From day to night, they were still tirelessly playing with the Immortal Emperors.
But Chu Yang took his leave first.
His objective had been achieved: while ensuring these powerful figures focused on nurturing the geniuses, he also discussed cultivation strategies for each talent.
This brought him immense benefits and a great sense of fortune.
Although these old foxes had exploited a loophole in the [Ascension Tower], it was a well-exploited loophole. At least four people no longer required his personal worry.
However, regarding the girl named Shen Yingxue... Chu Yang felt she needed to pick up the pace. The second phase of the [Demonic Spirit Realm] trials would end tomorrow, and she absolutely had to advance to the third phase.
With two thousand people entering each time, the demonic beasts within this small world were simply not enough for them to slay.
Originally, the rules of the [Demonic Spirit Realm] had a very reasonable distribution of demonic beasts of various levels, with the strong occupying the central positions and the weak dispersed towards the periphery.
But after two phases of trials, it had become chaotic, with demonic beasts of all tiers appearing in a random distribution.
It was no longer possible to treat the outer regions as safe zones for slacking off as before.
During the current ongoing trial, someone resting in the outer area was ambushed and killed by demonic beasts.
This also meant that the third phase would be even more challenging!
And Chu Yang was somewhat concerned about Shen Yingxue, this seemingly delicate young girl.
However, slaughter was an inevitable path for every Immortal Emperor. Even if the peerless Empress Wanhua was breathtaking, the number of prodigies who met their end at her hands was likely no less than those killed by the Dragon Blood War Emperor.
Currently, at the top of the [Demonic Spirit Realm] trial leaderboard was that punk, Liang Zifan.
His performance was indeed astonishing, but the rate at which this batch of people obtained demonic cores was on a completely different level compared to the first batch.
Today was the last day, and tonight was the final night.
Liang Zifan, ranked first, had only accumulated 90 points. Consider that even Zhang Xiaohu, ranked tenth, had 99 points. Although there was still one night left, Chu Yang believed Liang Zifan could at most reach a little over a hundred.
Fortunately, due to his desperate fighting, his cultivation had already broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
The cultivation speed of someone with top-tier aptitude was indeed very fast. Without the Foundation Establishment stage, it would have been difficult to accumulate so many points.
There weren't many low-level demonic beasts left for him to kill, and replicating Zhang Xiaohu's record of 99 first-tier demonic beasts was basically impossible.
The third phase would be interesting. Many of those who had cultivated in the Li Huo Palace for two years were planning to join the third phase of the [Demonic Spirit Realm] trials, leveraging the cultivation gap between themselves and outsiders.
The rewards for the top ten were too tempting, so Li Qingyun and the others would certainly not compete for them, leaving the opportunity for these newcomers.
Besides them, Zhang Xiaohu would definitely participate in this third phase trial. He was no longer the same person he was then.
Not only had he changed to a high-grade cultivation technique, but he had also cultivated in the Li Huo Palace ruins for two years. Furthermore, he was quite familiar with Xue Qianwei, so he had Xue Qianwei identify the elixirs he had obtained from the Alchemy Hall of the Li Huo Palace.
Using those elixirs that aided in cultivation to boost his strength, he had forcibly pushed himself to the late Foundation Establishment stage.
However, for his aptitude, the bottleneck from Foundation Establishment to Golden Core might be more difficult for him than for others.
Even so, he could still dominate the [Demonic Spirit Realm]!
What's more, he had an agreement with the Profound Sun Sparrow. Zhang Xiaohu was under the Profound Sun Sparrow's protection, so... the first place in the third phase was almost a foregone conclusion.
But this was no longer Chu Yang's concern. He was now going to check on the little fatty.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed in the real world, but over a hundred days had gone by within the Li Huo Palace ruins.
Chu Yang flickered and entered the alchemy room.
Xue Qianwei was using other cauldrons to research other elixirs.
As for her cauldron, it had already gone through several batches of soup... ah, no, it should be body tempering fluid.
At this moment, Xiao Long was still closing his eyes and circulating the [Chaos Scripture]. Unfortunately, there was no Dao fruit consciousness left by the Chaos Body within the [Ascension Tower], so Chu Yang had to nurture it himself.
Upon seeing Chu Yang enter, Xue Qianwei was not startled; she was accustomed to it.
She pointed at Xiao Long in the pot and said, "About a month ago, he entered this meditative state. We don't know if he's in enlightenment or if I've cooked him."
"Is the dragon blood I refined last time all used up?"
Xue Qianwei nodded, "It's all used up, and the effect was incredibly powerful. Just look at him, I even want to cook myself!"
Chu Yang then noticed that in just one day, Xiao Long's body showed no trace of excess fat.
His height had also increased significantly, and his cultivation had advanced from early Qi Refining to late Qi Refining.
The talent of the Chaos Body was truly not to be trifled with.
In addition, faint blue patterns had appeared on his skin, exuding a hint of dragon might.
This was the power of the Thunder Dragon, refined from the body tempering fluid and attached to his skin.
And he had previously evolved the power of the Thunder Dragon according to Chu Yang's instructions, now essentially becoming a humanoid Thunder Dragon.
He could use almost all the abilities that a Thunder Dragon could unleash.
The ability of the [Chaos Scripture] was to evolve the opponent's abilities from their blood.
"He's fine, he just got too deeply involved in evolving the Thunder Dragon. He'll wake up soon."
As Chu Yang had said, the sleeping Xiao Long opened his eyes.
Within his eyes, it was as if chaos flowed, transforming into wisps of electric arcs. Despite being only twelve years old, he already exuded a trace of dominance.
Feeling the explosive strength surging within him, Xiao Long excitedly jumped out of the cauldron.
"Haha! Master, let Li Qingyun suppress his realm and fight me, he definitely won't be my match!"
Xue Qianwei raised an eyebrow and, looking at Xiao Long's little brother, tutted and sighed, "Tsk tsk tsk, this dragon blood actually has that kind of effect. When I saw him go in last time, he was just a toothpick..."
Xiao Long froze for a moment, then looked down. His entire body turned even redder than if he had been cooked. He let out a pig-slaughtering scream and plunged back into the dragon blood body tempering fluid, only his head sticking out.
"Boss Xue! Master! Why didn't you give me clothes! You pervert! You assaulted me!!"
Chu Yang said disdainfully, "What are you barking like a dog for? Why does a little kid need so much shame?"
"I didn't..."
"Get up, prepare to go out!"
"What? You're not cooking me anymore?"
"We're about to start the last phase of the Demonic Beast Secret Realm trial..." Chu Yang patted Xiao Long's shoulder and said earnestly, "It's time to see blood and let the world know you have arrived!"
