Warm spiritual energy poured into his soul, surrounding it like a gentle liquid.
The comfort was so overwhelming he nearly groaned aloud.
But the small world held too little energy. Even if Ye Chen absorbed all of it, it still wouldn't be enough to finalize the breakthrough.
So with one controlled thought....
Ye Chen stepped out of the small world.
Instantly.....
A powerful ripple burst out from his brow, invisible yet unstoppable, sweeping across the guest room… the inn… and straight into the sky!
BOOM—!
The moment that wave escaped—
the entire Mocheng fell into chaos.
The sky churned like boiling oil, winds howling as spiritual energy raged wildly toward Ye Chen's location.
People panicked.
"What's going on?!"
Even Hai Bodong inside the "Ancient Map" shop felt something amiss.
Even with his strength, he could barely sense a trace of that mystical fluctuation.
Within seconds…
The phenomenon spread over a hundred miles, covering everything—
humans, magical beasts, the land itself—
all pressured by a dominant soul presence.
But Ye Chen heard none of it.
He was immersed in that intoxicating comfort, sinking into spiritual ecstasy.
Inside his brow, his soul began changing—
not formless anymore, but pulsing… alive… like a second heart.
Yet he also felt something missing.
I need a soul cultivation method…!
At that critical moment....
"Yao Lao! Come out!"
With the restriction lifted, the old alchemist Yao Lao emerged from the Soul Banner.
Seeing the world-changing phenomenon, his wrinkled face froze in disbelief.
"Master… is breaking into the Spirit Realm?! At such a young age?!"
He was beyond excited.
"Stop admiring it! Hurry and teach me the method!"
"Y-Yes, Master!"
Yao Lao chanted an ancient, sacred mantra. Ye Chen followed with his mind...
and instantly, his soul began rapidly molding itself…
BANG
The inn trembled. Walls cracked, wooden panels exploded into splinters.
Above Mocheng,
a ghostly image identical to Ye Chen appeared high in the sky.
Its presence alone made even powerful figures tremble in fear.
The phantom soul gently stepped across the air… then turned into a small beam of light.....
and shot back into Ye Chen's brow.
The terrifying pressure vanished.
In the ruined inn, Yao Lao smiled with genuine admiration:
"Congratulations, Master! You have succeeded—Spirit Realm soul!"
Qinglin stared at Ye Chen in awe, speechless.
Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.
This breakthrough… was like rebirth.
With one thought alone… his soul could now strike like a blade.
His strength had stepped into an entirely different world.
Ye Chen moved to a different inn with Qinglin to avoid trouble. Then he reentered his small world.
Xun'er and Queen Medusa instantly sensed the transformation.
Ye Chen felt like a blazing sun now....
impossible to ignore.
Queen Medusa, for the first time ever… lowered her proud head. Shame and uncertainty flickered in her eyes.
Ye Chen smiled faintly.
"Queen Medusa, haven't you ever wanted to take a true human form?"
Her purple pupils trembled.
Ye Chen opened his palm.....
A delicate jade bottle appeared.
Inside.....
a Shape-Shifting Pill.
Its fragrance alone filled the world.
Queen Medusa swallowed lightly, unable to hide her desire.
But pride chained her tongue.
So Xun'er leaned close and whispered:
"If you want Master's gift… you should ask him sweetly~"
Queen Medusa's heart pounded.
Her pride fought against her newfound… vulnerability.
But she remembered what she had already done for Ye Chen… and slowly gave in.
She raised her beautiful purple eyes....
"M-Master… please grant me that pill~"
Ye Chen chuckled softly.
"Of course. But you'll need to satisfy me in return."
Her cheeks flushed instantly.....recalling that intimate moment before.
He flicked his finger
the pill flew into her hands.
"Thank you… Master!"
Without hesitation, she swallowed it.
Energy surged through her body—
and Ye Chen quickly restored her sealed strength to avoid accidents.
"Ahh—!"
She let out a soft moan as her figure glowed bright violet…
The intense glow wrapped her body like a cocoon.
Minutes later
FLASH—
The light vanished.
What emerged before Ye Chen—
A breathtaking woman draped in a thin violet robe, long jade hair flowing over smooth shoulders and curving hips.
Her snake tail was gone
replaced by two long, snowy legs, bare feet floating above the ground like crystals untouched by dust.
Ye Chen's eyes widened.
"Tsk tsk… what a deadly beauty. With a figure like that… anyone would lose control."
Queen Medusa smiled with rare joy:
"This king… has finally transformed!"
Xun'er laughed:
"Congratulations~ But don't forget… without Master, you wouldn't have this chance."
Her voice turned teasing:
So shouldn't you properly serve him now?"
Medusa froze… then gazed directly at Ye Chen.
Expectation.
Shyness.
And a hint of submission.
Her destiny… had changed.
