Chapter 906 - The Final Winner

Every part of a giant dragon was a treasure.

In ancient times, even if a strand of dragon whiskers dropped, it would be a greatly nourishing item that would cause all ferocious beasts to fight over it.

Once they obtained and consumed it, their bodies would be instantly enhanced. If a fish species swallowed it, they would instantly be able to ‘leap over the dragon gate’ and transform into a mighty flood dragon.

As for the soul of a giant dragon, there was no need to mention it. It was a top-rated item among top-rated items.

This time around, Sun Mo had obtained the consciousness fragments of the dragon soul and this could be considered an extremely pure energy source. After the contract was concluded by Air Proof, a hint of soul information entered Sun Mo’s mind. Fusing with him, that energy automatically integrated itself with his lifesource.

The Dragon Subduing Palace was the ultimate treasure of the Dragon Subduing Academy. Its name was renowned through the Nine Provinces and its construction history could be weaved into an epic saga.

If one wanted to maintain the normal operation of this gigantic place, an astronomical amount of spirit diamonds was needed. But now, some of their energy flooded into Sun Mo’s body, helping him in his breakthrough.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sun Mo’s spirit qi started to overflow. The impact caused was powerful, but the excess energy had no way to break Sun Mo’s skin.

Battlegod Protection!

Sun Mo once again activated the Battlegod Protection halo and used it to share a portion of the damage he endured. At the same time, he also executed the Dharma Skyshock Fist and Heavenly Sword Art to drain the excess spirit qi in his body.

No one other than him could do that.

When others were breaking through, they were deeply afraid that their bodies wouldn’t be able to absorb sufficient spirit qi, thereby causing their breakthrough to fail. Hence, the vast majority of cultivators would prepare alchemy pills and large amounts of spirit stones before they tried to break through. But Sun Mo had it good. He even had to drain excess spirit qi or he would explode from being too full.

…

Duanmu Li was adjusting his breath while surveying Sun Mo with a hard-to-understand expression on his face.

He was a secondary saint, and this was why he understood that the plan had failed. The dragon soul was gone and became Sun Mo’s battle pet.

“It’s actually a spiritual divine language?”

Duanmu Li marveled. Sun Mo would always give him huge surprises. Sadly, he wasn’t someone from his faction.

The dragon soul descended and stood before Sun Mo. This way, it could block any attacks executed by Duanmu Li.

“Why did you choose him?” Duanmu Li asked, “You know I won’t mistreat you.”

“I understand. You are actually a good person.”

The dragon soul sighed. Duanmu Li’s magnanimity was truly broad. If it was other secondary saints, when they saw the prey that they had plotted for over decades to obtain being snatched away, they might just go crazy and start killing, devastating their enemy so badly that their enemy’s bones turned into ash. However, Duanmu Li didn’t do so.

This indicated that in Duanmu Li’s heart, although the dragon soul was important, a genius rising star in the great teacher world was just as important. If he killed Sun Mo, it would be a loss so grievous that the great teacher world would cry.

In fact, he didn’t even plan to kill Murong Mingyue, who was Murong Ye’s most capable helper that almost destroyed his plans. He simply glanced at her.

She was a genius great teacher that was hard to come by even in a thousand years.

“But I’m truly afraid. I no longer want to lead a life as that of a prisoner. Secondary saints like you who obtained me would surely occupy the dominant position. If you wanted me to cooperate to do some experiments, how would I be qualified to reject? But if I’m with Sun Mo, my status with him is equal. In fact, he even needs my help. Since that’s the case, he would definitely treat me courteously.”

The dragon soul explained.

“Do you want to say that us old fellows are standing at the peak of the food chain and can even live for a very long time, whereas Sun Mo might die prematurely and you could regain your freedom then?”

Duanmu Li’s lips twitched. This was actually the real reason why the dragon soul chose Sun Mo.

Did the dragon soul admire Sun Mo? That was for sure.

But the dragon soul definitely wouldn’t become a battle pet for someone just because of admiration.

After all, who doesn’t love freedom?

“Oi, human. Are you not going to run?”

The dragon soul shouted at Murong Mingyue as it changed the topic.

“Kill me!”

Murong Mingyue had a calm expression. But after she surveyed the surroundings and was certain that Murong Ye had turned into dust, she heaved a sigh of relief as the tension between her brows showed a hint of release.

