Chapter 52: Dealing with Qian Renxue
Ning Bei heard the gnashing of Qian Renxue's teeth and shook his head.
"To be precise, it was Tang Hao. The Hao Tian Sect is not very involved with that matter."
Seeing that they could communicate now, Ning Bei signaled the Demon Eye Tree to release the little angel.
Once freed, Qian Renxue stretched her joints and looked at Ning Bei with confusion.
"Tang Hao? A Tang Hao isn't worthy of the entire Spirit Hall's attention, although his strength is indeed impressive."
"Also, how did you figure out my identity? I've been cautious ever since I came to the Heaven Dou Empire, never revealing any flaws. It seems your father also didn't know I was an imposter."
Ning Bei nodded and glanced at her slightly puzzled face.
"To be exact, I'm the only one who knows your identity. My father doesn't know, and Prince Xue Xing once suspected, but he couldn't confirm it."
"Then how did you know?"
Ning Bei smiled mysteriously at Qian Renxue without directly answering her question.
"You can ask your grandfather at home how long it has been since he received a divine message from the Angel God."
Qian Renxue frowned deeply after hearing this.
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is that the Angel God no longer exists, or rather, has fallen, and you are the reincarnation of the Angel God's soul."
"What?????"
Qian Renxue's small heart was greatly shaken. The Angel God had always been the faith of the Qian family, and now hearing that her faith had collapsed, how could she bear it?
"You're lying! You can't possibly know anything about the divine realm! Could it be that you are also…?"
Ning Bei snorted coldly, not explaining her guess.
"Hmph, that's why I said you're looking at the wrong enemy. You always focus only on the continent, but in the divine realm, this place is just a chessboard. It's their chessboard for choosing their successor."
"If you don't step out of the chessboard, all that awaits you is to be played with by the gods and a miserable fate."
Qian Renxue was stunned into silence by Ning Bei's words. All her years of planning seemed like a joke to him, which made her unwilling to accept it.
"How can I believe what you're saying?"
"Like I said, ask your grandfather how long it has been since he received a divine revelation from the Angel God. If you still don't believe, try going to the Holy Soul Village in the Fasno Province to hunt down Tang Hao and his son. I bet no matter how hard you try, you won't succeed, just like your father."
Qian Renxue still seemed unwilling to believe Ning Bei's words.
"Why?"
"Because the other party is the chosen successor of the God of Shura, one of the Divine Kings, while the Angel God was just a first-tier god. You were merely a stepping stone chosen by him."
The shock that this day brought to Qian Renxue was no less than anything she had ever experienced in her life.
Ning Bei, seeing that his heavy-handed approach had left the little angel silent, thought to himself that it was not good.
After all, telling a Soul Master at Soul Emperor level that her opponent was a Divine King of the divine realm was something she could hardly accept.
"Actually, there's no need to be so nervous. We just need to cooperate and take the fate of the planes away from him. At that point, the God of Shura will naturally give up on him. I've already been preparing for years. My only request is that you don't drag me down."
Upon hearing that Ning Bei had a way to deal with the Shura God's dark pawn, Qian Renxue was about to rejoice, but then she became even more furious with Ning Bei's words. What kind of nonsense was this?
I am the successor of the Angel God, with innate soul power of level 20, and I'm just supposed to be a hindrance in your eyes?
It seemed like Ning Bei understood her inner thoughts. Looking at the angrily puffing little angel, he directly released his martial soul. Two yellow, one purple, and three black soul rings appeared above the Pill Tower.
For a moment, Qian Renxue fell silent again.
Alright, I am useless!
"Tell me, what can I do?"
"What can you do? Build up your own power so that the Shura God's dark pawn can't gather the continent's fate no matter what."
"The Angel God gathered the faith of the entire continent to become a god."
Seeing the little angel's eyes gradually brighten, Ning Bei figured she had realized what she needed to do. As for whether she would go back to the Spirit Hall to verify Ning Bei's words with her grandfather, he wasn't worried. After all, he wasn't lying to her.
He put away the Pill Tower and threw her a storage ring.
Qian Renxue instinctively caught the ring, and after scanning it with her spiritual sense, she found countless jade bottles inside. She looked up at Ning Bei, puzzled.
