Upon completing the second sub-item task, Ye Feng was thrilled.
It had been only a month since he crushed the Meat Mountain Monster with a single step.
Yet the total population of Whitefloat City had already surged by more than a million.
Even the Prestige Points had now grown to over fifty million!
This number did not surprise Ye Feng too much.
The population of the entire Southern River Basin exceeded ten billion, and at the current stage, the conversion rate was not even one percent.
Ye Feng even felt that the pace was too slow.
He sat on the recliner, stretched out his hand, and a Lucky Bag surrounded by a nine-colored halo appeared in his palm.
This was the reward after Whitefloat City's population exceeded three million.
"Ding, congratulations to the Sect Master for obtaining an Origin of Slaughter Energy, which can be used to transform the Wind Spirit Pearl."
The Lucky Bag dissipated, turning into a dark gold halo.
This was the Origin of Slaughter Energy.
"Well, this is the second time I've obtained an Origin; the last time was the Power of World Remodeling, and now it's the Slaughter Energy, both seemingly tailored for me," Ye Feng said with delight.
He took out the Wind Spirit Pearl and fused it with this Origin of Slaughter Energy, prompting it to begin its transformation.
This time, dark clouds slowly shrouded the whole Misty Sect.
Everyone looked up and could feel a sharp aura brewing in the sky, which sent chills down their spines.
Between heaven and earth, the muffled sound of thunder erupted.
People looked towards the summit of Misty Peak.
"It must be Sect Master refining a Spiritual Treasure," someone speculated.
"I think it's possible," others nodded in agreement.
The fusion process of the Wind Spirit Pearl was also slow this time.
During this period, strong winds howled, attracting the Evil Qi drifting between heaven and earth, forming a massive black vortex with a diameter spanning dozens of miles.
This scene once again caused a sensation.
When the Sect Leaders of the major Sects heard about the gathering of Evil Qi, they were so scared they almost sat down on the ground.
"Everyone, no need to worry, it is Sect Master Ye devouring the Evil Qi!"
The Four Great Divine Origin Realms soon relayed this message, stabilizing the public's emotions.
"They say that when Sect Master Ye suppressed the Meat Mountain Monster, it was by using Divine Skills to devour the Evil Qi that he suppressed it."
"Do you think, after Sect Master Ye absorbs too much Evil Qi, he will turn into a monster?"
"Probably not, right?"
"If that was the case, all of us combined in the Southern River Basin wouldn't stand a chance against him!"
"May the Jiaoyang Ancient Saint bless us, let's hope Sect Master Ye does not become possessed by evil spirits!"
The people of the Southern River Basin all prayed fervently.
Ye Feng was unaware of what everyone was thinking.
Right now, he could feel that the total amount of Evil Qi in the sky was increasing, and his mood gradually brightened.
"The battle with the Heaven-Devouring Demon Sect barely brought my total Slaughter Energy to the level of the Divine Origin Realm, but there was still too much scattering in the world, making absorption too troublesome."
"But now, with this Origin of Slaughter Energy as a guide, Evil Qi from most of the Southern River Basin is coming my way."
"Wonder if the Wind Spirit Pearl can be promoted to a Middle Grade Spiritual Treasure."
Ye Feng was full of anticipation.
Spiritual Treasures are categorized as Lower Grade, Middle Grade, Upper Grade, and Supreme Grade, suitable for Divine Origin Realm and Void Break Realm cultivators.
Under normal circumstances, Divine Origin Realm cultivators can only use Lower and Middle Grade Spiritual Treasures, unless they come from a Holy Land or belong to Five-Star Forces, otherwise, it is difficult for them to have access to Upper Grade Spiritual Treasures at this Realm.
Upper Grade and Supreme Grade are naturally the standard for the Void Break Realm.
In the entire Southern River Basin, only Ye Feng currently possessed two Lower Grade Spiritual Treasures, the Wind Spirit Pearl and the Star Palace.
Looking over the entire Mystique Kingdom, the total number of Spiritual Treasures doesn't exceed twenty.
The strongest Spiritual Treasure is the personal treasure of Ancestor Lingmiao, which had just been upgraded to the Upper Grade level.
"If the Wind Spirit Pearl becomes a Middle-Grade Spiritual Treasure, my strength would definitely surge significantly."
"Even without using "Seven Steps to Heaven", in a normal state, I could contend with a mid-level Divine Origin Realm fighter."
Ye Feng murmured to himself.
The vortex of Evil Qi in the sky began to erupt.
It was like a gigantic funnel, continuously spinning and shrinking downwards, until all of it was refined by the Slaughter Energy and then merged into the Wind Spirit Pearl.
From then on, the Wind Spirit Pearl began to transform.
In a faint sense, it took on a hint of dark gold, like an elevation of the Slaughter Energy.
The metamorphosis was very slow.
Ye Feng waited for three days and three nights, and only then had all the Evil Qi been transformed into Slaughter Energy, which, like the Heroic Spirit Power, fused into the Wind Spirit Pearl.
Watching the Wind Spirit Pearl suspended in the air, Ye Feng smiled.
Immediately afterward, a flood of information poured into his mind.
