Babe stood up, her calm gaze sweeping around her, silently guarding those beside her.
After falling into a coma, Huo Yu thought he had a dream. In the dream, he came to a vast white space with countless light spots that seemed to stretch on forever. His line of sight seemed to be able to extend to every corner of this space.
Just as he was feeling the magic of this space, a strong wind suddenly blew in, and golden rays of light pierced through.
These golden rays converged into a huge golden halo suspended in mid-air, and all the light points in space became much larger due to their appearance.
Ten golden light rings began to rotate slowly, and a milky white halo appeared inside each ring. The halos grew stronger and gradually turned into ten huge light balls suspended there. The height and volume of the entire space increased by an unknown number of times.
At this moment, near one of the light balls, an inconspicuous gray light group appeared. The volume of this light group was much smaller than that of the other ten light balls. Those light balls were also emitting intense golden light, as if to drive it away. However, the gray light ball remained calm and suspended there, unaffected by the impact of the golden light.
In the end, those ten orbs of light could only give up their futile efforts and each stabilized themselves, flickering with a faint glow.
Huo Yu's consciousness gradually became clear, and the floating light points in the air slowly fell to the ground, gathering into a pale golden ocean that carried those ten huge gold and white light balls. Only the small gray light group still floated in the air, refusing to gather with these large light balls.
"So you're He Yu Hao." A sudden voice rang out, and immediately, He Yu Hao's line of sight contracted. He subconsciously lowered his head to look down, only to see himself standing above the golden ocean, also among the ten golden white light balls.
"Where is this? Why am I here?" Hu Yu Hao asked in surprise.
"This is the sea of consciousness in your own brain, or you can say it's a spiritual sea. From now on, this will also be my home. The place is too small, so I helped you expand it a bit. However, your body is too weak and can only temporarily make do with living here."
"Are you Tian Meng Bing Cang? Am I not dreaming?" Listening to the tone and voice of the speaker, Huo Yu Hao was even more shocked. Everything he saw before his eyes had already completely exceeded his understanding. Not to mention that he was only eleven years old, even if an adult encountered such a miraculous scene, they would be frightened out of their wits.
"Daydreaming? If you could have such a beautiful dream, wouldn't you die from beauty? Of course, this isn't daydreaming, I've said it before, this is within your spiritual world." Tian Meng Bing Xian said with disdain.
Huo Yu Hao stared blankly and said: "What is this spiritual world again?"
"You're really foolish. How can I explain it to you? Let me put it this way, your own eyes know the answer. It's that thing in your consciousness called Lingzhuo, your martial soul. I just imprinted your memories, so I know everything about your past now. This Lingzhuo is both your martial soul and your eyes. And the Spiritual Ocean is where your spiritual energy is stored. For you to unleash the power of Lingzhuo, you need to convert your soul energy into spiritual energy and then release it through Lingzhuo. The place where spiritual energy is stored is your Spiritual Ocean. Specifically, it's located in the back of your brain, behind those eyes. Right now, your consciousness is submerged in the Spiritual Ocean, and the body you see isn't your true form - I used my spiritual energy to condense it for you so we could communicate."
After listening to the detailed explanation, Huo Yu Hao finally understood a bit and his inner fear also dissipated a lot. Children are sometimes more sensitive than adults, he could feel that Tian Meng Bing had no malice towards him at all.
"Then why did you appear in my spiritual sea?" Huo Yu Hao asked again.
"I didn't tell you before? I'm going to be your soul ring! A wisdom soul ring. Now I've become one. To become your soul ring, I greatly compressed and sealed my own power. From now on, you'll have a soul ring, which is what you humans call a Soul Master. However, your talent is far worse than I imagined, it's simply off the charts. I really don't know if my choice was right or wrong."
Huo Yu Hao said somewhat embarrassedly: "My innate talent isn't very good, but I will work hard. My congenital soul power is only at the first level."
Tian Meng Ice Silkworm said gloomily: "I'll think of a way, and I'll make it better for you the day after tomorrow."
With the continuation of their conversation, Huo Yu Hao's courage grew, "Tian Meng Bing Can."
"Call me Tianmeng Ge."
"Alright, Tian Meng. You said you're a million-year soul beast, is that true? And why did you choose me?! I've heard that soul masters can't bear soul rings exceeding 400 years. But you're a million-year soul beast, how could you become my soul ring?"
"Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm suddenly let out a sigh, 'You think I wanted to choose you?! I had no choice! If I didn't make a decision soon, my life would have ended. And once I died, my body would probably become food for those creatures in the Starry Forest. With no other option, I could only resort to attaching myself to humans. This is also my only way out. Want to hear my story? Since we'll be together for a long, long time, I might as well tell you everything.'"
Huo Yu Hao nodded and said: "Tian Meng Ge, you speak."
"I was originally just an ordinary Ice Silkworm soul beast. I wasn't born in the Starry Forest, but rather in the extremely cold lands of the northern continent. We Ice Silkworms are naturally dual-attribute soul beasts with both spiritual and ice attributes. However, our combat strength is severely affected by our speed, making us only ordinary soul beasts at best. Moreover, we have natural enemies, and very few of my kind can cultivate for over 10,000 years. But I'm an exception."
"In the year I was thirteen, while evading a heavenly enemy's pursuit, I accidentally fell into an ice crevice. At that time, I thought it was all over for me. But who would have known, I actually fell into a cluster of thousand-year-old glacial marrow. Then I sank into a deep sleep. At that time, I was still very weak and small, my body length was less than three inches, and this one sleep lasted for ten thousand years. When I woke up, I found myself in an ice cave, the original thousand-year-old glacial marrow had all disappeared, all absorbed by me. And so, I became a Thousand-Year Soul Beast. At that time, I was truly overjoyed! But then I discovered, I couldn't find a way out."
"In that icy cave, the surroundings were all filled with ten-thousand-year-old ice, extremely hard. Although I was already a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, our Ice Silkworm clan had always been weak in battle and couldn't possibly break through by force. Fortunately, inside the cave there were many holes for me to crawl through. So, I crawled around looking for an exit. As a result, I didn't find an exit but instead found another even larger ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow. With the ice marrow, it meant I had food, so I fell into deep sleep once again, and this time it was for tens of thousands of years..."
