The power of space is a unique ability that Soft Boned Rabbits develop upon reaching the 100,000-year cultivation level. Unlike other soul beasts that possess spatial abilities, the Soft Boned Rabbit's mastery of space is weak, manifesting in only two ways: Invincible Golden Body and Teleportation.

Teleportation requires little explanation. As for Invincible Golden Body, it doesn't make the physical body indestructible. Instead, it relies on the power of space to form a spatial membrane over the body, acting as a protective barrier.

In general, for a typical 100,000-year Soft Boned Rabbit, these are the only two applications of spatial power.

"It's said that the bloodline of our Soft Boned Rabbit clan originates from the Dragon Rabbit, a species of rabbit with dragon blood, and not just any dragon—the most noble, with golden blood," Xiao Rou recounted the ancestral memories passed down through the generations of Soft Bone Rabbits, her tone filled with a mix of awe and regret. "The internal organ enhancement I mentioned is actually linked to the power of space."

"By manipulating spatial energy in a specific way, it circulates through the internal organs and even the brain, creating an incredibly strong digestive system."

"Our Soft Boned Rabbits are especially sensitive to plants. We can discern which ones are beneficial to us, and which combinations—whether mixed with other plants or unusual rocks and soil—bring us the greatest benefits."

"This is how some of our Soft Boned Rabbit lineage can reach the 100,000-year cultivation level."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu had a sudden realization.

So, the Soft Boned Rabbit clan are essentially natural alchemy masters! Instead of refining herbs into pills, they consume various herbs and minerals, allowing the reactions to occur naturally within their bodies. This eliminates the need for forming pills, as the medicinal effects are directly absorbed into the body.

No wonder I have such a talent for medicine! Xiao Wu thought.

It turns out that the Soft Boned Rabbit's internal organs are like a natural alchemy furnace. All my current research on medicine and pill refinement is actually biomimicry—I'm just imitating my own body!

Tang San's reflection went even deeper: Nature is truly the best teacher. The so-called 'closeness to the Dao' must mean living in harmony with nature.

Xiao Rou continued, "This ability requires exceptional control over one's soul power and a keen sense of spatial energy. Most 100,000-year Soft Boned Rabbits can't achieve it."

Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel a little exasperated, sensing that her mother was subtly criticizing her past self.

"But now, you should be able to do it."

"I can sense that you've also inherited a space-related domain, haven't you? You've likely inherited the spatial ability developed by our Soft Boned Rabbit lineage as well."

Xiao Wu didn't deny it and explained the situation regarding the Illusionary Beast Realm.

"How lucky you are. Why didn't I have such fortune?" Xiao Rou sighed with a hint of envy before continuing, "In that case, my sacrifice should allow me to help you build a system that primarily strengthens your internal organs, while also enhancing your brain and nervous system. As for the soul skill, that will depend. After all, the soul skills you possess aren't typical of a Soft Boned Rabbit, so I can't say for sure how my sacrifice will affect the skill development."

Afterward, Tang San led Xiao Wu out of the starry world and used his fourth soul skill, Nine Deaths and Rebirth. With the strand of Soft Boned Rabbit bloodline aura Electrolux had extracted from Bibi Dong's Soft Boned Rabbit soul bone, he began to reconstruct Xiao Rou's physical body.

The phenomenon accompanying the resurrection was subtle. Inside a small room, a faint glow emanated from the top of a three-meter-tall Blue Silver Emperor. At its peak, a pearl three meters in diameter gleamed, its surface swirling with nebula-like mist. Inside, a 1.6-meter-long Soft Boned Rabbit lay quietly, as if it were a budding flower on the verge of breaking free.

"San-ge, how long will it take for my mother to wake up?" Xiao Wu asked anxiously.

"About an hour," Tang San estimated. "That's the feedback I'm receiving from the Blue Silver Emperor, translated into human time."

As they spoke, both Tang San and Electrolux noticed something deeper—a formless, ethereal light suddenly appeared out of nowhere the moment Xiao Rou's physical body fully took shape. It seemed to materialize from the void, then instantly merged with her soul, entering her brain.

Earlier, though Xiao Rou's soul appeared lively and complete, to Tang San, it had always felt like an old, worn-out garment—lacking the vibrancy of life.

But now, it was as if her soul had truly come alive!

"It seems the Immortal True Spirit is indeed the key to life," Electrolux acknowledged. "I accepted this a long time ago. When I discovered that a soul's shell and its memories could be replicated, I knew I should stop hoping for more... I am no longer the original Undead Scourge, just as I've said before. I need to embrace my own life."

At Tang San's permission, the Lord of Eternity, Austin Griffin, also observed that immortal spark through their shared vision, falling deep into contemplation.

The Lord of Eternity realized that this light was the true embodiment of eternity.

Though Austin Griffin was reluctant to admit it, he understood that no matter how powerful he became, he could never destroy or extinguish that immortal spark.

It was the true essence of a life's eternity.

As the Soft Boned Rabbit within the luminous pearl began to take human form, her eyes suddenly opened, radiating an intense light.

The sacrifice had begun!

The energy of the Soft Boned Rabbit, combined with the life force provided by Tang San's fourth soul skill, the radiance of the sun and moon, and the power of the earth, infused her entire being, turning her into pure energy. This energy condensed into a blood-red soul ring, slowly enveloping Xiao Wu.

They shared the same roots, the same origin, connected by blood.

Xiao Wu barely needed to sit and meditate—she could immediately feel the energy of the soul ring circulating through her body. It actively strengthened her physique and enhanced her soul power. But more importantly, spatial energy was flowing through her internal organs and brain via new pathways, forming a system that integrated her soul power, blood energy, and spiritual energy into a harmonious cycle.

In that moment, Xiao Wu's body radiated a unique brilliance, as if it were made of glass, glowing with an intense heat like the scorching sun and yet vast like the starry skies.

Tang San's primordial spirit keenly sensed the subtle tremors in Xiao Wu's three dantian points, forming an intricate energy circuit with her internal organs, which in turn drew in the energy of heaven and earth from the outside world.

By the time Xiao Wu had fully absorbed the soul ring, her soul power had surged to level 89, just a step away from the final breakthrough to level 90.

"Are you done, Xiao Wu, you..." Tang San began to ask.

Before he could finish, Xiao Wu threw her arms around him, kissed him, and with a playful smile said, "Curious about my new soul skill? Let me show you right now."

With that, she started tugging at Tang San's clothes.

Seeing Xiao Wu in such a mood, Tang San quickly severed the shared vision with Electrolux, the Lord of Eternity, and Austin Griffin, preparing to give Xiao Wu a thorough examination...
