Douluo: One Thought of God and Demon, Inheriting the Dual God Positions of Good and Evil

Qian Daoliu said sincerely,

The step from level ninety-seven to ninety-eight was incredibly difficult. Even he had spent decades back then.

Given Guang Ling Douluo's talent, he should have remained stuck at level ninety-seven.

Who would have thought that fortune would smile upon him? A single Immortal Herb had broken the deadlock.

Qian Renxin was not surprised in the slightest.

Among the Immortal Herbs he had given the Venerables, Guang Ling Douluo's was the oldest and highest-quality.

Still, he had not played favorites.

The herbs he gave were all the most suitable varieties; their age was secondary.

After all, the most important effect of an Immortal Herb was improving a soul master's aptitude and potential. The right remedy was what mattered most.

Moreover, as a Title Douluo, Guang Ling could absorb all the herb's medicinal power without leaving any residue in his body. Combined with decades of hard cultivation, breaking through to level ninety-seven was no great difficulty.

Right after that,

The other Venerables also came downstairs.

"Fifth Brother, it seems both of us have had good luck."

Qian Jun Venerable descended from below, carrying an extraordinary air about him.

Jiang Mo Venerable followed behind him.

He had not broken through to level ninety-six, but he had reached the Super Level of ninety-six.

"Oh?"

Guang Ling flew over before him, resting a finger beneath his chin as he examined him. "Don't tell me you broke through to level ninety-eight too?"

"How could that be? I mean I broke through from level ninety-six to ninety-seven..."

Qian Jun Venerable rubbed his forehead, amazed by Guang Ling's wild imagination.

Could such an opportunity as jumping from level ninety-six to ninety-eight even exist in this world?

Qing Luan Venerable and Xiong Shi Venerable also slowly came downstairs, filled with emotion.

"I never expected Guang Ling to be the first to break through to level ninety-eight..." Qing Luan said first.

"It's fine. The Immortal Herbs have loosened our bottlenecks as well. With a few years of hard cultivation, we should be able to break through too."

Xiong Shi Venerable was not discouraged. He laughed heartily as he spoke.

Though the effects of their two Immortal Herbs were not as astonishing as Guang Ling's, they had at least allowed them to see hope of breaking through to level ninety-eight.

"Old Fifth, you're really something. At your age, you might even have a chance of reaching level ninety-nine!"

Jin E Venerable also came downstairs, looking relaxed.

Among them, he had gained the least. After all, he was already a level ninety-eight Peerless Douluo; taking another step forward was unimaginably difficult.

Still, this Immortal Herb had at least saved him decades of hard cultivation, which was no small gain.

"Hehe, it's not that I'm impressive. It's all thanks to the Immortal Herb Xin'er gave me."

Guang Ling rubbed Qian Renxin's head and continued, "Xin'er has given us such a great gift. Is there anything you need your grandfathers to help with?"

The others nodded as well.

Qian Renxin had given each of them an Immortal Herb. Such generosity was simply astounding.

Although they were all from Spirit Hall, they still wanted to repay Qian Renxin for his help.

"Grandfathers, there really is something I need your help with."

Qian Renxin did not stand on ceremony and voiced his request. "In the future, I will need to make a trip to Star Dou Forest. There is a million-year soul beast inside that I need."

Star Dou Fierce Beasts, Affinity with the Good and Evil Origin

The moment those words were spoken,

The entire Worship Hall fell silent.

"H-How many years?"

Guang Ling's eyes widened, and his mouth fell open.

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were already considered extinct in the Soul Master World.

Million-year soul beasts... shouldn't those exist only in legends?

And wouldn't a million-year soul beast be able to become a god?

Jin E asked curiously, "Xin'er, are you sure there's a million-year soul beast in Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Of course there is."

Qian Renxin had long prepared an explanation and pointed toward the sky.

The other Venerables found it unbelievable, but they could not say much.

Since this information came from a god's guidance, it had to be beyond doubt.

"It's hard to say. When I traveled the continent in the past, I heard the High Priest of Sea God Island mention that there was a soul beast in the sea with cultivation close to a million years."

Qian Daoliu commented slowly, "In human forbidden lands such as Star Dou Forest and the Extreme North, soul masters have yet to uncover the truth. Perhaps million-year soul beasts truly do still exist."

Hearing the Grand Venerable say this,

The last traces of doubt in the other Venerables' hearts disappeared.

Jin E Venerable came before Qian Renxin. "Xin'er, what are the abilities of that million-year soul beast? Could it truly rival a god?"

