Starting from the young master of Haotian Sect.

Chapter 423 Tianmeng's Dilemma

"You don't need to worship me first. My spirit rings aren't something just anyone can accept. Only the chosen ones, with unwavering spirit and strong will, can succeed."

As always, Tianmeng Bingcan was interrupted by Tang San before she could finish speaking.

Tang San interrupted, "Sorry, I refuse."

"Huh?" The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which had been talking non-stop just moments before, was stunned, as if it had crashed. It had never imagined that a human soul master would refuse!
"You're refusing? I'm a million-year-old soul beast! My soul rings are over a hundred thousand years old! You're refusing?!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was dumbfounded. There was no way she could refuse.

Tang San smiled at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and said in a sinister tone, "Are you stupid? Killing you won't change anything."

Hiss!!! Tianmeng Ice Silkworm broke out in a cold sweat, its hairs standing on end in fright!

"Rabbit, rabbit, how could you be walking with such a devil!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm darted to a distance and hurriedly said.

Tang San said directly, "If you try to trap me again, I'll kill you even if Xiao Wu is here. You may have a million years of cultivation, but you don't have the strength to match that."

Tang San looked at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm with eyes that seemed to see right through it, his gaze sharp as he calmly said, "If I'm not mistaken, your million years of cultivation weren't earned through your own efforts, but through external forces."

“In the cave just now, I found traces of ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow. You must have discovered this place by chance, and then swallowed a large amount of Xuanbing Marrow, constantly relying on its energy to improve your cultivation. However, you also know that you have no chance of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation. Once the energy of the Xuanbing Marrow allows your cultivation to break through to one hundred thousand years, you will face the Heavenly Tribulation. At that time, if you reach one hundred thousand years of cultivation using this method, you will inevitably die a miserable death under the Heavenly Tribulation.”

"So you chose the strangest way. You made your body a container for a million years of cultivation, possessing a million years of cultivation but not increasing your own combat power. Through this special method, you deceived the heavens and the sea, so that even if your cultivation reached a million years, you would not attract a heavenly tribulation."

"You are nothing but a vessel, possessing a million years of cultivation but not a million years of combat power. You know Xiao Wu is a soul beast, and you deliberately mentioned that Xiao Wu is a rabbit just now to test my reaction, to see if I knew in advance that Xiao Wu is a hundred thousand-year soul beast. You are right, I do know that Xiao Wu is a hundred thousand-year soul beast and I have no intention of hunting her, so you have set your sights on me."

Tang San narrowed his eyes and said, "You deliberately guided me here through telepathy, and then judged from Xiao Wu that I wouldn't indiscriminately kill innocent soul beasts, and then you said you would give me a soul ring. Heh, there are no free soul rings in this world, and free things are always the most expensive."

"If you can't convince me or if I find out you're lying, I'll go back and gather all the Title Douluos of the Haotian Sect to surround and kill you. Even if the Snow Empress descends, she won't be able to save you then."

"Oh, you've been hiding like this. If I'm not mistaken, you probably know that if you show up, you'll be hunted down by the Snow Emperor, and that the Snow Emperor is even looking for you. You're a little bug who's been caught in a trap."

With a million years of cultivation but no corresponding combat power, isn't this just a walking piece of fat meat? No hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast would let it go. That's why the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm hides in the space it created to digest the Profound Ice Marrow.

Hearing Tang San's analysis, Xiao Wu realized she had been used by this giant insect. An angry expression appeared on her face. She kicked the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, sending its chubby body flying, and put her hands on her hips, coldly snorting, "You dare to use me to scheme against Third Brother! I'll take you back to the Star Dou Great Forest right now and let the soul beasts drain your energy!"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was startled. It knew there was an extremely terrifying being in the Star Dou Great Forest, and it didn't want to be captured and used as a power bank! "Sister Rabbit, Third Brother, I was just testing whether you have any prejudice against us soul beasts. I have no ill intentions, and I really didn't want to scheme against you. Third Brother, you are invincible, you control the universe, you have a harem of three thousand, and you marry a million celestial beauties." Tianmeng Ice Silkworm started spouting nonsense.

"Alright, stop babbling. I came to the Arctic Continent for spirit rings. Although spirit rings obtained through sacrifice are better, but..." Tang San's eyes flashed with a murderous glint. Spirit beast sacrifice is undoubtedly the most perfect way to obtain spirit rings, but there are limits.

After pondering for a long time, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm finally dared not deceive Tang San, fearing that it would kill it with a Clear Sky Hammer. It sighed and said, "Just as you said, Third Brother, I only have a million years of cultivation because I need to absorb the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. Therefore, I need to sleep all the time. I can only wake up for a while when I break through a major level and use my soul skills to explore the surrounding situation."

"Your battle with the Ice Emperor and the Snow Emperor's sword strike just now affected the entire Arctic continent and even shattered some of space, which is why you woke me up."

Tang San nodded secretly. They had indeed fought too fiercely just now, using spatial attributes, extreme fire, and extreme ice. It was inevitable that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm would be affected and wake it up.

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm continued, "I did not cultivate for a million years on my own. I avoided the Heavenly Tribulation through that special method, so my strength is not strong. Only my spiritual power is considerable. However, I contain the energy of a million years of cultivation within my body, so I have been avoiding the Snow Emperor."

"Avoiding the Snow Emperor? Why are you avoiding it?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said, "Because the higher the level of a soul beast, the more severe the heavenly tribulation it faces. Six hundred thousand years and seven hundred thousand years is a watershed, which is equivalent to your soul master level 98 to 99. This is a super watershed. Level 99 is equivalent to the realm of transcendence. Therefore, the heavenly tribulation of 70 years is comparable to divine punishment. Most soul beasts cannot withstand it on their own."

Tang San instantly understood that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was not only a power bank, but also a lightning rod. As long as one possessed it, one could increase the probability of surviving the Heavenly Tribulation and also improve cultivation speed. For the Snow Empress, who would have to face the Heavenly Tribulation of 700,000 years sooner or later, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was the best lightning rod.

Tang San guessed that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm must have been discovered by the Snow Empress by accident, so it had been hiding, but this was not a long-term solution.

Moreover, it's not just Xue Di; in fact, Tianmeng Bingcan is doomed no matter where it goes.

The Arctic Continent has the Snow Emperor, the Star Dou Great Forest has the Emperor Tian, ​​the sea has the Sea Emperor, and even the Sun and Moon Continent has the Evil Emperor. These four Rooftop Emperor Soul Beasts control all Soul Beast territories; wherever the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm goes, it's a dead end.

As the saying goes, "Possessing a treasure is a crime."

Upon hearing this, even Ning Rongrong understood why the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had lured Tang San here.

If there's no place for a spirit beast in the world, then the human world is the only option.

"You want me, or rather, you want the protection of the Haotian Sect?"
