Chapter 1242 Dragon Goddess Yeyou's Soul
1242 Dragon Goddess Yeyou's Soul
Yuan found himself profoundly shaken as Dragon Goddess Yeyou materialized before him, emerging from thin air. Yet, as he snapped out of his daze and observed her form more closely, he noticed that she appeared semi-
transparent as if she were naught but a ghost—an illusion.
"Dragon Goddess Yeyou? Why are you—" Yuan tried calling out to her, only to halt abruptly as a mysterious furrow formed on her brow, seemingly displeased about something.
Suddenly, without any further explanation, Dragon Goddess Yeyou disappeared like a cloud of smoke, and the Dragon's Soul reappeared in Yuan's grasp.
[Dragon's Soul]
[Level: 0]
[Rank: Soul Weapon]
[Growth Rate: Fast]
[Requirement: ???]
[Description: A beautiful golden spear with an unknown origin. It is shrouded with a mysterious aura that will render all spiritual energy useless.]
'Partially?' Yuan wondered inwardly.
"W-What in heaven's name was that about?! Who was that beauty just now?!" Xi Meili exclaimed a moment later, her voice tinged with bewilderment and astonishment.
"That person was Dragon Goddess Yeyou…" Yuan responded.
"What?! That was Dragon Goddess Yeyou?!" Xi Meili became even more shocked after learning of this information.
"So the Dragon's Soul is actually related to Dragon Goddess Yeyou… No wonder why it reacted to you, who is the reincarnation of the Immortal Monarch." Xi Meili said.
"Do you have any idea why or how Dragon Goddess Yeyou showed up just now?" Yuan asked a moment later.
"Unfortunately, I have never seen or heard of anything like this before." Xi Meili shook her head.
"I have." Xiao Hua's voice suddenly resounded.
"Really?" Yuan was pleasantly surprised and eagerly awaited her explanation.
"Un. While Soul Weapons may attain a form of consciousness, they can never become a real soul on their own. However, they do possess the capacity to house another's soul, should someone choose to bestow one within. Although I cannot state this with absolute certainty, it is conceivable that Dragon Goddess Yeyou's very soul may have been placed within this Soul Weapon, and what you witnessed moments ago could have been a manifestation of her soul," Xiao Hua explained.
Yuan swallowed nervously at the notion that Dragon Goddess Yeyou's soul could be resting within the Dragon's Soul.
"If she is really inside the Dragon's Soul, is there any way to bring her out?" Yuan then asked.
"Even if there is a way to do so, it wouldn't be a good idea." Xiao Hua said while shaking her head. "After all, she is only a soul without her body at this moment. If you bring her out of the Soul Weapon in her state, her soul will definitely disappear, or worse, be destroyed."
Hearing this, Yuan felt helpless.
"Is there really no way to help her?" He sighed.
"As Xiao Hua said, we don't know if it really contains Dragon Goddess Yeyou's soul. What happened just now could be an entirely different matter." Xi Meili suddenly said. "For now, we should try to learn more about the Soul Weapon before we start trying things."
Yuan nodded, "You're right. I shouldn't be so impatient. If it really contains Dragon Goddess Yeyou's soul, I'm sure we'll figure out how to bring her out safely— if that's even what she desires."
Sometime later, Yuan stored the Dragon's Soul inside his body alongside Empyrean Overlord and Starry Abyss.
"So, are we ready to leave now?" Yuan asked Xi Meili, who quickly nodded.
"Wait." Feng Yuxiang's voice suddenly resounded.
"What's the matter?" Yuan asked.
"We're fine right now because we're still inside the Nameless Emperor's Tomb, but once we go outside, Xi Meili's cultivation will be too high for the Third Heaven, and she might be forced to ascend." Feng Yuxiang reminded him that only those below Spirit Emperor could remain in the Third Heaven, and Xi Meili was a Spirit Emperor.
"You're right… I completely forgot about this rule…" Yuan facepalmed.
"There's an easy fix to that. I can simply restrict my cultivation to Spirit King." Xi Meili closed her eyes and began suppressing her cultivation base until it reached the peak of Spirit King, just like Yuan.
"Will that really work?" Yuan wondered out loud.
"It should… as long as she doesn't cause a scene in the Third Heaven." Feng Yuxiang said.
"I won't do anything like that. I promise." Xi Meili swore with a smile.
Sometime later, Yuan teleported them outside the Nameless Emperor's Tomb.
Meanwhile, outside the Nameless Emperor's Tomb, Zhaohui's eyebrows twitched when he sensed two unfamiliar presences appearing nearby. He stopped cultivating and stood up.
"Hey, I sense two presences outside the tomb, and they appeared out of thin air, just like those people who had already left the Nameless Emperor's Tomb," he said, notifying Xiong Lu.
"It must be him!" Xiong Lu clenched his fist in anticipation as he turned to look at the entrance of the Nameless Emperor's Tomb, and sure enough, there were now two individuals who weren't there just moments ago— a young man and a young woman.
Xiong Lu focused on the young man, and a wide smile appeared on his face when he recognized Yuan's face.
"It's really him! That's him!" Xiong Lu confirmed for Zhaohui.
"I finally have a chance to beat him up!" Xiong Lu immediately started walking towards Yuan, but he was quickly stopped by Zhaohui.
"They're both Peak Spirit Kings. You won't even be able to hurt one of them, much less defeat them." Zhaohui warned him.
"What?! Peak Spirit King?! That means he's at the same cultivation level as you! How's that possible?!" Xiong Lu was shocked to learn that Yuan had already reached Peak Spirit King while he was only a First Level Spirit Lord.
"Fuck! Just as I thought we could mess with him!" Xiong Lu cursed.
"What are you talking about, you idiot? I don't know how they managed to achieve Peak Spirit King at that age in this realm, but they're still too young and inexperienced. I won't lose to them even if I have to fight both of them at once." Zhaohui showed a cold smile on his face, and he stared at Yuan like a hunter before its prey.
"Stay here and watch how this expert deals with them. It won't take long, either." Zhaohui proceeded to leave Xiong Lu behind as he started walking in Yuan's direction with a confident aura around him.
