Chapter 544: Incubating the Wolf-Headed Yangmo

Some time had passed since the auction ended. As agreed, Ye Feng sold all the items purchased by various powerful figures two months later. Among them, the best-selling item was undoubtedly the Soul-Shifting Pill, with 110 pills sold at a price of 31.2 billion each.
Including other auction items and proceeds from selling houses, after deducting the share given to Long Tian and others, Ye Feng earned a net profit of 25 trillion lower-grade divine crystals. Converted into the domain value of the Fifth Realm, this equaled 25 trillion points.
Looking at the 180 billion points of the Fifth Realm in the Virtual Realm, Ye Feng knew that by exchanging his new earnings for Fifth Realm domain value, he would receive new privilege rewards.
“Exchange for Fifth Realm domain value!” Ye Feng hesitated none before proceeding with the exchange.
“Exchange successful! The domain master has acquired 25 trillion points of Fifth Realm domain value!”
“One ultimate privilege granted! One supreme comprehension privilege!”
“Two ultimate exchange privileges, one ultimate enhancement privilege, one ultimate repair privilege, and one ultimate resurrection privilege.”
“Now, I have three ultimate exchange privileges. I can use two of them to exchange for a dark-type clone. This way, although the necromancy laws of the dark type have reached the eighth level of perfection, the clone can still learn some dark-type spells and such. Having multiple clones isn’t a bad thing.” With that thought, Ye Feng immediately said to the Virtual Realm, “I want to exchange for a dark-type clone.”
“Two ultimate exchange privileges will be used. Are you sure to proceed with the exchange?”
“Confirm!”
“Exchange successful. Two ultimate exchange privileges used; one ultimate exchange privilege remaining.”
Following his usual method, Ye Feng activated the clone using his life essence. Looking at the clone dressed in black, he said, “From today onward, your name will be Ye An. Your necromancy skills can’t be improved in the short term, but you can start learning some dark-type techniques first.”
Without hesitation, Ye Feng threw the “Great Necromantic Summoning Spell” that appeared automatically in the martial arts manual to Ye An and then ignored him. Actually, Ye Feng wanted to give him something else, but that was the only book that appeared on its own in the manual. After all, it was a necromantic summoning spell, and Ye Feng still felt somewhat resistant to it.
“What kind of privilege is the ultimate resurrection privilege?” Ye Feng was curious. Although he had received this privilege once when the Fifth Realm was opened last time, he hadn’t paid close attention to it. “I already have an Immortal Body. Do I still need this privilege?”

“This privilege can be applied to others; you can choose to bind it or not.” The words spoken by the Virtual Realm immediately made Ye Feng understand its purpose. However, what surprised him was the absence of guardians in the Fifth Realm. According to the Virtual Realm, guardians were not needed at all. Ye Feng didn’t pay too much attention to this issue, as guardians were actually meant to guide him in using the Virtual Realm. By now, he no longer needed such guidance.

“Does binding mean that the revived person will automatically acknowledge the host as their master? Is it like the repair privilege? If not bound, can one be revived directly without any other side effects?” Although Ye Feng understood what binding meant, he still wanted to confirm it.

“Yes. The vast majority of privileges in the Virtual Realm are bound and can only be used by the host. Using them on others or other objects transfers the binding status from the privilege to the host, creating a contract-like relationship. In the Virtual Realm, only two types of privileges can dissolve this relationship: one is the supreme privilege, and the other is a privilege that the host has never obtained yet, specifically designed to break contracts. There’s also a privilege that forces the dissolution of another person’s contract status, creating a new contract-like relationship with the host. The host has used this privilege many times—it’s the ultimate repair privilege.”

“I see. It would be great if this resurrection privilege had more uses…” Ye Feng touched his nose. This privilege was indeed useful—whomever died around him could be revived fully at the spot, but unfortunately, it could only be used twice.

“The ultimate resurrection privilege has usage limits. It can only be used once on the same person. Moreover, it won’t work if the soul’s strength far exceeds that of the host.”

“Then, with my current soul strength at the peak of the Supreme Saint level, what kind of powerful beings can I revive?” Ye Feng asked further.

“Those whose soul strength is within three ranks above the host’s can be revived. Those four ranks or more above are ineffective.” The answer given by the Virtual Realm didn’t satisfy Ye Feng. He wanted to ask about higher levels as well. He had asked Luo Yan about this, but Luo Yan wasn’t sure because he had only reached the Saint level after his death and had never been to the realm above the Saint Realm, so he didn’t understand such strength classifications. He only knew that his cultivation was the first rank after reaching the Saint level. As for the memories of that old man who used necromancy, although Ye Feng had absorbed them all, he still didn’t have any relevant information.

