“Oh? Implant dragon bones?” Emperor Huoyun exclaimed in surprise.
“Yes, dragon bones, and not just any, but the Dragon Emperor’s bones. The implantation process is extremely difficult, so I need Master’s help,” Lin Yun said.
“What? The Dragon… Dragon Emperor’s bones?” Emperor Huoyun stood up from his throne in shock.
Lin Yun had previously mentioned to Emperor Huoyun who the Dragon Emperor was.
The bones left by the Dragon Emperor were undoubtedly a supreme treasure.
“Lin Yun, you… you’re not joking with me, are you? You really obtained the Dragon Emperor’s bones?” Emperor Huoyun asked, hardly believing his ears.
“Master, you know my character. I wouldn’t joke about something like this,” Lin Yun replied.
“Lin Yun, the Dragon Emperor’s bones are so precious that the Dragon Clan should treat them as a sacred treasure. How… how did they end up in your hands?” Emperor Huoyun’s eyes were filled with astonishment.
“Master knows I share a life-and-death bond with the West Sea Dragon Palace. They gifted them to me,” Lin Yun said with a grin.
“Your Dragon Clan brother is truly generous. To give away such a treasure so freely, this cross-clan friendship reaching such heights is truly remarkable,” Emperor Huoyun said with a sigh of admiration.
He then stepped down from his throne.
“But, my disciple, implanting dragon bones is no easy task. It’s incredibly difficult, requiring you to endure inhuman torment and face extreme danger. Since these are the Dragon Emperor’s bones, the difficulty will be even more extraordinary. Are you sure you want to proceed?” Emperor Huoyun asked solemnly.
“I’m certain,” Lin Yun replied firmly, without a trace of hesitation.
“I knew you’d say that. That’s just like you. No matter how great the difficulty or torment, you’re willing to endure and challenge it for a chance to grow stronger. That’s what I admire most about you,” Emperor Huoyun said with a smile and a sigh.
Lin Yun grinned. “Master, I’m just a cultivator from a small world with no background or support to rely on. If I don’t fight with everything I have, how could I have a future? I wouldn’t have come this far otherwise.”
“Your physical body has already reached the powerful Origin Body realm, which gives you the foundation to implant the dragon bones. If your physical body weren’t strong enough, you couldn’t withstand the Dragon Emperor’s bones,” Emperor Huoyun said.
Lin Yun nodded. His Origin Body was the foundation and confidence he had to implant the Dragon Emperor’s bones.
After all, the quality of the Dragon Emperor’s bones was so high that attempting to implant them with an insufficiently strong physical body would be suicidal.
“Disciple, since you’ve made up your mind, let’s go to my training room,” Emperor Huoyun said, heading out of the hall.
Lin Yun quickly followed.
Emperor Huoyun led Lin Yun out of the hall to his training room.
The training room was a large hall, as spacious as a sports arena.
“This training room is equipped with arrays that block all noise and ensure high secrecy, shielding it from any divine sense detection,” Emperor Huoyun explained.
Lin Yun waved his hand, revealing the Dragon Emperor’s bones.
“Worthy of the Dragon Emperor’s skeleton. Even after countless years, I can still feel a powerful aura and presence from these bones,” Emperor Huoyun said, gazing at them in awe.
He knew full well how precious these Dragon Emperor’s bones were. Calling them priceless was no exaggeration.
“Master, to implant the Dragon Emperor’s bones, we first need to extract their essence,” Lin Yun said.
The Dragon Emperor’s skeleton was massive, far too large for Lin Yun to use in its entirety, so only a portion of its essence was needed.
“Alright, let’s get started,” Emperor Huoyun said.
Lin Yun looked up at the Dragon Emperor’s bones, then knelt and bowed to show respect.
The Dragon Emperor had left these bones and entrusted them to Little Green Dragon, intending for them to serve a purpose and benefit future generations.
After paying his respects, Lin Yun stood and began extracting the bones.
The Dragon Emperor’s skeleton was complete, with a vast number of bones, including the torso, vertebrae, and more.
However, most bones were unsuitable due to size or other factors. Only a small number of appropriately sized bones could be used for replacement.
The dragon bones were incredibly tough, so the two could only select whole bones of suitable size, removing them along the joints.
This part wasn’t too difficult.
Soon, Lin Yun and Emperor Huoyun prepared the Dragon Emperor’s bones for replacement.
“These Dragon Emperor’s bones are indeed far superior to human bones,” Emperor Huoyun said, marveling at the prepared bones.
The Dragon Clan’s bodies were naturally formidable.
Even if a dragon and a human were of equal strength, the human’s bones would pale in comparison to the dragon’s in terms of durability.
And these were the Dragon Emperor’s bones, the most powerful of all.
“Master, since the replacement Dragon Emperor’s bones are ready, let’s move to the next step. Please help me remove my bones, starting with both arms,” Lin Yun said, looking at Emperor Huoyun.
Emperor Huoyun nodded, drawing a treasured sword.
“Disciple, are you absolutely sure? Are you truly prepared?” Emperor Huoyun took a deep breath, asking solemnly.
“I have no regrets,” Lin Yun replied resolutely.
“Very well, I’ll begin,” Emperor Huoyun said, channeling his inner energy. With a surge of power, he swung the sword forcefully toward Lin Yun’s right arm.
Lin Yun didn’t use his inner energy to resist.
Given Lin Yun’s high physical body realm, his skin and flesh were extremely tough, requiring a sufficiently sharp weapon and immense power to cut through.
Emperor Huoyun was the perfect choice for this task. Among immortals of the same realm, he was renowned for his high attack power, and he was now at the Third-Level Mahayana realm.
With Emperor Huoyun’s efforts, the skin and flesh of Lin Yun’s right arm were cut open, exposing the arm bone.
This level of pain was negligible to Lin Yun, a mere trifle.
Next came the removal of the arm bone, where the real pain began.
“Hiss!”
As Emperor Huoyun started removing the bone, Lin Yun gasped sharply from the excruciating pain.
“Disciple, are you alright?” Emperor Huoyun paused, holding the sword.
“I’m fine. Master, please continue,” Lin Yun said through gritted teeth.
To become stronger, one must endure the necessary pain.
The glory and reverence Lin Yun received outside, being hailed as a prodigy, came from such unseen sacrifices.
With Emperor Huoyun’s efforts, the arm bone was completely removed.
