Chapter 173 The Insect God Arrives

Chapter 173 - The Arrival of the Worm God Seed

Old Wang asked curiously, "What kind of place is this Frozen Dragon Path?"

"It's said that a peak dragon-level monster fell here and became the Frozen Dragon Path. Anyway, I think it's all nonsense. Dragon Peak, the Ice Spirit Kingdom would have been destroyed. Let me tell you, you'll never find a better master than me in your life," Xuecai tried to pat Old Wang's head but couldn't reach, so she patted his shoulder instead: "Little Wang, work hard and follow me, and I guarantee you won't be at a loss! Don't believe me? Ask Bingbing; I spoil her the most!"

That servant who was clearly very timid but almost forced to kill by you? She'll probably have nightmares for the rest of her life...

Old Wang nodded repeatedly, expressing deep sympathy and mourning. Feeling relieved that no one was watching, Wang Feng also breathed a sigh of relief, having gotten through the ordeal without any major issues.

He now had no time to worry about anything else. To be honest, although most of his judgments since arriving here were correct, he really needed to figure out how to use his single Eye Soul Pearl. It wasn't to show off or fight, as he was a man who loved peace. The key was to save his life in dangerous situations.

As for others' opinions, Old Wang had never cared about them.

Wang Feng extended his hand, and a brilliant pearl slowly emerged, transforming from an energy form into a solid one.

It was the Eye Soul Pearl from the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Soul Pearl. Of course, Old Wang liked to call it the Single Eye Pearl. Why?

Because it's impressive!

Old Wang bit his finger, cursing under his breath at the pain. He felt this procedure was a bit outdated. If this happened in the game, players might have complained, but this was how things were done here, as he had heard from Yin Fu.

Treasure artifacts choose their masters.

The blood dripped onto the Heavenly Soul Pearl, which happily absorbed it and disappeared. Wang Feng felt elated, knowing that with his protagonist's aura, he could still achieve great things in this world if he put his mind to it.

The Heavenly Soul Pearl emitted a faint glow, and Wang Feng truly looked forward to it. This was his first treasure in this world, and it was crucial. It was time to see what it could do.

The light trembled, and then... nothing happened?

Old Wang turned the pearl over and over, finding no changes. ... Thud ...

The Heavenly Soul Pearl dropped to the ground, making Old Wang's heart skip a beat. Damn, if it broke, his heart would break too. Two million for this thing, and he even sold his golden body for it.

Failed recognition?

Was he the most miserable protagonist ever?

Since he couldn't go back, why did it have to be so cruel? Old Wang quickly picked up the pearl and wiped it clean. This wasn't a joke. He wanted to be a strong man, and just joking around wouldn't get him far in this world.

The blood was absorbed, indicating acceptance, but it didn't succeed... Perhaps the body's original bloodline wasn't compatible. Treasure artifacts belonged to the realm of natural wonders, and ordinary talents wouldn't suffice. Old Wang infused soul power, as Yin Fu had mentioned this second step. Her treasure artifact recognized its master similarly, and some artifacts were notoriously difficult to recognize their masters, but she had no trouble connecting with hers.

If he were a treasure artifact, he'd want a cute master like Yin Fu too.

Old Wang fiddled with the decent-looking Heavenly Soul Pearl, "Brother, give me some face. Recognizing me as your boss won't be a loss. After all, I dug you out from that dark place, spent two million, and gave up countless riches from another world. Even if it were a sacrifice, it would be enough for a divine artifact."

While muttering, Old Wang infused soul power. Thankfully, the Heavenly Soul Pearl didn't reject the input. Like a soul artifact, infusing soul power revealed its intricate structure, akin to integrated circuits. The unassuming Heavenly Soul Pearl's structure surpassed all the order masks and treasure lutes he had encountered before.

As more soul power flowed in, the Heavenly Soul Pearl went from being indifferent to pleasantly surprised and then eagerly responsive, soon emitting a golden glow. Wang Feng could clearly feel these changes.

Whoosh...

A slight tremor, and the Heavenly Soul Pearl vibrated slightly. Its surface patterns interacted with floating runes, creating a magical energy flow that transformed and merged.

The Heavenly Soul Pearl 'came alive,' with its patterns constantly changing and flowing, layered beautifully and intricately, as if crafted by nature itself.

The Worm God Seed played a crucial role, and soon the Heavenly Soul Pearl returned to its 'soul state.' This time, Wang Feng felt a sense of belonging, not just possession.

It wasn't in his chest or his hand but hidden in a peculiar space, always within reach and able to be summoned, as if fused with his soul, existing between reality and the ethereal.

Old Wang summoned and released it, then summoned it again, marveling at the phenomenon. However, after trying for a while, he found no powerful abilities, just a decorative object. Damn... this thing seemed useless.

... Could it be that all nine pearls were needed for it to work?

That wouldn't help much. With his talent, he needed a good start, and he could handle the rest on his own.

Suddenly, Wang Feng felt something.

His body tingled, and the Single Eye Heavenly Pearl began to emit a gentle aura, making Old Wang feel comfortable and peaceful, as if nourishing his soul.

His soul, which had previously been unable to merge with his body, was now drawn towards the pearl. Gradually, it started to integrate with Old Wang's body.

This process was gradual but not slow. Old Wang's senses rapidly enhanced, and the constant ringing in his ears vanished, along with the 'snowflakes' he often saw. When the two fully merged, Old Wang shivered.

The soul power in his physical body was just an external manifestation; the true source of soul power came from the soul!

Previously, he had relied on the body's innate soul power to maintain basic functions, but now, the soul power finally had a source!

The feeling of the soul nourishing the body, the influx of soul power into his body, was like dry earth receiving spring water, gradually healing its cracks and turning into fertile soil!

Only two words could describe it—comfort!

Wang Feng stood still, eyes vacant, as soul power surged through his body, undergoing transformation. At this moment, he knew this was the true arrival.

In the darkness of Ice Spirit City, a massive bolt of lightning suddenly tore through the sky, illuminating the entire Ice Spirit Kingdom as bright as day. Moments later, accompanied by thunderous roars, hailstones rained down.

Many people in the Ice Spirit Holy Sanctuary were astonished by this spectacle, a phenomenon unheard of. The Nine Heavens Continent was no stranger to such wonders, each one either heralding the appearance of a treasure or the birth of a dragon-level monster...

In the dormitory of the Ice Spirit Holy Sanctuary, Wang Feng opened his eyes.

The Worm God Seed, a T0 sequence existence, had finally arrived in the Nine Heavens Continent!

Tremble, you scum!

I will never... tell you, hmph!

Old Wang paid no attention to the lightning and hail outside. He marveled at his open palm, gently clenching it, feeling a sense of control.

He tried picking up the water cup on the table.

Sure, here is the translation:

　The thick porcelain mug shattered, and water spilled all over the floor.
