The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is trying its best to seal the age limit of its soul rings, but because of the arrival of the divine tribulation, this sacrifice is too hasty. Unlike the original story, it has not made full preparations before taking action. Now it doesn't even know how many it can seal.
Fortunately, Tianlin had previously cultivated a golden body using celestial herbs, and with the immense spiritual power provided by the external soul bone, he was able to barely hold on. However, he didn't know how much longer he could last.
Everything was calculated correctly, except that the Snow Soul Divine Pill boosted the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm too much, prematurely triggering its divine tribulation and leaving the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm without even a chance to compress its soul power.
"what!!"
The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire echoed with Tianlin's mournful cry. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said anxiously, "Little Tian, you must hold on! Brother and you are inseparable now. If you die, it will be two lives lost!"
"I'm sorry, Brother Tianmeng, it's my fault. This time, I'm afraid I really can't hold on any longer!" Tianlin said apologetically, gradually losing consciousness.
"Forget it, this is my fate, Xiao Tian. You don't need to apologize. To be honest, if I hadn't asked you to come and save me, you wouldn't be in this situation now. But this time, I'm going to be your soulmate." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm sighed and lay down, too lazy to even bother with sealing the soul ring anymore.
"Little bug, are you giving up so easily? Also, many of your word choices are incorrect. You and Xiaotian should be considered brothers in misfortune, and 'shared fate' refers to husband and wife." Just then, a gentle voice echoed in Tianlin's spiritual sea.
This startled Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. It was now a million-year-old spiritual soul beast, and someone could directly communicate with its soul without it noticing.
What level is this? Even gods can't do this. Could it be that there are soul beasts that are tens of millions of years old in this world?
"Who's there? Come out here, don't scare me, I'm not easily frightened." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm mustered its courage and said, but its trembling tone made everyone feel its fear.
"Don't be afraid, I mean no harm." Tianlin's Holy Spirit Pearl shone with a golden light, and at this moment, a beautiful woman with a human head and a snake's body appeared in Tianlin's spiritual sea.
"A snake-type soul beast? What kind of soul beast are you? I've never seen one before. And why are you in Xiao Tian's spiritual sea?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked in succession.
The woman simply smiled calmly, “Soul Beast? I am not one of your Soul Beasts. I am a descendant of Nuwa, or more precisely, a descendant of Nuwa. The Holy Spirit Pearl in Xiaotian’s hand is the place where the sacred souls of our Nuwa clan reside, and I am the oldest soul sleeping within the Holy Spirit Pearl.”
"Nuwa? What's that again? A deity?" Tianmeng Bingcan asked.
"I suppose so. They're just slightly stronger than the gods here. Even the goddess Nuwa could probably destroy yours with a single magical spell..."
The descendant of Nuwa was speaking when Tianmeng Ice Silkworm interrupted him, saying, "Are you trying to say that one move can destroy the entire continent? I don't believe such a ridiculous thing."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was utterly disdainful; it hated people who boasted the most.
The descendant of Nuwa was not angry, but said, "You are right, this is indeed too absurd. How could Nuwa's attack be so low-level? I mean, she could destroy your entire God Realm with one strike, not the small Douluo Continent that is like dust."
Chapter 124 Holy Spirit Realm Million-Year Soul Rings and Soul Bones
"Are you kidding me? Do you know what the God Realm is like? There are several God Kings, dozens of main gods, and countless second-level and third-level gods there. Even the weakest of them are a hundred times stronger than the Limit Douluo on the continent." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked tremblingly, because what this descendant of Nuwa said was too terrifying for it to believe.
“Since I came to this world with the Holy Spirit Pearl, I have roughly sensed what you call the aura of a God-King. It is precisely because I understand this that I made this judgment. Although I am a descendant of Goddess Nuwa, my power at my peak was far less than a fraction of what she possessed. Even so, to be honest, I still feel that the God-King level power you speak of is not that impressive.” The descendant of Nuwa spoke calmly, but her tone made Tianmeng Ice Silkworm unconsciously believe her words.
