Chapter 12 Bitterness 1 Bitter Dream Brother, I'll Take the Blame
[You will enter the Star Dou Great Forest about 50 miles ahead. Soul beasts may be present. Please be careful.]
Looking at the unusually familiar and memorable sign, Bailidu said with a touch of nostalgia, "It really brings back memories."
Within his sea of consciousness, the cheeky voice of [Divine Dream] echoed in his ears: "Yeah, yeah, we met here too, and then I carried you all the way..."
[Goddess Ice Empress] smacked [Goddess Heavenly Dream]'s head with her pincers, saying irritably, "Do you, a guy who just coasted to victory, have the right to say that?"
Ignoring [Godly Dream]'s feigned loud screams, [Godly Little White] chimed in, "That's right, that's right..."
Xue Di and Li Ya simply smiled as they watched them bicker.
Sensing the liveliness within the sea of consciousness, Baili Du also revealed a happy smile.
In the end, it was always them who stayed by my side.
Little Huo Yuhao tugged at the hem of Baili Du's shirt and asked curiously, "Uncle Baili, have you been to the Star Dou Great Forest before?"
Baili Du smiled at Huo Yuhao: "Of course, I'm a Soul Master too. How could a Soul Master not come to the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Then... Uncle, what exactly is your cultivation level?"
This is what young Huo Yuhao really wants to ask.
[Bai Lidu] paused for a moment, exhaled a breath of stale air, and shook his head regretfully: "I am very strong, and very weak. Strong enough that almost no one can defeat me; weak enough that I haven't even accomplished the goal I set for cultivating..."
People, when they go too far, often forget why they went in the first place.
The avenger Huo Yuhao ultimately became a joke known as Dai Yuhao...
He quickly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I can sense that the right spirit ring for you is right ahead. Go get it yourself!"
……
A large, snow-white silkworm is underground, constantly pupating towards the edge of the forest.
"Ah, Lao Ba Xiao Nei... that place... as long as we can get to that place..."
It was the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm of this era. As a million-year-old soul beast, and one that had emerged from its sleep, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which had no numerical values and no mechanics and relied entirely on luck, undoubtedly possessed extremely strong perception. Its intuition told it that great luck awaited it ahead.
Sure enough! He found a little guy, and a little guy with very strong spiritual power.
Just like the original course of history, as young Huo Yuhao walked along, he bumped into a wind baboon with a cultivation level of a hundred years.
When Xiao Yuhao saw the baboon leaping around in front of him, constantly provoking him with monkey-like punches, he felt an indescribable sense of frustration and anger welling up inside him, as if the monkey and he were mortal enemies.
After delivering a heavy blow to the monkey with his mental power, he activated his Deep Blue Glazed Dragon Martial Soul, grabbed the monkey's neck, and snapped it in two.
To be honest, even he himself didn't know why he used such force, since he wasn't usually this cruel...
Just then, a voice suddenly rang in Xiao Yuhao's mind.
"Finally, I've encountered a human with spiritual attributes. It's a pity I can't cry, otherwise I would definitely be in tears!"
Then the million-year-old soul beast started boasting to itself. Before Huo Yuhao could respond, an extremely cold aura instantly made him lose consciousness, and the beast forcibly fused with him.
"Such strong physical and mental abilities! Hahaha! I've really struck gold this time!"
Upon entering Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who had been dreaming of Huo Yuhao growing up and beating up Di Tian and Xiong Jun, was dumbfounded.
"...What kind of person did you choose as your host, bro?"
What did it see?
Hanging in the not-too-small mental space was a golden vertical eye, surrounded by nine-colored ripples, as if the heavens were opening their eyes to look at the world; a deep blue dragon with four pairs of eight wings roamed around the vertical eye, and there was also an ominous gray-gold figure, as faint as a firefly, yet seemingly containing all the ominousness in the world.
"W-what...what's going on? It's twin martial souls! And this martial soul is...oh my god!"
Upon seeing the enormous, deep blue, glazed dragon phantom, the tremor originating from the very depths of the soul beast's bloodline stunned Tianmeng Ice Silkworm into standing there in shock.
