Chapter 407: Heading North with the Dragon Slaying Saber on His Back
Yu Tianlin already had a faint guess about the self-defense item Yu Yuanzhen had mentioned. So, when they returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Yu Yuanzhen personally handed it to him, Yu Tianlin was not surprised at all.
The so-called self-defense item Yu Yuanzhen gave Yu Tianlin was none other than the Dragon Slaying Saber.
Indeed, with Yu Tianlin's current strength, the only Divine Artifact that could truly protect him was the Dragon Slaying Saber.
With the Dragon Slaying Saber in hand, even if Yu Tianlin accidentally encountered Qian Daoliu, he would not be defeated quickly and could still hold on for a period of time.
Therefore, only when Yu Tianlin carried the Dragon Slaying Saber would Yu Yuanzhen feel somewhat at ease about his safety.
Thus, with the large Dragon Slaying Saber on his back, Yu Tianlin left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan alone and embarked on his path to becoming a Deity.
If Yu Tianlin wanted to become a Deity, one of the prerequisites was to raise his first Spirit Ring to the million-year level. However, his first Spirit Ring was currently only five hundred thousand years old, barely half of what was required.
If he wanted to quickly increase the age of his first Spirit Ring, Yu Tianlin would have to search for Spirit Beasts that could undergo Heavenly Tribulation and use the Spirit Beast Heavenly Tribulation to increase the age of his Spirit Ring.
When it came to the number of Spirit Beasts, the Star Dou Great Forest was naturally the richest place on the entire Douluo Continent. Under normal circumstances, Yu Tianlin would basically go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Spirit Beasts capable of attracting Heavenly Tribulation.
But now, there was indeed an unexpected situation that made Yu Tianlin abandon the idea of going there.
That situation was the Dragon Slaying Saber Yu Yuanzhen had given him.
Yu Tianlin knew that the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian were currently hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest. If he wandered around the Star Dou Great Forest with the Dragon Slaying Saber on his back, then leaving aside the Silver Dragon King, Di Tian would most likely be drawn out by him.
So, for Yu Tianlin, going to the Star Dou Great Forest right now would only be asking for trouble.
However, this was a trade-off. While the Dragon Slaying Saber gave him protection, it also made it inconvenient for him to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Forget it. If I can't go, then I can't go," Yu Tianlin said, shaking his head. "There probably aren't any Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that can undergo Heavenly Tribulation anyway."
Ten thousand years later, the reason the Star Dou Great Forest had so many Vicious Beasts was mainly because of the blessing of the Emperor Auspicious Beast and the absorption of Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's energy. Right now, neither of those existed. So, aside from Di Tian, there should not be any other Vicious Beasts with cultivation above two hundred thousand years in the Star Dou Great Forest.
After all, if there really were other Vicious Beasts, then the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape would not have become the kings of the Star Dou Great Forest so easily back then.
Similarly, judging by the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, the average Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest was probably still some distance away from undergoing Heavenly Tribulation.
"Since the Star Dou Great Forest is out, then I'll go to the Extreme North Land."
The largest Spirit Beast gathering place on the Douluo Continent was the Star Dou Great Forest. Second only to it was naturally the Extreme North Land. Therefore, with the Star Dou Great Forest inaccessible, the Extreme North Land became Yu Tianlin's first choice.
As far as Yu Tianlin knew, there were quite a few Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts in the Extreme North Land. There were definitely some that had reached the Vicious Beast level as well, which would certainly meet his needs.
With his goal decided, Yu Tianlin headed toward the northern part of the Douluo Continent.
At the same time, in Spirit City, inside Douluo Hall.
"Yu Yuanzhen's grandson left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan alone?"
After Qian Daoliu received this news, he stood with his back to the giant Seraphim statue, lost in thought.
"Renxue is now receiving the Legacy of the god of angels and is destined to become a Deity. The biggest obstacle on her path to godhood is that piece of angel god armor."
"That piece of angel god armor is in Yu Yuanzhen's hands. Forcibly taking it back would be troublesome, but if we start with his grandson, it should not be a problem. Yu Yuanzhen seems to dote on that grandson of his very much."
Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu directly summoned Gold Crocodile Douluo, hoping he would make a trip to capture Yu Tianlin alive.
How had that piece of angel god armor fallen into Yu Yuanzhen's hands? It had been exchanged by Yu Yuanzhen using Qian Renxue as a hostage.
So now, Qian Daoliu also planned to follow suit. He would capture Yu Tianlin and then use him as a hostage to exchange for that piece of angel god armor.
As for why he sent Gold Crocodile Douluo instead of going personally, the reason was simple.
Qian Renxue was currently undergoing the assessment of the god of angels, which was the highest priority for Qian Daoliu. If her assessment failed because he was absent, the loss would be unbearable. Therefore, it was best for him to remain by her side.
Moreover, Gold Crocodile Douluo's strength was also extremely great, only slightly inferior to Qian Daoliu's. For him to capture a young man alive should be effortless.
Gold Crocodile Douluo nodded at Qian Daoliu's request and accepted it without a word.
As the Second Consecrated Elder, Gold Crocodile Douluo also knew a little about Qian Renxue receiving a Deity Legacy, so he understood its importance and immediately set off to find Yu Tianlin.
According to the latest intelligence, Yu Tianlin was heading north, seemingly toward the Extreme North Land. Since that was the case, Gold Crocodile Douluo naturally had to go to the Extreme North Land as well.
Thus, two beings of extraordinary strength among human Spirit Masters both rushed toward the Extreme North Land. That land of eternal ice and snow was destined to be stirred by a new storm.
As Yu Tianlin headed north, the temperature grew lower and lower. However, with his cultivation, this low temperature had little effect on him, and his traveling speed did not slow because of it. Three days later, he arrived at Northern Frontier City of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Northern Frontier City appeared relatively prosperous because many Spirit Masters were active there, thriving under the Spirit Master economy.
The reason so many Spirit Masters lingered there was naturally because of the abundant Spirit Beast resources.
Of course, the Spirit Beast resources here did not refer to the Extreme North Land itself, but rather to the Frozen Forest on the outskirts of the Extreme North Land.
The Extreme North Land was known as a forbidden zone for humans, and very few Spirit Masters dared to enter it to hunt Spirit Beasts. At most, they would operate in the Frozen Forest on the outer perimeter.
After resting briefly in Northern Frontier City, Yu Tianlin filled his storage spirit tool with various supplies. Only then did he leave, officially stepping onto the land of the Extreme North.
Not long after Yu Tianlin left, an old man with white hair and beard entered Northern Frontier City, arriving right after him. It was the Second Consecrated Elder of Spirit Hall, Gold Crocodile Douluo.
After entering Northern Frontier City, Gold Crocodile Douluo went directly to the Spirit Sub-Hall there and obtained news about Yu Tianlin.
"Hmm, he really entered the Extreme North Land? What is he planning to do?"
"He left not long ago? Then I should still be able to catch up if I pursue him now."
"For me to personally take action, you, a young fellow, should feel proud."
Gold Crocodile Douluo did not delay. He quickly pursued in the direction Yu Tianlin had just left.
