Great Earthquake (Mastery): Releases a great earthquake to intimidate opponents.

Gale (Mastery): Its appearance will bring a gale, and when angered, there will be flashes of lightning and thunder.

Exorcism (Mastery): The aura it emits will cause Exotic Beasts of the Undead Element and Dark Element to fall into fear.

[Evolutionary Path 1: None.]

Speaking of which, having this Kui Ox as Big Gray's mount seems to be a pretty good choice.

But why does the name have the word Thunder in front of it?

Ye Bai always feels like he's nurturing it wrong, but also like there's nothing wrong.

After such hard work to obtain a Kui Ox, it even became Big Gray's mount.

It feels like an achievement, but also like it isn't.

Could it be that the master ancestor wants him to nurture another Kui Ox?

The great plan of Kui Ox propagation is something that needs research right now.

Ye Bai disperses the thunderclouds over the island.

A strip of golden light descends from the sky, falling onto Big Gray and the Thunder Kui Ox.

The Exotic Beasts released on the island are mostly gone.

As for the five unusual Thunder Battle Oxen, aside from becoming physically stronger, with two horns on their heads, there's not much difference.

The horns dropped by the Thunder Kui Ox can be used to forge weapons.

These weapons, once crafted, should be able to emit furious thunder.

Once the Kui Ox was born, Ye Bai could finally report the task as completed.

He recorded the experimental process, preparing to have the master ancestor review it. If everything is fine, he plans to publish a paper.

The steward also reported Ye Bai's progress to the Star Sage.

The Star Sage was reading an ancient book, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face: "My young junior has a talent for research that's even a bit stronger than mine."

"Interesting, indeed interesting."

"Alright, I understand."

The Star Sage originally planned to meet Ye Bai and win him over.

But having acquired a more important Divine Crystal, the Star Sage abandoned this idea.

She was searching for a way to harness the Divine Crystal, and the book she was holding was a gift from the God of Knowledge.

The Divine Crystal is a product of the Law, and without the robust body of an angel, the Star Sage naturally couldn't bear the power of the Divine Crystal.

The method she found was to use an angel's body as a vessel for the Divine Crystal.

She aimed to refine the angel into her clone, using the puppet angel's power to gather more Divine Crystals.

Ye Bai sent his report up for the final review.

During this time, the steward informed Ye Bai he could leave the laboratory.

A gentle breeze brushed against Ye Bai's face, and it was then that he realized it was already late autumn.

Time really flies.

However, Ye Bai suddenly remembered something; he seemed to have never reported at Imperial University.

He had always been on assignments, oblivious to which class he was allocated to.

But he didn't dwell on it because, after all, he already had enough credits to redeem for a Ph.D. program.

If he wanted to, he could even graduate early and, like his teacher, become a lecturer at the school.

Before long, Ye Bai received a call instructing him to go directly to the underground laboratory.

Ye Bai had once summoned Demon God Thereelin in the underground laboratory.

With his Memory Palace, he could find his way to the underground laboratory even with his eyes closed.

When he arrived at the entrance of the underground laboratory, he found it heavily guarded.

Previously, he came as a somewhat renowned researcher; this time, he was here under the name of the Twenty-Eight Constellations.

After showing his credentials, Ye Bai was respectfully invited into the laboratory.

He noticed Xu Dog Zhang Dashan's master ancestor was also here, and Senior Jiao Mu Jiao too.

They were both looking at an ancient Demon Statue with extremely serious expressions.

"What on earth has happened?"

Ye Bai asked curiously.

"We discovered countless Demon Statues in a Secret Realm."

"We found that those Demon Statues were actually alive."

"So, we brought a few Demon Statues out."

"Currently, that Secret Realm has been sealed by us."

"And with Blue Star's elevation, it has begun to awaken."

"The life within the Demon Statues is reviving."

"We suspect that once Blue Star elevates to a stage capable of bearing demonic power, these demons will completely awaken."

Ye Bai was greatly shocked by what he heard and looked at the statue of the Six-armed Snake Demon.

The Six-armed Snake Demon had a towering figure and a thick tail.

Each of its six arms wielded different weapons, each weapon exuding a chilling murderous intent.

Merely observing the Six-armed Snake Demon from a close distance allowed one to feel its overwhelming murderous aura.

If this demon revived, it would undoubtedly become a god of slaughter.

"Master ancestor, senior, do you plan to destroy this massive demon army before they awaken?"

Ye Bai directly asked.

"We want to, but research shows it's utterly impossible."

"Because we have no clue about the source of this seal and how to break it."

"Moreover, even the weakest among these demons possesses Tier Seven strength. Imagine if this demon army descended upon Blue Star; every nation might be destroyed by them."

"This place will become akin to hell."

"Ye Bai, you have contact with Demon God; can you summon it to take a look at this seal?"

"Is there a way to destroy these Demon Statues in advance?"

Zhang Dashan spoke with urgency.

This demon army was like a ticking time bomb, ready to awaken at any moment.

"I'll give it a try, but I don't know if the Demon God would be willing to share."

"After all, they belong to the Abyss Camp."

Ye Bai thought it better to rely on the intelligence system rather than the Demon God sharing willingly.

"Master ancestor, could this alert the enemy?"

"We also can't rule out the possibility that the Demon God and these Demon Statues are in cahoots."

"What if my inquiry prompts them to act prematurely?"

Ye Bai's words were reasonable.

"Alright then, Ye Bai, figuring out the truth behind the Demon Statues will be assigned to you as an SSS-level task."

"Use every means necessary to uncover the truth about the Demon Statues."

"This is not a request, but an order. It's a matter concerning the survival of all humanity."

"You must take this seriously."

The master ancestor spoke with utmost seriousness.

Ye Bai nodded, understanding the urgency of the situation.

"Oh, and there's another thing I need to convey on behalf of Marshal Qilin."

"He wants you to train at the Qi Fortune Hall for a while."

"Master how to wield the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade."

"You've just reached Tier Seven, and there's still a gap in strength compared to the other Twenty-Eight Constellations."

"They can all skillfully master their soul artifacts."

"The Twenty-Eight Constellations represent the Qi of Flame Country; no mistakes can be allowed."

"Kuimu Wolf is also known as the White Tiger's Fang, the highest attack power among the Twenty-Eight Constellations."

"I don't want this soul artifact to be wasted in your hands."

Zhang Dashan finished speaking and took out something that looked like a token.

"This is the token for the Qi Fortune Hall. As long as you hold this token and channel the aura of the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade into it, you can instantly move to the Qi Fortune Hall."

"Marshal Qilin said, during this period, all your tasks are halted. The most important thing is to truly master the Beichen Celestial Wolf Blade and reinstate the might of the White Tiger Blade."

Zhang Dashan concluded and then left with Jiao Mu Jiao.

Ye Bai looked up at the Six-armed Snake Demon, a statue filled with a murderous aura.

He had the feeling that the Six-armed Snake Demon's gaze was fixed on him, moving as he moved.

As Ye Bai was about to get closer to probe for more basic information about the Six-armed Snake Demon, a skinny man in a lab coat approached.

"Hello, Kuimu Wolf, I'm the director of the underground laboratory."

"My name is Du Shukui."

"I'm pleased to meet you. I have a small problem here and hope you can help solve it."
