[Defeat Taiwei! Obtain the treasure chest - Taiwei!]
[Defeat the intruder! Obtain a wisp of Spirit Rhyme!]

[Defeat the intruder! Obtain a wisp of Spirit Rhyme!]
Taiwei, one of the three great spirit generals of Yulin Street, and the seven invaders from the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace were all squatted to death by Xiong Da.
"Grass!"
The three remaining invaders were completely stunned by the enormous creature before them.
That's terrifying, I can't even imagine it.
If it weren't for the magical artifact protecting him, he would have been killed by being sat on like the other seven unlucky souls.
"Stop talking and run!"
The leader pulled out a jade talisman and immediately tried to escape, but in the next instant, Xiong Da opened his mouth and let out a loud roar.
"You think you can run away from my god?"
A visible gust of air rushed forward, but it seemed to have gone a bit too far, as all three intruders were sprayed into a bloody mist.
"Well..."
Slightly annoyed, Xiong Da scratched his head, feeling quite frustrated.
The original plan was to knock these people unconscious and then hand them over to Xu Long for interrogation, but after not having done so for many years, he suddenly lost control.
"Yeah, it's not my fault, they must be too weak."
Xiong Da muttered to himself and immediately came up with his explanation.
However, Xu Long didn't ask any questions. These people died, so what? It wasn't a big deal.
As for extracting information through torture, there's no rush.
Since that force called the Eternal Life Heavenly Palace has invaded this world, it is highly likely that there are more than just this many people.
It's not too late to interrogate them when we meet again.
If not, it doesn't matter, just kill them all.
While Xiong Da was having a good time killing, Cao Yanbing and Xia Ling had already led three Guardian Spirit into the main hall to fight Nan Yufu.
Seeing this, Xu Long didn't rush in to fight, but instead took out Spirit Rhyme.
This thing is as thin as a hair and is entirely golden; it's easy to miss if you don't look closely.
Upon seeing this thing, Xu Long felt an instinctive longing arise within his soul.
Not only him, but even Xiong Da's gaze was fixed on it.
"You want it?"
Xu Long looked up and asked Xiong Da.
"Hey-hey."
Xiong Dahan nodded naively, his face full of desire.
"If you want it, this thread is yours!"
Xu Long flicked his hand, and Xiong Da immediately absorbed the wisp of Spirit Rhyme.
Visible to the naked eye, a golden line entered through the nostril, circled Xiong Da's body, and was completely absorbed.
Xu Long sensed that Xiong Da's aura had changed; the intensity was still the same, but it was more restrained.
Guardian Spirit are all souls, with their physical bodies constructed from spiritual energy. The enhancement that Spirit Rhyme brings to Guardian Spirit is much stronger than that for the Spirit Host.
This time, ten invaders were killed, and ten strands of Spirit Rhyme were obtained.
Xu Long gave Xiong Da a strand, and kept the remaining nine strands for himself.
"Phew, this feeling..."
Xu Long exclaimed in amazement, feeling absolutely thrilled.
The improvement of the soul is far more difficult than cultivation level, so one can imagine how precious Spirit Rhyme essence is.
To ascend to immortality, one must shed the physical body and have one's primordial spirit reshaped using immortal energy after ascending to the immortal realm.
Because after becoming an immortal, one no longer uses spiritual energy, but immortal essence, and the physical body reshaped by immortal energy is more compatible with immortal essence.
However, there are always trade-offs. Although it is more compatible with immortal essence, its strength is far inferior to the physical body that one has painstakingly tempered for hundreds or thousands of years.
This explains why those who achieved sainthood through physical means, such as Yang Jian and Son Goku, are more powerful than ordinary Kami.
However, there are always trade-offs. Physical ascension to sainthood is only advantageous in the early and mid-stages, and becomes largely useless in the later stages.
The physical body of any Daluo Golden Immortal is incredibly powerful, in no way inferior to that of someone who has achieved sainthood through physical cultivation.
To put it bluntly, there's no difference between before and after becoming an immortal; it's all about talent, wealth, or simply waiting out time.
The nine strands of Spirit Rhyme were absorbed, but Xu Long felt it wasn't enough; he needed more.
Unfortunately, there were too few invaders; they could only hope to encounter them again in the future.
Looking at the location of the main hall, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Li Xuanyuan, Nan Yufu were locked in a fierce battle, which was unlikely to end anytime soon.
Xu Long simply opened both treasure chests to see what good stuff was inside.
[Obtained 12 High-Grade Spirit Stone!]
[Obtained 13 High-Grade Spirit Stone!]
[Gained 3 Soul Essence!]
[Gained 5 Soul Essence!]
Name: Soul Essence
Level: None
Type: Consumables/Other
Origin: Rakshasa Street
Effect:
1. After absorption, it can greatly enhance soul power, and has an even better effect on Guardian Spirit.
Description: The essence that condenses after defeating Guardian Spirit contains extremely pure soul power.
"Excellent, excellent, exactly what we urgently need!"
Of the eight Soul Essence, two were given to Xiong Da, and the remaining six were kept by myself.
"Thank God for His grace!"
He happily put the two pieces of Soul Essence into his mouth. Although the size of these things was not even enough to fill a gap between his teeth, the pure power within them was exactly what he needed.
Xu Long is currently in a state of severe resource shortage; both spiritual energy and soul power are in short supply.
The Main God seemed to know this, as each time he opened a treasure chest, it contained various resources.
That's actually quite normal; the rewards given by the Main God are often targeted.
When there's no equipment, give us equipment; when there's no skill, give us skill. Now that there are no resources, give us resources.
Having reached Xu Long's level of cultivation, his need for skills and equipment has dropped to a minimum.
He possesses the Azure Firmament Celestial Star Formation Diagram, which combines offense and defense; anything other than a spirit weapon or higher is trash to him.
In terms of skills, is there anything more powerful than the Power of Oblivion and Curse Speech Technique?
Therefore, improving one's cultivation level is the primary goal.
Furthermore, his consumption of spiritual energy is hundreds of times that of ordinary cultivators, making his demand for resources even greater.
While Cao Yanbing dealt with his own tasks, he was still working feverishly on his end.
A burst of powerful energy shot out, accompanied by a deafening roar.
Xiong Dadu had already wiped out all the Spirit Armor Army in Yulin Street, but the battle here was not yet over.
Xu Long did not participate in their battle because, according to the plot, Xiang Kunlun, who is said to possess one of the strongest Human Martial Spirit, was about to arrive.
There are two people known as the strongest Human Martial Spirit: Xiang Yu and Lü Bu.
One was Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu; the other was the assassin of his adoptive father.
One is the best in the world, the other is invincible.
Xiang Yu is viewed much better in history Lü Bu, but Lü Bu's strength cannot be denied.
When Lü Bu was alive, Guan Yu was humble and polite. After Lü Bu's death, Guan Yu saw everyone as a mere commoner.
When Lü Bu was alive, anyone who could survive against Lü Bu was a formidable general. After Lü Bu's death, everyone possessed the same courage as Lü Bu had in his prime.
As a descendant of Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, Xiang Kunlun possessed immense strength.
He is not Martial God Body, but he is able to summon many Guardian Spirit.
In the original storyline, if it weren't for the brothers Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan protecting their master in a critical moment, Cao Yanbing would probably have been beaten to death.
However, Xiang Kunlun was nothing special in front of Xu Long.
His ancestor Xiang Yu was living a carefree life in the Yanhuang Divine Kingdom; he was just a mere junior, easily dismissed.
