The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

It was the corpse of a headless soul beast, sunken in a pit. Its head was shattered, and blood and brain matter were splattered everywhere; it was a truly gruesome sight.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but swallow, followed by a strong feeling of nausea, and his stomach churned.

Having grown up in the White Tiger Duke's mansion, he lacked experience and had never seen such a bloody scene before.

"Is this a soul beast?" He took a deep breath, and as his soul power circulated, a cool sensation came through his mind, calming his emotions considerably.

Mustering his courage, he suppressed his nausea and examined the headless soul beast's corpse.

However, only the headless soul beast's corpse remained, consisting of its body covered in brownish-yellow fur and its incomplete limbs.

Huo Yuhao didn't know many kinds of soul beasts, and after examining the headless soul beast corpse for a while, he still couldn't identify the species it belonged to.

He now vaguely realized that hunting a soul beast to absorb a soul ring might not be so easy.

Composing himself, he kept his mind focused and continued to venture deeper into the Starry Sky Forest from this direction.

Right in front of the headless soul beast corpse, he discovered several more charred soul beast remains.

The unknown is often the most terrifying.

Even though Huo Yuhao's mental fortitude far surpassed that of his peers, he became extremely nervous at this moment.

"Hiss hiss hiss—" A series of rustling sounds of leaves rang out, and his body, which was highly tense, trembled slightly.

But before he could react, a rich, sweet fragrance wafted towards him.

Huo Yuhao felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and his consciousness began to blur. Before he completely lost consciousness, the last thing he saw was a large, pink snake that kept growing larger in his eyes.

At the same time, a boy and a girl, who appeared to be around fifteen or sixteen years old, arrived closely behind. Noticing Huo Yuhao, who had inhaled the poisonous fog and fallen unconscious, the girl quickly stopped her rapid movement.

"Beibei! Stop chasing that datura snake, save the people first!"

The girl's long black hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down her back. Her light blue outfit accentuated her budding figure, making her look youthful and vibrant.

She had almond-shaped eyes, large and bright, a pert nose, and a nearly perfect oval face. Her beautiful face was filled with anxiety.

The boy he called Beibei was even taller and slender, with short, dark blue hair that shone like jewels. Although he was young, he gave off a refined and scholarly air.

He quickly approached Huo Yuhao and carefully examined his back with his soul power. The seriousness on his handsome face slowly melted away, and he nodded to the girl, reassuring her, "Don't worry, Xiaoya, he only inhaled the poisonous mist of that thousand-year-old Datura serpent. He's fine."

"It seems we have no choice but to take him away from the Star Dou Great Forest for the time being." Although Bei Bei was smiling wryly, her gaze towards Xiao Ya softened even more.

The reason he liked Xiaoya so much was because of her kindness that came from the bottom of her heart.

"He got caught up in this mess because we were chasing this datura snake, so we can't just leave him here," Xiaoya scoffed.

"Anyway, there's still more than a month before school starts."

Aren't these two Tang Ya and Bei Bei, who met Huo Yuhao in the original novel? However, due to Xu Zihuang's appearance, the plot has changed once again.

Bei Bei carried Huo Yuhao on her back, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings, and walked with Tang Ya toward the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Beibei, this little brother didn't come to the Star Dou Great Forest all by himself to get a spirit ring, did he?" Tang Ya, who was following behind Beibei, looked at Huo Yuhao's youthful face and said thoughtfully.

Beibei nodded. "Probably. I vaguely sensed that he possessed soul power, but it was very weak, and he was all alone. Judging from his clothes, he probably didn't come from a very good family, otherwise he wouldn't be without a teacher or elder accompanying him."

With his keen observation skills, he noticed many details from the very first time he met Huo Yuhao.

Tang Ya stuck out her tongue and said, "You have soul power, why don't you absorb it into our Tang Sect?"

Beibei glanced helplessly at the carefree Tang Ya, "Let's take another look later. We need to know his background and character."

Chapter 52 The Sea of ​​Spirit and Successful Fusion of the Third Soul Ring

A pair of deep purple eyes slowly opened in a pure white space, creating a strong sense of incongruity that was both abrupt and harmonious.

