The Sea King Crown was still partially sealed, and Ye Zhongming wanted to use it for experimentation, which was perfectly reasonable. Moreover, the tangible benefits the Sea King Crown provided Ye Zhongming were far less obvious than those of the Mountain King Crown. Even if it resulted in failure and the Sea King Crown was destroyed, Ye Zhongming would find it easier to accept.
So when the energy that had taken Ye Zhongming tremendous effort to refine finally appeared, his mood was one of joy.
Feeling this energy, Ye Zhongming knew that even if he ultimately failed, he had discovered a method to increase his strength. If all the energy in his body were refined, his power would naturally increase.
He was completely unprepared for the appearance of the Earth Spirit and the Star Spirit. The two little creatures were usually very obedient. But now, they acted like two greedy children, rushing over to consume the first strand of energy.
Ye Zhongming was momentarily stunned, then felt a bit helpless. If the two little ones insisted on ignoring his commands, he truly had no way to stop them.
Of course, it wasn’t that they would cause any harm to Ye Zhongming; at most, he just couldn't command them anymore.
In comparison to the potential 'disobedience,' Ye Zhongming was actually more concerned about whether the two little ones were in any danger. Although this strand of energy looked minuscule, its purity was exceptionally high, and he wondered if the two little ones could withstand it.
It was akin to someone accustomed to drinking cold boiled water suddenly trying to drink sixty-degree liquor—not just a matter of adaptation, but also whether it could harm their bodies.
The energy disappeared within the two elemental spirits. In the beginning, they were a bit subdued, but soon they entered an excited state, even jumping out of Ye Zhongming's body.
This startled Pao Bai and Jie Su!
At the same time, their hearts were filled with shock!
They didn’t know what this was, but that didn’t prevent them from guessing. Because throughout the All Races of the Universe, there was a legend, the truth of which was uncertain: when life reaches the level of a peak expert, if they can continue to refine, it is very likely that at some point, they can condense their own power into primordial elements of the same attribute.
That kind of miraculous life.
Creating life, for many beings, is akin to a miracle.
Now, the two semi-transparent humanoid figures flying above Ye Zhongming’s head looked like the primordial form of elements!
Ye Zhongming was certainly not a peak expert; he wasn't even a great expert, so why did he have such things?!
Could this be this guy's ultimate secret?
The thoughts of the two were quite complex; it wasn’t jealousy, but rather a sense of confusion, a lack of understanding, a kind of… strangeness.
They acknowledged Ye Zhongming's exceptional talent; they even felt it was on par with their own. But now, their feelings had completely changed. They knew that their understanding of this good friend was too limited.
The two little spirits danced excitedly in the air. Perhaps they were unaware, but their bodies were gradually growing larger and becoming more solid.
This made Jie Su and Pao Bai look at them as if they were seeing deities.
There was no way around it; the two little ones were quite mischievous. One moment they would add armor to Pao Bai's exterior, the next they would create multiple times the gravity, and then they would produce a beam of light above Jie Su’s head, causing him to sink into a sea of light particles...
The two of them were certainly capable of responding, but it was obvious that the little ones belonged to Ye Zhongming and harbored no malice. If they reacted too violently and sparked hostility, that wouldn't be good, so they could only allow the little ones to play around.
After a while, the two little ones finally calmed down a bit and sat on Ye Zhongming's shoulders, like miniature adults deep in thought.
The effects applied to Pao Bai and Jie Su naturally disappeared.
