Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone (Free Chapter, 4k Words)
Just as Zhu Zhuqing entered Shrek Academy, Su Cheng had already left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
His cultivation level has improved extremely rapidly over the past year.
Even though Su Cheng's Martial Soul Bloodline has almost no room for improvement, the Nirvana Sutra's effect on his Martial Soul is more reflected in the transformation of Martial Soul essence, but the technique itself has the effect of improving cultivation efficiency.
In addition, although Su Cheng couldn't use the Immortal Herb because their effects on the body were too strong, he could still use other herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to prepare various auxiliary medicines.
With the addition of the two levels of Soul Power gained from absorbing the Fourth Soul Ring Cross-Year Absorption, he has now reached the level of Soul Ancestor, level 44.
Deep within the Ten Thousand Mile Mountains on the outskirts of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Looking at the huge waterfall cascading down from a cliff hundreds of meters high in the distance, a smile appeared in Su Cheng's eyes.
He had already located the place during the first Simulation, so finding it now was a piece of cake.
This is the burial place of the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor.
Actually, absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is not difficult.
Moreover, the earlier this Soul Bone is used, the better its effect will be. It not only greatly improves the foundation of physical fitness, but the effects of wood-attribute Soul Skill are also very suitable for Su Cheng.
But there was no other way; he wasn't sure if Tang Hao would be guarding the body there, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
This place is definitely the enemy's Achilles' heel. Let alone taking the Soul Bone here, even if you get close to this place and are discovered, you probably won't survive.
Moreover, his cultivation progressed too quickly. Whether he entered school or went to the Spirit Hall to have his Soul Power tested, he would inevitably be subject to physical examinations. At that time, the fact that he had Soul Bone would definitely be discovered.
The allure of this product is beyond words.
Only at this point in time, when Tang San went to the Shrek Academy, could he be certain that Tang Hao was not here, which is why he dared to come and get it.
As they drew closer, the roar grew louder and louder, eventually becoming deafening. The air also became more humid, and the temperature was several degrees lower than the outside temperature.
Finally, Su Cheng stopped beside a pool of water.
The pool is crystal clear, tranquil and deep. A waterfall about twenty meters wide, like a jade ribbon, flows across the mountainside, crashing into the pool and splashing countless droplets of water.
Su Cheng looked up and glanced upwards.
The cliff is not very high, but it is extremely slippery due to the erosion caused by the waterfall, making it difficult to stand on.
The Martial Soul Longevity Sword appeared in his hand, and the Soul Ring beneath his feet lit up.
First Soul Skill: Bearing Great Virtue.
As he used his Soul Skill, the Longevity Sword in his hand instantly became slightly heavier. At the same time, a warm sensation emanated from beneath his feet.
Although this earth-attribute Soul Ring provides a huge boost to status effects, Su Cheng believes that its passive characteristics are what truly deserve attention.
Whenever he used this Soul Skill, as long as Su Cheng stood on the ground, he could feel as if he were one with the ground, like a child of the earth.
He brandished his long sword, using the slight protrusions on the rock face as leverage to leap across, and soon arrived at the center of the waterfall.
Reaching out and pressing on the rock face behind the waterfall, the seemingly perfectly sealed rock instantly caved in, revealing a doorway.
With a flash, Su Cheng had already slipped inside.
The air inside the cave was extremely humid. It was about three meters high and two meters wide, and extended continuously inwards, with complete darkness inside.
However, in Su Cheng's now enhanced eyes, everything was as bright as day.
He soon reached the innermost part of the cave, and at the end, he entered a stone chamber of only about ten square meters, where sunlight streamed in through a hole in the ceiling.
The stone chamber was completely empty, but directly below the stone opening above, a small mound of earth rose up, where a Blue Silver Emperor Sapling with blue leaves and golden veins was gently swaying.
Su Cheng ignored the Blue Silver Emperor Sapling and slapped the stone wall next to him with his palm.
With a "ding," a black lead box fell from the sky and landed in his hand.
Su Cheng opened it and took a look. A gentle yet powerful aura immediately poured out, and a blue-gold Right Leg Bone shimmering with starlight appeared in his eyes.
"Not bad, not bad."