"No. The million-year soul beast I need is extremely weak. Its combat strength is only comparable to that of an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

Qian Renxin shook his head.

Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was the weakest soul beast among those of the same level. Strictly speaking, even a Soft Bone Rabbit was much stronger than it, at least possessing the ability to fight in close-range bursts.

"Combat strength comparable to an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Then any one of us brothers should be able to handle it."

Jin E relaxed.

He had thought they were about to fight a soul beast truly on the level of a god.

That would have been terrifying...

"The real difficulty isn't that million-year soul beast, but the other fierce beasts guarding it."

Qian Renxin corrected his misunderstanding.

He explained how Star Dou Forest had turned Sky Dream Ice Silkworm into a living power bank for fierce beasts.

He also mentioned the cultivation ages of several fierce beasts he knew of, so they could be mentally prepared in advance.

In just a short while,

The Worship Hall fell silent for the second time.

This time, even Qian Daoliu said nothing.

After a long time,

Qian Daoliu finally spoke slowly.

"Star Dou Great Forest... truly is terrifying..."

As one of humanity's strongest soul masters,

He had always believed himself to be among the continent's greatest fighting forces.

Yet Star Dou Forest concealed even more terrifying fierce beasts with cultivation spanning hundreds of thousands of years.

He could not help but fall into deep thought.

A seven-hundred-thousand-year Dragon Fierce Beast...

Would he be a match for it?

Judging by cultivation age alone, with his strength as a Limit Douluo, he could contend with a soul beast of that age.

The key was its dragon bloodline.

That would greatly amplify the soul beast's strength. He feared... it would be difficult for him to handle.

The other Venerables also fell into thought.

Based on their own cultivation, if they truly fought fierce beasts of the same level, they would likely find victory difficult.

Soul beasts of the same level were generally stronger than soul masters of the same level. That was practically an ironclad rule.

"Grandfathers, there's no need to worry."

Seeing their concerns, Qian Renxin smiled and continued, "I have another trump card that can double your combat strength. I just can't accomplish it yet."

At present, Spirit Hall's overall strength could hardly surpass Star Dou Forest's fierce beasts.

But once he thoroughly researched Soul Cores, the situation would be completely different!

A level ninety-eight Peerless Douluo with a Soul Core would absolutely possess combat power comparable to that of a fierce beast several hundred thousand years old!

And as long as the Venerables' talents were properly nurtured,

Setting aside level ninety-nine Limit Douluos, they should all have hope of becoming level ninety-eight Peerless Douluos.

After all, they were geniuses gathered from across the entire continent over a century. Reaching Super Douluo without Immortal Herbs was enough to prove their talent.

The Venerables licked their lips.

Something that could double their combat strength?

If it had come from an ordinary Soul Elder, they certainly would not have believed it.

But Qian Renxin was a bearer of Divine Inheritance. Perhaps he truly had some wondrous method to help them grow stronger.

After all, the Immortal Herbs were proof enough.

Qian Daoliu asked in astonishment, "Xin'er, am I included as well?"

"Of course you are, Grandfather. Even for a Limit Douluo, my trump card can greatly increase your strength."

Qian Renxin replied with a smile, "It will just be much more difficult. I'm afraid it can only be used at the very end."

"No matter. Just proceed according to your plans."

Qian Daoliu was deeply shaken.

He had not expected that he had still underestimated his own grandson.

He had thought there was no path forward for him, only to find another village beyond the willow trees and blooming flowers.

At the same time, his confidence surged. He even found himself looking forward to the future battle against the fierce beasts.

He had always been a soul master who loved battle.

If becoming the Grand Venerable had not forced him to remain in Angel Sanctuary all day, he would certainly have continued traveling the continent.

"Mm."

Qian Renxin nodded.

There was still time before the war with the fierce beasts. He was merely preparing the Venerables mentally by telling them of their future enemies in advance.

In the days that followed,

He rarely left the Worship Hall. Every day, he moved between Angel Sanctuary and the Rakshasa Secret Realm, continuously tempering his Evil Good Origin.

It took nearly three months,

Before he finally cultivated the affinity of both Powers of Origin to thirty.

The Power of Origin at this level had already reached the limit of what his physical constitution could withstand. He could already feel a bottleneck in cultivating the Power of Origin.

"Unfortunately, my Soul Power Level hasn't progressed much. It only rose by one level, and that was with the remaining Soul Power..."

Feeling the Soul Power within his body, he sighed.

At his current pace,

He would likely only rise three or four levels in a year.
