First Entering the Spirit Ascension Platform

After extensive discussions and compromises, Qian Ren Xue's training plan was finally settled.

Qian Ren Xue would first be taken by Le Jing Chen to the Holy Angel Family to complete her Martial Soul's Second Awakening and related training. After that, she would spend half a year studying with the Holy Angel Family and half a year studying at the Spirit Pagoda.

After Qian Ren Xue turned twelve, she would join Shrek Academy and remain there until graduating from the inner court. During that time, Shrek would give her an Immortal Herb.

After graduating from the inner court, she would decide for herself which faction she wished to join for further development.

As for the War God Hall, they wished him happiness.

After all, whether it was the commander of the Southern Legion or the Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda, both were positions of real authority with many subordinates. If the Hall Master of the War God Hall did not also serve as a legion commander, then his role was merely that of a fighter loyal to the Federation.

As one of the Federation's three great generals, Bei Gong Li could naturally see that Yu Hao Sheng lacked sincerity compared to Le Jing Chen. However, she agreed to share Qian Ren Xue's growth process and certain data. What the War God Hall needed to provide was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone.

None of the parties had any objections. What they truly valued was Qian Ren Xue, the only person in the world with a Divine Bloodline. They wanted to know exactly how she differed from everyone else.

They merely wanted to study Qian Ren Xue. Even Qian Gu Die Ting remained reserved about whether she could truly become a god.

After Qian Ren Xue was taken away, Qian Gu Huang Yu's life returned to normal. Every morning, she attended academic classes; every afternoon, she underwent combat training; every night, she cultivated. However, it was said that Bei Gong Li had taken in another new student, so she gave Qian Gu Huang Yu weekends off.

Two years later.

The moment Qian Gu Huang Yu stepped outside, she found Qian Gu Dong Feng waiting for her at the door.

"Let's go, Xiao Yu. Today is your first time entering the Spirit Ascension Platform. Don't keep Father waiting."

In truth, Qian Gu Huang Yu had no need to use the Spirit Ascension Platform to increase her Soul Spirit's Years of Cultivation. Thunderclap Nether Vine only needed to be struck by lightning to increase its Years of Cultivation. As for the lack of rainy days?

Bei Gong Li was a Limit Douluo who wielded lightning. Natural lightning was far inferior to hers.

Qian Gu Die Ting was sending Qian Gu Huang Yu to the Spirit Ascension Platform mainly to further hone her practical combat abilities.

As they walked, Qian Gu Dong Feng explained the knowledge related to the Spirit Ascension Platform to Qian Gu Huang Yu.

"Within the Spirit Pagoda, only major cities can possibly have a Spirit Ascension Platform. There are eighteen Spirit Ascension Platforms across the continent, and the Spirit Pagodas that possess them are known as the Federation's Eighteen Sky Towers."

"The Spirit Ascension Platform was created entirely by our Spirit Pagoda. It is a place for Soul Masters to train, improve their personal strength, and experience the charm of the ancient Soul Master world. I don't really understand how it works. I only heard that more than ten Titled Douluos participated in its original construction, along with a large number of top researchers. The Spirit Pagoda paid a considerable price before finally completing it."

"When the Spirit Ascension Platform was first built, its main purpose was to allow the Spirit Pagoda to further research Artificial Soul Spirits. We hoped to use it to raise the level of Artificial Soul Spirits, thereby gaining the ability to create more powerful Soul Spirits. But later, the experiment was only partially successful. Although the Spirit Ascension Platform could help raise a Soul Spirit's level, the effect was not particularly obvious and carried considerable uncertainty."

"We invested so much, so of course we couldn't let it go to waste. After a series of further developments, the Spirit Ascension Platform became a unique place. Simply put, it is the culmination of the efforts of the continent's finest Soul Tools, Soul Masters, and researchers. When Soul Masters enter the Spirit Ascension Platform, it is like entering another space. But they are protected by the platform itself, so the danger is limited. They can fight Soul Beasts inside and improve their practical combat experience. Some particularly lucky Soul Masters can even perfect their Soul Spirits within the Spirit Ascension Platform and achieve Spirit Ascension." As Qian Gu Dong Feng spoke, a trace of pride flashed through his eyes. "It was in the Spirit Ascension Platform that my first Soul Spirit evolved from a hundred-year form into a thousand-year form."

"Yes, yes, Big Brother is the best." Qian Gu Huang Yu recited emotionlessly.

Before long, Qian Gu Huang Yu and Qian Gu Dong Feng arrived at the Spirit Ascension Platform at the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

The room was entirely constructed of metal, but a ring of enormous Soul Screens hung from the walls. All kinds of images flickered across them, depicting a green world that looked like a jungle.

Qian Gu Die Ting had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw the two of them arrive, he turned to Qian Gu Huang Yu. "Dong Feng should have already told you about the Spirit Ascension Platform on the way here, so I won't repeat myself. There are no special requirements this time. The test is simply to see how long you can survive inside."

"This time, you won't be teleported in together. After entering, you must find each other, then survive in the Junior Spirit Ascension Platform for as long as possible."

Qian Gu Die Ting pressed a button, and two metal cabinets slowly slid out from the wall beside them. The cabinets lay horizontally, each containing a human-shaped recess. They looked somewhat like coffins.

"Lie down."

Qian Gu Dong Feng patted Qian Gu Huang Yu's shoulder reassuringly. "Don't be afraid. I'll protect you."

Qian Gu Huang Yu gave him a reassuring smile, and the two lay down together.

Instrumental suction pads emerged from all around them and swiftly attached themselves tightly to various parts of their bodies.

The two metal cabinets then slowly slid back into the wall. Darkness filled their vision.

Qian Gu Huang Yu felt waves of tingling spread through her limbs and bones, as though something were constantly passing through her body. The Soul Power and bloodline within her were stimulated and began to fluctuate on their own. The tingling sensation steadily intensified until her entire body seemed numb.

Of course, this had little effect on Qian Gu Huang Yu. Instead, it made her somewhat drowsy.

After an unknown amount of time, Qian Gu Huang Yu suddenly felt her body jolt violently. She instinctively awoke from her half-sleeping state and discovered that her surroundings had become completely bright.

The metal cabinet was gone, and the tingling sensation had completely vanished. However, there was now something like a metal device on the back of Qian Gu Huang Yu's hand, with a conspicuous red button on it.

A Distress Signal Device.

But the first thing Qian Gu Huang Yu saw was not the forest she had imagined, but three Soul Beasts living here!

Qian Gu Huang Yu lay on the ground, warily watching the three Soul Beasts that were also looking at her.

On the left was a white sheep, on the right was a white chicken, and in the middle was a pink kitten.
