"How does one make a spirit beast perform a Sacrifice? By falling in love with a beast that has taken human form?"

Bibi Dong looked on in utter amazement, casually speculating aloud.

In her impression, that seemed to be the only way, and Tang Hao, the practitioner of such methods, had succeeded.

[Generally speaking, it is extremely difficult to make a spirit beast perform a Sacrifice.

However, with the advantage of foresight, Bibi Dong knew that if she could fuse with the hundred-thousand-year spirit bone of A Yin, the spirit beast that had taken human form back then, she could force the Blue Silver King, who was fiercely loyal to the Blue Silver Emperor, to perform a Sacrifice.

That Blue Silver King was inferior to the shapeshifted A Yin, but it still possessed eighty-five thousand years of cultivation.

An eighty-five-thousand-year first spirit ring—a record that would be difficult to break for the next ten thousand years.]

Xiao Wuji nodded slightly. He had gauged that number quite accurately; after all, the Tang Sect had not even been established yet, and Huo Yuhao breaking that record was a matter for over ten thousand years in the future.

[As it happened, through her past investigations, Bibi Dong had learned that A Yin's hundred-thousand-year right leg spirit bone had not been fused by Tang Hao, but had instead been hidden away.

The location was behind a waterfall in a valley near Holy Soul Village, and the eighty-five-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King was in the vicinity as well.]

"Ah!" Bibi Dong could not help but let out a cry of surprise.

Excitement—it was truly too exciting.

She had indeed received another incredible piece of guidance.

A hundred-thousand-year spirit bone, an eighty-five-thousand-year spirit ring—the acquisition of these items came simply from reading a few lines of text.

"I will cultivate a god!" Bibi Dong was filled with soaring ambition. In this life, she held every advantage; she would certainly ensure that her exceptionally talented and loyal disciple would ascend to godhood alongside her.

Xiao Wuji's expression shifted slightly. "Watch your tongue. Be careful that the 'Fart God' Yu Xiaogang doesn't ruin our Spirit Hall."

["The only trouble now is Tang Hao. The commotion caused by a spirit beast's Sacrifice is immense; Tang Hao will surely sense it while at Holy Soul Village." Bibi Dong toyed with a strand of hair falling before her chest, lost in recollection.]

"So Tang Hao is at Holy Soul Village. I wonder what his strength is like now..." Bibi Dong pondered for a moment before shaking her head.

Regardless of Tang Hao's strength, she was currently undergoing her divine trials and had no desire to cross paths with him.

[A quarter of an hour later, Bibi Dong finally reached a conclusion: "Calculating the time, three months after Wuji's spirit awakening, Tang Hao will leave Holy Soul Village. That will be the moment to strike."]

Looking at her subsequent arrangements, Bibi Dong nodded slightly.

Excluding the time spent fusing with the head spirit bone, there were still over two months until Tang Hao's departure.

In her past life, she had owed Wuji too much; these two months would serve as a small measure of compensation.

Having finished the chapter, Bibi Dong turned the page, and the expression on her face became intriguing.

[Chapter 8: Go Forge for the Spirit Hall, Tang San! Promoting Su Yuntao]

"That Sea God and Asura God, forging for the Spirit Hall?" Bibi Dong smiled. She glanced at the final name and pondered for a moment, puzzled. "Who is Su Yuntao? He sounds like someone from the Spirit Hall."

"Doesn't this just fill in the hole dug earlier?" Xiao Wuji laughed at this moment. He had promised to promote Brother Tao, and this was the time to fulfill that promise.

Bibi Dong read it carefully and finally understood everything.

It turned out that Tang San was a work-study student at Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy, and to make a living, he would go to a blacksmith shop in Nuoding City to forge.

As Tang Hao's son, he had learned the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, which allowed him to remove impurities from metal as thoroughly as possible.

She would promote a deacon named 'Su Yuntao' from the Nuoding City Spirit Hall and order him to acquire the blacksmith shop, turning it into a facility dedicated to refining iron ore.

In this way, every piece of iron ore Tang San refined would not only be work for the Spirit Hall, but would also provide the high-quality materials needed for the Spirit Hall to forge weapons.

"Tang San..." Bibi Dong gave a cold smile. Although she knew the location of her future great enemy, she had no intention of killing him with all her might right now.

For one, if she killed Tang San, the Sea God and Asura God could simply choose another successor. Killing him would only cause her to lose the advantage of her foresight, leaving her blind to who her future enemies might be or what moves they would make.

Secondly, the biased and corrupt God Realm was the ultimate enemy; killing a single Tang San would not solve the root problem.

With the dilemma weighing on her heart resolved and additional gains secured, Bibi Dong completely relaxed and settled into her bath.

[Rakshasa Rebirth, Bibi Dong latest chapter catch-up complete.]

[Follower count: 34.]

To ensure the reader's experience, Xiao Wuji, eyes fixed on the screen, completed the update regarding Tang Hao.

"Departure?!" Seeing the long-awaited update, the alcohol-reeking Tang Hao sat up abruptly from his bed, using the moonlight to read the content of the latest chapter.

Xiao Wuji watched from afar. Because Tang San had awakened the paternal Clear Sky Hammer, Tang Hao would hide in the shadows to observe.

He recounted the analysis and explanation Yu Xiaogang had given at the gates of Notting Junior Spirit Master Academy regarding his judgment that Tang San possessed twin spirits, as well as the subsequent developments, finally writing of Tang Hao's farewell to Yu Xiaogang.

"Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang is actually at Notting Academy!" A sharp glint flashed in Tang Hao's clouded, aged eyes.

He had heard of Yu Xiaogang, but he had not expected his insight to be truly superior; he actually knew that Lone Bamboo was the most suitable choice for Little San.

He felt at ease leaving Little San in his hands.

However, why was he in such a hurry to leave?

[Chapter 6: The Spirit Beast that Devours Lone Bamboo, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger]

"What an evil spirit beast!" Just from the chapter title, Tang Hao was incensed.

The Lone Bamboo spirit beast was the key to A Yin's resurrection, and in the future, they would need eighteen of them. With the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger devouring them one by one, wasn't this increasing the difficulty of them obtaining the Lone Bamboo spirit rings?

Xiao Wuji added a stuttering remark: "You already have a path to death?"

According to ancient records, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was legendary, said to be the result of the God of Evil descending upon a White Tiger. This caused it to mutate, transforming the White Tiger's original light attribute into a dark one, sprouting black wings that represented corruption, along with an Evil God Hook that resembled a scorpion's tail.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger possessed immense strength, all stemming from its incredibly domineering nature. It did not grow through its own cultivation, but rather by devouring Lone Bamboo soul beasts to rapidly increase its power.

It was a pity that even though the Lone Bamboo was a plant-type soul beast with a higher cultivation age than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it was still no match for such a top-tier soul beast.

Tang Hao gritted his teeth in frustration. He had to go—he absolutely had to go to the Star Dou Forest and wipe out the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger once and for all!

Xiao Wuji raised a hand to stroke his chin. His introduction to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was, naturally, a bit of an exaggeration.

It was true that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger devoured Lone Bamboo, but it did not refrain from devouring other soul beasts and soul masters either.

However, this type of soul beast was extremely rare. Currently, only Spirit Hall possessed records regarding it, and Tang Hao was not very well-informed about the creature.
