Chapter 10: Back to Nuoding City
After waking up, I inspected the Supreme Alchemy Garden, also known as the Dragon Soul Land. This miraculous garden spans over 10,000 km and is governed by a single ruler, a being named Long Caiyun. Of course, I gave her this name—she is none other than the Nine-Shade-Haired woman who wants to be my wife.
Aside from her, there are many other creatures that have lived here for millions of years, but Long Caiyun is the absolute monarch of this world. This flat world, unlike Earth's spherical nature, is over 100,000 km in size and is divided into three regions: the Core, the Inner area, and the Outer area.
Outer Area: Beasts with lifespans of up to 500,000 years reside here.
Inner Area: This region houses beasts that have lived for up to 999,999 years.
Core Area: The heart of the world, where the Dragon Soul resides. Only ten beasts live here alongside their Monarch, Long Caiyun. While I haven't met these ten beasts yet, I've learned that they are ranked by strength.
The ranking of these beasts is as follows:
Divine Earth Elephant – The strongest beast in the Core, after Long Caiyun.
Black Divine Lion
Holy Imperial Phoenix
Jade Dragon Puppet
Black Abyss Leviathan
Soul Devouring Python
Golden Sun Crow
Obsidian Panther
Tyrant Ox
Divine Sea King
Each of these beasts has its unique abilities and commands immense power. The Core Area is undoubtedly the most dangerous part of the Dragon Soul Land, but with Long Caiyun as the ruler, order is maintained. This world is truly remarkable, and its intricate hierarchy reflects the vastness of the Dragon God's legacy.
Not to mention all these beasts kings are over Million years old just like Long Caiyun, though unlike Caiyun who commands all elements they have two elements each.
Each of these ten beast kings and monarch Caiyun also have their own kingdom with Caiyun Eternal Rose Kingdom act as police in this world.
As for me right now, I am going to outer area to hunt or my first Spirit rings, It will be 100,000 year Spirit ring, as for how I will get it, it will be through sacrifice, According to Caiyun she has many subordinates that will sacrifice for me, but I don't want an Sacrifice but rather an Soul Spirit.
Advantage of Soul Spirit is many times greater then a Spirit ring as in Soul Spirit they can evolve the Spirit ring too.
As for whether I can absorb a spirit ring or not—hehe—thanks to the Dragon Soul infusion, my Spiritual Power has taken a massive leap. Now, I can absorb spirit rings of over a million years, let alone 100,000 years. However, my current physical limit is around 100,000 years, so I'm focusing on absorbing rings near that threshold. Even so, this is absurd compared to most geniuses, who typically absorb 500-year spirit rings, while I'm absorbing rings 200 times stronger.
But well, it's not like I'm here to show off. My goal here is to become stronger, and once I've reached my limit, I'll leave. Though I might already be strong enough, with my current physical capabilities, I could be comparable to Thor from Endgame. Still, the greater the power, the better.
"Emperor, we're here," Caiyun's soft voice pulled me out of my thoughts.
We had arrived in a breathtaking garden.
"This is…?" I asked.
"This is one of the outer territories of my Eternal Rose Kingdom," Caiyun explained. "Since Emperor wishes to absorb a spirit ring for your Origin Rose Martial Spirit, I brought you here."
I nodded as we continued walking until we reached an area where multicolored roses swayed gently in the wind. The sight was so stunning that no one would suspect this was home to countless 100,000-year spirit beasts.
"Emperor, I have chosen the Moon Radiance Rose for you. It will not only grant you powerful ice-type abilities but also light-related skills," she said with a respectful bow.
"Alright. Let the Soul Spirit make a contract with her," I said. Caiyun nodded before gently tapping the Moon Radiance Rose. She bowed to the rose, murmuring something inaudible. As she did, a radiant light enveloped the rose.
After about five minutes, the Moon Radiance Rose seemed to awaken. It turned to face me, bowing gracefully before forming a Soul Spirit Contract with me.
I sat cross-legged as Caiyun stepped back, observing the process from a distance. Slowly but surely, the immense being's essence began to merge with mine. I felt the boundless energy of the Moon Radiance Rose surging into my body, and the transformation began.
Soon, a red-colored spirit ring materialized around me, circling my right hand like a bracelet. It pulsated with immense energy before settling into place.
After some time, I opened my eyes and stretched slightly.
"Hmm, impressive skills," I murmured to myself, summoning my Origin Rose Martial Spirit. As I did, all the roses in the garden bowed toward me, as if paying homage to their ruler.
"Frozen Nova and Moon Frost Explosion," I said, nodding in approval. Both were powerful skills, befitting a 100,000-year spirit beast.
"Emperor, would you like to test them?" Caiyun asked, her voice tinged with anticipation.
I nodded, and with a light touch of her hand on mine, we were teleported to another location.
It was a barren, rocky wasteland with no signs of life or vegetation.
"This is one of the designated arenas where battles are permitted," Caiyun explained. "No one is allowed to fight anywhere else. Beasts of up to 50,000 years of age duel here."
I nodded in understanding. She then waved her hand, and several earthen dummies rose from the ground, lining the barren land in front of me.
"Please, Emperor," she gestured, stepping back to give me space.
Despite her polite demeanor, she exuded a commanding aura, more like a warlord than the elegant monarch she appeared to be. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts, I focused on the task at hand.
Raising my right hand, I activated Frozen Nova. In an instant, a light blue beam of energy erupted from my palm, resembling a Kamehameha. The beam tore through everything in its path, pulverizing the ground and creating a long, deep trench in front of me. As if that wasn't enough, the surrounding 100-meter area was fully encased in ice, radiating an overwhelming chill.
"Damn," I muttered, impressed. "This feels more like an advanced skill of a Spirit King than a Spirit Master like me."
Next, I tested Moon Frost Explosion. With a flick of my hand, a glowing orb of frost formed above my palm. It hovered briefly before bursting into shards, creating an icy bomb that detonated with terrifying force. The explosion covered a 100-meter radius in a layer of solid ice.
The power was overwhelming, and the destructive beauty left me speechless.
"Hmm, it seems if I tried to battle any one it would be more like bullying" I mumbled seeing the power.