Ever since she was young and became sensible, her uncle had always strictly warned her to remember her responsibility and help their tribe to prosper. However, Murong Mingyue just wanted to happily research the study of puppetry and create ‘toys’. She didn’t want to fiddle with corpses at all.

“Just kill me!”

Murong Mingyue stared at Duanmu Li and brushed away the hair before her forehead. Now, everything could finally end.

“Murong Mingyue. The word ‘ancestor-level’ doesn’t simply represent your knowledge. Your mentality and attitude also have to be at the ancestor level. Otherwise, if an ancestor without a great mentality starts their own faction, it would vanish in just several years. As for you, you solely have knowledge but don’t have the willpower to match it.”

Duanmu Li looked at Murong Mingyue and felt somewhat regretful. But he also felt some hope. “Like right now, when you encounter a setback, you shouldn’t think of dying so everything would be over. You should be searching for a way to resolve this instead.”

Bzz!

Golden light erupted forth from Duanmu Li’s body. Priceless Advice had activated.

“That’s right. If you are not afraid of death, could it be that you are afraid of living on?”

Sun Mo spoke, “Mingyue, you must know that to some people, living on is the toughest thing.”

Bzz!

Golden light erupted forth from Sun Mo. Priceless Advice also activated from him.

“I…” Murong Mingyue hid her face. She felt extremely ashamed.

“Many thanks, Teacher Duanmu.” Sun Mo clasped his fists.

This gratitude was sincere.

One must know that a cultivator was at their weakest when they were trying to break through. If there was the slightest bit of disturbance, the breakthrough would fail and the cultivator might die from a backlash.

But Duanmu Li spared Sun Mo because he had obtained the dragon soul.

Sun Mo had broken through and he was now at the ninth level of the Divine Force Realm.

The next level would be the Longevity Realm.

This realm, as its name implied, would allow a cultivator to lengthen their lifespan upon breaking through to it. Their lifespan could at most reach 1,000 years.

The earlier one reached the Longevity Realm, the slower their face would age. If Sun Mo entered the Longevity Realm at 25 years old, he could maintain his looks for several hundred years before he suffered from aging.

Young, healthy, and an increase in lifespan. Eternity was the dream humans chased after.

This was especially so for female cultivators. All of them wanted to maintain their youth. This was why many try to search for shortcuts while disregarding the consequences, all for the sake of entering the Longevity Realm before they had wrinkles.

“Sigh, when can I change my personality of loving and cherishing good students?”

Duanmu Li sighed.

“Sun Mo, someone like Secondary Saint Duanmu would absolutely become a good teacher and helpful friend on your path as a great teacher. Why are you not taking him as your teacher yet?”

The dragon soul didn’t want to give Sun Mo a chance to reject.

Because they had signed the contract using the spiritual divine language, the dragon soul also knew many things regarding Sun Mo. For example, he had graduated from the Songyang Academy, but because his results were below average, he didn’t have a personal teacher.

Actually, some great teachers had tried to recruit Sun Mo. But this little fellow had wanted to take the old headmaster of the Central Province Academy as his personal teacher. This was why Sun Mo still didn’t have a personal teacher up until now.

The dragon soul felt that if Sun Mo had a chance to hug the thigh of a secondary saint, he could at least live peacefully and securely during the years of his development phase, which would usually last for several decades.

(By obtaining me, it’s equivalent to obtaining the Great Desolation Dragon Subduing Scripture. If this news was to spread, people would definitely be setting traps to ambush you. At that time, if you don’t die, who would?)

Sun Mo’s lips spasmed.

(Is there a mistake? After we conclude the contract, are you going to swindle me?)

(Do you know that this fellow is a Starlord from the Dark Dawn? He is an extremely powerful BOSS, a formidable enemy of Saint Gate. If I became his personal student, my head would be chopped off very soon and placed on the office desk of the Saint Gate’s Sect Lord.)

Sun Mo’s lips twitched. (Can you be smarter?)

Duanmu Li fell silent and quietly surveyed Sun Mo. He actually knew that the dragon’s soul suggestion would definitely not come true, but he couldn’t help but feel a little anticipation.

What if it really happened?

Who wouldn’t eat wontons when celebrating the new year?

Sadly, he didn’t have any wontons…

The dragon soul also understood it had misspoken. Just when it was preparing to say something to make up for it, a terrifying aura suddenly descended.

The dragon soul was an old monster that had lived for tens of thousands of years. It could be considered to have seen many things before. But right now, it was so afraid that its entire being was trembling.

(It’s over, we are going to die!)

The dragon soul despaired.
