Chapter 1117 - 1140: True Identity
Chu Linfeng glanced at the nearby crystal coffin and said, "Why are you calling me master? What’s going on? What is the connection between us?"
"You possess the Ancestral Dragon bloodline, or rather, you are the reincarnation of the Ancestral Dragon from eons ago. The successful emergence of the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon proves that the master’s reincarnation is successful. Back then, I was merely a servant by the master’s side, a Taixu Cyan Dragon. All of us perished in that great battle then but retained the Life Seed for reincarnation. It’s truly incredible for me to see you today."
"What kind of dragon is a Taixu Cyan Dragon? How come I have never heard of it? You turned from a follower of the Ancestral Dragon to the Jade Immortal Emperor?" Chu Linfeng asked in wonder.
"Back in the day, I was the first War General at the Ancestral Dragon’s side. During the Divine War, both the Ancestral Dragon and I fell, but we preserved the Life Seed. After countless reincarnations, I became the Jade Immortal Emperor. However, during my Divine Tribulation, I encountered the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Tribulation. Six out of the seven souls crossed over successfully, but the last soul was scattered by the divine thunder, leaving only three residual souls."
Over these two million years, even the three souls dwindled to just one soul, seeking someone who could restore my body. Meeting you now, master, seems destined." the Jade Immortal Emperor’s residual soul said.
Chu Linfeng grew more curious and asked, "Where did your other six souls go? Could it be they ascended to the Divine Realm?"
"Indeed, my other six souls ascended to the Divine Realm. Without the three souls, the six souls sealed themselves upon ascending, hoping this one soul could reshape its body, ascend, and integrate. Although this opportunity is incredibly slim, meeting you, master, makes it much easier." Jade Immortal Emperor’s residual soul said.
Chu Linfeng grew increasingly astonished as he listened, unable to fathom such occurrences. It’s simply unprecedented that souls ascend to the Immortal Realm while the body remains behind, a tale no one would believe, and yet it happened.
"Why go through so much just to have someone retrieve your treasures if it’s merely to restore your body? Even if your body is restored, what then? You are merely a fragment of a soul; restoring your body would make you akin to a walking corpse. Why bother?" Chu Linfeng queried.
"With my body restored, I have my plans. I can also endure the Divine Tribulation and then ascend to the Divine Realm to unite with my other six souls. The remaining two spirits will emerge over time. Currently, I wish to reincarnate, but with no means, I haven’t done so yet.
The Heaven and Earth Laws do not permit such a circumstance, but meeting you, master, enables me to abandon the idea of restoring my body. Once you ascend to the Divine Realm, I can follow suit and naturally restore my body then." Jade Immortal Emperor said.
At this moment, Chu Linfeng felt like he was dreaming; the Jade Immortal Emperor was unexpectedly his follower. Such an unbelievable matter happened to him, and his other six souls had ascended to the Divine Realm while one soul remained in the Immortal Realm.
"What do you need me to do? Restore your body or what? If restoring your body is necessary, I believe I have the ability to do so. You can consider it." Chu Linfeng said at this time.
"Restoring the body is unnecessary. Now I’ve met you, master, I naturally hope to stay by your side. You just need to find a Storage Ring and place me inside it. There are many treasures from the Immortal Realm here that I believe will be of great use to you." Jade Immortal Emperor’s residual soul said.
Chu Linfeng, intrigued, asked, "What treasures are there? Let’s hear them. See if I can use them. You should know I carry many treasures, and if they are too inferior, I won’t be interested."
"Master, these items are quite exceptional in the Immortal Realm; each one is top grade. Do you see those three sealed places by the Light Element? That’s where the three top grade Immortal Artifacts are, each with an Artifact Spirit.
Within my crystal coffin lies a top grade magical treasure named Sky Mirror. Inputting Immortal Spirit Power can unleash the Light Element to attack foes. The stronger the power level, the greater the Sky Mirror’s potency. It’s indeed a rare light attribute magical treasure." Jade Immortal Emperor’s residual soul said.
Chu Linfeng felt somewhat moved and asked, "Since it’s so powerful, do you have any Light Energy crystals here? Something higher than the Light Spirit Pearl?"
This was what Chu Linfeng truly sought. Light Element is too rare, so many people don’t even know of its existence. Breaking through the Second Layer of Light Transformation is extremely difficult. Since the Jade Immortal Emperor is well-versed in the Light Element, it’s natural to ask her.
"Master, seeking Light Energy Crystal Stone? That’s easy to handle. There’s a Bright Glaze Crystal inside the crystal coffin here, which you can take anytime. But you should note there’s some difficulty breaking open the crystal coffin. It’s a protective item for my residual soul, very solid, and there’s a strong restriction that needs you, master, to break open."
"Such trouble? How do we break the restriction? It’s not another Light Element restriction, is it?" Chu Linfeng said, feeling dejected.
"It indeed is a Light Element restriction, but since you broke the external Light restriction easily, I believe you can break the restriction on the crystal coffin as well. Both are entirely identical." Jade Immortal Emperor said.
Chu Linfeng then crossed the pond and approached the crystal coffin, carefully sensing the fluctuations of Light Elemental molecules on it. He soon achieved resonance, effortlessly breaking the restriction.
With a thought, Light Elemental molecules swiftly dispersed to reveal the crystal coffin’s true nature. Chu Linfeng touched it and surprisingly felt some residual warmth, finding it odd, "Why is it warm? Could it be it’s not crystal?"
"It appears to be a crystal coffin but is made of Ten-Thousand-Year Warm Jade. This Warm Jade nurtures souls, preventing my residual soul from dissipating within. However, Warm Jade is inherently hard as gold and stone, so breaking it is somewhat difficult.
The Warm Jade coffin was initially joined together but over time, the Warm Jade elemental molecules fused, forming an entire Warm Jade Hence, to obtain the Sky Mirror and Bright Glaze Crystal, it must be broken; naturally, my residual soul will also emerge. Please, master, take me in."
"Don’t keep calling me master, just call me Lin Feng; I’ll call you Jade. Rest assured, I will definitely help you; now let me see how hard this Warm Jade truly is." Chu Linfeng said, with the Cyan Frost Divine Sword appearing in his hand...
PS: This Chapter was written in an internet cafe; the updates this month have been evident to everyone. I won’t discontinue unless necessary, but today Xiao Xiao is powerless. Due to days of heavy rain, the water level has risen; there was a power outage yesterday afternoon. Those who think it’s an excuse can choose not to read. I’ll diligently make up for the missed Chapters.
This Chapter was written hurriedly. My family called, saying the water has reached the riverbank. Xiao Xiao must return home, or I’ll be unable to return if the main road floods. Your understanding is appreciated!
