Xuanwu War Sovereign

On the stone platform, Qin Feng stroked his chin, a peculiar look on his face.

This was the best method Qin Feng could come up with!

Even a Female Venerable was still a woman!

’But isn’t this a bit too sleazy?’

Qin Feng’s eyes flickered, but he quickly dismissed the sudden thought.

Groping her was just a means to an end, not the goal itself.

It was all for the Dragon Pearl!

A perfectly righteous justification.

Qin Feng took a step forward, pressing himself against the Female Venerable. As his eyes swept over her, they instantly widened.

Although the Female Venerable’s Divine Soul had departed, her physical body remained imperishable and brimming with Vitality. In a way, she wasn’t completely dead. Perhaps after many years, her body might even nurture a new soul and become a new living being.

Qin Feng gazed at the stunningly beautiful woman. Her face was exquisite, and she possessed a dignified, Divine air, along with a trace of untouchable nobility.

Even though she was sitting cross-legged, it was clear she had a tall, slender figure and a supple waist. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

What made his heart race and face flush was the exaggerated, undulating curve of her chest.

She was like a noble Goddess, one whom no one could bear to profane.

And yet, she also inspired a Demonic Thought.

No longer hesitating, Qin Feng slid his hand up and began to grope against her skin.

The flow of energy began to fluctuate.

A crack appeared in the harmonious flow of energy between the woman and the Dragon Pearl.

’The energy flow is destabilizing!’

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up. He increased the pressure in his hand and gave a firm squeeze.

PFFT!

With a soft hum, a wisp of Spiritual Light radiated from the Dragon Pearl as it abruptly floated up from the woman’s lap.

’Success!’

Snapping out of his daze, Qin Feng reacted with lightning speed. He raised a hand, forming a claw in the air, and seized the Dragon Pearl.

The Spiritual Light shimmered as a dense wave of Life Essence Qi pulsed in his palm.

As the Dragon Pearl left the woman’s lap, the half-black, half-white orb let out a soft, pure dragon’s cry, and a Divine radiance erupted from within.

ROAR!

It was a long, drawn-out dragon’s roar, seeming to echo from the depths of the river of time in the Taigu Era.

Qin Feng found he couldn’t hold onto the Dragon Pearl. It flew from his palm as undercurrents surged within the Seven-Star Dragon Spring. In the distance, a great dragon appeared. With a joyous roar, it plunged gleefully into the Dragon Pearl.

As the great dragon submerged itself into the Dragon Pearl, a small patch of the pitch-black stains on its surface was instantly purified.

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR!!

A few more wild roars echoed as, one after another, several great dragons shot out from the Seven-Star Dragon Spring, shaking their heads and wagging their tails. They too charged into the Dragon Pearl.

Among them was the small dragon with fully formed scales and claws that Qin Feng had seen before. The great dragons burrowed into the Dragon Pearl one by one, seeming to merge with it.

The Dragon Pearl’s luster grew ever softer and brighter.

In the span of just a few dozen breaths, the patch of extreme evil blackness on the Dragon Pearl completely dissipated.

’The Dragon Pearl is purifying itself!’

Qin Feng stared unblinkingly at the Dragon Pearl, a strange light glinting in his eyes.

A True Dragon Cave was an extremely rare landform. It was a land of treasure, but also a land of peril, possessing many mysterious and unfathomable powers.

Its most mysterious feature was the Dragon Pearl, also known as the Holy Dragon Pearl.

Legend said that a Holy Dragon Pearl nurtured within a True Dragon Cave was a Treasure of Heaven and Earth and possessed many unbelievably miraculous effects.

If a Barbaric Beast with a True Dragon Bloodline were to swallow it, it could instantly awaken its ancestry and undergo the Flying Sky Dragon Transformation. If a Martial Artist were to achieve its Refinement, they too would gain unimaginable benefits.

The Holy Dragon Pearl slowly descended from mid-air.

Qin Feng extended a hand and gently caught the Holy Dragon Pearl.

The next moment, Qin Feng realized that his other hand was, apparently, still on her chest.

Qin Feng glanced over, feeling a bit reluctant to let go. It felt far too good.

He gave it one last firm squeeze before pulling his hand away, a look of utter regret on his face.

