Among Qi Ping’s current animal companions, the ones at the highest realm right now are the Stone Spirit and Yaya. They have both reached the Tier Two Perfection stage, and due to their powerful bloodlines, their combat abilities are exceptionally strong.
Especially Yaya, with the magic knowledge provided by Qi Ping, its utilization and development of bloodline power is far superior to that of ordinary Golden Flame Crows.
However, to break through to Tier Three, it still needs considerable time to accumulate and continue to develop its bloodline power.
Next is the Little Flower Demon, whose current realm is in the late stage of Tier Two, not far from Tier Two Perfection. With its terrifying and bizarre divine soul talent, it is, in fact, the most likely among Qi Ping’s animal companions to threaten a Golden Core Cultivator.
Moreover, if Qi Ping wasn’t currently focusing all his energy on cultivating the Spirit Wood, the Little Flower Demon might have already broken through to Tier Two Perfection.
Then there are the Golden Marrow Bee King, Little Fox, Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger, and Three-colored Deer, all of which have broken through to mid-Tier Two.
Among them, the Golden Marrow Bee King, after consuming royal jelly brewed from the Essence of the Sun, Essence of the Moon, Star Essence, and Nether Moon Heart, has strengthened its bloodline power, physical body, and divine soul foundation, showing signs of breakthrough and transformation.
The body began to emanate a special power of the Sun, Moon, Stars, and Nether Moon, greatly exciting Qi Ping!
This is, for the first time, the Golden Marrow Bee has begun to advance based on its own foundation after following Qi Ping for so long!
Therefore, Qi Ping is very much looking forward to it; from the current state, the Golden Marrow Bee King’s transformation is likely to bring unexpected surprises!
Once the Golden Marrow Bee King completes a special transformation, the overall bloodline power of the swarm will inevitably surge again!
At that point, the probability of the swarm successfully devouring the Demon Insect King’s bloodline will certainly increase once more.
Previously, Qi Ping refrained from allowing the swarm to achieve self-transformation by devouring a large number of spiritual medicines, mainly because the consumption of resources was too immense and the success rate lower, not as cost-effective as refining the Metamorphosis Potion.
Only the Golden Marrow Bee King was worth stacking with a large number of rare spiritual medicines by Qi Ping.
Fortunately, after cultivating the Golden Marrow Bee King for so long, it is finally about to undergo its first transformation!
And it should be an extremely extraordinary transformation!
After the Golden Marrow Bee King, the next fastest to potentially undergo transformation is the Three-colored Deer.
Because the Three-colored Deer inherently has the bloodline of the Child of the Forest, and Qi Ping has now planted a large number of spiritual medicines in his territory, these rare spirit woods are the best environment for the Three-colored Deer.
Coupled with the various honeys and spiritual medicines provided by Qi Ping, its current bloodline power is becoming increasingly strong.
Qi Ping estimates that once the Golden Marrow Bee King completes its transformation, the Three-colored Deer should also welcome its first advancement.
And once the Three-colored Deer completes its advancement, the comprehension of Qi Ping’s Three-Colored Spirit will also increase simultaneously. It’s important to note that the comprehension talent of the Nine-colored Deer ranks among the top among all Divine Beasts, so Qi Ping places great importance on this talent as well.
The last animal companion is the Profound Cyan Snake, the latest contracted companion of Qi Ping. Due to the special talent of the Profound Cyan Snake, Qi Ping has high expectations for it, so its breakthrough speed is currently not fast, only reaching Tier One Perfection.
But speaking of the combat power of the Little Cyan Snake, Qi Ping is certain that it is the most powerful among his animal companions when at Tier One, even surpassing Qi Ping himself, with a terrifyingly strong foundation!
The growth potential of the Profound Cyan Snake is truly very high.
Then, there’s the Little Stone Spirit currently undergoing a transformation process right before Qi Ping’s eyes.
However, upon sensing the Little Stone Spirit’s sign of breaking through to Tier Three, Qi Ping did not become too excited. Instead, his expression changed suddenly!
"Suppress the rank breakthrough! Transfer all power to the growth of the bloodline!"
Qi Ping hadn’t expected the Little Stone Spirit’s bloodline transformation and rank breakthrough to arrive simultaneously, not even caring about the potential impact of speaking out!
The Little Stone Spirit breaking through to Tier Three would generally be a good thing, but absolutely not at this time and place!
Because breaking through to become a Tier Three Spirit Beast would attract a Celestial Tribulation!
Once the Celestial Tribulation descends, with tribulation clouds spreading across the sky, it will inevitably attract the attention of countless cultivators! The Cyan Origin Sect would not allow a Golden Core Cultivator to break through on their territory and would definitely send people to investigate!
At that time, if strong cultivators of Golden Core or even Nascent Soul Stage were attracted, Qi Ping’s territory would be in jeopardy, and that would truly be disastrous!
Fortunately, upon hearing Qi Ping’s words, the Little Stone Spirit immediately followed his instructions, transferring all its power to the transformation of its bloodline, while suppressing the restless shackles of its realm.
Qi Ping finally relaxed only after watching the Tier Three aura on the Little Stone Spirit gradually disappear.
"Clearly, if the Little Stone Spirit breaks through, it could possess Golden Core level power, but the risk brought by the Celestial Tribulation is just too great..."
Thinking of this makes Qi Ping uneasy, but from breaking through to the Golden Core, each realm comes with a Celestial Tribulation, which is an unavoidable event for anyone.
"It seems I will need to set up the Yin Yang Heaven Extinction Array quickly. With a formation capable of handling Golden Core Cultivators, along with the Natural Perception and the calculations of the Cloud Dream Immortal Tiger, we can choose the most suitable time and place for the Little Stone Spirit to break through smoothly..."
"And if the plan of Starfall City’s massacre and slaying of Golden Core goes smoothly, perhaps we can take advantage of the Cyan Origin Sect’s attention being entirely diverted to secretly break through..."
This would further increase the probability of the Little Stone Spirit successfully passing through the Celestial Tribulation.
This is also another reason why many cultivators in the Immortal Cultivation Realm find it difficult to grow, as the spread of Celestial Tribulation power is vast, and the time taken to cross it is lengthy, easily attracting other cultivators’ attention and thereby bringing many unforeseen dangers.
So many loose cultivators and even sect cultivators will proactively venture into perilous realms during their tribulation, because, to some extent, the dangers from peers during tribulation can be scarier than some perilous realms.
"Let’s wait a bit; anyhow, the Little Stone Spirit’s foundation has reached this point, ready to trigger the Celestial Tribulation for breaking through to Tier Three at any time, so it doesn’t hurt to wait a bit longer..."
Right now is the critical moment as Qi Ping begins to gradually approach the top power within the Cyan Origin Realm, also the riskiest moment, so every step must be taken with caution, for encountering an accident at this juncture is something Qi Ping absolutely cannot afford.
And after fully suppressing its power to break through to Tier Three, the intensity and strength of the Little Stone Spirit’s bloodline transformation surprisingly increased by another level!
A very special Power of Warfare began to emerge on the Little Stone Spirit!
"This power fluctuation is even more terrifying than when Yaya was transforming!"
This greatly surprised Qi Ping, who hurriedly cast a Potential Activation on the Little Stone Spirit!
After the magic descended, the Little Stone Spirit’s Power of Warfare surged once again!
