Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

This time, they were going to meet a ruthless character ranked third among the top ten ferocious beasts, and she was a woman. Sometimes, when a woman gets angry, she can be even more terrifying than a man.

Tianlin was already silently mourning for Tang Hao in his heart.

In reality, if Tianlin flew at full speed, a little over a day would be enough, but that was only a theoretical time. The far north was extremely dangerous. If Tianlin spent a lot of energy and soul power traveling there and ended up completely exhausted, what would he do if he encountered enemies?

Besides, no matter what, he can fly faster than Tang Hao can walk, so there's no need to be in such a hurry.

Two days later, as the cold wind grew increasingly biting, Tianlin knew that they were about to enter the far north. The two of them had already descended and were walking. The temperature at high altitude was extremely low. Tianlin was alright, but Ning Rongrong only had two soul bones. Even though she had consumed two kinds of immortal delicacies, she could only resist the cold wind.

There are two ways to enter the far north: first, cross the snow-capped mountains; second, traverse the frost forest. Tianlin chose the second way because he and Ning Rongrong had both reached their bottlenecks and needed to upgrade their soul rings.

"Brother is finally home. Alas, I lived here for hundreds of thousands of years, but because my cultivation was too high, I was forced to flee into the sea. Then I returned to the mainland and was imprisoned in the Lake of Life by the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Fortunately, I was saved twice by your Spirit Pearl Divine Sword, Xiao Tian." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed.

"Oh, so the culprit who caused you such a miserable state, Brother Tianmeng, is that guy who was chasing you at the beginning, right? How about I get stronger and kill her to avenge you, just like I killed the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?" Tianlin said with a wicked smile. Of course, he knew who was chasing him, and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm would never do that.

"No, Xiao Tian, ​​you absolutely cannot hurt that soul beast. She is my beloved Bingbing." Sure enough, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm became anxious. "They say that hitting is a sign of affection and scolding is a sign of love. Bingbing is treating me like this because she loves me deeply."

"Brother Tianmeng, I never realized you were a hypocrite. When the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear captured you, it was considered a deep-seated hatred, but when the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion captured you, it became love and affection. Why didn't you just submit to her in the first place? Why did you run away?"

"Can that big, clumsy bear compare to my Bingbing? The reason I don't obey Bingbing is because I am the most powerful soul beast in Douluo Continent. How can I live off Bingbing? Bingbing chased me all over the far north to protect me. I must repay her with my love and my whole heart!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's eyes revealed deep love.

Tianlin shook his head helplessly. The number one soul beast in the continent was actually a sycophant. The world was going to the dogs.

Seeing Tianlin shaking his head and sighing inexplicably, Ning Rongrong laughed and said, "Brother Jian, you're communicating with Brother Tianmeng in your Sea of ​​Souls again."

Tianlin nodded. "Yes, it was born in this far north, so it knows this place quite well."

"Brother Jian, if I also have such a wisdom soul ring in the future, will there be someone living in my sea of ​​souls? Then when we are intimate, won't she and Brother Tianmeng see it all?" Ning Rongrong suddenly asked, blushing.

So that's what she was concerned about. Tianlin gently stroked her hair. "It's alright. I'll teach you how to seal off your spiritual sea later. That way, the thing inside won't be able to see or hear anything outside, like this."

Tianlin lightly touched his forehead with his finger, and in an instant, his sea of ​​souls was sealed. Then he leaned towards Ning Rongrong's blushing cheeks.

"Hey, Xiao Tian, ​​why did you turn off the lights in broad daylight? I'm afraid of the dark, Xiao Tian!!!"

Within the Sea of ​​Spirit, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm let out a mournful cry. Who would have thought that a mighty million-year-old soul beast would be afraid of the dark?

Chapter 376 The Legend of Fire in Ice and the Delicate Snow Dance

"That heartless brat Tian, ​​he actually locked me up for two whole hours! What are you doing? In this freezing cold, you don't need to do anything here, do you?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm kept muttering to herself in her sea of ​​consciousness.

It had never been this angry before, even when it was sealed away by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear for twelve years. But these two short hours felt like a century had passed. Having grown accustomed to a carefree life, it was no wonder it complained so much when suddenly returned to the situation of the past.

"Brother Tianmeng, I really didn't do anything. You said it yourself, I have no interest in this freezing weather. I just simply forgot about you." Tianlin said, exasperated.

"Damn it, you value romance over friendship! No way, I must help you become a god as soon as possible, and then use your divine power to reshape your divine body into a divine beast. Only then can I gain true freedom," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said unhappily.

As they spoke, the two people and the insect arrived at a snow-white forest. This was the Frost Forest, the Soul Beast Forest in Douluo Continent, second only to the Star Dou Great Forest and the Sunset Forest.

