Qian Yuan: You want me to be your ox or horse? Qian Yu: Wait until I become a god, and I'll bring you along! (Seeking follow-up reads!)

Qian Yu did not answer directly, but instead offered a mysterious smile before releasing his soul power without reservation.

A formidable and scorching wave of soul power instantly swept through the hall.

Qian Yuan's eyes widened abruptly as he felt this aura, his face filled with disbelief:

"Eighty-seventh rank?!

How is this possible!

When you returned from hunting soul rings with the Grand Pontiff, you were only at the eighty-sixth rank.

How much time has passed since then? How could you have broken through again?"

Qian Yu chuckled, flipped his wrist, and retrieved an exquisite jade box from his storage ring, handing it to Qian Yuan.

"I had some good luck while in Heaven Dou City and stumbled upon a fortuitous encounter."

Qian Yuan instinctively took the jade box, examining it with confusion:

"A fortuitous encounter?

What is inside this?"

Qian Yu explained softly:

"This is a celestial herb known as the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Consuming it circulates energy through the four limbs, clears the eight extraordinary meridians, and can forge a body of indestructible diamond."

Watching the shock on Qian Yuan's face, Qian Yu continued:

"Father, the medicinal power of this celestial herb is extremely potent and pure.

If you consume it at your current cultivation level, I estimate it will be enough for you to break through two levels consecutively, reaching the bottleneck of the ninetieth rank directly!"

Qian Yuan gasped, his hand holding the jade box trembling slightly.

"Break through two levels? Reach the ninetieth-rank bottleneck directly?!"

He abruptly pushed the jade box back toward Qian Yu, shaking his head repeatedly:

"No! A celestial herb that seizes the fortune of heaven and earth is far too precious!

You are currently at a stage where you need to improve your strength; wouldn't it be better for you to keep it and consume it yourself?"

Qian Yu did not take it, smiling as he pushed the box back:

"Father, please just accept it.

The reason I was able to break through to the eighty-seventh rank so quickly is that I have already consumed a celestial herb suitable for myself.

One can only consume one such herb; eating more is of no benefit.

Furthermore, the medicinal properties of this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum are the most compatible with your cultivation path."

Qian Yuan paused, looking at Qian Yu's earnest expression, and then carefully tucked the jade box away.

He took a deep breath, his eyes filled with gratification and pride:

"Good! Good lad!

Since that is the case, then I won't stand on ceremony with you!

The ninetieth rank... I never imagined that I, Qian Yuan, would one day be able to touch the threshold of a Titled Douluo so soon!"

Qian Yu's expression turned serious as he said in a low voice:

"Father, I came here this time not only to give you the celestial herb, but also because I need your help with something."

"Speak!"

Qian Yuan waved his hand, his spirit soaring.

"As long as I can do it, even if it means climbing a mountain of blades or descending into a sea of flames, I won't even frown!"

A sharp glint flashed in Qian Yu's eyes:

"I want to set sail."

"Set sail?"

Qian Yuan frowned, somewhat puzzled.

"Everything is fine here; why go out to sea?"

"To search for a new continent, and... the path to godhood!"

Qian Yu's tone was firm.

Qian Yu briefly explained to Qian Yuan his idea of attaining godhood through the power of faith.

Qian Yuan naturally agreed with both hands and feet.

"I have already requested permission from my teacher, and he has agreed.

However, the sea is fraught with danger, and I certainly cannot do it alone.

I need the assistance of the Angel Legion to help me prepare the fleet and supplies for the voyage."

Qian Yuan's expression turned grave; although he had never been to the sea, he was well aware of the perils lurking there.

"Since the Grand Pontiff has agreed, then I shall naturally support you with all my strength.

How many men do you need?

How shall we prepare?

Just give the order!"

Qian Yu smiled slightly:

"I will have Martial Soul Hall handle the supplies and ships.

As for manpower, quality is better than quantity.

I hope you, Father, will consume the immortal herb as soon as possible and break through to become a Title Douluo.

I only feel at ease using my own kin; once you obtain your ninth soul ring and truly become a Title Douluo, I will be able to rest easy when I send you to cross the ocean in the future."

Qian Yuan was stunned upon hearing this, then laughed and scolded with a huff:

"You brat, so you gave me this immortal herb just because you intend to make your old man cross the ocean and work as a laborer for you?"

Qian Yu merely smiled, his expression calm as he said:

"It is precisely because you are my father, my own kin, that I intend for you to handle such a matter concerning the very foundation of our future."

Qian Yuan opened his mouth, just about to speak, but Qian Yu waved his hand, lowering his voice to continue his explanation:

"Father, do not be hasty.

Do you know that once I truly take that step and attain a godhood, there are quotas that allow me to bring others to ascend to the God Realm with me!"

"What?!"

The words Qian Yuan was about to utter instantly stuck in his throat; he widened his eyes in shock and stood up abruptly from his chair.

Because he was so agitated, his voice even trembled:

"You... are you telling the truth?!

Bringing people to the God Realm?!"

Qian Yu nodded heavily, his tone incomparably firm:

"It is absolutely true.

As long as I can successfully gather faith and attain a godhood, I will have the qualification to bring my closest kin to ascend to the God Realm together and share eternal life.

You are my father, so this quota naturally includes you."

Qian Yuan took several deep breaths, his chest heaving violently, before he could barely suppress the surging waves of shock in his heart.

Qian Yuan gripped the jade box in his hand tightly, his eyes gleaming, and he couldn't help but burst into loud laughter:

"Hahahaha!

Good!

Good!

Isn't it just going out to sea to work as a laborer?

I'll take this job!

Never mind crossing the ocean; even if I have to turn the sea upside down, I will handle it beautifully for you!"

Qian Yu chuckled and reminded him:

"Therefore, Father, your top priority now is to go into seclusion immediately and absorb the medicinal power of this Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Only when you break through to level ninety, obtain your ninth soul ring, and truly step into the realm of a Title Douluo can our plan to set sail be guaranteed."

Qian Yuan nodded repeatedly, his expression becoming unprecedentedly serious and fanatical:

"Rest assured!

With the help of such an immortal herb, plus the prospect of the God Realm, if I still can't break through, I might as well just bash my head against a wall and die!

I am going to the secret chamber for seclusion now; I will not emerge until I have broken through to level ninety!"

Having said that, Qian Yuan turned to leave impatiently, but after taking only two steps, he stopped and turned back to ask:

"Right, where do you intend to go next?

Are you really going to head out to sea alone to scout the path first?"

Qian Yu shook his head:

"The dangers of the sea are unknown, and I do not fight unprepared battles.

Teacher is right; before setting sail, I must first complete the soul rings for my Seraphim martial soul.

I must first search for suitable soul beasts and hunt for my rings."

For Qian Yu.

There were three main targets for soul hunting.

The first was the Star Dou Great Forest.

During this period.

Inside the Star Dou Great Forest, besides the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.

There were also Xiao Wu and her mother.

If Xiao Wu's father had not yet died during this period.

Then that would be five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!

Then there was the Far North.

Excluding the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the number of other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts during this period should also be quite significant.

The third destination was the vast ocean.

Compared to the soul beasts on land, the number of sea soul beasts was countless.

They also possessed the highest number of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Qian Yuan felt relieved and nodded, saying:

"Good!

Then it is settled!

Be extremely careful when you go hunting for souls yourself; do not capsize in the gutter!"

"Rest assured, Father, I have my own sense of judgment."

Qian Yuan did not waste any more words; he took the immortal herb and strode toward the secret chamber.
