Chapter 313 312: Ling Fei's Goal
Inside the Dragon Bone Space stood a sealed barrier of light.
This barrier of light emanated an abstruse energy fluctuation.
'Break!' With a single thought, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit charged at the sealed barrier of light.
VMM!
The Light Patterns crumbled, shattered by Ling Fei's charge.
'What surprise will I find this time?' As the Seal shattered, Ling Fei was filled with anticipation.
Then, Ling Fei's Heart Spirit flickered. As Light Patterns flashed before him, he saw a series of incredibly complex Dragon Patterns.
These Dragon Patterns emanated an abstruse energy fluctuation.
'These are the Dragon Patterns from the Dragon Bone. They're also Forbidden Patterns.' A thought stirred in Ling Fei's mind as he observed them.
He had tried to use his Soul Power to sense and control the Dragon Bone Pen before, but it was covered in Dragon Patterns. Each layer was like a Restriction, making it impossible for him to even make contact.
It was all because he had been too weak.
And because his soul had been too weak, Ling Fei could only immerse his Heart Spirit in the Dragon Bone Space to barely wield a fraction of the Dragon Bone's Power.
But now, Ling Fei was beginning to make contact with the Forbidden Patterns within the Dragon Bone. This meant he was finally starting to tap into the Dragon Bone's true Power.
'These Dragon Patterns contain the Power of a Divine Technique!' As his Heart Spirit connected with them, Ling Fei discovered these Forbidden Patterns were like Divine Skill Patterns, each containing a special kind of Power.
It was similar to how condensing a Sword Intent Seed would form Sword Patterns, which would then become Sword Dao Divine Techniques Patterns.
Once triggered, those Sword Patterns could unleash terrifying Power.
Powerful Cultivators could even brand these Sword Patterns onto mountain cliffs or Weapons for others to study and comprehend over long periods.
'First, I'll see what kind of Inscription Pattern this is.' With a thought, Ling Fei extended his Heart Spirit to sense one of the Inscription Patterns before him.
The moment his Heart Spirit sank inside, a vast aura began to spread.
The Inscription Pattern acted like a Qi Vortex, pulling Ling Fei's Heart Spirit into its depths.
'This Inscription Pattern is for Seizing. When its Divine Technique is triggered, the Dragon Bone Pen can seize Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, people, and objects. It can even perform Soul Capturing!'
A moment later, Ling Fei was deeply shaken.
'It can seize people and objects, and even perform Soul Capturing!' Ling Fei thought. 'Soul Capturing... To pull the very soul from a person's mind... how terrifying is that?'
The soul is a person's foundation. Once it leaves the body, it becomes unmoored and is easily annihilated.
With that in mind, Ling Fei began to practice controlling this Inscription Pattern.
The Inscription Pattern contained immense Power. To control it, one first had to be able to withstand that Power.
In the past, Ling Fei's Soul Power had been insufficient to resist such might, let alone master the Mystical truths contained within.
For that very reason, when his Soul Power was lacking, Ling Fei had been completely unable to make contact with these Dao Patterns.
But things were different now. His soul had undergone a qualitative transformation, and he had condensed his Divine Sense.
'First, I need to properly comprehend the Mystical truths within.' Ling Fei then immersed his Heart Spirit, determined to comprehend the Mystical principles contained in the Inscription Pattern.
Nearby, Yiyi's aura was also steadily growing stronger.
Ya!
The little creature was wreathed in shimmering Light Patterns, among which were some fragmented Dao Patterns.
However, under the influence of the Dragon Qi, its fragmented Dao Patterns were gradually connecting and mending.
Though the mending process was faint, Yiyi's aura strengthened with every tiny fraction that reconnected.
This process was restoring its previously damaged foundation.
Ya!
Only when the Dragon Qi was depleted did the little creature open its eyes.
It was now clearly much stronger than before.
After all, while the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essences it absorbed in the past were decent, they were ultimately lacking.
These Dragon Spirit Fruits, however, were different.
They had been nurtured and formed from condensed True Dragon Essence Qi; how could they be considered ordinary?
Ya!
After it finished refining the Essence Qi from the Dragon Spirit Fruits, Yiyi's gemstone-like eyes darted about, scanning the cave.
Suddenly, its nose twitched. The little creature's eyes brightened, and it darted forward. There, in a crevice at the base of the cave wall, was a golden Lingzhi. Mist curled around it, seemingly on the verge of coalescing into a misty dragon. This was obviously an incredibly old Dragon Lingzhi.
