Chapter 64: First Use of the Supreme Bone, The Birth of the Golden Holy Dragon Martial Soul
After finishing his morning run,
though countless thoughts filled his mind, Lin Yu still followed his routine and went to the Spirit City Junior Soul Master Academy.
He studied in the morning, spent the afternoon in the library,
and only left the academy at dusk.
After dinner in Spirit City, he used the excuse of taking an evening stroll to slip away from the city.
Although Bibi Dong had already departed that morning,
it seemed she had chosen to travel by carriage to maintain secrecy.
So Lin Yu wasn't in a rush.
As long as he used his External Soul Bone: Wind and Thunder Wings, he could easily reach Nuoding City faster than Bibi Dong's group.
On the contrary, if he left too early—
say, in the morning—he might risk being discovered by her.
…
Once outside Spirit City, Lin Yu activated the Water Without a Trace movement technique from the Xuanwu True Technique, swiftly darting through the forest.
Although Bibi Dong had taken Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo with her,
as a transmigrator, Lin Yu knew that multiple Title Douluo—including Qian Daoliu—remained in Spirit City.
For safety's sake,
he had no intention of using the One Qi Begets Three Pure Ones soul skill from the Supreme Bone within city limits.
After traveling for over an hour,
only once the city was far out of sight did Lin Yu stop at a small grassy hill.
"This should be far enough."
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yu finally activated the soul skill attached to the Supreme Bone embedded in his chest: One Qi Begets Three Pure Ones.
Instantly, as he channeled soul power into the Supreme Bone,
a brilliant white glow burst forth from his chest.
The light rapidly condensed in the air, forming strange, arcane runes,
which danced like fireflies and gathered in an orderly pattern around Lin Yu.
Soon, they coalesced into a man-sized cocoon of white light.
Lin Yu could clearly feel
a mysterious life form gradually forming inside—spiritually connected to him.
Though this divine technique from the prehistoric world had been drastically weakened into a soul skill,
creating a clone was still no simple task.
The Supreme Bone, as a naturally evolving treasure from Perfect World, retained its core properties even after becoming a soul bone.
But given Lin Yu's current rank—just a Soul Master—it hadn't even reached the hundred-year mark in age.
And yet, it absorbed over half of Lin Yu's true qi without successfully forming a clone.
After over three minutes of steady soul power infusion and recovery through the Eternal Life Technique,
even Lin Yu, with his rapid regeneration, was sweating. Only at the brink of exhaustion did the clone finally complete.
With a crack, the runes-covered cocoon shattered.
Amid dazzling white light, a figure identical in appearance, size, and dress to Lin Yu stepped out and stood beside him.
They instinctively looked at each other, both sensing the deep spiritual link.
Of course, as the original, Lin Yu held complete control.
"One Qi Begets Three Pure Ones creates clones in the order of Taiqing, Shangqing, and Yuqing. Since you're the first, you'll be Taiqing. Your name is Lin Taiqing."
After a brief moment, Lin Yu named the clone.
"Alright. You return to Spirit City now. It's getting dark, and I need to find a place to begin the fusion with the Golden Holy Dragon Origin and then consume the Dragon Essence to awaken the martial soul."
With that, he dismissed the clone without further discussion.
After all, they could communicate telepathically—there was no need for words.
Nodding, the Taiqing clone activated Water Without a Trace and vanished into a blur,
quickly diving into the forest and racing back toward Spirit City.
…
Once the clone departed, Lin Yu didn't stop.
He resumed his journey through the woods,
searching for a cave where he could safely complete the fusion of the Golden Holy Dragon Origin and consume the Dragon Essence.
After about half an hour of searching, he finally found a suitable cave.
He cleared it out, gathered some firewood, and lit a fire inside.
Then he sat cross-legged on the cave floor to begin the ritual.
"System, start the fusion of the Golden Holy Dragon Origin."
In the glow of the orange flames, Lin Yu gave the command in his mind,
preparing to integrate the martial soul origin he had seized from Yu Xiaogang.
[Ding! Initiating fusion with Golden Holy Dragon Martial Soul Origin!]
As soon as the system responded,
brilliant golden light erupted from Lin Yu's back.
Streams of golden energy surged from the void, flooding into his body.
As the light poured in, Lin Yu felt his entire being immersed in warmth.
Strange, fiery energy coursed deep within him, gathering in his core as if nurturing something profound.
At the same time, he took a deep breath and retrieved the Dragon Essence.
He swallowed it.
Instantly, vast life energy erupted within him, rushing into every cell, tempering his body.
Then came the pain.
An intense agony rose from within, and Lin Yu groaned aloud, face twisted in suffering.
If the fusion of the Golden Holy Dragon Origin was like taking a powerful tonic,
then the Dragon Essence's transformation felt like being thrown into a blazing cauldron.
Excruciating beyond compare!
As his body was forged by the Dragon Essence,
the martial soul origin absorbed that power as well, accelerating its evolution into a true Golden Holy Dragon martial soul.
But as this happened,
some sort of mysterious reaction occurred between the two energies.
During the agonizing transformation, Lin Yu's body began to change.
Golden dragon scales repeatedly formed and vanished on his skin, dragon horns emerged and retracted from his forehead,
and his eyes flickered between human pupils and vertical dragon slits.
Meanwhile, deep in the Star Dou Great Forest—
in a hidden space, a colossal being suddenly stirred.
Its massive eyes, like violet gemstones, snapped open, full of disbelief.
Impossible… she could sense the bloodline of a Golden Dragon?!
But wasn't the Golden Dragon lineage extinct, wiped out long ago by the curses of the gods?
