Chapter 41 Sacrifice, Two Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Rings
After crossing the Death Canyon, we arrived at the Northern Province of the Tiandou Empire.
"Senior, where are we going now?"
Along the way, Zhu Zhuqing never asked Ye Yan where he was going, but there was no news that the Northern Province was special in the entire Tiandou Empire?
"I promised something before, and now I have to do it."
The Northern Province is located in the northwest of the Tiandou Empire. The northernmost city is a place called Beihai City, and further up is a place called Ice Ridge Mountains.
It is rumored that this mountain range was formed after the death of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but no one has proven it.
After coming out of the Death Canyon, it is only the southern part of the Northern Province. It will take some time to reach the northernmost area.
Beihai City.
This is a city located at the edge of Douluo Continent. Most of the soul masters in the city are at the level of great soul masters.
Zhu Zhuqing hugged her shoulders. It's so cold here.
After entering the city, both of them bought a set of thick animal skin coats. Ye Yan walked into a restaurant and bought a roast goose and a portion of peanuts. After wrapping them in a straw mat, he left Beihai City and headed towards the Ice Ridge Mountains.
Zhu Zhuqing followed Ye Yan all the way, and after entering the mountains and walking for a while, they came to a small wooden cabin.
Can people live here?
The two walked into the wooden house. At this time, the whole house was freezing cold, even colder than the ice and snow outside!
It looks impossible to live in!
After Ye Yan put his things down, he took out some wine and started drinking alone. The two of them waited until the sun set, just as Zhu Zhuqing was rubbing her hands in the cold.
The wooden door on the side was opened, and a white-haired old man hunched over and walked into the wooden house. When he saw Ye Yan, he smiled.
"You're so trustworthy."
Zhu Zhuqing was puzzled. Could it be that the senior went through the Death Canyon to save time just to fulfill the agreement with this old man?
Ye Yan took out a bottle of medicinal wine made from magical herbs and threw it over. The old man took it, opened the bag and took a sip.
"What a good wine! I have never tasted such delicious wine in my life!
But it's a pity to give it to an old man like me, as it's impossible to increase my lifespan."
When the old man saw the roast goose, his eyes lit up and he grabbed it and bit into it.
“Huh~ That’s the taste!”
Ye Yan didn't know the old man's name, but he had studied with this old man for a period of time when he came to the Ice Ridge Mountains for training.
Originally Ye Yan wanted to repay him in other ways, but the old man had only one request.
When his life is nearing its end, just ask Ye Yan to bring a roll of straw mat over to collect his body.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye, and Ye Yan has grown from that ignorant child into the Titled Douluo that everyone envies.
There are less than three days left until the time they agreed upon, but the old man still looks lively and doesn't look like he's about to die.
After hearing the old man's story, Zhu Zhuqing was also amazed and said, "You still look so energetic!"
"It's just a flash of brilliance. My body is still clear."
Then he looked at Ye Yan, a smile appeared on his old face and he said, "But I changed my mind."
The old man looked at Ye Yan as if he had returned to ten years ago, when a child was practicing swordplay with a black sword in this cold mountain range, just to practice that cold sword intent. The old man's true identity was not a human, but a soul beast that had existed for 100,000 years!
Soul beasts that have grown to be 100,000 years old will face two choices.
It will continue to be a soul beast, but every thousand years it will experience a thunder tribulation. This thunder tribulation is extremely cruel and basically no soul beast can survive!
There is another way, which is to give up all your cultivation and start from scratch, and naturalize your body as a human!
Because humans are the fastest growing creatures among all living things, and only humans have the opportunity to break through level 100 within a hundred years and become the legendary gods!
As long as you become a god, your life will be unlimited and you can live forever!
The old man was a transformed hundred thousand year soul beast ninety-nine years ago, but he has only cultivated to the 89th level of human beings so far.
Hopeless level 100.
Rather than just dying like this, it would be better to make use of his last bit of value.
Ye Yan is no longer the same person he was ten years ago. He now possesses the strength of a Titled Douluo, and the old man's true identity can be seen.
"You told me before that you have two martial spirits. You were not joking, right?" the old man asked with a smile.
Ye Yan took out the Xuanbao Gourd, which had only a black soul ring with a hint of red on it.
"Already have the first spirit ring?"
The old man looked at Ye Yan’s gourd for a while and found that his first soul ring was that of a soul beast that was more than 90,000 years old. It would take less than a thousand years for him to break through and become a soul beast that was more than 100,000 years old!
But now it has been killed by Ye Yan and turned into a soul ring.
"In that case, maybe it's possible."
The old man finished all the wine and roast duck that Ye Yan gave him, and after resting for a while with a satisfied look on his face, he said, "Let me, an old man, get excited one last time!"
In fact, he already had this idea in his previous agreement with Ye Yan. As long as Ye Yan kept his promise and came back, he would sacrifice himself to him.
In addition to being hunted, a hundred thousand year soul beast can also choose to be sacrificed.
However, this approach will prevent the soul beast from entering reincarnation, and from then on, when it dies, it is truly dead.
The old man said: "I have become your spirit ring, you must live with me and take me to the legendary God Realm. As long as you live, I will never die!"
Ye Yan was surrounded by a gentle soul power. Faintly, a drunken Yuan-devouring Lizard appeared behind the old man and then merged into Ye Yan's body. The first soul ring of Ye Yan's Xuanbao Gourd also began to undergo some changes. Only a red soul ring in the black color began to gradually turn red!
"When you write your legend in the future, don't forget me, old man!"
The second soul ring appeared on Ye Yan’s Xuanbao Gourd, and at the same time Ye Yan’s soul power reached level 95.
The old man's body lost its vitality and fell to the ground. Ye Yan wanted to wrap him up with a straw mat, but the old man's body gradually turned into soul power and dissipated into the world, leaving only a soul bone.
Sacrifice and hunting are two completely different things. When accepting the sacrifice of a soul beast, there will be no pain of absorbing soul rings, and you can start fighting immediately after attaching the soul rings.
Ye Yan looked at the two red circles on his Xuanbao Gourd. He integrated a part of his life's soul power into the first soul ring, upgrading it to the level of a hundred thousand year soul ring!
Ye Yan put away the soul bone and asked Zhu Zhuqing to leave the mountains and go to Beihai City at the foot of the mountain to stay for a while.
He stayed here alone to guard the old man for a few days.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded and agreed after hearing this, but when she saw Ye Yan's lonely look, she wished she could do something for him.
At the same time, on the other side, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
After being in seclusion for more than half a year, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, one of the Titled Douluo worshipped by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, finally came out!
