Douluo: The Unrivaled Demon Lord

Chapter 71 The Spirit of Life and the Mysterious Spiritual Seed (3k)

After the Yu Bingyan and her sister left, the heavy door of the secret room closed automatically again.

Shu Yan felt the warm touch in his hands, and the curve of his lips became more and more obvious.

A teardrop-sized drop of Life Gold is equivalent to the combined vitality of a million-year-old Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. How terrifying is this. And the Soul-Devouring Knife in his hand... no, it should be called the Life Blade. It is made of Life Gold from beginning to end!

Its preciousness even surpassed the dragon crystal in Shu Yan's hand, which was condensed from the death of a dark true dragon!
After all, dragon crystal is extremely precious, but its role in today's era is limited to a very small range. In comparison, the applicable population and even the role of the gold of life are obviously wider.

The Gold of Life, a treasure with life attributes, is something that all soul masters dream of. With it, it can be said that the door to the Ultimate Douluo has been opened. What's more, the Gold of Life can also give the owner unimaginable life-saving abilities.

As long as it is completely integrated into the sea of ​​​​spiritual, Shu Yan's sea of ​​​​spiritual can be said to be truly immortal. Even his body will be affected. As long as the brain is still there, no matter how serious the injury is, it will eventually recover on its own. It can be said that he can't die even if he wants to die.

Just as Shu Yan was thinking, the gold of life in his hand suddenly burst out with a green light full of life breath again.

"Is this... life feeding back?"

A hint of surprise and joy flashed across Shu Yan's eyes, and then he quickly sat down cross-legged on the spot, allowing the green light to transform into green-gold spots and merge into his body.

A living being represents a life, but a piece of living being gold represents a world.

Shu Yan could clearly sense a vague emotion coming from the Gold of Life. That emotion could be described as joy or gratitude. The Gold of Life itself was like a life, with emotions similar to those of humans.

……

An extremely rich and vigorous vitality rushed straight into Shu Yan's body, and then traveled through his limbs and bones, not even sparing the weakest corners.

Shu Yan let out a groan of extreme comfort. He felt as if every cell in his body was cheering for joy. Countless life forces were being absorbed by his body. From the inside out, his body emanated a strong green light. Wrapped in this green light, Shu Yan's consciousness gradually became drowsy. With the last of his consciousness, he sealed the secret room and then fell into deep meditation.

……

Time passes like water, leaving no trace.

When Shu Yan woke up again, he himself didn't know how much time had passed.

After recovering from his initial confused state, Shu Yan was somewhat surprised to find that his spiritual sea had expanded more than three times compared to before.

Even the spiritual space that was originally between illusion and reality was completely condensed into a solid entity. If Shu Yan's original spiritual sea was only very stable, then now Shu Yan's spiritual sea can be said to be impregnable!
He had a premonition that it would be extremely difficult for even a Soul Douluo-level soul master to break through the defense of his spiritual sea. His spiritual power had also made a huge leap and completely entered the level of tangible and intangible. He even took a big step forward in the tangible and intangible realm in one breath.

The surprise had not yet stopped. Shu Yan looked around him and then found another shocking scene.

The sound of blood coursing through his veins was like the gurgling of a stream, and the rich Qi and blood exuded an unimaginable vitality. His bones, muscles, meridians, and internal organs were all coated in a strange blue hue, which was merging with his body and gradually fading.

This is a true transformation. In a sense, it can even be said to be a new life.

Shu Yan clenched his fist, and then without any hesitation, he punched down. The ground made of the hardest black iron began to crack like a rock, and the ground within a hundred meters around it trembled slightly, as if a small earthquake had occurred.

“This power…”

A hint of obvious surprise flashed across Shu Yan's eyes.

As a true dragon spirit master, he has an innate advantage in strength. Coupled with various acquired training efforts, it is no exaggeration to say that he is simply a human-shaped Tyrannosaurus Rex.

But after this deep meditation, his strength increased so much at once.

Simply put, Shu Yan felt that he could now beat his three selves before he went through this deep meditation.

Yes, the kind that is beaten by 91!
While Shu Yan was still immersed in astonishment, a blue light, the same as the one in his body, suddenly rose from his spiritual sea.

This light was extremely sacred and soft, and it seemed as if it had been separated directly from Shu Yan's spiritual sea. Shu Yan was somewhat surprised to find that he actually sensed a completely unfamiliar consciousness in the center of the green light.

"Don't panic, I mean you no harm."

Before Shu Yan could react, an ethereal voice sounded first.

In a very short period of time, the cyan light gradually evolved into a dazzling cyan-gold color. This cyan-gold light illuminated the entire spiritual sea, and then gradually merged into Shu Yan's spiritual origin.

"My true self has completely merged with yours. To some extent, you are my master and my creator. I will not do anything that is detrimental to you."

