Chapter 0004: The Dream of the Jade Tower

The jade tower glowed, rotating in Ye Qiu's hand, as if it were assessing his body

This time, Ye Qiu's inquiry received a response, a faint sound emanating from his bosom

Ye Qiu looked curiously at the jade tower, and many thoughts flashed through his mind

Ye Qiu asked in surprise, "What advantages does this life soul pearl have compared to an ordinary person's life soul pearl?"

Originally, I had a lifespan of one hundred and eighty years, but encountering this little pagoda has unexpectedly consumed half of it, which is simply the height of misfortune

Dream Spirit Path: "Indeed, there exist invisible Soul Orbs in the world, which are orbs without attributes, or can be understood as a convergence of multiple attributes. Your Soul Orb is quite unique, possessing multiple attributes such as Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, lightning, and frost, making it truly one of a kind. Such a Soul Orb should not exist; the only explanation is that you possess an orb without attributes, which, under certain specific circumstances, has fused with elements of multiple attributes, resulting in your currently unique seven-colored Soul Orb"

This jade tower appears to be quite valuable, but what exactly is it? If it is not a fragment of a magical treasure, how could it possibly have entered its own wound?

Ye Qiu, your blood is useful to me and can assist me in gradually recovering, but within the blood lies another mysterious power that binds me

A faint light flickered, and the jade tower emerged, lingering on the soul orb, as the rainbow light was fading, and the soul orb returned to its original color

Dream Spirit Path: "I will soon directly enter your Soul Pearl, as it knows your physical condition best"

Ye Qiu is not one to be content with mediocrity; he did not perish in the Abyss of Sky Burial, so what does this scene before him amount to?

Ye Qiu's expression was somewhat awkward as he spoke to a small tower, feeling quite uncomfortable

How to understand

Dream Spirit Path: "Your essence can aid in my recovery, but drawing from your essence will deplete your lifespan. Therefore, I must ensure that your strength continues to grow and your lifespan continues to extend in order to offset this consumption"

Ye Qiu smiled wryly, feeling helpless, and changed the subject, saying: "Since you are already aware of my situation, what kind of cultivation method do you think I should practice in order to reach the Void Realm in the shortest time possible?"

The jade tower emitted a gentle light, and after absorbing Ye Qiu's essence blood, its aura seemed to have grown stronger

The surface of the jade tower shimmered with a faint light, and a gentle voice entered his mind

Given Ye Qiu's current situation, he is alone and helpless in the Barbarian Martial Gate, and it is uncertain how many years or months it will take for him to rise step by step

Dream Spirit Path: "Your current realm is too low; focus on your cultivation. Improving your strength is the first step"

The jade tower emitted a wondrous vibration, and that gentle sound resonated in Ye Qiu's mind

Ye Qiu observed for a long time, and no matter how he looked at it, this object did not resemble a fragment of a magical treasure at all; it was entirely a complete and independent item, a small and exquisite jade pagoda

The sound is crisp and pleasant, resembling that of a young girl, yet what appears before his eyes is a jade tower

What exactly are you?

Ye Qiu was puzzled and somewhat doubted whether the problem lay with himself

Ye Qiu let out a cry of pain as his brow was pierced, and his vital blood surged wildly into the jade tower

Meng Ling seemed to understand Ye Qiu's thoughts and said with a light laugh: "Rest assured, I will not let you die here. As long as you leave the Ancient Wilderness Continent in the future, I can recover on my own. Before that, I will help you greatly enhance your cultivation and rapidly increase your strength, allowing you to quickly enter the Void Realm and gain the power to leave the Ancient Wilderness Continent"

At that moment, a look of regret appeared on Ye Qiu's face. His gaze inadvertently swept over the Soul Pearl on his left hand and noticed that it was continuously flickering, indicating that in just that brief moment, thirty years of his lifespan had been consumed.

The jade tower shimmered, slowly ascending, rapidly rotating around Ye Qiu's wrist, and continuously shrinking, ultimately transforming into a beam of jade light that shot into Ye Qiu's soul pearl.

What on earth is this nonsense, if you have the ability, come out

It is quite strange; your constitution is unlike that of ordinary people, and I have never encountered such a mysterious power before

Dream Spirit Path: "Just now, I had to absorb a portion of your lifespan in order to gain a comprehensive understanding of your physical condition. This will not happen again in the future"

Alright, I trust you. What shall we do next

Ye Qiu placed the jade tower in the palm of his hand, the ever-changing mist within it was exceedingly mysterious, seemingly concealing profound secrets

Ye Qiu murmured to himself, observing in all directions and listening attentively, yet still made no discoveries

The previous World War I was an unforeseen disaster for the outer sect, resulting in significant casualties among the outer sect disciples. An order has been issued to temporarily rest for five days.

A jade tower flickers in and out of view within the soul gem, seemingly absorbing the essence of colors, causing it to shimmer continuously. Above it, Ye Qiu's lifespan is displayed as continuously diminishing, decreasing from one hundred and fifty years to one hundred and twenty years, and then to merely ninety years.

Ye Qiu felt a stir in his heart. He hailed from the Nine Provinces of the Human Domain, and his greatest desire was to leave the Ancient Wilderness Continent and return to his homeland. Unfortunately, his strength was too weak.

Ye Qiu was taken aback, looking at the jade tower in his palm, and noticed that its surface began to emit a faint glow, with intricate and profound divine patterns manifesting.

