Chapter 509 The Shock of the Rock Spirit Giant Hound

Breaking through to the fifth rank is an extremely difficult hurdle for every extraordinary individual.

If one doesn't want to rely solely on luck, and one's own bloodline potential hasn't reached the legendary or even higher level, then what every fourth-tier commander-level extraordinary individual can do is slowly accumulate every power that helps increase the chances of breaking through.

Whether it's the extremely difficult awakening realm for a fourth-tier cultivator, the near impossibility of non-spiritual cultivators condensing a complete soul at the fourth tier, or finding rare natural treasures to enhance one's foundation and base.

The difficulty involved is simply too great.

Even if one awakens their domain and condenses a complete soul, breaking through to the fifth rank is not something that can be done in one or two attempts. If one is unlucky, it may take seven or eight attempts to succeed.

However, failing to break through to the fifth rank can damage one's very essence. Without the means or resources to restore it, one can only rely on a vast amount of time to slowly recover, which is difficult for most extraordinary individuals to accept, given their...
That's why even some geniuses who are already considered prodigies in the fourth rank don't dare to say that they can reliably break through to the fifth rank.

As the guardian of Bai Ling and Bai You, and also the bodyguard specially arranged by their mother, the Rock Spirit Giant Dog Da Huang naturally knew a lot about this, so he was well aware of the difficulties he faced in breaking through to the fifth rank.

Although he had already awakened his domain and reached the peak of the fourth rank, if he wanted to break through to the fifth rank, he would have to find some rare and precious materials that would help him break through, or he would have to gamble on luck.

But what's going on now? The master of the White Ghost Master and the White Spirit Master whom he protects actually told him that he has something that can quickly condense a complete soul, and even gave it to him. How could he not be shocked?

The giant rock spirit hound's mouth gaped open in astonishment. After a moment, it turned its gaze to the box Ye Mo had taken out and subconsciously asked, "Those...those things can really help me condense a complete soul?"

"Don't worry, as long as you absorb it all, you will definitely be able to condense a complete soul. We've already verified that," Ye Mo said with a smile.

"But...no, this is terrifying! Is this all there is? They don't seem to have anything special about them. How can they help to condense a complete soul?"

The Rock Spirit Giant Hound was still somewhat incredulous. It had put in a lot of effort to condense a complete soul, but it still hadn't been able to open the door.

"Don't worry, Dahuang. I've personally witnessed the effects of these potions and soul beads. They're definitely effective, so you can rest assured." Bai You, sitting on Ye Mo's shoulder, raised her head, her eyes sparkling, and said earnestly.

Bai Ling echoed her words a few times. Although she had never seen the effects of the Soul-Gathering Potion with her own eyes, she always trusted her Master and her sister without reservation.

After hearing these words, the Rock Spirit Giant Dog, Dahuang, finally accepted the purpose of the contents of the box in front of him. He was excited for a moment, but he still forced himself to turn his gaze to Ye Mo and the others, swallowed hard, and said, "I understand, but if those potions and soul beads are really that powerful, then it shouldn't be given to me."

“Master Youyou and Master Xiaobai are both at the fourth rank, just like me, and they have both awakened their domains. Compared to me, if they can absorb these things and condense a complete soul, their chances of breaking through to the fifth rank will definitely be higher.”

After he finished speaking, the Rock Spirit Giant Dog stared intently at Bai Ling and Bai You. As their guardian who had watched over them grow up before Ye Mo arrived, he regarded Bai Ling and Bai You as his own daughters, wanting to give them all the good things he could.

And what he said was not wrong. In terms of bloodline, he was indeed inferior to Bai Ling and Bai You, who possessed the bloodline of the Great Master. If they were to condense a complete soul and awaken a domain, Bai Ling and Bai You would indeed have a greater chance of breaking through than him.

At this moment, Ye Mo smiled helplessly. He could guess some of the Rock Spirit Giant's thoughts, and therefore he approved of it even more. After all, who would dislike such a loyal subordinate?

Thinking of this, Ye Mo reached out and stroked Bai You's fur, then looked up at the Rock Spirit Giant Dog and said, "Big Yellow, don't worry, I would never mistreat my spirit pets."

"The potions and soul beads I just gave you, while I don't have a lot of them, are more than enough for my spirit pets, including Xiaobai and Youyou."

