If I let you lie low and remain the Dragon King, would you have unified the primordial world?

Chapter 116 Holy Embryo Advancement, Mid-stage Great Luo!

The Spider Queen obeyed Ao Bai's every word. After this tender moment, she devoted everything to Ao Bai.

"Your Highness, why don't I go with you to seek opportunities, so I can lend a hand? I can cultivate after we return."

The Spider Queen had completely become Ao Bai's woman, so she always put Ao Bai's interests first.

Ao Bai shook his head and smiled, saying:

"After Yin and Yang are harmonized, our cultivation levels will both improve. This is the best time for you to transform your bloodline. You can cultivate here; I can handle it."

Ao Bai was quite considerate; the Spider Queen's primordial yin had already merged with Ao Bai's primordial yang, and she did indeed need to rest.

The Spider Queen smiled sweetly and let go of her obsession.

Ao Bai always plans carefully before acting. Since he dared to go alone, it means he was somewhat confident.

"I'll come back to find you when I return."

Ao Bai's words immediately made the Spider Queen blush deeply, her face flushed with shyness.

After this yin-yang union, Ao Bai's yang energy and yin energy combined, showing signs of yin-yang unity.

It was this mysterious change that made Ao Bai sense it and perceive a glimmer of opportunity in the Antarctic.

"Water and fire intertwine, yin and yang harmonize; the Antarctic region belongs to the element of fire in the Five Elements theory. Could it be the power of fire this time?"

Ao Bai was filled with anticipation. He quickly arrived in Antarctica, but did not approach the territory controlled by the Antarctic Saint.

The Phoenix Clan and the Dragon Clan are inherently at odds. If Ao Bai's whereabouts are discovered by the Antarctic Saint King, he might take action.

Even though Ao Bai was a subordinate of the Eastern Saint King, he was unwilling to gamble with his own life.

Fortunately, the opportunity that Ao Bai sensed was outside the sphere of influence of the Antarctic Saint King.

"It seems most likely to be the power of fire!"

Ao Bai had now made his decision; he had arrived in Antarctica and soon found himself in a huge lava river.

The opportunity he sensed was deep within this lava river.

Ao Bai entered without hesitation. He walked forward, feeling uncomfortable due to the intense heat around him, but he had no intention of stopping.

"Just how hot is it here that even my Golden Immortal-level body is feeling uncomfortable?"

Ao Bai sighed, realizing that he had already ventured deep into the lava river and was continuing to dive downwards.

As he moved forward, the temperature below rose sharply.

"No, this place... could it be inside the Earth's core?"

Ao Bai was extremely shocked. He knew that the Earth's core existed, but no living being could easily enter it.

There is a mysterious force protecting that place deep within the earth; it is one of the core areas of the primordial world, and it is impossible for living beings to approach it easily.

Now, Ao Bai is slowly approaching the Earth's core through the lava river. The surrounding temperature is already terrifying, so Ao Bai has no choice but to make use of the Holy Embryo of Merit, using his strength at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal to protect himself.

Under the protection of the Holy Embryo of Merit, Ao Bai was able to continue his journey.

"The lava river is getting wider and wider. Could it be that there's a world of lava below?"

Looking at the blinding white light below, Ao Bai felt uneasy.

Even with his strength as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, getting this far was already extremely difficult. If he were to continue further, he probably wouldn't be able to keep going.

Just as Ao Bai was hesitating, that attraction began to grow stronger.

"It really is here!"

Ao Bai cheered and immediately followed his senses.

The sensation grew stronger and stronger, and once they arrived at this place, Ao Bai could already see the dazzling divine light.

"Is this light formed from the power of fire?"

Ao Bai saw that deep underground, endless flames gathered together and condensed into a lotus of flames, which spun and danced in the air.

The flaming lotus materialized from firelight; it was the essence of fire and a collection of light.

The terrifying heat permeated all directions; the fiery lotus carried a terrifying temperature that even a Great Luo Golden Immortal could not withstand.

Ao Bai was amazed. Such a Flaming Immortal Lotus could severely injure an enemy if taken out directly, not to mention that its power would definitely increase many times over after being refined.

"Try using my merit-based sacred embryo."

At this moment, Ao Bai controlled the Holy Embryo of Merit to step forward, while he hid to the side to observe the situation.

The Holy Embryo of Merit was originally an inanimate object, similar to a spiritual treasure. Now, it was being controlled by Ao Bai and quickly approached the Fiery Immortal Lotus.

The Fiery Lotus was enveloped by the Holy Embryo of Merit and quickly merged into its body.

The terrifying power of the flames began to take effect, continuously scorching the sacred embryo of merit.

Streams of flames shot into the sky, illuminating the entire Holy Embryo of Merit in a fiery red hue.

"boom!"

Terrifying divine flames erupted from the nine orifices of the Holy Embryo of Merit, as if it had transformed into a spirit of fire, completely turning the originally golden Holy Embryo of Merit into the color of flames.

