Doulou Dalu: The Power of a Book

Chapter 153: Ring Replacement Begins

Su Wen was quite satisfied to obtain this information from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"To think there's a direct trace of a ten-thousand-year-old Three-Eyed Phantom Fox."

This was something Su Wen hadn't anticipated.

Although it was known that a significant portion of Phantom Foxes reaching the ten-thousand-year level were mutated, the proportion occupied by the variant branch of the Three-Eyed Phantom Fox was actually only around one-tenth or one-twelfth.

Since it was uncertain whether ordinary Phantom Foxes could help him complete the Ring Replacement, Su Wen still leaned towards selecting a new Three-Eyed Phantom Fox.

There's only information on a nine-thousand-year-old Starlight Fruit Tree, and it's still uncertain whether it was killed by another Spirit Master, but at least there's a direction.

"As for the Stone Monsters, there seem to be extremely old ones in the Sunset Forest." Su Wen remembered Dugu Bo mentioning encountering a thirty-thousand-year-old Stone Monster in the Sunset Forest, and there might be even older ones deeper inside, possibly over fifty thousand years old.

Before leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Su Wen also inquired about the cultivation of individuals of these three types of Spirit Beasts, roughly around a thousand years.

Back in Heaven Dou City, Su Wen informed Xiao Zhan and Dugu Bo of his plan to travel.

They didn't try to dissuade him.

They were aware of Su Wen's alternative mimicry cultivation method, and they understood that traveling at this time was more like a final push.

Of course, letting Su Wen go with peace of mind was also because Su Wen now had the power to protect himself.

Being a Spirit King already placed him in the middle to high tier of power across the continent, and coupled with Su Wen's strength, he could even withstand encounters with Spirit Emperors.

Moreover, he also mastered the fifth Spirit Skill, Void Shuttle, so even if he encountered unbeatable enemies, he could escape.

Upon leaving Heaven Dou City, Su Wen did not immediately head to the Sunset Forest.

Stone Monsters in the Sunset Forest live in groups, and Dugu Bo hadn't figured out why, so it was safer not to rush into the depths to search for ten-thousand-year-old Stone Monsters.

Su Wen didn't want others to know about the process of Ring Replacement for now.

So he had to try hunting Spirit Beasts on his own, and he estimated that the maximum age of Spirit Beasts he could hunt alone now was around twenty thousand years.

Departing from Heaven Dou City, he headed straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.

Half a month later, on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Su Wen entered the Star Dou Great Forest from Star Fall Village in the southeast direction of the forest.

"Let's try the Ring Replacement with lower-aged Spirit Beasts first."

On the outskirts, Su Wen searched for the location of the Starlight Fruit Tree he knew.

It was a two-thousand-year-old Starlight Fruit Tree.

When Su Wen found this Starlight Fruit Tree, he discovered three guarding Spirit Beasts around it, originally ordinary Iron Rhinos, but now they appeared completely different from regular Iron Rhinos.

"So, this is the effect of the Starlight Fruit."

The Starlight Fruit Tree absorbed the power of the stars, which, while ferocious, also had a tempering effect on the physique. However, directly absorbing this force into the body would cause severe damage, and even Spirit Beasts rarely absorbed the power of the stars directly for body tempering.
