Douluo: My Custom Achievement System

A smile appeared on Jiang Yi's face; he had finally managed to get it done before fusing the Soul Ring.

"The next achievement is becoming a collector of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, which probably won't be easy to achieve."

After all, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are not very common in the entire Douluo Continent, and the vast majority of them are concentrated in the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, if one dares to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, it could easily trigger a beast tide.

Moreover, these are ten Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

If he really did that, Di Tian would probably come after him to kill him.

"Perhaps we can only start from the sea, or maybe from one of the other continents?" Jiang Yi quickly came up with a solution.

After all, Douluo Star is very large, with vast ocean areas and two other continents in addition to the Douluo Continent.

If one can obtain the achievement of being a collector of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, each Soul Ring can be added 100,000 years to its age limit out of thin air.

This is a huge improvement for anyone.

However, thinking about that now is too far off.

Jiang Yi returned to his thoughts and continued giving directions. About an hour later, it was almost dusk.

They finally arrived near the location of the Soul Beast that Jiang Yi had mentioned, to be precise, about five thousand meters away.

The reason for this is that this Soul Beast is very special.

"Jiang Yi, why did you stop here?" Xuan Zi asked, puzzled.

Jiang Nannan and Bei Bei were equally puzzled; the surrounding area was full of dense plants, and they couldn't find any trace of any Soul Beast.

"Xuan Zi, have you ever heard of the Prophet Gu Rong, a Soul Beast?" Jiang Yi asked with a smile.

The name "Gu Rong" startled Xuan Zi for a moment, but he immediately understood.

Xuan Zi was somewhat surprised. "Your target this time is the Prophet Gu Rong?"

"That's right." Jiang Yi nodded.

"No wonder you stopped so far away." Xuan Zi suddenly realized.

The others remained bewildered; clearly, they had no knowledge of this kind of Soul Beast.

Xuan Zi then explained to them that the Ancient Prophet Gu Rong was a very complex Plant-type Soul Beast.

Before the ancient Gu Rong gained sentience, it had no offensive capabilities and simply stood still, no different from an ordinary plant.

However, once it surpasses ten thousand years and gains sentience, its cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, making it exceptionally powerful.

During this process, its root system will continuously spread outwards, and it can monitor those areas through those roots.

Collect information on all the Soul Beast, as well as their combat styles.

It also possesses a terrifying talent: the ability to foresee the future five seconds in advance, which is why it is known as the Prophet Gu Rong.

With its detailed information on the Soul Beast and its fighting style, coupled with its ability to foresee the future, virtually no one can compete with it on its home turf.

Furthermore, it will become stronger as it ages, instead of gradually declining like other Soul Beast.

If left undisturbed, this kind of Soul Beast can live indefinitely.

However, this kind of Soul Beast also has a drawback: its cultivation level increases very slowly.

Soul Beast of the same level as it may only need a few hundred years to cultivate to the level of ten thousand years.

It only takes a few thousand years, or even a few thousand years.

Therefore, these Soul Beast have a hard time growing up; they are either hunted by humans or devoured by other Soul Beast.

Finding a 90,000-year-old ancient Gu Rong was an unexpected delight for Jiang Yi.

Chapter 189 The Threat of the Myriad Demon King, Voluntary Sacrifice

After hearing Xuan Zi's explanation, the three of them understood.

The reason we stopped so far away is because if we went any further, we would enter the area monitored by the Ancient Prophet Gu Rong.

After explaining, Xuan Zi felt something was amiss. Logically speaking, the root system of a 90,000-year-old ancient Gu Rong should have spread over a distance of more than 5,000 meters.

Xuan Zi explained the issue, but Jiang Yi wasn't really sure either.

"That's right. The ancient Gu Rong, which is 90,000 years old, has spread over an area of at least 40,000 square meters."

"But it's only five thousand meters, which is really unusual." Jiang Yi frowned in confusion.

However, in his perception, the root system of the Gu Rong was indeed only this large.

Jiang Yi was extremely confident in his perception of energy and Life Force, and he was absolutely certain that he would not make any mistakes.

"Never mind, no matter the reason, he can't escape my grasp."

"You all wait here. I'll go and subdue this Prophet Ancient Gu Rong. Jiang Yi, you come over and absorb the Soul Ring," Xuan Zi said domineeringly.

For him, the 90,000-year-old ancient Gu Rong was nothing special.

Just as Xuan Zi finished speaking and was about to make a move, a hurried voice rang in his and Jiang Yi's ears.

"Human powerhouse, please don't make a move yet. We can actually talk."

"What?" Xuan Zi was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

However, it was quickly realized that the voice must have come from the prophet, the ancient Gu Rong.

Xuan Zi asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

"What I mean is that we don't actually need to go to great lengths. It's that child who wants my Soul Ring, right? I can actually sacrifice myself for him."

The prophet, Gu Rong, quickly offered an explanation, as if afraid that Xuan Zi would disobey it and kill it directly.

Is it permissible to offer sacrifices?

Xuan Zi wondered if he was hallucinating when he heard this.

There are actually Soul Beast willing to sacrifice themselves to humans even though they are complete strangers and have never even fought each other.

This made Xuan Zi suspect that the prophet Gu Rong was plotting something.

At this moment, Jiang Yi, who had been frowning and listening to the conversation between the two, finally spoke.

"Xuan Zi, let's hear what their reasons are."

This ancient Gu Rong is strange in every way, whether it's the desire for a voluntary sacrifice or the excessive spread of its roots beyond its intended age.

