Chapter 175

Whether Ning Rongrong can later let the Nine-Colored Goddess descend and pass on the divine position depends on Ning Rongrong's own fortune.

This time, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect purchased quite a few concealed-weapon sets from his own hands, the Spirit Hall likewise obtained information about those concealed-weapon sets.

With preparations made, whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect can retain enough of the fire seed remains unknown.

But it is certain that the Breaking Heaven Sect will not provide any protection or information to any sect during this soul-hunting operation.

Strictly speaking, the two sides are in a competitive relationship, and Yang Yun is not so foolish as to cultivate hostile forces for himself.

The Food God's divine position is basically settled.

A Li clapped her palms and laughed, "I didn't expect there to be such a good thing; a future Food God is thus firmly gripped in your palm; in the divine realm it's merely a small village made up of top-tier powerhouses; I'd estimate there aren't even as many people as in a small village."

"Sometimes, when the place is small, troubles become even more."

Yang Yun didn't say much more on this topic, merely silently calculating in his mind how to best use the fourth soul skill given to him by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Perhaps the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect's 'Divided Mind Control' and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family's 'Dragon Transformation Secret Method' could give him a hint.

The Breaking Heaven Sect needs some foundations, foundations that can keep the sect continually strong; these few are quite good.

Whether it's Divided Mind Control or the Dragon Transformation Secret Method, Yang Yun is confident he will obtain them in the future, but he cannot rush now; there's no need to be overly anxious.

The Phoenix Spear Technique and Profound Heaven Skill perhaps have some mutual compatibility to a certain extent; verifying this would require consuming a large amount of mental power to fully simulate and deduce; otherwise, let's first raise the soul ring's year limit.

Mental detection.

Yang Yun bore the Flame Spear, Heavy and Dark, and with one hand held the light-as-air A Li aloft as they flew toward the location of the next Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear.

After hunting many more Darkgold Terrorclaw Bears later on, they still did not yield an external soul bone Darkgold Terrorclaw; they merely increased the soul ring's year limit.

Only after the final hundred-year Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear was slain did a faint halo appear on its body.

A Li thrust her spear forward again, yet it did not attract any further scrutiny or covetousness from soul masters.

But seeing Yang Yun's expression, A Li found it somewhat amusing: "What? You dislike this soul bone because its year limit is too low?"

Yang Yun nodded in acknowledgment.

A Li indeed put away her spear without concern, taking the external soul bone in her hand and stuffing it into the Boundless Flame Domain.

"Be content; this external soul bone can grant you growth in two arm bones; just this alone pays for itself."

The words may be rough, but the reasoning is sound; indeed, that's the case.

Yang Yun also knows one should be content, but there are still other Darkgold Terrorclaw Bears in the Star Dou Great Forest; let's keep looking.

"Let's go; the limit to how much the soul ring can be raised has increased significantly; plus, I've already condensed nearly eight soul crystals, so I estimate having all-red soul rings is no problem."

A Li was carefully chopping off all four paws of the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear.

"I haven't eaten bear paws in a long time; taking these back will be enough for me to enjoy many meals; still, the thousand-year-old ones taste better, so from now on let's not hunt the hundred-year-old ones."

"Got it, hurry up."

Yang Yun casually remarked in midair; A Li leapt up and grabbed his hand; the strong arms at his waist then tightly embraced her.

"I just love the feeling of your power with sexual tension." After A Li stuffed the bear paw into the Boundless Flame Domain, she raised a hand to touch Yang Yun's face and leaned in to say.

Yang Yun's face was expressionless; he merely said lightly, "In ancient times, weapons were worn close to the body, so from now on you should also stay close to me; even at night." A Li's palm moved downward.

"Huh? No reaction at all; it seems you don't like me that much either; you still prefer fierce people, I'm not big enough, I can't give you what you want."

Yang Yun gave no further response, merely gazing ahead.

However, when they found the nearest ten-thousand-year Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear, Yang Yun tortured it for a full half hour before ending its life.

A Li simply sat on a tree branch watching, while Yang Yun, without using any concealment techniques, purely relied on his spear skill and cultivation to clash with the Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear.

"Are you angry?"

Yang Yun flicked his hand to retract the Flame Spear, Heavy and Dark, and replied, "I'm not, but according to research statistics, if a soul beast suffered intense mental and physical abuse before death, the probability of it bursting out a soul bone is much higher!"

A Li did not pursue this matter further, merely silently turning into a streak of flame and returning into Yang Yun's body.

"A Yun, I am your martial soul and also your artifact spirit; but I am likewise your teacher, I understand your feelings, but I need a little time."

Yang Yun remained motionless for a long time, only when the soul ring was about to dissipate did he use soul power to draw it in and absorb it.

He silently thought to himself, "All women in this world are merely powdered skeletons; only you can accompany me for a lifetime."

He didn't say it out loud because, sooner or later A Li will understand; for now he's merely feigning ignorance.

No need to say; the two of them have mutual understanding; they can also know.

Sometimes psychological barriers are the hardest to overcome, even when one is in another world; A Li is ultimately a girl from ancient times.

Just as Yang Yun squatted down to prepare to cut off the bear's paw.

With a "ding!" sound, Yang Yun's small knife could not advance an inch.

Only after splitting it open did they discover it was actually a ten-thousand-year external soul bone, Darkgold Terrorclaw.

A Li suddenly burst out from within his body, took the soul bone from Yang Yun's hand, and examined it up and down.

"Not bad, your luck is truly good; you actually managed to burst out a ten-thousand-year Darkgold Terrorclaw external soul bone."

Yang Yun smiled and let go of the previous topic, simply taking the Darkgold Terrorclaw from A Li's hand and pulling the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm out of the Boundless Flame Domain.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, seeing the ten-thousand-year external soul bone in Yang Yun's hand, stared wide-eyed and couldn't look away.

"Boss, you're too amazing; this is a ten-thousand-year–grade external soul bone; did you just burst it out so easily? And it's a Darkgold Terrorclaw Bear's external soul bone—did you exterminate the whole species?"

Yang Yun, annoyed, flicked his mental power at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

"Don't joke around; now tell me what you should do, or what I should do."

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm put away its exaggerated expression and said solemnly, "Boss, you just need to normally absorb these two external soul bones; the rest I'll handle."

"This secret method I obtained from the external soul bone in your eyes, Boss; perhaps because I condensed a head soul bone I got this secret method; but using it comes with great limitations!"

"However, this limitation is nothing to you, Boss; let's get started, Boss!"

Yang Yun pressed the two external soul bones directly onto his hands; soon the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, with powerful mental power, enveloped the two complete arm bones and then the external soul bone; the two began to fuse together.