As he spoke, Ye Mo took out another box of potions and soul beads from the contract space. Its internal structure and contents were almost exactly the same as the previous box.

Just as the Rock Spirit Giant Dog's eyes widened and it froze, Bai You delivered another heavy blow, unleashing her spiritual power without any concealment.

"What? This... Master Youyou, you've actually condensed a complete soul? No, it seems like you're still a little short." The Rock Spirit Giant Hound's eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock; the situation before him was so overwhelming that his heart could barely take it.

As someone with extensive experience, he could discern the level of Bai You's spiritual power the moment Bai You released it—it was truly only a tiny fraction of what was needed to condense a complete soul. He wouldn't be surprised if Bai You were to condense a complete soul soon.

After all, being able to go so far on the path of condensing the soul is almost no different from condensing a complete soul; it's just a matter of time anyway.

"Alright, hurry up and accept them. You are supposed to be the guardian of my sister and me, but you can't even beat us now. How can you protect us? So hurry up and accept those soul beads and potions, and absorb them as soon as possible to break through to the fifth rank."

Bai You's cool gaze fell upon the Rock Spirit Giant Hound. Although her words sounded somewhat icy, the underlying concern was quite evident. After all, as the guardian of her and her sister, the Rock Spirit Giant Hound was the closest person to her in this world besides Ye Mo and her Master.

Having said all that, the Rock Spirit Giant Dog, Big Yellow, naturally wouldn't refuse anymore. He cheerfully accepted the box full of Soul Beads and potions, glancing at it every now and then, his mind already racing with images of himself breaking through to the fifth rank.

Seeing the Rock Spirit Giant Hound's silly grin, Ye Mo shook his head and sighed. He then said, "Alright, give me the data on the situation in Qingxue Mountain Range during this period. Then find a place to properly absorb those potions and soul beads, condense a complete soul as soon as possible, and break through to the fifth rank."

"Mmm-hmm." The Rock Spirit Giant Dog nodded repeatedly, then took out several memory crystals and handed them all to Ye Mo. The information stored in those crystals was various information about the Azure Snow Mountain Range and its recent developments. Then, Bai Ling flew over to the Rock Spirit Giant Dog's side and chatted with it for a while. Afterward, the Rock Spirit Giant Dog put away the box and disappeared underground.

Although the Rock Spirit Giant Dog, at Bai Ling and Ye Mo's suggestion, had decided to absorb Soul Pearls and potions nearby to quickly condense a complete soul in preparation for breaking through to the fifth rank, as the leader of the Azure Snow Mountain Range, he actually had quite a few things to attend to. This departure was precisely to handle those matters and then request leave for cultivation and breakthrough.

"Now it's just us. After Da Huang finishes his business, he will start to condense his soul in preparation for his breakthrough. Although you can't condense your complete souls for the time being because you will be participating in the interdimensional war, there shouldn't be any problem in maximizing the progress of condensing your souls."

"So we'll rest here for a day and go to Grandpa's tomorrow." Ye Mo looked at his spirit pets with a smile in his eyes, and at the same time, he took out a series of soul-condensing potions specially made for Hanhan and the others from his contract space.

"Here, this is Hanhan's, this is Isaac's, this is Xiaoliu's, and these are Xiaobai's. Put them all away, and you can take and absorb them later."

Isaac bent down and used his mental power to pick up the Soul-Gathering Potions one by one. The simpleton beside him did the same, but with his skill [Gravity Control], it was even easier for him to pick them up.

As for Xiao Liu'er and Bai Ling, there's no need to say more. They are very small, one is about the size of a baby and the other is even smaller than a kitten. You don't have to worry about scratching them when you pick up the medicine.

However, to be fair, the container Ye Mo used to store the fifth-tier Xuanming Soul-Condensing Potion was extremely sturdy, made by Isaac himself. It could be said that even if an ordinary third-tier superhuman unleashed a full-force attack, they might not be able to break the potion.

After distributing the potions, Ye Mo, as he had just said, let the spirit pets go aside to absorb the potions, while he himself returned to the wooden house on the lake, took out the memory crystal that the Rock Spirit Giant Dog had given him, and began to check the situation of the Green Snow Mountain Range.

Although the Qin Xue Mountain Range has now been unified, the Qing Xue Mountain Range was never a place with abundant spiritual energy, nor did it have any high-level natural treasures. In addition, it was located next to Yan Huang.

