"Under normal circumstances, that is indeed the case."
Yu Nan changed the subject, her tone becoming playful:
"But this old tortoise is currently at the weakest point in its life."
"Oh? What do you mean?"
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up.
Yu Nan slowly revealed the secret, which he had just unearthed from the depths of his memory:
"This golden hawksbill turtle is extremely greedy and extremely afraid of death."
Back then, the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, 'Di Tian', captured a million-year-old Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and imprisoned it in the Lake of Life to absorb its energy.
This old tortoise, relying on its long lifespan and seniority, secretly went to siphon some energy from the overflowing Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
At this point, Yu Nan let out a sneer:
"But this old man is insatiable and can't swallow an elephant."
It unexpectedly discovered a piece of 'life-gold' at the bottom of the Lake of Life.
"Gold of Life?"
What is that?
Dugu Yan asked curiously.
"That is a supreme treasure formed from the condensation of life force between heaven and earth, containing endless life energy."
Yu Nan explained:
"That old tortoise thought it had gotten a great deal and wanted to devour this piece of living gold to accelerate its cultivation, and even hoped to break through its bottleneck with it."
As it turned out, it hadn't expected that although the life-giving gold possessed immense vitality, it was not something it could easily digest.
At this moment, instead of being refined, the piece of living gold was stuck within its body, frantically drawing upon its own life force!
"Now, in order to resist the devouring of the Life Gold, it has lost one-tenth of its strength, and even moving has become extremely difficult."
"It is currently hiding in a secluded swamp beneath the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, bordering the mixed zone, barely clinging to life."
They dared not release even the slightest aura, fearing that other soul beasts would discover them and devour them.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes turned into gleaming green light bulbs, flashing with extreme greed.
Take advantage of your weakness and kill you!
A 100,000-year-old soul beast whose strength is reduced to less than one-tenth!
It also comes with a piece of the legendary "Gold of Life"!
This is like a pie falling from the sky and landing right in my mouth!
"Senior, are you saying... we can not only obtain the soul ring and soul bone, but also that piece of living gold?"
Dugu Bo's voice trembled with excitement.
"good."
Yu Nan affirmed:
"If Yan Yan were to fuse with the Gold of Life, it would greatly elevate her life level."
It can even nourish her spiritual sea, greatly benefiting her future path to godhood.
The golden hawksbill turtle's spirit ring and spirit bone will grant Yan Yan unparalleled defensive and survivability.
"With these three safeguards, going to Poseidon Island to begin the Nine Trials of Poseidon will be truly foolproof!"
Dugu Bo slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly:
"Let's do it!"
"Since this old tortoise brought this upon himself, then he can't blame us for being ruthless!"
Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes also shone, and she clenched her fists tightly.
She never imagined her future would be so bright.
If she could really get all of this, not to mention Yu Tianheng, even the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall would be nothing but chickens and dogs in front of her!
"Pack your things and let's go!"
Yu Nan issued the following instructions:
"Target: Star Dou Great Forest!"
This time, we're sending Yan Yan, decked out in divine gear, to challenge the Seagod Island!
As night fell, the Dugu mansion was quiet and still.
Dugu Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating.
"Pop".
It felt as if some barrier inside my body had been gently breached.
Dugu Yan suddenly opened her eyes.
Level 59!
It all went smoothly.
"grandfather!
I'm level 59!
Dugu Yan excitedly pushed open the door and called out to Dugu Bo, who was enjoying tea in the courtyard.
Dugu Bo's hand trembled, spilling tea all over the floor, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he laughed loudly.
"good!
good!
good!
As expected of my granddaughter, Dugu Bo!
At this rate, once you absorb that old turtle's soul ring, becoming a level 60 Soul Emperor will be a piece of cake!
It might even jump directly to level 65 or higher!
According to Yu Nan's idea.
He would persuade the golden tortoiseshell to be sacrificed.
In this way, when Dugu Yan becomes a god in the future, it can also ascend to heaven with him.
The next morning.
The grandfather and grandson left Tiandou City quietly without alerting anyone.
Objective: Starry Sky Forest.
Dugu Bo, with Dugu Yan in tow, sped away at lightning speed.
With their previous experience and improved strength, the two were even faster than when they went to Nottingham.
After entering the Star Dou Great Forest, Dugu Bo, who had been unrestrained, also restrained his aura somewhat.
After all, this is the stronghold of soul beasts, and those two forest kings in the core area are not to be trifled with.
"Senior, which way should we go?"
Dugu Bo asked the question in the sea of spirit.
"Southeast, at the boundary between the mixed zone and the outer zone."
Yu Nan's voice rang out lazily, as if everything was under his control:
"Find a swamp that is shrouded in poisonous miasma all year round."
The old tortoise valued its life highly; only in such a place could it both conceal the aura of its life-giving metal and escape powerful predators.
Following Yu Nan's directions, the grandfather and grandson traversed the dense jungle for two full hours.
Finally, they stopped in front of a swamp that reeked of decay.
The area is surrounded by ancient trees that block out the sun, and a faint poisonous mist permeates the air, making it too dangerous for ordinary soul beasts to approach.
"This is it."
Yu Nan affirmed:
"I can sense it; that nauseating aura of greed is not far ahead."
Dugu Bo nodded and quietly approached with Dugu Yan.
After parting a thick layer of bushes, the view suddenly opened up before me.
In the middle of the swamp, there was a slightly dry piece of land.
At this moment, two figures, one white and one yellow, were facing off... or rather, one side was unilaterally toying with the other.
That white figure was a magnificent and extraordinary steed.
It was pure white, without a single blemish, with wings on its back and a spiral golden horn on its forehead, radiating a sacred aura of light.
"This is... a Celestial Dragon Horse?"
Dugu Yan covered her mouth in surprise:
"How could such a top-grade soul beast with the bloodline of the Light Dragon Clan appear in this dark swamp?"
Judging from its size and aura, this Heavenly Dragon Horse has a cultivation level of at least 30,000 years!
Under normal circumstances, this would be the dream of countless agility-type or power-type Soul Masters.
At the feet of this noble celestial horse lay a large, gray, moss-covered tortoise.
This turtle looked unremarkable, with even a few cracks on its shell, and its aura was weak, just like an ordinary swamp turtle that was only a little over ten thousand years old.
At this moment, the Heavenly Dragon Horse was kicking the tortoise with its hooves, neither too hard nor too soft, as if it were making fun of it, or as if it were forcing it to hand over something.
The tortoise remained huddled in its shell, letting the Heavenly Dragon Horse kick and beat it without moving, as if it were dead.
