Chapter 109 Rejection of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion
His lips twitched slightly.
Di Tian could sense that absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul beast might have been difficult before, but absorbing the little monkey and snake that guarded the gate was now quite easy, and their power was not weak.
Most importantly, it seems like we've hit another bottleneck, what the heck?
You're six years old, not sixty!
Whose genius has reached the Soul Emperor level at this age?!
Di Tian was somewhat taken aback. Humans were indeed a species favored by heaven and earth, able to catch up with the cultivation of ordinary soul beasts that took tens or even hundreds of thousands of years in just a few decades.
"Why don't you slow down your cultivation progress? Cultivating too quickly all at once might not be good for your future."
Di Tian forced a smile.
Although they didn't really care about the death of the Emperor Thorn Porcupine, they still felt a sense of shared sorrow. If they suddenly needed a high-level soul beast to absorb, he wouldn't be so easy to persuade them.
"That's true. There's still some medicinal power left in my body that hasn't been fully absorbed. Besides, I've taken too much in a short period of time, and the toxicity of the medicine is even affecting the speed of my soul power circulation."
Xie Mo stroked his chin and nodded.
He does have a way to remove the accumulated drug poison from his body, but it will still take time. He can't afford to ruin his own foundation for the Silver Dragon King; that's not worth it.
Moreover, to be honest, most of his soul power so far comes from what he eats, and not much comes from cultivation. Since his soul power is accumulating anyway, acquiring a soul ring later won't really have much of an impact on him.
"I'll be seven soon, let's see if I can reach Soul Saint before my birthday."
Xie Mo happily imagined the bright future ahead.
Upon hearing this, the soul beasts who knew a little about soul masters cursed inwardly, for he had consumed their treasures.
"How about we let you absorb another soul ring? This time, we'll find you a 90,000-year one."
Di Tian suddenly changed the subject, proposing to let Xie Mo absorb a soul ring.
After Xie Mo said that, he realized the situation. What did Xie Mo's damage to his physical foundation have to do with them? On the contrary, the higher Xie Mo's soul power level was, the faster their master would wake up.
"Let's forget about it. Having another type of power always requires more time to get used to, so there's no need to rush."
Xie Mo, however, remained true to himself, realizing that there was no need to rush if safety was guaranteed.
Di Tian ignored him and went to check on the Silver Dragon King's condition in his spatial dimension.
Seeing that there was no excitement to watch, the idle soul beasts either returned to their territories to patrol or lay down to sleep, which was basically how they had always been.
Don't be fooled by the "group party" they had before; that was because the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm attracted so many soul beasts that they had no choice but to make the rules, which made it rare for them to cultivate on their own initiative.
Normally, they would just stay in their respective territories, lie down and sleep, and grow naturally. Or they would find some soul beasts to eat when they were hungry, or they would look for rare and precious materials that could help them break through quickly.
Xie Mo grabbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, wanting to learn from it. He had died under mysterious circumstances, wondering how the other party had discovered the whereabouts of the Blazing Flame Essence.
"Then could you talk to the Lord and ask him to return it to me sooner? It's not of much use to her."
The three-eyed golden lion blinked its golden-red eyes at Xie Mo, its little face showing an innocent expression.
"Hiss~"
Xie Mo gasped, feeling a sharp pain in his teeth.
"Is it possible that that thing originally belonged to me?"
"But I really want it; it would be very beneficial for me."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion couldn't help but act coquettishly towards Xie Mo. It always acted this way in the Star Dou Great Forest. No soul beast dared to resist it when hunting, and the beasts would try their best to satisfy its other requests.
Xie Mo stroked the soft, long fur of the three-eyed golden lion, the golden hairs weaving through his fingers, sending a faint warmth through him.
Seeing that Xie Mo did not reply, the three-eyed golden lion, which had always been good at acting cute, chuckled. It wanted to show the majesty of an imperial auspicious beast, but then it remembered that Di Tian valued the other party highly, and that if it could kill that soul beast, it could also kill this one.
Therefore, it readily decided to change its approach.
"How about you transform into your previous form so I can get closer to you more often?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion proposed a new method. It didn't really have much hope of getting back the Flame Essence, but attaching the Hope Armor would also be an option.
"What good would doing this do me?"
Xie Mo smiled and asked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in return. Actually, he had a rather good impression of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which was more of a pitiful arrogance.
After all, in a sense, in the original story, it and Wang Dong'er eventually merged into Tang Wutong, and it didn't even have a chance to be resurrected, so it died in vain.
But despite his goodwill, he was still essentially a prisoner. Even if he couldn't get anything out of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, he had to make the Three-Eyed Golden Lion remember his kindness to Xie Mo—it didn't take much effort anyway.
"benefit--"
The three-eyed golden lion muttered something, its little face scrunched up. It was the first time it had ever encountered someone talking to it like this.
"It's actually very simple. Just like you carry the fortune of the soul beast race, you could even say you're bound to the Star Dou Great Forest, which benefits all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. Therefore, they are willing to protect you. It's a mutually beneficial thing."
"But what about me? I could benefit you, but I'm human. The fate of the Soul Beast race has no effect on me. What can you offer in return?"
Upon hearing Xie Mo's explanation, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly understood why no other spirit beasts had asked it about this matter, and why it had been adopted and protected by spirit beasts like Di Tian right after its birth. It turned out that it had already been given its fortune.
"I have no idea."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly became somewhat depressed, unsure whether it was because it couldn't offer anything or because of something else.
Lying listlessly on the ground, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was lost in thought, while Xie Mo chose to lean against it.
Sunshine, grass, warm fur, and leisurely time—Xie Mo was enjoying this rare moment of comfort, knowing he would soon have to go back to "work."
A rustling sound kept ringing in my ears, the sound of something crushing grass, along with heavy breathing.
Xie Mo couldn't help but open his eyes, only to find two enormous creatures standing before him.
A bull-headed snake and a dark-skinned gorilla—these were none other than the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape.
"What do you two want from me?"
Xie Mo looked at the two beasts with surprise, guessing what was going on. He straightened his body slightly and asked in confusion.
The Titan Ape was just panting heavily, its mountain-like body rising and falling with each breath.
The Azure Bull Python respectfully glanced at the auspicious beast behind Xie Mo, its massive head slowly lowering.
Have you ever heard of a person named Xiao Wu?
With the support of the Lord and Emperor Tian, and considering the strength Xie Mo had previously displayed, the Azure Bull Python dared not underestimate Xie Mo. His younger brother, Er Ming, had already been warned by him before they arrived.
Before I knew it, it was morning! *sobs*
