Douluo: Founding the Heavenly Court from the Holy Spirit Cult

It was clear that the Asura God had been paving the way for Tang San long ago, with both her and her daughter serving as mere stepping stones.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's divine consciousness raised a hand in a beckoning gesture, and a soul bone detached itself from Hu Liena's frozen corpse. It was branded with stark white patterns, and a chilling aura of slaughter emanated from it.

"Little one, this soul bone contains the Slaughter God's Domain that my disciple obtained back in the day. Tang San must have left behind divine consciousness and divine power in this world. As long as you cultivate this Slaughter God's Domain to its peak and then obtain the Asura Divine Power, you will be able to evolve it into the Asura Domain."

Bibi Dong's words were filled with temptation; this was both an opportunity and a lure, intended to incite this little one to further target the contingencies left behind by Tang San and his ilk.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty."

Yang Hao accepted it without the slightest hesitation. He had long coveted the Slaughter God's Domain, though he hadn't expected Hu Liena's domain to have been transferred and branded onto a head soul bone.

It made sense, however; the Slaughter God's Domain was a mental-type domain, and head soul bones were meant to amplify mental power. The compatibility between the two was quite high.

Furthermore, Hu Liena's martial soul was a beast martial soul that excelled in mental power, so such a transfer was not strange, allowing the Slaughter God's Domain to be preserved through the soul bone.

Not to mention that Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, two actual gods, were standing right there.

"Show me your Bright Phoenix martial soul."

On the other side, Qian Renxue calmed her emotions and signaled for Ye Xishui to display her martial soul; she intended to bestow a God Trial upon her.

Ye Xishui hesitated for a moment, glanced at her disciple, and finally revealed her second martial soul.

She had never told anyone about this martial soul; this was its first time being displayed to the outside world.

But things were different now. With the opportunity to become a god laid out before her, she naturally had to fight for it with everything she had. As long as she could become a god, all other problems would cease to be problems.

"A Phoenix Martial Soul, very good!"

Qian Renxue was surprised and quite satisfied.

This Bright Phoenix martial soul possessed both light and fire attributes, while her own Angel Martial Soul possessed the three attributes of holy light and fire. The Angel Divine Power was the same, so the compatibility was quite high.

Moreover, the Phoenix Martial Soul was a divine beast martial soul. Possessing the bloodline of a divine beast, it could carry extreme attributes, making it easier to cultivate to the peak or even break through to the hundredth level.

Sacred golden divine power was projected onto Ye Xishui, and after a scan, seven light curtains manifested.

Chapter 32: Luring Them Aboard

"It is a pity it is not an Angel Martial Soul, otherwise, it would have been highly likely to trigger the Angel Eight Trials."

Qian Renxue sighed with regret. The Angel God Position was too specific; only an Angel Martial Soul could perfectly match it, and not just any Angel Martial Soul—it had to awaken extreme attributes.

She herself had only been able to trigger the Angel Nine Trials because she had awakened the extreme holy attribute.

At the same time, the existence of that extreme holy attribute had caused her cultivation to be slow before she reached the Soul Saint realm. Even with an Innate Soul Power of twenty levels, it had still been difficult, which was why she had been caught up to by that Tang San.

"Do not be discouraged. God Trial testing is not immutable. If you can fuse with my Angel Divine Power and develop extreme attributes, you can upgrade your God Trial and obtain the Angel Eight Trials."

Qian Renxue offered a word of encouragement. She thought highly of Ye Xishui; the purity of this Bright Phoenix martial soul was simply too rare.

"It is time for my God Trial. I hope it can reach the level of the Eight Trials."

Bibi Dong signaled for her to display her martial soul. She did not dare to hope for the highest Rakshasa Nine Trials; reaching the Eight Trials would be enough.

Ye Xishui switched to her Blood Soul Demon Puppet martial soul. Rakshasa Divine Power descended, evolving into seven rings of light before finally condensing into a sickle mark branded onto Ye Xishui's brow.

"As expected, the compatibility is still not enough."

Bibi Dong sighed with regret. Back then, she had used her Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor martial soul to carry and fuse with the Rakshasa God Position, thereby altering some of the Rakshasa God Position's attributes. Only the same Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor martial soul could be a perfect match.

Precisely because of this, she had used the authority of a god to leave a trail in the laws of heaven and earth; as long as a soul master with the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor martial soul cultivated to the Title Douluo level, they would be guided here.

Regrettably, she had waited for over ten thousand years without success, and this time, she had only encountered an external soul bone of a Soul-Devouring Demon Spider, not the martial soul itself.

"Your first God Trial task is to find a soul master with an extreme-attribute Angel Martial Soul, as well as a soul master with the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor martial soul."

"You may leave now!"

Qian Renxue issued the first God Trial task and signaled for the two to depart.

"Are the two of you not coming with us?"

Yang Hao would not miss the chance to cling to these two massive pillars of support. He had to trick them into coming back; only then could he feel truly secure.

Not to mention, there were still two Sovereign Artifacts and two sets of divine equipment involved.

"My mother and I are both very weak right now and cannot maintain consciousness for long. We will need to fall into a deep slumber afterward to slow the consumption of our power."

Qian Renxue shook her head. Their condition was poor, and her own divine soul had diminished significantly over the ten thousand years.

The main reason was that her time as a god had been too short, and she hadn't fully transformed before shattering her own god position, which had severely damaged her divine soul. It was a miracle she hadn't dissipated entirely back then.

Bibi Dong was also helpless; she was currently nothing more than a wisp of divine consciousness and could do little.

"Your Majesty, the junior has heard that Faith Power is very important to gods. The Sea God Tang San's resurrection from the dead ten thousand years ago relied heavily on Faith Power. Faith Power can even assist soul masters in creating their own god positions, so it should be able to help you."

"Our Holy Spirit Cult is a major faith-based sect with countless followers. We are even preparing to unify the continent with the help of explosives and firearms, and by then, we will be able to gather even more faith..."

Yang Hao desperately wanted to lure these two over. Even if they just slept within the Holy Spirit Cult, it would at least put him on a starting line comparable to Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong.

Ye Xishui watched quietly from the side. She also hoped to invite these two back, as it would allow her to communicate with them in the future and further understand the mysteries of becoming a god.

"Is that explosive and firearm of yours really that powerful?"

Bibi Dong was curious. She had intended to unify the continent back in her day, but unfortunately, she had been defeated by Tang San.

Having experienced the wars of unification, she knew very well how difficult it was. Relying on a single sect to unify the continent was far too arduous.

"Your Majesty, please look. This is the Desert Eagle Pistol. When combined with the Tang Sect's peerless Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track, it forms Gun-Fu."

Yang Hao demonstrated immediately, drawing two of the latest Desert Eagle Pistols and performing the perfected, upgraded version of Gun-Fu.

Next came the upgraded AK-47, which featured significant improvements in both power and accuracy.

Then followed the Sniper Rifle, the Vulcan Cannon, and the Anti-Aircraft Gun. He only briefly explained the subsequent rockets and missiles without testing them, as space was limited.

Even so, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were shocked. While the power of these firearms meant little to them, the fact that they could be mass-produced without limit was terrifying.

"If I had possessed such sharp weapons back then, Heaven Dou and Star Luo would have been wiped out long ago."

Bibi Dong sighed with emotion. There were many factors behind her failure back then, but the insufficient combat power of her legions was a major one.

"We also have the Tang Sect's Mysterious Heaven Skill, a technique left behind by the Sea God. There are two versions: one for Soul Masters to cultivate, and one for ordinary people to cultivate a type of energy called Internal Energy, which is similar to Soul Power."

"In other words, it allows ordinary people without Innate Soul Power to become Soul Masters, and the limit is not low."

"We are currently secretly collecting orphans to train. In twenty years, we could have a legion of millions or tens of millions of Soul Masters, and armed with these firearms, they would be enough to sweep across the entire continent. What we lack now is high-end combat power; relying solely on our Holy Spirit Cult is still far from enough to compare to the entire continent."

