Unable to Cultivate, I Can Only Raise Soul Pets

Chapter 348: Ancient Civilization, Oracle Heavenly King

West Peak soul pet research base.

When he arrived again, Wang Che discovered that there were many people.

These people were either young or old. They were all Contract Soul Masters with Bamboo Bears.

“The Bamboo Bear is really a national soul pet…”

Wang Che looked at the black and white Bamboo Bears and roughly thought of something.

The Bamboo Bear was a continent pet of the West Peak soul pet base. However, due to its many forms and unique appearance, it was also very popular in other continents.

Other soul pet research bases in various continents would raise Bamboo Bears.

Many high schools would also introduce Bamboo Bears for students to choose from.

Now that a large number of Bamboo Bears had gathered here, a new form of evolution was definitely about to be announced.

“Student Wang, you’re here? Professor He has been waiting for you for a while, but she’s helping the other Bamboo Bears evolve. Come with me to take a look first.”

After entering the base, a white-haired old professor walked over with a kind expression.

Wang Che nodded and followed beside the old professor. He asked, “Has the new evolution form of the Bamboo Bear been announced?”

The old professor nodded first, then shook his head. He looked at Wang Che and asked, “It seems that Professor He didn’t tell you clearly.”

Wang Che had a thought and said, “Professor He only said that there was progress in the research of the six soul bones. She asked you to come back and try to let the soul bones activate the bloodline evolution of Bear Treasure…”

The old professor thought and said, “That’s about it, but the exact situation is not very good.”

“What does this mean?” Wang Che frowned slightly, “Could it be that there’s a problem with the soul bone?”

The old professor did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at the Contract Soul Masters coming and going and said, “When you came to our research base back then, you activated the six soul bones one after another. We’ve been conducting activation research since then.”

“There are six soul bones. Three of them are the soul bones of the Bear Emperor, and three are the soul bones of the Heaven Devouring Beast. A month ago, after we slowly activated the three soul bones of the Heaven Devouring Beast, we suddenly sensed a faint soul energy.”

“Soul energy?” Wang Che was stunned.

A soul bone that had existed for so many years still had soul energy?

“Then, when the three soul bones are combined, the soul energy emitted by the skull will appear and disappear,” the old professor continued, “Sometimes, it will emit some strange sounds. Fortunately, other than the three soul bones, there are not many changes.”

“There’s an obstacle in the research.”

“Later on, we discovered from the life force emitted by these three soul bones that this energy was very special. According to our modern speculation and research, we believe that the ancestral bloodline of the Bamboo Bear definitely has the bloodline of this Heaven Devouring Beast.”

“Moreover, there might not be many descendants with this Heaven Devouring Beast bloodline. It’s just that it’s very faint, causing the Bamboo Bear’s ability to not appear.”

“But since it’s related to the ancestral bloodline…”

“We’ve determined that the life force in these three soul bones can allow the Bamboo Bear to undergo a special evolution. Although it can’t restore the glory of the Heaven Devouring Beast in the Remote Antiquity Era, it can at least open up a brand new evolution path and allow the Bamboo Bear to awaken an even stronger ability!”

Hearing this, Wang Che nodded, feeling that there was no problem.

The life force contained in the soul bone from the Remote Antiquity Era, a divine object preserved from the ancient ruins, was not as simple as it seemed.

Soul bones, which were artifacts condensed from will and energy with the body, were treasures in themselves.

In Wang Che’s opinion, this thing was similar to a Dharma treasure.

Even if it was not used, wearing it could still unleash great power.

Its research value was very high.

If the Heaven Devouring Beast was really the ancestor of the Bamboo Bear, then it was very likely that the life force in the soul bone could allow the Bamboo Bear to evolve.

“Therefore, we used the Bamboo Bears raised in the base to undergo an evolution experiment…”

The old professor said, “In the end, we discovered that no Bamboo Bear could withstand the life force of these three soul bones. They could not even withstand one. A few of them even became mentally confused because of this and were treated for a long time. Professor He thinks that this might be because the Bamboo Bears raised by the base are relatively young in all aspects and too weak.”

“Therefore, we called for Contract Soul Masters with Bamboo Bears to come to the base to modify and evolve.”

