Soul Land 2: Huo Yuhao, Join Sun and Moon

Chapter 129: Return to Star Dou

For a moment, Di Qiu'er thought about fate.

Although she held a noble status among soul beasts and, unlike others, had no bottleneck at the 100,000 year mark, theoretically allowing her to live indefinitely, she still had one unavoidable tribulation to face.

She didn't know its form or timing, but she was sure it wouldn't be easy to overcome.

Could it be that a soul beast as powerful as the Snow Empress, with nearly 700,000 years of cultivation, also had a destined calamity to endure?

No, Heaven's Tribulation itself was already a calamity.

But did soul beasts of that level also have trials beyond divine tribulation?

Di Qiu'er fell into deep thought.

Despite her high status, she was still young by soul beast standards, so there was much she didn't understand.

She turned to Huo Yuhao and asked, "Senior Yuhao, soul spirits… they weren't invented by your teacher, were they? You're the true inventor. That makes you a once in a lifetime genius. But this is our first meeting, yet you're telling me something as important as the Snow Empress becoming a soul spirit?"

For a moment, Di Qiu'er was puzzled.

Wasn't Huo Yuhao trusting her too much?

By his own words, soul spirits granted soul bones upon fusion.

And with the Snow Empress' power, her soul bone would be incredibly valuable.

If word spread, Huo Yuhao would instantly become a target.

After all, Di Qiu'er didn't know if soul spirits could be inherited, but she did know that soul bones could.

Snow Empress' soul bone would be a treasure beyond compare.

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Di Qiu'er, this isn't our first meeting."

Her body tensed immediately.

In her human form, she had lost most of her past strength, making her extremely vulnerable.

If Huo Yuhao had recognized her, it meant he might capture her.

Di Qiu'er knew her identity was too important.

Even if the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineering Academy found out she was a soul beast, they wouldn't kill her after all, she was far more valuable alive.

But if that happened, it would endanger Ditian and the others.

Sensing her nervousness, Huo Yuhao reassured her, "I once came into contact with a soul beast from Star Dou Forest. From her, I obtained a special power of fate.

"This power caused my Spirit Eyes martial soul to mutate, allowing me to glimpse into the future. And in those visions, I saw you.

"The future I saw told me that you are my friend."

He deliberately avoided revealing her true identity.

Given her inexperience in the human world, Di Qiu'er was deeply afraid of being exposed.

If she felt threatened, she might flee back to Star Dou Forest immediately.

And that would ruin everything.

This was the dread of the unknown the fear of opening the box.

"Schrödinger's soul beast is truly terrifying."

Hearing this, Di Qiu'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she realized wasn't he just borrowing her power of fate?

So this ability of his was simply a byproduct of her own fate energy!

For a moment, she felt a little frustrated, as it reminded her of certain unpleasant experiences.

"By the way, Di Qiu'er, would you be interested in joining the Spirit Transmission Tower?" Huo Yuhao asked.

"Spirit Transmission Tower?"

"Yes, an organization dedicated to soul spirits. You could say… it's my creation."

Huo Yuhao patiently explained the concept of the Spirit Transmission Tower.

He was confident that Di Qiu'er's curiosity wouldn't allow her to refuse.

A moment later, Di Qiu'er nodded.

"Alright, I'll join the Spirit Transmission Tower."

She was fascinated by soul spirits.

Unlike soul rings, soul spirits had a different form and retained their intelligence.

This was undoubtedly a superior system.

To Di Qiu'er, soul spirits were a great thing for soul beasts.

If dying soul beasts could become soul spirits, then at least they could continue to exist in some form.

"Since you've chosen to join the Spirit Transmission Tower, I believe you have the right to witness the process of obtaining soul spirits."

Huo Yuhao then asked, "Would you like to see how soul spirits are created? There are some Spirit Transmission Tower members who need soul spirits, so I plan to take them away from the academy for a while. Want to come?"

He had finally revealed his true purpose.

Di Qiu'er's eyes lit up.

Being able to witness the creation of soul spirits was a rare opportunity.

It would help her understand their true nature.

She immediately agreed.

"Senior Yuhao, I'll go with you."

Huo Yuhao smiled internally.

"Success."

He would take Di Qiu'er, Jing Hongchen, and some Spirit Transmission Tower members to Star Dou Forest to acquire new soul spirits.

After all, Di Qiu'er was familiar with the forest, making her the perfect guide.

With her help, he could obtain rare and powerful soul spirits.

Of course, he wasn't worried about her reporting him to Ditian.

After all, she hadn't been in the human world for long.

If she exposed him, she'd expose herself too.

And even if Ditian learned about soul spirits, he wouldn't risk letting her remain among humans.

Compared to soul spirits, the safety of the Three Eyed Golden Lion was far more important.

"Alright, I'll gather the team now. We'll depart shortly."

Huo Yuhao was eager to reach Star Dou Forest and obtain his next soul spirit, allowing him to advance to Soul Ancestor.

This was a crucial step forward for him.

Di Qiu'er nodded.

Huo Yuhao led her toward the principal's office.

Star Dou Forest.

The sky was a pale blue, and not a cloud was in sight.

Chi Wang lay lazily on the grass, thinking about Ditian's latest stories from his world travels.

He had also studied human stories and was sure he could rewrite them as soul beast tales.

"A Soft Boned Rabbit crosses the ocean to reach a distant continent, where it meets a Man Faced Demon Spider and starts a love story in front of the Blue Silver Grass..."

Wait.

"No, no, no. The Man Faced Demon Spider has a terrible reputation. It should be the villain, not the protagonist."

He let out a deep sigh from all three of his heads.

"Sometimes, I wish I had only one head. That way, I wouldn't have to think up new stories every day for the Sacred Beast."

He didn't dislike the Sacred Beast, but he hated storytelling.

If only the other Great Beasts had more heads, then he wouldn't be the one suffering every day.

This was far harder than fighting Title Douluo!

He glanced toward the Sacred Beast's retreat and saw that she was still in seclusion.

"Good. That means I haven't failed my duty as a guardian."

As long as the Sacred Beast remained safe in Star Dou Forest, it would benefit all soul beasts.

"I wonder how long she'll stay in seclusion…"

Chi Wang sighed again.

"Hopefully, for a long time. That way, I'll have more time to prepare stories."

Just then, Huo Yuhao's group arrived at Star Dou Forest.
