Seeing the soul essence dragon crystal fruit in Zhu Kun's hand, faintly glowing, even Xiao Xuan couldn't help but be slightly startled.
Although Xiao Xuan was a top powerhouse on the Continent a thousand years ago, he had never seen the miraculous item in Zhu Kun's hand!
Because at this moment, Xiao Xuan could only sense a strange yet warm spiritual essence emanating from it!
"What is this?"
Xiao Xuan frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.
Zhu Kun merely smiled faintly:
"This item is called the soul essence dragon crystal fruit!"
"Legend has it that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the essence blood of a powerhouse who specialized in Soul techniques and achieved the Dao to become an Emperor was used as a seed. After tens of thousands of years, it grew into the Spiritual Essence Tree, and only after tens of thousands more years did it finally bear a fruit like this..."
Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Xiao Xuan's eyes.
After all, according to Zhu Kun, this item was not only a Spirit Treasure from ancient times but also a great Opportunity left behind by a Dou Di!
Zhu Kun paused, then opened his mouth to explain again:
"According to rumor, after the Spiritual Essence Tree bore this soul essence dragon crystal fruit, it immediately perished where it stood..."
"Since then, only this single soul essence dragon crystal fruit has been left in the world!"
"When I traveled the Continent back then, I accidentally obtained this item in the Void Realm..."
"Now that I am trapped here, if the Ancient Emperor Cave cannot reappear in this lifetime, I fear it will be difficult for me to escape..."
"Now that the Void Ancient Dragon Clan has a new Dragon Emperor, my heart is at ease..."
"Since Brother Xiao is willing to righteously lend a hand and assist my Void Ancient Dragon Clan, I, Zhu Kun, should also offer something in return!"
"Although I am the guardian of this Ancient Emperor Cave, I truly have no way to open it..."
"It just so happens that Brother Xiao is currently existing in a Soul state... and I can sense that although Brother Xiao's current strength is formidable, his Soul Origin seems incomplete..."
"I hope this item can help Brother Xiao..."
After Zhu Kun finished speaking, the soul essence dragon crystal fruit, faintly glowing in his palm, slowly floated toward Xiao Xuan.
Seeing this, Xiao Xuan did not immediately accept it, but spoke in a deep voice:
"Brother Zhu, this item is truly too precious..."
"I truly feel unworthy of such a spiritual item that greatly aids Soul Power. Now that the Void Ancient Dragon's new Dragon Emperor has accepted your Dragon Emperor Legacy, her strength has suddenly increased to the Dou Sheng Realm. This item would surely be of greater help to her..."
However, Zhu Kun only smiled slightly upon hearing this:
"No matter, no matter..."
"The Dragon Emperor Bloodline of my Void Ancient Dragon Clan is inherently noble. Relying on the royal Bloodline within her body, she can suppress all Demonic Beasts in the world!"
"Furthermore, if Brother Xiao accepts this spiritual item, wouldn't that be equivalent to forming an alliance between my Void Ancient Dragon and your Xiao Clan?"
In Zhu Kun's view, the Xiao Clan was one of the eight great ancient Dou Di Families. Although they were a human Family, their underlying strength and foundation were extremely formidable!
Taking this Opportunity, he could not only ensure Zi Yan's safe return to Dragon Island to lead the Void Ancient Dragon Clan, but also become friends with the Xiao Clan.
This would also, on a certain level, help Zi Yan solidify her position as the Void Ancient Dragon Dragon Emperor!
It was just a pity that Zhu Kun had been trapped here for ten thousand years and did not know that the Fighting Qi Continent had long since changed drastically!
The Xiao Clan, one of the eight great ancient Dou Di Families, had long been ambushed by the Hun Clan, their Dou Di Bloodline depleted, and their Family fallen into decline.
They were almost untraceable on the Fighting Qi Continent... Xiao Xuan and Xiao Yi smiled awkwardly upon hearing this.
After all, they couldn't just directly tell Zhu Kun that the Xiao Clan had declined and was no longer the Xiao Clan of the past... Zhu Kun spoke again:
"Brother Xiao, please stop declining..."
