Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 239: What is behind the Soul Master System?
"Congeal!"

Following Alex's order, the originally vague and uncertain ring completely shrank and solidified, transforming into a crystal white soul ring that floated beside Huo Yuhao.

At the same time, the spiritual power emanating from the soul ring poured into Huo Yuhao's eyes, washing over Huo Yuhao's martial soul and gradually merging with it.

Alex watched this scene silently, carefully feeling the difference between artificial spirit rings and spirit rings produced by spirit beasts in breaking through and advancing to the next level as a spirit master.

The soul ring made with the spiritual essence of the giant insect is indeed not as good as the ordinary soul beast soul ring in bringing all-round improvement. However, because Tianmeng's spiritual essence is too pure, the improvement it brings to Huo Yuhao's mental power is far beyond that of ordinary soul beast soul rings.

From the current perspective, the natural condensation of soul beast spirit rings is really strange. In a short period of time, the energy of the soul beast's entire body condenses into a soul ring that can just break the shackles of the soul master's cultivation. It also carries the abilities that the soul beast originally possessed. This cultivation system really seems a bit deliberate.

The benefits are obvious. Soul masters only need to cultivate their soul power, and their combat effectiveness is completely made up by soul rings. They only need to continuously enrich the number of soul skills, that is, the number of soul beasts, and raise soul beasts. The abilities that soul beasts have studied for their entire lives can be passed on to the soul masters.

The downside is that it cultivates a large group of giant babies who have the level of cultivation but are unable to control their own abilities.

Alex was silently thinking about this strange world in his mind, and suddenly he thought of the world consciousness, that is, the existence of the Lord of the Plane.

In the world where Alex originally lived, there was no world consciousness. Even if he became a god and merged into the world, he had no thoughts of his own and could hardly interfere with the development of the world.

Although monks can also practice, the entire practice system is developed bit by bit through exploration and summary by generations of monks.

Speaking of exploration, Alex thought of the existence of soul guides.

Perhaps cultivating giant babies was not the original intention of the world consciousness, otherwise the existence of soul guides would be unreasonable. Perhaps soul guides were the result of the world consciousness sensing that its soul masters were stuck in a stalemate, so it introduced soul guides as a variable to break the deadlock.

In other words, the original purpose of the soul master system was just to create a large number of soul masters with a sufficient level?
Why is this? Who set up such a system and for what reason?

"Boom——"

Suddenly a loud thunder exploded in the valley, interrupting Alex's guess.

The Ice Bear King, who was lying quietly on the side, suddenly shouted angrily: "Who is there! Get out!"

The fierce sound waves directly knocked down the trees hundreds of meters ahead.

It seemed that they had not expected that this outsider had reached such a state of mind. For a moment, the whole air was silent.

The Ice Bear King did not rush out because he had to protect the fragile Conferred God Platform in his hands. Instead, he released his terrifying aura to intimidate any who were waiting.

After a while, a disembodied voice began to echo in the dense forest, layer upon layer, making it impossible to guess the location of the speaker:

"Sir, why did you dare to trespass into my territory?"

As the king of the Arctic Ice Bear Clan, Xiaobai naturally understood the rules for soul beasts over 100,000 years old. He snorted coldly and said, "I am just passing by here and will leave in a few days."

As if trying to determine whether Xiao Bai's words were true or not, the powerful soul beast clan member who was hiding somewhere took a long while before continuing, "I hope so."

Then, the pressure covering the entire valley slowly dissipated, as if the visitor had already left. Only then did the Ice Bear King slowly dissipate the soul power barrier that protected the surroundings.

A emerald green figure then slowly emerged, it was the Ice Emperor who had transformed into a human form.

“I didn’t expect that there are still ferocious beasts in this gathering place.”

Bingdi looked towards the depths of the Jingyang Mountains with some solemnity.

Although Xiaobai is not afraid of any opponent, if a battle at the level of a ferocious beast really takes place, Huo Yuhao's small body may not be able to withstand even the aftermath.

Xiao Bai said with some disdain: "He is just a guy who hides his head and shows his tail."

It was obvious that the guy just now was attracted by the pressure released by Xiaobai when he drove away the wolves.

The Snow Queen’s cold voice sounded: “I didn’t pay much attention to it when I heard Huo Yuhao introduce that the Jingyang Mountain Range was the number one gathering place for soul beasts in the Sun Moon Empire and the fifth in the continent. I didn’t expect that there was actually a ferocious beast there.”

A white figure suddenly appeared. It was Tian Meng. The blonde little girl Tian Meng asked in confusion, "It's the number one gathering place for soul beasts in the Sun Moon Empire. It's not normal to have only one beast here. You know, the Evil Eye Forest with an Evil Eye Tyrant is ranked second."

