Su Yu was a bit puzzled.
Although this kind of Earth Dragon is more focused on physique enhancement, making up for the lack of energy, in other aspects it's still behind Long Yun.
The cost-effectiveness is not high.
"This energy nourishes your physical body, while also nurturing your Martial Soul, along with your Soul Ring."
Su Yu opened his eyes wide.
Is it really that amazing?
Knowing that the origin of this Dragon Valley is extraordinary, the energy here might be different. Elder Yi could see something, but he didn't expect this detail.
"This Dragon Valley is quite extraordinary. I preliminarily estimate it's entirely man-made.
Whoever accomplished this is somewhat stronger than I was at my peak.
Right in front of you, deeper in the Dragon Valley, what's buried are not ordinary members of the Dragon Race.
They're far superior to your teacher."
Elder Yi's comparison gave Su Yu a rough understanding.
A Divine Level Dragon King died here.
"The energy of these creatures is tainted with a very high-level energy, and under this energy it gathered the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, condensed into solid form, possessing various wonderful uses.
Especially these spiritual creatures, their spirituality seems to be able to perfect your Soul Ring."
Elder Yi's last words sparked an idea in Su Yu.
Could the increase in the Soul Ring's years be due to the lack of spirituality?
Spirituality...
"Actually, in theory, as long as you grasp the technique, nurturing the Soul Ring with Soul Power over the years should increase its age.
But something was missing.
Now it seems, what's missing is this spirituality.
The Soul Ring is a regulated product, capable of bearing the rules depending on its spirituality rather than its energy."
After all, when absorbing the Soul Ring, wasn't the Soul Power absorbed and refined by the Soul Master?
The Soul Ring itself doesn't have much energy; what truly constitutes and supports the Soul Ring is its spirituality.
Su Yu nodded.
He began to search for living beings in the Dragon Valley.
Of course, Long Yun was not spared, absorbing whenever encountered.
Next, he accelerated his actions.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed.
After a month in the Dragon Valley, Su Yu had undergone a rebirth-like transformation.
"I can at least absorb a Sixty-Thousand-Year Soul Ring for my Fifth Soul Ring."
After a month of absorption, although it became increasingly difficult to improve his physique later on, the sheer volume couldn't be overcome.
Su Yu felt that his limit for absorbing Soul Rings had increased by at least Twenty Thousand Years.
"I'll work harder and aim to absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring for the Fifth Soul Ring," Su Yu thought fancifully.
But one must dream; what if it comes true?
Besides the direct enhancement of his physique, it's the increase in Qi and Blood Power that gave Su Yu the greatest confidence.
His Qi and Blood had become so dense it condensed into solid form.
This Long Yun had accumulated countless years, with immensely dense energy within, and the effect on Su Yu upon absorption was exceptionally obvious.
His Qi and Blood were nourished, and his Bloodline Power became much denser.
Su Yu attempted to condense the Qi and Blood Energy, successfully forming Qi and Blood Power.
In addition, Su Yu's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul also grew significantly.
The growth in Life Attribute was insignificant, but in other aspects, it was greatly enhanced.
His Spiritual Power also at least doubled.
"And the affinity for Elemental Energy."
Su Yu was already able to simply mobilize various elements in the world with his Spiritual Power.
The increment in the Soul Ring's years was not enough to bring about a qualitative change. According to what Elder Yi said, each Soul Ring increased by about a hundred years.
A hundred years is minimal.
But Su Yu saw a direction.
He was not blindly fighting to level up, but every time he absorbed, he seriously comprehended the feeling of spiritual nurturing of the Martial Soul and Soul Ring.
After a month, he also captured a trace of feeling.
"Moving forward will be somewhat dangerous," Elder Yi reminded Su Yu, "ahead begins to exude strong ominous resentment, here, many high-tier Dragon Race members died, each filled with grievance."
Elder Yi's tone was full of emotion. What change could have caused such a large Dragon Race to all die in this small world, full of resentment for so many years?
Su Yu received Elder Yi's warning but did not retreat; instead, he advanced.
Resentment?
Ominous?
Su Yu was not afraid.
Elder Yi specializes in dealing with such things, no need to be afraid at all.
Ellex hadn't actively helped these grievances transcend. He could feel that these grievances had their own mission.
Transcendence is freedom, but it seems these remnant souls willingly endure endless years of resentment, as if they were waiting for something.
Without bearing the mission of others, it would be inappropriate to do good well-intended deeds and ruin others' last will.
Elder Yi simply protected Su Yu without dispelling the resentment of the remnant souls here.
Su Yu walked for a long time and saw the first Dragon Bone.
Remains.
Looking at the enormous Dragon Bone, Su Yu compared it to his small figure.
Alright, burying dragons is definitely not possible.
He burst forth with Life Force, Spiritual Power guiding.
Even under the influence of the ominous aura, tufts of tenacious Blue Silver Grass sprouted from the ground.
Blue Silver Domain!
Under the Blue Silver Domain, tufts of Blue Silver Grass absorbed Life Force and rapidly grew, soon covering this Dragon Bone.
The originally dead and dull land seemed to gain a touch of vitality.
The Dragon Bone lay amidst the Blue Silver Grassland, as if resting in a vibrant field.
A surge of pure energy burst from the Dragon Bone and merged into Su Yu's body.
Su Yu smiled.
Sure enough, this method works too.
After the first Dragon Bone was the second.
Su Yu diligently covered these Dragon Bones with Grass.
The energy within these Dragon Bones far surpassed those energy creatures on the periphery; just one Dragon Bone's energy equaled his daily harvest on the outskirts.
As time passed, Su Yu had spent a full three months in the Dragon Valley.
After covering the Dragon Bone before him with Grass, a surge of pure energy entered his body.
Feeling the lack of improvement in his physique, Su Yu prepared to leave.
He hadn't been here for a short time.
An energy blocked Su Yu, pushing him toward the area with more Dragon Bones.
Su Yu smiled bitterly.
"Senior members of the Dragon Race, surely you can feel it, taking someone's resources obligates helping them out. I'm here merely for opportunity.
I've been here for quite a while; it's time to leave."
After some thought, Su Yu said, "Alright then, I'll put in a bit more effort for all you Dragon Race predecessors."
Su Yu fully energized his Spiritual Power, the Life Force within the Blade of Living Beings wildly surged.
The ultimate Life Force erupted.
In the Dragon Tomb, little Blue Silver Grasses were endowed with tenacious Life.
The ominous aura couldn't erode their vitality.
"Perhaps in three, five, or ten years, they can grow up."
In the distance, strands of Energy shot into the sky, converged in mid-air, condensed, and finally poured into Su Yu's body.
The limitations that were initially no longer improving broke through a certain threshold.
Su Yu turned around and left, exiting the Dragon Tomb.
He activated the Space Disturbance Device.
Space shattered, and the Soul-guided Protective Shield instantly activated.
Su Yu immersed himself in comprehending the Power of Space, not wasting the three seconds.
In the Sea of Spirit, the "空" Rune gradually became complete...
