Eye of Destiny, a Spiritual Artifact

However, Mu Tianchen shook his head with utmost resolve.

Looking at Leng Yaozhu and Yan Qingling, his gaze had never been firmer.

"Teacher, Sister Qingling, I can sense that this Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Soul Spirit is immensely important to my future development. Its existence may even directly affect my future."

"For this Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Soul Spirit, I gave up the powerful Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Spirit, as well as a thousand-year Holy Unicorn Soul Spirit. No matter what, I do not want to give up on this Soul Spirit."

"Teacher, I want to take a gamble!"

Mu Tianchen turned to Leng Yaozhu. He knew his own situation best. Although he had already begun cultivating the Vortex Meditation Method, he was not yet a true Soul Master.

Though the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was only around four hundred years old, its combat power rivaled that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year Soul Spirit. How could someone who was not even a Soul Master subdue such a formidable Beast King?

What he had just said was true. The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff was extremely important to his future development.

Throughout the history of the Douluo Continent, most people who possessed the Holy Dragon of Light Martial Soul had developed in the direction of mages. Their physical bodies and physical attack power were not particularly strong.

But he was different. Perhaps due to the influence of his combat concepts, this body he had crossed over into possessed extraordinarily powerful physical strength—true inborn divine strength, the kind that did not rely on Martial Soul amplification.

Therefore, he wanted to forge himself into an incredibly powerful physical warrior. His physique, strength, and magic—all of them had to be powerful.

"You brat." Seeing how unyielding Mu Tianchen sounded, Leng Yaozhu sighed helplessly. She had not expected this little fellow to be so young yet so decisive.

The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Soul Spirit was certainly powerful, but there were stronger Soul Spirits still. However, judging by the boy's attitude, if he could not absorb this Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Soul Spirit today, he probably would not be able to sleep.

"Very well. Since you insist on absorbing this Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Soul Spirit, it is not impossible. But I need a promise from you!"

"Teacher, what promise?" Mu Tianchen was taken aback by Leng Yaozhu's grave expression. As a level ninety-eight Super Douluo and the vice tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, what promise could she possibly need?

After taking a deep breath, Leng Yaozhu said, "I need you to promise that once you become powerful in the future, you will lend my Leng Family a hand."

"There is no family that remains powerful forever. I do not know whether the Leng Family will still exist after I die."

"Now, with the Spirit Pagoda's development, the Qiangu Family has grown increasingly immense. More than eighty percent of the Spirit Pagoda's people have already joined the Qiangu Family."

"Qiangu Dongfeng is an ambitious man. In the future, he may very well swallow up the other families that hold power in the Spirit Pagoda and take control of the entire Spirit Pagoda."

"Right now, I can still protect the Leng Family for a time, but I cannot be certain whether I will still be able to protect it in the future."

Mu Tianchen did not react for a moment, but he soon said with great seriousness, "Teacher, you are my teacher. A teacher for a day is a father for life."

"Although I have not been your disciple for long, and even became your disciple back then because you forced me to, I have never regretted becoming your disciple."

"I, Mu Tianchen, am not an ungrateful person. Once I become powerful in the future, if you need anything, Teacher, please feel free to command me."

Leng Yaozhu smiled softly, then shook her head. "I understand your character. Otherwise, I would not have brought you here."

"Since you wish to absorb the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Soul Spirit, I will give you a hand."

As she spoke, Leng Yaozhu waved her hand and condensed a barrier that blocked sound and sight, enveloping Mu Tianchen and Yan Qingling. Then, she took a crystal radiating blue light from her Storage Ring.

Looking at the crystal, she said, "The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff is one of the most powerful soul beasts, possessing unmatched combat strength. With your current cultivation, absorbing it would basically be impossible."

"This crystal is called the Eye of Destiny. It is a powerful divine artifact personally forged by the Spirit Ice Douluo, Huo Yuhao, before he ascended to godhood."

"The Eye of Destiny possesses unparalleled abilities. It can completely stabilize the Sea of Consciousness. No matter how powerful the mental attack it receives, the Eye of Destiny will neutralize it."

"At the same time, the Eye of Destiny can accelerate a Soul Master's spiritual power growth. If the spiritual power growth rate of an ordinary Soul Master is one, then after wearing the Eye of Destiny, that rate becomes ten, or even twenty."

"Your spiritual power is not strong enough right now to withstand the powerful Mental Shock brought by the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff. But after wearing the Eye of Destiny, the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff's attacks will be ineffective against you."

"The Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff is an exceptionally combative soul beast. If you want to gain its recognition, then you must defeat it!"

"Now, I will have you fuse with this Eye of Destiny. Hold your breath, focus your mind, and empty yourself of everything."

As she spoke, Leng Yaozhu controlled the Eye of Destiny and sent it flying before Mu Tianchen's forehead.

Before Mu Tianchen could react, blue light burst forth, and the dazzling blue crystal instantly fused into his forehead.

At that moment, Mu Tianchen felt the entire world become incomparably clear, and he sensed his spiritual power surge severalfold at once.

Although he still did not know how much spiritual power he possessed, it was undoubtedly far stronger than before he fused with the Eye of Destiny.

Mu Tianchen closed his eyes and sensed the blue crystal floating in his Sea of Consciousness. He felt an unprecedented sense of security, a powerful feeling that came from the spiritual level.

At the same time, he could sense that after the Eye of Destiny fused into his Sea of Consciousness, his control over his own body had reached an unprecedented level.

He could feel that as long as he wished it, he could control every cell in his body.

He opened his eyes and looked at the world, which had become incomparably clear. He immediately looked toward Leng Yaozhu. "Teacher, thank you for giving me such a great gift."

However, Leng Yaozhu shook her head. "Now is not the time to say that. Go form a Soul Spirit Contract with the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff first."

"Qingling." Leng Yaozhu glanced at Yan Qingling beside her.

"Alright, Tower Master." As she spoke, Yan Qingling walked to the side. After entering a long string of passwords into the screen before her, a sound rang out, and a completely blood-red Soul Spirit orb appeared in front of her.

"Teacher, this is..." Mu Tianchen glanced at Leng Yaozhu, his breathing growing slightly hurried.

Looking at the blood-red Soul Spirit orb in Yan Qingling's hands, Leng Yaozhu slowly said, "Yes. The Soul Spirit contained within this orb is the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff."

"You have good judgment. Among all the century-level Soul Spirits in our Spirit Pagoda, this Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Soul Spirit is one of the top three powerful existences."

"Our Spirit Pagoda possesses Spirit Ascension technology that can increase a Soul Spirit's age. So while it may only be four hundred years old, its value is even greater than that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year Soul Spirit."

"Furthermore, this Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Soul Spirit is not sold to the public. Only those who have made tremendous contributions to the Spirit Pagoda are qualified to obtain it."

Although Mu Tianchen did not know how his teacher had obtained the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff Soul Spirit, one thing was certain: she must have paid an enormous price.

The Spirit Pagoda did not belong to one person. Even as the vice tower master of the Spirit Pagoda, his teacher could not simply control everything.

Seeing Mu Tianchen standing there in a daze, Leng Yaozhu said irritably, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and complete the contract with the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff."

Mu Tianchen stiffened and said, "Alright, Teacher. I'll go now."