Something might really have happened.

"That's right, that's right, I sincerely want to make the sacrifice," the prophet Gu Rong quickly assured him.

It then went on to explain why it voluntarily offered itself as a sacrifice to Jiang Yi.

It all started with the rise of the Myriad Demon King, back when Myriad Demon King was just an ordinary Demon Eye Tree.

The ancient Gu Rong, already over ten thousand years old, has begun its journey step by step towards becoming the strongest plant Soul Beast.

Unfortunately, its growth rate was too slow, while the Myriad Demon King, who had devoured the Immortal Herb, cultivated at a speed that was far ahead of everyone else.

It didn't take long for it to surpass it, and it broke through 100,000 years at an extremely fast pace, followed by 200,000, 300,000, and finally 500,000 years.

And it took so long for it to finally reach the strength of 90,000 years.

Although its strength was comparable to that of nearly 150,000 Soul Beast, it still appeared too weak in front of the Myriad Demon King.

However, the Ancient Prophet Gu Rong's characteristic of becoming stronger the older it is still something that makes the Myriad Demon King wary.

However, because Di Tian valued the Gu Rong's talent, he wanted it to continue developing and become a barrier for the Star Dou Great Forest.

That's why the Myriad Demon King couldn't kill him directly.

Unable to deal with the prophet Gu Rong, the Myriad Demon King, with his treacherous and ruthless nature, will not let the matter rest.

So, they openly and secretly restricted the ancient Gu Rong, first forcing it to shrink its spreading root system back, limiting it to a radius of five thousand meters.

Furthermore, it drove away all the surrounding Soul Beast, preventing it from collecting information about Soul Beast.

In this situation, it's not surprising that the ancient Gu Rong is struggling to develop.

The constant fear of being killed by the Myriad Demon King was simply unbearable for it.

That's why he had the idea of escaping; otherwise, sooner or later, the Myriad Demon King would have forced him to his death.

At that moment, Xuan Zi and Jiang Yi suddenly arrived.

The surging Life Force emanating from Jiang Yi's body far surpassed that of this 90,000-year-old plant Soul Beast.

Such humans are extremely rare and are undoubtedly the best candidates for it to escape from this place.

With its own powerful mental strength, it was still able to retain a sliver of consciousness to stay by Jiang Yi's side.

The prophet Gu Rong realized that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which is why he was willing to sacrifice himself for Jiang Yi.

Offering herself to Jiang Yi would allow her soul to be entrusted to Soul Ring; leaving it here would likely result in her being completely devoured by the Myriad Demon King.

Neither the body nor the soul could survive.

After hearing the explanation from the prophet Gu Rong, Jiang Yi and Xuan Zi were already 90% convinced.

This can well explain the abnormal behavior exhibited by the ancient Gu Rong.

They both knew about the Myriad Demon King, one of the Ten Thousand Ferocious Beast.

He certainly has a treacherous and ruthless personality; it's not surprising that he would do something like this.

"I can feel that your Life Force is very strong, even stronger than mine. I am willing to sacrifice myself for you," the prophet Gu Rong added at the end.

Xuan Zi looked at Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi naturally nodded directly.

He wasn't afraid of any tricks the Gu Rong might play. As long as it sacrificed itself for him, the power of destiny within the Sea of Consciousness and Electrolux could teach it a lesson.

"Okay, let's go there now."

Xuan Zi did not raise any objections.

His previous concern was whether Jiang Yi's body could withstand a 90,000-year-old Soul Ring.

Now that the prophet Gu Rong is willing to offer a sacrifice, there is naturally nothing to worry about.

Xuan Zi led Jiang Yi, Jiang Nannan, and the other two forward.

Before long, they finally saw the true form of the Prophet Gu Rong.

It was an enormous banyan tree that looked extremely ancient, entirely grayish-white, with a canopy that resembled clouds and aerial roots that hung down like curtains.

Its trunk has naturally formed, strange patterns resembling the grooves of a brain, and it is shrouded in a white aura, making it appear very mysterious.

"Hello." In the center of the Gu Rong tree, the tree began to twist and turn, forming a human face.

Jiang Nannan and the others adopted a wary posture, and Jiang Yi immediately explained to them that the ancient Gu Rong was friendly.

"Now that we've reached an agreement, let's not delay any longer."

As the one offering the sacrifice, the prophet Gu Rong seemed somewhat impatient.

The main reason was that it feared the Myriad Demon King might suddenly appear, accuse it of being a traitor who collaborated with humans, and then devour it.

Therefore, it is natural to act swiftly and decisively to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Chapter 190 The Vast Ocean is Just One Step Away

"Then let's begin." Jiang Yi didn't hesitate.

The enormous body of the Prophet Gu Rong began to sway, and wisps Sisi white aura enveloped Jiang Yi's body.

Energy continuously flowed into Jiang Yi's body.

Jiang Yi closed his eyes and focused on absorbing the energy from the ancient Gu Rong.

Gu Rong, the prophet with the ability to foresee five seconds into the future, undoubtedly possesses the power of time.

If one can acquire this ability, then fusing with the Ancient Prophet Gu Rong would be the greatest gain.

Of course, even without obtaining it, the fusion would still significantly enhance the spiritual power of the prophet Gu Rong, given his powerful spiritual strength.

As energy was continuously injected, the body of the Prophet Gu Rong transformed into pure energy.

The root system, which was originally spread over a radius of 5,000 meters and all squeezed together, was now completely transformed into energy.
