Chapter 534: The Odd Second Method! Commencing Cultivation!
Chapter 534: The Odd Second Method! Commencing Cultivation!
With 3,000 points of experience in the Eye Demon Codex, it was naturally impossible for Su Ping to obtain.
However, within the All Spirit Compendium's abilities, he could use universal experience points to convert them into Codex experience points.
Although such mutual conversions were somewhat disadvantageous.
Converting Eye Demon Codex experience points to universal experience points required a 5:1 ratio, but Su Ping was not stingy about it.
Recently, he had acquired a considerable amount of universal experience and Codex experience.
The Origami Man alone provided nearly 30,000 Codex experience points, which translated to almost 3,000 universal experience points. Not to mention, he had also reserved quite a few beforehand.
Initially, Su Ping had planned to start the second phase of cultivation for Little Flame's Nan Ming Li Huo after the evolution of Qian Zhi was complete.
However, it seemed that the Codex experience points were more than sufficient for the time being, so he didn't mind.
Converting 600 universal experience points quickly, the previously blank Eye Demon Codex was suddenly filled. It could even be directly upgraded to level 2 or even close to level 3.
Of course, Su Ping would never use these experience points to level up the Eye Demon Codex.
Instead, without hesitation, he channeled them into the incomplete evolution cultivation method, 'Eye of Annihilation'.
3,000 Codex experience points gradually returned to zero, and then, a new special cultivation method, appeared in Su Ping's mind.
【Eye of Annihilation Evolution Form: The Eye Demon, based on its unique physical form, gives birth to an odd evolution, concentrating all its power into the most powerful offensive and killing capabilities. It also possesses various peculiar characteristics and a relatively flexible and special combat style.】
Cultivation Method 1:
【Cultivation Requirement Phase 1: The Eye Demon's rank must surpass the Overlord Rank and have more than two individuals, with one of them having a Vision Deprivation skill level higher than the Proficient Rank.】
【Cultivation Requirement Phase 2: After the skilled Eye Demon uses the 'Vision Deprivation' skill on the Eye Demon being cultivated, the blinded Eye Demon must stare directly at the sun for more than three hours at a time, and the total staring time must exceed twelve hours. Each staring period has a chance to comprehend the special skill: Light Concentration.】
(Note 1: This phase is a special phase. During the Eye Demon's staring at the sun, it must maintain Vision Deprivation throughout the entire process and for more than three hours. If there is any interruption, a three-day interval is required before restarting the cultivation.)
(Note 2: In this phase, applying the light-attribute special resource 'Solar Spring Water' increases the probability and speed of comprehension.)
【Cultivation Requirement Phase 3: After the evolved Eye Demon comprehends Light Concentration, it must exert all its strength and immerse itself in 'Solar Spring Water', 'Rainbow Dew', and 'Life Water'. After dispersing the necromantic body, it should be immediately placed on the Monarch Rank resource 'Soul Summoning Stone'.】
(Note: This phase is crucial. If the Eye Demon's rank is below the Overlord Rank, there is a chance of complete death during this phase. The cultivator must remove it as soon as the body disperses; otherwise, the consciousness and intelligence will completely shatter. Even with a stable life force, if the evolution is forced, it will be unable to bear its own power.)
【Cultivation Requirement Phase 4: Simultaneously use the energy-type Monarch Rank light attribute 'Dawn Seed' and the Monarch Rank necromantic attribute 'Nether Water' to complete the evolution!】
As Su Ping read through the evolution method of the Eye of Annihilation at this moment, he nodded.
There was no particularly groundbreaking cognition, but relatively speaking, the evolution of the Eye of Annihilation was extremely dangerous, especially during the third phase.
In the evolution method provided by Master Yin Luo, the third phase was entirely different.
In the third phase, the cultivator named Han Qiong maintained the necromantic cultivation, but unlike Yin Luo, he combined the necromantic attribute with the light attribute.
It appeared similar, but in essence, there was a qualitative difference.
Su Ping carefully contemplated the changes and distinctions in the Eye of Annihilation's cultivation within his mind.
