Chapter 359: Hard to Explain

If one followed the stretch of the river downstream and turned into a tranquil tributary, they would find themselves in calm waters.

Amidst this serene stretch of the river, a pleasure boat was seen gently floating.

On the boat, light singing and dancing filled the air, with guests in a state of intoxicated enjoyment. Inside the cabin, a young man with golden eyes and a patch of silver scales on his forehead lay on a soft couch, resting with his eyes half-closed.

Suddenly, a disturbance appeared on the river's surface, as if distant ripples had reached this calm place.

The young man suddenly widened his eyes. At this moment, his eyes sparkled with a beam of divine light that seemed to pierce through the heavens and earth. N/nêw n0vel chap/ers are published o/n n0v/e/(lb)i(n.)co/m

"What's wrong?" A tall man with red hair and beard, dressed in black robes, pushed open the cabin door and stepped inside.

"I sensed dragon aura, the young man replied, his golden eyes still glowing with divine intensity as he peered into the distance. “I’ll be right back.”

With that, he leapt up, transforming into a streak of silver light and vanishing from sight.

"You told me not to act rashly, but then you go off on your own..." the red-haired man grumbled, pausing to confirm that the young man with golden eyes was truly gone before cursing under his breath. "Damn it."

...

“The Dragon Soul of Baxia is still around?”

In the underwater tomb, a long time passed before things settled down again. The aquatic demons, still in shock, climbed back up, wondering what had just happened.

Chu Liang voiced his own question.

Some powerful demonic beasts could sometimes preserve their soul essence.

As time passed, souls would usually degrade until they eventually withered away. However, unless the soul suffered severe damage, which could shatter the soul while leaving the essence intact, they would follow this gradual decay.

At that point, they would often leave their soul essence to their descendants, allowing them to merge with their power. This portion of the soul essence carried some of the physical power without any side effects.

For example, Liu Xiaoyu'er, after merging with the Flying-Fish Soul Essence[1], became incredibly fast, and Liu Xiaoyu, after merging with the Baxia Soul Essence, gained immense strength. These were the powers of the soul essence.

But the soul was in a more mysterious and mysterious realm.

If the physical body were to be destroyed, the soul essence would shatter, leaving the soul unanchored and causing it to swiftly dissipate and die. Only a soul that had been specially refined could survive on its own. However, most of these souls were unconscious remnants, essentially lifeless. A fully self-refined soul, like Old Fei's, was a rare and extraordinary exception.

Generally speaking, as long as both the soul and soul essence remained intact, it meant the being was still alive!

But if the Baxia was not dead, why would it hastily build such a tomb for itself? It even completed the carvings and separated its soul and essence.

Had it been that impatient?

"It's the Dragon God's throne..." Chu Liang silently muttered to himself, inwardly lamenting that Liu Xiaoyu and the aquatic demons hadn't paid more attention to the carvings earlier. The carvings had clearly depicted Baxia once carrying the Dragon God's throne.

The answer was right in front of them.

"Why is Baxia's soul still here?" she asked another question.

It was because of the power of the Dragon God's throne... Chu Liang answered silently in his heart.

Baxia's soul had indeed dissipated, but because it died in this space, it triggered the mystical power of the Dragon God's throne. Over the centuries, the throne reassembled Baxia's soul, which was why its Dragon Soul was so complete.

However, the dispersal and reassembly of the soul was like a rebirth. The Dragon Soul that had just left was no longer closely related to the Baxia that died.

For this reason, the newly formed Dragon Soul was trapped by the wall created by the Baxia that died. Only after Liu Xiaoyu pushed open the wall with the Baxia Dual Rings could it escape.

"Where did that mountain-like throne go?" Liu Xiaoyu murmured one last question.

Chu Liang knew the answer to this question as well.

Even though he knew the answers to Liu Xiaoyu's questions, he didn't respond, as doing so would lead to more complications. The reason was that the Dragon God's throne was with him!

To be precise, it wasn't literally with him. When Chu Liang saw the Dragon God's throne, the Blue Dragon's Orb within him unleashed immense power and summoned the Dragon God's throne away! Obviously, it had to leverage Chu Liang's own strength as the host of the orb.

Even with Chu Liang's vast amount of foundational qi, it wasn't sufficient to perform such a powerful summoning. As soon as the Dragon God's throne landed in the Blue Dragon's Hidden Realm, Chu Liang sensed that at least half of the draconic demonic beasts within the hidden realm had exploded to their deaths.

These draconic creatures came into being through the hidden realm. At this moment, they were used to nurture the hidden realm, becoming part of the power used to summon the Dragon God's throne.

The moment the throne landed, the earth shattered and mountains crumbled!

The entire Blue Dragon's Hidden Realm underwent unprecedented upheaval! It was as if a meteor had struck, bringing the world to the brink of destruction.

However, Chu Liang, being the host of the Dragon Orb, which served as the core of the hidden realm, was tens of thousands of miles away. Though his heart was heavy with worry, he could not do anything. All he could do was hope that the three winged draconic beasts he cared about were safe...

Summoning the bronze throne was never Chu Liang's intention. However, when the Blue Dragon's Orb activated the summon, he couldn’t stop it. But then, this meant that he couldn't reveal this to Liu Xiaoyu.

She had gone through so much effort to open the second floor of Baxia's tomb, only to find this one throne. Imagine how she would react if Chu Liang suddenly appeared and said, “I just airlifted it to my backyard. Hehehe...”

Even though it wasn’t his doing, it would still be very difficult for him to explain.
