One hour later.
The golden light that enveloped Yueguan finally receded slowly, flowing into his body like rivers flowing into the sea.
He slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
“Finally awake!
How are you?” The ghost eagerly approached and looked Yue Guan up and down.
“Have you developed an indestructible body?” Upon hearing this, Yue Guan smiled slightly and gently shook his head.
“It’s not that easy.
The medicinal effects of each immortal herb cannot be fully absorbed immediately; it requires a gradual process.
The medicinal effects will accumulate in the body and be slowly released over time.” As he spoke, he stood up, stretched his limbs, felt the surging power within him, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
“However, I do feel that my body is more resilient, and…” “Your soul power has broken through its bottleneck, hasn’t it?” “Not only that, there’s an even bigger surprise, look.” Yue Guan said no more, and with a thought, released his martial spirit.
A large golden chrysanthemum appeared behind him.
But unlike before, this chrysanthemum has become more solid.
Those metallic petals looked as hard as iron.
The flower’s stamens changed from gold to reddish-gold.
The moment the martial spirit was released, an invisible pressure spread outwards from Yue Guan as the center.
The golden light was more dazzling than ever before, bathing the surrounding area in a pale gold hue.
The ghost was dumbfounded.
“This is…
a martial soul evolution?!” Yue Guan nodded and withdrew his martial spirit.
“That rare and powerful chrysanthemum perfectly complements my martial soul.
As my martial soul evolves, my attack and defense capabilities have both increased significantly, especially in defense.
Moreover, the increase in my soul power…
is probably even greater than yours.” Upon hearing this, Ghost felt no jealousy whatsoever; instead, he was genuinely happy for his old partner.
The two have known each other since they were teenagers, worked together for many years, and have a deep friendship.
As Yue Guan grew stronger, his brother felt deeply gratified.
“Great!
That’s wonderful!
My good brother, I’m so happy for you!” Ghostly patted Yue Guan on the shoulder excitedly and joked: “You’ve definitely gotten much more muscular!
And you have a more masculine vibe, haha~~~” Yue Guan smiled too.
He did feel that his energy and blood were more abundant.
“Although we have both broken through the level 70 bottleneck, we haven’t obtained our seventh soul ring yet, so we can’t sense our specific level.
My improvement will be greater than yours, and we won’t be on the same level anymore.
However, the medicinal effects of the immortal herb will continue to work in our bodies, and our soul power will increase much faster than before when we cultivate.
Over time, this benefit will become greater and greater.” The ghost was deeply moved.
The power of the immortal herb is indeed extraordinary.
This is a benefit that will last a lifetime.
“Good brother, is this the confidence you have in rejecting the Spirit Hall?” I guess so.
“So, you had planned all of this all along.” The ghost suddenly remembered something and sighed: “Brother, even if we reach the seventh-ring Soul Saint realm, life won’t be easy afterward.
Are we supposed to hide away and cultivate?” Yue Guan understood the meaning of “ghosts and demons”.
Their refusal to be recruited by the Spirit Hall might anger the Spirit Hall.
As the Pope and Judgement Elder of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu is responsible for killing any opponent who opposes the Spirit Hall.
Many masters have fallen at his hands.
Although neither of them opposed the Spirit Hall, refusing the Spirit Hall’s invitation was disrespectful to the Spirit Hall.
Yue Guan knew that the Spirit Hall might not let them off easily.
Just like Dugu Bo was hunted down after refusing the Spirit Hall’s offer of recruitment.
Of course, the matter of Dugu Bo is a story for later; it hasn’t happened yet.
“Old Ghost, if we’re both just seventh-ring Soul Saints, we’re indeed not enough.
But what if our seventh soul rings were both at the 100,000-year level?” “What?!
A 100,000-year-old spirit ring?!” The ghostly voice trembled slightly.
He thought he had misheard.
It should be noted that, under normal circumstances, the maximum lifespan of a seventh spirit ring is around 50,000 years.
A 100,000-year soul ring far surpasses this level.
Moreover, how easy is it to find a soul beast that is 100,000 years old?
Even if we find it, whether we can successfully kill it is a big question.
Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, they only know of three powerful individuals with 100,000-year spirit rings: Tang Chen, the founder of the Clear Sky Sect, Qian Daoliu of the Spirit Hall, and Golden Crocodile Douluo.
These three were all top-tier experts, standing at the pinnacle of the continent.
Ghost never dared to dream that he would have a 100,000-year soul ring.
That was a dream that was out of reach.
But now, his good friend Yue Guan is already dreaming about it.
The seventh spirit ring is already 100,000 years old.
How explosive is that?
However, it’s not necessarily a good thing.
When a 100,000-year-old soul beast dies, it will definitely drop its soul bone.
If they are fortunate enough to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring, they must still conceal their strength.
Once exposed, his 100,000-year-old soul bone would be coveted by those top experts, and he would probably die even faster.
“Yue Guan, you’re not kidding, are you?” Do I look like I’m joking?
Yue Guan looks very serious.
A ghostly smile and a shake of the head: “Brother, I admit that your expertise in plants has indeed greatly improved our strength.
But can we really withstand the energy impact of a 100,000-year spirit ring?” “It might not be possible right now, but we don’t need to rush to hunt for spirit rings.
The Narcissus Jade Bone you took and the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum I took both have the effect of strengthening our bodies and can also enhance the power of our martial spirit fusion skill.
We still need to cultivate for a few more months to stabilize the medicinal power that has settled in our bodies and make our bodies more resilient.
We also need to continuously strengthen our mental power.” “But after that, where will we find a 100,000-year-old soul beast?
Even if we do find one, I’m afraid the two of us wouldn’t be able to kill it, would we?” Yue Guan understood the ghost’s worries.
Although their Martial Soul Fusion Skill has a powerful restrictive effect, it also restricts them during its execution.
In the state of Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they are unable to deal damage.
However, to hunt soul beasts, one must personally kill them for the soul ring to be effective.
Therefore, they need to find other people to help them kill the target soul beast.
Yue Guan had already considered these issues.
“There are many soul beasts with a lifespan of 100,000 years in the sea.
We can go to the sea to find them and also find a reliable helper.” “Help?” Ghost scratched his head, wondering who he could turn to.
Yue Guan smiled and said: “Don’t even think about it, I already have someone suitable in mind.” “who?” “Dugu Bo”.
“Dugu Bo?
That Azure Scale Serpent Soul Master?” The ghost was even more puzzled.
“We’ve never even met Dugu Bo, and we don’t know what kind of person he is.
We’ve only heard that his Jade Scale Serpent Venom is very powerful, and that his strength is probably a bit weaker than ours, but he’s still at the level of a six-ring Soul Emperor.
Why did you think of going to find him?” Explanation of the Moon Gate: “If I’m not mistaken, Dugu Bo currently possesses strength approaching that of a seven-ring Soul Saint.
Outsiders don’t understand their family’s martial soul well enough.
The Azure Serpent martial soul grants them powerful toxins, but it’s also deadly to them, as they suffer a backlash from their own toxins.
Dugu Bo should already be showing signs of this backlash, and I can detoxify him.” (End Of Chapter)
