—------------------—
After a short while, following the residual Qi of the Hidden Weapons, Tang San quickly found the corpse of the Death Demon Spider in a grassy area. A Fishy smell smell filled the air, and there were no other Spirit Beasts nearby.
The Hidden Weapons in the Death Demon Spider contained the potent poison refined by Tang San. The Hidden Weapons thrown by Tang San directly entered the Death Demon Spider's head through its eyes. Even with its powerful strength, it couldn't escape the fate of death.
"It's just a pity that neither of the two Spirit Beasts dropped a Spirit Bone." After a sigh, the Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances extended and directly submerged into the Death Demon Spider's corpse.
A few moments later, he retracted the Eight Spider Lances.
"Level sixty-three, and the Soul Devouring Eight Spider Lances have also evolved. I'm afraid they've already reached over fifty thousand years, right?"
Opening his eyes, Tang San's desire for power in his eyes grew even stronger.
"It's just a pity I don't know what changes happened in Sunset Forest, so I can't stay any longer. I should go back and see my aunt first." After taking a deep breath, Tang San began his journey home.
A few days later, in a town outside Sunset Forest, Tang San, disguised, strode in.
He soon heard about the latest major event in the Spirit Master's world.
"soul spirit? What is that?" Tang San's expression tightened. "Shi Quan has actually published a new theory again."
Then, a cold sneer appeared on Tang San's lips. "Good. If his mind is entirely focused on theoretical research, then his speed of strength improvement will certainly be affected."
"However, could the anomaly in Sunset Forest be related to his soul spirit? There's too little information here. Since these people know about this, my aunt must have more detailed news."
Tang San didn't hesitate at all. He quickly left the town and hurried towards Heaven Dou City.
A few days later, outside Moon Pavilion.
"There are actually so many hidden sentries outside Moon Pavilion?" Tang San frowned. This time, he didn't directly enter Moon Pavilion. Instead, he observed outside Moon Pavilion for a period of time before discovering that there were quite a few hidden sentries, constantly monitoring the people entering and exiting Moon Pavilion.
"It seems they must have guessed that Tang Yin is me. Fortunately, I changed my disguise again."
"It seems I can only sneak in at night. With your clumsy reconnaissance methods, do you really think you can show off in front of a Tang Sect Disciple like me?"
Tang San sneered and checked into a hotel two streets away from Moon Pavilion. He waited until late at night before sneaking out of the room, making his way to the outside of Moon Pavilion, and quietly entering Moon Pavilion.
"Aunt." Tang San's voice, as faint as a mosquito, continuously came from outside the window.
Inside the room, Tang Yuehua suddenly opened her eyes, looked out the window, and quickly went to the window, opening it. With a creak, a cool breeze wafted in, and Tang San's figure also leaped inside.
"Xiao San, you're back." Tang Yuehua looked at Tang San's slightly weathered figure, her heart filled with tenderness. "Xiao San, where have you been all this time?"
Tang San softly said, "I was just Cultivating. Don't worry, Aunt, I told you I would never seek revenge until I had the strength."
"That's good, that's good." Tang Yuehua hugged Tang San tightly.
Tang San gently patted Tang Yuehua's back, and the taut string in his heart also relaxed a lot. "Aunt, I heard that Shi Quan founded a new theory?"
"You mean soul spirit?" Tang Yuehua said, leading Tang San to sit down in a chair.
"Yes, I've been Cultivating diligently recently, and I accidentally heard this news. Aunt, what exactly is this soul spirit?"
Tang Yuehua sighed slightly. Although she hated Shi Quan, she had to admit his talent. The soul spirit theory had spread throughout the entire continent in a short period of time.
The thousand soul spirit contract slots available each year had become a target of contention for a large number of Spirit Masters.
After listening, Tang San's expression also became somewhat solemn.
He hadn't expected Shi Quan to be able to create such an astonishing product.
Especially after hearing that Shi Quan had even gained the protection of Spirit Beasts, and that his spirit power had already Broken through to Spirit Saint, Tang San's heart sank even further.
"The improvement speed is still too slow. It seems I need to accelerate." A cold glint flashed in Tang San's blood-red eyes.
After chatting with Tang Yuehua for a while longer, Tang San found an excuse and quietly left Moon Pavilion.
On the other side.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
"Shi Quan, Xue Qinghe has investigated the matter you asked him to." Dugu Bo walked into the research institute from outside the room.
Shi Quan stopped what he was doing and looked at Dugu Bo, "How is it?"
"It's pretty much as you expected. That Yu Xiaogang was indeed rescued by Liu Erlong." Dugu Bo nodded and handed the investigative information in his hand to Shi Quan.
"I have to say, Liu Erlong is very bold. She played a trick on everyone, hiding him directly in Blue Tyrant Academy."
Neither the Heaven Dou Empire nor the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan expected that Yu Xiaogang had never left Heaven Dou City from beginning to end, always holed up in Blue Tyrant Academy.
"Good." Shi Quan nodded and put away the investigative news.
