Qian Lingyi was very competitive and lived up to Zhu Ziyang's expectations. After absorbing her seventh spirit ring, her Spirit evolved into the ultimate form of the Angel Spirit, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul!
"Brother, my Spirit has advanced to the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul!" Qian Lingyi exclaimed excitedly, running to Zhu Ziyang.
On her shoulder was Blazing Apricot Charming Sparse in the form of a flower fairy. The little one was predominantly red, with a golden-red dress, wine-red long hair, and golden eyes. Like all Immortal Herb Soul Spirits Zhu Ziyang had seen, her appearance was exquisite, living up to her title of flower fairy.
"Hmm! Congratulations!" Zhu Ziyang said with a smile in his eyes, "Let's go, let's leave the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. I have another surprise for you!"
"A surprise? What kind of surprise?" Qian Lingyi asked, her face showing an expectant expression as she looked at Zhu Ziyang.
"No rush, let's go!" Zhu Ziyang smiled mysteriously, wrapped his arm around Qian Lingyi's slender waist, and with a thought, disappeared from the sight of the Immortal Herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Watching Zhu Ziyang, Qian Lingyi, and Blazing Apricot Charming Sparse disappear, the Immortal Herbs felt a mix of emotions: some were envious, some jealous, and some were completely unfazed. Among them, Qiluo Youxiang Immortal Plant was the primary representative.
After Zhu Ziyang left, Qiluo Youxiang Immortal Plant immediately awoke from her feigned sleep, her heart in turmoil and utterly flustered.
Outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Zhu Ziyang and Qian Lingyi appeared.
"Brother, can you tell me now?" Qian Lingyi asked impatiently. The girl was very clever and naturally understood that the surprise Zhu Ziyang mentioned was something that couldn't be known to outsiders, which only made her heart stir with even more curiosity.
"Hmm!" Zhu Ziyang nodded, no longer teasing Qian Lingyi. He directly took out the rhombic crystal-shaped Angel God's God Position, handed it to Qian Lingyi, and said, "Here, you hold it and then press it firmly against your glabella, that's all."
"What is this?" Qian Lingyi looked at the Angel God's God Position in Zhu Ziyang's hand with curiosity. She could feel the sacred and bright aura on this rhombic crystal, realizing that this crystal was certainly not an ordinary object, but the girl dared not think of it as a God Position.
"Haha! Just do as I say, and when you're done, you'll naturally understand what this is!" Zhu Ziyang chuckled, not answering Qian Lingyi's question, but speaking mysteriously.
"Alright!" Qian Lingyi no longer hesitated. She immediately followed Zhu Ziyang's instructions, took the Angel God's God Position, and pressed it firmly against her glabella. Afterward, a hint of confusion appeared in her eyes, followed by a pure white light enveloping her.
Seeing this, Zhu Ziyang smiled. The light of Divinity appeared, which meant that the Angel God's God Position had initially recognized Qian Lingyi. Now, he just had to wait for the light to disappear, ask the girl about the form of the God Position assessment, and then it would be done.
He couldn't help but lean back against a large tree, watching Qian Lingyi bathed in white light with a leisurely and indifferent expression, subtly anticipating.
The white light dissipated, revealing Qian Lingyi, who was radiating excitement. She opened her eyes, and a golden winged imprint appeared on her glabella—the mark of a God's favored one. Qian Lingyi immediately threw herself into Zhu Ziyang's arms, her voice trembling with excitement as she cried, "Brother, how can I ever repay you!"
"Haha!" Zhu Ziyang looked at the incredibly excited Qian Lingyi, smiled, and hugged her delicate body, saying, "Isn't that simple? Just give yourself to me!"
"Okay!" Qian Lingyi immediately agreed, "From now on, I, Qian Lingyi, belong to Zhu Ziyang. I am yours in life, and your ghost in death!"
"Alright, alright, I understand!" Zhu Ziyang hadn't expected the girl to seize the opportunity to say something akin to a confession. After a helpless smile, he said, "I accept your heart. Now, let's talk about the God assessment."
"Okay!" The girl left Zhu Ziyang's embrace, her pretty face slightly red, whether from shyness or excitement was unclear. She said, "Brother, the Angel God's God Position is the most important inheritance for our Qian family. Since the Angel God was defeated ten thousand years ago and the Angel God Position disappeared, our Qian family has no longer dared to claim to be followers of the Angel God. Even ancestral worship is not done openly."
