As the mystical little tree exhaled a portion of its soul power to nourish his own soul, Mu Jinyu's soul also grew significantly.

If his original soul power was roughly at the Fourth Layer Hedao Realm, then now, his soul power should be around the Fifth Layer Hedao Realm.

"Cultivation rising, soul strengthening... this trip was indeed worth it!"

A radiant smile blossomed on Mu Jinyu's face.

Then, he noticed the Three-Leaf Youlian in his dantian gently swinging its three lotus leaves, seemingly expressing strong dissatisfaction...

"Could it be that you can also devour this mermaid ghost?" Mu Jinyu felt a great surprise witnessing this scene.

And after a brief reflection, Mu Jinyu also realized that the mystical little tree was inclined towards the soul aspect. However, when he only had the mystical little tree in the past, whenever he needed to absorb True Yuan or in other areas, the mystical little tree would also lend a hand.

So even though the Three-Leaf Youlian is inclined towards the physical body and True Yuan aspects, it can actually handle soul-related sacrificial spirits too?

Is it complaining that the mystical little tree stole its fortune?

Unfortunately, the Three-Leaf Youlian couldn't speak and seemed to have no consciousness. Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, it did not respond.

Of course, if both the mystical little tree and the Three-Leaf Youlian had their own consciousness, Mu Jinyu would probably not dare to let them parasitize his body, as that would be too dangerous.

Soon, the Three-Leaf Youlian swayed its lotus leaves a few more times and then went silent, showing no further movement.

Observing this, Mu Jinyu looked at the mystical little tree and the Three-Leaf Youlian a few more times before retracting his inner gaze and looking up towards the Sea God Hall with its wide open door.

Inside the hall with the open door, there were no mermaids anymore, only a stone table with a stone box on it.

"What is this thing..."

Seeing the stone box, Mu Jinyu thought of the original stone box that held the Three-Leaf Youlian.

The materials of both looked very similar.

"The stone boxes storing the seeds of the Three-Leaf Youlian and the mystical little tree were obtained by Wang Mao in the folded space behind Mount Tai. It's unknown how long they've been there, possibly thousands or even tens of thousands of years, maybe even hundreds of thousands. And yet, there's a similar stone box here in the Sea God Palace? Where did this come from?"

Mu Jinyu pondered, uncertainly saying, "Could it be that this Sea God Palace has been dormant underwater for thousands or even tens of thousands of years?"

"But it doesn't seem like that..."

Mu Jinyu shook his head slightly, feeling a bit unbelievable.

Then, he speculated, "Or perhaps a long time ago, the mermaid sea god in the Sea God Palace ventured into a world similar to what's behind Mount Tai and brought out such a stone box?"

"If that's the case, then it's somewhat plausible..."

Mu Jinyu made various speculations, but speculation is just speculation. The facts remain unclear to anyone, so Mu Jinyu finally didn't bother to guess further.

Afterwards, Mu Jinyu cautiously released his divine sense, wanting to check what was inside the stone box.

But the stone box, indeed similar to the one he obtained from the world behind Mount Tai through Wang Mao, couldn't be penetrated by divine sense; he couldn't even detect its presence when his divine sense swept past it.

"Then let's go take a look."

The divine sense couldn't probe it, and Mu Jinyu couldn't really give up on the contents of this stone box. Eventually, he hesitated for a moment before stepping into the hall and walking towards the stone table.

As he entered the hall, Mu Jinyu was worried about unexpected occurrences or the activation of deeply hidden formations.

But none of that happened, which allowed Mu Jinyu to breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, Mu Jinyu approached the stone table, then slowly reached out and touched the stone box on the table.

"Click!"

However, as soon as Mu Jinyu's fingertip touched the stone box, even before he decided whether to open it immediately or prepare any precautions for opening it, unexpectedly, the stone box opened on its own.

"Roar!!"

"Buzz!!"

Accompanied by an uplifting dragon roar, a myriad of golden light burst out from the stone box, illuminating the entire hall with a golden glow.

