Douluo Dalu - The Story of Sheng Feilong Chapter 82

A look of disbelief appeared on Sheng Feilong's face as he stared at the doctor . He spaced out for a moment before turning his head to look at his arm again . The little wound from the IV-Drip's needle had completely vanished while the tube was corroded . Moreover, this seemed to happen at his own command; This definitely wasn't something that could be explained by Sheng Feilong's current abilities .

While he still thought about this matter, She Meixiao and the doctor exchanged a look . Both of them understood how Sheng Feilong must feel: Not only was he told that he had suddenly awakened a second Spirit Essence, it was also a dreadfully powerful poisonous one with a corrosive nature . Then there was this strange voice that he had talked about as well . . . Even for them, this wasn't something that could be explained just like that .

She Meixiao lightly nodded to the doctor before he turned towards Sheng Feilong again, still trying her best to remain as calm as possible to not agitate the boy any further . "Sheng Feilong, I know all of this sounds really weird, but there's a quick way to confirm our guess . As you most likely know, every Spirit Essence, Spirit Soul and even Soul Bone will engrave itself into a Soul Master's spiritual consciousness . You just have to enter your own and see for yourself; If you have truly awakened a second Spirit Essence, then you will definitely find it there . "

At her side, the doctor calmly nodded and took a step to the side, looking at a few monitors that stood next to Sheng Feilong's bed . "Madam She is right . If you truly have a second Spirit Essence, entering your own spiritual consciousness will be the fastest way to verify this guess . Well . . . looking at these results here," he points at one of the monitors showing Sheng Feilong's vitals, "There shouldn't be any problem with you for now . We can take off the electrodes and stop monitoring your around the clock . It will also make things easier for you . "

Sheng Feilong listened to the both of them with an unsure expression and remained silent for now, only nodding his head when both of them finished their explanations . He let the doctor help him carefully remove the electrodes while trying to calm down . They were only fixed on him with a sticky substance and came off pretty easily . The doctor then turned off a few of the monitoring devices while She Meixiao stood by the side .

She handed Sheng Feilong a shirt so he didn't have to remain top-less before speaking up with a warm expression again . "The doctor and I will let you alone in a while so you can calm yourself down and enter your spiritual consciousness . There's no need to worry; As long as you're here, nothing will happen to you . " Pausing for a moment, she pointed at a little button at the side of Sheng Feilong's bed . "If you need anything, we'll be nearby, so just use the little button there to call for us . "

After that, She Meixiao and the doctor spoke light farewells before leaving the room . Sheng Feilong sat down on his bed in a cross-legged position while looking down . He took a while to process all of what happened since he awakened and silently closed his eyes, trying to meditate . He was still extremely worried about Song Weihan and his father, but all the talk about a second Spirit Essence really made him nervous and, honestly, somewhat excited .

His breathing calmed down and he quickly entered a meditative state . He was able to feel his own Soul Power circulate through his body for the first time since he woke up and his heart lightly shook . He still didn't know what had happened, but he had somehow advanced to the late stages of the Soul Ancestor level, reaching a Soul Rank of 48! He slowly circulated his Soul Power according to his cultivation technique; the one that Song Weihan had given him years ago, until he got accustomed to his raised Soul Power .

By now, Sheng Feilong had completely calmed down . He stopped circulating his Soul Power and regulated his breathing once more before emerging himself into his own spiritual consciousness . After a moment, he could feel the familiar ground under his feet and slowly opened his eyes . But what he saw before him caused Sheng Feilong to freeze .

The familiar, empty space of his spiritual consciousness had vanished . Instead, there was now a silvery white world in front of him . He could see a clear, white sky above his head, with occasional light grey clouds swarming around, while the familiar ground beneath his feet was now filled with a light green, silvery blanket of lush grass . This silvery world extended as far as Sheng Feilong could see and was totally calm, with only a light breeze giving it a light shake every now and then .

