Seeing that Lan Xi obediently closed her eyes and concentrated, beginning to guide the medicinal power of the fairy orchid, with a faint blue-gold halo around her body and her breathing steady and long, Jiang Zhen finally felt relieved.
He found a spot and sat down cross-legged.
With a thought, the crystal-clear, azure skull, engraved with endless laws and patterns, obtained from the bottom of the icy spring, appeared in his hand—the head soul bone of the Water Dragon King!
This place is quiet and secluded, with Dugu Bo's mansion serving as a barrier, making it the perfect spot to absorb this million-year-old soul bone without having to worry about attracting attention.
Jiang Zhen took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incredibly focused, and slowly pressed the skull against his forehead.
...
In the silent chamber, only the faint hum of flowing soul power and two steady breaths rose and fell in waves.
The blue-gold aura surrounding Lan Xi was the first to recede inwards.
The powerful yet gentle medicinal properties of that eight-petaled fairy orchid had completely permeated her limbs, bones, and meridians.
Her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she slowly opened her eyes.
A flash of light appeared in his azure eyes, which then became clearer and deeper, and the soul power emanating from his body was much stronger than before!
"Level 30..." Lan Xi felt the surging power within her body, her little face full of surprise and pride.
The immortal herb not only allowed her soul power to break through four levels, reaching the threshold for obtaining the third soul ring, but also nourished her Blue Silver Emperor essence at a deeper level, making her vitality more vigorous and her perception of the surrounding plants clearer and more acute.
Her first instinct was to look at Jiang Zhen standing to the side.
He remained deeply immersed in his cultivation, the magnificent and mysterious azure skull seamlessly integrated with his forehead.
It exuded an ancient dragon's might and vast energy that made one's heart tremble. Ice-blue law patterns flowed slowly beneath his skin like living things, adding a touch of divine majesty to his handsome face.
Standing nearly 1.7 meters tall, his upright posture made him appear even more composed during his cultivation. Although still young, he already possessed an extraordinary air about him.
As Lan Xi watched, her face flushed slightly, and her azure eyes sparkled with focus, dependence, and an indescribable admiration.
She immediately covered her mouth, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing him.
"Brother Ah-Zhen is so amazing... He's still absorbing such incredible things... I need to work even harder!"
She silently encouraged herself and closed her eyes again.
Calming her mind, she began to condense her third soul ring, using her Blue Silver Emperor bloodline as a guide.
With the solid foundation laid by the eight-petaled orchid for strengthening the body and nourishing the vital energy, this process went exceptionally smoothly.
Time slipped away again.
Another two and a half hours passed.
Buzz—!
A deep purple halo rose from beneath Lan Xi 's feet and hovered steadily behind her. The halo shimmered with light and emitted a powerful aura far exceeding that of a thousand-year soul ring belonging to an ordinary Soul Master!
Six thousand years!
With the help of the immortal herb, the age of her third soul ring reached an astonishing six thousand years!
The moment the spirit ring took shape, a purer energy flowed back into her body, propelling her spirit power to rise again, eventually stabilizing at level thirty-three!
At the same time, information about the third soul skill naturally surfaced in her mind.
Third Soul Skill: Blue Silver Light!
The Blue Silver Emperor emitted a blue-gold light.
The light can quickly heal the wounds of friendly targets, restore their soul power, and provide a continuous life regeneration effect.
It also possesses a gentle purifying power, dispelling the negative effects of the opponent's soul skills.
Lan Xi opened her eyes excitedly, almost jumping up to share her joy.
But seeing that Jiang Zhen was still there at the crucial moment, she immediately suppressed her excitement, clenched her small fist, and waved it silently.
She sat up straight, rested her chin on her hands, and quietly watched Jiang Zhen, her eyes filled with anticipation.
And so they waited, and a whole night passed.
The following morning, as the first rays of light shone through the tiny ventilation openings of the sealed room, the surging energy fluctuations around Jiang Zhen finally began to subside.
The last rays of light from the Water Dragon King's head bone completely merged into his brow, leaving a faint, ice-blue dragon-shaped mark on his forehead that was barely noticeable unless one looked closely, adding to his mystique and nobility.
The immense energy feedback instantly broke through the level 50 bottleneck, and his soul power level increased by two levels again, finally stabilizing at level 50!
More importantly, three soul bone techniques containing the original power and mysteries of the laws of the Water Dragon King were clearly imprinted deep within his soul.
[Soul Bone Skill 1: Abyssal Soul Devouring Whisper]
Drag the opponent's mental energy into a mental illusion space composed of endless water flow and lost whispers.
Those affected will experience a strong sense of disorientation and hallucinations, as if sinking into an endless, dark ocean, with their five senses disrupted.
Unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, consciousness gradually sinks into countless chaotic "flows" and "whispers".
The difference in mental strength between the two parties can lead to prolonged mental confusion, sensory disorientation, and even loss of consciousness.
Furthermore, when attacked, it continuously assimilates and devours the mental energy of the victim, converting it into the purest water elemental energy to feed back to Jiang Zhen, replenishing his energy consumption.
Against an opponent whose mental strength is far weaker than their own, their consciousness may be trapped forever in the abyss of illusion, and their soul may be "digested" and absorbed.
[Soul Bone Skill 2: Ten Thousand Dragons Ice Prison]
Centered on itself, it unfolds a vast, frigid inferno domain, where the temperature plummets to near absolute zero, space freezes, and everything stagnates.
Countless dragon soul phantoms made of extreme ice condensed within the domain, automatically locking onto and frantically attacking all enemies within the domain, with each dragon soul impact carrying a freezing effect.
[Soul Bone Skill 3: Dragon King's Protection]
It automatically triggers when attacked fatally, forming an absolute protective barrier around the body, granting immunity to all damage below the god level for a short duration.
Furthermore, while the barrier exists, it can reflect some of the energy attacks received back.
Jiang Zhen slowly opened his eyes, and a vast ice field and an endless deep sea seemed to flash across the depths of his eyes before finally returning to calm.
He exhaled a long breath of stale air, filled with extreme cold, and felt the whole world become clearer than ever before in his perception.
At first glance, he saw Lan Xi standing in front of him, her eyes fixed on him, her little face filled with tension and concern.
" Lan Xi ".
He gave a gentle smile, and naturally reached out to gently ruffle her soft, blue-gold short hair. "Sorry to keep you waiting."
"Brother Ah Zhen!"
When Lan Xi saw him wake up, she immediately rushed over, tilting her little face up and excitedly saying, "You did it!"
"And another thing, I've reached level 30! I've condensed my third spirit ring, a 5,000-year-old one! I've also gained a new skill called Blue Silver Light!"
Seeing her eager, treasure-like expression, Jiang Zhen's smile deepened: "Yes, I can feel it. Our Lan Xi is the best."
He stood up, stretched his limbs, and felt a surge of power within him far exceeding what he had experienced before. In particular, the transformation of his spiritual sea gave him a feeling of being reborn.
"Let's go out. It's time to check on Dugu Bo's situation."
He took Lan Xi 's hand, pushed open the heavy stone door of the secret room, and slowly walked out into the morning light.
Pushing open the heavy stone door, the slightly chilly morning air rushed in, a stark contrast to the stuffy atmosphere inside the sealed room.
Jiang Zhen took Lan Xi 's hand and walked out slowly.
In the courtyard, two figures were already waiting.
It was Dugu Bo, and a girl standing beside him.
