**Chapter 89: Sword Spirit, Soul Skill in the Bone of the Soul of One Hundred Thousand Years**
Xiao Tao quickly shared her current situation with Gu Ziyi.
She is now fully merged with the soul bone in a soul state and has lost the ability to move.
Now, she can only coexist with her soul bone.
And because of her presence, the soul bone can be automatically activated without needing her presence to activate the soul abilities within the soul bone.
It turns out she couldn't use offensive soul abilities against Gu Ziyi.
In his opinion, Xiao Tao is like one of those sword spirits that appear in fictional stories, except she is a sword spirit from her own soul bone!
The two soul abilities she left in her soul bones were 'Fallen Peach Blossom' (Tao Zhi Yao Yao) and 'Nine Flaming Peach Blossoms'.
(N/E: The original text was poorly written, so I changed 'Peach blossoms and falling peach blossoms through nine heavens' to how it is now.)
It would be more appropriate to call it 'Escape of the Peach Blossoms.'
It is a soul ability meant to be a life-saving method. After use, the body transforms into peach blossoms and begins to scatter, then the real body teleports away from the location.
It is a variant of Xiao Wu's teleportation ability, but the distance is greater.
As for the Nine Flaming Peach Blossoms, it is a soul ability designed for large-scale attack!
Finally, there's the matter of the connection Xiao Tao has with Gu Ziyi. It seems that, because she previously considered him as a target for her sacrifice, she ended up bound to him, even though she had not completed the sacrifice ritual.
They can feel each other's emotions because of this bond.
"And now? Can you still feel my emotions?"
After Xiao Tao finished speaking, Gu Ziyi asked her again in his mind.
The communication between them always occurs in their minds.
Xiao Tao had spoken a lot because of her explanation, but it seemed like she had just finished a few moments ago.
"Ah..."
"No, I can't feel them anymore. What's happening?"
Xiao Tao quickly realized she couldn't feel Gu Ziyi's emotions anymore as soon as he asked, and she was suddenly surprised.
"It's nothing. Since you sacrificed yourself for me back then, although some changes occurred during the process, the result is still the same. That is, I am your master now. If I don't want you to feel my emotions, you won't be able to feel them."
Gu Ziyi smiled proudly.
Now he was sure that Xiao Tao, who had basically turned into a sword spirit, could no longer harm him.
Because when Xiao Tao said earlier that she couldn't attack him, there was no attempt at deception or disguise in her words.
"Ah! How could this happen? This is so unfair!"
Xiao Tao suddenly became dissatisfied when she heard this.
"Okay, okay, let me release the restrictions!"
Gu Ziyi smiled slightly and then relaxed so that Xiao Tao could feel his emotional changes again.
Since he felt there was nothing to hide from her, Xiao Tao was no longer a threat to him.
And if there was really something he didn't want her to feel, it wouldn't be too late to cut off the feelings she had for him.

At that moment, Yu Long and Li Chanfei also rushed quickly with Bibi Dong following closely behind.
"Your Highness!"
"Your Highness, are you okay?"
After her two protectors arrived, they were relieved to see that Gu Ziyi was fine.
They were really worried that he wouldn't be able to withstand the energy of a 100,000-year Soul Ring, and something might happen to him.
"Little brother, where is your 100,000-year Soul Ring? Release it quickly, let me see..."
After Bibi Dong saw that Gu Ziyi seemed to be fine and was very calm, she was eager to see the 100,000-year Soul Ring that he was supposed to have absorbed.
Currently, she didn't see any sign of a 100,000-year Soul Ring condensing or being absorbed into his body. Instead, she saw that he seemed to have done something with the soul bone in his hands.
But compared to the changes in the soul bone, what she most wanted to see was the appearance of the 100,000-year Soul Ring.
"I didn't accept her sacrifice."
Gu Ziyi shook his head, revealing that he had not absorbed the 100,000-year Soul Ring.
"What?"
"You didn't accept it?"
"Then... that 100,000-year Soul Beast just disappeared like that? Only this soul bone remains?"
Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's response, Bibi Dong and the other two were extremely shocked.
