Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Heart Locking Heart Settling

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

All spirit beasts before grade 5 were all Yin soul bodies. After grade 7 they would slowly change to Yang bodies.

The lightning winged Yang snake was different. since its mutation at the peak of Xuan Mountain and it became his natural protector beast, it had changed to peak Yang. As long as the external strength was enough it could reshape its body.

At this moment one could see bits of blood and meat growing at its core. The shape of the snake was also changing. It originally had a circular head and now horns were growing out, making it look menacing. A pair of fire wings were growing, spreading close to a hundred feet, the small cave was too small of it.

Outside of its soul, it wasn’t pure red anymore and instead layers of fish scale-like patterns appeared.

When the 2nd drop of lightning dragon blood entered, the patterns on its body became more apparent. The blood and meat at the core slowly spread outwards and some bone grew out.

When the 3rd drip was absorbed by the lightning winged Yang snake, it had changed into a flood dragon.

At its core, there was a much smaller giant lightning flood serpent that formed. It was only the size of 2 fingers and looked just like the soul body. It had 2 horns with a mustache under its chin. There were also numerous protrusions all around.

It looked like a small snake but it had the vast majesty of a dragon. Only the pair of fire wings didn’t change and instead, one more pair was added. However, it was really small like the wings of a cicada, hidden behind the fire wings. If one didn’t pay attention one wouldn’t be able to notice.

Zong Shou stretched out to touch, only to feel those protrusions were hard, which should be the 5 legs of the flood dragon. Around its body, there were numerous extremely hard scales.

He knew that not only did the lightning winged Yang dragon advanced, but its nature also raised to become a flood dragon. It also grew out its body.

Zong Shou was delighted. This fellow’s evolution was much stronger than the black flood dragon of Long Ruo. Its horns had formed and dragon claws too. It was just a few steps away from becoming a true dragon. Compared to the black flood dragon, they weren’t even on the same level.

His natural protector beast could already be treated like a baby dragon.

However, although it had the body of a flood dragon it still kept a portion of the ancient winged snake bloodline. Who knows if it was a blessing or a bane.

The fire winged snake was one of the ancient god beasts and was seen by some as the materialization of the sun. The Yang power of its bloodline was beneficial to the lightning giant flood serpent and didn’t conflict.

“Lightning winged flood serpent? Is there going to have a new breed in this world?”

Hyping himself up, Zong Shou suddenly had an idea, only to feel the giant flood dragon turn around and look at him.

Looking closely, those eyes weren’t as sentient as before.

The lightning winged flood serpent seemed to have used up all his strength when it evolved and was exhausted.

It’s soul body went back into Zong Shou’s right arm.

It still didn’t occupy space, just causing his hand to have a tattoo-like drawing. It was like the lightning winged flood dragon, looking extremely life-like like it could jump out at any moment.

Zong Shou sensed and knew that the flood dragon was in deep sleep. Who knows how long it would need until it awoke.

However, he was delighted. This was a grade 7 spirit beast. Its combat strength was close to the god beast level lightning winged flood serpent!

Once its actual body recovered it would become even stronger!

With this natural protector beast, he could sweep the Donglin Cloud Continent. Even if he faced those grade 7 experts, he could put up a fight.

At this moment, even if the lightning winged flood serpent was in deep sleep, he was able to use a portion of its strength.

With just a slight thought, Zong Shou could feel threads of lightning energy surging out from within the body of the flood serpent on his right arm.

It was 3 times more than before it evolved! It was also much purer. It was apparent that the nature of the lightning power had changed.

There were still 6 drops of blood on the glass. This time it belonged to 3 different types, 2 of each.

Zong Shou didn’t hesitate, dropping 2 drops of giant platinum dragon blood into Little Gold.

However this ball of jelly apart from twisting intensely there wasn’t many other changes.

Zong Shou could feel that the 2 drops of Essence blood were hidden in its beast crystal and was being swallowed and digested bit by bit. It was also become stronger little by little.

Zong Shou didn’t bother, the god beast Wanxiang was the only god beast with no original form.

It didn’t reject any bloodline and could merge the original form of all god beasts into itself.

This was why Wanxiang could be ranked 5th out of all god beasts, riding above most of the god beasts of legend at such a respected position.

However, at this moment, its grade was too Low and to merge with these 2, true dragon essence blood would need large amounts of time.

For the last 4 drops, 2 were from the mysterious Ying dragon, the other from the giant yellow dragon, the 2 dragon blood had great powers and mysteries.

Zong Shou slightly hesitated before summoning the one origin sword from his soul ocean out from the back of his head.

He gritted his teeth and dripped the 2 drops of giant yellow dragon blood onto it.

