People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

"baffling!"

The Moon Goddess expressed the shared sentiments of Yan Fei and the High Priest.

Cao Ze was certainly not just bored, especially since he had no idea whether Ehuang was alive or dead.

He appeared to be playing with the dragon soul like a basketball, but in reality, he was using it to his advantage, channeling the limited spiritual energy within his body into the stone sphere.

The only way to enter Loulan, besides going through the underground river from the sand eye, is to use the power of the dragon soul, as Ehuang had previously mentioned.

If he couldn't activate the dragon soul, he would have to find another way.

The stone sphere dragon soul, which had been receiving the spiritual energy transmission from Cao Ze, suddenly emitted a rich white light, bright but not dazzling.

The Moon Goddess was dumbfounded, never expecting that this little thief would actually make a name for himself.

Cao Ze's originally serious face relaxed slightly.

As long as it works!

Cao Ze intensified his efforts, continuously channeling spiritual energy into the stone sphere.

Strangely, although the Dragon Soul Stone Sphere was clearly radiating light and seemed about to burst forth, it always seemed to lack something.

Is it because there isn't enough spiritual energy?

Upon realizing this, Cao Ze summoned the High Priestess Yan Fei and the Moon Goddess.

Reluctantly, the Moon Goddess extended her slender hand and, together with Cao Ze, the High Priest, and her senior sister Yan Fei, transferred spiritual energy into the Dragon Soul Stone Sphere.

But the situation remained the same as before; the stone sphere simply shone brightly, but nothing else changed.

"what happened?"

Unable to contain herself any longer, the Moon Goddess questioned Cao Ze.

She suspected that the boy was deliberately playing a trick on her.

Unfortunately, she had no evidence.

Otherwise, I'd definitely team up with my senior sister to teach Cao Ze a lesson!

Cao Ze ignored his sister-in-law and muttered to himself, "What exactly is missing?"

Just now, the stone sphere dragon soul only received some of my spiritual energy and then shone brightly. Obviously, activating the dragon soul does not require much spiritual energy.

Enraged by Cao Ze's disregard, the Moon Goddess immediately drew her Yin-Yang Sword and slashed at the stone sphere.

"Ding……"

The melodious and crisp metallic vibrato lingered for a long time.

Yan Fei, the two high priestesses, and Cao Ze did not say anything.

To be honest, they also wanted to try drawing their swords.

Furthermore, if the dragon soul is cut in half by a sword, even the Yin-Yang Sword, which is ranked fourth in the sword manual, it can be directly declared that the dragon soul is fake.

Just as Cao Ze was pondering how to bring the dragon soul into the world, the stone sphere that had been emitting light suddenly flew toward the moon goddess.

The Moon Goddess's pretty face changed slightly, but before she could make another move, the stone ball directly hit the Moon Goddess, or more accurately, hit the Moon Goddess's sword-wielding hand.

"what?"

Upon seeing this change, Cao Ze seemed to have realized something.

Ehuang once mentioned that dragon souls not only like spiritual energy, but also often feed on metal.

Is it...

The Yin-Yang Sword in the Moon Goddess's hand was knocked away by the stone ball.

The next moment, the stone ball plopped down on the sword.

Despite being the fourth most famous sword in the sword manual and a sacred object of the Yin-Yang School, the Yin-Yang Sword was still smashed in two by the stone ball.

"My sword!"

The moon goddess screamed, her voice shrill and heart-wrenching!

In the blink of an eye, the Moon Goddess flew into a rage and attacked!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The dazzling dragon's energy, like free banknotes, poured onto the stone sphere, unleashing the moon goddess's anger.

At that moment, it was as if the wind and snow had stopped.

However, to the Moon Goddess's dismay, as a Grandmaster, she was unable to harm the stone sphere even with her full strength, and could only watch helplessly as the stone sphere devoured her sword bit by bit!

Indeed, the once ordinary stone ball seemed to have grown a mouth, and was biting the fragments of the Yin-Yang Sword bit by bit, as if it were eating some kind of delicacy.

"Awoo~"

After consuming the Yin-Yang Sword, the stone ball spun around in place, emitting a howl like a wolf or a dog.

Immediately afterwards, the stone ball whipped up a tornado, carrying the force of wind and snow, and attacked the Moon Goddess.

