The Black Dragon nodded, gazing greedily at Bai’s soul form, his affectionate eyes unwilling to leave her for a moment.
Ye Ju regretted not bringing Bai with her. Bai had never met her parents since birth.
Looking at the Black Dragon’s expression, filled with guilt, pain, and regret, Ye Ju believed he must have had no choice but to leave his child. Back then, she thought of her mother, and the Father God gave her the newly born little fox, Hu Hu, as a playmate, saying Hu Hu was an orphan…
“It couldn’t be helped, things happened too fast. I only managed to send Hu Hu to your Father God. Before I could arrange anything else, the great battle began…”
The Black Dragon recalled that destruction. After being ambushed, he fell into the void and landed here. At first, he would rage and go mad with hatred, which only caused the Soul Locking Nail to dig deeper. Without spiritual power, he had to endure with his physical body, using his robust physique to dig out this hiding place and then find heavenly treasures to heal his wounds, but to no avail. This Soul Locking Nail was specifically designed for him, the patriarch of the Dragon clan. Countless years passed, and he finally exhaled his last breath, thinking he was free. But who knew his soul was also locked in place, trapping him directly in this cave.
Seas changed, continents shifted. Millions of years passed, and the original cave entrance was long buried. If not for the earth裂 that awakened his dragon soul this time, he would have dissipated within a hundred years.
Fortunately, he sensed a trace of dragon bloodline, which led him to Xiao Mo, intending to pass down the Dragon clan heritage before he dissipated.
The Black Dragon cast a reluctant glance at Bai and rationally withdrew his gaze. This little Flood Dragon was too weak to withstand the Dragon clan’s top cultivation techniques. He wanted to help Xiao Mo change his dragon bones. He would replace one of his ribs with Xiao Mo’s, as too many would be unbearable for Xiao Mo’s body.
Ye Ju found the Black Dragon’s Soul Locking Nail very uncomfortable and unsightly. Why not remove it?
Thinking this, Ye Ju acted. She approached the Black Dragon, concentrating green spiritual energy in her palm, wrapping it around the massive nail. The Black Dragon was still immersed in his longing for his daughter, gazing at Bai’s soul form in the air… Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his soul…
“What are you doing? You can’t pull it out…” The Black Dragon stopped when he felt the Soul Locking Nail shift two inches… his expression changed from shock to pleasant surprise… Was it possible?
Ye Ju mobilized all the spiritual energy in her dantian, struggling against the evil magic on the Soul Locking Nail. It was indeed vicious, with the Soul Locking Nail inscribed with an Yin-evil formation that first devoured spiritual power, then soul power. A flash of inspiration struck Ye Ju. What did Hua Xun teach her? Don’t rush, think slowly…
Ye Ju simultaneously channeled spiritual energy to pull against the Soul Locking Nail, while trying hard to recall…
The Black Dragon trembled with soul-piercing pain:
“Xiao Ju Yin, can you do it? Hurry up and pull!” This was like being ground by a dull knife, agonizingly painful…
“Almost there, don’t disturb me, I need to get rid of the ghostly thing on it.” Ye Ju also felt a little guilty; she had been rash.
Got it!
“Xiao Mo, help!” Ye Ju poured spiritual energy into the protective charm. Xiao Mo flew over and grasped the root of the charm with both hands…
Seeing the protective charm, the Black Dragon was so shocked that he forgot the pain in his soul. Was that the Heart of the Divine Wood?
Ye Ju quickly formed hand seals, chanting the Demon Dispelling Incantation:
Go forth, spirits, break the demon! Form the seal before the soldiers!
Array guards the spiritual platform, borrow the thunder’s command!
Thunder’s wrath, slay the evil and expel the demon!
Break!
A lightning bolt flashed within the cave, instantly striking the Soul Locking Nail. Ye Ju quickly snatched the protective charm. A green light blazed, and in a breath, she yanked the Soul Locking Nail out. This Soul Locking Nail had been embedded in the Dragon God’s body for millions of years, becoming a demonic object. Although its demonic power was scattered by the lightning strike, it attempted to escape the moment it left the dragon soul, darting wildly in the cave. Ye Ju quickly formed hand seals and cast another Demon Dispelling Incantation on it, causing it to instantly drop to the ground.
