Di Tian: Transforming into Human Form? Compared to Humans, I Prefer Being a Soul Beast

Lan Lingcang's lips curled slightly at the thought.

This worm was even more useful than he had imagined.

Seeing the smile on Lan Lingcang's lips, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm inexplicably felt a chill run down his back.

He had no idea someone was plotting to squeeze every last bit of value out of him.

But he knew that he probably would not be able to escape for the rest of his life.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm closed his eyes in despair.

It was over. Completely over.

As for Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's current cultivation being only 990,000 years, not yet a million?

That was simple too.

When the time came, they could just find some heavenly treasure and force Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to absorb it.

Though 990,000 years and a million years differed by only ten thousand years of cultivation, they were fundamentally different.

A 990,000-year Soul Ring and Soul Bone only had two Soul Skills, while a million-year one had four.

No one understood that calculation better than Lan Lingcang.

Soon, four months passed.

It differed somewhat from his previous estimate. Lan Lingcang's cultivation had only reached 700,000 years, not 800,000.

Even a powerhouse like Di Tian could not withstand going through a heavenly tribulation once every month.

The farther it went, the stronger the heavenly tribulations became, and the more Lightning Tribulation he had to bear for Lan Lingcang.

As time went on, Lan Lingcang's weakness in physical constitution began to show.

When other soul beasts underwent tribulation, they revealed their true forms at the final moment to withstand it.

Take Di Tian, for example. He would not maintain a humanoid form during tribulation.

Instead, he would transform into a thousand-meter black dragon and use his formidable body and Dragon God Claw to resist the heavenly tribulation, weakening its power.

But what about Lan Lingcang?

His true form was Blue Silver Grass. How could he transform into it to withstand the tribulation?

Basically, his current method of resisting heavenly tribulations was using the Blue Silver Dragon Spear to control all kinds of elemental dragons against them.

Then, he relied on his powerful life force to offset some of the damage the heavenly tribulation inflicted on him.

Although he could endure it every time, the energy it consumed was very real.

The more Di Tian bore for him, the less pressure Lan Lingcang faced.

But Di Tian needed time to recover as well.

Thus, after four months, he had only reached 700,000 years.

Still, that speed was already shocking enough.

Looking across the entire soul beast world, who could undergo three heavenly tribulations in four months?

Not a single one.

Blue Silver Ancestral Land.

Over the past four months, Ah Yin's cultivation had increased very quickly.

With vast amounts of life essence pouring into her, her Soul Power had soared all the way upward.

On this day, she finally reached level sixty.

"Level sixty."

Ah Yin opened her eyes, a trace of joy flashing through them.

Lan Lingcang stood beside her and nodded. "Begin condensing your Natal Soul Ring."

Ah Yin took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and began guiding the Soul Power within her body to condense her sixth Soul Ring.

The sixth Soul Ring of the Blue Silver Emperor was a Natal Soul Ring, unlike those acquired by hunting soul beasts.

This Soul Ring was condensed from her own bloodline and had the greatest compatibility with her.

Dark crimson light flowed around Ah Yin.

A red halo slowly emerged beneath her feet, then gradually rose and hovered in the position of her sixth Soul Ring.

A hundred-thousand-year Natal Soul Ring!

Feeling the power fluctuations coming from the Soul Ring, Ah Yin opened her eyes.

"It worked."

Ah Yin closed her eyes and carefully sensed the abilities granted by the Soul Ring. Its two Soul Skills respectively inherited two of her Natal Abilities.

The first Soul Skill was "Wildfires cannot burn it all away; spring winds blow and it grows anew," an exceptionally powerful healing Soul Skill.

As long as one did not die on the spot, even if only a final breath remained, they could recover rapidly.

The second Soul Skill was flight.

Although Lan Lingcang did not quite understand why the Natal Soul Skill of the Blue Silver Emperor included flight,

on second thought, it was not too bad.

Though Titled Douluo inherently possessed the ability to fly through the air,

if it was not granted by a Soul Skill, their flight speed was still relatively slow and consumed quite a bit of Soul Power.

And this flight Soul Skill was granted by a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring.

That meant it consumed almost none of her Soul Power, while her flight speed would not be slow either.

It would be second only to bird-type soul beasts that excelled at flying.

Lake of Life.

Lan Lingcang appeared here once more.

Bi Ji immediately came forward and asked with concern, "How is it? Has Ah Yin reached level sixty?"

"Yes, she just condensed her sixth Soul Ring." Lan Lingcang nodded.

Then he turned to Di Tian. "When will your injuries heal? Can you undergo the 800,000-year heavenly tribulation?"

Di Tian's lips twitched, and his expression turned somewhat strange.

"Probably not."

"After helping you through tribulations these past few months, along with the immortal herb you gave me, my cultivation has already reached 890,000 years."

"I feel that it will not be long before I break through to 900,000 years."

"But I do not have much confidence in facing the 900,000-year heavenly tribulation on my own, unless the Auspicious Beast wakes up."

As he spoke, Di Tian sighed as well.

His cultivation was stuck at this threshold. He could not say whether that was good or bad.

Breaking through was a good thing, but the heavenly tribulation was not.

Lan Lingcang nodded. "In that case, I'll handle the next three heavenly tribulations myself."

"When it is time for you to undergo the 900,000-year heavenly tribulation, perhaps I can help you."

Hearing that, Di Tian glanced at him but did not refuse.

Though this fellow's cultivation was only 700,000 years, his combat strength already far surpassed others of the same level.

With his help, the 900,000-year heavenly tribulation would indeed be much easier.

Lan Lingcang's gaze fell on a corner beside the Lake of Life.

A small golden, fluffy creature lay there.

Its entire body emitted a gentle golden radiance. Curled into a ball, it slept peacefully.

Scarlet King stood guard beside it, never leaving its side.

"This is the Imperial Auspicious Beast born from the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Lan Lingcang said calmly, "It does look rather cute."

Di Tian nodded. "Yes, she was born several thousand years ago."

"However, she is still in the nurturing stage. She has not yet gained intelligence and remains asleep."

"Once she awakens, all the soul beasts of our Star Dou Great Forest will receive her blessing."

"Their cultivation speed will increase, and their chances of breaking through heavenly tribulations will rise as well."

"In a sense, she is the future hope of the soul beasts of our Star Dou Great Forest."

Lan Lingcang looked at the Auspicious Beast for a few moments before suddenly saying, "Have you ever considered letting the Auspicious Beast transform into human form in the future?"

At those words, Di Tian's aura suddenly surged.

He frowned, and his tone became serious.

"That will not work. The Auspicious Beast cannot participate in the God Creation Project."

"If the Auspicious Beast dies, it will be a disaster for the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"And the soul beasts that sacrifice themselves for her will have no possibility of revival."

"Your Blue Silver Grass clan is special and possesses the ability to be reborn, which is why we agreed before."

"But the Auspicious Beast is different. Nothing can happen to her."

Lan Lingcang chuckled and waved a hand. "I was only saying it. With the little one's current cultivation, she cannot transform anyway."

"Besides, she has never left the forest and knows nothing of the treachery of humans outside. In terms of temperament, she is even worse than Ah Yin."

"Rather than having her transform and join the God Creation Project, it would be more practical for you to transform instead."

Di Tian: "...Forget it. Compared to being human, I still prefer being a soul beast."