In the third phase, the All Spirit Compendium's method would grant this so-called necromantic body a dispersing impact.
What was the Eye Demon's body like?
Su Ping glanced at the few Eye Demons beneath his feet.
It seemed to be a hybrid between a ghostly body and a physical entity. However, this evolution seemed to require the complete destruction of the necromantic body, almost replacing it with another form, to complete the evolution.
However, before Su Ping could carefully ponder the implications and possible variations, the chapter came to an end.
Su Ping quickly discovered another extremely important and critical matter!
Under the feedback from the All Spirit Compendium, he suddenly realized that besides the first piece of information, there was another hidden tail of feedback.
It was another seemingly insignificant feedback:
Breeding Method 2:
Lacking critical breeding results, the current consumption of experience points from the compendium is insufficient to unlock Method 2. To forcefully complete the breeding, 20,000 universal experience points are required!
Indeed.
There was another breeding method for the Eye of Annihilation.
What surprised Su Ping even more was that this so-called second breeding method required a whopping 20,000 universal experience points!
How was this possible?
The Eye of Annihilation, no matter how special it seemed, appeared to be just a Monarch Rank evolution body at most, barely reaching the Emperor Rank.
According to the feedback from the All Spirit Compendium, lower-level skills consumed less experience, followed by advanced evolution bodies, and finally the most top-tier skills.
Additionally, there were some relatively special cases, such as the initial analysis of the contracted beast's mutation, which also consumed a significant amount of experience.
Currently, the most expensive was the terrifying Nan Ming Li Huo.
However, this was normal, according to Su Ping's speculation. The ultimate Nan Ming Li Huo might even surpass the super-tier skills in terms of rank.
That was an entirely different realm.
Even Nan Ming Li Huo, after cultivating the Day-Night Flame from a small flame, Su Ping's further understanding and speculation about it only required 20,000 universal experience points.
That was the skill of the legendary Vermilion Bird, the mythical flame of the Fire Supreme, Flame Sovereign!
But what was this in front of him?
A mere ordinary yet extraordinary evolution body, what made it require 20,000 experience points to unlock this so-called second evolution method?
Was this unscientific?
Su Ping blinked and carefully examined the breeding method of the Eye of Annihilation once more.
From the first breeding method, he couldn't see anything extraordinary about the Eye of Annihilation.
Or perhaps, was the second breeding method even more incredible? But unless it directly evolved to the legendary rank, Su Ping wouldn't acknowledge such a high cost of 20,000 universal experience points. Converted to the Eye Demon Codex, that was 200,000 experience points!
From the first breeding method, the Eye Demon seemed to have undergone some morphological changes, perhaps transforming into an elemental or even light elemental form, or perhaps something else, like a pure wandering spirit energy body of necromancy.
But was this too exaggerated?
This didn't make sense at all!
Su Ping suppressed the excitement in his heart and carefully read the All Spirit Compendium's second breeding method prompt, frowning slightly as he quickly discovered some clues.
The lack of critical breeding results prevented the unlocking of this so-called second breeding method.
So, what was this critical breeding method?
Or perhaps, in a sense, the previous 3,000 point evolution body breeding method should have already encompassed both methods.
The truly worthy expenditure of 20,000 universal experience points was this so-called critical breeding result.
Then, what could this breeding result be?
Su Ping sat on a small stool in the breeding lab, thinking for an entire morning.
He couldn't even come up with a single clue.
Even if there were possibilities, in Su Ping's opinion, they weren't worth 20,000 universal experience points.
Perhaps the All Spirit Compendium's experience calculation method was incorrect?
Su Ping shook his head. If he couldn't figure it out, then there was no need to think about it.
However, after this little incident known only to Su Ping, his initial interest in the Eye Demon and the breeding of the Eye of Annihilation turned into full-blown enthusiasm.
He couldn't wait to breed it, to see what this Eye of Annihilation was, and why this so-called second breeding method required such an exaggerated and outrageous amount of 20,000 universal experience points.
Su Ping had always been the type to act on his desires.

Moreover, after the power-up, the breeding evolution difficulty of the Eye of Annihilation wasn't as high as it seemed.
