Chapter 1102

Four drops of Golden Blood. If Yang Kai relied on meditation and cultivation, he would have to meditate and cultivate for twelve months, that is, a full year, to transform these four drops of Golden Blood with the accumulated Saint Yuan.

The Divine Tree absorbed them clean in just a moment.

Just as Yang Kai was about to ask about the situation, the Divine Tree sent a message： “That… I seem to be going to sleep again.”

“What do you mean？” Yang Kai was shocked. He thought that perhaps the vitality contained in the Golden Blood was too strong and even the Divine Tree couldn’t bear it？

“This is a good thing. I think I will advance after waking up. Don’t worry. If you have time, take a look at those two pitch-black stones. They seem a bit off.” After saying this, the Divine Tree really fell asleep. No matter how Yang Kai called out, there was no response.

The Divine Tree can also advance？ Yang Kai’s expression was strange. But since it said so, it should be right. Yang Kai couldn’t help but look forward to it. He didn’t know what kind of changes would occur after the Divine Tree woke up again.

What concerned him now was the last sentence the Divine Tree said before falling asleep. It asked him to go and take a look at those two pitch-black stones.

Only then did Yang Kai remember that he hadn’t paid attention to those two strange pitch-black round stones for a very, very long time. Ever since spending a large amount of Saint Crystals to buy countless rare ores on Shuiyue Star as their nutrients, he had completely forgotten about these two pitch-black round stones.

Quickly immersing his mind, he probed within the Demon God’s Secret Manual.

After taking a look, Yang Kai was dumbfounded.

The mountain-like rare ores had now all disappeared. The essence in the ores had obviously been completely absorbed by those two pitch-black round stones, leaving only some impurities piled up in place. And within those impurities, a rather obvious vitality was transmitted out. Yang Kai even heard an extremely regular and extremely strong heartbeat sound.

What’s going on？

Yang Kai pushed aside those impurities and immediately saw two pitch-black round stones. These two stones were now somewhat different. Both stones exuded vigorous vitality, but only one of them emitted a heartbeat sound.

Is this thing alive？ Yang Kai was somewhat incredulous and quickly took out both pitch-black round stones and placed them in front of himself.

Looking at them carefully, he was soon shocked.

The pitch-black round stone that emitted a heartbeat was now slowly wriggling inside. It seemed that there was some living creature wrapped within. The clear lines on the surface of the round stone were as intricate as the meridians of a human body.

It looked like the bulging belly of a pregnant woman, and a new life was gestating in the belly！

The other one was not like this. It didn’t have the sound of a heartbeat, but the vitality it exuded was equally strong.

Yang Kai stared blankly, not knowing what to do for a while.

Although he had owned these two pitch-black round stones for many years, he still knew nothing about their secrets.

He immediately recalled what Ghost Ancestor had said to him on the Hanging Continent.

“Take good care of them. One day you will have a pleasant surprise.”

The Ghost Ancestor was a Void King Realm powerhouse who had lived for two thousand years and had seen much. He clearly knew what these two pitch-black round stones were. However, at that time, his relationship with Yang Kai was not harmonious, so he didn’t ask. The Ghost Ancestor also didn’t take the initiative to tell, so until now, Yang Kai was still completely confused about them.

The two pitch-black round stones were both brought over from the Tongxuan Continent. Since the Ghost Ancestor recognized them, it meant that they should originally be the products of the starry sky. It was just unknown why they would have ended up on the Tongxuan Continent. Now, was it the time for that surprise？

Yang Kai sat cross-legged on the spot, circulated his cultivation method, and paid attention to the movement on Yang Yan’s side with his mind while also paying attention to these two pitch-black round stones.

Time passed in a flash. More than ten days had passed.

The two pitch-black round stones didn’t have much change. Yang Kai waited very impatiently. He was extremely eager to know what kind of stuff was hidden in these two stones in the front of him. Whether there were really living things inside.

After thinking for a while, Yang Kai carefully squeezed out a drop of golden blood and dripped it on the round stone that sent out the sound of a heartbeat.

Since his golden blood contained huge vitality and life force and could even make the Divine Tree enter a dormant evolution state, there was no reason why it wouldn’t work on this pitch-black round stone.

As soon as the golden blood oat dripped in the sound of the heartbeat from the interior of the pitch-black round stone became much more intense. The golden blood seeped into it, making the entire round stone emit a violent golden glow.

Some obvious changes appeared on the round stone. The veins-like patterns on its surface bulged, as if there was something inside about to break out of its shell.

Yang Kai stared without blinking, not willing to miss even the slightest detail.

Crack…

A crisp sound came out, and Yang Kai couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

On the dark round stone, a small crack appeared. Soon the crack grew larger and spread quickly. In just the blink of an eye, the entire dark round stone split open from the middle, revealing the thing wrapped inside.

Yang Kai saw it and was instantly dumbfounded！

Although he already had some guesses in his heart, when he saw this scene in front of him, he was still stunned.

