Qian Renxue's Second Soul Bone, the Sisters Return to Ice and Fire
Qian Renxue cut off the communication, then silently took out a left arm bone from her Soul Tool.
Qian Daoliu had secretly slipped it to her during his last visit.
After hearing Stingray Douluo's report about Shi Yueyi, Qian Daoliu learned that she had absorbed Soul Rings beyond her rank. He also learned that this was due to her exceptionally strong physique.
Tracing it back further, Shi Yueyi had said that while she was in the Frozen Forest, she had eaten a great deal of hundred-year and even thousand-year Soul Beast meat. When Old Qian, as a Peerless Douluo, had observed Little Shiyue in Heaven Dou City, he seemed to have noticed something unusual about her right arm. There should have been a Soul Bone there.
So now, Bibi Dong was no longer the only living example before him, and Old Qian's mindset had begun to change as well.
One exception could be dismissed as coincidence, but when a second appeared, it had to be taken seriously.
Moreover, Qian Daoliu doted on Qian Renxue deeply. With repeated examples now laid out before him, he was willing to give it a try. However, when Little Xue absorbed her seventh Soul Ring, he would definitely have to watch over it personally.
Qian Renxue took a deep breath, then returned to the secret chamber. She gently placed the left arm bone of the Angel Godly Garment against herself and began absorbing it.
The Soul Bones of the Angel Godly Garment had an extraordinary origin. They had not come from any Soul Beast, but were instead armor forged by the Angel God Ancestor in ancient times.
After the ancestor ascended to godhood, he transformed the armor into Soul Bones and left them behind as a medium for inheriting the Angel Godhood. Aside from this set of Divine Soul Bones, there was also a First Rank God's divine artifact—the Angel Holy Sword.
When Qian Renxue awakened her martial soul at the age of six, she not only possessed innate full Soul Power at rank twenty, but also displayed immense affinity with the Angel Holy Sword. That confirmed that she was the divinely chosen one the Angel Family had been waiting for.
As she absorbed the left arm bone, Qian Renxue revealed her original appearance. She suddenly remembered that she had never shown Little Shiyue her true face.
Time quickly reached the following evening. Shi Yueyi carried two plates and ran into the secret chamber of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace. "I'm back."
The response she received was the bubbling medicine furnace and Qian Renxue, who was wholly focused on controlling the heat.
"What dishes did you make today?" Qian Renxue stood up.
After absorbing a left arm Divine Soul Bone from the Angel Godly Garment, Qian Renxue seemed even more sacred. It showed through her bearing.
"From what Great-Grandfather left behind." Shi Yueyi said, "Today we have cold Holy Soul Grass salad, shredded Millennium Blood Dragon Ginseng, and stir-fried Soft Bone Rabbit as an appetizing side dish."
"Did Grandpa's ingredients include Soft Bone Rabbit?"
"I added that myself. I never told you before, but my last meal before I escaped the Frozen Forest was roasted rabbit meat."
Qian Renxue's expression turned strange.
She nodded, then took one of the plates.
"When I paid my respects to Xue Ye yesterday, I told him I would be going into seclusion for a week. It will soon be time to act. Do you want to meditate and recover first?"
Qian Renxue swallowed a bite of Shi Yueyi's cooking, savoring it endlessly. This little attendant seemed even better at satisfying her appetite than the cooks in her Eastern Palace.
At first, her tongue detected a faint salty bitterness, but the juices hidden within the meat then flooded her mouth. It was as though some special seasoning had been added, stimulating Qian Renxue's taste buds so intensely that she almost could not bear to swallow.
Ah, this little attendant was a little apothecary and an even better little cook. She truly felt as though she had struck it rich.
At the same time, Shi Yueyi could motivate her and make her take up the cultivation she had been somewhat lax about.
Qian Renxue's martial soul was the Six-Winged Angel. Ten thousand years later, it would at the very least count as a martial soul with an ultimate attribute.
Thus, her cultivation speed would slow somewhat between Soul Elder and Soul Sage, then increase after reaching Soul Sage.
On top of that, the plan to poison Xue Ye was underway. Therefore, over the past few years, she had placed more of her focus on matters within the imperial palace, leaving her cultivation level in a rather miserable state.
She was currently rank sixty-eight. She had originally estimated that it would take at least another four or five years to break through to Soul Sage while handling palace affairs at the same time.
Fortunately, Shi Yueyi had appeared. They discussed matters together and cultivated together. Once Little Shiyue's cultivation rose a little more, they would also spar in actual combat.
After eating, they tidied up slightly, then left Heaven Dou City directly through the secret passage in the chamber and headed for Sunset Forest.
