Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 182: Scales

Creating dragon scales was not easy, especially since Ye Chen wanted them in soul form.

Nonetheless, he didn’t hesitate and arrived inside his sea of consciousness; he also brought the dragoness along, stunning and surprising her.

"What do you want?"

Her rest was interrupted so she wasn’t happy.

"I need you to extract his soul power when I need it," Ye Chen pointed at Lu Feng without any nonsense.

After this he waved his hand, controlling all of his soul power.

To make dragon scales, some sacrifices were necessary, such as the soul power he painstakingly gathered through two tier-7 and one tier-9 spirit fruit.

The early stages of soul cultivation completely relied on external help so it was not like he could gather it easily again. Which meant to cultivate soul power again, he would need high-tier spirit fruits or herbs with soul power.

As for the soul power of others? How could it be compared to him? Not to mention he was planning something big so the sacrifice of his soul power was necessary.

Swoosh!

At his command the soul power inside his sea of consciousness continued to gather before condensing into tiny threads.

’What is he doing?’ Long Ruxue thought with a pout; however, she was not idle.

She made some hand symbols and in an instant sinister red nails as big as an adult hand materialized. Their target was none other than Lu Feng, who was in despair.

He had been reborn and thought he could make the world shake. But because he was too arrogant to provoke Ye Chen, he got captured.

It’s a pity that he didn’t know Ye Chen was even more arrogant than him; if not, he would certainly die with anger.

At this moment Ye Chen was creating a basic formation for his dragon scale. It was a little complicated since it needed to be small, not to mention he was not some formation master.

Fortunately, while bullying his junior sister, he also learned one or two things about arrays and formations; if not, he wouldn’t even be able to consider such a thing.

It did not take too long and formations started taking their shape. The first one was for qi-gathering, the second one was for defense, the third one was for offense, the fourth one...

In short, everything was basic. But the good part was he can make changes any time, like improving the formations and even adding more, like a formation for gathering soul power.

However, everything depended on his comprehension and his soul power.

Swoosh!

After a moment one dragon scale finally took its shape. It was completely colorless and did not possess any nobility but it was what Ye Chen wanted.

Long Ruxue finally understood what he was doing; however, she silently scoffed in her heart. Imitating dragon scales—even if he was given a hundred lives, he wouldn’t be able to do it.

Her current dragon scales were still in the growing phase, which meant there was a lot of room for improvement. Furthermore, if she could use chaos spiritual qi to create her body, then every scale of hers could wield heavenly laws.

Such a thing can be imitated?

Even if the heavens told such a thing, everyone would think of it as a joke.

Ye Chen did not care about her thoughts and continued to create dragon scales. After the creation of one, others became easier. It’s just that the sizes varied as he was creating it for his human body.

Nonetheless, it didn’t take too long and a humanoid shape made of dragon scales was slowly constructed before him.

There was still a lot of work to do but he did not care and started making large scales for his main body.

This was much simpler and less time-consuming. However, the soul power required for it was a lot.

Fortunately he has Lu Feng, a reborn person, and also the souls of heretical and fallen sect cultivators he had killed.

He wanted to keep this soul for nether beast egg but since he needed soul power now, he could only use it.

Long Ruxue beside him was puzzled. She couldn’t comprehend why he needed to create scales now, especially since the soul power of others might cause some instability.

It was not as good as his own after all.

However, Ye Chen did not care and was focused on the creation of scales. But soon he encountered the problem and that was the low amount of soul power.

With a helpless look, he could only cut corners, such as creating a scale with only one formation.

He didn’t want to do this; however, there was no other way.

It didn’t take too long and within a few hours all the creation of scales was completed, although with him cutting a lot of corners.

Nonetheless, he was satisfied as he saw his main body covered in transparent scales.

’Now I can try body cultivation,’ he muttered and made a few hand symbols.

In that instant the spiritual stone formation outside lit up with a glow, followed by herbs and spirit fruits he had prepared.

The body cultivation was very simple. One just needed to temper their body with a certain amount of herbs.

Of course, achieving a special physique through this was impossible, especially since the special physiques are closely related to Soul.

So his cultivation technique was a little different; if not for this, he wouldn’t need to make dragon scales now; he could’ve done it later.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The formation operated at rapid speed, gathering spiritual qi in dense mist. The void pearl was not idle either; it devoured the spiritual qi greedily, making sure it wouldn’t be less.

This action caused a commotion in the outside world, especially since it was midnight.

"Bad guy breaking my sleep, I won’t forgive you!" Wang Yiyi pouted with a displeased look.

Li Mei and Lan Ming were also complaining. They thought they could finally sleep peacefully in their home-ground but it seems this was just their wish.

Zhen Yunqi was also complaining, as the repeated commotion might cause his identity to leak.

The only one who remained calm was Jing Xiao; she was getting more and more curious about what Ye Chen was doing.