Ye Qiu said with a bitter smile: "Could you possibly change your location? I am afraid that if you are not careful, you might drain my lifespan completely"

Oh, Dream Spirit, my name is Ye Qiu

This does not seem like a fragment

Ye Qiu said: "I am currently practicing the Mountain Moving Technique... What do you think?"

Ye Qiu hesitated and asked, "What can I do to help you"

However, the Jade Tower is extremely mysterious. Although it has suffered severe damage and can only exert a faint power, it has successfully entered Ye Qiu's Soul Pearl. If this scene were to be witnessed by outsiders, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation.

Blood Maple City, this is the Ancient Wilderness Continent, the Nine Layers of the Nether Domain

He had never heard that the Soul Pearl could contain external objects; generally speaking, forcing entry would only shatter the Soul Pearl, effectively depriving him of his life

Ye Qiu wore a tense expression, his eyes revealing a sense of vigilance

Lifting his left hand, Ye Qiu observed closely. Before he could see clearly, the jade tower suddenly flew up and struck Ye Qiu's forehead, the tip of the tower piercing his skin and causing blood to ooze out

Ye Qiu anxiously gazed at the Soul Pearl, noticing that it had once again begun to change color, transforming from silver-white to golden yellow, emerald green, and purple-red, ultimately displaying a spectrum of colors.

On the surface of the jade tower, strands of light swiftly dance about, pausing momentarily wherever they go, only to fade away shortly thereafter

In the blink of an eye, the Jade Tower had drained Ye Qiu of sixty years of his lifespan, leaving him both furious and helpless.

Your soul gem is unlike that of ordinary people, please tell me about its original state

Ye Qiu fell silent upon hearing this, a thought flashed through his mind: he had been in a deep sleep in the Sky Burial Abyss for three years, and something must have happened during that time

Ye Qiu was taken aback and blurted out, "You... you... can speak?"

It is you

In the middle of the night, a strange wave of energy awakened Ye Qiu. He opened his eyes and looked around; the wooden cabin was silent, yet the wave he had just experienced did not seem like a mere illusion

In the current situation of Ye Qiu, not knowing many things is, in fact, a blessing

Fortunately, this scene did not last long, as the jade tower automatically fell back, landing in the palm of Ye Qiu's left hand

I am a spirit of the instrument, you may call me Dream Spirit

The fusion of essence and blood facilitates communication

Meng Ling smiled and said: "There are many benefits, the most direct manifestation is that you can cultivate any attribute of martial arts. In addition, the essence I have stored in your life soul pearl has the best effect on my recovery"

After sitting quietly for a moment, the third wave of fluctuations appeared again. Ye Qiu finally understood that it was not his own problem, but something strange was really happening.

Ye Qiu's expression changed drastically; he had just expended thirty years of his lifespan merely for the sake of communication. If this continued and his vital essence was constantly drained by it, he would inevitably meet his demise at its hands.

The words of the Dream Spirit left Ye Qiu astonished, and he could not help but ask: "Why is this happening?"

Ye Qiu called out several times, but the jade tower merely trembled slightly, and it seemed that communication between the two parties was impossible

Meng Ling seemed somewhat surprised, with a hint of astonishment in her tone

Ye Qiu recalled the explosion, but unfortunately, he was not clear about the specific circumstances at the time and could not comprehend the mysteries within. He had no choice but to temporarily put away the jade tower and go tend to his wounds

Before I turned thirteen, the Soul Pearl had never manifested, and I did not know the reason. I have heard that there exists an invisible Soul Pearl in the world, but I do not know if it belongs to this category

There are certain matters that Meng Ling did not disclose to Ye Qiuming; firstly, because she was uncertain, and secondly, because she did not wish for Ye Qiu to know too much

The Jade Tower represents an opportunity for Ye Qiu; although there are risks involved, as long as one is alive, there will always be a chance to break free

After observing for a while without any abnormalities, Ye Qiu continued his cultivation. Unexpectedly, a moment later, the fluctuation came again, startling Ye Qiu.

Strange, could it be that I sensed it incorrectly

What exactly are you, a tower, a person, or something else

Ye Qiu was diligently practicing. Everything that happened today gave him a sense of foreboding. If he could not quickly enhance his strength, he feared that changes would occur

Ye Qiu was both shocked and angry; thirty years of life, just like that, had vanished. How could he not feel heartache?

This is the voice of the soul. I have previously suffered a severe blow, and your realm is too low, so I can only communicate in this manner

Ye Qiu said: "Blood Maple City, Barbarian Martial Gate"

Bringing a bowl of water, Ye Qiu placed the object in his hand into the bowl to wash away the bloodstains, only to discover that it was a small jade pagoda. Although it was only the size of a pea, it was as translucent as jade, round and smooth, with a swirling mist of energy inside that changed unpredictably

Dream Spirit Path: "As of now, you are doing quite well, but you need a complete set of supreme techniques. I need to have a comprehensive understanding of you in order to determine what to teach you."

My situation is quite special; the Ancient Continent has restrictions on me, and I am unable to recover here. I need your assistance

Where is this place

What is the situation

Ye Qiu was taken aback, reaching into his bosom and coincidentally touching the jade tower, discovering that it was vibrating slightly and emitting strange fluctuations

Your physical condition is much more complex than I had anticipated, and there are still some aspects that I cannot fully comprehend. Please allow me a few days to consider this thoroughly, while you focus on practicing the Mountain Moving Technique for now

At that moment, Ye Qiu's body trembled, and his expression was one of panic

Ye Qiu stared at the Yuta tower, feeling extremely depressed.

It is precisely the Ancient Wilderness Continent