Ao Bai could sense that the fiery lotus was being devoured by the holy embryo of merit, or rather, they were merging together.

"The Seven Sacred Fires of the Earth's Core"

"This flame can actually grow continuously. It is already at the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. If it continues to improve, it may reach an even more terrifying level."

Ao Bai sensed some information from the fusion: the Seven Sacred Flames of the Earth's Core were indeed very special; they could absorb the power of the surrounding flames and grow stronger.

Its current power at the Great Luo Golden Immortal level is the result of its gradual growth.

At this moment, the Holy Embryo of Merit and the Seven Sacred Flames of the Earth's Core merged together. The power of the Flaming Immortal Lotus was indeed too violent, even showing a tendency to "take over" and occupy an absolute dominant position in the Holy Embryo of Merit.

However, at this moment, the Three Lights Divine Water also began to exert its power, contending with the Seven Sacred Fires of the Earth's Core, and trying to restrain its power.

Unfortunately, the power of the Three Lights Divine Water was too weak to withstand the opponent and was quickly suppressed, failing to play a significant role.

"If this continues, the Holy Embryo of Merit will probably turn into the Holy Embryo of Flame. It seems I must do something."

Ao Bai immediately communicated with the Holy Embryo of Merit, and his divine sense entered it. Instantly, he felt a burning pain as if his body were being consumed by flames.

Ao Bai held his breath and concentrated, using the "Ren Shui Xian Jing" to alleviate the situation.

He circulated the "Ren Water Immortal Scripture," and streams of Ren Water power began to emerge, flowing through the nine orifices of the Sacred Embryo and into Ao Bai's body.

"We must leave here."

As Ao Bai circulated the "Ren Shui Immortal Scripture," he left the place, intending to return to the South China Sea.

This place hasn't truly reached the Earth's core yet, but the terrifyingly high temperatures around it have already deterred most living beings from arriving.

The weak would probably have been burned to ashes long before they even got here.

As a water-attribute cultivation technique, the essence of Ren water produced by the "Ren Water Immortal Scripture" effectively blocked the power of flames.

The power of Ren water absorbs the power of the seven sacred fires at the earth's core, cleverly achieving a balance between water and fire.

The condition of the Holy Embryo gradually improved, and its temperature began to drop.

"At least it didn't melt."

Ao Bai felt relieved. The Holy Embryo of Merit had indeed felt like it was about to melt, a scene that had worried Ao Bai greatly.

Now that they have moved away from the lava river and returned to the sea, the condition of the Holy Embryo is gradually stabilizing.

"Why not go to the Southern Sea? The temperature there is extremely cold, which is conducive to stabilizing the condition of the Holy Embryo."

Ao Bai left the Antarctic and came to the Southern Sea.

The area was frozen solid for thousands of miles, and the weather was freezing cold. When the Holy Embryo of Merit arrived, it immediately melted the ice and snow, and the extremely cold waters of the Southern Sea began to boil rapidly.

The vast, icy seas were boiling, and heat waves surged between heaven and earth, obscuring the entire Southern Sea.

This strange situation had never occurred before in the Southern Sea, which greatly surprised countless creatures in the Southern Sea.

"What happened? My Southern Sea is frozen solid for thousands of miles, and is in an extremely cold environment all year round. Why is the sea boiling and the temperature soaring?"

"The ice over the vast ocean has melted, the Southern Sea is boiling, and the sky is shrouded in mist. Something big is about to happen."

The creatures of the Southern Sea were utterly shocked, none of them knowing what had happened.

How could they have imagined that what shocked so many living beings was merely that Ao Bai had leaked some of the heat from the Holy Embryo of Merit here?

After arriving at the Southern Sea, the condition of the Holy Embryo of Merit stabilized completely, the power of water and fire merged, and Ao Bai successfully took control of the situation.

At this moment, the Holy Embryo of Merit slowly recovered, and its golden radiance became dazzling once again.

At the same time, a crimson glow of flame disappeared within, making this holy light of merit even more colorful and wondrous.

Ao Bai's "Ren Shui Immortal Scripture" also circulated smoothly in the Holy Embryo of Merit, but all the gains from cultivation returned to Ao Bai's body.

"Using the 'Ren Shui Immortal Scripture' through the 'Holy Embryo of Merit' can actually accelerate the cultivation speed; this is an unexpected discovery."

Ao Bai continued to adjust and further integrate the Seven Sacred Flames of the Earth's Core, and the Flame Immortal Lotus was gradually assimilated as well.

The power of flames spread, nourishing the sacred embryo of merit.

At the same time, the five elements of fire were replenished, and the power of the Holy Embryo of Merit began to surge once again.

Water, fire, light, and merit—the four elements are all integrated into the Holy Embryo of Merit, making it even more wondrous.

"boom!"

