Silver Dragon Reverse Scale, Tracing Origins?

"Come to think of it, Na'er was actually taken away by that Black Dragon. No wonder we didn't see her. What a pity—she's an unparalleled prodigy with Innate Full Soul Power."

"Fortunately, you escaped. We still don't know what kind of Soul Beast that Black Dragon was or why it took Na'er away. I know of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, but I've never heard of such a dragon-type Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest."

They had been discussing the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring earlier. Now, hearing Yu Mingxiao recount his experiences in the Star Dou Great Forest, Yu Yuanzhen could not help but feel lingering fear.

It was already a miracle that he had returned alive!

Yu Mingxiao nodded and said softly, "Father, I'm a little tired. I'll head back first."

"Go get some proper rest. I'll see you out."

A moment later, Yu Yuanzhen personally escorted Yu Mingxiao outside. Watching Yu Mingxiao and Bi Ji's departing backs, he sighed. "That child has grown up."

After returning to his own courtyard, Yu Mingxiao settled Bi Ji in Na'er's room. "You can live here from now on. The bedding and furniture are all here."

"Is this the mistress's room?" Bi Ji lightly touched the bed and asked, "Yu Mingxiao, have you slept with the mistress in this bed?"

"???" Yu Mingxiao was full of question marks. He said flatly, "What are you talking about? She's only six. I don't have those kinds of thoughts about her."

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. You and the mistress's avatar slept together in the Star Dou Great Forest. I don't believe that you and the mistress's avatar were so restrained in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan." Bi Ji curled her lips, disbelief written all over her face.

Yu Mingxiao laughed. "Believe it or not. As for you, Bi Ji, you look gentle and quiet, but I never expected your head to be full of such improper things."

Bi Ji's ears heated up, and her cheeks instantly flushed red. "What are you saying? How is that improper?"

"Enough, I won't keep messing around with you. How do I use this?" Yu Mingxiao took out a fist-sized green crystal from his Soul Tool.

"This is... Life Gold? Why did the mistress give you something so important?" Bi Ji subconsciously covered her delicate lips, her beautiful face filled with astonishment.

Yu Mingxiao said, "She was afraid I'd die young, so she insisted on giving me a piece."

Bi Ji composed herself and said gently, "Life Gold is solidified ultimate life force. It contains boundless, pure vitality."

"Generally, it is used directly to heal injuries. Its vitality can quickly restore wounds. For ordinary people, as long as they still have one breath left, they won't die."

The way you Soul Beasts use Life Gold is far too primitive, isn't it? Yu Mingxiao could not help but think.

"Then tell me, how else can this Life Gold be used?" Bi Ji asked with a frown.

"Tell me, could Life Gold be used to open up a Second Sea of Consciousness?" Yu Mingxiao met Bi Ji's gaze and described the method Electrolux had used in the original work.

The Second Sea of Consciousness was a second Sea of Spirit formed from Life Gold, filled with an immense amount of ultimate life force.

This should have been the most beneficial and practical way to use Life Gold.

Not only could it transform one's body, causing both physique and spiritual power to soar, it also granted powerful self-healing abilities. As long as the brain remained intact, the body could repair itself, and cultivation speed would receive a qualitative boost as well.

"A Second Sea of Consciousness?" Bi Ji's eyes flickered slightly. "Explain in detail."

Yu Mingxiao blinked and briefly explained the general concept of the Second Sea of Consciousness.

Bi Ji fell silent after hearing it.

Yu Mingxiao said, "This Second Sea of Consciousness requires an expert to help open it for me. The influx of life force needs to be controlled, the Sea of Consciousness must be guided into formation, and the spiritual barrier must be broken to support a new Sea of Consciousness space."

"Bi Ji, do you have the ability to help me open up a Second Sea of Consciousness?"

Bi Ji shook her head and said softly, "I'm afraid not. If it is merely controlling the influx of life force and guiding the formation of the Sea of Consciousness, I don't think I would have any problem. But I do not specialize in attack or destruction, so I may be unable to break through the spiritual barrier and forcibly support a new Sea of Consciousness space."

At this point, she paused. "However, Di Tian should have the ability to help you open up a Second Sea of Consciousness. You can go directly to him next time."

"Unable to break through the spiritual barrier?" Yu Mingxiao considered it for a moment. Wouldn't it work if I voluntarily opened my spiritual barrier? But I don't trust Bi Ji. I'll spend some time with her first before considering this matter.

Setting aside his thoughts, Yu Mingxiao said flatly, "Then we'll discuss that later. I heard Gu Yuena gave you a Silver Dragon Reverse Scale. Can you let me see it?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Bi Ji directly handed the Reverse Scale to Yu Mingxiao. "Here."

Yu Mingxiao had not expected her to be so decisive, but he did not think much of it. He reached out, accepted the Silver Dragon Reverse Scale, and examined it.

The Reverse Scale had a gentle sheen. Under the light, it gave off a faint moon-white glow, while flowing silver-purple patterns of light ran within it. They seemed to be Creation Divine Power, making it appear rather extraordinary.

Yu Mingxiao could not help sensing the light patterns inside the scale. Suddenly, the scale reacted in a wondrous way, radiating a nine-colored halo.

The world before Yu Mingxiao's eyes instantly turned blank. The hazy, dazzling light nearly made it impossible for him to open his eyes.

When the light receded, the surrounding scene had changed. He was no longer in the courtyard room, but on a vast, boundless land.

At that moment, he seemed to be in some kind of god's-eye perspective.

Countless members of the Dragon Clan stood upon the land, their scales gleaming in every color. At their head was an incomparably enormous nine-colored dragon, its might spanning heaven and earth.

"This is... the Dragon God." Yu Mingxiao's pupils contracted slightly. He had once seen the Dragon God in the fragmented memories of the Dragon-Slaying Blade, so he naturally remembered its appearance.

What confused him was why the Silver Dragon King's Reverse Scale would display an image of the Dragon God.

"Roar—"

The Dragon God threw back its head and roared, its sound waves sweeping through heaven and earth.

Behind it, tens of thousands of giant dragons lowered their heads and knelt in worship.

Yu Mingxiao's horizons were broadened, and his blood began to boil.

Ten Thousand Dragons Worshipping—what a magnificent sight!

From his god's-eye perspective, he felt his spirit resonate with the Dragon God. The scene of Ten Thousand Dragons Worshipping was imprinted into his mind.

The surrounding scene gradually faded, and Yu Mingxiao's consciousness returned to his own courtyard. Yet he remained immersed in the sight of Ten Thousand Dragons Worshipping, falling into a strange realization.

The Silver Dragon scale in his hand emitted a faint glow. Along its originally pure silver edge, a trace of nine-colored light quietly emerged.

"This?!" Bi Ji noticed the subtle change in the Silver Dragon Reverse Scale. Her face instantly filled with shock as she blurted out, "Yu Mingxiao, what did you do to this Reverse Scale?"

"Huh?" Yu Mingxiao suppressed his realization and looked at the Silver Dragon Reverse Scale. Seeing the trace of nine-colored light along its edge, he raised a brow and rubbed his chin. "Could it be related to the scene I just saw? Has this... traced back to its origins?"
