Compress the rapidly surging spirit power.
This was not only to solidify his foundation but also to prepare for condensing his Soul Core later.
Douluo's settings were a bit messy.
The Soul Core was one of them.
However, this thing was still very important, after all, Douluo Dalu 2 didn't have the battle power bonus of Battle Armor, and it also concerned breaking through to Titled Douluo and Limit Douluo.
An Zhen didn't have to worry about his soul power, but his spirit power cultivation and body would have to rely on himself.
Twelve years old, Rank 44 Spirit Ancestor!
After all, most of the Fire Dragon King's Spirit Bone and Snow Empress's energy were sealed.
When he used to read novels, he would get annoyed seeing those who instantly jumped 99 ranks with a single strike, but now that he had transmigrated, and it was happening to him, he wished he could become a Titled Douluo in one day and a God King in two.
But true cultivation still had to be done step by step.
He had absorbed quite a few good things recently, first the Fire Dragon King's Spirit Bone, then the Snow Empress's Soul Spirit, spirit ring, Spirit Bone, and there were still Immortal Herbs he hadn't eaten.
When contracting the Soul Spirit, relying on the previously sealed Fire Dragon King's Spirit Bone energy and the Ice-Fire Yin-Yang Ball's energy within the Virtual World, the Snow Empress, who was only a few hundred years away from 400,000 years of cultivation, successfully broke through this bottleneck just like in the original work.
In other words.
The Snow Empress's Soul Spirit was a genuine 400,000-year-old Soul Spirit.
Although the energy was sealed, the improvement in physical quality was significant.
"With so much energy sealed, I feel like a walking bomb."
"No, to be precise, I should be a walking power bank."
Saying that, An Zhen suddenly looked at Huo Yutong.
Tianmeng Iceworm power bank, all Spirit Beasts who have used it say it's good.
"Sis feels like you're thinking of something very rude!"
Tianmeng Iceworm's spiritual voice rang out.
Then, before she could say anything, she was once again attracted by the twin-tailed girl floating in the air beside her.
"Bingbing~"
"My dearest Bingbing~"
Electrolux once again moved to block it.
Old people don't dislike liveliness.
But the sound of a sycophant was indeed annoying.
"Alright."
An Zhen gently stroked Huo Yutong's head, "Our trip to the Extreme North has come to an end. Yu Tong, your vacation officially ends now."
"?"
Huo Yutong was a bit confused.
"Brother An Zhen, are you going to other places?"
"I promised the Snow Empress some things, and I need to take care of them."
However, An Zhen still had some things to explain.
"The Ice Dragon King is a very powerful Spirit, and it should also have a gifted Domain." An Zhen had just imprinted Huo Yutong's Spirit. As an existence no weaker than the Ice God in her lifetime, even if much of her energy was lost, as a Spirit, its quality definitely reached the divine level.
"Gifted Domain?"
Huo Yutong didn't sense it.
"This kid is right."
Tianmeng Iceworm said to Huo Yutong in her spiritual sea, "Sis can feel that there is still a powerful energy within the Spirit, somewhat similar to a Spirit Ability, which should be the gifted Domain this kid mentioned."
"Let's go over our story."
An Zhen had already made up the story.
Not only his, but also a reasonable explanation for the extra things on Yu Tong's body.
The Spirit Bones that suddenly appeared on his body could perhaps be explained by other reasons. But disappearing right under Grand Ancestor Xuan Zi's nose, there was no doubt that a reason had to be given.
"When we go back, the Academy should be looking for me. You just say…"
Shrek City.
Today was still a sunny day, and merchants had opened their shops early. However, today was different from usual; although it was still bustling, the entire city seemed to be shrouded in a serious and tense atmosphere, which had been the case since the Shrek Academy's holiday began.
Something very lively had recently happened on the Douluo Continent.
Rumor had it that a god's treasure had been lost on the Douluo Continent.
