Chapter 1326 Soul Emperor’s Crown

1326 Soul Emperor’s Crown

"Interesting? Don't get any funny ideas, Yuan. This spirit may resemble a human, but it's a monster that will kill anything in its sight." Senior Bai warned him after seeing his expression.

Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't have a death wish."

Sometime later, Senior Bai retrieved a box from his spiritual ring and said, "Anyways, I have something to give you."

"Oh?"

"Remember when you asked me to help you find a soul technique? While I did find someone to give you a soul technique, it doesn't feel right, and I technically didn't give you anything."

Senior Bai offered the box to Yuan and continued, "Thus, I have decided to give you something else. Since you already have a powerful soul technique, this will further strengthen your soul strength. Go ahead and take a look."

Yuan nodded and opened the box, revealing a beautiful and remarkable golden crown.

[Soul Emperor's Crown]

[Grade: Mythic]

[Quality: Peak]

[Mental Strength Requirement: 20,000,000]

[Description: Once worn by the Soul Emperor, who was known to have the strongest soul strength in the Nine Heavens. Significantly increases your soul strength while worn.]

"Give it a try." Senior Bai said.

The moment Yuan wore the crown, he could feel his soul strength skyrocket.

'My soul strength is four times stronger now!' Yuan was greatly shocked by how powerful the Soul Emperor's Crown was.

Anything related to soul strength was incredibly valuable, so one can imagine the worth of a Mythic-grade treasure that could quadruple one's soul strength. However, the mental strength requirement was also ridiculously high.

"It appears that you are much stronger than I anticipated…" Senior Bai suddenly said with a smile on his face.

"What do you mean?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"The Soul Emperor's Crown requires a tremendous amount of mental strength to wield. Normally, only those at peak Spirit Sovereign and above would be able to wield it, yet you can wear it without any problem as a peak Spirit King."

"Is that so…"

Since his stats were still represented as question marks, Yuan had no idea how high they were, but he now knew that they were at least above 20 million, which is around the level of peak Spirit Sovereign.

"Speaking of Spirit King, you're still looking for a method to break through your physique, correct? Lady Xu told me that she may have found something. I'll let her know of your next visit."

"Really?! That's great!" Yuan's eyes sparkled. He's been stuck at Spirit King for far too long. Fortunately, he was still in the Third Heaven, where Spirit King was the limit.

After talking for a little longer, Yuan decided it was time for him to leave,

"I won't take up your time any longer, Senior Bai. Once again, thank you for the Soul Emperor's Crown."

Senior Bai nodded and said, "I wish you the best of luck in the Vanishing Valley and the Shadow Realm. Don't be reckless and stay alive."

After leaving the Myriad of Techniques, Yuan logged off Cultivation Online and gathered everyone for a meeting.

"I have two things to talk about today, The first is that I will be challenging the Stairway to Heaven tomorrow, so the Fourth Heaven will be open soon."

"As for the second, it's more of a warning. I have somehow offended the Ten Great Families and the Legacy Family, so things might get chaotic soon."

"The Ten Great Families? What did you do to offend them?" Wang Ming asked.

Yuan then recalled his fight with the Ten Great Families.

"Those cowardly bastards… Not only did they come after you in a large group, they even have the audacity to threaten you after losing miserably!" Chu Liuxiang slammed the table in anger.

"Even if it's the Ten Great Families, I don't think they can do anything to us while we're inside the Dragon Spiral Mountain," Meifeng said.

And she continued, "In fact, most of the Ten Great Families' main branches are located inside the Dragon Spiral Mountain."

"So they are our neighbors, huh." Yuan was surprised to learn this information.

"Yes, they are all located on the upper level of the mountain."

While Yuan and the others never tried to interact or learn more about their neighbors, Meifeng took it upon herself to investigate the entire mountain and all of its residents.

"If they are residents of Dragon Spiral Mountain, they cannot touch us without angering the Lord, so there's really nothing for us to worry about," Meixiu said.

"Empty threats. Just ignore them." Wang Bingbing casually shrugged.

Yuan nodded, "That's what I plan on doing until they make a move. I have more important things to worry about."

In the end, nobody there gave much thought to the Ten Great Families' threat. Due to Yuan's relationship with the Lord of the Dragon Spiral Mountain, they were essentially untouchable inside the mountain.

Even if the Ten Great Families ignored the Lord and attacked them, they were confident in their own ability to completely crush the Ten Great Families with their current strength.

The following morning, Yuan logged into Cultivation Online and met up with Meixiu and the others.

"Are you all ready?" Yuan asked them.

"Shouldn't we be the ones asking you that? You're the one challenging the Stairway to Heaven." Chu Liuxiang chuckled.

Yuan smiled, "Then let's go."

Just as they started moving, Yuan stopped walking and turned to look at Li Jinxi, "I almost forgot."

"?" Li Jinxi looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Yuan proceeded to retrieve a beautiful black and golden sword from his Dragon Spatial Ring before pushing it towards Li Jinxi.

"What is this…?" Li Jinxi asked him.

"I found it inside the Nameless Emperor's Tomb. It belongs to you."

Li Jinxi tilted her head in a puzzled manner.

"It belongs to me? But I have never seen this sword before."

"It's a long story so I will explain it to you later. Just take it for now."

Li Jinxi didn't say anything else and accepted the sword.

Beyond its elegant exterior, the sword seemed unremarkable, almost as if it were an ordinary weapon. However, the instant Li Jinxi grasped the sword, it awakened with an unfathomable aura, revealing depths that transcended its initial appearance.

"Th-This is?!" Li Jinxi exclaimed with a startled look on her face.
