Chapter 30: Abduction of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Loyalty of the Fierce Beasts š¦š„
(From a first-person perspective)
Wowā¦ this is incredible! I didn't expect this result, even though I had used only about 80% of my spiritual energy.
Still, I think the reason is the influence of the life force I used.
Now I can truly understand why Wood Release is considered the strongest in the world of Naruto.
Hashirama used his Wood Release abilities to build the village of Konohaā¦ truly amazing.
Alright, it's time to move to the Star Dou Forest and obtain the beautiful lion and the Gold of Life.
I must leave the Sunset Forest before Da Ming and Er Ming arriveā¦ the seal has been broken by my actions, and I'm sure they're on their way now after their conversation with Tang San.
So, it's better for me to leave quickly.
Without hesitation, I used the spiritual tools I possessed and set off toward the Star Dou Forest
It didn't take long before I reached the forest entrance.
Still, I didn't think about the dangers lurking there, and I headed straight into the outer area.
And so, I continued searching for three consecutive days, yet despite everything, I couldn't find anything related to what I was looking for.
Alrightā¦ it seems I need to venture deeper into the central area, where the Lake of Life lies.
Upon reaching the outskirts of the central zone, I used Mental Detection.
At that moment, the Spiritual Beast appeared before meā¦ covered in dazzling golden fur that caught the eye, shimmering as if it were made of sunlight itself. Its body was semi-transparent, giving it a mysterious aura that set it apart from others.
Its build resembled that of a lion, yet its claws were far from ordinary; they took the form of dragon talons, glowing with golden flames that danced ferociously. Its mouth was slightly longer than a typical lion's, and beneath the gleaming fur lay delicate golden scales, enhancing its majesty and strength.
But what inspired the most awe and reverence was its forehead, split vertically, where a third eye rested. Its primary eyes were golden like burning embers, while the vertical third eye radiated a captivating red glow, breathtaking and mesmerizing anyone who dared to look upon it.
I had finally found itā¦
I approached it directly upon my arrival. It didn't flee nor show hostility, but stood firm, its eyes staring at me with clear astonishment.
Yet, I didn't even give it a chance to fully comprehend the situationā¦ I leapt at it and cast it directly into the Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting.
I had come here to capture it, not for hospitality or guests.
The moment it disappeared, the area trembledā¦ in fact, an ugly tree began to move, and the roar of a massive bear echoed.
Yet, I paid no attentionā¦ without hesitation, I used one of the Loyalty Cards and bound them to me: Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, and the Scarlet King, including the Golden Tortoise.
All the powerful Spiritual Beasts I knewā¦ I used the card on them. Now, I had only eight Loyalty Cards left.
At that moment, Yao Ling transformed into his human form, and simultaneously, Di Tian, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, the Scarlet King, and the Bear Lordā¦ all of them knelt and lowered their heads before me, saying in unison:
"Greetings, Master."
After a moment of thought, I summoned Wu Feng out of the Miles Rivers and Mountains Painting.
At that moment, Wu Feng looked at me, then at the others.
Wu Feng spoke to me: "Who are they?"
I replied, "They are volunteersā¦ they offered themselves to become Spiritual Rings. Don't worry, they won't harm you."
Then I directed my words to Zi Ji: "Alright, Zi Ji, you will sacrifice for her and give her everything, including your origin."
Zi Ji responded confidently, "Yes, Master."
Then I spoke to Wu Feng: "This is your lucky dayā¦ Zi Ji possesses a dragon lineage higher than your spiritual lineage, the Red Dragonā¦ so I believe your spirit will evolve. Prepare to merge with it."
Then I turned to Di Tian and said, "I want all the treasures you possess, including the Gold of Life."
Di Tian replied confidently, "Yes, Master."
After Di Tian departed, I turned to the rest of them and said, "Alrightā¦ I will send you to a place that will accelerate your training."
Then I summoned the Temporal Demon Spirit Book and placed them inside it.
The maximum number the book can hold is only ten people.
I told them, "This is the Infinite Space-Timeā¦ you will find here millions of incredible techniques.
And this place holds another ability: the Seal of Time!
Simply put, ten years here equal roughly an hour outsideā¦ so theoretically, you can study everything that exists here."
I added firmly, "Begin your training! Do your best to reach a million years."
After finishing my words, I left them and exited the Infinite Space-Time.
Once outside, I found Di Tian waiting for me. I took all the treasures he had brought, then sent Di Tian into the Infinite Space-Time.
After that, I used the Flying Thunder Technique to return to Shrek Academy, Xiao Xiao, and Wang Dong'er.
I need to solve their problem as quickly as possible, before Tang San or Da Ming and Er Ming discover me and sabotage my work.
After returning to Shrek Academy, I entered the Infinite Space-Time to clear my mind and build my upcoming plans.
Given my current situation, along with the techniques and skills I inherited from the worlds of Naruto and One Piece, as recorded in the Temporal Demon Book, I realized that I could become the strongest in the Douluo universe and live a life of luxury. I would obtain everything, even if I didn't wish to ascend to the Douluo Realm; I could live for decades in the human world, gaining everything I desireāwomen, wealth, treasures, lands, or even the foundation of a lineage.
But what do I truly want? Why would I ever leave this universe? Is there a reason worth giving up the things I can achieve in the Douluo world?
My journey through the Sunset Forest and Star Dou Forest, and all the events I experienced, made me realize that I already possess all the elements to become an absolute being in the Douluo universe. I ask myself: am I truly ready to leave all of this behind just to become the ultimate being in this universe?
