Chapter 42

Preparing for one of the most dangerous and exciting journeys in my life, because not every time I am going to tumble into the gathering place of tens of hundred-thousand-year-old spiritual beasts and with a king, although rather a queen, silver dragons in addition, albeit a sleeping one, began to remember the next 20 thousand years of my life.

It's funny by the way, even though I understand that millennia and even more pass, I do not feel moral fatigue at all, in my past world, by the age of 18, I began to wonder, why do anything at all, if in the end you don't care to die, because of this I often had a rather depressed mood, and doing the same type of business for a long time was tiring, but now I am over 30 thousand years old and I feel energized.

Well, okay, without being distracted by extraneous thoughts, he began to sum up his VERY vigorous activity over the past 20 thousand years, not to mention his development and the development of his family, in which there is now one uncommunicative replenishment, we took control and began to change the whole the extreme north, which was quite difficult to do.

Even if I was not interested in reign in the style of a king or an emperor, and in general I did not have the slightest desire to take responsibility for hundreds of millions of beasts of the spirit of the far north, although in the beginning there was an idea to create my kingdom of spirit beasts, it quickly came out out of my head, squeezed out by very undeniable facts. Despite the seemingly large number of spirit animals in the far north, only a miserable fraction of a percent had at least some worthwhile potential. And there is no need to talk about the beasts of the spirit capable of breaking through at least a 200-thousand-year line, not even 10, not counting our family. And I didn't want to command a small fish, of course, there are many sayings that a group of the weak will be able to stutter a strong one, and I, in principle, agree with them, but only when the difference in strength is not too huge, but what if it is tens, hundreds and thousands of times weaker, no number will help here.

Of course, although I didn't want to command or reign over the beasts of the spirit, I did make some changes. From the beginning, several four-meter pillars were made of ice from a source of ice and fire, which were placed in a circle in the central region of the far north, each of which was buried deep under the ice and is now guarded by the strongest clans of the far north: the clan of snow demons-titans, the clan of jade ice scorpions, the ice bear clan, the ice devils clan and 5, the largest, which was located in the very center of the far north and was guarded by our family.

The banal installation of 5 ice pillars doubled the concentration of icy energy in the central area, making it difficult for even a titled fighting spirit to stay here for more than half an hour unless it is an ice type.

The "law" was also driven in - all the beasts of the spirit that will feel the impending death will have to appear in the central area to feed the main pillar, which did not meet much resistance, yet not all beasts of the spirit have first-class talents, many species do not even survive up to the ten-thousand-year level, even those who are capable of becoming one hundred thousand-year-old spiritual beasts in 70% of cases will not even survive the first heavenly tribulation. It was the same in the sunset forest, of course, for selfish purposes, the bones of the spirit will never be superfluous, even if I cannot use them, but I have never denied a simple fact, for the most part only people at present can become gods, advancement my disciple, loyal to me, into a deity or my potential girlfriend will cost quite a lot of resources, and if I don't start spending high-quality spiritual bones on a possible disciple, then I will certainly not regret the girl.

Of course, I did not bypass my development. During this time, I was very often in the human world and was looking for everything unique, skills, knowledge, resources, and I dragged all this for myself.

Therefore, after 20 thousand years, I already have a lot of self-created spiritual skills and not only. I have finally collected for myself a more or less decent development technique, even if it has not been divided into levels, at least for now, but its essence was to condense spiritual strength, increase its quality, increase its quantity at the same level; general nutrition, strengthening and strengthening of the body and mind, I did not even decide to give it a name, as it was too "raw".

The usual spiritual techniques also did not pass by, the same jade hands of Tang San served as a good idea for one technique, which I decided to name quite simply: the technique of the jade body, which is already conditional, but was divided into several levels: jade skin, jade bones, jade internal organs, and full jade body.

As the name implies, it turned the practitioner's body into jade, of course, you could choose other, denser metals or crystals for this, but jade does not corrode, is strong enough, does not let poisons pass, but its main feature, due to what I chose is it - the exceptionally high toughness - the jade is almost impossible to crack. My armor is very strong and durable, to break through it is just a huge effort, but this is also my weakness, because my scales are too strong and formally consist of super-strong ice, they will crack if they take a blow, exceeding their strength, the technique of the jade body eliminates this disadvantage.

I also created copies of already known skills, namely the technique of breathing from a blade that cuts through demons, which does not even consume the strength of the spirit for use, but at least 5 times increased the endurance of the body and accelerated the absorption of spiritual strength, well, just used the resources of the body to the maximum, that is, let the bodywork for wear and tear, but showed all 120% of its power.

I did not bypass the cool bodily skill of the monkey from the island of the sea god, the guy rebuilt his body, strengthening the body, rebuilding and strengthening the joints and tendons, and reducing the size of the internal organs to the size of the needle's ear, he also took into account the weakness of this technique, namely the eyes, they remained all the same soft, and in general, the eyes are almost always the weak point of any living creature, so I corrected this defect, but now even my eyes were protected, like my scales.

Of course, the usual development also did not stand still, and during this time, thanks to the co-cultivation technique, which I nevertheless modified and used, our development nevertheless accelerated by 15%, which, in principle, is not small for the "raw" technology, so now I was already 270 thousand years old, during this time, not only did my mother successfully pass my second heavenly sorrow, but my mother and sister also successfully passed their 2 and 1 tests, respectively, while, just like me, tempering the internal organs with heavenly lightning, fortunately, it was less painful for them than for me in the beginning, since I did not hide the techniques and, as they were created, I immediately shared them with my family.

Bing Bing and Xue'Di are only a few thousand years away before their 4th and 6th celestial sorrow, so during this time I will have time not only to drive the Star Doe forest, but it is also time to start looking for this worm, in just a few thousand years I I will break through the 300,000-year level and my agreement with Bing'er will expire, so we need to prepare a presentation.

Because I also studied the manufacture of spatial rings during this time, I simply go with Thanos plans and 30 free spirit rings for 3000 cubic meters of space and my masterpiece, a spatial ring made of a frosty heart of an iron spirit over a hundred thousand years old, which contains 15,000 cubic meters of space at once and now serves as my storage.

In general, I'm ready to squeeze out resources to the fullest, but still, these are not my main goals on this journey, my priority is to find the imperial beast Rui or the three-eyed golden lion, a beast of the soul that has an affinity for fate, can double the rate of cultivation of spirit beasts and increase the chance the passage of heavenly sorrow. Since only one individual can be alive at a time, I will have to work hard for its possession, but oh well, even if I now meet Di Tian, ​​and his base of cultivation without absorbing the ice silkworm should not be even 600 thousand, and given the time, he is now most likely 400-500 thousand years, so if I go all out, I can quite compete with him.

P.S. Forcing events, further adventures in the forest of the Star Doe, gaining the ability to take the form of a human, everyday routine, 18+ chapters, and hello canon.
