After asking Xu Xiaoyan about her plans, Luo Yanglu thought for a moment, then led her into the room used for entering the Spirit Elevation Platform.
After having Xu Xiaoyan enter the corresponding equipment, Luo Yanglu walked over to Wu Changkong and stood beside him, watching the soul tool screen on the wall as they observed the situation inside the Spirit Elevation Platform together.
Seeing him come over, the corner of Wu Changkong's mouth twitched. "A real Spirit Soul from the Isolation Zone got out. It's chasing Xie Xie."
The general public didn't know about the Isolation Zone, but given his status, he naturally did.
"That's Yuhao's Evil Eye Tyrant."
Luo Yanglu saw the picture on the screen and was also somewhat speechless. "How did Xie Xie get to the edge of the Isolation Zone? That area ahead belongs to the Evil Eye Tyrant."
Huo Yuhao's Evil Eye Tyrant had been placed in the Spirit Elevation Platform because he had gone to school.
Perhaps because it hadn't been in an environment similar to the Star Dou Great Forest for a while, the Evil Eye Tyrant was in high spirits. It had fought with some real Spirit Souls and, after battling a guardian Spirit Soul of the Isolation Zone, had gained the qualification to guard the Isolation Zone.
Now, the area ahead was their territory. Xie Xie had gone over there and was going to be toyed with.
"Wah! Stop chasing me!"
Xie Xie ran wildly through the forest, looking back at the strange creature with a single eye and tentacles all around its body. Tears streamed down his face.
Why was he so unlucky? He had only been here a short while and had already encountered this terrifying ten-thousand-year spirit beast?
Wasn't the strongest spirit beast simulated in the low-level Spirit Elevation Platform supposed to be thousand-year?
And this spirit beast was so malicious. It had been chasing him for ages without attacking, making him unwilling to leave directly he still wanted to struggle a bit.
"What are you doing over here?" Huo Yuhao's helpless voice sounded, making Xie Xie's expression turn to surprise surprise.
He looked at Huo Yuhao, who had somehow appeared standing on a tree, and shouted loudly:
"Boss, save me!"
Huo Yuhao didn't reply. To Xie Xie's horrified gaze, he flashed over to the Evil Eye Tyrant and patted its tentacle.
"That's not how you help, Boss that's a ten-thousand-year spirit beast..."
Seeing the Evil Eye Tyrant pause and docilely stand beside Huo Yuhao, showing no signs of attacking, Xie Xie's words stopped. His expression became dazed.
You have such a good temperament? Were you just playing chase with me earlier?
Why didn't you say so!
"He's my Spirit Soul the Evil Eye Tyrant. You don't need to be afraid."
Huo Yuhao turned to gaze at Xie Xie. "Speaking of which, how did you end up over here? Didn't Teacher Luo mention in his precautions not to come to this area?"
"...I was just a bit curious."
Xie Xie walked forward somewhat awkwardly, pointing at an Isolation Zone logo in the distance.
"Teacher Luo said that when you see that kind of logo, you can't enter. So I thought I'd just take a quick peek from outside to see what was inside. Then this guy came out."
Curiosity killed the cat. He knew he was wrong. So please stop giving him the death glare.
And strictly speaking, he hadn't entered. The Evil Eye Tyrant had come out after him.
Huo Yuhao withdrew his gaze and communicated with the Evil Eye Tyrant using his spiritual power. He also learned that Xie Xie wasn't lying.
In the Evil Eye Tyrant's words: humans were more interesting than spirit beasts. They had richer emotions. It was fun to scare them.
Huo Yuhao: "..."
Evil Emperor come quick! Your descendant has gone strange!
Seeing Huo Yuhao staring at it, the Evil Eye Tyrant extended its tentacle and ingratiatingly massaged his shoulder.
In front of Huo Yuhao, how could it dare reveal its true nature?
The Evil Eye Tyrant didn't know exactly what Huo Yuhao was, but over the past three years, the aura of death it had occasionally sensed from him was no lie.
