Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 116 The Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion

When Di Tian and Bi Ji arrived at the edge of the Lake of Life, they also attracted the attention of the two gatekeepers, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

"Splash, splash..."

The enormous bull's head of the Azure Bull Python emerged from the lake, but after being glared at by Di Tian, ​​it immediately sank back into the water, daring not to say or ask anything.

"roar…!"

"Brother, where are you two gentlemen headed?"

After seeing Di Tian and Bi Ji leave the Lake of Life, the Titan Giant Ape patted its chest and asked the Azure Bull Python.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"

The Azure Bull Python's head emerged from the water, glanced in the direction Di Tian had left, and shook its head helplessly. The two of them were merely gatekeepers on the outermost edge of the Lake of Life, and had no right to know about the big boss's affairs.

When Di Tian and the others arrived at the area where Ye Liangchen was, they saw a tall Blue Silver Grass in the distance, following the little guy and helping to pick herbs from time to time, which surprised the two beasts.

"Golden-veined Blue Silver Grass? This is the Blue Silver Emperor! Wasn't it sacrificed more than ten years ago? How did it recover so quickly?"

"This Blue Silver Emperor has recovered to over 40,000 years old and is still with this little guy. Judging from their appearance, they should be very familiar with each other."

"What methods did this little guy use over the past few years to restore a reborn Blue Silver Emperor plant so quickly? Di Tian, ​​this little guy's methods are truly amazing!"

Di Tian and Bi Ji couldn't understand it, so they quickly flew over.

"Xiao Chen, run! Two powerful figures are coming!"

Sensing that two powerful figures were rapidly approaching, the Blue Silver Emperor immediately used his vines to entangle Ye Liangchen and carried him away quickly.

"Swish..."

Di Tian and Bi Ji suddenly appeared in front of the Blue Silver Emperor, blocking its path.

"Xiao Chen, we can't escape now, what should we do?" At this moment, the Blue Silver Emperor was terrified. These two powerful figures were simply too strong.

"Why are you running?" Brigitte asked with a smile as she looked at Ye Liangchen, who was entangled by the branches of the Blue Silver Emperor.

"Wow! Di Tian, ​​Sister Bi Ji, what brings you here? I was just about to look for you!"

"Sister Lan, we're on the same side, please put me down!"

Ye Liangchen was quite surprised to see the second and third leaders of Star Dou Forest arrive. He had been caught off guard by Blue Silver Emperor and thought they were other Title Douluos.

"Blue Silver Emperor, why are you following this little guy?" Di Tian looked coldly at Blue Silver Emperor, fearing that this Blue Silver Grass soul beast might have ulterior motives.

"My lord, Xiao Chen rescued me from a dark and sunless cave some time ago, and then helped me restore my cultivation. So I've come to recognize him as my master..."

Blue Silver Emperor had no choice but to tell the two ferocious beasts some of his own stories, including some things from his previous life.

"Blue Silver Emperor, you were at least a 100,000-year-old soul beast in your previous life. How come you didn't even have a brain after transforming? Now look what you've done. Your 100,000 years of cultivation has become someone else's soul ring." Di Tian looked at the silly Blue Silver Emperor and found it very funny.

"Di Tian, ​​let's not talk about this anymore. She has also paid the price for her impulsiveness."

"Blue Silver Emperor, consider the events of your previous life as a lesson. Now that you have acknowledged Xiao Chen as your master and have received such a great favor from him, then protect him well from now on."

Biji stopped Ditian, thinking to herself that he had already died once, and she was still mocking him.

"Yes, sir."

The Blue Silver Emperor stood beside Ye Liangchen looking aggrieved, not daring to say or ask anything, its branches drooping like a punching bag.

"Di Tian, ​​the Goddess of Life has initiated a divine trial for me. She said she has communicated with the Ancient Tree of Life and needs your help. Have you received the message?"

Ye Liangchen explained his purpose to Di Tian, ​​saying that since they were now in a period of cooperation, there was no need to beat around the bush.

"The Lord has received your message, that's why he sent us to pick you up."

"Xiao Chen, tell us, how did you encounter the two God-Kings? Given the God-King of Destruction's personality, he shouldn't have made a decision so quickly, right?"

