Chapter 64: The 100,000-Year Seventh Soul Ring
Di Tian nodded, giving an affirmative answer.
"This has been confirmed by Lord Silver Dragon King himself. You need not doubt. After you sacrifice to him, I will have him cultivate one of your kin. Once they reach your level, they will become the new clan leader."
"Thank you, Lord Di Tian, and thank you, human friend."
With Di Tian's words, the White Deer's eyes showed a trace of gratitude, and it turned its gaze towards Ning Bei.
From the conversation between the two beasts, Ning Bei understood their plan. The deer-type soul beast would offer itself as a sacrifice to him, and in return, he would help cultivate one of its kin to become the new leader of their clan.
Moreover, through the fact that this deer-type soul beast could speak, Ning Bei judged that it had reached the 100,000-year level.
Seeing Ning Bei's realization, Di Tian spoke up to explain.
"Her name is Asu, a 100,000-year cultivation Pure Heart White Deer. Some time ago, she failed to survive her tribulation and is about to perish. She can be sacrificed to you. However, you need to help cultivate the next generation of her clan. Is that acceptable?"
Ning Bei nodded. This was too good an opportunity to pass up!
"No problem, Lord Di Tian, and Senior Asu. I will fulfill your request, rest assured."
Di Tian and the Pure Heart White Deer exchanged glances, and Di Tian spoke again.
"Then let's not delay. Let's begin, Asu."
"Yes, Lord Di Tian."
The White Deer then looked at Ning Bei. "Human friend, summon your martial soul. By the way, what part of the soul bone would you like? My Pure Heart White Deer clan has the ability to purify worldly filth and refine bloodlines. The soul bone you receive will likely carry these abilities."
Ning Bei thought about the White Deer's words. Purification and refinement? There seems to be a lot of potential there! Could it be that the many soul masters in our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have been suffering from bloodline degeneration? If I purify them, could it work?
His mind was running wild, but he didn't forget the current situation. He glanced at the massive deer in front of him.
"Senior Asu, I'll take the right arm bone. Thank you. Rest assured, I'll help cultivate your kin. I believe Lord Di Tian has already told you about my abilities."
Asu, hearing Ning Bei's promise, nodded in approval.
"I trust you. Come, child!"
Ning Bei, upon hearing her words, summoned the Dan Tower, sat cross-legged on the ground, and faced Asu.
At this moment, he felt a surge of excitement. A 100,000-year soul ring—only Tang Dacha and Bibi Dong had such rings. Even his two Title Douluo didn't possess one. Compared to the little brat who had stubbornly clung to getting closer to Da Ming and Er Ming, Ning Bei had reached the 60th level with far more potential. The overwhelming presence of a 100,000-year soul beast coming to offer itself to him was a sign of his growing power.
Asu saw that Ning Bei was ready, and she closed her eyes. After a moment of stillness, a brilliant red light began to shine from her body. A voice echoed in Ning Bei's mind.
"Child, absorb the soul power with all your might. I will handle the rest."
"Yes, thank you, Senior."
Ning Bei followed the instructions and began absorbing the soul power entering his body, feeling a warm, comfortable sensation all over.
As Asu began the sacrifice, the beast kings from the core area also appeared around them, their faces complicated as they looked at the White Deer.
"I wonder if I'll end up like this, struck down by the heavenly tribulation and perish."
The voice of Purple Princess echoed in the ears of all the beasts, causing a brief silence.
Although they had powerful bloodlines and could easily survive the early heavenly tribulations, no one could be sure they would survive forever. The scene of Di Tian surviving his 700,000-year tribulation was still fresh in their minds.
To be honest, aside from Bear King, none of them dared to say they could withstand such a tribulation.
The beasts, looking at Ning Bei who was fully absorbing the soul power, began to think. If Ning Bei could ascend to godhood, that could be a way out for them as well. It seemed necessary to foster a good relationship with him.
Time passed slowly, and the process of the sacrifice neared its end. A blood-red soul ring gradually formed on the seventh level of the Dan Tower. Ning Bei felt a warm current flow into his right arm.
He understood that this was Asu's help in forming his soul bone.
"That's all. If you have any questions about the soul bone in the future, feel free to communicate with me. My soul will sleep within the soul bone."
"I understand, Senior. Thank you."
No further response came, indicating that Asu had likely fallen into a deep sleep.
Ning Bei slowly opened his eyes, looking at the seven soul rings—two yellow, one purple, three black, and one red—glowing on the Dan Tower, feeling a deep sense of satisfaction.
Most importantly, the pill he had been eagerly awaiting had arrived.
Looking around, he found that the fierce beasts had all gathered.
"You've got lucky, huh? You can have a 100,000-year soul ring at the Soul Saint level."
The King of Myriad Beasts teased Ning Bei, but he had to admit, this was the luckiest human he had ever seen.
Ning Bei smiled but didn't respond. Now was the time to stay humble. He turned to greet the beast kings.
"Greetings, Senior Beasts. It's good to see you again."
Di Tian waved his hand, signaling no need for formalities, then looked at Ning Bei with anticipation.
"So, how about those pills? Do you have something suitable for the master?"
Ning Bei smiled lightly. Di Tian was really loyal, immediately thinking about this.
"Yes, Senior. Among the pills I've brought, there's one called the Life Return Pill. It helps humans recover as long as their head isn't chopped off or their heart crushed. I believe it will work on Lord Silver Dragon King as well."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian's face lit up with joy.
"Really? That's great! Come, follow me."
With that, Di Tian grabbed Ning Bei and disappeared.
The beast kings were left staring at each other by the Lake of Life.
A few seconds later, Di Tian and Ning Bei arrived at the cave beneath the Lake of Life.
The massive head of the Silver Dragon King came into view.
Sensing the presence of Di Tian and Ning Bei, the Silver Dragon King slowly opened its vertical pupils.
"Child, you've arrived. Nice, your strength has improved a lot."
Before Ning Bei and the Dragon King could exchange pleasantries, Di Tian spoke urgently.
"Master, this kid, Ning Bei, has created a pill called the Life Return Pill, which is said to have tremendous benefits in healing injuries. You should try it."
Ning Bei rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "Why is Di Tian more anxious than the actual master?"
The Silver Dragon King's regal gaze softened slightly, and he smiled.
"Really? Then I'm quite eager to try it."
Ning Bei, hearing this, didn't delay. He summoned the Dan Tower, and the blood-red soul ring he had just obtained lit up, with a Life Return Pill appearing in his hand.
However, to his surprise, a terrifying bolt of lightning gathered above the Star Dou Forest, heading straight for the Life Return Pill in Ning Bei's hand.
"Audacious!"
Di Tian, seeing that this little thunderbolt dared to disturb his master while taking pills, immediately transformed into the Black Dragon and rushed into the Star Dou Forest to swallow the lightning.
He then transformed back into his human form and appeared beside Ning Bei.
Ning Bei was astonished. A Seventh Grade pill could actually attract this kind of pill lightning? He thought this only happened in the Continent of Dou Qi! Does this mean I can start throwing freshly made pills at people with added lightning damage?
