On the way, Qian Xunfeng had Ju Gui hunt Spirit Rings. In the end, Qian Renxue absorbed a ten-thousand-year Spirit Ring and a thirty-thousand-year Spirit Ring, raising her cultivation to level thirty-eight.
Once she passed the Divine Examination in the future, all her Spirit Rings would be hundred-thousand-year ones.
Thirty-eight levels at seven years old—terrifying indeed.
As for Qian Xunfeng, after more than ten days of travel, he followed Ah Yin to the outskirts of the Blue Silver Forest.
The moment they entered the forest, the vines formed from Blue Silver Grass slowly parted. At the sight of the noble Blue Silver Emperor, every blade lowered its roots.
"My Emperor, you have finally returned. Your subjects have always awaited your return."
There he was—the Blue Silver Emperor's most loyal follower, the Blue Silver King.
Qian Xunfeng could not help but sigh. The Soul Beast Realm was bizarre. If nearly every ruler was female, there was a high chance they would trigger the Love Brain Buff, complete with loyal subordinates.
But those subordinates never ended well. Take Di Tian, for example—he could be called an enlightened ruler of the Soul Beast Realm. The Auspicious Beast he had raised for years in Douluo 2 was gone, and in Douluo 3, he was even backstabbed by the "lewd" Dragon King.
A loyal minister and great general of a generation, he met his end in Douluo 4. His wife was gone, and his miserable life came to an end as well. The Di Tian Brand Fighter was damn useful.
"Xiao Lan, you've worked hard all these years."
Ah Yin guiltily stroked the Blue Silver Grass on the ground.
"It is this subordinate's honor to share my Emperor's burdens."
"This time, I've come to take you away from here."
Sensing the confusion in the surrounding Blue Silver Grass, Ah Yin explained.
"During the years my husband and I spent traveling, we found a treasured place extremely suitable for plants to grow. There are also people guarding it, so it is very safe."
"We obey my Emperor's command."
The Blue Silver Forest began to emit specks of silver light. The Blue Silver Emperor that covered the entire forest instantly contracted.
In barely over ten minutes, the forest carpeted in Blue Silver Grass vanished. Before Ah Yin appeared a half-meter-tall ball.
Qian Xunfeng stored the ball formed from Blue Silver Grass inside his Storage Soul Tool.
Then he and Ah Yin hurried without pause toward Sunset Forest.
Within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Dugu Bo was playing with a boy and a girl, both young children, when he saw Qian Xunfeng flying over.
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."
The two children, around three years old, copied him and said to Qian Xunfeng, "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope."
"Quite clever."
Qian Xunfeng approached the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and released the Blue Silver Grass.
In an instant, Blue Silver Grass covered the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, radiating vigorous life force and nourishing the medicinal herbs around it.
"Elder Dugu, how are things going for you in the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Once he saw that matters were more or less settled, Qian Xunfeng asked Dugu Bo.
It was perfectly reasonable for a superior to inspect a subordinate's work.
"Xue Xing practically worships me like I'm his father. I've been living quite comfortably."
Whenever Dugu Bo recalled how Xue Xing came to see him bearing either Gold Soul Coins or medicinal herbs, treating him even better than his own father, he felt rather pleased.
"Mm. If he can be controlled, let him dream of becoming emperor."
After asking briefly, Qian Xunfeng did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he looked at the two children by Dugu Bo's feet and asked Dugu Qiubai, "Would you like to come to Spirit Hall to study with me?"
"I would."
Dugu Qiubai had been far more sensible than other children since he was young. Especially after learning the origin of his name, he had begun studying various books from an early age.
The Spirit Master knowledge he possessed now might even surpass Yu Xiaogang's.
"Good. Then come back to Spirit Hall with me today."
Qian Xunfeng had already arranged another role in the story of the future Shrek Seven Devils. You had the Shrek Seven Devils, so he would create the Spirit Hall Seven Luminaries Team.
"If Elder Dugu wishes to see Qiubai, you may also visit Spirit Hall."
"Mm, this old man understands."
With everything arranged, Qian Xunfeng did not linger any longer. Holding Ah Yin and bringing Dugu Qiubai with him, he returned to Spirit Hall.