"What's this?"
"Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, the thing you've been asking me for. Pour it into water and have children soak in it to enhance their innate soul power. However, it only works on children with innate soul power below level 5."
"The other bottles contain Awakening Pills, which can increase cultivation speed by 40%. Train well. At your current level, I can't even be bothered to look at you."
Saying this, Ning Bei looked at the little angel with disdain. She immediately turned red with embarrassment, glancing at Ning Bei's cultivation and soul ring setup. Not only was he on a different level from her, but she also started to feel ashamed of herself.
"Thanks, I'll catch up with you."
Seeing that Qian Renxue had developed a sense of shame and determination, Ning Bei nodded in satisfaction.
"Arrange how you use the medicine yourself. When you've used it up, come find me, and I'll refill it for you. By the way, when we meet in the future, let's refer to each other as brothers. For now, don't expose it."
Qian Renxue nodded in agreement with Ning Bei's plan. Next, she would go and verify whether Ning Bei's words were true.
Having solved the trouble with Qian Renxue, Ning Bei led her out of the Star Dou Forest.
"Do you have a way to find your two bodyguards?"
"Yeah, you don't need to worry about me."
"Alright, then take care. I'll head off first. See you in Heaven Dou City."
"Okay, see you in Heaven Dou."
Watching Ning Bei's figure disappear into the distance, Qian Renxue's eyes revealed a trace of complexity. It was the first time in her life that she had been outdone by someone of the same age.
Whether it was in strategy or cultivation, in every aspect, the boy in front of her, who was a few years younger, had overwhelmed her.
The journey home passed without incident. A few days later, Ning Bei arrived safely in Seven Treasure City, and as the guards respectfully greeted him, he walked into the sect.
He found Ning Fengzhi and the others and gave a detailed account of what had happened in the core area, of course, omitting the part about Qian Renxue.
Upon hearing that Ning Bei had obtained a combat soul beast, they were quite pleased.
A combat soul beast with low cultivation clearly didn't excite them, but the fact that Ning Bei had formed good relations with the beast kings of the Star Dou Forest core was great news.
"Bei'er, what types of pills can you produce this time? You were taken away so suddenly, and we didn't get a chance to understand it properly."
Ning Fengzhi's words reminded Ning Bei that he had not yet introduced the effects of the pills.
Ning Bei didn't waste time and directly said:
"Father, grandfathers, there are quite a few types of pills I can produce."
"Oh? Tell us about them."
"Since making them consumes a lot of soul power, I can't make all of them at once."
"There's the Fighting Spirit Pill to enhance Soul King-level soul power."
"There's also the Emperor's Pill to increase Soul Emperor-level soul power by one to two levels."
"The Sect-Breaking Pill that can help soul masters stuck between Soul Emperor and Soul Saint break through to the Soul Saint or Soul Douluo level."
"The Spirit Fusion Pill that merges body and soul."
"The Soul Cleansing Pill to remove foreign soul powers from the body."
"And finally, there's the well-known Hunyuan Bone Shaping Pill."
After hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and the others were shocked. Could it really be that a single pill could serve six purposes?
The Fighting Spirit Pill and Emperor's Pill alone were enough to excite them. They didn't expect that there was also a Sect-Breaking Pill, which was capable of helping Soul Saints break through—a huge hurdle that had stalled countless people's advancements. In their eyes, Ning Bei was like a god, especially when he could also help Soul Saints break through to Soul Douluo.
In Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there were dozens of Soul Emperor-level cultivators.
With the Sect-Breaking Pill, the sect could easily gain several Soul Saints. After all, Soul Saints were high-end combatants in any force. Many principals of advanced Soul Master academies were at this level.
"Great! Great! Bei'er, your pills truly haven't let us down."
"Fengzhi is right, this old bone of mine is getting more and more excited to see what miraculous things you'll produce in the future."
Chen Xin didn't speak, but his excitement couldn't be hidden from his eyes.
After absorbing the 40,000-year-old Nether Water Turtle's soul ring, Ning Bei's soul power level reached level 62. Once he reached level 69, consuming the Emperor's Pill would allow him to smoothly breakthrough to the quasi-Soul Saint level.
