"Tianyang, although the Spirit Master system in your World is somewhat distorted, there are still many admirable aspects to it." In the Sea of Consciousness, Xu Tianyang and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm were attentively listening to the elder's lecture.
"The Spirit Masters on your plane, it can be said that apart from their own spirit power and Spirit, their strength is not truly their own. This system has both advantages and disadvantages."
"After a Spirit Master absorbs a spirit ring, they can quickly gain powerful Spirit Abilities. The drawback is also obvious: the Spirit Master's advancement is thereafter restricted by Spirit Beasts."
"Elder Electrolux is right. A Spirit Master needs at least nine Spirit Beasts to break through to Titled Douluo, and the higher they go, the greater the age requirement for the Spirit Beasts." Xu Tianyang likewise seriously expressed his opinion.
"However, the growth rate of Spirit Beasts is far from catching up to the growth rate of Spirit Masters. For a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, in its lifetime, even if humans produce one Titled Douluo every hundred years, humans could still produce a thousand Titled Douluo. This completely fails to match the needs of Spirit Masters."
"In the long run, Spirit Beasts are bound to suffer a devastating catastrophe, and the Spirit Master system will also face destruction."
"Is there a solution then?" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, standing nearby, revealed an anxious expression in its small eyes. It hadn't noticed before, but now, after Xu Tianyang's calculation, it felt that the Spirit Beasts' catastrophe was imminent.
Although it had embarked on the path of seeking eternal life, as a member of the Spirit Beast race, it naturally did not want Spirit Beasts to perish.
"This is an irreconcilable contradiction. Perhaps only by becoming a god can there be a solution." Xu Tianyang shook his head. Although Electrolux's soul spirit system could greatly alleviate the conflict between Spirit Beasts and humans, it was merely a temporary solution, not addressing the root cause.
Even with the emergence of artificial spirit rings, the plight of Spirit Beasts would only become more difficult.
Human desires are limitless, and Spirit Beasts are treasures from head to toe. Strictly speaking, only intervention from the God Realm, changing the cultivation conditions for Spirit Masters, can permanently resolve the conflict between Spirit Beasts and humans.
"Tianyang is right." Electrolux also thought of the problem, but he still said, "In my memory, there are two special rituals that can forge magical contracts. I have also studied the Spirit Master system of your World for some time now. Perhaps the two rituals from my World can be applied here, allowing Spirit Masters to form contracts with Spirit Beasts, letting dying Spirit Beasts live for a period longer by relying on the Spirit Master's life force, and Spirit Masters can also obtain better spirit rings…"
"Elder Electrolux…" Before Xu Tianyang could react, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm instantly Teleported in front of Electrolux, looking at him with 'tender affection'.
"Fat worm, get lost." Being looked at with such an expression by a bug, even Electrolux felt a chill. He kicked Tianmeng Ice Silkworm from one end of the Sea of Consciousness to the other.
"…" Helplessly rubbing his forehead at this scene, Xu Tianyang looked at Electrolux and said, "If it's truly as Elder Electrolux says, this would be a great deed. It might be worth a try."
"Haha, let me sort out my memories, then we can try. But don't hold too much hope, old man here can only say I'll give it a shot." Electrolux watched Xu Tianyang with a face full of smiles.
"Thank you, Elder Electrolux…"
The Undead Bone Dragon's speed was very fast. During the conversation between the two people and one silkworm, the sky gradually brightened, and Xu Tianyang had already entered the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Having already obtained a map of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's location from Dugu Bo, Xu Tianyang headed straight for the Sunset Forest.
The Sunset Forest is located a hundred li east of Heaven Dou City and is one of the Heaven Dou Empire's major wild Spirit Beast habitats. Although its area is not as vast as the Star Dou Great Forest, it is not lacking in high-level Spirit Beasts.
The depths of the Sunset Forest are territories divided by high-level Spirit Beasts. In the past, many 10,000-year Spirit Beasts were active there, but today, not a single one dared to show its head.
In the high sky, a massive gray shadow swept past. Although its aura was restrained, the sense of danger from deep within its bloodline made the high-level Spirit Beasts, who were very sensitive to danger, cower in their territories, not daring to come out at all.
Soon, Xu Tianyang arrived at a small mountain hollow in the Sunset Forest. Inside the hollow was a small valley, and uniquely, within the valley, a misty water vapor rose, but the surrounding air had a distinctive dryness and heat.
Looking down from high above, one could see that there was a hot spring in the valley. The hot spring was not large but was divided into two sections. In the oval-shaped pool, the color of the hot spring water was milky white and vermilion, respectively.
Even more peculiar was that although they were in the same pool, they were distinctly separate, not encroaching on each other, always staying on their respective sides.
The rising steam was generated at the point where the two hot springs met, continuously ascending until it gradually dispersed at the mouth of the valley.
"It really does look like… a hot pot with two compartments!" Xu Tianyang looked at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well below, feeling a bit emotional.
"It is indeed a treasure land." Electrolux also saw the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and even with his knowledge, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"We wouldn't be here if it wasn't a treasure land." With a light chuckle, Xu Tianyang tapped the giant dragon head beneath his feet. The Undead Bone Dragon understood, its figure moving towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
When passing through the poisonous miasma array set up by Dugu Bo, Xu Tianyang's body was enveloped in an overbearing power of destruction. The surrounding toxins were annihilated before they could even get close to Xu Tianyang.
As for the Undead Bone Dragon, it had been dead for who knows how many years, so it naturally wasn't afraid of toxins.
After stepping into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, looking around, the valley was filled with countless plants. Various flowers competed for beauty, and all sorts of vegetation bore abundant fruits, emitting treasure light of varying strengths.
Even someone unfamiliar with plants could easily tell their extraordinary nature.
Xu Tianyang casually walked through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, seeing countless medicinal herbs considered precious in the outside World. As for why the extreme energies of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had no effect on him...
Heaven-tier Dou Skills were no joke.
"Tianyang, we're rich, we're rich! The energy here is no less than that in the core area of the extreme north. With this place to assist, at most twenty years… no, fifteen years, you can break through to Titled Douluo." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was excitedly shouting in Xu Tianyang's mind at this moment, its voice even trembling slightly.
Sweeping his mental force across the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm exclaimed, "Eye of the Ice and Fire Well, Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass, blazing apricot delight, Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb, qiluo tulip, Marvelous Chrysanthemum, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid…"
"There are so many immortal-grade medicinal herbs here! I'm willing to call this the number one treasure land on the Douluo Continent."