"Oh my god, so my carefully prepared ice-attribute martial soul is... Holy crap, what's going on?!"
The deep blue dragon opened its mouth, full of fangs, towards Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
……
"Brother Tianmeng, it's just that you'll have to suffer a bit in this era."
The gods within the Sea of Divine Consciousness were all taken aback. [Divine Spirit Heavenly Dream] asked curiously, "Huh? What do you mean? Don't you already have a second Martial Soul?"
"Well... how should I put it, the soulless ice martial spirit you gave me back then needs to be changed. During this period, you might have to... well, suffer a bit."
Then, while feeding the [Divine Dream] in his sea of consciousness, Baili Du turned around and came to the place where Xiao Huo Yuhao was sitting cross-legged. He raised his hand and patted Xiao Huo Yuhao's forehead, and his divine consciousness and divine power flowed into Xiao Huo Yuhao's body like threads.
……
Within Xiao Yuhao's spiritual sea, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was squealing and groaning, its snow-white body contorting: "Ahhh...stop it, stop it, no ahhhhhh—!"
The biggest difference between a million-year-old soul beast and a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast in terms of sacrifice is that the latter can transform itself into a martial soul for the host to absorb, which means giving the soul master a martial soul out of thin air. As a genuine million-year-old soul beast, Tianmeng naturally has this special ability.
However, just as the spirit bestowal was about to be completed, the originally predetermined ice attribute suddenly shattered and disintegrated, and was completely absorbed by the deep blue glazed dragon spirit within the sea of spirit.
At this moment, the Deep Blue Glazed Dragon not only possesses [Ultimate Water], but also has the ability to control [Ice].
Ultimately, water and ice are the same thing; they just have different states due to different temperatures.
Having her most primal power forcibly taken away, Tianmeng was naturally in excruciating pain. However, Bailidu and Ilex couldn't care less about Tianmeng's screams and quickly got down to business.
The shattered light and mist reassembled, forming a formless blank martial soul, no longer limited to the ice attribute, nor restricted by the beast martial soul.
This is also an empty space prepared for Electrolux.
To prevent Tang San from using any underhanded methods to harm Ilex again, Baili Du and Ilex came up with this solution: to truly transform Ilex's power into a martial soul for Huo Yuhao, allowing him to steadily heal his remnant soul.
It is also a backup plan, a contingency plan against Tang San's grand plan of ten thousand years...
outside world.
Baili Du narrowed his eyes slightly. Although the [Blank Martial Soul] was created using Tianmeng's power, Ilex's current spiritual consciousness was still too weak, and it was not enough to form a new Martial Soul on its own.
So... what should be used to supplement it? Ideally, it should be something similar to Elder Yi's attributes and abilities.
Thinking this, Baili Du's gaze turned to a forbidden forest in the distance.
That place was also the site of the plot by the Tang Buddha's grand plan for ten thousand years.
"Teacher, what do you think of this power? Although it's of the dark attribute, it's still at the ultimate level and has the ability to traverse space."
With the aid of Baili Du's divine sense detection, Electrox carefully examined the item, then stroked his beard with satisfaction: "This one is good, let's choose it. But don't interfere in this matter, let the little guy handle it himself."
"...Alright, anyway, you won't have any problems here."
After finishing his conversation with Baili Du outside, Electrolux stroked his beard and said with a smile to the displeased Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, "Hehe... Big bug, I was a bit rough just now, and I apologize to you."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was not buying it; that was the sealing power she had been working on for thousands of years!
"Hey old man, you've destroyed my ice attribute essence! That's the power that could give me, the host, a martial soul! How are you going to compensate me?!"
With a smile, Electrolux raised his hand and slapped the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the air, chanting an incantation. Immediately, a golden six-pointed star magic circle completely enveloped the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Hehe, then I'll compensate you with this first."
"Ah? This is... divine sense! Old man, you..." The two small golden eyes of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who was originally extremely dissatisfied, suddenly burst with surprise.
It was only then that Tianmeng Ice Silkworm discovered the wonderful use of this golden six-pointed star magic array.
