The Spirit Cleansing Pool, a Complete Transformation. Would Sister Xiao Wu Be Taken Away to Be Stewed?
In their eyes, they were the masters of the universe. As for that so-called Perfect World, it was nothing more than a plane with a slightly unusual power system.
How could it possibly crush the divine power system they prided themselves on in every way?
To admit Soul Power was garbage would be to admit that they, the God Kings, were managers of a garbage dump!
That was absolutely impossible!
So they would rather believe this was a conspiracy than believe it was really as the other party had said.
Douluo Continent, Star Dou Great Forest.
Life Lake.
Unlike the arrogance of the Divine Realm, Azure Ox Python Da Ming and Titan Giant Ape Er Ming, the Soul Beast overlords with the keenest senses for danger, were utterly stunned.
At that moment, the lake water churned violently, as if it were boiling.
Da Ming couldn't control his body because of his fear, and his enormous serpent tail thrashed wildly along the lakebed, causing the disturbance!
"Er Ming, did you see that clearly?"
Da Ming's massive ox head rose above the water. His voice trembled uncontrollably as he stared fixedly at the Sky Screen.
"That old Wet Nurse told that human Soul Master to cripple his Soul Power."
"Y-yeah, I heard her."
Titan Giant Ape Er Ming crouched by the lakeside like a small mountain. The Forest King, who had once radiated power, now clutched his head in both hands and trembled, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
"Big Brother, I just saw that the old Wet Nurse was feeding that White Tiger snacks made from Golden-Winged Peng wings."
"If humans cultivate that Body Forging Technique or whatever it's called, will they bathe in our blood?" Er Ming's voice was choked with tears. He was terrified.
On Douluo Continent, they were Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, overlords who struck fear into the hearts of human Soul Masters.
But in that world, the so-called Blood Moving Realm cultivation seemed to require large amounts of Ferocious Beast blood to lay a foundation, judging by what the old Wet Nurse had said!
And the stronger the Ferocious Beast's blood, the better the effect!
"You're right." Da Ming swallowed, feeling every scale on his body stand on end.
"In that world, we might not even qualify to be mounts."
"We'd only be used by human children to cultivate. It's too cruel, too barbaric!"
At the thought, Da Ming's huge body shuddered violently.
He remembered the Primordial Flood Dragon tendon that had just been used as a Cat Teaser. In an instant, he felt a dull ache in his own spine!
"And also, Er Ming, have you noticed..."
After forcing down the unease in his heart, Da Ming took a deep breath and continued:
"Even though it sounds awful, I think the old Wet Nurse was right when she said Soul Power was garbage."
"Huh? Why?" Er Ming clearly hadn't grasped the point. Seeing his big brother make such a judgment, he widened his eyes in confusion.
Seeing that his younger brother couldn't even understand this, Da Ming shook his head bitterly and looked back at the calm surface of the lake.
"We've cultivated here for a hundred thousand years to reach our current strength."
"But the children in that world can wield tens of thousands of jin of force when they're just a few years old."
"Isn't the difference between us simply a difference in the level of energy?"
At this, Azure Ox Python Da Ming looked up at the Sky Screen again. After a pause, he continued:
"One day of cultivation in that world is worth a year, or even more, of cultivation in ours!"
"So even if we cultivated for a million years, we probably still wouldn't be a match for a child from that world."
"Big Brother, then... what about Sister Xiao Wu?" Suddenly, Er Ming seemed to realize something and grew worried.
"Even though Sister Xiao Wu has taken human form, she's still a Soul Beast at heart."
"What if she gets chosen to go to that world too..."
"Will they take her away to stew her into soup?!"
"Shut up!"
Meanwhile, in Perfect World, on the other side of the Sky Screen.
Primordial Immortal Court, Spirit Beast Garden.
The wind drifted softly by.
Zhu Zhuqing stood there, her curvaceous figure wrapped in the green uniform of an outer disciple, yet she still exuded a cool, otherworldly air.
However, Zhu Zhuqing, now in this world, had no idea that the Douluo World on the other side was in an uproar over her.
At that moment, Zhu Zhuqing faced the most difficult choice of her life.
"Cripple... my Soul Power?" Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head and looked at her hands, murmuring to herself.
A faint glow of Soul Power shimmered in her palm. It was the strength she had painstakingly cultivated since childhood, and the only thing that had allowed her to survive in the Star Luo Imperial Family.
To cripple it would be like cutting off her own arms!
"What, can't bear to part with it?"
Seeing that she was still hesitating, the old Wet Nurse glanced over and spoke indifferently:
"Understandable. For mortals from the Lower Realm like you, this meager cultivation truly didn't come easily."
"You can choose to refuse."
"But if you can't let go of this trash Soul Power, then you'll go no further in this life."
"You'll forever remain a mortal servant in this Spirit Beast Garden, watching others soar through the skies and grasp the stars and moon."
"And in the end, when your lifespan runs out, you'll turn into a mound of yellow earth."
"You'll even gradually lose the privilege of washing the Immortal Lord's sword."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's pupils contracted.
The Wet Nurse spoke as casually as if it were nothing, but every word struck right at Zhu Zhuqing's deepest fears.
A mortal?
Turn into yellow earth?
For a moment, Dai Mubai's face surfaced in Zhu Zhuqing's mind, along with the suffocating Star Luo Imperial Family.
If she didn't change, then when she returned, she would still be nothing more than a family-marriage pawn, manipulated by fate.
And she would still have to face that incredibly cowardly fiancé of hers, who did nothing but fool around with women.
"No, I don't want to live like that anymore!"
Suddenly, as if she had finally made up her mind, Zhu Zhuqing raised her head. The confusion in her eyes gradually gave way to unwavering resolve.
"Wet Nurse, I'm willing! Please teach me!"
"As long as I can become stronger, I don't care if I'm shattered to pieces!"
After saying this, Zhu Zhuqing readily dropped to her knees and bowed her head heavily to the Wet Nurse.
Her forehead struck the hard Dragon Blood Stone floor with a faint crack.
Seeing this, a smile finally appeared on the Wet Nurse's aged face.
"Good. Making this choice means you've already taken the first step toward success."
"The path of immortal cultivation is one of defying heaven itself. Without the courage to cut off an arm to save your life, how can you prove the Dao and attain immortality?"
"Since you have such resolve, this old woman will give you a hand."
"You're fortunate, too. There happens to be a Spirit Cleansing Pool in our Primordial Immortal Court. The Immortal Lord had it built to purify the bloodlines of certain Spirit Beasts of mortal blood."
"Though it was made for Spirit Beasts, for you it will be a sacred place where you can be reborn."
"Come. I'll take you there."
