Wu Ling sat quietly in the meditation room. This time, traversing the Void had taken a lot of his energy. Although he already had two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, it was better to be cautious this time when absorbing the Three-Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring that was related to his Martial Soul Avatar.
"Phew~"
After taking a deep breath, Wu Ling took out the device containing the Three-Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, opened it, and the bright red Spirit Ring floated in front of Wu Ling.
"Then let me see my Martial Soul Avatar!" After saying that, Wu Ling began to absorb the Spirit Ring.
Outside the house, Xiao Lan, Xiao Hong, and the others sensed that the Wu Ling inside had begun absorbing the Spirit Ring, and they also began to transfer the Soul Power they had cultivated over the past year back into the Wu Ling's body.
As time went by, Xiao Lan and the others all returned, leaving only Xiao Fen behind, who was still organizing the Soul Tool data she had collected from the Mingde Hall, trying to figure out which ones needed to be mass-produced and which ones needed to be taught.
Time continued to pass second by second, and Xiao Fen was still working diligently when suddenly, a power was transmitted from her body to hers. Xiao Fen was filled with the sudden energy and couldn't help but shiver. Then she realized that Wu Ling's Seventh Soul Ring had been absorbed.
As if confirming Xiao Fen's suspicions, the next second, an immense pressure emanated from the house, instantly filling the entire Barrier.
The servants who were cleaning suddenly rolled their eyes and fainted. Before losing consciousness, the butler, Old Li, realized that the owner of the house had returned.
This oppressive force even penetrated the outdated Barrier; for ordinary people and ordinary Spirit Master, it was merely a sudden, inexplicable sensation.
However, all the Titled Douluo in Spirit City subconsciously looked towards Wu Ling's residence at the same time, because they felt a threat from this oppressive aura. The key point is that this threat did not come from the physical body, but from the soul.
Then, when they sensed the familiarity within that oppressive aura, their wariness vanished instantly, replaced by a surge of joy. As Titled Douluo, they all knew that their Holy Son had gone somewhere to cultivate, and this oppressive aura was likely emanating from Holy Son.
The Holy Son is the future of the Spirit Hall, and his strength foreshadows the strength of the Spirit Hall. Therefore, we must celebrate Holy Son great progress in cultivation.
"Guards, prepare congratulatory gifts and deliver them to the Holy Son's residence to congratulate Holy Son on his great advancement in cultivation!"
Of course, the above actions only occurred in the homes of Gui Mei and Yue Guan, the two worshippers who had a good relationship with Wu Ling, and a few elders. Although the remaining worshippers also had a good relationship with Wu Ling, the difference between them could be seen from the way they were addressed as "worshippers" and "elders".
Therefore, as elders, they couldn't bring themselves to congratulate a junior, even an outstanding one. However, they also sensed that Wu Ling had only broken through to the Soul Saint realm. If Wu Ling had suddenly been granted the title of Titled Douluo, they would have offered their congratulations, even for the sake of their own families.
" Ling'er, are you back!" In the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong stood up in surprise. She was about to leave to find Wu Ling, but when she looked down, she saw a huge pile of documents.
Bibi Dong clenched her teeth slightly, glanced at Wu Ling's location again, and finally sat down to continue reviewing the documents. However, this time, her speed gradually increased.
Ignoring the outside world, in Wu Ling's residence, Xiao Fen opened her palms and sensed the energy within her body.
" Spirit Master levels are 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, with each level representing a leap, and the leaps becoming larger as you progress."
At level 10, one becomes Spirit Master; at level 30, one can absorb Thousand-Year Soul Ring; at level 50, one can absorb a ten-thousand -Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring; at level 70, one obtains Martial Soul Avatar; and at Level 90, one can absorb a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, thus becoming Titled Douluo.
Before this, the main body had experienced all the other forms of power except for the Martial Soul Avatar and the Titled Douluo. However, it was unexpected that the power of the Martial Soul Avatar was so strong. Or was it only the main body that was like this? With these questions in mind, Xiao Fen pushed open the door.
A golden, brilliant gold color, tinged with warmth, filled the entire room; the walls, floor, and ceiling were all bathed in its golden light.
In the center of the room stood a mysterious, magnificent, and sacred golden throne. Wu Ling sat on that throne, his left hand supporting his cheek in a fist, while his right index finger gently tapped the armrest.
"The Throne?" Xiao Fen asked in confusion. Just now, although she was organizing the data on the Soul Tool outside, she had also devoted some of her energy to guessing the Martial Soul Avatar of Wu Ling's martial soul.
She had no change in her Unregistered Spirit Origin, a figure of the Beast of Humanity Gudako, the Holy Grail Holy Grail that she used whenever she was in doubt, and she had even guessed that Mash's shield was a throne.
Xiao Fen stepped forward and began to examine the throne closely. Xiao Fen only glanced at the carvings on the throne before becoming engrossed in them. Battles, adventures, and carnage—in a daze, she seemed to experience the lives of countless valiant warriors.
Immediately afterwards, a message was transmitted from Wu Ling's mind.
" The Throne of Heroes!" Xiao Fen exclaimed, somewhat surprised, uttering the information that had been forming in her mind.
"Wait, since this is the Throne of Heroes, then aren't you, in your true form, the so-called Heroic King?!"
Hearing Xiao Fen's words, Wu Ling nodded silently, which was exactly what he was thinking about, because the Seat of Heroes was not the Hall of Heroic Spirit.
Heroic Spirit is the palace in Norse mythology created by Odin to Valhalla the Valkyrie, and it is mentioned in the game character details for Valkyrie.
The Seat of Heroes is the place in the Nasuverse where those who made a pact with Alaya or the legendary Age of Heroes who died in battle are located; it is a location independent of the timeline.
Therefore, if a Heroic King could truly appear, then this Heroic King must be an existence acknowledged or related to Alaya.
Based on the abilities of the Martial Soul Avatar that Wu Ling knows, although there is still the possibility that "he himself is the embodiment of the Seat of Heroes," this possibility is extremely slim, given Angra Mainyu's attitude towards him.
Xiao Fen understood Wu Ling's thoughts, but before thinking about those things, she only wanted to know the abilities of this Throne of Heroes.
"Main body, you can think about those things later when you're stronger. Now, tell me about the abilities of the Throne of Heroes. Honestly, you didn't just pass on all the information to me; you had to keep me in suspense and make me ask it myself," Xiao Fen asked, stroking the throne.
Upon hearing this, Wu Ling's serious expression vanished, and she chuckled twice as she explained, "I just wanted to show off a bit, but I can't show it off to outsiders since they wouldn't understand anyway, so I can only show it off to my own people."
