Wuhun City, Papal Palace.
Nestled amidst the majestic mountains, the Papal Palace stands in stark contrast to the Hall of Spirit.
Qian Xunji opened his eyes and exhaled a heavy breath. His soul power surged, and he finally broke through level 99, reaching his limit.
It has been 16 years since he became a titled Douluo.
The Martial Soul—Six-Winged Angel—appears.
Purple, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red—nine soul rings surrounded Qian Xunji in the center.
Chihiro is becoming familiar with this new power.
The 100,000-year soul ring came from the emperor of the Soft Bone Rabbit clan—Xiao Wu's father.
Sixteen years ago, Qian Xunji cultivated to level 90 and needed his ninth soul ring. He entered the Star Dou Great Forest with his elders and guardians, where he encountered Xiao Wu and her family. He used Xiao Wu and her mother's lives as leverage to force Xiao Wu's father to sacrifice himself for him.
This is the origin of his ninth spirit ring, and one of the many reasons why he was able to reach the limit in just 16 years.
He did not accept his own divine test.
Not a single piece of the angel's soul bone was used.
Aside from innate soul power, immortal herbs, soul rings, and soul bones, all the soul power in his body was obtained through his own gradual meditation and cultivation.
He wanted to become a god.
Instead of making a grand offering.
It's all about timing and fate.
But he refuses to accept his fate!
Calculating the time, it has been 36 years since he came to Douluo Continent.
At 36, it's the perfect age to strive and work hard.
In terms of bloodline talent, if no changes are made, Qian Renxue's talent is better than Qian Daoliu's, and Qian Daoliu's talent is better than his.
A baby is learning to speak.
March crawls around.
The baby can walk normally at six months old.
He learned to read and write at the age of one.
He could read ancient books by the age of three.
At the age of four, she used ancient books as an excuse, along with her coquettish charm, to persuade Qian Daoliu, who was then the Pope, to take possession of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.
Qian Daoliu dispatched worshippers, elders, and bishops to guard the area, construct fortifications, and research and cultivate the immortal herbs.
After a year of research, with the help of the Spirit Hall's existing records and the Yue family, the Spirit Hall identified all the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and their effects.
Ingesting small amounts of the herb at age five can strengthen the body's foundation, improve physical condition, and enhance innate talent and bloodline.
At the age of six, his martial soul awakened—the Six-Winged Angel. Qian Daoliu exclaimed, "The Ancestral God has protected thousands of families; my son has the potential to become a god!" He was excited for more than a month.
It's hard to argue whether his talent is weaker or stronger than Qian Renxue's, but he knows that his talent is definitely stronger than Qian Daoliu's.
This is the result of the change.
From the age of six onwards, he continued to use the herb until it no longer had any effect.
The Spirit Hall did not exploit the immortal herb to its fullest extent, but instead cultivated it, intending to benefit future generations and allow the Spirit Hall to produce more geniuses.
For 30 out of the 36 years, he spent either in ascetic practice or immersed in ancient books.
He had read all the books in the Spirit Hall; he was an extremely imaginative and creative person.
His soul skills no longer rely on soul rings to be used.
It is based on martial spirit, sourced from soul power, and guided by spirit.
He called this method "Self-Created Soul Skill Method", which can be further subdivided into ten-year soul skill level, hundred-year soul skill level, thousand-year soul skill level, ten-thousand-year soul skill level, and one hundred-thousand-year soul skill level.
The first ten-year Soul Skill level is the simplest; the difficulty of creating your own increases as you progress.
After 16 years of refinement, anyone with the aptitude can create their own soul skills using self-created soul techniques.
It doesn't matter if your comprehension isn't up to par.
Those with the same martial soul attribute can learn each other's self-created soul skills. For example, the Fire Lion martial soul and the Fire Mandarin Duck martial soul are two different martial souls, but they are both fire attribute. After one of them creates a soul skill, the other can learn and use it.
The latter is definitely simpler than the former.
