Chapter 110: 86 Soul Visualization Method (4000 words, please subscribe)

In recent times, Le Cheng was indeed leading a comfortable life, as his status as a Divine Envoy gave him almost unfettered access to the Royal Court. So every night, he would quietly slip into the Queen’s bedchamber and diligently till the farmland.

And as the sun rose, having been busy throughout the night, he could finally enjoy a moment of leisure. Sometimes he would tease Caster and Guinevere, or when bored, visit the divine hall in the Imperial Capital for a tour, and by the way, be an annoying supervisor. However, the place he visited most was the Empire’s library. Following Morgan’s hints, he examined all sorts of ancient texts and documents.

Although the world was undergoing erosion from the Catastrophe Legion, and it started two hundred years ago, it has managed to survive until now. Whether it was the level of civilization or combat power, there were certainly commendable aspects. At least for him at this stage, there were not a few things that could enhance his combat abilities, among which was a Spell called Rising Dragon Transformation that particularly caught his attention.

This Spell originated in the era when the Demon Dragon brought about the apocalypse. At that time, the Black Demon Dragon, an invincible Dark King, attempted to overturn the whole world, which even led to dissatisfaction within the Dragon Clan. But the Black Demon Dragon was too powerful, constantly eliminating dissent and suppressing opposition. Under such bloody and brutal rule, it eventually forced some dragons to become turncoats. They not only defected to the human coalition but even disclosed some Dragon Clan Secret Techniques.

The so-called Rising Dragon Transformation is realized by soul visualization, molding one’s soul into the form of a dragon, and thereby temporarily transforming one’s appearance into a dragon, to significantly enhance individual combat power.

In the war years, one of the key reasons the human coalition could completely vanquish the Dark King leading the Dragon Clan was the Rising Dragon Transformation. It truly and substantially increased the overall combat capabilities of the human coalition, especially in aerial combat, so as not to be at an absolute disadvantage.

It’s just a pity that the secret technique of the Rising Dragon Transformation has been completely lost... To be precise, not lost, because the technique is still there, it just cannot be used.

Because mastering the Rising Dragon Transformation requires first visualizing the souls of the Dragon Clan. During the war, some dragons defected to the humans, so there was no shortage of subjects for visualization. But now, when the Dragon Clan has been fully extinct, where could one go to visualize the soul of a dragon?

In fact, since the death of the last Red Dragon five hundred years ago, the only one who mastered the Rising Dragon Transformation in nearly five hundred years was Sigma.

His visualization was of the soul of that Red Dragon. But since it was only a dead spirit, even a fragment of one, the Rising Dragon Transformation Sigma mastered was merely an incomplete form. He could not fully transform into a dragon but could only make parts of his body possess dragon-like properties, such as being impervious to blades and fire, or even absolute immunity to physical and magical attacks. Yet with just this, he had already been the strongest in these five hundred years, with no one able to surpass him.

If a half-dragon Sigma was already the strongest in the world, what about those who had mastered the complete form of the Rising Dragon Transformation?

It is not difficult to see, therefore, how great an impact the war sparked by the Dark King had on this world. The discontinuation and loss of countless inheritances and secret techniques have caused the overall combat power of the world to decline.

If time were to be rolled back to the era of the Black Demon Dragon, Le Cheng believed that even if the world was invaded by the Catastrophe Legion, they would not be at much of an advantage.

And the most regrettable thing is that five hundred years later, today, the soul of that Red Dragon had already completely dissipated.

"Logically, with the Dragon Clan having completely disappeared, the secret technique of the Rising Dragon Transformation should be completely useless now, but Morgan seems to think otherwise. Could there be some hidden secret to it? Or could it be that Lancelot is truly a descendant of the Dragon Clan?"

Le Cheng muttered to himself as he read the content of the book.

At present, the significance of the Rising Dragon Transformation technique is more commemorative than educational, honoring the great Emperor Sigma. Therefore, in the Empire’s library, it is considered a collectible, and even Le Cheng, as a Divine Envoy, does not have the right to browse it at will.

He was able to see the Rising Dragon Transformation largely because Morgan granted him special access.

This made Le Cheng somewhat curious.

"It seems that I really should find an opportunity to have a good talk with Lancelot."

Muttering to himself, Le Cheng closed the book and handed it back to the librarian, then headed towards the exit of the library.

"Brother Gai, you’re leaving already?"

Edward shouted at him from not far away.

"Yes."

Le Cheng responded and left without looking back.

These old gamers, serving as Caster’s guards, did not originally have clearance to enter the Empire’s library with their current levels. But thanks to Le Cheng’s favor, they could linger in the library for three hours every day, and they were overjoyed and cherished this opportunity enormously.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was already Le Cheng and his companions’ eighth day in the Imperial Capital, and this day was also the beginning of the King Selection Ceremony.

The Imperial Mausoleum.

This was a large cemetery set up on the northern side of the Imperial Capital. Normally guarded by the Emperor’s Forbidden Army, any citizen of the Empire, whether commoner or noble, could easily enter the cemetery to pay tribute or reminisce to the deceased within, because those buried in this cemetery were heroes who died in the fight against the Catastrophe Legion, including commoners, Knights, nobles, princes and princesses, and even an Emperor.
