The appearance of the Nine Heavens Nine Underworld City not only excited Xiao Mo greatly but also lit up the eyes of the entire Immortal Demon combat team.
"The Master has actually retrieved the first generation Ancestral City!"
"After more than a hundred thousand years, the lost Ancestral City has finally reappeared. May our Master flourish!"
As Immortals and Demons, they were naturally very familiar with this magnificent city, which was clearly recorded in the history of both races.
However, in the records of the Immortal and Demon races, this Ancestral City had been lost after the great war of that year, with no news for over a hundred thousand years.
Who would have thought that this legendary Ancestral City would be retrieved by the Master so quickly.
"Thank you, Master! We will surely clear the path ahead for you!"
"With the existence of the Ancestral City, the Master's radiance will soon shine upon the entire world!"
The entire Immortal Demon combat team collectively knelt and bowed to Xiao Mo, their eyes filled with gratitude and adoration as they looked at him.
The dwarves also collectively knelt in fervor, seeing this as a divine miracle from their Holy Master.
The Immortal Demon combat team also understood Xiao Mo's decision to conceal the Ancestral City.
The Ancestral City currently needed to store spiritual energy, and the Immortal Demon tribe did not need the Ancestral City for the time being.
However, with the rapid development of the Immortal Demon tribe's strength, the Ancestral City would soon be able to officially enter the battlefield.
At that time, the Immortal Demon tribe would be invincible, sweeping through the entire Endless Abyss and establishing a powerful Immortal Demon Empire.
...
After everything was over, the Immortal Demon combat team and the underground dwarves continued to clean up the battlefield.
They collected spoils of war such as Immortal Demon stones, soul crystals, and blueprints, while also piling up the corpses of demonic beasts.
Looking at the truly mountain-like piles of demonic beast corpses, Xiao Mo felt a headache coming on.
With over ten thousand demonic beast corpses of all sizes, how long would it take him alone to collect and decompose them all?
It would likely take at least three hours or more.
Although the beast tide had ended and he had ample time for these tasks, the sheer quantity was still daunting!
At this moment, Xiao Mo suddenly thought of the fallen mercenaries.
If those mercenaries who could decompose corpses were here, they could help him with the decomposition work.
It was at this time that Xiao Mo thought of the Immortal Demon Sacred Hall.
The souls of those mercenaries and the souls of the fallen dwarf warriors had all been guided to the Immortal Demon Sacred Hall.
By consuming some Immortal Demon stones, they could be reborn through the Immortal Demon Reincarnation Pool.
And after being reborn, they would no longer be ordinary mercenaries and dwarves, but would become new troop types with Immortal Demon attributes.
Xiao Mo looked at the Immortal Demon Sacred Hall not far away and could no longer resist his curiosity.
He was very eager to know what kind of troop types these so-called new troop types with Immortal Demon attributes would be.
Thus, Xiao Mo walked into the Immortal Demon Sacred Hall alone.
As for the Immortal Demon combat team, the dwarf warriors, and the few surviving mercenaries, they were still diligently busy.
...
Entering the Immortal Demon Sacred Hall, the main hall was very spacious, with only a statue of Xiao Mo standing there.
Below the statue was a seven-colored lotus-shaped pool, emanating a strong aura of life, with faint sounds of prayer emanating from it.
This was the place that received, stored, and nurtured souls, named the Soul Reincarnation Pool.
With a thought from Xiao Mo, a string of souls flew out from the pool and hovered above the Soul Reincarnation Pool.
[You have obtained three hundred and twenty pure souls washed by the soul spring water!]
Three hundred and twenty pure souls!
This meant that in this beast tide war, he had lost a total of three hundred and twenty troop types (dwarves plus mercenaries).
Through the prompts, Xiao Mo raised a hand, and the three hundred and twenty pure souls directly transformed into three hundred and twenty soul light spots, falling into his palm.
Afterward, Xiao Mo went to the Immortal Demon Reincarnation Pool, took out a soul light spot, and threw it into the reincarnation pool.
