Douluo: My Custom Achievement System
Although it was nighttime, there was no sense of darkness in this valley.
Under the moonlight, bluish-green light spots filled the entire valley, making it appear exceptionally bright.
Most striking is a towering tree located in the center of the valley.
Under the moonlight, its leaves shimmered with a bluish-gold light, and its bark, like warm jade, flowed with bluish-gold veins.
Most notably, in the center of the valley, there is a sizable lake, but what flows in the lake is not water.
Rather, it is a high concentration of Life Force, like a blue gemstone.
Jiang Yi stared wide-eyed at the plants in the valley, which was filled with all sorts of exotic flowers, rare herbs, and rare treasures.
It may not be as good as the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but it is definitely one of the top treasure lands on the Douluo Continent.
The Tree of Life Jiang Yi most wanted to find, there were over a hundred of them living here.
Judging from the fluctuations in life energy, it is actually the weakest of the Tree of Life, yet it still possesses 50,000 years of cultivation.
Xuan Zi was astonished by everything in the valley, and at the same time, he stared intently at the giant tree in the very center.
This tree possesses at least 500,000 years of cultivation, and its foundation is terrifyingly profound.
Being in this valley, Xuan Zi felt that he was no match for it at all.
"However, it seems there's no need to take action."
Xuan Zi stood there, his body tense, not sensing any malice from his surroundings.
All the Soul Beast here were watching Jiang Yi, and they were all very curious about him.
Why does a human being possess such a powerful Life Force?
And standing here actually made these Plant Soul Beast cultivate faster.
"Are you our auspicious Auspicious Beast Plant Soul Beast beast?" A childish voice broke the silence.
Jiang Yi looked at the youngest Tree of Life and asked the question.
A strange expression appeared on his face, because in some ways, he really was Auspicious Beast Plant Soul Beast.
Around him, not only will the Life Force of the environment increase continuously, but the growth rate of plants will also accelerate.
For Plant-type Soul Beast, what else could it be but Auspicious Beast?
"Perhaps I would say so," Jiang Yi said uncertainly.
"Don't ask random questions," a larger Tree of Life nearby scolded.
The little Tree of Life closed its mouth, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
A silence fell for a while, and Jiang Yi couldn't help but speak first.
An incredibly ancient voice suddenly echoed throughout the valley, "Child, how do you know the life frequency of our Tree of Life clan?"
Faced with the question from the most powerful Tree of Life, Jiang Yi did not intend to hide anything.
"My teacher's Martial Soul is the Tree of Life, so I understand the life frequency of the Tree of Life."
"I see."
"So what do you want from us?" the aged voice asked.
"I am Soul Master who specializes in the Path of Life. I want to fuse a Soul Ring from the Tree of Life with my Fourth Soul Ring, which would be of great benefit to me."
Jiang Yi spoke frankly, but Xuan Zi was sweating bullets and had even prepared for battle.
However, these Tree of Life did not become angry or launch an attack as expected.
Because the Tree of Life is not like other Soul Beast.
Even if you become someone else's Soul Ring, as long as you leave behind your own seed, you can be resurrected later.
Therefore, becoming someone else's Soul Ring is not the end for them.
These were things that Elder Zhuang told him; there wasn't even any record of this in the Shrek Academy's archives.
"Why should I hand over my people to you?" the aged voice retorted.
"Senior, I am currently only Soul Elder, but you can still sense the strength of my Life Force."
"In addition, I've also mastered some techniques."
Then Jiang Yi began to demonstrate his Life Domain, the Fire of Life, and the Life Withering to these Tree of Life.
These Tree of Life did not speak, but their trembling leaves expressed their emotions.
"I want to take another step forward in the path of life. With my talent, what kind of achievements do you think I can make?" Jiang Yi asked in return.
The aged voice did not reply immediately. To have achieved such cultivation results at such a young age, future progress is foreseeable.
"Perhaps you can become a god," the aged voice finally said.
"However, whether they are willing to leave with you depends on whether they agree."
Jiang Yi's face immediately lit up with joy; this meant there was an opportunity.
"Please rest assured, even if I am unable to become a god in the future, I will definitely bring your souls back before I die, so that you can return to the seed and grow anew."
Jiang Yi made another promise to them.
Soon, the valley fell silent again, and blue light filled the sky as they communicated with each other using their Spiritual Power.
Jiang Yi stood calmly in place, waiting for the result.
Three minutes later, a medium-sized Tree of Life, located among the many Tree of Life, said, "I am willing to leave with you."
Jiang Yi immediately expressed his gratitude. "Thank you for your choice."
Chapter 164 The Fourth Ring of Ten Thousand Years, A Sudden Encounter
Xuan Zi was delighted to see that there were indeed Soul Beast willing to sacrifice themselves.
This is a 100,000-year-old Tree of Life! Obtaining a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring on the fourth ring will definitely bring a huge boost.
"Xiao Ba, since you've made your decision, then go with him." The ancient tree's voice was tinged with sadness.
"Hmm." The Tree of Life, also known as Xiao Ba, was deeply saddened and speechless.
"Child, enter the pool and prepare to receive Xiao Ba's sacrifice," the aged voice commanded.
