"When biochemistry is developed to the peak, the terrifying creatures known as' biochemical beasts' are born!
"There's a certain amount of risk in cultivating genes because the world of genetic information is as vast as the sea, mysterious and unfathomable. No one knows what kind of changes will happen to the body after activating a certain dormant gene. There's a chance that scales will grow all over the body and become as hard as iron. There's also a chance that one will suddenly turn into a puddle of pus and die a horrible death. There's even a possibility that there won't be any changes on the outside, but one's respiratory organs won't be able to adapt to the air of this era.
"Therefore, we have to be very careful when we are training and never unlock the gene strands randomly.
"Biochemical beasts are different. They are artificial lives created by mixing the genes of dozens of powerful demon beasts. They do not have thinking ability or self-awareness and can be connected to the user through nerves or brainwaves. They are essentially the 'clones' of the user.
"In the field of biochemical beasts, the specialists of genetics and cytology can make full use of their imagination and creativity. Therefore, countless terrifying weapons that are as powerful as the primeval beasts have been created!
"Once the demons are connected to the biochemical beasts, their combat ability will be improved by at least three to five times. For the best biochemical beasts, their combat ability can even be improved by ten times!"
Jin Xinyue said, beaming with joy.
Li Yao frowned. Pondering for a moment, he said, "Yesterday, when I was chasing the prince of the Nether Spring Kingdom and was about to execute him, a giant centipede dozens of meters long suddenly crawled out of the ground. It had three bloody horns on its head and was spurting poisonous gas with a sweet smell. Then, the prince of the Nether Spring Kingdom crawled into the head of the giant centipede and seemed to have melded with it. Was it a biochemical beast?"
Jin Xinyue shuddered and gasped. "Yes. It was the 'Red Horn Thousand Feet', a biochemical beast that Elder Nether Spring refined in person. It is one of the strongest biochemical beasts in the Blood Demon Sector. I didn't know that Elder Nether Spring had such a monster. He was even willing to take action! What happened later? Did you slay Yuan Du and the 'Red Horn Thousand Feet', senior? "
Li Yao shook his head. "No. I slashed it and plucked one of its horns. Then, intense venomous fog burst out of it. He used the poisonous fog to escape. "
"In the beginning, I was indeed only curious about this thing that you two were fighting over. In order to chase after you, I ignored this little fellow."
Jin Xinyue was speechless. Yuan Du was a mid-level demon king. Together with the enhancement of the "Red Horn Thousand Feet", he could even fight a high-level demon king. However, he did not expect that he would be forced to flee under the pressure of this old monster. Even the poisonous horn of his biochemical beast had been removed.
The strength of this old monster was truly unfathomable!
Putting on a brilliant smile, Jin Xinyue clapped her hands and said, "Senior, you are truly unparalleled and invincible. Yuan Du was so scared that he pissed his pants when you coughed. If you can find a few top-tier biochemical beasts and build them into your 'clones' that you can command as you please, I can't imagine how strong you will be, senior!"
Li Yao chuckled for a moment. Then, his smile suddenly vanished as he said coldly, "There's no need to flatter me. In fact, you have said so much just to arouse my interest with the 'modern theories of the demon Cultivators' so that I can escort you back to the Gold Crow Kingdom safely and even join your father Jin Tuyi's side to compete with Nether Spring's forces. Isn't that right? "
Jin Xinyue smiled even more brilliantly and said, "Senior, you are very perceptive. Of course, I can't hide my intentions from you at all."
Li Yao sniffed. "Now that you mention it, I am indeed very curious about the modern theories of the demon Cultivators. It seems that the world has truly changed a lot in the past forty thousand years!
"Escort you back to the Gold Crow Kingdom. That's not a bad idea. It's my wish to participate in the war between you and the Tian Yuan Realm, too. Even if you don't accept my offer, I'm still very curious about what kind of experts there are in the world of Cultivators today that I can butcher. Also, what exactly is the 'Crystal Suit' that you mentioned? How strong is it? Can it resist one of my attacks?
"However, you must tell me everything you know dutifully. If I discover that you are hiding anything from me, hehehehe …"
The killing intent that was as intense as a fog made Jin Xinyue tremble violently again. She hurried to kneel and beg for mercy, shouting, "I dare not."
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and said, "I failed to kill the prince of the Nether Spring Kingdom. He must've brought back news about us. I don't think that Elder Nether Spring will let us leave the Hundred Desolation Mountain easily.
"He is just a demon emperor. Of course, I'm not scared of him. But right now, the mutations in your body will be a burden."
Thinking for a moment, Li Yao opened and closed his right hand. He seemed to have picked up a cluster of flames out of thin air and slapped it on Jin Xinyue's skull.
A warm current immediately flowed into Jin Xinyue's brain.
Jin Xinyue was so scared that she almost peed in her pants. She thought that the temperamental old monster was going to kill her.
