The cultivation technique was not particularly difficult, and the girls were no fools. They quickly got the hang of it.

Bibi Dong was the exception, of course.

Until Bibi Dong had completely shaken off her lovestruck foolishness, Lu Jin felt he had to keep a trick up his sleeve where she was concerned.

After all, backstabbing the Pope was no joke.

Bibi Dong did not actually mind. Being called away for a private session was enough to make her happy.

While Lu Jin was instructing Ah Yin and Tang Yuehua, she secretly pulled out a small notebook and wrote:

"October 20, sunny."

"Today, I, the Holy Maiden, took a great big step forward. Senior is finally willing to instruct me alone! Can I still be far from getting on base and becoming the wife of the senior Spirit Hall depends on?"

"The secret chamber! I'll never be locked in the secret chamber in this lifetime!"

Once Ah Yin's cultivation was on track, Lu Jin had Tang Yuehua release her Martial Soul and began studying its defect.

Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul was called the Ruyi Ring, and it came with an innate domain skill, Noble Ring.

Everyone believed that this innate domain had restricted Tang Yuehua's ability to advance. After all, hers was the only Martial Soul in all of Douluo Continent that could not acquire Soul Rings by hunting Soul Beasts.

But after studying it, Lu Jin found that was not the case.

He looked at Bibi Dong. "Dong'er, release your Martial Soul and let me have a look."

Bibi Dong nodded blankly and released her Death Spider Emperor.

Lu Jin nodded after looking at it. "Just as I thought."

It suddenly struck him that he had found a treasure in Tang Yuehua. She had been born for Self-Created Godhood!

Through his observations, Lu Jin discovered that the fundamental reason both Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor and Ah Yin's Blue Silver Grass could advance normally was that corresponding gods existed on Douluo Continent.

At the top of the Blue Silver Grass was the God King, the Goddess of Life, which was why it could advance normally.

Above the Death Spider Emperor were the Rakshasa God and the God of Destruction, so that power could advance normally as well.

Tang Yuehua's Ruyi Ring was different. Its threads of fate were not connected to the Divine Realm. Just like Lu Jin, its power was not recorded on Douluo Continent.

That was why Tang Yuehua's Ruyi Ring could not advance normally. Even an Immortal Herb would not help it advance.

There were two solutions. The first was to follow the same path as the Sea God, relying on the power of faith to break through her limits and become a god directly.

The second was to temper her body and become a god by proving her Dao through the flesh.

Normally, only a level 99 Limit Douluo could take either of those paths, but Tang Yuehua could do it at level 9.

Seeing Lu Jin's expression change again and again, Tang Yuehua asked worriedly, "Master... is my problem impossible to..."

"What are you talking about?" Lu Jin laughed. If the occasion had been suitable, he would have kissed her.

She was simply heaven's gift to him, the perfect candidate to create a god.

"Your cultivation can't be the same as an ordinary Soul Master's. Just practice the 'Heaven and Earth Intertwining, Yin and Yang Great Compassion Rhapsody' I taught you earlier. I'll find a way to solve your advancement problem, and it won't take long."

The Great Compassion Rhapsody could not only cultivate Soul Power but was also an excellent method for tempering the body. For Tang Yuehua to cultivate it was to get twice the result with half the effort.

Lu Jin also understood why this world had chosen Tang Yuehua to receive the technique. It was a treasure practically tailor-made for her.

Once he had dealt with Tang Yuehua's problem, Lu Jin went to find Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong hastily put away her notebook, her gaze resolute. "Senior... is it finally my turn? Whatever position you want, Dong'er can accommodate you!"

What's wrong with you...? Lu Jin gave her a strange look.

External factors aside, Bibi Dong was actually an excellent candidate to nurture as well.

Her talent could be said to stand in a class of its own in Douluo I. If Tang San had not had the Asura God as a cheat, it was hard to imagine how Bibi Dong could have lost.

But the girl did not seem quite right in the head. Her antics lately had given even Lu Jin a headache.

"Sit cross-legged and meditate as you normally would."

"Oh, all right..."

Lu Jin's face twitched. What are you disappointed about?

As Bibi Dong began meditating, Lu Jin discovered that both her Martial Souls were actually active at the same time. This confirmed his guess.