This was not something it could afford to provoke!
"So this is the ten-thousand-year Spirit Soul the Spirit Transmission Tower gave you?"
Knowing that the spirit beast before him was a truly genuine Spirit Soul, Xie Xie was no longer afraid. He curiously walked over to the Evil Eye Tyrant and reached out to poke its tentacle.
As Spirit Souls had blended into the human world, human trust in Spirit Souls had increased year by year. In the eyes of some humans, Spirit Souls were even more trustworthy than humans.
Xie Xie wasn't that extreme, but he still trusted Spirit Souls very much especially since this was Huo Yuhao's Spirit Soul.
Speaking of which, did the Spirit Transmission Tower really configure ten-thousand-year Spirit Souls? Boss Yuhao had one, and Gu Yuena probably did too. When could he get one? Hopefully, he could find a cool-looking partner.
Xie Xie secretly fantasized about the future.
"Alright, go back. When the time comes, I'll come get you." Huo Yuhao instructed the Evil Eye Tyrant a few times, telling it to go back to guarding the Isolation Zone and not to run around.
He had come over to communicate with the Evil Eye Tyrant. After all, the Evil Eye Tyrant could help cover for him when he awakened his other Spirit Souls. He also needed to think about how to arrange for it. Running into Xie Xie was purely accidental.
Outside, seeing the Evil Eye Tyrant persuaded away by Huo Yuhao, Wu Changkong relaxed completely. He shifted his gaze from Huo Yuhao and Xie Xie to another person. Seeing her direction of movement, his brow furrowed slightly.
The entry point into the Spirit Elevation Platform was random. How did Gu Yuena seem to be moving closer to Huo Yuhao? Was it a coincidence?
A moment later, seeing Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao meet up, Wu Changkong confirmed that it was not a coincidence.
Luo Yanglu also raised an eyebrow. Thinking of the situation that morning, he wondered whether he should contact Hua Yichen in advance to communicate with Her Majesty Tianfeng Douluo.
Although it might be him overthinking, being prepared was better than being a fluke.
Inside the Spirit Elevation Platform, seeing Xie Xie go off to fight the simulated spirit beasts, Huo Yuhao used his spiritual power to take down a charging group of hundred-year Blazing Lions, watching clusters of yellow energy float toward him.
Gu Yuena, who had just arrived, was much the same, continuously firing elements from her hands, attacking the simulated spirit beasts, causing clusters of spiritual energy to float toward her.
The co-owner of spirit beasts, striking spirit beasts no emotions.
"This spiritual energy, after all, is just immortal energy. It carries a trace of its idiosyncratic qualities. For us, it's not very useful."
After clearing out the surrounding simulated spirit beasts, Gu Yuena glanced at the spiritual energy on her body and shook her head helplessly.
"Not necessarily." Huo Yuhao looked toward the core of the Spirit Elevation Platform.
That was the location of the Advanced Advanced Spirit Elevation Platform.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena's small face showed a strange expression. She continued transmitting.
"Yuhao, you don't want to use that fragment, do you? With Douluo Star's energy, it's impossible to recreate the Divine Realm."
Huo Yuhao smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he asked: "Emperor Tian must know the truth about this place by now, right? Hasn't he thought about using it?"
"No." Gu Yuena shook her head. "It's just a fragment, after all. It can't help him."
In the Sea of Spirit, Skydream Iceworm and Ice Empress were confused. "Yuhao, what riddle are you two playing? What fragment? What immortal energy?"
"Brother Skydream, there are many ways to increase spirit ring life. But the spiritual energy of the Spirit Elevation Platform can increase Spirit Soul life, and it's endless. After being absorbed, it reappears. What do you think its essence is?"
Huo Yuhao asked in reply.
"...You mean it has something to do with gods?" Skydream Iceworm was somewhat surprised.
"Yes. The essence of the Spirit Elevation Platform is actually a fragment of the Divine Realm!"
