Immortal-Grade Chrysanthemum Plant Soul Beast-Was the Life Goddess a Shut-In?

Worship Hall!

Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised.

Could he really enter the Worship Hall?

Spirit Hall had existed for a long time, and the Worship Hall within it represented the pinnacle. Everyone who could enter the Worship Hall was a powerhouse among powerhouses.

"Dugu Bo, you're surprised because you don't understand yourself well enough yet. With a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and your martial soul's second evolution, entering the Worship Hall won't be a problem at all."

Su Mu's words greatly inspired Dugu Bo.

"I'll work hard!" Dugu Bo said firmly.

Su Mu said no more.

Qian Daoliu, who had gone nearby to search for a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, returned. Seeing that Dugu Bo had successfully absorbed it and reached level ninety-three, he nodded in satisfaction.

"Since Dugu Bo has finished absorbing it, Yue Guan and Gui Mei, come with me. I've already found suitable Soul Beasts for you."

"Yes, sir." Yue Guan and Gui Mei answered.

Everyone followed closely behind Qian Daoliu as they set off.

After arriving in the Far South Region, Qian Daoliu's group discovered that Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Qian Xunji were surrounding a plant-type Soul Beast.

After landing, Su Mu looked over.

A gigantic golden chrysanthemum was glaring menacingly at Qian Xunji and the other two.

Upon closer inspection, the edges of its petals were covered in sharp, blade-like serrations. Its roots and stalks were ancient as old iron, while its floral fragrance was not refreshing but carried a strange scent of extinction and decay.

"They're finally here. After a hundred thousand years of cultivation, this Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Sorrow Chrysanthemum has long developed intelligence, but it poses barely any threat to us."

Qian Xunji and Golden Crocodile Douluo had stumbled upon this Hundred-Thousand-Year Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Sorrow Chrysanthemum while searching. It was more than enough for Yue Guan to absorb its power.

"An immortal-grade chrysanthemum plant Soul Beast." Yue Guan's eyes were full of affection for the Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Sorrow Chrysanthemum. "Such a thing can only be encountered by chance, never sought. It's far too fated with me."

"Oh? This Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Sorrow Chrysanthemum is of excellent quality. It's perfect for Yue Guan to absorb. Your trip here wasn't in vain."

The Life Goddess was also slightly surprised upon seeing the Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Sorrow Chrysanthemum. It truly was not easy to find a plant Soul Beast of such quality.

"Senior Life, why is it that whenever you speak, there's no sign of movement at all?" Su Mu had thought the Life Goddess would show some other reaction when she spoke.

It was like this every time.

It would be terrible if she startled someone to death while they were doing something important one day.

The Life Goddess smiled. "You'll get used to it. It'll be fine later."

Su Mu was helpless. You're a God King. It's not like I can argue with you.

The Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Sorrow Chrysanthemum knew it could not escape, but it was impossible for it to simply accept its fate.

Its main body instantly exploded, and shattered gold filled the sky, fluttering down like a meteor shower with terrifying destructive power.

"Shattered Golden Rain. Nothing more than a dying struggle."

Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled disdainfully and casually waved his hand, directly scattering the Shattered Golden Rain. The pressure of a level ninety-eight Titled Douluo enveloped the Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Sorrow Chrysanthemum.

"Yue Guan, finish it."

Yue Guan immediately moved, flying toward the Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Sorrow Chrysanthemum.

He knew ordinary attacks were useless. A plant Soul Beast's vital core was hidden underground. Even if its flower crown and branches were destroyed, its roots would continuously draw life force from the earth and regenerate without end.

Gui Mei stepped forward at the side, black mist beginning to surge as it blasted apart the entire layer of earth and completely exposed the enormous main root, ancient as dark iron.

Yue Guan's gaze was resolute as he fully activated his Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul. Countless sharp chrysanthemum blades bombarded the main root, shattering the hard root system inch by inch and severing its final trace of life.

In an instant, the enormous golden chrysanthemum crown rapidly withered and fell. All its life essence gathered and rose into the air, and a scarlet Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring slowly floated in midair.

