Chapter 364 Do you know why Blue Silver Grass flies?
The difficulty in absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring lies mainly in the enormous energy it contains and the residual spirit beast's will.
Both physical and mental conditions must meet the requirements, otherwise, one will be devoured by the ten-thousand-year spirit ring.
The maximum absorption age for spirit masters summarized by Yu Xiaogang ten thousand years ago is greatly flawed, whether viewed from today's perspective or from ten thousand years ago.
Ten thousand years ago, because of Bibi Dong's existence, no one questioned it; those who dared to raise it in the Spirit Hall were probably suppressed by Bibi Dong.
Now, it is generally believed on the continent that Yu Xiaogang doesn't understand the absorption mechanism of spirit rings at all.
If he understood even a little about the mechanism, he wouldn't have summarized such a definite absorption age.
Theoretically speaking, a one-ring spirit master can reliably absorb a thousand-year spirit ring by absorbing a thousand-year spirit bone and a thousand-year whale glue.
Spirit rings below ten thousand years don't have much requirement for mental strength; they're not spirits.
The golden lion mastiff's spirit ring has been here for nearly two years.
It was killed by the heavenly tribulation triggered by the ten-thousand-year Thunderous Hell Vine, and the will within it had long since disappeared with the heavenly tribulation.
Heavenly tribulations don't play games with soul beasts; they strike relentlessly, leaving no trace of spirit or will.
In the Underworld, 100,000-year-old soul beasts are few in number, mostly killed by humans or their own kind. None have died from heavenly tribulations.
Those killed by heavenly tribulations leave not even their souls behind.
The Dragon God's move was truly ruthless.
Without any remaining will, absorbing the soul ring and soul bone was incredibly easy for Madmos.
As the possessor of ultimate power, his physique was unquestionable.
About two hours later, Madmos successfully absorbed the soul ring and soul bone, and Bai E opened his eyes around the same time.
About an hour earlier, seeing Madmos's absorption go so smoothly, Bai E confidently went to absorb the 100,000-year-old soul bone.
The two stood up, sensing the soul skills within their bodies, and then stretched their muscles and bones; the cracking sounds of their joints echoed through the valley.
There's not much to say about the soul bone skills Bai E obtained; they are Thunder Forest and Thunder Hell from the Thunderous Hell Vine.
After all, soul bones mainly depend on the soul beast itself.
As for why the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone's soul skills are flight... it's because Tang San and his old friend flew! That's why the Blue Silver Grass can fly.
After activating the Destruction Stance, both soul skills will be imbued with the power of destruction, transforming into Destruction Forest and Destruction Hell.
The two soul skills effectively compensated for Bai E's weakness in large-scale destructive abilities.
The soul rings and soul skills that Medemos acquired were quite interesting.
The torso bone of the golden lion mastiff granted him a soul skill called "Wild Instinct."
This soul skill can record bodily memories and combat techniques, driving the body to mimic past fighting styles even when the user loses willpower.
If Medemos were to die in the future, his soul would traverse the underworld, while his body could continue fighting enemies.
The golden lion mastiff's third soul ring granted him a soul skill called "Unyielding."
This grants the body a brief state of invincibility, with all soul power entering a burning, berserk state, increasing physical strength by 125%, health by 100%, and soul power consumption at twice the normal level.
The amplification increases with level.
These soul skills continue to propel Medemos down the path of a berserker, befitting his role as the strictest father among all power-attack type soul masters.
"You two, come over here.
You can choose two more immortal herbs."
Xiao Yan's voice rang in their ears. Bai E and Maidemus arrived at the back of the Thunderous Yanyu Vine Canyon.
Because of the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth, most of the immortal herbs grew here.
The herb garden in front of them dazzled Bai E and Maidemus.
"Partner, do you know what immortal herbs are?"
Bai E scratched his head. He didn't know much about immortal herbs; his knowledge was limited to what he had learned in textbooks.
Medemos shook his head and said,
"I don't know much about them. Shrek Academy only possesses knowledge of the seven immortal herbs that the original Seven Devils ate.
The knowledge of the remaining immortal herbs has not been passed down.
However, there was a Chrysanthemum Douluo ten thousand years ago who had great insights into related knowledge and even wrote many books.
However, these books were destroyed when the Spirit Hall was purged."
"HKS (bastards)
A bunch of brainless idiots who even burned their books.
No wonder they couldn't defeat the Sun Moon Empire back then."
Although Medemos was full of martial virtue, he had extreme respect for knowledge.
He knew that for a civilization to continue, it must have books that can carry knowledge.
A civilization that doesn't even respect knowledge is only one straw away from extinction.
Xiao Yan slightly shook her dark purple branches and leaves, making a rustling sound in the silent air. A soft female voice rang in their ears.
"Let me introduce them to you.
