The night was silent.
In the middle of the square of this private training base.
Wang Che sat on the ground. The Myriad Treasures Dao Palace above his head glowed and emitted a mysterious aura.
‘The little caterpillar lay beside Wang Che and watched curiously.
‘What was that?
‘The Magnetic Sword flew around the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace. It was very active.
It seemed to be very curious about everything.
At this moment, it seemed to have reached a critical point.
“Open!” Wang Che shouted.
In an instant, the door to the first floor of the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace opened!
“Roar!”
‘Wang Che vaguely heard a loud dragon roar!
His body shook. He was naturally very familiar with this voice.
It was the voice of the Desolate Ancestor God Rending Dragon.
He looked at the first floor and could vaguely see a blurry dragon shadow flying out of the first floor’s door.
‘Wang Che’s heart palpitated.
The Desolate Ancestor God Rending Dragon was the first demonic beast he had raised.
At first, it was just an abandoned spotted green dragon.
In the cultivation world, there were many dragons with different grades and huge differences.
Its species potential was actually very low. When it was born, there were many fetal spots on its body. The dragons thought that its bloodline was too low and also affected the overall appearance and prestige of the dragon race. In fact, that was the case. Then, it was abandoned.
Later on, when Wang Che was cultivating in seclusion at a certain beach, this guy secretly observed and wanted to steal Wang Che’s medicinal pills.
However, when Wang Che was in seclusion, he had swords guarding him and various illusion arrays.
The medicinal pill was caught before it entered the stomach.
Later, it experienced a few obstacles and became Wang Che’s follower. It also experienced tens of thousands of years and countless dangers.
Its bloodline continued to evolve and its strength gradually increased. In the end, it became a powerful existence that could look down on countless dragons.
Because it was the first to follow Wang Che, they had a deep relationship.
‘When Wang Che lived in seclusion on Earth, this guy also transformed into various dragons and left behind a bunch of strange legends.
At this moment, as the first level gradually materialized and became clearer, the door opened.
The illusory dragon shadow flew out like a cool breeze, its form blurry.
However, Wang Che could recognize it at a glance.
‘The dragon shadow did not have any intelligence. It wrapped around Wang Che and subconsciously flew.
‘The Magnetic Sword on the side thought that it was real and immediately chased after the dragon shadow. After chasing and passing through the dragon shadow, it discovered that it was fake.
It was stunned for a moment.
(owo’)
Then, it stopped and began to think about its sword life.
‘Wang Che was silent.
‘The Myriad Treasures Dao Palace was only a martial soul after all.
Since it was not real, it was impossible for the true Desolate Ancestor God Rending Dragon to appear on the first level.
It was not even a remnant soul, so it had no consciousness.
Under that heavenly tribulation, even Wang Che only had a remnant soul left. He did not know how long it had been before he was reincarnated into this world.
‘The Myriad Treasures Dao Palace had shattered completely at that time, so it was naturally impossible for the divine beasts Wang Che had nurtured to still be alive.
‘The dragon image of the Desolate Ancestor God Rending Dragon was only a manifestation of the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace’s will. This was related to Wang Che’s own memories.
“The Myriad Treasures Dao Palace is not an ordinary martial soul. The use it has in the form of a martial soul is vastly inferior to the true Myriad Treasures Dao Palace…”
‘Wang Che pondered and said, “Not to mention the specific situation in the first level, what use is this dragon shadow of my Desolate Worm?”
Desolate Worm was the nickname of the Desolate Ancestor God Rending Dragon.
When it followed Wang Che, it was like a shadow that followed him for thousands of years.
Later on, Wang Che gave it this nickname.
‘Wang Che suddenly looked at the little caterpillar.
‘The little caterpillar was currently sizing up the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace martial soul.
After the first materialization, it looked very dazzling.
The caterpillar had never seen such a beautiful building.
Now that it was suddenly stared at by Wang Che, it subconsciously straightened its body.
“Sss?”
“Go.”
‘Wang Che suddenly pointed at the little caterpillar. The Myriad Treasures Dao Palace stirred as the dragon shadow flew towards the little caterpillar.
The green caterpillar was shocked.
This dragon shadow had a powerful aura that made it a little afraid.
Its head and body swayed as it subconsciously dodged the dragon shadow.
“Ssss!”
‘Hey, you can’t touch me!”
The green caterpillar swayed from side to side.
‘Wang Che took the opportunity to reach out and grab the green caterpillar’s tail.
‘The dragon shadow immediately crashed into the green caterpillar.
At the next moment, the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace trembled as the dark yellow soul ring around Wang Che lit up.
It was as if something had been activated.
“The first soul ring of the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace was provided by the little caterpillar which also opened the first level. This dragon shadow is related to the little caterpillar. Logically speaking… Perhaps it can bring about some changes?”
‘Wang Che watched intently.
In the current evolution of soul pets, age was the foundation.
After the complete evolution of the third stage, there was also the martial soul mutation evolution.
Ancient soul beasts could evolve by devouring human martial souls.
After modern soul pets provided soul rings for human martial souls, they became closely related to them.
They could also evolve with the martial soul.
However, this possibility had many variables and the direction of evolution was very strange.
However, it was undeniable that the martial soul mutation evolution was the final life evolution of a soul pet.
This evolution had a complicated path and a long process.
However, once a soul pet could evolve through the martial soul, it would step into a new world.
‘Wang Che thought to himself, ‘Come, green caterpillar, I don’t need you to evolve. Just transform for me!”
‘When the dragon shadow hit the green caterpillar, immediately, the green caterpillar’s body shook!