In the original story, Oscar obtained his sixth spirit ring by hunting a 20,000-year-old Mirror Shadow Beast here.

Beyond this forest lies the far north.

When Oscar reaches level 60, Tianlin still plans to have him come here to hunt for this soul ring. After all, the Mirror Sausage is indeed very abnormal. As long as different people have enough blood, its endless fighting styles will be quite troublesome for anyone who encounters it.

“Brother Tianmeng, Rongrong has already broken through level 60, and I have also broken through level 80. It’s time to hunt for soul rings and advance. Anyway, Tang Hao is going to walk here, and it will probably take him several more days to get here. How about we take this time to complete our advancement? There should be wind attribute soul beasts in the Frost Forest, right?” Tianlin asked.

The wind is so cold here that, besides water and ice, many wind-attribute spirit beasts must also like this place.

“Of course there are, but they’re not suitable for you. The longest you can reach is around 70,000 years. Your eighth ring must be at least 100,000 years, otherwise it would be a waste of your current powerful physique,” ​​said Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. “I once heard a legend that deep in the far north, there is a scorching place called Fire in Ice, where the hottest fire burns in the coldest ice. But no one knows where that place is, or whether it’s true or not.”

"But I know that the legend is true, because I really saw a fire-attribute soul beast fight with Bingbing. Although Bingbing won in the end, it was not an easy victory. According to my estimate, that fire soul beast was at least close to 200,000 years old, and it was only by relying on the elemental advantage that it could temporarily suppress Bingbing."

"A fire-attribute soul beast that can fight the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!" Tian Lin was overjoyed. His weakest attribute right now was fire, not in terms of quality, but in terms of quantity. He only had one thousand-year-old Purple Flame Golden Eye Beast soul ring, which was too weak.

The elemental imbalance of the Demon Sword was completely unavoidable, but for Tianlin, it was enough for this continent. He could find the elemental gods to replenish the missing part after he became a god.

"Brother Meng, do you know where that fiery land is?"

"Of course I don't know," Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said matter-of-factly. "I'm an ice-attribute soul beast with no combat ability. Going there would be no different from courting death. But I'm sure that Xue Di or Bingbing knows. As long as we find them, we'll have a chance to find that place."

Tianlin sighed helplessly, "Well, it seems my advancement to Soul Douluo will be delayed by a few more days. In that case, let's help Rongrong advance to Soul Emperor first."

“That’s easy. Your Rongrong’s sixth ring needs a six-day boost, so just find any support-type soul beast. How about the Delicate Snow Satin? It’s a snowflake-type soul beast. You’ve seen it before, haven’t you? It’s the martial soul of that dancing girl from Tianshui Academy.” Tianmeng Ice Silkworm introduced, “The Delicate Snow Satin has no combat ability; it’s a pure support-type soul beast. Its ability is to control the weather, which is also a kind of boost, such as making the rain fall harder or the snow fall faster, etc.”

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has strong compatibility. By absorbing this soul ring, Ning Rongrong should be able to gain attribute boosts."

After listening to the introduction of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Tianlin nodded in approval and conveyed the suggestion to Ning Rongrong.

“Snowy Dance Pagoda? Sure, my dad told me that if I encounter a Snowy Dance Pagoda of the right age when I pass through the Frost Forest, I can absorb it directly.” Ning Rongrong expressed her complete agreement. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has its own system for cultivating the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The Snow Silk Dance was originally one of the top choices for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's spirit rings. However, this kind of spirit ring is generally only used for the third ring at most. Tianlin didn't know the specific reason, as his knowledge of spirit beasts was pitifully limited. But since Ning Rongrong and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm both said it was okay, then there shouldn't be any problem.

Guided by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Tianlin and Ning Rongrong arrived at an ice lake. Above the lake, many snowflakes, like little elves, were floating and dancing.

"So cute!" Ning Rongrong seemed to really like this soul beast, her eyes shining.

She's a girl, after all; she's powerless against cute things.

"It's best not to develop feelings of affection for soul beasts, Rongrong. Don't forget, you're going to hunt one of them down later," Tianlin cautioned.

"Brother Jian is indeed a terrible student when it comes to Soul Beasts. The way to obtain Soul Rings from Slender Snowflakes is different from other Soul Beasts. It's not through ordinary hunting, but by directly absorbing their cultivation, which will generate Soul Rings." Ning Rongrong smiled and looked at a Slender Snowflake, beckoning it, "Come, come to your sister!"

A tiny, palm-sized snow-white silk ribbon, upon hearing Ning Rongrong's call, obediently flew into her palm.

