Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

'Thankfully, there are still two stalks of Dragon Spirit Grass here.' Ling Fei's focus shifted, locking onto the other two stalks.

He then plucked them and continued his Body Tempering.

Beside him, Yiyi was also constantly absorbing Spiritual Essence Qi to restore its foundation.

...

Time flowed by quietly.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, the Beiming Sword Sect, Wind Watching Cliff, Dongze Sect, and Thousand Lakes Mountain also sent people to the Mist Mountain Abyss to investigate the situation.

However, the disciples from the various sects were completely unable to approach the area where the Restriction had been triggered. As such, no one could learn of Ling Fei's condition.

This caused the expressions of Beiming Huahai and the others to grow increasingly grim.

"I refuse to believe he won't come out. As soon as he appears, we'll kill him." The Beiming Sword Sect's killing intent only intensified.

Many of the sect's geniuses were summoned to surround and eliminate Ling Fei.

Of course, the elders of the Beiming Sword Sect also bestowed many Profound Spirit Treasures upon them to enhance their combat strength.

Thus, more and more geniuses gathered near the Mountain Abyss. Ling Fei had not yet emerged, but the atmosphere was already that of a gathering storm.

"Sect Leader, the current situation is not in our favor!" Behind Sect Leader Yuan, several Peak Masters wore looks of deep concern.

The Beiming Sword Sect and the other three sects had spared no expense, sending their genius disciples here to kill Ling Fei.

Even if the Lingyun Sect sent its own people, they still couldn't compare. It would only trigger a bloody battle, and who knew how many geniuses would fall then.

This was clearly not a result they could bear.

Without this core strength, a sect's foundation could easily become unstable.

But if they didn't send anyone, could Ling Fei contend with so many people all by himself?

Although the Great Sun Thunder Sound Temple had allied with them...

...without seeing the Great Sun Golden Core Master, it was clear that Master Xuan Ji would not send his own disciples to their deaths.

Therefore, at this moment, the Lingyun Sect still had to rely on itself.

Master Xuan Ji's presence this time was merely to show his support.

"Things have come to this. We can only take it one step at a time," Yuan Huaitian said.

"One step at a time?" the nearby Peak Masters frowned.

However, Yuan Huaitian was not overly concerned.

'For Ling Fei to survive the Restriction being triggered, he must have some sort of backing,' Sect Leader Yuan thought.

Thinking about it again, his resolve hardened.

'Without some kind of assurance, why would Ling Fei have been so determined to come to the Falling Star Mountain Range in the first place?'

"Now, it's all up to him," Sect Leader Yuan murmured. All he could do was continue to show his support and prevent the experts of the other sects from making a move.

...

「Inside the cave in the Mountain Abyss.」

Within Ling Fei's body, his muscles and bones had been completely tempered by Dragon Qi.

WHOOSH!

When the Dragon Qi in his body was fully integrated, he moved slightly, and his bones emitted the sound of a dragon's cry.

His physique had now clearly forged the True Dragon Foundation.

Of course, the True Dragon Foundation was just that—a foundation. He had not yet forged a True Dragon Body.

'Forging the True Dragon Foundation feels incredible,' Ling Fei's eyes burned with intensity. 'Before, I had the sensation of turning into a dragon, but it felt illusory, like rootless duckweed. It had no foundation. But now, my foundation is stable. I can forge the True Dragon Body at any time, Transform into a True Dragon, and soar through the heavens.'

Once he forged the True Dragon Body, he would be able to continuously bring out the full potential of his various techniques.

Such as the Power of the Dragon Bone.

And the True Dragon's Eye!

'My body's foundation is sufficient now, but my soul is still lacking.' With a thought, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit sank into his mind.

After tempering his soul with Dragon Qi, Ling Fei's soul had also absorbed a large amount of True Dragon Essence Qi, gaining a hint of Dragon's Might.

Imperceptibly, his aura had risen.

However, he was still one step away: inducing a qualitative change in his soul.