Ya!
With a flick of its small paw, Yiyi seized it and pulled it over.
Nearby, the Golden Eagle was attempting to absorb Dragon Qi. However, Dragon Qi was wildly domineering—it was impossible for an ordinary person to absorb it.
Yet for some unknown reason, this Golden Eagle had managed to forcibly absorb a small amount of the Dragon Qi.
At the same time, it uprooted some of the Spiritual Essences in the cave and began to devour them.
Devouring this kind of Spiritual Essence was a very dangerous affair. If one's physique wasn't strong enough, their meridians could easily rupture, causing their body to explode and resulting in death.
The Golden Eagle was very careful, absorbing the energy slowly and making steady progress. While its progress seemed slow, for the eagle, it was a qualitative leap.
「Another day passed.」
Ling Fei opened his eyes, which now glowed with wisdom. After painstakingly comprehending the Seizing Inscription Pattern, he finally understood. The Dragon Bone Pen could seize all things in existence and expel any Evil Demon Qi. To reach that level, however, he had to first master its Dao Pattern Divine Techniques, such as the Capture Divine Techniques.
This Inscription Pattern was branded with the Capture Divine Technique and was also known as a Dao Pattern.
He had clearly already mastered a fraction of the Power of this Seizing Dao Pattern.
Of course, this was an external Power, not something he had comprehended on his own.
Such Mystical truths were far too profound for any ordinary person to comprehend.
As Ling Fei's Heart Spirit spread out, he discovered that Yiyi's strength had increased. 'Yiyi's aura seems stronger... Has it already surpassed the Celestial Pill Realm?'
In addition, the Golden Eagle was wreathed in Dragon Qi, and its imposing presence had also clearly grown stronger.
Seeing this, Ling Fei's heart stirred, sending ripples through him. 'The Golden Roc... it now has a hint of Dragon's Might?'
Although he had given the Golden Eagle many resources, he didn't have a suitable Cultivation Technique for it to practice.
He never expected it could absorb Dragon Qi on its own; it was astonishing.
After all, Dragon Qi was wildly domineering and not at all easy to absorb. Otherwise, why would so few people in the world have ever managed to cultivate a True Dragon Body?
While Yiyi and the Golden Roc were cultivating, Ling Fei walked through the cave, continuing his search for more Spiritual Essences.
Ling Fei found and refined one Spiritual Essence after another, causing the Blood Qi within his body to become immensely powerful.
Ling Fei inspected the condition within his body. 'Although my Blood Qi is rich, it's only enough to forge the True Dragon Foundation. To transform into a True Dragon Body, I still need sufficient Dragon Blood.'
There were two types of True Dragon Body.
The first was the True Dragon Body cultivated by relying on Dragon Qi.
This kind of True Dragon Body was merely a shell and couldn't compare to a genuine True Dragon.
The Great Tang Empire was known for cultivating this type of True Dragon Body.
The other method was to continuously stimulate one's own True Dragon Bloodline, using it to temper the body until the bloodline reverted to its ancestral state and one transformed into a True Dragon.
Ling Fei's True Dragon Transformation Technique belonged to this second category.
Therefore, to form a True Dragon Body, he still needed a massive amount of Bloodline Power.
However, relying solely on stimulating his Bloodline Power to forge a True Dragon Body would be an incredibly long process.
After all, he had previously been in seclusion for a very long time and had only managed to forge both of his arms into True Dragon Arms.
Therefore, he wanted to take a shortcut.
A look of yearning filled Ling Fei's eyes. 'According to the Marsh King, he was only able to form his True Dragon Body and activate a trace of the True Dragon's Eye's power after obtaining a trace of True Dragon Blood. If I could also get a trace of True Dragon Blood, could I also directly forge a True Dragon Body and thereby gain control of the True Dragon's Eye?'
After all, Ling Fei was different from the Marsh King.
The Marsh King only possessed a single trace of True Dragon Blood with no subsequent supply, so his True Dragon Body was imperfect.
Ling Fei, on the other hand, still had the Dragon Bone and could stimulate True Dragon Blood from within his own body. His potential was naturally far greater than the Marsh King's.
'This time, I must go to the True Dragon Ancient Hall. If I can obtain even a trace of True Dragon Blood, this trip will not have been in vain.' Ling Fei looked up, his spirit already soaring toward the location of the True Dragon Ancient Hall.
This was Ling Fei's true purpose for coming to the Fallen Star Abyss.
If not for this, why would he have willingly put himself in harm's way?