"I understand." Zhu Ziyang heard the importance of the Angel God's God Position to the Qian family in Qian Lingyi's words. His expression was one of relief mixed with a hint of contemplation as he said, "Now that you have received the inheritance of the Angel God's God Position, it can be considered a revitalization of your Qian family's reputation."
"Mm-hmm! That's why I'm so excited!" The girl chuckled and said, "Brother, although I don't know how you found the Angel God's God Position, I'm truly so glad I met you."
"Tell me about your God Position assessment." Zhu Ziyang held the girl's soft hand, signaling her not to say more thanks, while also inquiring about the most important matter of the God assessment.
"Oh, oh!" Qian Lingyi responded and then began to narrate the matters of the God Position.
Qian Lingyi's God Position assessment was very simple. Because the Angel God's God Position had been damaged, its rank had fallen from a first-grade Divinity to a second-grade Divinity, and its former inheritance had also disappeared with the second-generation Angel God, Qian Renxue. Therefore, for Qian Lingyi to inherit the Angel God's God Position, she only needed to complete three tasks.
First, re-forge a set of Angel Spirit Bones, meaning she herself needed to complete all six Spirit Bones. This was actually within Zhu Ziyang's expectations, because from his own and Jiang Nannan's God assessments, it could be seen that to become a God, six Spirit Bones seemed to be an essential element. According to records, the Angel God's inheritance once had a complete set of 100,000-year Spirit Bones, but unfortunately, after that set of Spirit Bones was inherited by the second-generation Angel God, Qian Renxue, it completely disappeared.
Second, her own strength must reach 99th-rank Limit Douluo. Because there was no blessing from God assessment rewards, reaching 99th-rank spirit power entirely depended on her own talent and effort. For Qian Lingyi, this was challenging but not overly difficult. After all, as the possessor of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, her talent and potential were among the top tier on the Douluo Continent. As long as she didn't perish midway, becoming a Limit Douluo seemed like a foregone conclusion.
Third, retrieve or re-forge the Angel God's divine weapon, the Angelic Sword. This was the most difficult of the three tasks. Whether it was retrieving the former Angelic Sword or re-forging a new one, neither was a simple matter. Not to mention that as a divine weapon, finding the Angelic Sword without divine guidance was like searching for a needle in a haystack, and whether it even still existed was a mystery.
Therefore, the path left for Qian Lingyi seemed to be only to re-forge the holy sword.
"That's how it is!" Qian Lingyi finished speaking, her face full of smiles, but a trace of worry still lingered deep in her eyes.
"Don't worry, let's complete the first and second tasks first. As for the third task, re-forging the Angelic Sword, there's no rush," Zhu Ziyang said thoughtfully. "We have plenty of time in the future, with ample energy to solve the problem of the divine weapon."
"Mm-hmm!" Qian Lingyi's worries instantly vanished after hearing Zhu Ziyang's comfort, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
"Let's tackle the first task first, Yi Yi, how many Spirit Bones do you have now?" Zhu Ziyang asked.
"Two. One is the Blazing Apricot Charming Sparse left arm bone Jiao Jiao gave me, and the other is the Holy Light Hundred Spirits right arm bone I obtained when I absorbed my fourth spirit ring," Qian Lingyi said.
"Only two?" Zhu Ziyang was a little surprised, saying, "That's a bit few. When we return to the academy, I'll take you to the academy's Treasure Pavilion to have a look. There should be Spirit Bones suitable for you. In short, let's complete the Spirit Bones first."
"Okay!" Qian Lingyi heard this and did not refuse, saying, "Are we going back to the academy now?"
"What? Do you still have something to do?" Zhu Ziyang asked.
"Yes! I want to go home and see. It's been two or three years since I left home, and my grandmother must miss me," Qian Lingyi said with a hint of longing on her face, "And I also plan to tell her about receiving the Angel God's inheritance."
"Is that so." Zhu Ziyang heard this, his face thoughtful, and said, "Okay, I'll go back with you. However, regarding the God Position, if you only tell your grandmother, that's fine. As for others, don't tell them for now."
"Really? That's great!" Qian Lingyi's face immediately lit up with surprise when she heard Zhu Ziyang was going back with her, completely disregarding his latter words, and she cried out excitedly, "Then let's go!"
Qian Lingyi, filled with excitement, led Zhu Ziyang towards her home. The two spent a day traveling and arrived at the location of Qian Lingyi's home.
Northern Mountain Range.