As for the Divine Bone beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, after hesitating for a while, he decided to borrow some Life Gold from the Silver Dragon King and directly fuse it into a true divine artifact.
While traveling, Qian Xunfeng's expression suddenly turned strange. He discovered that the Extreme Flame Swift Wolf he had marked earlier was being hunted by Tang Hao.
"Fine, I'll give it to you."
A wicked smile curled across Qian Xunfeng's lips. Clearly, nothing good was about to happen.
At that moment, Tang Hao, who was chasing the Extreme Flame Swift Wolf, suddenly felt that the Wolf King before him had slowed considerably.
"Great Sumeru Hammer, die!"
With one hammer blow, the Wolf King's head was smashed apart, and a Soul Ring condensed above its corpse.
At the sight, Tang Hao was rather careless. He directly sat cross-legged, drew the Soul Ring over, and began absorbing it.
However, because of Qian Xunfeng's interference, the absorption went exceptionally smoothly this time. Tang Hao even wondered whether it was really a ninety-thousand-year Soul Ring.
But after using his Ninth Spirit Ability and finding its power remarkable, he relaxed and did not think much of it.
He then prepared to return to the Clear Sky Sect in high spirits.
Three days later, Tang Hao looked at the Clear Sky Sect draped in red silk and was somewhat baffled. Which elder was getting married? Why was the display so grand?
Before he could satisfy his curiosity, he heard the surrounding Clear Sky Sect Disciples muttering among themselves.
"Did you hear? They say the sect master's wife used to be an Evil Spirit Master."
"Shh, don't say that. Be careful or the sect master will beat you to death."
"What's wrong with saying it? I heard the sect master even went to Spirit Hall specifically for her."
Everyone chimed in one after another, gradually getting carried away, completely failing to notice the increasingly ugly expression on the face beside them.
"Brother, which family are you from? You sure look... distinctive."
The chatting disciples also noticed Tang Hao beside them, his skin dark and rough, looking much like a gorilla.
"Humph."
Tang Hao had no mood to show off before these juniors. Instead, he stormed furiously toward the main hall.
"Brother Hao, you're here too. Come, sit."
Tang Xiao was brimming with spirit at the moment. He could finally marry Yun'er openly and honorably.
"Big Brother, shouldn't you explain something?"
Seeing Tang Xiao still playing dumb, Tang Hao asked with an unpleasant expression.
"Explain? Explain what?"
Tang Xiao seemed to realize something only then. He slapped his forehead and said self-reproachfully, "Ah, you mean Yun'er. Your big brother and she are mutually in love, and today we're preparing to enter the bridal chamber. Shouldn't Brother Hao be happy for me?"
"Happy?"
Tang Hao stared coldly at Tang Xiao's smile, seeing nothing but mockery in it. His heart was filled only with disappointment toward Tang Xiao.
He had always been this kind of person. In the original story, he had dragged the entire Clear Sky Sect into the mire for his own selfish desires.
"Happy my ass!"
Years of pent-up emotions erupted. Tang Hao pointed at Tang Xiao's face and said like a madman, "Ever since we were children, Father said I was the true Heir of the family. Why? Why did it end up going to you?"
"Father also refused to support me being with Yun'er. Why? My talent was clearly better. Everything should have been mine."
"I used to respect you as my older brother, but now? You even stole your younger brother's woman. Tang Xiao, are you still worthy of being my brother?"
Tang Xiao was stunned by Tang Hao's sudden accusations.
Something was wrong here. Yun'er and he had always been mutually in love. How was that stealing his younger brother's woman? Wasn't Tang Hao just fantasizing?
At that thought, Tang Xiao could not help feeling anger as well. Yun'er was already his sister-in-law—how could Tang Hao still covet her?
"Brother Hao, Yun'er and I are mutually in love. Moreover, Yun'er has never liked you. It was only something you imagined."
As he spoke, he wanted Tang Hao to face reality. He took out a mirror and handed it to Tang Hao, telling him to take a look at himself.
"Bullshit!"
Tang Hao roared. Unable to outargue Tang Xiao, he turned and rushed out the door without another moment's pause. He had to find Yun'er and get an answer from her.
Because the novel was put on paid release today, I updated two chapters at once. From now on, two chapters will probably be updated at around 8 p.m.
