Not only the Beautiful Silk Tulip, but the gazes of the other immortal herbs also eventually fell on Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena. Their spiritual powers simultaneously swept over, but dissolved into nothingness before reaching the two.
The Beautiful Silk Tulip gradually furrowed its brow, secretly communicating with its companions through spiritual power.
"These two youths, I actually can't see through them?"
"Me neither."
"They are probably the most notable core figures in this group."
Beautiful Silk Tulip's gaze was solemn, "These two might actually gain the recognition of the immortal herbs."
There are many secret techniques to conceal one's cultivation, but among them are a 200, 000-year-old fierce beast! At such a level of cultivation difference, even secret techniques can't hide it, let alone resist their spiritual power probing.
Infernal Delicate Apricot coldly snorted: "As long as those few powerhouses don't forcibly plunder our essence, they can do whatever they want. After all, these humans can at most take a few 100,000-year immortal herbs, and it won't shake the foundation of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye."
On the other side, Huo Yuhao naturally noticed the probing of the immortal herbs, but he didn't pay it any mind. He simply transmitted a message to Gu Yuena beside him, "Na'er, are you interested in the immortal herbs here?"
Gu Yuena's gaze swept around, and she eventually shook her head slightly, "The quality of the immortal herbs here is good, but they don't hold much significance for me. My power is already pure enough, and I don't need external assistance."
"Since we're here, why not take one? It could also help you recover faster."
Huo Yuhao patted Gu Yuena's hair, saying this as he looked towards Xu Xiaoyan and the others who hadn't moved, hesitating. "No target?"
Xie Xie nodded, somewhat helplessly looking at the seven immortal herb spirit beasts. "Those seven clearly don't want to pay attention to us. Even the three from Shrek Academy are at a loss now."
The other side only mentioned that there were over a dozen 100,000-year immortal herbs, and said nothing more. They didn't even tell them the locations of those herbs, let alone what they were, clearly just watching the show.
There are so many herbs in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, and they haven't specifically learned how to identify them, so naturally, they're at a loss.
Hearing this, Huo Yuhao released his spiritual power to probe the surroundings.
In an instant, a vast and profound spiritual pressure enveloped the entire Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, and all the immortal herbs were started.
"Spirit Abyss Realm?! This... this is impossible!" Infernal Delicate Apricot's body trembled violently, its fiery red leaves rustling without wind, its voice filled with disbelief. "How old is he?"
Humans with Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power are naturally something they've seen before, but pairing such a young age with the Spirit Abyss Realm is just bizarre.
The crystal-clear leaves of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass shimmered with cold light, its voice as heavy as if it were about to freeze, "Not just entering the Spirit Abyss Realm... his spiritual power is even stronger than mine, almost reaching the late stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm."
Beautiful Silk Tulip also frowned, but he quickly calmed down, looking towards Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew who was staring intently at Huo Yuhao. "You want to choose him?"
After a long struggle, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew finally admitted it.
"His martial soul is of the spiritual attribute, and his spiritual power has already reached the Spirit Abyss Realm. He is the best choice for me."
Spiritual power increases with cultivation level and age. Now, approaching the late stage of the Spirit Abyss Realm, breaking through to the Spirit Domain Realm in the future is almost a certainty.
Moreover, the moment Huo Yuhao released his spiritual power, his true cultivation level was also revealed, Level 57 Spirit King.
With such a cultivation speed, as long as he doesn't encounter any accidents, Huo Yuhao will undoubtedly become a Limit Douluo in the future. For her, there is no more suitable contract partner than Huo Yuhao.
Hearing this, the immortal herbs fell silent.
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew could no longer survive the next heavenly tribulation. At most, in a hundred years, her heavenly tribulation will descend. Seeing a suitable candidate, they weren't surprised by her choice.
Moreover, even from their perspective, they couldn't find any fault with Huo Yuhao's cultivation progress.
"But he's from the Spirit Pagoda."
"It's the same. After all, there are legacy spirit souls everywhere now. Where isn't the same? It's just that I won't be able to come back to see you all."
Infernal Delicate Apricot frowned, "Have you really thought it through?"
For high-intelligence spirit beasts, becoming a spirit soul requires careful consideration.
No matter how well the contract holder treats the spirit soul, their actions are ultimately restricted once they become a spirit soul.
There's also the possibility of the spirit master dying accidentally before having time to dissolve the contract, causing the spirit soul to dissolve along with them. In that case, their lives would no longer be in their own hands, so they must think carefully.
This is also why stronger spirit souls have higher requirements for their contract holders, the spirit master's ability to survive is also a guarantee for these spirit souls.
And Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew felt that she had already thought it through, or rather...
"I don't want to miss this opportunity again. Following this youth, I might be able to catch a glimpse of the realm of deities, even if only a part."
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's words stir the hearts of the immortal herbs, their expressions complex.
In fact, several decades ago, a few good candidates had come to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye, but at that time, they only adhered to the spirit of past contracts, giving them 100,000-year immortal herbs without considering transforming themselves into spirit souls.