Bingdi curled his lips and said somewhat displeasedly: "Humans rank soul beast gathering places not according to the strength of the top soul beasts, but according to their value. The Evil Eye Forest is basically occupied by the Evil Eye Clan. Other soul beasts can only survive in the cracks, so their value to humans is naturally low."

“Speaking of which, Tianmeng, Huo Yuhao is at the stage of breakthrough after all. I will let it go, after all, Huo Yuhao is not obtaining the spirit ring of the second martial spirit. But why don’t you keep an eye on Huo Yuhao’s spiritual sea at this time?”

Tian Meng said helplessly: "Are you blind? Don't you see that Huo Yuhao's condition has stabilized and has begun to enter the consolidation stage? Besides, it's not a normal absorption of spirit rings. There is not even a soul vibration stage. There is not much use for me to stay in the sea of ​​spirit."

"You are blind!"

The Ice Emperor pretended to catch Tian Meng, but the current Ice Emperor's transformation was based on his martial soul. The Ice Emperor, who was only level 40, could not catch up with Tian Meng, who used his shedding to transform himself.

Seeing the two people quarreling, the sealed Snow Emperor couldn't help but hold his forehead: "Okay, Bing'er, and Tianmeng, you two should stop making trouble. There is someone practicing here. It would be bad if he gets possessed."

Hearing this, Bingdi glared at Tianmeng fiercely and reluctantly returned to Xiaobai.

"By the way, Xue Di, have you really thought it through?"

Bingdi suddenly turned the topic to Xuedi.

The Ice Emperor has always found it difficult to accept that the Snow Emperor wants to transform into a human form in order to have a chance to become a god.

They have been together for so many years, but on the road to becoming gods, the two Ice and Snow Emperors have to go their separate ways.

"There is no turning back."

The snow-white mist in the Conferred God Platform swayed slightly, and the voice of the Snow Queen sounded again: "Senior Alex is not sure that he can completely repair my origin, and can only barely help me adjust the disorder of the laws in this body. Transforming into a human form and letting the repaired origin serve as my martial soul is the best result for me."

Bingdi said anxiously: "If it really doesn't work, then give up all your cultivation and only keep your soul..."

It is obvious that Bingdi still wants to pull Xuedi into this express train to become a god.

"Okay, Bing'er, things have come to a head now, so stop hesitating."

The voice of the Snow Queen sounded again, no longer as cold as before, but with a hint of gentleness: "Also, my original plan was to transform and try to break the rule that soul beasts cannot become gods, but there were some... twists and turns in the process."

"Xue Di... Hey, Xue Di, have you decided where to go next?"

After a soul beast transforms, it needs to be exposed to "human popularity", which requires it to have long-term contact with humans and integrate into human society.

Unfortunately, Shrek Academy is not safe. There is a guy watching it all the time. It will be troublesome if Snow Emperor is noticed. The Sun and Moon side close to Shrek is also unreliable. According to Huo Yuhao, it is the nest of evil soul masters on the Sun and Moon side. With the talent of Snow Emperor after her transformation, it is even more unsafe to walk here.

"As for me..." Xue Di paused, as if thinking about what to do next. "I plan to travel around the human territory and see how humans have developed over the years. Eventually, I will return to the north to find a suitable place to live permanently. After all, the cold weather is more suitable for ice-attribute soul masters to practice." Bing Di lowered his head and said nothing.

I could have easily gotten over the hundreds or thousands of years of separation, but now I feel extremely sad when I think we will only be separated for a few years.

"Hmm~"

Huo Yuhao, who had been sitting for a long time, stood up slowly and stretched comfortably.

"Hmm? Why does the atmosphere feel weird?"

Huo Yuhao turned his head and saw that they had all come out, with all their eyes focused on him.

After greeting everyone one by one, Huo Yuhao looked at the little loli Tian Meng curiously.

I didn't expect that the comic version image I recommended before was finally adopted by Tianmeng. This look is indeed more pleasing to the eye than the ice silkworm form, but...

"Sister Tianmeng, tell me the truth, how many remains have you hidden?"

Tian Meng affirmed: "If you are talking about the remains that appeared in the Far North, which were transformed from my original body... Of course they are gone. Do you think the Ice Emperor is so easy to tie up?"

"uh-huh?"

The Snow Queen in the Conferred God Platform suddenly snorted.

Why hadn't she heard Bing'er talk about this? It seemed like these guys were hiding something from her.

"Cough cough."