The voice became softer and softer. As the cyan-gold light completely merged with Shu Yan's spiritual sea, a light gate suddenly opened above Shu Yan's spiritual sea. Then, countless cyan-blue waters poured down, and finally gathered into a lake in the center of Shu Yan's spiritual sea.

"Are you... the consciousness born from the golden body of life?" Shu Yan asked in shock.

"Exactly."

The voice sounded quickly, responding to Shu Yan's question.

The look of astonishment in Shu Yan's eyes became more and more intense.

In Douluo Continent, animals and plants have life, and minerals and metals, when their quality reaches a certain level, will also give rise to a certain breath of life and emotions. However, compared to animals and plants, it is much more difficult for them to reach this state.

For example, among the Ice Pole Divine Crystals surrounding the Wanzai Xuanbing Cave below the Earth Dragon Gate, there are many Ice Pole Divine Crystals that have already given birth to the breath of life. The breath of life born from the Ice Pole Divine Crystals is called Ice Spirit in the Far North, which can be regarded as an alternative life.

But among all metals, the gold of life itself is the most special one.

Other metals are evolving towards the level of possessing the breath of life, but the gold of life itself is like the embodiment of the essence of life in the world.

A living being represents a life, while a piece of living gold represents a world. The meaning of this statement is profound and worth pondering, but what is certain is that the unique nature of living gold makes it inherently possess the most basic consciousness and wisdom, which other metals cannot even dream of.

But now, the consciousness and wisdom of this piece of living gold itself seem to have completed the leap from basic to advanced, and it has a soul that is completely independent and can learn and evolve independently like humans and soul beasts.

Shu Yan could clearly sense the purity and peace in the origin of the soul. It was a feeling that made people subconsciously want to get close to and protect it, just like a life that had just been born, full of the most primitive vigor and vitality.

As if sensing Shu Yan's change in mood, the voice rang out again, accurately answering Shu Yan's doubts:

"According to common sense, the gold of my soul is not allowed by the rules of the world to give birth to a complete consciousness. In other words, my soul is only a seed. No matter how many years pass, this seed will always remain the same. All I have is the most basic consciousness based on this seed."

“There is no superiority or inferiority in life itself; the fundamental difference lies in wisdom.”

"Previously, my master had the evil thoughts and curses that were parasitic within my origin removed. Driven by instinct, I displayed emotions similar to the joy and gratitude you humans experience. This life-giving response is precisely my response and expression to my original consciousness."

"But during this process, the spiritual seed within the Master's spiritual sea suddenly called out to me. For some reason, I couldn't resist that feeling, and my true body, drawn by that spiritual seed, merged with you, the Master."

"And as you can see, this is the reward I receive for merging with your spiritual sea."

Shu Yan frowned even tighter. He keenly grasped the key points in the words just now, and then he said:
"What spirit seed? Explain it more carefully..."

After hearing this, the voice on the other side was silent for a while before continuing:

"It seems that you, Master, have no knowledge of the secrets within your spiritual sea. However, this is understandable. After all, the spiritual seed itself is at an extremely high level. It has always been hidden within your spiritual origin. Unless stimulated by external factors, it will not awaken and manifest itself. Naturally, you, Master, have no way of knowing."

"When my soul was undergoing transformation, I sensed a power that seemed to not belong to this world. That power was mysterious and powerful. Perhaps it was related to your past, Master."

Shu Yan's body stiffened strangely for a moment, his expression changed, and his thoughts were racing. Combining the words of the Spirit of Life, he actually had a corresponding guess.

After a long silence, Shu Yan continued to ask:
"How can I ensure that you won't have second thoughts?"

The voice answered almost the second after Shu Yan asked the question:
"My true self has merged with your body and soul. As for the vast life energy possessed by my true self, it is all stored in your spiritual sea."

"My soul and wisdom have been transformed and reborn because of you. If you carefully sense it, you will be able to perceive the soul contract between you and me. As for my role, I think you may be very interested. No matter what, I will not betray you."

Shu Yan roughly understood it. He said this more to test it. When he felt the closeness and purity of the origin of this so-called "Spirit of Life", he had already let down most of his guard. A life that was born entirely because of him, from the inside out, had a closeness and respect for him like treating a mother. Coupled with the soul contract, its loyalty can be imagined.

Thinking of this, Shu Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then said softly:

"In that case, I welcome you..."

The voice paused for a moment, and then Shu Yan clearly felt the joy it conveyed.

Afterwards, Shu Yan exchanged a few simple words with it, and it was not until he received Shu Junyou's mental transmission that Shu Yan suddenly reacted.

But at the last moment when Shu Yan was about to leave the secret room, the ethereal and gentle voice of the Spirit of Life sounded again:

"Master, your mother and aunt have eliminated the hidden dangers in my body. According to you humans, I owe them a favor. If possible, I hope to repay them in my own way."

Shu Yan paused, then smiled and nodded in agreement without saying anything else...
