Chapter 119: Preparing for the Great War, Tang San
Upon hearing Di Tian's words, Bi Ji's expression changed instantly.
For the entire Star Dou Great Forest, the existence of the Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, was of extreme importance.
Under the influence of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, ordinary soul beasts could accelerate their growth and become high-level soul beasts sooner.
For the Beast Kings who were already top-tier powerhouses, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was even more critical!
With the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's control over fate, when they went to face the soul beast tribulation that occurred every 100,000 years, they were undoubtedly much safer, and their success rate would even more than double!
Moreover, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could accelerate the improvement of their cultivation. It was precisely because of the existence of this Auspicious Beast that the Star Dou Great Forest steadily maintained its status as the number one gathering place for soul beasts on the Douluo Continent!
At this moment, when Di Tian said that something had happened to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, how could Bi Ji not be shocked! It was not just her; the expressions of the Wan Yao Wang, Xiong Jun, and Zi Ji also changed drastically.
Xiong Jun even cursed out loud, "Who the hell did this! I'll kill their whole family!!"
Xiong Jun couldn't help but be furious. He had absorbed the origin power of the Tianmeng Bingcan for over a year, and he was getting closer and closer to his 500,000-year soul beast tribulation! Who could have imagined that at such a critical juncture, something would happen to the Auspicious Beast! Wasn't this costing him his life?
For a time, the entire Star Dou Great Forest radiated waves of murderous aura.
Hearing Xiong Jun's angry cursing, Di Tian rarely didn't reprimand him this time, but instead spoke slowly: "Humans!"
Xiong Jun's eyes were grim as he looked up at Di Tian and said, "Humans! Humans!!"
"Di Tian, don't try to stop me this time. This world should have been ruled by us in the first place! These humans are too excessive; they are becoming increasingly insatiable, even threatening the survival of our entire race!"
"Although you sensed a few wisps of divine aura, no true god has ever appeared on this continent!"
"Di Tian, let's wage war on the humans!!"
"Only by killing that human and taking back the power of fate, allowing the Star Dou Great Forest to give birth to another Auspicious Beast, will we have hope!!"
Listening to Xiong Jun's words, Di Tian was silent for only a moment before nodding: "All members of the Star Dou Great Forest, prepare for war!"
Bi Ji was about to speak, but Di Tian raised his hand to stop her: "Bi Ji, we must take action this time! The power of fate of the Star Dou Great Forest cannot remain outside!"
"For the sake of the soul beast race, this battle must be fought!"
Hearing this, Bi Ji no longer tried to dissuade him. To some extent, the importance of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to the Star Dou Great Forest was even greater than that of these Great Fierce Beasts.
When Di Tian issued the order, the entire Star Dou Great Forest began to operate quietly.
The Spirit Empire.
After Ye Ming used the Hidden Scale Gu to conceal his figure, he entered the city with ease.
With his current strength, by activating this Gu, it was impossible for anyone other than some powerful Titled Douluo to discover him.
After entering the city, he found the location of the Spirit Hall and snuck in. He spent most of the day walking around the Spirit Hall several times.
Except for Bibi Dong's Pope Palace and the Douluo Hall where Qian Daoliu resided, he wandered through every other area.
Now that he carried the power of fate transferred by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, in the eyes of Di Tian and the others, he was like a giant human-shaped lightbulb.
He wandered around those few times precisely to leave a mark of the aura of the power of fate on his body within the Spirit Hall.
In this way, Di Tian and the others will naturally rush here when the time comes.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue both possessed divine inheritances, and he wanted to take action against fierce beasts like Xiong Jun. The best way was naturally to fish in troubled waters.
After finishing these tasks, Ye Ming found a deserted corner of the Spirit Hall, quietly opened the portal to the Fox Immortal Blessed Land, and walked in.
That black space portal returned to its normal appearance after he entered.
"Even if Di Tian launches a beast tide, it will take some time to reach the Spirit Hall."
"Taking advantage of this time, I can just go into the Blessed Land to cultivate!"
As Ye Ming pondered, he arrived at the palace within the Fox Immortal Blessed Land.
The Fox Immortal Earth Spirit ran out immediately and called out to Ye Ming in a soft, milky voice: "Master, you're back!"
Ye Ming rubbed the Fox Immortal's head and said, "Send me to the three great secret realms; thank you for your hard work."
The Fox Immortal squinted her eyes, her face flushed with a red glow, "It's not hard work at all."
With a wave of her small hand, a drop of Green Grape Immortal Essence Liquid in the golden bowl within the palace dissolved. Consuming a tiny bit of the Immortal Essence Liquid, Ye Ming's figure was instantly teleported in front of the three great secret realms within the Blessed Land.
The Earth Spirit maintained the operation of the entire Blessed Land; as long as there was Immortal Essence, this could be done easily.
The three great secret realms were not far apart. At first glance, Ye Ming saw the Danghun Shan, which was entirely pink, as if cast from crystal, and constantly radiating dreamy, hazy colors.
This Danghun Shan constantly radiated a special fluctuation that could shake the soul, making it a dead zone for all living things. When the souls of living beings were shattered on the mountain and combined with the Danghun Shan, they could form gallstones. From these gallstones, Courage Gu could be hatched, which was the best choice for strengthening the soul.