This rumor was not unfounded, because the Titled Douluo, who were usually mysterious and rarely appeared, had been appearing very frequently recently, looking anxious as if they were searching for something. Some powerhouses who had graduated from Shrek recognized that those suddenly appearing and frequently showing up Titled Douluo and Spirit Douluo powerhouses were from Shrek Academy.
The city guards of various cities in the Three Great Empires had also been patrolling the city day and night in shifts recently. According to unofficial news, various Sects were also searching for something.
According to some people who recently returned from the Star Dou Great Forest, a major battle recently broke out in the Star Dou Great Forest, and one of the parties was suspected to be the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, who ranked first on the continent's fierce beast list.
Affected by such an atmosphere, the entire continent immediately set off a treasure hunt craze.
Sea God Island.
"Grand Ancestor!"
The figure of the long-haired beauty landed on the island. Her serene face showed no trace of her usual gentleness at this moment. Her reddened eyes revealed sorrow, and her parched cherry lips seemed to have been without water for a long time. Her entire demeanor was extremely haggard, as if she hadn't rested for many days.
The white-haired old man lay on a reclining chair, seemingly napping, but if there were top powerhouses present, they would immediately see that the old man, who was already at the end of his life, now had even more chaotic aura.
"It wasn't done by the Spirit Beast side."
Mu En had just returned from the Star Dou Great Forest.
An Zhen was missing.
He disappeared right under the nose of the Rank 98 Super Douluo, Gourmet Douluo.
Mu En's first suspect was Di Tian.
But facts proved that Di Tian was wrongly accused.
Xuan Zi went out to search the entire continent, vowing not to return until he found him.
The elders of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion also went out one by one to search, and the Inner Courtyard disciples, teachers of Spirit Saint and above, were all dispatched to search.
They contacted the Three Great Empires and various Sects.
The incident happened too strangely.
After all, An Zhen was only a few meters away from a Super Douluo at the time.
But since the incident had already occurred, they could only do their best to search.
...
The "treasure" that the entire continent was searching for quietly approached Shrek City.
"This should be about right."
On the official road about a thousand meters north of Shrek City, An Zhen gently put down Huo Yutong, who was in his arms.
"Do you remember what I told Yu Tong?"
"I remember!"
Huo Yutong nodded seriously.
"Alright, go."
An Zhen, whose figure was hidden by Electrolux, watched his girl walk into Shrek City.
"Let's go, Teacher."
He had to go look for traces of the Snow Empress.
100,000-year Snow Lotus.
Reincarnate as a human.
If it's sealed as in the original work.
An Zhen knew there was someone who, compared to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek's energy, might be able to find the Snow Empress faster.
Tianming City.
Located at the edge of the Mingdou Mountain Range and Mingdou Forest, it was one of the closest cities to the Sun Moon Empire.
"Are there traces of the Snow Empress here?"
In An Zhen's spiritual sea, the twin-tailed loli Snow Empress looked a bit anxious.
"No, but there's someone who can help us find the Snow Empress."
Rank 9 spirit tool Seal God Stage.
This thing could only come from the Sun Moon Empire.
The Original Douluo Continent's Three Great Empires didn't have Ninth-Level Soul Engineers.
"Thank you."
The Snow Empress suddenly spoke.
The Snow Empress felt that An Zhen was quite good.
Soul Spirit contract, An Zhen needed her spirit ring and Spirit Bone, and she needed An Zhen to gain a chance at eternal life.
They both got what they needed.
But An Zhen was genuinely trying to find the Snow Empress.
"Hmm?"
When An Zhen's gaze probed into his spiritual sea, the tsundere little queen had already turned her head away, shaking her twin tails.
An Zhen, hidden by Electrolux, stepped into an antique courtyard, deliberately making some noise.
"May I ask which senior has arrived."
A refined and clear male voice rang out.
"Grandpa, it's me."
The Snow Empress's premature disappearance added a timeline and some interesting plot points.
By the way, which version of Meng Hongchen do you all prefer?
