The Clear Sky Sect left in a rage.
Their trip to Spirit Hall had cost them every last shred of dignity.
The other factions also departed one after another.
Bibi Dong paid little attention to any of this for the time being.
She knew very well that, for now, improving her strength had to be her priority.
Only after her own strength increased could she take part in matters at their level.
Bibi Dong then returned to her quarters.
She had barely gotten back when Gui Mei appeared before her.
"Xiao Dong, we succeeded!"
As Gui Mei spoke, his eyes blazed with excitement and fervor.
It was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Transformed Soul Beast!
And a plant-type one at that, perfectly suited to Yue Guan.
Even he hadn't expected the process to go so smoothly—that they would find her and capture her alive so easily.
"Really?"
When Bibi Dong heard this, her eyes lit up at once.
She had only wanted to give it a try. She hadn't expected them to actually find her.
The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast she had mentioned was none other than the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin.
Tang Hao's future wife.
Capturing her alive this time was not only to give Yue Guan a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and make him a Titled Douluo, but also to test things further.
If it proved feasible, she was still willing to make a trip to Slaughter City.
After all, that was the godhood of a God King.
Compared with something like a Self-Created Godhood, wouldn't inheriting a God King's godhood outright be far better?
Though a Self-Created Godhood had a higher ceiling, forging one into a true godhood was not only difficult; it also depended on whether there was a vacant position and an opportunity.
Even if inheriting the Asura God King's godhood directly wouldn't give her a God King's combat strength the moment she ascended to the Divine Realm, she would still have the status and privileges of a God King.
That would let her do so many things.
"I've confirmed again and again that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor, has taken human form."
Even as Gui Mei spoke, his voice brimmed with barely contained excitement.
This was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, something they had never dared hope for before.
And now, they could obtain one so easily.
Most importantly, this Soul Beast was a perfect match for Old Ghost.
There had been only a few instances of plant-type Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in Spirit Hall's historical records.
"Uncle Gui Mei, have you never considered that this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast might suit you, too?"
"A Soul Beast with life attributes is practically suited to every Soul Master. Even my Death Spider Emperor could absorb one with life attributes, couldn't it?"
Bibi Dong looked at Gui Mei, whose face was alight with excitement, and asked with a smile.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone were right within reach. And Gui Mei was already a Quasi-Titled Douluo. Under the circumstances, for him to resist greed and think only of leaving it for Yue Guan was truly rare.
"Xiao Dong, I've already gained so, so many things I never would have dared dream of before. If I can find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast suited to me, I absolutely won't turn it down. But if I can't find one, I'll wait a little longer."
"Just as you said, there's no need to rush."
Gui Mei took it all in stride.
Seeing his old partner and longtime companion obtain this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring was already enough to make him happy.
As for himself, he believed Xiao Dong would help him find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast suited to him.
Ever since he had met Xiao Dong, everything they had gone through had filled him with absolute trust in Bibi Dong.
Reincarnated deity, born with knowledge.
That was the only way to explain how Xiao Dong knew so much.
"Then let Uncle Yue Guan absorb the Soul Ring as soon as possible. The longer we wait, the more likely something could go wrong."
Bibi Dong had no intention of going to see this so-called Ah Yin.
One way or another, she was a Soul Beast who had taken human form, and supposedly a very beautiful woman, too.
Bibi Dong wasn't twisted enough to watch her get killed with her own eyes.
Gui Mei hurriedly called Yue Guan over. Then they went to the secret chamber, where he and Bibi Dong stood guard outside while Yue Guan absorbed the Soul Ring.
During this time, Bibi Dong considered what kind of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast to find for Gui Mei.
She did indeed know of another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that was an excellent match for him.
The Death Spider Emperor in Death Canyon.
But that Soul Beast was far too compatible with her herself. She would never give it to anyone else.
No matter how close they were.
The Star Dou Forest was vast and boundless. It might conceal Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts they didn't know about, but they were hidden too deeply. Finding them would be incredibly difficult.
At this point in time, those two rabbits were probably still around.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were there, too.
But killing them at this point in time would be no easy task.
"The Evil Orca King!"
Bibi Dong soon settled on a target.
The Evil Orca King.
This Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was also a good match for Gui Mei.
Though fighting out at sea would greatly weaken a land Soul Master's strength, making the beast very difficult to kill, it all depended on how they went about it and whether they had the right method.
With an Immortal Herb as bait, plus Dugu Bo's poison and the spring water from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, killing it wouldn't be difficult once Yue Guan had grown stronger.
"Perhaps we could explore the Far North, too!"
The Evil Orca King's attributes didn't clash with Gui Mei's, but in terms of compatibility, Bibi Dong thought the Soul Beasts of the Far North might suit him even better.
If Gui Mei could use a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring to gain control of an ice-element Soul Skill and blend it into the darkness, his strength would become unprecedented.
After settling on a few targets, Bibi Dong stopped dwelling on the matter. She took some blueprints from her Storage Soul Tool and began to sketch.
Though she didn't know any Hidden Weapon techniques, she could still draw a rough design for a Compound Crossbow based on the general principles.
The craftsmen could then refine and revise it, adapting it for the materials found on Douluo Continent and researching how to improve it.
That way, they could build a powerful Compound Crossbow.
She wasn't doing this to equip Spirit Hall or make a fortune selling them. She was preparing to hunt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Given her current circumstances, absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Soul Ring as her Fifth Soul Ring would be too much of a stretch. So she planned to hunt it for her Sixth Soul Ring.
But hunting and surrounding it would require formidable combat strength.
If necessary, she might even have to ask Qian Daoliu to step in.
She was being so cautious not only because the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was powerful, but also because its Life and Death Arena Soul Skill was far too strong.
What's more, this creature was connected to a deity.
She wanted to see if she could make contact with that deity when the time came.
Wouldn't that give her one more way out?
Even the weakest First-Level God was still better than the Rakshasa God.
That one was far too stingy.
Her actions now were simply a precaution, just in case.
Best to prepare in advance.
By the time Bibi Dong finished drawing the blueprints, Yue Guan had also emerged from the secret chamber.
He had successfully absorbed the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor's Soul Ring.
