Wheels of Destiny
Unlike the others who were still Deep Meditation and clarifying their future path, Huo Yuhao appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The towering trees blocked out much of the sunlight, making the Star Dou Great Forest quite quiet at this moment, as Huo Yuhao was now approaching the edge of the Mixed Zone.
This time, however, the person accompanying Huo Yuhao was not the unreliable Taotie Douluo Xuanzi, but another level 93 titled expert assigned by Mu En.
Although this Titled Douluo himself didn't understand why he would personally bring a Soul Grandmaster student from the Outer Court to the Star Dou Great Forest just because the student needed to obtain Third Soul Ring.
However, this was an order from Mu En, the Sea God Pavilion Master, and this titled Titled Douluo of a Pavilion Elder of the Sea God Pavilion Elder, naturally dared not neglect it.
Moreover, before he arrived, Mu En had given him a detailed explanation of Huo Yuhao's importance, as well as the precautions for his Martial Soul and the suitable Soul Beast.
However, he was not told Huo Yuhao's exact role and related benefits, since the weighing of benefits was a matter for the higher-ups of the Sea God Pavilion.
For these Titled Douluo and Shrek Academy members who serve as high-level henchmen and decorative figures, besides doing their job as Soul Master, all they need to do is constantly admire Shrek's glorious halo that has been passed down for thousands of years.
As for those private exchanges of benefits, perhaps smart people can guess them themselves, but they will also pretend to know nothing, after all, they are already too deeply tied to the Shrek Academy.
As for whether the Tang Sect, to which Huo Yuhao originally belonged, would have any objections after Huo Yuhao was taken to the Body Sect for a deal,
That just goes to show that the Tang Sect, whose leader is only Soul Ancestor, is not qualified to get involved in the deal between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy, two behemoths.
Without asking any further questions, the titled Titled Douluo went straight to the point, saying, "We're now almost in the Mixed Zone."
"Have you decided what kind of Third Soul Ring, what kind of Soul Beast you want, and what age it requires?"
"It is important to know that Spiritual Attribute Soul Beast are always rare, because in addition to the fact that there are relatively few Spiritual Attribute Soul Beast."
"It's more because Soul Beast with Spiritual Attribute are generally more intelligent than ordinary Soul Beast, and therefore they are good at hiding themselves."
"Even though our Shrek Academy has students training in the Star Dou Great Forest all year round, we still don't have any accurate information on the habitats of Spiritual Attribute Soul Beast. This Soul Hunting will mainly depend on luck."
Huo Yuhao nodded and replied, "For me, the Third Soul Ring I hope for should ideally be from Soul Beast with a cultivation level of over eight thousand years, as this would provide the greatest boost to my abilities."
"If it can barely reach the ten-thousand-year level, I am confident that I can try to absorb it."
Upon hearing this, the Titled Douluo nodded, muttering to himself, "Trying to get Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring on his Third Soul Ring... Is this the advantage of Body Martial Soul? No wonder."
In fact, what Huo Yuhao just said was actually concealing the limit of the number of years he could absorb Soul Ring. After all, with the blessing of the Gold of Life, even without the multiple Soul Bone he had in the original work, he was still able to absorb soul rings.
However, nowadays, the age of the Soul Ring that Huo Yuhao can absorb is definitely over ten thousand years, after all, he has experienced the Secondary Awakening of his Body Martial Soul.
The transformation and enhancement that the Gold-level Secondary Awakening brought to Huo Yuhao's body was absolutely not to be underestimated, not to mention the Demonic Potion prepared by Electrolux that he had previously absorbed.
Huo Yuhao's physical strength alone is comparable to that of a typical Soul King, and his Spiritual Power is even superior.
And this was all without the help of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. Huo Yuhao was able to completely absorb and fuse Soul Ring of about 15,000 years through his own Spiritual Power, which had already entered the Tangible but Formless level.
If the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm method is used to seal the absorbed Soul Ring, Huo Yuhao should be able to absorb Soul Ring of about 20,000 years at most. The Soul Power brought by Soul Ring above that would be too enormous.
It's not something I can perfectly handle right now; it will just accumulate in my body. Even so, it's still quite astonishing for a Soul Master who has just reached level 30 Soul Power.