As Yang Hao spoke, he took out the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record. After he had originally given this item to Zhongli Wu, the latter had it copied and printed, returning the original to him.

"Hmm?"

Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue were shocked once more. They took the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record to examine it, and upon seeing the original cultivation method of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, they were certain.

"Sure enough, that Tang San is not from our world. He must have been brought here from another world by the Asura God or the Sea God."

With a cold sneer, Bibi Dong confirmed some of her suspicions; that Tang San was indeed not right.

Qian Renxue also confirmed that the Internal Energy produced by this cultivation method did not belong to their world.

"Xue'er."

Bibi Dong looked at her daughter, her heart stirred.

Remaining here meant only eternal slumber. If they could reach the outside world and obtain Faith Power, they would certainly be able to recover some of their strength.

Only then could they persist for longer; otherwise, her own divine consciousness could last at most another hundred years, and Xue'er's divine soul only a millennium. At that point, it would be true death.

She didn't care about herself, but Xue'er still had a divine soul and the foundation to continue living.

"Are we taking her with us?"

Qian Renxue looked at Hu Liena's corpse, effectively agreeing.

They had felt immense regret back then, kneeling before their mother's ice coffin with Hu Liena to atone for their sins, accompanying her for ten thousand years.

"No, let Na'er stay here."

Bibi Dong shook her head slightly. The outcome of this journey was uncertain, so it was better to leave Na'er here.

Using divine power to carve the black ice, she shaped an ice coffin, gently lifted Hu Liena's corpse, and changed her kneeling posture to lie flat within the coffin.

Finally, she stroked her disciple's cheek one last time and closed the lid.

Qian Renxue took out a storage Soul Tool and placed her mother's ice coffin and her own corpse inside, along with the two sealed Sovereign Artifacts.

This storage Soul Tool had been refined by her divine power; its quality was extraordinary, capable of holding and containing divine artifacts.

Combined with the fact that the two divine artifacts were sealed to suppress the divine power within, there was no issue in storing them.

Seeing the decision made by the two, Yang Hao smiled. Ye Xishui was also very satisfied, supporting her disciple's opinion.

Some things were different when said by her compared to when said by a disciple who was still a child. In any case, she couldn't use Faith Power for now, so she might as well give it to these two for their recovery.

Chapter 33: God-Slaying Spear!

Ye Xishui brought Yang Hao back, her mood exceptionally good, and her affection for this disciple grew even deeper.

He was truly her lucky star; upon arriving, he had brought such a great opportunity.

Yang Hao was also feeling wonderful; the harvest this time was too great.

With Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong as his golden thighs, he no longer needed to fear the schemes of God King Tang.

As long as God King Tang did not descend in his true form, he could definitely hold his ground.

Of course, this was only a safeguard. At the current stage, he couldn't significantly increase his own strength, so he still needed to continue developing in the shadows.

Beyond that, he felt fortunate. Fortunately, he had brought his teacher, Ye Xishui, along this time; otherwise, if he had gone down alone, he would likely have been silenced by Bibi Dong's divine consciousness to keep the place a secret.

There was no helping it; his current Martial Soul level and potential were too low for them to look upon favorably, and that lunatic Bibi Dong was no easy character.

He still needed to develop in the shadows!

Returning to the main altar, Ye Xishui summoned Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling to discuss the shift in faith, while Yang Hao remained in the side hall to read, study, and cultivate.

The harvest this time was immense. Not only had he successfully hoodwinked Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong, but he had also obtained the heritage of Martial Soul Hall, especially its collection of books.

When Bibi Dong died in battle, Qian Renxue had no heart for other matters, but Evil Moon and Yan had immediately returned to Martial Soul City to secure the accumulations of Martial Soul Hall over countless ages, including the books.

Among them were the spoils from when Martial Soul Hall attacked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, including the method used by Sword Douluo to condense soul rings into solid crystal cores.
