Soul Trigger

Chapter 437 Soul Blood (I)

Looking at Ji Li, whose body had risen into the air without anyone noticing, King Yuanling's dragon-like eyes became increasingly blazing.

He couldn't believe that the dragon vein's reaction would be so huge, which meant that the dragon soul blood in Ji Li's body was of extremely high purity.

Feeling the ups and downs of the "dragon power" in the dragon vein, King Yuanling's heart became more and more excited. If it continues to develop at this frequency, Ji Li may be able to completely gain the recognition of the dragon vein in this mausoleum. In this way...

"This kid really gave me a big surprise..."

At this moment, outside the Lingbo Prison, the white-haired girl looked at the ancestral hall that was constantly emitting waves, with a hint of astonishment in her eyes.

The grip on the sword in her hand gradually tightened, and finally loosened heavily, turning into a sigh.

At this moment, Ji Li felt that the curse mark of his inner world was burning like a branding iron, and the temperature had reached the point of burning his soul.

He only felt that his blood and soul were ignited and boiling like liquid. There was a force that was rapidly spreading throughout his body along his soul and body and gradually taking shape.

In King Yuanling's eyes, layers of golden scales were emerging on Ji Li's body, wrapping him into an armored human figure in golden dragon armor, shining brightly in front of the wide-open dragon vein eye.

In Ji Li's soul space, the entire soul museum was shaking, and a golden light was rushing endlessly, flooding into it madly.

Display cases were submerged in it, plated with gold, and there were cognitive golems one after another, until the entire exhibition hall was submerged.

But when the golden light poured into the deep room and reached a standing figure, the boiling light suddenly stagnated.

Odin.

Ever since Ji Li's soul space turned into the image of a museum, Odin's figure has existed in one of the large rooms, still standing there in that shadowy look.

But the golden light was isolated around Odin and could not advance any further.

After a brief pause, the golden light began to boil again, rushing madly towards Odin's room.

Just when the entire room, except for Odin's body, was filled with boiling golden light, Odin's shadowy figure suddenly solidified, and then he suddenly looked up.

It was as if an invisible explosion sounded throughout the entire soul space, and the rushing golden light suddenly exploded and fled madly to the rear.

At the moment when Ji Li in the outside world sensed that a certain threshold was about to be broken, the ignited soul and blood power suddenly began to fade from his body at a rapid speed, like a flood, and ran away very fast.

King Yuanling, who was standing next to him with an excited look on his face, was stunned for a moment. He saw the golden light on Ji Li's body dim rapidly, and his golden armor was dissolved almost instantly. He was dumbfounded on the spot:
"what happened?!"

Before he finished speaking, Ji Li's body had already fallen to the ground. He opened his eyes and saw that he was only wearing a piece of golden soft armor that looked no different from a vest. He was also a little stunned:

"Who am I asking you to ask me?"

"No no no... Why is this happening?! It shouldn't be like this!!!"

The huge dragon vein eye was still fluctuating at this moment, as if this guy was also surprised that Ji Li failed to successfully ignite the soul blood.

King Yuanling roared, and his short figure grabbed Ji Li's arm, and his spiritual essence frantically explored his soul and body, and the four types of abilities were directly swept away by him.

Although he was shocked by the amount of messy stuff in Ji Li's body, he now urgently wanted to know why the activation of the soul blood failed.

After a period of forced groping, King Yuanling's expression became uncertain, and he gradually fell silent, and finally gently let go of Ji Li's wrist.

"...Surely there is such a reaction? Why is it like this..."

He just kept muttering like a madman, and Ji Li called out to him several times but there was no response.

So Ji Li simply sank into his soul and carefully checked what he had obtained.

After some exploration, he realized a problem. This so-called "activation" could not be called a "failure."

But Ji Li had to admit that all he got in the end was the golden vest on his body.

No, this dragon scale thing is still falling down, and now it is only the size of a bra.

Judging from the area, it can still be used by Yan Xiyu now, but I guess in a while it can only be used by the white-haired girl who just fought with him with a knife.

After taking a look at the still boiling dragon vein eye and the muttering child's father, Ji Li was speechless.

Is it reasonable that after all this fuss, you only gave me a pair of underwear?

However, he had never considered this happening in the first place. Whether it happened or not was not something Ji Li had expected, so he didn't care too much.

The kid's father was a man of swift and decisive actions. He was wondering if it would be a bit awkward to meet this guy. He would not play the role of a son to a little brat who was not even a hundred years old.

Now, the father really looks like the son, and it’s hard to tell who is the father if they stand on the street.

Another point is that although this thing is only the size of a chest, it is not completely without effect.

Ji Li casually drew out the eight-sided Han sword, swung it casually, and the spiritual essence turned into sharp sword energy that shot out, but he himself did not sense the turmoil of the Shenzhou Dragon Vein.

He did not gain nothing, at least, he could use his abilities.

However, it seems that only the [Blade Master] type can use it. If you want to use red lightning, black wind and crazy fire, the moment of activation will attract the attention of the angry dragon vein.

Although he didn't know what the dragon vein eye floating in the air was, it could be roughly assumed that he was now in close contact with the dragon vein, so the sense of attention was particularly obvious.

