Chapter 112: Shocking the Ring Spirit, Grand Yi Soul Forming Flower

Just at this moment!

The High Grade Sacred-tier Soul Nourishing Medicinal Pill gifted by Zhou Chen suddenly began to emit a faint light inside the ring.

Above the crater, space twisted slightly, and a figure dressed in green robes suddenly appeared.

It was none other than Zhou Chen!

His gaze was sharp, and with a sweep of his Divine Sense, he instantly locked onto the Soul Power fluctuations within the magma below.

"Found you!"

Zhou Chen gripped his palm in the air, and the majestic Spiritual Qi within his body erupted with a roar.

"Open."

The magma pool was parted as if by an invisible giant hand, and an ancient-looking ring was snatched out of the air by Zhou Chen.

A wisp of pure life essence was channeled by Zhou Chen into the Ring Spirit's remnant Soul, forcibly protecting the very last bit of the Soul body's Origin.

"Zhou Chen… is it you?!"

As the faint light flickered, the Ring Spirit's phantom slowly condensed. When he saw who it was, his eyes were filled with shock.

"Senior, we meet again. I was worried that you might be in danger, so I added a little mark to this Medicinal Pill. You wouldn't mind, would you?"

The corners of Zhou Chen's mouth curled up slightly.

Even though he knew the other party had his own plans, at this moment, the Ring Spirit looked at the composed Zhou Chen, his heart in turmoil.

"Little friend… why bother? This old man is already a useless remnant Soul, merely lingering on…"

"Useless?"

Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow and looked directly at the Ring Spirit.

"As the saying goes, having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. Senior, you are knowledgeable, rich in Cultivate experience, and furthermore, you are loyal and righteous. Instead of assisting that fool who is blinded by hatred, why not become my Dao Protector?"

"Dao Protector?" The Ring Spirit gave a bitter smile, his eyes filled with even more self-mockery.

"Meeting the wrong person is not your fault, Senior. It is Ye Chen who lacks the fortune and ability to carry your expectations, and is even less worthy of your dedication."

Although Zhou Chen's words were straightforward, they were very sincere.

"A good bird chooses the tree to nest in; your path, Senior, is far from over. My previous promise remains valid. I will provide the best Soul Jade to help you recover your Soul body. The Holy Land's treasured 《Spirit Nourishing Record》 and 《Nine Nether Soul Cultivation Method》 can both be lent to you for study. Helping you reshape your Physical Body in the future is not an extravagant hope! Don't you want to see, Senior, just what kind of heights you could reach if you follow me?"

Zhou Chen's voice carried a strong infectious power, and the aura of his Green Lotus Dao Foundation and chaos dao infant was displayed without reservation.

Hum!

Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured into Zhou Chen's body continuously.

"This is… the legendary tenth-tier Dao Foundation, and… the chaos dao infant?!!"

The sight before him made the Soul body unable to help but be horrified; even ten thousand years ago, he had never seen such a Genius!

Finally, the Soul body remained silent for several breaths.

"This old man… is willing to go with you. But there is one thing I must state first."

The Ring Spirit slowly raised his head, his gaze becoming incredibly complex.

"Please feel free to speak, Senior."

Zhou Chen responded indifferently.

"If one day in the future you meet Ye Chen again, this old man does not ask you to spare him, only that you grant him a quick death!"

The aged voice carried an indescribable weariness.

"Very well! I promise you, Senior! If Ye Chen dies at my hands one day, I will grant him a quick death and will never deliberately torture or humiliate him!"

Zhou Chen's eyes flickered, and he immediately nodded decisively with a calm expression. To Zhou Chen, Ye Chen, having lost his Golden Finger, was not worth mentioning.

"Good! Straightforward! My name is Xuanhuo. I hereby swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao: in this life, I will be Zhou Chen's Dao Protector. Should I deviate from this, may the heavens and earth destroy me!"

The Ring Spirit did not hesitate in the slightest and directly swore the oath to the Heavenly Dao.

Rumble!

At this moment, a thunderclap sounded in the sky, as if acknowledging this Heavenly Dao oath.

This meant that if the Ring Spirit betrayed Zhou Chen in the future, Heavenly Punishment would instantly strike down until he experienced Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Subsequently, the Soul body submerged into the ring, which flew onto Zhou Chen's ring finger.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for intercepting the Opportunity of the Child of Destiny Ye Chen [Xuanhuo Emperor Ring Spirit (Remnant Soul)], triggering a ten-thousand-fold return, rewarding the Imperial Rank Top-Grade Grand Yi Soul Forming Flower! Do you wish to claim it immediately?"

Hiss!

"Do not claim yet."

Zhou Chen gasped; it was actually an Imperial Rank Top-Grade treasure!

If it were before, Zhou Chen would have had to spend a lot of time consulting classics to know what the Grand Yi Soul Forming Flower was for, but now, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

"Old Xuan, I will call you that from now on. I happen to want to ask you now if you know of the Grand Yi Soul Forming Flower and what its purpose is."