The once tranquil Sunset Forest suddenly became somewhat tense that night.
"The Young Master and the others are here." Qing Luan Douluo rose solemnly and said to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
Present were two consecrated elders and the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo. Stingray and Snake Lance had not come, because they had accompanied Qian Renxue in hiding for many years, and it would not be appropriate for them to reveal themselves now.
Chrysanthemum Douluo wept bitterly. "My god, Old Ghost! Why didn't I just follow Dugu Bo for two more steps back then?!"
When it came to familiarity with these immortal herbs on the current continent, aside from Tang San, who possessed the memories of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record, it was probably this flower-loving Titled Douluo. Even the other Shrek Seven Devils likely only remembered what they themselves had consumed.
Although they had ascended to the God Realm, the God Realm Nursery was clearly not a place Second Rank Gods like them could enter.
Ghost Douluo's illusory face twitched. "Didn't you say the best time to grow flowers was ten years ago, and the next best time was now? It's not like..."
"Stop talking." Chrysanthemum Douluo was drenched in tears and snot. "I agree to your plan. Forget tricking a Clear Sky Douluo and a Poison Douluo—even tying up the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't compare to this place."
"Elder Chrysanthemum Douluo, I trust you've been well." Qian Renxue descended from the sky with Shi Yueyi, the wings behind her fluttering.
"Young Master!" Chrysanthemum Douluo practically wanted to kneel before Qian Renxue. "Why didn't you tell us about this place sooner after discovering it?!"
Qian Renxue's expression remained calm. "Elder Chrysanthemum, please rise. I wasn't the one who discovered this place. Little Shiyue was."
Chrysanthemum Douluo had just been about to stand when he heard that, and suddenly wanted to kneel back down.
"Don't, don't!" Shi Yueyi jumped in fright. "You really shouldn't..."
Originally, she had been somewhat curious about this fellow who spoke in such a shrill manner, wondering how he had raised a power-attack-type Titled Douluo.
Perhaps that was the beauty of contrast.
Chrysanthemum Douluo was hauled to his feet by the other Titled Douluo together.
"Enough chatter. Get ready to carry out the second phase of the mission," Qian Renxue ordered decisively.
Hearing this, the several Titled Douluo nodded one after another. Chrysanthemum Douluo then put on a grave expression and summoned his Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum Martial Soul, launching an attack on the Poison Array outside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Qing Luan Douluo and Radiant Feather Douluo respectively took Qian Renxue and Little Shiyue into hiding, while Ghost Douluo concealed himself for the moment as well.
The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum was a plant-type, assault-class Tool Martial Soul. Moreover, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had both reached Rank 95 by now, placing them among the more highly cultivated elders.
Before long, an azure-green figure came speeding over, accompanied by an angry roar. "Who dares trespass on this old man's territory?!"
Upon hearing that, Chrysanthemum Douluo's body trembled. He then swept the large flower in his right hand, sending countless petals of the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum flying out.
On the other side, Dugu Bo was startled when he saw his former enemy, assuming that the other party had discovered this treasured place of his.
Thus, he immediately transformed into a massive serpent and charged head-on into Chrysanthemum Douluo's attack.
The two sides exchanged blows back and forth. Suddenly, Qing Luan Douluo, hidden in the shadows, sensed a familiar aura.
Sure enough, Tang Hao had arrived!
Every god's godly garment had a different origin; that was part of the original setting. If godly garments could only be formed from soul bones, then the Angel God probably would not have stripped off his own soul bones.
Therefore, I think the Angel Godly Garment was more like the helmet Tang San forged for the Sea God Douluo in Soul Land 3—a set of godly armor created through forging.
In the end, the Angel God Ancestor used divine power to transform it into the form of soul bones for the sake of inheritance. The material used was likely Heavenly Fire Fine Iron.
Heavenly Fire Fine Iron was an extremely high-temperature rare metal born within volcanoes or stars (ridiculous as it was, that was indeed the original setting in Soul Land 5). In the Douluo Divine Realm, the divine artifact of the fire-element god was forged from this metal.
Furthermore, when Qian Renxue drew upon the power of True Sunfire in the original Soul Land 1, she mostly had to rely on the power of the godly garment. This might also have been due to the garment's materials.
The original name of the Angel Godhood should have been the Bright Angel God. Only when it reached Qian Renxue did it finally become the Sun Angel.
Because the Angel Godly Garment was no longer passed down, coupled with the effects of the shattered godhood in the original text, the Sacred Angel Martial Souls of later generations no longer possessed the True Sunfire attribute.
