The Holy Spirit Cult's Two Saintesses
[Ranking the geniuses of Douluo Continent during the Peerless Tang Sect era?]
[A debate?]
[If this topic had come up in my previous life, blood would definitely have flowed like a river in the Comment Section.]
[No one in a debate zone ever concedes to anyone else, so even though I'm just writing a diary, I'll put on my armor first. These rankings are in no particular order. If you disagree, have the guts to comment in my diary!]
"Whew..."
Shen Yichen took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
He began writing...
[NO. 10 & NO. 9: Blue Silver Saintess Tang Ya & Fire Phoenix Saintess Ma Xiaotao!]
[That's right, in ninth and tenth place are the two great Saintesses of the Holy Spirit Cult, an Evil Soul Master faction!]
A critical hit right out of the gate!
The moment those words appeared, Zhang Lexuan's and Mu En's breathing quickened.
They weren't familiar with Tang Ya. But Ma Xiaotao was Yan Shaozhe's disciple, a promising seed of the Sea God Pavilion!
Shen Yichen could feel Sister Lexuan's arms unconsciously tightening around him, but he kept his eyes closed and continued writing.
[Blue Silver Saintess Tang Ya]
[After the Tang Sect's foundation was seized and the sect was wiped out by a no-name sect whose name I can't remember, she fled alone to Shrek Academy to seek refuge.]
[She joined Shrek Academy and fell in love with Bei Bei.]
[Bei Bei joined the Tang Sect, intending to revive it with her. But although Shrek clearly had the ability to wipe out that sect, it had too many concerns. And because her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was weak, her own strength grew slowly.]
[So, perhaps out of a desire for revenge, or perhaps out of a yearning for power, her Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul awakened a Devouring Ability and evolved into Dark Blue Silver Grass!]
[After becoming the Holy Spirit Cult's Blue Silver Saintess, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.]
[Huo Yuhao later restored her senses and found her a Blue Silver Emperor Soul Spirit. After she fused with it, her Martial Soul underwent a second awakening, becoming the Blue Silver Emperor, and she became a Titled Douluo!]
Far away in the Sun Moon Empire, Jing Hongchen's mouth twitched.
Damn!
The Tang Sect's waters ran deep too.
The Holy Spirit Cult's Blue Silver Saintess?
Should he order his subordinates to halt their plans against the Tang Sect?
No, that wasn't right. Not halt them, but give up on seizing it by force. It would be best to strike a deal...
Elsewhere, Zhang Lexuan and Mu En were both expressionless.
Tang Ya? She was just a stranger!
Even if she would fall in love with Bei Bei in the future, she was still an outsider now!
The problem was, even in a story pieced together in so few words, that little fellow Shen Yichen was still nowhere to be seen?
If Tang Ya was Bei Bei's beloved, that child Shen Yichen wouldn't just stand by and watch her fall, would he?
And in the end, it shouldn't have been that Huo Yuhao who saved her, either. It should have been Shen Yichen!
Could this Child of Luck really be that uncanny?
[Fire Phoenix Saintess Ma Xiaotao]
[She's rumored to be a descendant of Ma Hongjun and Bai Chenxiang, and possesses Innate Full Soul Power and an Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul!]
[Compared with Ma Hongjun, Ma Xiaotao is practically a white lotus.]
[She was young and exceptionally gifted. Even though Evil Fire plagued her and prevented her from cultivating at full strength, she was already a level sixty-seven or sixty-eight Soul Emperor before she turned twenty.]
[During the Continental Soul Master Tournament, the Sun Moon Empire used the Level 8 Soul Tool, the Sword of Judgment, to provoke her. Her Martial Soul fell completely, becoming a Dark Phoenix, and she became an Evil Soul Master.]
[Xuan Zi subdued her and brought her back to the Sea God Pavilion. But this brought an all-out attack from the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters. Sea God Pavilion Master Mu En was gravely wounded and at death's door; he passed away not long afterward.]
[Ma Xiaotao was abducted. After becoming the Fire Phoenix Saintess, she was no longer plagued by Evil Fire, and her Soul Power advanced by leaps and bounds.]