Inside the dark round stone, there was really a living thing! It was simply an egg, an egg that crazily absorbed the essence of minerals! Yang Kai had cultivated it for so many years, consuming countless rare minerals, and finally managed to cultivate the thing inside to break out of its shell.

At this moment, a gray thing was sitting in front of Yang Kai. It looked like a stone carving, exuding a simple and ancient luster all over. It had four limbs and a head, and there were clear facial features on its head.

It was clearly a stone man, a stone man only the size of a palm！

Just as Yang Kai was looking at it, it slowly stood up, looking very strenuous, staggering, and almost falling down again with a lurch.

Yang Kai was quick-eyed and quickly gave it a hand.

Its arms were extremely long, dragging all the way to the ground, its back was slightly hunched, its legs were bent, and its body was composed of exquisite stones looking angular and extremely layered. Although it had five sense organs, it looked simple-minded, and with its clumsy movements, it was as stupid as it could be.

Yang Kai was dumbfounded.

It turned its head blankly and looked around. When those gray eyes saw Yang Kai, they froze for a while.

Because it had absorbed a drop of Yang Kai’s golden blood, it seemed very curious about Yang Kai, and just like the Divine Tree, Yang Kai felt that there was an inseparable connection between himself and it.

After only looking for a while, it no longer paid attention to Yang Kai. Instead, it stretched out its two long arms, picked up the black stone shell on the ground, and put it into its mouth and chewed.

Seeing it eating with relish and making a crunching sound, Yang Kai groaned inwardly.

What on earth is this thing？

Although Yang Kai hadn’t tried it, he knew that the pitch-black stone shell was extremely hard. After all, it had absorbed the essence of minerals for so many years and gone through so many years of precipitation. Its defensive power was no less than that of a Void Grade defensive Secret Treasure, and perhaps even stronger.

But such a pitch-black stone shell was as fragile as tofu in the mouth of this little stone man.

Soon, those few pieces of pitch-black stone shell were eaten clean by it without a trace. After eating the stone shell, this little stone man seemed a bit tired. It staggered towards Yang Kai and climbed up his thigh.

Yang Kai wanted to test its ability, so he reached out and flicked it on the forehead.

The little stone man immediately became a rolling gourd and rolled a long way.

Yang Kai’s face turned dark. He thought to himself that he had cultivated it for so many years and consumed so many minerals, but he only raised such a thing？ Although it was hard enough, it seemed a bit vulnerable.

The little stone man stood up, shook its head, and walked towards Yang Kai again. With great difficulty, it came to Yang Kai’s side and continued to climb up his thigh.

Yang Kai couldn’t help but laugh and cry. This time, he didn’t flick it again and let it climb onto his body.

It didn’t care. It seemed that as long as it was on Yang Kai’s body, it was fine. It directly lay on its back, closed its eyes, and fell asleep.

Yang Kai looked at it, shook his head and sighed. He didn’t despise the little guy for being useless, but it was just a bit different from his original expectations. He thought he could get two pieces of fine minerals. Originally, he planned to keep cultivating like this. When the time came in the future, he would use those two black round stones to forge a Void King Grade Secret Treasure. Who would have known that a stone man would pop out.

This is a bit disappointing.

While looking, Yang Kai suddenly froze, and his gaze fixed on the chest of the little stone man, where a mass of dark red light flickered faintly.

He immediately plunged his mind into the Demon God Secret Code and searched carefully.

A moment later, Yang Kai withdrew his mind, with a strange expression on his face.

He finally understood why the two black round stones were a bit different. It was actually because of the Blood Essence Stone！

The Blood Essence Stone that he had always placed in the Demon God Secret Code was now at the heart of this little stone man, seemingly serving as its heart.

Yang Kai only had one Blood Essence Stone. Now that it was occupied by this little stone man, the other black round stone naturally wouldn’t transmit a heartbeat sound.

Yang Kai believed that there must also be a little stone man inside that black round stone, but without the Blood Essence Stone serving as the heart, it should not be able to break out of its shell.

Is there a relationship between the Blood Essence Stone and this thing？ Yang Kai became even more confused and couldn’t figure out any clue for a while.

Yang Yan was still refining that Void Grade defensive Secret Treasure. It seemed to have entered a crucial stage. The energy fluctuations from the cave were also much stronger than before. Yang Kai guarded outside and didn’t dare to disturb casually. However, he wasn’t bored at the moment either.

Ever since the little stone man appeared, he had been researching the secrets of this fellow.

Several days had passed, and the little guy didn’t seem to grow. Instead, it was very interested in the position where Yang Yan was. As soon as Yang Kai wasn’t paying attention, it would want to run over there, as if there was something attracting it there. Helplessly, Yang Kai could only give it the order not to approach the cave.

After several days of observation, Yang Kai also discovered a problem. Although this little stone man had traces of life and was a kind of living being, it didn’t have much thinking. It was not like the Divine Tree. Its intelligence was very low, and everything depended on instinct to act. Besides that, it was Yang Kai’s order.
