Chapter 137: Mental Power Enhancement
"This 990,000-year-old soul beast is really alive!"
Qi Tian looked at the somewhat comical remnant soul of Tian Meng and felt a pang of emotion.
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King was even more terrifying; its remnant soul might even usurp the position of the Sea God.
If Tianmeng survived the tribulation of the ferocious beast then its soul would probably be able to transform into a divine soul right?
However he did not intend to accept Tianmeng. Even ten thousand years later Qi Tian did not like the opportunity of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
The thought that it could use its powerful mental strength to probe and copy its master's memories made Qi Tian feel extremely uncomfortable.
Even a sage's thoughts and memories were inevitably filled with unsightly things—let alone a commoner like Qi Tian.
In his past life he always used incognito mode when using a browser—so how could he allow others to peek into his sordid memories in this life?
Even if the spy was a soul beast—it was still not allowed!
However Tianmeng Ice Silkworm had only recently crawled out of the Ice Abyss and was unaware of the various schemes and calculations of the human world.
So Qi Tian wasn't in a hurry and prepared to chat with it for a while.
"You also want to become my soul?" Qi Tian asked.
"Yes—yes—Master—Tianmeng is willing to acknowledge you as her master and serve you!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm seemed to have seen a way out.
Even if it survived it would still have to endure the Heavenly Tribulation of ferocious beasts ten thousand years later—and that tribulation would be superimposed with ten layers of heavenly tribulation.
With its meagre abilities it was no match for the heavenly tribulation; only death awaited it.
And becoming the soul of this human genius before it might even give it the chance to ascend to the divine realm and become a god.
As a useless creature that ate and slept—how could it not know how to choose?
"Then tell me—what is this crystal? I don't accept waste here!" Qi Tian said.
Tianmeng naively thought that Qi Tian was testing it—so it quickly told her everything it knew.
"Master—the source of my ice elemental energy is all within my body."
"And my spiritual essence has condensed into this crystal. If the master absorbs it—his spiritual power can grow!"
Qi Tian's eyes lit up. He didn't have a specific cultivation method for spiritual power—unlike Tang San who had the Purple Demon Eye to cultivate.
Tianmeng's spiritual essence crystal could enhance his spiritual power and make up for his deficiencies.
"How do we absorb this crystal?" Qi Tian asked.
Tianmeng's remnant soul—still unaware of the wickedness of human nature—revealed the method of absorption to Qi Tian.
"Master—absorbing this crystal is like absorbing a soul bone."
"However human soul masters absorb soul bones using soul power—but to absorb this crystal they need to place it between their eyebrows and then input their spiritual power."
Qi Tian suddenly realised why the crystal hadn't reacted when he inputted his soul power.
It was somewhat similar to the Heart of the Sea God. If you inputted soul power the Heart of the Sea God was just an ordinary soul tool.
If you inputted your spiritual power the Heart of the Sea God became a divine artifact—and it eventually merged with the Wisdom Soul Bone of the Tang God King.
Qi Tian took the crystal in his hand and said to Xiao Wu "Xiao Wu—I'm entrusting it to you!"
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. She had just sensed that she could absorb the power of the remnant soul of Tianmeng to enhance herself.
In her eyes the remnant soul of Tianmeng was like a delicious meal—making her mouth water just looking at it.
"Master—I am a 990,000-year-old soul beast—while she is only a 100,000-year-old soul beast. She should be handed over to me to discipline!"
Tianmeng misunderstood Qi Tian's meaning—but Xiao Wu did not.
"Hmph! You fat worm—you think you can be your sister Xiao Wu's superior? You're asking for trouble!"
Xiao Wu directly used the power of the Undead Contract to continue devouring the remnant soul of Tianmeng and improve her cultivation.
"What are you doing? Master—save me! She's going to use torture and eat me!" Tianmeng cried out.
But when it found that Qi Tian did not respond it begged Xiao Wu for mercy.
"Sister Xiao Wu—I'm not going to be your superior anymore. Please stop. If this continues my soul will dissipate."
"We should all help the Lord so that he can become stronger and even have the possibility of becoming a god!"
"Spare me…"
Soon after Tianmeng's remnant soul fell silent—while Xiao Wu's soul became even more solid.
Her body seemed so real—with fair skin a rosy face and a scorpion braid that cascaded down to her delicate white heels…
"No wonder she's one of the top beauties in Douluo Continent!" Qi Tian thought to himself.
He also felt that the spirit rings of his spirit had changed.
His two red spirit rings were actually tinged with orange-gold—evolving into spirit rings of ferocious beasts.
However Tianmeng was after all a remnant soul—and a large part of her power was absorbed by Bibi Dong—while Xiao Wu only obtained a portion of it.
Moreover when a spirit devoured another spirit to increase its cultivation it suffered considerable losses.
Therefore Qi Tian's spirit ring did not completely evolve into a 200,000-year spirit ring.
Xiao Wu walked up to Qi Tian with satisfaction. "Qi Tian—thank you—I feel like I've become stronger!"
As a spirit she could use the skills of Qi Tian's two spirit rings—and she also had a certain chance of possessing skills herself.
After absorbing Tianmeng she naturally became stronger.
"Congratulations—Xiao Wu!" Qi Tian praised her generously.
As a spirit Xiao Wu would accompany him for life—so getting along well with her would not do him any harm.
"Hehe—Qi Tian—don't worry—I will definitely do my best to help you become a god!" Xiao Wu said.
Qi Tian smiled and handed her the Spirit Origin Crystal.
"Xiao Wu—you've become stronger now. Can you help me check this crystal and see if there's any backup plan involving that insect?"
"Okay!" Xiao Wu took the crystal and began to examine it carefully.
She had just devoured Tianmeng's remnant soul and was extremely familiar with Tianmeng's soul imprint; Tianmeng's backup plan could not escape her eyes.
"Qi Tian—this crystal is fine now—do you want to absorb it?" Xiao Wu asked.
Qi Tian nodded. "Okay—Xiao Wu—you'll protect me!"
Now that the crystal was fine Qi Tian could safely absorb it to enhance his spiritual power.
Qi Tian placed the crystal between his eyebrows and infused it with his spiritual power.
In this era most Soul Kings were unable to project their spiritual power out of their bodies.
At most during their breakthroughs their mental energy would be released uncontrollably causing some fluctuations.
However Qi Tian's spiritual power far surpassed that of ordinary soul masters—and he also absorbed a 100,000-year-old wisdom soul bone.
Therefore he could easily project his spiritual energy into this crystal.
When the crystal came into contact with the spiritual power inputted by Qi Tian it was like a soul bone slowly merging into his skin and entering his spiritual sea.
Before long Qi Tian saw a scorching crystal appear in his spiritual sea.
It continuously nourished Qi Tian's ocean of spiritual power strengthening Qi Tian's spiritual power.
Another portion of the power gradually merged into Qi Tian's head soul bone improving the quality of this soul bone.
In that instant Qi Tian's spiritual power surged forth creating an energy vortex in Zhu Zhuqing's house.
At the same time his mental energy spread outwards.
Using the Blue Silver Domain he "saw" the conversation between the two sisters in Zhu Zhuyun's nearby home.
He also saw Ling Yuan Douluo who was hiding in the shadows protecting Zhu Zhuqing.
