All I'm thinking is...get some sleep first.
"Just lie here for a while."
The girl looked around and muttered to herself.
In this loading space, there seems to be no concept of time. It doesn't matter how long you stay there.
Wait until you take a rest and click "Load File" and time will continue to move.
“It’s amazing…”
Lie down, close your eyes, and let your consciousness flow freely.
Only five minutes had passed, but a whole day had already passed.
When he woke up again, Xi Heng had recovered his spirit.
I stretched subconsciously, but it seemed to have no physiological significance or feeling of relaxation.
"In this space, I seem to have no body..."
She shook her head and then looked carefully at the square text on the front.
In the small column on the side, there is a simple attribute column about her:
Name: Zhao Xiheng
Realm: Martial Arts (Martial Arts Master)
Biological age: 21/21
Mental age: 26/1080
Archive chance: 0
Note: When your realm is upgraded, you will get a chance to save the game.
[Before loading the game, you can choose to keep an item you had during your lifetime, and keep your current cultivation level.]
"It's not much different from the last time, and the realm hasn't changed much."
Xiheng Duck sat on the soft ground, with his hands between his legs, staring up.
"Because I used the Sword of Death, the upper limit of my physiological age has indeed been reduced this time... If I hadn't used it, the upper limit should be sixty or eighty years old, right?"
She wasn't sure.
Because before today, she had used the Blood Wave Sword Technique, which also consumed a lot of vital energy, many times.
When Yan Qingshi was killed, a sword of death was also used.
In this life, she might only live to be forty or fifty years old at most...
"If I focus on keeping healthy, maybe I can survive for a few more years..." Xi Heng tilted his head and thought:
"After we have fully researched the effects of the dragon heart, we may be able to increase our lifespan."
After all, by eating the dragon's heart, mortals will have the characteristics of a dragon.
If I could inherit part of the dragon's lifespan, living another 100 or 200 years shouldn't be a problem.
But she also knew that this was difficult to achieve.
Swallowing dragon heart meat obviously has great side effects.
The rejection reaction should be enough to consume the human body completely.
Anyone who eats the dragon's heart may only have a few years left to live.
That was why Yan Qingshi was so eager to lead his army to invade the south, wanting to eat more dragon heart meat and become a real dragon.
"Let's study this aspect slowly later." Xi Heng looked down.
The upper limit of psychological age has increased by thirty-six years.
This was obviously good news, but… her last growth was forty.
"This time, I read the game and searched for immortals, went to war, and ascended the throne to become an emperor. The soul should have been tempered more, but the upper limit was only increased to thirty-six years..."
It is foreseeable that if it is difficult to make a breakthrough in one's own strength level, the growth rate of one's psychological age will only become slower and slower.
The longer field further down contains the same familiar text as always.
"Speaking of which, what are we going to keep this time?"
Before she came to Locking Dragon Well, she had already anticipated that she might need to save the game, so she brought some treasures with her - for example, she asked Chen Fenghuo for a large blue spirit stone that was full of spiritual energy, which she could keep directly without having to go back to the second save file to get Fang Tiande's Blood Spirit Stone.
In addition, the sword she carried was the best sword made by royal craftsmen in the past hundred years.
In the entire Tianzhao Kingdom, there are only a few swords that can compete with this sword.
In addition, there are two dragon heart polyps in the brocade bag on her waist. Although they are not as good as real dragon hearts, they are also rare items.
"You can choose any of these three options, but don't hesitate too much... It's not like you'll only be able to reload the game once."
Xi Heng was about to save the sword when he suddenly remembered that he had just cut off a dragon's head with the Sword of Life-Saving... and he had even reached out and touched it before he died.
Can something that big be stored in the inventory?
She jumped lightly and stood up, imagining the appearance of the dragon head.
The finger touches the reserved column.
In the blink of an eye, a blurry pattern immediately filled the column.
"It's really possible..."
Xi Heng stared carefully at the pattern in the save column, and spotted a strange dragon shape from the blurry blood color.
How did such a big thing fit into the inventory? How should I take it out...
When you pull out a spirit stone from the inventory, you will generally feel a slight resistance.
And if this resistance is related to the weight of the things in the inventory, can you still pull the faucet out?
It should be possible, right?
All kinds of doubts lingered in the girl's mind.
However, it's always a good thing to preserve it... she thought.
Although the dragon head did not have the dragon heart and liver that she wanted most, it contained a large amount of dragon blood, which was said to be able to cure all diseases or alleviate the pain after taking the dragon heart.
The dragon head also contains many materials such as dragon scales, dragon teeth and bones, as well as dragon eyes and dragon brains, which have unknown uses.
