Chapter 727: Boring Yet Fulfilling Days (1/2)

His dragon bloodline had given him everything, so it was time for him to give back to the dragon clan. At the very least, this was an ideal method to cleanse and cultivate his soul.

With that in mind, Tang Wulin didn't hesitate any longer as he began to dig holes with his golden dragon claws, starting from the edge of the dragon tomb valley.

Even though he couldn't use any soul power, his claws were peerlessly sharp, and using his Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth, he was able to stomp large craters into the ground. At the same time, he made use of his Tang Sect techniques, using his Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track to enhance his speed and agility, his Mysterious Jade Hands to bolster his golden dragon claws, and his Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon to direct soil out of the holes he was digging.

A few hours later, he had dug out a massive hole. He then carefully placed the closest true dragon skeleton into the hole.

It would be much easier to simply push the skeleton into the hole, but in order to maintain its original form, he had to be extremely careful and arrange the bones together in their original configuration.

As such, it took him an entire day to bury the first true dragon skeleton.

For some reason, the grief that Tang Wulin was experiencing abated significantly after burying this skeleton. Even the energy fluctuations emanating from the dragon bones had become a lot more feeble.

After burying the first dragon skeleton, a sense of achievement instantly welled up in his heart. Dragon skeletons littered the ground, stretching as far as the eyes could see, but Tang Wulin was completely determined to see this through to the end.

He had only just buried one of the smaller skeletons, and even that had taken him an entire day, so the larger skeletons would most definitely require a longer time to bury. He couldn't calculate exactly how much time he would need, but he had set his mind to this task, and he was going to complete it no matter how long it would take. This was the same determination that had prompted him to become a Soul Master.

He disregarded all concepts of time as he began to use his Golden Dragon Shocks the Heavens and Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth as a foundation to begin his burial mission. As time passed, Tang Wulin grasped some tricks and techniques that made him more efficient. For example, if he were to plunge his Golden Dragon Spear into the ground before unleashing his Golden Dragon Shakes the Earth, the resulting crater would be larger than if he were to only use his claws. The utilization of his bloodline power when unleashing the attack also became an extremely important factor to consider.

As such, he had unintentionally begun to cultivate the two soul skills that he'd created.

Within the dragon tomb, the powerful dragon-type energy fluctuations were able to draw the natural energies in this small world toward this place.

As a result, Tang Wulin witnessed firsthand just how dragon souls came into existence.

During the seventh day of his burial endeavor, natural energies suddenly surged violently near a massive true dragon skeleton in the distance, following which a dragon soul slowly materialized. The dragon soul took a total of two hours to manifest, and much to Tang Wulin's surprise, it charged toward him without any hesitation as soon as it appeared.

However, before Tang Wulin had a chance to do anything, it transformed into a stream of light that flowed willingly into his body.

Tang Wulin's main concern was that the supply of food he was carrying wouldn't be able to support him until he could bury all of these dragon skeletons. To give all of these skeletons proper burials was a dream of his, but he wasn't prepared to starve to death for his dream. As such, he was going to stop after he'd exhausted his food supply. However, after the dragon soul fused into his body, he discovered that the rich natural energies and true dragon aura imbued within it were much more satiating than any food he could eat.

Just the energy from that one dragon soul alone could ensure that he'd be able to work for an entire day without eating.

Looking around at all of the dragon skeletons in the tomb, Tang Wulin suddenly yelled, ”All of you still possess sentience, right?”

In that instant, he suddenly understood that all of these dragon skeletons had to possess sentient will. Otherwise, why would that dragon soul have directly fused itself into his body? These skeletons wanted to help him, which meant that they also wanted proper burials for themselves. This made Tang Wulin even more determined to see this through to the end.

”If you want me to help bury all of you, then give me some energy every once in a while. Only then will I be able to keep this up. All of you can rest assured because I promise that I won't be leaving until every single one of you has been buried.”

Tang Wulin's words seemed to have triggered a string of faint energy fluctuations within the entire dragon tomb valley, and a hint of elation suddenly emerged from the overwhelming aura of grief. At this moment, all of the bleak white dragon bones seemed to be glowing again.

They're rejoicing because of my actions!
