"This is the Divine Seed!"
Su Changkong grabbed the Divine Seed with his palm and began to curiously examine it closely.
The entire Divine Seed was a faint black color, as if it contained a massive beast curled up inside, silently sleeping.
Su Changkong had seen Divine Seeds before, but this was indeed his first time being in close contact with one.
This Divine Seed came from the Evil Emperor who once unified the Evil Sect Demon Gate. As his descendant, Wei Shengxin had taken control of it, even using it to enter the Saint realm!
Unfortunately, even after entering the Saint realm, he still met his demise at the hands of Su Changkong and was killed, after which the Divine Seed recondensed.
The Divine Seeds of Martial Saints could be passed down from generation to generation. Theoretically, the number of Martial Saints would increase over time!
Su Changkong calmed his rapidly flowing True Blood, his skin returning to its normal color, and the wild, ferocious aura gradually dissipated, becoming calm.
The corpse of Wei Shengxin was also collected by Su Changkong into the Bag of Book Fragrance; the body of a Martial Saint should have some value.
"Wei Shengxin is finally dead!"
Ji Xue Xiao and Heavenly Corpse Old Man then approached, with the Heavenly Corpse Old Man’s face full of amazement. Wei Shengxin, this Divine Seed of Bloodline Regression, considered entering the Saint realm as merely a starting point and was invincible.
Yet today, he was struck down in his retreat by Su Changkong who came knocking, killed on the spot, silently. Only Ji Xue Xiao and Heavenly Corpse Old Man witnessed this shocking battle with their own eyes!
"It’s a pity, just before Wei Shengxin died, he threw his Storage Treasure containing all his possessions into the corrosive poison liquid that burst forth from the Beast of the Evil Emperor, turning them all to ash!"
Su Changkong also voiced his regret.
Knowing he was to be defeated and harbor intense hatred for Su Changkong, Wei Shengxin preferred death over allowing Su Changkong to gain more from him.
When detonating the Beast of the Evil Emperor to flee, Wei Shengxin had destroyed the Storage Treasure containing numerous treasures and Ancient Scriptures, which included Unparalleled Techniques, not willing to benefit Su Changkong.
Although Su Changkong felt pity, he did not dwell too much on it, for being able to kill Wei Shengxin on the spot had already been smooth enough!
Not to mention his considerable gains. Although the Evil Mountain Range was not a Cave Heaven and Blessed Land, the Evil Emperor had initially brought dozens or nearly a hundred Spirit Veins from different places by great means and transplanted them into the Evil Mountain Range.
Refining all the Spiritual Energy in these Spirit Veins into Innate Qi would significantly increase the total amount of Mysterious Turtle True Essence in Su Changkong.
The biggest gain, of course, was that Divine Seed of the Beast of the Evil Emperor!
If the Divine Seed, even if unusable for himself, could bring enormous benefits if traded with millennium-old families eager to snatch it up at a great price!
"Brother Blade, this Divine Seed seems to have a high compatibility with you, it’s showing no signs of rejection."
Ji Xue Xiao, who was standing beside him, looked at the Divine Seed of the Beast of the Evil Emperor lying quietly in the palm of Su Changkong and spoke.
"Yes, it’s indeed not rejecting me,"
Su Changkong nodded.
A Divine Seed is spiritual, and if one’s compatibility isn’t high enough, it will be rejected. However, if the compatibility is high enough, the Divine Seed will actively recognize its master.
Just like in the Chi Dragon Hall previously, when the Hanchi Divine Seed faced everyone, it expressed strong resistance, directly unleashing its Divine Skills within, affecting even Su Changkong who was buried underground.
Ji Xue Xiao had an unusually high compatibility with that Divine Seed; the Hanchi Divine Seed even flew towards her on its own!
Now, the Divine Seed of the Beast of the Evil Emperor obtained by Su Changkong was quietly lying in his hand, indicating a high compatibility between Su Changkong and it, at least... enough to make mastering and refining it not problematic.
If the compatibility isn’t there, forcibly refining it would backfire, hence even with a Divine Seed, its suitability matters greatly, and this compatibility depends on the martial artist’s physique and the cultivation techniques practiced.
If the cultivation technique practiced is of the fire attribute and the Divine Seed is of the opposite water attribute, then the compatibility will definitely not be high.
"It seems due to my practice of the Whale Technique, Five Animal Frolics, Turtle Breath Technique, and other martial arts skills,"
Su Changkong muttered to himself. Most of the cultivation techniques he practiced had something in common with the Divine Seed of the Beast of the Evil Emperor, at least... they both relate to beasts, which is why this Divine Seed of the Beast of the Evil Emperor had a high compatibility with Su Changkong.
It would be easy for Su Changkong to master and refine it, and since Su Changkong had already reached the Soul Realm, it wouldn’t be difficult for him to refine the Divine Seed of the Beast of the Evil Emperor to achieve Martial Saint.
Of course, Su Changkong knew refining the Divine Seed would damage his potential. He would not undertake such a counterproductive action.
"Brother Blade, I think it’s best if you keep this Divine Seed for yourself. Not refining it, but mastering it, treating it like a weapon or a tool, would also be a great help!"
Ji Xue Xiao said to Su Changkong from the side.
"Use it as a weapon, as a tool?" Upon hearing this, Su Changkong had a thought.
Ji Xue Xiao nodded slightly; "That’s right, only partially refining it, not completely, although it won’t unleash all the powers of the Divine Skills contained within the seed, it will still be stronger than a Pseudo Divine Skill. It’s like having a powerful trump card! If you later decide not to use it, should you encounter a more suitable Divine Seed, just extract it from your body, although this will damage your body and you will never be able to refine that Divine Seed again." 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Not completely refining the Divine Seed, no matter what, would only unleash a small part of its power, but that’s still powerful enough!
Like Ji Xue Xiao and Wei Shengxin, they had not planned to refine the Divine Seed to enter Saint, but rather to rely on their own abilities to enter. If they find it difficult to progress any further on their own, then they would choose to refine the Divine Seed.