By the time those people reached the pinnacle, it was too late to regret.
Now, with Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew bringing this up, they were filled with countless thoughts.
"Atlas Douluo's cultivation speed was fast, but he couldn't possess such a spiritual power realm at this moment. With my assistance, this youth's spiritual power growth speed will be unparalleled, reaching unprecedented heights. The possibility of him achieving divine consciousness in the future is not small."
"In this era, one cannot become a deity. Having a part of oneself reach the realm of deities is the pinnacle. Since I'm going to become a spirit soul anyway, I also want to see that world!"
As Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's words stirred the hearts of the spirit beasts, Huo Yuhao also finished probing the situation in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye and gave a few suggestions to the group.
"Among the 100, 000-year immortal herbs, the most suitable for Xiaoyan is the Star Lou Holy Pearl, which aids in the enhancement of the astrological attribute."
"The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, a neutral immortal-grade herb, eating it strengthens the limbs... can train an indestructible body, quite effective for Wulin."
"The Nine Treasure Purple Zoysia, consuming it can strengthen the bones and muscles, solidify the foundation and cultivate the essence. If used by a dragon-type spirit master, it can also cleanse the marrow and stimulate the potential of the bloodline. Jin Xi, you can give it a try."
After saying this, Huo Yuhao looked towards Xie Xie and Zhang Yangzi. "Eight Petal Immortal Orchid and Origin Energy Immortal Grass are both excellent herbs for enhancing spirit power. Among them, Eight Petal Immortal Orchid has a prolonged medicinal effect, better for increasing the speed of spirit power cultivation, and can last until the Spirit Sage level.
Xie Xie, you can find it.
Your martial soul still has the possibility of evolving, but that opportunity requires you to have a certain understanding of your martial soul.
First, cultivate to the Soul Saint level, and pay attention to concentrating on your perception along the way."
The Space-Time Dragon martial soul requires Xie Xie to reach a certain level of understanding of space and his own martial soul before awakening. It's not a simple martial soul evolution, but more dependent on Xie Xie himself.
However, he could give Xie Xie the method of condensing a spirit core from the past. If he can achieve that, the possibility of Xie Xie awakening the Space-Time Dragon will increase.
Xie Xie was somewhat puzzled, but his trust in Huo Yuhao made him not think too much about it. He nodded in agreement, "I understand."
At the same time, Zhang Yangzi also knew his target. "I'll go find the Origin Energy Immortal Grass?"
"Yes."
Huo Yuhao nodded. "Origin Energy Immortal Grass is a treasure for enhancing spirit power. If a spirit master consumes it, not only will their spirit power increase significantly, but they will also gain Origin Qi."
"Although Origin Qi will limit the spirit master's opportunity to consume other immortal herbs, it can bring a powerful enhancement to spirit power, at least increase the spirit master's spirit power by forty percent, and even the power of spirit can be enhanced. But the main reason I suggest you choose it is…"
"I understand, because of my martial soul fusion skill with Jin Xi." Zhang Yangzi smiled. "With my spirit power enhanced so much, the power of our martial soul fusion skill will also increase significantly."
As for not being able to use other immortal herbs after using the Origin Energy Immortal Grass?
Such opportunities are rare to begin with, and getting one is already good enough. Moreover, they haven't even obtained the immortal herbs yet, so talking about this is too early.
But Zhang Yangzi had a strange feeling. From Huo Yuhao's tone, it seemed like he had a way for them to obtain these immortal herbs.
After speaking with Zhang Yangzi, Huo Yuhao looked towards Gu Yuena. "Na'er, you can go get the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone."
Gu Yuena met his gaze and nodded slightly.
As Yuhao said, since we're here, why not take one? Maybe it will taste good?
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao smiled slightly and added one last thing, "Of course, those seven strongest ones are also good choices."
"I don't dare to hope for that. With their attitude just now, how could they possibly…"
Just as Xu Xiaoyan was about to complain, she suddenly noticed that one of the seven figures was walking straight towards them.
Seeing this, Ye Xinglan and the others also stopped in surprise.
This is...
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew came before Huo Yuhao and spoke solemnly, "I am willing to become your spiritual soul."
Huo Yuhao looked at Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew in surprise, raising an eyebrow. "Why choose me?"
"Because you are the most suitable spirit master I have seen in the past ten thousand years."
Spiritual attribute, Spirit Abyss Realm spiritual power, potential to reach the Spirit Domain Realm... and he appeared just before her heavenly tribulation.
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew felt this was fate, everything was just right. If she didn't take the initiative, wouldn't she be wasting this opportunity? (Mu Ye: Agreed!)
With this thought, her tone changed: "I am Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, most adept in spiritual power. Merging with me will greatly benefit your spiritual power growth. With my 190, 000 years of cultivation foundation, I can push you to the peak of the Spirit Abyss Realm, even half-step into the Spirit Domain Realm."
