Chapter 253 The Ferocious Beasts' Leaky Cotton-padded Jacket
Upon hearing this, Tang Chuan was startled, but he remained outwardly calm.
He did not go to see Di Tian.
Instead, he immediately turned his gaze back to the calm and profound Lake of Life before him.
Tang Chuan knew this perfectly well.
Beneath that emerald-green lake, in a depth unseen by others, lies a colossal secret concerning the entire Douluo Continent, and even the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing the overall structure and power dynamics) of the God Realm—Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena!
A being whose strength is comparable to that of a god-king.
The other half of the Dragon God is also the ruler of all soul beasts.
The unspoken meaning in Di Tian's words just now was about healing a person's injuries.
What he was referring to was nothing more than healing the old wounds on the body of the slumbering master at the bottom of the lake, which were left by the Asura Divine Sword during the great war of the gods years ago and contained the power of the Asura God.
Given the current strength of the Soul Beast race, even the strongest healing-type ferocious beast, Bi Ji, is no match for them.
Its healing ability, if placed in the human world, might be comparable to a level 98 healing-type titled Douluo. However, this level of power is simply a drop in the ocean compared to the erosion of the Asura divine power left behind by a God-King level, and is utterly powerless.
This is almost an unsolvable problem.
But... what if the one who intervenes to heal is not a soul beast, but a deity?
If a healing deity were to lend a helping hand, using divine laws to neutralize and dispel the stubborn Asura divine power within him, the possibility of healing the Silver Dragon King's injuries would greatly increase.
However, this most crucial link is precisely what the soul beast race itself can never achieve.
The path for soul beasts to become gods has long been completely sealed off by the laws of the divine realm!
This is an ironclad rule, one of the rules governing how this world operates.
No matter how gifted or powerful you are, as long as you are a soul beast, you will never become a god.
No matter how strong Brigitte is, she can never cross that insurmountable barrier.
Therefore, Di Tian turned his attention to Tang Chuan, a human who possessed the bloodline of a soul beast. In him, Di Tian saw a faint possibility of breaking this cycle of despair.
One that can grow up.
And they may inherit the divine position, becoming the hope of a healing deity.
Having figured all this out, Tang Chuan didn't immediately reveal it. He simply gazed quietly at the lake in front of him, as if he too was deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery.
But in his heart, he already understood the heavy and profound bond he would have with the Star Dou Great Forest, with the existence at the bottom of this lake, and even with the entire Soul Beast race in the future.
Di Tian is making a huge gamble on Tang Chuan, an investment that will affect the future.
And he, too, seems to have been inevitably drawn into the center of this vortex.
Although Tang Chuan knew everything in his heart, he showed no sign of it on his face, still feigning a blank and confused expression, and asked following Di Tian's words:
"Beast God, what did you mean by that just now?"
Di Tian gave him a deep look, his dragon eyes seemingly able to see through people's hearts, but he didn't say anything. He simply waved his hand and said in a calm but undeniable tone:
"You don't need to know that right now."
"I will tell you when the time is right."
At this point, he changed the subject, raising his hand to point to the extremely dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can cultivate here for now. The spiritual energy here is extremely rich, which will greatly benefit your strength improvement."
After saying that, Di Tian said no more. He glanced at Tang Chuan one last time, and then floated up as if completely weightless, silently flying towards the center of the Lake of Life.
To Tang Chuan's surprise, as Di Tian approached the center of the lake, his solid figure began to gradually fade and blur, as if merging into the misty life force.
It eventually disappeared completely, leaving not even a trace behind.
Clearly, there's more to that place than meets the eye.
It is very likely the entrance to the place where the Silver Dragon King sleeps.
After Di Tian left, Tang Chuan didn't linger any longer and immediately sat down cross-legged on the spot, preparing to take advantage of this unique environment to begin his cultivation.
At the same time, he multitasked, quietly releasing his mental energy once again, attempting to secretly scan the location of the cave that had previously imprisoned Tianmeng Ice Silkworm through the Blue Silver Domain.
However, this time, his mental perception yielded nothing.
That area seemed to be completely shielded or hidden by an even more powerful force.
He could no longer detect anything, which was undoubtedly the work of Di Tian or some other ferocious beast, cutting off his chance to contact the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Just then, a faint, refreshing fragrance wafted from in front of me.
Tang Chuan subconsciously looked down.
Before he knew it, several green fruits had quietly piled up in front of him.
"This is…?"
These green fruits are perfectly round and translucent, like the finest jade, with tiny golden specks scattered across their skin, like stars adorning the surface.
The rich aroma lingered and was extremely enticing.
Just smelling it makes one feel as if their soul power is circulating faster.
