Chapter 106: The Source
“Before you fell unconscious, I searched the palace for a long time, but I couldn’t find the source of this energy. I never imagined it would be buried beneath the palace.”
Zi Baiying continued, “But there’s one thing I don’t understand. Why would such precious True Essence Power be stored in such an inconspicuous small hall?”
“The more inconspicuous a place, the more likely it is to hold treasures. That way, others won’t beat us to it. Now isn’t the time for such thoughts. Let’s quickly absorb the True Essence Power from these three Great Cauldrons,” Qin Yefeng told Zi Baiying.
“Alright,” Zi Baiying said, then sat beside a Bronze Cauldron and took a sip of the Verdant Liquid.
Her body immediately began to surge with abundant Spiritual Power. Soon, Zi Baiying closed her eyes and started cultivating.
Qin Yefeng first took a mouthful of the True Essence. He found the Verdant Liquid remarkably sweet, and soon, countless streams of Spiritual Power surged into his Qi Sea.
However, Qin Yefeng felt that this method of cultivation was too slow. He ignited the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame in his hand and began to refine the liquid in the Great Cauldron.
Under the scorching heat of the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame, the Verdant Liquid filling the Great Cauldron boiled and churned like agitated water.
Subsequently, the liquid in the Bronze Cauldron steadily diminished as the Nine Dragons Burning Heaven Art refined it, transforming it into Dragon Power within Qin Yefeng’s body.
After refining half a Bronze Cauldron’s worth of Verdant Liquid True Essence Power, Qin Yefeng’s blocked meridians surprisingly recovered.
Qin Yefeng then unleashed even more Burning Heaven Dragon Flame from his entire body, directly leaping into the Bronze Cauldron. Inside, he continuously refined the Verdant Liquid, transforming it into Dragon Power.
In Qin Yefeng’s Qi Sea, the golden liquid that had once filled it was now steadily decreasing, its color becoming even more refined.
More golden liquid flowed into Qin Yefeng’s Qi Sea. When the liquid in his Qi Sea had completely turned golden-yellow, the golden-yellow liquid in his Qi Sea actually overflowed, spreading into Qin Yefeng’s Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
The golden-yellow liquid seemed to possess a life of its own. After circulating once through Qin Yefeng’s body, it surprisingly settled in the Soul Sea within his mind.
“This is great! It seems I’m about to advance to the True Essence Realm!” Qin Yefeng’s heart pounded with excitement. When the Spiritual Power in the Qi Sea filled to capacity, and the Spiritual Qi surged into the Soul Sea, that was the sign of advancing to the True Essence Realm.
“I must succeed this time,” Qin Yefeng vowed silently. Since leaving Blackstone City, he had never failed.
Qin Yefeng had originally believed himself to be an unrivaled peak existence among his peers, but reality had seen him decisively defeated by Xue Li.
Although Xue Li was a few years older than him and had broken through to the True Essence Realm, possessing the Fierce Tiger Bloodline, Qin Yefeng’s inability to defeat him was understandable. Yet, it was unforgivable; a loss was a loss.
Because failure meant placing his life in someone else’s hands, and Qin Yefeng detested that.
As more golden liquid overflowed from Qin Yefeng’s Qi Sea, the golden liquid in his Soul Sea also began to surge with energy.
A small Golden Body appeared in his Soul Sea. This Golden Body had tiny limbs and a large head.
As more and more Spiritual Power circulated from Qin Yefeng’s Qi Sea and was transmitted to his Soul Sea, the contours of the small Golden Body gradually became clearer.
“This little golden figure actually looks like me!” Qin Yefeng realized that as the Golden Body slowly took shape, its appearance was practically an exact replica of himself.
Qin Yefeng was astonished. The seniors had always said that upon advancing to the True Essence Realm, one could control Soul Power. Could this small Golden Body be the key?
Qin Yefeng disregarded everything else, focusing solely on refining the True Essence Power. As the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame refined the Verdant Liquid, the circulating golden liquid flowed through his body, finally injecting into Qin Yefeng’s Soul Sea in his mind.
He forgot time, forgot space, forgot everything.
Who knew how much time had passed? Under Qin Yefeng’s devoted refinement, the liquid in the Bronze Cauldron continuously diminished, and the small Golden Body in Qin Yefeng’s Golden Soul Sea became more concrete and powerful.
“Boom!”
Instantly, a golden-yellow radiance shot forth from above Qin Yefeng’s head. The Golden Body within him had fully formed.
Qin Yefeng slowly opened his eyes, only to find that the Verdant Liquid in the three Bronze Cauldrons before him was almost entirely depleted.
Suddenly, something broke through in Qin Yefeng’s Qi Sea, and a pure golden Divine Dragon soared out, as if appearing from thin air, directly breaking free from his Qi Sea.
It then flowed through Qin Yefeng’s Eight Extraordinary Meridians, finally entering the Soul Sea in his mind. Under Qin Yefeng’s Divine Sense, he once again saw that sacred and majestic Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon.
The Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon was truly magnificent and awe-inspiring, seemingly inviolable. Even massive mountain peaks were directly shattered by its pure golden dragon tail.
As the Divine Dragon surged into the Soul Sea, a Golden Scale Shield materialized from the Golden Body’s chest!
This Golden Scale Shield was covered in pure golden, embossed dragon scales, and featured eight perfect defensive facets. It now floated above Qin Yefeng’s Soul Sea.
With a thought from Qin Yefeng, the Golden Scale Shield swiftly flowed out from the Golden Body, then rapidly expanded to three Chi wide in Qin Yefeng’s hand.
“What a treasure!”
The Golden Scale Shield could shrink or expand at will in Qin Yefeng’s hand. Its adaptable form completely shielded Qin Yefeng’s body, and he gazed at it excitedly, praising it profusely.
This Golden Scale Battle Shield was his Companion Object of the Second Revolution.
With this Golden Scale Shield, no matter how much power Xue Li possessed, he wouldn’t be able to harm him in the slightest!
“However, the defensive power provided by this Golden Scale Shield is dependent on my cultivation,” Qin Yefeng mused inwardly after carefully reviewing the Divine Dragon Inheritance.
“With this Golden Scale Shield, not only is Xue Li definitely no match for me, but even a Mid True Essence Realm expert might not gain an advantage against me, Qin Yefeng!” Qin Yefeng muttered.
As Qin Yefeng’s entire body erupted with Golden True Essence Power, he unleashed a full-powered punch. A Golden Dragon Pattern appeared on his arm.
The punch created a thunderous sonic boom in the air, slamming hard against the Golden Scale Shield.
A surge of Golden Light Energy flowed from the Golden Scale Battle Shield, directly neutralizing most of Qin Yefeng’s power, with only a small amount of energy transferring back to his hand.
That punch weighed at least ten thousand Jin, yet the Golden Scale Shield remained completely still. He hadn’t expected this Second Revolution Object to possess such formidable defensive power!
Moreover, with the formation of the Little Qin Yefeng Golden Body in his Soul Sea, it meant that his Soul Power had also increased significantly.
