Elder Xuan looked at Elder Mu with excitement. Compared to the existence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he valued the strange golden-haired lion that Xian Lin'er had mentioned at the end even more.
"Elder Mu, that golden lion should be an imperial auspicious beast. Moreover, according to Lin'er's description, it seems that little Yu Tianhuang has completed the attribute transfer with it. This is an incredible opportunity!"
"A time of great contention," Elder Mu murmured softly, his conviction growing stronger. At this moment, he was absolutely certain that Yu Tianhuang was the chosen one of this era.
The so-called era of great contention refers to a time when many exceptionally talented geniuses emerge, leading to turmoil on the continent. The chosen one, born in this era, will rise above all others and reshape the continent's格局 (geju, a concept encompassing overall situation, character, and destiny).
He felt incredibly fortunate that Yu Tianhuang came from one of the three great empires of the Douluo Continent. If he had come from the Sun Moon Empire, perhaps…
"It seems the records in the ancient books are indeed profound. We must accelerate the training of this child. Lin'er, based on this extreme test, you and Duoduo should draft the subsequent training plan for them. Once this child finishes deep meditation, we will officially begin the implementation of the extreme individual soldier plan. Everyone, disperse. Also, keep today's meeting content top secret."
Chapter 226 The Miscalculated God-King and the Formless
In the Shrek Academy dormitory building, Wang Dong sat on his bed, lost in thought.
His eyes gleamed with golden light. For some reason, he had a strange feeling, as if something of his had been taken away. But in the next moment, that taken-away thing seemed to return to his body. This went on dozens of times, and the originally faint feeling gradually became more profound.
He sat blankly on the bed for almost half an hour.
A soft halo and mist surround this ethereal space. Yet, within this space, there is an unusually captivating sense of reality. Faintly, in the distance, a majestic palace seems to sit atop it. Touched by this soft halo, it feels both illusory and real.
A tall, slender figure stood before the palace amidst the clouds and mist, frowning as he gazed into the endless distance, lost in thought.
He had long, flowing, azure hair that cascaded down to his feet. His magnificent blue robe seemed to ripple with the color of the ocean. If you looked closely, your gaze would be unconsciously drawn to that deep blue, and your very soul would be sucked into that endless azure.
He had a handsome face that looked no more than twenty years old, with a pair of deep eyes.
However, his seemingly otherworldly and ethereal demeanor was ruined by the hint of anger and coldness deep in his eyes.
Meanwhile, in another palace within this illusory space, two figures sat facing each other.
The two wore robes of brilliant gold and silver, with strange patterns engraved on them that seemed to contain the ultimate truths of heaven and earth. The golden and silver halos constantly merged and separated, enveloping their bodies and making them difficult to see clearly.
The silver-robed man's eyes opened and closed as if piercing through endless void. He chuckled softly, "I never thought that the Sea God Tang San, who is always so shrewd in his calculations, would have a day when he miscalculates. Well, the Golden Dragon Spear that was formed from the Golden Dragon King's rib never belonged to him in the first place. This time, it can be considered that it has been returned to its rightful owner."
Seeing that the man in the golden robe opposite him remained silent, the man in the silver robe shook his head helplessly.
"Countless years have passed, and you are still just as boring."
"He separated his own daughter's soul for his own selfish desires. He is unworthy of his position." The man in the golden robe finally responded.
The man in the silver robe asked curiously, "If that's the case, why did you refuse to see the God of Destruction when he came looking for you last time?"
Unfortunately, his question was destined to go unanswered, and he was well aware of this, so he changed the subject.
"How confident were you about what you told me that time? After all, you've set your sights on him, and your divine sense has landed on more than five first-level gods on the Douluo Continent. Otherwise, given Tang San's personality, he probably would have already made a move against him."
"Perfect." The man in the golden robe replied succinctly.
"Moreover, the number of first-level gods in the divine realm will not decrease after this."
The golden-robed man's last words stirred a ripple in the silver-robed man's heart, which had been dormant for many years, and he sighed softly.
"It seems you've seen into the distant future."
……
In front of the Sea God Pavilion at Shrek Academy, Xu Zihuang sat cross-legged, motionless, with faint golden soul power flashing around him from time to time. Especially on the center of his forehead, golden and silver light merged together, and a strange scale appeared.