Qian Renxue was almost on his side now. He was preparing to win over Bibi Dong, and the biggest problem in winning over Bibi Dong was Yu Xiaogang. He had to find a way to destroy Bibi Dong's love and steadfastness for Yu Xiaogang.
"Grandpa Dugu, please trouble you to go to Blue Tyrant Academy and monitor the two of them for a while. Try to record their daily lives. I will need it later."
"No problem." Dugu Bo nodded. "I see that you've almost handled everything. When are you planning to depart for the Extreme North Land?"
"Probably within these two days. News came from Xue Qinghe that Xue Ye already has the idea of passing the imperial Legacy to him. After returning from the Extreme North Land, I plan to add more fuel to the fire and see if I can help him completely solidify his position."
"You can handle the matters of the Heaven Dou Empire as you see fit. Actually, I've always wondered why you care so much about Xue Qinghe." Dugu Bo shook his head.
"Grandpa, you will understand one day."
Three days later.
Shi Quan, Ye Lingling, and Gu Yuena embarked on their journey to the Extreme North Land. The Extreme North Land was freezing cold. Dugu Yan had a fire-attribute Martial Spirit, so going to the Extreme North Land was not suitable. Moreover, the purpose of this trip was to persuade the ice and snow two emperors to become Ye Lingling's soul spirit, and it wouldn't take too long, so Shi Quan didn't bring her along.
Leaving Heaven Dou City, the three flew directly north.
Heading north, the three traveled at a fast pace. As they advanced, the surrounding air gradually began to grow colder and colder.
Especially when flying, the biting cold wind howled like blades all around. However, all these cold winds were blocked by Shi Quan using his spirit power.
Shi Quan's body was special. With the Nine Yin Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting his body, he wouldn't feel the slightest cold even in the World of ice and snow.
Gu Yuena was even less of a concern. Only Ye Lingling had slightly weaker resistance to the cold, but with the Water Dragon King torso Spirit Bone, even if it was weak, it wasn't significantly so. Moreover, with Shi Quan's protection throughout the journey, she didn't feel much.
Another day later.
The group had already crossed the northern border of the Heaven Dou Empire and entered the edge of the Extreme North Land.
Within a thousand miles, there was nothing but desolate, snow-white scenery. Aside from the extreme cold, this landscape of white snow, where "a thousand mountains lose their birds' flight, and ten thousand paths lose human traces," was still exceptionally charming.
Even a casual breath would instantly turn into white mist, slowly merging into the ice and snow.
Ye Lingling also changed into a fur coat and couldn't help but complain, "The temperature in this Extreme North Land is really low."
Tian Meng's figure emerged from Shi Quan's body, transforming into a small boy and landing on Shi Quan's shoulder.
After the soul spirit research was successful, Shi Quan immediately converted Tian Meng and Yin Lao in his mind into soul spirits.
After the transformation, Tian Meng gained the ability to change his form.
Tian Meng puffed out his chest and said, "If it were before, I would say this temperature is hot. This place is still far from the true cold. Wait until we go further in, then you'll know what a World of ice and snow truly is!"
When his eyes looked into the depths of the Extreme North Land, they were full of infatuation and deep affection, and he excitedly shouted, "Extreme North Land, I, Tian Meng, am finally back! Ice Emperor, I'm back!"
"Since you're back, then lead the way." Shi Quan turned his head to look at Tian Meng.
Tian Meng's expression froze, and he awkwardly replied, "I don't know the way…"
"You don't know the way?"
Seeing Shi Quan's questioning gaze, Tian Meng quickly explained, "Boss, I really don't know the way. Actually, most of my time before was spent sleeping. Boss, you know, our Ice Silkworm Clan has no combat power at all. Although I'm old, I still can't escape the limitations of my Bloodline, so I don't actually know much about the Extreme North Land. However, as long as we keep going towards colder and colder places, there will definitely be no problem."
Shi Quan was speechless upon hearing this. He shook his head helplessly, preparing to continue deeper for a while longer.
The biting cold wind accompanied by a blizzard enveloped the Heaven and Earth, which also significantly affected the trio's progress.
Shi Quan suddenly remembered that in the original Douluo Dalu 2, Tian Meng seemed to be able to attract the Ice Emperor with something. He then looked at Tian Meng, "Tian Meng, don't you have any special method to attract the Ice Emperor over first?"
"Boss, all my power has been absorbed by you. I really can't do anything." Tian Meng's expression paused, then he chuckled mischievously, "Boss, I can't, but that doesn't mean you can't."
Shi Quan immediately reacted, "You mean for me to imitate you to attract the Ice Emperor?"
Tian Meng nodded repeatedly, "That Ice Emperor will definitely come out of the core circle of the Extreme North Land without stopping as soon as she senses my aura."
"That's also a method." Shi Quan nodded.
This Extreme North Land was truly a bit vast, and Tian Meng didn't know the way. Wandering around like this, they had no idea how much time it would waste. If they could find a guide, it would be much simpler…
