Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Nine-leaf Soul-Gathering Bamboo!

This was an extremely rare Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence.

Ling Fei had once read about it in an ancient text.

This plant was nurtured by absorbing Yin Soul Qi. If consumed, it could condense a person's Soul Power and strengthen their soul.

If a Demon Beast consumed it, it could even gain Spiritual Wisdom.

'My True Dragon Refining God Technique has already generated Soul Power, reaching the Realm of Soul Penetration. One more step and I can reach the Soul Power Transformation Realm. If I achieve Soul Power Transformation, my Soul Power will undergo a qualitative leap, and I'll finally be able to use the True Dragon Roar at will.' Ling Fei's heart pounded in his chest.

If he could use the True Dragon Roar at will, he wouldn't have been so powerless when those Cultivators besieged him before.

He could channel the True Dragon Roar, controlling the sonic waves to sweep out in all directions. If he could do that, who among his peers could possibly surround and kill him?

A situation like last time would never happen again.

Last time, his soul had felt exhausted after every all-out attack!

'I never thought I'd encounter this kind of Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence. It seems heaven hasn't forsaken me after all!' Ling Fei was overjoyed at the thought.

If his Soul Power grew stronger, so too would his trump card.

'I might even be able to explore the secrets of my spine.' Ling Fei was full of anticipation, a fervent light igniting in his eyes.

Falling into the Abyss of Extinction this time had left him feeling somewhat oppressed.

Even though he was alive, becoming a top expert was easier said than done.

Now, an opportunity had presented itself. How could he not be happy?

'There are no Demon Beasts nearby.' After a quick scan of the area, Ling Fei continued forward.

Soon, he arrived next to the Nine-leaf Soul-Gathering Bamboo.

The moment he drew near, Ling Fei sensed an extremely dense soul aura.

At the same time, he could clearly feel the Yin Soul Qi in the area being drawn toward the Nine-leaf Soul-Gathering Bamboo.

Ling Fei murmured as he stared at the Soul Shadow coalescing above the Nine-leaf Soul-Gathering Bamboo, 'According to the ancient texts, Soul Qi forming a Soul Shadow is a sign that the Nine-leaf Soul-Gathering Bamboo is mature. If one can absorb the condensed Soul Shadow, it can increase their Soul Power. However, this Soul Power is impure. Absorbing it rashly can easily damage the soul. Only those who cultivate a Soul Dao Secret Technique can absorb this Soul Qi.' He cultivated the True Dragon Refining God Technique, which was perfect for absorbing this Soul Shadow.

This Soul Shadow was, in reality, condensed from the essence of Soul Qi.

However, because this Soul Qi was likely condensed from the lingering Yin Soul Qi of fallen people, it evolved into a Soul Shadow.

'I cultivate the True Dragon Refining God Technique. I can absorb it completely.' Ling Fei's gaze sharpened, and he sat down cross-legged before the Nine-leaf Soul-Gathering Bamboo.

Then, he activated the True Dragon Refining God Technique, and a Qi Vortex formed between his eyebrows.

WHOOSH!

The Qi Vortex manifested like the mouth of a great dragon, fiercely pulling the Soul Shadow from above the Nine-leaf Soul-Gathering Bamboo toward it.

The next moment, the Soul Shadow transformed into Soul Essence Qi and entered Ling Fei's mind. A vortex formed before his soul and began to refine the Soul Qi.

The Soul Qi was violent, impossible for an ordinary person to absorb.

However, under the refinement of Ling Fei's True Dragon Refining God Technique, the Soul Qi was purified into Soul Essence Qi and absorbed by his soul.

Replenished by the Soul Qi, Ling Fei's Soul Power was instantly restored to its peak.

Moreover, he could feel his soul continuously growing stronger.

His Soul Power surged, and the Cold Chi True Qi within his body began to circulate, rushing into his mind to temper Ling Fei's soul.

It was just like tempering Blood Qi.

Finally, after half an hour, Ling Fei's soul trembled as Soul Essence was generated within it.

