Emperor Scepter

The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect

The sect's main hall

"Ning Tian, Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Innate Soul Power: rank nine."

A mature woman in red, with a full chest and a dot of vermilion between her brows, gently stroked the head of Ning Tian, who had just awakened her Martial Soul.

Ning Tian obediently thanked the elder.

The two children watching nearby whispered to each other.

"Wow! You were right! The young mistress really has one rank more Soul Power than me. As expected of the young mistress!"

The speaker was a red-haired little girl whose features bore a slight resemblance to the mature woman.

She excitedly shared her joy with the black-haired boy beside her.

"Of course. I'm next, and I'll definitely have Innate Full Soul Power!"

The boy was named Bai Mo, and he was a transmigrator.

One Wednesday afternoon, Bai Mo had been happily playing a game at home.

That day just happened to be the new version's release, and the featured character was Bai Mo's favorite pink-haired girl.

Bai Mo glanced at his 301 Star Rail Passes and decided to do one pull to test his luck. To his surprise, his luck exploded, and he got her in a single pull!

Bai Mo was so happy he felt like he was flying.

"Wait, why am I really flying? Hold on, hold on, I hit my head, ah!"

After a scream, Bai Mo opened his eyes again to find himself a baby, held in the arms of a gentle woman.

"You two, stop talking. Bai Mo, you're next!"

Wu Qingyao called out to Bai Mo, who had been lost in thought.

"Coming, coming!"

Bai Mo put on a calm expression and jogged over to Wu Qingyao.

Wu Qingyao saw that Bai Mo's little hands were clammy with nerves, yet he was still trying to act like a grown-up. She couldn't help but laugh.

"Good. Little Bai Mo, stand on this formation. Big Sister Wu will awaken your Martial Soul. Don't be nervous. I'm sure you'll awaken a powerful Martial Soul!"

Bai Mo was concentrating with all his might. How could he not be nervous? This was the crucial moment that would decide whether the Douluo Continent would bear the Bai name—or whether Bai Mo would bear the Wu name!

Wu Qingyao watched Bai Mo stand on the formation, then slowly released her Soul Power into it.

She was curious, too, about what kind of Martial Soul the child the sect master had picked up six years ago would have.

Bai Mo closed his eyes and felt waves of gentle Soul Power flow through his meridians. Then the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

He had felt something appear in each of his hands.

"Bai Mo, Innate Full Soul Power! And Twin Martial Souls!"

Wu Qingyao drew in a sharp breath. Of course she had heard the two little ones talking earlier, but she hadn't expected Bai Mo's words to come true. He really did have Innate Full Soul Power!

What was more, she felt the Soul Power being sent into Bai Mo's body split into two streams. She couldn't help marveling at the sect master's eye for people—scratch that, her eye for children.

"Bai Mo, come let Big Sister see your Martial Souls!"

At some point, the little girl Wu Feng had rushed over. She pried open Bai Mo's two clenched fists, revealing his Martial Souls.

"One glass marble? And a metal card?" Wu Qingyao was stunned. How were both of this boy's Martial Souls so unusual?

"Aunt Wu, they're called the Emperor Scepter and the Star Rail Pass."

Bai Mo's voice rose a full octave above its usual pitch.

"The Emperor Scepter and the Star Rail Pass? What do they do?" Wu Qingyao asked curiously. She hadn't even noticed that the little fellow had called her Aunt this time.

"I'll keep you in suspense. I'll explain them both once the sect master arrives." Bai Mo tried to keep the corners of his mouth from turning up, but he couldn't.

"That works. I'll go report to the sect master. You three little ones stay right here!" Wu Qingyao hurried out, brimming with excitement.

Only then did the long-overlooked Ning Tian step forward.

"Hahaha! I'm invincible! The age of Great Buddha Tang is over. From now on, this is Great Sage Bai's world! Bai Mo, keep the corners of your mouth pointed down! Reporting to the captain: this is too hard!"

Watching Bai Mo play around to his heart's content, Ning Tian couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth.

"Bai Mo, are your Martial Souls combat-type?" Ning Tian couldn't resist walking up to him and poking his arm.

"To be precise, they're both support-type." Bai Mo spoke mysteriously.

"Support-type, huh..." Ning Tian relaxed, though she seemed a little disappointed.

"Support-type is great! Bai Mo, I'll protect you and the young mistress from now on!"

Wu Feng had been left petrified with despair when she saw that Bai Mo really did have Twin Martial Souls, but those words instantly brought her back to life.

"Get out of here. Don't think I can't tell you just want to fight me!"

"Are both of Bai Mo's Martial Souls support-type?"

A cool yet gentle voice came from the entrance to the hall, interrupting the three children's horseplay.

"Mom!"

"Aunt Ning!" "Aunt Ning!"

The newcomer was Ning Fengya, the current sect master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. Wu Qingyao had come in behind her.

"Bai Mo, I heard you say at the entrance that both your Martial Souls are support-type?"

Ning Fengya ignored the three children's greetings and got straight to the point.

"Hehe, Aunt Ning, let me explain. My two Martial Souls are called the Emperor Scepter and the Star Rail Pass."

"This golden card is called the Star Rail Pass. Its ability is to summon powerful allies to help me fight. It has no combat ability of its own."

"This little glass marble is called the Emperor Scepter."

"But it doesn't look like a scepter at all!" the red-haired little girl blurted out.

"Quiet! Get over here!" Ning Fengya hadn't even spoken yet—how could a little one like her butt in? Wu Qingyao clamped a hand over Little Red Hair's mouth and dragged her to her side.

"It's all right. Wu Feng is always so lively, and her question is exactly what I wanted to ask."

Ning Fengya looked at the two adorable children with a gentle smile in her eyes. If only my Ning Tian were this lively, she thought.

But when she remembered the sect's current state, she sighed inwardly.

"It's a scepter that doesn't look like one, Aunt Ning. Let me explain it carefully. The Emperor Scepter is only an empty shell for now. I still need to add some conceptual things to it!"

Bai Mo chose his words carefully. He couldn't very well say the little glass marble's true form was hundreds of times larger than the Douluo Continent. Of course, the Bai Mo of today couldn't summon an Emperor Scepter that big, either.

"Mm. To put it simply, once the Emperor Scepter has grown to a certain level, the things I add to it may become real."

Even with the memories of his past life, Bai Mo didn't have much experience. It was indeed difficult for him to explain the Emperor Scepter's might clearly!

The Wu mother and daughter behind Ning Fengya were completely lost.

But as the sect master, Ning Fengya understood what Bai Mo meant. Her red lips parted in astonishment.

"So you mean that if you add the concept of the Aromatic Silk Beauty to the Emperor Scepter, then as you grow, you may be able to manifest a real one someday?"

Ning Fengya seized Bai Mo's arm, her hurried words striking him in the face.

At those words, Ning Tian, who had been silent, widened her eyes and stared at Bai Mo in shock.