The nine orifices of the Holy Embryo of Merit were frantically attracting spiritual energy, and the Flaming Lotus had been completely assimilated. At this moment, the shape of a lotus flame appeared on the "forehead" of the Holy Embryo of Merit.

At this moment, the Holy Embryo of Merit successfully transformed and gained the strength of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Like the Seven Sacred Flames of the Earth's Core, this Holy Embryo of Merit can also grow.

Now that it possesses the strength of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal, it will be a great help to Ao Bai.

Even if he were to fight against the Three Pure Ones or the Twelve Ancestral Witches in the future, Ao Bai would finally have enough confidence and strength.

"A mid-stage Grand Luo Golden Immortal, truly impressive!"

Ao Bai was overjoyed; all the pain he had endured was worth it.

Being able to advance to the mid-stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm clearly made Ao Bai very satisfied.

Only after reaching this level did Ao Bai truly possess the ability to confront the first tier of beings in the primordial world.

"Return to the South China Sea."

Ao Bai directly merged into the Holy Embryo of Merit, and his speed was much faster than before. After this flight, he quickly returned to the South China Sea.

The merit-based holy embryo of a mid-stage Great Luo Golden Immortal has far surpassed its previous speed and combat power.

Ao Bai returned, and this time he stayed in the lava river for more than a thousand years.

In the South China Sea, at Ao Bai's base.

The Spider Queen's aura changed drastically, and her appearance became even more captivating than before.

With a wasp waist and full hips, she was graceful and shapely, a sight to behold.

Especially her demeanor, which is completely different from before.

The current Spider Queen possesses a regal bearing; she is noble, elegant, and refined.

The performance, which perfectly blended beauty and nobility, gave her a feeling of being reborn.

This time, she consumed seven Blood Refining Divine Pills, and her bloodline successfully underwent two transformations.

This greatly enhanced the bloodline power of the Spider Queen, transforming her from the Five-Colored Spider Queen into the Jade Spider Queen, and finally into the Nine Heavens Immortal Spirit Spider Queen.

The advancement of her bloodline has greatly enhanced the Spider Queen's strength and potential. Her current aptitude is comparable to that of the top female immortals.

The Spider Queen was already quite talented, and her two consecutive transformations gave her the resources to rise to power.

Ao Bai returns, and the Spider Queen is already waiting for her.

"Your Highness!"

The Spider Queen's eyes sparkled with tenderness and affection.

Ao Bai was in a great mood, and he stepped forward to put his arm around the Spider Queen's slender waist.

"Congratulations on your bloodline transformation. It seems that breaking through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in the future will not be a problem."

Ao Bai could clearly sense the changes in the Spider Queen's bloodline, which made her the second most powerful being in the entire Water Palace, after Ao Feng and Ao Bai.

Her bloodline power surpasses that of the Bai Ze clan leader.

"Your Highness, my achievements today are all thanks to Your Highness."

The Spider Queen was extremely grateful to Ao Bai, knowing that she was the reason she was where she was today.

If it weren't for Ao Bai's help, she would have had a very difficult time getting to this point.

"Then I'll give you another hand and help you get promoted as soon as possible."

Ao Bai smiled, then carried the Spider Queen and disappeared into the main hall.

With the Nine Heavens Immortal Spider Queen's bloodline advancing, it's not impossible for her to break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

Ao Bai still has Breakthrough Pills in his possession. If he fully cultivates the Nine Heavens Immortal Spider, its strength will inevitably increase significantly.

Now that the Nine Heavens Immortal Spider Queen is Ao Bai's woman, she is completely obedient to him and follows his every word. It is no problem for Ao Bai to train her.

Although Ao Bai's side was not weak, their high-end combat capabilities were still far inferior.

Currently, only Ao Feng, Clan Chief Bai Ze, and Ao Bai possess the strength to rival a Grand Luo Golden Immortal.

Others, such as the Nine Heavens Immortal Spider Queen, Xuanwu, Bai Ying, and Bai Wu, are all at the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, but they are still some distance from the Daluo Golden Immortal realm.

If Ao Bai wants to lead his subordinates to rise to power and even have the strength to contend with the Wu Clan, then he must cultivate some powerful subordinates.

The Nine Heavens Immortal Spider Queen was clearly the first one Ao Bai intended to cultivate. As Ao Bai's woman, he would naturally not mistreat her.

The two entered the main hall, and it was unclear what they were doing.

However, at this moment, in the boundless sea of ​​blood, the Styx Ancestor was already prepared. They had successfully driven away the Mosquito Taoist, and their next step was to attack Ao Bai and Ao Feng.

"This time, on our trip to the South China Sea, we must wipe out Ao Bai and his men!"

The Styx Ancestor's eyes were bloodshot. He not only wanted to destroy Ao Bai, but also to seize the Twelfth Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus from him.

Unfortunately, the Styx Ancestor was unaware that Ao Bai now possessed the absolute strength to contend with him.