’I have to absorb the Holy Dragon Pearl Essence as quickly as possible and try to heal my soul’s injuries!’

Forcibly tearing his eyes away from the stunningly beautiful woman, Qin Feng focused his solemn gaze on the Holy Dragon Pearl.

The Evil Qi and Death Qi on the Holy Dragon Pearl had all been expelled. Before long, the True Dragon Cave would recover, and the Ancestral Dragon Divine Wood would regain its Vitality.

Qin Feng immediately sat down cross-legged.

Cradling the Holy Dragon Pearl in his palm, Qin Feng focused his gaze. As wisps of Spiritual Light shone down from it, he felt his physical constitution being constantly refined.

His soul felt at ease, and the small portion of his Soul Power that he had severed was rapidly recovering.

’As expected of a Treasure of Heaven and Earth! The Spiritual Light it gives off is enough to start my soul’s recovery. If I can absorb its essence, I’ll definitely undergo a qualitative transformation!’

With a fervent look in his eyes, he forcibly suppressed his distracting thoughts. Holding the Holy Dragon Pearl in his palm, Qin Feng activated the Bone Marrow Extraction and Essence Transformation Technique and began to draw out the Holy Dragon Pearl Essence.

A suction force manifested in his palm, and a thread of pure Holy Dragon Essence was forcibly extracted from the Holy Dragon Pearl.

A warm, liquid-like stream of Holy Dragon Essence poured into him, reaching the very depths of his soul.

The surging Primordial Essence scoured his flesh and blood, baptizing his soul.

Bathed in this Holy Dragon Essence, Qin Feng’s soul felt as if it were soaking in a hot spring. The injuries he had sustained began to heal.

Ten minutes later, Qin Feng opened his eyes. The small portion of his soul that he had forcibly severed had now completely recovered.

His entire soul felt refreshed and seemed to radiate a Spiritual Light. His thoughts were far more agile than before.

A single thought could now branch into countless lines of reasoning.

He could now instantly comprehend the profound mysteries of Cultivation Techniques that were previously beyond his grasp, and could even extrapolate further principles from them.

Qin Feng’s soul had been refined.

His Sixth Sense, which had atrophied significantly after being damaged, was not only restored but was now clearer and had a greater range.

Closing his eyes, Qin Feng felt as if he could ’see’ the slightest change within a radius of several meters around his body.

The most wondrous change was to his body. Having absorbed some of the Holy Dragon Essence, he now exuded an air of majesty, making him seem, at a glance, like a True Dragon Emperor.

Opening his eyes, Qin Feng gazed at the Holy Dragon Pearl, which now emanated a hazy glow. He sighed softly, "This thing really is a treasure!"

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Just then, pale cyan shadows above him, resembling Qiu Longs, began to stir as if waking from hibernation, gently disturbing the water.

Qin Feng was startled and looked up. The Ancestral Dragon Divine Wood was already beginning to recover its power. Its pale cyan, swimming-dragon-like roots were gradually becoming active.

’I can’t stay underwater for much longer!’

’I can hold out for two hours at most!’

After a quick mental calculation, Qin Feng glanced at the Ancestral Dragon Divine Wood above. Gritting his teeth, he resolved to steal the Holy Dragon Essence with everything he had.

This Holy Dragon Essence offered him unbelievable benefits!

An opportunity like this comes once in a thousand years—a true once-in-a-lifetime chance.

This bowl-sized Holy Dragon Pearl contained the life essence of the True Dragon Cave, accumulated over countless years!

’I’ll take as much as I possibly can!’

Qin Feng frantically operated the Bone Marrow Extraction and Essence Transformation Technique. Above him, the pale cyan roots of the Ancestral Dragon Divine Wood grew increasingly active, on the verge of full recovery.

Once the roots of the Ancestral Dragon Divine Wood fully recovered, the Seven-Star Dragon Spring would become a true forbidden ground—a death trap.

Any creature that dared to trespass in the Seven-Star Dragon Spring would be hunted down by the Ancestral Dragon Divine Wood.

(This is the second Chapter of the day. I was going to post two at once, but decided to release this one early. The third Chapter will be up shortly. The fourth and fifth Chapters will be out tonight.)
