As expected, I am still receiving rewards for my various achievements. With my next 100,000-year soul ring, I doubt there would be any additional rewards unless I accomplish something truly extraordinary. More significantly, my title "Child Of Destiny" has increased by one rank, confirming my suspicions that I am gradually replacing Huo Yuhao's position in this world's narrative. I'm genuinely grateful that there isn't a Tang San equivalent in the God realm; otherwise, he wouldn't hesitate to divide his daughter's soul into three parts and send a true gender-bent Tang Wutong to keep me in check—a scenario even more disturbing than Huo Yuhao predicament.
I've discovered another method to earn additional rewards: adding properties to my martial soul. When it initially evolved into the Herrscher's Eye of Truth, it was because it possessed the properties of the Herrscher of Truth. This makes me wonder—what if I incorporated every ultimate element into my martial soul? Could it potentially transform into the Silver Dragon's Eye, or perhaps even the Creator's Eye, similar to the Silver Dragon King or the Creation God Head of the Dragon God?
However, I'm particularly intrigued by another possibility: could I utilize the creation properties of Truth to generate replicas of all other Herrschers by transforming Soul cores into Herrscher cores? For instance, if I were to condense a Space soul-core and convert its properties to imbue it with Herrscher characteristics, transforming it into a Herrscher's Core of Void, I could potentially dominate the entire Soul Land universe with relative ease. Such a feat would likely only become possible after I achieve the status of Titled Douluo, or perhaps even beyond that—possibly requiring level 100+ to fully unlock my Herrscher capabilities.
This realization has altered my plans regarding absorbing the Snow Emperor as my soul ring. Despite her formidable attacks and impressive soul ring age, doing so would occupy a valuable slot that could otherwise be used to attain another ultimate attribute. Beyond Ultimate Ice, I must consider Fire, Thunder, Earth, Wind, Water—though I believe Water may be redundant—Life, Dark, and Light. Excluding my 10th soul ring, I only have space for six soul rings to accommodate corresponding attributes, yet I'm presented with seven elemental options.
I'll likely need to forego either Ultimate Darkness or Ultimate Light, as neither seems as crucial as the other elements in my strategic assessment. Life will provide exceptional healing capabilities; Wind offers unparalleled control; Fire and Thunder deliver the most devastating attack damage; Earth—or more specifically, gravity manipulation—can be utilized to create black holes, continuing Welt Yang's legacy.
Regarding Dark-attribute soul beasts, the only significant ones I'm aware of are the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Di Tian. Targeting Di Tian in the presence of the Silver Dragon King would be suicidal—otherwise, I wouldn't have considered the Earth element, as Di Tian can naturally create black holes. The Evil Tiger, with its multi-elemental nature, represents an essential soul ring acquisition, and I can augment its soul ring age using Tian Meng. Consequently, I'll sacrifice the Ultimate Wind attribute, as I'm not familiar with any particularly powerful wind-attribute soul beasts.
As for the Light element, similar to wind attributes, I don't know of any exceptional soul beasts beyond the gold-attribute creatures that have some connection to light. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion exists, but targeting her would be equivalent to signing my own death warrant. Wait—if I were to perform elemental transfusion with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, I could potentially gain Ultimate Strength, Fire, and Light simultaneously. Given that I seem to be inheriting Huo Yuhao's destiny as the protagonist, encountering the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the near future seems increasingly probable.
The only remaining matter is my bloodline awakening. This location seems ideal for the procedure, as no soul beasts are present in the vicinity due to the lingering fear of the Ice Emperor's aura. I make the decision to awaken my bloodline. Immediately, an intense boiling sensation engulfs my entire body, as though my blood itself is screaming. Fortunately, I can withstand this agony, temporarily numbed to pain from previous experiences, and the surrounding ice helps cool my overheated system. As time passes, I notice profound changes within my body—my heartbeat strengthens significantly, and my blood circulation accelerates to unprecedented levels.
[Bloodline Awakening Complete: Golden Holy Dragon Bloodline(Minor).]
This development leaves me utterly astounded. I had hoped to be fortunate enough to acquire a superior bloodline from a soul beast, which would have allowed me to use my Blank Martial Soul to obtain a beast martial spirit, thereby enhancing my strength. Never did I anticipate receiving the Golden Holy Dragon Bloodline. This is simultaneously advantageous and problematic—it likely means my father hails from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and I am an illegitimate child. Moreover, awakening the Golden Holy Dragon bloodline is typically only possible if my father possesses considerable strength at the Titled Douluo level, as such vitality naturally enhances descendant bloodlines, or if he directly carries the Golden Holy Dragon bloodline—pointing to none other than Yu Xiaogang.
[Blank Martial Soul Used: Awaken second Martial Soul - Mutated Conscious Martial Soul.]
As anticipated, the martial spirit I've received mirrors Yu Xiaogang's. Fortunately, this martial spirit resembles the manhua version of Luo Sanpao—yellow in color with puppy-like features, and also cute just like Pokémon. I cradle her in my arms, sensing an unmistakable air of arrogance emanating from her. I'm certain of the soul beast's gender because she represents an extension of myself.
"This isn't bad at all. From this day forward, I shall call you Lumine—meaning 'Illuminating' in reference to your original element."