Seeing that he couldn’t extract anything useful, Ye Feng had no choice but to give up. As for the treasures obtained from those secret realms and ruins, Ye Feng placed them all inside the Sky Ring, without exchanging those sacred-grade items for domain power in the Fifth Domain. Since he wasn’t sure about the uses of many of them, he decided to handle them after reaching the Sacred Realm. Those were the relics of over 2,000 saints at the emperor level, more than 1,800 saints at the supreme level, nearly 10 saints at the ultimate level, plus some personal possessions of the old man who used the necromancy laws. With such wealth in the Sacred Realm, everyone would likely fight over it. After exchanging for domain power, Ye Feng then sent his spiritual energy into the Sky Ring, where the egg of the Wolf-Headed Yang Demon lay quietly. He took out the golden egg and stepped into the Refining Domain, unsure of how long the hatching process would take. In the Fifth Domain of the Refining Domain, he spent over twenty mid-grade sacred crystals to set up a small to medium-sized spirit gathering array, then sat cross-legged inside it. While absorbing spiritual energy, he also fed it into the egg. Any pet beast would hatch only if it had enough energy, which was why hatching took so long—under natural conditions, spiritual energy accumulated extremely slowly. Directly injecting spiritual energy accelerated the hatching process. Normally, Wolf-Headed Yin Demons were born with peak strength at the ancestor god level, while these mutated Wolf-Headed Yang Demons were born with the cultivation level of saints. To ensure successful hatching, at least as much energy as that of a saint-level warrior was needed. For Ye Feng, who was already at the peak of the saint spirit level, this was a relatively simple task. The purpose of setting up the spirit gathering array was to provide energy for the successfully hatched Wolf-Headed Yang Demon; replenishing his own energy consumption was just an additional function. The spirit gathering array built with over twenty mid-grade sacred crystals was sufficient to cover the total energy consumption of a saint king-level warrior. As time passed, Ye Feng continued to feed energy into the egg. Its pale golden color grew brighter, gradually turning into pure gold. To avoid damage, Ye Feng had to control his input speed to match the egg’s absorption rate. After three days, the gold color reached its peak, and Ye Feng could clearly sense a tiny life inside the eggshell about to emerge.

“Click…” Finally, as Ye Feng had predicted, a crack appeared in the eggshell. The crack grew larger as it was struck by something inside the eggshell. Half an hour later, a wet little head emerged. Two large black eyes peeked out from inside the eggshell, observing Ye Feng, while its pink little nose sniffed around.
“Already so vigilant even before hatching—truly a formidable creature,” Ye Feng couldn’t help but exclaim in his heart.
After a while, it seemed to confirm that Ye Feng posed no threat to its life. It finally crawled out of the eggshell, ignoring Ye Feng entirely, and began chewing the shell piece by piece before swallowing it.
It took nearly three hours to finish eating the entire eggshell, giving Ye Feng ample time to observe this little creature closely.
It resembled the Wolf-Headed Yin Demon quite closely, except its eyes were black while the Wolf-Headed Yin Demon’s eyes were scarlet red. It also had sharp teeth, deadly forelimbs, and walked upright on two legs. Behind its back was a long tail with a poisonous spike at the tip. Most notably, right in the center of its forehead was a mark resembling the sun, though it was fleeting.
After finishing the eggshell, the little creature seemed tired. It turned to look at Ye Feng, its little nose twitching as it sniffed. After a while, seemingly having made up its mind, it hopped toward Ye Feng and lay down on his shoulder. Ye Feng guessed that the creature was sniffing for the scent of spiritual energy. Although he couldn’t smell the spiritual energy he had infused into the egg earlier, it must have carried his own aura. This special creature could sense it, which was why it approached him.
The little guy spent three hours eating the eggshell, but it took three days to fully digest it. After sleeping for three days, it slowly woke up, having grown slightly larger—from the size of a fist to the size of a palm.
Only then did Ye Feng take out the Wolf-Headed Yin Demon’s egg. The little creature seemed to know instinctively that this could be eaten. It immediately hopped off Ye Feng’s shoulder and onto the eggshell, which was dozens of times larger than itself. It pried a hole in the shell with its claws and inserted its tail inside.
This sight surprised Ye Feng greatly; he had no idea the tail had a sucking function. In just one hour, the little creature sucked up all the liquid inside the eggshell and then began chewing on it. Another hour passed before it finished eating the entire shell. It turned to look at Ye Feng, as if asking if there was more.

Ye Feng took out another egg, and the little creature excitedly jumped onto it, starting to suckle just as before. For a full twenty hours, the little creature kept eating, which made Ye Feng wonder where all that food went considering its small size. After swallowing the tenth egg, it seemed finally full and climbed onto Ye Feng’s body to fall asleep. After only a day’s sleep, its size didn’t seem to change, and it woke up again. Ye Feng then fed it an egg of the Wolf-Headed Yin Demon. Although he didn’t see the little creature attack, Ye Feng could clearly sense that its soul strength had risen to the level of a Holy Messenger. As days passed, all a thousand eggs were finally fed. The little creature fell into deep sleep once more. This time it slept for a rather long period—entirely one year in the divine realm. Its aura also changed. The sun-like mark on its forehead transformed into a nine-pointed star pattern, which continuously extended into strange patterns, slowly spreading around its body. While waiting patiently, Ye Feng also devised a formation. With ten thousand times accelerated time, he didn’t have to worry about what might happen during his absence. Even if something did occur, Long Tian would inform him right away. A full year passed, and the little creature finally woke up. Its cultivation level had reached the early stage of Holy Spirit, and its size had grown to about two meters. Upon seeing Ye Feng, it immediately licked his face affectionately. “It’s time to form a contract,” Ye Feng said with a smile as he forced out a drop of his vital blood.
