Lin Chuan nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Bai, could you please take us to a place closer to Xingluo City?"
"Okay, please sit tight!"
The speed of the Demon Soul Great White Shark in the sea was terrifying. In just three days of rapid travel, the black horizon came into view in the distance.
I found a deserted place and set foot on the mainland again. It really felt like a different world.
Although I've gotten used to the ocean, the land is still more comfortable.
"Thank you, Xiaobai," Lin Chuan said softly, expressing his gratitude.
Xiao Bai shook his head, "This is what I should do."
See you later!
After a brief farewell, Xiaobai plunged into the sea and sped away, soon disappearing where the water met the sky.
Lin Chuan also withdrew his gaze at the right time. "Let's go. Bing'er and the others are starting their tests. We should also do what we need to do!"
Chapter 185 People are different
Upon entering the Star Luo Empire, the three headed towards the Earth Temple.
The plan is to first send Dugu Yan to her destination, and then Lin Chuan and Ye Lingling will return to Xueyuan City.
Unlike the far western coastal region of the Heaven Dou Empire, the western coastal region of the Star Luo Empire is extremely desolate, with vast stretches of desert and Gobi.
Lin Chuan came here alone to search for the Earth Fire, and now he has returned to this place.
Instead of using the Wind and Thunder Wings to fly, Lin Chuan wanted to spend a few more days with Dugu Yan while traveling.
After all, once they arrive at the Earth Temple, he and Ye Lingling will return to Snowfield City, leaving Dugu Yan alone, who will inevitably feel lonely.
However, there's nothing that can be done about it.
Now, due to Lin Chuan's influence, the situation on the entire Douluo Continent has obviously undergone a great change.
No one knows whether Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong will complete the Divine Trial ahead of schedule, establish the Martial Soul Empire, and then launch a surprise attack and war against the remaining forces of the two empires.
In the original story, the Spirit Hall launched a siege against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Among them, eight thousand people, including four titled Douluo, launched a surprise attack on the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, almost wiping out the entire Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also suffered greatly, with the deaths of two thousand disciples causing a severe blow to its strength.
Snowfield City is now definitely one of the targets of the Spirit Hall.
If the Spirit Hall is truly willing to go all out, Dugu Bo and Shui Lanxin alone will not be able to stop it. In that case, both the Shui family and the Ye family will suffer heavy losses in the attack.
Therefore, personally overseeing Snowfield City was a decision Lin Chuan had already made long ago.
As they approached the mountain range where the Earth Temple was located, the surrounding environment was no longer as desolate as before.
However, as she was passing through a not-so-wide forest, Ye Lingling suddenly paused and stopped.
"Lingling?!"
Dugu Yan was somewhat puzzled.
Lin Chuan stood firmly, his spiritual power spreading out.
He quickly detected a wisp of life energy emanating from the depths of the forest.
"I feel like something is attracting me..." Ye Lingling said softly.
Although Dugu Yan was somewhat puzzled, she still took the initiative to ask, "Shall we go and take a look?"
"Let's go check it out; it shouldn't be anything bad."
Lin Chuan took the initiative to make the suggestion, and Ye Lingling nodded in agreement.
The three of them immediately changed direction and followed Ye Lingling toward the central area of the forest.
They encountered many weak soul beasts along the way, but the three of them did not kill them. They merely released some of their soul power, which frightened them into scattering and fleeing.
Before long, the group arrived at the location they had sensed.
"There's nothing!"
Dugu Yan looked around but found nothing unusual.
"It's hidden here!"
With his powerful mental strength, Lin Chuan quickly noticed the anomaly.
Among the many large trees, one stands out from the others, radiating a faint life energy that most people wouldn't be able to detect.
Even a titled Douluo needs to investigate carefully.
Dugu Yan was somewhat puzzled, "Isn't this just a tree? Is there anything special about it?"
"This is no ordinary tree, but a 100,000-year-old soul beast!"
Lin Chuan's expression was unusually strange. He obviously did not expect that a 100,000-year-old soul beast would appear in this forest, and it was even a plant.
Logically speaking, such high-level soul beasts should live in the Star Dou Great Forest or the far north.
"This is actually a 100,000-year-old soul beast?!" Dugu Yan was immediately startled.
The girl immediately became serious, but no matter how she looked at it, she couldn't figure out the true nature of the tree; it didn't look like a 100,000-year-old soul beast at all.
"It has become one with nature, and unless one's spiritual power far surpasses its own, it is really hard to tell."
It was only because Lin Chuan had grasped the mysteries of life and possessed sufficiently strong mental power that he was able to discover its existence so easily.
"Then what is its purpose in attracting Lingling here?" Dugu Yan asked again.
"Well... just ask it and you'll know."
Lin Chuan reached out and patted the tree trunk, then spoke again, "You must have some purpose in attracting us here. Now that we're here, let's just say it!"
The next moment, the tree in front of them suddenly burst into a bright green light.
Its originally unremarkable appearance vanished instantly, and it became lush and verdant, with its emerald green leaves beginning to shimmer with light.
"Thank you for making the trip."
A voice, neither male nor female, echoed in the ears of Lin Chuan and the other two.
The voice was exceptionally ethereal, yet one could hear the sincere gratitude within it.
"Were you the one who actively attracted me before?" Ye Lingling asked.
"That's right!"
What kind of spirit beast are you?
"I am the Tree of Life, which is 100,000 years old."
Upon hearing the answer, Lin Chuan's expression immediately changed to one of surprise.
"I didn't expect it to be the Tree of Life. It's a top-tier healing soul beast, and if it becomes a martial soul, it's no weaker than the Nine-Hearted Begonia, a top-tier healing martial soul."
"So you deliberately exposed your presence and attracted us here, aren't you afraid we'll attack you?"
Lin Chuan couldn't help but feel a little curious.
The Tree of Life before her was perfect for Ye Lingling, not to mention it would drop a 100,000-year-old soul bone—it was incredibly tempting.
However, the Tree of Life's response was somewhat unexpected.
“I am well aware of this. I can sense that you have reached a bottleneck and need a spirit ring to break through. However, my spirit ring is not suitable for you, and there is a great risk in absorbing it.”
Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow. "So?"
"I deliberately lured you here because I want to sacrifice myself to this child and become her spirit ring."
The Tree of Life no longer kept everyone in suspense and openly revealed its purpose.
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Chuan and the other two were stunned.
What's going on here? A 100,000-year-old soul beast doesn't want to live anymore and is willing to sacrifice itself?
Lin Chuan seemed to have thought of something, and a playful smile appeared on his lips. "You're quite clever. It seems you know something, don't you?"
“That’s right. I received the memory inheritance from the moment I was born, and I also know a lot about God.”
The Tree of Life, which has existed for 100,000 years, did not lie and directly chose to admit it.
Their nonsensical conversation left Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan completely confused.
"Xiao Chuan, what are you talking about?"
Lin Chuan explained with a smile, "It wants to take Lingling to the God Realm when she becomes a god, and then revive her to gain endless lifespan."
"It can be like this?" Dugu Yan was quite surprised.
"Of course it is possible. After a soul beast dies, most of its soul resides in its soul ring, and a small part resides in its soul bone. After becoming a god, it is entirely possible to revive them."
