"Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring!!"
Qian Daoliu was shocked at first, but when he saw Qian Xunji was still breathing, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt a surge of pride in his heart. With the 100,000-year eighth soul ring, plus the transformed 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor, his son would now have two 100,000-year soul rings after becoming a Titled Douluo!
With such a spirit ring configuration, it is not impossible to obtain the inheritance of the God Ancestor.
Inside the Pope's Palace, Qianxunji sat cross-legged, motionless. He seemed like a fossil from eternity. His entire body was drenched in blood, like a blood-red statue.
A full eighty days passed, and the bright red blood on his body turned purple-black, forming a hard scab on the surface of the panel. At the end of the hundredth day, cracks began to appear on the hard scab on Qianxunji's body, and the tearing sound came from this.
The broken parts became more and more, and gradually, the purple-black scabs began to fall off, revealing the skin underneath that shone with a faint golden brilliance. In the process of shedding, even Qianxunji's hair fell off along with it, and the hair that was condensed with the scabs also fell off.
"Hmm--" Qianxunji hummed softly, and stretched his arms powerfully to both sides of his body. Only then could be heard the sound of bones cracking from his body.
Qianxunji screamed, completely awake. A massive surge of soul power surged forth, and with a snap, time seemed to stop. All the remaining filth on his body instantly bounced off, revealing his nearly perfect figure. A blood-red light shot up from his body, imbued with an aura of divine light.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, seven soul rings quietly emerged and coiled around Qianxunji in order.
A scarlet spirit ring with a diameter of over a hundred meters slowly emerged from the periphery of the first seven spirit rings, circling Qianxunji's body and moving up and down.
It took eighty days to absorb the eighth soul ring of one hundred thousand years. Qian Xunji's soul power reached level 85, three of which were provided by absorbing this one hundred thousand year God-given soul ring.
The other two levels are to absorb the God-given soul rings. The God-given soul rings brought tearing pressure to his body. During the eighty days of meditation, his body completely absorbed the two immortal herbs, the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, and integrated them with his body to provide the soul power.
The God-given soul ring gave Qian Xunji a soul skill, which was called Holy Sword Judgment.
True damage, lock lock within a certain range, ignore defense, once hit, the power of purification spreads infinitely, and the soul power in the soul master's body will be completely purified. After the soul power is completely purified, Qianxunji can choose whether to transform the soul power of the sacred light attribute into the fire attribute according to his own wishes, burning the soul master to ashes.
This soul skill can be said to be a natural counter to fallen soul masters. Even though Qian Xunji is only at level 85 now, once it hits, even a fallen soul master at the level of level 99 Extreme Douluo will be slowly wiped out by this attack if he has no countermeasures. His body, mind, and soul will be purified, and Qian Xunji will have no control over it.
The God-given soul ring gives the martial soul the most suitable soul skills, which is indeed good. The six-winged angel is the natural enemy of the fallen soul master. The soul skills obtained can still be transformed for other soul masters, but if it is a fallen soul master, then of course there is zero tolerance.
Because Qian Xunji absorbed the God-given soul ring, Qian Daoliu, who was supposed to handle affairs in the Pope's Palace, moved to the conference room. When he felt the soul power fluctuations of Qian Xunji's successful absorption of the God-given soul ring, he immediately returned to the Pope's Palace.
Arriving at the Pope's Palace, Qian Daoliu scolded, "You little bastard, hurry up and put on your clothes! It's unbecoming to be in the Pope's Palace like this!"
Qian Xunji hurriedly put on his clothes and said, "Father, my soul power has reached level 85. I am confident that within four years, I will be able to break through to the level 90 Quasi-Title Douluo realm!"
"Then you should practice in seclusion. When you reach level 90, you will destroy that transformed soul beast, absorb her 100,000-year soul ring, and then take the Divine Ancestor's test."
Qian Daoliu originally wanted to abdicate and pass the position of Pope to Qian Xunji after Qian Xunji broke through to the Soul Douluo level. Now he has changed his mind and wants Qian Xunji to practice hard and break through to the Titled Douluo level.
Succession to the throne of the Pope, becoming the Pope of the Spirit Hall, is the supreme honor in the eyes of soul masters from the outside world. However, it is different for the six-winged angel Qian family who possesses the inheritance of the gods. This means that the direct descendant of the Qian family has no possibility of inheriting the throne of the ancestor god.
The predecessor of the Spirit Hall was the Angel Church, and the head of the church was also the Pope. Every Pope basically broke through level 90 and absorbed soul rings to become a Titled Douluo, and went to the Douluo Hall to pray under the statue of the God Ancestor to obtain the Angel Assessment.
He will inherit the position of Pope only after being confirmed to be unqualified to inherit the throne of the God Ancestor. The previous Pope will step down and go to the Temple of Worship to become the High Worshiper of the Angel God.
Why is it level ninety? Because the angel spirit will evolve every time it breaks through thirty levels, with an extra pair of wings on its back. When the cultivation level breaks through to level ninety, three pairs of wings will appear on the back, and the power of the six-winged angel spirit can be fully displayed.
Inheriting the throne of Pope in advance would require spending a lot of time handling affairs, which would shorten the soul master's training time and be equivalent to wasting talent.
Qian Daoliu had previously planned to let Qian Xunji Soul Douluo inherit the position of Pope because Qian Xunji's bloodline was impure and his talent was not good enough.
For a soul master to reproduce, the mother needs to expend a great deal of vitality. The higher the bloodline inherited by the offspring, the more vitality the mother needs to consume. Qian Xunji's mother died shortly after giving birth to Qian Xunji due to her lack of talent and low cultivation.
Qian Xunji's talent was therefore also affected, and the gap between his talent and Qian Daoliu's was quite large.
Qian Daoliu believed that if he had not inherited the throne of the angel god, then Qian Xunji had even less chance of inheriting it. It would be better for him to take over the position of Pope as soon as possible and let this centenarian old man retire.
Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised that Qian Xunji was so strong-willed that his eighth soul ring actually produced a hundred thousand year soul ring!
Without the reward of the Divine Ancestor's assessment, one can become a Titled Douluo with two hundred thousand year soul rings. This is a configuration and achievement that has never appeared in the Qian family for hundreds of generations, no matter how brilliant the genius is.
This made Qian Daoliu see the possibility that Qian Xunji might be able to inherit the legacy of the Divine Ancestor.
It goes without saying which is more significant: letting the Angel God return to the world or letting him retire.
Qian Xunji raised an eyebrow. According to the original novel, Qian Xunji had a daughter, Qian Renxue, when he was fifty. After Bibi Dong awakened her twin spirits, the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, she came to the Spirit Hall and was accepted as a disciple by Qian Xunji, who had already succeeded the Pope. Calculating this, it would have been just two years ago that Bibi Dong would have been six years old, her spirit awakening, and her arrival at the Spirit Hall.
If he went into seclusion, wouldn't it be Qian Daoliu who accepted Bibi Dong as his disciple?
It is easy for Qianxunji to cut off the possibility of Bibi Dong becoming an enemy. It is just a brainless and cool plot of a rich lady falling in love with a good-for-nothing poor boy. It is just the Douluo Dalu version of My Human Ghost Fire.
When the time comes, throw Bibi Dong out and make her eat plain porridge for a few days, and you will know the cruelty of reality.