In order to maintain the tacit understanding reached with Mu En, Huo Yuhao naturally had to demonstrate his talent and value.
However, things shouldn't go too far. If Huo Yuhao's talent is displayed too strongly, it might cause Mu En to have other concerns.
After all, although Mu En did want to use Huo Yuhao to exchange for benefits with the Body Sect, he certainly wouldn't allow the Body Sect to become dominant.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao's talent, however outstanding, has its limits and must be within Mu En's tolerance.
After all, if Huo Yuhao in the future is not a disciple of the Shrek Academy, then he naturally cannot show his sharpness like the original owner of the original novel who pretended to be weak while actually being strong.
As for the age limit of this Soul Ring, it was determined by Huo Yuhao through his Eye of Truth, which allowed him to see through Mu En's thoughts. This age limit was set 13,000 years below the Red Thread in Mu En's heart.
Moreover, for Huo Yuhao, the age of the Soul Ring and the effects of the Soul Skill brought by the Soul Ring are actually not important.
After all, for a transmigrator, especially one who transmigrated into Huo Yuhao's world, there are simply too many ways to increase the lifespan of Soul Ring.
As for Soul Skill, Huo Yuhao now has plenty of self-created and combined Soul Skill, but he just hasn't had the opportunity to use and demonstrate them yet.
"The Dream-Eating Demonic Bird and the Big-Headed Spirit Ape are my top choices, but the Dream-Eating Demonic Bird always goes alone and is elusive."
"This kind of Soul Beast is good at using Spiritual Power to lure lost people and Soul Beast into illusions and suck their brains, but it rarely provokes groups of more than one Soul Master or soul Beast Clan."
"Although the Big-Headed Spirit Ape live in groups, the species itself is not strong, and very few can reach the age that meets my ideal."
"Moreover, if it is a group of Big-Headed Spirit Ape that can produce cultivators with more than eight thousand years of cultivation, aside from the fact that their methods of uniting with each other are quite troublesome, they will most likely be protected by even more powerful Soul Beast, so it is not the best choice."
"Secondly, my targets are the Thousand-Eyed Spirit Butterfly and the Hundred-Eyed Centipede. Although the innate Soul Skill of these two Soul Beasts are not very compatible with my future development path."
"But after all, these two types of Soul Beast are also of the Spiritual Attribute, and their numbers are relatively greater than other Spiritual Attribute Soul Beast, making them easier to find."
"As for the other, even rarer Spiritual Attribute Soul Beast, if we are fortunate enough to encounter them here, then it is not too late to make a decision."
In fact, Huo Yuhao had another ideal Soul Beast in mind that he didn't mention, which was the Demonic Eye Demon Tree. It was a rare Spiritual Attribute plant Soul Beast that was related to the Ferocious Beast, the Myriad Demon King.
However, although the Myriad Demon King was feared by Di Tian because he had secretly controlled the Plant-type Soul Beast on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, he is still under Di Tian's control.
However, it's possible that one of the Demonic Eye Demon Tree is Myriad Demon King, so even though the Demonic Eye Demon Tree's Soul Ring is suitable for Huo Yuhao, it's best not to go looking for trouble for the sake of safety.
After listening to Huo Yuhao's request, the Titled Douluo nodded.
"Alright, then you should also pay more attention. As Spiritual Attribute Soul Master, your intuition may be more acute than my observation skills when it comes to finding Spiritual Attribute Soul Beast."
The two then continued deeper into the Mixed Zone.
At this moment, in the core area of Star Dou Great Forest.
A golden lion, who should have been sunbathing comfortably in the Lake of Life and sleeping soundly until night, shook its fluffy mane and opened its three eyes.
"What's going on? I ate yesterday, why am I hungry again?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion muttered in confusion.
Then it immediately let go and ran towards the outside of the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, while another fiery red figure helplessly followed this little ancestor away from the Lake of Life.
Besides Ferocious Beast, the core area of Star Dou Great Forest is inhabited by Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Soul Beast, as well as their direct blood relatives, all of whom have powerful bloodlines and are at least high-level Soul Beast, with quite a few Super Beast as well.
Although the Emperor Auspicious Beast is nominally the king of Soul Beast, under normal circumstances, she would not dare to attack these direct descendants of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast and Ferocious Beast.