Even with Su Cheng's current state of mind, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
Although he had known for a long time that the Blue Silver Emperor's Right Leg Bone was hidden here, he was not entirely confident that he could obtain this precious Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, which was extremely compatible with him, before seeing it with his own eyes.
After all, the world of the Douluo Continent has undergone many changes.
The fate line has shifted dramatically due to the influence of the Simulator.
Who knows if this will influence Tang Hao to choose to give the Soul Bone to Tang San ahead of schedule?
Only then did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
However, this is clearly not a good place to absorb Soul Bone. The energy contained in Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is too vast, and it will take a lot of effort to fully utilize it.
With a flick of his wrist, he closed the lead box again and placed it into his Storage Soul Tool.
After everything was completed, Su Cheng turned to look at the Blue Silver Emperor Sapling.
"Huh?"
Then he suddenly realized something was wrong.
Su Cheng originally planned to take the Blue Silver Emperor Sapling away and hide it, or even destroy it directly.
After all, although this is not Soul Beast with intelligence that is over ten thousand years old, if it is really resurrected in the future, who knows if it will retain its past instinctive memories.
He didn't want to leave any future problems.
However, upon closer inspection, Su Cheng noticed a problem.
Although he did not use his External Soul Bone to observe the Blue Silver Emperor Sapling in front of him at this time, the ability of his eyes to Insight things and his strong intuition made him feel that there seemed to be a strange fluctuation on the seedling.
After thinking for a moment, Su Cheng began to channel his Spiritual Power into the True Sight Eye, the External Soul Bone on his forehead.
As golden light began to emanate from between his brows, his vision underwent a dramatic transformation.
The scene that appeared in Su Cheng's eyes was no longer the original things in the stone chamber; different energy and information fluctuations filled his eyes.
The most prominent feature is the spot where the Blue Silver Grass seedlings are located.
As he further channeled his Spiritual Power and focused his gaze, the originally vibrant and colorful world in his eyes suddenly turned into black and white.
Only the Blue Silver Emperor Sapling, which he was focusing on at this time, showed a deeper level of change.
But unlike when Su Cheng observed the First Soul Ring before, what he saw now was not a phantom that was difficult to discern in detail, but a real human figure!
To his surprise, he saw a pretty woman with her long legs curled up, her arms wrapped around her knees, her delicate body curled up, floating there quietly.
A long blue and gold dress covered her entire body, with golden ribbons curling up around the hem, her noble and elegant temperament highlighting her otherworldly beauty.
Although the woman's eyes were closed and she was in a state of near-death sleep, it was still impossible to conceal her dazzling beauty.
"Is this the Soul Body of the Blue Silver Emperor? Or something else entirely?"
Su Cheng didn't observe for long before quickly turning his gaze away.
His current Spiritual Power is not enough to sustain the True Sight Eye for too long, and this place is not absolutely safe, so he needs to conserve his power.
After a moment's thought, Su Cheng abandoned his original idea of destroying the evidence.
He took out a wooden box from the Soul Tool and quickly transplanted the Blue Silver Emperor into it.
In his view, the Blue Silver Emperor and its soul before him were excellent material for observing Soul Beast and Soul Ring.
As he was leaving, he took out a bottle of highly corrosive potion and threw it into the stone chamber.
As a surge of Soul Power erupted, it instantly shattered the medicine bottle, and the corrosive liquid rapidly evaporated and spread out in all directions.
Before long, the landscape here will undergo a dramatic transformation.
No one could tell what had happened in the past.
Inside Su Cheng's wooden house, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
He took out the lead box that held the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone from the Soul Tool.
At this moment, Dugu Bo was at the academy with his granddaughter.
Since the poison was removed from his body, he has rarely returned to this place.
This paradise has now become almost entirely Su Cheng's personal stronghold.
Su Cheng calmed himself down, took out the blue-gold Right Leg Bone, and attached it to his right leg.
"Buzz—"
With a slight buzzing sound, Su Cheng clearly felt his right leg involuntarily tremble slightly. Immediately afterwards, a cool sensation quietly seeped into his leg from all directions.
The crystalline blue Soul Bone also disappeared, transforming into countless streams of blue-gold energy that permeated around his right leg.
