Teacher?
The Quasi-Gods present all looked at Han Tianyi in surprise.
Su Ming was Han Tianyi's disciple?
None of them knew about this.
Qian Gu Dieding also frowned.
Han Tianyi was a top-tier expert of the Body Sect and would definitely back Su Ming.
But he hadn't expected Su Ming's relationship with Han Tianyi to be this close.
No wonder Zhen Hua had suddenly forged the remaining Heaven Refinement metals for Han Tianyi.
"Hmph, we need to research the dragon souls. Are you sure you want him to stay here?" Qian Gu Dieding said.
Han Tianyi looked at Su Ming.
"What do you think?"
Su Ming's eyes flickered as he glanced at the numerous Quasi-Gods.
"I'll leave."
He wasn't particularly concerned about the secrets of the Ice and Fire Dragon King souls.
For these Quasi-Gods to research anything significant, the cost would be great.
What was buried here were the corpses of two Dragon King-level entities!
These two Dragon Kings were suspected to be among the nine Dragon Kings who followed the Dragon God in battle back in the day.
The dragon souls were still present; what if they could mobilize the power of the corpses?
Compared to exploring, Su Ming preferred to reap the benefits later.
After all, Han Tianyi was here. Whatever was researched, Su Ming could simply ask Han Tianyi directly.
"If there are any gains, I'll replicate them in Douluo 1 and Douluo 2."
As for Douluo 3?
"I can go to other futures to 'fish' them out."
Moreover, Su Ming still had two immortal herbs to digest and temporarily lacked the mental capacity to research the dragon souls here.
Su Ming was placing increasing importance on the idea of delving into other futures to 'fish' out things from those other futures.
With the two great immortal herbs obtained, he felt he was getting very close to attempting this method.
Feng Wuyu left with Su Ming.
Su Ming returned to Shrek Academy.
There should still be one Quasi-God on the continent who hadn't gone to the Ice Fire Two Eyes.
Long Yueyue.
The Light and Darkness Douluo, whose talent could be said to have reached an extreme. Her twin Martial Spirits were the Light Holy Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon respectively. It was unclear if they possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
If the Trinity couldn't transmit matter, Su Ming would have liked to有机会 get a paternity test done to see if Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Long Yueyue were related by blood.
"Now the only remaining Quasi-God is at Shrek, and with Yali here who completely counters Evil Spirit Masters, this is the safest place."
This was his reason for returning to Shrek.
The Federation's waters were too deep; Su Ming felt he couldn't guarantee at all that the Holy Spirit Cult hadn't received the news.
With the Quasi-Gods gathered at the Ice Fire Two Eyes, defenses across the Federation were definitely at their weakest. They might suffer attacks from the Holy Spirit Cult.
Thinking of this, Su Ming also reminded Zhen Hua to take precautions.
"Um, should we perform the sacrifice now?"
The Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew emerged from the storage spirit tool and spoke timidly.
"Right now."
Su Ming wasn't planning to break through to level 50 on his own.
From level 49 to 50, even for him, it would take a considerable amount of time to break through.
"Okay, I'll begin the sacrifice then."
"Wait, let me add another layer of buff."
Su Ming interrupted the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew.
He contacted Elder Feng, asking him to communicate with the Sea God Pavilion and inquire if he could make his breakthrough within the Sea God Pavilion.
Soon, Elder Feng sent a message back.
"Permitted."
Sea God Pavilion.
This was Su Ming's first time entering here.
Across all three eras, it was the first time.
"Uniquely endowed by nature."
The vitality of life here was so intense it reached its extreme; one could only say it truly deserved to be the Golden Ancient Tree, the core of life.
Not only that, but even the fluctuations of some of the world's laws became clearer here, thought processes became more active, and the qi, blood, and Spirit Power within his body grew restless.
"Cultivating here, forget the issue of lifespan increase, just the difficulty of cultivation alone can be reduced by at least ten percent."
