Chapter 2: Ten Thousand Years of Family Heritage
This ninth-level soul guidance device has only two functions!
One is a triggered defense function!
When the host encounters fatal danger, it will automatically release a defensive soul guidance device skill called the Guardian of the Ice and Snow Goddess!
The defensive ability is determined by the user's soul power.
Theoretically, if the soul power is sufficient, it can withstand the full force of a Title Douluo.
The other function is storage!
The storage function has no requirements for the soul power level; as long as there is soul power, it can be used.
Dugu Han put the Love of Ice and Snow in his hand and tried to input his soul power into it. He immediately felt the items placed inside.
He just thought about it.
Suddenly, several prescriptions, dozens of ancient books, five lead boxes, and a palm-sized black block appeared on the desk.
Dugu Han sorted them out!
The prescriptions are all for medicinal diets and medicinal baths to assist soul masters in their cultivation.
Ancient books can be roughly divided into three categories:
One category is the family's inheritance books!
They include: "The Road to Becoming a God with the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well", "The Evolutionary Route of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul", "The General Outline of Poison Pill Cultivation Method", "The Essentials of Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul Cultivation", "The World's Ten Thousand Poisons Classic", etc.
The second category is the soul beast atlas.
These include: "Star Dou Great Forest Soul Beast Atlas", "Sunset Forest Soul Beast Atlas", "Extreme North Soul Beast Atlas", "Northern Ice Sea Soul Beast Atlas", and "Partial Ocean Soul Beast Atlas".
The third category is the "Douluo Rare Treasures Record" and "Douluo Records of Things Seen", which document various rare treasures, strange people, and events on the Douluo Continent.
The lead boxes contain soul bones.
Five lead boxes, five soul bones!
Each box has an introduction:
- 50,000-year-old Netherworld Serpent King head soul bone
- 40,000-year-old Poison Shadow Python trunk bone
- 18,000-year-old Red Flame Explosive Bear left arm bone
- 15,000-year-old Shadow Demon Leopard's left leg bone
- 12,000-year-old Swift Wind Demon Wolf's right leg bone
"Tsk!"
"Five soul bones—only one right arm bone is missing to complete the set of a full body of soul bones!"
Dugu Han marveled at the soul bones before him.
Don't mention it—although his father had just broken through to Super Douluo, he followed the ancestral teachings to break through the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!
He directly left it to Old Xue, which was quite unreliable.
But the items his father left for him were quite good—there were five soul bones.
"Hmm?"
"What is this?"
Dugu Han suddenly noticed the black block next to him.
The block was palm-sized.
There were a dozen blurry characters on it.
"One hundred thousand years Whale Rubber… cannot be taken… by non-Soul… Ancestor level Soul Master."
After Dugu Han identified the characters word by word, he exclaimed: "One hundred thousand years Whale Rubber!"
"Let me confirm it again!"
Dugu Han was afraid he had read it wrong, so he carefully rechecked.
That's right!
It's one hundred thousand years whale rubber!
Dugu Han carefully picked up the inky black whale rubber, breathing rapidly with excitement.
This was a big surprise for him.
Although it was written that it could not be taken by people below the Soul Ancestor Level, Dugu Han was still very excited.
He could wait until he broke through level 40 before taking this 100,000-year-old whale rubber.
By then, as long as he could withstand the soul shock, the age of the fourth soul ring would be at least 20,000 years, and even 30,000 years would not be impossible.
"Huh!"
"Calm down, calm down!"
Dugu Han took a deep breath and forced himself to relax.
Breaking through level 40 and absorbing the 10,000-year soul ring are tasks for the future.
His top priority now was to find a way to improve his innate soul power.
After Dugu Han received the 100,000-year-old whale rubber and five soul bones in the Love of Ice and Snow ring, he flipped through the ancient books left by his father.
"The Road to Becoming a God with Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well"
Dugu Han opened it and looked. This ancient book was written by Dugu Bo ten thousand years ago.
It describes in detail how Tang San took the immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, gave it to Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and others, and how their martial souls evolved, gained the qualifications to become gods, and finally ascended.
It also contains pictures of various immortal herbs and their medicinal properties.
"How could ancestor Dugu Bo know so many immortal herbs?"
Dugu Han was very surprised.
He didn't think Tang San would tell Dugu Bo the properties of these herbs.
But as he turned to the next page, it suddenly became clear!
It was found in Chrysanthemum Douluo's residence in the Spirit Hall after the Battle of Jialing Pass.
Dugu Han continued reading.
The following describes Dugu Bo accusing Tang San of snatching the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, placing the God's Restriction, and planting the seeds of the Green Phosphorus Seven Absolute Flowers after becoming a god.
Dugu Bo also established two ancestral precepts:
Ancestor Precept 1: From now on, Dugu family descendants will not associate with people surnamed Tang.
Ancestor Precept 2: After God's Restriction dissipates, Dugu family descendants must enter the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, acquire the immortal herbs, and forge the qualifications to become gods.
After finishing, Dugu Han understood why his father insisted on entering the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well after breaking through to Super Douluo.
It turns out the root of the problem lies with his ancestors.
"The Evolution Route of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul"
Dugu Han picked up another ancient book about the evolution of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul.
[If the Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul owner wants to evolve his martial soul into the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, he needs to take the blood of a top-level poison attribute Serpent soul beast of ten thousand years of cultivation to take medicine bathe from a young age, or make medicinal soup to eat, to enhance the origin of the martial soul. The corresponding soul ring also needs to be from a top-level serpent soul beast...]
After reading, Dugu Han started thinking.
This ancient book details that not only can the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul evolve into a Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, but all beast martial souls can evolve into emperor level if certain conditions are met.
For example, Serpent Martial Souls evolve into Serpent Emperor Martial Souls, wolf martial souls into wolf emperor martial souls, and so on.
However, the Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul has been studied by the Dugu family for tens of thousands of years. They have been improving it by selecting the first to ninth soul rings, and the descendants have used the essence and blood of top-level serpent soul beasts since childhood to enhance their martial soul potential...
Thus, the probability of this evolution has been increased to 100%.
"My Ice Serpent Martial Soul is a mutation of the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul."
"Can I also increase the probability of martial soul evolution this way?"
Thinking it over, Dugu Han decided he could try this method himself!
Whether it succeeds or not, it will not harm him.
The Jade Phosphor Serpent martial soul requires the essence and blood of top-level poison attribute serpent soul beasts of ten thousand years of cultivation.
Dugu Han's martial soul is an Ice Serpent, so he can also use the essence and blood of top-level ice attribute serpent soul beasts of ten thousand years of cultivation.
However, compared to blood from top-level ice attribute serpent soul beasts, Dugu Han wants to use blood essence from top-level ice attribute dragon soul beasts.
The reason the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul owners did not use poison-attribute dragon soul beast blood is because poison-attribute dragon soul beasts are too rare and have no alternatives.
But his Ice Serpent martial soul is an ice attribute martial soul.
Relatively speaking, although top-level ice-attribute dragon soul beasts are also rare in the Extreme North, they are still obtainable.
