Douluo Dalu II—Chapter 146: Immortal Herb Bows Its Head
Infernal Delicate Apricot had no time to care about what Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb was thinking. Its primary concern was to save its own life. That cold-faced woman was undoubtedly a very dangerous beast.
"What about the other immortal herbs? My patience is limited. Leaving with Huo Yuhao will be the best choice for you," Xue Di continued.
The remaining immortal herbs that had awakened their spiritual wisdom hesitated for a moment as if contemplating whether to agree to leave with the humans.
This was undoubtedly a difficult choice, but if they continued to stay here, it seemed inevitable that they would face death once Tang San's true descendants arrived.
Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb was stunned. It quickly looked at Huo Yuhao and said, "Huo Yuhao, you should take care of her. She's too overbearing. Such an overbearing soul beast will be punished by heaven! If you have any issues, we can discuss them peacefully."
Huo Yuhao thought that the Snow Emperor was originally the Leader of the Extreme North. Judging from the grand scene in the original story when the Snow Emperor returned and called her subordinates, it was clear that her prestige in the Extreme North was extremely high.
It was entirely normal for a superior like the Snow Emperor to be a little overbearing. After all, how could she establish her authority among her subordinates if she weren't?
Among soul beasts, strength was respected; the strong could not be provoked. Take Di Tian as an example. When he encountered the Bear King who disobeyed his orders, he didn't hesitate to attack and use the Bear King to establish his dominance.
Before he could respond, Xue Di looked directly at Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb and said coldly: "Heavenly punishment? I've survived six heavenly tribulations. If I'm to be punished by heaven for doing this, then let heaven's punishment come! I want to see how much this world cannot tolerate soul beasts!"
Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb was extremely shocked: "Six heavenly tribulations?"
In the world of soul beasts, surviving a heavenly tribulation every 100,000 years was necessary to continue strengthening oneself. What did six tribulations mean? It implied that this woman's cultivation exceeded 600,000 years!
Although the plant soul beasts present had greatly accelerated their cultivation with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, none of them had cultivation surpassing 600,000 years. For example, Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb itself was only 10,000 years old but had become a 100,000-year-old soul beast through talent and the aid of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
The gap between a 100,000-year-old soul beast and one with more than 600,000 years of cultivation was enormous.
Meanwhile, near the Extreme Cold Ice Spring, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass swayed and said, "You say you've survived six heavenly tribulations; that makes you very powerful.
I have no objection to leaving Huo Yuhao. I also want to see the outside world. Staying in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well is too boring. But if I become a soul ring and soul bone, wouldn't I die directly? Instead of this, I might as well fight with you and have a final fight."
Huo Yuhao stood up at this moment and explained, "You are all immortal herbs. How could I kill you? My purpose is simple: cooperation. Soul rings are a thing of the past. Now, the new era is led by the spirit soul!"
"Spirit Soul?" The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass looked confused, feeling as if it had fallen behind the times.
"Yes, spirit souls. Like Xue Di—she is my spirit soul now," Huo Yuhao patiently explained what a spirit soul was and the benefits of becoming one. Of course, he wouldn't turn every immortal herb into his spirit soul—only those suited for it.
For example, Infernal Delicate Apricot, a fire-attributed soul beast, was incompatible because Huo Yuhao himself had no fire-type martial soul. Turning Infernal Delicate Apricot into his spirit soul would be a poor match.
After some discussion, the immortal herbs accepted the concept of spirit souls. They deliberated briefly, and then Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb, representing all the herbs, said, "We can leave with you."
The immortal herbs weren't fools. Judging from the current situation, it was better to leave with Huo Yuhao than stay and face death at the hands of Tang San's descendants. Even if they became spirit souls, it didn't mean death.
Most importantly, the threat from the Snow Empress was imminent. If she got angry, none of the plant soul beasts would survive. They had cultivation skills but lacked combat experience. Even united, they wouldn't be a match for the Snow Empress.
Of course, these plant soul beasts also had their selfish motives. Huo Yuhao's ability to reveal so many secrets indicated he was extraordinary.
Could a Limit Douluo do such a thing? Without a doubt, impossible! That was a secret agreement between them and Tang San.
Moreover, with a nearly 700,000-year cultivation soul beast becoming Huo Yuhao's spirit soul, the other immortal herbs believed Huo Yuhao must have a connection to the God Realm. Perhaps only someone with ties to the God Realm could do such an incredible thing.
Huo Yuhao was not surprised by their decision.
After all, although some of these plant soul beasts had reached 100,000 years of cultivation, their actual strength was quite weak. Due to the "ripening" effect of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, their quality was often poor.
On the surface, they appeared as 100,000-year-old soul beasts, but their true strength was far below that level. Otherwise, with so many immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, there wouldn't be so few 100,000-year-old soul beasts with spiritual intelligence.
"Alright, give me all the treasures that can only be obtained after passing the tests," Huo Yuhao said confidently.
He was prepared to strengthen himself.
Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb sighed: "Okay, I'll give them to you. But are you sure you need the book Tang San left for future generations?"
"Of course I need it! Please give it to me as soon as possible," Huo Yuhao replied.
He believed the book contained the method for refining the Yin-Yang Fortune Pill. This pill was strictly selected by the Tang Sect and could significantly increase soul power with no side effects.
The Sun Moon Empire's pills weren't good!
The Tang Sect's pills were excellent!
For soul masters, increasing soul power was vital.
Of course, this didn't mean that soul guidance devices weren't important. In the Legend of Tang Sect Heroes, Huo Yuhao successfully developed the Death Light Tower by studying Ye Xishui's Death God Tower. Its attack power was comparable to a first-level god. The more powerful Transmission Tower was an upgraded version of the Death Light Tower.
However, the key point was that such devices required divine power to operate. Huo Yuhao lacked divine power, but Electrolux had some. According to the story, although Electrolux hadn't yet become a god, he was quite strong, making it relatively easy for him to generate something similar to divine power.
