Gu Yuena's Rewards Revealed

Bibi Dong paused for a moment.

She looked at Long Yao walking ahead of her.

"I have no idea."

Shui Yue'er immediately pressed for an answer:

You don't know either?

"Without a direct confrontation, it's impossible to judge."

Long Yao did not turn around.

"After finishing my meal, I will go to cultivate."

Shui Yue'er held the bowl and chopsticks.

"Isn't today already over?"

You haven't finished serving the bowls and chopsticks yet.

What happens after you deliver it?

"Practice water droplets."

Shui Yue'er paused in her steps.

"You're practicing even at night?"

"The situation is not yet under control."

Shui Yue'er looked at Bibi Dong.

You need to practice the water droplet technique too.

"Um."

"Then let's do it together."

Bibi Dong nodded.

"Can."

Shui Yue'er immediately quickened her pace.

"Can I go get the Fruit Wine first?"

"Can't."

Long Yao stopped in his tracks.

Shui Yue'er looked down at the bowl in her hand.

Not even half a cup?

"No."

"Then I'll get a pot of water."

"Can."

Shui Yue'er walked back towards the Kitchen.

Bibi Dong followed beside her, carrying a plate.

The two put down their bowls and chopsticks.

Shui Yue'er looked at the fruit basket next to the stove.

"Bibi Dong, could you help me ripen a green fruit tomorrow?"

"Cannot."

"Half a?"

"Cannot."

"Then I'll help you control the water droplets."

Bibi Dong glanced at her.

"You should complete your own cultivation first."

Shui Yue'er sighed softly.

"Since you came to the Skywater Academy, you've become more and more like the Dean."

He has a point.

"Look, here we go again."

The two returned to the lakeside.

Shui Bing'er was already standing on the White Jade Stone Platform.

Thirty-six Ice Crystal floated around her.

Ice Crystal are constantly changing shape.

From petals, they transform into feathers; from feathers, they coalesce into thin blades.

With each change, no chill fell into the lake.

Long Yao stood by the lake.

"Moon, fetch a drop of water."

Shui Yue'er raised her hand.

A drop of lake water rises from the surface.

She shrunk the water droplet to the size of a grain of rice.

"Hanging three inches above the fingertips."

Shui Yue'er controlled the rise of the water droplets.

The water droplet had just settled when it began to sway gently.

She immediately adjusted her Soul Power.

The water droplets returned to calm.

Bibi Dong stood on the other side.

She also raised her right hand.

A drop of water was enveloped in purplish-gold Soul Power.

The Death Spider Emperor Bearing the weight of the water droplets.

The Soul-Eating Spider Emperor withdrew its excess power.

A water droplet hovered above her fingertip.

Both water droplets remain stable simultaneously.

Long Yao sat down at the stone table and poured himself a cup of tea.

Shui Yue'er looked at Bibi Dong.

What do you think of my water droplet?

"Relatively stable."

Do you think mine is bigger than yours?

"Almost."

Shui Yue'er looked at it carefully.

Your water droplet is rounder than mine.

"When you control your Soul Power, the power is unevenly distributed."

Shui Yue'er looked down to observe the water droplets.

Where is the inequality?

"There's a bit more Soul Power on the left side."

Shui Yue'er immediately made adjustments.

Ripples appeared on the surface of the water droplet.

Bibi Dong raised her hand, and a wisp of purple-gold Soul Power landed below the water droplet.

The water droplet stabilized again.

Shui Yue'er looked at her.

"You helped me."

"Just a correction."

"Then I'll help you tomorrow too."

"Don't touch my water droplets yet."

Shui Yue'er withdrew her hand.

I won't touch it.

Shui Bing'er put the last Ice Crystal back into her palm.

She came to Long Yao's side.

"Dean, the second-place prize has been awarded."

"Um."

"Next up is the first place."

Long Yao picked up his teacup.

"Practice first."

Shui Bing'er looked up at the sky.

The first place spot was still covered in gold.