She wasn't exaggerating her effects. The bottleneck of spiritual power is the hardest to break through, especially the barrier between the Spirit Abyss Realm and the Spirit Domain Realm. After all, the Spirit Domain Realm is the hallmark of a Limit Douluo, a realm she herself has yet to reach.
"Moreover, merging with me can also increase your spirit power by three levels, providing you with several 100, 000-year spirit rings. As a contract exchange, you only need to leave descendants in the future and give me the status of a legacy spirit soul. What do you think?"
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's gaze was intense as she looked at Huo Yuhao, treating him as an equal in her words, negotiating on equal terms.
Huo Yuhao stroked his chin, glancing at the six immortal herbs in the distance with complex expressions, and did not refuse.
"Alright."
Hearing this, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew immediately showed joy, but then she heard Huo Yuhao's next words.
"Let's merge here. I'm from the Spirit Pagoda and can complete the spirit soul contract on my own. As a 100, 000-year immortal herb, I presume you can transform yourself into a spirit soul, right?"
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew paused, her gaze meeting Huo Yuhao's calm eyes, and she began to speculate.
He's from the Spirit Pagoda. Is he worried that the Tang Sect won't allow him to take me away from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye?
Once the rice is cooked... fine.
Xu Xiaoyan stared dumbfounded as Huo Yuhao and Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew quickly reached an agreement, and watched as Huo Yuhao walked towards Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's main body and began to absorb and contract, her mind in chaos.
It's done? Both sides didn't even consider further?
Are you so sure the other is suitable?
Xie Xie was also shocked, but he quickly remembered something else. "Boss Huo's spiritual power is at the Spirit Abyss Realm, but he's already absorbed with two 10, 000-year spirit souls. In this situation, absorbing with a 100, 000-year immortal herb spirit soul is really okay?"
Under the circumstances of the Spirit Abyss Realm merging with a 100, 000-year or fierce beast spirit soul, merging with other spirit souls is equivalent to the Spirit Sea Realm. Boss Huo has two 10, 000-year spirit souls, and now absorbing with a 100, 000-year spirit soul is a bit much, right?
"Yuhao naturally has his own assurance. The steps to absorb with an immortal herb spirit soul are different from contracting other spirit souls. The immortal herb will first integrate most of its foundation into the spirit master's body before forming the contract."
Gu Yuena walked towards Huo Yuhao while explaining. "According to Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, she can help Yuhao reach the half-step Spirit Domain Realm. As long as she restrains some of her cultivation, the merge can be completed."
"I'll protect him. Don't worry, go find the immortal herbs Yuhao mentioned and see if you can increase their recognition."
Xu Xiaoyan, Tang Wulin, and the other three exchanged glances and finally followed Gu Yuena's advice to search for the immortal herbs.
They all knew how much Gu Yuena cared for Huo Yuhao. If she said it was fine, then it definitely was.
Meanwhile, with Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew taking the initiative, several drops of dew-like liquid poured into Huo Yuhao's mouth.
Huo Yuhao felt a sweet sensation instantly slid down his throat, and a fresh, fragrant aroma quickly spread, filling every corner of his body. A cool sensation permeated his entire body, and as time passed, that sensation began to gather towards his head.
In his spiritual sea, the originally calm sea surface began to surge. A silver light cluster transformed from Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew's essence floated in the center, emitting gentle ripples. With each undulation, his spiritual power rapidly increased.
At the same time, as the contract was completed, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew continuously integrated her own foundation into Huo Yuhao's body, and his spirit power also increased.
As Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew had thought, Huo Yuhao's spiritual power increased until the half-step Spirit Domain stopped Realm before the growth completely. His spirit power level also reached Level 60, becoming a quasi-Spirit Emperor, only needing one more spirit ring to become a true Spirit Emperor.
So, who should provide this spirit ring?
Of course, it should be provided by Huo Yuhao's "strongest" spirit soul, herself.
Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew smiled slightly, her spirit body flying out of the immortal herb and completely merged into Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea.
But at that moment, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew noticed that Huo Yuhao's spiritual power underwent another astonishing change.
Crack!
A sound as if some shackle had been broken rang out deep within the soul.
Huo Yuhao's perception instantly covered the entire Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye and continued to expand outward.
The elements in the air resonated with him, as if they would gather at his command. The breathing of each immortal herb, the flow of every strand of spiritual energy, were as clear as the lines on his palm under his spiritual power probing.
But this time, none of the immortal herbs noticed this probing.
This is...
"The Spirit Domain Realm, the true Spirit Domain Realm!" Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew trembled violently in the spiritual sea.
She had witnessed Huo Yuhao's spiritual power, after breaking through the half-step Spirit Domain, not only not stopping but continuing to climb with a fierce momentum, the bottleneck that had troubled millions of spirit masters for their entire lives was pierced through like thin paper in front of this youth!
It was as if Huo Yuhao had experienced the Spirit Domain Realm before, directly stepping over that threshold with his own experience, but how could that be?!
