Chapter 46: The 100,000-Year Right Leg Bone of the Blue Silver Emperor

"They've left. It's time."

Yun Yibai was certain — the person he sensed earlier had been nearby.

A full day later, he finally took action.

His destination: the mountains behind Holy Spirit Village.

Since Tang Hao had chosen to remain there, given his famously devoted personality, it was unlikely he'd live far from the one he loved.

Yun Yibai moved swiftly to the rear mountains and soon arrived at a long mountain range.

"A secluded area like this must be where it's hidden. Only in a place like this would ordinary people never think to look."

Suddenly—

Boom!

A surge of power erupted from Yun Yibai's body.

The nearby grass and trees bent under the force. He hadn't yet fully adapted to the massive increase in soul power he'd gained from consuming the Fiery Apricot Petal and Eight-Spoked Ice Grass.

At the same time, two brilliant lights erupted behind him—

One a scorching red pattern like the blazing sun.

The other was a deep ice-blue, as cold as the abyss.

The two energies intertwined and gradually formed a pair of transparent, mystical dragon wings, gently beating and producing a faint yet powerful hum in the air.

This was yet another gift bestowed upon him by the two immortal herbs.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well — where the two herbs grew — had once been the burial site of the Ice and Fire Dragon King. Over countless years, the herbs had absorbed the pure essence and dragon bloodline lingering in the soil.

As a soul master with dragon bloodline, Yun Yibai's integration of these herbs not only enhanced his cultivation — but it also evolved his bloodline itself, creating a miraculous synergy.

These soul-force wings weren't from an external soul bone.

They were even stronger — a natural bloodline manifestation, attainable only when one's bloodline reached a high enough level.

And of course, the changes weren't limited to flight alone.

Yun Yibai moved his thoughts — and the wings followed.

He soared into the air with a gust of wind.

Time passed…

Eventually, his persistence paid off — he found it.

"There's the sound of water striking stone… This must be it."

He moved carefully, leaving no trace behind.

Though he was tempted to take the Blue Silver Emperor, he knew it wasn't the smart move — not yet.

Soon, Yun Yibai reached his destination. The sound grew louder above him, while before him stood a sheer cliff.

He used soul power to scale it. The air grew damper with each step.

Then, he saw it:

A crystal-clear pool, still and deep like a giant sapphire.

From a 200-meter-tall cliff, a 20-meter-wide waterfall cascaded like a jade ribbon.

The roaring water crashed into the pool below, creating a mist of droplets and, under the sun, a brilliant rainbow arched across the scene.

"I've found it."

Surrounded by towering peaks, vibrant with life, the waterfall and pool formed a majestic, dreamlike scene.

Yun Yibai took out an item — something prepared to conceal his aura and serve other special purposes.

Some time later, he reemerged from the area, swiftly and discreetly leaving.

Clearly — he had gained something.

He spent over half a month wandering before finally arriving at the nearest city.

In a quiet room, Yun Yibai opened a small metal box he had acquired.

A powerful aura pulsed from within — not oppressive, but gentle and life-filled, making him feel invigorated from head to toe.

Inside the box was a right leg bone.

Though the right leg bone ranked lower among the six core soul bones, this one was extraordinary.

It emitted a faint blue glow and a gentle life force.

The entire bone shimmered with a crystal-like blue-gold hue, sparkling like starlight within.

The surface of the bone flowed with fine, natural markings, giving off a deep, mysterious energy.

This was a complete soul bone — and even at a glance, one could sense it was of the highest grade.

Yun Yibai's hands trembled slightly with excitement.

Soul bones were already rare — a 100,000-year-old one was even more unbelievably precious.

"The 100,000-Year Right Leg Bone of the Blue Silver Emperor."

"Exceptional regenerative power, limitless stamina, and incredible speed…"

He was referring to the two soul skills granted by this soul bone:

One grants the ability to fly — the speed and duration depending on one's soul power.

The other:

"Wildfire may burn it all, but spring winds bring life again."

A skill that gives rapid healing and overwhelming vitality.

As long as he wasn't killed instantly, it would be almost impossible to keep him down.

No matter how you looked at it, this was a top-tier soul bone.

In a world with only so many 100,000-year soul beasts, soul bones of this level were dreams for most soul masters.

Naturally, Yun Yibai didn't hesitate.

He sat cross-legged on the bed and began to absorb the 100,000-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

He placed the bone against his right leg.

Hummm—

A soft vibration sounded.

Immediately, intense pain spread from the point of contact.

But compared to what he'd endured from refining the Fiery Apricot Petal and Eight-Spoked Ice Grass, this was nothing.

Moments later, a cool, refreshing energy flowed from the bone.

The crystal-blue soul bone gradually faded, dissolving into countless blue-gold streams, spreading around his leg.

There was no pain, no resistance.

Only peace — as if his right leg had sunk into a tranquil azure ocean.

Warm, nourishing power flowed out of the soul bone, merging with his body.

Yun Yibai could feel his every cell celebrating, welcoming this mighty force.

As the energy continued to permeate his body, his right leg became stronger, more agile — wrapped in a mysterious, empowering energy.

His blood surged. His life force boiled with vitality.

He inhaled deeply, feeling as if he could now draw even more of the world's essence, strengthening his body even further.
