1851 Inside the Soul Space

To take the treasures out of the Azure Dragon's Soul Space, Alex had to do nothing but force his Dao of Space around the slim sword's blade and cut into his chest through it.

He had to cut deep within the chest where the Soul Space was and bring the treasures out through there.

Given how easy the task was, Alex completed it immediately, cutting through the Azure Dragon's soul space. As soon as the Soul Space was torn open, Alex sent his spiritual sense into the Soul Space and began dragging everything that was inside of it out.

Unfortunately, there weren't many things inside of the Azure Dragon's soul space. It appeared that either he had kept his items somewhere else, or he had spent most of his treasures somewhere else.

"He went through two Heavenly Judgments," Alex said softly. "And he had to fight the Godkiller himself. It's understandable he doesn't have that many things."

Pearl floated next to the group of treasures that had come out. "This isn't too many?" he asked.

"I doubt it is too many for Immortals," Alex said. He looked through the.

A few pills, a few minor treasures, some destroyed pieces of treasures, some small ingredients, some talismans, and finally some spirit stones.

There were also a lot and lot of empty wooden boxes, bottles, and what not.

There were not many spirit stones in there, just a couple hundred to a thousand. It didn't seem that impressive to Alex, but that was only until he checked what sort of spirit stones they were.

"Wait… is that Immortal Spirit stones?" Alex asked as he felt the aura coming out from the Spirit stones. His heart started beating faster and faster.

"No way! That's… that's Immortal Spirit stones," he said. The spirit stones were much stronger and far more potent in aura than regular Saint spirit stones. Not only that, they glowed brightly as well, lighting up the rest of the treasures around there.

"I don't recognize much of the rest of the items here," Alex said, looking through the rest.

Most of the pills were Saint pills, which he immediately recognized, but there were 2 Immortal pills too, just based on their aura.

There were certainly no pill veins to them, which made the pills much worse than they could be.

Alex looked through the treasures, especially the broken ones, which he realized were bits of metal that formed a spear of some sort. It was a green spear and seemed to be of much better quality than what the Dragon Emperor used.

Only, it was completely broken.

'There is some space aura to it,' Alex thought. Whether that was because of the metal or because of the owner, Alex did not know.

"We can try and see if we can repurpose this broken spear into something for you to use. I don't know if I can do it right at this time though. Might have to wait until I'm an Immortal," Alex said.

"I can wait," Pearl said. "I wouldn't mind even keeping it just like this. I am fine with that too."

Alex said nothing and went on to look through the rest of the treasures. Two of the treasures were teleportation treasures. Alex could tell that by the aura, but he would have to check it more to see what they were.

There was one treasure similar to his Mirror, which was a ring of some sort. Alex did not know what that did either, but could tell that it was 'empty'. He would have to test it out later as well.

"No formations," Alex noted. "I wonder if he used it all up to protect himself during the first Heavenly Judgment." In the same way, there weren't many healing treasures either, as well as no sort of defensive treasures.

What remained in the end were just some talismans.

A few of the talismans were communication talismans, which Alex had little use for. There weren't many talismans with the Azure Dragon that were of much use to Alex it seemed.

All except for a single one. This one seemed very special in the sense that the Azure Dragon had kept it safely in a wooden box that itself could be considered a treasure.

If not for the fact that Alex could only use his senses in his Soul Space and had already seen through the box, he would've certainly wondered if the box held some sort of power.

He looked inside the box and frowned. The talisman was simply incomprehensible to him. Of course, there were runes that he perfectly understood, but those were minor runes.

He had no idea what the major runes that were the basis of the talisman were or how they functioned. As a result, he simply did not know what this talisman was about.

'Maybe mother knows?' Alex wondered, but that seemed impossible too. He had read the talisman book that his mother had received and the runes in this talisman were not recorded in that book.

He had come across a talisman he simply did not understand. "I might have to ask your grandfather what this is," he said to Pearl. "As it stands, I have zero clue."

He put the box aside, letting it all gather around Pearl for the moment, while he began moving everything in that location close to where the plants were.

It was time for him to do with the corpse what he had said he would. It was time to give the corpse to the World Tree.

Alex had debated upon which of the two trees, he should give the corpse to for a while now, finding the benefits of giving either one of the plants.

However, in the end, he realized that it simply did not matter which plant he gave it to as the end result was the same.

The World Tree took in energy to grow and used the excess to turn into weak Qi, which would permeate its surroundings, captured by the formation Alex had created around the trees.

Similarly, the Nine Yang Divine Tree took in the energy to burn itself brightly like the sun, releasing light just like a sun.

The Qi from the World Tree would help the Yang Tree in the end, and the sunlight from the Yang Tree would help the World Tree in the end.

It was a constant back and forth of energy, of which only part of it was given to the outside world as of this moment.

So, it did not matter which one got the corpse, as the other one would receive the benefit too. The only reason Alex chose to give it to the World Tree instead was because the World Tree had so much more to grow and would need every little help it could get.

So, Alex decided to help it instead at the moment.

Pearl followed his father as they moved toward the bright light. Far away, it appeared as though they were looking at a burning tree, that got closer and closer as they moved.

This close, Pearl could feel the sunlight on his face, feel the tiniest hint of heat on his face. The Yang tree burned like a true sun.

"This is the furthest you can safely go, Pearl," Alex said. "Say your goodbyes here, and I can complete the rest."