This was already the second time Ye Ming had seen the Danghun Shan. Last time, relying on the system reward, he had absorbed quite a few Courage Gu within the Danghun Shan, raising his soul to the level of a Hundred-Person Soul.
Later, with the improvement of his physical fitness, the limit his soul could accommodate also increased significantly. After absorbing Chi Wang's soul, his soul foundation was already close to the level of a Thousand-Person Soul.
This time, the Danghun Shan was a system reward, and the special soul-shaking fluctuation it produced had no effect on him.
Ye Ming walked onto the Danghun Shan and took out the Soul-Gathering Gu that sealed Tang San's soul from his aperture. "Third Brother, I've found you a good place!"
With a light shake, Tang San's soul flew out from the Soul-Gathering Gu.
Just then, the shaking fluctuation of the Danghun Shan arrived, and Tang San's soul was directly shattered, subsequently being absorbed by the entire Danghun Shan.
With this, Tang San's soul was completely scattered.
After doing all this, Ye Ming knocked down a few more gallstones and absorbed the Courage Gu within them.
He discovered that his current soul had grown to a limit; absorbing more Courage Gu would likely be counterproductive.
If it were before, he could only rely on other means to refine and calm the soul to further strengthen it.
But right now, with the Luo Po Gu and the An Hun Hu, all that was needed to improve his soul foundation was time!
After descending from the Danghun Shan, Ye Ming arrived at the Luo Po Gu. The entire Luo Po Gu was like a large maze, winding and twisting.
Within it spread a Bewilderment Mist that could loosen the soul. The Soul-Falling Wind that blew from time to time specifically cut the soul and was the best choice for soul refinement.
Ye Ming's soul was now strengthened, and he needed to use this Bewilderment Mist and Soul-Falling Wind to refine his soul.
As the Bewilderment Mist blew, Ye Ming felt waves of pleasure coming from the depths of his soul, as if his whole person were about to fly into the clouds. He sensed that his originally condensed soul had loosened significantly.
For three consecutive days, he relied on the Bewilderment Mist to completely loosen his condensed soul. This feeling was easy for people to become addicted to and unable to extricate themselves from.
If one truly became addicted to it, the end would inevitably be the scattering of the soul.
Ye Ming kept his heart and mind, and after his soul was completely loosened, he sought out the Soul-Falling Wind to cut his soul and further refine it.
As the Soul-Falling Wind cut the soul, agony arose, and pain came from the depths of his mind, making it unbearable.
Even so, Ye Ming gritted his teeth and persisted within it!
Since we realize our own insignificance, we should become even stronger. We were insignificant to begin with; we just went from ignorance to knowledge. You feel pain because you are growing.
Facing difficulties and overcoming them, life is full of brilliance everywhere! After five consecutive days, Ye Ming walked out of the Luo Po Gu and arrived at the side of the An Hun Hu.
The lake water was like wine, with fragrance overflowing.
Just by smelling this fragrance, Ye Ming felt his loosened, restless soul gradually settle down, no longer restless.
The water in the An Hun Hu was Soul-Soul Soup, also known as Soul-Calming Wine. It could settle the soul and remove impurities within it, making it the best choice for calming the soul.
Ye Ming took out a jade bowl from his storage space, filled a bowl of Soul-Calming Soup, and gulped it down.
His face instantly turned crimson, and the next moment, he collapsed by the lake and fell into a deep sleep.
The Fox Immortal, who had been watching him, rushed over anxiously. Seeing that Ye Ming had only fallen asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief.
She landed beside Ye Ming and took out a Fox Fur Brocade Robe to cover him. Then she guarded him, resting her chin on one hand, occasionally poking Ye Ming's face with her small hand, staring at him with her bright, watery eyes.
Tiandou City, Tiandou Imperial Palace.
Ning Fengzhi and Xue Beng were discussing in the Crown Prince Palace, with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo guarding their sides.
"It's been over ten days, and Rongrong and the others still haven't returned!"
"This shouldn't be!"
Ning Fengzhi frowned and asked Chen Xin beside him: "Uncle Jian, why don't you take a trip to the Sunset Forest!"
"I feel uneasy in my heart, as if something is about to happen."
"Even if it takes time for Xiao San to resurrect Xiao Wu, it shouldn't take this long!"
Xue Beng beside him couldn't help but nod, his face full of anxiety.
"Yes! The Spirit Empire is secretly mobilizing troops, and I'm worried that this great war is about to arrive!"
Currently, the the Heaven Dou Empire's military strength was empty, and Tang San and the others were already considered high-end combat power! For example, Yu Xiaogang, although his own strength was poor, had many ideas about marching and fighting. Once the war started, Xue Beng intended to let him serve as the commander of the army!
Especially Ye Ming, whose combat power was comparable to a Titled Douluo. With the war imminent, how could he not be anxious that such combat power was not in the the Heaven Dou Empire! Hearing this, Chen Xin nodded. He regarded Ning Rongrong as his own granddaughter.
Now that there had been no news of Ning Rongrong for so long, he was also very anxious.
With a 'whoosh', he stepped into the air and flew towards the outside of the city.
A few minutes later, Chen Xin returned, rushing down from the sky and arriving at the Crown Prince Palace.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead as he spoke to the crowd:
"Your Highness, Sect Master, it's bad!"
"The beast tide is here!"