Within this space, there are countless points of light, stretching as far as the eye can see, yet the line of sight seems to extend to every corner of this space.

Suddenly, the space was filled with turbulent winds and clouds, and beams of golden light pierced through it.

These golden rays converged into ten enormous golden halos that floated in mid-air, and all the points of light in the space seemed to grow much larger because of their appearance.

Ten golden halos began to slowly rotate, each containing a milky-white glow. The halos grew stronger and stronger, gradually transforming into ten enormous spheres of light that floated there. The height and volume of the entire space increased many times over.

Xu Zihuang's consciousness gradually cleared, and at the same time, the light spots that were suspended in the air sank below, gathering into a pale golden ocean, carrying the ten huge golden-white light spheres.

Xu Zihuang subconsciously looked down and saw that he was standing naked above the golden ocean, between the ten golden-white orbs.

"Hehe, I'll never call you 'Little' Zihuang again. Although your assets can't compare to mine, you're still considered exceptionally well-off among humans." As Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice rang out, a crystal-clear silkworm instantly materialized in front of Xu Zihuang.

It was clearly the form of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's original body.

Those small, gleaming golden eyes swept over Xu Zihuang, revealing a somewhat anthropomorphic lewdness.

Xu Zihuang had no habit of liking being stared at naked by other men. He covered his lower abdomen with his hands and said irritably, trying to suppress his disgust, "Hurry up and get me some clothes."

"Look how anxious you are, kid." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm chuckled, and specks of golden light quickly flashed on Xu Zihuang's body, transforming into a close-fitting black outfit.

"This is in your spiritual sea. What form you want to take here in the future is entirely up to you. You'll get used to it. But I must say, Zihuang, your talent is truly remarkable. I don't even need to put in much effort to expand it. Moreover, this spiritual sea is filled with a rich life force, which not only stabilized my spiritual consciousness but also allowed me to condense my physical form in one fell swoop."

"See these ten orbs of light? This is the essence of my million years of cultivation, my primordial power and spiritual power. Just now, when you absorbed that guy's soul ring, I broke a seal. Your first and second soul rings are now both five thousand years old. How about it? Have you seen how powerful I am?" The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm proudly raised its round head, which looked chubby.

Xu Zihuang gave Tianmeng Ice Silkworm a look that said, "You're really great!" Then he looked around and examined the situation within his spiritual sea.

His pupils contracted sharply when he noticed the small ball of light in the corner, which was flashing a regular silvery-white light.

His guess was indeed correct.

"Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm".

"Call me Brother Tianmeng."

“Okay, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.” Xu Zihuang replied perfunctorily, but he strangely sensed that something seemed to be gestating within that small, silvery-white ball of light. This was likely related to the Silver-Scaled White Whale that had willingly become his soul ring.

"Was that silvery-white ball of light already present in my sea of ​​consciousness?"

Hmph, fine, I'm not going to hold it against you. But later, I'll definitely use my charm to win you over.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm grumbled to itself for a moment, not dwelling on Xu Zihuang's form of address. Its wriggling, glowing body revealed a hint of apprehension in its small golden eyes as it looked at the silvery-white sphere of light in the corner.

“I saw some of your memories before. You should know about the legend of auspicious beasts, right? Two auspicious beasts can never appear on the same continent at the same time. There is an auspicious beast in the Star Dou Great Forest of Douluo Continent, and that silver-scaled white whale should be an auspicious beast from the ocean. The spirit of that silver-scaled white whale resides in that silver-white ball of light, but it is severely injured.”

"When I just broke the seal, most of the leaked primal power was actually absorbed by this thing. Otherwise, the age of your first two spirit rings could at least be raised to the same level as your third spirit ring."

At this point, it also felt a bit depressed.

It's not a big deal that its own source power can enhance Xu Zihuang's strength, since it needs Xu Zihuang to possibly break free from the limitations of soul beasts and reach that level to obtain immortality.

But if its spiritual consciousness were taken away by the silver-scaled white whale for no reason, it would be hard for it to accept. Yet, it had absolutely no way to deal with the silver-scaled white whale's spiritual consciousness.

Of course, it would never admit to this.

