The Nine-Colored Divine Dragon lowered its head.
Pure true dragon bloodline merged into the origin of the Blue Silver Emperor.
The injuries Ah Yin had accumulated over many years were rapidly repaired by the life elements.
A moment later.
Blue-gold radiance erupted from within the Blue Silver Emperor's body.
The phantom of a blue-haired woman slowly appeared in the center of countless vines.
Long blue hair draped down to her waist.
Her pale blue dress swayed gently with the life energy.
Her face was gentle and beautiful, and between her brows, there was a hint of relief.
Ah Yin looked down at her own hands.
"I can finally see myself again."
Long Tian raised his eyes to look.
"This is only a phantom condensed from your soul."
"Your main body has still not recovered to 100,000-year cultivation."
Ah Yin nodded gently.
"It is already enough."
The blue-haired woman came before Long Tian.
Her slender fingers landed on his handsome face, but they could only pass through the Nine-Colored Divine Light.
"Thank you."
"If I hadn't met you, I would have continued to wait in that stone cave."
Long Tian looked at the Blue Silver Emperor before him.
"Ah Yin."
"You still have one last chance to change your decision."
Ah Yin shook her head.
"I have already decided."
"Long Tian, accept my sacrifice."
The blue-haired figure merged back into the Blue Silver Emperor's main body.
Countless blue-gold vines unfurled simultaneously.
Brilliant radiance pierced through the mountain wall, dyeing the entire waterfall in blue-gold hues.
A blood-red soul ring rose slowly from above the Blue Silver Emperor's main body.
A 100,000-year soul ring!
The moment the soul ring appeared, massive life energy filled the entire stone chamber.
The ordinary Bluesilver Grass in the surroundings grew rapidly.
Even the hard mountain walls were completely covered by blue vines.
Ah Yin's mental power entered Long Tian's mind.
"I offer my sacrifice voluntarily."
"Long Tian, accept the power of the Blue Silver Emperor."
The blood-red soul ring descended slowly.
The Nine-Colored Divine Dragon behind Long Tian spread its wings, completely enveloping the 100,000-year soul ring.
There was no violent impact.
There was no soul shock.
The Blue Silver Emperor's entire cultivation and life origin entered Long Tian's body gently.
Boom!
The level forty bottleneck shattered instantly.
Level forty-one.
Level forty-two.
Level forty-three.
Surging Soul Power continued to rush through his meridians.
In the end, Long Tian's cultivation stabilized at level forty-four.
Yellow, yellow, black, red.
Four soul rings rose in sequence from beneath his feet.
The fourth blood-red soul ring rotated around his white-clad figure.
Rich life elements were released from the soul ring, adding a blue-gold pattern to the scales of the Nine-Colored Divine Dragon.
Long Tian opened his eyes slowly.
Deep within his Nine-Colored Double Pupils, a wisp of emerald-green light flashed.
A 100,000-year fourth soul ring.
The power brought by the Blue Silver Emperor's sacrifice had been completely integrated into the Rainbow Dragon martial soul.
A brand-new soul skill also appeared in his mind.
"Fourth soul skill."
"All Things Revive, Life Divine Domain."
As long as the Life Divine Domain is deployed, friendly soul masters within the domain's range will have their injuries and Soul Power rapidly restored.
Even if the body suffers heavy trauma, as long as there is a single breath left, the Life Divine Domain can preserve the person's life.
When applied to plant-type soul masters and soul beasts, the recovery effect is further enhanced.
In addition to life recovery, the Blue Silver Emperor also granted Long Tian powerful life perception.
Within the domain, no life fluctuations can escape the Rainbow Dragon's detection.
Long Tian raised his right hand.
The fourth blood-red soul ring lit up accordingly.
Emerald-green divine light spread to the surroundings.
The Bluesilver Grass that had previously lost its origin broke through the soil once more.
Countless blades of grass swayed in the Nine-Colored Divine Light, soon filling the entire stone chamber with life.
