247 Gifts and Tests
Star Forest, core area.With a splash, water splashed on the surface of the lake.
"How is it?" Seeing the King of Ten Thousand Demons returning, Di Tian asked.
"The Son of Nature is a human being." The King of Ten Thousand Demons looked solemn and spoke concisely.
"How is this possible?" All the animals present were shocked.
The King of Ten Thousand Demons said nothing. He put two fingers together, raised his hand and lightly touched his forehead. Suddenly, green light became thick and a wave of light shot out.
The next second, ripples appeared in the air, followed by flickering lights and shadows, and the surrounding space began to change. After a moment of illusion, the beasts were already in a forest.
Soon, a towering golden tree appeared in the sight of the beasts. As time passed, the golden tree finally shrank back, and a man with golden hair and golden eyes appeared, with a small golden tree floating in front of him and five soul rings vibrating under his feet.
Afterwards, several people flew high into the sky and disappeared from sight.
"I have checked the spring water he poured into the pit before he left. It is a special spring water that contains the properties of ice and fire. It is extremely poisonous when taken alone, enough to kill a hundred thousand year old soul beast. But when combined, it is extremely beneficial to plants, allowing them to grow thousands of times faster. If I am not mistaken, the Blue Silver King and other ten thousand year old Blue Silver Grass were taken to the place where this spring water was discovered. This boy's promotion to the Son of Nature is probably related to this spring water."
As the King of Ten Thousand Demons spoke, he interrupted his soul power and dissipated the image.
"This is just one of the reasons." Di Tian frowned and said, "From the changes in his fourth soul ring, the fourth soul ring is also his natal soul ring, and it is a lightning attribute natal soul ring. If I'm not mistaken, he should be able to draw lightning to practice, just like the Thundering Hell Vine. Lightning has a tempering effect. The fact that his bloodline can be sublimated to this level should also be related to his ability to draw lightning to practice."
"It is this talent that helps him break boundaries."
"The same is true for his wife Yin'e and the Blue Silver King, who were able to remain unharmed after experiencing such intensive thunder attacks."
"Doesn't that mean..." The beasts were suddenly shocked, they understood what Di Tian meant.
Only Mr. Bear still didn't understand. He turned his head and asked, "What do you mean?"
"It means that this Son of Nature can not only help soul beasts avoid thunder tribulations, but also help them to continuously improve." The Ten Thousand Demon King turned his head and looked at him, "However, before he truly incarnates into an ancient tree of nature, it should be necessary to make a sacrifice for him in order to enjoy this blessing."
"Based on the information I gained from establishing a spiritual connection with the surrounding blue silver grass, the spiritual fluctuations emitted by the former Blue Silver Emperor Silver Elephant were very powerful, and the strength of its soul may have risen to the level of a fierce beast."
"And this Son of Nature is now at such an age that I can only say that he might really have the qualifications to be promoted to that level."
In just a few years, the soul strength of a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast can be pushed to the level of a ferocious beast. This is enough to explain a lot.
Xiong Jun was immediately surprised and couldn't help asking, "Is the natural ancient tree he transformed into much stronger than the golden ancient tree?"
"It can be called a qualitative improvement." Brigitte nodded. "The ancient natural tree manifested by this son of nature may no longer be called a golden ancient tree. Instead, it should be called a life ancient tree. The reason why its body and every leaf are golden is not because it has grown naturally after years of baptism, but because it contains too much life energy."
"Its existence itself is a miracle of life and represents another extreme of life."
"Of course, the current Son of Nature's cultivation is still low, and he cannot truly demonstrate his true ability as the Ancient Tree of Life in the future. What we just saw was just the Son of Nature being blessed by nature and temporarily incarnated as the Ancient Tree of Life when he was promoted. If he wants to reappear, this Son of Nature still has a long way to go in the future."
"So, how should we treat this Son of Nature in the future?" King Chi couldn't help but speak up.
"Bring him back and kill him. Then bury him on the ground and he will turn into a tree, right?" Xiong Jun said calmly.
Di Tian squinted at it and said calmly, "Then what? The simplest question is, do you think that after becoming the Ancient Tree of Life, he will choose to protect our race?"
"He is a human being, how could he protect my people?" The Bear King was very dissatisfied and retorted.
"That depends on which path he will take in the end." Di Tian turned his head and thought.
"What do you think? Once he can fully unleash the abilities of the Son of Nature, is there any hope of curing the master's injuries?" the King of All Monsters suddenly asked.
Di Tian was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.
Biji also pondered, then spoke, "Brother Tian, his wife is a soul beast. Judging from his attitude towards the Blue Silver Grass Clan, he does not seem to be hostile to soul beasts. Moreover, he obviously knows his identity and responsibilities as a son of nature."
