What she desired most now was a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring; it was crucial to her divine attainment. Seeing one appear on her disciple, how could she not be shocked?
With a hint of urgency, Bibi Dong pressed, "Xiao Jie, what's going on?"
Lin Jie, unfazed by Bibi Dong's probing, told her everything.
"You're saying the Slaughter King is dead, and you killed him. A spirit beast over a hundred thousand years old is living within the Slaughter King. That's where Tang Hao lost his arm."
Bibi Dong was deeply shocked by Lin Jie's account. She had known the Slaughter King's power. He was so powerful, she feared him greatly, and now he was dead. She
took a deep breath, calming her mind, and her shock and excitement subsided. Bibi Dong looked at Lin Jie, regarding him as if he were a demon.
Her disciple had obtained the coveted hundred-thousand-year spirit ring. And it was only the sixth ring.
She was now very eager to obtain the 100,000-year spirit ring, and when she saw the 100,000-year spirit ring on Lin Jie, her urgency became even greater.
After the intimate meeting, Bibi Dong asked Hu Liena to go back first, leaving Lin Jie alone.
"Xiao Jie, do you know why I kept you here?"
Bibi Dong knew that with Lin Jie's intelligence, he must know why she kept him here.
"Teacher, you are here for the 100,000-year spirit ring."
Lin Jie guessed it when Bibi Dong saw the 100,000-year spirit ring on her.
"Yes, to accomplish the great cause of unifying the continent, not only wisdom and talent are needed, but also absolute strength."
"Teacher, you want to ask about Xiao Wu's whereabouts, right?" Lin Jie pointed out what Bibi Dong wanted to say.
"Indeed, she's a hundred thousand year old transformed spirit beast, and you once knew her. Teacher, I urgently need a hundred thousand year spirit ring. Do you understand, teacher?"
Bibi Dong was still two spirit rings short of her second spirit. She was a woman of perfection, and absorbing spirit rings from her second spirit allowed her to rapidly increase her strength. Otherwise, she could have simply absorbed a few ten thousand year spirit rings and her spirit rings would have been full long ago. Furthermore, the hundred thousand year spirit ring was crucial to her divine test.
"Teacher, I'm not just Xiao Wu's friend, I also know where she is."
Bibi Dong's eyes lit up at Lin Jie's words.
"However, teacher, I don't recommend you hunt her."
Lin Jie still had deep feelings for Xiao Wu and naturally didn't want Bibi Dong to kill her. However, Lin Jie knew that Bibi Dong absolutely needed a hundred thousand year spirit beast, so he needed a reason.
"Xiao Jie, are you worried about your former classmate relationship with her? You should know that strength is essential to accomplishing our great cause." Bibi Dong knew of Lin Jie and Xiao Wu's relationship, but she couldn't find another 100,000-year spirit ring; otherwise, she wouldn't have set her sights on Xiao Wu.
"Teacher, it's not just because Xiao Wu is my classmate and friend. I also don't want you to get hurt."
"What do you mean?" Bibi Dong asked in confusion. There weren't many people on this continent who could hurt her these days, let alone a 100,000-year-old spirit beast.
"Xiao Wu isn't just him. There are two spirit beasts over 100,000 years old beside her. The Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python."
"Two more 100,000-year-old spirit beasts." Bibi Dong was a little surprised, but mostly delighted.
She was only two spirit rings short, and now Lin Jie told her he had three 100,000-year-old spirit beasts. How could she not be surprised?
"Yes, and I know where they are. It's just that I don't want you to hunt them, Teacher. It's not just for Xiao Wu. It's also for you, Teacher."
Bibi Dong frowned slightly and looked at Lin Jie, eager to hear his explanation.
"Teacher, let's put Xiao Wu aside for a moment. Hunting two soul beasts over a hundred thousand years old would require a tremendous amount of strength. The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape are both ancient species, even more powerful than the average hundred thousand year old soul beast. To completely hunt them, we'd need at least four Titled Douluo. With the strength of our Spirit Hall, we do have a chance."
"But, Teacher, do you know why I said it was for you?" Lin Jie asked, a hint of mystery in his eyes.
"Why?" Bibi Dong also had her doubts.
"Teacher, do you know about ferocious beasts?"
"Ferocious beasts."
Bibi Dong thought for a moment; it sounded familiar.
Lin Jie, seeing Bibi Dong's look, understood. It seemed like at this stage, the concept of ferocious beasts hadn't yet been established. It was understandable that Bibi Dong didn't know.
"Teacher, let me tell you something."
"The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape are within the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest. And you should have heard of them, teacher."
