Two Worlds: Demonic Cultivator with His Zombie Materials-Chapter 254 - 143: Three Years of Stillness, Dragon Roars and Tiger Howls

The Black Tiger had not anticipated such a situation. It assumed it could swallow the Treasure Gourd in one gulp but didn't expect such a twist.

Soon, the Ghost Nurturing Gourd transformed again, spewing several streams of black smoke from its mouth. The smoke, heavy with a sulfurous scent, seemed like it was emanating from hell, forming a black Qingyun cloud that enveloped the Black Tiger's head, pulling it towards the gourd.

Evidently, the Ghost Nurturing Gourd was counterattacking; since you want to devour me, I shall eradicate you first.

The Black Tiger certainly wouldn't passively await its doom. It was an amalgamation formed from countless malicious thoughts accumulated in the Yin Spring. Its time was short and hadn't truly birthed a soul, merely possessing some awareness.

Desperately shaking its body, the Black Tiger made the heavy chains binding its body clatter loudly. Undoubtedly, it instinctively sensed danger and wanted to escape from this perilous situation.

Unfortunately, once the Ghost Nurturing Gourd takes action, it commits fully. Within it, there are two layers of Ghost Realm spaces; neither the Soul-Catching Array formed by countless White Bone Banners nor the Skull Cannibal Tree is easy to handle. With them as stabilizing objects, the Ghost Nurturing Gourd's foundation is extremely deep.

Soon, several more black chains flew out, tightly binding the Black Tiger, pulling it towards the gourd mouth under the grasp of Ghost King's bulging-veined hand. After one last horror-filled roar, the defiant Black Tiger was finally dragged inside.

Roar Roar!

In an instant, after swallowing the entire massive Black Tiger, it was analogous to usurping the essence Qi accumulated over years of evil thoughts and Yin Qi in the Yin Spring. The Ghost Nurturing Gourd slowly spun, its surface lighting up, akin to black jade.

Instantly, black fog surged from the gourd's mouth.

Amidst the surging black fog, an extremely fierce Black Tiger crawled out of the gourd, revealing its form. Its several feet tall body was fully covered in thick Yin Armor, its claws had become sharper, leaving several deep cracks in the air.

Its tiger teeth had grown sharper, now shimmering with light that captivated the soul, enough to make prey lose the courage to resist.

But now the situation was completely different from before. After taking a round in the Ghost Nurturing Gourd, the Yin Spring Black Tiger had been thoroughly transformed into a spirit of the gourd.

The massive Black Tiger emitted a thunderous growl from its throat; with a casual inhale, it swallowed a large amount of surrounding Yin Qi into its belly, making its dense black fur smoother, deepening its body's hue.

Simultaneously, a dragon's roar echoed as piercing white gas from the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd sprayed out, whereupon a White Dragon soared into the air.

The White Dragon and Black Tiger confronted each other across the space, with Yang Qi surging from its body, especially the layers of scales which transformed into blades emitting a deadly glow, containing an infinite metallic essence.

During the fusion of the Black Tiger with the Ghost Nurturing Gourd, the White Dragon also underwent transformation by the Ten Thousand Swords Gourd, specifically through the innumerable sharp Sword Qi it condensed, which now covered the White Dragon's body.

Simply put, this White Dragon is both a spirit-aura of virtual Dragon Transformation and can transform into a sharp Sword Qi, soaring skywards, unstoppable and able to cut through all.

It seemed only a moment had passed when Zheng Yi, having nurtured the two gourds, opened his eyes to the discovery that three months had elapsed.

In the mountains, there are no sun or moon, cold and heat, unknowable across the years.

For Cultivators, the more profound the Cultivation, the deeper the immersion in the evolution of one's body.

A single closed-door cultivation session could last several months.

Legend has it some Golden Core and Nascent Soul stage masters might spend decades in a single closed-door session.

In three months, Zheng Yi initially fused the Ghost Nurturing Gourd and Ten Thousand Swords Gourd respectively with the Yin Spring and Yang Spring.

The two Yin Yang Gourds were also preliminarily refined, and next it wasn't a process for rapid progress.

Instead, through the Heaven and Earth Acupoints, the steaming Yin Yang Qi within the Two Forms of Birth and Death Yin and Yang Springs, to continuously wash, nurture Spirit, ultimately stabilizing the True Form of the Qiankun Yin Yang Qi Gourd Treasure in nurturing the "God."

Of course, many materials were substitutes, including the main material, the Blood and Flesh Gourd, which was a mutant strain cultured with Zombie Flesh. Zheng Yi felt his refining process differed somewhat from that specified in the True Form Map of the Magical Treasure, uncertain if the final successful product would be identical.

But he didn't worry too much; the entire refining process strictly adhered to the True Form Map's guidance, methodically following each step with no obvious errors. With the Heaven and Earth Acupoints, nurtured by the Yin Yang Array, Zheng Yi couldn't conceive of failure.

There might be some deviation, but certainly no premature end; however, its final product effect? Only upon its ultimate formation could it be revealed.

Now, Zheng Yi's task was to gradually await the completion of nurturing Spirit, then decide upon action.

"At this point, everything I could do has been done. Next, it only requires the nurturing of Yin Yang Qi, with the Yin Spring and Yang Spring's two great acupoints, the Two Forms of transformation, birth and death evolution, there should be no major mistakes."

"Next, I also need to harness this valuable land to bolster my power."