Without hesitation, Jiang Yi jumped directly into the lake, which was teeming with life.
Instantly, Life Force surged into his pores, and a feeling of comfort spread throughout his body.
At this moment, Xiao Ba's enormous body began to tremble violently, and its emerald green leaves shone brightly under the night sky.
Like a verdant sun, it fell into the valley.
All the light converged and then shone on Jiang Yi.
It transformed into pure Life Force and merged into Jiang Yi's body.
Faced with this power, Jiang Yi closed his eyes, and a dazzling red light suddenly spread out, as if everything around him had frozen in that moment.
Only within the red light can a person and a beast move.
Xuan Zi watched the process intently; it was the first time he had ever witnessed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast sacrificing itself for humanity.
Xiao Ba's enormous body gradually became ethereal, and all its energy was poured into Jiang Yi's body without reservation.
In the end, only a single cyan-gold seed remained, floating in the sky.
The largest Tree of Life emitted a beam of azure light from its crown, drawing the seed into its body.
At this moment, Jiang Yi was immersed in the lake water, and it seemed that an invisible force was supporting his body, keeping his head above the water.
He was enveloped in a red light, and his aura was constantly growing stronger.
Xuan Zi stood aside, waiting for him to complete the fusion of the Soul Ring.
The life energy of a 100,000-year-old Plant Soul Beast is enormous, let alone a 100,000-year-old Tree of Life.
As the most powerful Soul Beast in the entire Douluo Continent Life Force, even the Blue Silver Emperor's Life Force is far inferior to it.
This power entered his body and was continuously absorbed, refined, and condensed by Jiang Yi, leaving his body completely cleansed.
Naturally, there's no need for these Life Force to cleanse the body.
As the fusion deepened, all the Life Force within Jiang Yi's body had transformed into a liquid state and become incredibly viscous.
If you don't focus on controlling these Life Force, they can't even circulate on their own.
The time when it becomes solid is not far off.
Within the Sea of Consciousness, Electrolux also began to take action, intending to preserve Xiao Ba's soul and place it within the Sea of Consciousness.
What the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could do, the god Electrolux could naturally do with ease as well.
A Sisi blue-gold light appeared on Jiang Yi's body, and his long black hair slowly turned blue.
However, the transformation only went halfway before it began to slow down and did not fully materialize.
Time passed second by second as Huo Yuhao and his two companions waited outside the Star Dou Great Forest.
Looking towards the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, a look of worry couldn't help but appear in his eyes.
Five days have passed, but they still haven't come out.
"It's been so many days, and they still haven't come out. Could something have happened to them?" Xiao Xiao couldn't help but ask with some concern.
" With Xuan Zi's immense strength, even if he were to encounter Ferocious Beast, a major battle would surely ensue."
"There's no movement inside right now, which means they're still safe," Huo Yuhao analyzed calmly.
Upon hearing this, the other two could only continue to wait where they were, praying for their early return.
Two more days passed in the blink of an eye, and now Jiang Yi's fusion of Soul Ring was finally coming to an end.
Now, his entire body is tinged with a cyan color by rich life energy.
A faint blue-gold hue can be seen within the cyan color.
"This kid is about to complete the fusion." Xuan Zi thought to himself as he sensed the energy fluctuations.
"Crack, crack!" The sound of breaking continued.
The cyan outer shell on Jiang Yi's body suddenly shattered, and a dazzling blue-gold light burst forth.
He floated in mid-air, and behind him, three Soul Ring— purple, purple, and black—rose one by one.
Then a red light appeared, and a blood-red Soul Ring rose behind him.
"A fourth ring after 100,000 years, this kid really knows how to create miracles." Xuan Zi could no longer hide the smile on his face.
He felt that agreeing to Wang Yan's request to admit the boy through special admission was the best decision he had ever made in his life.
Jiang Yi slowly descended from the sky, landing on the lake surface without falling.
"Thank you all for your help, seniors. I will certainly keep my promise." Jiang Yi was the first to express his gratitude to the Tree of Life present.
"Yes, I hope you can reach the heights I envision." The aged voice rang out again.
"Now that the fusion is complete, you should leave. Don't tell anyone about this."
"I will definitely keep this a secret," Jiang Yi solemnly promised.
Given how secluded this place is, as long as he doesn't say anything, it's impossible for anyone to find him.
Jiang Yi and Xuan Zi returned the way they came and left this paradise.
On the way back, Xuan Zi couldn't help but say, "You rascal, I never expected you to have such a wonderful encounter."
"I didn't expect it myself; it was all just a coincidence," Jiang Yi said with a smile.
Originally, he was thinking of using a Tree of Life that was about 50,000 years old as his Fourth Soul Ring.
He was pleasantly surprised to have gained the favor of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, a gain that exceeded his expectations.
As he walked, he felt the changes within his body.
Having fused with this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, his Soul Power naturally increased dramatically, allowing him to break through five levels and reach level 45.
Its Life Force has begun to solidify, and its Spiritual Power has also been greatly enhanced, after all, this is Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Xiao Ba's soul has been preserved by Electrolux and placed in the Sea of Consciousness. Even if he is unable to become a god in the future, he can be sent back.
