Chapter 914 (2/2)
”Little Ice, your predecessor already ascended into the Divine Realm with that Spirit Ice Douluo, so you're the least qualified among everyone to be criticizing me!” the Beautiful Silk Tulip countered in an enraged manner.
Only then did Tang Wulin realize that this blue-robed young man was none other than the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Gra.s.s. His predecessor was one of the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao's soul spirits.
However, after receiving backlash from all of his friends, the Beautiful Silk Tulip had also fallen into deep thought. After a short while, he heaved a faint sigh and withdrew his purple aura before joining his friends again.
”Little Fire is right; this is an opportunity for everyone, and we've all been blinded by our greed. The Son of Nature does indeed present an immensely attractive opportunity for all of us. As such, in order to ensure fairness, I suggest we introduce our own abilities and let this Son of Nature choose for himself.”
As the monarch of the immortal plants, he had chosen to make this a fair contest in the end.
The six Great Beasts all turned to Tang Wulin in unison, and the Delicate Inferno Apricot Flower hurriedly introduced, ”I am the Delicate Inferno Apricot Flower, and I was born beside the yang half of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. I am a fire attribute plant of the highest caliber, and I've already told you how I'll benefit you if I were to become your soul spirit. Even though our attributes make it appear as if we're not very synergistic with one another, what I have to tell you is that Tang San once used my predecessor and Little Ice's predecessor to refine and strengthen his body through fire and ice. Even though our predecessors didn't become soul rings of his, they still helped him immensely.”
Refining one's body through fire and ice? This was the first time that Tang Wulin had ever heard of something like this.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Gra.s.s immediately chimed in, ”Exactly! I'm the direct opposite of Little Fire; I was born beside the yin half of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, and I'm an ice attribute plant of the highest caliber.”
The Great Beast that had been referred to as Momo made his self-introduction next. ”My name is Momo, and I'm a Blackjade Divine Bamboo that has already cultivated for 160,000 years. You and I will definitely haven fantastic synergy, and if you absorb me, the power of your martial soul will be bolstered significantly. I'll add a hard and unyielding side to your soft and supple vines, and all of your Bluesilver Emperor vines will be able to form peerlessly powerful Blackjade Bluesilver Spears. The combat prowess of your martial soul will be boosted dramatically as a result.”
The other two Great Beasts also stepped forward one after another, and the one on the left said, ”I am the Keen Gaze Dew, and Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao chose my predecessor to cultivate his Spirit Eyes and Purple Demon Eyes, thereby allowing him to attain extremely powerful abilities. I've only cultivated for 110,000 years thus far, but I've already transcended my first heavenly tribulation, so I'm still a Great Beast. If you absorb me, I'll be greatly beneficial to your Purple Demon Eyes.”
The final Great Beast was the most muscular among all six. ”I am the Land Dragon Golden Melon. I've cultivated for 190,000 years thus, and if you absorb me, you'll also be able to attain orange soul rings. All of us are Great Beasts, but only those of us who are close to their second heavenly tribulations can grant you orange soul spirits. I possess the power of land dragons and I'm an earth attribute plant. I can sense that you have an extremely powerful earth attribute soul bone on your body; if you fuse with me, your control over the power of earth will be enhanced to a ma.s.sive degree. Even the soul skills that come with that soul bone of yours will be enhanced significantly.”
The five Great Beasts had all completed their self-introductions, and it was finally the Beautiful Silk Tulip's turn. ”They're all telling the truth. Also, we're all Great Beasts who have attained intelligence, so no matter which one of us you choose, we'll provide you with a soul bone when you fuse with us during your next breakthrough. I think the ones among us that are most suitable for you are me, Momo, and Guagua. [Gua (瓜) is the Chinese character for melon, so he's referring to the Land Dragon Golden Melon by his nickname/pet name, which basically translates directly to melon melon.] I'm making these judgments while appraising this situation directly from your viewpoint.”
Tang Wulin fell silent upon hearing this. He was feeling quite spoiled for choice.
For a Soul Master, 100,000-year-old soul rings and soul bones could be considered as ultimate pursuits. However, there were currently six beings over 100,000 years of age willing to become his soul spirit, and they were lining up to be chosen by him. Such an occurrence had most likely never taken place in history, and he was really struggling to make a choice.
”Before I make my decision, would you be able to tell me why all of you hold me as the Son of Nature in such high regard? What kind of special meaning is there behind the concept of this Son of Nature?” Tang Wulin asked.
This was a question that had stumped even Atlas Douluo Yun Ming in the past, and it was clearly the ideal opportunity for him to receive an answer from these plant system Great Beasts.
The Beautiful Silk Tulip was silent for a moment before explaining, ”The Son of Nature is a seed that has been acknowledged by nature.”
”A seed?” Tang Wulin asked in a surprised manner.
The Beautiful Silk Tulip nodded, and continued, ”That's right, a seed. We also refer to the Son of Nature as the Seed of the Great Dao, and such seeds have only appeared an extremely limited number of times in history. Only when the core of nature on this continent has been damaged will a seed of nature be born, and that seed will become the future core of nature. In other words, when nature has been damaged too severely, the beings that stand at the pinnacle of the plant world would produce a seed and bestow it upon a Child of Nature. This Child of Nature will find opportunities to nurture this seed and restore the vitality of nature. The seed of nature can appear on any plant or animal, but this is the first time we've heard of it being bestowed upon a human.”