The Black Dragon was terrified by Ye Ju’s series of actions. As a soul, he feared the power of lightning. If this little immortal blinked, she might strike him as well, and he would be finished…
With the breaking of the Soul Locking Nail, the Black Dragon immediately let out a long roar, his dragon cry carrying relief and suppressed grief…
After the Black Dragon calmed down, he quietly looked at Ye Ju: “Xiao Ju Yin, thank you. If I had met you sooner…” The Black Dragon didn’t finish the sentence; if he had met her sooner, he could have regained his divine power, stormed the Nine Heavens, and exacted bloody revenge!
Ye Ju ignored the Black Dragon; her spiritual energy was depleted, and she needed to meditate to recover.
Half an hour later, the Black Dragon’s soul power had also recovered somewhat. Ye Ju also recovered through meditation. Her Chaotic Body had a very fast recovery rate!
He asked Xiao Mo to revert to his original form. He intended to replace one of his dragon bones with Xiao Mo’s to help him grow dragon tendons. Although Xiao Mo was now a Flood Dragon, his tendons were still those of a fish. The dragon bloodline was too scarce. With dragon bones, it would be different. With dragon bones, he would have a true dragon form and could grow dragon tendons. Although Xiao Mo could have them after transforming into a dragon later, he couldn’t wait. Although the Soul Locking Nail was removed, he knew the heavenly way was watching him, and he could not show any signs of recovery! That was why he had dug the cave and set up the Dragon God’s domain to conceal his tracks.
Ye Ju listened, looking at Xiao Mo with concern. This was equivalent to stripping skin and pulling out tendons, forcibly changing his form and bones!
Xiao Mo’s face was resolute, and he nodded.
The Black Dragon asked Ye Ju to collect all the gold and give it to her. These were merely decorations to the Black Dragon. All the treasures with spiritual power and elixirs had been exhausted by him. As he fell, his spiritual substance space dissipated, and the gold scattered. Now, he had to excavate the dragon bones from the mountain of gold.
Ye Ju was overjoyed to hear this and waved her hand, collecting all the gold into her spirit ring. Most of the dragon bones were exposed, while some were buried in the soil. Ye Ju used earth spiritual power to clear away the soil, then lifted her divine power, shaking out the entire dragon bone. Xiao Mo used water spiritual power to clean it.
The Black Dragon watched the servant and master’s operations. Did they have OCD? A divine dragon’s dragon bones were pure white and immaculate, unable to be stained by sinister dirt. It couldn’t be helped. After millions of years, he had only found a little Flood Dragon. He had no choice!
“Xiao Ju Yin, use magic to make the dragon bone the size of Qi Mo’s true form and select one rib! You have the divine wood’s resurrection… healing technique. After Xiao Mo has his bones replaced, you need to cast the spell on him!” The Black Dragon paused when he mentioned the divine wood’s resurrection technique. He hadn’t expected the Heart of the Divine Wood to become her innate magic treasure. Fate, heaven would not block all paths.
Ye Ju was surprised that the Black Dragon knew she possessed the resurrection technique but didn’t ask, agreeing readily!
Although the Black Dragon couldn’t touch Qi Mo’s body, he could cast spells from a distance through Xiao Mo’s Flood Dragon bloodline. It was seen that Xiao Mo’s flood dragon skin was cut open by an invisible force, slowly peeling away the skin. Ye Ju noticed the Black Dragon’s casting was difficult, his soul trembling. Although the Soul Locking Nail was removed, he had been depleted for too long, and his dragon soul was very weak. Xiao Mo, on the other hand, was in so much pain that he was about to faint.
Ye Ju stared intently, not daring to miss a moment, fearing any mistake. Once the bone replacement was successful, she immediately cast the healing technique. White spiritual energy and green light slowly repaired the bone replacement area, then the wounds.
Suddenly, with a low roar, Xiao Mo’s dragon form flashed with golden light. The Black Dragon swallowed a ball of golden light and infused it into the center of Xiao Mo’s forehead. After the golden light, Xiao Mo shrank in size and fell into a deep sleep. Ye Ju placed him into the spirit pet pouch.