Zhou Chen silently thought towards the ring in his hand using his Divine Sense.

"The Grand Yi Soul Forming Flower is an Imperial Rank Top-Grade spiritual item. Its growth conditions are extremely harsh, and it has long been extinct throughout the Tianxuan Continent. It is the core Material for reshaping a Physical Body. When used in conjunction with Soul Nourishing Wood and some other Soul-nourishing Materials, it can allow a damaged Soul body to reshape its Physical Body within three years, and there is even hope of breaking through the Bottleneck of one's cultivation during their lifetime. Little friend, how did you know about it?"

Although the Ring Spirit was very surprised, he still patiently explained it to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen ignored the Ring Spirit's shock.

With a thought, the two instantly disappeared from where they were.

"This is a portable Secret Realm?!"

The scene before him made the Ring Spirit's pupils shrink violently.

The space within the Guiyi Secret Realm was rich in Spiritual Qi and the Law was stable; it was definitely no ordinary object!

Just how many trump cards does this kid have? The Ring Spirit was completely speechless.

"System, claim."

Hum!

The Void Realm rippled, and a strange spiritual flower appeared out of thin air.

Its stem flowed with seven-colored light, and its petals were translucent like jade, emitting an aura that made the Soul tremble.

"This is the… Grand Yi Soul Forming Flower?!"

The Ring Spirit's Soul body fluctuated violently, shocked once again. The already weak Soul body seemed as if it might dissipate on the spot, his mind blank.

"Sen… Senior," Zhou Chen scratched his head, his voice carrying a hint of probing.

"This thing, take a look… can you use it?"

The Ring Spirit suddenly turned to Zhou Chen, his gaze burning as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

"Can I use it?! Kid, listen to yourself, is that human language? Imperial Rank Top-Grade Grand Yi Soul Forming Flower! It's hard to find in all of eternity! The last time it appeared was one hundred thousand years ago, and you're asking me if I can use it?!"

This was more than just being able to use it; this was an immense Opportunity.

At this moment, the Ring Spirit just wanted to shed tears silently, looking at Zhou Chen with resentment.

If Zhou Chen had brought out such a good thing earlier, why would he have hesitated?

According to his previous plan, following Ye Chen, whether he could grow and whether he could reshape his Physical Body was still an unknown, and just the time required would be at least several hundred years.

Now that Zhou Chen had just casually brought it out, and it was the most perfect plan for reshaping a Physical Body, how could the Ring Spirit remain calm?

"That's good, Senior, hurry up and…"

Zhou Chen felt a bit creeped out by being stared at.

However, the Ring Spirit did not wait for him to finish; his illusory hands pressed impatiently towards the Grand Yi Soul Forming Flower.

The seven-colored light on it was like a living thing, instantly pouring into the Ring Spirit's Soul body.

Hum—!

The Ring Spirit's Soul body erupted with an unprecedentedly intense light.

The originally dim phantom became solid at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The surging Soul pressure made even Zhou Chen struggle to breathe.

The Spiritual Qi of the entire Guiyi Secret Realm converged towards the Ring Spirit.

It is unknown how long passed before the seven-colored light on the Soul body gradually subsided.

At this moment, the Ring Spirit's Soul body had almost condensed into a solid form; if one didn't look closely, they would think he was a living person.

"It's done!"

The Ring Spirit slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock and disbelief.

"Kid… no, Zhou Chen, thank you!"

He looked at Zhou Chen with an incredibly solemn expression.

Just as Zhou Chen wanted to be polite, the Ring Spirit raised his hand to interrupt him.

"This is a massive favor; you don't need to be polite anymore. The Soul Forming Flower needs three years to reshape the Origin and complete the final transformation to truly reshape the Physical Body."

The Ring Spirit's expression was extremely serious.

"These three years are the most critical period of transformation. Soul Power must be kept absolutely stable; forcibly erupting power will severely disrupt the balance, leading to all previous efforts being wasted!"

"Therefore, this old man only has three chances to act, with power not exceeding the Peak of the Sacred Realm! Remember, unless it is a life-or-death situation, act at most three times! After three times, this old man will not be able to recover smoothly. Each time I act, I will fall into a deep sleep for at least several months…"

The Ring Spirit did not finish, but the implication was self-evident.

"Alright, no problem!"

Zhou Chen nodded without hesitation.

Just kidding, three chances at the Peak of the Sacred Realm, this is simply a super protective talisman! Only a fool wouldn't want it.

Even if Shadow Blade sent someone at the Peak of the Sacred Realm to assassinate him, Zhou Chen would not be afraid.

However, it is still better to try not to exceed three times; after all, Zhou Chen knew how to weigh the pros and cons—a one-time full meal versus regular meals.

Thinking that in three years he would have an extra super fighter, Zhou Chen felt happy inside. Ye Chen really is a good person.

Seeing Zhou Chen agree so decisively, the Ring Spirit's tense expression also relaxed.