"If we have to fight again, just summon this thing and it should be able to crush a lot of people..."
"So I saved it."
After confirming, Xi Heng stretched his arms and felt refreshed.
His gaze returned to the word [Load File].
She raised her slender fingers and tapped down with the smooth tip of her index finger.
The feeling is like touching the water surface with slight resistance and coolness.
The words "Load File" faded away, and the light turned into three pictures of the file fields.
The girl clicked on the third picture without hesitation.
In the quiet and humid cave, in the dark Dragon-Locking Well, a dragon head is faintly visible.
This time when she loaded the game, she had already set a goal.
"Dragon Heart."
At present, even the Sword of Life cannot kill the dragon at the bottom of the well.
But she didn't need to kill him.
The purpose of her coming here was to obtain materials such as dragon hearts and livers, to study the power of dragon transformation, and to continue to improve her own strength - to become the best in the world.
As the archive column in front of her disappeared, a sense of flow spread throughout her body.
Everything before my eyes changed, and the grey space turned into a thick darkness.
When his vision returned, the extremely loud dragon roar from the bottom of the well rang in his ears again.
"hold head high--!"
Locking the Dragon Well.
Dozens of elite soldiers of the Ever-Victorious Army gathered nervously around the well.
Xi Heng was standing on the edge of the Dragon Locking Well. He had just loaded the save file and his five senses were restored.
The sea of blood at the bottom of the well also reconnected with her mind.
She did not draw her sword and rush downwards as she had done before. Instead, she used the blood in her body as a guide, clenched her fingers, and chanted a spell.
"Demon Transformation."
As the three words fell, the exposed skin quickly turned pale, and the blood rushed through the neck, gathering at the center of the eyebrows, drawing a sharp and angular magic pattern.
A strange demonic quality seeped into the original temperament of the swordsman and the emperor.
The pain disappears and inspiration increases.
Filled with spiritual light, his mind and body became more agile, and his mental strength was greatly enhanced.
When the spell ended, Xi Heng drew out his sword and smoothly stabbed it into his abdomen with his reverse grip.
Ignoring the surprised voices from behind, the blood line had already penetrated the vital point and the qi sea, and the vital energy burst out endlessly.
In this state, all her moves will turn into blood wave sword techniques until her energy is exhausted.
Alternatively, you could use up all your energy and strike a fatal sword.
This is not over yet——
Since the perceptions of pain, itching and other negative effects on the battle no longer existed, Xi Heng untied the brocade bag on his waist without hesitation and took out the black ball-shaped dragon heart polyp.
Without a moment's hesitation, he put it directly into his lips.
I didn't bother to taste it, I just chewed it a few times and swallowed it.
The effect was immediately apparent, and a surge of heat suddenly spread from the chest and abdomen to every part of the body.
Although after using the Heavenly Demon Transformation, I no longer feel pain.
But the sudden burst of intense heat and feeling of being out of control still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
As her body trembled, she felt as if the skin all over her body was separating and cracking.
Xi Heng gritted his teeth and tore open the sleeve of his tights, only to see that the surface of his skin was covered with hideous fine lines as if he had just been struck by lightning.
The heat was still erupting, and where the intense heat was gathering was her heart, which seemed to be torn into pieces.
"Fortunately, I used the Heavenly Demon Transformation first." Xi Heng pursed his lips.
The feeling of being torn apart all over the body is already unbearable. If the pain is not blocked, I will probably lose my composure.
"The side effects are too great. The severe pain after swallowing this thing should put people into shock."
"Anyone who can ignore this kind of pain and fight with dragon power is a madman."
"If we want to use this to improve our long-term combat effectiveness, we must minimize the side effects."
After specific practice, she had a clearer understanding of the power of dragon.
"Also, devouring dragon meat seems to have an impact on the mind, so we must be careful..."
There was no hindrance at the moment because she used her own blood as fuel to activate the Heavenly Demon Transformation, drawing a boundary between her body and her spirit.
While she was meditating, she had swallowed the entire dragon heart polyp.
Immediately, starting from his heart, Xi Heng's skin all over his body began to crack, as if it had been struck by lightning.
The cracks ran across the fair neck, like a tattoo on the face.
There was a magma-like red color in it, which was her blood.
If there was no Hua Jin to lock the blood in the cracks and maintain the functioning of the organs, the blood would probably spray out indiscriminately until the flesh completely dried up.
"If you don't reach the state of transformation, swallowing the dragon's heart will only lead to death."
While talking to himself, Xi Heng heard a panicked voice behind him:
