Falling Devil Returns to Spirit City, the Six Great Elders

The next day.

Spirit City, Pope Palace.

"Elder Falling Devil, why have you returned so quickly? What significant discovery did you make there?" Qian Xunji asked curiously from the papal throne.

"Your Holiness, please look." Falling Devil Douluo released his Martial Soul. Nine Spirit Rings circled beneath his feet as waves of Soul Power swept through the hall.

"Level 96!" Thousand Jun Douluo cried out.

His strength had originally been nearly equal to Falling Devil's. He had never expected Falling Devil to break through before him.

"Elder Falling Devil, you broke through?!" Qian Xunji shot up from his throne.

Falling Devil withdrew his Martial Soul and said, "In truth, my breakthrough was also related to that place. It is a peerless blessed land that has nurtured countless rare treasures and exotic herbs.

"Among them are things known as Immortal Herbs. They can directly increase Soul Power, improve one's cultivation talent, and have no side effects.

"I was only able to shatter my bottleneck and reach Level 96 after consuming an Ink Jade Divine Bamboo bestowed upon me by His Highness Su Mo."

"Immortal Herbs?" Qian Xunji frowned slightly.

Falling Devil Douluo took out Yue Guan's Soul Tool and removed more than a dozen exquisite jade boxes, arranging them neatly.

He presented one of them to Qian Xunji.

"Your Holiness, this Immortal Herb is called Bright Sacred Heart Grass. It is light-attributed, and His Highness Su Mo specially prepared it for you."

"For me?" Joy rose in Qian Xunji's heart. I didn't pamper that disciple for nothing.

He decisively opened the jade box. In an instant, a rich aura of light rushed toward him.

Inside lay an Immortal Herb, pure white and lustrous as jade. Its stem was slender yet gleamed with warm golden light, while a golden pistil the size of a pigeon's egg adorned its tip.

Qian Xunji could feel his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul craving the herb intensely.

But he forcibly suppressed the urge and closed the jade box again.

He knew himself well. His talent was the worst in the Qian Clan's history. Even if he consumed this Immortal Herb, he would not achieve much.

Rather than wasting it on himself, he might as well save it for the next generation. Perhaps if one of his descendants consumed it, they might have a chance of receiving the Angel Nine Trials.

"Introduce these Immortal Herbs one by one first," Qian Xunji said, suppressing his stray thoughts.

Falling Devil Douluo immediately began explaining them one at a time.

Aside from the few herbs mentioned in the original work, there were also four Immortal Herbs that had never been recorded. Though they were not top-tier Immortal Herbs, they were still exceedingly precious.

One was called the Yellow Springs Other Shore Flower. Its blood-red petals were long and slender like feathers, spreading outward in all directions. The tip of every petal was accented with white, while a dark green stalk supported the blood-red flower crown. The entire plant was shrouded in a dense aura of darkness and death.

Another was called Wind Shadow Phantom Spirit Grass, a wind-attributed Immortal Herb. It was slender and delicate, its leaves pale cyan and translucent, and the whole plant swayed without wind.

Another was called Cold Jade Ghost Orchid. It grew along the edge of cold springs and was an ice-attributed Immortal Herb. Resembling an orchid, its petals were white as jade with a faint icy-blue sheen, emitting a chilling mist.

There was also Burning Heaven Red Flame Ganoderma, which grew by the edge of hot springs and was a fire-attributed Immortal Herb. It resembled a flaming ganoderma.

Once Falling Devil finished his introduction, Qian Xunji and Thousand Jun Douluo both wore expressions of shock. Any one of these Immortal Herbs would be enough to stir up bloody turmoil across the Soul Master world.

"Oh, right, Brother, this is from His Highness Su Mo for you." Finally, Falling Devil took out the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo and explained its effects and how to consume it.

Thousand Jun Douluo looked eager, but he still instinctively turned to Qian Xunji.

Though Su Mo had said it was for him, they were currently before the Pope.

"Take it. Xiao Mo discovered that place, so he naturally has the right to decide how these Immortal Herbs are distributed," Qian Xunji said.

"Thank you, Your Holiness."

"No need to thank me. Just remember that Xiao Mo gave it to you."

"Of course." Thousand Jun Douluo nodded, his eyes full of gratitude.

"Refine it here. I also want to witness the wondrous effects of an Immortal Herb for myself."

Thousand Jun Douluo nodded, then sat cross-legged at the edge of the hall. Following the method Falling Devil had described, he began refining the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo.

Falling Devil said, "Your Holiness, His Highness Su Mo said that all the remaining Immortal Herbs are to be distributed by you.

"Furthermore, that treasured land contains not only Immortal Herbs, but also a great number of rare medicinal materials. The herbs planted there grow exceptionally fast, and their quality far surpasses those found outside.

"His Highness Su Mo instructed us to secretly establish a channel with Spirit Hall. After all, that place lies at the edge of Heaven Dou Imperial City, so we must proceed cautiously to avoid alerting anyone."

"I understand. I will make arrangements," Qian Xunji said with a nod.

Half an hour later.

Worship Hall.

Qian Xunji brought Thousand Jun and Falling Devil, both of whom had broken through to Level 96, into the grand hall.

When Qian Xunji explained the recent events to Qian Daoliu and the other elders, everyone was stunned.

Su Mo again!

Ever since he became the Pope's disciple, it was as though the goddess of fortune had descended upon them. Spirit Hall had enjoyed one stroke of good fortune after another.

"Since both of you have reached Level 96, you will henceforth be elders of the Worship Hall." Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back.

"Yes, Big Brother," Thousand Jun and Falling Devil answered in unison.

At this moment, six of the Seven Great Elders had assembled, with only Light Feather Douluo absent.

"Uncle Lion, this is a top-tier fire-attributed Immortal Herb."

Qian Xunji took out the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower from his Soul Tool, handed it to Mighty Lion Douluo, and explained its effects.

He had only just sent someone to retrieve this Soul Tool from the treasury. Though its storage space was not large, it could store living things.

Mighty Lion Douluo accepted it. "Sixth Brother, when you return to that place, thank Xiao Mo properly on my behalf."

"Alright, Fourth Brother!" Falling Devil replied.

Although Falling Devil had broken through before Thousand Jun, he had always been the younger brother. Moreover, their strengths were not far apart, so he ranked sixth.

"Uncle Azure Luan, this is Wind Shadow Phantom Spirit Grass, a wind-attributed Immortal Herb." Qian Xunji took out another herb and explained its effects and how to consume it.

Azure Luan Douluo accepted it and likewise looked toward Falling Devil. "Thank Xiao Mo for me as well."

"Alright, Third Brother."

Then Qian Xunji turned to Qian Daoliu. "Father, this is the light-attributed Immortal Herb Xiao Mo prepared for me, called Bright Sacred Heart Grass.

"But I know that my talent is limited, so I intend to leave it for the next generation. Perhaps we can cultivate a genius who may earn the favor of the Angel God."

Qian Daoliu took the jade box and opened it, revealing an incomparably dense aura of light.

If one of Ji'er's descendants consumed this Immortal Herb, they might truly have a chance of inheriting the Angel Godhood.

"It is good that you understand." Qian Daoliu returned the jade box to him, then changed the subject. "So when do you plan to start a family? You are not getting any younger."

"I will consider it as soon as possible."

As Qian Xunji conversed with the elders, Mighty Lion Douluo and Azure Luan Douluo refined their respective Immortal Herbs one after the other.

The two had already been at the peak of Level 96. With the aid of the Immortal Herbs' power, they naturally broke through to Level 97.

After Mighty Lion Douluo's Blazing Lion Martial Soul was purified by the flames of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, its fire became even more tyrannical, and its destructive power rose to another level.

Azure Luan Douluo's control over the wind element also became increasingly exquisite, greatly enhancing the might of his wind-attributed attacks.
