Nine Abysses Dao Treasury (Human Chapter)

Di Lintian accepted them one by one without the slightest courtesy, then turned his gaze to Scarlet King.

"What are you looking at? I don't have any. And don't forget, the entire set of inherited soul bones from Sky Dragon Pavilion is mine," Scarlet King snapped when he saw Di Lintian looking over.

"Of course I haven't forgotten. But I'm about to leave, so aren't you giving me a farewell gift?" Di Lintian said shamelessly.

"You brat."

Though Scarlet King said that, he still tossed over a soul bone—the most precious kind, a torso bone.

Seeing that everyone had given gifts, Xiong Jun scratched his head and thought in confusion, No one told me I had to give a gift too. How come they all carry soul bones around with them?

"Di Lintian, wait here. I'll be right back."

Leaving those words behind, Xiong Jun ran toward the cave without looking back.

Watching Xiong Jun sprint away, Di Lintian thought, Is this bear really that dumb? How had I never noticed before?

The Dark Demon Dragon Lion also handed Di Lintian several Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones. He had only become a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast a few thousand years ago, so his foundation was still shallow. He had never killed any other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, and only possessed a few Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones he had collected in the past.

Di Lintian accepted them as well. After all, it was a gesture of goodwill from his subordinate.

"Lintian, this Seed of Life can quickly heal your injuries."

Bi Ji also presented her gift, guiding a seed radiating life energy through the air with Soul Power until it floated before Di Lintian.

Di Lintian nodded and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Remember to keep that Reverse Scale with you. If anything happens, I can get there in time," Di Tian reminded him.

"Kid, take this!"

Xiong Jun came running back, shouting from afar.

Di Lintian saw what Xiong Jun held in his hand. It was a... Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear right palm bone.

Who gave someone a soul bone from their own kin as a gift?

Could this have been freshly chopped off?

Di Lintian thought as he looked at Xiong Jun. He didn't seem like the type of bear who collected soul bones. The more Di Lintian thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

Di Lintian took the right palm bone from Xiong Jun and casually touched it. Thankfully, it was cold.

"Thank you all for the gifts. I am deeply honored. Now, let me say a few simple words. Starting today, our Soul Beast Revival Project officially begins, so I have decided to designate today as the Turning Point Day of the Soul Beast Revival Project!"

"Applause if you understand."

"Clap clap clap!"

Other than Di Lintian, only Bi Ji cooperatively applauded.

Di Lintian did not feel embarrassed in the slightest. "All right, that's enough."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint smile curled across his lips as he fell backward toward the Lake of Life behind him.

A handsome exit.

The next moment, the mood took a sharp turn.

Sister Gu Yue, you have to catch me. I've only just started rebuilding myself—I don't want such a hasty ending.

Gu Yuena seemed to hear Di Lintian's thoughts. A vortex appeared where he had fallen.

Inside the underground space.

The silver-haired girl sat upright on an ice couch, holding a little lion in her arms.

"Brother Lintian, did you succeed?"

After sensing the familiar aura on the young man, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked up and spoke.

"Mm. When does Sister Gu Yue plan to leave?"

Di Lintian answered the Three-Eyed Golden Lion first, then looked to Gu Yuena and asked.

"Any time. Have you condensed your first soul ring yet?" Gu Yuena asked.

"Not yet. I'll leave after I condense it."

Di Lintian immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, but he did not begin condensing his soul ring right away. He sensed that the Nine Abysses Dao Treasury in his mind seemed to have changed.

As his spiritual sense entered it, dazzling words appeared before him—Nine Abysses Dao Treasury (Human Chapter).

"Did becoming human automatically unlock the Human Chapter?"

Di Lintian looked further back. Dragon Glide Step, Vajra Finger... The Human Chapter even had martial techniques?

Do not underestimate those martial techniques. This was Douluo Continent, known as the floor tile of fantasy worlds. Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill was considered a top-tier cultivation method here, while Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track and Mysterious Jade Hand were even more remarkable.

Further on was the meditation method Di Lintian had cultivated during his time as a Soul Beast. Several parts had been altered, making it less domineering than before.

At the end were still those divine abilities that could only be viewed but not used. After ten thousand years of trying, Di Lintian had confirmed that he would likely have to wait until he became a god before he could cultivate them.

His spiritual sense withdrew from his mind, and he began circulating his Soul Power to condense a soul ring.

A hazy white soul ring appeared around Di Lintian, gradually solidifying as it shifted toward yellow.

A moment later, the soul ring had turned dark yellow, yet Di Lintian had not stopped. His eyes remained tightly shut as the dark yellow soul ring gradually transformed toward purple.

Half an hour later, Di Lintian slowly opened his eyes.

The purple soul ring around him dispersed as well. "First soul ring, fifteen hundred years."

After checking his Soul Power, he found that it had reached level twelve. He did not rush to leave, instead taking out the head soul bone Zi Ji had given him from his storage ring and beginning to absorb it.

Gu Yuena did not urge him on. Her fair, slender hand gently stroked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soft fur.

An hour later, Di Lintian successfully absorbed the hundred-thousand-year head soul bone.

"Let's go."

He rose to his feet and spoke to Gu Yuena.

"Mm."

Gu Yuena gently nodded, placed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion on the ground, and let a halo envelop her body. A moment later, the glow faded, revealing a little girl in a white dress with short silver hair before Di Lintian.

"Sister Gu Yue?" Di Lintian asked tentatively.

"From now on, my name is Na'er." A soft, sweet voice came from Na'er.

"Fine, fine, little sister Na'er. Let's head out." Di Lintian changed how he addressed her.

Na'er's gem-bright eyes slanted toward Di Lintian, but she said nothing.

Di Lintian stepped forward, holding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in one arm and Na'er's little hand in the other as he walked toward the spatial gate.

Beside the Lake of Life.

The other ferocious beasts had already gone about their own business. Only Di Tian and Scarlet King were still waiting there.

"Di Tian, send Na'er and me to Sky Dragon Pavilion."

Before he appeared, Di Lintian's cheeky voice came first from the spatial vortex.

Standing on the grass beside the Lake of Life, Di Lintian set down the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and raised a brow at Di Tian. "Let's go. What are you standing there for?"

"My lord..."

Di Tian still wanted to persuade her, but Na'er cut him off.

"Let's go."

"Little Golden Lion, I'll play with you again when I return." Di Lintian looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, whose eyes were full of reluctance.

"Mm, you have to come back quickly."

As soon as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finished speaking, Di Tian took the two of them and vanished from the spot.

"Let's go too."

Di Lintian had been gone for a while, yet the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still staring blankly at the place where he had disappeared. Scarlet King finally could not help saying something.

"Mm. Now that Brother Lintian is gone, I can try the Dark Demon Dragon Lion's brain marrow, right?" the Three-Eyed Golden Lion said petulantly.

She had wanted to eat the Dark Demon Dragon Lion's brain marrow for a long time, but Di Lintian had always stopped her. Now that he had left, she asked Scarlet King in a fit of pique.

"Brother Lintian will be angry when he comes back if you do that."

Scarlet King could tell that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was throwing a little tantrum, and he replied calmly.
