Chapter 422: Seeking Chitu, The Choice

On the other side, after parting ways with Lv Lingqi and the Covering World Dragon Snake couple, Nan Feihuang headed straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.

He did not venture deep, but instead found a remote spot on the outskirts, then took out the Red Mane of Chitu and began to summon Chitu.

Before long, red light swirled upon a hill, and a majestic, fiery-red steed leaped down, standing before Nan Feihuang; it was indeed Chitu.

"Master, do you summon me for a Spirit Ring?" Chitu had keen eyes and saw at a glance that Nan Feihuang had already reached the Spirit Douluo level; given his physique, as long as some seals were applied, he was fully capable of bearing his Spirit Ring.

"Yes, the things that needed to be done are done, and next, I must face a massive challenge," Nan Feihuang said. "Perhaps the next opponent I face will be one of the strongest on this continent. With my current strength, I have little chance of winning against him, so I hope to borrow your power to help me break through to Title Douluo in one go. When I face that old fellow then, I will have absolute certainty."

"Chitu, I want to use the Spirit Ring and soul bone born from your million-year cultivation to make up for my five?"

He did not believe that Chitu could not do what the Azure Ox Python and Titan Giant Ape from the original story could do.

"Of course I can, this is not a difficult task for me," Chitu said. "But Master, I do not advise you to do this."

Feihuang was puzzled, "Why?"

Chitu replied, "Because of the God Trial. Master, do you know the biggest difference between your God Trial and the native God Trials of Douluo Continent?"

Nan Feihuang thought for a moment and said, "The difference? It should be the method of becoming a god. My God Position belongs only to me and will not appear on the hub of the God Realm. Furthermore, there is no leader like the High Priest of Sea God Island or the Great High Priest of the Angel God."

Chitu nodded, "Master is wise and hits the mark immediately. Just as you said, your God Trial has no leader. For those like the Sea God or Angel God, their inheritors only need to pass the trials to increase their affinity with their God Position. When the affinity reaches over one hundred percent, even if the candidate's cultivation is only around level 95 or 96 at the time, they can use the leader's Sacrifice as a bridge to communicate with the gods of the God Realm and forcibly ascend to godhood."

"But you, to become a deity in the future, must proceed step by step, first cultivating to level 99, then breaking through to level 100. Master, no matter how much of a genius you are, after reaching the Title Douluo realm, it will take at least ten years to cultivate to level 99."

Nan Feihuang frowned; Chitu was right. Ten years was a conservative estimate.

This was not the era of Douluo III where cultivation was so easy. If Yun Ming, who went from Title Douluo to Limit Douluo in eight years, were placed in this era, it would be absolutely impossible.

Not to mention how much time it would take to break through the limit from level 99 to level 100.

But Nan Feihuang did not have that much time. Bibi Dong had been undergoing trials for nearly twenty years, and with her talent, she would surely finish in a few more years.

Perhaps it would be even earlier than in the original story. After all, the Rakshasa God is a deity full of evil thoughts. In the past, Bibi Dong still had the Master as a weakness, but now that the Master is dead, she acts with even fewer scruples and will become more compatible with the God Position, so her efficiency will inevitably increase. As for Qian Renxue, her path to godhood is even easier and more convenient; it is no exaggeration to say this God Position was half-sold and half-given. Tang San said she was "taking things for granted," and he was not actually wrong.

"So Chitu, you want to preserve your power to help me charge toward level 99 in the future?" Nan Feihuang asked.

"Yes, Master." That was exactly what Chitu meant. "Master, back then, I thought of that Sacrifice method of sealing the Spirit Ring with you, but I did not anticipate that your power growth speed would be so fast, so I changed my mind."

"Sealing the Spirit Ring's power and then performing the Sacrifice is certainly feasible, but during the sealing process, the soul power within the Spirit Ring will inevitably be lost in large quantities; would that not be a pity? But if I perform the Sacrifice after you break through to Title Douluo or even Super Douluo, perhaps there will be no need for sealing, allowing the Spirit Ring to fuse perfectly with you, and the soul power within the Spirit Ring can be completely injected into your body."

"Could it be that even with my current physique, I am not enough to fully bear your Spirit Ring? Besides, you can sacrifice the Spirit Ring and soul bone at the same time to further improve my physique," Feihuang suggested.

His current physique was far stronger than that of an average Super Douluo, and with the powerful carrying capacity of the Ghost God Body, he actually had some confidence in bearing a million-year Spirit Ring.

Chitu shook his head, "If it were any other million-year Spirit Beast, your current physique and soul strength would indeed be enough to bear it perfectly without any danger. But mine is different. Although I transformed into a Spirit Beast after entering this world, I am actually slightly different from the native Spirit Beasts of this world. All of my power is in the Spirit Ring."

"All in the Spirit Ring? What do you mean? Can you not produce a soul bone?" Nan Feihuang was stunned. Wasn't this the same as that fellow Tianmeng? "Yes, I cannot produce a soul bone, but the strength of the million-year Spirit Ring I produce is more than double that of other million-year Spirit Rings. Master can understand it as my Spirit Ring and soul bone being fused into one. Therefore, the power of this Spirit Ring is so strong that if it is not sealed, even your current physique would not be enough to bear it. Unless, Master, you can reach Super Douluo on your own and achieve a full set of soul bones, preferably forming Spirit Bone Armor, only then can you perfectly accommodate my Spirit Ring," Chitu said proudly. If it unleashed its full power, it was not something the native Spirit Beasts of Douluo Continent could compare to.

"So that's how it is!" Nan Feihuang understood a little. "Alright, in that case, I will improve to level 95 as soon as possible. I have a way to finish becoming a Title Douluo within two years, and then reach level 95 in another two years. Chitu, four years, can you still hold on?" Nan Feihuang's only worry was that Chitu would no longer be able to suppress its cultivation and could not wait that long.

"In these years, I have diligently practiced the technique of suppressing power that you passed to me, and now it has reached Perfection. As long as I do not fight, I can hold on for four years," Chitu said confidently. "However, there is one point that you must indeed pay attention to. Master, please take out your Dunjia Heavenly Book first."

Hearing this, Nan Feihuang did not ask any more questions and directly extended his left hand to summon the Dunjia Heavenly Book.

Chitu stimulated its soul power, and the Heavenly Book flipped pages automatically, arriving at the page for Guardian Spirit Beast. Red light flashed on Chitu's forehead as it poured its soul power toward that page.

Soon, that page was completely filled.

On it were drawn four Spirit Beasts.

Above was Chitu, below was Xiao Wu, on the left was Titan, and on the right was Tianqing.
