TL:free chapter in case i dont update tomorrow (i do be lazy like that)
After listening to Zhao Wuji and Ning Rongrong's stories, Jun Tianlin fell deep in thought. He knew that the day when the meteorite flew across the sky was his birthday. His father once told him that it was because of this mysterious phenomenon that he was named 'Tianlin' symbolizing a unicorn child sent from the heavens.
As for the sudden appearance of those powerful auras, Jun Tianlin had his own guesses. These were no ordinary soul beasts — they were the true kings of beast of the Douluo Continent.
While soul beasts like the Titan Giant Ape, Azure Bull Python, and Demon Soul Great White Shark were already formidable but Jun Tianlin believed they were still weaker compared to these ancient beasts. However, he knew those true rulers likely remained near the Lake of Life and absorbing the soul power of the near-million-year Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Only after the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's escape ten thousand years later would those terrifying beasts emerge into the world so until then, creatures like the Titan Giant Ape and Azure Bull Python would reign as emperors of the Star Dou Great Forest. But even their territories were merely the outskirts of the Lake of Life — they were, in essence, just gatekeepers.
'What exactly happened back then? Why did those ancient beasts show themselves?' Jun Tianlin wondered as he touched his chin in thought.
Deep inside a cavern within the Star Dou Great Forest, a massive sealed creature stirred awake. It was a giant worm the SkyDream Ice Silkworm 'That aura… Finally, he has come to the Star Dou Great Forest! My savior is here! But I can't move yet… I need to find a way to draw him closer!'
The silkworm began spreading its spiritual power in Jun Tianlin's direction.
Meanwhile, Jun Tianlin and the group encountered several small soul beasts along the way and whenever Dai Mubai wanted to attack, Jun Tianlin would stop him. Although soul beasts and humans naturally hunted each other in the Douluo Continent, unnecessary killing wasn't wise as The balance between humans and soul beasts was crucial for the continent's survival.
Suddenly, rustling sounds echoed through the forest. Jun Tianlin and Zhao Wuji both sensed it immediately. Tang San, though slower, quickly spotted movement through his Purple Demon Eye.
"Something's coming!" Zhao Wuji warned "Everyone, prepare for battle!"
The group quickly readied themselves. Jun Tianlin stood protectively in front of Ning Rongrong, remaining calm and based on the sound, he suspected it was the snake from the original novel.
"Zhu Zhuqing, scout ahead!" Zhao Wuji commanded
Zhu Zhuqing silently leaped onto a nearby tree. From her elevated position and she saw a snake moving quickly along the forest floor.
"It's a flying snake. It's not flying high but moving extremely fast" she reported
"Describe it" Tang San said
"It has a fleshy crest on its head, blood-red wings, and a fan-shaped tail. It's about six to eight meters long" Zhu Zhuqing replied
Tang San's eyes brightened "That's a thousand-year-old Phoenix-Tailed Crest Serpent! It's perfect for Oscar"
Indeed, the Phoenix-Tailed Crest Serpent was a speed-type soul beast suitable for food-type soul masters like Oscar and its non-toxic attributes made it less dangerous and its abilities would complement Oscar's martial soul perfectly.
"The Phoenix-Tailed Crest Serpent isn't very aggressive" Tang San explained "It's ideal for you, Oscar!"
Jun Tianlin stepped forward with a smile "Let me help you catch it, Oscar. I have a method to restrain it."
Oscar was surprised and he hadn't expected Jun Tianlin to offer help. Over time, he had mostly let go of his feelings for Ning Rongrong and though he still harbored some jealousy toward Jun Tianlin. Yet here Jun Tianlin was extending a friendly hand.
Jun Tianlin's motives weren't purely selfless. He saw potential in Oscar and believed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would benefit from having the future God of Cookery on their side and unlike Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling, who excelled in high-level support, Oscar's abilities had strategic value in large-scale wars. His food-type soul skills could provide sustenance for tens of thousands of soldiers while offering various enhancements.
Jun Tianlin envisioned a future where the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would dominate in both small skirmishes and large-scale battles. Oscar would be key to achieving that goal.
"Thank you, Brother Jun" Oscar said sincerely and feeling a mix of gratitude and shame and compared to Jun Tianlin's generosity, his own jealousy seemed petty.
Seeing this Tang San grew concerned "Brother Jun, the Phoenix-Tailed Crest Serpent is extremely fast. Are you sure you can handle it alone?"
Jun Tianlin chuckled "Don't worry, Brother Tang. Didn't you see my swordsmanship back at the Great Spirit Arena? Now, let me show you another unique skill."
From his Ruyi Treasure Bag Jun Tianlin took out several stones. These weren't ordinary stones — they were infused with soul power, allowing him to set up a simple formation.
These formation stones can trap the snake for a short time,They may not work on high-level soul masters, but for this serpent it's More than enough.
