Tai Yi Enters the Fray, Summoning the True Dragon Soul

For a moment, Li Yun smiled.

He never imagined that Huang Long would give him such a big surprise.

A Red Affix.

True Dragon Soul!

Not only was the quality sufficient, but its value and function were also enormous.

Without any hesitation, Li Yun spoke: "System, Equip!"

[Ding! Equip successful!]

The next second, Li Yun felt a mysterious power born within his body.

The True Dragon Soul manifested, appearing directly inside his Dantian.

He only needed to move a thought, and the True Dragon Soul would activate, forming a divine dragon to protect its master, possessing destructive power at the Grand Unity True Immortal Realm and defensive power matching his own physical body's blood and qi.

Thus, the True Dragon Soul was essentially an existence rooted in his own Nascent Soul Cultivation and Physical Body Cultivation.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, this item's value wouldn't be great, but as someone with the Pangu bloodline, he could unleash its immense potential.

That is, his Great Witch Bloodline was only red; if upgraded to gold, it would become the Ancestor Witch Bloodline, and if upgraded to divine, it would be the genuine Pangu bloodline, purer than even the Three Pure Ones and the Ancestor Witches. At that point, the True Dragon Soul's level would be immeasurable.

Thinking this, Li Yun's perception of Huang Long improved significantly.

Since this guy had contributed such a good affix, he naturally wanted to reciprocate.

With that in mind, Li Yun's gaze fell on Huang Long, who had recovered his Innate Dao Body and stood up, and said: "Senior Brother Huang Long, you are indeed suited to cultivate the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique."

"Although the early stages may be difficult and slow, I believe cultivating this method will bring greater benefits to your future."

Hearing this, Huang Long cast a complicated look at Li Yun.

Having witnessed his formidable physical power, even Huang Long had to admit he was tempted by the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique.

Especially now, after hearing Li Yun's words, Huang Long's inner choice was further solidified. He nodded and said: "Thank you for the reminder, Junior Brother Li Yun. After this matter, I will request the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique from Master."

"If I encounter shortcomings in its cultivation, I hope Junior Brother can offer some guidance."

"No problem~"

Nodding, Li Yun agreed without hesitation.

Given the Red Affix Huang Long had contributed, his goodwill toward him had increased. As for guidance—

That, honestly, wasn't a difficult matter. Rather, building a good relationship with Huang Long would only bring greater benefits in the future when Huang Long became a top-tier dragon clan powerhouse.

This scene was fully observed by the Three Pure Ones on the high platform.

Yuanshi Tianzun opened his mouth, then sighed with some emotion: "Big Brother, this disciple of yours is truly open-minded."

"Even facing the Chan Teachings' rotating battles, he still shows little arrogance."

"Though his earlier actions were forceful, he held back. Now he even advises Huang Long—truly a rare and excellent seedling."

Saying this, Yuanshi felt a trace of envy inside.

Such a fine seedling, even more suited to his own inheritance, yet he was Laozi's disciple, a member of the Human Teachings.

"Second Brother flatters me!"

With a faint smile, Laozi was also satisfied with Li Yun's attitude.

Forceful when needed, harmonious when calm.

If not for his still-low cultivation, Laozi would even consider Li Yun capable of becoming the face of the Human Teachings.

With this thought, Laozi shifted the topic: "But it cannot be denied that Li Yun's words hold truth."

"That Huang Long may be weaker in talent among your twelve Direct Disciples, but his physical talent is not weak. If he cultivates the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique, he may have a chance to stand on equal footing with the other Direct Disciples in the future."

Hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's lips curled upward.

Though he was not entirely satisfied with Huang Long's origins, he was still his Direct Disciple, and he naturally would not truly abandon him.

Especially at this stage, Yuanshi Tianzun had not yet reached the point of blatantly favoring Guang Chengzi; his attitude toward the other Direct Disciples was more or less the same.

With this in mind, Yuanshi Tianzun spoke: "Since he also has this intention, I will bestow the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Technique upon him after this Exchange Meeting."

"Junior Brother Li Yun, please enlighten me."

Just as the Three Pure Ones were conversing, Taiyi stepped forward and clasped his hands toward Li Yun.

At this moment, he dared not show any slack or carelessness, because he was well aware of one thing: Li Yun's strength was nearly all-encompassing.

Taiqing Divine Thunder as a divine ability.

Physical strength capable of crushing Huang Long's true form.

For this reason, even he had little confidence in facing him in combat, let alone defeating him.

"Alright!"

Li Yun agreed without refusal.

He raised his hand and sent a Taiqing Divine Thunder hurtling toward Tai Yi.

"Yuqing Divine Thunder~"

Seeing this, Tai Yi was not to be outdone, raising his hand to control a Yuqing Divine Thunder to meet the attack.

The next second, two bolts of cyan thunder collided midair. Although Tai Yi's Yuqing Divine Thunder was ultimately weaker, after it exploded, it also shattered the Taiqing Divine Thunder along with it.

This scene was witnessed by all the surrounding cultivators, who exclaimed in surprise: "A Minor Accomplishment level Yuqing Divine Thunder!"

"Good heavens, Junior Brother Tai Yi's training in the Yuqing Divine Thunder is truly outstanding."

At this moment, Li Yun also grew more serious.

A Minor Accomplishment level Yuqing Divine Thunder, combined with a Golden Immortal Realm cultivation—under these circumstances, he could not overwhelm Tai Yi.

Thinking this, Li Yun decided not to continue mobilizing the Taiqing Divine Thunder for attacks. With a thought: "True Dragon Soul!"

Roar—

A dragon's cry resounded, and blood and qi churned within Li Yun's Dantian.

Immediately after, a cyan nine-clawed divine dragon phantom appeared, directly enveloping Li Yun's figure, lifting him and flying him into the midair region.

A vast dragon might spread outward, and Li Yun's entire aura became sharp and aggressive.

"What is this?"

"A dragon soul protecting the body?"

"No, this dragon soul is not a living thing—what exactly is going on?"

"Could it be a secret technique of the Human Teachings? It looks incredibly powerful."

At this moment, disciples of both the Chan and Jie Sects cried out in shock.

Watching Li Yun in his dragon-soul-protected state, disbelief, astonishment, and incredulity flickered in everyone's eyes.

Especially Huang Long.

As a pure-blooded dragon, he could sense that the dragon soul was a dead thing, yet the aura fluctuations and pressure it emitted were even purer than his own bloodline.

If he hadn't known that Li Yun was a human disciple, he might have suspected that the other party was the Ancestor Dragon's illegitimate son—how else could he possess such a dragon soul and dragon might?

"Go~"

Before the surrounding people could come to their senses, Li Yun had already struck fiercely.

With a wave of his hand, the dragon soul let out a low roar, flew directly out from his body, and its massive form lunged swiftly toward Tai Yi's location, while cyan Taiqing Divine Thunder began to leap and flicker across its body~
