Gu Yuena's beautiful eyes clearly reflected Shen Hanyu's figure. After sweeping her gaze over the Snow Emperor and the other two, her expression showed no change. She did not rush to answer Shen Hanyu's question but simply walked toward the depths on her own.
The Snow Emperor quickly came to Shen Hanyu's side, frowning slightly as she looked at Gu Yuena's back, then said softly:
"Are you okay?"
Shen Hanyu shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine, and only then said softly:
"According to Gu Yuena, this is the fallen land of an ancient Dragon King. I'm not sure about the rest, but soul power cannot be used here. When we crossed the space earlier, I noticed that the spatial magnetic field outside is extremely chaotic. Without borrowing special channels to enter, even I would find it difficult to remain completely unscathed..."
"As for how to get out afterward, we'll probably have to wait for Gu Yuena's actions..."
The Snow Emperor nodded, glancing at Bi Ji and Zi Ji, who were already following Gu Yuena toward the depths, and said softly:
"Let's follow and take a look. If it's just the two of us, the price to pay for freely entering and exiting won't be small. Since she understands this place, she should also know the specific method..."
Shen Hanyu took hold of the Snow Emperor's jade-like hand, gently hummed in acknowledgment, and then together they set off in the direction where Gu Yuena and the other two had left...
...
After walking for a moment in this white wasteland, a faint dragon roar suddenly came from the distance. Shen Hanyu's brows twitched slightly, and he involuntarily quickened his pace.
In the distance, a huge white light ring was emitting a soft halo. Countless strands of white airflow slowly seeped out from within, eventually turning into pure soul power that continuously reinforced the surrounding space.
Outside the huge white light ring, Bi Ji stood alone. Zi Ji and Gu Yuena had already disappeared, and the faint dragon roar was coming from within this light ring, which was a full hundred meters in size.
Bi Ji noticed the two people behind her, then turned around and said softly:
"Master took Zi Ji inside first. You also possess the top bloodline of the Dragon Clan. Master asked me to inform you that if you are willing, you can also go inside to explore..."
Shen Hanyu and the Snow Emperor exchanged a glance. He reassuringly patted the Snow Emperor's hand, then, almost without any hesitation, slowly extended one hand into the white halo.
After a flash of dazzling white light, Shen Hanyu disappeared from the spot. The aura scattered around him also vanished without a trace, as if he had never appeared there at all.
The Snow Emperor turned her gaze to Bi Ji. Their eyes met in the air, and the Snow Emperor spoke first:
"What exactly is this place..."
Bi Ji smiled helplessly and said:
"I'm not sure either, but according to Master, this is indeed the fallen land of an ancient Dragon King, but it's not just that. What secrets it holds can probably only be known after the three of them come out..."
"At the same time, Master said that there are ancient restrictions inside, and only those with the top Dragon Clan bloodline or soul beasts can enter. Like you, I can only wait outside..."
The Snow Emperor nodded without asking more. She could see that Bi Ji, like her, had quite a few doubts. At such a time, patiently waiting was undoubtedly the best solution...
...
Within the soft white halo, Shen Hanyu slowly opened his eyes. The white that nearly occupied the entire space before him was not glaring but instead gave a warm and comfortable feeling. At the center of this white halo was a white bead suspended in mid-air.
Relying on the residual aura, Shen Hanyu quickly made a judgment. This was clearly a dragon core, and a rare light-attribute dragon core at that.
Near that dragon core, Zi Ji was already sitting cross-legged on the ground. Strands of white halo were slowly entering her body. Gu Yuena stood to the side without taking any action. Noticing Shen Hanyu, she said with a light smile:
"My guess was indeed correct. This fallen ancient Dragon King was indeed a predecessor of my Dragon Clan with light attributes..."
Shen Hanyu frowned slightly, walked slowly to Gu Yuena's side, and said:
"Explain it to me..."
Gu Yuena did not mind Shen Hanyu's attitude at all and simply said softly:
"Back then, you absorbed the residual divine power and dragon souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings to forge your god-level second martial soul. Afterward, to seek the ultimate yin-yang balance, you separately absorbed three extreme ice and three extreme fire attribute soul rings, and your strength therefore skyrocketed..."