In the next instance, this illusionary spirit sword shook violently. Zong Shou didn’t dare delay and quickly sent the sword back into his soul ocean.

With the unnamed nine-layer giant pagoda suppressing the sword body which was close to breaking instantly stabilized. The sword body was changing, the dragon pattern was becoming more clear and it turned bright yellow.

When the last bit of tremors finally stopped, Zong Shou observed it.

He noticed that the aura of the one origin sword was more vast. The energy of the king path also seemed to have stabilized.

The giant yellow dragon inherited the virtues of the earth. It was the best thing to carry dragon energy.

Dripping it in, after time goes went on, even without the nine-layer pagoda he wouldn’t have to worry about the dragon energy expanding.

This item could also nourish and strengthen dragon energy, causing the dragon energy to have something to rely on.

As for the mysterious Yin dragon blood, Zong Shou directly threw it into his heaven and earth bag.

Zong Shou opened the bottle stopper of the remaining jade bottle and instantly smelled a slightly fishy pill fragrance.

“Dragon blood body training pill?”

This was a really good item. Juelong City had slain numerous dragon race over tens of thousands of years and used their blood to make pills. This dragon blood body training pill was one of them.

It was only grade 4 and wasn’t much stronger than those pills that Xuanyuan Yiren made.

However, since it was dragon blood, it had miraculous effects. If one ate it for a long time, not only could one have the strength of the dragon, but there were legends that one could obtain the skills of the dragon race with the body of a human.

What was lucky was that the jade bottle was large. When he shooking it, he could deduce that there were at least 200 of them.

Zong Shku smiled and casually threw one pill into his mouth.

The taste wasn’t much, it wasn’t as sweet as those that Yiren refined. On the contrary, it was bitter and tasted horrible.

However, when he swallowed it his body seemed to be like a furnace, like he was about to combust.

He didn’t care, looking at the other 2 things in his hand. Within the lamp, there were 4 items, apart from the glass flower pot and the jade bottle, there were a spiritual artifact and a talisman.

One of it was in the shape of a drill. The dark red color seemed like it was from numerous dragon bloods which hardened, covering its original color.

“Dragon breaking drill?”

Zong Shou’s heart shook. This thing was so famous. Legend had it that there were only 3 of them in the world.

It was a grade 8 spiritual artifact which especially targeted the various abilities and body-protecting energy of the dragon race.

In the god-emperor game, the ice hornless dragon of the Water Fairy Lake was hurt by this item and then killed by the attacks of ten thousand players.

A bright light flashed in his mind, Zong Shou understood how that venerable Xuanlang got into this place where no one could enter.

“…so he relied on this drill! The dragon shadow old man used true dragon sword intent to set up restrictions. With this drill, one could break it head-on. But why did Xuanlang leave this drill here? Did that fellow not plan on coming back to find this item?”

Zong Shou looked at the last item, he had a feeling this item was the key.

On the talisman, there was an unusually thick spiritual energy flow such that he couldn’t see the specific grade.

The runes in which were commonly seen. Zong Shou observed it and he recognized half of them.

However, on the back of this talisman, there wrote a line of words on a piece of paper.

“…26 years ago I was invited by the elders to kill the dragon spirit fairy. Who knew that after I saw her my thoughts would change. I thought of her for 20 years, unable to control myself. 3 years ago I heard that city lord had refined this Taixuan heart locking soul settling talisman to capture dragon spirit fairy. I couldn’t bear for her to be captured. Furthermore, I didn’t have much time left in my life which was why I decided to betray…”

The words behind were complicated. The gist of which was that he couldn’t bear to see the people he loved be controlled as a dragon servant. So he stole the talisman, the nine drops of dragon blood, and the tens of spiritual artifacts.

He said that if people in the future can obtain this item, they would be able to get the legacy of the dragon shadow old man. They would be able to prevent these things from falling into the hands of Juelong City.

Behind it was a huge passage on how he loved that dragon spirit fairy and how he thought about her day and night. Anyways, it was corny.

“Heart locking soul settling?”

Zong Shou looked at the talisman in his hand. He couldn’t recognize most of it.

However, since he knew the function, he could deduce the mysteries behind it.

A moment later, his face changed. Holding the talisman he shuddered slightly.

He could confirm that this talisman was above celestial grade! And it was a unique way of crafting.

In the next moment, Zong Shou heard a gleeful laugh from not far away.

“How amusing, that Juelong City schemed so much and in the end, they are like headless flies. To think that Lingyun Longruo is going to go back empty-handed. The treasures left by venerable Xuanlang are going to land in my hands in the end!”

The voice was extremely familiar. Wasn’t that Jin Buhui?”