She was simply too confident; that air of complete disregard for the God King couldn't be faked.
"So, you can save Xiaotian? And since Xiaotian has obtained your Holy Spirit Pearl, can he grow to the level of the Goddess Nuwa you mentioned?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked hopefully. If it were true, it would be a huge win.
But Nuwa's descendant immediately poured cold water on it, shaking his head and saying, "Reaching Nuwa's level? That's impossible. The Holy Spirit Pearl is just one of the goddess's magical artifacts. Even if it's developed to its limit, it still won't reach her level."
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was somewhat disappointed, but then a sentence from Nuwa's descendant pulled it back from its despondency: "Don't be so obviously disappointed. Although Little Tian may not grow to possess the great power of the Empress, it is still possible for him to reach my level."
"Since arriving in this world, the Holy Spirit Pearl has adapted to its rules and begun to condense its divine position on its own. I am the examiner and guide for Xiaotian's future attainment of a divine position. This divine position is far more advanced than the God King position you mentioned. You don't need to worry about making the wrong bet!"
"That's wonderful! Please save Xiao Tian then." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's hope was rekindled. It wasn't greedy to begin with; it would be enough for Tian Lin to inherit a first-level god position in the future.
Now that there's a potential super-god-king level godhood in the making, what is there to worry about?
The descendant of Nuwa smiled slightly and said, "Alright, but this is the only time I can help him. By the way, little bug, don't tell Xiaotian about my affairs for now. I will show myself to meet him when he officially begins his assessment."
"Okay, I understand!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded repeatedly. It dared not disobey this unfathomable descendant of the goddess Nuwa, otherwise it would be too unjust to be turned into a roasted silkworm by her.
The figure of Nuwa's descendant merged into the Holy Spirit Pearl once again. At this moment, the Holy Spirit Pearl emitted a dazzling light, and the Holy Breath Barrier began to change, becoming not only more sacred but also continuously expanding in range.
The entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was enveloped within it. Under the protection of this barrier, the herbs began to grow at an accelerated pace. Some herbs that would normally take one or two years to mature immediately entered the mature stage.
"What incredible vitality! Little Tian's Holy Breath Barrier has evolved into a Holy Spirit Domain!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed joyfully.
"Little bug, I have sealed your soul ring's lifespan for 700,000 years, leaving you with 200,000 years. If Xiao Tian only has 100,000 years of energy left, he should be able to withstand the Holy Spirit Domain," the descendant of Nuwa transmitted telepathically.
"I understand, but my sealing technique isn't very refined. I'm afraid the energy from two hundred thousand years will gradually dissipate," the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm said awkwardly. It had only just surpassed one million years and hadn't had time to learn anything yet.
"Then remind Xiaotian to focus on his cultivation. As his level increases, his soul rings will gradually be unsealed. Alternatively, find other ways to utilize this excess power. Otherwise, this overflowing energy will only be wasted. Besides the sword and the spirit pearl, there is another thing that came into this world with Xiaotian. It will be Xiaotian's greatest test in the future. Remember, you must urge Xiaotian on and make sure he doesn't slack off," the descendant of Nuwa warned.
"Big sister, what kind of test? Explain yourself!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked anxiously, but it received no reply. The descendant of Nuwa had probably entered the depths of the Holy Spirit Pearl again and begun to sleep.
At this moment, with the assistance of the Holy Spirit Domain, Tian Lin's physical and spiritual wounds were healing at an extremely rapid pace. Tian Lin, who had been unconscious, slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "Brother Tianmeng, are we dead?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm violently shook his sea of souls, "Die my ass! Your barrier has evolved into a domain. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and continue meditating. This time, we must absorb the soul ring and soul bone in one go."
"Okay, Brother Tianmeng!" Although Tianlin didn't know why his Holy Spirit Pearl had suddenly become so powerful, this was indeed a good opportunity.
