Chapter 550 The soul is incredibly powerful; this trip has yielded abundant rewards.
Jiang Chen, who was undergoing the baptism of the Enchanted Blue Flame, was surprised to hear Shi Ling's exclamation.
Although Shi Ling often appears somewhat eccentric, he is undoubtedly a soul from a distant era, possessing a wealth of knowledge and experience unmatched by this era.
From Shi Ling's words, Jiang Chen could sense the glory and prosperity of the previous era. Although it was not explicitly stated, the contempt and disdain for the present era were as vivid and unmistakable as bold strokes.
At this moment, Shi Ling actually showed surprise at the Domain God Stone, which made Jiang Chen quite curious.
Since obtaining the Domain Stone, he has been continuously infusing it with his killing intent, but he has always been confused about how to truly use it.
However, even without knowing how to use it, Jiang Chen could sense the extraordinary power contained within the Domain Stone. Seeing the Stone Spirit's reaction now, he was even more convinced that this divine stone was no ordinary object.
Shi Ling's face was full of astonishment, "You actually possess a Domain God Stone, that's truly rare."
Jiang Chen was still enjoying the exhilarating experience of the pain and growth brought about by the flames refining his soul. He gritted his teeth and replied, "I obtained this stone by chance. What is its use?"
Shi Ling's expression became even more exaggerated, "You don't even know the function of the Domain God Stone... You've really opened my eyes."
Jiang Chen didn't argue with it, knowing it was pointless to debate with this chatterbox. He quietly waited for Shi Ling to continue explaining.
Sure enough, Shi Ling began to explain at length: "The Domain God Stone may not be of much use to you now, but its value will become apparent once you reach the level of a Transcendent." Just then, the Domain God Stone flew to Jiang Chen's side, and a powerful suction force arose out of nowhere. The Enchanting Blue Flame that was originally burning on Jiang Chen's body was quickly absorbed by the Domain God Stone.
Not content with absorbing all the flames from Jiang Chen's body, the Domain Divine Stone flew towards the Enchanting Blue Flower and plunged into it. It greedily devoured the flames on the flower, and the originally transparent divine stone gradually turned a deep blue, even the black killing intent within it became eerily blue.
The Domain Stone quickly absorbed the flames and then returned to Jiang Chen's body like lightning.
Shi Ling laughed and said, "You're lucky. This Domain God Stone is of superior quality. Even in our time, it was an extremely rare and precious item."
Jiang Chen felt an unprecedented sense of ease within his body, but he couldn't help feeling a little regretful. Although his soul had been strengthened, it could clearly have been even more powerful.
Jiang Chen was somewhat disappointed that the Azure Flame had been stolen by the Domain God Stone. He turned to the Stone Spirit and asked, "What exactly is the Domain God Stone used for?"
Shi Ling chuckled, "It's not very useful to you for now, but after the Domain God Stone absorbs enough Enchanting Blue Flame, it will have unexpected effects. It will continuously strengthen your soul's origin, making your soul stronger and stronger."
"In our time, high-quality Domain God Stones were treasures that countless powerful individuals dreamed of. They were far more precious than Talent God Stones and Skill God Stones."
Jiang Chen pressed further, "Is it better than Talent God Stones and Skill God Stones?"
Shi Ling revealed a hint of disdain, "Talent God Stones are numerous but of limited value. How can they be compared to Domain God Stones? Even Skill God Stones are inferior to Domain God Stones."
"You're incredibly lucky, kid. I'm starting to wonder if you're the chosen one of this era."
"With this Domain God Stone, and the fact that it has absorbed enough Enchanting Blue Flame, your future cultivation path will be much smoother."
Shi Ling launched into another long-winded speech. Although some of the content was repetitive, Jiang Chen listened patiently. He increasingly felt that although Shi Ling was somewhat neurotic, he was indeed a very knowledgeable person.
Regardless, Jiang Chen felt that he had gained a lot.
He learned that the Enchanting Flame released by the Enchanting Flower was a double-edged sword, capable of both destroying and strengthening the soul. His own Domain Stone, after actively absorbing enough flames, was able to activate some of its functions ahead of time, subtly and continuously enhancing his soul.
This kind of enhancement, though slow, will yield far greater benefits in the long run than the short-lived and painful enhancement we are experiencing now.