"Junior Sister!"

Yanfei called out and summoned the phantom of the Golden Crow, which stood in front of the Moon Goddess.

However, the next moment the golden crow phantom was torn into streams of light by the wind carried by the stone ball and disappeared into the vast snowfield.

Enraged, the Moon Goddess let out a long roar and, disregarding her own safety, directly used the secret technique of the Yin-Yang School, fiercely colliding with the stone sphere.

"boom!"

In an instant, only the deafening sound of the collision and the Moon Goddess's shrill screams filled the world!

The moon goddess coughed up blood and looked utterly exhausted.

Cao Ze and the high priest looked at each other in bewilderment.

I've never seen such a powerful stone ball.

"call out!"

The stone ball spun backward in the air and flew straight toward Cao Ze.

Cao Ze wanted to avoid it.

But then we see what happened to the moon goddess.

Faced with the choice between being struck by the stone ball and coughing up blood, and saving the Zhanlu Sword, Cao Ze decisively chose to feed the stone ball the Zhanlu Sword like cat or dog food.

The Zhanlu Sword is no longer of much use to him; its decorative effect outweighs its practical significance. It would be better to let the Dragon Soul devour it than to suffer the same fate as that idiot Ruyue Shen.

"Snap! Snap!"

Cao Ze's Zhanlu Sword, which he once used to attract lightning, was devoured by the Dragon Soul in a few moves.

After consuming two famous swords, the stone ball changed again, slowly transforming into a small golden beast.

"Whoa, whoa..."

The little golden beast rubbed against Cao Ze's cheek and looked at him expectantly.

Cao Ze gave a wry smile.

The sword appraiser Feng Hu Zi only listed a few famous swords in the sword manual.

Not to mention famous swords like the Yin-Yang Sword and the Zhanlu Sword, which are ranked highly.

He secretly rejoiced that he hadn't brought Jing Ni along. Otherwise, the Kunwu Sword in Jing Ni's hands would probably have been in danger as well.

"Is this the Dragon Soul...?"

The high priest stared blankly at the adorable little golden beast before him.

This is completely different from the appearance of the dragon soul recorded in ancient books.

At least the true dragon soul is extremely large, has wings, and is entirely crimson.

Cao Ze nodded firmly.

It was exactly the same as the dragon soul he had seen in the ancient texts.

If there's any difference, it's that the dragon soul in the movie is an initial state of a bronze iron ball, while the dragon soul in front of us is an initial state of a stone ball.

"Chirp chirp~"

When the little Pixiu saw Cao Ze shake his head, it became anxious and ran around on Cao Ze's body.

Cao Ze didn't dare to move an inch, afraid that the little Pixiu would slap him.

Just as Cao Ze was struggling with how to communicate properly with the little Pixiu, the Moon Goddess walked over with a sinister look on her face.

"You destroyed my famous sword and slapped my face!"

The moon goddess gritted her teeth, her eyes practically spitting fire.

Faced with the menacing Moon Goddess, the little Pixiu huddled on Cao Ze's shoulder, trembling like a child who had done something wrong and had been caught by an adult.

This scene left the Moon Goddess speechless.

If it weren't for the redness and swelling on her face, it would be hard to believe that the little thing in front of her had just knocked him away.

Yan Fei glanced at the ground; the Yin Yang Sword was completely reduced to ashes.

The Yin-Yang Sword is a special item for the Yin-Yang School; it is not only a sacred object but also an item symbolizing the position of the leader of the Yin-Yang School.

But now is not the time to dwell on these things.

"Now that the Dragon Soul has been activated, what should we do next?" Yan Fei asked.

Cao Ze took a light breath and then slowly exhaled.

"The High Priest knows everything about the underground river and Loulan. We will choose a secluded place, use the power of the dragon soul to enter, and then make further plans."

The Moon Goddess wiped the blood from her lips and said coldly, "What if the demon god inside has already broken the seal? Wouldn't we be walking into the lion's den?"

Cao Ze held the dragon soul in his arms and took out some gold coins to give it as a snack.

"Don't worry, with this little guy here, even if the Demon God of War has really broken free, we'll still be able to escape."

The Moon Goddess remained noncommittal, but said nothing more.

She also yearned for the legendary powers and the legendary gods.