"But your process of strength improvement was also the process of your second martial soul gradually fully fusing with you. Do you know what this represents..."
Shen Hanyu's gaze flickered, and he quickly said:
"It represents that I have completely inherited the complete bloodlines of the two Ice and Fire Dragon Kings..."
Gu Yuena nodded and continued:
"Correct, that's exactly what I wanted to say..."
"The Dragon Clan is undoubtedly the pinnacle of the entire Douluo Continent. You, who have inherited two top bloodlines, have even surpassed Di Tian in this regard, and are not too far from me either. But the only difference is that you are human, not a true Dragon Clan member..."
Shen Hanyu looked at Gu Yuena and said softly:
"I don't understand what you mean..."
Gu Yuena revealed a stunning smile, and her expression gradually became serious. With a distant gaze, she said word by word:
"You are human, but you can also be a true dragon. Although your human martial soul's true bodies, and the characteristics of some martial souls can briefly bestialize you to burst out even stronger power, this is based on the martial soul, soul rings, and even soul skills obtained. The duration and the upper limit of the power that can be burst are limited to a certain range..."
"Such soul skills are far from the end you can endure. What I want to do is to shape a true dragon body for you..."
"A true god-level Dragon Clan incarnation..."
At this point, Gu Yuena paused slightly, then continued:
"Perhaps you don't understand why I would do this, or perhaps you don't understand my true thoughts, but the heavenly timing, geographical advantage, and human harmony are almost all gathered here. You can think it over carefully before answering me..."
"Additionally, I believe you have also felt the special nature of this place. At the same time, the flow of time here is much slower than outside. This special environment has caused this Dragon King's remnant consciousness to have been completely worn away, but its corpse has been preserved quite intact..."
Shen Hanyu slightly lowered his eyes, seemingly pondering whether what Gu Yuena said was feasible. After a long while, Shen Hanyu chuckled lightly and said:
"You're thinking so much for me like this; for a moment, I can't even tell if this is good or bad..."
Gu Yuena seemed not at all surprised by Shen Hanyu's concerns. After thinking for a moment, she said softly:
"Your encounter with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was also the encounter of two races with completely different destinies. Before I left the Star Dou Great Forest, she told me that she really likes you. She said she saw a fragment of the future in you and felt the call and joy unique to destiny. From that time on, I began to ponder how much possibility there is in the future you envision..."
"The fate of the soul beast clan could be vastly different with a single thought from me. The pressure and responsibility I bear do not allow me to give up such an excellent opportunity as this. But at the same time, I understand a principle: benefits need to be exchanged and shared. This is an eternal truth, just like trade in your human world. I think you should understand my thoughts..."
Shen Hanyu's gaze passed through those beautiful purple eyes. A flash of amusement flickered in his eyes, and he nodded, saying:
"Although you sometimes don't seem too reliable, I have indeed felt sincerity in you. I hope everything will not disappoint us..."
"Now, you can tell me your ideas and the specific action measures..."
A hint of joy appeared in Gu Yuena's eyes, and she said softly:
"This process is not complicated; it can even be said to be extremely simple."
"You and I only need to jointly urge the bloodline power within our bodies to inject into this complete corpse, causing it to regrow flesh and blood."
"As I said earlier, because this ancient Dragon King has fallen for far too long, its remnant consciousness has completely vanished. It can even be said that as long as flesh and blood regrow on this corpse, it will be a brand-new body. At the same time, this corpse naturally will not have a sea of spirit. At that time, you only need to control your spiritual power to gradually and thoroughly master this body, recondense a sea of spirit for it, and at the same time refine and fuse it with your current body. Everything will then be complete..."
"Once successful, not only can you freely switch between human form and beast form like a ferocious beast, but each body will have its own advantages and strengths, and you will be able to use your various skills simultaneously. Your physical quality will also be rapidly elevated, and there will even be a chance to leap over half-god in one go and reach god-level..."
Shen Hanyu stared directly at Gu Yuena, then chuckled lightly but did not respond.
He had more or less guessed some of Gu Yuena's ideas, but it was undeniable that the suggestion she proposed was indeed all benefits and no harm to him at present.