After all, the former is about creating something from nothing.
The latter is simply copying what was done.
This method is a way to change the landscape of the continent, and since it is already quite perfect, Qian Xunji decided to popularize this method in stages throughout the Spirit Hall after he came out of seclusion, so as to improve the overall strength of the Spirit Hall.
He also plans to create his own method to accelerate meditation practice.
But that's a story for another time.
Chihiro left the place of seclusion.
...
Papal Palace.
"Your Holiness the Pope," Yue Guan exclaimed in surprise, not expecting that Qian Xunji would finish his seclusion today.
"Yue Guan, what is it?" Qian Xunji had instructed Yue Guan not to disturb him unless it was something important.
At this time, Yue Guan was very young and not yet a Title Douluo. However, his father's health was deteriorating day by day. In order for Yue Guan to be able to take on the responsibilities of an elder in the future, his father wanted him to adapt as early as possible.
Yue Guan excitedly said, "Your Holiness, a child in the orphanage has awakened twin martial souls and has innate full soul power. I have already reported this to the elders and venerable ones."
"The elders and the worshippers all say that the ancestral god has once again protected the Spirit Hall."
"After discussion, the elders and deities decided, and the chief deity made the final decision, to confer upon this child the title of saintess."
"Now everyone is waiting for you to step forward and announce to all Soul Masters that this child be named a Holy Maiden."
"The Grand Elder means that he hopes you will take this child as your last disciple. With this relationship, he can serve the Spirit Hall in the future."
In this era, there is only one person who possesses twin martial souls, has innate full soul power, and is female.
Qian Xunji had already guessed that it was Bibi Dong.
The moment Qian Xunji learned that it was Bibi Dong, a murderous intent surged within him, wanting to eliminate any future trouble.
Some people's badness is ingrained in their bones, and no matter how good you are to them or how you try to guide them, they can't change.
Besides, Bibi Dong is a hopeless romantic.
It's unbelievable that the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall would fall in love with a good-for-nothing. Even if Qian Xunji was negligent in disciplining her, Bibi Dong should have understood her responsibilities through constant exposure.
Love is not an excuse for recklessness, nor is it a declaration or threat to leave the Spirit Hall.
Qian Xunji didn't know if Bibi Dong was born to be this kind of person, but he didn't want to gamble.
He'll feel bad if he loses the bet.
More than a decade of hard work has gone to waste.
In the end, they became enemies.
pain!
It hurts so much!
Furthermore, he is on his way to becoming a god and doesn't want to have a burden by his side.
He didn't want to benefit other forces.
Therefore, the best approach is to nip it in the bud and prevent future problems.
The moment the thought of killing arose, he felt a familiar palpitation. His intuition told him that if he killed Bibi Dong, great terror would befall him.
The grass is dirty.
Qian Xunji cursed inwardly, "If I can't afford to offend you, can't I at least avoid you?"
I'll kill you when I become a god.
Qian Xunji dared not think about killing Bibi Dong again. Once you reach the Limit Douluo level, you won't experience palpitations or intuition for no reason.
He also wouldn't leave Bibi Dong in the Spirit Hall.
Sending this thing to the three upper sects might bring unexpected surprises, causing them to fight amongst themselves.
Qian Xunji made up her mind, her heart palpitations subsided, and she breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Yue Guan, let's go, let's go see her first."
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope," Yue Guan replied to Qian Xunji, feeling that the matter was settled.
After all, Bibi Dong possesses twin martial souls and innate full soul power. Who wouldn't want a disciple with unparalleled talent? Even His Holiness the Pope is no exception.
...
Wuhun City, orphanage.
Bibi Dong stood in front of the Awakening Array, her brows slightly furrowed; she knew this would happen.
To be honest, she didn't want to stay in the Spirit Hall, and she didn't want to become Qian Xunji's disciple.
Qian Xunji, this beast in human form, he's not even human.
Bibi Dong will never forgive Qian Xunji for what he did to her and the harm he caused her.
