Chapter 737: The Black and White Dragon Egg
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Next to Mo Wen’s leg was a large, pure white egg of light. On the egg of light, beautiful ancient runes flickered. These runes appeared and disappeared from time to time. They were visible for one second and invisible the next. They were exceptionally mysterious. Beams of starlight surged into the egg of light, causing some starlight to be added to its surface. It seemed as though the vast and beautiful starry sky was imprinted on it.
Two Divine Dragons, one black and one white, constantly moved about on the egg of light. They subtly emanated a remarkable power.
The exquisite Purple Bottle Gourd sat on Mo Wen’s head. It released beams of purple light which fused with the surrounding starlight. The beams of light became a bridge, connecting the egg of light and Mo Wen.
Endless starlight kept surging into the cocoon of light. Time seemed to have stopped. He did not know how much time had passed. It was seemingly a lot and yet seemingly only an instant.
The lights in the starry sky went out one by one, seemingly burning up the last of their brilliant light. Eventually, all the starlight was extinguished, and the world was dark. Only within the cocoon of starlight was a faint light still visible.
A faint white light shone on Mo Wen’s eyebrows. The light flashed and a human silhouette appeared in the cocoon of light. The silhouette was very illusionary. It seemed that a gust of wind could blow it out of existence. But in the cocoon of starlight, it was exceptionally stable, as though the end of the world would not affect it.
Mo Wen looked extremely shocked as he observed his surroundings and then looked at his own body. Before his eyes was a figure that was sitting cross-legged with the exquisite Purple Bottle Gourd sat properly on its head. The black and white dragon egg was below at its feet. Nothing had changed. The only change was that his soul had left his body.
“Primordial Soul Emergence?”
A bizarre term surfaced in Mo Wen’s mind, along with a sense of disbelief. Primordial Soul Emergence could only be done by immortal cultivators whose cultivation had reached the Primordial Soul realm and had coalesced a Primordial Soul. Only immortal cultivators that possessed a Primordial Soul could independently leave their own bodies.
Right now, he was but an ancient martial art practitioner. How could he perform a Primordial Soul Emergence?
Although the silhouette that had separated from his body was very illusionary, it was indeed a Primordial Soul Emergence, an embodiment of the substantialization of the soul.
Mo Wen slowly lifted his hands and looked at his illusionary body. After pondering deeply for a moment, he finally confirmed that he was not a Primordial Soul, but an existence that was between a soul and a Primordial Soul. Or maybe it should be said that his soul power had localized, becoming even more abundant and much vaster.
Although he had previously also had a Localized Soul, at most only one percent of his soul power had deified. Now, fifty percent of his soul power had deified. Deified Soul Power was the foundation for coalescing a Primordial Soul. Only by converting all his soul power into Deified Soul Power could he coalesce a Primordial Soul.
With his soul power being fifty percent Deified Soul Power, it could be said that he had exceeded that of a formless soul without essence, and reached a level where he had a form but still lacked essence, somewhere in between a soul and a Primordial Soul.
Once he coalesced a Primordial Soul, his soul would have both form and essence.
The way of Practice of the Divine Soul Trillion Layers could only cause at most two to three percent of his soul power to be converted into Deified Soul Power. He had never imagined a fifty percent conversion rate because it did not seem possible.
But what was going on now? He had actually inexplicably reached it and without any explanation.
Mo Wen looked at his own body. He discovered that his soul and body had completely lost their connection. He could not control his body at all.
In reality, he could not control his body at all before this. He had been constantly in a daze, not knowing what was happening.
His most vivid memory from before this was defeating the Dragon Horse. Then, the Purple Bottle Gourd had appeared, followed by a white light enveloping him. He was clueless as to what happened after that.
“What’s going on?”
Mo Wen looked at everything around him. Right now, he could not figure out why he had appeared here or what everything was around him.
He looked at his own body. He felt an endless spiritual aura surging into his body. It felt as though he had become one with the world. The spiritual aura that he obtained before, compared to what he had now, was practically child’s play.
“What is that?”
Mo Wen turned his gaze and looked at the dragon egg at his feet. A stunned look flashed in his eyes as he looked at the two ancient Divine Dragons, one white and one black, on the dragon egg. Somewhat shocked, he said, “Could it be…a Dragon Horse?”
Mo Wen had a strange expression. Wasn’t the Dragon Horse dead? How had it appeared here, and how had it become a dragon egg? On the surface of the dragon egg, there was, without a doubt, the aura of the Dragon Horse. The final attack of the Dragon Horse had burnt it up completely, including its soul. It should have been impossible for it to have survived.
He looked at everything before him, somewhat stunned. At the same time, he also discovered that beams of starlight kept surging into his illusionary body. As time passed, his illusionary soul became more and more solid. After some time, its appearance did not look any different from his flesh body.
Not only had he never seen such a thing, Mo Wen had never even heard of something like that happening. Even the Primordial Soul realm immortal cultivator’s Primordial Soul could not have coalesced to such a degree.
After his soul body completely coalesced, an attractive force came from his flesh body, instantly sucking his soul back in.