Not only the entire hall, the dazzling golden light also radiated out to the stone steps outside, the plaza, and then flowed into the sea outside the Sea God Palace.

This made the entire emerald lake turn into a golden expanse.

"Hmm? What's happening?"

"It seemed like a dragon roar just now? Has something happened to the Dragon Master?"

Yu Shenfeng, who was mercilessly slaughtering Rugens, noticed the change in the lake and recalled the dragon roar he heard earlier. He pondered if Mu Jinyu had released his Dragon Soul, thinking Mu Jinyu might be in danger underneath. His expression changed slightly, and without further thought, he dove into the water, heading downwards...

Having cultivated the "Black Emperor Water Emperor Technique," Yu Shenfeng moved swiftly through the water, soon arriving in front of the Sea God Palace.

He didn't hesitate, quickly rushing inside, reaching the plaza, then turning to glance around before noticing the Sea God statue atop the steps and the great hall behind it, subsequently rushing up.

Although Yu Shenfeng knew that if Mu Jinyu was in danger he might not be able to help, Mu Jinyu had saved him multiple times. Despite being a cold-blooded assassin, he couldn't leave without a sense of guilt.

Besides, the danger Mu Jinyu faced might not make him helpless. For instance, if Mu Jinyu were to fight someone and both were seriously injured, he could help Mu Jinyu eliminate the severely injured opponent, allowing Mu Jinyu time to recuperate...

In any case, Yu Shenfeng planned to check things out.

When Yu Shenfeng quickly arrived in front of the hall, he took a peek inside, where the gold light was even more dazzling and bright, forcing his eyes almost shut.

With the sound of dragon roars resonating, he couldn't tell what was happening inside.

"Dragon Master?"

Yu Shenfeng called out cautiously while walking inside with closed eyes.

"I'm fine..."

Mu Jinyu replied, with disbelief and joy in his voice, "I'm fine, there's a great fortune for me here, a true blessing in disguise..."

As he spoke, Mu Jinyu realized that the golden light was too dazzling, so he used "True Dragon Mystic Taoism" to control the dissipation of the golden light.

As the golden light gradually dissipated, Yu Shenfeng finally felt he could see clearly.

Then, he strained to open his eyes, vaguely seeing Mu Jinyu standing in front of a stone table, holding a stone box in his left hand and a sparkling golden bead in his right hand.

Bead?

Yu Shenfeng felt his eyes sting less, and his vision became clearer, allowing him to see a little golden dragon swimming continuously inside the golden bead.

"Dragon? Dragon Ball..."

Seeing the little golden divine dragon inside the bead, Yu Shenfeng was momentarily stunned before he noticed that the bead itself wasn't golden. The golden color was entirely due to the little golden divine dragon inside.

Could this be the legendary Dragon Ball?

Hearing Yu Shenfeng's questioning filled with incredulity, Mu Jinyu replied happily, "Yes, it's a Dragon Ball, containing a Dragon Soul!"

He paused and then, with an excited tone, said, "With this Dragon Ball, the Dragon Soul within me will become a true Dragon Soul!"

The Dragon Soul within Mu Jinyu's body, strictly speaking, wasn't a Dragon Soul but rather condensed from the Dragon Vein Qi of the Kunlun Ruins.

Generally speaking, when the next Hidden Dragon Conference begins, the Dragon Soul condensed from Dragon Vein Qi within the Dragon Head Leader would automatically dissipate.

Moreover, if one leaves the Kunlun Ruins, the Dragon Qi should be reclaimed by the Dragon Vein of the Kunlun Ruins.

For some unknown reason, Mu Jinyu could carry the Dragon Soul away from the Kunlun Ruins and manifest it in Huaxia.

Perhaps it was due to the presence of Kunlun Mountain in Huaxia?

Now, with the acquisition of this Dragon Ball, if he could successfully refine it, even if he later leaves Earth, the Dragon Soul within him might not dissipate as a result.

This was why Mu Jinyu felt tremendously elated and thrilled upon obtaining the Dragon Ball...