Inside the Rainbow Dragon's Heart.
A blue-gold leaf slowly unfurled.
Ah Yin's soul rested quietly in the center of the life elements.
"Long Tian."
"I can feel my own consciousness."
"After the sacrifice, I did not disappear."
Long Tian retracted the Life Divine Domain.
"The Rainbow Dragon's Heart has preserved your soul origin."
"Once I master stronger life power, I will be able to help you re-condense your body."
The blue-gold leaf swayed gently.
"I believe in you."
Long Tian rose from the ground.
The blood-red soul ring gradually merged into his body.
Level forty-four Soul Ancestor.
100,000-year fourth soul ring.
Life Divine Domain.
This soul ring hunt had reached its conclusion.
Long Tian took one last look at the empty mound of earth, then turned and walked out of the stone chamber.
"Ah Yin."
"It is time to leave this place."
The Blue Silver Emperor's mental power transmitted from the Rainbow Dragon's Heart.
"Alright."
The white-clad figure passed through the narrow passage.
The stone door closed slowly behind him.
The waterfall fell once more, completely concealing the stone cave that had trapped the Blue Silver Emperor for many years.
The waterfall fell once more.
The water curtain obscured the stone cave behind him, and the churning mist of water quickly wiped away all traces.
Long Tian stood by the pool, feeling the surging Soul Power within his body.
Level forty-four Soul Ancestor.
Four soul rings rotated slowly beneath his feet.
Yellow, yellow, black, red.
The final blood-red soul ring exuded a rich aura of life.
"100,000-year fourth soul ring."
Long Tian raised his palm.
Emerald-green light condensed slowly in his palm, and several blue-gold leaves emerged.
Deep within the Rainbow Dragon's Heart, Ah Yin's soul slept quietly.
"All Things Revive, Life Divine Domain."
The information for the fourth soul skill had completely integrated into Long Tian's consciousness.
After deploying the Life Divine Domain, all life power within the range would be under his control.
Friendly soul masters could rapidly recover from injuries and Soul Power.
Even if they had only one breath left, they could preserve their lives through the Life Divine Domain.
For plant-type soul masters and soul beasts, the recovery effect would be multiplied several times over.
"Life elements are indeed more special than other elements."
Long Tian retracted his Soul Power.
His Rainbow Dragon martial soul now possessed four core powers: fire, ice, lightning, and life.
As his cultivation increased, the methods he could employ would only grow more numerous.
"Ah Yin."
Long Tian spoke in his heart.
The blue-gold leaf swayed gently.
"I am here."
"Do you regret this sacrifice?"
Ah Yin was silent for a moment.
"If I had continued to stay in that stone cave, that is when I would truly regret it."
"I have already sacrificed myself for Hao once."
"This time, I want to choose a future for myself."
Long Tian did not try to persuade her further.
"Since you have chosen me, I will not let you down."
"Thank you."
Ah Yin's consciousness grew quiet once again.
Long Tian turned and walked out from behind the waterfall.
Night had fallen over the Star Dou Great Forest.
The aura of a level forty-four Soul Ancestor circulated slowly within his body.
The power brought by the fourth soul ring had not been fully digested, and his Soul Power continued to grow.
Long Tian did not venture deeper.
Now that the fourth soul ring had been obtained, the most important thing was to return to Skywater Academy as quickly as possible to stabilize his cultivation.
He took out the feather left behind by the Ling Yuan.
A fiery red light flashed across the surface of the feather.
Long Tian stored it in his storage Soul Tool and sped off in the direction he had come from.
Several days later.
Skywater Academy.
Dean's Hall.
Shui Bing'er stood in the center of the hall, her gaze fixed on the fourth soul ring at Long Tian's feet.
That flash of blood-red radiance illuminated the entire hall.
Shui Yue'er's mouth hung open, and she even forgot to put down the teacup in her hand.
"A 100,000-year soul ring?"
"Captain, did you really absorb a 100,000-year soul ring?"
