Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

When the Restriction was triggered, Grand Elder Fang immediately sensed Ling Fei's aura.

'Ling Fei's soul aura is still present.' Seeing the aura on the Waist Token, Grand Elder Fang let out a sigh of relief.

He and Ling Fei were connected by their Waist Tokens.

If Ling Fei had perished, the soul aura on it would have dissipated.

Ling Fei's soul aura was still there, which meant he was fine.

In the Void, Sect Leader Yuan smiled faintly. 'It seems Ling Fei really came prepared.'

At this point, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

If Ling Fei had something to rely on, he wouldn't have to be so worried.

'I've been tricked!' Nearby, Beiming Huahai's expression was incredibly dark.

Although it was only the loss of twenty-some Celestial Pill Realm powerhouses, it infuriated him.

This meant that in this confrontation, their Beiming Sword Sect was at a disadvantage.

Everything seemed to be part of the Lingyun Sect's calculations.

"What should we do?" The elders of the Beiming Sword Sect were also filled with anxiety.

Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses had perished in the Mysterious Abyss ahead before.

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to enter rashly.

What's more, the Restriction had now been triggered.

Besides, they had previously declared that Nascent Soul Realm Powerhouses would not interfere.

If they were to act now, the combined forces of the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple and the Lingyun Sect would be difficult for even their Beiming Sword Sect to handle.

WHOOSH!

Just as everyone was looking on with apprehension, a glint flashed in Beiming Huahai's eyes in the Void. His Heart Spirit, sharp as a sword, seeped into the Mist Mountain Abyss.

He wanted to probe the situation inside himself.

OMM!

Where his Heart Spirit reached, ripples spread through that patch of the Void.

Then, the Restriction's Light Patterns in the mountain abyss shot skyward, erupting with astonishing fluctuations that clashed with Beiming Huahai's Heart Spirit.

BANG!

A loud noise echoed as Beiming Huahai's Heart Spirit shattered.

At the same time, his body trembled violently.

'Damn it! After so many years, the Restriction here is still this powerful.' Beiming Huahai couldn't help but curse inwardly.

Many years ago, he had come here to probe and had discovered the Restriction then.

To think that after a century, the Restriction was still just as strong.

'This Restriction must have been left by a Divine Platform Realm powerhouse.' With a hint of gravity, he immediately withdrew his Heart Spirit.

"Fellow Daoist Beiming, what is the meaning of this?" Just then, Master Xuan Ji, who was nearby, frowned.

At the same time, a powerful aura from him locked onto Beiming Huahai.

"Fellow Daoist Beiming, are you trying to break the rules?" Yuan Huaitian questioned him in the same manner.

After all, if the Restriction hadn't been there, the powerful Divine Thought Beiming Huahai had just sent into the mountain abyss would have very likely killed Ling Fei.

"Rest assured, everyone. I said I would not interfere, and I will not. I merely wanted to see what was so special about that mountain abyss," Beiming Huahai said with a dark face. Though he was very strong, he felt a certain apprehension at this moment. If Master Xuan Ji and Yuan Huaitian were to join forces, he would most likely be defeated.

"That would be for the best. Otherwise, do not blame me for being merciless," Master Xuan Ji said in a deep voice.

Beiming Huahai's eyelid twitched, and he said no more.

However, his Heart Spirit was still focused on the mountain abyss ahead.

'Judging by the looks of Yuan Huaitian and the others, Ling Fei is clearly not dead. But why is he unharmed?' Beiming Huahai mused.

After all, even he couldn't break through the mountain abyss's Restriction by force, let alone a mere Small Primordial Pill Realm brat.

It wasn't just Beiming Huahai who was suspicious; at this moment, people from nearly every major Sect were completely astonished.

'I wonder if that Ling Fei is dead or not?' many people wondered inwardly.

...

「At this moment, within the mountain abyss.」

'Such dense Dragon Qi.' Ling Fei walked cautiously through a cave. With just a deep breath, he could sense a vast wave of Dragon Qi rushing toward him.

This Dragon Qi was incredibly pure and even carried a hint of a True Dragon's Might. It was countless times stronger than the Dragon Qi he had obtained in Longtan Town.

Upon arriving here, the Dragon Bone in his back hummed and trembled, seeming to stir restlessly.