Nobody knows who might appear there.

Shui Yue'er maintained the water droplet.

The Tenth Place breath.

The Tenth Place breath.

The twentieth breath.

A fine ripple appeared on the surface of the water droplet.

She did not increase her Soul Power.

Simply adjust your breathing to calm the water droplets down again.

Bibi Dong watched her movements.

She's making rapid progress.

She will continue to improve.

Long Yao said:

As long as you don't slack off.

Upon hearing this, Shui Yue'er immediately spoke:

"Dean, I didn't slack off."

You missed three practice sessions today.

That's because the Silver Dragon King appeared on the Golden Ranking.

The reason is invalid.

Shui Yue'er pursed her lips.

I'll make it up tomorrow.

"Tomorrow, the Heavy Water Formation at its Nine Inches."

The water droplets on the Shui Yue'er trembled again.

Bibi Dong quickly stabilized the water droplet.

She looked at Shui Yue'er.

Don't get distracted.

Shui Yue'er refocused her attention.

"I see."

The lake returned to calm.

Gu Yuena's name remains etched in the sky.

Her silver dragon shadow surveyed the earth.

And in front of the True Dragon Tower.

Long Yao drinks tea.

Shui Bing'er cultivates Ice Crystal.

Shui Yue'er controls the water droplets.

Bibi Dong practiced her God Level Soul Power.

The four did not continue their discussion about the God King.

Dinner has already ended.

The nighttime training has only just begun.

Lake of Life.

Moonlight fell on her long, silver hair.

Gu Yuena did not return to the bottom of the lake.

She raised her right hand, and a silver portal slowly unfolded in her palm.

When she merged with the Silver Dragon Realm Gate, she only examined the Elements lands connected to the gate.

Only after all three rewards were integrated into her origin did she realize that a dragon pattern, which had never been activated, remained deep within the boundary gate.

The dragon pattern was exactly the same as the pattern on her Divine Core.

"So these three rewards aren't independent of each other."

Di Tian stood by the lake.

He watched the silver light gradually appearing in the center of the doorway, but did not approach.

The God King's essence is circulating.

Even though Gu Yuena had already withdrawn her power, the space around the portal continued to fold and collapse.

Gu Yuena extended her index finger and touched the center of the dragon pattern.

The Elements Ancestral Scale emerged from her chest.

Nine colors lit up in sequence, flowing along the arm into the Silver Dragon Realm Gate.

Deep within the portal, an area that had been obscured by the silver light was revealed.

There are no mountains or rivers there.

There was neither Sun Moon.

Nine Origin Rivers of different colors flow around an empty silver stone platform.

In the center of the stone platform, there is a dragon-shaped indentation.

Gu Yuena's purple eyes narrowed slightly.

"The Origin Restoration Ground."

The Elements power she had sensed earlier was only the power of the outermost layer of this space.

The true source suitable for the repair of the Divine Core has always been sealed around the stone platform.

Without the Elements Ancestral Scale, even if she opened the Boundary Gate, she would not be able to channel these powers into the Divine Core.

Above the sky.

Below the second-place ranking, the golden text that had stopped changing lit up again.

[The Silver Dragon King has completed the three rewards for achieving Origin Resonance.]

[The Silver Dragon King Divine Core Origin, for repairing the foundation.]

[The Elements Ancestral Scale is the Bearing of the origin.]

[The Silver Dragon Realm Gate is the gateway to the origin.]

[When these three operate together, Nine-Origin Core-Restoration Circuit can be established.]

Di Tian raised his head.

His gaze lingered on the last line of text.

"My Master, can these rewards be used to further repair your Divine Core?"

"Able."

Gu Yuena looked at the silver stone platform behind the door.

"The 30% that was previously repaired was a direct gift from the Golden Ranking."

"The remaining injuries will require me to Refinement my own essence."

She raised her hand and pushed it forward.

The Silver Dragon Realm Gate left the palm and stopped in the center of the Lake of Life.

