Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1132: Chapter 1132: Xiuxiu Cultivates Marrow
 

Faint yellow smoke floated out from the Dragon Crystal and slowly entered Lan Xuanyu’s body through his seven orifices.

The Bloodline Whirlpool began to spin rapidly, quickly separating the excess energy. This portion of the energy would not be wasted, as someone was waiting for it.

The Treasure Hunting Beast emerged silently, absorbing and consolidating all the surplus energy into itself. This was the core strength of the upper Dragon Clan members. Even the parts that did not meet the requirements of the Dragon God’s bloodline were still enormously vast and pure.

Amidst the spinning of Lan Xuanyu’s Bloodline Whirlpool, he extracted the purest part of the Dragon Power, slowly raising his hands and placing them on Bai Xiuxiu’s smooth back.

Suddenly, Bai Xiuxiu felt an overwhelming surge of bloodline aura rush into her body, the bloodline energy was so pure and vast. In an instant, she felt as if her soul might leave her body.

Her bloodline ignited instantly, spreading to her limbs and bones, quenching every part of her.

This was a full-body Quenching. She didn’t even need to control it much, nor would there be any problems. Because all the places that were quenched through the burning were instantly repaired by the pure and vast bloodline power that flooded into her from behind, and this power continued to seep into her limbs and bones, strengthening her body.

Lan Xuanyu was far from being a Dragon God, but the bloodline power he was releasing at that moment was filled with the aura of a Dragon God.

Who else with the Dragon martial soul had such a supportive cultivation method? Even on Sky Dragon Planet, a place dominated by powerful dragons, there was none.

Bai Xiuxiu’s body was brimming with Dragon Qi, and as Lan Xuanyu infused Dragon Power, he continuously sensed the changes in Bai Xiuxiu’s body.

At the same time, the energy from the Dragon Crystal, that part which belonged to the divine consciousness, was guided into his own Sea of Spirit by Lan Xuanyu, to refine his Spiritual Power and also to comprehend the mysteries of the divine consciousness.

Compared to Spiritual Power, divine consciousness was much more condensed; if Spiritual Power was an ocean, then divine consciousness was a beam. A beam that could be controlled at will, almost corporeal.

The ocean of the Sea of Spirit had its limits, but the distance that a beam could travel was nearly infinite. It would only weaken as the distance increased.

Lan Xuanyu had some doubts in his heart. According to what Huang Yuanlang had said, when the Dragon Clan reached the God Rank in cultivation, a Dragon Crystal would appear in the brain. The Dragon Crystal should be the result of a transformation emerging from the Sea of Spirit, replacing it, and condensing the divine consciousness.

Lan Xuanyu now had a Dragon Core in both his chest and his Sea of Spirit. Could it be that the Dragon Core would eventually transform into a Dragon Crystal?

The Sea of Spirit would ultimately solidify and compress, turning into a Dragon Crystal? After the compression, the Spiritual Power would undergo qualitative change and sublimation, thus becoming divine consciousness.

This possibility was still very high, at least within Lan Xuanyu’s current perception. This Dragon Crystal was indeed a great treasure, not only bringing vast energy, but most importantly, giving him experience. After reaching a certain level in cultivation, enlightenment was crucial. A single moment of enlightenment could potentially let one cross major hurdles.

After continuing for half an hour, Lan Xuanyu guided Bai Xiuxiu’s bloodline power to gradually retract, drawing it back to the area around the soul core in her chest. The bloodline power fed back to the soul core, gradually merging with it.

He had already started to help Bai Xiuxiu integrate the Soul Power within her soul core with her bloodline power, thereby developing her soul core towards the direction of a Dragon Core.

Unlike Lan Xuanyu, whose Dragon Core was centered around bloodline power with Soul Power on the outside, Bai Xiuxiu’s core had been formed first, making her soul core the center with bloodline power on the outside. However, the goal for both was the same: fusion. Their ultimate aim was fusion as well.

