CHAPTER 03 – MILLION YEAR SPIRIT RING
Part 1
As Huo Yuhao was listening to the Daydream Iceworm’s story, he suddenly had a curious thought. *This name of his… Did he give it to himself because he was sleeping all the time?*
“Even though I couldn’t get out of the ice cave, the feeling that the ten-thousand-year ice essences gave me was wonderful. Afterwards, I decided I might as well not leave at all. I would rather crawl around eating more ten-thousand-year ice essences. Every time I found a cl.u.s.ter of essences to eat, I would take a long nap after. In the end, even I had lost track of how much time I spent sleeping, until the first golden mark appeared on my body.
“A golden mark holds a special significance for us Iceworms. It symbolizes our advancement into the hundred-thousand-year level. In my memory, there had never been a single hundred-thousand-year Iceworm. I was the first in history! At that time, I had evolved into a Golden-tattooed Iceworm. At the same time, I had gained the strength to break out of the ice. I didn’t know then, that a hundred thousand years was the highest limit for a Spirit Beast. It is nearly impossible to cultivate further. Maybe it was my fortune plus the natural deficiency in the fighting strength of us Iceworms but no misfortune befell me. *Cough cough* Um… After sleeping so much, I was too lazy to go outside. I might as well just continue sleeping in the ice cave. Because my cultivation was higher, I could go to places I couldn’t reach before. This led me to find even more valuable ice essences which ended up becoming my food.
“Like this, I would eat, then sleep. Sleep, then eat. I didn’t know how much time had pa.s.sed. The only way I could count my age was by the number of golden marks on my body.
