--- Chapter 226 ---

Kaguya was asleep for a few minutes after cultivating alone inside a cave near Yunlong's training place.

She weirdly sensed two souls that Yunlong brought with her here a few months ago to this world reacted slightly.

"They were about to awaken," Kaguya muttered while pulling two crystals out of her chest.

The first crystal is overfilled with an unbalanced black hue lightly topped by a white hue, making it look uncanny. Meanwhile, the second crystal was clearly bright red with balanced dark and white hues.

These crystals shone in the darkness of the cave, which sometimes released a faint pulse..

Kaguya gradually closed her eyes and tried to sense Yunlong's presence around the area. He was sitting cross-legged on a peaceful pond near Gu Yuena, who keenly observed his progression.

"Yunlong." She called him with her spiritual ability.

"Do you need something?" Yunlong naturally responded with eyes closed.

"The soul you brought here has shown a sigh of awakening," Kaguya stated calmly while looking at the crystal in her hand.

"Huh?" Yunlong was clearly surprised because he had expected those souls to awaken a little bit longer.

However, it seemed that wasn't the case here because their awakenings happened at the same time.

"Well, I couldn't really move much at the moment, but..." Yunlong suddenly performed simple hand signs, and a clone directly was teleported to Kaguya's location.

"What are you doing... Focus." Gu Yuena sternly commented while looking at Yunlong, who wryly shook his head.

"Yes, Teacher Yuena." He playfully answered with a chuckle.

"Wha-, Don't call me that!" Gu Yuena couldn't help but immediately shout in annoyance.

However, deep in Gu Yuena's heart, she actually felt pleased for some reason.

Poof!

Kaguya raised her head and saw Yunlong's clone abruptly arrive in front of her. "Here." She said while showing him the crystals.

"Let me sense them first," Yunlong answered while taking the crystals from Kaguya's hands.

He closed his eyes and enveloped the entire crystals with his higher spiritual sense. He could sense two entities were about to awaken because their souls had adapted enough to this world.

"What a blunder... I haven't even prepared the vessel for them." Yunlong slowly shook his head while looking at Kaguya.

Kaguya possessed Ah Yin's soulless body, which was perfect and suitable for her strong soul. However, Yunlong couldn't just snatch people's bodies and bring them here.

Well, he could easily do that, but those stolen bodies probably won't be suitable for these souls.

Yunlong sighed slightly and wondered how to solve his current problem without overthinking it. "Ah, this may be possible." He muttered while thinking about a dragon in the star dou forest.

He couldn't kill any spirit beasts because of the promise he made with Gu Yuena and Di Tian to ally with human and spirit beasts.

However, that doesn't mean he couldn't kill the spirit beast by any means because there is also a spirit beast who swallowed human flesh and blood to increase their strengths.

"Do you want to follow me? Or stay here cultivating?" Yunlong calmly asked, to which Kaguya responded with a quiet nod.

"Sure... I'm bored too." Kaguya answered with a blunt tone.

Yunlong shrugged his shoulders and teleported Kaguya and himself to Star Dou Forest's core area, where Di Tian comfortably floated on his green lake with a peaceful expression.

--- Star Dou Forest ---

Di Tian was leisurely floating on his green lake, enjoying the day without any problem except for cultivating. Without having a duty to protect Silver Dragon King's slumbering place, he is pretty much a free being.

"Yo." Yunlong suddenly appeared out of nowhere, which abruptly caught Di Tian off guard because he didn't sense any abnormality within his space.

"Can't you don't appear all of a sudden?" Di Tian coldly commented while pushing his startled chest slightly. "Also, you're trespassing."

"Should I call Gu Yueana here?" Yunlong casually responded with a smirk on his face.

"I'm pretty sure you couldn't do much about me." He continued with a shrug of his shoulders.

"This brat..." Di Tian's mouth slowly twitched in annoyance because indeed he couldn't harm Yunlong.

Di Tian lightly jumped out of his green lake and swiped some water from his clothes, which literally disappeared in a flash.

"So, what do you want?" He asked while intently looking at Yunlong.

"Dead bodies..." Yunlong bluntly answered. "Almost deceased spirit beast' bodies, to be exact."

Di Tian frowned for a second and indifferently commented, "You realize that you can't kill a spirit beast, so you want me to do it for you, huh."

"Well, it's in the contract." Yunlong shrugged his shoulders. "However, you also have to realize that I require something to research with as well, right?"

He heavily sighed, "Without any specimens, I couldn't develop much of the vision that I shared with you."

Yunlong was blatantly half-lied between his breath because he required an example for his spirit soul development. However, at the same time, he clearly used this excuse to obtain the perfect vessel for these souls.

"We could use spirit beasts that disagree with you, not to mention a few exceptions like Dark Devilgod Tiger." Yunlong calmly stated, which caused Di Tian to frown even more.

"I heard a few spirit masters brutally were swallowed by a winged black tiger..." He briefly mentioned. "You know an alliance needs a benefit for both parties, right?"

"Tch, I know." Di Tian responded with dissatisfaction.

Even though humans have killed spirit beasts for years to obtain spirit rings, there is also an exception from their side, who didn't cultivate in an orthodox way.

Dark Devilgod Tiger swallowed both spirit beasts and spirit master to increase its cultivation, which was a nuisance to Di Tian for years.

"There are also a few dying spirit beasts." Di Tian suddenly opened his mouth. "Even though I don't know if they'd agree or not to be an example for you.

"That's okay," Yunlong replied with a smile, which slightly irritates Di Tian.

Di Tian brought them to Bi Ji's domain and saw her healing some injured spirit beasts.

"Bi Ji, where the dying spirit beast that weirdly attacked a few months ago?" Di Tian immediately asked when landing in front of Bi Ji.

Bi Ji slightly tilted her head and asked, "Do you need something from them?"

"Hi." Yunlong calmly greeted while waving his hand.

"He's here too?" Bi Ji was confused because doesn't this young man training with Silver Dragon King.

Yunlong calmly explained a few things to Bi Ji, and she listened to it with great interest but stopped midway because he mentioned the dying spirit beast for further research.

"Would you kill them..?" Bi Ji silently questioned because the spirit beast's life matters for her.

"I won't kill them, but if I obliged to, then I need their consent." Yunlong naturally answered.

Bi Ji quietly stared at Yunlong's eyes for a few minutes and lifted her body from the ground. "Follow me," she said while walking away.

They followed her slowly into another part of the forest, where many dying spirit beasts usually were buried and nourished the Star Dou Forest.

Yunlong saw various spirit beasts with losing limbs or even faint living forces laying around with no hope to live. "What gloomy scenery..." He quietly commented.

"They already give up, huh." He added, which formed a wry smile on Bi Ji's face.

Bi Ji looked at Yunlong and replied, "I couldn't convince them to stay alive, so you could only rely on yourself."

"Even if Di Tian pressured them to death, they won't budge from their position." She continued with a bitter sigh.

Yunlong patted Bi Ji's shoulders and confidently answered, "Leave it to me."
