Chapter 85: Angel Codex — Arrival at Heaven Dou City
[Ding! The character with the highest relevance mentioned in the host's diary today has been detected: Qian Renxue.]
[Critical reward triggered!] (Trust level has reached 90%)
[Congratulations to Qian Renxue for obtaining: God-level cultivation method — Angel Codex, accompanied by the martial skill "Blazing Life."]
[Cultivation Method Description: Specially designed for the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul. It can refine the power of light and the power of flame within the body, assisting the cultivator in gradually advancing these two secondary attributes into "Ultimate Light" and "Ultimate Fire."]
As the reward was distributed, a vast and warm stream of information instantly poured into Qian Renxue's mind.
Without the need for deliberate comprehension, under the system's infusion, this cultivation method instantly reached the "Beginner" stage.
Qian Renxue felt the soul power within her body begin circulating along a strange and unfamiliar route.
Her originally restless and turbulent emotions were miraculously soothed by this warm current and gradually calmed down.
She extended her right hand. In the center of her palm, a cluster of golden flames rose into the air.
Unlike the domineering golden flames she had produced in the past, the core of this flame faintly revealed a heart-palpitating pure white glow.
"Is this the embryonic form of an ultimate attribute?"
Qian Renxue clenched her fist, feeling the surging power inside her.
"According to Lin Yuan's diary, although the Six-Winged Angel martial soul is powerful, its true origin attribute is 'Sacredness' — something inherently ultimate."
"As for light and fire, although they are strong, they are still far from true ultimate attributes."
"That's also one of the reasons why, in the future, I would be wounded by Tang San's drop of water containing the Sea God's power."
Lin Yuan: ... No, it's purely because you're a bit foolish...
"Ultimate Fire restrains all water."
"If I can cultivate the fire attribute to the ultimate level, then that so-called Guanyin Tear would evaporate completely before it even gets close!"
A sharp gleam flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes.
However, as the cultivation method continued operating, she discovered a problem.
Although this technique was heaven-defying, advancing it required consuming massive quantities of heavenly treasures with light and fire attributes as fuel.
Relying solely on meditation would probably take an eternity.
"Looks like I'll have to find a way to get Grandpa to help me gather some related resources."
"There should be some in the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury as well. I'll see if I can find a way to obtain some when the time comes."
When she thought of her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, the light in her eyes dimmed again.
Looking at her own palm, she let out a soft sigh.
"Unfortunately, compared to a cultivation method that increases my strength, what I actually want more is… a way to keep Grandpa from having to sacrifice himself."
"Even if I had to exchange this entire cultivation method for it, I would be willing."
Qian Renxue stood up, walked to the window, and pushed it open.
The night wind brushed against her disguised face.
After half a day of settling her emotions, she had already emerged from that state of "despair."
Crying and collapsing could not solve anything.
"Since Lin Yuan knows the future and all its secrets, then he must know how to change everything!"
"If I want better rewards and want to change Grandpa's sacrificial fate, the only way is to increase the number of times I'm mentioned in the diary!"
About half a month later, Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu finally arrived at Heaven Dou City.
Their soul power had each increased by one level, reaching Rank 27 and 19, respectively.
Lin Yuan had originally reached Rank 26 and was already close to the peak after absorbing his second soul ring, so breaking through was natural.
As for Xiao Wu, Lin Yuan's rapid improvement once again gave her a sense of urgency.
She was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Her first six soul rings all had to be condensed by herself.
And condensing soul rings herself would not increase her cultivation level. By the time she condensed her second soul ring, it would already be at the thousand-year level.
At that time, she would still only be Rank 20. How would she explain that to Lin Yuan?
Although she knew Lin Yuan had already discovered her identity, should she really reveal that she was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast so early?
Xiao Wu felt deeply conflicted.
She believed that, between her and Lin Yuan, everything could be shared except for the diary copy and the chat group, and she did not really want to keep secrets from him.
During the time she had spent with Lin Yuan, she gradually came to understand human emotions.
And she also understood the nature of her own feelings toward Lin Yuan.
After getting off the carriage, Lin Yuan said to Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, let's go report directly to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
On the way there, Xiao Wu noticed another academy and subconsciously spoke.
"Blue Tyrant Academy?"
Xiao Wu remembered that this should be the academy Liu Erlong was managing.
It seemed to be quite close to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Lin Yuan also glanced at it but said nothing.
Although Liu Erlong had a fiery temper, she had founded Blue Tyrant Academy to give commoner soul masters a place to study. Her original intention was good, even though its resources were slightly inferior compared to other advanced soul master academies.
Most advanced soul master academies were essentially noble academies.
Whether it was Blue Sunshine Academy or the Five Element Academies, they mostly recruited soul masters from noble families.
Of course, Sky Water Academy was somewhat of an exception. As long as the student was attractive and possessed a water-attribute martial soul, it didn't matter whether they were noble or commoner.
Half an hour later, at the foot of the mountain below the Heaven Dou Royal Academy:
Looking at the academy gates before them — backed by mountains and water, majestic in presence, with even the stairways paved in white jade — even Xiao Wu, who had seen much of the world alongside Lin Yuan, could not help but click her tongue.
Compared to the academies outside, this was on a completely different level.
Extravagant beyond belief.
"Wow… this is way too exaggerated, isn't it?"
However, before the two could approach the gate, several guards wearing silver armor crossed their spears and blocked their path.
"Stop!"
The leading guard looked Lin Yuan and Xiao Wu up and down.
Although the two were striking in appearance, they were not dressed in silk brocade, wore no noble insignia, and were not in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy uniforms.
A look of contempt instantly appeared in his eyes.
"This is the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"
"An important place of the Empire; unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter!"
"If you're here to visit, get lost immediately. This isn't a place for commoners like you!"
The condescending tone was extremely unpleasant.
Xiao Wu frowned and was about to speak up.
But Lin Yuan reached out to stop her. There was no anger on his face — he had long expected this.
"So this is the so-called Royal Academy?"
"As expected, they judge clothing instead of people."
Lin Yuan took out a token from his soul tool.
It was carved from fine mutton-fat white jade, smooth and lustrous. Most importantly, on the front was engraved a Seven-Kill Sword radiating sharp sword intent.
It was Sword Douluo Chen Xin's token — the highest-level guest elder token of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Before leaving Nuoding City, Chen Xin had given this token to him.