Xue Wu, Yu Hairou, Shen Liuyu, and Gu Qingbo all gathered around.
One gaze after another fell upon that blood-red soul ring.
A 100,000-year soul ring.
A top-tier inheritance rarely seen across the entire continent.
Yet, Long Tian possessed his own hundred-thousand-year fourth soul ring despite being only level forty.
Shui Bing'er walked up to Long Tian, carefully observing the blue-gold patterns on the surface of the blood-colored soul ring.
"What attribute is the power brought by this soul ring?"
"Life."
Long Tian raised his hand.
His fourth soul ring suddenly lit up.
An emerald-green light spread from beneath his feet, enveloping the entire hall in the blink of an eye.
Several withered leaves that had been blown down by the cold wind earlier stood upright again after hitting the ground.
Threads of tender sprouts poked out from the soil outside the hall.
The withered grass and trees rapidly regained their vitality.
Shui Yue'er reached out her hand, letting a blue-green leaf land on her palm.
"So comfortable."
"My soul power is recovering, too."
Xue Wu looked up at the vines growing all around them.
"Is this a hundred-thousand-year soul skill?"
"As long as everyone is within this range, their injuries and soul power will recover rapidly."
Long Tian nodded gently.
"Fourth soul skill, All Things Revive, Life Divine Domain."
"As long as there is a breath left, I can preserve the other person's life."
The hall fell silent.
Shui Bing'er looked at Long Tian, the light in her eyes growing brighter and brighter.
"Such support ability can no longer be described as just powerful."
"As long as you are here, the team has an extra layer of protection."
Long Tian withdrew his soul power.
"The consumption of Life Divine Domain is not small."
"Before the Soul Master Tournament, I still need to familiarize myself with the skill's range and duration."
Shui Bing'er nodded.
"I will accompany you in training from now on."
Shui Yue'er immediately raised her hand.
"I want to participate too!"
Long Tian glanced at her.
"You are responsible for testing the recovery effect."
Shui Yue'er was stunned for a moment.
"Testing the recovery effect?"
"It means getting beaten up repeatedly, then seeing how long it takes for you to recover."
"Captain, you are bullying Yue'er."
Shui Bing'er turned to look at her younger sister.
"Then do you still want to participate?"
Shui Yue'er immediately changed her tune.
"Of course I do."
Several students nearby laughed.
Long Tian also raised his hand and tapped Shui Yue'er on the forehead.
"Focus on cultivating your soul power first."
Shui Yue'er covered her forehead and retreated to Shui Bing'er's side.
"Sister, the captain is bullying me again."
"If you don't behave, he will bully you again next time."
After Shui Bing'er finished speaking, she realized that the sentence sounded wrong.
She looked up at Long Tian.
Long Tian was looking at her, a faint smile in his nine-colored eyes.
Shui Bing'er's cheeks grew slightly warm, and she immediately looked away.
"Training continues starting tomorrow."
"Alright."
In the following days, Skywater Academy entered a state of intense preparation.
During the day, Long Tian practiced combination soul skills with Shui Bing'er.
At night, he contemplated the Life Divine Domain alone.
Their soul powers collided constantly, only to fuse again under the guidance of the Rainbow Dragon's Heart.
On the training grounds, the Ice Phoenix and the Nine-Colored Divine Dragon circled side by side.
Ultimate Ice covered half the sky.
The Life Divine Domain caused the surrounding grass and trees to grow rapidly.
Ice and life existed simultaneously.
Shui Bing'er cast Ice Seal time and again, while Xue Wu coordinated to condense ice and snow.
Shui Yue'er and the others took turns attacking the defensive barrier created by Long Tian.
Whenever damage appeared, the Life Divine Domain would quickly repair it.
"Bing'er, don't rush to expand the range when releasing your soul power."
Long Tian stood at Shui Bing'er's side.
"Compress the Ultimate Ice first, then let the Ice Phoenix complete the burst."
Shui Bing'er closed her eyes and readjusted the soul power within her body.
