Douluo Simulator: I, Huo Yuhao, am cultivating immortality

Chapter 163 Conditions for Promoting Souls

"I'm full, I'm full, Yuhao, what did you want to say just now?"

Xuan Ziwen held her waist and held her big belly, slumped on the sofa with a look of happiness and pain on her face.

After taking the first bite of the glowing food, the originally tired spirit disappeared without a trace along with the warm current flowing into the body.

He even felt that his slowly improving cultivation suddenly trembled.

Looking at the Snow Girls at the table who had already eaten up the soup base but were still not satisfied, Xuan Ziwen was filled with envy. After all, humans have their limits when it comes to eating, with the exception of Huo Yuhao.

"Yuhao, what's going on? How come your cooking skills have improved so much all of a sudden?" Xuan Ziwen asked.

“I don’t know the specific situation, maybe it is related to the emperor’s auspicious beast.” Huo Yuhao blamed the situation on the three-eyed golden lion without changing his expression.

"Ah?" Xuan Ziwen looked confused. Are we talking about the same question? How did it end up with the Emperor's Auspicious Beast? Huo Yuhao didn't waste any words. He pulled Gu Yuena, who was still unsatisfied, over and told her the planned speech.

Listening to Huo Yuhao's magical experience, Xuan Ziwen's expression quickly changed from indifference at the beginning, to surprise, to fear, and to shock.

[No! It's only been one day, why did you do this to me again! ]

"Yuhao, don't you feel uncomfortable if you don't do something big every now and then?" Xuan Ziwen pressed his twitching chest and said with gritted teeth.

He ran to the Star Dou Great Forest to look for spirit rings without even telling him. If something happened, not only would Dean Jing Hongchen and teacher Kong Deming not let him go, he himself would not forgive himself. In his eyes, Huo Yuhao was the future of spirit guide technology.

When Xuan Ziwen thought about how Huo Yuhao almost died in the Star Dou Great Forest, his eyes went dark and he almost fainted.

“Teacher, calm down!” Huo Yuhao saw that the other party was in a bad mood, and quickly sent a touch of cold air to force Xuan Ziwen to calm down before speaking:
"No one would have thought that we would encounter the Emperor Beast on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Fortunately, thanks to Xue'er's connections, I asked a senior to guarantee it. It can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"Indeed." Xuan Ziwen nodded after calming down. Being escorted by Douluo-level masters with ultimate attributes is a treatment that even some of the emperor's children cannot enjoy.

It can only be said that the incident happened suddenly. Although Huo Yuhao was greedy for merit and acted recklessly in order to connect with the attributes, it is difficult for anyone to remain calm when facing a legendary existence like the Emperor's auspicious beast.

However, what surprised Xuan Ziwen was, what was the connection between the attribute of the Emperor's auspicious beast, guidance, and cooking glow? Could it be that in addition to being a spiritual type, the other party also had a hidden attribute of a foodie?
But soon he stopped thinking about the details. Curious, Zi Mu and Ke Ke surrounded Huo Yuhao to see what the soul looked like.

Seeing Huo Yuhao releasing the simulated black soul ring, everyone was stunned at first, but then they felt it was natural. Huo Yuhao's strong body had long been no secret in the academy. Let alone a ten thousand year black soul ring, even if it was a hundred thousand year red soul ring, they had enough reasons to convince themselves that this was as it should be.

What surprised them was that with the appearance of the soul ring, a figure appeared in the air.

The golden light reflected on the girl's silky twin ponytails, emitting a soft luster.

Her eyes were clear and transparent, as if inlaid with deep blue gems, sparkling with a cunning and smart light.

She was wearing a simple white dress, and her skin was as white and translucent as cream, as if milk would flow out if she was gently pinched. However, upon closer inspection, golden lines were faintly visible on her skin, adding a touch of mystery to her.

The girl was wearing a pair of opaque black stockings, and her clear eyes revealed an innocent cuteness.

"Hello, I am Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, you can call me Tianmeng." Tianmeng showed an innocent smile.

"Hello."

Zimu and Keke waved to Tianmeng with red faces. Although Xuan Ziwen's face was calm, his eyes lit up.

The sudden appearance of the blonde beauty added a different color to the aesthetic tastes of the three people who were bombarded by the beauty of the white-haired snow girls.

But to be honest, they still felt that the silver-haired girl next to them was more beautiful.

That was even when the silver-haired beauties had maxed out their resistance and were still able to make them mentally paralyzed.