Therefore, although the variety and number of monsters and demons in the entire Qingxue Mountain Range are quite large, only a handful are truly powerful, far fewer than those in the Burial Ground.

For example, there are only five fourth-order commander-level demonic beasts and monsters in the Qingxue Mountain Range that have awakened their domains. Among them, in addition to the Rock Spirit Giant Dog, which is the leader, there are three others who were captured in the past, namely the Black Wind Fang Boar and other demonic beasts and monsters that told Ye Mo and the others about the outside world.

The last one remaining was the leader of the Thunderous Purple Vulture clan, a demonic beast that had only recently awakened its domain. Ye Mo was quite familiar with it, since it and its clan had come to this world together from that secret realm, just like Bai Ling and Bai You.

Therefore, Ye Mo unconsciously felt a closer affinity towards the leader of the Thunderous Purple Vulture.

Of course, even if other demonic beast leaders awakened their domains, he wouldn't harbor any prejudice. After all, any subordinate who had signed a contract with him was a trustworthy individual.

Therefore, he decided to add all five of the four fourth-tier domain-level demonic beasts in the Qingxue Mountain Range to his breakthrough list.

This is quite normal. If their power grows in the future, those soul-condensing potions and soul beads might even be listed as rewards to incentivize their subordinates.

Even with the constraints of a transaction contract, all that can be guaranteed is their loyalty and that they will complete the assigned tasks. But that's just like being a diligent worker; whether they think of or do anything else beyond completing their tasks on time is up to them.

Therefore, if subordinates can be incentivized with clear benefits, their initiative can be brought into play, thereby making the entire force more active.

However, using Soul Beads and Soul Condensing Potions as rewards to motivate subordinates is not appropriate, at least not for the time being, or rather, it is not appropriate to use them on those fourth-tier domain-level demonic beasts.

After all, among his current fourth-tier subordinates at the domain level, apart from the Burial Grounds, the number of others, whether it be Pirate Bay, the Pirate Merchant Guild, the Sapphire Merchant Guild, or even the Azure Snow Mountain Range here, is actually not that many.

Compared to the number of Soul Beads produced in the Burial Grounds and the number of Soul Condensing Potions that can be created, there are far too few Domain-level Tier 4 beings capable of absorbing potions and Soul Beads.

Therefore, Ye Mo currently prioritizes supporting his fourth-tier Domain-level subordinates, providing them with ample Soul Beads and potions to help them condense complete souls.

After all, the Xuanming Soul Pearl is practically free for him now. The spiritual power and necromantic power required for its production process are not lacking at all, thanks to the countless undead in the Burial Ground.

The Soul Condensing Potion is the only expensive one. Even if the most important core material in the Soul Condensing Potion, the Soul Pearl, is free, the other secondary materials still cost a lot of money.

For example, a fourth-tier Ghost Spirit Soul-Gathering Potion costs around one million, excluding the Xuanming Ghost General Soul Pearl. Buying in bulk can make it a little cheaper, but not by much.

The fifth-tier Xuanming Soul-Gathering Potion costs over five million, excluding the Ghost King Soul Pearl. Even if purchased in bulk, it won't be much cheaper, since it's difficult to lower the price once the materials reach the fifth tier.

In this situation, if we rely solely on the soul beads of the Xuanming Ghost General and the Xuanming Ghost Commander, along with the two soul-condensing potions, even disregarding the value of the soul beads, the cost to elevate a fourth-tier Domain-level creature that has never begun to condense its soul to the point of condensing a complete soul would be at least twenty to thirty million.

Fortunately, once more subordinates break through to the fifth rank, the Burial Ground will be able to produce more Xuanming Ghost King Soul Pearls. If Xuanming Ghost King Soul Pearls are used to replace some of the potions, then helping a fourth-rank Domain-level cultivator condense a complete soul will probably only cost between five and ten million.

Furthermore, if he had a lot of Xuanming Ghost King Soul Pearls, he might be able to develop a fourth-order Soul Condensation Potion with Xuanming Ghost King Soul Pearls as the main material. Even if the effect was so ordinary that it was similar to directly absorbing the Ghost King Soul Pearls, as long as the potion and the Soul Pearls did not conflict, he could still save a lot of money.