Sheng Feilong quickly snapped out of his initial shock . Still disbelieving and confused of the situation, he absent mindedly began walking through this world . After what felt like an hour of walking in awe, he felt a number of familiar auras in the distance . Sheng Feilong's face brightend when he felt those auras and quickly run in their direction; They were clearly the auras of his Spirit Essence, Spirit Souls and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Artificial Soul Bone!

After a short while of running, he could finally see them, but was once again shocked when he looked at them more closely . The four entities weren't as calm as they used to be, but instead cowered together and staring into the distance, away from Sheng Feilong . The Ancient Hypnotic Toad and the Purple Forest Witch were the closest to Sheng Feilong and were tightly pressing against each other, with the ethereal figure of a human with bright, golden eyes – the silhouette of the Radiant Emperor's Phantasmagoric Eyes – crouching in front of them .

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Artificial Soul Bone was hovering near the Spirit Essence's silhouette with the illusory phantom of a Three-Eyed Golden Lion protectively standing above them in a defensive position, cautiously eyeing the horizon while baring its fangs . Whe he saw all this, Sheng Feilong hastened his steps, quickly running over to them, but they didn't even seem to notice him until he was just a few steps away from them .

The Purple Forest Witch was the first to see him and quickly run over to Sheng Feilong with an expression full of dread, tightly hugging the Ancient Hypnotic Toad in its arms . She quickly hid behind Sheng Feilong, holding on to the hem of his shirt with one hand, while a wave of messages assaulted Sheng Feilong . Both, the Purple Forest Witch and the Ancient Hypnotic Toad, were communicating their thoughts and emotions to him, warning him about a 'dreadful presence' and clearly showing their extreme fear .

Just a moment later, the silhouette of the Radiant Emperor's Phantasmagoric Eyes and run over to him, standing by his side, while the Artificial Soul Bone stood on the other, with the golden lion phantom protectively standing above them again . Sheng Feilong was completely caught off guard by them, trying his best to calm down the intelligent Spirit Souls before he looked into the distance all of them were guarding against .

Near the horizon, Sheng Feilong could see the sky change colour . The pure white sky and shing, grey clouds vanished and a pitch black sky took their place . Ominous and lusterless greyish clouds stretching across the sky . Sheng Feilong was unable to see the ground from this distance, but the sky alone made his heart shake . It looked as if the sky had split apart, ending at exactly that point and making way for another world all together!

In the farthest distance, Sheng Feilong could make out a weak and flickering, greyish, muddy green aura that was pulsating with an incredible might, seemingly to the rhythm of Sheng Feilong's own heart . Sheng Feilong's face somewhat paled in dread as anxiousness squeezed his throat . Despite the incredible distance, the pulsating light made his breathing quicken . He understood his Spirit Essence's, Spirit Soul's and Soul Bone's feelings now; This dreadful presence was incomparably terrifying .

The greyish, muddy green light flickered a bit more violently for a moment, flaring up and causing the whole world to shake lightly . An otherworldly, booming voice once again sounded out in Sheng Feilong's head, while the four entities surrounding him were forced to back of, leaving Sheng Feilong at alone the front .

>You have yet to find what you seek . Come to me . <

Sheng Feilong's whole body shook and cold sweat covered his back . He couldn't be mistaken about this . This was the same voice he had heard after the Doomstinger Dragonfly had attacked him; The same voice that had told him to 'rest'! He clenched his fists, furiously trying to withstand its extreme presence, while screaming into the direction the voice came from . "Who are you?! What do you want from me?!"

The intense, dreadful presence that seemed to cover the whole world vanished the instant Sheng Feilong screamed out . But just a moment later, the greyish, muddy green light flickered again, causing the whole world to shake, while the same otherworldly voice boomed in Sheng Feilong's head again .

>I am what you crave for most . Surmount the bottomless cliff that separates these worlds . Come to me . <
