Yanfu Immortal Vine, Foreign Race Delegation

Within the Immortal's Abandoned Field of the Lesser Spirit Realm.

Qin Ming's Natal Spirit Plant, the Black Vine, emanated a terrifying pressure as it completed its advancement and transformation.

Its main vine twisted like a horned dragon, golden and silver patterns appearing across its body. Deep within its core, it seemed as though a heart was beating.

Moreover, Qin Ming could sense that some ancient existence within the Black Vine was slowly awakening, seeking to descend upon the world once more.

In an instant.

A fragment of intent from the Black Vine was transmitted into Qin Ming's mind.

This strange Black Vine had changed from its initial basic need for essence blood into an intense craving for the essence of souls!

"I never expected it to enter the Soul-Devouring stage."

"I revived and regenerated it, feeding it Blood Orbs all the way until now. Counting the Affixes consumed and that terrifying power of the years, it must have accumulated a hundred thousand years' worth by now, right?"

"Even so, this Black Vine has only barely met the basic requirements for the second stage—the 'Soul-Devouring Stage.'"

From the intent transmitted by the Black Vine, Qin Ming finally learned that although it could continuously advance, the way it underwent qualitative transformations differed from other Spirit Plants.

Its first stage was called the 'Blood-Devouring Stage.' By devouring Blood Orbs, it could undergo incessant wild growth.

The second stage it had now entered was called the 'Soul-Devouring Stage.' While absorbing blood qi, the Black Vine also needed to devour soul essence in order to continue growing.

Once the Spirit Fruits on this Black Vine ripened, the beads harvested through the Thorn Art that Qin Ming cast using their Spirit Seeds would transform from Blood Orbs into 'Soul Pearls.'
