Chapter 3119: Soul Standard Achieved

The hunting mouse, under the control of illusion, indeed became bold.

However, the Magic Flood Dragon's pressure on it was also considerable, and its movements were very cautious. Ye Liuyun was also worried it would be too careless, so he used the Magic Flood Dragon to scare it.

That little fellow underground also wielded Spatial Power to the fullest; apart from a faint ripple in space, there was not a single sound.

Moreover, retrieving that dragon corpse was very steady, causing no tremor; the Dragon Soul inside was not disturbed and continued to slumber in the Nascent Core. Then it returned silently, carrying the Storage Ring.

Nevertheless, its resistance to the dragon aura's pressure did consume a lot, so Ye Liuyun immediately rewarded it with a Barbarian Bear for it to enjoy at will.

Ye Liuyun then had the two duplicates' Souls enter his Sea of Consciousness, and also sealed the duplicates and the Kuailei into the Space World, before using the Demon Slaying Sword to extract the Nascent Core.

When he acted, he kept his Golden Pupil fixed on that Dragon Soul, fearing it might awaken suddenly. Once the Nascent Core was dug out, Ye Liuyun immediately shrank it and stored it in the Sea of Consciousness.

At this point, Ye Liuyun let out a slight sigh of relief.

The Dragon Soul, after being enveloped by the Golden Light of the Ten Thousand Gods Command, did not awaken immediately. By the time it did, it had already been largely dissipated by the Ten Thousand Gods Command.

"Aang!"

The Dragon Soul let out a mighty howl, trying to break free of the Golden Light's shackles, but it was only a futile struggle until it was completely consumed by the Ten Thousand Gods Command.

Ye Liuyun and the six Souls of his duplicates immediately began absorbing this Divine Soul Power, which surged dramatically. The two duplicates' Divine Soul Power quickly caught up with the main body.

After their Divine Soul Power increased, they went to the Soul Secret Realm to perform suppression, also took a pill refined by the Xu Dan Sect that condenses Souls, and then released the hunting mouse again, stealing another dragon corpse back.

This time the Dragon Soul woke quickly; once covered by the Golden Light of the Ten Thousand Gods Command it became conscious. Yet the result was the same—it could not escape the Ten Thousand Gods Command's binding.

The dragon corpse and the Nascent Core, Ye Liuyun temporarily stored in a dedicated Storage Ring, awaiting future cultivation use.

After absorbing this Dragon Soul, several of Ye Liuyun's Souls cultivated for a while, condensing the Soul, letting the hunting mouse rest sufficiently before releasing it again.

After consecutively devouring four Dragon Souls, Ye Liuyun could no longer swallow any. In earlier battles they had already consumed plenty of Divine Soul Power, and these Dragon Souls were each stronger than the last, almost doubling his original Divine Soul Power with each one.

His current Divine Soul Power is already three times that of a top‑tier Soul master, and after the boost he suddenly feels a connection to Heaven and Earth, able to sense their information.

Ye Liuyun released his Soul, letting it wander beyond the Sea of Consciousness. This soul‑traveling in Taixu felt different from before, allowing him to perceive more of Heaven and Earth's power.

Not only the power of Heaven and Earth, but all the various energies within them, he could sense clearly. Even the flow of those energies he could perceive distinctly.

The whole world, under his Soul's perception, seemed as if he knew everything. This feeling even made his Soul reluctant to return to the body, preferring to drift endlessly between Heaven and Earth.

Based on his previous experience, his Divine Soul Power should have broken through another major realm, surpassing the Taixu standard. His current Divine Soul Power can easily destroy the Soul of Longtao.

"Another Soul breakthrough!" Ye Liuyun exclaimed.

"Don't rush; with these dragon corpses, our bloodline and Physical Body can quickly improve," the duplicate said with a smile.

"What about the remaining Dragon Souls?" the two duplicates asked, unwilling to abandon the leftover resources.

It's not just the Dragon Souls; the dragons themselves are treasures, especially these true dragons of the Taixu realm, whose scales and tendons are rare alchemical materials.

At that moment, his War‑God armor suddenly communicated with Ye Liuyun, informing him that it could absorb dragon scales to boost the armor's defense.

It sensed the great Divine Soul Power after Ye Liuyun absorbed the Dragon Soul, and also felt the dense dragon aura, hence the reminder.

"Of course we must take it!" Ye Liuyun, unwilling to abandon the resources, produced the Soul Sealing Pearl to study how to embed the Dragon Soul.

If he doesn't capture the Dragon Soul, he dares not take all the dragon corpses; otherwise the Dragon Souls would awaken together and he couldn't handle them.

"Let's try!" Ye Liuyun decided, sealing the Soul Sealing Pearl into the Sea of Consciousness, preparing all his Souls.

Then he released the hunting mouse again and stole another dragon corpse back.

He again used the same method to extract the Nascent Core, sealing it into the Sea of Consciousness. Once the Nascent Core entered, Ye Liuyun's Souls employed a Soul‑Shaking Wave to rouse the Dragon Soul, forcing it out of the Core. Then the six Souls acted together, pulling it into the Soul Sealing Pearl.

When the Dragon Soul entered the Soul Sealing Pearl, the Ten Thousand Gods Command retracted its Golden Light. The Soul Sealing Pearl is Ye Liuyun's treasure; the sealed Souls are naturally his, so the Ten Thousand Gods Command does not attack the Souls inside.

"Great! This tactic works!" several Souls exclaimed excitedly.

Thus Ye Liuyun fed the hunting mouse until it fully recovered, then released it again.

These Dragon Souls have been sleeping inside for years, never causing a noticeable stir, so they wouldn't be awakened. The hunting mouse is also timid; each time it acts it is cautious and never careless, so everything proceeds smoothly.

However, these Dragon Souls are massive; the Soul Sealing Pearl, with only a hundred‑plus slots, is already near capacity. Ye Liuyun promptly went to Tian Huo Laozu to ask if he could forge another Soul Sealing Pearl.

Tian Huo Laozu didn't even lift his eyes, casually asking, "What grade do you need?"

He was assisting Ye Liuyun in improving the Heaven‑Swallowing Cauldron, and lately his thoughts were all on contemplating materials.

"Just like this will do!"

Ye Liuyun showed him his own Soul Sealing Pearl.

Tian Huo Laozu glanced at it without much interest, but when he saw the Dragon Soul inside, his eyes lit up.

He immediately asked Ye Liuyun, "Can you give me one of those Dragon Souls?"

"No problem." Ye Liuyun felt his Divine Soul Power had risen, enabling him to refine artifacts better, and promptly agreed.

"Alright then. Have Huoyang forge it for you; this will be a true‑grade ninth‑rank Soul Sealing Pearl, and he'll forge it," Tian Huo Laozu laughed.

"Uh..." Ye Liuyun felt cheated, internally cursing Tian Huo Laozu: "That old guy, doesn't work himself, yet swindles me a Dragon Soul!"

So he went to find Chen Huoyang.

"Can you give me one of those Dragon Souls?"

Chen Huoyang, like Tian Huo Laozu, immediately asked for a Dragon Soul.

"Do all artificers have such nerve? Or is it just the Chen family?" Ye Liuyun muttered inwardly.

But after thinking of Qiong Qi, he suddenly felt that Tian Huo Laozu and Chen Huoyang were relatively restrained!