"Ahem, Yuhao, are the souls you're talking about all in the form of Sister Tianmeng?" Keke asked seriously with a red face. As soon as the words fell, Zimu and Xuan Ziwen also looked at Huo Yuhao expectantly. The former was thinking about the beautiful girl/man card draw like Keke, while the latter focused on Tianmeng's human form.

Huo Yuhao had explained before that the soul is an independent existence that is connected to the soul master's mind. Doesn't this mean that for a soul master, having a soul is equivalent to having an extra brain and a pair of arms? Wouldn't it be much easier to make soul guides?
Huo Yuhao shook his head and said, “Sister Tianmeng’s situation is rather special. Although she is only a ten-thousand-year soul beast, her mental power is stronger than some hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, so she can transform into a human form after becoming a soul spirit. Ordinary soul spirits are in their original form.”

"Oh." Keke and Zimu looked disappointed.

"However, as another kind of life form, souls also have the ability to progress. It is not impossible for them to grow into human form, but it may take several or even dozens of generations of care."

Zi Mu and Ke Ke, who had rekindled their hope, were stabbed in the back by the cruel reality again.

"Having the ability to evolve is a good thing for some great nobles," Xuan Ziwen said.

For those nobles who have stood firm, inheritance is not a difficult thing. Compared with ordinary gold and silver treasures, souls are more worthy of investment.

"But things shouldn't be that simple. Otherwise, the strong will become stronger, which will only make the situation of the soul beast clan worse." Xuan Ziwen changed the subject, looked at Gu Yuena, and said:

"Since you have decided to cooperate with us humans to promote souls, what are the conditions?"

Gu Yuena didn't waste any words and said directly: "First, our soul beasts' cooperation partners are not just your Sun Moon Empire, but also include the Sky Soul Empire, the Douling Empire and the Xingluo Empire. We will cooperate with them all."

“That makes sense.”

Their purpose is to ease the conflict between humans and soul beasts, not to be warmongers. They are also trying to warn them that soul beasts are the dominant party, and even if Sun and Moon don't want to cooperate, there are still many who do.

Xuan Ziwen knew without even thinking that the top management of Sun Moon would agree to this condition.

"Second, the ownership of a soul master's soul after his death shall be jointly discussed by our organization's Spirit Transfer Tower, the soul, and the owner. Other forces shall not interfere."

"What do you mean?" Xuan Ziwen was a little confused. It was not that he felt that the condition was too overbearing, but he did not understand why the other party proposed such a controversial condition.

If a person gets a soul and becomes accustomed to it, and the two sides unite, wouldn't the Spirit Pagoda be at a disadvantage? Even if the soul remains neutral, or even leans towards the Spirit Pagoda, the arguments, big and small, will definitely make people physically and mentally exhausted.

Why did the other party offer such unfavorable conditions to me?
As if seeing Xuan Ziwen's confusion, Gu Yuena explained, "Once the soul completes the connection, it cannot go back on its word. A few decades is fine, but the inheritance from generation to generation may change the soul's mindset and make it no longer willing to repeat it."

"That's when the conditions come into effect. Whether the soul stays or leaves will be decided by the soul and its owner together, isolated from other forces."

“Teacher Xuan, the life of the soul is maintained in the soul master. Once the soul master dies, the soul will also be destroyed. If you want the soul to be passed on, you can only wait until the soul master dies and go to the Soul Tower to be stripped away,” Huo Yuhao said.

"I understand."

To put it bluntly, this condition is the bottom line that the other party retains because they do not want to turn their compatriots into tools without the power to choose.

After understanding the reason, Xuan Ziwen also understood why the other party was not afraid of being at a disadvantage.

Isn't this aimed at those nobles who want to make long-term investments? Once the soul decides to leave, dozens of generations of investment will be wasted, and not everyone can bear that.

"Third, we will provide you with an opportunity to come into contact with high-level soul beasts, and the Sun-Moon Empire needs to provide soul guidance teaching. The location is set here, Mingxue City." Gu Yuena said.

Xuan Ziwen was puzzled. Since when did soul beasts become so enterprising and progressive? Why did they all start to learn soul guides one by one?
Then he looked at Huo Yuhao with a scrutinizing expression, as if asking, "What on earth did you tell them?"

Huo Yuhao said indifferently to Xuan Ziwen's scrutiny: "Teacher Xuan, don't you think about what else our Sun Moon Empire can bring out besides soul guides?"

"..That makes sense. I'm speechless."
