Chapter 133: in Human Form—Seeks Help from Bibi Dong
Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had never experienced a Heavenly Tribulation its combat power was extremely low.
However as a soul beast with 990,000 years of cultivation it still had a strong ability to protect itself and actually escaped from its natural enemy.
Even if it killed the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm it would probably like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King secretly preserve its remnant soul.
Based on the direction given by Hyotei regarding the escape route of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm it should have escaped from the sea.
Qi Tian didn't expect to be able to successfully hunt down Tianmeng Ice Silkworm with just the Ice Emperor beast so he prepared to ask for outside help.
...
In Bibi Dong's room in Spirit City.
At midnight she was still resting in her room when Qi Tian woke her up.
Qi Tian used his split soul to communicate with Bibi Dong preparing to ask her for help in intercepting the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
As a spirit beast with both spiritual and ice attributes the best choice to deal with the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was undoubtedly Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor could also be considered the nemesis of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
Moreover if Bibi Dong's Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor were present Qi Tian wouldn't need to fear Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's backup plan.
Otherwise it would be bad if the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm were to peel away its soul essence and leave it in the Ice Emperor's spiritual sea.
"Besides the Deep Sea Demon Whale King there are other 990,000-year-old soul beasts? Are you sure?" Bibi Dong asked in surprise.
She had gone out to sea to hunt sea spirit beasts in her earlier years so she had naturally heard about the stories of the Demon Whale Sea.
If she were a Sea Soul Master she would probably also try to get her hands on the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's spirit ring.
After all the higher the age of the spirit ring the greater the power of the spirit skill and no spirit master could resist such temptation.
However her fighting ability was reduced in the sea so she gave up the idea of hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"I'm sure but that soul beast hasn't experienced the Heavenly Tribulation; it's just good at escaping. We don't need to be afraid of it," Qi Tian said.
"There are actually soul beasts like this?"
"Then its spirit rings must be very powerful right? You still have empty spirit ring slots on your twin spirits right?" Bibi Dong became interested.
"I can't absorb its spirit ring. Only spiritual spirits can absorb its spirit ring; other spirit masters will just be overwhelmed and exploded by its energy."
He also really wanted the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's nearly million-year-old spirit ring which was a 990,000-year-old wisdom spirit ring.
At this time Tianmeng had not yet been used as a power bank by the soul beasts of Star Dou Great Forest. The energy accumulated in her body was enormous. Even a Titled Douluo would not dare to easily absorb her soul ring let alone Qi Tian.
"So we hunt it down for its soul bone?" Bibi Dong asked.
Qi Tian said, "I made a deal with the ferocious beast in the far north. We will help her hunt down that soul beast and she will give us the method to condense a soul core."
"A ferocious beast from the far north?" Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes. "Is it a transformed soul beast? Like me possessed by your soul?"
Qi Tian fell silent and Bibi Dong sighed but there was nothing she could do to change anything.
She wanted to stop Qi Tian from continuing his womanising ways and the only solution was to become a god as soon as possible and bring him to the divine realm.
He couldn't very well harass those female deities could he?
"What is a soul core?" Bibi Dong asked.
The current Soul Masters hadn't figured out a way to condense a soul core yet so Qi Tian could only explain it to Bibi Dong.
The soul core was formed from the transformation of soul power.
After condensing the soul core although the total amount of soul power did not change much the quality and recovery speed of the soul power would greatly increase.
The Mysterious Heaven Art also had a similar effect namely the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and the Five Qi Returning to the Origin. Bibi Dong should have reached this level.
"Okay I'll set off right away!" Bibi Dong said.
To ensure a successful interception Bibi Dong summoned the Fourth and Fifth Priests and they headed northwest.
Their cultivation levels were exceptional and they travelled very quickly so Qi Tian had nothing to worry about.
He was currently focused on using the Ice Emperor's body to continue his pursuit of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Over there! The traces of that insect can't escape my eyes!" Hyotei said.
The Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion clan was the natural enemy of the Ice Silkworm clan feeding on Ice Silkworms and other creatures.
Hunting ice silkworms was her innate skill which was why she was able to find the traces of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
Qi Tian chased after the direction in which Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had fled while contacting Bibi Dong to ask her to adjust the interception direction.
The group moved very fast and by the time dawn broke Qi Tian had already crossed the icy ocean and arrived in the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs.
"Damn it it's actually run into the human world how am I supposed to catch it?" Hyotei was somewhat troubled.
"Can you transform into human form? That way you won't be so conspicuous!" Qi Tian asked.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm possessed mental interference abilities so it didn't need to fear being discovered when it entered human society.
It would only be discovered if it encountered a Soul Master with a high level of spiritual cultivation.
"Okay I'll teach you how to transform!" Hyotei said.
Just as the sea spirit beast the Demon Soul Great White Shark could transform into human form when it came ashore Hyotei also had a corresponding transformation method.
However in her human form she was unable to unleash her full power.
"Okay teach me quickly!" Qi Tian said.
Hyotei taught Qi Tian her transformation technique and Qi Tian activated the energy within her body successfully transforming into human form.
Qi Tian reached out and found that his two large front claws had disappeared replaced by a pair of slender white hands.
He habitually touched his chest; it was as soft as a human's but a little cold to the touch.
"What are you doing?" Hyotei asked.
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years it wasn't ignorant; it naturally understood what Qi Tian's actions represented.
Qi Tian gave an embarrassed smile and released his hands.
"It's nothing I just wanted to check if there were any problems with your transformed body."
"Hmph! Filthy humans!" Hyotei cursed.
Qi Tian reached out and pointed and a smooth opaque block of ice appeared in front of him.
Through the ice mirror Qi Tian finally saw what the Ice Emperor looked like in human form.
Her stunningly beautiful face was both delicate and aloof with four emerald-green demonic patterns on her fair cheeks and a head of emerald-green hair cascading down her back.
Her skin beneath her turquoise dress was snow-white and translucent with occasional turquoise shimmering beneath making her look like a bewitching enchantress.
It had a unique flavour.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and chase after it that bug is about to get away!" Hyotei said.
If it were just her alone she probably wouldn't have continued chasing after him after reaching this point.
But with the help of a human soul she found that she didn't seem so resistant to entering the human world.
"Don't worry it can't escape. Besides the human form you transformed into is quite pretty!" Qi Tian said.
Hyotei was taken aback. It seemed to be the first time she had been praised for her beauty and for some reason she felt a strange sensation in her heart.
"I wish the Snow Empress would praise me like that!" the Ice Empress thought.
Qi Tian changed direction and chased after it in the southeast.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm would eventually enter Star Dou Great Forest where it would be used as a power bank by the ferocious beasts hiding in the dimensional space.
Spirit City was located right on the edge of Star Dou Great Forest so Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't escape.
