Chapter 122 The Tacit Understanding Between the Demon King and Huo Yuhao
After learning about Huo Yuhao's thoughts through Zi Ji, Di Tian fell into a long silence.
He looked at Huo Yuhao, who had returned from his cultivation and was learning soul imprinting techniques from the Silver Beast, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
Zi Ji laughed and said, "What's there to be reluctant about? Anyway, it's not like I can't be resurrected after Yu Hao becomes a god."
"The North has invested too much in him. There is no other way to increase Xingdou's importance in Yuhao's heart in a short period of time."
Gu Mingxi took Zi Ji's hand without saying a word.
Zi Ji patted her hair: "Why are you making that face? I'm not offering myself as a sacrifice to Yu Hao right now."
"Given Yuhao's cultivation speed, just consider this a period of seclusion for me. Anyway, every time I go into seclusion, it takes at least several decades."
"In that case, I will become a god before any one of you. That's a good thing."
Brigitte sighed.
She understood that although Ziji's words made sense, there was still some reluctance in her eyes.
Brigitte gently held Ziji's hand: "The process of sacrifice is extremely painful, requiring one to integrate their entire essence into the soul ring."
"Can any pain compare to the pain of a soul beast calamity?" Zi Ji retorted.
Di Tian and the others fell silent.
The Great Calamity of Soul Beasts is a sword that always hangs over the heads of soul beasts.
Di Tian turned to look at Zi Ji: "Since Yu Hao's plan is more suitable than my arrangement, let's follow his idea."
"I respect your choice. However, the sacrifice can only take place when Yuhao's fourth soul ring reaches the 100,000-year mark upon breaking through to the next realm."
Murasaki replied, "Don't worry, I won't act impulsively."
"The inheritance on Yuhao is too important. I don't want it to happen even if there is the slightest mistake."
Di Tian nodded, then stepped over to Huo Yuhao's side.
At this moment, Huo Yuhao had finished communicating with the Silver Beast and, with the help of Ice Emperor's translation, ensured that he could accurately understand every emotion conveyed by the Silver Beast.
After spending this time together, the Silver Beast has completely let down its guard against Huo Yuhao.
The Silver Beasts now completely obey Huo Yuhao's every word.
It knew in its heart that it was because of the existence of this strange human that Di Tian would make it the King of Silver Beasts and even make the promise that as long as the Starry Sky existed, the Silver Beast race would exist.
Therefore, the Silver Beast told Huo Yuhao everything in detail about how it performed the imprinting, so that he could understand the mysteries behind it more deeply.
It even proactively corrects the mistakes Huo Yuhao makes when learning rubbing techniques.
What Huo Yuhao means to the soul beast race is something the Silver Beast doesn't know.
All it knew was that Huo Yuhao was definitely a lucky star for the Silver Elite Beast clan.
Through mental detection sharing, Huo Yuhao clearly displayed every energy flow during his learning of imprinting to the Silver Beast.
The Silver Beast roared incessantly, correcting Huo Yuhao's mistakes.
"You two seem to get along well."
Di Tian looked at the Silver Elite Beast, who was retreating with its body bowed low: "How's the imprinting learning going?"
"Senior," Huo Yuhao cupped his hands in greeting, "you should be able to grasp the basics before the Soul Master Competition."
Take your time, there's no rush.
Di Tian said, "Practice makes perfect. Now that you have experience learning such a complex soul skill as imprinting, you will be able to learn other soul skills much more easily in the future."
"Furthermore, regardless of the type of soul skill, you can learn it twice by imprinting it beforehand."
"By sheer accident, Xiong Jun has accomplished a great feat."
Mentioning Xiong Jun, Huo Yuhao looked at Di Tian and asked, "When does he plan to challenge the senior?"
"It's probably impossible before you leave."
Di Tian looked in the direction where Xiong Jun was in seclusion: "Now that you're here, he must want to continue to refine the details of the Heaven-Tearing Claw in order to increase his chances of winning as much as possible."
"I'll tell you when he officially challenges me."
"Mr. Xiong definitely wants you to be a witness."
The Demon King and the Crimson King arrived here to bring Huo Yuhao his food for the day.
They were initially puzzled as well as Di Tian about why he cared so much about Huo Yuhao.
It wasn't until a few days ago, when Di Tian told them that Huo Yuhao was someone recognized by the Silver Dragon King, that these two ferocious beasts changed their opinion of Huo Yuhao.
As long as the request isn't too unreasonable, the two ferocious beasts will do their best to satisfy Huo Yuhao.
What pleased the Star Dou Beast was that Huo Yuhao did not take advantage of its kindness and make many unreasonable demands.
On the contrary, Huo Yuhao always maintained respect for the ferocious beasts, and even helped them improve more details of their soul skills, just like he did with Xiong Jun.
For example, Huo Yuhao helped the Crimson King improve some of the flaws in its self-created soul skills, such as the Crimson Elephant Collapse.
This greatly excited the Crimson King, who said that he would definitely give way to anyone he encountered from the Body Sect in the future.