"This soul beast is too obedient. I've never seen a soul beast come to my door so readily," Tianlin said in surprise.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm glanced at Tianlin with disdain. "Little Tian, ​​your family has such good resources, can't you go and read a few books? The essence of the Fragrance Dance Snow Silk is a snowflake. You can think of it as a spirit that absorbed the endless cold air of the far north, but they have no intelligence. Unless they reach 100,000 years old, they will not have the same intelligence as humans. It can be said that they are the slowest growing soul beasts. Moreover, once they grow to more than 1,000 years old, they easily attract other soul beasts to absorb their cultivation because they are too obedient. Therefore, this kind of soul beast is extremely difficult to grow. Let alone 10,000 years, even 1,000 years is extremely rare."

"Fortunately, they only need to sacrifice their cultivation. Generally, neither humans nor soul beasts will kill them, allowing them to grow again. It can be said that the gods closed one door for them while opening another window."

"What Ning Rongrong has right now is a delicate snow-white silk robe that's just over a hundred years old. It's perfect for her. Use your Illusory Water Thunderclap to raise her cultivation to twenty thousand years, which will be just the limit!"

Chapter 377 Arrival in the Far North: The True Feelings of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm

"Alright, fifth soul skill, Illusory Water Thunder!"

Following Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's advice, Tianlin used Illusory Water Thunder to infuse the Slender Snow Silk Sprite with 20,000 years of cultivation. The once delicate and lovely face now showed a look of pain.

The amplification from the Demon Sword was too overpowered; soul beasts with weak physical attributes didn't like the feeling of becoming stronger.

The snow fairy gradually grew up under the influence of the Illusory Water and Thunder. If she was a little girl just now, she is now like a young girl, but she still looks so innocent and naive.

It seems that Tianmeng Bingcan was right. Unless she grows to be 100,000 years old and becomes a mature woman, she will not truly awaken her intelligence.

Ning Rongrong stepped forward and gently stroked the delicate snow-white satin. "I'm counting on you this time. Please grant me your power and help me obtain my sixth soul ring."

The delicate snow-white silk slowly approached Ning Rongrong. She disliked the power Tianlin had given her; it was too domineering and felt like it was going to burst her body. Although she lacked intelligence, she still had the instincts of a living being.

Fiber Snow Satin poured all of its 20,000 years of cultivation into Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and a black sixth soul ring appeared on the sixth floor of the pagoda.

Having lost her cultivation, the girl reverted to being a loli, but she seemed remarkably relaxed.

Ning Rongrong picked up the delicate snow-white silk and kissed her on the cheek. "Thank you. Go back and continue dancing with your companions."

This is truly the easiest sixth ring to obtain. Tianlin watched the slender snow ribbon fly back and wondered if he could bring one back with him.

After all, her method of generating spirit rings is so unique. If she could use her own Illusory Water Thunderclap, wouldn't she be able to mass-produce spirit rings?

However, in the blink of an eye, Tianlin shook off this unrealistic idea. The physical condition of the Fiber Snow Satin was too weak. Judging from the little elf's painful expression just now, it would be fine once or twice, but if it happened again, the Fiber Snow Satin would definitely burst.

Perpetual motion machines are indeed unlikely; let them continue dancing here.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong had completely absorbed the energy of the sixth ring, and all her attributes had improved. The stronger she became, the greater her help would be later.

"A 20,000-year-old Snow Silk Soul Ring—I must be the first person to have that!" Ning Rongrong said with a charming smile.

The Snow Dance Soul Ring grows slowly and its cultivation is often drained by other soul beasts. Ning Rongrong has never heard of a Snow Dance Soul Ring that is more than 5,000 years old. It is no exaggeration to say that her 10,000-year soul ring is the best.

"Rongrong, what level are you now?" Tianlin asked with concern. Ning Rongrong had not only absorbed a 20,000-year soul ring, but she had also fully activated the effects of both the Crystal Immortal Spirit Pill and the Heaven-Mending Pill. He guessed that it couldn't be as simple as just passing level 60, but he couldn't be sure at the time because he didn't have a soul ring.

"I'm level 64 now, and I feel like my cultivation speed is no slower than when I was level 50. Thank you, Brother Sword, it's all thanks to you." Ning Rongrong jumped into Tianlin's arms and happily cuddled. Her current aptitude far surpasses that of ordinary innate full soul power.

She might still be a step behind Qian Renxue, who is at the 20th level of the Innate Realm. However, even if the original protagonist Tang San hadn't died, it would have been difficult for him to catch up with her current cultivation speed even with the help of the Xuan Tian Gong.

Tianlin was very satisfied with this. Ning Rongrong now should be able to barely meet the requirements of a first-level god.

In the blink of an eye, several more days passed. Tianlin and Ning Rongrong had already traversed the Frost Forest on foot and truly entered the far north. As they went deeper, the snow on the ground became thicker and thicker, already covering their knees. Fortunately, their cultivation levels were now quite high, so this little bit was not a problem for them.