A moment later, deep blue cold air condensed in her palms.
The Ice Phoenix raised its head and let out a long cry.
A ring of icy light spread from beneath Shui Bing'er's feet, instantly covering the entire training ground.
This time, the cold air did not spiral out of control.
All the ice crystals remained within the intended range.
"Success."
Shui Bing'er opened her eyes, a look of joy appearing on her clear, beautiful face.
Long Tian nodded gently.
"Much more stable than before."
Shui Yue'er ran over from a distance.
"Sister, Captain, your combination soul skill is getting stronger and stronger."
"Once the Soul Master Tournament begins, other academies definitely won't be able to stop you."
Long Tian looked outside the training grounds.
"We cannot underestimate any opponent."
"The Spirit Hall Team possesses top-tier spirits, and the Emperor Team will continue to improve as well."
"The real competition will not be as simple as the exchange matches."
Shui Bing'er put away the Ice Phoenix.
"We will train according to your arrangements."
She looked at Long Tian, her eyes filled with trust.
"Skywater Academy will definitely make it to the end."
Long Tian did not answer.
The Nine-Colored Divine Light slowly dissipated from his white robes.
The aura of a level forty-four Soul Ancestor had completely stabilized.
There was still some time before the Soul Master Tournament.
That time was enough for him to improve once more.
Three months later.
The northern main road of the Heaven Dou Empire.
A carriage from Skywater Academy moved slowly forward.
Inside the carriage, Shui Yue'er lifted the curtain and looked at the town outside.
"Heaven Dou City is just ahead."
"Let's find a place to rest first, then go register tomorrow."
Shui Bing'er sat beside Long Tian, holding a set of registration documents in her hand.
"The preliminary rounds of the Soul Master Tournament will be held in Heaven Dou City."
"All academy teams must register in advance."
Long Tian glanced at the documents.
"The roster for the Skywater Team is already set."
"Next, we just need to participate in the tournament according to the plan."
Shui Bing'er nodded gently.
The carriage drove into the city gates.
The streets were crowded with people, and the hawking of vendors could be heard incessantly.
Through the carriage window, Long Tian saw several civilians in tattered clothes gathered at a street corner.
A fat man blocked the way, reaching out to pull at a young woman.
The woman retreated continuously, her face full of terror.
"Ma Hongjun?"
Long Tian's gaze stopped.
Ma Hongjun was much thinner than before.
After his Evil Fire Phoenix spirit was extracted by Long Tian, his body lost the nourishment of soul power, and he appeared extremely weak.
Yet, the arrogance on that fat face had not changed at all.
"Let her go."
Long Tian lifted the carriage curtain and stepped out directly.
Shui Bing'er followed him out immediately.
"Long Tian, what happened?"
"Ran into an acquaintance."
At the street corner.
Ma Hongjun turned his head, and the moment he saw the white-clad figure, his expression changed rapidly.
"Long Tian?"
Ma Hongjun subconsciously let go.
The woman took the opportunity to retreat to the side, hiding behind an old man.
Ma Hongjun looked at the approaching Long Tian, fear surfacing in the depths of his eyes.
"Why are you in Heaven Dou City?"
"That is a question I should be asking you."
Long Tian stopped a few steps away.
"What were you doing just now?"
Ma Hongjun swallowed hard.
"It's a misunderstanding."
"She bumped into me herself, I was just making her pay for it."
The woman immediately shook her head.
"That's not true."
"He blocked my path and said I was with Shrek, so no one would dare to interfere."
The old man stood in front of the woman.
"Lord Soul Master, please save my granddaughter."
Shui Bing'er's expression darkened.
"Ma Hongjun, you have already been kicked out of Shrek, yet you still dare to bully civilians in Heaven Dou City."
Hearing this, a look of annoyance appeared on Ma Hongjun's face.
"What do you know?"
"My master is Flender, and Shrek won't give up on me."
"As long as I recover my cultivation, I will eventually become a powerful soul master again."