The Demon King, possessing attributes of wood, poison, and spirit, was extremely envious of Huo Yuhao's ability to share his spiritual detection.
He rules over more than a third of the soul beasts on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. If he could master a similar ability, it would greatly enhance the power of the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, the Demon King also knew that sharing mental detection was Huo Yuhao's core skill, and he certainly wouldn't teach it to him.
Huo Yuhao has a good relationship with the Star Dou Great Forest; that's his private matter.
The relationship between human soul masters and soul beasts is generally one of hostility.
If I were to make this request, it would definitely make Huo Yuhao feel disgusted.
Thus, the Demon King no longer had the chance to make a fool of himself.
The Demon King handed Huo Yuhao a fruit radiating a rich life force: "It can help you solidify your foundation."
Crimson King then pushed the body of a giant soul beast in front of Huo Yuhao: "This is a Crimson Flame Dragon Lizard that I just hunted. It'll be enough for you and the auspicious beast to eat for the next few days."
"Moreover, it's beneficial for your and the auspicious beast's cultivation of qi and blood, so don't waste it."
Huo Yuhao expressed his sincere gratitude.
The Demon King shook his head: "It's a pity that the Blue Silver Emperor was tricked away ten thousand years ago. Otherwise, she and Bi Ji could have joined forces to guide your cultivation of the Desolate Ice."
A hint of regret flashed in Di Tian's eyes: "The Blue Silver Emperor is indeed the most suitable being to guide the transformation of barrenness into vitality."
Huo Yuhao thought for a moment.
In the end, he still did not tell the Star Dou Great Forest about the Golden Tree, which might be the Blue Silver Emperor or Tang Hao.
After Huo Yuhao resumed his cultivation, Di Tian and the Demon King walked to the side.
"You saw what happened to Yuhao," Di Tian said. "He was able to learn the soul skills of soul beasts through study."
The Demon King said, "I understand what you mean."
"You want him to learn my Thousand-Year Domain in an Instant to lay the foundation for the Evil Emperor's Light of Time and Space."
"But given the current situation, that's impossible."
The Demon King frankly admitted that through his observation of Huo Yuhao over this period of time, he discovered that the mutual assistance between Huo Yuhao and the soul beasts had always been conducted in the form of a transaction.
"He always kept the distinction very clear in his mind."
"Yuhao is too clear-headed. He understands the fundamental difference in positions between soul beasts and humans, so he is unwilling to incur too much karma for the Star Dou Great Forest."
The Demon King said, "He was willing to help Lord Xiong perfect the Sky-Tearing Claw because Lord Xiong promised to capture soul beasts for him, and also to use the honey from the Moon Shadow Spirit Bees as currency in their language."
"The reason I helped the Crimson King perfect his soul skills was because the Crimson King promised to give him the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit soul bone that had been polished for over 10,000 years."
"And right now, he has nothing to make a deal with me."
This is different from Huo Yuhao's willingness to accept Ditian's investment.
What Di Tian wanted was for Huo Yuhao to give the future to the soul beast race.
This is a long-term matter, and it's also the goal that Huo Yuhao promised Tianmeng.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao was willing to accept Ditian's investment.
However, the assistance provided by Xiong Jun and Chi Wang is short-term and can produce immediate results.
It can be immediately applied to their struggles against humans.
If Di Tian hadn't said that he had absolute control over Xiong Jun, Huo Yuhao would never have agreed to help Xiong Jun perfect the Sky-Tearing Claw.
The positions of humans and spirit beasts remain contradictory.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao will use the principle of equivalent exchange to ensure that there is no excessive imbalance between humans and soul beasts.
Learning the Demon King's "A Thousand Years in an Instant" domain without sufficient trading methods would have too great a karmic consequence.
Therefore, even though Huo Yuhao also coveted the Demon King's instantaneous thousand-year domain, he never mentioned Yuhao and the Demon King Fang. They always kept it a secret and never mentioned whether they should make a deal.
The spirit fruits and soul beast meat represent the Demon King and the Crimson King's investment in the future of soul beasts, and cannot be considered separate transactions.
"This is not a bad thing."
Di Tian said in a low voice, "At least it proves that he will not be easily manipulated by either side."
The Demon King chuckled: "This is the first time I've encountered a situation where I can't even deliver something I'm trying to give away."
Di Tian replied, "No rush. Given Yu Hao's situation, he'll soon have the confidence to make a deal with you."
The Demon King still laughed and said, "The way you say it makes it sound like I'm the one who's eager to do this."
"Isn't that right?"
Di Tian, unusually, cracked a joke: "Aren't you tempted by the shared mental detection capabilities?"
"Then you should convince him to make a deal with me!"
The Demon King stormed off, cursing, "All that pointless talk!"
Di Tian watched the departing figure of the Demon King and let out a hearty laugh.
He then looked at Huo Yuhao, who was cultivating, and said, "Yuhao, your caution was correct."
"It is precisely because of this caution that I am willing to believe that you are truly making your own efforts for the relationship between humans and soul beasts."
"But some things, in the end, cannot be avoided."