Just as he was about to scream, he discovered that there was nothing wrong with his body. Instead, as the warm current flowed into his body, a brand new power was awakened in his internal organs, meridians, and veins. It was like a small fish fighting to rise to the surface of a calm pond on a hot afternoon.
"This — this is a secret art that the Cultivators and demons used to examine the Cultivation and bone structure of their disciples in the age of the ancient Cultivators forty thousand years ago!"
Jin Xinyue suddenly realized what was going on.
Forty thousand years ago, the demon race had just risen. They were deeply entangled with the Cultivators. On many occasions, the demon race was like the students of the Cultivators who would crazily absorb everything from their teachers.
Therefore, many of the experts of the demon race at that time were adept at secret arts of the Cultivators other than their naturally-endowed techniques. If they turned into human beings, they would be as gentle as a deity. They would be no different from the real experts.
Jin Xinyue's aptitude was tested by Li Yao with the long-lost ancient secret art of bone touching. She felt that it was absurd. She did not know whether she had been teleported or the old monster had been teleported.
Li Yao was ten times more shocked than Jin Xinyue.
"Weird. Weird. Why are there such powerful spiritual waves inside her body?"
Li Yao sensed that the spiritual energy stored inside Jin Xinyue's body was as vast as an ocean. It gradually filled her limbs and veins. Part of the spiritual energy was even condensed to her abdomen, where it revolved slowly and formed … the prototype of Jin Dan!
"I."
Under Li Yao's guidance, Jin Xinyue gradually sensed the brand-new strength inside her body. She was dumbfounded when she thought of a possibility.
Li Yao concluded slowly. "It seems that the weird drug only changed the form of your cells but did not deprive you of your strength. It only changed the form of your strength.
"In the past, you were a demon king.
"After the conversion, you will become the corresponding Core Formation Stage cultivator."
"Of course, it was just the intensity of your spiritual energy. You knew nothing about the utilization of spiritual energy. Naturally, you were no match for a real Core Formation Stage Cultivator. You might not even be a match for a Building Foundation Stage Cultivator. You were like a three-year-old child who had the strength of a thousand kilograms. It was impossible for you to defeat a real warrior.
Jin Xinyue was relieved at first. In the Blood Demon Sector, where the strong preyed on the weak, strength was everything. Turning into a human being for no reason was not the most terrible thing. If she lost her strength and became a fish on the chopping block, she might as well kill herself right now.
Her strength was still there, except that it had been changed into a different form. It was the best news of the day.
But how was she going to make use of the strength?
Li Yao watched the changes on her face casually until Jin Xinyue came back to herself and looked at her earnestly. Then, he retrieved almost ten crystals of high purity from his Cosmos Ring unhurriedly.
With his left hand behind his back, Li Yao raised an invisible stream of spiritual energy with his right hand, making the crystals float in midair.
As the spiritual energy surged out, the crystals collided and polished into powder that splashed out like snowflakes. The hard crystals seemed to have turned into soft mud that was changing their form and gradually dissecting into delicate components.
Li Yao's eyes suddenly shined. All the components were combined into a vintage jade chip after cracking noises.
"Shua!"
A cluster of spiritual energy rose up inside Li Yao's palm again and refined the jade chip from the beginning to the end. In the end, the spiritual energy did not die out but dashed into the jade chip like dragons and turned into the colorful patterns on the surface of the jade chip!
After a few seconds of refinement, the surface of the jade slip became crystalline and translucent, and it contained a wisp of spirit energy that was brimming with vitality. It was as if it had been carefully polished by a craftsman for ten days and ten nights, and then it had been used by someone for a few decades. It was like an ancient treasure!
Jin Xinyue was completely shocked!
If she had not seen it with her own eyes, she would've thought that the jade chip was an ancient treasure that had just been excavated from an ancient residence. She had never imagined that it had been refined by a single hand!
This — this is the most standard, purest ancient refining technique. It is definitely not something that modern demons or human beings can practice!
"Moreover, he only used one hand and only took a few minutes to refine an ancient jade chip using the ancient method!"
This is too horrifying. This is too strong. This is too unbelievable!
Jin Xinyue was soaked in cold sweat again.
She knew that the division of professions in the age of ancient Cultivators was not clear. Cultivators and demons at that time were all experts of all professions. They were both good at refining and killing.
If the old monster had only just woken up after sleeping for tens of thousands of years, it would not be strange that he knew the secret arts of Cultivation and the arts of refining.
However, even the experts of refining in the age of ancient Cultivators might not have been able to refine a jade chip with only one hand in only several minutes!
Li Yao pressed the jade chip against his forehead softly. His telepathic thoughts flooded into the jade chip like tides.
The ancient jade chip had a smaller capacity. Its advantage was that it was more convenient to use. As long as it was pressed against the forehead, the information could be stored and erased.
Li Yao retrieved a few classics of the Heavenly Refining Tower from Ou Yezi's memory pieces and transcribed them into the jade chip. Then, he threw the jade chip to Jin Xinyue casually.