"The God of Destruction told me a lot about the current situation in the God Realm. I think Destruction is a god with ideals. He was probably attracted by my saying: 'When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when rich, one should benefit all under heaven.' He thought I was also a young man with ideals. In addition, one of my martial souls is the Goddess of Life, so he decided to pass on the godhood to me together with the Goddess of Life."

"Hmm! When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven. You have a grand vision, kid!"

"Di Tian, ​​as a young man with ideals, you must have a broad vision."

"Xiao Chen, what is the attitude of the two God Kings towards us soul beasts?"

"They haven't made any statement, but I can tell they don't have any ill intentions towards you. I feel that the God of Destruction's goal is to expand the divine realm, but with his current power, he can't do it, so he and the Goddess of Life are placing their hopes on me and have no interest in you at all."

"Xiao Chen, this is just your guess."

"Sister Brigitte, my prediction was very accurate, otherwise he wouldn't have made up his mind with the Goddess of Life so quickly."

"Let's go! Let's go see the Lord first; she's been waiting for you for a long time."

Ye Liangchen chatted with the two ferocious beasts as they made their way to the Lake of Life. Like three old friends, Di Tian and Bi Ji were overjoyed. After hiding for countless millennia, they finally had something to look forward to.

The Blue Silver Emperor shrunk to about 30 centimeters in size and nestled against Ye Liangchen's shoulder. When she heard that the little guy had obtained the inheritance of two God Kings, she almost jumped up with excitement.

"Xiao Chen, your soul disappeared some time ago. Was it to receive the inheritance of the gods?" Lan Yinhuang communicated with Ye Liangchen through soul transmission.

"That's right! Sister Lan."

"Very good."

Blue Silver Emperor felt as if happiness had fallen from the sky and hit her. She never expected that following this young man would lead to godhood. She had made a huge profit, something she never dared to dream of before.

"Splash, splash..."

When the group arrived at the Lake of Life, the Azure Bull Python sensed the presence of humans and curiously extended its massive bull head out of the water, splashing water everywhere.

"What are you looking at?"

Di Tian glared at the Azure Bull Python again and said coldly, which frightened the python so much that it immediately pulled its head back into the lake. The Titan Giant Ape lowered its head by the lake and dared not look at Di Tian.

Ye Liangchen looked at the Titan Giant Ape, which was as big as a small mountain, and saw it looking like a little punching bag in front of Di Tian, ​​and found it a bit funny.

……

When Ye Liangchen arrived at an island at the deepest part of the Lake of Life with Di Tian, ​​he immediately felt refreshed and invigorated. The environment here was so beautiful, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was so abundant. It truly deserves to be called the best treasure land in the Douluo Continent!

"Waaah..."

Just then, a golden-haired spirit beast that looked like a lion and had a vertical eye on its forehead emerged from the forest, swaying its head and stretching its huge head in front of Brigitte. It stared at her with its big eyes and made a whimpering sound, as if it were being affectionate.

This golden-haired spirit beast is very beautiful, with its fur shimmering with golden light and being extremely soft, making one want to pet it.

"Little Jin, where did you go to play today?" Brigitte reached out her delicate hand and stroked the golden lion's soft, long mane, her eyes filled with affection.

"Sister Brigitte, what's the story behind this golden retriever?"

Looking at the golden lion dog, Ye Liangchen wondered, could it be the imperial auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?

The Blue Silver Emperor was terrified and immediately burrowed into Ye Liangchen's clothes. The suppression from its bloodline made it tremble uncontrollably.

"Golden Retriever?"

"Xiao Chen, this is an Imperial Auspicious Beast, equivalent to the chosen one of our soul beasts..."

When Biji heard Ye Liangchen refer to the auspicious beast as "golden-haired," she was both amused and exasperated. She then explained with a smile the status of the Emperor Auspicious Beast among the soul beasts.

"So that's how it is. A mythical beast born of nature. In that case, it's similar to the Snow Woman of the far north."

In Ye Liangchen's view, the imperial auspicious beasts of the Star Dou Forest are actually similar in species to the Snow Emperor. They are both creatures born of nature, which is truly amazing. Legend has it that the Dragon God is also a creature born of nature.

"Kid, you even know about the Snow Emperor?" Di Tian tilted his head and looked at Ye Liangchen.