[Huo Yuhao later restored her senses and gave her Immortal Herb essence. Her Martial Soul evolved into a pure Fire Phoenix. She later cultivated to become a level ninety-seven Super Douluo and served as dean of Shrek Academy's Martial Soul Department and Sea God Pavilion Master.]
"Elder Mu..."
Beside the stream, Zhang Lexuan started to speak, then stopped.
Mu En chuckled kindly. "I thought I could hold things up for you little fellows for another twenty-odd years. I never expected this old man wouldn't be up to it anymore..."
"I still haven't appeared. Did I... die even earlier?" Shen Yichen suddenly asked.
Mu En's gaze sharpened in an instant. He could accept his own death, but he couldn't accept Shen Yichen's!
Given that child's relationship with Ma Xiaotao, could he have... died in the Evil Soul Masters' invasion too?
[Du Busi: What?!! Evil Soul Masters can break through Shrek?!!]
Du Busi wasn't the only one shocked. Jing Hongchen's teeth ached at the news.
The Sun Moon Empire's imperial family had a murky relationship with the Evil Soul Masters. Even if he didn't know the details, he could guess the general picture.
If the Evil Soul Masters could even fight their way into Shrek, weren't those fools in the imperial family afraid of raising a tiger that would bring disaster upon them?!
[Du Busi: I wouldn't even dare face the Sea God's Light head-on. Besides, that old bastard Mu En was still alive. How could mere Evil Soul Masters possibly take Shrek down?!]
[Soul Engineer: What if... the Evil Soul Masters have a Limit Douluo too?]
A chill ran through Du Busi's heart.
Fuck! Had the Evil Soul Masters secretly grown into such a behemoth?
But he still refused to give up!
[Du Busi: Even against a Limit Douluo, the Sea God's Light is no pushover!]
[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: But what if the Sea God's Light didn't respond?]
[Du Busi: The Sea God's Light didn't respond? You mean...]
If the Sea God's Light hadn't responded, wouldn't that be even more terrifying?
Wouldn't that mean Mu En's passing was part of the Sea God's script, and even a Limit Douluo could only play his role in the Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Plan?
When his time came, even if he didn't want to die, he had to!
Because only if he died could the Child of Luck grow and the Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Plan move forward...
[Du Busi: Fuck!!!]
Could this goddamn world ever get any better?
The gods in the heavens were far too high and mighty!
[Little Noble: That can't be possible, can it? Shrek Academy is...]
[Great Sage Equal to Heaven: Why wouldn't it be possible? He can always find an excuse afterward. At worst, he can say he was momentarily careless and didn't notice what was happening at Shrek in the lower realm. Who could say Tang San was in the wrong?]
A chill spread through their bodies.
Only now did they begin to get a sense of the reality of the Sea God's Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Plan.
Jing Hongchen had wanted to laugh at Shrek for nurturing two Saintesses for the Holy Spirit Cult, but now he was in no mood to laugh.
He thought of something.
Sea God Tang San had become a god and defeated the "evil" Spirit Hall.
Then what about Huo Yuhao becoming a god?
A hero had to defeat a villain of considerable stature to be remembered by history.
In the present age, the only faction that could be called a major villain was the Sun Moon Empire!
Jing Hongchen: Am I going to die too?
Shen Yichen paid no attention to how shocked the others in the group chat were. After idling in the chat, he continued writing.
[NO. 8: Holy Angel Ye Guyi]
[The Holy Angel Martial Soul. Those who know, know. She can level up just by killing Evil Soul Masters. In the era I'm living in now, this Martial Soul would be just an ordinary top-tier Martial Soul. But ten thousand years later, with Evil Soul Masters everywhere, this Martial Soul is like a mouse in a rice jar, free to eat its fill!]
[She ultimately broke through to become a Titled Douluo, with the title "Angel."]
The Angel Martial Soul was indeed astonishing, with the potential to end the chaotic age of Evil Soul Masters.
But... at this point, a single angel couldn't change this era.
Ten thousand years ago, even the Angel God couldn't stop Tang San. Ten thousand years later, could the Holy Angel do it?
Impossible!
