Sky-Covering Cloud Jade

"So this is a soul tool? It's clearly metal, yet it's been given life, able to move freely."

Ye Guyi smiled and explained, "This is just the tip of the iceberg. This item is called a Micro-Terrain Detection Beetle, specifically used to detect enemies hiding in tiny crevices."

"I'm only a Grade 2 soul engineer right now, and I'm self-taught at that. Just being able to craft one of these is already quite an achievement." Ye Guyi said modestly.

"Self-taught? You're already remarkable." Qian Renxue reached out and cupped the metal beetle in her palm. Its cold limbs, upon touching her skin, gave off a ticklish sensation.

Ye Guyi continued, "When it comes to the pinnacle of soul tools, you have to mention the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy. Mingde Hall, as the sacred hall in the hearts of soul engineers, is a place every soul engineer yearns for. There, you can learn orthodox soul tool crafting."

"Soul engineers, like soul masters, are ranked from one to nine, with Grade 9 soul engineers being the highest."

"A Grade 9 soul tool crafted by a Grade 9 soul engineer is not only immensely powerful, but each soul engineer has their own style. Without exception, though, even a Titled Douluo risks falling if they mishandle such a soul tool."

"..."

Over the following time, Ye Guyi recounted everything she knew about the continent's layout and the geography and culture of the Sun Moon Empire.

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

Time flew by until the sun set, and everyone's stomachs were already growling with hunger.

"Guyi, you've worked hard. I've already ordered a feast prepared. You've been explaining all day, so go eat first. We'll follow shortly." Qian Daoliu said with a gentle smile.

Ye Guyi, suspecting nothing, bid everyone farewell and ran out ahead.

Once Ye Guyi had left, the expressions of Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, and Bibi Dong in the meeting hall immediately turned serious.

"What Guyi knows about soul tools is only the surface. If we're talking about the most powerful among them, without a doubt, it's the Grade 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell."

Qin Chuan, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Grade 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell?" Bibi Dong murmured, then asked curiously, "How powerful is it?"

"You know the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, right? One shot, and it's instantly leveled to the ground."

"Where can we get our hands on that?"

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

Qin Chuan was equally stirred. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was deeply tied to Tang San in the future. Not to mention that Ning Rongrong was one of the Shrek Seven Monsters, just the hidden weapons trade alone was enough.

One Grade 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell should be able to rack up quite a bit of Hatred Value.

Qin Chuan said, "The Grade 9 Fixed Soul Cannon Shell is the Sun Moon Empire's most powerful soul tool, strictly controlled, and only Grade 9 soul engineers can craft it."

"Enslaving Yu Xiaogang, killing Dugu Bo—with the power I currently control, I can almost freely shuttle between the two worlds. In a little 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 wave of loss wash over her.

"It's not easy for you to come here once. Who knows when you'll visit again? The world ten thousand years from now is fraught with danger. What use can a Soul Grand Master like you be going there?"

Bibi Dong might as well have had the word "worry" written on her face.

Qin Chuan smiled faintly. "Ten thousand years later, the Douluo Continent is under the jurisdiction of the Divine Realm. Asura God Tang San monitors this planet at all times. If Mother and Sister show up rashly, it will only arouse Tang San's suspicion."

"Gods cannot interfere with the Douluo Continent—that's an ironclad rule." Qian Daoliu added in explanation.

"Dual Gods versus Dual Gods. Asura God used the Food God and the Nine-Colored Heavenly Maiden to resurrect Tang San and help him become Asura God. Now, Tang San has already laid his plans across the Douluo Continent to carry out his ten-thousand-year scheme. Would he not act?"

"Unless a dog stops eating shit." Qin Chuan sneered coldly without mercy.

"So we're just supposed to watch you go alone into danger to face a god?" Qian Renxue asked with a frown.

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

Qin Chuan pulled out two pitch-black jade pendants. The jade glowed with a dark light, ancient and natural, their surfaces engraved with cloud patterns.

"This item is called Sky-Covering Cloud Jade. It can block divine observation. Wearing it will avoid attention from the Divine Realm. Even if Tang San is a God King, he absolutely won't detect it."

One Sky-Covering Cloud Jade cost five thousand Hatred Value; two cost ten thousand.

Qin Chuan's heart bled, but to complete his revenge, the early expenses were necessary.

Qian Renxue took the Sky-Covering Cloud Jade, her jade-like fingers stroking its smooth surface, and made a decision in her heart.

"Mother, Grandfather, I want to go to the world ten thousand years later with my little brother and learn advanced soul tool technology."

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

Earlier, he had worried about being discovered by the deified Tang San, but now with this Sky-Covering Cloud Jade, those concerns were gone, and he could make his move.

"What's your opinion?" Qian Daoliu asked Qin Chuan.

Qian Renxue also turned her gaze toward him.

Qin Chuan nodded slightly. "Going is fine, but the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul must be kept hidden. It's best to transform it into Ye Guyi's Holy Angel. I know that Sister's Angel Soul Bone skill can accomplish this."

"That's no problem." Qian Renxue nodded.

"And one more crucial point: the Sun Moon Empire is far from as simple as we imagine."

Qin Chuan walked over to the map, pointed at the Demon Forest, and spoke in a deep voice. "The Demon Forest not only houses the continent's second-ranked soul beast, the Evil Eye Tyrant Lord, with a cultivation of seven hundred and ninety thousand years, but also the continent's largest evil force, the Holy Spirit Cult."

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

Qin Chuan's gaze lingered on Bibi Dong for a moment before he said, "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 the Martial Soul Hall. Their martial souls share one common trait: they cultivate by sucking human blood, eating infant brains, and consuming human body parts."

Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with cold light upon hearing this. If such an organization existed in their current era, Qian Daoliu alone would be enough to crush everything.

Bibi Dong shot Qin Chuan a reproachful glance, thinking to herself, Back then, when I devoured Qian Xunji, it was because he had persecuted me. By that logic, am I also a member of the Holy Spirit Cult?

"A martial soul like Guyi's Holy Angel is the greatest enemy of evil soul masters. What's more, Sister's martial soul is the Six-Winged Angel—a martial soul that produced a god ten thousand years ago. Exposing it prematurely would be far from a wise choice for us."
