Chapter 8 Okay, I'll go with you.
"Brilliant!" Leng Qingning praised, "The Imperial Beast is a born emperor, unique in heaven and earth. The level of fortune of the Illusionary Sea Spirit Kun cannot even reach that level."
She continued, "In fact, the first person to realize that the soul beasts' fortune was collapsing was Di Tian. He tried to cultivate the Golden Tortoiseshell Clan, piling up their fortune through sheer numbers, hoping that quantitative change would lead to qualitative change, thereby stabilizing the soul beasts' fortune."
"This will take time." An Lan did not deny Di Tian's move.
If the golden tortoiseshell is to have an effect on the luck of a soul beast, it needs to cultivate to the level of at least 100,000 years.
Even with Di Tian's dedicated training, it cannot be achieved overnight.
Moreover, from his perspective, Di Tian was simply reaping what he sowed.
The golden tortoiseshell that was sacrificed to Xu Sanshi had a cultivation of 100,000 years.
According to it, their race is destined to become 100,000-year-old soul beasts, but no one in the race has ever broken through the 200,000-year bottleneck.
Whether the golden hawksbill turtle can break through to 200,000 years is another matter. Logically speaking, their race should never lack 100,000-year-old beast kings, so Di Tian doesn't need to start cultivating them from scratch.
Not to mention the golden hawksbill turtles' superior status and lack of natural enemies, their innate invincible shield skill is something that ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts simply cannot do anything to.
All of this meant that, at the crucial moment, the Star Dou Great Forest couldn't produce a sufficient number of golden hawksbill turtles.
—All of this can only mean that those ferocious beasts were having a wild time.
A mythical beast of the 100,000-year level possesses abundant blood and energy, making it a great tonic for a ferocious beast nearing its end. It devours one without uttering a sound.
In this way, the most reasonable explanation for why their race cannot break through the 200,000-year bottleneck becomes clear.
A majestic auspicious beast shouldn't be subject to such constraints. The real reason is that their kind are livestock raised by ferocious beasts, only their time before being ready for market is a bit long.
The fact that Xiong Jun readily devours 100,000-year-old soul beasts shows that Di Tian and his group of ferocious beasts have never taken the lives of 100,000-year-old soul beasts seriously.
Only after reaching the age of 200,000 and joining the ranks of ferocious beasts can one be seated at the table in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The reason why the Golden Hawksbill Turtle Clan cannot break through 200,000 years is naturally because these ferocious beasts do not want the Golden Hawksbill Turtle to be on the table.
"Yes," Leng Qingning said, "Di Tian indeed doesn't have the time to cultivate enough golden tortoiseshells to bear the fortune of soul beasts."
She changed the subject and continued, "But the tower master of the Spirit Pagoda at that time, after understanding the mysteries of destiny, keenly turned his attention to the ocean."
"You have a keen eye," An Lan exclaimed sincerely.
On land, besides the imperial auspicious beasts, there are also auspicious beast groups like the golden hawksbill turtle; and the ocean occupies 70% of the area of Douluo Star, vast and boundless, so there is really no reason why it cannot give birth to its own auspicious beasts.
"In short, the Spirit Pagoda later obtained the unique auspicious beast spirit, the Illusionary Sea Spirit Kun. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that just one year later, the four-word battle armor technology was broken through, completely suppressing the spirit beast race."
As she spoke, a chilling aura settled on Leng Qingning's face, as sharp as an ice blade.
Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!
The hatred between humans and soul beasts is endless, and Leng Qingning is no kind person.
Upon hearing this, An Lan's expression immediately became intriguing. He had never imagined that the emergence of the four-word battle armor would conceal such a secret.
If it's not a coincidence, this Illusionary Sea Spirit Kun, as the auspicious beast that holds the last bit of fortune for the Soul Beast race, while its fortune may not be as great as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, it's not something that the likes of the Golden Tortoise Shell can compete with.
The major events between humans and soul beasts have long since been settled. The remaining soul beasts are few and far between, barely surviving in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, unable to cause any significant trouble.
Thinking of this, Leng Qingning's expression softened, and she said gently to An Lan, "As the unique auspicious beast spirit of the Spirit Pagoda, the most basic ability of the Illusionary Sea Spirit Kun is to be fearless of the bloodline pressure of any creature."
"She possesses the three attributes of extreme ice, extreme water, and space, as well as the spiritual attribute you desire. She also has a talent similar to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's [Eye of Destiny]—[Boundless], which allows her to instantly enter the void and become immune to all damage for one second."
Upon hearing this, An Lan's eyes lit up instantly.
Seeing her disciple's excited expression, Leng Qingning decided to reveal everything she knew: "Besides that, as an auspicious beast born in the sea, the Illusionary Sea Spirit Kun also has an ability similar to the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which can construct a shield in the water that ignores the pressure of the deep sea, allowing people to dive into the abyss."
"Teacher, this is it." An Lan immediately made her decision, her gaze burning as she fixed on the still unconscious Han Hai Ling Kun in mid-air.
"Alright, I'll establish a mental connection between you first." Leng Qingning said no more, and with a gentle wave of her jade hand, she awakened the Illusionary Sea Spirit Kun.
In fact, she did not know beforehand that the Illusionary Sea Spirit Kun was in a coma. However, this auspicious beast was extremely intelligent, and it would not be good if it were awake when she introduced it to An Lan, so she did not wake it up immediately.
The Phantom Sea Spirit Kun slowly opened its eyes. They were eyes larger than An Lan's head, clear as deep-sea sapphires, with a noble gold color deep within the pupils.
The moment his eyes opened, a gentle, ethereal spiritual energy, devoid of any hostility, emanated from all around.
Sensing the powerful spiritual energy of the Illusionary Sea Spirit Kun, An Lan was increasingly satisfied and immediately channeled a wisp of spiritual energy to approach the Illusionary Sea Spirit Kun.
He was curious, wondering what it felt like to have a mental connection.
With a slight lightness between his brows and a moment of clarity in his mind, the mental connection was successfully established.
A comfortable warmth flowed through An Lan's body via the spiritual connection, and An Lan's body involuntarily relaxed.
The spirit of the Illusionary Sea Kun is very pure, without any violent energy, unlike that of a soul beast.
"Hello, Phantom Sea Spirit Kun."
Hello, human.
The ethereal voice of the Phantom Sea Spirit Kun resounded in An Lan's heart, sounding very spiritual.
In an instant, An Lan understood the millennia-old spiritual essence her teacher had spoken of.
"Would you be willing to become my soul?"
"I don't want to."
An Lan got straight to the point, and Huan Hai Ling Kun refused just as decisively.
It tilted its head, looking curiously at the little thing on the ground.
It knew this was a human cub, but this person was different from the previous ones; they smelled very sweet, which attracted it.
However, this is not a reason for her to go with him; at the very least... she should refuse.
An Lan was already prepared for the idea of an indomitable spirit, and continued, "Won't you reconsider?"
The next second, Huanhai Lingkun swallowed hard, blinked its clear eyes, and instantly changed its mind: "Okay, I'll go with you."
It's not that the auspicious beast is disappointing, it's just that it smells so good!
Huan Hai Ling Kun groaned inwardly, thinking that since he had already refused once, agreeing now wouldn't be too beneath him.
"Um?"
An Lan's prepared words of persuasion suddenly caught in her throat, leaving her momentarily stunned: "What did you say? Say it again."