“But because no successful evolution has appeared yet, Professor He’s explanation is very conservative. She only asked you to come and try.”

“Because your Bamboo Bear has the bloodline of a Giant Beast. The probability of it evolving should be higher…”

“No successful evolution has appeared?” Wang Che asked, “What about the soul energy emitted by the three soul bones? Have there been any research results?”

The old professor shook his head and said, “We invited a mental-type Heavenly King to study it, but he can’t analyze this soul energy. The Heavenly King said that perhaps the soul energy contained in the soul bone requires a soul pet to be able to withstand the soul bone’s life force and complete a certain level of absorption. This soul energy might automatically enter the soul pet and show itself.”

“If we forcefully use modern methods to analyze it, we can only dissipate this soul energy and gain nothing.”

“Even the soul bones will have problems.”

The old professor’s words made Wang Che think.

He knew that these soul bones were not that simple.

If the Giant Beasts of the ancient era could still be preserved until now, how strong were these Giant Beasts of the ancient era?

According to Professor He Huan, these Giant Beasts had at least a hundred thousand years of cultivation.

What was the soul energy left in the soul bone trying to do?

“What about the other three soul bones of the Bear Emperor?” Wang Che thought of something.

“The situation is similar,” the old professor said. “In the past week, after learning that our West Peak Continent will have a new Bamboo Bear evolution, many Contract Soul Masters with Bamboo Bears spontaneously want to try. They’ve tried the three soul bones of different races. They’re basically useless.”

“Is it related to soul power cultivation?” Wang Che asked, “Typically, very few Bamboo Bears reach a thousand years of cultivation. Most of them will choose to evolve in four forms at the hundred-year stage, right? Does it have to be a base form Bamboo Bear?”

“We’ve considered this problem.” The old professor brought Wang Che through many doors and arrived at the fourth floor square of the West Peak soul pet base, “However, among the Bamboo Bears we’ve tried, a few are close to three thousand years old, and there are even two that have reached five thousand years…”

Wang Che smiled.

If it cultivated the Bamboo Bear to this stage and did not evolve, it was similar to raising the green caterpillar to three to four thousand years without evolving.

Moreover, the Bamboo Bear could still choose to evolve. It had many more choices than the green caterpillar.

“Are you surprised?” The old professor smiled, “Most of these Contract Soul Masters are actually not professional Contract Soul Masters. Most of them nurture the Bamboo Bear as their family. It doesn’t matter if it evolves or not. They don’t need it to have too strong combat abilities.”

“There are also one or two who want to see if the Bamboo Bear will spontaneously evolve when its cultivation is high. In other words, it will purely evolve at the cultivation stage.”

“The Bamboo Bear with the highest soul power cultivation has a soul power cultivation of more than 5,000 years.”

“The research enthusiasm of our war zone’s Contract Soul Masters towards soul pet evolution is indeed worthy of praise… they are very determined…”

The old professor spoke tactfully.

Simply put, they were too bored and had nothing better to do…

The evolution of soul pets was their research base’s matter.

If the Bamboo Bear had a direct cultivation stage evolution, they would not have to study the four evolution forms of the Bamboo Bear.

Cultivation evolution meant that a soul pet would evolve at a fixed cultivation level.

For example, the green caterpillar would evolve into a Green Nether Butterfly after ten years of cultivation.

The Bamboo Bear had not evolved at the cultivation stage. Even if it was nurtured to a ten-thousand-year cultivation base, it could not evolve without specific conditions and special materials.

This was also why the Eastern War Zone had been studying the evolution of the Bamboo Bear.

In the history of the Eastern War Zone, many predecessors had already studied this very thoroughly.

However, in the modern world, there were still some people who did not believe it and wanted to try.

If Wang Che was not an Immortal Ascension big shot in his previous life, he would have evolved the green caterpillar at ten years of cultivation.

“So, these high-level Bamboo Bears didn’t evolve successfully?” Wang Che asked with a smile.

“It can’t be said that there are no changes at all…” The old professor paused and looked ahead, “Look ahead…”

Wang Che looked over.

The central square of the fourth level should have been temporarily built.

There were many Contract Soul Masters and Bamboo Bears watching.

Bamboo Bears of different sizes and shapes were in the center.