Reciting word-for-word, if Su Ping were to encounter any breeding issues, then his nearly year-and-a-half of cheating would have been in vain.
With this in mind, Su Ping put away the four little Eye Demons and walked out of the breeding laboratory at the Sky Grave base.
The Northern Province had no spring or autumn seasons, and in October, the weather was already chilly with cold winds blowing.
However, despite the low temperature, there was still a hint of autumnal crispness in the air.
The warm sun, not scorching hot, spread its rays, and the deep blue sky was devoid of any abnormalities, as if a piece of azure stone had been placed atop the dome.
Unfortunately, before Su Ping could even squint to enjoy the pleasant afternoon of the northern autumn, a voice rang out from not too far away:
"Su Ping, come here for a moment."
Su Ping turned his head and saw Su Anyong standing at the entrance of an unknown building, his face serious, with Captain Li Feng, whom he had met earlier that morning, by his side.
Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed, and a bad premonition suddenly arose. Nonetheless, he walked over.
"Su Ping, this is Captain Li Feng of the Sky Grave Force. I heard you met him this morning!"
Su Anyong spoke calmly, "Originally, if you hadn't come, it would have been fine. But since you've come to the Northern Province and are prepared to enter the Sky Grave, I have nothing more to say. From now on, you will train with all the members of the Sky Grave, especially in the internal simulations of the Sky Grave training grounds. Do you understand?"
Su Ping frowned, "This... that's not necessary..."
Before he could finish, Su Anyong's eyebrows furrowed, "Su Ping, I'm not discussing this with you. Even if you find Ghost Saint, he would agree with me. This is not only about taking responsibility for yourself, but also for the other members of the Sky Grave Force who will enter with you at that time!
Perhaps, your discomfort, a slight mistake on your part, will not only cost your life, but also theirs!"
Hearing these words, Su Ping sighed helplessly, but he had to admit that his father was right.
He nodded, "Okay, but give me a few days. I have other matters to attend to these days."
His father's eyebrows furrowed, "What are you up to, Su Ping? You don't need to be too involved with the Ghost Tide. Only by resolving the Sky Grave issue can the root cause be truly addressed. Don't you understand?"
Su Ping understood perfectly well. It wasn't that he regretted the huge gains from the Ghost Tide; even the harvest from the previous night required the Death Cycle to digest for a period of time, so there was no need for greed.
"That's not it. After I finish breeding this Annihilation Eye Demon in the next couple of days, it won't be too late to start. Captain Li, have you finished collecting the data I asked for?"
Li Feng nodded, "It's done. Including myself, there are a total of seventy-one members in the Sky Grave Legion who have Eye Demons as additional companion beasts. As for the fourth companion beast, it's more diverse and difficult to count uniformly."
Su Ping smiled, "It seems like you were all pre-selected for the Annihilation Special Forces back then."
Li Feng scratched his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.
On the other side, Su Anyong frowned at Su Ping, "What are you up to, kid?"
Su Ping didn't bother to respond. Why did this old guy have two faces when he was in the army? He immediately turned to Li Feng, "Since that's the case, would Captain Li be willing to lend me your Eye Demon?"
Upon hearing this, Li Feng visibly hesitated.
Su Ping didn't know, but they certainly knew about the tragic state of the Annihilation Eye Demon breeding.
One mistake could result in the loss of a contracted beast, a devastating blow that would be difficult to recover from for life.
Su Ping immediately noticed Li Feng's concern, but he didn't mind the other party's suspicion of him. Instead, he explained, "It's not to directly breed your Eye Demon, but during the breeding process, I need your Eye Demon to help out, and there's no guarantee of success. The main attempt will be with another wild Eye Demon."
Hearing this, Li Feng immediately relaxed, "Then of course there's no problem!"
"Since that's the case, Captain Li, please inform Master Yin. In twenty minutes, we'll officially start the Annihilation Eye Demon breeding attempt! Once successful, the combat strength of the Sky Grave Legion will also rise to a new level."
Ten minutes later, Yin Luo, looking like he had seen a ghost, rushed over.