Tian Meng scratched his head awkwardly, coughed and continued, "The relic I'm using now, judging by the energy intensity, should have been replaced when I was promoted 900,000 years ago. I was sleeping and woke up a million years later, and I didn't notice it until I was captured by those guys in the Star Dou Great Forest. When I was sorting out the energy in my body, I found that the relic I had left after each breakthrough was instinctively retained in my body."

"But it is a relic after all, a worn-out body that was replaced during the transformation. Its energy is not very high, far inferior to the previous body that carried a million years of cultivation. But it has the advantage of being of the same origin as me, and I can control it at will. It is a trump card I left for myself. In case you need help, I won't just stand by and watch, right?"

Huo Yuhao was surprised and asked, “The Ice Silkworm Clan also has a metamorphosis process? Do they also make cocoons? I haven’t seen you, Tianmeng, spit out silk… is it condensed ice silk?”

Tian Meng snapped his fingers and said, "That's right."

“Then…” Huo Yuhao looked at Tian Meng strangely. “Shouldn’t silkworm soul beasts transform into butterflies? Why are you…”

Or a silkworm?

"that……"

Tian Meng naturally understood what Huo Yuhao meant. He was stunned for a while before saying, "The complete form of our Ice Silkworm Group is the Ice Silkworm. Those silkworms that are about to transform into butterflies are only in the larval stage."

"Oh, don't listen to what this guy says,"

The Ice Emperor suddenly snorted coldly: "The climate in the Far North is harsh, with constant cold winds, which is not suitable for flying soul beasts to survive. Of course, this also means that those who can fly freely in the Far North are not easy to deal with."

"As for the Ice Silkworms, they are such a weak race that they are lucky to be alive. They have barely developed in the Far North by relying on simulation. How could they dare to fly into the sky and become a living target? Gradually, the Ice Silkworms gave up the route of turning into butterflies and completely became reptiles."

"Bingdi, you!" Tian Meng was so anxious that he jumped up and down. How could he expose someone's secrets like that?

"What about me?" Bingdi just crossed his arms, and his cold aura made Tianmeng speechless.

I see……

Looking at Tian Meng who dared to be angry but not to speak, Huo Yuhao finally understood why Tian Meng was an ice silkworm instead of an ice butterfly or something like that.

Simulating soul skills is quite difficult when simulating complex situations. For example, when only simulating the images and soul power fluctuations, Huo Yuhao can do it without any pressure. But when it comes to masking, that is, confining the smell and preventing it from spreading, Huo Yuhao has to spend a lot of energy and even worries about being discovered by the Silver Moon Wolf King.

The wind and snow in the Far North might be more similar to the wind blade that Nana had shot out with the Wind Spirit Sword before. At that time, it also directly broke Huo Yuhao's stealth method. After all, where a wind blade suddenly disappeared, Huo Yuhao's real body was right there, and he was exposed at once.

Huo Yuhao found it funny when he thought of the scene where the Ice Silkworm Clan finally transformed into butterflies and flew stealthily in the sky, but were discovered by predators due to the flaws in the cold wind and were forced to die.

"Enough of the chit-chat time. Let's deal with the little girl's issue first."

Before Huo Yuhao could even smile, his pupils suddenly turned gray.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, Huo Yuhao said speechlessly: "Okay, everyone can run away, but I am left alone in the sea of ​​spirit, right?"

Fortunately, it is Huo Yuhao's body after all. Although Electrolux has topped the account, Huo Yuhao can still feel what is happening in the outside world.

Wait... this should be my body now, right?
Thinking about the occasional loss of control of his emotions when he first came here, which has now disappeared for several years, Huo Yuhao fell into deep thought.

"Mr. Yi, won't you take a rest for a while?"

Hearing that "Electrolux" was going to attack twice in a row, Tianmeng and others were a little worried.

Electrolux waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'm not that fragile yet."

"Then I'll trouble you, senior."

Xiaobai turned back into human form and respectfully handed the Conferred God Platform in his hand to "Electros".

………………

Time passed bit by bit, and under the intervention of Alex, the misty white fog in the Conferred God Platform gradually gathered together, and a human figure faintly emerged in it.

"Snow Emperor!" Two exclamations rang out at the same time when they saw the almost transparent figure.

"Calm down, both of you, and don't disturb Mr. Yi."

Tian Meng quickly stood in front of Ice Emperor and Ice Bear King to prevent them from doing anything extreme.

Under the nervous gaze of the Ice Emperor and the Ice Bear King, the fog in the Conferred God Platform gradually disappeared, and was replaced by a white light cocoon, in which a curled up human figure could be vaguely seen.

"Finally done."

Alex checked again and confirmed that the energy belonging to the Snow Queen had basically been regained, then he slowly opened the Conferred God Platform.