This Soul Essence was like the True Qi in a person's body; it had become a tangible existence, profoundly mysterious, and no longer the ethereal Soul Power it once was.

Ling Fei's soul had also become much more powerful.

A new aura spontaneously erupted from him.

'I've reached the Soul Power Transformation Realm!' Ling Fei rejoiced as he sensed the changes in his soul.

Then, he continued to absorb the Soul Qi.

Two hours later, the Soul Qi had been completely absorbed.

'Time to consume the Nine-leaf Soul-Gathering Bamboo.' Ling Fei then opened his eyes, his gaze falling upon the plant before him.

Its nine leaves were thick, with the essence of Soul Qi condensed upon them. They were as smooth as jade, untouched by dust.

Ling Fei plucked a leaf and swallowed it.

Immediately, a dense wave of Soul Qi surged into his body, drawn into his mind by the Qi Vortex manifested by the True Dragon Refining God Technique.

Instantly, Soul Essence began to generate unceasingly within Ling Fei's soul.

An hour later, Ling Fei had refined all nine leaves. His Soul Power had increased tremendously. The Soul Essence flowed within him, containing an extremely dense concentration of Soul Power. If he were to use the True Dragon Roar now, its power would surely skyrocket. Furthermore, with the increase in his Soul Power, Ling Fei's Control Power would also improve.

With this, he could direct the True Dragon Roar in all eight directions when he used it.

'Now that my Soul Power has increased, it's time to probe the space within my spine again.' After he stopped cultivating, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit sank into his spine.

Then, his Heart Spirit reappeared before the curtain of light that sealed the True Dragon.

Within the curtain of light, the True Dragon would sometimes coil and at other times transform into a pen, floating in the Void.

Ling Fei extended his Heart Spirit to sense it again. A Light Pattern flashed, and he was drawn into that space.

Then, Ling Fei saw the True Dragon coil before instantly transforming into a Dragon Pen, which hovered in the air.

Dao Patterns swirled around the Dragon Pen, exuding a mysterious aura. When Ling Fei sensed it, he felt as if he were facing a vast Star River, and his heart was filled with utter shock.

The Dao Patterns were profound and inscrutable.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, the Dao Patterns swirled, forming a spatial vortex that enveloped Ling Fei's Heart Spirit.

But in the instant he was enveloped, a True Dragon seemed to appear before Ling Fei's eyes once more.

In the end, however, he felt his Heart Spirit sink into a pen refined from Dragon Bone.

"In the vast heavens and earth, chaos reigned at the beginning, and all things were ignorant... The world was forged, Yin and Yang were divided... There was a True Dragon as the ancestor, who grasped order, controlled reincarnation, and transcended all living things... Since the Ancient Era, during the war of the Divine Demons, the heavens and earth were shattered... The Dragon Ancestor took its own bone, refined the Dragon Pen, drove out the Evil Demons, and with this Righteous Dao, supported the world...!"

As Ling Fei's Heart Spirit sank into the Dragon Bone Pen, a voice like the sound of the Great Dao itself echoed in his mind.

'The Dragon Ancestor took its bone to refine a pen?' As the voice rang out, Ling Fei's heart stirred. He was beginning to understand what was going on.

This pen was refined from Dragon Bone.

That was why it sometimes transformed into a dragon and other times into a pen.

Then, Ling Fei felt an inexplicable connection form between himself and the Dragon Bone Pen.

It was as if his soul had left a spiritual imprint on the Dragon Bone Pen.

"The Dragon Bone Pen is also known as the Pen of Order. To control this pen, one must possess a corresponding level of Soul Power..." After the spiritual imprint was left on the Dragon Bone Pen, more information flooded into Ling Fei's mind. This gave him a greater understanding of the artifact—it was an incomparably mysterious Dragon Pen.

It possessed Divine Power beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

However, to unleash its special abilities, one had to reach the corresponding Realm.

That was why Ling Fei could only make contact with the pen after reaching the Soul Power Transformation Realm.

And this was only the beginning.
