Chapter 26 Ten Thousand Years, The Silver Dragon's Head as a Divine Punishment
As for the mark on Ma Xiaotao's dantian, it was a casual backup plan he had set up. When the distance was close enough, he could seal the opponent's soul power at any time, and if necessary, it was not impossible to cause the opponent to suffer a qi deviation or even die instantly.
With his control over the elements, he doesn't need to worry about being detected. As long as he doesn't actively trigger it, it really is just the ultimate ice sealing the evil fire, and even Mu En wouldn't be able to detect anything.
The opponent can even benefit from this, allowing them to focus all their energy on cultivation and combat, and no longer be eroded or disturbed by the evil fire before breaking through to the seventh ring.
Hopefully, this backup plan won't need to be used. Kong Tianxu pondered this in his heart, his Saintly Essence quietly circulating.
He no longer needs to maintain a state of complete meditation; with his fourth soul ring and the Myriad Origins Domain working simultaneously, he can begin cultivating anytime, anywhere. Of course, the effects will be considerably less.
After quickly tidying himself up, he returned to his bedroom, only to find Kong Deming already waiting for him. Upon seeing him, Kong Deming immediately waved.
"Xu'er, close the door. Grandpa has something for you."
"Okay, Grandpa."
Kong Tianxu closed the door tightly. He channeled his soul power into the room, and the isolation soul-guided device that enveloped the entire room automatically activated, blocking all auras inside.
"Grandpa, what is it?"
Walking quickly to the opposite side of Kong Deming, Kong Tianxu asked with great interest.
Kong Deming smiled mysteriously, and with a flash of silver light, a necklace suddenly appeared.
Without the need for soul power to activate it, the necklace floated in the air on its own, its silver light flowing, and its surface, with its intricate patterns, even shimmered with a seven-colored luster.
This is……
Star sapphire? And diamond gold! Kong Tianxu was somewhat surprised, but at first glance he recognized two extremely rare materials.
Starsapphire is a magical gemstone containing immense energy, making it the best medium for crafting space-type soul tools. Diamonds and refined gold are even more extraordinary, and are primarily used only in the creation of level nine soul tools.
However, before he could examine it closely, a call somewhat similar to the one he had heard in the Starry Sky Forest came, forcing him to focus his attention on the pendant.
It was a silver skull, no bigger than an adult's fingertip, with a brilliant aura flowing within it. The breathing silver aura seemed alive, flickering with the intermittent appearance of seven-colored light. When the two resonated together, the silver skull instantly became transparent, as clear and translucent as silver crystal.
Just as Kong Tianxu was engrossed in watching, Kong Deming's voice rang out at the right moment.
"This is a peak level nine soul tool. You should recognize most of the materials used in its creation, but there's one thing with a significant history that you might not be able to recognize. More than three thousand years ago, a major event occurred in the empire. Do you remember?"
More than three thousand years ago, silver? Kong Tianxu, being incredibly clever, had a sudden flash of inspiration and blurted out:
"The initial creation of Soul Guidance, the encirclement and annihilation of the Silver Dragon!"
By the end, his voice was filled with surprise:
"So this pendant is..."
Kong Deming nodded approvingly and said with a smile:
"It was the soul bone of that 100,000-year-old silver dragon. Back when the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy was first established, the empire's strongest gathered at Jingyang Mountain Range to witness the ceremony and elect the dean. They happened to encounter this silver dragon, which was undergoing its first tribulation, and attacked it all at its weakest moment. But as a top-tier super soul beast, the silver dragon's power in its final counterattack was terrifying. The empire paid the price of several level-nine soul masters' lives to successfully hunt it down."
"But the one who delivered the final blow was a young level eight Soul Master, who was our Kong family's ancestor."
"During the battle, our ancestor successfully absorbed the silver dragon's 100,000-year spirit ring, becoming the youngest Title Douluo in the history of the empire at that time. He was also elected as the first dean of the Sun Moon Royal Spirit Guidance Academy, and the prototype of Mingde Hall was also created under his leadership. With the help of the 100,000-year spirit ring, our ancestor's cultivation after breaking through to Title Douluo went very smoothly, until he reached level 95 and became the empire's first Super Douluo. At that time, everyone hoped that our ancestor could become the empire's first Limit Douluo, or even a level 10 spirit master."
Kong Tianxu listened quietly. Of course, he knew the enormous role of a 100,000-year spirit ring. The improvement of a spirit master's physical qualities by a 100,000-year spirit ring was unparalleled by any medicine or energy. It was enough to allow the human body to withstand the level of spirit power of a Super Douluo and to adjust their talents to that level.
But that's all.
"However, after breaking through level 95, the ancestor encountered a bottleneck. Improving his soul power became extremely difficult, to the point of stagnation. His research on soul tools also stalled due to material limitations. Therefore, unwilling to stop there, he placed his hopes on this silver dragon soul bone. At that time, the ancestor believed that he was already a Super Douluo, and with the silver dragon aura brought by the 100,000-year silver dragon soul ring, absorbing this soul bone would not be a problem."
At this point, Kong Deming's voice became low and somber.
"He forgot that the biggest difference between a soul bone and a soul ring is that a soul bone places more emphasis on its inherent quality. This exceptionally fine head soul bone produced by the Silver Dragon can be said to contain the most essential power of this super soul beast's bloodline. If the Silver Dragon hadn't been extremely weak after its tribulation, the Empire might not have been able to keep it. In the end, the ancestor failed to absorb it and perished due to the backlash from the soul bone. Later, many powerful individuals attempted to absorb it, but without exception, they all failed and died."
"Until a thousand years ago, the emperor at that time summoned ten level-nine soul masters to forge this soul tool by mixing silver dragon scales and several rare metals without affecting the soul bone itself. The name of this soul bone is the Silver Dragon Bone of Heavenly Punishment, and this soul tool is called the Peace of Heavenly Punishment."
Kong Deming waved his left hand lightly, and the Heavenly Punishment Necklace transformed into a silver streak of light and arrived in front of Kong Tianxu. With a "click," it automatically put on Kong Tianxu's neck.
The silver halo reappeared, and Kong Tianxu suddenly felt a cool current rush to his brain, making his thoughts much clearer.
Is this how you nurture the soul?
Seeing Kong Tianxu's shocked expression, Kong Deming couldn't help but smile smugly. His only grandson had ridiculously high standards, and there weren't many treasures that could make him show such an expression.
He stood up, patted Kong Tianxu on the shoulder, and walked towards the door. Before leaving, he added a few words of advice:
"Xu'er, with your talent, you will surely be able to successfully absorb this soul bone in the future, but you must tell your grandfather before you try. Moreover, you have already felt the effects of the Heavenly Punishment Peace, which nourishes the soul and enhances spiritual power. You will understand its significance in the future. His Majesty found some people he shouldn't have in order to ascend to the throne. This is his compensation."
