Chapter 385: Ancient Heavenly Phoenix Marrow
"The Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit requires the life force of both the Taixu Ancient Dragon and the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix to nurture it," Zi Yan said, gazing at the bones of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix below. Her brows furrowed as she continued, "Now that the life force has been consumed, the flesh of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix has decayed."
"But I don't know how valuable the remaining bones are," she added thoughtfully.
After hearing Zi Yan's analysis, everyone nodded in agreement. Although the bones of a Dou Saint-level beast were incredibly valuable, these were left after the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit had been nurtured. Given the value of the fruit, it wouldn't be surprising if it had drained all the energy from the Heavenly Phoenix's bones.
"Regardless, these are still the bones of a Dou Saint-level beast. It's a shame to leave them here," Xiao Ze said, stepping forward to examine the bones.
Using his soul power, he lifted a section of bone. A golden flame, the Origin Emperor Flame, appeared in his palm and began to burn the bone. Soon, Xiao Ze's eyes narrowed, and a smile spread across his face.
"It seems these bones aren't worthless after all," he announced.
The others watched in surprise as the bone burned in the golden flame. Despite the intense heat, the bone showed incredible hardness, and a faint purple hue became visible within it.
"Is that the marrow of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix?" Medusa asked.
"Yes, the marrow of a Dou Saint is incredibly valuable. Even absorbing a small amount would grant significant power, surpassing many eighth-grade pills," Xiao Ze confirmed with a nod.
He continued, "Let's take our time refining it. No one else is here to compete with us for the treasures of this Dou Saint's remains, so there's no need to rush."
The women were delighted by this news. Days later, as they returned from gathering heavenly materials and earthly treasures outside the Beast Spirit Barrier, they found Xiao Ze sitting on the altar, surrounded by the golden flame and the massive bones of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.
The once solid bones now looked more fluid, with strands of deep purple marrow becoming more prominent in the flame. While the women had been collecting treasures, Qing Lin had even managed to form a bond with some serpentine magical beasts in the ancient forest.
Seeing Xiao Ze awake, Qing Lin asked, "Xiao Ze, how's it going?"
"Pretty well," he replied. "Aside from the initial challenge of dealing with the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix's lingering soul, it was mostly a matter of time and effort."
Soon, the golden flame condensed into a cauldron, leaving a viscous, deep purple liquid floating in the air. The marrow looked as thick as gel and was about the size of a human head.
"Such a massive Heavenly Phoenix, and this is all the marrow we get?" Xiao Yi Xian marveled.
"Given that the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit consumed so much energy, this amount is actually more than I expected," Xiao Ze said with a smile, dividing the marrow into five portions.
"Everyone gets a share," he said, but Zi Yan quickly declined.
"You don't need to include me. I already got the most precious thing here. You should split the marrow among yourselves," she insisted.
Seeing her resolve, Xiao Ze divided the marrow into four portions and handed them out in jade bottles.
"You should refine it right here. I'll keep watch," Zi Yan offered, and the others accepted, sitting down to begin their refinement.
Xiao Ze drank his portion, feeling the marrow's searing heat spread through his body. A vast ocean of energy erupted from the marrow, which was absorbed by his Origin Tree, expanding its diameter further.
However, the further it expanded, the more energy it required. Even the marrow of a Dou Saint wasn't enough for a dramatic breakthrough at his current level.
In the original story, Xiao Yan increased his power by one star just by consuming a drop of Dou Saint marrow. But that was when he was still at a lower stage of Dou Zun. For someone like Xiao Ze, who was already at the peak of Dou Zun, the marrow had less immediate impact.
Opening his eyes, Xiao Ze noted that the Origin Tree's diameter had now reached 600 meters, acknowledging the vast gap between Dou Zun and Dou Saint.
"The gap between the peak of Dou Zun and Dou Saint is immense, and my foundation is much stronger than most, requiring far more energy," he reflected, but he was not overly concerned. Each expansion of the Origin Tree brought tangible increases in his power.
Stretching, Xiao Ze began sorting through the treasures collected by his lightning avatars over the past few days. The abundance of heavenly materials and earthly treasures was overwhelming.
While Medusa and the others had been collecting treasures, the bulk of the work had been done by the lightning avatars. Xiao Ze carefully selected the most valuable materials to store in his high-grade storage ring for future use.
After spending half a day organizing the treasures, Xiao Ze couldn't help but shake his head. Having too many valuable materials was indeed a pleasant problem to have.
