"What a pity, we could have recruited that little brother into our Tang Sect just now." Tang Ya wore an expression of genuine heartache.

Bei Bei: "You really are something, wanting to recruit everyone you meet."

Ji Siyuan: "If we run into him again, we'll just bring him into the Tang Sect then."

The three of them chose a direction and set off.

Their goal was to obtain soul rings for the two of them.

Since Tang Ya was seeking her third soul ring, they naturally needed to venture deeper.

They walked at their leisure.

Suddenly, Ji Siyuan felt a wave of dizziness, as if the heavens and earth were shaking.

Nine lotus seeds appeared within his sea of consciousness, shielding him from falling into a stupor.

"Such powerful spiritual energy." Tang San could not help but exclaim: "A level of spiritual energy like this... I fear it belongs to a powerhouse of this world."

In the distance, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm writhed its body, preparing to offer itself as a sacrifice to Huo Yuhao.

"Uncle Tang, you might be overthinking it."

"Oh?"

"Just point me in the right direction, Uncle Tang, and I'll go take a look."

Except for him, all other life in the vicinity had fallen into a deathly silence.

Bei Bei and Tang Ya stood frozen in place.

Ji Siyuan knew there would be no danger, so he set off first.

He was also quite curious to see what the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm from this script actually looked like.

The sky dimmed, the sun's light was instantly obscured, and gray currents of air appeared in the void.

Tang San: "Be careful, Siyuan. This is the remnant soul of a god-level powerhouse."

"I know. It's fine."

Tang San's remnant soul felt a bit dazed; he felt that Ji Siyuan understood this place even better than he did.

But Ji Siyuan was someone he had watched grow up since childhood; how could he not know whether or not the boy had ever been to the Douluo Continent?

It was understandable for a child to have secrets they didn't want the adults to know.

He was still lost in his own conjectures when he heard Ji Siyuan say: "So this is that million-year soul beast."

At this moment, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was in the midst of a fierce confrontation with Electrolux.

With no ability to resist, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had no choice but to continue its sacrifice.

"Who's there!"

It spotted Ji Siyuan emerging from the brush.

Reduced to nothing but a spiritual entity, it began to panic—how could there be another one?

Even though it had been discovered, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was already past the point of resistance.

The sacrifice was completed quickly.

It became Huo Yuhao's first soul ring.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was terrified, fearing that its new host would be quickly disposed of by Ji Siyuan.

"Tsk, the poor kid is finally starting to have the ability to resist. I still have a long way to go."

Tang San: "Siyuan, this is the perfect opportunity for you to take advantage of the situation."

"Uncle, is that how you treated Aunt Xiao Wu too?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Your Aunt Xiao Wu and I were childhood sweethearts, we grew up together."

"Then you don't have any dating experience either, yet you're here trying to teach me?"

"Hey, you brat." Tang San's soul fragment didn't know how to retort; he truly didn't have much experience.

Ji Siyuan propped Huo Yuhao up against a tree: "I don't know if meeting me is your good luck or your bad luck."

Not long after, Tang Ya and Bei Bei came rushing over.

The two had woken up from their stupor only to find Ji Siyuan missing, and had followed his footprints all the way here.

"Siyuan!"

"Sister Xiao Ya, don't get excited. This kid just finished absorbing a soul ring and is still sleeping."

Bei Bei glanced at the dead Wind Baboon: "A ten-year soul ring?"

It wasn't that he hadn't seen ten-year soul rings before, he just felt they weren't very good.

He made a silent resolution: ten years was far too inferior; he absolutely could not let Ji Siyuan absorb a ten-year soul ring.

Huo Yuhao woke up shortly after.

He could have woken up sooner, but he had been chatting with the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in his sea of consciousness. He decided to hide his soul ring for now and also planned to ask Ji Siyuan for help in concealing it.

"Huh? Why are there three people?"

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had clearly told him there would only be one.

