To be honest, Chen Ming wanted both Spirit Beasts.
The Dragon Turtle was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast with the dragon attribute. It also had water dragon bloodline and the water attribute.
If it could sacrifice itself to Chen Ming, then with the Water Dragon King's power already inside Chen Ming's body, it might even help the Dragon Turtle evolve further into a true water dragon. Then the Spirit Ring from the sacrifice would be a true dragon Spirit Ring.
As for the Sacred Magical Devil Ape, it was not as impressive in that way, but it was a pure spiritual-type divine beast. Its spiritual power was extremely strong.
If it sacrificed itself to Chen Ming, it would greatly raise Chen Ming's spiritual power and greatly strengthen his natural ability.
Chen Ming could even use immortal herbs and other methods to raise the Sacred Magical Devil Ape to one hundred thousand years first, then have it directly sacrifice a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring to him.
Everything sounded good.
The only problem was that Chen Ming had no idea how to make these two Spirit Beasts submit to him and sacrifice themselves.
After all, from how things looked right now, sacrifice basically meant destroying oneself completely and giving all the benefits to a Spirit Master.
During the Peerless Tang Sect era, there had been the precedent of Xiao Wu sacrificing herself to Tang San and being brought along to become a god, which could be used to tempt Spirit Beasts into sacrifice. But in this era, from the perspective of Spirit Beasts, sacrifice was an absolutely impossible method.
If he could, Chen Ming truly wanted these two Spirit Beasts to sacrifice themselves to him.
If that really did not work, then Chen Ming could only tearfully try to kill the Dragon Turtle and absorb its hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
...
That night, Qian Renxue left her tent and secretly called over Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo.
She asked them whether, if they went to kill the Dragon Turtle, they could kill it before it drew down the Heavenly Tribulation.
Facing Qian Renxue's wild idea, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo both showed awkward but polite smiles.
In their view, something like this would at least require several worshippers from the Worship Hall to act at the same time.
If it were the Sixth Worship and Seventh Worsh, then because of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the two of them might be able to do it.
If it were others, then at least the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Worship would need to act together.
As for the Second Worship and the Grand Worship, in their eyes, those two really might be able to kill a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast alone before it pulled down the Heavenly Tribulation.
"In that case, let's just forget it," Qian Renxue said after a long silence, letting out a soft sigh.
In truth, she did not need this hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone. After all, she had her own Angel Sacred Armor.
Because of talent differences, not every Angel God successor was qualified to inherit the full divine set. Some special successors could not even bear one or two pieces of the sacred armor.
But Qian Daoliu had once judged Qian Renxue and said that, with her talent, inheriting more than three pieces of the sacred armor was completely possible.
Once she grew stronger, Qian Renxue believed she would have the strength to hunt hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
More importantly, the reason Qian Renxue was not interested in this Spirit Bone was because its attribute was the complete opposite of hers.
The Angel clan's attributes were fire, light, and holy power.
Even if they did not absorb Spirit Bones with these three attributes, they absolutely could not absorb Spirit Bones with opposite attributes.
For example: water, darkness, and evil.
These three kinds of Spirit Bones would bring them harm and no benefit.
It was the same even if it was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
In fact, because it was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone and its attribute power was even stronger, the Angel clan had even more reason not to absorb Spirit Bones that clashed with their Martial Soul.
Otherwise, a huge conflict could easily happen and cause problems with the Martial Soul itself.
For the Six-Winged Angel, even the smallest problem with the Martial Soul was completely unacceptable.
Qian Renxue really wanted this Spirit Bone for two reasons.
One was to prove herself.
The other was to use this Spirit Bone to buy Chen Ming over.
For some reason, Qian Renxue always felt hungry whenever she looked at Chen Ming.
It was a very strange kind of hunger, one she could not explain.
It felt almost like she wanted to press Chen Ming into her own body.
Qian Renxue did not understand this feeling for now.
But that did not stop her from wanting to tie Chen Ming completely to her side. In her eyes, this hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone was more than enough.
After all, this was a dragon-attribute hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone.
With this Spirit Bone, along with her own identity, Qian Renxue would dare to tell Chen Ming who she really was. Then she could make Chen Ming become someone truly worthy of her trust.
Seeing Qian Renxue look a little disappointed, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo did not dare say much.
In truth, during this period, because Chen Ming and Qian Renxue had always been together, Qian Renfeng had also been moving with them. Normally, the three of them took turns keeping watch, and from time to time, they discussed their understanding of cultivation.
But Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo did not dare tell Qian Renxue that someone like Qian Renfeng existed beside Chen Ming.
First, Qian Renfeng's duty was not to protect Qian Renxue.
Second, they could also tell that Qian Renfeng, as a Spirit Master with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, seemed to have a faint opinion of Qian Renxue.
He felt that Qian Renxue was not very "angelic."
Was Qian Renxue angelic? Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo actually had their own thoughts about this question.
Just like Qian Renfeng, if someone asked whether they were loyal, they were certainly loyal to Spirit Hall and to Qian Daoliu. Otherwise, they would not have been sent directly to Qian Renxue's side to protect her.
But the problem was, they were not dead people, nor were they fools.
Even if they were loyal, it did not prevent them from thinking and observing exactly what Qian Renxue had been doing.
In fact, the two of them also had their own opinions.
For example, in the original story, during the Heaven Dou palace coup, Qian Renxue tried to recruit Tang San and said she could sacrifice Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
At that time, these two actually had thoughts about it. They simply had no way to speak up.
For the two of them, doing their duty was already a merit.
Protecting Qian Renxue was their duty.
Hunting a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast was not.
...
On the other side, Chen Ming called over Qian Renfeng and Dugu Bo, and they began to quietly discuss how to convince those two Spirit Beasts to sacrifice themselves to him.
"Making Spirit Beasts willingly sacrifice themselves to a human… that's almost impossible, isn't it?"
"After all, humans and Spirit Beasts are mortal enemies. And sacrifice means they can never be reborn. Spirit Beasts only sacrifice themselves to humans when they have no other choice. And usually, the relationship between them is very special…"
Qian Renfeng, who had always believed in Chen Ming, showed a doubtful expression.
Clearly, he found Chen Ming's idea hard to believe.
"If you want the Spirit Beasts to sacrifice themselves, that really is difficult."
"But if what you want is the Spirit Bone, then if the two of us act together, it isn't impossible."
"I'll handle control. My control can definitely hold a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast for a short time. And if Little Feng directly uses his ninth Spirit Ability and Spirit Bone Abilities, he can take that chance to kill the old turtle." Dugu Bo gave his own idea.
His Time Freeze and Medusa's Gaze were both top-level control abilities.
Now that his strength had greatly increased, the control power of these two abilities had also improved.
Back when he was only Level 91, he could already briefly hold a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast in place for a moment, making it show a small opening. He just could not hold it for long.
Now, with Dugu Bo's Level 95 cultivation, he could even control a true fierce beast for a short time.
That time would be enough for Qian Renfeng to attack several times, enough to kill it.
Since Level 91, Dugu Bo had always been the number one control Spirit Master on the continent. He was both the strongest poison control Spirit Master and the strongest hard-control Spirit Master.
His weakness back then was that his cultivation was not high enough, so he could not keep control for long. Also, his poison did not take effect instantly, and he did not have a skill that could deal huge damage all at once.
But now, Dugu Bo's weaknesses had already been filled.