At least, this is a good start. Of course, if this problem can be completely solved before joining the Tombstone, it will weaken many of the passive situations in the cooperation between myself and the Tombstone.

At this moment, the Dragon Vein Eye was still fluctuating like a black hole, and even a hint of blood could be seen inside.

Ji Li could sense that this thing was expressing an extremely unwilling emotion, as if it was quite unhappy about not being able to ignite its own soul blood.

He looked at the child's father in front of him:

"So, what exactly is a dragon vein? Why does my ectoplasm cause it to run wild?"

King Yuanling sighed deeply. The deep voice coming out of that handsome face made Ji Li feel funny no matter how he looked at it:

"The Dragon Vein of Shenzhou, a cluster of spiritual hubs that existed during the Shang and Yin dynasties."

"It is a totem formed from the wishes of the people and the emperor at that time, protecting the land under your feet. With the change of generations, the expansion of the empire, and the integration with more ethnic groups, it has become more and more powerful and perfect."

Ji Li frowned: "So, it is the real emperor who rules Shulong?"

King Yuanling glanced at him, somewhat speechless:

"The Shulong people are not ruled by him, because he is Shulong."

If Ji Li himself has no talent in spiritual quality, he will not force it.

Although the situation in Shulong's country is rather complicated now, and Yuanling Palace is also in some trouble, but as one of the Ling princes, it is not difficult for him to protect an illegitimate child and let him live happily, as long as he is not involved in the disputes in the Forbidden City.

But since Ji Li showed such a strange phenomenon just now, it means that he has a willpower beyond that of ordinary people.

Although the birth of a dragon servant is a transformation ritual achieved by igniting soul blood, it is also closely related to the awakening of spiritual light.

Different people have completely different wills when they awaken. No matter what kind of spiritual light it is, their purpose and obsession at the moment of awakening are not the same, which leads to different strengths of will.

In King Yuanling's opinion, Ji Li's performance showed that his awakening was due to his extremely strong will, which enabled him to draw the dragon vein to this extent.

And such a will should not be hidden. For both public and private reasons, he cannot allow such a talent to be wasted in obscurity.

What's more, you, a bastard, have become the top boss of Aurora City in Silla, so how could you not be able to ignite your soul blood? !
Try it once, and you must try it again!
King Yuanling's eyes flickered as he continued to explain to Ji Li:

"The Shenzhou Dragon Vein is a unique spiritual hub for the Shulong people. It not only carries the original wishes and expectations, but also the desires of the entire Shulong people. It will always protect every Shulong person."

"He is also the embodiment of the spirit of all Shulong people over the past thousands of years. He is a totem, and also the country of Shulong itself."

"One of the rules of the current Shenzhou Dragon Vein is 'No invasion of territory'. He will destroy all invaders and protect the people of Shulong."

"And the corrupt aura on you... such as the crazy radiation or the ominous lightning, are all invaders to it. Naturally, you are also an invader."

"The invaders will endanger the existence of Shulong's people. As the one who protects Shulong, He will of course show His wrath."

"The essence of spiritual essence is spirit and will. No matter what you do with these powers, these powers themselves are born from the opposite side of the world. They are born from negative thoughts and emotions and must be eliminated."

Ji Li roughly understood:
"Based on this, I need to ignite the soul blood and gain the recognition of Shulong, so that it will understand that my existence is not intended to harm Shulong and his people..."

During the conversation, neither of them noticed that the blood color in the dragon vein's eye was becoming increasingly intense.

At this time, Ji Li suddenly mentioned Silla's Eight-Part Oath. As the spiritual hub of the cluster, the relationship between the Eight-Part Oath and Silla is completely different from the relationship between the Shenzhou Dragon Vein and Shulong.

King Yuanling scoffed at this:
The Eight-Part Oath originally belonged to the Cluster Spirit of the Asian Federation, but after Silla took away a part of it, it became Silla's Cluster Spirit.

That was not a cluster of spiritual hubs spontaneously formed by the people of Silla. Throughout the entire world, only and only one country, Shulong, possessed a cluster of spiritual hubs as huge as the Shenzhou Dragon Vein, with rules covering the entire country.

He is Shulong himself, and belongs completely to Shulong, because He is the creation of the Shulong people's spirit over thousands of years.

His existence will become stronger as the Shulong people become stronger, and his rules will also change as the Shulong people change. He is a cluster of spiritual hubs that exists entirely for the Shulong people.

In the mouth of King Yuanling, it is a shame to compare the Eight-Point Oath with the Dragon Vein of Shenzhou.

"So..." Ji Li couldn't help but ask:

"You said the Shang Dynasty. How many years ago was that?"

King Yuanling glared at Ji Li instantly:
"That's something that all kindergarten kids have heard of, the Investiture of the Gods! Didn't your mom tell you about it when you were a kid?!"

Ji Li understood:

"So I really have a mother?"

The moment the words fell, King Yuanling was startled.

His dragon eyes narrowed as he stared at Ji Li. He was unable to utter a word for a long time, and then his face suddenly sank into shadow.

In the dim light, his dragon eyes suddenly became extremely old and filled with a deep sadness.

Ji Li seemed to see him sinking into darkness.