Inan instant, an extremely faint dragon phantom appeared on its body.
On the surface of its body, there were faint bright patterns and its size had not changed.
However, its aura instantly became much stronger!
Its strength rose at a visible rate and became a True Green Caterpillar!
“It didn’t transform into a dragon, but it also entered a special state… It vaguely has the power of a dragon…”
‘Wang Che’s eyes lit up.
“Ssss!”
The green caterpillar felt that it was very strong now, but it did not know how strong it was.
It felt that it was invincible and that no one could beat it.
At the same time, Wang Che felt the Hundred Refinements soul power in his body begin to dissipate.
Clearly, entering this state consumed a lot of energy.
“Use Insect Voice now.” Wang Che ordered.
The green caterpillar nodded, feeling extremely arrogant!
It opened its mouth and used the Insect Voice soul skill.
Inan instant!
“Roar! Roar!”
A terrifying sound wave suddenly exploded with the green caterpillar as the center!
Originally combined with the Heavenly Dipper Lion Roar, the already powerful Insect Voice exploded with power!
Its power had increased by at least a level!
There was even a hint of a dragon’s roar in the sound!
‘The Magnetic Sword was shocked!
‘The caterpillar had changed!
It was actually a little scary!
‘The Magnetic Sword flew over and shouted excitedly, ‘Greetings, Big Brother!”
“This power… even that 2,000-year-old Rain Demon Butterfly can be stunned for a long time!”
‘Wang Che immediately guessed.
As expected, the green caterpillar was much stronger in this state!
“This should be the opportunity for the soul pet’s martial soul evolution. The initial transformation can already bring such a huge change to the soul pet in all aspects… if it slowly cultivates and complements it with various materials, even if the little caterpillar can’t evolve into a dragon, by entering this
state, it can still greatly increase its strength.”
‘The little caterpillar was a little caterpillar.
The Desolate Worm was the Desolate Worm. This dragon shadow was only an illusion formed by the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace according to Wang Che’s memories when absorbing soul power. The Desolate Ancestor God Rending Dragon did not have intelligence or consciousness, and it was more like a
special mental energy.
After fusing with the little caterpillar, it would transform.
Even if it could evolve into a dragon later on, it would not evolve into the original Desolate Ancestor God Rending Dragon. Instead, it would evolve according to the little caterpillar’s own experience and Wang Che’s nurturing to become its own life form.
“Use Rumbling Tail Strike! Slam the ground!” Wang Che ordered again.
At this moment, a faint dragon-shaped phantom was coiled around the green caterpillar. It was not big.
It looked very handsome.
The green caterpillar swung its tail, and the dragon-shaped phantom on its body also swung and hit the ground.
The ground shook and the range quickly spread. The power was much stronger than the Rumbling Tail Strike!
“Without using the Martial Soul Armament, just this Rumbling Tail Strike alone is on par with the Mountain Bamboo Bear’s full strength. Moreover, it also has the effect of Rending… Not only has the power of the soul skill increased, but it also has an additional effect, although it’s not obvious…”
‘Wang Che nodded.
He was very satisfied with the green caterpillar’s current state.
It was indeed a true caterpillar.
However, the consumption was also huge.
In just a short while, Wang Che had used up two wisps of his Hundred Refinements soul power.
Two Hundred Refinements soul power could be used to do many things.
‘Wang Che retracted his palm.
‘The dragon shadow flew out of the green caterpillar’s body and returned to the first level of the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace.
‘Without the dragon shadow, the bright patterns on the green caterpillar’s body immediately disappeared, as did the dragon-shaped phantom on its body.
“Hiss!”
The green caterpillar was stunned. It ran to Wang Che and immediately shouted!
‘I want to continue a little longer!”
‘It’s too awesome!’
The true caterpillar state just now made the green caterpillar very confident. The feeling of being invincible was something it had never experienced before.
After it changed back, the Magnetic Sword also returned to its senses and looked at the green caterpillar in surprise.
It turned around and flew to the side.
“This Big Brother is fake, I don’t recognize him!”
“No, no.” Wang Che shook his head and said, “It’s just an experience.”
His soul power would be emptied in a short while. It was impossible to maintain.
It was not a real battle anyway. Wang Che basically understood the effects by now.
It was a temporary experience for the caterpillar.
‘The green caterpillar was very dissatisfied. It had only experienced it for less than a minute.
But it was still very excited!
For a moment, it was filled with hope for the future!
“Oh right, where’s my soul skill?” Wang Che pondered.
“When a soul ring is attached to a martial soul, it will create a powerful soul skill according to the soul pet’s own soul skills and martial soul form.”
If the Myriad Treasures Dao Palace was classified according to the martial soul form of this world, it was an extremely rare construction-type martial soul.
Construction-type martial souls had many uses.
For example, some people’s martial souls were farm houses.
After the martial soul materialization, fields would appear in the farm house. It was equivalent to a small space that could quickly grow various crops and so on.
Some martial souls were simple wooden houses.
After exploring the wilderness, they could directly enter the small wooden house to rest. It also had different effects, such as recovery, concealment, defense, and so on. Many people could also rest inside.
It was very valuable.
The more complicated a building was, the stronger the effect.
If it was a strange monument, it would be even rarer and stronger.
This was because historical buildings carried powerful civilization foundations. As a martial soul, it could shock heaven and earth, kill the enemy, and even suppress providence.
However, such miraculous construction-type martial souls were very rare in history.
Most of them were residential buildings that could allow people to cultivate and rest. They were support-type martial souls.
Basically, as long as one had a martial soul with a complete construction structure, it involved the power of space. Even if the grade was low, the effect was definitely not small..