"Sister Na told me." Ye Liangchen spread his hands, pushing everything onto Gu Yuena.

The three-eyed golden lion opened its big golden eyes and looked at Ye Liangchen curiously. It sensed a life force in this human cub, which was very similar to the aura of the ancient tree grandfather.

"Waaah..."

The three-eyed golden lion made a growling sound and walked directly towards Ye Liangchen. Its three-meter-long and two-meter-tall body startled Ye Liangchen.

"Swish..."

"Di Tian, ​​it wouldn't be trying to eat me, would it?"

Ye Liangchen instantly used the Five Elements Bewildering Steps to avoid the enormous head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, fearing that the beast would swallow him whole.

"Waaah..."

The three-eyed golden lion missed its target, turned its head to look at Ye Liangchen, and showed a human-like expression. It even stomped its foot, like an angry little girl.

At this moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion thought: I just wanted to sense your aura, why are you running away?

"Xiao Chen, the auspicious beast must have sensed the aura of your Goddess of Life Martial Soul. It has no ill intentions towards you."

"The auspicious beast has only been cultivated for about 5000 years, but it is extremely intelligent. Right now, its intelligence is about the same as that of a seven or eight-year-old human child."

"Waaah..."

Di Tian and Bi Ji explained to Ye Liangchen, while the Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded beside them, making a whimpering sound and showing a human-like expression on its face, expressing goodwill to Ye Liangchen.

"Oh, I see! I thought it was going to eat me!"

Ye Liangchen knew that this auspicious beast was now the true little tyrant of the Star Dou Forest. It often went out to capture some soul beasts as food. Wherever it went, other soul beasts would flee in terror, fearing that they would be eaten by this little ancestor.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, a mythical beast, is extremely powerful. Although it is only a few thousand years old, many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are no match for it and dare not attack it. Soul beasts that are captured by it can only be eaten.

"Waaah..."

The three-eyed golden lion walked over to Ye Liangchen, swaying its head, and nuzzled his hand with its head in welcome.

Looking at the gentle golden retriever, Ye Liangchen couldn't help but stroke the auspicious beast's soft fur. The silky feel was like petting a gentle big cat, which was very pleasant.

"Little Chen, the auspicious beast is welcoming you!"

Biji watched the auspicious beast enjoying itself with a smile, finding it quite amusing.

"It's a pity you can't talk yet, otherwise it would be fun."

Looking at the docile three-eyed golden lion, Ye Liangchen felt it was similar to the golden retriever he had raised in his previous life. In the original story, ten thousand years later, this auspicious beast was tricked by Tang Buddha, who stuffed half of his daughter's soul into the beast's soul and forcibly sewn them together, causing it to fall in love with Huo Gua. As a result, it ultimately sacrificed itself to Huo Gua, meeting a very tragic end.

"The auspicious beast is only a few thousand years old. Although it has developed intelligence, it is still too early for it to speak. It is estimated that it will be able to speak when it reaches ten thousand years of cultivation."

Looking at this auspicious imperial beast, Di Tian felt like a father looking at his daughter.

"What...is your name? How...did you get...here?"

Just then, several loli voices rang in Ye Liangchen's mind, intermittent and not very coherent.

"Who's calling me?"

Ye Liangchen looked around but didn't see anyone else, while Di Tian and Bi Ji exchanged bewildered glances.

"Xiao Chen, what did you hear?" Bi Ji asked curiously.

"I heard someone communicating with me telepathically, it was a girl's voice, broken and not very coherent. She asked me what my name was and why I was here?"

Upon hearing Ye Liangchen's words, Di Tian and Bi Ji immediately turned their gazes to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. At this moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was staring intently at Ye Liangchen, occasionally winking at him, which was quite amusing.

"Little Jin, you can actually transmit your thoughts through your soul?" Bi Ji reached out and excitedly ruffled the head of the three-eyed golden lion.

"Bridget... Sister, I only... I know a little bit."

A soft, sweet voice echoed in Brigitte's mind.

"Xiao Jin, that's great!"

Brigitte reached out and hugged the enormous head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, feeling as if it were her own daughter growing up.

"Di Tian, ​​bring Xiao Chen down."

"Buzzing..."

Just then, the Silver Dragon King's ethereal voice rang out, and a portal appeared in front of Ye Liangchen.