He used meditation to absorb the soul rings and soul bones with all his might. Although it was still very painful, it was now within Tianlin's tolerance range. He could endure this little bit of pain!
His body was continuously damaged by the million-year-old soul ring, and then rapidly repaired by the Holy Spirit Domain. Under this cycle of torment, seven days had passed.
Finally, late on the seventh night, with a deafening roar, Tianlin's immense spiritual power instantly enveloped the entire Sunset Forest.
Within the forest, countless spirit beasts were terrified by this spiritual power. Even a spirit beast with a spiritual attribute of 100,000 years might not possess such immense spiritual power. They were all speculating whether some ferocious beast from the Star Dou Great Forest had come to inspect the area.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was extremely excited. "Haha, Little Tian, you succeeded! My million-year soul ring and million-year soul bone have perfectly merged with you. From now on, you will definitely be able to become the strongest together with your brother!"
"That's right, thank you so much, Brother Tianmeng!" Tianlin looked up at the sky. These past few days had been the most painful time of his life. Now that the bitterness was over, a tear slid down his cheek.
"Xiao Tian, what's wrong? Is it because you've been in too much pain these past few days? This is something you have to go through to become a strong person. Actually, you should be happy now. Do you know how strong your mental power is now? Although you can't use most of it due to level restrictions, killing ordinary Soul Emperors or even Soul Saints with weaker mental power is very easy for you now!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm comforted her.
Tianlin shook his head. "No, Brother Tianmeng, those pains aren't worth my tears. What truly puts me at ease is the mountain that has been weighing on my shoulders all along: the Spirit Hall. I've always worried that I won't be able to protect my family and friends from them in the future, but now, I'm not afraid at all."
"Whether it's the Spirit Hall or the two great empires, come on then!"
"Xiao Tian, what's there to be afraid of? Don't forget, we have a bigger goal." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't take the Spirit Hall seriously at all, after all, it knew that the Holy Spirit Pearl contained a soul that was even higher than a God King.
Even if she cannot help Tianlin take action, she can guide him to become a god. Once Tianlin successfully inherits the godhood, the Douluo Continent and even the God Realm will find no power to stop him.
"Brother Tianmeng, you're right. I was too narrow-minded." Tianlin wiped away his tears and smiled slightly. He had completely regained his composure.
He then sat down cross-legged and began to organize his soul power. With a soul ring and soul bone that were millions of years old, how could his soul power not have made any progress? He discovered that he had already broken through level 50, but he would not know the exact level until he obtained his fifth soul ring.
Chapter 125 Million-Year Soul Skill
As the night passed, Tianlin opened his eyes to the rising sun, and at the same time opened his left hand. The Holy Spirit Pearl floated quietly on his palm, with a white-gold halo rotating around the pearl.
At first glance, it looks no different from a ten-year spirit ring, but who would have thought that this is an unprecedented million-year spirit ring on the continent?
"Xiao Tian, in just one night, the soul power in your body has been completely stabilized. Your meditation technique is truly amazing," said Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
“Of course, this is the meditation method of the Nuwa clan. Oh, by the way, you don’t know who Nuwa is, do you? Let me tell you, she is an extremely powerful deity,” Tianlin said with a smile.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm didn't reply. It not only knew about this, but it had also met this descendant of the goddess Nuwa. However, it couldn't say it yet. To prevent itself from accidentally letting something slip, it had to change the subject and ask, "By the way, Little Tian, what skills did my soul rings and soul bones provide you?"
Tianlin was speechless. "Brother Tianmeng, you didn't even know about the soul rings and soul bones you provided me?"
"Nonsense, I can guess about soul bones, but soul rings are different soul skills born from each person's martial soul. How could I possibly guess that? Don't keep me in suspense, just tell me."
“Alright, your million-year cultivation is indeed impressive. Your soul rings and soul bones each provided me with four soul skills, and they are all quite useful.” Tianlin stopped keeping me in suspense and began to explain.
