Luo Yang's eyes lit up, an indescribable excitement surging in the depths of his heart!
"Found it?"
"Yes." Bibi Dong nodded slightly. "I have found the small plane managed by the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. Following your instructions, I did not alert them and only conducted a covert investigation."
She paused, then added, "Those two beasts certainly know how to pick a spot. Although the plane is small, it is rich in spiritual energy and forms a self-contained cycle; it is a rare and excellent place. They likely intended to use it as the final sanctuary for soul beasts."
Luo Yang felt a sense of great relief.
As the kings of the Star Dou Forest, the Sky Azure Bull Python Daming and the Titan Giant Ape Erming had been searching for a suitable place to gather the remaining soul beast tribes as their kind gradually withered away.
In the original work, they eventually chose a small plane attached to the Douluo Continent and built it into a refuge for soul beasts.
But now, he had found this small plane ahead of time.
"Take me inside to see." Luo Yang said.
Bibi Dong nodded and waved her slender hand.
A purple-gold radiance surged from her palm, transforming into a phantom doorway in the air. Within the gate, one could vaguely see a lush forest and a clear blue sky.
Luo Yang took a deep breath and stepped inside.
Inside the small plane.
Luo Yang opened his eyes to a scene that looked like a fairyland.
The lush forest was boundless, with towering ancient trees piercing the clouds and vines winding through them like giant pythons. In the distance, mountains rolled and clouds swirled, with waterfalls and springs faintly visible.
The air was so fresh it felt as if it had been filtered countless times, and with every breath, one could feel the dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
"This is..."
Bibi Dong appeared at his side, and with a wave of her hand, she slowly lifted him into the air.
Looking down from high above, the entire outline of the small plane was laid bare.
It was a circular space with a diameter of about a hundred miles, with a massive lake in the center. The water shimmered with a strange sapphire hue, sparkling brilliantly under the sunlight.
With the lake as the center, the forest extended outward in a radial pattern; the closer to the lake, the more lush the vegetation and the denser the spiritual energy.
"Daming and Erming must have built this small plane according to the layout of the Star Dou Forest." Bibi Dong explained from the side. "The lake in the center is the spiritual hub of the entire plane. The surrounding terrain and landscape were also intentionally modeled after the core area of the Star Dou Forest."
Luo Yang looked down at this paradise, secretly marveling in his heart.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were truly worthy of being soul beast kings who had lived for tens of thousands of years. This level of effort and foresight was indeed worthy of their status.
"Where are they now?" Luo Yang asked.
Bibi Dong flicked her hand, and two soul bones emitting a soft glow appeared in her palm.
"Here."
Luo Yang's pupils constricted slightly.
Those were two soul bones.
One was cyan-green with faint dragon patterns flowing across it; the other was dark gold, exuding an aura as heavy as a mountain.
Even just lying quietly in Bibi Dong's palm, the pressure belonging to top-tier soul beasts still made Luo Yang feel a sense of palpitation.
"You killed them?"
"What else?" Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow, her tone matter-of-fact. "If you want this small plane, those two beasts were the biggest obstacles. If I didn't get rid of them, how would you occupy this place?"
Luo Yang was silent for a moment, then nodded.
He was no saint, and he would not blame Bibi Dong for two soul beasts he had never met.
Moreover, although Daming and Erming were not villains in the original work, they were destined to be the support for the protagonist Tang Wulin.
Standing from his perspective, cutting off the opponent's wings in advance was perfectly fine.
"Are you alright?" Luo Yang asked.
"What could possibly happen to me?" Bibi Dong let out a soft hum, her tone carrying a hint of disdain. "They were just two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone-bearing beasts. It took a bit of effort, but it was nothing."
She handed the two soul bones to Luo Yang:
"These two soul bones are of good quality. However, with your current strength, you cannot absorb them yet. Keep them for now; when you grow a bit more, they will be a great help."
Luo Yang took the soul bones, feeling the warmth and weight in his palm as he calculated in his heart.
Indeed, he was only a one-ring soul master; absorbing Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone-bearing beasts would be courting death.
But in the future, these two soul bones would definitely be of great use, especially the Titan Giant Ape's, which perfectly matched the martial soul of Yuanen Yehui. He could give her a surprise when the time came.
"How do I control this small plane?" Luo Yang asked.
"It's simple." Bibi Dong raised her hand, a wisp of purple-gold light condensing at her fingertip, which she pressed against the center of Luo Yang's brow.
In an instant, a mysterious connection surged into Luo Yang's heart. He felt as if he had established a link with the entire small plane.
He could perceive the location of every tree, the flow of every breeze, and even the rhythm of every drop of water.
"I have left your soul imprint at the core of this plane." Bibi Dong said. "From now on, you are the master of this small plane. You can enter and exit at will, use it to store items, or even treat it as your private territory."
Luo Yang closed his eyes, carefully sensing this marvelous connection.
After a long while, he opened his eyes, a satisfied smile curling the corners of his lips.
With this small plane, many things would become much more convenient.
For instance—
Plundering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
In two days, he would enter that legendary treasure trove.
If he took everything, he could not only satisfy his own cultivation needs but also cultivate a group of loyal subordinates.
And this small plane was the perfect "warehouse."
Luo Yang had already begun to imagine what expression would appear on Tang San's "pure and noble" face when he emptied the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
It would surely be magnificent.
After touring the small plane, Luo Yang's consciousness returned to reality.
He opened his eyes to find himself still standing in the room. Bibi Dong had vanished, leaving behind only a faint, lingering trace of her scent in the air.
Luo Yang took a deep breath, preparing to organize the gains from today.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A knocking sound echoed.
Luo Yang's body stiffened slightly, a bad premonition rising in his heart.
At this hour, with this way of knocking... it couldn't be Aunt Leng, could it?
He instinctively glanced out the window.
The sky had already darkened, and the moon had risen.
Who else but Leng Yaozhu would come knocking on his door at this hour?
Luo Yang took a deep breath, struggling to calm himself down, before walking to the door and opening it.
As expected.
Leng Yaozhu stood outside the door, wearing a thin silk nightgown, her long hair draped loose, her snow-white feet bare. Moonlight spilled in from the corridor window, casting a dreamlike halo over her, making her look less like a mortal and more like a vision.
"Aunt Leng?" Luo Yang tried to make his voice sound normal. "It's so late, why are you..."
"To reward you, of course," Leng Yaozhu said as if it were only natural, then stepped into the room without waiting for Luo Yang to react.
Luo Yang: "..."
He silently closed the door and turned to look at Leng Yaozhu, who had already sat down on his bed, feeling like crying but having no tears.
He really didn't want this reward!