"Perhaps, we can try it out first."
"That's something that I find strange, too." The Monster King continued, "How come he knows so much about the Son of Nature? To be honest, I don't really believe what he said. This kid may be hiding some unknown secrets."
He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, but he had never heard of what images would appear in the mind of the Son of Nature when he was promoted.
Then Di Tian looked up and said, "King of Ten Thousand Monsters, I intend to have your people or even you go and monitor the Son of Nature, understand his attitude towards the soul beasts, and try to persuade his wife Yin'e to help. I wonder if you are willing?"
"I think I can!" A giant ice silkworm that was heavily sealed shouted not far away.
"You have no right to speak here!" The bear king turned his big head and glared at him, "I will eat you if you keep yelling."
The air suddenly became quiet.
"Perhaps, this is also an opportunity for you, an opportunity to become a god." Di Tian continued: "Of course, I won't force you, the decision is entirely yours."
"I need to think about it." The King of Ten Thousand Demons murmured.
"Yeah." Di Tian nodded and strode towards the ice silkworm not far away.
"Wow, brother, this is so pitiful!" Seeing Di Tian approaching, Bingcan's fat body trembled and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Hmph, the Son of Nature is a human being, so he has to obtain a spirit ring, right? Brother might have a chance." He said in his heart.
In the morning, in Tiandou City.
Ta-ta-ta, the sound of horse hooves was crisp, and an exquisite carriage was strolling along the street. It was almost February, and the Spring Festival had only passed for a few days. Even in the Tiandou Imperial Capital, it was cold at this time. There were few people around the huge street, and only the cold wind and frost were company.
The sky was dark, and clouds were covering the rooftops, making the thick palace walls in sight seem a bit depressing and dull.
"Sigh."
Finally, a long neigh of a horse broke the silence.
Yang Yunhai opened the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, followed by Dugu Bo.
"What a rare guest! What a rare guest!" Xue Ye and Xue Qinghe, who had been waiting in front of the palace after being informed by the guards, came forward with a smile.
When entering the palace during the New Year, Yang Yunhai had to see the emperor first, who had the highest status. He had no choice but to greet him with a smile, "Your Majesty, and Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"You're welcome. You're welcome." Xue Ye smiled warmly and slightly tilted his body.
"Please come in, my two distinguished guests. It's cold outside. Please follow me into the house first."
The two nodded and walked forward.
Xue Ye chatted about family matters and continued, "Brother Dugu, why didn't you bring Zhuqing and niece Dugu here today?"
"My granddaughter doesn't like to enter the palace." Dugu Bo said bluntly: "Your palace is indeed a bit cold. It's really better to sleep at home than to stay here. Today I am mainly here as a bodyguard to accompany Xiang Xiaohai, wish you a happy new year, and then go to the East Palace for a stroll."
"Xiao Hai promised to accompany your son before, and he is here to keep the appointment today."
Xue Ye nodded, "Life in the palace is indeed a bit lonely. Qinghe has lived in the palace for a long time, and he has to help me deal with government affairs on weekdays. He doesn't have many friends and is indeed lonely. I welcome nephew Yang to come and accompany Qinghe to relieve his boredom. Young people should move around more."
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Since I'm here, I'll have a few drinks." Dugu Bo nodded.
"Brother Xue, you can't be stingy."
"Of course." Xue Ye said with a smile, "Since Brother Dugu is here, I will naturally prepare some good wine to entertain you."
The two of them walked into a hall while chatting like old friends.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Dugu Bo nodded slightly, "Xiao Hai, since you don't drink, go to the East Palace with the prince first. You young people can talk about young people's things, and we old guys can talk about ours. When we have finished drinking here, I will go to the East Palace to pick you up."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"That's right, that's right." Xue Ye also smiled, "Qinghe, you guys go first."
"Yes, father." Qian Renxue nodded and led Yang Yunhai, who had already stood up, out of the hall.
Facing the cold wind, the two walked side by side and soon walked away and came to an empty road.
"You can ask for any soul bones you want now." Qian Renxue spoke for herself, "I will send a letter to Wuhun City as soon as possible. Of course, you can also ask your teacher to go to the Worship Hall to get them in person. After the New Year, your teacher and uncle will have to go back to Wuhun City. Including you. I think Bibi Dong should have asked your teacher to tell you to persuade Dugu Bo to join Wuhun Hall as soon as possible."
"I won't go to Wuhun City." Yang Yunhai nodded.
"Tang Hao will definitely come to capture me in the near future. I am absolutely sure of that."
