As the 100,000-year Holy Light Heavenly Horse formed a Spirit Soul contract with Tang Wutong, another 100,000-year Spirit Ring appeared beneath Tang Wutong's feet. At the same time, she also obtained a 100,000-year left leg Spirit Bone.
"Neigh, neigh~ Big Sister is finally free! That big stupid bear can't eat me anymore!" The Holy Light Heavenly Horse was incredibly happy. Living in the core region had left her constantly on edge.
She always felt as though someone was trying to harm her. This time, she was truly liberated, and there was even a chance that she could become a god and obtain eternal life.
The Spirit hunt operation had gone extremely smoothly. Now, only Huo Yuhao had yet to obtain a Spirit Ring.
Di Ruiqiu led the way, intending to bring Huo Yuhao to obtain his Spirit Ring. The group directly arrived in the core region.
The core region of the Star Dou Great Forest was the most dangerous place. 100,000-year Spirit Beasts basically all lived here, and Savage Beasts would occasionally wander around the outskirts as well.
However, there was already a Savage Beast in their team. Everyone could not understand why the Myriad Demon King was following beside Su Yunlin, and why the Myriad Demon King treated Su Yunlin with such respect.
Roar—
Screech—
Two strange sounds came over. One was an angry roar, while the other was a sharp cry.
Di Ruiqiu revealed a hint of joy. "Huo Yuhao, your Spirit Ring has been found."
"Don't rush. They haven't officially started fighting yet. Wait a little," Cai Mei'er said. As expected of the Dean of the Martial Soul Department, her experience was rich.
Boom, boom, boom—
Immediately afterward, the sounds of battle between two great Spirit Beasts came over.
Through the sounds made by the Spirit Beasts, Cai Mei'er identified their level.
"Roughly between 30,000 and 35,000 years of cultivation. At the very least, they are second-tier Spirit Beasts."
The first tier referred to Spirit Beasts with top bloodlines in the Star Dou Great Forest. The second tier referred to Spirit Beasts with excellent bloodlines or rare species.
Everyone waited here. After all, those two Spirit Beasts had only just started fighting. Who knew whether a 100,000-year Spirit Beast might interfere afterward? Although they were not afraid of 100,000-year Spirit Beasts, what if another Savage Beast came?
Just as everyone was waiting, a deafening roar suddenly rang out. The sound wave was so powerful that quite a few people covered their ears.
"A Heaven-Shaking Roar? That should be right. The Heaven-Shaking Roar has used its innate skill. Let's go." Cai Mei'er quickly identified the Spirit Beast through its roar.
The group quickly pressed forward and discovered the two Spirit Beasts. One of them was indeed a Heaven-Shaking Roar. As for the other Spirit Beast, it looked like a dog. Its limbs were thick, its entire body was covered in scales, and its fangs protruded outward. It was a strange Spirit Beast.
Cai Mei'er frowned. "Could this be a Silvermoon Beast?"
Di Ruiqiu nodded. "It is indeed a Silvermoon Beast."
Many among the Shrek group did not recognize the Silvermoon Beast, because according to Shrek Academy's records, the Silvermoon Beast should have already gone extinct.
The Silvermoon Beast's ability was duplication. Its duplication was completed through Spiritual Power and was not affected by attributes. Its only flaw was that its power was limited by its own cultivation.
Huo Yuhao looked toward Su Yunlin. "Yunlin, can you make it form a Spirit Soul contract with me?"
"No. I'm not familiar with it. Only plants are close to me. Other Spirit Beasts probably won't pay me any attention," Su Yunlin said helplessly.
Generally speaking, all living beings on the continent would respect the Child of Nature. However, there were always exceptions. Most Spirit Beasts were wild and difficult to tame. They would not care about the Child of Nature at all, and might even eat him.
Plants, on the other hand, generally had low intelligence, but they could sense the Child of Nature's aura and would take the initiative to grow close to him.
Only Spirit Beasts with cultivation above 100,000 years would understand the true significance of the Child of Nature.
The Myriad Demon King secretly nodded. Only he understood how noble the Child of Nature was. As for other Savage Beasts, such as Bear Lord, they would never understand what the Child of Nature truly meant.