They never expected him to reject the sacrifice of a 100,000-year Soul Beast, especially when he was supposed to receive a 100,000-year Soul Ring for it!
"It's too dangerous for me to accept a 100,000-year Soul Ring, and besides, all of my Soul Rings are self-condensing. If I want to continue improving my Soul Rings in the future, I can't risk absorbing any Soul Ring from any Soul Beast, even if it's a 100,000-year Soul Ring!"
"As for that Soul Beast, you should have seen the situation. It has completely merged into this soul bone."
"Now, this soul bone is under my control and has turned into the sword I wanted. It has also been bound to my soul and cannot be used or absorbed by anyone else."
Gu Ziyi briefly explained what had happened.
As for the fusion and symbiosis of the soul from this soul bone from Xiao Tao, he didn't mention that.
It's enough that he knows this.
"How can it be like this..."
After hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Yu Long and the other two were once again surprised.
"Sister Fei, you can try and see if you can absorb it."
Gu Ziyi then handed the sword made from the soul bone to Li Chanfei.
"Well, let me try!"
Li Chanfei was also very curious about the situation. She immediately tried to absorb the soul bone after taking it in her hands and immediately discovered that she really couldn't absorb it.
"It's truly impossible to absorb, the soul bone really must be bound to its master like you said..."
"Well, this sword is now like an external soul bone (Note: Like Tang San's spider legs) that has been completely merged by the Soul Master. No one can use it except me. If I die one day, it will be completely destroyed with me!"
Gu Ziyi smiled and nodded.
"Your Highness made it take the form of a long sword. Aren't you going to absorb it into your body?"
Yu Long was shocked and looked at the appearance of the sword, then couldn't help but ask Gu Ziyi.
He knew the boy had developed a Golden Light Sword control technique based on his third Soul Ring.
"Yes, the research department also checked this issue. For me, the consequences of absorbing soul bones and Soul Rings from Soul Beasts are the same, so I won't absorb any soul bone until a solution is found for it."
"But it doesn't matter whether it was absorbed or not. Now this sword is bound to me, and no one else can use it. I can still use its soul abilities while holding it in my hands."
"And as long as I don't tell anyone, no one will know that this sword is actually a soul bone, so no one will try to steal it if I take it out for future use."
"Elders, please help me keep this news hidden!"
Gu Ziyi nodded and finally asked Yu Long and Li Chanfei.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I definitely won't leak this news."
Yu Long quickly assured him.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, sister won't say anything!" Li Chanfei also promised with a smile.
"If you gave up the Soul Ring, and you won't absorb this soul bone. These two are a 100,000-year Soul Ring and soul bone with 100,000 years of cultivation!"
"Little brother, you're really amazing with your resistance to temptation!"
"If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to avoid my greed, and I'd choose to absorb both the Soul Ring and the soul bone together."
At this moment, Bibi Dong looked at Gu Ziyi with great admiration, and her eyes shone.
She truly began to admire her younger brother for his determination in this situation.
"Yes, Your Highness's determination is really incredible!"
"Most people wouldn't be able to make such a decision."
Yu Long and Li Chanfei also exclaimed in surprise, looking at Gu Ziyi with admiration in their eyes.
"No, if the Soul Rings of the older sister and the two Elders were self-condensing like mine, you would definitely make the same choice I made."
Gu Ziyi smiled and didn't say anything more.
"Let's call this sword of mine Flaming Peach Tree (Zhuotao) from now on!" (N/E: I prefer the name in Chinese, I think I'll use it next time.)
Gu Ziyi took the soul bone sword and played with it a few times before giving it a name.
After saying this, he used his soul guide to store it.
"Sister Fei, I'd like to trouble you to continue helping protect me. My fourth Soul Ring hasn't been condensed yet!"
After storing the peach tree wooden sword, Gu Ziyi spoke again to Li Chanfei and the other two.
"That's what we should do!"
"Your Highness, you can rest assured when condensing your Soul Ring. We've long been waiting to witness with our own eyes how your Soul Rings are condensed!"
"Yes, yes, little brother, hurry and condense your Soul Ring. Sister still hasn't seen how it's done!"
