Evolution, Thousand-Year Spirit Soul Aged Silkworm

Not long after.

Lin Ximeng and Zhao Tao arrived at the Spirit Communication Tower branch located in the center of Aolai City.

It was an octagonal building, three stories high, appearing square and very spacious.

Although it couldn't compare to the eighty-one-story Spirit Communication Tower Headquarters, the Spirit Communication Tower branch was still one of the most magnificent buildings in Aolai City.

After stating their purpose, the Spirit Transmitter on duty explained the value of Spirit Souls to Zhao Tao:

Randomly drawn Spirit Soul: 30,000 Federal Coins, but might be a defective product. Ten-Year White Spirit Soul: 70,000 Federal Coins. Hundred-Year Yellow Spirit Soul: 1,000,000 Federal Coins!

"I want to buy a Hundred-Year Spirit Soul!"

Hearing the Spirit Transmitter's words, Zhao Tao answered without hesitation.

Although one million Federal Coins was not a small sum, it was still an affordable amount for Zhao Tao.

After all, as a Reborn One, Zhao Tao was a master of all trades!

Before his rebirth, Zhao Tao had already advanced his four secondary professions—Blacksmithing, Mecha Design, Mecha Manufacturing, and Mecha Repair—to level nine.

Although after rebirth, due to Soul Power limitations, Zhao Tao certainly couldn't achieve Spirit Forging or design Battle Armor.

However, creating Thousand-Forged Metal or designing some Mecha Blueprints was not a problem for Zhao Tao at all!

With the income from these secondary professions, one million Federal Coins was truly not a significant amount for the current Zhao Tao!

"Alright, before selecting a Spirit Soul, let's do a Spiritual Power test for you first."

After paying the fee for the Spirit Soul.

The Spirit Transmitter, with a pleasant expression, led Zhao Tao into a room filled with various instruments and placed a metal helmet on Zhao Tao's head.

Accompanying a buzzing sound, numbers flickered on the Soul Guide Screen beside Zhao Tao, finally stabilizing.

"One hundred and fifty points, Spirit Connection Realm Early Stage. This, this is simply incredible!"

Looking at the Spiritual Power displayed on the screen, the Spirit Transmitter was filled with disbelief!

In the Legend of the Dragon King Era, Soul Masters' Spiritual Power was divided into six major tiers: Spirit Origin Realm, Spirit Connection Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, Spirit Abyss Realm, Spirit Domain Realm, and Divine Origin Realm.

Generally speaking, for a young child like Zhao Tao, having Spiritual Power reach 30 points, which was Spirit Origin Realm Mid Stage, was already considered exceptionally talented.

Even the Spirit Transmitter himself only had a mere sixty to seventy points of Spiritual Power.

Zhao Tao's Spiritual Power, however, reached a staggering one hundred and fifty points. This was naturally astonishing!

Zhao Tao was not surprised by this result.

As a Transmigrator, Zhao Tao's Spiritual Power was inherently stronger than that of ordinary children.

While improving the Time Meditation Method, Zhao Tao had also specifically incorporated a section for tempering Spiritual Power into the meditation method.

After all, Zhao Tao understood that in this era where Spirit Souls reigned supreme, the importance of powerful Spiritual Power was no less than that of Spirit Soul Rank!

With the superposition of these two factors, it was no wonder that Zhao Tao's Spiritual Power had reached the Spirit Connection Realm.

Of course, the Spirit Transmitter and Lin Ximeng, who witnessed this scene, both looked as if they had lost the will to live. They even suspected the instrument was malfunctioning and helped Zhao Tao re-test his Spiritual Power.

"It's actually the Spirit Connection Realm, unbelievable."

"It's a pity your Innate Soul Power disadvantage is a bit too big..."

"Otherwise, you would definitely grow into a towering powerhouse in the future!"

After confirming Zhao Tao's Spiritual Power, the Spirit Transmitter quickly retrieved Zhao Tao's file.

When he saw Zhao Tao's Innate Soul Power, he could only sigh deeply, filled with regret, and led Zhao Tao to the warehouse where Spirit Souls were kept.

"These Spirit Souls are all the Hundred-Year Spirit Souls available in our Aolai City, including all common basic Spirit Souls."

