The Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record
"I don't know. Could it have something to do with the Star Luo Empire?"
"No, no, no. The mere Star Luo Empire isn't enough to make me flee for my life. It's a Titled Douluo—a Titled Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect who has a grudge against me."
Tang Feng didn't say what the grudge was.
He would let Zhu Zhuqing fill in the blanks herself.
Tang Feng handed Zhu Zhuqing the token that represented his status in Spirit Hall and said:
"Zhu Zhuqing, I still have things to do."
"This is my Spirit Hall identity token. With it, no one will stop you from going almost anywhere, as long as you don't go to the Pope's bedchamber."
"If you don't want to stay in the room and cultivate, you can go out and look around."
"I'll be staying here for a long time yet."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the token in her hand, but she didn't leave.
"I'll just cultivate here."
Tang Feng nodded and left Zhu Zhuqing to do as she wished.
In any case, he was about to get busy.
He took out the King Ball and released Little Scumbag.
Tang Feng fetched paper and a pen and had Little Scumbag write down from memory everything he knew about the Tang Sect.
He was also to write down everything Tang San had done and everyone he had met over the years.
No detail was too small.
For every page Tang San wrote, Tang Feng read it.
One day passed, then two. On the third day, Zhu Zhuqing could no longer sit still. With Tang Feng's permission, she headed to the Soul Fighting Arena in Spirit City.
"Take the token with you."
While Tang Feng committed the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record that Little Scumbag had copied to memory, Zhu Zhuqing's name gradually spread beyond the Soul Fighting Arena.
Fifteen days later, Tang Feng finally finished memorizing the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
He had committed it all to memory, including the Mysterious Heaven Skill, Mysterious Jade Hand, Purple Demon Eye, Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon, Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, Hidden Weapon Compendium, and all manner of other knowledge.
He had also finally learned why Little Scumbag's eyes had recovered. Not only that, he had learned about the bloodsucking Blue Silver Grass.
Interesting.
He hadn't expected the Blue Silver Grass he had casually planted back then to survive by drinking Tang Hao's blood.
Spirit City's Great Soul Arena.
Zhu Zhuqing walked down from the platform. Seeing the girl who had appeared out of nowhere defeat her opponent in an instant once again, the spectators in the arena all erupted in excited cheers.
As of now, Zhu Zhuqing had won twelve consecutive matches at Spirit City's Great Soul Arena.
It was terrifying.
A genius had suddenly appeared in Spirit City, and word of it soon reached Bibi Dong's ears.
Pope Hall.
Bibi Dong looked at the information on Zhu Zhuqing in her hands, her brows slightly furrowed.
Zhu Zhuqing is one of Tang Feng's people?
She was still so young, four years younger than Hu Liena, yet she already had Level 38 Soul Power.
What was more, she showed every sign of being invincible against opponents of the same level.
Where had Tang Feng dug up this genius?
It was a little frightening. She was even more formidable than the Spirit Hall Golden Generation.
Inside a luxurious viewing room at Spirit City's Great Soul Arena, the three members of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation looked at Zhu Zhuqing as she came down from the platform, then exchanged glances.
Yan asked:
"Did you see what happened?"
"No, she was too fast. She may only be Level 38 right now, but her speed is already no less than mine," Xie Yue said gravely.
"Little sister, what do you think?"
"She's a genius, even more talented than we are. If we could get her to join Spirit Hall, I'm sure Her Holiness the Pope would be very happy," Hu Liena said admiringly.
"Uh..."
Yan and Xie Yue both froze.
Did Nana not know Zhu Zhuqing was one of Tang Feng's people?
"Nana, don't you think she might already be one of us in Spirit Hall?"
"Huh?" Confused, Hu Liena looked at her brother Xie Yue and Yan.
"How come I don't know? When did she join Spirit Hall?"
"It's just a rumor, so I can't guarantee it's true, but apparently that man from the Worship Hall brought her back!" Yan said quietly.
That man—the one they couldn't speak of.
Without having to think, Hu Liena knew who the two meant.
The Worship Hall's Tang Feng!
One of the most mysterious people in Spirit Hall.
The Worships in the Worship Hall were all quite mysterious. She had only heard of the vast majority of them and had never met them.
Ever since Tang Feng left last time, Qian Renxue had been cultivating on the God Ascension Stairway and had not returned to her room in the Worship Hall.
Naturally, she didn't know Tang Feng had returned.
"Come in."
Outside the Great Enshrined Hall, Tang Feng had just reached the entrance when Qian Daoliu's voice came from within.
The hall doors opened on their own, and Tang Feng walked inside.
When no one else was present, Qian Daoliu always faced the statue of the Six-Winged Angel God. Only when someone arrived would he turn around.
Turning to look at Tang Feng, Qian Daoliu asked:
"You've been back for half a month without coming to see me, and now you finally remember me."
"Go on. What do you want?"
Tang Feng smiled awkwardly.
"Great Enshrined, I'm ready to absorb my Fourth Soul Ring."
"Oh?" Qian Daoliu was surprised.
"Has your body grown strong enough to absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?"
"No, but my target isn't a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. It's a Soul Beast around sixty thousand years old."
"Sixty thousand years..." Qian Daoliu nodded slightly. Sixty thousand years would do too. It was still older than his own Fifth Soul Ring.
After all, his eight black rings and one red ring were due to his position as the Angel God's priest. But what about Tang Feng?
He had nothing.
At least, Qian Daoliu had sensed none of the presence of a Godhood Inheritance on Tang Feng that he had sensed on Bibi Dong.
"Mm, sixty thousand years is good too. Bite off more than you can chew, and you won't be able to swallow it. Go straight to the Elder Hall and ask two elders to accompany you on your Soul Beast hunt."
With that, Qian Daoliu made to turn around and continue worshipping the statue of the Six-Winged Angel God.
Tang Feng didn't leave. Instead, he spoke again:
"Great Enshrined, I think the elders of the Elder Hall aren't quite up to the task."
"The Soul Beast I'm hunting this time is a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!"
"What?" Qian Daoliu stopped halfway through his turn.
"A Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? That thing isn't extinct yet?"
"No. From what I've gathered, there's a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Star Dou Great Forest right now that's at least around sixty thousand years old."
Tang Feng then explained to Qian Daoliu the attributes a sixty-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger might possess: evil, wind, lightning, time, and space.
He also described the abilities it had shown in the original story.
The most overpowered of them was naturally the Life and Death Arena, which could draw an enemy inside and force them into a one-on-one battle to the death.
A sixty-thousand-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's overall strength was already on par with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Qian Daoliu had thought Tang Feng had backed down in the face of difficulty, but he hadn't expected him to have found a better substitute.
And from what Tang Feng had said, this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was certainly not something those elders below Level 95 could stand against.
On top of that, they were helping Tang Feng hunt a Soul Beast, so they had to make absolutely sure nothing went wrong.
They needed enough strength to suppress the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger completely.
That meant only the Worships could do it.
And one certainly wouldn't be enough.
"In that case, I'll send Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, and Guang Ling to help you hunt the Soul Beast."
Although Sixth Worship Qian Jun and Seventh Worship Jiang Mo were only Level 96 Titled Douluo, they were twin brothers, and together they were no weaker than the Level 98 Second Worship, Golden Crocodile.
With Fifth Worship Guang Ling as well, they could subdue even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
No matter how heaven-defying the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was, it couldn't possibly survive.
"Go and summon them. I'll discuss it with them."
"Thank you, Great Enshrined!" Tang Feng was delighted. With those three, and knowing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's abilities in advance, they should be able to take it down without anything going wrong.
