The Evolutionary Path of the Six-Winged Angel (Part 2)

Ling Bai arrived at the center of Sea God Island, where a three-story building stood. A black plaque hung above it, its three gilded characters declaring its identity: Sea God Pavilion.

Sea God Pavilion had originally been a Golden Tree, a rare tree in the world imbued with the aura of light and life. Without harming the Golden Tree's vitality, Shrek Academy's predecessors had carved Sea God Pavilion from it.

The instant Ling Bai stepped into Sea God Pavilion, dense yet gentle golden light drifted down, enveloping his entire body. The warm, profound aura of light continuously nourished him.

The Six-Winged Angel suddenly possessed him of its own accord. Incomparably clear, sacred radiance intertwined with the Golden Tree's golden glow, while his right arm, which had absorbed the Blazing Bone Dragon Vulture soul bone, unexpectedly emitted a vivid, pure golden light. From time to time, resounding dragon roars echoed out.

"Little fellow, this is your first time entering Sea God Pavilion. As an elder, I should give you a gift."

A kindly voice, as soothing as a spring breeze, rang beside Ling Bai's ears. The next second, a pure light-attributed energy rushed directly into his body. His Soul Power instantly leaped from the peak of Rank 41 to the peak of Rank 42, and he could break through to Rank 43 at any moment.

"Thank you for your gift, Senior."

Ling Bai gave a deep bow toward the empty air. Within Shrek Academy, only one person could wield the Golden Tree's power—the Rank 99 Ultimate Douluo, Master of Sea God Pavilion, one of the Black White Twin Sacred Dragons, Dragon God Douluo Mu En.

Whether in strength, character, or contributions to Douluo Continent, Elder Mu was a senior Ling Bai deeply admired and respected.

"You are Ji Ren's direct disciple. Shrek is your second home." Elder Mu's aged voice carried a smile. "Cultivate peacefully within the Golden Tree from now on, and do not disappoint Ji Ren's expectations of you."

"Yes, Senior."

Ling Bai entered the first floor of Sea God Pavilion and quickly found his room by the inscription above its door. Worth mentioning was that his neighbors on either side were Zhang Lexuan, the Eldest Senior Sister of the inner courtyard, and Bei Bei, the Tang Sect's eldest senior brother.

Both of their rooms were currently closed. Ling Bai did not disturb them rashly and instead pushed open his own door. The furnishings inside were extremely simple: a wooden bed, wooden table, and wooden chairs. The moment he opened the door, a dense light energy, nearly solid enough to take form, rushed toward him. With every breath, his Soul Power seemed to slowly rise.

"The long-lost aura of the Light Goddess... No, in this world, it should be called Ultimate Light." Electrolux sighed in the Sea of Consciousness.

"Old Yi."

Ling Bai transformed into a spiritual body and appeared before Electrolux. Then his eyelid suddenly twitched. There was no other reason—Electrolux looked rather...

Disheveled.

His previously neat gray-white hair had become messy, and several holes had appeared in his understated yet luxurious black robe.

"What are you looking at?"

Electrolux's brows rose as he pointed at the sky and snapped irritably, "Do you have no idea why I'm like this, brat?"

Ling Bai saw the Death Prison Spider Emperor trapped within a golden cage in the distant sky. Pressing his palms together, he said sincerely, "Old Yi, you've worked hard."

Electrolux snorted. "I truly fell for your trap. The divine power inside this Death Prison Spider Emperor is incomparably strange and evil. I paid an enormous price just to barely seal it. If you don't use this Golden Tree's light power to reinforce the seal soon, then just wait to become an evil devil that only knows how to devour blood and souls!"

"I will remember Old Yi's kindness in my heart. One day, I will surely help you restore your soul and reconstruct your body!"

Ling Bai tried to make Electrolux an empty promise, but the old man was far too experienced and immediately saw through him.

"Save it. I have something I need your help with right now!"

"Please tell me. I will do everything in my power," Ling Bai said seriously.

"When my remnant soul traveled through time and space to Douluo Continent, it consumed a great deal of Soul Power. I also lost part of it while fighting the Death Prison Spider Emperor, so my soul is no longer very stable."

Electrolux sighed and stated his request. "Therefore, I need an anchor."

Ling Bai asked in confusion, "What should I do?"

"You don't need to deliberately do anything," Electrolux said. "Open your Death Prison Spider Emperor martial soul. My soul power will occupy one soul ring slot."

"That's it?"

Ling Bai was utterly stunned. He had thought it would be something difficult and had even mentally prepared himself to return to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect to seek help from Jian Mu Douluo and the Sect Master. Yet all Electrolux wanted was a soul ring slot!?

Electrolux continued, "I know that every soul ring is crucial to a Soul Master. Although you tricked me into entering your Sea of Consciousness earlier, I still do not wish to deceive you. This soul ring will merely carry my soul and will not grant you any soul skills.

You should consider this carefully."

Hearing that, Ling Bai fell into thought. After a long while, he spoke solemnly. "Old Yi, you are the mighty Holy Necromancer. Is one soul ring enough to carry your soul? The Death Prison Spider Emperor can currently absorb four soul rings. Why not occupy a few more slots?"

Electrolux was stunned for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter. "Good, good, good! At least you brat have some conscience. My loss of Soul Power for you wasn't in vain!"

In that instant, Ling Bai seemed to understand something and gave a bitter smile. "So you were testing me."

Electrolux laughed loudly. "The test was real, and taking one of your soul ring slots is real as well. But the part about being unable to grant soul skills was false!

The soul ring formed from my soul contains the Necromancy I created over my entire lifetime. Ling Bai, your good fortune lies ahead!"

Ling Bai smiled in relief. Electrolux had already helped him restrain the Death Prison Spider Emperor and prevented him from falling to the Rakshasa Evil Force. Giving up a soul ring slot was only natural, while learning Necromancy was an unexpected delight.

More importantly, he had earned Electrolux's heartfelt recognition. From then on, the two were truly tied together, sharing both glory and ruin.

"With my special soul ring and the Golden Tree's light power guarding you from now on, you can use the Death Prison Spider Emperor martial soul without restraint."

The surprises Electrolux brought came one after another, leaving Ling Bai nearly overwhelmed. Suppressing his excitement, he hurriedly asked, "You and the Golden Tree have already suppressed the Rakshasa Evil Force?"

"Temporarily."

Electrolux stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the Death Prison Spider Emperor's eight scarlet eyes in the distance. He said heavily, "As your Soul Power grows, the Death Prison Spider Emperor, as your martial soul, will grow stronger in tandem. The evil divine power within it will do the same. Even if I exhaust all my strength and make use of the Golden Tree, I can only suppress it for you until you reach Soul Sage.

Before breaking through to Soul Sage, you must eliminate that evil divine power. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Do you have a way?"

"Of course," Electrolux said proudly.

At that moment, Ling Bai could not help secretly marveling that having an elder at home was like having a treasure. An old veteran was still an old veteran—rich in experience!

"Your first martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, is a fusion of sacredness, light, and fire, yet only sacredness has entered the realm of Ultimate." Electrolux spoke slowly. "I believe the Six-Winged Angel can evolve once more!"

Ling Bai understood immediately, and the light in his eyes flared brightly. "You mean the Six-Winged Angel's light and fire attributes should also..."

"Just as you think.

Ultimate Sacredness, Ultimate Light, Ultimate Fire!

Gather the three Ultimate attributes into one body. Use sacredness to restrain evil—that is the true cure!"
