In an instant.

Roar!

Appearing in Qin Ming's mind once again was the overwhelmingly powerful Mountain Giant Ape.

However, this time its body expanded to a full thirty zhang tall, sprouting four arms.

The Mountain Giant Ape's eyes bore a spiral pattern, as if able to penetrate everything.

Countless illusions under its gaze shattered like bubbles of fantasy.

After three breaths, Qin Ming exited the Hundred Beasts Visualization, still immersed in the scene just now, utterly shocked.

Next, he needed to gather the Demon Beast Essence Blood again to complete the second transformation.

Feeling the surging True Qi Blood Spirit within him, Qin Ming's confidence soared, now feeling that regardless of who approached him for close combat, they would shatter upon contact.

At this moment, he was akin to a late-stage Foundation Establishment Great Demon, with unparalleled physical prowess, exuding terrifying power with every move.

"Why does the more I cultivate this 'Hundred Treasures Glaze Scripture,' the less it resembles a Human Race Technique?"

Qin Ming pulled out that Beast Hide Scripture, repeatedly examining the tadpole-like seal script on it.

After accumulating countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, Qin Ming's physical strength far surpassed other body refining cultivators of the same stage.

After completing his cultivation, Qin Ming's power greatly increased.

He then got up and went to the lakeside, sending a command to the Profound Water Crocodile with a thought.

Moments later.

The massive body of the Profound Water Crocodile surfaced, crawling towards him.

As Qin Ming sensed its aura, he discovered that after consuming the Dragon Blood Divine Fruit, its cultivation had also significantly increased.

While observing the Profound Water Crocodile, Qin Ming was surprised to find its aura somewhat abnormal.

The scale armor on its back had more bloody spirit patterns.

After communicating with the Profound Water Crocodile, Qin Ming was delighted to discover that its original Earth-Grade Bloodline Talent had seen a sizable enhancement.

"It seems this Dragon Blood Divine Fruit contains a trace of Qi of the Flood Dragon Bloodline, which is even more effective for Demon Beasts, actually further enhancing their bloodline talent."

Having gained many benefits from Qin Ming, the Profound Water Crocodile was particularly docile around him, not resisting regardless of how he manipulated it.

After thinking for a while, Qin Ming rested his chin on his hand, contemplating before finally deciding, "In that case, I'll give you a few more divine fruits to see if you can break through to Celestial-Grade Bloodline."

"If you fail, then I'll cook you into soup."

The Profound Water Crocodile was initially excited to hear it would get more Dragon Blood Divine Fruits, but upon hearing the latter half, it couldn't help but recoil...

Later, Qin Ming went to his Lifebound Spirit Plant Longevity Vine, summoning the Silver-winged Frost Bees from the hive, discovering that their bloodline grade had advanced from Low-Grade Bloodline to Middle-Grade Bloodline.

Qin Ming instantly became elated.

"It seems this Dragon Blood Divine Fruit offers tremendous enhancement to my spirit pets!"

"Although it can't directly increase their cultivation, it can elevate their future potential."

Realizing this, Qin Ming made up his mind and used a Leaf of Space-Time entry to ripen another batch of Dragon Blood Divine Fruits.

He then used the Quality Enhancement entry to upgrade the quality of the Dragon Blood Divine Fruits to a high-grade level.

The concentration of the Flood Dragon Bloodline Qi contained within further increased.

At the same time, two golden entries refreshed among the eighteen Dragon Blood Divine Fruits:

[Name]: Dragon Blood Divine Fruit[Entry]: Qi Blood Crystal X5 (Maturation 98%)

[Name]: Dragon Blood Divine Fruit[Entry]: Regenerative Spirit Seed X5 (Maturation 96%)

A little over half a day later, Qin Ming harvested eighteen high-grade level Dragon Blood Divine Fruits and two entries again.

Qin Ming kept six for himself, as he realized after consuming over a dozen previously that no matter how good something is, overconsumption diminishes its effects.

He then summoned his two spirit beasts, giving each six high-grade Dragon Blood Divine Fruits.

The Profound Water Crocodile and Silver-winged Frost Bees, benefitting greatly, broke through once more.

...

After tending to his beast pets.

Qin Ming arrived at the cottage by Wu Jiang Lake.

He stood by the lake, gazing at the calm surface, saying softly, "Unknowingly, more than half a year has passed."

Wu Jiang beside him was brewing Spirit-Gathering Tea, smiling broadly.

During this time, Qin Ming also sent Wu Jiang out several times to gather information.

Aunt Long from the Mirror Snow Pavilion occasionally sent back some upper-level information too.

With the Zhao Family's downfall, the Spiritual Habitat Cultivation Realm on Spirit Nest Islands began to settle down considerably.

"Has there been any news of the Double-Pupil Demon Ape recently?" Qin Ming asked.

Wu Jiang stirred the coal fire in the stove and replied, "Isle Master Qin, I was just about to tell you that foul creature was repelled by Master Vast Sea from Vast Sea Immortal City and retreated to the Beast Roar Mountain Range. It shouldn't appear for a while."

"Ah! Speaking of, that beast is truly terrifying. If Master Vast Sea hadn't intervened in the end, no one could have dealt with it."

"Indeed, after the Loose Alliance returned to aid, the two Fake Pill Ancestors struggled against that demon ape and both ended up severely injured, which speaks volumes about its formidable strength." Qin Ming nodded, clicking his tongue in amazement.

Recalling something, Wu Jiang continued, "That Double-Pupil Demon Ape is already so fearsome at Foundation Establishment Perfection. If it were to advance to Tier Three Demon King, the Spiritual Habitat Cultivation Realm would be plunged into chaos."

"Don't worry, it won't break through to Tier Three for a long while. Demon Beasts face tremendous difficulty with each advancement, far more than our Human Race." Qin Ming said confidently.

"The Tier Three Thunder Tribulation is no joke either. The demon ape won't attempt a breakthrough without complete assurance." Wu Jiang nodded, realizing the truth behind his words since Qin Ming currently had two Foundation Establishment Great Demons.

On the island, he'd witnessed the dreadful heavenly tribulations twice.

With the departure of the Double-Pupil Demon Ape, a huge weight lifted from Qin Ming's heart.

He then asked, "What's the situation at Qianye Spirit Island? And the remnants of the Zhao Family?"

"After the Loose Alliance captured Qianye Spirit Island, it seems they plan to divide the spoils with Thunder Origin Sect," Wu Jiang replied.

"However, the involvement of a Tier Three Spirit Vein has held up any decision."

"As for the Zhao Family, they've completely fallen. Apparently, they sought refuge with the Spirit Feather Sect. With everyone on Spirit Nest Islands after them, they have no other place to go."

Moreover, through the Mirror Snow Pavilion's channels, Qin Ming learned that the Spirit Feather Sect, having suffered a great loss from this battle, won't let things slide easily. A bigger conflict is surely on the horizon.

...

Half a month later.

Qin Ming returned to the Profound Water Crocodile, discovering its aura had fundamentally transformed, exuding a dominating presence among beasts.

"Celestial-Grade Bloodline Talent!"

After a brief investigation, Qin Ming's face lit up with joy.

"Great!"

"My efforts in nurturing you weren't in vain."

He heartily patted the giant head of the Profound Water Crocodile, acknowledging that it now had the potential to advance to a Tier Three Demon King.

The Profound Water Crocodile, feeling its own drastic changes, excitedly let out a cry.

Diligently, it carried Qin Ming for a grand tour around Wangyue Lake.

On the other side.

Due to the Dragon Blood Divine Fruits, the bloodline talent of the Silver-winged Frost Bees had also been boosted to High-Grade Bloodline.