Xu Zihuang withdrew his gaze thoughtfully. He had obtained the information he wanted and did not intend to continue immersing his consciousness in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Although the place where he absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was secluded, he couldn't be sure that he wouldn't encounter any special soul beasts.

The moment he had such a thought, his figure vanished from the spot.

Only Tianmeng Bingcan's depressed and resentful voice echoed in Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea.

"Don't go, Zihuang. I haven't told you my story yet! Aren't you curious why I, a million-year-old soul beast, would appear in the Star Dou Great Forest, and why I chose to become your intelligent soul ring?"

Xu Zihuang, whose consciousness had returned to his physical body, looked around with delight. He was now underground in the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, or more precisely, in the tunnel that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had burrowed underground.

Surrounded by complete darkness, the three magnificent purple spirit rings that pulsated slowly around him stood out starkly against the backdrop of darkness.

While the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is indeed a powerful soul beast, the soul ring it produces after its death ultimately falls into the category of thousand-year soul rings.

Thanks to the power of his second martial soul, the Purple Thunder Dragon, the resentment within his soul ring was easily erased. Furthermore, his physical abilities were more than capable of withstanding the impact of the eight-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger soul ring.

From the moment the spirit rings were fused until the end, the entire process was smooth.

After nearly a year of cultivation, his accumulated soul power finally burst forth after he obtained his third soul ring. Even with the limitation that cultivation speed would drop significantly after level 30 due to the ultimate martial soul, his soul power broke through four levels and reached level 34.

However, what made Xu Zihuang most happy was his newly acquired third soul skill.

As expected of a soul ring from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

With this third soul skill, his strength underwent another qualitative leap.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm continued to chatter in Xu Zihuang's mind.

Although it is usually carefree, it also has a sensitive side. It can sense that Xu Zihuang's attitude towards it is cold, so it wants to gradually deepen its connection with Xu Zihuang.

Having seen parts of Xu Zihuang's memories, it naturally understood the hatred Xu Zihuang carried, and it could not help but understand Xu Zihuang's cold attitude.

Trust needs to be cultivated.

“Speak, I’m listening.” Xu Zihuang got up and climbed up the passage to the ground, finally responding to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.

He had indeed felt the benefits brought by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, so there was no need to dwell too much on what had happened before.

Although his personality makes it difficult for him to truly accept someone, he doesn't mind reciprocating as long as Tianmeng Bingcan is wholeheartedly concerned for him.

Chapter 53 The Dread Dragon and a Chance Encounter

A clearing on the outskirts of the Starry Sky Forest.

The ground suddenly trembled without warning, and cracks appeared on the previously flat ground. The cracks gradually widened, and then shattered with a crash, revealing a purple-eyed youth emerging from them amidst a cloud of dust.

It was Xu Zihuang who had successfully fused with the Dark Demon God Tiger Soul Ring.

Driven by the flow of qi, the smoke and dust drifted and moved, but at the moment they came into contact with Xu Zihuang's skin, they were blocked by a thin, pale golden film.

This pale golden membrane is the remains of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm after cultivating for a million years. Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has lost most of its power after losing its original body.

However, it still retains the effects of concealing one's presence and avoiding dust.

After absorbing his third spirit ring, Xu Zihuang grew taller, and his fair skin had a faint glow. Combined with his flawless and exquisite features, he was incredibly attractive to any woman.

The deep purple eyes, gleaming with a sharp light, had lost their previous weariness, and even the impurities that had previously clung to her body had completely dissipated under the cleansing effect of the ice-attribute aura attached to the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Xu Zihuang brushed aside a strand of purple hair that was blocking his vision with his left hand, and looked up to check the sky.

He absorbed the Dark Demon God Tiger Soul Ring in the afternoon, and now it is early morning, which means that at least a day has passed.

"Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, how long did it take me to fuse with the Soul Ring before?"

"It seems to have taken seven hours." Xu Zihuang's initiative in speaking made Tianmeng Bingcan feel flattered, and she quickly replied.

Judging by Huo Yuhao's speed, he should have already arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xu Zihuang pondered for a moment, then his deep purple eyes suddenly turned into a brilliant gold, and he headed out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
