Level Fifty, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!

"Tang Hao probably noticed something was wrong and chose to leave, but he'll definitely try to rescue Tang San."

"Next, we'll take Tang San and Yu Xiaogang back to the Martial Soul Temple and lock them up. Then we'll see what Tang Hao does."

Chu Xuan voiced his suspicions.

Bibi Dong and the others exchanged glances. It seemed to be the only way.

They couldn't just wait here.

The Spirit Hall Branch ultimately lacked the strength.

If Tang Hao brought help, the Spirit Hall Branch wouldn't be able to hold out.

The Martial Soul Temple was different. It was Spirit Hall's headquarters.

With so many experts in the Worship Hall and Elder Hall, Tang Hao wouldn't be able to stir up much trouble.

"Then are we going back to the temple now?"

"Yes, let's go back."

By his reckoning, Xiao Wu still had about a month before she graduated. He could come back for her afterward.

His system rewards were about to arrive, so this was a good time to return to the Martial Soul Temple and absorb them.

The newly triggered choice was to take Yu Xiaogang and Tang San back to Spirit City and lock them up.

Judging by the task's contents, it was clearly meant to deal with Tang Hao later.

Tang Hao would definitely try to rescue Tang San, but there was no telling what method he would use.

It should become clear when the system triggered another task.

Bibi Dong had her subordinates bring the two captives along, then flew straight back to Spirit City.

She had originally planned to transport them back in prison carts, but something Chu Xuan said made her change her mind.

The longer the night, the more dreams it brings!

If they took their time getting back, wouldn't that just give Tang Hao an opportunity?

Although their group was strong, if Tang Hao brought the Clear Sky Sect or another Soul Master faction to help, he might actually be able to rescue the captives.

So they had to transport them quickly and cut the journey as short as possible.

Hearing that, Bibi Dong decisively chose to fly back to Spirit City.

Chu Xuan had read so many novels that he already knew all the tropes.

Things often went wrong during prisoner transports.

The longer they took, the bigger the problems became.

He had no intention of giving Tang Hao an opportunity now!

It didn't take long to return to Spirit City.

As soon as they reached Spirit Hall, Tang San and Yu Xiaogang were locked up.

Yu Xiaogang had wailed all the way there, and he was already in despair.

He truly hadn't expected Bibi Dong to be so ruthless.

Once the events of those years came to light, their so-called feelings had vanished.

Bibi Dong probably wanted nothing more than to kill him now.

The only reason she was keeping him alive was to let him see what became of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

According to Bibi Dong, she would steadily nibble away at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan until the entire clan was destroyed.

Once she had wiped them out, it would be time for him, Yu Xiaogang, to die.

Tang San was just as terrified.

Why hadn't the father he had imagined appeared?

Spirit Hall had already released the news. Shouldn't his father have come to rescue him?

Old man, where the hell are you? Hurry up and save me, save me!

In the dark cell, Tang San lay on a straw mat, his fists clenched tight.

His legs had been crippled, and even if he had other means, there was no way he could escape this place.

The dark, foul-smelling cell was even filthier than his house in Holy Soul Village.

All he wanted now was for his father to rescue him.

But why hadn't the old man shown himself yet?

Didn't he know Tang San had been captured?

Or... did he not want to rescue him?

Whenever Tang San thought of these things, a fierce resentment welled up inside him.

Chu Xuan returned to the palace on the eastern side of the Worship Hall, and his rewards arrived.

"One level of Soul Power, Complete Explanation of Soul Tool, and a Hundred Thousand Year Myriad Phenomena External Soul Bone. Not bad at all."

One choice, three rewards.

His Soul Power had already risen to level forty-nine. With this one-level reward, he would go straight to level fifty.

Once his cultivation reached level fifty, the God of Evil's God-Given Soul Ring should descend too. Then he could trigger another choice task.

Sure enough, after he absorbed the one level of Soul Power from the choice reward, the light of the God-Given Soul Ring appeared.

[Ding! Choice task triggered. Please select one option!]

[Option one: Accept the God of Evil's God-Given Soul Ring. Reward: Soul Power Level +2!]

[Option two: Reject the God of Evil's God-Given Soul Ring. Rewards: Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, Soul Ring Storage Device!]

With two options to choose from, the decision was easy.

"Option two!"

He didn't hesitate. Two Soul Power levels naturally couldn't compare to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

This was his first Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, so he was a little excited.

Others couldn't obtain a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring at level fifty.

There was also the Soul Ring Storage Device.

The thing was somewhat similar to the Soul Tools of the Peerless Tang Sect era.

However, the Soul Tools of ten thousand years later had certain restrictions on storing Soul Rings.

The one the system gave him could hold any Soul Ring without restriction.

It could also purify the Soul Rings stored inside, producing the same effect as a sacrificed Soul Ring.

They could be absorbed without any side effects, and there was no need to worry about bursting from the strain.

Soul Rings could also be fused together to form a Soul Ring of a higher age.

Most importantly, he could assign any Soul Ring inside it to anyone.

It had another function as well: replacing a person's existing Soul Rings.

In other words, as long as he stored enough Soul Rings, he could mass-produce experts without limit.

"The system really delivers!"

Chu Xuan couldn't help praising it. Look at his system-how thoughtful it was!

The rewards it gave were never halfhearted, and they gave him a fright every time.

Now that he had obtained a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, he could absorb it directly.

There was also the Hundred Thousand Year Myriad Phenomena External Soul Bone!

As he absorbed the Soul Ring and Soul Bone, his Soul Power soared from level fifty to level fifty-five in just five minutes before finally stopping.

In the Worship Hall and Pope Hall, people looked toward the eastern palace in silence.

How long had it been? The God Child's cultivation had risen again.

And there was the light of the God-Given Soul Ring just now. It made them green with envy.

The gods were truly lavish!

Little did they know that, inside the God Realm Committee at that moment, the God of Evil wore an aggrieved expression.

"Rejected again?"

The Goddess of Life was astonished. How many people dreamed of a God-Given Soul Ring, yet Chu Xuan didn't want one?

Didn't he know it was the Soul Ring best suited to him?

The Godess of Kindness said with a smile, "He rejected it last time, and he's rejected it again. That boy Chu Xuan really is something."

The Asura God shook his head inwardly and said calmly, "All right, don't dwell on it. Let's think about the unbinding instead and discuss what we should do."

Last time, they had someone leave the Divine Realm, but that hadn't worked either.

As soon as they left the Divine Realm, punishment descended.

If the others hadn't reacted quickly that time, the two deities who left the Divine Realm might have died on the spot.

The thought alone was frightening.

At the mention of unbinding, the other four God Kings were stumped.

They had all been thinking about it during this time.

In fact, the same was true of the deities throughout the Divine Realm.

The gods had proposed many ideas, but all of them had been rejected.

Because none of them seemed reliable.

"Do you think... if we want to undo the binding, only Chu Xuan himself can do it?"

The God of Evil put forward an idea, and the Asura God's pupils contracted slightly.

"That makes sense!"

"Since the binding happened because of Chu Xuan, undoing it must have something to do with him too. He can undo it himself."

"But how do we get him to agree to undo it?"

The gods fell silent again.

It didn't seem easy to get Chu Xuan to undo the binding. They would probably have to pay a painful price.