At this moment, a message prompt appeared before his eyes.
[Do you wish to consume Immortal Demon Reincarnation Pool energy to reincarnate the pure souls?]
[Yes] [No]
"No!"
Xiao Mo hurriedly refused.
Reincarnating souls could be done by consuming Immortal Demon stones as a substitute.
The energy of the reincarnation pool was still needed to reincarnate Immortal Demon troop types, so it could not be consumed now.
Moreover, what he was most concerned about now was how many Immortal Demon stones it would take to successfully reincarnate a soul.
If it exceeded his expectations, then these pure souls would have to wait a while longer in the Soul Reincarnation Pool.
[Do you wish to consume ten Immortal Demon stones to immediately reincarnate the pure souls?]
[Yes] [No]
The message prompt appeared again.
It cost ten Immortal Demon stones to reincarnate one pure soul.
This meant that reincarnating all three hundred and twenty pure souls would require a full three thousand two hundred Immortal Demon stones.
"This seems a bit too much!"
Immortal Demon stones were too important to Xiao Mo; their primary use was naturally for upgrading the Immortal Demon Reincarnation Pool.
He had previously planned to have Xian Qing'er arrange the Five Elements Heavenly Array once there were enough Immortal Demon stones, soul crystals, and so on.
However, with the Nine Heavens Nine Underworld City, a super "aerial aircraft carrier" combining offense and defense, the Five Elements Heavenly Array could be temporarily put aside.
But, after all, the upgrade of the Immortal Demon Reincarnation Pool was the top priority.
Therefore, it was best to wait until all Immortal Demon stones were collected and see the total amount before deciding on the matter of soul reincarnation.
However, although he couldn't reincarnate all the souls, he could still afford to reincarnate the more than twenty sacrificed mercenaries for now.
Immediately, Xiao Mo waved his hand, and dense soul light spots flew back into the Soul Reincarnation Pool.
Only twenty-two pure souls remained in the end.
These were precisely the sacrificed mercenaries.
[Do you wish to consume two hundred and twenty Immortal Demon stones to reincarnate all current pure souls?]
[Yes] [No]
Xiao Mo chose "Yes" without hesitation and immediately reincarnated them.
Soon, the Immortal Demon Reincarnation Pool emitted a strong golden-red light, and the Tai Chi pattern formed by the pool water slowly rotated.
After a while, golden-red light orbs flew out from the pool and stopped in front of Xiao Mo.
The next moment, the light orbs shattered, and figures appeared before Xiao Mo.
Immortal Demon Death Warriors
Strength Level: Tier 2 (Killing enemies can rapidly increase realm)
Loyalty: 100 (Fanatical faith, devoted to the Master)
Full Strength: Monarch Stage
PS: This type of troop requires a symbiotic exclusive troop building with Immortal Demon attributes – the Immortal Demon Symbiotic Pavilion, to summon!
Special Reminder: Your territory has appeared with troop types possessing Immortal Demon bloodlines. You have gained favorability from all native factions with Immortal Demon bloodlines, and simultaneously increased hatred from other factions!
...
Seeing these information prompts, Xiao Mo was very surprised.
He never expected that the souls of just twenty-two ordinary mercenaries would be reincarnated into Immortal Demon Death Warriors, a troop type with co-existing Immortal Demon attributes.
Although their initial tier was not high, their growth potential was immense, all capable of reaching Monarch stage strength.
This troop type was already enough to surpass those advanced troop types, and even some weaker top-tier troop types.
The weaker top-tier troop types only had Monarch stage potential, while the stronger ones could reach Saint stage.
Moreover, all of Xiao Mo's initial Immortal Demon troop types, all Yellow Grade War Soldiers, only had a growth potential of peak Monarch stage.
In summary, this batch of Immortal Demon attribute troop types far exceeded Xiao Mo's expectations.
A total of two hundred and twenty Immortal Demon stones for such a death warrior troop type was still very much worth it.