"Su Ming, you can receive the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew's sacrifice here. The Sea God Pavilion has abundant life vitality; it might allow you to gain an extra level or two of Spirit Power."
Su Ming nodded.
"Thank you."
After expressing his thanks, he instructed the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew to begin the sacrifice.
The commotion of the sacrifice was suppressed within this Sea God Pavilion.
The Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew's true form was a green vine, but its core was actually the dewdrops on its leaf surface.
After the sacrifice, the spirit soul it became was also in the form of a dewdrop, essentially a drop of water.
Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness.
The Light Sphere tilted its head, looked at the new companion, and drooled.
The Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew had just entered Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness when it saw the Light Sphere drooling at it.
It originally wanted to teach the Light Sphere a lesson.
Although it was a senior, how could a low-level, low-intelligence spirit soul compare to it, a hundred-thousand-year spirit soul?
However, the moment this thought arose, it felt an immense pressure, a suppression of status.
Two slits appeared on the dewdrop, as if they were its small eyes, and the slits became perfectly round.
What kind of spirit soul is this?
It naturally felt a desire to submit to the other.
Was it a predator-prey relationship?
The Light Sphere now also noticed the new companion's cultivation level and wiped its drool.
"Welcome, welcome."
It took the lead in applauding.
It pulled out Chaos, who was still cultivating, to meet the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew.
"Hello."
The Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew took a deep breath and greeted the two spirit souls.
It had originally thought Su Ming's two spirit souls weren't very intelligent, but now it realized it was wrong.
A spirit master with a mental attribute would definitely absorb spirit souls proficient in mental power; having intelligence was normal.
It's just that this intelligence was a bit too high.
It felt the Light Sphere's spirituality was stronger than its own.
"Is the dewdrop your true form?" the Light Sphere asked curiously.
"More or less. At least my current spirit soul body is a dewdrop."
"Oh, so can you be considered a water droplet then?"
"Is there a reason for asking?"
The Light Sphere's eyes rolled as a plan formed in its mind.
"Yes, I have many delicious water droplets here that I can give you. Of course, if I give you water to drink, you have to let me lick you a couple of times too."
A blood-red Spirit Ring, only ten meters in diameter within the Sea God Pavilion, encircled Su Ming and slowly merged into his body.
Simultaneously, vast life vitality poured into his body.
Time passed.
After about five hours, five Spirit Rings arranged themselves outside Su Ming's body.
"A hundred-thousand-year fifth ring, truly enviable," Feng Wuyu said.
Su Ming's mental power sank into his Sea of Consciousness.
"Don't drink it."
Just as the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew was marveling at the water containing the power of time and wanted to taste it, Su Ming appeared to stop it.
Under the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew's puzzled gaze, Su Ming took away those time-water droplets and stuffed them into the Light Sphere's mouth.
"If you want to drink, I'll fetch some for you."
Earlier, the Light Sphere had racked its brains to spit out the time-water it hadn't fully digested yet from inside itself.
Of course, it did this secretly.
Su Ming extracted a tiny amount of time-water from the River of Time, materializing it in his Sea of Consciousness—only about two or three drops.
"Try it first. If you can withstand the time-water, I'll prepare a share for you in the future too."
The Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew took the time water and directly absorbed it into its body.
By the time it awoke, Su Ming was still waiting in front of it.
"You digested it?"
Su Ming's eyes moved slightly.
He could no longer sense any fluctuation of the time-water from the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew.
"This time-water is of great use to me!"
"Don't worry, there will be no shortage in the future," Su Ming laughed.
The fact that the Gaze Through Autumn Water Dew could fuse with the time-water was good news for him.
And this idea wasn't something he had foreseen long ago; it was discovered by the Light Sphere.
"Light Sphere, credit where it's due."
"Also, since you've joined the team, you need a name. What do you think of 'Spring Autumn'?"
