Chapter 284: Sixtieth Level, Unsealing the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring

Inside the forest behind Slaughter City.

Two months have passed since Nan Feihuang emerged from Slaughter City.

About half a month ago, Lan Xue found this place; the time she and Feihuang had agreed upon was within these few days, and she, having missed her son dearly, arrived without missing a single minute or second.

Seeing her son successfully fight his way out of Slaughter City, Lan Xue was naturally overjoyed and proud.

What surprised her even more was that her son's temperament was truly too transcendent; the killing intent on his body had not increased, but rather, compared to over a year ago, it was actually inferior—is this an image one who has come out of Slaughter City should have?

She still remembered how crazy Bibi Dong and Tang Hao were when they first came out of that place, taking lives at the slightest provocation, unable to suppress their own murderous hearts at all, and it took them a long time to stabilize.

But at this moment, Feihuang was a bit too calm, looking no different from a novice Spirit Master who had never stained his hands with human life.

Yet when he activated the Killing God Domain, that suddenly erupting killing intent was absolutely not fake.

Clearly, this was having tempered his state of mind to the realm of "supreme goodness is like water"—water benefits all things and does not contend, dwelling in places that all men dislike, thus it is near to the Dao; this was also the realm Lan Xue had always wanted her son to reach.

The reason she came here to wait was precisely to prevent Feihuang, having just come out of Slaughter City, from being unable to control himself and committing endless murderous sins.

She had intended to take her son to a place for self-cultivation, but now it seemed that was unnecessary.

Nan Feihuang was training hard in a place where flowers and grass flourished, when suddenly, his soul power fluctuations began to grow violently; this was the phenomenon of breaking through the upper limit and increasing in level.

"Hehe, it seems Huang'er has succeeded; he has already reached the Soul Emperor level." Lan Xue laughed proudly; he was worthy of being her son.

When Feihuang headed to Slaughter City, he was fifteen; now that over a year had passed, he was only sixteen.

A sixteen-year-old Sixtieth Level Soul Emperor—looking at history, there might be those who come after, but there have certainly been none before; even the Angel God and Sea God recorded in history books could not possibly have had such a fast cultivation speed.

Nan Feihuang slowly finished his practice; one of the greatest advantages of the Taoist Heart Method is that it is upright and peaceful, and as long as one proceeds step by step, there is basically no risk of suffering from Qi deviation.

Nor does one need to be like other sects, having to constantly sort out the internal energy within the body to maintain its purity; the Taoist Heart Method, especially a top-tier divine art like the Dunjia Heavenly Book, naturally produces the purest True Qi.

Even when cultivating the Dunjia Heavenly Book to the later stages, one will ascend from martial cultivation to immortal cultivation, but unfortunately, Nan Feihuang is still far from that realm.

Anyway, in this place of Douluo Continent, even without immortal cultivation, just practicing martial arts is enough.

"Mother, my cultivation has completely stabilized at the Sixtieth Level; now I can go hunt for my Sixth Soul Ring." Nan Feihuang smiled.

Lan Xue laughed, "My son has heaven-sent talent, and Mother is very gratified. This place is relatively close to the Sunset Forest, so let's go there."

Nan Feihuang shook his head, "No, this time, I want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest."

"The Star Dou Great Forest? Why go to such a far place? The depths of the Sunset Forest are not lacking in powerful Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts; they are more than enough for your Sixth Soul Ring," Lan Xue asked in confusion.

"Mother, I have a secret to tell you. Look!" Nan Feihuang beckoned with his left hand, and the Dunjia Heavenly Book martial soul appeared in his hand, with a soul ring circling above it.

Originally, Lan Xue already knew about this, but what shocked her was, why was this soul ring red?

"Ten... Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring?"

It was clearly a black Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring when she saw it over a year ago, yet at this moment, it had actually turned into the Ten-Thousand-Year Level.

"Huang'er, you this..."

Countless doubts surged into her heart.

After Nan Feihuang reached the Sixtieth Level, the first seal of his Dunjia Heavenly Book was completely unlocked; even he himself did not expect it to be unlocked so quickly.

But after thinking about it a little, he basically understood.

This soul ring was obtained from the Sacrifice of the Titan Giant Ape, and it did not contain too much of the Spirit Beast's resentment or mental attacks; as long as the body could withstand the massive energy of a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, there would naturally be no problem.

Every ten levels for a Spirit Master is a threshold; every time one breaks through a stage, both soul power and physical attributes will receive an extremely significant increase.

In the original work, even Tang San at the Seventieth Level could rely on himself to raise a God-Bestowed Soul Ring to the Ten-Thousand-Year Level; with Nan Feihuang possessing a stronger innate Ghost God Body physique, could he not even withstand one sacrificed Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring at the Sixtieth Level?

"Mother, this story is very long, I will tell you slowly. Back then..." Nan Feihuang told Lan Xue the process of how he obtained the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring in a modified version.

And the version he modified was the one deduced by Xiao Wu and the Azure Bull Python.

Nan Feihuang did not want to expose his relationship with Red Hare; that would be very difficult to explain to Lan Xue. Transmigration and rebirth were his biggest secrets, and he would not tell anyone.

So, he would use a reasonable and useful explanation to gloss over this matter.

Moreover, in this way, when the Azure Bull Python sought them out, the situation Mother knew would be exactly the same as what they deduced; through confrontation between the two sides, it would be easier to make the Azure Bull Python believe it.

After listening to Nan Feihuang's story, Lan Xue sighed, "So that's how it is. My son actually had such a miraculous encounter. It is also fortunate that your Dunjia Heavenly Book has a technique to seal the power of a soul ring, otherwise you definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand such a strong soul ring at the time. Haha, think of that Tang Hao, who wanted to help his son obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, only for my son to pick up the ready-made bargain; it really makes one happy just thinking about it. He must have been mad with rage at the time."

"Yes, yes... Mother, as long as you are happy." Nan Feihuang smiled, while inwardly slandering, "Whether Tang Hao was mad with rage before, he didn't know, but very soon, he would truly go mad."

"By the way, Huang'er, then you are going to the Star Dou Great Forest this time to find the Titan Giant Ape's sworn brother, the Azure Bull Python, to explain the truth! Are you trying to lure it to deal with Tang Hao, and then have the snipe and the clam fight so the fisherman can reap the benefits?" Lan Xue quickly guessed Nan Feihuang's thoughts.

"As expected of my mother, truly clever. I do have this thought. The Azure Bull Python's Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and soul bone, and Tang Hao's six soul bones—I want them all!" Nan Feihuang said.

This was his main goal.

Actually, he had another reason; he knew that the Azure Bull Python must have spread its eyes and ears throughout the Star Dou Great Forest by now, and as soon as he stepped in, he would be discovered by it very quickly.

At that time, it would definitely come hunting for him.

Therefore, Feihuang needed his mother to accompany him, relying on his mother's Extreme Ice to defeat it, but he could not kill it.

After all, Feihuang had promised the Titan Giant Ape that when the Azure Bull Python came to his door for the first time, he would let it go once.

Nan Feihuang was not a good person, but he was definitely not someone who would casually break a promise; if he did not repay this promise first, even if he wanted to scheme against the Azure Bull Python later, he would lack the strength to do so.