"Accept this Opportunity. Helping you recover some strength will also ensure my child can safely return to Dragon Island..."
After Zhu Kun finished speaking, Xiao Xuan pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and said in a deep voice:
"Then I thank Brother Zhu very much..."
Zhu Kun smiled faintly, waving his sleeve as he spoke:
"Although this soul essence dragon crystal fruit is said to be an Opportunity left by an ancient Dou Di, its authenticity cannot be verified..."
"However, it is definitely a top-tier treasure for the Soul. I cannot guarantee how much strength Brother Xiao can recover using this item..."
"Why doesn't Brother Xiao refine this Soul Essence Fruit right here? My presence can also prevent any unexpected complications..."
Xiao Xuan nodded.
Xiao Xuan looked down at the Soul Essence Fruit in his palm.
With just a glance, Xiao Xuan could feel a gentle yet massive surge of energy quietly spreading through his Soul body.
That strange aura actually caused Xiao Xuan's powerful, vast, yet dormant Soul Origin to faintly stir.
The next moment, Xiao Xuan slowly consumed the Soul Essence Fruit.
Instantly, the fruit transformed into a scorching torrent that rushed straight toward Xiao Xuan's Soul Origin.
Xiao Xuan immediately focused his mind and circulated his Cultivation Technique. The energy spread from the depths of his Soul toward his entire body.
Wherever it passed, the damaged Soul Origin regained vitality, like a withered tree meeting spring.
Even though Xiao Xuan currently only possessed one-third of his Soul Origin, under the nourishment of that power, the Soul Origin grew stronger and stronger.
A strange Soul Power spread within Xiao Xuan's body, surprisingly repairing Xiao Xuan's incomplete Soul Origin.
The next second, streaks of golden light rose from around Xiao Xuan's body.
The Xiao Clan symbol that appeared on his forehead shimmered with the Spiritual Qi from the fruit, and his previously stagnant Dou Sheng power suddenly surged.
Within a few breaths, Xiao Xuan's eyes snapped open, a flash of golden light quickly disappearing from his gaze.
The aura radiating from his body was several times more powerful than before.
Xiao Xuan raised his hand and clenched his fist, sensing the ceaseless power surging within his body and his increasingly refined Soul.
The next second, an extremely powerful aura erupted from within Xiao Xuan.
The terror of that aura even caused the Small World beneath his feet, which belonged to the Ancient Emperor Cave, to tremble slightly!
A slight smile curved on Xiao Xuan's lips.
"Brother Zhu, it seems this item truly is the Opportunity left by that ancient Dou Di!"
"Although it lacks Source Qi, this spiritual essence is miraculous..."
"Spiritual essence tempers the Soul, strengthening the Origin and cultivating the foundation! This item was actually able to fully restore my Soul Power!"
At this moment, the aura around Xiao Xuan was more vigorous and utterly imposing!
Faintly, he already possessed the true power he held during his lifetime!
At this time, Zhu Kun also sensed the powerful Soul Power radiating from Xiao Xuan!
That was truly the Emperor Realm Soul, such imposing pressure!
It could already be compared with Zhu Kun!
Furthermore, Zhu Kun could clearly sense that the strength of this Xiao Clan Chief had directly soared from around the Six-Star Dou Sheng Realm to the Nine-Star Dou Sheng Realm!
One must know that this was still only a Soul body!
Therefore, Zhu Kun could barely imagine how domineering and formidable Xiao Xuan must have been during his lifetime!
He was also slightly curious as to why such a person had fallen, leaving behind only a Soul... But Zhu Kun was also extremely delighted, as it seemed his decision to give the soul essence dragon crystal fruit to Xiao Xuan was correct!
However, at this moment, Xiao Xuan once again found that familiar feeling from a thousand years ago.
All Xiao Xuan lacked now was a Physical Body. If he could find a Physical Body capable of accommodating his powerful Soul and successfully resurrect,
Xiao Xuan would likely immediately recover his Peak strength, once again becoming a Half-step Dou Di, the number one existence below the Dou Di!