There were about a hundred of them in this batch.

The round Bamboo Bear was furry. It stood, squatted, lay, and crawled… Most of them were lazy. This was the nature of the Bamboo Bear.

There were also a few well-trained Bamboo Bears that stood solemnly on the spot like soldiers, waiting for the next test. These should be professional Contract Soul Masters.

Bamboo Bear Paradise.

Roars filled the air.

Wang Che felt the throbbing of his soul ring.

Bear Treasure probably sensed the aura of many of its kind and wanted to come out to take a look.

Currently, Bear Treasure was staying in the soul ring of its big brother, the little caterpillar, and enduring its training most of the time.

Normally, it would only be in Second Brother’s Magnetic Sword’s soul ring when playing.

Wang Che did not let Bear Treasure out for the time being. He planned to see the exact situation first.

Soon, a mechanical door opened from the ceiling.

Three huge soul bones that flickered with light fell slowly from the door above.

The Bamboo Bears were immediately attracted.

This was because these three soul bones were too shocking for them, who were still young.

At the top was a torso bone that was at least 50 meters tall. It was formed by more than a hundred diamond-like ribs. In the middle, there was a spine that was connected to it. The body of the bone was densely packed with mosquito-like seals. As light circulated, the seals on it seemed to flicker.

Wang Che narrowed his eyes and continued watching.

Below were two left and right leg bones.

The complete leg bone was not shorter than the torso bone. In fact, it was longer and larger.

The leg bone was slightly bent, as if it was waiting to attack. Just the foot was larger than a Bamboo Bear.

“In the Remote Antiquity Era, soul bones could change size according to the user’s will,” the old professor said. “Therefore, these three soul bones should be the original form that no human has obtained after the Heaven Devouring Beast died.”

“Humans have never obtained it before, but the life force inside is very complete.”

“This is very strange.”

“There might be some soul beast secrets of the Remote Antiquity Era hidden among them.”

For example, how did these ancient and powerful soul beasts die?

If it was killed by humans, why were these soul bones in their original form?

If it was not killed by humans, if it died in battle, why would the soul bone be so intact?

Moreover, it was very difficult for such powerful soul beasts to kill each other. Once a battle broke out, it would definitely be a life and death battle between the two races. If it was not an old enemy, such battles were rare among soul beasts.

These soul beasts had already gone extinct before the Fallen Ancient Era.

They had not experienced that calamity.

When He Huan mentioned the Bear Emperor, Wang Che had never heard of it from the Sky God Dragon.

It was obvious that it was ancient.

The three soul bones slowly landed.

At the front, a light green energy pillar suddenly shot out and shone on the three soul bones.

In an instant, the three soul bones suddenly lit up as if they had been activated.

A mysterious soul energy flickered like fireworks, forming a blurry shadow in the square.

An ancient voice came from the shadows!

At the same time, the three soul bones suddenly lit up. Every part of the soul bone emitted a bright light, forming an ancient pattern that seemed to represent some mysterious power.

But soon, the pattern quickly shattered. Among them, the right leg bone suddenly shot out energy paths that quickly flowed through the entire square.

They were densely packed, like countless meteors running amok in the square.

Wang Che felt majestic life force.

It was the life force that burst out of the soul bone!

Life meteors began to charge into the Bamboo Bears below.

“Roar!”

A life meteor struck one of the Bamboo Bears about three meters tall like a missile.

The Bamboo Bear suddenly shouted as its fur began to swell!

Its size increased by dozens of centimeters at a visible speed! Its eyes lost their pupils and turned pure white, erupting with a dazzling light! It was as if a laser had been shot out. It was very terrifying!

As its size increased, crisp sounds sounded from inside its body.

It was the sound of bones swelling!

In a hurry, the Bamboo Bear suddenly extended its hand and covered the ears on both sides of its head. While enduring the life force, it seemed to have heard something and seemed to be in pain.

Other than this Bamboo Bear, the other Bamboo Bears were in a similar situation.

A few Bamboo Bears with higher cultivation levels than 2,000 years grew even larger.

But soon, not even a minute passed.

The Bamboo Bears began to faint.

Mysterious Soul Guiding Diagrams began to appear around the three soul bones, as if sealing them. Life meteors gradually stopped erupting from the right leg.