"Of course, if you don't find a Spirit Soul you're satisfied with among these, you can also request rarer Spirit Souls from the Spirit Communication Tower Headquarters."

"But the price, well, it won't be solved with just one million."

The Spirit Transmitter introduced as he gestured towards the dazzling array of Hundred-Year Spirit Souls.

"Mm, I understand. It's this one."

Hearing the Spirit Transmitter's words, Zhao Tao nodded. He pretended to choose carefully for a moment before finally stopping in front of a Spirit Soul named "Spring Silkworm."

Although the Spring Silkworm was not a traditionally powerful Spirit Soul, it had excellent compatibility with the Spring Autumn Cicada.

Furthermore, it could absorb the Power of Time and continuously evolve, eventually breaking its cocoon to become a Time Butterfly, and even evolve further!

Before his rebirth, one of Zhao Tao's Spirit Souls was the Time Butterfly. It had proven its power and its compatibility with the Spring Autumn Cicada.

This was precisely why Zhao Tao chose it as his Spirit Soul.

"As a benefit for purchasing a Hundred-Year Spirit Soul, you can complete your breakthrough within our Spirit Communication Tower. Follow me."

Personally handing Zhao Tao the Spirit Soul Orb containing the Aged Silkworm, the Spirit Transmitter then led Zhao Tao to the training room of the Spirit Communication Tower branch.

"Before fusing the spirit soul, let's help the Spring Silkworm complete its evolution!"

Closing the door to the training room, Zhao Tao summoned his Spring Autumn Cicada Martial Soul, then took out the Spring Silkworm Spirit Soul he had just obtained from the Spirit Soul Orb!

Gazing at the Spring Autumn Cicada Martial Soul and the Spring Silkworm Spirit Soul before him, Zhao Tao's thoughts stirred.

Within the Spring Autumn Cicada, the long-accumulated Power of Time, under Zhao Tao's control of his Spiritual Power, was transmitted bit by bit to the Spring Silkworm Spirit Soul.

As the Power of Time continuously poured in, the Spring Silkworm Spirit Soul grew and expanded, with imprints appearing on its surface, seemingly the marks of time!

After a while longer, as if reaching a critical point, profound Bronze Rings suddenly appeared on the surface of the Spring Silkworm Spirit Soul's insectoid body, and myriad Silver Threads emerged on its form.

At this moment, after absorbing a large amount of Power of Time, Zhao Tao's Spring Silkworm Spirit Soul had finally evolved, becoming a Thousand-Year Spirit Soul—the Aged Silkworm!

This, naturally, was not the limit. As long as the Aged Silkworm Spirit Soul continued to absorb the Power of Time and Spirit Energy, it could further evolve into the Time Butterfly upon reaching ten thousand years.

Of course, for Zhao Tao now, this was still a bit distant.

What he needed to do now was to fuse the evolved Aged Silkworm Spirit Soul and break through to become a Soul Master.

Perhaps for other level ten Soul Masters, fusing a Thousand-Year Spirit Soul as their first spirit soul would be considered a fantasy.

After all, only when Spiritual Power reached the Spirit Connection Realm could one fuse a purple Thousand-Year Spirit Soul.

And if a Spirit Origin Realm Soul Master forcibly attempted to fuse across levels, they would at best be severely injured, and at worst, their cultivation would be permanently stalled.

However, for Zhao Tao, whose Spiritual Power had long reached the Spirit Connection Realm, fusing a Thousand-Year Spirit Soul could only be described as effortless!

At the same time, the Thousand-Year Soul Ring brought about by the fusion of a Thousand-Year Spirit Soul also placed high demands on the Soul Master's physical fitness.

However, as a Reborn One, Zhao Tao had long prepared a special secret technique that could greatly reduce the physical pressure when fusing the soul ring and avoid such problems!

After a brief rest, Zhao Tao's thoughts stirred. He sat down cross-legged, held his breath, and began the fusion of the spirit soul.

With a thought, the Spring Autumn Cicada Martial Soul and the Aged Silkworm Spirit Soul before Zhao Tao pressed closely together, beginning to fuse!

And as the spirit souls fused, surges of extremely powerful soul force erupted from the depths of Zhao Tao's body, madly impacting the Soul Master bottleneck he had just reached!
