Sky-Covering Cloud Jade

"Is this a Soul Tool? It's clearly made of metal, yet it's been given life and can move freely."

Ye Guyi smiled as she explained, "This is only the tip of the iceberg. This device is called a Micro-Terrain Detection Beetle. It's specially designed to detect enemies hiding in tiny crevices."

"I'm only a Second-Class Soul Engineer, and I taught myself, too. Being able to make even one of these was already quite an achievement," Ye Guyi said modestly.

"Self-taught? You're already amazing." Qian Renxue reached out and held the metal beetle in her palm. Its cold limbs brushed against her skin, tickling her.

Ye Guyi continued, "When it comes to the greatest Soul Tools, we have to mention the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Mingde Hall is a sacred temple in the hearts of Soul Engineers, a place every one of them longs to go. There, you can learn the orthodox methods of Soul Tool creation."

"Like Soul Masters, Soul Engineers are ranked from Level 1 to Level 9, with Level 9 Soul Engineers at the top."

"The Grade 9 Soul Tools made by a Level 9 Soul Engineer are not only immensely powerful, but each Soul Engineer has their own style. Yet without exception, anyone who handles their creations carelessly—even a Titled Douluo—risks being killed."

"..."

For the rest of the time, Ye Guyi described everything she knew about the continent's political landscape, as well as the Sun Moon Empire's geography and culture.

Qian Daoliu, Qian Renxue, and Bibi Dong listened with great interest, gaining a preliminary understanding of the world ten thousand years in the future.

Before they knew it, the sun was setting, and everyone's stomachs had long been rumbling with hunger.

"Guyi, thanks for all your effort. I've already ordered a feast to be prepared. You've been explaining things all day, so go eat first. We'll join you soon." Qian Daoliu smiled warmly.

Ye Guyi didn't suspect a thing. After saying goodbye to everyone, she hurried out first.

Once Ye Guyi had left, Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and Bibi Dong immediately grew serious in the Council Hall.

"What Guyi knows about Soul Tools is only the surface. The most powerful of them are undoubtedly Grade 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shells."

Qin Chuan, who had been silent until then, suddenly spoke.

"Grade 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shells?" Bibi Dong murmured, then asked curiously, "How powerful are they?"

"You know the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, right? One shot could level the entire place."

"Where can we get one of those?"

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up. She had been worrying about how to deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Qin Chuan was tempted, too. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be closely allied with Tang San in the future. Ning Rongrong was one of the Shrek Seven Devils, to say nothing of the sect's business selling Hidden Weapons.

One Grade 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell should be enough to yield quite a lot of Snow Hatred Value.

Qin Chuan said, "Grade 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shells are the most powerful Soul Tools in the Sun Moon Empire. They're strictly controlled, and only Level 9 Soul Engineers can make them."

"I enslaved Yu Xiaogang and killed Dugu Bo. With the power I've gathered so far, I can practically travel between the two worlds at will. In a while, I'll return to our world with Guyi and join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy..."

Before he could finish, Bibi Dong felt a pang of sadness well up inside her.

"You've only just come here, and who knows when you'll be back? The world ten thousand years from now is fraught with danger. What good will it do for a Soul Grandmaster like you to go there?"

Bibi Dong looked as if she could barely keep the word "worried" from showing on her face.

Qin Chuan smiled slightly. "The Douluo Continent ten thousand years from now is under the jurisdiction of the Divine Realm. Asura God Tang San is constantly watching over this planet. If Mom and Sister appeared there without warning, they'd only make Tang San wary."

"Gods cannot interfere in the affairs of the Douluo Continent. That's an ironclad rule," Qian Daoliu added.

"In the Battle Between Two Gods, Asura God used the Food God and the Nine-Colored Goddess to resurrect Tang San and help him become the Asura God. Tang San has already made his plans for the Douluo Continent and is preparing to carry out his grand scheme for the next ten thousand years. You think he won't act?"

"Unless a dog can change its spots," Qin Chuan sneered without mercy.

"Are we really supposed to just watch you go alone and risk your life against a god?" Qian Renxue asked with a frown.

"With these, there's no need to worry."

Qin Chuan took out two pitch-black jade pendants. They shimmered with dark light, their surfaces carved with cloud patterns, their appearance simple and natural.

"These are called Sky-Covering Cloud Jade. They can prevent Deities from observing you. Wear one, and you'll avoid attracting attention from the Divine Realm. Even Tang San, despite being a God King, won't be able to detect you."

Each piece of Sky-Covering Cloud Jade had cost five thousand Snow Hatred Value. The two together had cost ten thousand.

Qin Chuan's heart was bleeding, but the expense was necessary if he wanted to complete his revenge.

Qian Renxue accepted a piece of Sky-Covering Cloud Jade and ran her fingers over its smooth surface, making up her mind.

"Mom, Grandpa, I'm going with my younger brother to the world ten thousand years from now. I want to learn advanced Soul Guidance Technology."

Qian Renxue's decision was exactly what Qin Chuan had expected. Otherwise, Qian Daoliu wouldn't have recalled her from her undercover mission in Heaven Dou City.

He had been worried that Tang San, after becoming a god, would discover them. Now that they had the Sky-Covering Cloud Jade, there was nothing left to hold them back. They could make their move without fear.

"What do you think?" Qian Daoliu asked Qin Chuan.

Qian Renxue turned her gaze toward him as well.

Qin Chuan nodded slightly. "There's no problem with going, but you'll have to keep your Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul hidden. It would be best to transform it into Ye Guyi's Holy Angel. I know your Angel Soul Bone skills can do that."

"That won't be a problem," Qian Renxue replied with a nod.

"There's one more important thing. The Sun Moon Empire is far more complicated than we imagine."

Qin Chuan walked over to the map and pointed to the Demon Forest. He said gravely, "The Demon Forest is home not only to the continent's second-strongest Soul Beast, the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, who has cultivated for seven hundred and ninety thousand years, but also to the continent's largest evil force, the Holy Spirit Cult."

"The Holy Spirit Cult? What kind of organization is that?" Bibi Dong asked.

Qin Chuan looked at Bibi Dong for a moment before replying, "The Holy Spirit Cult is led by two Level 99 Limit Douluo, and the number of Titled Douluo under their command is enough to rival Spirit Hall. Their Martial Souls all share one thing in common: they cultivate by drinking human blood, eating babies' brains, and consuming parts of human bodies."

A cold glint flashed in Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue's eyes. If an organization like that existed in their era, Qian Daoliu alone would be enough to crush it.

Bibi Dong shot Qin Chuan a reproachful look. Back then, hadn't she devoured Qian Xunji because he had forced her into it? By that logic, didn't that make her a member of the Holy Spirit Cult, too?

"Someone with a Holy Angel Martial Soul like Guyi can be called the greatest enemy of Evil Soul Masters. What's more, Sister's Martial Soul is a Six-Winged Angel. A Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, which produced a Deity ten thousand years ago, should not be exposed early. That would be a foolish choice for us."
