27. The water god's telepathic message, a strange sensation.
27. The water god's telepathic message, a strange sensation.
Under these measures, Ling Bingtian's body finally calmed down and stopped convulsing violently.
Although the pain still lingered, it was now tolerable for Ling Bingtian.
Finally, to Ling Bingtian's excited gaze, a touch of noble purple appeared in the pure yellow silk thread and quickly spread out.
As the purple silk threads appeared, Ling Bingtian felt the chill from behind gradually dissipate.
At this point, Ling Bingtian knew it was time to stop; he couldn't bite off more than he could chew.
He deliberately severed the connection between his soul power and the divinely bestowed soul ring, preparing to welcome the arrival of his first soul ring.
As Ling Bingtian severed the connection with the golden mist shield, the changing colors of the silk threads stopped shifting, finally settling on a pure yellow tinged with a touch of noble purple.
Under Ling Bingtian's lingering pain and burning gaze, the yellowish-purple silk thread rapidly flew upwards, connecting end to end, and finally forming a ring.
The color on it also began to change drastically, with a touch of purple spreading out and replacing the pure yellow on the side. Almost instantly, the color of the entire circular thread turned into a light purple.
Finally, the silk thread trembled slightly and transformed into a ring of energy that shimmered with a pale purple hue—a thousand-year soul ring!
This time, without Ling Bingtian having to guide it, the thousand-year soul ring floated to Ling Bingtian's front and established a connection with him.
Ling Bingtian was naturally more than happy to accept it. He relaxed his mind and body, closed his eyes, and wholeheartedly welcomed the integration of his first soul ring.
This time, there was neither torment nor warmth; everything in the process highlighted only one word: natural and inevitable.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the thousand-year soul ring completely disappeared in front of Ling Bingtian.
The very next second after it disappeared, Ling Bingtian opened his eyes, which he had just closed. In each of his eyes, there seemed to be a phantom of an ice crystal phoenix soaring.
"Clang—" A sound resembling the cry of a phoenix rang out from Ling Bingtian's mouth. He unconsciously stood up, stretched out his body, and his familiar ice crystal armor appeared, with his ice crystal wings spread as wide as possible.
Most importantly, there was the soul ring that appeared behind him, shimmering with a noble, pale purple light.
A divinely bestowed soul ring! Absorption successful!
Judging from the feedback from the divinely bestowed soul ring, this thousand-year soul ring is approximately 1,800 years old.
A tremendous sense of satisfaction and accomplishment welled up from the bottom of Ling Bingtian's heart as he felt the immense power within his body.
"However, my first soul skill..."
Feeling the soul skill information transmitted to him by the soul ring, Ling Bingtian couldn't help but frown. How strange.
"Child, it seems you have succeeded." The Ice God's familiar voice rang out from in front of him, and Ling Bingtian realized that the Ice God was still watching him.
Unlike the embarrassing moment when his clothes ripped off while absorbing the soul bone, Ling Bingtian responded to the Ice God with a divine gesture this time: "Thank you for your protection, I absorbed it very successfully."
"Perfect. Come forward and touch this ice crystal to see how strong your soul power is now." The Ice God was very satisfied with Ling Bingtian's attitude, and then controlled the altar to raise an ice crystal in front of Ling Bingtian.
Clearly, this ice crystal was used to test Ling Bingtian's current soul power strength.
Separated by countless planes and having not sensed the soul power of Douluo Continent for a long time, the Ice God could not grasp the level of soul power within Ling Bingtian's body.
Fortunately, after communicating with his ancestor Ling Bingtian, the Ice God was able to create a soul power testing ice crystal in this dimension using a soul power testing crystal that the ancestor had given him for research.
With the Ice God's intervention, even a Title Douluo could be accurately measured by this Soul Power Testing Ice Crystal.
"Yes."
Ling Bingtian was also incredibly curious about his current level. So after answering, he stepped forward, placed his hand on the ice crystal, and channeled his soul power into it.
As he channeled his soul power, bright red numbers appeared on the ice crystal, jumping from 0 until Ling Bingtian felt some strain, at which point the numbers finally stopped.
19!
Two bright red numbers were imprinted on the ice crystal, symbolizing Ling Bingtian's current soul power level.
"Alas!" Ling Bingtian couldn't help but smile inwardly, knowing that his suffering had not been in vain.
Level 19!
I'm only 6 years old! Apart from the monster martial soul of the Qian Renxue family with innate level 20, who else on the entire Douluo Continent can reach this level at this age?
To put it bluntly, I've already outpaced quite a few mice on the mainland right from the start. (laughs)
Most importantly, Ling Bingtian could sense that the number had fluctuated at the last moment, but it was ultimately limited by the soul power within his body and failed to make the leap.
This means that I'm not far from reaching the bottleneck of a level 20 Great Soul Master.
Clear and transparent! Ling Bingtian felt a sense of comfort in his heart at this moment.
The frustration of being targeted by Zhao Tong and imprisoned for a year and a half, and the pain he felt from absorbing the soul ring and soul bone, were nothing at this moment.
Worth it! That was the only thought left in Ling Bingtian's mind.
However, Ling Bingtian still maintained a respectful demeanor before the Ice God. As long as his power was not yet capable of resisting Him, he would never make any disrespectful moves towards Him.
The Ice God, far above the divine realm, couldn't help but nod in satisfaction upon seeing the number 19 and Ling Bingtian's posture; his successor was indeed quite good.
With his natural talent and strong willpower, and given his background in a military family, there's no need to worry about his future efforts.
It seems that it really won't be long before I can retire. Thinking of this, a satisfied smile couldn't help but appear on the Ice God's face, which was as cold as ancient ice.
Looking at Ling Bingtian, the Ice God was thinking of asking him what his first soul skill was and giving him some pointers on combat techniques when he received a notification from a higher being in the God Realm.
The source of the notification was none other than the Ice God's superior in the divine realm, the Water God, a first-level deity.
"Ice God, come quickly to the center of the divine realm! An unknown enemy is attacking!" An urgent voice came from the direction of the divine realm, following the divine power. Unlike the Ice God, the Water God had a passionate personality that was completely different from what one would expect from a god.
However, thanks to the Water God's kindness, the Ice God has received a lot of care from Him over the years.
Therefore, the Ice God still took the Water God's message very seriously.
With the power of the five great god-kings of the divine realm, what external enemy could possibly pose a threat to it? The Ice God was somewhat dismissive, believing that the Water God had probably been fooled by that bastard again.
However, just before leaving, the Ice God suddenly felt as if something was stirring his mind.
This feeling quickly caught the attention of the Ice God.
This feeling had occurred to Him many times before He became God. Each time this feeling arose, it meant He was about to face a major choice, and thankfully, over the years, He made the right choice most of the time.
Moreover, through so many choices, He has gradually figured out a pattern in the selection process.
That is—to follow your heart's choice.
Now, going to the center of the divine realm is His choice, but He has another option in His heart.
Feeling the thoughts in her heart, the Ice God looked at Ling Bingtian, who was standing on the altar and bowing to her, and made a decision in her heart.
