The Yuan Venerate added, "Your Master once roamed the Mystic World and spent a lot of effort searching for this earth spirit core. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it until something happened to me."
"After hearing what you said, Master, we really hit the jackpot this time. Will this thing help you recover your cultivation base?"
Ling Xiao was pleasantly surprised in his heart, but his face revealed a look of concern.
On one hand, he had to improve his cultivation base to face all kinds of challenges. On the other hand, there was absolutely no harm in making his backer stronger.
Once the Yuan Venerate could recover, it would be of great help to him.
"Thank you for your kindness, but Master doesn't rely on the earth spirit core to recover. In any case, Master has already waited for so long, so it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer. Once your cultivation base becomes stronger, just help Master find it in the future."
The Yuan Venerate had once frantically tried to regain his human form and strength. However, after so long, he had become calmer and was no longer as anxious and urgent as before.
"I'll take it now!"
Ling Xiao said.
"I'm afraid that won't be easy. The Evil Beast Demon King has been staying in this cave and can only use the earth spirit source stone. He can't use the earth spirit core, so I reckon he won't be able to take it. If he can't do it, how can you?"
The Yuan Venerate smiled bitterly.
"Where there's a will, there's a way. If he can't do it, it doesn't mean that I can't."
Ling Xiao wasn't being arrogant. He had the Mountain River Martial Soul, which was something the Evil Beast Demon King couldn't compare to.
The Yuan Venerate shook his head and didn't stop Ling Xiao. Young people always had to suffer some setbacks before they knew the hardships of life. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't learn their lesson.
However, a moment later, his eyes widened even more than when he had seen the earth spirit core.
"Damn! How did you do it, kid?"
The earth spirit core was gone!
He had seen Ling Xiao put the earth spirit core into his storage ring with his own eyes!
How had he done it?
"Master, don't worry about how I did it. Anyway, now that I have this thing, the next step is to deal with the Evil Beast Demon King!"
Ling Xiao wasn't willing to explain further.
If he lied too much, it would be difficult for him to make up for it in the future.
"That's true, but what do you plan to do with those people in prison?"
Yuan Venerate asked.
"Naturally, I want them to owe me a favor. I think those people should be warriors from the Heavenly Dragon Continent. If I'm in trouble in the future, I'll need friends to help me."
Ling Xiao said after some thought.
"But some people might not accept this favor. Instead, they might kill you!"
Yuan Venerate reminded him.
"Of course I know that. Because of that, I'll release them together with the Moon Maiden after dealing with the Evil Beast Demon King. If anyone dares to disrespect me, I'll just kill them. After all, there's no point in keeping those ungrateful bastards alive."
Ling Xiao smiled.
"Looks like I was worried for nothing. You're not stupid."
Yuan Venerate yawned. "I can't take it anymore. I was lured out by the earth spirit core and I'm still exhausted. I'm going to sleep for a while more. You go first. If you need any help, just call Master. I've almost recovered."
"Alright!"
Ling Xiao put the Yuan Venerate back into the beast ring before leaving the fork and entering the path where the Evil Beast Demon King was recuperating.
However, as soon as he entered the path, a roar was suddenly heard.
Immediately after, the gigantic cocoon shattered, and a silkworm crawled out from within!
This silkworm was two to three meters long and its entire body was like white jade. It looked very beautiful.
However, it was also somewhat sinister.
Think about it, that was a silkworm that was two to three meters long! The most troublesome thing was that its body was as thick as a bucket. It was simply a short, fat python.
"Evil Beast Demon King?"
Ling Xiao sensed the aura of the Evil Beast Demon King from this fat silkworm. However, it was much weaker than before.
"He he … This fellow probably hates you to death. The reason he wanted to stay here to recuperate was because he could absorb the energy of the earth spirit core. In the end, the earth spirit core was taken away by you and he couldn't continue to recover."
Yuan Venerate's voice was heard again.
"No way! Then why didn't he just recuperate near the earth spirit core?"
Ling Xiao asked in confusion.
"Stupid! There is no way to set up an array formation near the earth spirit core. He still has to set up a small Thousand Beast Blood Refining Array to recuperate," Yuan Venerate replied.
"Alright, let's not bother about this first. Hurry up and destroy this fellow. He is very weak now!"
"Master, are you kidding me? Even if he is very weak, he is still not someone I can deal with. I originally intended to launch a sneak attack while he was recuperating. Now that he has woken up, let's flee and let the Moon Ladies deal with him. "
Ling Xiao wasn't that arrogant. He knew very well that even if he temporarily maintained the strength of a half-step Heavenly Venerate, he definitely couldn't go head-to-head with the Evil Beast Demon King. That would simply be courting death.
The Evil Beast Demon King had just come out of the cocoon. When he saw Ling Xiao, all his old and new grudges erupted. His white jade-like body turned scarlet with anger.
Silkworm Baby's expression also became very sinister.
"Hurry up and run!"
Ling Xiao only had one thought now. He had already obtained the earth spirit core anyway. Even if he couldn't kill the Evil Beast Demon King, he would still have profited greatly. As long as he could escape this place, he would definitely make a profit this time.
However, he had really run into trouble this time.
He had never expected that the chubby Evil Beast Demon King would actually be faster than him and block his way out in an instant, leaving him with no way to escape.
Ling Xiao, who was about to dash forward, quickly stopped in his tracks.
The Evil Beast Demon King was really cunning. If he had chosen to attack directly, he could have used the other party's True Origin to slip away.
However, the other party hadn't attacked directly. Instead, he had blocked the only way out. This was clearly a prelude to taking care of him.
The huge silkworm's eyes glared at Ling Xiao with fury and murderous intent.
The ant that he had once ignored had repeatedly become a factor that caused him to fail on the verge of success. He was very upset!
Very upset!
"Kid, don't even think about going anywhere today. I will definitely torture you properly and let you know the consequences of offending the Nine Great Demon Kings of the True Demon Empire!"
The Evil Beast Demon King bellowed furiously. A whistling gust of wind blew Ling Xiao away and sent him crashing heavily against the cave wall.
Damn! This fellow was too ferocious. How could he be so ruthless in one breath?
Although Ling Xiao did not suffer any injuries, wanting to escape had become a huge problem.
Could he only enter the form of the Ancient Golden Dragon?
Apart from that, there was no other way.
"Kid, do you need my help?"
The Yuan Venerate asked.
"There is no need for that for the time being. Potential can only be stimulated between life and death."