Now with such a disguise, it became difficult for the Dragon Clan on Sky Dragon Planet to detect that she was human. Moreover, the transformation of the soul core allowed her to maintain the Abyss Ice Demon Dragon form for a longer duration while in her Martial Soul True Body state.

The bloodline power retracted internally, interrupting the transmission from the Dragon Crystal. The next moment, he quickly opened another box and used his index finger to scoop up some ointment. Starting from Bai Xiuxiu’s slender neck, he slowly spread the ointment along her spine, extending it downward.

When his fingers reached her waist, he paused briefly before slowly slipping them inside her waistband and continuing to spread the Dragon Marrow all the way to her coccyx.

Bai Xiuxiu’s delicate body shivered slightly, her breathing clearly unstable.

Lan Xuanyu spoke in a deep voice, “Concentrate your spirit, don’t be distracted.” After finishing the application, he quickly retracted his hand and placed both hands back on her back.

At once, the interrupted Dragon Qi poured back in, followed by a burning sensation that instantly spread from her spine, causing Xiuxiu’s entire body to tremble.

At that moment, she felt as though her spine had been set ablaze, burning intensely. She let out a soft grunt, focused her spirit, clenched her teeth to endure, and slowly concentrated her consciousness on her spine, guiding the energy brought by the Dragon Qi and Dragon Marrow to refine her spinal marrow.

The process of refining the spinal marrow was far more painful than she had imagined. It was as if her spine was being crushed and then straightened strand by strand. It couldn’t merely be described as painful; it felt as though she was recreating her body from scratch.

Lan Xuanyu’s spiritual power was also focused on Bai Xiuxiu’s spine. It was her first time cultivating, and only a small amount of Dragon Marrow had been applied, yet Xiuxiu’s reaction was still much more violent than he had anticipated. The energy contained within the Dragon Marrow was distinct from the Dragon Qi of the Dragon Crystal.

The Dragon Qi from the crystal, although vast, was vast and boundless, and yet controllable. But the energy within the Dragon Marrow was incredibly domineering.

He had just finished applying it when the Dragon Marrow had already penetrated into her body through the pores; nothing could be seen on the surface anymore. Then it produced an extremely tyrannical effect.

In terms of tiers, the Dragon Marrow was clearly not as high as the Dragon Crystal, but while the crystal could be used multiple times, the marrow was one-time only. The Dragon Marrow was a treasure second only to the Dragon Crystal and the effects, upon testing, were excellent. However, only the physique of the Dragon Clan could endure it. If other species were to fuse with the marrow, they might die without knowing how, and bursting to death was almost inevitable.

Lan Xuanyu focused the Dragon Qi, continually repairing any damage to Bai Xiuxiu’s spine caused by the invasion of the Dragon Marrow, feeling her own spinal marrow absorbing it.

This one large box of Dragon Marrow could be used for three to five months if used sparingly like this. Lan Xuanyu did not know what effects it would have on him if he were to cultivate with it.

Within this short hour, Bai Xiuxiu nearly experienced a rebirth. The Dragon Crystal and Dragon Marrow were more than mere natural treasures. It was known that Huang Yuanlang had once been somewhat disdainful of the Space Source Crystal, only valuing it somewhat after its source was cut off. But the covetous way he regarded the Dragon Crystal and Marrow was clearly not feigned—that was the most precious thing on Sky Dragon Planet!

She continued for one more hour at most until the effects of the small amount of Dragon Marrow applied began to fade, and Xiuxiu’s breathing gradually steadied, entering a state of self-forgetfulness. Her whole body was absorbing the benefits brought about by her earlier cultivation.

Lan Xuanyu did not infuse her with any more Dragon Power—too much of anything is not good. He, however, continued to cultivate with the help of the Dragon Qi from the Dragon Crystal, while releasing the bloodline aura of the Dragon God around Bai Xiuxiu to assist her continued cultivation.

When they both awoke, it was already the next day’s morning.

Bai Xiuxiu stretched her arms, elongating her torso. Suddenly, she felt a tingling sensation at her spine.
