Returning to the lakeshore where the Diamond Mammoth had previously resided, the Milky Way spanned the horizon, and a bright moon, like an icy wheel, slowly broke free from the shackles of the clouds, spilling its light onto every inch of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The fragmented moonlight fell upon the rippling lake surface, transforming into thousands of leaping silver scales that complemented the bright moon in the sky, brewing a hazy layer of mist.
The evening breeze, carrying the faint fragrance of grass and trees, swept across the lake, bringing a hint of chill, dyeing the silhouette of the distant forest even more ethereal, and the entire world was immersed in a dreamlike tranquility.
In a trance, Tang Shan seemed to discover a black-haired young girl's figure flashing by like a startled swan at the edge of the distant forest, seemingly holding some furry yellow creature in her arms.
Such a scene was but a fleeting moment in his eyes; when he focused his gaze again, only swaying tree shadows and thick night remained, and there was nothing there.
Everything was like the broken and reformed moon shadow in the water, illusory and unreal.
Walking in front, Snake Lance Douluo subconsciously looked back. Seeing Tang Shan's somewhat dazed expression, after a moment of thought, he understood his situation.
"Hurry back to your tent to Cultivate. Since you gained enlightenment during the battle, the consumption of your mental force, physical strength, and even Soul Power is immense. Cultivating now will not only allow you to rapidly restore your state, but it will also be of great benefit to your future Cultivation. Do not miss such a good opportunity."
Hearing Snake Lance Douluo's words, Tang Shan's heart suddenly cleared; he seemed to understand the reason for the "illusion" before his eyes.
Come to think of it, this was the perilous Star Dou Great Forest; how could a girl appear alone? Looking at the girl's age just now, she was only twelve. But if she were truly a twelve-year-old girl, how could she disappear without a trace in an instant?
It must be because he had sublimated his "essence, qi, and spirit" to comprehend his will, causing too much damage to his body and mind, which led to such an illusion.
With his thoughts cleared, Tang Shan no longer dwelled on the graceful figure that had flashed by. He immediately turned and returned to his tent, sat cross-legged with his legs naturally crossed, palms facing the sky, and quickly fell into a state of Cultivation.
He slowly closed his eyes, breathing in an orderly manner. Wisps of Origin Qi, difficult to see with the naked eye, were drawn in like thin threads, pouring into his body through the pores of his skin, slowly flowing and refining within his Meridians.
The Soul Power, which had long touched a Bottleneck within his body, skillfully circulated through the eight extraordinary meridians, absorbing all the refined Origin Qi and transforming it into a part of his own cultivation.
According to the past, this was Tang Shan's most familiar rhythm of Cultivation, but today was clearly different.
That newly condensed intangible will wrapped around the Soul Power like a layer of glaze, circulating with it.
The flow speed of the Meridians did not increase, but wherever the Soul Power passed, the Meridian walls were nourished and became increasingly resilient, and even every inch of his Physical Body gave off a subtle warmth, with a nourishing effect many times stronger than before.
With the continuous circulation for one cycle, then two cycles, that intangible will gradually merged deeply with the Soul Power, endowing it with similar properties: increasing the nourishing effect of Soul Power on the Physical Body, allowing the Physical Body to give birth to more majestic power, and making the amplification of power by Soul Power more formidable.
Tang Shan's mind was completely immersed in this mysterious process of Cultivation, reaching the Realm of forgetting both oneself and the external world.
At this moment, the Origin Qi between heaven and earth no longer needed his deliberate guidance; it seemed to be called by an invisible gravitational force, transforming into streams of pale white Qi that swirled and gathered around him, and then were continuously absorbed into his body, transforming into majestic Soul Power.
I don't know how long it had been, but the Martial Soul within Tang Shan's body quietly activated. A powerful force surged from his Dantian to his limbs and bones, and his body rapidly expanded.
But this time, the change in his figure was no longer as exaggerated and ferocious as before; his muscles did not bulge excessively but instead presented a streamlined shape full of explosive power and aesthetic beauty, with every line containing the strength of a thousand jun.
Under the skin, muscle fibers were tightly intertwined like steel cables, as if they had been tempered a thousand times, or carved by a master craftsman. The proportions of each part were perfectly coordinated, and the whole person exuded a masculine aura as steady as a mountain.
The source power originating from his True Body Martial Soul permeated every cell of his Physical Body silently like spring rain, deeply blending with his flesh, blood, Meridians, and bones.
As the Fusion deepened, the consumption rate of Soul Power gradually decreased, and the compatibility between his Martial Soul and himself continuously improved.
Beside the campfire, Snake Lance Douluo held a long branch, skewering a Soft Bones Rabbit he had just hunted.