"First, there's the million-year-old skull, which granted me four skills: Soul Reading, Mind Control, Mental Interference Domain, and Future Prediction."
“Soul reading is a more domineering soul skill than mind reading. Mind reading can only tell you what the opponent is thinking, but soul reading can read the entire past of the opponent’s life, and can even tamper with the opponent’s memories. However, this move can only be used when the opponent is mentally weak, otherwise it will be resisted by the opponent, and the success rate will not be so high.”
"Mind Control, as the name suggests, is a soul skill that controls the opponent. Anyone hit by this move will become my puppet for a short period of time. The Mental Interference Domain is a wide-range support skill. Under this domain, the opponent will lose their accuracy due to mental instability."
"The last one, the ability to foresee the future, is the most terrifying. It has two uses. The first is as the name suggests: predicting future events and preparing in advance. The second is to set an attack in the future. For example, if I set the first soul skill of my magic sword in advance at a certain location, with the activation time being the third day in the future, then this move will attack at the time I set. Using both uses together maximizes its power. Of course, this move also has a weakness: it cannot be used continuously. After each use, it has a long cooldown period, the specific time depending on the range of the foreseeability."
After Tianlin finished speaking, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stared at him in disbelief for a while. All four were auxiliary skills, which was similar to its lack of combat skills, but these four skills were just too terrifying.
"Haha, as expected of my million-year soul bone, it's really amazing." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was extremely proud and continued with great interest, "Don't stop, keep talking, what about my soul ring, what skills did it provide you?"
Tianlin nodded. "The Soul Ring has unlocked my immortal techniques. Although it's not a Five Elements Immortal Technique, it has unlocked a more precious Yin-Yang Immortal Technique because of your spiritual abilities. The so-called physical attributes belong to the Five Elements, while spiritual attributes are divided into Yin and Yang. Brother Tianmeng, your spiritual power is Yang, therefore, I have unlocked the Yang-type immortal techniques."
"The first is Holy Breath Healing, a wide-range healing soul skill. Its healing ability is no weaker than that of Nine Heart Begonia. At this rate, I think Senior Ye Lingling can retire."
"The second is the Five Elements Purification, which is a skill to expel evil spirits and has a strong suppressive effect on evil spirit masters."
"The third is the Gathering Breath Returning Soul, the effect of which is resurrection. It can revive people who have just died, and the only cost is my soul power."
"The fourth move is not a magic technique, but a divine summoning technique—the God of War. Legend has it that the Goddess Nuwa once subdued the God of War and sealed his power within the Holy Spirit Pearl. This move uses your soul ring to temporarily break the seal. The strength of the God of War after the seal is broken is linked to my current strength. At my current level, the power of this God of War should be above the Soul Emperor level, about one major stage stronger than me. As I become stronger, his power will also increase."
Four more soul skills that are absolutely outrageous. The first two are acceptable, but what the hell is this Gathering Breath and Returning Soul? It's a skill that goes against the laws of the world!
Gu Hui knew that even gods had to pay an extremely high price to revive someone, but the price for this Soul Gathering and Return was only Tian Lin's soul power.
And that Martial God Summoning move was equivalent to more than doubling Tianlin's strength in an instant.
Now, Tianmeng Bingcan completely believes what that descendant of Nuwa said. Nuwa's strength must be tens of millions of times greater than that of the God King. Therefore, even if it is just a magic weapon she left behind, it is far superior to the so-called super artifacts of this world.
"So the key to unlocking the Five Elements Immortal Technique is the Holy Spirit Pearl. How could I forget? Among the Three Emperors of the Immortal Sword, Nuwa is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of magic. That's only natural." Tianlin secretly lamented his own stupidity. However, now that the method to unlock the immortal technique had been found, Tang San's Buddha's Wrath Lotus was no longer of any value.
In any case, what's truly important are the ordinary hidden weapons. As long as you have money and materials, you can mass-produce them by finding a group of blacksmiths. As for talismans, Tianlin has to make them himself. Tianlin can't spend all his time on them. Once he unlocks the other Five Elemental Immortal Techniques, he will only need to make high-level talismans.
