Diary System—Chapter 74: Still Running After Ten Thousand Years? Is a Hundred Thousand-Year Soul Ring Standard?
While the several soul beasts were still pondering, Dai Yichen's diary continued.
—
[However, the reason for this situation is partly due to the unfairness of the will of this world towards soul beasts. Soul masters only need to obtain soul rings to improve and will not encounter heavenly tribulations from level 95 to level 99.]
[But soul beasts must experience a heavenly tribulation every 100,000 years of cultivation. The higher the level, the greater the power of the heavenly tribulation and the more stringent the requirements for bloodlines.]
[Only if they have a higher bloodline does their probability of surviving the heavenly tribulation increase. After all, under normal circumstances, if both sides have the same number of years of cultivation, the soul beast with a higher bloodline will be stronger! The other aspect is due to the soul beasts. A hundred-thousand-year soul beast cannot have a humanoid form (except for sea soul beasts), while fierce beasts can.]
[The older the fierce beast is, the more realistic its humanoid form becomes. The humanoid form of the little Ice Empress is very cute, with a tail behind her. Although the Snow Empress is a soul beast, she resembles a heavenly snow woman born and raised in the Extreme North, giving her a humanoid appearance. Di Tian is currently the most powerful aside from Gu Yuena, and his humanoid form is the most realistic of all.]
[However, these fierce beasts do not only inhabit their small territories; they also train quietly. Di Tian has even guarded the sleeping Gu Yuena for tens of thousands of years.]
[He didn't realize that while Gu Yuena was currently sleeping, her strength was not weaker than his. Even if she encountered an external enemy and woke up, she would be fine. Di Tian didn't need to protect her constantly. He could venture into the human world from time to time to learn about the developments among soul masters and see if these advancements posed a threat to their soul beasts.]
[However, with Di Tian's strength, he probably had already roamed Douluo Star. I don't know whether to call it arrogance or confidence. Let's not even discuss the battle armor that will appear long after; just consider the soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Continent.]
[Although it is not ten thousand years in the future, the Sun Moon Continent is developing with a focus on soul guidance technology supplemented by the enhancement of their strength. Based on my estimation, while their soul guidance technology may not be as advanced as it will be ten thousand years later, it should already be in its developmental stage.]
[After all, the soul guidance technology of the Douluo Continent is significantly lagging behind that of the Sun Moon Continent. Our soul guidance technology is still at the stage of storing soul guidance devices. Only a few individuals possess soul-guidance devices capable of storing living things. The soul guidance technology of the Sun Moon Continent is likely already thriving.]
—
The girls were stunned, especially Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. They had always believed that there was only one continent in this world, the Douluo Continent, surrounded by various islands. They didn't expect there to be another continent!
But why hadn't those sailing ships reported similar news? Was the Sun Moon Continent too distant from the Douluo Continent to have been discovered yet?
Dai Yichen: Bingo!
Di Tian: I don't know!
How could Di Tian have anticipated that the soul guidance technology ten thousand years later could threaten their beasts?
While he had traveled around Douluo Star in the past, he hadn't stayed long. It was so long ago; how could he possibly have foreseen it?
—
[But I can't say Di Tian is wrong about this. After all, I possess a god's perspective. He probably traveled extensively, assessing any potential threats. However, humans are remarkable. Each person has independent thoughts, which contrasts sharply with the singular-minded perspective of soul beasts that only know how to devour and evolve.]
[There are often small groups of people who are interested in paths other than that of the soul master, leading to subsequent technological products such as soul guidance devices, battle armor, and spacecraft.]
[Yet, from a broader perspective, Di Tian, the dragon, has done well as the acting soul beast leader. He not only protected Gu Yuena but also the three-eyed golden lion. At this time, the three-eyed golden lion is estimated to have only been cultivated for a few thousand years. The Star Dou Great Forest has gathered luck and auspicious beasts, which can double the cultivation speed of all soul beasts in the forest and increase the probability of breaking through bottlenecks.]
[While a few thousand years may seem relatively short, for soul beasts that progress slowly in cultivation, it represents a considerable improvement. It is precisely because of her existence that so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts will emerge after ten thousand years. In the current timeline, even the strongest among the top powers may not possess a 100,000-year soul ring. However, in ten thousand years, a 100,000-year soul ring will become the standard for the strong, and some may even possess two or three 100,000-year soul rings!]
[The seventh soul ring being a hundred thousand years old signifies that ten thousand years later, their methods for rapidly enhancing physical fitness are not limited to medicinal baths. Whale glue is one of the treasures that can notably improve physical fitness in the early stages.]
—
Girls: You mentioned the effects of whale glue too late; we already know about it!
—
[Indeed, since there are means of enhancing physical fitness ten thousand years later, why does Shrek Academy still hold onto the tradition of weighted running? Although it is useful for improving physical condition, it isn't optimal! When I remember the teacher named Zhou Yi, ten thousand years later, asking students to run for exercise, I feel like vomiting blood.]
[Even Yu Xiaogang understood to have students run within the range of Zhao Wuji's gravity control to maximize training effectiveness in the later stages. But Zhou Yi insisted on having people wear weighted armor while running, which regresses their progress.]
—
All the girls: …
They felt a bit powerless to complain.
But they noticed a new soul beast mentioned by Dai Yichen—the auspicious beast!
It can improve the cultivation speed of soul beasts! But when did the auspicious beast come into being?
The Snow Empress, who was also born and raised in the Far North, had not experienced such an effect.
Bibi Dong's eyes glimmered; she vanished from the Pope's Palace. She needed to visit the collection room.
The Spirit Hall has existed on the mainland for a very long time. Before its establishment as a hall, it operated as a church. There should be many ancient books, possibly containing records about auspicious beasts.
Since auspicious beasts arose from the luck of the Star Dou Great Forest, perhaps they existed in the past?
The focus of the others quickly shifted back to the soul ring. Someone possessed three 100,000-year soul rings!
Since Dai Yichen didn't specify that this person had twin martial souls and mentioned that basically, every top power has a 100,000-year soul ring as standard, it stands to reason that this soul master with three 100,000-year soul rings likely has just one martial soul. How did he achieve a Soul Saint physique comparable to a Titled Douluo?
However, they could never imagine that this soul master with three 100,000-year soul rings not only relied on the abundant resources provided by the sect but also on the special nature of his martial soul.
After all, being part of a top power generally guarantees a wealth of resources. So why could he wield three 100,000-year soul rings? This is connected to his martial soul!
The leader of the Body Sect, Du Busi, possesses a body martial soul that underwent a second awakening, increasing its quality to that of a divine body. With the aid of abundant body-forging resources from the sect, he achieved such remarkable accomplishments!