Qian Renxue's eyes flashed, and she said, "As long as you join the Worship Hall, you can continue to lurk in Tiandou City to help me."
"We will join the Worship Hall, but at the same time, we will also withdraw from the Spirit Hall." Yang Yunhai replied.
Qian Renxue immediately turned her head, stared at him, and said, "Xue Ye has already agreed to pass the throne to me. In a year at most, I will be able to ascend the throne."
"So, there are conditions? Could it be giving birth to a child?" Yang Yunhai looked straight ahead.
At most one year, and ten months of pregnancy, the two are the best match.
"I have made arrangements. This is not difficult." Qian Renxue said confidently.
"My decision will not change." Yang Yunhai said: "Why? You don't have confidence in yourself?"
"This is not a fair deal." Qian Renxue said.
She had to admit that Yang Yunhai's wisdom had indeed made her a little wary. A year could do a lot of things. With the help of Dugu Bo, Ghost Douluo, and Chrysanthemum Douluo, there were too many unknowns. Once she left the Spirit Hall, whether she would join the Worship Hall would be a matter of a word from Yang Yunhai and the others. She had no guarantee at all.
If Yang Yunhai plotted against her secretly, all his years of planning would fail, and her life would be in danger.
No matter how much she trusted Yang Yunhai, she still had to be cautious.
Yang Yunhai nodded, "It's really unfair, so I brought enough chips today."
"Is this the choice you mentioned before?" Qian Renxue asked.
"That's right." Yang Yunhai nodded, "Believe me, you won't refuse."
"Let's go. You'll know when we get to the East Palace. To avoid being exposed, you'd better find a quiet place."
Qian Renxue frowned, nodded slightly, and continued to lead the way.
After a long time, the two entered the East Palace, and Yang Yunhai was taken into an inner hall.
With a creak, the door was closed by two "guards".
Qian Renxue sat down at the side of the table, waiting for Yang Yunhai to give out the chips.
Then Yang Yunhai reached out to his waist and took out a red herb with a cockscomb-shaped top.
As soon as the herbs were exposed to the air, the surrounding temperature rose several degrees in an instant.
"What is this?" Qian Renxue looked surprised and immediately had a guess in her mind.
"Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower is a rare treasure with fire attribute. Eating it can not only directly improve your soul power, but also refine impurities in your body, increase the strength of your martial soul's fire attribute, and double the power of the flame. I think it should be very suitable for you." Yang Yunhai smiled: "According to my teacher, it can make your six-winged angel martial soul go further."
Qian Renxue's expression was no longer calm, and her eyes were already a little fiery, but she quickly calmed down and looked up at Yang Yunhai, "This is indeed an exciting bargaining chip."
"You should understand that with the Great Priest here, you and I have equal bargaining chips. I can't do anything to hurt you. The reason why I chose to quit the Spirit Hall is very simple. I don't want Bibi Dong to continue to sit in that position." Yang Yunhai said half-truthfully: "I think what the Spirit Hall needs is a leader who will not be swayed by personal selfishness and personal feelings, rather than a power-grabbing person."
Yang Yunhai wanted to use the departure of Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo to expose Bibi Dong's indifference to her old subordinates and her previous Soul Master Competition, in which Shrek Academy was allowed to enter the finals for Yu Xiaogang. In addition, the golden generation of the Spirit Hall, which was blindly arrogant and spent resources to train, could not even beat the Shrek team. Whether it was governing or coaching, there were problems. Qian Renxue's mood was in turmoil.
Isn't this a warning to me?
In addition, with Grandpa here, even if Ju Douluo and Ghost Douluo left the Spirit Hall and came to Tiandou City, they would not dare to hurt her life. At most, they would make her plan abort and run back to Spirit City in disgrace.
These losses are not worth as much as this rare treasure.
After all, as long as she gets and eats this rare treasure, her chances of passing the Divine Test will undoubtedly be greatly increased. And as long as she can pass the Divine Test, she will be fearless!
"I have reminded Bibi Dong many times, but unfortunately, she has made wrong choices one after another. And I have never been a person who is good at waiting, so you can understand that I am preparing to help you get to the top."
Yang Yunhai nodded slightly and continued.
"In fact, I hope that you can successfully inherit the throne of the Angel God, and in the name of God, sort out this messed up world and make people live better."
"You know, I came from a common family, and no one understands what they are going through better than me. Now that we are prosperous, I have to consider them."
"So, this rare treasure is both a bargaining chip and a gift to help you reach that step. Of course, you can also regard it as a test from me."
"Then, Your Highness Qian Renxue, do you have the confidence to accept and pass this test?" he said with a slight smile.
