Reincarnation: The Soul of Dashul

"Great...it really works! It really is because of the ancient tree's energy." Beneath the golden ancient tree, the vibrant grassland was enveloped in a soft golden glow. Leido removed the Xuanwu Token, overjoyed. He had actually managed to suppress the advancement of his martial arts cultivation realm.

The antidote successfully cut off the vast elemental energy of the ancient tree of life, preventing it from entering Ledo's life furnace. Previously, it was the ancient tree's energy that was diverted into the spiritual sea, causing the spiritual power to surge and reach the threshold for breakthrough in one fell swoop.

At this moment, having lost the supply of abundant energy, the surging spiritual power gradually stabilized, and the spiritual sea finally calmed down. The tribulation clouds in the sky, after the fifth bolt of heavenly lightning struck, seemed to have lost their target and quickly dispersed.

Taking advantage of the magic-blocking agent taking effect, Leido hurriedly used the secret method his mother taught him to place a special seal between his spiritual sea and nascent soul, preventing the nascent soul and spiritual sea from fully interacting, but allowing him to draw upon spiritual power appropriately without affecting his daily cultivation and combat.

In this way, even if the effect of the magic-blocking agent wears off, the immense energy of the ancient tree will no longer affect Leido, preventing him from advancing to the Void Returning Realm before using the Yin-Yang Stone, which would severely restrict his future development.

"It seems that after I leave... I must return to the Qianlis Empire first. My mother used to worry that my cultivation level was too low, but now, I should be able to protect myself!"

Leido's face still showed a trace of worry. He knew that the current method was only a temporary suppression. If one day his spiritual sea erupted again, broke through the seal, and advanced again, then it would be impossible to suppress it, and he would have no choice but to go through the tribulations of heaven and earth.

In that case, although Leido could advance to a higher realm, he would gradually lose the bloodline advantage of the Five Elements Family and could only choose to specialize in two or three types of spiritual power, which would definitely reduce his combat power.

Leido examined his body again. This breakthrough in his magical realm almost triggered his advancement in his martial arts realm as well, but he forcibly interrupted it, and he didn't know what kind of aftereffects it would have.

"Huh? There's golden light in all five directions of the array? It should be the energy of the ancient tree. It doesn't seem to have lit up any new star points..." Leido checked the Five Elements Wheel at the top of his head and discovered the anomaly.

In the star array of the Five Elements Wheel of Leido, the twenty-seven stars that were lit up when he advanced to the Nascent Soul stage were still the same. However, there was a faint golden light lingering in the star array of the five directions of metal, water, wood, fire and earth.

Even the remaining unlit star points were surrounded by this golden light. The entire star array, a total of fifty-five star points, was surrounded by this golden light, but Leido could not sense any energy fluctuations.

"This is too strange. Is it just to make it look better?" Leido shook his head with a self-deprecating smile. The starlight under the golden light was indeed more dazzling and beautiful. He could not detect any other effect besides making it look better.

Leido tried to guide the golden light by turning the Five Elements Wheel, but after several attempts, he was unable to control it and had to give up. He then got up and took out a new magic robe, as his previous clothes had been completely destroyed in the battle with Regi.

"I wonder when I'll be teleported out by the ancient tree's order. I should hurry and find the Immortal Binding Arrestor!" This matter had been on Leido's mind. Now that the various energies within his body had finally stabilized, he summoned the magic carpet and flew into the sky to search for the magical artifact.

Now a mage, Leido's magical perception has become more acute and expansive, almost reaching the range of the Five Elements Spiritual Sense, with a maximum coverage of fifty kilometers.

However, despite flying at high speed in the air for a long time and using all three senses to their limits, Leido still couldn't detect anything special.

In his right hand he held a small crystal tower, a treasure-hunting artifact given to him by Master Ulysses. It was specially crafted by Ulysses in his search for the Immortal Binding Rope.

If the Immortal Binding Rope appears within 100 kilometers, it can generate energy fluctuations and pinpoint its approximate location. Only with it can one find the Immortal Binding Rope in this vast secret realm.

Otherwise, finding a magical artifact in the depths of this endless ancient tree secret realm would be like finding a needle in a haystack. However, after flying for a long time, the crystal tower did not react, and he began to doubt that he had flown in the wrong direction.

Without further hesitation, Leido landed on the ground, took out his wand, and inscribed a magic teleportation circle on the ground, marking the coordinates of the location: "Fortunately, the magic teleportation circle can be set up and is working, otherwise it would take forever to find it!"

After a burst of dazzling light, Ledo reappeared at the spot where he had just begun to comprehend the magic, with a teleportation array he had set up in advance. He had planned a thorough search route long ago.

“This time, I’m flying north…” A gust of wind swirled beneath Leido’s feet. He no longer used the magic carpet to fly, but instead used the Windwalking Step to ride the wind, making him several times faster. He was worried that when his time to comprehend the Dharma was up, the ancient tree’s order would spread out.

He teleported back and forth several times, changing directions many times, but still couldn't detect the aura of the Immortal Binding Rope. He was extremely disappointed, wondering if the Immortal Binding Rope was not even in the Ancient Tree Secret Realm.

"No... the secret realm is too vast. Without guidance, it's impossible to find it!" Although Leido hadn't expended much magic or spiritual energy, he felt that searching like this was too foolish, and he had lost his patience.

Just then, Leido's spiritual sense detected a slight energy fluctuation. Leido used his magical energy perception to check and discovered a familiar elemental mark, which was the magical energy fluctuation of Ricky Samael.

“Those villains from the Light and Shadow Society… have actually ventured deep into the secret realm. Before, I was just a mage, but now things are different!” Ledo sneered. He discovered that he could lock onto and track Regi’s elemental imprint, while the other party did not react.

That can only mean that Reggie's magic sensing range is smaller than Leido's, and he did not detect Leido's elemental imprint, continuing to travel in a certain direction.

"Those vicious dogs from the Light and Shadow Society must have something on their mind. Since we can't find the Immortal Binding Rope for now, I'll play along!"

Ledo concealed his presence and followed Reggie closely, hoping to gather intelligence, find out the purpose of the Light and Shadow Society, and perhaps even disrupt the enemy's operations at a crucial moment, or even kill Reggie.

After the pendant Falling Moon evolved, it surpassed the level eight magic artifact, and its shielding function could no longer be used. Fortunately, Leido possessed the wondrous Windwalk and the Resonance Technique he developed himself. The combined concealment effect of these two techniques was no less than that of Falling Moon's shielding effect.

And so, Ledo pressed close to the ground, used the Resonance Technique, and his aura completely merged with the flowers, grass, soil, and rocks below. He then used the Wind Walk Technique to completely conceal all his energy aura and cautiously crept towards Regi.

"The legendary puppet of the Demon Puppet Clan should have arrived by now, right? That 'Dragon God'... seems to be nothing special after all. He couldn't even open the depths of the secret realm on his own. Mother, you've overestimated him far too much..."

Ricky, who was still on his way, was completely unaware that he was being followed. He had no idea that Ledo, who was just a little mage before, had now completely surpassed him in magical perception.