The original door, which was only the size of a palm, was gradually expanded to three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in size.

Each of the nine Origin Rivers split into a thin stream, passed through the boundary gate, and fell towards the Elements Ancestral Scale.

The flames arrived first.

Immediately afterwards, ice and lightning surged in simultaneously.

When the three primal sources come into contact, fine silver patterns immediately appear on the surface of the Ancestral Scale.

Those silver patterns separate the origins and guide them to flow along different paths.

Gu Yuena did not absorb it directly.

She watched the changes on the Ancestral Scale, her fingertips tracing each of the nine lines one by one.

Only when the last wisp of Spatial Origin returned to its place did the silver dragon scales fully unfold.

A thin layer of silver light covered her shoulders.

Then came the arms.

Waist and abdomen.

Silver armor materialized along her body, with nine crystals of different colors embedded in the armor.

The armor did not release any pressure.

The lake surface, however, returned to calm at that moment.

The space that had been constantly folding due to the repair of the Divine Core has also stabilized again.

Di Tian gazed at the Silver Armor on her shoulders.

He could sense that the Elements aura leaking from the Master was decreasing.

It's not a sign of weakened power.

Instead, the power that originally required mental effort to suppress was all contained by the armor.

The list of Golden Ranking has been published again.

[Silver Dragon King Battle Body Condensed.]

[Elements Ancestral Scale can construct Origin Cycle outside the body.]

[Reduce the stress Bearing the damaged Divine Core.]

[Reduces the energy loss when using the God King's essence.]

[The current status of the Divine Core's repair remains unchanged.]

[Enhanced sustained combat capability.]

"I see."

Gu Yuena looked down at her palm.

In the past, every time she called upon the source of the God King, she had to direct the power through the location of the crack in the Divine Core.

The greater the strength, the greater the pressure the injury will bear.

Now, the Elements Ancestral Scale have taken over part of its operation for her.

She doesn't need to wait for her Divine Core to fully recover before she can use the power of the God King for an extended period.

Di Tian knelt down on one knee.

Congratulations, Your Master.

Bi Ji by the lake also bowed down.

She knows best how many lives have been lost to the bottom of the Lake of Life over the long years.

Those glimmers of life could only nourish Gu Yuena's divine body.

However, it cannot truly fill the gap in the Divine Core.

Now, the Master finally possesses a source of origin capable of self-repair.

Gu Yuena did not stop.

She lit up the nine crystals on the Silver Armor one by one.

The essence, after being combed by the Ancestral Scale, transformed into a wisp of silver light as thin as a hair, slowly entering the space between the eyebrows.

Deep within the Divine Core.

An unhealed crack came into her perception.

The edge of the crack no longer exuded Asura Baleful Qi.

But the missing Divine Core remains empty.

Ordinary cosmic energy entering it will simply dissipate from both sides of the crack.

This time, the silver light stopped.

The nine primordial elements are arranged in the order on the Ancestral Scale, attaching themselves little by little to the edge of the crack.

The first layer of silver patterns has taken shape.

Then, a second layer of silver patterns was applied over it.

Gu Yuena slowly unfurled her fingers that were hanging at her sides.

The Divine Core, which had been empty for countless years, finally began to solidify again.

The changes are minimal.

But it did not collapse again.

She opened her eyes.

"I'll be able to stay."

Di Tian looked up at her.

"My Master?"

"The newly formed essence will not be lost again."

Gu Yuena reached out and withdrew some of her Elements power.

The silver vein on the Divine Core still remained.

She closed the Silver Dragon Realm Gate by half an inch.

The flow of the original source thus slows down.

The silver streaks did not disappear.

A hint of joy finally appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes.

The healing items bestowed by the Golden Ranking are not those that can only be used once.

As long as this cycle continues, each time she cultivates, she can truly alleviate her injuries.

[The Nine-Origin Core-Restoration Circuit has been successfully established.]

[The Silver Dragon King gains the ability to continuously repair the Divine Core.]