Suddenly, Mo Wen opened his eyes. In his gaze, he could see the moon and the stars shining. It seemed as though the whole universe was stored in his eyes.
His consciousness was completely awakened. But he discovered that he still could not move at all.
He felt a slight shudder in his body. Four feathers suddenly flew out, becoming four ancient mythical birds that were tens of thousands of kilometers long. The four mythical birds suddenly circled him, seemingly rather happy.
Although Mo Wen could not move, he could check his own body. He discovered that his body had already recovered to its normal condition. The frightening cultivation from the Fighting Spirit Tower had completely disappeared from his body.
However, it didn’t mean that he was left empty-handed. He discovered that in his core, there was a fist sized white Golden Elixir. The Golden Elixir was entirely pure white, not black, gold or jade green. It was not the color of any attribute that belonged to the martial arts methods that he practiced. It was only white, an immaculate pure white.
“The Golden Elixir Realm!”
A look of joy flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. As expected, his cultivation had broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm. Also, his Golden Elixir was as big as a fist. Most likely in terms of cultivation, ordinary later stage Golden Elixir Realm ancient martial art practitioners could not compare to him.
Aside from his cultivation, he discovered that his declarative memory had also undergone some changes. When his consciousness dived into his declarative memory, the sight before his eyes stunned him with astonishment.
Originally, although his declarative memory was much larger than that of ordinary people, his soul power was powerful enough to sense the boundaries of his declarative memory. But right now, he could not detect the boundaries of his own declarative memory at all. No matter how far his consciousness extended, he could not come in contact with the boundary. It could only be described as endless.
Also, his declarative memory was full of a vibrant spirituality. The spirituality was everywhere, filling his entire declarative memory.
At the center of his declarative memory, there was a faint, pure white cocoon of light. On the cocoon of light, a peerless spiritual aura emanated, tens of thousands of times thicker and richer than the spiritual fire’s spiritual aura.
“What is happening?”
Mo Wen had not expected that his own body would undergo such a huge change. All of this was too astonishing.
“Huh?”
Just as he was prepared to observe his declarative memory in detail, he suddenly felt something off with his body. He immediately withdrew his consciousness, his senses returning to the outside world. He had just opened his eyes when he discovered that a mass of golden flame was floating before his body. There was also a mass of black light floating before him.
The golden flame emitted an unparalleled heat, whereas the black light emanated an unbeatable chill.
The spiritual fire and the Dark Soul Pearl.
Mo Wen recognized the two items at a glance. But what he had not expected was that the two items would dissolve in front of him, and then enter into his body.
Rumble!
In an instant, the Inner Qi in his body frenziedly began to circulate. His mind sank and he fell into a slumber.
When he awoke again, Mo Wen discovered that he was floating in an endless dark space. The starlight, the four mythical birds that came from the four feathers, and all the other strange phenomena had disappeared.
Only the Purple Bottle Gourd remained sitting on his shoulder, as well as the bizarre dragon egg at his feet.
Mo Wen curiously bent over and picked up the dragon egg. An astonishingly terrifying aura was emanating from it, as well as a vibrant and huge life force.
“So powerful.” An aghast look flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. If the dragon egg was from the Dragon Horse, then when it hatched, it would be unbelievably powerful. It would certainly not be weaker than the Dragon Horse that had possessed the spiritual fire. He had not expected that not only had the Dragon Horse survived, but that it had also used such a method to do so.
Also, what surprised him even more was that from the dragon egg, a kind aura of being connected by blood kept emanating. This kind of aura was far more intimate than an ordinary parent-child blood tie.
“Could it be…”
Mo Wen’s eyes suddenly opened wide. A light flashed in them. Touching the dragon egg in his hand, he suddenly laughed out loud. Looking at the dragon egg in his hands, he laughed and said, “You most likely never even dreamed that what I teased you about would actually become a reality.”
In the sky above, a silver light lit up. A Heavenly Serpent appeared in the sky, covering tens of thousands of kilometers. Once the Heavenly Serpent appeared, the sky was full of thunder and lightning. Lightning flashed and a long spear appeared before Mo Wen. It was the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear.
However, the current Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was different now. The aura it emanated was even more frightening. Aside from that, it also had astonishing spiritual energy. It was as though it was a living creature. The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear became a Heavenly Serpent and circled once around Mo Wen. Then, it became a long spear again, stabbing into the ground beside Mo Wen’s feet.
“A spiritual treasure!”
Mo Wen looked at the completely different Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear. A term that he had never dared to imagined flashed in his mind. A spiritual treasure! He had not expected that the spiritual treasure that the Tower Spirit rewarded him was the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear! Originally he believed that the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear could not be taken out of this space. After all, the magical treasures obtained in the Fighting Spirit Tower were all illusionary objects. Items such as the six flying swords, the stratagem flags of the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem and the Incomplete Spiritual Talismans all could not be taken out.
But the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear was actually a real existing item from the very beginning. It was also not just a superb grade profound level weapon, but a legendary spiritual treasure.
