Chapter 25 - Chapter 25 - Absorbing Soul Rings

A group of eight people walked in the dense forest. From time to time, some soul beasts with a little intelligence ignored the pressure from the great elders and rushed in front of everyone.

Xu Mingxi was under the protection of the elders. While walking, he thought about his future.

According to his original idea, his goal was to cover the three lights of the sun, moon and stars, and this Moon Holding Flower was the soul beast Xu Mingxi chose to enhance the moon attribute on his star crown.

This soul beast is famous for its shape resembling the full moon and its ability to store moonlight and use it to attack.

Regarding the sunlight, Xu Mingxi decided to place it on the seventh soul ring, a soul ring position of great importance to soul masters.

"Mingxi, pay attention, we're approaching the core area, we have to be careful."

The second elder's reminder woke Xu Mingxi up. He didn't dare to be disturbed anymore and looked around him vigilantly.

There were constant rustling sounds among the forest, and Xu Mingxi always felt like something was spying on him.

Suddenly a small group of soul beasts rushed out of the forest.

"That is the Thousand-tier Ant King. Everyone must be careful."

Many ants can kill an elephant. The great elder flew high into the sky to detect the direction of the Thousand-Tier Ant King.

The rest of the people lit their star crowns one after another, and the fourth soul ring lit up at the same time, and the star armor protected everyone strongly.

Dugu Xin was horrified to discover that there was a Titled Douluo in the team, and the others were all Soul Douluo.

He began to be shocked by the mighty power of the Star Crown Sect, but at the same time he was happy because it seemed that he had found a strong supporter.

Before long, the Great Elder caught wind of the Thousand Tien Ant King's directive and instantly used his ninth soul ability, the Great Wild Shooting Star.

A black soul ring emerged from its place, and the Thousand Jun Ants surrounding Xu Mingxi gradually retreated.

"What a pity about this black soul ring. It looks like it's about 11,000 years old, which is quite appropriate for it to be the fifth soul ring."

"Alright, Grandpa, let's check and see if there are any soul bones in there, then we can continue on our way."

Xu Mingxi and the others weren't hopeful at first, but as they were about to leave, they heard Grandpa's surprised cheers.

Could it be true? Was the Thousand-Jun Ant clan's fall rate so high?

"Mingxi, this is a ten thousand year old right leg bone. I'm giving it to you."

"Grandpa, just give it to someone in the sect who needs it more."

This soul bone might be able to help an elder stuck at a dead end to break through.

And to be honest, Xu Mingxi was a little dismissive of it. Not only were his attributes incompatible, but his year was also too young.

Dugu Xin standing beside her was almost drooling at the sight, but she herself knew that it couldn't possibly be hers, so she forced herself to avert her eyes.

"Alright, then I'll keep it first and return it to the sect leader later."

The great elder had spoken, and no one dared to argue. The group of eight headed back toward the Moon Lake. This time they didn't encounter any obstacles and arrived safely in the vicinity of Moon Lake.

Although it was called a lake, Xu Mingxi couldn't see where the other side of the river was. The water here was crystal clear, like a mirror, which could clearly reflect Xu Mingxi's handsome face.

"Let's set up camp here today, and start searching along Moon Lake tomorrow. We must find the Moon Grabbing Flower."

The two elders went out to stand guard, and the entire populace fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Mingxi originally wanted to sleep, but as soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to feel something in the Moon Lake that attracted him. When he opened his eyes, he didn't seem to feel anything.

He spent the night in a daze. The next day, Xu Mingxi, with dark circles under his eyes, was scolded by his grandfather. Didn't he know that he needed to store his energy in the wild and stay up late?

Everyone packed up their tents and started exploring along the lake.

The lake had always been a place where soul beings drank water, and soul beings came here from time to time.   

Xu Mingxi and company chased the beasts away while moving forward along the lake.

Unfortunately, after walking all day, they only found a Moon Devouring Flower that was about 5,000 years old. It was too young for Xu Mingxi to accept.

I wanted to use the same trick again and utilize the moonlight to attract the Moon Flower to appear.

But after thinking about it, Xu Mingxi gave up. It would be fun to use the moon essence to attract plant soul beings and create a king of monsters.

I could only use the foolish method of walking slowly along the lake and observing the surroundings as I walked.

Finally, when they were about to go around the lake, everyone finally saw the trail of the Moon Flower.

This was because it was night and the moonflower seemed to absorb the moonlight, making the area it shone on glitter.

The Great Elder stepped forward to look, then immediately stepped back with a grim expression on his face.

"It is indeed the Moon Gripping Flower, but it seems to be fourteen thousand years old.

According to the sect's investigation and research, the fifth soul ring is basically between ten thousand to twelve thousand years old.

Absorbing this Moon-grabbing Flower soul ring will risk your body exploding."

Before Xu Mingxi could say anything, the fourth elder next to him spoke. In his heart, he didn't want Xu Mingxi to risk his life to absorb this soul ring.

"Yes, and in my experience, absorbing ten thousand year old spirit beast spirit rings seems to have a certain impact on the soul, so we shouldn't act rashly."

Xu Mingxi was surprised to find that his sect knew things.

"Grandpa, elders, I think I can absorb it.

Plant beast soul rings are soft by nature, and I have a good match with the Moon Grabbing Flower. Furthermore, I've been receiving the sect's medicinal baths since I was a child, and I've never stopped exercising. I can definitely endure it."

The Great Elder wanted to say something else, but when he saw the determined look in Xu Mingxi's eyes, he said no more.

Since the grandfather had agreed to it, there was naturally no reason for anyone else to object. The second elder and the two controlling elders each used the Star Attraction Technique to instantly freeze Lan Yuehua.

Immediately afterward, two stars fell from the sky and seriously injured him.

Dugu Xin who was watching from the side was dumbfounded. It turned out that soul hunting was so simple and crude.

Then what was the point of all the hard work and bloody battles I did back then? If you want to make a living in this world, you still need background and influence.

Xu Mingxi took out a dagger and struck directly at the root of the Moon Gazing Flower. Seeing that no soul ring was produced, he attacked again several times.

This time I finally saw a black soul ring appear.

Xu Mingxi seized the opportunity, sat cross-legged on the ground and began to draw the soul ring. The elders gathered around him to protect him, and Dugu Xin tactfully stood at the outer edge.

As the days passed, Xu Mingxi felt immense pain for the first time.

His body seemed to be under tremendous pressure, and Xu Mingxi's soul was also shocked.

Fortunately, Xu Mingxi had taken medicinal baths since he was a child. Although his physical strength wasn't high, he was tough.

I originally thought that a soul that had lived two lives as a human was already considered strong, but I didn't expect the impact of Lan Yuehua's remaining soul to be so powerful.

It's just that I just stabbed you a few times, why are you holding a grudge against me? Xu Mingxi gritted his teeth and held on tightly to the traction soul ring.

The surrounding elders all watched nervously, but the chief elder seemed to have discovered something and suddenly turned his head to look deep into the forest.

"Everyone, pay attention."
