Chapter 148: Demonic Eye Demon Tree (Subscribe!!!)
Over 5,000 years.
Hearing Eyes Sun Qi's words, Lin Tian's mouth twitched.
"Your spirit ring requirements are too exaggerated. I am a Spirit Emperor. Although I am only one step away from Spirit Saint, even if I break through to level 70 and become a Spirit Saint, at most I can only help you hunt Spirit Beasts that are 40,000 to 50,000 years old."
Now, the third ring already requires a Spirit Beast over 5,000 years old, which means he is acquiring the Spirit Master's spirit ring age limit one spirit ring position ahead of time.
In other words, Sun Qi might need to absorb a spirit ring of his seventh ring's standard by his sixth ring.
And for Sun Qi, reaching the sixth ring might not be fast, but it wouldn't be so slow that Lin Tian would break through to Spirit Douluo.
When Lin Tian went to Shrek to ask Golden Cudgel · Sun Qi about the technique of absorbing spirit rings beyond his level, he was already level 67.
At that time, Li Yuisong felt immense pressure upon seeing him, and couldn't even accurately determine his spirit power level, only vaguely estimating it to be above level 65.
In reality, Lin Tian was level 67 at the time.
After nearly two years, Lin Tian is already level 69, stuck at this level for a full year.
Not bad, being able to gain two levels a year at level 60.
His talent is undoubtedly top-tier on the entire World.
However, Lin Tian, stuck at level 69, feels that he still needs at least another year to possibly break through, and after reaching level 70, he estimates he will gain at most one level a year.
So, it will take him at least another ten years to break through to Spirit Douluo.
In ten years, there is a very high possibility that Eyes·Sun Qi will break through level 60.
"No way, Uncle, you will definitely be a Spirit Douluo before I'm a Spirit Emperor," Sun Qi said.
Lin Tian's talent is extremely exaggerated even by Sun Qi's knowledge; a formidable person who can gain two levels a year as a Spirit Emperoris definitely not an unknown figure.
The Eyes Main unit is difficult to investigate, but Sun Qi's other bodies can be investigated, especially the Twin Spirits body in Spirit Hall.
The results of the investigation surprised Sun Qi — Lin Tian was once the captain of the Spirit Hall team!
That's right, he was the captain of the Spirit Hall team two generations ago, and by the age of 24, he was already a mid-level Spirit King.
Unfortunately, he was just one person; all the other Spirit Hall team members of the same generation were Spirit Ancestors, and there wasn't a second Spirit King even at the age limit of 25.
An era where one stood out alone was certainly not dubbed the Golden Generation.
Not only that, but that era was also very chaotic...
"Alas, Uncle means to find you a bigger platform. Your talent shouldn't be wasted in Soto City."
When Sun Qi heard Lin Tian's words, he already guessed what he was thinking.
He just looked at his uncle in confusion, waiting for him to express his thoughts.
"Uncle wants you to enter Spirit Hall. Actually, Uncle was born at an unfortunate time. That era was too chaotic. For stability, Uncle could only avoid those prospects and return to Soto City to live out his days."
"But you are different!"
Lin Tian looked at Sun Qi, his tone serious.
"Sun Qi, you are just twelve years old now and already level 30. This cultivation speed is even faster than Uncle's back then. After joining Spirit Hall, you will certainly be able to make a name for yourself just like Uncle."
Lin Tian recounted his own experiences.
"At that time, Spirit Hall was in constant turmoil. The position of Supreme Pontiff, traditionally held by the Qian family of the Angel Clan, was taken over by the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong. The Supreme Pontiff Palace and the Elder Palace were divided, and the power struggle formed a huge vortex."
"Because I had to take care of you, I avoided that vortex."
Sun Qi nodded.
He could feel that.
When he was born, his parents met with an accident. Lin Tian at that time was not in his current reclusive state, but the captain of the Spirit Hall team.
However, Sun Qi knew nothing about it when he was young, which shows the extent of Lin Tian's protection over him.
"After you obtain your third spirit ring this time, I will use my connections to send you to the Spirit Hall Academy. There are still about two years until the next Spirit Master Grand Competition, and you still have a chance to enter the substitute team. Although a Spirit Eldercannot compete on stage in the Spirit Hall team, being a substitute is already an honor for someone your age."
Next time, Sun Qi will definitely be a full member.
The time after that, he can still participate!
By then, he will surely be the captain!
This was Lin Tian's idea: to let Sun Qi retrace his own path from back then, to carve out a future in the currently relatively clear environment.
He never regretted his choice back then; the turmoil in the Spirit Master's world was truly chaotic, a convergence of events. Now, everything is much better. After a series of changes, all major forces in the entire Spirit Master's world are licking their wounds and temporarily dare not show too much ambition.
There is no longer a situation where the Sect's top talents travel all over the World.
"As far as I know, even the young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been chosen early, but he has not been traveling on the World. Instead, he joined the Heaven Dou Royal team and wants to achieve results for this academy, which once had no outstanding performance in the Spirit Master Grand Competition."
Sun Qi was surprised that Lin Tian, despite being in Soto City, was so well-informed.
Although the latest news was that Yu Tianheng had already left Heaven Dou Royal Academy and joined Shrek, this had only happened recently.
"Let's go, let's hunt for a Spirit first."
Lin Tian, a level 69 Spirit Emperor, led Sun Qi through the Star Dou Great Forest. After searching for about a month, he found a Spirit Beastextremely suitable for Sun Qi.
The Demonic Eye Demon Tree!
That's right, it is the race from which the Ten Great Fierce Beasts of later generations, the Myriad Demon King, a plant-type Spirit Beast with over 500,000 years of cultivation, originated.
The Demonic Eye Demon Tree itself is just a rare high-level plant-type Spirit Beast, possessing a spiritual attribute. It is not truly top-tier on its own. The Myriad Demon King's emergence relied on an accompanying Immortal Herb, a heaven and earth treasures from the Immortal Herbcategory. Only after devouring the Immortal Herb did the Myriad Demon King defy fate and become the top king of plant-type Spirit Beasts.
Of course, while not top-tier, it was exceptionally compatible with Sun Qi.
The Demonic Eye Demon Tree, a spiritual type, and possessing demonic eyes, greatly supplemented Sun Qi's Eyes Spirit.
The Demonic Eye Demon Tree was 5,500 years old. The Eyes body absorbed it after enduring a period of torment.
"Phew~ This time it really took everything out of me."
Eyes Sun Qi had not taken the 10,000-year whale jelly. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he was saving it for a nutritious meal, so as not to develop resistance to the whale jelly and then be unable to utilize the nutritious meal.
Lin Tian had only recently told him that he was from Spirit Hall, but Sun Qi had already had his Twin Spirits body investigate beforehand.
Therefore, he consciously did not take the 10,000-year whale jelly, otherwise he could have broken through to level 30 three months earlier.
"How is your third Spirit Ability?"
Lin Tian checked Sun Qi's body before asking about the Spirit Ability's effect.
"My third Spirit Ability, Demonic Illusion, can construct an illusion as real as reality. I can pull the opponent's consciousness into it, experiencing real pain, and this pain will be fed back to the enemy's body through their consciousness."
Sun Qi took a deep breath.
He knew his third Spirit Ability was somewhat powerful.
Because if it were just what he said earlier, that would be one thing, but what if you add control over the flow of time?
"In the Demonic Illusion, the flow of time will far exceed that of the real World. An instant outside will be two days of torment within the illusion."