Peace was restored.

Only on the ground, the Bamboo Bears lay on the ground. Their size began to return to its original state, but their faces revealed conflicting expressions of pain and joy.

“We activated the life force in one of the right legs.” The old professor sighed, “But even so many Bamboo Bears could not withstand it… You should have felt it just now, right?”

“That’s actually a sign of evolution.”

“However, it’s only a sign. It’s still worlds away from true evolution…”

“In essence, it’s because they can’t withstand the life force of the soul bone. Moreover, after the life force entered their bodies, they seem to be enduring some other test?”

“We speculate that it might be a mental test produced by the soul energy in the soul bone.”

“But the trouble is that these Bamboo Bears won’t remember what happened just now… We have no way of knowing. We thought of some ways, but we can’t keep the memories of this period.”

The old professor looked at Wang Che and shook his head helplessly. He discovered that the latter was deep in thought.

“Have you studied the pattern formed when the three soul bones were activated?” Wang Che asked.

“Yes.” The old professor nodded, “Our pattern was sent to the central Soul Guiding Diagram research institute. We all think that it should be a life pattern from the Remote Antiquity Era, similar to our modern Soul Guiding Diagram. The effect should be to preserve the life force in the soul bone.”

“Due to the break in civilization in the Remote Antiquity Era, when these patterns appeared, it was indeed a major research result.”

“It proves that in the Remote Antiquity Era, there was also a special energy structure similar to our modern Soul Guiding Diagram.”

“But it’s not much help in the evolution of the Bamboo Bear.”

Wang Che nodded.

He saw something different.

Those patterns were not simple Soul Guiding Diagrams.

It also contained an extremely exquisite diagram. It was a circulatory structure of many array diagrams.

Not only could it preserve the life force in the soul bone, but it could also slowly absorb the life force of the outside world to maintain the activity of the soul bone and not be corroded by time and space.

He did not expect such an array formation to exist in a completely activated soul bone.

It was rather deep.

In the Remote Antiquity Era, there was such a profound array formation in the soul bone.

This meant that the civilization of this world’s ancient era was not low.

He was deep in thought.

A clear voice came from behind.

“How was it? Did you feel anything?”

It was Professor He Huan.

Wang Che turned around and saw Professor He Huan and another mature woman with a hot figure and a beautiful face walking over.

Unlike He Huan, Wang Che knew at a glance that this woman was definitely a Heavenly King.

She emitted a mature and dignified aura, and its gaze seemed to be able to see through souls.

Wang Che looked at her and felt a slight shock in his mind. His divine sense fluctuated quite a bit.

The latter’s gaze paused, as if she was surprised.

“Professor He.”

Wang Che nodded and said, “I don’t feel anything. I haven’t tried it before, so I’m not sure.”

He Huan yawned and smiled, “You sound quite confident. Let me introduce you. This is the Oracle Heavenly King in our war zone. She specializes in mental strength.”

As she spoke, He Huan teased, “Don’t look at her casually. Otherwise, be careful that this old witch sees through your pants.”

Wang Che: “…”

He coughed and smiled.

“If a Heavenly King wants to see through us, they can do it without looking at us, right?”

She specialized in mental strength.

No wonder his divine sense began to shook upon contact.

“Wang Che…” The Oracle Heavenly King glanced at Wang Che and nodded slightly, “I’ve heard of you a long time ago. I was one of them who helped the Sky God Dragon seal it. You’re not simple at all.”

With that, the Oracle Heavenly King glanced at He Huan and sneered, “In front of you, I don’t dare to call myself an old witch… In terms of age, you should be slightly older than me, right?”

“My mental age is indeed older than yours.” He Huan nodded, “It’s hard to say in terms of physical age.”

“Get lost,” the Oracle Heavenly King said softly.

Seeing this, Wang Che was a little impressed by He Huan’s connections again.

To have such a good relationship with so many Heavenly Kings, she was really not simple.

At this moment, a researcher rushed over and muttered in front of He Huan.

“He still wants to try?” He Huan shook her head, “No, this evolution can only be tried once. Otherwise, it will cause too much damage to the soul pet.”

With that, He Huan said to the Oracle Heavenly King, “Go talk to him.”
