"Well they are rare but they definitely occurred before" Di Tian Spoke. "I have the perfect spirit ring for you."
"You don't mean the Demonic Crow Emperor?" Bi Ji curiously asked.
"Yes, with his existence, in a matter of years his colony might even reach billions, filling the entire underground cave. It's time for him to step down his throne" Di Tian spoked. He actually have no problems with the numbers, but the species, he has. They eat blood to cultivate, so if they reached more numbers by now, they will surely prey on other beasts outside the cave as the cave's weak beasts must be low on numbers by now, except for ten thousand, hundred thousand year beast that can protect themselves.
"But he is preparing to go to godhood. He is already ninehundred ninety thousand years old (990000), with one last tribulation he might even ascend godhood." Zi Ji spoked.
"Well, he will surely die. So why not let him be my disciples first spirit ring?" Di Tian answered. "No beasts has ascended godhood for the last one hundred thousand years. Some say it's heavens will, some say the beasts are not as strong as they are in the past. But one thing is for sure, beasts do have ascended godhood." Di Tian spoked in pride as his bloodline was also one of those who ascended godhood. Hell, his Ancestor is one of the most powerful gods.
Listening to their conversation, Itachi can't help but sweat. From his Aunts teachings, the maximum spirit ring one can have for his first spirit ring is 426 years old. So how can he have a hundred thousand year old spirit ring? Nine times at that. "Master, shouldn't I only get a hundred year old one?"
"In a sense yes, but I'm surely you can manage with me assisting you" Di Tian spoke in a manner of fact.
"Anyways let's go" Di Tian suddenly grabbed Itachi's arm and flew towards the outskirts of the Star Duo Forest.
Sounds of goodbyes rang in the mountain as the Aunts bid them good luck.
His master's answer made Itachi facepalm, but he was also curious about his Masters plan. Surely he has a plan right?
"Master, why are we going outside the Star Duo Forest?" Itachi curiously asked.
"The underground caves entrance in the outskirts of the Star Duo Forest. But this cave is even larger than Star Duo Forest itself. The cave is also connected to caves under oceans so you can see just how large it is" Di Tian slowly explained. Thinking of it at this point, Di Tian can't help but chuckle. He has a disciple of a human. If six years ago, somebody told him he will take a human as a disciple, he will surely kill that someone with a punch. He can also feel he already developed feelings for his disciple over the years, one that he will surely protect him at all costs.
"Wait, I felt someone" Di Tian suddenly stopped in his track. Di Tian immediately spread his aura in a sphere shape that extends for 1 km. 'Come out' He commanded mentally.
Cracks appeared on the ground they were standing as blue light shone upwards. The temperature dropped in the surroundings. Di Tian hovered in the sky with Itachi in his arm as he looked towards the ground. As the cracks stopped shining, a seven meter worm appeared before them. It has golden engravings in it's body with eyes that shone goldish glow.
"Holy father of the beasts, Di Tian! Don't kill meeeeee" A high pitch manly voice rang on their ears. Itachi immediately covered his ears as that shout alone mast have span at least 5 kms.
"Huh? Your the sleeping worm right?" Di Tian curiously asked as he had heard this worm before. This worm slept his way through to become a million year spirit beast. Even he, the strongest spirit beast can't help but praise him.
"This worm will kindly, humbly answer" The shouting worm immediately stopped his words as he saw Di Tian gazed at him in annoyance. "A yes" The worm continued in a whisper.
"What are you doing here?" Di Tian asked.
The pityful worm suddenly errupted in rage. "Those spirit beasts tied me up and wanted to" Feeling Di Tian's gaze the worm continued in a whisper again "absorb my essence."
After a bit more talking, Di Tian finally asked "So what are your plans now?"
"What do you mean Beast God?"
"You have reached a million year old spirit beast but still hasn't ascended godhood. I doubt you could further enhance your cultivation now. I believe you have reached your limits, absorbing more ice essence will just destroy your body."
"Beast God is wise. That's why I made a beautiful plan for this beautiful me" The worm spoke in excitement.
"Continue."
"I will fuse with a human to become the very first intelligent spirit ring. I have tried it before but sadly the human didn't manage the magnificent me. One has to have a mental attribute spirit for it to work."