"Alright, Brother Tianmeng, you understand my soul skills now, right? It's time for us to leave this Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Thanks to your help, my soul power has broken through level fifty. Let's hunt for the fifth soul ring of the Demon Sword in this Sunset Forest. What do you think my current limit is? My Holy Spirit Domain, although it hasn't regressed into a barrier, seems less powerful than before!" M.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm remained silent. Of course, it was that descendant of Nuwa who forcibly boosted your power a few nights ago; it's just returned to normal now. "Little Tian, although your Holy Spirit Domain isn't as powerful anymore, don't forget, you absorbed my million-year-old skull. Even if ninety percent of that soul bone was used to amplify the million-year-old soul ring, even the remaining ten percent would be enough for you to absorb a high-level soul ring without exploding and dying."
"Brother Yi, you'll definitely have no problem absorbing soul beasts that are 40,000 to 60,000 years old. It's a piece of cake!"
"Brother Tianmeng, where did you learn Cantonese?" Tianlin broke out in a cold sweat, his focus seemingly completely off track.
After their exchange, Tianlin walked out of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with satisfaction. This time, he didn't need anyone's help. Ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts would be no match for him now, and there were almost no hundred-thousand-year-old beings in the Sunset Forest. Here, he could walk around with impunity.
Just as Tianlin set off, in Soto City, at Shrek Academy, Flander, Zhao Wuji, and the Shrek Seven Devils also packed their bags and prepared to leave.
Qin Ming came here specifically not just to see his teachers, but his real purpose was to point out a clear path for Flander.
Because Shrek Academy was unable to participate in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament, Qin Ming suggested that they join an advanced soul master academy; otherwise, the little monsters would lose this great opportunity for training.
However, this time he did not invite them to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, because even if they were admitted, they could only become a team and be guaranteed a spot in the finals, and would not be able to play in the early stages.
This was suggested by everyone. The most important purpose of this academy competition is to allow young soul masters to continuously hone their skills in soul battles, fight against various types of soul masters, and grow. If they are directly guaranteed a spot in the finals, then the most important meaning of participating in this competition is lost.
Therefore, what Qin Ming secured for the Royal Fighting Team was a spot in the second team. As for the original second team, they were so hopeless that they were happy to be guaranteed a spot in the finals without even having to fight, so they had no reason to complain.
Flanders shared the same thought as Qin Ming; he wouldn't even accept the opportunity for direct admission if it were offered to him.
So, at Qin Ming's suggestion, Flander decided to take the little monsters to Tiandou City to try their luck and see which academy would accept them.
Chapter 126 The Demon Sword's Fifth Soul Ring: Light Scale Flying Fish
"Xiao Tian, you've been searching for two days now. What kind of soul beast are you looking for?"
After wandering around Sunset Forest for two days, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was getting impatient. Now that it had become a smart soul ring, it no longer had to worry about being discovered, so it really wanted to go out and see the human world.
After all, although it is very old, for hundreds of thousands of years it has either been sleeping, running for its life, or being used as a power bank. It has never had a single day of freedom.
"I need to find a water-attribute soul beast. The elemental power in my magic sword is somewhat unbalanced, and the water attribute is too weak. It must be replenished. Moreover, my fifth soul skill also needs the water attribute, which is related to my future 100,000-year soul ring," Tianlin said with a smile.
"A 100,000-year soul ring? You're still eyeing that Earth Behemoth, huh? But I'm very interested in what your fifth soul skill is that could help you hunt for a 100,000-year soul ring." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's interest was piqued, so she stopped urging him.
In fact, they had seen many water-attribute soul beasts in the past few days, but in Tianlin's opinion, none of them were old enough. The oldest was only a little over 10,000 years old. With Tianlin's current physique, he could withstand soul rings of about 40,000 to 60,000 years.
