Inside the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors.
Dongfang Jing sat cross-legged on the cold mirror.
The endless reflections cast his image in all directions, extending to the very edge of sight.
He waited quietly for the Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor behind the mirror door.
Time passed second by second, and Dongfang Jing's thoughts drifted away.
He was curious about how his two older sisters would be teleported out when the time came.
Master Biji and Wang Qiu'er were originally turned into an egg.
As for Sister Yin, she turned into a grass seed.
Without exception, all of them who consumed the Mirror Spring of Light returned to their original, innate forms.
Dongfang Jing pondered to himself, "Bing'er's true form is the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion."
'But I remember scorpions are ovoviviparous...'
'What kind of person is Sister Xue'er, who is a goddess of ice and snow?'
Just as Dongfang Jing's thoughts drifted off to who-knows-where, a slight spatial fluctuation suddenly came from behind him.
He immediately turned his head to look.
There was no one there, only two storage rings lying quietly on the smooth, mirror-like floor.
And a giant, dark green egg, as tall as half an Oriental Mirror.
Beside the egg, a sphere of ice-blue light, constantly emitting a glow, floated.
Dongfang Jing stepped forward, bent down to pick up the two rings, and carefully put them away.
Then, his gaze fell on the dark green egg.
There's no doubt, Bing'er is definitely inside the egg.
Although Dongfang Jing couldn't figure out why scorpions hatch from eggs,
All I can say is that he should stay out of things concerning soul beasts.
Douluo Continent, isn't that amazing!
Dongfang Jing's gaze fell on the small ball of light again.
Then this must be Sister Xue'er.
He tried to reach out his hand and open his palm.
What appeared to be just a wisp of light was surprisingly held effortlessly in his palm.
After holding the ice-blue orb in his palm, Dongfang Jing's movements became much gentler.
After all, Sister Xue'er is in here.
He leaned back next to the huge, dark green scorpion egg.
The sensation on my hand was slightly cool yet strangely warm.
There was also a very regular heartbeat emanating from inside the sphere of light, causing a slight tremor.
He heard another heartbeat beside him.
That was the sound coming from inside the scorpion egg.
After they transform into this form, it will take them seven days to recover.
This was the case with Biji, Wang Qiu'er, and A Yin in the past.
Dongfang Jing closed her eyes, holding the ball of light in one hand and leaning against the giant egg, quietly feeling the heartbeats and warmth of her two older sisters.
His mind raced.
To be honest, the enhancement effect of this shimmering mirror spring on soul beasts seems rather elusive.
What Dongfang Jing was referring to was not simply the changes that occurred to the women.
Rather, it refers to the vast differences in these changes.
For example, the increase in cultivation level and soul power.
After consuming the Mirror Spring of Radiant Light, Biji's cultivation level increased by a full 50,000 years.
However, Ah Yin's soul power skyrocketed from zero to over ninety levels.
If roughly converted to the cultivation level of a soul beast, it would be around 100,000.
Another example is the new abilities acquired.
Brigitte activated the Phoenix bloodline and also gained a sliver of the ability to reverse time; each of these abilities is nothing short of miraculous.
Although A-Yin did not master this type of rule-based ability, it still brought about a tremendous qualitative change.
But what about Wang Qiu'er?
As an imperial auspicious beast, she is only five thousand years old, but her strength is equivalent to that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
After consuming the Mirror Spring, her cultivation level did not increase much.
As for herself, she transformed from a three-eyed golden lion into a golden dragon, and her spiritual power increased.
But apart from that, he did not gain any other abilities.
No matter how you look at it, there are obvious differences between the three.
Surely the strength of this increase can't be related to one's own talent and luck, right?
If that's the case...
As an auspicious beast, Wang Qiu'er is bound to be the one who receives the greatest improvement.
But that's not the case.
Suddenly, Dongfang Jing recalled the words that the goddess sister had said in the spiritual world not long ago.
"I will use my divine power to grant my chosen successors the abilities they desire most at the moment they most yearn for them."
Dongfang Jing began to put himself in the shoes of the three women, putting himself in their shoes.
Brigitte
She possesses unparalleled healing abilities, yet she is a support-type soul beast that is not good at combat.
She was compassionate, yet she could only watch helplessly as her compatriots were slaughtered, and sometimes, due to the severity of their injuries, she was powerless to save them.
What she desires most is perhaps not just unparalleled healing abilities, but a powerful force capable of protecting her compatriots and confronting enemies head-on!
Ah Yin,
At that time, all I could think about was how to collect the debt from Tang Hao.
But she sacrificed her cultivation, turning back into Blue Silver Grass, and was powerless, completely helpless.
She may have prayed countless times in her heart, hoping to gain power.
Finally, there's Qiu'er.
As an imperial auspicious beast, she was carefully protected by the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest from the day she was born, and her strength was far superior to that of other soul beasts of the same age.
She didn't have an overly urgent desire to improve her own cultivation level.
But if she can become stronger, she will definitely strive to become a stronger person.
In Wang Qiu'er's mind, what is the strongest?
It's a dragon, of course!
Although Di Tian was the Black Dragon King, how confident was Wang Qiu'er?
She possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, therefore she believes that, apart from the Dragon God, the most powerful must be the Golden Dragon King, who can break through all laws with sheer force!
"It seems…that's really the case…" Dongfang Jing murmured softly.
This explanation is the most reasonable.
The extent of personal improvement and the abilities gained after consuming the Micro-Light Mirror Spring are closely related to the user's deepest and strongest desires.
'Then what do Sister Bing'er and the others desire most in their hearts?'
Dongfang Jing's gaze couldn't help but fall on the huge dark green scorpion egg beside him.
A somewhat improper thought began to sprout in my mind.
'Speaking of which, it seems like Sister Bing'er likes Sister Xue'er, right?'
Is she thinking about how to get her hands on Sister Xue'er all the time?
In the end, wouldn't she gain some kind of ability to forcibly change people's hearts, or to bewitch all living beings?
Dongfang Jing shook his head, dispelling this absurd conjecture.
No matter what, it shouldn't be that bad.
She probably craved greater power to cope with the heavenly tribulation.
Just then, a slight stinging sensation came from deep within his mind.
Dongfang Jing's brows furrowed, his temples throbbed, and a few fine beads of sweat even appeared on his forehead.
Staying in the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors continuously drained his mental energy.
He examined himself and found that his mental energy was almost depleted.
Dongfang Jing stood up and carefully held the ball of light in his palm.
He then activated his soul power to slowly lift the dark green scorpion egg on the ground, making it float beside him.
Having done all this, he then had a thought and left the Hall of a Thousand Mirrors.