A cool and comfortable feeling filled my whole body, the Martial Soul Longevity Sword automatically appeared, and the Five Elements Domain spontaneously spread out.
At the same time, the Soul Power within Su Cheng's body was also slowly increasing, and in the process, it became increasingly pure.
"As expected of a top-tier wood-attribute Soul Bone."
He closed his eyes and entered a state of introspection, quietly observing the changes within his body.
Immediately afterwards, the gentle wave gradually spread, and his entire body began to undergo further transformation.
Unlike the physical enhancements brought about by attaching Soul Ring and taking medicine in the past, the feeling of this enhancement is not so intuitive.
There has been no leapfrog improvement in meridian resilience, bone strength, or even muscle fibers; instead, there has been a process of fine-tuning.
But this change is by no means weak; Su Cheng can sense that it is fundamentally enhancing his physical potential.
This Zhongji surprised him.
Su Cheng's understanding of the human body is extremely thorough. Strengthening the body's components, such as meridians, bones, and flesh, isn't difficult, but altering their structure is virtually impossible. A small change can have far-reaching consequences; this is simply beyond the scope of human capability alone.
The last time a similar improvement occurred was due to the rewards during the first Simulation settlement.
Subsequently, the Nirvana Sutra within my body suddenly began to operate spontaneously.
"This is...?"
Su Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and the circulation route of the Soul Power in the Nirvana Sutra began to show subtle changes little by little!
The Nirvana Sutra he had previously studied was merely a cultivation technique he had developed based on his research into the human body, Martial Soul, and bloodline; it was the culmination of his accumulated knowledge.
But now this change is more like an instinct.
All living things in the world have the instinct to evolve, prompting themselves to become more perfect and better able to adapt to the environment.
However, this process often takes tens or hundreds of thousands of years to complete.
But at this moment, he seemed to be accelerating this process a thousandfold.
Su Cheng was certain that if he cultivated according to the fully perfected Nirvana Sutra, it wouldn't be long before his Martial Soul strength reached a level comparable to Qian Renxue's.
"How is this possible?!"
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone is certainly very powerful, but Su Cheng doesn't believe that all Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone can produce a similar effect.
As I said before, this is by no means the realm of ordinary people.
"Is it because this is Soul Bone produced by a plant- Soul Beast? Or is it because of the special significance that the Blue Silver Emperor itself represents, the only one among thousands of Blue Silver Grass that represents a miracle? Or perhaps, it's because it naturally resonates with my own Five Elements?"
But this is clearly not the best time to think about these things.
After thinking for a moment, he put the matter aside for the time being and closed his eyes again.
The changes brought about by the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone were not drastic, but rather subtly altered his body.
Three days later, Su Cheng finally finished converting and absorbing the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.
As it all came to an end, he opened his eyes again.
"Blue Silver Emperor..."
Feeling his current physical state, his gaze involuntarily shifted to the outside, looking at the Blue Silver Emperor Sapling that he had casually placed there.
======
I will no longer publish long chapters of 10,000 words.
The previous chapter wasn't split because I didn't want to divide the situation at the Shrek Academy into two chapters.
As for those who say it's a repetition of the original text, you can go back and look at the previous chapter. Apart from the academy settings mentioned by Dai Mubai, everything else is described from Zhu Zhuqing's perspective, which shows how much of the content is actually there.
Whether it's the observation of the academy, her different personality compared to the original work, the changes in her temperament and way of dealing with people, or even the subsequent impact, shouldn't the reasons and causes be clearly explained?
All of this content must be connected to reality to be intuitive enough. Moreover, a novel is not a character sketch. Without the interaction between characters, how can you feel her changes?
It's impossible not to write about the Shrek Academy.
How many people read the original text while also reading fanfiction?
Do you think I should just gloss over the problems of this academy? The preceding content has already been greatly simplified. The original novel alone contains nearly 100,000 words about Tang San's enrollment. I read the relevant parts of the original novel several times just for this part.
The first third describes Zhu Zhuqing's perception of the academy, the second third describes her mindset and strategies towards Dai Mubai, and there are also her inner thoughts in the middle. The content related to the setting is less than two thousand words in total.
The next chapter will be in the afternoon. Thank you all for your monthly votes, and I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.