Yue Guan restrained his aura and sat cross-legged, drawing the Soul Ring into his body. The massive, violent plant-origin Soul Power swept through his meridians, carrying the tribulation flames and extinction power of a hundred thousand years as it scoured his body.

"Senior Brother, this is the first time I've seen a Hundred-Thousand-Year plant-type Soul Beast."

Bibi Dong was filled with amazement as she pulled Su Mu over to the pit where the dead Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Sorrow Chrysanthemum lay.

The moment Su Mu approached, a force began to stir.

From the cracks in the massive, decayed main root, a vast expanse of lustrous golden light streaked with purple patterns flowed out.

A torso bone like crystalline jade slowly broke free from the withered root's essence and floated in midair. Chrysanthemum-patterned halos flowed across its surface. This was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

"A Hundred Thousand Year torso bone!"

Bibi Dong looked as if she had discovered some priceless treasure.

"Xiao Mu, don't run around here. I'll take Gui Mei to find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that belongs to him."

After Qian Daoliu spoke, he had Azure Luan Douluo and Qian Xunji remain behind while he and Golden Crocodile Douluo left with Gui Mei.

After they left, an entire day and night passed.

Yue Guan successfully absorbed the Soul Ring. As the power of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring poured into his body, his Soul Power, like Dugu Bo's, reached level ninety-two.

When he opened his eyes, he found the Hundred Thousand Year torso bone already laid before him.

Yue Guan was beside himself with excitement. A Hundred Thousand Year torso bone.

Without lingering any longer, he began absorbing the torso bone.

After another long while, Yue Guan successfully absorbed the torso bone, and his Soul Power reached level ninety-three.

Yue Guan shared his Soul Skills.

His ninth Soul Skill was still, Chrysanthemum Withers, Ground Covered in Wounds, Flowers Fall and Hearts Break.

His second ninth Soul Skill was Ten Thousand Tribulations Sorrow Blossom.

Using his Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum martial soul as the foundation, it drew upon the origin power of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Golden Sorrow Chrysanthemum.

Hundreds of meters of space were covered by countless gilded shattered petals. The petals became indestructible streams of deadly blades, shredding all enemies across a vast area. Targets cut by the shattered petals would have their Soul Power stripped away, causing it to continuously drain.

Soul Bone Skill: Golden Chrysanthemum Blossom

Golden chrysanthemums bloomed in every direction, possessing enormous destructive power.

Soul Bone Skill: Golden Chrysanthemum Imperishable Body

When suffering grievous wounds, his body could repair its injuries like withering petals reforming. It consumed Soul Power in exchange for bodily regeneration. It could not revive the dead, but it could rapidly heal torn and crushed external wounds.

"Poison Old Man, shall we have a match when we get back?"

"Let's see which of us is stronger."

Yue Guan became interested and said eagerly.

"Fine, let's fight. Do you think this old man is afraid of you?"

Dugu Bo snorted coldly. He did not take a mere little chrysanthemum seriously at all.

The two of them truly could not avoid a contest, but Yue Guan had absorbed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. The origin of his martial soul had been elevated, and it was no longer that ordinary Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

This also raised Yue Guan's upper limit. Perhaps even reaching level ninety-seven or ninety-eight was not impossible.

The remaining people quietly waited where they were.

"Say, Little Mu-Mu, why don't you take a walk around nearby?"

"Isn't it boring always staying here?"

The Life Goddess suggested.

Su Mu immediately refused. "Senior Life, I have a goal. Once Teacher finishes absorbing his ninth Soul Ring, I'm going to find my seventh teammate."

"Spirit Hall is so large, and you've treated so many people across the continent. It wouldn't be difficult for you to call for a teammate."

The Life Goddess did not think it was a difficult matter.

She knew Su Mu's deeds extremely well and cared deeply about them—treating plagues, rushing to rescue villages immediately after fallen Soul Masters attacked them, and so on.

She did not understand why he had to search personally.

"If I'm looking, I have to find a teammate suitable for me. If I put out a call, a huge crowd would come, and I wouldn't be able to handle them."
