Yu Zhen gave a soft sigh, his expression filled with emotion. Ordinary Hundred-Year Soul Spirits naturally meant nothing in his eyes, but these three Hundred-Year Soul Spirits that Ji Hongyu had carefully chosen for Yu Nanyuan were all extraordinary specimens.

"Lao Ji, these should be Inherited Soul Spirits your Donghai Spirit Transfer Pagoda has treasured for a long time."

So-called Inherited Soul Spirits referred to Soul Spirits created from Soul Beasts that had truly existed. They were fundamentally different from Artificial Soul Spirits. Artificial Soul Spirits were merely inferior products made by extracting part of a Soul Beast's genes.

Without a doubt, the Soul Skills granted to Soul Masters by Artificial Soul Spirits were far less powerful than the Soul Skills brought to Soul Masters by Inherited Soul Spirits. This was also the most fundamental reason why Modern Era Soul Masters were weaker in Soul Skills than Soul Masters of the Ancient Era and Primeval Era. The development of Soul Spirits had not brought only benefits.

Ji Hongyu smiled calmly.

"Old Yu, what are you getting sentimental about? As his elder, could I possibly hold anything back in front of Nanyuan?"

At this point, Ji Hongyu paid Yu Zhen no further attention and turned to introduce them to Yu Nanyuan.

"Nanyuan, although your Spiritual Power realm has already reached the Spirit Connection Realm Middle Stage and your Spiritual Sea is sufficient to carry a Soul Spirit below Three Thousand-Year Cultivation, your Body Strength still can't support you directly fusing with a Thousand Year Soul Spirit. These three Soul Spirits can be considered the existences in our Donghai Spirit Transfer Pagoda whose attributes and Year Limits suit you best. With your talent, sooner or later you'll be able to use the Spirit Ascension Platform to raise your Soul Spirit's cultivation to the Thousand Year Level or even higher. There's no need to rush and take the risk of absorbing a Soul Spirit above your level."

"I understand, Grandpa Ji." Yu Nanyuan's face was filled with a gentle smile, not at all swayed by the several top-grade Soul Spirits that had appeared on the Soul Guidance Screens. It was not only because of the broad horizons brought by his background, but even more because of that portion of memories from his previous life.

Among the three Soul Spirits before him, the best in quality should have been that Thorn Dragon with over eight hundred years of cultivation, but he was the first to exclude it from his choices.

Ji Hongyu nodded appreciatively and said, "Good. Then Grandpa Ji will introduce them to you in detail next. First is this Thorn Dragon. The Thorn Dragon is an extremely rare member of the Sub-dragon Race. Among all Sub-Dragon Soul Beasts, it stands at the very strongest tier. Not only does it possess powerful offensive and defensive capabilities, the key is that it also has space-type abilities. This Thorn Dragon will most likely bring you an offensive Soul Skill with astonishing killing power and destructive force. Although its cultivation is slightly high, with me helping you complete the Soul Spirit Contract Ritual from the side, fusing with it definitely won't be a problem."

Along with Ji Hongyu's introduction, a scene appeared on the central Soul Guidance Screen.

It was a strange Soul Beast slowly walking forward. Its body was slender, and its back was covered in sharp spikes. It was roughly three meters long, with its hind limbs on the ground, while its forelimbs seemed rather small. The spikes on its body were all black, but the skin across its whole body and its pair of eyes were a bizarre bright silver.

"In addition, this Century Void Worm is also a good choice. The Void Worm is an Ancient Strange Species, and even in the Primeval Era and Ancient Era, it rarely appeared in the world. They themselves don't possess much Combat Power and merely live within Space Rifts, growing by devouring the power of Space Attribute Elements. However, they do control several mysterious Space Attribute Soul Skills."

The appearance of the Void Worm emerged on the Soul Guidance Screen on the left. Its entire body was silvery white, about one foot long, and covered all over with dazzling scales like silver gemstones.

Immediately afterward, the mutated Man Faced Demon Spider also appeared on the Soul Guidance Screen on the right. Its form was no different from an ordinary Man Faced Demon Spider, except that its body was no longer an eerie black, but gold and silver. Its silver carapace, spider legs, and the golden human face on its abdomen made it look somewhat less ferocious.

