At this moment, several Title Douluos were gathered in the Sun and Moon Imperial Palace. However, under this oppressive force, everyone felt as if they were carrying a huge boulder, making it difficult to stand up, and they couldn't even muster the will to fight .
"What on earth is happening? Divine fire descends from the sky! Is Heaven displeased with my actions?!"
The Sun and Moon Emperor was also shaken by this sudden oppressive force, sitting there unable to move.
He even felt a sense of shame under this all-encompassing divine power, and even had an impulse to abdicate.
The True Fire of the Sun began to subside, and Pei Qing's figure slowly landed on the ground.
He wore a dark gold robe, and his golden eyes radiated a captivating light.
Pei Qing's appearance instantly attracted the attention of countless people. Even the Title Douluos felt a surge of wanting to worship him.
The Sun Moon Empire reveres the sun and moon, and its royal martial soul inheritance is the sun and the moon. Pei Qing, who descended under the true fire of the sun, was immediately regarded as a son of god.
If not a son of god, who could wield such intense and sacred power?
Even the most powerful titled Douluo and ninth-level soul masters probably couldn't do it.
"My god!"
Thump!
The Sun Moon Emperor actually knelt before Pei Qing, his face filled with awe, his heart and eyes fixed solely on Pei Qing.
The Sun Moon Emperor's martial soul was the sun, and he could feel the awe within his own martial soul towards Pei Qing.
There seemed to be a faint restlessness, an impulse to break away from its master and directly submit to this son of god.
"My god!"
Following the Sun Moon Emperor's kneeling, one after another, members of the Sun Moon royal family began to kneel before Pei Qing.
Those powerful figures subservient to the royal family, upon seeing their master, all knelt before the stranger, no longer daring to stand, and respectfully began to pay their respects.
"Huh?"
Pei Qing was dumbfounded by this scene.
He had only intended to demonstrate his strength to make negotiations easier, but why were they kneeling before him? This wasn't right!
Looking at the kneeling group before him, Pei Qing's eyes were filled with bewilderment, but this bewilderment quickly vanished.
He had a feeling that with a single thought, the lives of these members of the Sun and Moon royal family, those with the Sun and Moon martial soul bloodlines within them, would be under his control.
What terrifying control! No wonder these people knelt before him so respectfully.
"God, I cannot claim to be your god, nor am I your god. I am merely a traveler, and a collaborator seeking to cooperate with you!"
Pei Qing could indeed control the lives of these people through the power of the Great Sun, but he didn't need such methods to exert pressure for the time being. He only wanted some knowledge about soul tools.
He had no interest in the Sun Moon Empire; after all, in this era, the Sun Moon Empire held little appeal for him.
"No, our god?"
"No, you are definitely our god. Our Xu clan declared our lifelong service to the God of the Stars long ago."
"I can sense that you are the God of the Stars we have been searching for, the god we have always pledged allegiance to!"
The Sun Moon Emperor completely ignored Pei Qing's explanation; he now thoroughly regarded Pei Qing as his god!
Pei Qing looked at the stubborn Sun Moon Emperor, and the emperor couldn't help but feel speechless.

Is this some kind of desperate attempt to find a master, or does it mean they absolutely must become their god?
However, it's not entirely incomprehensible. The feeling of having one's life and death controlled by others—if one doesn't want to be easily crushed, the only option is to pledge allegiance and prove one's worth through actions.
"I want all your information on soul tools, as well as the materials for their creation,"
Pei Qing said expressionlessly. Being treated like a god? So be it. After all, he'll control everything in the future.
The Sun Moon Empire's Sun Martial Soul and Moon Martial Soul—in the end, they're somewhat related to him.
"My god, do you perhaps want to learn soul tool technology?!"
The Sun Moon Emperor looked at Pei Qing respectfully, his face filled with reverence, appearing almost like a loyal servant.
"Yes, I came here specifically to learn soul tool technology."
"This immortal herb is called the Primordial Chaos Immortal Herb. It can help a Title Douluo increase their soul power by two to four levels. Consider it a gift as payment."
"Arrange a room for me, and don't let anyone disturb me."
Pei Qing looked at the Sun Moon Emperor before him and spoke calmly.
But the mere mention of the Primordial Chaos Immortal Herb caused everyone present to change their expressions drastically. They stared in disbelief at the herb casually produced, their eyes filled with greed and disbelief.
"My God, please come this way!"
The Sun Moon Emperor respectfully led Pei Qing deeper into the palace.
After the Sun Moon Emperor and Pei Qing left, everyone present once again turned their incredulous gazes to the Primordial Chaos Immortal Herb.
The Sun Moon Emperor didn't take the herb with him when he left; instead, he left it there.
He knew very well that he probably couldn't keep this immortal herb himself, so it was better to let the Title Douluos fight over it. In the end, they would all owe him a favor.
Pei Qing quickly obtained a wealth of knowledge and materials related to soul tools within the palace arranged by the Sun Moon Emperor.
Soon, he was engrossed in continuous experimentation and resource consumption.
Just as Pei Qing had suspected, the Sun Moon Empire did indeed possess a Level 9 Soul Tool Master, though there was only one in the entire empire.
This Level 9 Soul Tool Master held a very high position within the empire, and even the Sun Moon Emperor treated him with great respect, implying that the method for creating Level 9 soul tools was difficult to obtain.
Pei Qing didn't care about this; he simply produced a Grade 9 Purple Ganoderma, and the Sun Moon Emperor, like a lapdog, began to fawn over him, presenting everything to Pei Qing the next day.
Time flew by, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
In that year, Pei Qing directly raised his Soul Tool Master level to Level 9.
It could be said that he had learned everything he needed to, and even had some new ideas in certain areas.
After completing his studies on soul tools, Pei Qing disappeared from the Sun Moon Empire. Several days had passed before he was discovered.
Nestled amidst towering mountains lies a unique lake with crystal-clear water. Most remarkably, its water is a blend of gold and silver.
This place has a special name:
Qiankun Wenqing Valley!
