Chapter 14 Becoming Brothers Under the Emperor's Banner!
The two realms of ice and fire, the rising and setting of the sun, time flows quietly, as silently as water.
As the steam from the spring gently churned, Jiang Li, shirtless, slowly awoke from the lake.
His well-proportioned and slightly supple skin shimmered with delicate textures under the water's glow, and a faint golden sheen shone on its surface, as if it had been reforged, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Having completed the Ice and Fire Refining Body, Jiang Li could clearly feel that in his dantian, the ice and fire power of the two immortal herbs formed a Tai Chi fish pattern similar to the Yin-Yang symbol of ice and fire, endlessly regenerating.
He summoned the Blue Silver King again, and it was clearly visible that the Blue Silver King Martial Soul, which originally only had a faint silver line, was now covered with red and blue patterns.
Jiang Li glanced at Tang San, who was refining his immortal herb, and after finding that there was nothing wrong with his aura, he leaped up and swam downwards into the spring.
...
The remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon King lie dormant ten thousand meters below the Yin Yang Ice and Fire Eyes.
In that lightless abyss, their enormous skeletons not only harbor the soul bones that burst forth when the Dragon King fell, but also retain the enduring and powerful dragon might.
It was precisely because of this dragon's might that the immortal herbs in the Yin Yang Ice and Fire Eyes did not transform into spirits, thus avoiding their evolution into immortal plant-type soul beasts.
For Jiang Li, who had just consumed the immortal herb, this mountain-like pressure turned into a rare help.
He could take this opportunity to refine the medicinal power within his body, allowing the power of the immortal herb to integrate with his body more quickly.
As he continued deeper, Jiang Li soon felt immense pressure, realizing that his current physique and soul power were insufficient to support further exploration.
But return empty-handed?
Jiang Li could not accept this outcome.
He made a clenching motion in the air with his left hand, and a shadow resembling a flagpole appeared in his hand!
"Come on!"
It first appeared as a faint line, then quickly extended at the bottom of the dark spring.
The cool, black-fuming Human Emperor Banner was violently shaking in the water, as if it were howling silently.
Countless blurry human and beast figures flashed and disappeared on the flag, accompanied by a suppressed roar.
The once calm water began to boil, and Jiang Li's eyes flashed with a dark light. He raised his hand and clenched it, and the shadow instantly solidified!
"Hehehehehehehe—"
"It's been a long time since I last summoned you, my old friend!"
As the flag billowed, the silhouettes of ghosts emerged on it, their sobs, wails, and roars blending into a chilling tremor.
It wasn't a sound, but it seemed to strike right into the depths of a living being's soul.
How was Jiang Li able to reach the Soul Saint level at such a young age? It can be said that his second martial soul, the Human Emperor Banner, played a significant role!
Do you understand the value of something refined in an instant?
It can be said that every bit of improvement in his cultivation along the way was thanks to the help of those lucky people.
Are you being mean to me?
Then you have a way to die!
Hehehe, I am magnanimous, so I will punish you by making you reflect inside my Emperor Banner!
The dark purple primordial energy continuously flowed out from the Emperor Banner, enveloping Jiang Li.
In an instant, the pressure that prevented him from going any further seemed to vanish without a trace, and Jiang Li made it to the deeper part of the spring in one go.
...
The deepest part of the Yin Yang Ice and Fire Eyes is a vast and dark space.
There, two giant dragon skeletons, one red and one white, coiled into the shape of a yin-yang symbol, exuding a majestic aura, like ancient deities lying across the world.
Roughly estimated, each keel is a kilometer long.
Their terrifying size alone is enough to imagine the immense size and power of the Ice and Fire Dragon King in his lifetime. Even the Azure Bull Python, known as the Emperor of the Forest, was nothing more than a small snake in front of them.
At the head of the red dragon and the white dragon, a ball of crimson and ice-white light floated, churning endlessly, like an eternally burning torch.
The oppressive aura emanating from them spread along the distinct hot and cold springs, covering the entire Yin Yang Ice and Fire Eyes.
This is the dragon's might that has not completely dissipated even after the death of the Ice and Fire Dragon King.
If Jiang Li hadn't consumed the Eight Star Aniseed Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot, which share the same origin as the Dragon King's essence, and hadn't been empowered by the Human Emperor Banner Martial Soul, he would probably have already been crushed to pieces by the dragon's might.
Through the unique sensing ability of the Human Emperor Banner, Jiang Li discovered that the dragon soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King seemed to be dormant.
Hehehe—
In that case, this extraterrestrial demon will not hold back!
It should be noted that there are no restrictions on the absorption of soul bones, let alone these dragon bones of the Dragon King level!
This item is truly destined for him.
Since he's here today, he's going to eat and take some things with him.
He wanted the dragon bone; when he left, he could mercifully allow the Ice and Fire Dragon King's soul to reside within his Emperor Banner and live a second life.
At this moment, Jiang Li felt that he was really too kind!
In the future, after he becomes a god, the other party can serve as his mount to complete a true resurrection in the realm of gods.
Wow, what a stroke of luck!
With this in mind, Jiang Li began searching for the dragon bones on the two dragon kings on his own.
Before long, he discovered two arm bones that were flashing different lights on the forelimbs of the Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King.
One piece was as blazing as fire, and the other as cold as ice; they were none other than the left arm bone of the Fire Dragon King and the right arm bone of the Ice Dragon King.
Although he really wanted to absorb and refine the two soul bones right away, he knew that now was not the time.
With a wave of the Emperor Banner in his hand, the two special soul bones were enveloped in wisps of black energy and quickly disappeared into Jiang Li's martial soul.
Such a huge commotion naturally awakened the two sleeping dragon souls.
It's important to know that their soul bones contain a large portion of their original essence, which is why they haven't dissipated even after so many years of their demise.
Now that their soul bones have been absorbed by Jiang Li's martial soul, if they still can't wake up, then they really shouldn't wake up at all.
"Where did this little bug come from, daring to target our soul bones!" ×2
The Ice and Fire Dragon King's furious roar was like that of a ferocious beast from ancient times.
"Please do not be impatient, gentlemen. I have come here to offer you two a great opportunity."
The Ice and Fire Dragon Kings stared at each other, clearly not expecting that Jiang Li would not only be unfazed by their dragon might, but also dare to shamelessly offer them a chance.
However, Jiang Li did not give them a chance to speak again.
With a sweep of his Emperor Banner, he absorbed the two enormous dragon souls into his martial soul.
He said that if there were any questions, they could be asked later, and that once they were under his Emperor Banner, they would all be brothers!
Hehehe—