[Repair speed is limited by the Bearing capacity of the Divine Core.]

Forcibly drawing in excessive amounts of primordial energy will increase the burden on the Divine Core.

[Current loop is stable.]

After reading the text, Di Tian looked back at the boundary gate.

"My Master, should we draw all the life force from the Lake of Life?"

"No need."

Gu Yuena raised her hand, dispersing the remaining array patterns at the bottom of the lake.

What I lack now is not more energy.

"It's about allowing the Divine Core to gradually absorb these fundamental elements."

One of the array's focal points at the bottom of the lake slowly went out.

The life force that had been continuously gathering downwards stopped.

A ray of emerald light rose from the water and landed on the shore.

The grass in front of Bi Ji unfurled its leaves.

The branches that had been pressed down by the dragon's might also straightened up again.

She reached out and caught a glimmer of hope.

"My Master, the life force in the lake..."

"From now on, there's no need to use all of it for nourishing this seat."

Gu Yuena looked towards the lakeside.

"Reserve 30% for the Core Circle's recovery."

Bi Ji bowed in agreement.

"Yes."

As soon as her Jade Origin came into contact with that ray of green light, a previously stagnant meridian slowly became unblocked.

This was not a reward bestowed upon her solely by the Golden Ranking.

Instead, the Lake of Life no longer has to bear the heavy burden of consumption it once did.

As Di Tian watched the life force gradually flowing outward, the Commander Seal his brows lit up for a moment.

He did not absorb it.

Having just obtained the Dragon God Origin, he still needs to continue Refinement.

This life force is even more useful to other injured Soul Beast.

In the middle of the lake.

The Silver Dragon Realm Gate shrank again and stopped behind Gu Yuena.

The nine primordial streams have never been broken.

They passed through the portal, flowed along the Silver Armor into the Divine Core, and then sent the unabsorbed portion back to the Elements land.

The entire process did not disturb the surrounding lake water.

Gu Yuena raised her right hand.

The Silver Dragon Spear rose from the bottom of the lake and landed in his palm.

The nine crystals on the Silver Armor lit up one by one.

She didn't draw her gun; instead, she let a primordial energy flow along the gun barrel.

A slit was split in the space in front of the spear tip.

The next moment.

She withdrew her power.

The crack closed on its own, and the Silver Armor regained its luster.

No tearing pain was felt from the Divine Core.

Gu Yuena gripped the gun and paused for a moment.

"In the past, after I intervened, I had to suppress my injuries again."

"Now, this expenditure can be replenished on its own."

Di Tian lowered his head.

He did not ask again how much fighting strength his Master could restore.

The answer is clear enough from the changes we see today.

On the Golden Ranking, the last few lines of text appeared below Gu Yuena's name.

[The deep-seated effects of the Silver Dragon King's three rewards have been fully manifested.]

[The Divine Core can be sustainably repaired.]

[The Elements source can be replenished in a loop.]

[The Silver Dragon King Battle Body can share the burden of the Divine Core.]

[The Silver Dragon Realm Gate can contain the scattered aura of cultivation.]

[All three rewards are now in Gu Yuena's possession.]

After reading it, Gu Yuena put away the Silver Dragon Spear.

Her Silver Armor transformed into nine thin rays of light, which then merged back into the Elements Ancestral Scale.

Even though the armor was no longer visible, the Origin Cycle.

The silver portal sank into the lake along with her.

"Di Tian."

"Your subordinate is here."

The protective array around the lake bottom remains unchanged.

"During my repair of the Divine Core, there is no need to send Dragon Clan essence to the bottom of the lake."

Di Tian bowed in respect.

"The Di Tian obeys."

The lake water slowly closed in.

Gu Yuena returned to her original sleeping position, but did not immediately close her eyes.

She placed her palms against her chest, sensing the newly formed silver patterns on the crack in her Divine Core.

A second silver line is forming.

The speed is still slow.

But this time, she no longer needed to rely on the Lake of Life to maintain that source that could dissipate at any moment.