This cave was, naturally, one that the Marsh King had visited before.

Back then, the Marsh King had discovered some Spiritual Essence inside, but it hadn't fully matured. So he left a Restriction here, intending to return for it another day.

One must know, the Marsh King was a figure who had dominated the Southern Wilderness. His Cultivation was on the verge of breaking through the Divine Mansion Realm.

How could a Restriction left by such a figure be broken by an ordinary person?

Even after a thousand years, Beiming Huahai still couldn't easily break this Array.

However, with the Marsh King's guidance, Ling Fei could enter the Array without having to break it.

YA!

Upon entering the cave, Yiyi immediately jumped out.

The little guy poked its head out, sensing for something.

Previously, when Ling Fei was fighting Beishan Yun, Yiyi had been itching to take action itself.

But Ling Fei hadn't wanted to expose Yiyi's strength, so he hadn't let it appear. Now that it had a chance to come out, it was naturally delighted.

YA!

Yiyi's gemstone-like eyes darted around and quickly locked onto the edge of a rock formation up ahead.

There, he saw a two-foot-long, dragon-shaped Spiritual Essence. A mist swirled around it, looking as if it might coalesce into the form of a True Dragon.

'It's Dragon Spirit Grass!' Ling Fei's heart leaped with joy upon seeing the Spiritual Essence. 'The Essence Qi is overflowing and vaporizing into the shape of a dragon. This is clearly the sign of a mature Dragon Spirit Grass.'

'If I refine this Dragon Spirit Grass, my soul and my physique will both undergo a transformation.'

The Dragon Spirit Grass was, in fact, one of Ling Fei's objectives for coming to the Falling Star Mountain Range.

After all, this Dragon Spirit Grass was nurtured by absorbing True Dragon Essence Qi.

Essence Qi could evidently nourish the soul.

Right now, Ling Fei's Soul Power had already reached the point of liquid transformation.

If he took another step, a qualitative transformation would occur.

Without a hint of hesitation, Ling Fei immediately plucked the Dragon Spirit Grass and began to refine it.

Beside him, Yiyi blinked its eyes. It had discovered another Spiritual Essence—a dragon-shaped fruit that shimmered with golden light, like a dragon spirit.

And so, both Yiyi and Ling Fei began to refine the Spiritual Essence.

As the Dragon Spirit Grass entered his mouth and its Essence Qi was drawn into his body, Ling Fei immediately felt as if countless True Dragons were surging into him.

His meridians, muscles, and internal organs were all withstanding the impact of immense Power.

If he hadn't already practiced the True Dragon Body Refining Technique, making his physique incredibly strong, this Dragon Qi alone would have been enough to make him explode.

'Worthy of being called Dragon Spirit Grass!' Feeling the tyrannical nature of the Dragon Qi, Ling Fei was overjoyed.

Because this was merely the overflowing Dragon Qi.

The Essence Qi within the stem and roots of the Dragon Spirit Grass was the true prize.

'True Dragon Body Refining Technique!' Ling Fei quickly activated the True Dragon Body Refining Technique to absorb the Dragon Qi.

Then, he activated the True Dragon Refining God Technique to guide the Essence Qi and temper his soul.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Under the guidance of Ling Fei's Cultivation Technique, the chaotic streams of Dragon Qi began to be guided in an orderly fashion, to be continuously absorbed and fused by Ling Fei.

First, the Dragon Qi tempered his body, being constantly absorbed by his bones and meridians.

After absorbing this Dragon Qi, a dragon's roar seemed to echo from his bones and tendons.

Second, the Dragon Qi tempered his soul. In Ling Fei's mind, his soul grew continually stronger, and a Dragon's Might steadily accumulated.

This continued for a full day.

'Is the Essence Qi in the Dragon Spirit Grass exhausted?' After one day, Ling Fei opened his eyes. The Dragon Spirit Essence Qi within his body had now dissipated.

"Right now, my body tempering and soul tempering are only about a third of the way complete," Ling Fei murmured, a glint in his eyes.

This Body Tempering with Dragon Qi was to build his True Dragon Foundation, so the amount of Dragon Qi required was naturally immense.

After all, he wasn't using ordinary Dragon Qi for his Foundation Establishment.

He was using the very essence of the dragon—its Essence Qi—for his Foundation Establishment.
