Ever since Tang Wulin had made it into Shrek Academy, he had only used the Spirit Ascension Plane on a few occasions, but he could still clearly recall the feeling of his soul spirits being enhanced in the plane.

However, the conditions that had to be satisfied to enter the Spirit Ascension Plane were very steep, and according to the teachers of Shrek Academy, it would be very difficult for soul spirits to continue to improve in the Spirit Ascension Plane after they reached the black grade. All of Tang Wulin's soul spirits were currently of an extremely high caliber, thereby making the plane redundant to him.

Tang Wulin was quite taken aback by the fact that there was such an examination during this event, and he couldn't help but think back to his encounter with Beast God Di Tian. He was very confident in himself, but he had been made to feel completely powerless in the face of the Beast God, and if it weren't for his golden trident, he would most likely already be dead.

With that in mind, he reflexively thought of the giant silver claw that his friends had mentioned. Who could that claw belong to? Could it be that another almighty being capable of commanding even the Beast God existed in the depths of the Great Star Dou Forest? Could this mean that soul beasts weren't extinct, after all?

The Spirit Pagoda was providing this examination to Soul Masters who were at rank 60 in soul power, so the soul beasts within this plane were definitely going to be quite formidable.

"May I ask the name of the plane?" Tang Wulin asked.

A worker replied, "This is the Myriad Beast Plane that Ms. Gu Yuena recently developed; you'll be sure to reap unexpected benefits inside. As such, this eighth examination is actually a reward for all participants of this event. You'll know what I mean once you enter the plane."

Lan Fuozi couldn't help but praise, "Ms. Gu Yuena truly is the perfect woman! She possesses power, intellect, and beauty of equal measure, and... Hey, wait for me! Why are you in such a hurry?"

Tang Wulin had already made his way over to the entrance of the Myriad Beast Plane, which was a door of light. According to the workers, he would be able to commence the trial once he entered through this door.

This was different from the Spirit Ascension Plane, which one entered spiritually through a device. In contrast, it seemed that the Soul Masters would be physically entering the Myriad Beast Plane, so this was a fundamental difference.

Tang Wulin strode into the door of light without any hesitation, and from Lan Fuozi's perspective, Tang Wulin simply vanished amid a flash of light.

Tang Wulin had gone on ahead, but he certainly wasn't going to fall behind.

Thus, Lan Fuozi also strode into the door of light and vanished right on Tang Wulin's heels.

Violent yet linear spatial fluctuations surged through the surrounding area, and Tang Wulin felt the space around him warp while experiencing the changes taking place nearby.

The power of space was extremely mysterious and fearsome, and if space were to shatter, it could produce terrifying destructive power.

However, using his Spirit Domain realm spiritual power, Tang Wulin was able to calmly experience this teleportation process.

If my body is being teleported into the Myriad Beast Plane, then wouldn't I be in actual danger if I were to battle a soul beast in there? How are they going to address this issue?

Tang Wulin was very curious and intrigued.

This teleportation process felt much like the process of teleporting into the Dragon Valley in the Star Luo Empire, and he couldn't help but wonder if that small world still existed.

All of a sudden, he was instantly struck by a sense of weightlessness, and his soul core immediately contracted, circulating soul power throughout his body to stabilize him in mid-air.

He inspected his internal condition while also appraising his surroundings, and he discovered that his bodily condition was completely normal.

All of his powers, regardless of whether it was his spiritual power or soul power, remained completely unaffected by his entry into this space.

Tang Wulin's soul power was currently still at rank 91. It wasn't that he was unable to progress beyond this point; he was intentionally slowing down his own rate of progression to prevent his foundation from becoming unstable in the aftermath of his sudden and unexpected breakthrough to the Titled Douluo level.

His goal wasn't just to become a Titled Douluo; his aspirations laid among the gods. As such, he had to make sure that every step he took was firm and steady.

Back when he had first become a Titled Douluo, he had already sensed that a second soul core was materializing within his mind, but it was still quite abstract and indistinct at the time. Now, the second soul core was gradually beginning to take shape, and it was slowly fusing as one with his Spirit Domain realm spiritual power.

This soul core was clearly different from the one in his dantian in that not only was it able to draw upon his soul power, it was able to do the same with his spiritual power, thereby acting as an ideal bridge between the two.

Once a Soul Master reached a certain level in their cultivation, they would be able to fuse their spiritual power and soul power together to culminate in many powerful skills and abilities.

On top of that, with his soul power nourishing and protecting his mind, he would be able to release more spiritual power as well.

As his second soul core continued to mature, Tang Wulin found that his spiritual domain was also becoming more stable and easier to control.

What currently lied before him was a world that was filled with vitality, and it struck him with a strong sense of familiarity.

A peculiar look appeared on Tang Wulin's face as he was reminded of the Great Star Dou Forest.

Not long ago, he had almost perished with all of his friends in the Great Star Dou Forest, and he didn't think that he would be able to enter the forest again during this joust for a spouse event.

Regardless of whether this Myriad Beast Plane was a simulated space or something else, it had definitely been designed with the Great Star Dou Forest as reference.

There was no mistaking it as Tang Wulin was the Son of Nature, so he possessed a very acute sense for life force energy in nature.

However, when he tried to experience his surroundings in greater depth, he discovered that this space was somehow not as substantial as the true Great Star Dou Forest despite its physical likeness. This was most likely an independent small space that the Spirit Pagoda had somehow created.

Even though it was still different from the true Great Star Dou Forest, one could only imagine the vast amount of resources that would've been required to create such a space. As expected, the Spirit Pagoda really was truly a formidable powerhouse when it came to wealth.

The Dragon Valley was a small world as well, but it had been formed naturally, and the Tang Sect had only found a key to access that small word. In the Dragon Valley, the dragon spirits and dragon clouds a Soul Master obtained from the Dragon Valley could enhance their bodies on a fundamental level, and Tang Wulin's endeavor of burying dragon skeletons for three years definitely contributed significantly to the rapid progression he had made in his cultivation thereafter.

Without the nourishment his body had received during that time, he would've most likely already perished while breaking one of his past Golden Dragon King seals.

Tang Wulin took a deep breath, inhaling a lungful of refreshing air. Regardless of whether this was a real place or not, it instilled him with a sense of comfort.

Just as he was about to descend into the forest, the loud cry of a bird suddenly rang out overhead.

He was quite startled by this, and he immediately raised his head to find a ball of azure light pouncing down toward him like lightning.

The ball of azure light had appeared extremely abruptly, and it was incredibly fast.

In response, Tang Wulin immediately crossed his arms to form a barricade in front of himself while also releasing his dragon's repulse.

"Boom!" The massive impact caused him to fly backward, but the ball of azure light was also repelled by his dragon's repulse.

Only then did Tang Wulin identify it as a huge azure bird that was quite spectacular to behold. Its entire body was of an azure color, and it looked as if it had been carved out of a piece of jade. Its wingspan was around five meters, and it had a pair of menacing green eyes and sharp talons. Even the edges of its wings resembled sharp blades.

Is this... an Azure Jade Bird?

This was a type of soul beast that had been extinct for many years!

Azure Jade Birds were extremely aggressive and would actively attack all living beings that they encountered, but funnily enough, they were herbivorous, and their diets mainly consisted of fruits and seeds.