"The reason I don't want you to go in and hunt them is because within the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest is a core area, the Lake of Life. There lies the most terrifying existence on the entire continent, the supreme ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, the most powerful soul beast in the world, the king of millions of soul beasts, the patriarch of the Black Dragon Clan, Emperor Tian. A super-ferocious beast with nearly 900,000 years of cultivation, a quasi-god-level cultivation, and one foot halfway into the god-level."
"And there's not only Emperor Tian, there are also several ferocious beasts with cultivation levels of hundreds of thousands of years. Each of them is extremely powerful. They are all guardians of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"And the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape are just gatekeepers guarding the core area."
"I don't want you to bring multiple Titled Douluo with you to hunt them because I'm afraid you'll encounter such beings."
"If we really encountered such a being, our Spirit Hall would be severely damaged, or even completely annihilated."
"Xiao Jie, is what you said true?" Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with suspicion. It wasn't that she didn't believe it, but it was simply too hard for her to believe. She had once been to the Star Dou Great Forest and hunted a spirit beast, but she had never encountered the ferocious beasts that Lin Jie described.
"Teacher, I absolutely wouldn't dare lie to you. You may have hunted some powerful soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest before, but you didn't violate their taboos. That's why they wouldn't attack. But the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape are different. They're not just ancient species, they're also guardians of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest. If you were to lead a large number of soul masters to hunt them, who knows if you'd encounter the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"And I promise you, teacher, everything I say is the truth. Not a single lie. As for how I know, please forgive me. I promised others not to reveal who it is."
"Xiao Jie, are you sure you're telling the truth?" Bibi Dong looked at Lin Jie sternly. If what he said was true, then why hadn't she heard of such a being in the Star Dou Great Forest?
"Yes. Teacher, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone who definitely knows about the existence of the Beast God Di Tian."
"Who?"
"The Spirit Hall's High Priest, Qian Daoliu."
Qian Daoliu was a Level 99 Ultimate Douluo, one of the strongest on the continent, and a servant of the Angel God. With the Beast God Di Tian's formidable cultivation, Qian Daoliu was undoubtedly the most likely person to know of such a powerful being.
"Qian Daoliu," Bibi Dong's gaze narrowed. She had no desire to meet Qian Daoliu, but the information Lin Jie had given her was truly astonishing. She had to verify it. If such a being truly existed, she would have to make plans early.
"Indeed. However, Master, this world is not just home to the two hundred thousand year old soul beasts, the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. We can search for other soul beasts."
"That's easier said than done. Master, I've searched for them for so long and haven't found any."
"Master, leave this to me. I'm willing to help you find a hundred thousand year old soul beast."
Hearing Lin Jie's words, Bibi Dong nodded. She was becoming increasingly satisfied with Lin Jie as her disciple.
Lin Jie wasn't worried about finding a hundred thousand year old soul beast. This world couldn't possibly be home to only the few hundred thousand year old soul beasts from the original novel. The Star Dou Great Forest was so vast, and with countless soul beasts, there were surely others hidden. Moreover, soul beast gathering places like Sunset Forest are bound to have hidden spirits. As for why they haven't been discovered, it simply means they're well hidden. And there's also the Far North Forest! If Lin Jie wants to add spirit rings to his Ice Martial Soul, he'll have to go to the Far North Forest! There are many soul beasts over 100,000 years old there.
After Lin Jie left, Bibi Dong, still feeling apprehensive, went to look for Qian Daoliu. Although it wasn't her original intention, the result surprised her, as it was similar to what Lin Jie had described.
Not long after, Lin Jie returned to the room. Upon entering, he was stunned to see the two people chatting happily inside.
"Huo Wu, Zhu Yun, why are you here?"
"Lin Jie, you're back. I heard you were back, so Sister Zhu Yun and I were waiting for you here."
"Sister Zhu Yun."
Hearing Huo Wu calling Zhu Zhu Yun so affectionately, Lin Jie was stunned. When did they get together? And how could they call each other so affectionately?
"What's going on with you?"
Lin Jie asked, looking at the two of them in confusion, as he sat down on the sofa.
"What's going on? Lin Jie, what are you talking about." Zhu Zhuyun smiled.
"What's going on between you and Huo Wu?"
"Why, isn't it okay for me to be intimate with Huo Wu? I'm doing this for your own good." Zhu Zhuyun leaned close to Lin Jie's ear and whispered.
'For my own good.' Hearing Zhu Zhuyun's words, he suddenly remembered what she had said to him before, and was stunned. He thought she was just talking. Unexpectedly, she has already started to do it.
Seeing Huo Wu and Zhu Zhuyun being as close as sisters, for some reason, Lin Jie felt a little hot in his heart. If it were him and them. The thought of this made his heart even hotter.
"By the way, Huo Wu, it's a good thing that you are here. I have a gift for you."
"Gift!" Huo Wu asked doubtfully.
