Encountering the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm? Insufficient Attributes, Make Up for It with Age

After leaving the Lake of Life, Ji Ye did not rush to depart.

Instead, he began searching the mixed zone for a suitable ten-thousand-year soul beast.

However, soul beasts with spatial attributes were few and far between.

Ji Ye walked up to a tree and punched straight into it.

Where on earth could he find a spatial-attribute soul beast?

Could it be that his luck had been completely exhausted after obtaining his first four spatial-attribute soul rings?

His first soul ring had come from picking up a heavily injured thousand-year Void Spirit Butterfly, which had willingly become his soul ring.

His second soul ring came from a dying thousand-year Swift Shadow Leopard mother, mortally wounded from a fight with another beast; because Ji Ye had secretly fed her cub, she felt gratitude and willingly became his soul ring.

As for his third and fourth soul rings, they were also picked up as leftovers, with the soul beasts ultimately choosing to sacrifice themselves.

In short, it was absurd.

Flender had been watching him from the shadows and was equally shocked by these developments.

But now, how was he supposed to resolve the issue of his fifth soul ring?

Just as Ji Ye was at a loss, a blue beam of light suddenly flew toward him.

A cheeky voice rang out in his mind.

"Young man! Brother is here! From today on, you belong to Brother! I am the million-year soul beast, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm; you can also call me Brother Sky Dream."

Ji Ye was slightly stunned. Tian Meng?

Wasn't he currently being used as a living battery by Di Tian? How had he escaped ten thousand years ahead of schedule?

"Hehe, are you stunned by Brother's million-year soul beast status?!"

Brother Sky Dream's cheeky voice kept chattering away.

"Don't worry! Brother can see that you have a unique bone structure and are a one-in-a-million cultivation genius. Come, come, let Brother move into your sea of consciousness!"

Before Ji Ye could even agree, a massive surge of mental energy poured into his mind.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm looked around its new home with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad, this sea of consciousness is quite spacious... wait!"

It suddenly realized something was wrong.

Why was this sea of consciousness so stable? Why was this mental energy so powerful? And why were these Soul Power fluctuations...

"Holy crap! You brat are already level 50?!"

"Holy crap!!! Why is there the aura of the Emperor Auspicious Beast here??"

"Holy crap, holy crap, what on earth is this martial soul that distorts space??"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm stood in Ji Ye's sea of consciousness, the scene before its eyes completely shattering its worldview.

A sword that caused space itself to slightly warp hovered on the left.

A translucent clock that slowed the flow of time hovered on the right.

And in the center of the sea of consciousness, a golden eye remained slightly closed, but the power of destiny it radiated at every moment allowed Tian Meng to recognize it instantly as the luck of the Star Dou Forest.

Ji Ye closed his eyes slightly, his consciousness entering the sea of consciousness.

Tian Meng was wiggling its chubby body, circling the three objects to get a better look.

Seeing Ji Ye arrive, it immediately turned to face him.

"Hello there, young man."

Tian Meng proudly pursed its lips and began to ramble on, shaking its head.

"Brother used to..."

"That was..."

...(Ten thousand words omitted here; the author is kind and won't pad the plot)

Finally, Ji Ye could take it no more!

This was even more sleep-inducing than a teacher's lecture!

"Enough, Tian Meng!"

"What is your purpose in coming to my sea of consciousness?"

Although Ji Ye knew exactly what this guy was up to, as a transmigrator, he still had to play the part.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm huffed, looking smug. "Brother wants to become your soul ring, the first-ever intelligent soul ring in the history of the Douluo Continent."

Ji Ye: "Oh."

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm: "???"

"You aren't surprised at all?" The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm wriggled its plump body, its face nearly pressed against Ji Ye's.

Ji Ye took a few steps back, looking visibly uncomfortable.

"It's just a soul ring, what's there to be surprised about?"

"Uh..." The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was momentarily speechless, its large, chubby head shaking. "That... I am a million-year soul beast! A million years! Do you have any idea what that means?"

"See those ten light orbs? That is my million-year spiritual power and source energy. These energies alone are enough to elevate all nine of your soul rings to the hundred-thousand-year level! Now, do you still think there's nothing to be surprised about?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm rattled off a long list in one breath. Fortunately, Ji Ye was already familiar with the plot, so he naturally understood what the Tian Meng meant.

However, seeing the Tian Meng's proud expression, Ji Ye couldn't help but want to deflate it.

"Tian Meng, since you're a million-year soul beast, where is your million-year soul bone?"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's chubby face froze instantly. Its mouth opened and closed, looking just like a fish tossed onto dry land.

"Soul, soul bone..." It stammered, rolling its eyes. "Well... my million-year essence is all concentrated in these ten light orbs! Things like soul bones are low-tier... Right! I simply disdained to condense one!"

Ji Ye held back a laugh and sighed with feigned regret: "So a million-year soul beast doesn't even have a soul bone..."

"Hey! Ji Ye, what do you mean by that!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm trembled with rage, its ten golden orbs spinning wildly around it. "Let me tell you, even without a soul bone, the soul skills I give you will absolutely crush those hundred-thousand-year soul rings!"

Seeing that he had teased it enough, Ji Ye put away his joking expression. "Alright, Tian Meng, I was just kidding. So... when do we start the fusion?"

To be honest, he was quite excited.

So what if he didn't have a Void-attribute soul ring?

If the attribute isn't enough, make up for it with age!

With the Tian Meng by his side, it wouldn't take long for his first two soul rings to reach the ten-thousand-year level!

As for being discovered by Di Tian?

Once they become my soul rings, how could he possibly take them back?

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally calmed down, proudly lifting its head. "You're sensible enough! We can start now, but..."

"Let's leave the Star Dou Forest first."

"Why?" Ji Ye couldn't help but chuckle. "Is there something here that even a million-year soul beast fears?"

"Hmph, as if!" The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm muttered, but it quickly shifted into focus.

"Sit cross-legged and relax your mind! I'm starting!"

Ji Ye sat as instructed and closed his eyes.

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's plump body suddenly erupted with dazzling golden light, and the ten light orbs circled Ji Ye like miniature suns.

"Watch closely, Ji Ye! This is the prestige of a million-year soul beast!"

As the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finished speaking, the first golden orb exploded, transforming into countless golden specks that surged into Ji Ye's body.

Ji Ye felt a warm current pour in from the top of his head, instantly flowing through every meridian in his body.

"I'll start by raising your first two soul rings to the thousand... wait, you're already at the thousand-year level?!"

"Hahahaha, I've really struck gold! Now watch as I boost your age directly to ten thousand years!"

The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's voice echoed within the golden light.

"The limit for an ordinary soul master's first soul ring is four hundred years, but with me here, your first soul ring will break through to ten thousand years directly..."

The purple soul ring beneath Ji Ye's feet suddenly trembled violently, its color deepening at a rate visible to the naked eye, shifting from light purple to deep purple, and then to a faint black!