Ji Siyuan reached out his hand, a gentle smile on his face: "Awake? Does your body or spirit feel uncomfortable anywhere? Let me pull you up."

"No," Huo Yuhao blushed, reaching out to let Ji Siyuan pull her up.

This was their second meeting; there was no need to explain why such a scene was necessary, as it would be completely unnecessary in the future.

Tang Ya chided: "I thought you were accompanied by your parents, but it turns out you came to the Star Dou Great Forest all by yourself. Don't you know how dangerous the Star Dou Great Forest is? Without a powerful Soul Grand Master to accompany you, aren't you just waiting for death? It's only because you were lucky that you encountered a ten-year soul beast; if it had been a hundred-year one, you would have died here."

Huo Yuhao looked up in surprise. She was already certain that Tang Ya and Bei Bei did not know about the matter, and that the only one who knew she hadn't absorbed a Wind Baboon soul ring was Ji Siyuan.

Ji Siyuan did not speak; he was currently in a conversation with Tang San.

"What? A million-year soul beast? Can the Douluo Plane of this spacetime actually nurture a soul beast of that level? That's not right; that little silkworm doesn't have god-level strength at all."

Not to mention comparing it to when Lie Yan was still the Empress, it couldn't even compare to the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

"The aura carried by that remnant soul is very similar to the aura from the Holy Demon Continent near our God Realm. If the main body were here, I might be able to confirm it, but I can't right now."

"Uncle Tang, do you think you are stronger, or is that remnant soul stronger?"

"Hm? You're asking me this? He is as remnant as a soul can get. How could he compare to me?"

Tang San did not focus on the comparison of strength, but he was still urging Ji Siyuan to find a way to win over Huo Yutong: "Look at this destiny; a million-year soul beast sacrifice plus the blessing of a god-level remnant soul. If you win her over, wouldn't you be able to enjoy the benefits too?"

"Yes, yes, Uncle Tang."

Tang San continued to ramble: "If I didn't have children, you wouldn't be the only one coming down here. If I had a daughter, I wouldn't have to let you come down alone."

While he was being persuaded on the inside, there was also temptation on the outside.

"Yuhao, do you want to join our Tang Sect? Our Tang Sect has cultivation techniques that are suitable for you."

Tang Ya was quite eager in promoting the Tang Sect.

This attitude was certainly worth affirming. Of course, her ability was another matter.

"The Tang Sect?"

"That's right, the once number one sect in the world. It's just fallen now. But it is currently on the rise."

Huo Yuhao didn't know what she was thinking, but she asked a question she hadn't even considered herself: "Is he one too?" She pointed at Ji Siyuan.

Tang Ya didn't know how to introduce Ji Siyuan for a moment: "His status is rather special. He is a member of our Tang Sect, but we generally don't discuss seniority with him."

If they were to discuss seniority, he would be at the level of a founding ancestor.

"Alright, I'll join."

Bei Bei warned sternly: "Yuhao, you need to think clearly; joining a sect is a lifelong commitment."

Huo Yuhao affirmed: "I'll join!"

Ji Siyuan held back Huo Yuhao, who wanted to kneel: "Let's skip that kind of etiquette; some rules should always be corrected."

Tang Ya fell silent, and Huo Yuhao looked at him and the silent Tang Ya in astonishment.

"He's right; perhaps it's because the Tang Sect pays too much attention to certain rules that it has declined." Tang Ya revealed a smile: "Don't worry, he is also qualified to correct these. He is our sect's Supreme Elder, after all."

"Ah? A sect with only three people even has a Supreme Elder."

"Now there are four."

Huo Yuhao joined the Tang Sect.

Far away in the God Realm, God King Tang sensed the influx of destiny into the Tang Sect and felt incredibly jubilant: "Heh heh, a mere child of destiny wants to escape the palm of my hand. Douluo Plane consciousness, give up your struggle."

But he did not feel that the destiny of the Tang Sect was detaching from him.