'The first layer of the Soul Dao is Soul Penetration, which allows one to perceive the most minute external objects. The Second Layer is Soul Power Transformation. The third is Gang Transformation. The Fourth Layer is Soul Power Liquid. As for the fifth layer, it is Transformed Knowledge. Transformed Knowledge is the transformation into Divine Sense. With a single flicker of Divine Thought, consciousness itself can become a weapon!'

Divine Sense...

'To truly condense it is far too difficult.'

In the Small Primordial Pill Realm, consciousness first begins to gestate.

At that stage, one merely reaches the Realm of Soul Penetration.

Just because Spiritual Sense is gestating does not mean it has been successfully formed.

It could be said that the strength of Ling Fei's Soul Power had long ago surpassed that of many Primordial Pill Realm Cultivators.

'Transformed Knowledge, Divine Sense, the divine... In a single thought, it can become a weapon. The "divine" refers to the Heart Spirit, and also to Divine Techniques. Divine Techniques... the seat of the Mystical.'

Ling Fei was constantly seeking enlightenment.

Before, Ling Fei's soul was just a mass of light and shadow—weak, blurry, and almost indistinct.

It was like a mass of Primordial Liquid without a focal point.

But now, his soul consciousness was condensing, gradually taking form and undergoing a metamorphosis.

And under the tempering of Dragon Qi, it now possessed Dragon's Might.

Of course, even so, his soul was like a candle's flickering flame, in danger of being extinguished at any moment. It still needed to be constantly strengthened.

'When the heart arrives, the spirit forms!' Ling Fei's mind was completely immersed. The dense Soul Liquid compressed continuously, and a consciousness seemed to be coalescing within.

As his Heart Spirit condensed, Ling Fei felt his thoughts become much clearer.

Countless Mysticals of Martial Arts also flooded his mind in that instant.

The True Dragon Mystical Technique, the Cold Dao Mystical, and the Sword Dao Mystical flooded his mind one by one.

Finally, these Mysticals fused into his soul.

Those Mysticals gradually transformed into patterns, and his soul became even more solid.

'Divine Sense, form!' As these patterns took shape, Ling Fei willed them together, guiding them into a single, complete pattern.

This pattern was branded onto the brow of his ethereal soul, forming what looked like a Divine Pattern.

On his physical brow, a Light Pattern flashed as well.

This Light Pattern, like Ling Fei's Divine Skill Pattern, vanished in an instant.

WHOOSH!

With the formation of the Divine Pattern, Ling Fei's eyes flashed, and a powerful aura swept out from between his brows.

'Now that my Divine Sense has formed, my Soul Power has already surpassed its previous level.' As the Divine Sense condensed, Ling Fei felt his soul brimming with Power.

He could even turn his soul into a weapon with a single thought, killing his enemies without a trace.

'Controlling Profound Spirit Treasures with my Soul Power will also become much easier.' With a thought, Ling Fei sent his Divine Sense into the Beiming Sword Shield.

As his Heart Spirit entered it, Ling Fei no longer felt that the Sword Intent within was vast and irresistible. His soul now stood firm within the sword's inner space, emanating its own aura to resist the formless Sword Intent. As a result, his control over this Sword Intent would far surpass what it was before.

Previously, Ling Fei had never dared to fully activate the Power of Inscription within the sword. If he did, his Heart Spirit would have been unable to withstand the immense Sword Intent.

But now, with his Divine Sense newly formed, he could unleash the powerful True Dragon's Might with a single flicker of his Divine Thought.

The change was simply a quantum leap.

Before, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit was like rootless duckweed. Now that it had transformed into Divine Sense, it was like a spirit that had taken root.

Within this spirit were contained the Mysticals of his Divine Techniques.

'If I were to activate this sword now, not even Beichen Feng's Beiming Sword Array could shake me in the slightest.' Ling Fei was filled with confidence.

The improvement to his soul had brought about a world-altering change.

'Now to check on my Dragon Bone.' After sensing his improved control over the Profound Spirit Sword, Ling Fei submerged his Heart Spirit into the spinal column in his back.

As his Heart Spirit sank into the Dragon Bone, Ling Fei could clearly feel that his control over it had become much more distinct.