Upon hearing her new name, Lumine offers a slight nod and affectionately licks my cheek. I then dismiss her summoning, causing her to vanish. While I could enhance her with soul rings, self-created soul rings would be limited by my endurance, capping at 43,499 years old. Were it not for my absorption of the trunk soul bone, my soul ring age limit wouldn't have increased so dramatically. I must wait until my endurance improves through the absorption of additional soul bones before I can expedite my second martial spirit's development, securing optimal soul ring configurations and abilities while enabling faster evolution through appropriate light-attribute soul rings.
My rationale for using the Blank Martial Soul to obtain a bloodline-derived martial spirit is clear: a Dragon martial spirit will provide the greatest enhancement to my physical capabilities. Even if it initially appears underwhelming, it possesses greater potential than virtually any other martial spirit, potentially reaching the echelon of super martial souls and even surpassing the Seraphim martial soul in power.
The original Luo Sanpao failed to realize its full potential primarily because Yu Xiaogang didn't incorporate suitable light-attribute soul rings, instead opting for thunder-attribute alternatives. Additionally, feeding Luo Sanpao inappropriate sustenance further contaminated its bloodline. As a martial spirit, Luo Sanpao likely absorbs whatever it consumes without possessing an adequate excretion system, resulting in the accumulation of harmful waste within its body.
As Yu Xiaogang himself proclaimed, "There are no useless martial spirits in the world, only useless soul masters." How ironic that I will be the one to definitively prove his theory correct. I should revisit my home village to learn more about my mother once I secure admission to Tianshui Academy.
The Ice Emperor fixes me with an intense stare. "How peculiar—you've suddenly awakened a second martial soul. Despite its apparent weakness, it possesses a remarkably strong bloodline. You harbour more secrets than you reveal. Nevertheless, your martial soul's potential can only be fully realized by acquiring Immortal Treasures or through the sacrifice of a True Dragon's powerful bloodline."
Tian Meng interjects reassuringly, "Don't worry, Bing Bing. I believe sister Qingxue has already devised a solution to her martial soul predicament."
Xiao Wu suddenly materializes, introducing herself with enthusiasm. "Hello, Senior Ice Emperor! I am Xiao Wu, the first soul ring and a 100,000-year-old soft-bone rabbit."
"You may address me as Senior Bing," the Ice Emperor responds coolly. "I should clarify that I'm merely fulfilling our agreement here—don't behave with such unwarranted familiarity." I hadn't realized she possessed such tsundere tendencies, though they complement her appearance surprisingly well.
"Pay no mind to Bing Bing's demeanor—that's simply her nature," Tian Meng explains. "Sister Qingxue, we shall return here in the future to explore a certain spiritual treasure cave. At present, the dangers within make such an expedition inadvisable."
I understand precisely which cave Tian Meng references—the one responsible for his transformation into a 1,000,000-year-old entity, containing treasures comparable to the Life Gold found in the Lake of Life.
"Qingxue, what was that martial spirit you just acquired?" Xiao Wu inquires, visibly intrigued.
I summon Lumine once more. "She possesses the bloodline of the Golden Holy Dragon, though it remains so weak that she currently exists in a mutated state. I've named her Lumine."
"She's absolutely adorable!" As Xiao Wu reaches out to lift her, Lumine responds with a swift headbutt before leaping onto my shoulder. From her elevated position, she directs a subtle sneer toward Xiao Wu.
"This is excessive bullying," Xiao Wu complains with an aggrieved expression. "Both master and martial spirit share the same tendency to bully others." Her comment elicits laughter from everyone present.
"Sorry for Lumine's behaviour, anyway you can rest until I obtain my fourth spirit ring. Since cultivation progress decreases exponentially after reaching level 40 unless I get 4th soul ring, I can only focus on training my mind or refining my sword skills for now."
"That's okay. I was actually planning to mention that very issue to you." With these parting words, Xiao Wu vanishes.
"Tian Meng," I address my companion, "I've reached the peak of the Spiritual Connection Realm. I'll need your assistance to breakthrough this plateau."
"I've been anticipating this moment. Have no concern—I'll discover a suitable method." With this assurance, Tian Meng also disappears.
"That concludes our business, Senior Bing. You may depart as well."
"Hmph! You can't simply dismiss me without providing something to do. I'll grow terribly bored waiting idly in your spiritual sea," she protests.
"In that case, might I request you to develop a technique to help me utilize the scorpion tail more efficiently?"
"Well, that's hardly challenging. Just wait—I'll create a technique that rivals your sword style in effectiveness." Having made this bold declaration, the Ice Emperor also vanishes from sight.
"All that remains is mastering the wing soul bone to fly toward my destination." Thanks to Tian Meng's preliminary operation of the wings before I learned proper take off and control techniques, I managed to perfect my flight capabilities within merely twenty attempts. I didn't crash even once, though it took twenty practice sessions to understand and implement proper control mechanisms, enabling me to operate the wings efficiently even at a subconscious level.
Flying above the sky, the sun has not rose yet, but from horizon I can see Aurora forming with the colour of red, green and blue, over the night sky. Its my first time witnessing this phenomena, and even didn't anticipated that I would encounter it. But somehow, I can feel that those aurora are artificially forming from somewhere on the core of extreme north. Is it possible that its related to inheritance of Ice god? I suppose I can only explore it after I gain Titled Douluo.