The flames of the Enchanted Blue Flower had weakened considerably under the influence of the Domain God Stone, but the Stone Spirit indicated that given enough time, it would regain its vitality. The Stone Spirit continued its rambling, seemingly incoherent speech, but Jiang Chen knew that it contained invaluable information.
He expressed his gratitude to Shi Ling, but Shi Ling waved his hand, indicating that it was nothing to worry about, as there were many more precious and rare flowers and plants in the garden.
Shi Ling also mentioned that when the owner of this garden created this instance, he hid many treasures inside.
However, due to Jiang Chen's insufficient strength, he was unable to open those hidden treasure troves.
At this point, Shi Ling suddenly stopped speaking, as if she had something difficult to say. Jiang Chen knew perfectly well what was going on and didn't press the matter.
Just then, a dazzling light suddenly emanated from the garden, and colorful hues flowed through the air. Shi Ling's eyes widened, and she exclaimed excitedly, "You're incredibly lucky!"
Jiang Chen was puzzled, but then he saw a streak of light fly in from afar, leaving a long trail behind it, with countless starlight scattering down. A thought struck him; he immediately recognized it as the light of the Skill Stone. Without hesitation, Jiang Chen leaped into the air. The speed of his soul far surpassed that of his physical body, allowing him to flexibly adjust his position in mid-air. Ultimately, he successfully used his soul body to block the streak of light.
The skill stone within the flowing light directly merged into Jiang Chen's soul. He groaned, feeling a searing pain. But the pain was worthwhile, for he had gained another skill stone.
Shi Ling laughed and said, "Feels good, doesn't it? You've obtained another skill god stone. Only one skill god stone is born every fifty years. I never expected you to encounter one today. What a coincidence!"
"This skill stone was originally hidden deep in the warehouse, and even I had difficulty accessing it. You've really hit the jackpot this time."
Jiang Chen was deeply grateful and sincerely thanked Shi Ling: "Thank you, Senior Shi Ling. If it weren't for your guidance, how could I have obtained such a treasure?"
Although Shi Ling's behavior was somewhat strange, Jiang Chen knew that it was this senior who had given him a great deal of valuable knowledge and opportunities. He always believed that skills and levels could be improved through diligence and hard work, but knowledge was priceless wealth.
Moreover, the Stone Spirit also gifted him the Enchanted Blue Flame and the Skill God Stone, which were extremely precious to him.
Shi Ling waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. I don't like those empty words. If you really want to thank me, come back here after you become a super god and help me open the storeroom left by the master."
Jiang Chen nodded solemnly in agreement: "Yes, Senior Shi Ling. I will definitely return here once I become a Transcendent. However, I am worried that I will not be able to enter this instance then."
Shi Ling laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, nothing can stop the progress of a transcendent being."
Jiang Chen understood, thanked Shi Ling again, and then left the instance.
......
Outside the instance, half a day had passed, and the score on the leaderboard had long since settled at 1000 points, as if everything had been settled.
The crowd began to whisper among themselves: "Why hasn't General Jiang come out yet?"
"Yes, he's been inside for so long, I hope nothing bad has happened to him."
"Don't worry, Jiang Shenjiang is incredibly powerful. He can even kill god-level experts. How could he be in trouble so easily?"
Jiang Chen's fans defended him fiercely, refusing to allow anyone to question their idol in the slightest.
Li Xueru and Lin Cai'er waited quietly, believing that Jiang Chen would definitely return safely.
Just then, a ripple suddenly spread across the dungeon space, and an invisible force swept across the entire area with Jiang Chen's appearance.
Everyone felt a sense of suffocation, as if they were being suppressed by a powerful force.
"Such powerful soul force!" Several god-level experts showed their astonishment, as they could clearly feel the powerful soul fluctuations emanating from Jiang Chen.
"The difference in his soul power before and after he went in is enormous, at least more than twice as strong!"
"Jiang Shen must have had some kind of extraordinary encounter in the dungeon."
"This level of soul power is already comparable to that of us god-level powerhouses!"
Jiang Chen stood outside the instance, his eyes lowered, letting the powerful soul aura slowly recede until it completely disappeared.
He then slowly opened his eyes, a determined light shining within them.
