Extreme Joy Begets Sorrow
Time passed slowly. Unknowingly, another two days had passed!
There were only five days left before they had to leave for the Black Mosquito Star.
As the time was approaching, Li Mosquito, Naiboshan, and Ba Chai had already stopped collecting the Weeping Soul Beasts and were waiting anxiously.
On the ground around the altar where Ye Xuan was sitting cross-legged, there was a thick pile of small black horns. At a glance, there were already close to a hundred thousand of them, but he still had no intention of stopping. Currently, there were still a hundred Weeping Soul Beasts floating in front of him, wrapped in his spiritual power. They had long lost their physical forms and were about to be completely collected.
If this continued, the last five days would simply pass in the blink of an eye. At that time, they would most likely delay the important matter of going to the Black Mosquito Star.
After all, it would take a day to return to Black Mountain City from the depths of the Weeping Soul Cave.
Looking at each other, Li Mosquito, Naiboshan, and Ba Chai immediately made a decision. At most, they would wait four days. If Ye Xuan still did not end his closed-door cultivation after four days, they could only try to cautiously remind him!
At this moment, Ye Xuan's entire mind was completely immersed in his Knowledge Sea.
In the past five days, as one Weeping Soul Beast after another was refined by the devouring system, it absorbed a large amount of spiritual origin energy and poured it into his sea of consciousness. At the same time that it continued to nourish his sea of consciousness, it was like a trickle that flowed into the spiritual origin that floated above Ye Xuan's sea of consciousness. His consciousness had almost always been in a floating and intoxicated state.
To use a very vulgar phrase to describe it, it felt so good that it was bubbling!
As mentioned before, absorbing the spiritual origin of the Weeping Soul Beasts was different from decomposing and extracting the spiritual origin from the demon's brain nuclei.
Generally speaking, the demon's brain nuclei that Ye Xuan threw to the devouring system to decompose and extract the spiritual origin energy were basically a sea of them. After this sea of spiritual origin energy was completely decomposed and extracted, once Ye Xuan gave the command to extract it, the devouring system would often pour it all into his Knowledge Sea in an instant.
It was as if a flood dam had collapsed. The huge impact at that moment was simply indescribable.
Perhaps the Devouring System was doing this on purpose because this kind of bold and decisive method was obviously the most obvious and effective way to expand the sea of consciousness and temper its strength.
Unlike that kind of pain, the devouring system did not cut off the spiritual origin energy that he had absorbed from the Weeping Soul Beast. After accumulating a certain amount, he handed it over to Ye Xuan and allowed it to rush into his Knowledge Sea. Instead, it was done in real time. Whatever amount of spiritual origin energy he had absorbed from the Weeping Soul Beast was immediately transferred into his Knowledge Sea.
Therefore, even if he absorbed a hundred of them at a time, the amount was not large. However, the advantage was that it could last for a long time. Not only was it gentle, this gentleness was endless …
In comparison, the method of absorbing the spiritual origin from the demon's brain was like drinking strong alcohol that burned the throat. It was satisfying, but it would more or less cause some damage to the throat.
But using the Weeping Soul Beast's method of absorbing spirit source was like drinking a bowl of mildly warm millet. That kind of soft and comfortable feeling was fascinating …
For five whole days, Ye Xuan was immersed in this feeling. His entire body was so comfortable that he felt like he was floating in the air.
The hidden injuries that he had suffered from using the demon's brain to absorb the spiritual origin had all been healed a long time ago. In fact, some of them had even been healed.
In short, his Knowledge Sea was now completely free of all the minor hidden injuries. It couldn't be any more healthy.
After five whole days of absorbing nearly 100,000 Weeping Soul Beasts, the spiritual origin core that had been suspended above his Knowledge Sea had grown from the size of a soybean to the size of a pinky finger. Although it was still unremarkable, it was about twice as big as before.
Even though the quantitative change was already so obvious, the qualitative change that Ye Xuan had been hoping for still hadn't appeared!
Another half a day passed. When the number of Weeping Soul Beasts that Ye Xuan had absorbed reached the 110,000 mark, he was finally completely disappointed.
110,000 Weeping Soul Beasts had all turned into the purest spiritual origin power that had been absorbed by him. The spiritual origin core suspended above his Knowledge Sea had already shrunk from the size of a soybean to the size of two grains. However, the fourth source core transformation that he had been anticipating still hadn't happened.
It seemed like he was really getting a little impatient.
After all, his spiritual origin core had just undergone its third transformation and become a grade-four source core not too long ago.
Indeed, compared to the average demon powerhouse, the probability of his source core transforming was much, much higher. However, it wasn't to the extent that he could transform whenever he wanted.
If that was the case, would it still be a spiritual origin core?
As soon as he thought about this, Ye Xuan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He had indeed been a little possessed.
However, the past five days hadn't been in vain. After absorbing the spiritual origin power of 110,000 Weeping Soul Beasts, the spiritual origin core in Ye Xuan's Knowledge Sea had doubled in size. This meant that the total amount of his grade-four mind power had doubled.
Although this doubling of his mind power wouldn't be reflected in his cultivation base breakthrough, as he mainly cultivated the Dongxu Cultivation Method. If he wanted to break through his cultivation base, he would need to break through his Dongxu Cultivation Method.
However, just because he hadn't broken through his cultivation base didn't mean that his combat strength hadn't increased. His total amount of grade-four mind power had doubled. Even though Ye Xuan was still at the first-stage Meteor Stage, his current combat strength was definitely much greater than it had been five days ago.
This wasn't a bad thing, as this was a cheat. Although his actual combat strength had increased, his cultivation base hadn't changed at all. He hadn't changed at all, not hidden it. No matter whether it was the human race or the demon race, he reckoned that no one else would be able to do such a thing.
Just as Ye Xuan sighed in his heart and was about to leave, the dark purple spirit core that was the size of a fingernail that was suspended above his sea of consciousness suddenly changed.
BOOM!
A thunderous explosion was heard, shaking Ye Xuan's entire Knowledge Sea. His consciousness, which had been caught off guard, was nearly shaken by this loud explosion.
After recovering from his shock with great difficulty, Ye Xuan once again looked towards the spirit core above his sea of consciousness. The scene that entered his eyes instantly caused him to be completely dumbfounded. His entire body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave!
It was gone!
This was simply a case of extreme joy turning to sorrow!
The dark purple spiritual origin core, which had been the size of a fingernail, was actually completely gone. It seemed as if it had been completely destroyed by the explosion. However, in the air above his Knowledge Sea, there were now wisps of dark purple mist, which seemed to be a cross between a gas and a solid substance, exuding a mysterious aura.
As he was extremely shocked, Ye Xuan immediately opened his eyes. He was worried that what he had just seen in his Knowledge Sea had been an illusion.