After that, the Shrek group discussed their battle plan. They would deal with the Heaven-Shaking Roar and the Silvermoon Beast, but everyone decided to only kill the Silvermoon Beast and let the Heaven-Shaking Roar go.
Once the battle plan was settled, they began moving. Several main attackers disrupted the battle between the two Spirit Beasts. After that, Zhang Lexuan made her move, drove the Heaven-Shaking Roar away, and restrained the Silvermoon Beast.
Huo Yuhao successfully hunted the Silvermoon Beast and absorbed its Spirit Ring.
Huo Yuhao only used a little over two hours to finish absorbing the Spirit Ring. His speed left everyone shocked.
With that, this Spirit hunt operation came to a perfect end. Cai Mei'er gave the order to withdraw.
Before leaving, Su Yunlin said goodbye to the Myriad Demon King. The Myriad Demon King wanted to follow Su Yunlin because Su Yunlin had spoken with him privately earlier. Su Yunlin was someone chosen by a god to begin with, and there was an extremely high chance that he would become a god.
If the Myriad Demon King also became Su Yunlin's Spirit Soul, then he could follow him and become a god as well. Thinking of this, the Myriad Demon King could hardly wait. Becoming a god was the ultimate goal of Spirit Beasts like them.
Su Yunlin told the Myriad Demon King to wait a little longer and first cultivate a few trusted subordinates who could temporarily govern the plants of the Star Dou Great Forest.
As for such a Savage Beast wanting to become his Spirit Soul, Su Yunlin was naturally extremely happy. The Myriad Demon King had more than 500,000 years of cultivation. Whether he was compatible or not was one thing, but his age was definitely more than enough.
Unfortunately, Su Yunlin already had a full set of Spirit Bones. If the Myriad Demon King became his torso bone, it would definitely be amazing! The Primordial Immortal Grass would completely fall out of favor.
However, the Myriad Demon King gave Su Yunlin another solution. He could grant Su Yunlin an external Spirit Bone—the Demon Eye.
The Demon Eye could merge into Su Yunlin's forehead. The Myriad Demon King was already skilled in Spiritual Power, and the Demon Eye external Spirit Bone he would grant had astonishing effects. Not only could it greatly increase Su Yunlin's Spiritual Power, it could also give Su Yunlin several useful abilities.
"Myriad Demon King, until next time."
"Mm. Until next time."
After Su Yunlin bid farewell to the Myriad Demon King, he left, departing the Star Dou Great Forest together with the others.
"Becoming a god. I didn't expect that this king might become a god one step earlier than Di Tian. Even if I cannot become a god, after the Child of Nature dies and transforms into the Tree of Life, it will still benefit this king!"
The Myriad Demon King chuckled softly, then vanished into the shadows of the great trees.
...
After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, everyone felt as if they had passed through another lifetime. First, they encountered Evil Spirit Masters, then a 100,000-year Spirit Beast, and afterward even a Savage Beast. The fact that they had survived was already an immense fortune.
Su Yunlin walked over to Bei Bei and Tang Ya's side and said softly, "Sect Master, after you reach your next bottleneck, don't rush to let Qingqing add a Spirit Ring for you. At most, let it add your eighth Spirit Ring. You must keep the position of your ninth Spirit Ring empty.
"And Eldest Senior Brother, the same goes for you. In the future, if the Spirit Soul method gains the recognition of the Star Dou Great Forest, then you definitely won't be able to hunt Spirit Beasts anymore. After all, Spirit Beasts hate humans who hunt Spirit Beasts.
"If you casually form a Spirit Soul contract with a Spirit Beast, it may seem fine at first, but things become different once you reach Titled Douluo. If you want to cultivate to an even higher level, the quality of your Spirit Rings is extremely important.
"So later, whether you have Spirit Souls or not, unless a 100,000-year Spirit Beast is willing to become your Spirit Soul, you must leave the position of your ninth Spirit Ring empty. I'll find a way to get you a special 100,000-year Spirit Ring, the kind that doesn't require hunting a Spirit Beast."
Bei Bei and Tang Ya were both shocked. Bei Bei then seemed to think of something. "Could you be referring to the legendary god-bestowed Spirit Ring?"
Su Yunlin nodded. Bei Bei became even more surprised. Shrek Academy also had records of god-bestowed Spirit Rings, and those records could be traced back to events left behind by Sea God Tang San 10,000 years ago.
