Just as the Seven Thousand Year Jade Swan agreed to sacrifice itself, Lin Mu stepped forward and said, "Lingling, get ready."
Hearing this, Ye Lingling stroked the Jade Swan's head once more, took a deep breath, then sat cross-legged and calmed her mind.
The next moment, soft Emerald Green Light burst from the Seven Thousand Year Jade Swan's body, enveloping both it and Ye Lingling.
Vast life energy flowed into Ye Lingling's body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, without the slightest rejection.
During the sacrifice, Lin Mu kept his promise and preserved its soul. Before long, a deep purple Soul Ring circled around Ye Lingling.
Half an hour later, the emerald light faded. Ye Lingling slowly opened her eyes, feeling the surging Soul Power within her, her face brimming with delight.
"My Soul Power actually broke through to level forty-three!"
Before her words had even faded, she summoned her Nine Heart Begonia again.
Within the Three-Colored Begonia Flower, the life aura had become even denser. A jade-like sheen faintly glimmered across the three-colored petals, clearly showing that her Martial Soul had undergone another slight transformation.
Lin Mu was not particularly surprised by this.
The Jade Swan was one of the finest Life Attribute soul beasts and was perfectly compatible with the Nine Heart Begonia. It was entirely expected that it would further evolve her Martial Soul.
But it was not over yet. A surge of life energy suddenly radiated from Ye Lingling's back, instantly drawing Lin Mu's attention.
Suddenly, a pair of Emerald Green Wings that looked as though they had been carved from jade slowly spread from behind her. They shimmered with flowing light and radiated dense life energy.
"Is that... an External Soul Bone?!"
Tang San cried out in astonishment, his face full of disbelief.
