Chapter 25: Capturing the Emperor Destiny Beast?
The next day.
Early in the morning, Qian Xunji took Yun Yuan with him and set off for the Star Dou Great Forest to help Yun Yuan obtain his second soul ring.
This time, Qian Xunji was full of enthusiasm, determined to secure an excellent soul ring for Yun Yuan.
After all, his little disciple was truly outstanding, having already broken through to Soul Grandmaster in less than a year. He could not be more satisfied. As his teacher, he naturally had to do his part well and not hold him back when it came to obtaining a soul ring.
A few hours later, since Spirit City was adjacent to the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Xunji and Yun Yuan arrived quickly.
"Xiao Yuan, for your second soul ring, we'll still follow the priority order of the soul beasts we marked earlier."
"Right. Before that, let me check your physical condition and see what the maximum age of soul ring you can absorb is."
After saying that, Qian Xunji placed his hand on Yun Yuan's shoulder and began to examine his physical condition.
"Mm, your physique is already comparable to a Beast Martial Soul Soul Elder. I estimate that anything under two thousand years shouldn't be a problem."
After the inspection, Qian Xunji felt more confident. This time, in the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest, he would try to find a soul beast around two thousand years old.
Afterward, the two began wandering through the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest. Finding a suitable soul beast was not something that could be done in a short time.
"Green Blade Mantis, priority ranking in the twenties, around fifteen hundred years. This won't do."
...
This search was clearly more difficult than the previous one. As the age of soul beasts increased, their numbers decreased accordingly.
Naturally, the difficulty of finding a suitable soul beast rose sharply.
Two full days passed, and the master and disciple still had no results. This made Yun Yuan sigh at how difficult it was to obtain a suitable soul ring.
No wonder top-tier experts were usually born within major forces. Just selecting a suitable soul ring in the Star Dou Great Forest alone was enough to stump the vast majority of civilian soul masters.
Without luck, most civilian soul masters could only obtain mediocre soul rings, let alone ones that perfectly matched their martial soul.
In a soul master's growth, both meditation techniques and the acquisition of soul rings were crucial factors.
Unlike Yun Yuan's slight irritation, Qian Xunji remained extremely patient, carefully searching for a suitable soul beast for him.
But soon, his spiritual power detected a soul beast that shocked him deeply.
In his perception, the soul beast's age was not high, only a few thousand years, but its quality was the highest he had ever seen in his life.
Moreover, it was a soul beast of light and fire attributes, making it perfectly compatible with their Angel lineage's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
Upon discovering such a super soul beast, a trace of greed flashed through Qian Xunji's heart, and his gaze turned greedily toward a certain direction.
Since he had encountered such a creature, he could not miss it. He would capture it and raise it in captivity so that when a genius soul master appeared in their Angel lineage in the future, this soul beast could serve as their soul ring.
At this thought, Qian Xunji suddenly stopped walking, causing Yun Yuan to feel slightly puzzled.
What was going on with his teacher? Had he discovered something?
"Xiao Yuan, we'll temporarily put aside obtaining your soul ring. Come with me to capture a super soul beast."
After saying this, before Yun Yuan could react, Qian Xunji summoned his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, grabbed Yun Yuan, and flew toward the direction where he sensed the super soul beast.
"A super soul beast? What kind of soul beast is the Teacher trying to capture?"
Upon hearing Qian Xunji's plan, Yun Yuan couldn't help but start guessing.
But in just a short while, Qian Xunji had already brought Yun Yuan above the super soul beast.
Yun Yuan looked down. One glance was enough to startle him.
The super soul beast Qian Xunji intended to capture was over two meters tall, with golden fur. Its entire body seemed like a semi-transparent crystal, filled with a strange texture.
Its overall form resembled a lion, but its four claws were like those of a dragon, each stepping on a cluster of golden flames.
Beneath its fur were fine golden scales. Besides its normal pair of eyes, it also had a third eye, a vertical pupil.
Its two normal eyes shone with golden light, while the vertical pupil emitted a red glow, carrying a somewhat eerie crimson hue.
The moment Yun Yuan saw this super soul beast, a name instantly appeared in his mind—the Emperor Destiny Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
Wait, his teacher wanted to capture this soul beast? Did he think his life was too long?
Of course, Yun Yuan also knew that Qian Xunji likely did not recognize the existence of the Emperor Destiny Beast. After all, in this era, even the existence of fierce beasts was unknown, let alone the Emperor Destiny Beast.
But Qian Xunji didn't recognize it. Yun Yuan did.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, this being was like a living ancestor. If they provoked her, with Qian Xunji's strength, Yun Yuan felt they would face a great crisis.
After a brief moment of thought, Yun Yuan immediately spoke to persuade Qian Xunji to leave at once.
The Emperor Destiny Beast would definitely be protected by fierce beasts. If those beasts made a move, escaping would become much more troublesome.
"Teacher, don't provoke that soul beast. We need to leave quickly, or it'll be dangerous!"
Yun Yuan shouted toward Qian Xunji.
Just as Yun Yuan was about to continue explaining the significance of the Emperor Destiny Beast to make Qian Xunji realize the severity of the situation,
Qian Xunji paid no attention and responded casually.
"Xiao Yuan, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. With my Titled Douluo cultivation and Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, even if it's protected by a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, I can still safely take you away. Just relax."
Qian Xunji did not take Yun Yuan's words seriously. In his view, the most dangerous soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest were only a hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
With his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and Titled Douluo strength, even while protecting Yun Yuan, he could retreat unscathed against such opponents.
After replying, before Yun Yuan could continue explaining, Qian Xunji made his move. A giant hand formed from angelic soul power appeared in midair, grabbing toward the Emperor Destiny Beast, intending to capture it.
Below, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was hunting for food when she suddenly saw a human expert attacking her from above.
Her first reaction was fury. How dare someone attack her in the Star Dou Great Forest? Did they not value their life?
Just as she was about to roar and summon her protectors, she suddenly remembered that she had snuck out this time without Di Tian's permission.
Huh? Then what should she do? That human above seemed as strong as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Was she going to get captured today?
At this moment, both Yun Yuan and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt a sense of panic in their hearts.
