"Young Master, I succeeded!"
Lin Yurou awoke from the fusion, opened her eyes, looked at Lin Shu, and excitedly shared her joy with him.
Lin Shu smiled in response.
"Mm, try cultivating and see how it feels!"
Lin Yurou nodded and immediately began absorbing Soul Power to cultivate.
Before long, Lin Yurou exclaimed in astonishment:
"Young Master, my current Soul Power absorption speed is more than ten times faster than before!"
"I have a feeling that I can become a Titled Douluo within ten years!"
"Ten years... I cultivated for eight years before reaching level thirty-nine Soul Power. The effects brought by this Martial Soul are simply too powerful!"
"Young Master, I don't even know how I can repay you in this life!"
Lin Shu teased her:
"Since you said you'll become a Titled Douluo within ten years, then with the strength of your Martial Soul, once you reach that realm, there probably won't be many people on the continent who can defeat you. You'll have to protect me then!"
Lin Yurou nodded solemnly.
"Please rest assured, Young Master. I will never allow anyone to threaten you!"
"However..."
Lin Yurou's eyes darted toward Lin Shu. Then she stated with certainty:
"I believe Young Master will definitely break through to Titled Douluo before I do. Even if we were both Titled Douluos, I imagine I still wouldn't be your match!"
"It's a pity Father is no longer here. If he were still alive and saw what you've achieved today, he would have been so happy!"
For a time, the shuttle cabin fell into brief silence.
After a long while.
Lin Shu finally broke the silence.
"Don't worry. I won't let a single person involved in this matter get away!"
"Stone Gate has already been destroyed. Langya Hall and Juntian Sect are next!"
Lin Yurou gave a soft sound of agreement.
"I believe in you, Young Master!"
"Alright, let's go out!"
Lin Shu said:
"The Sky-Guarding Shuttle has been flying for quite a while!"
"Even if we haven't reached the Central Martial Region yet, we should be close!"
Very soon.
Lin Shu, Lin Yurou, and Shui Jieyu left the shuttle cabin.
The moment they emerged.
Su Qian's gaze immediately locked onto them. She observed them closely before finally settling her eyes on Lin Yurou.
"So this feeling of unease came from her!"
"How is that possible!"
"Not long ago, she was merely an ordinary martial artist with level thirty-nine Soul Power. Yet now, she actually makes me feel uneasy!"
"Wait!"
"Why does it look as though her Soul Power is gone?"
Countless questions swirled through Su Qian's mind, and she could not understand what had happened.
As Su Qian looked at Lin Yurou, Lin Yurou sensed it as well.
Lin Yurou could tell that Su Qian's Martial Soul was of no low grade.
However, upon recalling that the other party was a member of the Empire's royal family and claimed to be the younger sister of Su Yao, the current Empress of the Empire, Lin Yurou felt relieved.
Compared to Lin Yurou's calmness, Su Qian's thoughts were particularly active at this moment.
"The Guild Master carries a great secret!"
"Perhaps I should contact my sister and have her come speak with him!"
"If the Guild Master could join us, the chances of unifying the continent would surely increase greatly!"
Although the Empire had been established for some time, the scope of matters it needed to cover was simply too vast. It could be said that everything was still waiting to be rebuilt.
What it needed most was the addition of talented people and powerful experts.
Lin Shu might not be strong at present, but he already possessed the potential to become an overlord of a region. Or rather, with the forces currently around him, he could absolutely be considered one already.
Even among the continent's top powers, which had been passed down for a thousand years or more, few could compare with him.
However, Lin Shu seemed to have little interest in unifying the continent. Though he had expressed some views that were somewhat similar to her sister's.
Their goals were not the same. In fact, they could even be said to be completely opposed.
One sought to unify the continent.
The other merely sought to preserve himself.
"Forget it. I should focus on being a good Chief Auctioneer first!"
"At the Langya Auction House, my treasure appraisal skills are gradually improving as well!"
"Perhaps I'll soon become a ninth-grade Treasure Appraiser. When that time comes, I'll be of great use to the Empire in uncovering new resources and will be able to help my sister."
Su Qian did not dwell on it further.
The Empire's grand game, especially one involving the entire continent, was not something she could see through at present, much less influence.
If her sister was a player of the game, then Su Qian was not even qualified to be a chess piece yet.
Those who could be called chess pieces were without exception the leaders of top powers, or Super Douluos and Peerless Douluos.
Lin Shu paid no attention to Su Qian's gaze, though he had also noticed the shock in her eyes.
Lin Shu looked at Lin Ye and asked:
"Uncle Lin Ye, how much longer until we reach the Central Martial Region?"
Uncle Lin Ye replied:
"We should leave the Eastern Martial Region and reach the Central Martial Region in less than half a shichen!"
"However, I have never been to the Central Martial Region either. Young Master wishes to go to Langya Hall, but I do not know which way to go!"
At that moment.
Su Qian volunteered herself:
"Guild Master, I grew up in the Central Region and am extremely familiar with it!"
"Langya Hall is one of the continent's Lower Seven Sects, and I happen to know where it is located!"
"Would the Guild Master allow me to lead the way?"
Upon hearing Su Qian's words, Lin Shu nodded.
"Alright, you can lead the way!"
Half a shichen later.
The Sky-Guarding Shuttle passed above a great city linking the Eastern Martial Region and the Central Martial Region, finally entering the Central Martial Region.
The Central Martial Region was also called the Central Region.
Of course, some also called it the Douluo Domain.
This was the center of the continent, the most prosperous place on the continent.
Moreover, nearly over eighty percent of first-rate powers had taken root in the Central Martial Region and passed down their legacies there for generations.
The Central Region was divided into nine provinces.
Below the nine provinces were seventy-two prefectures.
Every prefecture possessed territory spanning at least ten thousand li in every direction.
Langya Prefecture was one of the prefectures under Qingzhou, one of the Central Region Nine Provinces.
"Guild Master, although Qingzhou is the most backward province in the Central Region, it has an ancient legend!"
"Legend says that Qingzhou was once a great province comparable to Shenzhou, and Divine Beings once lived here in ancient times!"
"There are even legends that those Divine Beings left behind inheritances. Yet for all these years, countless Titled Douluos have searched every inch of Qingzhou without finding a single clue!"
Lin Shu seemed to have caught onto something.
"A Divine Being's inheritance? Do you mean something like the ones in your Papal Hall and Spirit Hall?"
"Yes. The Angel Temple exists within the Papal Hall and Spirit Hall, something everyone on the continent knows. Those who possess an Angel Martial Soul may enter the temple to receive a baptism, and may even obtain the inheritance of the Angel God. So long as they pass the trial, they can become the Angel God!"
"It is said that Qingzhou also has such an Inheritance Divine Land!"
Su Qian recounted everything she knew.
Involuntarily.
A suspicion arose in Lin Shu's heart.
But he soon shook his head.
After all, if his suspicions were right and the Langya Auction House truly possessed clues to that Inheritance Divine Land.
It would likely have been destroyed long ago.
