"Origin Qi?"
Hearing this, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "So that's what it's called!"
As a half-step Dou God-level expert, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint had long sensed that breaking through to the Dou God level required a certain medium, which had already vanished from the Dou Qi Continent. Therefore, when Xiao Feng mentioned that peak Dou Saints needed Origin Qi to break through to the Dou God level, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint was inclined to believe him.
After calming his excitement, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint sighed regretfully, "Unfortunately, I am now only a wisp of a remnant soul, with less than a tenth of my former strength. Even with Origin Qi, I would no longer be able to break through to the Dou God level."
The Yellow Spring Demon Saint had perished long before Xiao Xuan, and the Yellow Spring Space he resided in was not like the Ancient Tomb, which could nurture soul bodies. As a result, his soul power had been greatly diminished over the long years.
"Senior, there's no need to despair. As I mentioned earlier, I have come today to offer you an opportunity to achieve the Dou God level," Xiao Feng reassured with a smile. "By chance, I have fused with a space similar to the Ancient Tomb, which can nurture remnant souls and gradually restore them to their peak state.
When the Ancient God's Cave opens decades from now, your strength should have mostly recovered. By then, you can use the Origin Qi to break through to the Dou God level."
"Really?"
The Yellow Spring Demon Saint's eyes lit up. If possible, he certainly didn't want to fade away. However, he also knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch, so he asked, "Junior, speak plainly. What do you want in return?"
"What I want is simple: the Demon Saint's essence blood sealed within you, the cultivation method for the Yellow Spring Divine Anger, and your assistance in battle when necessary."
"Very well, I agree!"
The Yellow Spring Demon Saint nodded slightly, then added, "However, I need to verify your claims first. You must show me whether you can truly help me return to my peak state."
"Of course. Please do not resist, Senior. I will now take you into the Hueco Mundo."
With that, Xiao Feng brought the Yellow Spring Demon Saint's remnant soul into the Hueco Mundo.
As Xiao Feng's cultivation had advanced to the advanced Half-Saint level, not only had the Hueco Mundo's internal space expanded several times, but its spatial strength had also increased significantly. It was now capable of forcibly suppressing beings below the five-star Dou Saint level.
The current Yellow Spring Demon Saint was only a wisp of a remnant soul, with strength equivalent to a three-star Dou Saint. Xiao Feng could easily suppress him using the power of the Hueco Mundo. However, Xiao Feng had no intention of forcibly suppressing the Yellow Spring Demon Saint. Instead, he planned to use the promise of breaking through to the Dou God level as bait to make the Yellow Spring Demon Saint willingly assist him.
Upon entering the Hueco Mundo, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint could feel an inexplicable force subtly influencing his soul. Although this force seemed somewhat sinister, it could also restore damaged soul power. This convinced the Yellow Spring Demon Saint of Xiao Feng's claims.
Under Xiao Xuan's witness, the Yellow Spring Demon Saint handed over the Demon Saint's essence blood sealed within him and the cultivation method for the **Yellow Spring Divine Anger** to Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng first handed the Yellow Spring Divine Anger to his shadow clones for cultivation, then began seclusion to refine the Demon Saint's essence blood.
The Yellow Spring Demon Saint had been a half-step Dou God-level expert during his lifetime, and the energy contained within his essence blood far surpassed that of a one-star Dou Saint like Yao Xiaotian. Unfortunately, the essence blood left by the Yellow Spring Demon Saint amounted to only five drops, which would at most allow Xiao Feng to break through to the three-star Dou Saint level.
After more than three months of intense refinement, Xiao Feng finally fully absorbed the five drops of Demon Saint's essence blood. His cultivation skyrocketed from the advanced Half-Saint level to the late two-star Dou Saint level.
Originally, Xiao Feng could have broken through to the three-star Dou Saint level, but nearly half of the energy was forcibly devoured by his Immortal Dharma Body. However, from the final result, Xiao Feng didn't lose out.
After devouring half of the Demon Saint's essence blood, the Immortal Dharma Body's bloodline power was further enhanced, and the various bloodline abilities attached to it increased in power by several to dozens of times.
Now, the Immortal Dharma Body summoned by Xiao Feng possessed strength comparable to an early four-star Dou Saint, surpassing even the shadow fused with Xiao Xuan.
Moreover, there were less than two weeks left until the three-year agreement.
If not for the Immortal Dharma Body devouring half of the Demon Saint's essence blood, Xiao Feng would have needed at least two to three more months of seclusion, causing him to miss the three-year agreement. That would have meant missing an excellent opportunity to show off!
After adapting to his drastically increased strength, Xiao Feng turned his attention to his character attribute panel, which displayed:

Looking at the four accumulated simulation opportunities, Xiao Feng decisively initiated his thirty-fourth simulation.

The text in the selection box rapidly changed, eventually settling on—Fate Stay/Night!

Glancing at his over 1 billion merit points, Xiao Feng shook his head helplessly and chose the free [Text Projection Simulation]