Having lived on the Douluo Continent for over a decade and experienced countless trials, Tang Chuan was undoubtedly a man of considerable knowledge. After a brief moment of surprise, memories of this fruit immediately surfaced in his mind, and a hint of delight flashed in his eyes.
Golden Jade Fruit!
This is an extremely precious fruit, a rare and pure natural treasure that enhances a Soul Master's physique and Soul Power! That's right, it can already be called a treasure.
It is a highly nourishing substance for Soul Masters' cultivation, and is extremely rare and sought after.
Tang Chuan didn't stand on ceremony. Knowing that this was probably prepared for him by Di Tian or Xiao Ruier, he picked up a golden jade fruit and ate it in a few bites.
The taste of the Golden Jade Fruit is not particularly outstanding. The flesh is very elastic and juicy, but it is not sweet and has a slightly astringent taste.
But Tang Chuan wouldn't waste a single bit of this good stuff; he ate even the outer skin.
However, he did not try to do too much, knowing that excess is as bad as deficiency.
I stopped after eating one.
Golden Jade Fruit has excellent effects, but too much will prevent it from being fully absorbed; one is enough.
Sure enough, a moment later.
A gentle, warm current began to spread from his stomach and intestines to his limbs and bones.
The soul power within his dantian immediately became more active and abundant. Without Tang Chuan having to deliberately urge it, it naturally accelerated its circulation along the path he usually cultivated.
For Tang Chuan, whose soul power had already reached level seventy.
This golden jade fruit didn't significantly increase his total soul power, but it had a remarkable effect on nourishing and tempering his body. Its gentle energy permeated his meridians and bones, removing any minor, hidden injuries that might have been left by his previous serious injuries.
After just a few hours of cultivation, when Tang Chuan opened his eyes again, his energy and spirit had reached an unprecedented peak.
Just then, a series of light footsteps approached.
Tang Chuan looked up and saw Xiao Ruier walking towards him from not far away.
At this moment, she held in her arms a large pile of exotic flowers, fruits, and rare herbs that emitted various colors and a rich medicinal fragrance. They were all rare and precious treasures that were hard to find in the outside world.
Clearly, she had specially searched for these things in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest while Tang Chuan was cultivating, hoping to help him recover and improve more quickly.
Looking at Xiao Ruier's bright smile, which carried a hint of showing off her treasures, and the pile of treasures in her arms that could drive any Soul Master crazy, Tang Chuan felt a warmth in his heart and was filled with joy.
But he suppressed the urge to immediately examine the treasures, and remembering the interruption of their exploration, he subconsciously lowered his voice and asked Xiao Ruier:
"Rui'er, do you know... somewhere around here... there's a huge cave? And inside... it looks like there's a giant silkworm locked up?"
"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Ruier's beautiful face froze for a moment. Her hands, which were holding the rare and precious herbs, tightened instinctively. A hint of surprise and panic flashed in her golden eyes as she said, "Why...why are you suddenly asking this?"
Seeing her somewhat excessive reaction, Tang Chuan became even more certain and explained:
"When I was using my mental energy to scan the surroundings just now, I think... I accidentally scanned this place. I'm really curious, what... what is this thing?"
Hearing Tang Chuan say that he had scanned it himself, Xiao Ruier visibly relaxed, but then seemed to remember some strict prohibition. She subconsciously glanced left and right, as if afraid of being overheard by some being, before leaning closer to Tang Chuan, lowering her voice to a whisper, with a hint of nervousness as if she were doing something wrong and unreserved trust in him, and said:
"This... Uncle Di Tian told me not to tell anyone..."
She paused, looked at Tang Chuan's curious gaze, bit her lip, but ultimately her emotions prevailed. A resolute glint flashed in her eyes, and she added in a voice barely audible:
"But if you really want to know, I... I can tell you secretly."
At this moment, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts, far away in the depths of the Lake of Life or in other forbidden areas of the forest, probably never imagined that the Emperor Beast, whom they had cherished since childhood, regarded as a treasure, and believed would never betray the forest, was their little darling.
In front of a certain blue-haired boy, it had already begun to leak air silently.
…………
Meanwhile, in the Starry Sky Forest, in the mixed zone...
The towering ancient trees blocked most of the sunlight, making the forest appear deep and damp.
The air was filled with the smell of humus and a faint sense of danger.
A group of about a dozen people were moving silently and quickly through this area teeming with spirit beasts. Each of them was dressed in a close-fitting outfit that allowed for easy movement, with a scarlet cloak over their clothes. They were none other than the cardinals of the Spirit Hall!
These powerful Soul Masters, who usually held high positions in the main halls of the Martial Soul Sect in major cities, were now like the most elite scouts, concealing their auras and making almost no sound as they moved.
The two leaders were elusive and ghostly, one alluring like a woman and the other shrouded in shadow. They were none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, who were acting on Bibi Dong's secret orders!