This scale is also gold and silver in color, and its strange shape is like a combination of a rhombus scale and a hexagonal scale, forming an irregular and angular octagon. The gold and silver on the outside form strange patterns. It has a special and indescribable sense of mystery, and it is also surrounded by a dazzling nine-colored light.
This extraordinary scene startled Elder Mu and Elder Xuan, who had just finished their meeting and were still inside the Sea God Pavilion. As the two left the Sea God Pavilion and moved away from the area where the Golden Tree was, they instantly felt a fear originating from their bloodline and martial spirit.
However, given their cultivation levels, they shouldn't be too significantly affected.
Following Elder Mu's instructions, Zhang Lexuan, who was guarding Xu Zihuang's side, stood up and respectfully bowed to the two of them.
"Elder Mu, Elder Xuan."
"Le Xuan, you should go too." Old Mu nodded with a smile, and Zhang Le Xuan naturally followed his instructions and left.
After examining the soul power fluctuations on Xu Zihuang's body, Elder Mu's gaze finally settled on the strange scales on his forehead that emitted a nine-colored halo. This was the source of both his and Elder Xuan's fear.
"Elder Mu, what about this aura?" Elder Xuan asked with surprise and uncertainty.
Since he awakened the mutated Martial Soul, the Gluttonous Divine Ox, when he was young, and has cultivated to the current level of 98 Super Douluo, he has never felt like this before.
Taotie was one of the nine sons of the Dragon God.
Although his martial soul is called the Gluttonous Divine Ox, it does indeed possess the purest dragon bloodline, making it one of the top martial souls among those inherited in the contemporary soul master world.
Even Elder Mu's Holy Dragon Martial Soul is at most on par with his.
However, there was a feeling of being suppressed under that nine-colored halo.
"The bloodlines of the pure Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon seem to have undergone some kind of sublimation when they merged together. These changes should be related to his previous attribute connection with that Imperial Beast. If I'm not mistaken, that Imperial Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, itself possesses the bloodline of the Golden Dragon. And the silver-scaled external soul bone that Tianhuang originally possessed was taken from a soul beast with pure Silver Dragon bloodline." Elder Mu explained, sighing with satisfaction in his eyes.
"This child is truly blessed by heaven."
"Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon?" Elder Xuan raised an eyebrow. With his knowledge, he was certainly familiar with the legends of the Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon.
Among the dragons, those who inherited the bloodlines of the Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon are the fewest, and they are also known as the dragons with the purest and most powerful bloodlines.
The golden dragon controls power, while the silver dragon controls the elemental laws.
Elder Mu's Holy Light Dragon is merely a branch of the Silver Dragon, a dragon race that controls the power of light.
Yu Tianhuang may not be able to possess the full power of the Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon, but even possessing only a portion of their abilities will benefit him for life.
The most obvious benefit is that all Soul Masters with Dragon-type Martial Souls will be suppressed to a certain extent in front of Yu Tianhuang.
There are also incomplete records of information about the Dragon God in ancient books.
Upon thinking of this, Elder Xuan almost blurted it out.
"Could it be that the fusion of the golden and silver dragon bloodlines has given him the aura of a dragon god?"
Elder Mu's gaze deepened, but he did not answer Elder Xuan's question.
At that moment, a faint purple-gold light spread outward from Xu Zihuang's body. As the purple light swept across, all the plants around the Sea God Pavilion swayed as if they had been touched.
Elder Mu and Elder Xuan also keenly sensed this.
"A spiritual level that has form but no substance," Elder Xuan muttered to himself unconsciously.
Reaching the level of tangible yet intangible spiritual power at Yu Tianhuang's age is absolutely astonishing, but unfortunately, Yu Tianhuang's talent is too amazing. During his year and a half at Shrek Academy, he has repeatedly refreshed his understanding. Coupled with the shock he received from the Golden Dragon and Silver Dragon bloodlines, he doesn't have much of a reaction now.
In other words, they've become numb.
Elder Xuan was right. After completing the attribute transfer with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Xu Zihuang's spiritual power officially entered the realm of tangible yet intangible. This means that in the future, he can use his spiritual power to envelop his soul power during cultivation, so that his cultivation speed will no longer be affected by the ultimate attribute.
However, his ultimate soul power foundation still exists, and both the quality and density of his soul power far surpass those of other soul masters of the same level.
In addition, the golden dragon bloodline he obtained from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was gradually transforming his body. The resilience of his meridians, the density of his bones and muscles, and his overall physical qualities and strength were all rapidly improving.
