Wang Tianyi looked at the four options laid out before him. The system's arrival had been a timely rescue. The Ten-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone was certainly precious, but unfortunately, the two Transcendent God-Tier Martial Souls within him did not seem interested.

What he needed to consider now was what kind of Soul Bone to choose.

"Two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones, but they're both leg bones. Then there are two eighty-thousand-year Soul Bones, one torso and one head..."

Wang Tianyi plopped down on Tang Hao and began to think.

First, the eighty-thousand-year torso Soul Bone could be discarded immediately. Its age was too low, and while torso Soul Bones were precious, they could not compare to head Soul Bones! The next one Wang Tianyi abandoned was the eighty-thousand-year head Soul Bone. He had already transmigrated—how could he not have ambitions? An eighty-thousand-year Soul Bone could not satisfy him. If he was going to absorb one, it had to be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone! That meant two soul skills, and the power contained within a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone was enough to rapidly increase his cultivation.

"Heaven-Equaling left leg and Six Ears right leg..."

This was indeed a difficult choice. The quality of the two Soul Bones should have been nearly identical, but what Wang Tianyi needed to consider first was the balance between his two super Martial Souls.

As he pondered, a wave of Soul Power suddenly radiated from above his head.

"External Soul Bone, Sage's Golden Headband!"

This was the first time Wang Tianyi had revealed his External Soul Bone. It had been bestowed by the system; though its age was low, its quality was exceptionally high!

"System, system... it looks like you never gave me a choice at all!"

Wang Tianyi gave a bitter smile, then decisively chose the first option: the hundred-thousand-year right leg bone compatible with the Qi Tian Martial Soul! The reason was simple. His External Soul Bone, the Sage's Golden Headband, possessed one active skill and one passive skill. He would not mention the active skill for now; what Wang Tianyi valued most was this soul bone's passive skill: Yin-Yang!

This passive soul skill could bring the two Transcendent God-Tier Martial Souls within Wang Tianyi into balance. It could not have suited him better. Moreover, the golden headband had originally been used to restrain the Great Sage, and this External Soul Bone possessed the same ability. After absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone compatible with the Qi Tian Martial Soul, Heaven-Equaling's power would certainly increase. But with this External Soul Bone present, the extent of Heaven-Equaling's growth would become controllable, minimizing its negative effects on him.

As Wang Tianyi finished speaking, a glittering golden left leg bone appeared in his hand. It looked as though it had been forged from glazed crystal, surrounded by auspicious clouds and violet mist. The Soul Bone was remarkably complete, extending from thigh to calf. The instant it appeared, the dark cave was illuminated by its radiance as brightly as day. Even a blind man could tell that this Soul Bone was anything but ordinary!

[Congratulations, Host, for obtaining the Hundred-Thousand-Year Great Sage Remnant Body Leg Soul Bone! Would you like the system to assist you in fusing with it?]

The system was quite considerate, and Wang Tianyi was very satisfied. However, he did not respond immediately. Instead, he stared at the soul bone in his hand with excitement. It gave him the feeling that they had been born as one, as if this soul bone had been stripped from his own body and was now finally returning to him. The Qi Tian Martial Soul within him was rejoicing!

"What extraordinary quality! System, assist me in fusing with this Soul Bone!"

Wang Tianyi took a deep breath. After playing with it for ten minutes, he finally decided to fuse with the Soul Bone! The seven levels of Soul Power in his body began to connect with it. The Soul Bone seemed to have found its true home and eagerly attached itself to his left leg. A powerful, domineering force surged into Wang Tianyi's body, yet it did not cause him any pain. This Soul Bone was one hundred percent compatible with him. Even when Tang San absorbed Ah Yin's Soul Bone, their compatibility could never have reached one hundred percent.

The system did not seem to have exerted much power, at least not as far as Wang Tianyi could tell. But when he opened his eyes again, sunlight was already streaming through the opening above, and the air was filled with a sacred aura. Wang Tianyi was overjoyed. He carefully sensed the Soul Power within himself, then froze completely.

"What? Why am I only level nineteen? System, get out here! My Soul Power had already reached level sixteen and a half. After swallowing a Ten-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, plus a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, how could my Soul Power have only increased by two and a half levels? Tell me! Did you skim some off the top? And do you have some obsession with the number two point five? What is this, fried chicken wings over rice?"

Wang Tianyi grumbled and cursed. With his current Soul Power Level, even if he had only fused with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, his cultivation should have definitely reached level twenty! A Blue Silver Emperor that had become Immortal-grade Herbs, combined with a high-quality Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone, had only raised him by two and a half levels? Who was he trying to fool? He was in an extremely foul mood now!

What's wrong, youngster? I took some of my power. Are you very unhappy about that?

A voice rang out in Wang Tianyi's mind, but it was not the familiar electronic voice of the system. It was a rebellious voice brimming with boundless pride, as though not even the gods and Buddhas filling the heavens could bind it!

"Great Sage?"

Wang Tianyi was stunned. Then he felt the world spin around him, and he was instantly dragged into his Spiritual Sea!

It was rather ridiculous. Since gaining his Spiritual Sea, this was only the second time he had entered it. The first time, he had merely witnessed the battle between two divine monkeys before being kicked out the next moment. It was simply too insulting. This was his own body—could he not even make decisions for himself?

Though he was dissatisfied, his body was honest. Wang Tianyi remembered the words of those two divine monkeys and never entered the Spiritual Sea on his own again. Today, he had been forced in...

Youngster, long time no see!

Wang Tianyi, who had sunk into the Spiritual Sea, opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a divine monkey born of heaven and earth! That majestic appearance belonged to none other than the legendary Sun Wukong!

And then...

Wang Tianyi, who had always thought highly of himself and possessed great pride, became incredibly restrained, as though he had met his idol.

No man could resist Sun Wukong's charm!

Relax. This is your body, after all! Are you worried that Old Sun will eat you?

Perhaps because of the trust he held for Sun Wukong deep in his bones, Wang Tianyi's body truly relaxed. He took a deep breath and met the Great Sage's gaze. Only then did he clearly see what this divine monkey of legend truly looked like.

The Great Sage could not exactly be called handsome. Instead, he looked somewhat fierce. Considering he had risen from the Demon King, that was only natural. Yet his face did not inspire fear. Combined with his armor and the aura surrounding him, Wang Tianyi felt that if heroes truly existed in this world, they should look like this!

Hmph! You two are having quite the pleasant chat! Boy, why didn't you choose this true lord's bone?

If the Great Sage's voice gave one a sense of reassurance, then this voice inspired nothing but fear!

Wang Tianyi shuddered. He turned his head, only to discover that this Six Ears True Lord looked somewhat miserable at the moment...

As though he had been beaten up...
