Although Dongyang City is an important northern town of the Sun Moon Empire, it has no rare and precious natural treasures, nor is it involved in any main storyline.
Therefore, for the next period of time, Xu Tianming diligently cultivated the "Yin Yang Profound Extreme Body Refining Technique" in the City Lord's Mansion.
Although the energy of the 50,000-year-old whale glue greatly improved his first level of the Kanli Foundation Establishment realm.
However, it is still a long way from achieving great success.
There's no other way; Taoist practices emphasize a gradual, step-by-step, and persistent approach.
However, during this training process, Xu Tianming could clearly feel his physical strength becoming increasingly formidable.
"Tianming, the things I prepared for you have arrived."
Just as Xu Tianming was engrossed in cultivation and oblivious to the world around him, Kong Yue's voice rang out from outside the door.
"Mother!"
Xu Tianming opened his eyes and jogged to open the door to his room.
"You child, cultivation is important, but everything should be done in moderation."
Kong Yue gently tapped Xu Tianming's head a few times, a look of heartache on her face.
She had witnessed Xu Tianming's almost obsessive dedication to cultivation these past few days, and as his mother, she naturally felt a pang of heartache for him.
"Mother, cultivation is not bitter at all; on the contrary, it is quite interesting."
Reaching out to take Kong Yue's hand, Xu Tianming put on a fawning smile.
In his previous life, he was an orphan and never felt the love of his parents.
However, in this life, he truly experienced the deep love that parents have for their children.
Of course, he didn't lie about cultivation either.
The feeling of clearly becoming stronger through cultivation was indeed something he couldn't resist.
"You always have so many excuses!"
Kong Yue glared at Xu Tianming, but her expression immediately turned serious.
"The first spirit ring your father prepared for you has arrived in the back garden. He sent me to call you."
"Yes, Mother!"
A hint of joy flashed in Xu Tianming's eyes. After greeting Kong Yue, he ran towards the backyard.
I've been in this world for six years now.
He was naturally overjoyed to finally obtain his first spirit ring.
He jogged all the way to the back garden, and Xu Tianming, with his excellent eyesight, immediately spotted his father.
Of course, they also saw the huge metal cage not far in front of Xu Xiang.
"Father!"
Xu Tianming slowly walked to Xu Xiang's side, but his gaze remained fixed on the metal cage.
There's no other reason than that the image of the soul beast inside the metal cage is simply too impactful.
Inside the cage, there was a giant eye over five meters long, with countless long, thin tentacles all over its body, which inspired fear in those who looked at it.
However, for some reason, the eyes of this evil-eyed tyrant were closed, and many of its tentacles were broken off.
The cage was filled with thick, scarlet blood.
"This is the Evil Eye Tyrant?"
Swallowing hard, this was the most sanity-draining soul beast Xu Tianming had ever seen since he came to this world.
"Indeed, this is a five-thousand-year-old evil-eyed tyrant."
Xu Xiang nodded.
"In order to capture this Evil Eye Tyrant, those soul beast hunters even sacrificed a fourth-tier soul master."
A level four Soul Master is basically equivalent to a level four or even a level five Soul Master in terms of strength.
Yet such a powerful being died at the hands of an Evil Eye Tyrant who was only five thousand years old, which shows just how powerful the Evil Eye Tyrant was.
"In our Sun Moon Empire, the Evil Eye Tyrant is almost the highest quality land-based soul beast."
Xu Xiang continued speaking, but his tone became increasingly serious.
"Even ordinary Soul Masters wouldn't dare absorb the five-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Ring as their fourth Soul Ring..."
"Tianming, are you sure you want to make this five-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant your first spirit ring?"
The quality of the Soul Masters' Martial Souls in the Sun Moon Empire was far inferior to that of the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, which is why they developed the technology of Soul Guidance Devices.
However, it is precisely because of this over-reliance on soul tools that the quality and age of the soul rings of the Sun Moon Empire's soul masters are generally not high.
"Father, let me give it a try."
Xu Tianming said softly.
"If I really can't absorb the Evil Eye Tyrant's soul ring, you should have a way to protect me, right?"
If a powerful external force intervenes in time when a Soul Master is unable to absorb a Soul Ring, it can indeed interrupt the Soul Master's absorption process.
However, this behavior is extremely risky.
Even if successful, the soul master whose soul ring absorption was interrupted will need to recuperate for at least half a year.
Xu Xiang remained silent.
As a father, he naturally hoped that his son would make history by absorbing the five-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant as his first spirit ring.
But as a father himself, he was also worried about his son's safety.
The desire for one's son to succeed and the worry about one's child are inherently a father's dilemma.
"Father, don't you still believe me?"
Seeing that Xu Xiang remained silent, Xu Tianming had no choice but to speak again.
"In that case, why don't you give it a try?"
Xu Xiang let out a long breath and patted Xu Tianming's shoulder heavily.
Be careful in everything, and never force yourself.
After a pause, Xu Xiang spoke again.
"The weakness of this evil-eyed tyrant is its large eyes."
"Absorb it as soon as possible before your mother arrives."
Xu Tianming paused for a moment, then nodded emphatically.
Taking a loaded soul-guided ray gun from Xu Xiang, Xu Tianming aimed at the closed eyes of the Evil Eye Tyrant.
Buzz...
The soul-guided ray gun in his hand trembled slightly, and then a bright beam the thickness of a finger shot out from the muzzle.
It's unclear what level of soul tool Xu Xiang handed Xu Tianming, but the beam he fired pierced right through the five-thousand-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant.
"The future still belongs to the era of soul tools."
Looking at the Evil-Eyed Tyrant lying in the cage, twitching twice and then becoming still, Xu Tianming sighed inwardly.
Just as he sighed, a purple soul ring floated up from the corpse of the Evil Eye Tyrant.
"Be very careful, and if you can't absorb it, give up immediately."
Xu Xiang took a step back and said in a deep voice.
"I see."
Xu Tianming took two deep breaths and then sat cross-legged on the ground.
With a slight beckoning of his hand, the purple soul ring, drawn by his soul power, immediately enveloped him.
At that very moment, Xu Tianming's body jolted violently, and his face contorted into a ferocious expression.
rise!
It's skyrocketing!
Xu Tianming felt an extremely cold energy coursing through his body, as if his internal organs were being struck by a giant hammer.
Caught off guard, a mouthful of scarlet blood gushed from his mouth.
This scene immediately changed Kong Yue's expression as she entered the back garden.
"Xu Xiang, the child can't hold on any longer, and you're just standing there like a dead man?"
Xu Xiang ignored his wife's stern shouts and stared intently at his son, saying each word clearly:
"The first wave of spirit ring energy is the strongest. As long as he can get through the first wave, he still has a chance to absorb this five-thousand-year spirit ring."
