Whoosh!

A gentle breeze passed by, and a tiny thumb-sized figure floated out from Jiang Chen's forehead—it was Jiang Chen's Divine Soul!

The Divine Soul passed directly through the Qiong Gouyu and entered Chief Judge Xi'er's mind, simultaneously taking the dragon shadow from the Qiong Gouyu!

Both Jiang Chen and Xi'er remained motionless, but in Chief Judge Xi'er's mind, a tremendous storm arose!

As Jiang Chen's Divine Soul entered Chief Judge Xi'er's mind, the dragon shadow suddenly expanded, carrying Jiang Chen's Divine Soul towards Chief Judge Xi'er's soul origin.

Buzz buzz buzz!

After a while, a surge of Soul Power emanated from Jiang Chen's body, merging with the Heaven and Earth Dragon Origin Qi to form the dragon shadow, and once again penetrated Chief Judge Xi'er's mind through the Qiong Gouyu.

Endlessly!

Buzz buzz buzz!

As time passed, sweat slowly appeared on Jiang Chen's forehead, his face growing paler, while Chief Judge Xi'er's aura became increasingly powerful, and that mysterious soul fluctuation grew more prominent!

Buzz!

Suddenly, an overwhelming aura enveloped the entire presidential suite, and Ying Zi in the living room sensed the interior aura, immediately unleashing her aura to isolate the entire suite!

Roar!

It was unclear how long had passed before a dragon's roar sounded from within Jiang Chen.

Whoosh!

The thumb-sized phantom figure emerged from the top of Xi'er's head, its aura very weak, swaying as it slipped back into Jiang Chen's forehead.

Thud!

Jiang Chen's body shook and suddenly collapsed to the ground, falling directly into unconsciousness.

Xi'er's entire body exuded a powerful aura, and it was growing at an astonishing rate!

Roar!

A dragon's roar echoed, but this time, it came from within the Qiong Gouyu.

Hush!

A brilliant white glow appeared, and a phantom dragon shadow that carried the same aura as Jiang Chen's white light emerged from the Qiong Gouyu.

"I never expected, I truly awaited this!"

A voice that seemed to come from ancient times spoke from the dragon shadow's mouth.

The dragon shadow circled once above Jiang Chen, speaking with profound meaning: "Kid, remember, gather the Divine Artifacts, unite the Dragon Soul, and you'll be at your strongest, only then will your Martial Soul be complete!"

With those words, the dragon shadow returned to the Qiong Gouyu.

Hush!

The Qiong Gouyu lit up with white light, floating gently upward and stopping above Jiang Chen's head, a light with a primordial aura shining down, flowing into Jiang Chen's mind.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Gradually, Jiang Chen's aura grew stronger, and when a pure soul aura emerged from Jiang Chen, the light emitted by the Qiong Gouyu stopped.

Pop!

A crisp sound echoed as the Qiong Gouyu fell onto Jiang Chen's head.

Hmm!

A dream-like voice sounded, and Jiang Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"Gather the Divine Artifacts? Unite the Dragon Soul?"

Jiang Chen muttered softly, recalling the words spoken by the dragon shadow while he was unconscious.

Buzz!

An ethereal aura suddenly emanated from Xi'er, breaking through the aura seal set by Ying Zi, but as it broke the seal, the aura instantly retracted into Xi'er's body.

"What the hell!"

Jiang Chen was startled, looking incredulously at Xi'er before him.

Xi'er's entire aura was retracted, and she slowly opened her eyes.

"Chief Judge Xi'er, your, your, your strength..." Jiang Chen stammered, dumbfounded.

Xi'er smiled slightly: "Eighty years! My strength has finally been restored!"

She stood up and bowed deeply to Jiang Chen, gratefully saying, "Mr. Jiang, thank you! Thank you!"

Jiang Chen stood up in a daze, full of disbelief: "Chief Judge Xi'er, you were eighty years ago..."

"Yes!"

Xi'er chuckled softly and nodded: "Because I broke through once eighty years ago, this time regaining my realm doesn't require Auspicious Clouds Nourishing the Body!"

No Auspicious Clouds Nourishing the Body!

This evidence allowed Jiang Chen to accept that the realm Xi'er now displayed was indeed her original realm.

Jiang Chen then felt a surge of joy, but quickly realized something and urgently said, "Chief Judge Xi'er, you should maintain the facade of being in the Early Stage Venerable Realm. Your strength might become a trump card in our future battles!"

Xi'er paused for a moment, instantly understanding, and gently nodded: "Alright!"

The two of them chatted for a while, and Chief Judge Xi'er, along with Mi Jiaro, returned to the Imperial Palace first.

…

"Mr. Jiang, hello!"

The next morning, Jiang Chen, along with Yan Hu and a few others, prepared to attend the Queen's birthday celebration. As soon as they reached the hotel lobby, a burly man stopped them.

"Let me introduce myself, I'm Bi Li, a guard of Mr. Sai Lida, and this is an invitation for you from Mr. Sai Lida!" The man smiled as he handed a red invitation to Jiang Chen.

Glancing at Yan Hu, Spirit You, and Ying Zi behind Jiang Chen, Bi Li smiled lightly and reminded: "This invitation allows you to bring two companions to the celebration; even for Her Majesty's birthday, guests may only bring a maximum of two companions to the banquet!"

Jiang Chen paused slightly; he didn't know there was such a rule.

After some thought, Jiang Chen turned to Spirit You: "Spirit You, stay behind to accompany Old Fang."

Fang Tiancheng believed that attending the Queen's birthday meant there would be no attacks on Jiang Chen, so he discussed with Jiang Chen and decided not to attend.

"Alright!" Spirit You nodded and turned towards the elevator.

"Mr. Jiang, please take care!"

Seeing Jiang Chen send Spirit You back while not sending Ying Zi, Bi Li was secretly pleased, waving the invitation a bit.

"No need!" Jiang Chen replied indifferently, leading Yan Hu and Ying Zi out of the hotel.

Bi Li paused briefly, eyebrows slightly furrowed, muttering quietly: "Could he have already gotten an invitation?"

The entrance of the Y Imperial Palace.

Screech!

A Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the outdoor parking lot beside the entrance, and Jiang Chen, Yan Hu, and Ying Zi got out of the car.

"Mr. Jiang." A call echoed, as a young man ran towards Jiang Chen and his group.

"Scar?" Jiang Chen looked at the young man in surprise.

Ge'er Yan smiled slightly: "Mr. Jiang, Duke Pu Losi wanted to greet you personally, but a mysterious figure suddenly appeared, and Duke Pu Losi personally escorted them inside, asking me to apologize to you!"

"No problem!" Jiang Chen smiled lightly, unconcerned.

"Where are Spirit You and Old Fang?" Ge'er Yan asked curiously, glancing at Yan Hu and Ying Zi.

Jiang Chen replied softly: "Old Fang dislikes such occasions, and when I arrived, someone told me the Queen's birthday only allows a guest to bring two companions, so I left Spirit You to accompany Old Fang!"

Ge'er Yan chuckled softly and said: "Others may only bring two people, but Mr. Jiang, you don't have to follow that rule. Duke Pu Losi specifically instructed the Gatekeeper Knight that you can bring as many people as you wish."

"Forget it, we're already here; no point in having Spirit You come separately. Let's go, inside."

Jiang Chen waved his hand and walked towards the entrance of the Imperial Palace, with Yan Hu and the others following closely behind.