He had already witnessed the power and terror of Tang Chen's half-god body before. Now, an opportunity sufficient for him to easily bypass many twists and troubles had appeared before him. Naturally, he did not need to refuse.
The two each had their own calculations and plans in mind, but at least on the surface, they had reached a consensus. This was a very subtle matter. They clearly knew each other's calculations but tacitly chose to ignore them. Neither wanted to tear faces at this time. In the end, there was actually not much conflict in their ultimate interests.
...
Everything was prepared. When Gu Yuena's palm touched that white dragon core, the calm dragon core suddenly trembled slightly. Then, the white halo behind it slowly dissipated, replaced by a dim and lightless space.
In the dark space, a huge dragon corpse came into view.
Unlike the other dragon corpses Shen Hanyu had seen, this dragon corpse was extremely well preserved. The white bones were lustrous like jade. Even though it had completely perished, it still emitted an inviolable majesty unique to superiors.
Shen Hanyu seemed to hear Gu Yuena let out a faint, almost inaudible sigh. Her tone was hard to conceal with sadness and desolation, but when Shen Hanyu looked over, Gu Yuena showed no change at all.
"Let's begin. The effect of my soul skill can at most keep those human soul masters outside unconscious for one to two days. Once they wake up, it will probably be chaos outside..."
Gu Yuena said softly.
Shen Hanyu nodded. After gently exhaling a breath of turbid air, nine soul rings slowly rose. The heaven-defying soul ring configuration made even Gu Yuena look at them a few more times.
Accompanied by strands of blood flowing out from Shen Hanyu and Gu Yuena's bodies, they finally fell toward various parts of the dragon corpse as if drawn by something.
Half an hour later, the white-as-jade bones were stained with bright red blood, incomparably poignant and beautiful. Shen Hanyu and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance and tacitly stopped their actions.
Immediately after, the blood that had stained various places slowly permeated into the bones. A red light bloomed. Gu Yuena's lips revealed a trace of a smile. With a slight hook of her fingertip, a drop of seven-colored blood slowly appeared on her fingertip and was gently flicked into the corpse by her.
Seven-colored light shot into the sky. This corpse, which had been silent for so long, seemed to burst with vitality again. An indescribable sense of majesty spread...
At this critical moment, Gu Yuena once again took out a piece of Life Gold the size of an adult's fist and sent it into the dragon corpse's dantian area. The rich and lively life energy erupted with green light that momentarily covered the other colors, enveloping the entire dragon corpse within it.
"It's about time. Wait for the corpse to absorb the bloodline energy from you and me and the life energy from the Life Gold, then regrow flesh and blood. You can prepare to begin refining..."
Gu Yuena said softly, and at the same time, she let out a light breath. Her face was somewhat pale.
Shen Hanyu nodded and then said seriously:
"This time counts as me owing you a favor. Afterward, I will compensate you in the way you want..."
Gu Yuena chuckled twice, then rolled her eyes and said somewhat amusingly:
"Do you know what I really want? Yet you open your mouth so confidently. Is this what you humans call... drawing a pie?"
Shen Hanyu neither confirmed nor denied it, simply smiling lightly.
...
About three hours passed. Gu Yuena slowly opened her pair of purple beautiful eyes, looked at Shen Hanyu opposite her, and said:
"You can make the best preparations..."
"With your level of spiritual power, thoroughly mastering and refining this corpse won't be difficult. I will protect you. Of course, this process won't be pleasant. What you need to refine is not only this corpse but also your own soul. Of course, I think this isn't much for you either..."
Gu Yuena's tone seemed to hide a trace of amusement and anticipation before watching a good show, which for a moment even surprised Shen Hanyu.
"Refining the soul, huh..."
"My journey has been too smooth all the way. Occasionally, having some tribulations is acceptable. Thank you for the reminder, old monster..."
Shen Hanyu chuckled lightly. He was not particularly fearful but instead somewhat expectant.
Ignoring Gu Yuena's gaze that looked ready to eat someone, Shen Hanyu took a deep breath and then slowly sat down cross-legged. His vast spiritual power, and without a moment's hesitation, rushed straight towards the corpse of the dragon, burning with red and green flames...