Aside from lacking the Golden Dragon Martial Soul, he would possess all the advantages of a Golden Dragon Martial Soul owner. However, this transformation process would require some time. After all, the Golden Dragon bloodline wasn't something he inherently possessed.
Xu Zihuang was well aware of the changes in his physical body and mental strength, and he was carefully sensing these changes.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm within Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea remained conscious, but unfortunately, with two top experts of the era, Elder Mu and Elder Xuan, present, it couldn't take the initiative to communicate with Xu Zihuang, lest it expose itself.
It simply unlocked the seal on his spiritual origin, allowing Xu Zihuang to gradually integrate these powers.
If you had to describe Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in one word, it would be "winning without lifting a finger." It wins so easily, it's practically invincible.
While unlocking its own spiritual essence, it also released some of its most primal power to help Xu Zihuang solidify its foundation once again. That was the most primal power it had acquired over millions of years of cultivation.
The Beast God Di Tian originally wanted this power the most, but because the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was too valuable, and this source power could not be obtained without its willingness, Di Tian decided to settle for second best and join forces with other ferocious beasts to absorb the soul power energy that Heavenly Dream had cultivated for many years.
Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm only separated a trace of its most fundamental power, that was only because Xu Zihuang at this stage could only fuse with these fundamental powers.
Having merged with this most primal power, it had no way out. If Xu Zihuang could become a god, it could gain immortality along with him. If Xu Zihuang failed, it would perish along with him.
It's fair to say that it really went all out.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm may seem confused and clueless at times, but its inner world is incredibly insightful. It embodies the saying "great wisdom appears as foolishness." After more than a year of interaction, it has witnessed Xu Zihuang's most authentic self.
Xu Zihuang finds it difficult to trust someone, but if he can move someone and gain their trust, the only way is to treat them with sincerity. In some ways, Elder Mu's approach was correct.
However, the differing stances and pursuits of both sides inevitably led to some conflict. And it was precisely this that truly shared Xu Zihuang's fate, rising and falling together.
However, what prompted him to make this decision was that he saw boundless hope in Xu Zihuang.
My host has the potential to become a god!
When Xu Zihuang awoke from his cultivation, it was already the morning of the next day.
The rising sun was slowly dispersing from the east, slightly clearing the thick fog surrounding the Sea God Pavilion. Xu Zihuang's gaze narrowed slightly; he could clearly see countless golden specks of light gently drifting in the air.
The whole world became colorful.
He felt an indescribable sense of clarity and comfort throughout his body. The power he felt and the insights he gained from deep meditation made him take a step forward and slowly throw a punch.
As he made his move, a faint golden light suddenly shone from Xu Zihuang's body. The speed of his punch increased from slow to fast, eventually even producing a sonic boom in the air, and the golden fist transformed into a golden afterimage.
With a punch, golden light condensed and did not dissipate in the direction in front of him, as if a huge golden vortex had appeared.
This scene is the result of the fusion of spiritual power and soul power.
Old Mu, who had somehow appeared behind Xu Zihuang, showed a helpless expression for the first time.
While the fusion of spiritual power and soul power in Yu Tianhuang's punch was not yet perfect, it already possessed an excellent prototype.
Perhaps his self-created system of ruling the world has found the most suitable successor.
However, Yu Tianhuang's talent is simply too astonishing. Even if he had met Yu Tianhuang when he was young, he probably would have felt a sense of defeat.
Having snapped out of his reverie, Xu Zihuang seemed to realize something and quickly turned around to respectfully bow to Elder Mu.
"Elder Mu."
"No need for formalities here." Elder Mu smiled slightly, raised his right hand, and gently supported Xu Zihuang's body with his soul power.
"Tell me what you've learned from this deep meditation."
Xu Zihuang did not hide anything and told Elder Mu about all the changes that had occurred after he and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion completed the attribute transfer.
Just as he had said before, Elder Mu would not press Xu Zihuang about things he was unwilling to bring up.
Old Mu closed his eyes and nodded slightly. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was filled with more solemnity and sincerity.
"Since you were able to complete the attribute transfer with the Imperial Beast, it means that fate has chosen you. My child, I will not restrict your future or freedom, but I hope that you can contribute your strength to the stability and harmony of the continent."
"Elder Mu, I will." Xu Zihuang nodded with unwavering determination, his eyes revealing an emotion that seemed utterly genuine.
Because this is his truest thought: only by unifying the Douluo Continent can the continent truly be considered stable and harmonious.