That immortal herb living in the shadows is called the Qiankun Immortal Herb, a spatial attribute immortal herb.
That bamboo is the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, and there's also the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd..."
There are twelve immortal herbs in total here, not as many as the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, but it is still a true blessed land on the continent.
After thinking for a moment, Bai E said to Xiao Yan:
"I'll take that Qiankun Immortal Herb."
"Teacher Tibao should need this."
Medemos glanced at him and said,
"You should choose the immortal herb you need now, historian."
"Think of yourself first."
Bai E smiled and scratched his head, saying,
"There aren't any immortal herbs I can use here. The Destruction Fire Seed and the Divine Trial are enough for me to develop.
Teacher Tibao has been busy organizing knowledge lately, and I have to trouble her every time before the monthly and midterm exams."
This was a lie. The Star Luo Spirit Pearl immortal herb was actually very suitable for Bai E, and it could significantly improve his spiritual power and light attribute.
Medemos couldn't help but sigh and looked at Xiao Yan, saying,
"Is there any immortal herb that can improve fire attribute, or one that can purify?"
Xiao Yan shook its leaves, its voice cheerful and light.
"Yes!"
"There is a piece of blazing glue from the Fiery Apricot Tree here, a very large piece, probably left by the 100,000-year-old Fiery Apricot Tree.
It can perfectly meet your requirements."
Medemos nodded decisively and said,
"I want this." Seeing that
both of them had made their choices, Xiao Yan didn't hesitate either.
Using her mental power, she retrieved the Blazing Apricot Delicate Gel that Huo Yuhao had stored in the rock wall.
Then, she gently broke off the stem of the Qiankun Immortal Grass, preserving the roots, and stored it in a jade box.
"The way to consume the Qiankun Immortal Grass is to eat the leaves first, then the heart.
The Blazing Apricot Delicate Gel has no special requirements; you can eat it directly.
Oh, and for simple purification, you only need to eat a little."
Bai E and Maidemus carefully stored the two immortal herbs into their storage soul tools.
Bai E bowed to Xiao Yan and said,
"Thank you for your help."
Xiao Yan gently shook the leaves, as if emitting a soft laugh.
"It's my duty; no need for thanks.
Before leaving, touch the stone sphere in the center of the valley; perhaps there will be a surprise."
The two were somewhat puzzled, but they didn't refuse Xiao Yan's suggestion.
Medemos and Bai'er arrived one after the other in the center of the valley.
There was indeed a huge stone sphere there, covered with incomprehensible runes that resembled lightning bolts.
Bai'er reached out and gently touched it; countless arcs of electricity surged across the surface. He swallowed hard, gritted his teeth, and touched it.
His hair immediately stood on end, his eyes widened, and he forced himself to remain calm, maintaining a composed expression as he released his hand, saying to Medemos,
"Uh, it doesn't seem to have any effect.
Medemos, you should try it too." Medemos
looked at Bai'er, whose hair was standing on end, with suspicion and said,
"Are you sure it's okay?"
Bai'er patted his chest and said,
"Trust me! Partner!"
"Heh." Medemos
sneered, ignoring the idiot. Having been tricked by this guy so many times, he could see right through him.
Nevertheless, Medemos still reached out to touch the stone sphere.
Unlike Bai'e earlier, this time the stone sphere didn't release lightning, calmly awaiting Medemos's hand.
When Medemos placed his hand on the sphere, it seemed to trigger some mechanism; the lightning runes on the sphere flashed, and a lightning mark appeared on Medemos's palm before quickly disappearing.
The little head above the valley moved its leaves without wind, silently watching the two.
Medemos and Bai'e studied the stone sphere for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was. Bai'e didn't understand why he was shocked when he touched it, while Medemos wasn't.
Considering it was getting dark, the two didn't linger. After thanking Xiao Yan again at the foot of the valley, They left together.
Bai E couldn't touch the stone sphere because he was the heir to destruction.
Medemos, on the other hand, was given the Thunder God's mark, which allowed him to temper his body and subtly influence the Thunder God's divine position.
The Thunder God's divine position had been nourished by Huo Yuhao's faith for a year and had gradually recovered. Using alchemy, Huo Yuhao created this stone sphere.
The Thunder God's mark was Huo Yuhao's experiment with divine positions; the holder of the mark would influence the divine position.
When the Magic Network game section opened in the future, Huo Yuhao would add the same Thunder God's mark to the core of the game section.
Afterwards, the plan to contend for the divine position would proceed as scheduled, allowing countless players to change the Thunder God's divine position through the Thunder God's mark. When the conflicting divine positions descended, a battle would begin, and only the undefeated could bear the conflict and inherit the divine position.
As for the Thunder God's mark on Medemos's hand, consider it a little favoritism from a stubborn but soft-hearted god towards his child.
