The green world, the lush plants, everything feels not much different from the junior Ascension to Lingtai. But Tang Wulin knew very well that this place was not the same as the junior Ascension to Lingtai.
In this intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform, the possibility of them encountering a thousand-year soul beast will become extremely high, and they may even encounter a ten-thousand-year soul beast. That is a ten thousand year soul beast!
Wuchangkong was still cold, with fluttering white clothes, standing beside him, calmly observing his surroundings. With Teacher Wu around, Tang Wulin immediately felt safe and moved a little closer to him, while also observing his surroundings vigilantly.
"Follow me!" Wuchangkong stepped forward, and halos rose one by one under his feet, two yellow, two purple, and two black.
Although it was not the first time he had seen these six soul rings, Tang Wulin still felt shocked. This is the strong one! It would be great if one's own cultivation can reach the sixth ring.
In Wuchangkong's right hand, a light blue light lit up, and the Tianshuang sword was in his hand. It can be seen from his actions that he attaches great importance to the intermediate Ascension to Lingtai.
Below the seventh ring, this is the entry threshold for the intermediate Ascension to Lingtai.
Tang Wulin followed him silently, and the forest was very quiet. They walked for more than ten minutes without encountering a soul beast.
"Are you wondering why there are no soul beasts?" Wuchangkong asked Tang Wulin.
"Yes!" Tang Wulin nodded. Based on his experience in the elementary ascension to Lingtai, after such a long time, there should have been spirit beasts attacking him long ago.
Wuchangkong said indifferently: "The Ascension to Lingtai was built in imitation of the former Star Dou Forest. The Star Dou Forest is the largest virgin forest on the Douluo Continent, and it is also a forest of spirit beasts. It used to house the most powerful spirit beasts in the entire continent. In the past, there was a saying about the ranking of soul beasts, called the top ten fierce beasts, which refers to the ten strongest soul beasts with a cultivation base of more than 100,000 years. Among them, five are in the Star Forest."
"The Star Dou Great Forest is also divided into areas, which are divided into peripheral area, mixed area, core area, and the most central place of great evil. With the successful development of the Doukai, the strength of our human soul masters has been greatly improved. The soul beasts were completely suppressed years ago. But even so, when the Star Dou Forest is close to being fully developed by us, the most ferocious place at the core has still not been conquered. I have never been there, but according to legend, it is still There are powerful beasts living there, and a powerful battle armor master once tried to venture into it, but never came back. It has also become one of the few restricted areas on the mainland."
"Soul beasts that have been cultivated for more than 100,000 years can change into human appearances. Once the number of battle armor masters we activate is too large, those fierce beasts will disappear from the place of great evil, and then various horrors will begin to appear on the mainland. Attack. Later, we humans and those last fierce beasts gradually developed a tacit understanding with each other, we will not attack the place of great evil, and they will not attack humans casually."
Tang Wulin frowned and said, "Teacher Wu, what about the soul beasts in other areas of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Wu Changkong said: "After so many years, we humans have already killed and captured seven or eighty eight people, and there is nothing left. This is why the status of the Spirit Transferring Pagoda is increasing day by day. Artificial souls are now the vast majority of soul masters. The only choice. Natural souls are too difficult to obtain, and as for soul rings, there is no possibility of obtaining them directly, and there are no soul beasts for us to kill."
Tang Wulin said: "Isn't the soul beast going to be extinct?"
Wuchangkong sighed, "With the continuous development of soul guidance technology, one day in the future, soul beasts will definitely become extinct. But in fact, this is not necessarily a good thing for us humans. Of course, the battle armor has greatly improved the soul. Master's cultivation level, however, our current soul masters are still weaker in terms of soul skills than before, and the soul skills brought by artificial souls are still different from those brought to us by those soul beasts. Moreover, once the soul beasts Extinct, the continent's ecological balance will inevitably be further affected. According to research at the same level, in the past few hundred years, the number of human soul masters who awaken their martial souls is becoming less and less. I doubt that if Without soul beasts, perhaps there will be no soul masters anymore. This is the price of destroying the ecological balance."
"Let's get down to business. The elementary Ascension to the Spiritual Terrace that you have entered before, in a sense, is like the outer area of the Star Dou Great Forest. But what we are entering now is the mixed area of the Star Dou Great Forest, which is the intermediate Ascension to the Spiritual Terrace. Ordinary soul beasts live in the peripheral area. Generally speaking, the strongest ones are the thousand-year-old soul beasts. But in the mixed area, there are mainly thousand-year soul beasts and ten-thousand-year soul beasts. Soul beasts at this level of strength will have their own strengths. Therefore, the number of soul beasts in the mixed area is not as large as that in the peripheral area. It is normal to not meet soul beasts for a while, but once you encounter them, you will... "
Just as Wuchangkong said this, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and a cold wind suddenly blew up, and the Tianshuang Sword in his hand pointed in one direction.
A deep roar sounded, and a giant tiger with a body length of more than six meters and a shoulder height of one meter and five meters appeared in the sight of the two of them.
This tiger-like spirit beast has brown hair all over its body, and dark purple lines are densely covered on the brown hair, which looks very strange. One of its two eyes is ice blue and the other is fiery red. It looks very strange. What's even more peculiar is that behind it, there is a pair of wings. The colors of these wings are also ice blue and fire red.
"It seems that our luck is not very good. This Ice Fire Demon Tiger has been cultivated for at least four thousand years. No wonder there are no other soul beasts in this large area. Remember, what you have to do is to protect Take care of yourself and don't worry about the rest. Do you understand?" Although Wuchangkong was talking to Tang Wulin, his eyes were always fixed on the Ice Fire Demon Tiger.
Ice Fire Demon Tiger? Tang Wulin remembered that he had seen this rare soul beast in the classics. Although the Ice Fire Demon Tiger is not as powerful as the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, it still exists at the same level as the Man Faced Demon Spider.
Both long-range and close-range attacks are very good at, and at the same time control the power of the two elements of ice and fire. With wings on its back, it can fly for short distances, and its combat effectiveness is extremely strong. What's even more strange is that according to legend, if this kind of spirit beast dies in battle, it can produce two spirit rings, one ice and one fire, which is very strange.
Of course, in Ascension to Lingtai, there is obviously no way to have a soul ring. However, seeing such a powerful soul beast was an eye-opener for Tang Wulin.
Wuchangkong's gaze was fixed on the Ice and Fire Demon Tiger. The Ice and Fire Demon Tiger slowly walked towards him step by step with its wings spread out. It didn't go straight, but circled an arc, approaching step by step, and at the same time, the two-color light of ice and fire on the wings behind it was getting stronger and stronger. The powerful aura seems to indicate that once it launches an attack, it must be earth-shattering.
Wuchangkong's feet didn't move, but his body slowly turned around following the movement of the Ice Fire Demon Tiger.
Tang Wulin had already released several blue silver grass vines, entangled on the branches of different trees nearby. If one was not good, he could immediately jump up and dodge it.
The distance between the two sides was getting closer, and Tang Wulin had even begun to smell the fishy smell from the Ice Fire Demon Tiger.
He was no longer the ignorant young man he was when he first entered the junior college. The experience of the junior Ascension to Lingtai made him not nervous when facing the thousand-year-old soul beast, but a sense of excitement.
Of course he knew that the Ice and Fire Demon Tiger was very strong, and the Ice and Fire Demon Tiger that had existed for thousands of years was by no means something he could contend against. But at this moment, he was concentrating on seeing how powerful this Ice and Fire Demon Chef could be.