After all, starting with the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, these Soul Beasts were the top forces in the Star Dou Great Forest, and their deaths were one less to be had.
Even with the protection of the Emperor Auspicious Beast, their numbers are extremely scarce in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Their descendants also have the potential to achieve something lasting 100,000-Year, although the proportion is not high.
Therefore, most of the time, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion eats the brains of Soul Beast that live outside the core area, are not valued by the Star Dou Great Forest, and have limited potential.
After all, if Soul Beast cannot break through 100,000-Year, it is difficult for it to develop advanced intelligence. Without this intelligence, Soul Beast that have lived for more than 100,000-Year will generally not consider it as one of their 'soul Beast Clan '.
According to Electrolux in the original work, the Emperor Auspicious Beast was born as a chosen one of Destiny, possessing the potential of Demigod from birth, but requiring a long time to develop.
In addition to the long period of growth, the gifts of Destiny have already secretly marked their price.
The so-called darling of Destiny is actually just a pawn that Destiny needs to appear at Destiny crucial turning point.
Therefore, every darling of Destiny has their own mission, whether big or small, and the first turning point in the Destiny of the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, was their encounter with it.
She met Huo Yuhao, the Heavenly Fate one also favored by Destiny, and their paths crossed.
Destiny has existed from the very beginning. Some people may think that Destiny is nonsense, but eating, drinking, moving, sitting and lying down, everything may be preordained.
From the very beginning, Destiny determines the starting point for all living beings, and from that starting point, Destiny is the path that can be followed and continues to climb forward.
However, just as Destiny exists, it is not predetermined. Destiny can determine the starting point, but it cannot determine the ending point. Perhaps the general direction of the world is arranged by Destiny.
However, in a world with extraordinary power, every step a strong person takes forward, every bit stronger they become, causes their Destiny, which was originally influenced by the general direction of the world, to deviate, and with this deviation in Destiny...
One influences two, two influences three. As they grow stronger and more powerful, and as time goes by, they come into contact with more and more people. With each other's contact and influence, the Destiny of both parties and multiple parties will begin to Entanglement and overlap, eventually converging into a new Destiny and opening up a new future.
Destiny can do is determine that a limited number of living beings appear at the turning points of their Destiny to make contact, thereby stabilizing the general direction of Destiny.
This contact was unstable, just like in the original story, where, due to the intervention of Tang San, the Asura God who was even stronger than the God King, Huo Yuhao and the Emperor Auspicious Beast, both favored by Destiny, did not end up with good results.
The one who was beheaded and taken in as a dog was the Emperor Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Soul Beast, while the one who became the God King's hawk and hound was the Heavenly Fate one, Dai Yuhao.
Therefore, the Destiny connection between Huo Yuhao and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the original work occurred under Tang San's interference, and it was also the first encounter between these two chosen ones and the beast of Destiny.
Now, the Wheels of Destiny have begun to turn, but neither side, having reached the crossroads of Destiny, is aware of it.
Because Destiny is unfathomable, even though the Eye of Truth can see deeper trajectories, Huo Yuhao finds it difficult to understand, because he is illiterate and cannot decipher the "words" of Destiny.
Having never directly experienced Destiny, he could not comprehend the deeper, more fundamental trajectories revealed through the Eye of Truth.
What do those traces of movement in the muscles, bones, and cells of living beings, yet so distinctly different, represent and symbolize?
Moreover, the Eye of Truth, or even the Eye of Truth, can only help Huo Yuhao see the underlying logic that ordinary people cannot Insight.
Understanding it is extremely difficult, as it differs from things like the activity of bones and muscles, or the arrangement of molecules, which, although not studied, are concepts in our minds.
Destiny is a more mysterious existence than the soul. Even if Huo Yuhao can see it clearly one day, he will still be unable to do so if he lacks the strength.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao could only use his Eye of Truth to interpret it, to understand only a small part of its myriad possibilities, but he could not fully comprehend the threads of Destiny or control Destiny direction for his own use.
The appearance of the Eye of Truth has given Huo Yuhao a ticket to becoming stronger, but to exchange it, he needs a lot of time to accumulate experience, and more importantly, Huo Yuhao's own strength must be strong enough.
