Chapter 36: Teleportation, Lan Yue, Yang Wudi
Listening to the Titan Giant Ape's urging, "Demon Eye Evil Tree, how are you going to take us to the human world?"
The Azure Ox Python wasn't in a hurry and looked at the Demon Eye Evil Tree beside him.
He didn't want his brothers to fail in saving Sister Xiao Wu and get themselves trapped, especially Er Ming, who was too impulsive.
Furthermore, he didn't particularly trust the Demon Eye Evil Tree; the other party was merely a tool to be used.
If it weren't for the urgency of the situation, he wouldn't have sought them out.
"Aren't there excellent materials right here?"
"I will leave a portion of your consciousness in these bodies to control them. I will go with you, and as long as it's not too far, there won't be any problems."
The Demon Eye Evil Tree pointed at the soul masters on the ground whose memories he had just read.
One by one, they had already been treated as consumables. As an old soul beast that had lived in the Star Dou Great Forest for countless years, he didn't know how many human soul masters he had killed and had no pity for these guys.
"Da Ming, there won't be any danger..."
The Titan Giant Ape also felt that the other party's ability was very good.
And they wouldn't be in danger either.
It was just to gather information:
Once confirmed, the three of them would directly lead the soul beasts out of the Star Dou Great Forest. Could they not retrieve Sister Xiao Wu?
Mere human soul masters, he would swat them all dead with one slap. Even Title Douluo would be useless.
"The matter of the essence blood will be given to you when we return."
After listening to the other party's words, the Azure Ox didn't dwell on it and looked at the Demon Eye Evil Tree.
"No problem, we'll do as you say."
The Demon Eye Evil Tree didn't mind this.
If they went back on their word, he would have a reason to act. Even if Di Tian appeared, he would demand that they hand over the essence blood. Di Tian's ability to become a Beast God wasn't solely due to his strength; reason was quite useful in that regard.
As for them acting together and encountering an accident, that was even less likely.
He had been to the human world countless times.
Apart from a few strong individuals, everyone else in his eyes was food, no different from insects.
The three hundred-thousand-year soul beasts reached a consensus. Under the control of the Demon Eye Evil Tree, the originally dazed individuals slowly stood up.
Subsequently, each chose a body, and the three Soul Sages were selected.
After injecting their respective spiritual powers, they familiarized themselves with the bodies.
"Soul Saints are not weak in the human world."
"Remember, when you control these bodies, you can't unleash too much power. Don't act recklessly when things happen."
With them controlling the bodies, apart from the Demon Eye Evil Tree, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Ox Python couldn't hope to exert much power.
Their abilities didn't have much to do with spirit.
"Alright, alright, let's go."
Under the urging of the Titan Giant Ape, the three hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, controlling their Soul Saint avatars, swaggered out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Blue Silver City, on a rugged mountain peak.
At this moment, Lan Tian was unaware that a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest was planning to deliver itself to his doorstep.
In an underground room in the mountain manor, a simple, gray-white door stood in mid-air.
In front of it, Lan Tian continuously injected soul power. His appearance had now reverted to that of a sixty or seventy-year-old man, not as frail as he initially was, but still not very young.
The massive consumption of soul power caused the originally empty portal to 'shatter.'
Slowly, a somewhat stable space formed.
"This thing is truly difficult to open."
Looking at the teleportation gate in front of him, Lan Tian slightly calmed down and recovered his soul power.
After confirming the stability of the passage, he stepped towards the other side.
On the other side of the portal was a picturesque garden with towering trees, lush green grass, and groups of bees and butterflies fluttering in the distance. In the center was a huge, dark lake of unknown depth.
Under a tall tree with a full canopy, there was a similar portal.
As soon as the passage here began to form, someone had already discovered it, gathered people, and now there were people waiting here.
A slender, silver-haired woman with a delicate but cold face, wearing thin gold-rimmed glasses, and a middle-aged man holding a Soul Shattering Spear stood at the front. Behind them gathered more than twenty of their clansmen, the weakest of whom were Soul Emperors.
The group observed the passage and only relaxed their guard when they saw Lan Tian appear.
"Master."
"Grandpa."
Lan Yue and Yang Wudi, standing at the front, both showed a slight smile on their faces.
Although their appearance was not their usual state, the two still recognized him at a glance.
"Little Yue'er, Little Wudi."
Lan Tian left the teleportation gate, adjusted to the discomfort of passing through the spatial passage, and greeted the two.
Lan Yue was one of the more promising among his thousands of descendants, belonging to the third generation of the Lan family. She had innate soul power of level 9, a flexible mind, and at 56 years old, she was older than his youngest son, with a soul power of level eighty-five.
Her martial soul had changed after absorbing a piece of Space-Time Marrow Crystal he brought back from overseas, mutating to include spatial attributes.
This teleportation gate was also her research, as were some storage soul tools and various other items.
If she hadn't been researching these things from time to time, her soul power should have been higher than eighty-five. However, Lan Yue wasn't very interested in combat, so he simply let her be.
She didn't waste her talent and occasionally produced research results that benefited Blue Silver City.
As for Yang Wudi, he was abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect, then encountered trouble and was picked up by Lan Tian. Over the years, he had picked up quite a few people.
Apart from Yang Wudi, who brought some elites here to cultivate, guard, and research medicine, most of the ordinary members of the Breaking Clan actually lived in Blue Silver City.
It was precisely because of this that Yang Wudi had basically resigned from his position as the clan leader of the Breaking Clan and simply pledged allegiance to Lan Tian as his master.
As for the patriarch's position, it had been handed over to his younger brother, who was also serving Blue Silver City, just not to the extent of selling himself like Yang Wudi.
"Master, your soul power, has it broken through?"
"Title Douluo."
After Lan Tian arrived, Yang Wudi keenly sensed it, a look of joy on his face. His master's strength had grown stronger; he was a Title Douluo. Originally, his strength was already formidable, capable of defeating a Title Douluo as a Soul Douluo, and now it was even more so.
At this time, Yang Wudi's strength was actually not weak. After arriving here, he had made rapid progress and was already an eighty-ninth-level Soul Douluo, but it was difficult for him to break through due to his martial soul's limitations.
However, with his strength, he was not inferior to an ordinary Title Douluo.
But after years of research, he had made some progress regarding the martial soul's flaws.
After all, the medicinal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were incomparable to those outside.
"Grandpa, then Grandma Lan, sacrificed herself?"
Lan Yue heard this, her eyes flickered as she looked behind Lan Tian.
The teleportation gate's spatial passage slowly disappeared, and no other figure followed through.
It was basically confirmed.
"Yes."
"I came here this time to help her recover as quickly as possible."
"Little Yue'er, put your own matters aside for a bit and pay more attention to this."
Lan Tian commanded unceremoniously.
"No problem..."
Lan Yue was also someone who frequently had contact with Lan Tian.
Naturally, she had interacted with Little Lan, who was by his side, many times.
She had some feelings for her as well.
"Father."
While they were talking, a figure sensed their presence and arrived near them in a few instants. The newcomer was very old and thin, looking as if only bones remained. His hair was completely white, cascading like a waterfall down to his lower back, and his coarse cloth robe looked as if it had been worn for a long time, appearing somewhat dirty and disheveled.