The leaping flames greedily licked the fatty rabbit body, roasting the skin until it was golden and crispy. Drops of fragrant fat dripped down along the meat seams, falling into the fire with a "sizzle," igniting a string of fine sparks and diffusing a rich, tempting aroma of meat.
He looked back at the direction of Tang Shan's tent, felt the situation inside, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad, not bad. Being able to fall into Deep Meditation immediately after comprehending will shows that this kid's mentality and talent are top-notch. The future is promising; he might really have a chance to reach the level of the Second Consecrated Elder."
"Hmm, it's almost cooked. It seems my grilling skills haven't regressed."
Snake Lance Douluo tore off a piece of fatty, tender rabbit leg without hesitation and began to feast.
However, even while eating, he did not relax his vigilance. His formidable mental force, like an invisible radar, completely shrouded a certain area centered on Tang Shan's tent. Any movement could not escape his perception, guarding against any blind Soul Beast disturbing Tang Shan's Cultivation.
As a Senior at the Titled Douluo level, in terms of teaching and protecting Juniors, Snake Lance Douluo's experience and the depth of his cultivation far exceeded a certain level 98 Super Douluo of the douluo two era.
However, no matter how tight the vigilance, when facing an existence far exceeding one's own cultivation, it was ultimately like a paper barrier.
Just on the towering ancient tree behind him, a slender figure had already stood like a ghost, and drops of liquid were quietly sliding down!
"Sister Sovereign, you are drooling."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook off the suspicious liquid stained on its yellow fur, its pleasant voice carrying a hint of grievance.
A certain Silver Dragon King wiped the corner of her mouth with a calm expression, her face still maintaining a dignified and calm appearance.
"Auspicious Beast, you are wrong. This is not drool; it is tears of grief from seeing my Star Dou subjects being hunted."
In her indifferent and ethereal voice, she barely squeezed out a trace of grievance and grief, as if the facts were exactly as she said.
Of course, this excluded her eyes, which were tightly locked on the roasted rabbit in Snake Lance Douluo's hand and were almost sparking.
A breeze blew by, and a line of bright moonlight leaked through the swaying leaves, just illuminating her delicate and attractive oval face. Her long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, and her smooth black hair hung down to her shoulders, gleaming faintly in the moonlight.
The meat of the roasted rabbit was fat and delicious, the heat was just right, and the rich aroma of meat mixed with the fragrance of grass and trees was clearly audible in this quiet lakeside, constantly stimulating the sense of smell of the "person" and the beast.
The delicate-looking young girl gritted her silver teeth, secretly complaining in her heart: Unexpectedly, after escaping from the God Realm and being seriously injured and sleeping for many years, the first time she woke up, she encountered such a huge temptation. Humans are indeed cunning; they can actually make food so tempting. They are truly the great enemies of Soul Beasts.
"Sister Sovereign, I want to eat. Why don't we snatch it from that human?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion poked its furry head out from the girl's arms, its round eyes shining, staring fixedly at the rabbit meat in the old man's hand in the distance that was rapidly decreasing.
It had never thought that meat could be eaten like this. It seems that its birth time was too short, and its knowledge was too shallow.
"No."
The delicate girl refused without hesitation, righteously and sternly.
But for some reason, when this Emperor Auspicious Beast made the suggestion, her white, delicate little foot, which was stepping on the branch, subconsciously took a small step forward.
Seeing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately hung its head in dejection, its big eyes full of reluctance and loss.
The delicate girl looked at the somewhat listless Emperor Auspicious Beast in her arms, and a little guilt arose in her heart.
"Auspicious Beast, snatching other people's things is wrong. This is highly likely to expose our identities and may even attract the human subordinates of that group of traitors."
"I know you want to eat, so let's use another method."
As the voice fell, the world-shaking wisdom inherited from the Dragon God operated at full speed. Almost in an instant, a "perfect" plan was quietly formed in her heart.
While sighing at the subtlety of her own wisdom in her heart, she told the entire plan to the Auspicious Beast in her arms in detail.
"Sovereign, isn't this not very good? And will they be willing?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion asked with some hesitation.
"There will definitely be no problem. Of course, more importantly, such a small wish should naturally be satisfied for you, Auspicious Beast."
"After all, without you, there would be no prosperous Star Dou Great Forest in the future."
The Silver Dragon King explained this to the Auspicious Beast, and at the same time, she was hypnotizing herself in this way.
That's right, everything I have done is absolutely for the future of the Star Dou Great Forest, not because I also want to eat.
Even if I accidentally eat a little in the end, it's just incidental, just incidental.