Bibi Dong's two Spider Emperor Martial Souls had originally been one. It was only because her Innate Soul Power was too strong that her Martial Soul had split itself in two so her body could withstand it.

That was incredible. Bibi Dong truly deserved her place as the biggest villain in Douluo I. Peel back the layers, and it was beautiful stats all the way down.

Because her Martial Soul had been split for so long, reuniting the two would require not only a body strong enough to withstand the impact of her true Martial Soul, but also an Immortal Herb to help repair the split in her soul.

Lu Jin even suspected that the split between Bibi Dong's lovestruck side and her serious Pope side was caused by her Martial Soul splitting her soul.

"So I need to make a trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as soon as possible."

Lu Jin had already spoken to Dugu Bo, so sending people to occupy the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would not really count as seizing it by force.

"But judging by the time, Bo Saixi should have reached Sunset Forest by now, right?"

The outskirts of Sunset Forest.

A buzz-cut man entered Sunset Forest, covered in wounds.

Yu Xiaogang had obtained his third Soul Ring, paying for it with his life.

After leaving the main group from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he had also discovered that his body simply could not stay dead.

Whenever he died, it would not be long before his future self inherited his body, retaining all his memories.

Yu Xiaogang threw back his head and laughed. "Sure enough, I'm the protagonist! Had heaven not given birth to me, Yu Xiaogang, Douluo Continent would have been an eternal night!"

"I'm coming, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! Bibi Dong... Ah Yin... and Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu... in this life, I, Yu Xiaogang, am going to build a harem! Jie jie jie!"

Not far away, the silver-haired Bo Saixi frowned as she watched Yu Xiaogang.

"Is this the Yu Xiaogang Lord Ancient God mentioned? Why is he acting like a lunatic?"

"Never mind. Lord Ancient God said to let this fellow scout the way. There's deadly poison around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well... Lord Ancient God's favor is truly impossible to resist..."

Bo Saixi clasped her hands together, picturing Lu Jin in her mind. She only wanted to finish Lord Ancient God's task quickly, then hurry to Spirit Hall and offer him her loyalty.

Ahead of her, Yu Xiaogang had no idea he was being used as a test subject. He ran excitedly toward the location of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as he remembered it.

Bo Saixi followed close behind.

Yu Xiaogang charged recklessly through the forest, leaving even Bo Saixi wondering if he might be a Limit Douluo. For a mere level 30 to run around here like that took real guts.

Suddenly, a five-hundred-year-old boar-type Soul Beast charged out of Sunset Forest and ran Yu Xiaogang clean through.

Bo Saixi's face twitched. "This fellow... is he really human?"

After a while, something Bo Saixi had not expected happened.

Yu Xiaogang's body rapidly recovered. In less than an hour, his eyes suddenly flew open, and he gasped for breath.

"I can't die! I, Yu Xiaogang, really am the chosen one! I'm invincible!"

Yu Xiaogang roared with excitement.

The next moment, a sudden rustle came from the bushes beside him, and the memory of the Soul Beast's tusk piercing his body flooded his brain.

Yu Xiaogang, who had just finished roaring, instantly curled into a ball and clutched his head, his body trembling uncontrollably.

Clearly, although he could revive, revival did not erase the memories of the pain he had endured.

Bo Saixi watched from a distance. After thinking for a moment, understanding dawned on her. "So this is your plan, my lord? A weak mortal who can live forever-by tormenting him again and again, one can glimpse the true meaning of immortality!"

"Lord Ancient God, even if Bo Saixi spent another ten thousand years, she could never reach the heights of your wisdom. Please let me follow you forever."

After that, Yu Xiaogang died and revived, then revived and died all along the way, until Bo Saixi grew numb watching him.

At last, Yu Xiaogang stumbled and crawled his way to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He finally smiled. "I've made it! I, Yu Xiaogang, have made it! Immortal Herbs, here I come!"

Just then, a cold voice sounded beside his ear. "We've finally arrived. Your task is complete. Die... no, wait, it seems you can't die..."

Yu Xiaogang turned around in terror.

Yu Xiaogang wanted to roar.

Yu Xiaogang could fly.
