Destroyed and Rebuilt
When Ye Xuan's consciousness entered his sea of consciousness again, the scene that unfolded before his eyes was exactly the same as what he had seen when his consciousness had retreated in shock.
Everything in his sea of consciousness was still the same as before, except for the fingernail-sized dark purple spirit source core that had been suspended in the air above his sea of consciousness.
Instead, there was a dark purple substance that was somewhere between a gas and a solid, yet it wasn't quite the same as a liquid. It looked like jelly in a different form as it floated in Ye Xuan's sea of consciousness, swaying faintly.
Ye Xuan's heart sank when he saw this.
A demon core was as important to a demon as the primordial spirit of a human powerhouse. If the primordial spirit was gone, how could one still live?
Of course, the reason Ye Xuan was fine after his demon core had been destroyed was because he wasn't a demon.
However, this didn't mean that he was fine. Without a demon core, how could he survive in the demon world? It was like a bright star suddenly appearing in the night sky. It was simply too eye-catching. As soon as it appeared, countless demon powerhouses would flock over in an instant.
Cold sweat broke out on Ye Xuan's back.
Something big had happened!
Without the Demon Core, he would definitely die in the Demonkin Star Field!
With this kind of fear, Ye Xuan tried to circulate the mental energy in his sea of consciousness. In the end, he actually sent out a mental wind blade with a thought, cutting a small hole in the wall of the Underground Cave.
Huh?
His demon core had been destroyed, but his mind power hadn't been affected in the slightest?
This result caused Ye Xuan to be completely stunned. His heart, which had almost reached his throat, finally calmed down.
It was good that he still had his mind power. At the very least, he wouldn't be mistaken for a human spy.
After all, the demonic people would only determine if a person was a human spy based on whether or not they had any mind power. They wouldn't cut open a person's brain to see whether or not there was a mind power source core inside.
Out of caution, Ye Xuan then performed all the mental power skills and secret techniques he had mastered, including Perfect Shock, Absolute Shock, and so on. Of course, the Destructive Vortex was out of the question as it consumed too much of his mental power. Once he used it, all his mental power would be drained. That was not something a human could do.
The result was the same as usual. Although the mind source core in his mind had disappeared, he was able to use all his mind power without being affected.
In other words, he no longer had to worry about exposing his identity.
Even so, his Spirit Core had turned into a dark purple jelly of varying sizes that floated in his sea of consciousness. This kind of strange situation still caused Ye Xuan's heart to become extremely uneasy.
Actually, a solid source core was more reassuring and reliable. Thousands of jelly-like chunks of Mind Origin Source made Luo Yunyang feel nervous and on edge.
As he felt apprehensive, Ye Xuan had no choice but to ask for help from the Devouring System. He immediately ordered the system to appraise the jelly in his Knowledge Sea.
Soon, the system beeped in his mind. The appraisal results were out. "Ding! Congratulations to the host! The fourth transformation of the mind source core is in progress. Destruction followed by establishment. A grade-five source core is being condensed … "
What? He actually congratulated him?
Destruction followed by establishment? The fourth transformation of the source core is in progress?
A grade-five source core is being condensed?
The pleasant surprise came so quickly that Ye Xuan was completely dumbfounded when he heard the system beep in his mind.
He had originally given up helplessly, but he had never expected that the fourth transformation of the mind source core would come so late at the last minute.
Although this method was a little frightening and the process didn't seem like it could be completed in one day, the thousands of jelly chunks of various sizes in his Knowledge Sea would probably continue for some time. However, this didn't matter.
At the very least, the system's beep was congratulatory, which explained the problem.
Even though Ye Xuan's mind source core wasn't a true grade-five source core and was still in the process of being condensed, it was still a quasi-grade-five source core.
The Black Mosquito Tribe's High Priest, Huigulei, only had level-four mind power. Even if he used a secret mind technique similar to a soul-searching technique, it would still be impossible for him to investigate Luo Yunyang's mind source core and find any suspicious points.
Although there had been some twists and turns in the process, Ye Xuan had still achieved his goal in the end. This was a blessing in disguise.
When he considered that the process of condensing a grade-five source core might take some time, Ye Xuan didn't continue to waste time on this. His consciousness was still in his Knowledge Sea anyway, so all he could do was watch. He simply couldn't do anything.
Under such circumstances, his consciousness immediately withdrew from the sea of consciousness and opened his eyes.
When he got up and looked down, he saw a thick layer of small black horns piled up all around the altar. Every one of them was the size of a thumb, but they were densely packed together in a large pile.
If one had a phobia of fear, one's scalp would probably go numb.
Ye Xuan froze for a moment before he shook his head and smiled bitterly. He hadn't expected that he would unknowingly use up so many Weeping Soul Beasts this time.
With a wave of his hand, he took out the small space box containing the small black horns. Then, he put away all the small black horns on the ground around the altar. After some calculations, he realized that he had used up exactly 110,000 Weeping Soul Beasts this time.
110,000 Weeping Soul Beasts had only allowed his mind source core to transform from grade-four to grade-five. Compared to the previous consumption, this was a huge increase.
It seemed like the next time he wanted to transform his mind source core from grade-five to grade-six, he would need to consume millions of Weeping Soul Beasts.
Fortunately, he had more than 60 million Weeping Soul Beasts in his possession. This would be enough for him to upgrade his mind source core from grade-six to grade-seven. If he included the demonic brain cores that he obtained from killing demonic powerhouses in the future, Ye Xuan's mind source core would be able to transform from grade-seven to grade-eight.
When he thought about that day, he got excited.
Even the current Demon Emperor of the demonic race only had a grade-seven mind source core.
If his mind source core could be upgraded to grade-eight one day, then the amount of mind source power stored within it would be enough to suppress the Demon Emperor with a secret mind suppression technique.
Besides, as his mind source core transformed a few more times, he would obtain even more powerful mind secret techniques and mystic abilities. When he thought about that day, Ye Xuan got really excited.
After putting away the small space box containing the large number of small black horns, Ye Xuan suddenly remembered the problem of time. When he did some calculations, he realized that there were only four days left before he had to head to the Black Mosquito Star. Cold sweat started to form on his forehead. He had nearly messed up something big.
