Chapter 104: Who Is She?
Qi Tian's Blue Silver King martial soul successfully evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor.
Far away, dozens of miles deep within the Blue Silver Forest, the Blue Silver King instantly sensed the presence of the Blue Silver Emperor.
Unfortunately, it could not extend its spiritual power that far and could only wait patiently within the Blue Silver Forest for the Blue Silver Emperor's return.
The phenomenon caused by Qi Tian's Blue Silver Emperor martial soul gradually dissipated, and his spirit soul returned to its soul ring.
"Qi Tian, are you alright?" Zhu Zhuqing, who had been protecting him at the side, hurried over with deep concern in her eyes.
Qi Tian smiled. "I'm perfectly fine!"
After awakening the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, his originally handsome features had become even more striking.
Zhu Zhuqing was momentarily stunned, subconsciously wishing she could devour Qi Tian right then and there. But it was still daytime, so she forced herself to endure.
"Your martial soul… it seemed to undergo some kind of transformation just now?" She had been standing close and saw everything clearly.
Qi Tian nodded. "That's right. My Blue Silver Grass martial soul evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor."
"Your Hell Spirit martial soul may also have the chance to evolve in the future."
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes sparkled. "Really?"
She had witnessed firsthand the benefits of martial soul evolution. After Qi Tian's martial soul evolved, even his domain gained a new ability.
"Of course. But you still need to cultivate properly."
Qi Tian was already planning how to help Zhu Zhuqing absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring. It would bring her substantial benefits.
And if he could obtain that bead which helped Zhou Weiqing ascend to godhood, that would be perfect.
It had already been more than half a year since Zhu Zhuqing absorbed her last soul ring, and her cultivation had grown considerably.
Her soul power had risen from Rank 34 to Rank 36, and she was on the verge of breaking through Rank 37.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was a soul beast over fifty thousand years old. For Zhu Zhuqing to absorb its soul ring, she would at least need to reach the Soul Saint realm.
With such a long buffer period, Qi Tian had more than enough time to make preparations for hunting the soul beast.
As for Qi Tian himself, his soul power had risen from Rank 47 to Rank 50, allowing him to absorb another soul ring and advance to Soul King at any moment.
Filled with anticipation, Zhu Zhuqing returned to her cultivation.
Qi Tian walked to another secluded spot. A flash of five-colored light appeared as he retrieved the Blue Silver Emperor stored within his artifact's miniature world.
He activated his Blue Silver Domain and began infusing vitality into Ah Yin, awakening her.
Because Ah Yin had not sacrificed her soul ring, her foundational life force remained intact. Sensing Qi Tian's help, she actively began restoring herself.
Before long—before the plant-type soul beasts of the forest even contributed their power—she fully revived and took on human form.
The clothes she had been wearing earlier had been reduced to ash by that beam of light. After her revival, she was completely unclothed.
Upon awakening, Ah Yin quickly summoned Blue Silver Grass through her martial soul to form a blue dress, covering her delicate, snow-white figure.
But Qi Tian's eyes were sharp—he had already seen everything.
Although he had seen plenty while possessing Ah Yin's body, viewing her from this angle was still a first.
"Who are you?" Ah Yin frowned.
She clearly remembered that just moments ago, she and Qi Tian were surrounded by the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect.
The next moment, a five-colored radiance burst forth, followed by an intense temporal compression force, causing her to faint.
Upon waking, she discovered another Blue Silver Emperor martial soul user reviving her, restoring her life force.
'How long was I unconscious? Am I safe now? Where is Qi Tian's divine soul? Is he alright?'
Ah Yin's mind was filled with countless tangled thoughts, leaving her no time to worry about her earlier exposure.
"Ah Yin, it's me. I'm Qi Tian!" Qi Tian said with a smile.
"What? Are you Qi Tian? Didn't you die?" Ah Yin stared at the young man before her, unable to believe her eyes.
Qi Tian nodded. "I found a trace of residual divine power and managed to resurrect myself."
Ah Yin was still doubtful, so Qi Tian could only recount, one by one, the secret events that had occurred when he had possessed her body. After hearing everything, she finally believed him.
"Qi Tian, on this continent, the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul can only exist in one person. How do you have the same Blue Silver Emperor martial soul as me?"
She had clearly sensed earlier that the power Qi Tian used to help her rebuild her life force was indeed the Blue Silver Emperor.
Qi Tian sighed. "Ah Yin, you actually 'died' twelve years ago."
"To revive you as quickly as possible, I used divine power to forge a Blue Silver Emperor martial soul."
"Twelve years?"
Ah Yin didn't believe it. She felt as if no time had passed at all—everything seemed to have happened only moments ago.
And she herself possessed the ability to resurrect without assistance. It shouldn't have taken twelve years at all.
"If you don't believe me, you can check my bone age—or look at my martial soul log."
Qi Tian extended his hand, allowing Ah Yin to examine it. Then he took out his martial soul log and showed it to her.
His log only recorded up to the Soul Elder stage, but based on the dates and his current age, it was enough to prove the current year.
Once she understood the "truth," Ah Yin felt a rush of emotion. To think Qi Tian had gone through so much, just so she could escape her death calamity…
"All these years you've been revived… it must have been very hard for you."
"Alright, Ah Yin, let's not talk about that. You're safe now. A lot has happened in these twelve years—I'll tell you everything."
Ah Yin didn't press further. What mattered was that she was alive, and Qi Tian had returned.
Qi Tian began recounting the major events of the past twelve years relating to him—about the Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect, and everything in between.
"The Pope is dead? And Tang Hao and Tang Xiao survived?" Ah Yin couldn't help feeling a hint of pity.
With death, hatred faded. She no longer hated Qian Xunji as she once did. After all, if he hadn't appeared back then, she might never have had the chance to pit tigers against wolves.
"I know where Tang Hao is. Do you want revenge?" Qi Tian asked.
Ah Yin shook her head. "Forget it. Twelve years ago, Tang Hao was already on the verge of breaking through to the Titled Douluo realm. We're no match for him."
She kept staring at Qi Tian. In truth, compared to revenge, she was more eager to rekindle the "connection" they once shared in their past life.
Qi Tian didn't notice this at all and continued, "Don't worry—we don't need to take action ourselves."
In this world, Bibi Dong didn't share any sordid entanglements with Qian Xunji.
So Bibi Dong should hate Tang Hao even more than he did. Otherwise, she would never have stormed the Clear Sky Sect and forced them into seclusion.
In the end, Tang Hao took the blame and left the sect, and the matter was settled temporarily.
Qi Tian only needed to locate Tang Hao and send Bibi Dong there—then he could simply sit back and watch the show.
"We don't need to act?"
Qi Tian nodded lightly. "Yes. The current Pope, Bibi Dong, is Qian Xunji's disciple. We can let her avenge us."
"Bibi Dong? She's a woman, right? And… who is that woman?" Ah Yin pointed at Zhu Zhuqing.
Back then, Bibi Dong had made quite a name for herself across the continent. Ah Yin had naturally heard of her.
Qi Tian felt a bit awkward. He didn't understand why Ah Yin's focus was suddenly so… strange.
"Ah Yin, let me explain—"
Before he could even decide what excuse to use, Ah Yin interrupted, "No need to explain. I know you sacrificed a lot to save me."
She could only blame herself for losing twelve years… long enough for another woman to take advantage.