Unlike the Frosty Forest, this place is home to spirit beasts over ten thousand years old. The climate in the far north is too harsh, so most spirit masters are unwilling to come here to hunt for spirit rings. Moreover, the spirit beasts that can live here are all powerful beings.

Excluding ferocious beasts like Di Tian and Bing Tian Xue Nu, the overall combat power of the soul beasts in the far north far surpasses that of the Star Dou Great Forest.

As Tianmeng Ice Silkworm pointed out the direction to Tianlin, it said, "Little Tian, ​​continue north. This is only the edge of the far north. The target we are looking for must be in the deepest part."

“Brother Tianmeng, don’t worry. What we need to do now is wait for him to come to us. I estimate that Tang Hao will not take the Frost Forest route, but will directly cross the snow mountain and arrive at this far north as quickly as possible. Therefore, I’m going to intercept him there. I think he should be arriving soon.” After Tianlin finished speaking, he took Ning Rongrong’s hand and continued forward.

As night fell, the two finally found a cave and decided to spend the night there. Tianlin held Ning Rongrong in his arms. He had the Ultimate Fire protecting him and could transfer his warmth to Ning Rongrong to help her stay warm.

"It's so warm. Even though it's such a cold place, being in Brother Jian's arms feels like basking in the spring sun." Ning Rongrong found a comfortable spot, buried her head in Tianlin's chest, and slowly fell asleep.

"That's wonderful. I wish I could be like Bingbing someday. But it's okay, we're already very close to Bingbing now. I'll be able to see her soon." Tianmeng Bingcan said enviously.

Seeing this, Tianlin asked gossipily, "Brother Tianmeng, I remember that the Ice Jade Scorpion Clan has always fed on the Ice Silkworm Clan. Why are you so fascinated by the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion?"

"Xiao Tian, ​​you don't understand, love knows no race."

"I know you'll ask. We're not only different races, but also natural enemies, how could we fall in love? Actually, at our level, race is no longer a constraint. What I seek is more of a spiritual connection. You've already heard about its attitude towards me. To be honest, a large part of the reason I'm so eager to become your spirit ring is because I can't wait any longer. I'm afraid her time will come, and she won't survive. I love her, but I don't force her to love me back. However, no matter what, I will do everything in my power to keep her alive. And my selfish desire is that it can stay with me forever, even if it curses me every day, I'd still want to hear its voice. Can you understand? That's love." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm revealed her true feelings word by word.

Tianlin wanted to say that this wasn't love, it was just being a simp, but judging from Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's state, it was probably already deeply in love, and even Tianlin couldn't pull it back.

Since that's the case, he can only help Tianmeng Ice Silkworm achieve its wish and help it become a god together with the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion. If Huo Yuhao in the original story could do it, Tianlin doesn't think he can't.

Tianlin glanced at his storage soul tool, which contained a very important item that he had picked up on a whim when he went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to replenish the Blue Silver King's Holy Spirit Qi before coming here. He would have to rely on it this time.

Chapter 378 Tang Hao Arrives, Ice and Snow Emperors Mobilize

The next morning, Tianlin suddenly awoke from his meditation. In this place, it was impossible for him to enter deep meditation; any disturbance outside would be easily detected.

In fact, where he is now is at the foot of the Ice Mountain, which is another entrance to the far north, besides the Frost Forest.

Tianlin had calculated Tang Hao's walking speed precisely, which is why he was waiting for him here in advance.

Sure enough, at that very moment, the immense spiritual power he had been radiating detected Tang Hao.

"Rongrong, wake up, we should go out." Tianlin gently called to Ning Rongrong, waking her from her peaceful sleep.

Ning Rongrong opened her beautiful eyes, "Brother Jian, has the person you're waiting for arrived?"

“That’s right, I still need to call a few guests, let’s go!” Tianlin pulled Ning Rongrong out of the cave and then summoned the Holy Spirit Pearl.

"First Soul Skill, Five Elements Purification!"

A massive beam of holy light shot into the sky. This soul skill was the soul skill of the soul ring formed by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. Tian Lin incorporated the spiritual power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm into this skill. Those familiar with it would surely be able to feel its spiritual fluctuations.

"Ice Emperor, I, the Golden-Patterned Ice Silkworm, have returned to seek revenge! Do you dare to show yourself? And Snow Emperor, why don't you come and pay homage to me, the true emperor of the far north, the unprecedented million-year-old soul beast of the Douluo Continent, now known as the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the God of Soul Beasts!" The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm used its immense spiritual power to imbue its voice into the distance.

Soul beasts with low cultivation levels or weak spiritual power generally cannot hear it, but the three Heavenly Kings of the Far North can definitely hear it clearly.
