NOVEL NEXT Chapter 124: Chapter 124
"You, are you kidding? Do you know what the God Realm is like? There are several God Kings, dozens of main gods, and countless second-level and third-level gods. The weakest among them is a hundred times stronger than the Ultimate Douluo on the continent," Tian Meng asked trembling. It was truly hard for it to believe what the descendant of Nuwa had just said.
"Ever since I followed the Holy Spirit Pearl into this world, I have roughly sensed what you call the God King. It is precisely because I understand this that I can make such a judgment. Although I am the descendant of Nuwa, my strength at my prime is far less than even the tip of the iceberg of the goddess's power. Even so, to be honest, I still feel that the power of the God King you mentioned is not that great" the descendant of Nuwa said calmly. Her tone carried such confidence that Tian Meng couldn't help but believe her words.
It was simply because she was too composed—there was no way to fake the aura of someone who did not take even a God King seriously.
"So, you can save Xiaotian? And after Xiaotian obtains your Holy Spirit Pearl, can he grow to the level of Nuwa, the goddess you mentioned?" Tian Meng asked hopefully and if this was true, then it had made an incredible bargain.
However, the descendant of Nuwa immediately poured cold water on its hopes, shaking her head and saying "Reaching the level of Nuwa? That's impossible. The Holy Spirit Pearl is merely one of Nuwa's magical instruments. Even if it were developed to its limit, it could never reach her level."
Hearing this, Tian Meng felt a bit disappointed. But before it could dwell on that feeling the next words from the descendant of Nuwa pulled it back from its loss.
"You don't have to be so obviously disappointed. Although Xiaotian can't grow to possess power as immense as the goddess, reaching my level is still possible" she assured
"Since the Holy Spirit Pearl came to this world, it has adapted to the rules of this world and has begun to condense into a godhood on its own. I am the examiner and guide for whether Xiaotian will be able to achieve this godhood in the future. This godhood is far higher than the godhood of the God King you mentioned. You don't have to worry about making the wrong bet!"
"Great! Then please help save Xiaotian!" Tian Meng said excitedly and rekindling its hope. It had never been greedy to begin with. If Jun Tianlin could inherit a first-level god position in the future, then it would already be more than satisfied
But now, there was an already-prepared Super God King-level throne. What else was there to worry about?
The descendant of Nuwa smiled slightly and said "Alright, but this is the only time I can help him. By the way, little bug, don't tell Xiaotian about me for now. When he officially begins the assessment, I will show up and meet him."
"Okay, I got it!" Tian Meng nodded repeatedly. It didn't dare to disobey the unfathomable descendant of the goddess Nuwa, or otherwise, if she turned him into roasted silkworm, that would be too unfair!
The figure of Nuwa's descendant once again merged into the Holy Spirit Pearl. At this moment, the Holy Spirit Pearl emitted a dazzling light, and the Holy Breath Barrier began to transform. Not only did it become more sacred, but its range also started expanding continuously.
The entire Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire Well was completely enveloped by this barrier. Within its encirclement, the herbs began to grow rapidly, and some that would have required a year or two to mature fully ripened instantly.
"What a strong vitality! Xiaotian's Holy Breath Barrier has evolved into a Holy Spirit Realm!" Tian Meng said joyfully
"Little bug, I have sealed the lifespan of your spirit ring for 700,000 years, leaving 200,000 years for you. Now, Xiaotian only has a mere 100,000 years of energy left, so he should be able to hold on within the Holy Spirit Realm" the descendant of Nuwa transmitted her message
"I understand. It's just that my sealing technique isn't very refined. I'm afraid that the energy of 200,000 years will gradually dissipate" Tian Meng admitted awkwardly. It had just broken through a million years and hadn't even had the time to learn such techniques properly
"Then you should remind Xiaotian to cultivate diligently. As his level increases, his spirit ring will gradually unseal. Or, you can find some other way to utilize this excess power. Otherwise, this overflowing energy will be wasted. In addition to the sword and the spirit pearl, there is another thing that came to this world with Xiaotian. This will be his greatest test in the future. Remember, you must urge Xiaotian not to slack off" the descendant of Nuwa warned
"Sister, what kind of test is it? Can you tell me clearly?" Tian Meng asked anxiously. However, no reply came. The descendant of Nuwa had likely returned to the depths of the Holy Spirit Pearl and entered a deep slumber once again.
At this moment, with the help of the Holy Spirit Realm, Jun Tianlin's injuries—both physical and spiritual—were healing at an incredibly fast rate. As he gradually regained consciousness, he slowly opened his eyes and murmured "Brother Tian Meng, are we dead?"
Tian Meng fiercely shook his soul sea "Damn you! Your barrier has evolved into a domain. What are you waiting for? Hurry up and continue meditating. This time, we must absorb the soul ring and soul bone in one go!"
"Okay, Brother Tian Meng!" Although Jun Tianlin didn't understand why his Holy Spirit Pearl had suddenly become so powerful, he knew this was an opportunity he couldn't waste.
He immediately resumed meditation and concentrated on absorbing the soul ring and soul bone. Although the pain was still immense, it was now within his tolerance. He could endure this!
His body was continuously damaged by the million-year soul ring and only to be rapidly repaired by the Holy Spirit Realm. This cycle of destruction and recovery continued for seven days.
Finally, late at night on the seventh day, with an earth-shaking roar, Jun Tianlin's immense mental power erupted and instantly enveloped the entire Sunset Forest.
Inside the forest, countless soul beasts were frightened out of their wits by the overwhelming pressure. Even a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast would likely not possess such immense spiritual power. Many speculated whether a ferocious beast from the Star Dou Great Forest had arrived.
Tian Meng was ecstatic "Haha! Xiaotian, you succeeded! My million-year spirit ring and million-year spirit bone have perfectly fused with you. From now on, we will become the strongest existence together!"
"That's right. Thank you so much, Brother Tian Meng!" Jun Tianlin looked up at the sky. The past few days had been the most painful experience of his life. But now that all his suffering had finally paid off, a tear rolled down his cheek.
"Xiaotian, what's wrong? Was it too painful? This is something you must endure to become strong. You should be happy now. Do you know how powerful your spiritual energy is? Even though most of it is restricted by your level, you can still easily kill weaker Soul Emperors or even Soul Saints in an instant!" Tian Meng comforted
Jun Tianlin shook his head "No, Brother Tian Meng, the pain isn't worth my tears. What truly makes me relieved is that the massive mountain weighing on my shoulders—Spirit Hall—no longer feels so oppressive. I was always afraid that I wouldn't be able to protect my family and friends from them, but now, I am not afraid anymore."
"Whether it's Spirit Hall or the two great empires—let them come!"
"Xiaotian, there's nothing to fear. Don't forget, we have an even greater goal" Tian Meng reminded
Jun Tianlin wiped away his tears and smiled slightly. He had regained his composure. Sitting cross-legged, he began to consolidate his soul power. After all, absorbing a million-year soul ring and spirit bone had definitely pushed his cultivation forward. He had already broken through level 50, but his exact level would only be determined after he hunted for his fifth soul ring.