"As for this Man Faced Demon Spider, although it is a rare mutated individual, its ability in the space attribute is still far inferior to the Thorn Dragon and Void Worm. Of course, it is equally suitable for you."

Ji Hongyu hit the nail on the head as he pointed out the pros and cons of choosing to fuse with these three types of Soul Spirits for Yu Nanyuan. Relatively speaking, choosing to fuse with the Thorn Dragon meant taking a route inclined toward offense and killing. Choosing the Void Worm leaned more toward control, while choosing the Man Faced Demon Spider would be more balanced. After all, this kind of Soul Spirit truly made from a Soul Beast was different from an Artificial Soul Spirit. It could help a Soul Master fight from the very beginning. Its own Combat Power was also a reference point that could not be ignored.

However, as for the final choice, it still depended on Yu Nanyuan himself.

Yu Nanyuan frowned slightly. Apart from the Thorn Dragon, which he had long since removed from his list of candidates, to be honest, neither the Void Worm nor the Man Faced Demon Spider met his expectations. In fact, when his Martial Soul awakened earlier, he had not yet had time to tell Ji Hongyu and Yu Zhen about all the abilities of his own Martial Soul.

The Void Worm's Innate Soul Skill was very likely to overlap with his Martial Soul's Innate Ability, while the space attribute ability possessed by this Man Faced Demon Spider was a little too weak.

The Thorn Dragon was indeed a better choice, but it was destined to be firmly suppressed by Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon King Bloodline.

Noticing the faint smile that flashed through Ji Hongyu's eyes, Yu Nanyuan's heart suddenly stirred, and he said with a soft laugh, "Grandpa Ji, I think there should be other choices, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Yu Zhen also looked over in some surprise. Then he saw Ji Hongyu take out his Soul Guidance Communicator and dial a number.

"I am Ji Hongyu. I request that Number One Hundred and Eight be transported to the Donghai Spirit Transfer Pagoda."

"Lao Ji, is the other side Spirit Transfer Pagoda Headquarters?" Yu Zhen instantly realized something and could not help asking.

"That Number One Hundred and Eight is..."

"An Unsubmissive Soul Spirit," Ji Hongyu said with a solemn expression. "Number One Hundred and Eight is its designation among all the Unsubmissive Soul Spirits at Spirit Transfer Pagoda Headquarters. Its true body is called the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake."

When they heard Ji Hongyu mention an Unsubmissive Soul Spirit, Yu Zhen and Yu Nanyuan's gazes both narrowed slightly. Especially this Unsubmissive Soul Spirit called the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake—they had never even heard any information about this type of Soul Beast before.

"The Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake is a creature from a Different Dimension. After descending upon the Douluo Plane, it was influenced by the Plane Laws and thus gained the characteristics of a Soul Beast. It is born able to shuttle through the void and is the natural enemy of Void Worms. The reason Void Worms went extinct is mainly because of the existence of this Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake. Although this Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake only has five hundred years of cultivation, it is very likely the only remaining survivor of the Silver Wing Void Piercing Snake race." As Ji Hongyu explained, he once again pressed the button on the black metal object in his hand.

The three Soul Guidance Screens hanging from the ceiling combined together, and the image changed once more.

This was a dense primeval forest. Thick trees rose from the ground one after another, and great swaths of shrubs surrounded them, the whole place filled with rich life aura. Even when viewed from high in the sky, the forest's edge could not be seen at a glance. The sounds of insects and birds were especially distinct.

Suddenly, the arrival of an uninvited guest instantly plunged this area into silence.

Silver light flickered, and space split open. Through that Space Rift, the deep Outer Space could be vaguely seen. A silver streak of light flashed out from within, its figure actually so fast that the naked eye could barely catch it. In the blink of an eye, countless identical silver Space Rifts appeared above this stretch of space. That figure flickered continuously among them, rushing toward the depths of the forest at an extremely astonishing speed.

Sensing the existence of this aura, the entire forest seemed to grow restless.
