[Name: Qian Xunji] [Identity: A transmigrator from Blue Star] [Martial Soul: Emperor Armor?] [Cultivation: Level 99 Quasi-God] [Spiritual Power: Divine Origin Realm, Third-Level God tier] [Body: Indestructible Vajra Body, infinitely close to a Divine Body] [Special Items in System Space: Side-Effect-Free Spirit Ring Deprivation Card ×6, Bloodline Deprivation Card ×1, Magic Card Monster Reborn ×1, a lake of Child-Mother River Water, Senzu Bean ×5] [Ta-da~ Remember to check in, dear.]
"It's already time for the monthly check-in. Time flies," Qian Xunji remarked.
Accepting the Evil Emperor's sacrifice had raised his spiritual power to the level of a Third-Level God. It had also given him the Evil Eye Tyrant External Soul Bone, the prototype of the Super Artifact Eternal Eye.
After accepting the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's sacrifice, his body had come infinitely close to a Divine Body, and he had gained the lightning attribute.
With his current strength, he had a ninety-eight percent chance of clearing Asura's Fourth Trial against Tang Chen without a scratch.
Enough of that. First, the check-in.
[This month's check-in reward: One-Step 100,000-Year Spirit Beast Cultivation Card ×1. Effect: Whether used on a Ten-Year Soul Beast or a Hundred-Year Soul Beast, it raises its cultivation straight to 100,000 years.] [Note: The time required to reach 100,000 years varies with the Spirit Beast's current cultivation. Each 10,000-year increase takes approximately one minute.]
An instant infusion that forcibly poured in Soul Power to raise cultivation needed some time. Fair enough.
System Mother was so thoughtful. She knew he was going looking for the Thunderclap Nether Vine and had sent him a One-Step 100,000-Year Spirit Beast Cultivation Card.
According to Douluo lore, the strongest wild Thunderclap Nether Vines had only forty to fifty thousand years of cultivation.
On the Douluo Plane, its consciousness did not permit a 100,000-year Thunderclap Nether Vine to come into being.
A Thunderclap Nether Vine with ten thousand years of cultivation could not satisfy Qian Xunji's appetite.
A 100,000-year Thunderclap Nether Vine would barely do.
Only a Ferocious Beast-level Thunderclap Nether Vine could meet his need to temper his body with lightning tribulation and push it to the level of a Divine Body.
In the later era of The Legend of the Dragon King, Dragon Valley Continent was known as Star Luo Continent.
In the original Douluo Continent, the only Thunderclap Nether Vine to appear had been found on this continent.
Qian Xunji strode through the air, sweeping the land with his divine sense as he searched for his target.
He had no interest in the natives below, who were still at the stage of tribal civilization.
Even adorable little girls like Klee splashing in the river could not make him stop for a second.
Three days later.
Qian Xunji had swept Dragon Valley Continent with his divine sense and spiritual power, yet had not found a single Thunderclap Nether Vine with ten thousand years of cultivation. "Strange. How can there be none?"
The only Thunderclap Nether Vine he had found had just a hundred years of cultivation.
There was only one Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with the Evil God Bloodline.
There was only one Thunderclap Nether Vine with the Thunder God Bloodline.
Seen that way, it made sense.
In a valley.
As Qian Xunji ate barbecue and drank chilled coconut juice, space rippled.
A portal appeared out of thin air.
A surge of pure dragon energy poured from within.
"There's definitely something good in there," the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King said excitedly.
[Dragon Valley Entrance.] [Friendly reminder: Your cultivation is too high. Entry is prohibited.]
Being unable to enter the Dragon Valley Minor Plane was heartbreaking.
He knew a tremendous opportunity lay inside, yet he could only watch it slip away.
But if he truly had the chance to enter the Dragon Valley Minor Plane now... I'm an Asura Successor. I know my limits. I'm not going in there to get myself killed.
He unfurled the Eight Spider Lances to absorb the dragon energy pouring out while marking the location on the System Map.
No point beating around the bush. I want the Dragon God Core.
The Golden Dragon King was imprisoned in the forbidden grounds of the Divine Realm, while the Silver Dragon King slept at the bottom of the Lake of Life.
Without the bloodlines of both the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings, there was no point dreaming of obtaining the Dragon God Core.
"This dragon energy is no ordinary thing." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King watched the entrance close, a flicker of regret in his eyes.
"The real opportunity inside makes dragon energy look cheap." Qian Xunji said no more. He could not speak of the Dragon God Core.
Once the Dragon Valley Entrance had closed completely, Qian Xunji left the valley.
On his way out, he began thinking of founding an organization and training some kindhearted young Spirit Masters to enter the Dragon Valley Minor Plane and fleece the Dragon Clan.
After all, if neither of us fleeces them and the Tang Family ends up taking everything, that would leave a bad taste in my mouth.
Qian Xunji arrived at a gorge thick with the lightning element.
It was home to the century-old Thunderclap Nether Vine he had discovered with his divine sense.
The vine was drawing down lightning to cultivate.
Dark clouds blanketed the sky, and lightning bolts kept falling.
They struck without any discernible pattern.
Suddenly, a thin blue-white bolt struck Qian Xunji. His clothes tore, but his body remained completely unharmed.
"Natural lightning this weak can't even curl my hair anymore?" He sighed, disappointed.
With Senzu Beans on hand, as long as he did not die, even a strike that left him crippled could be healed, restoring him to full strength.
Without that assurance, what normal person would dare temper his body with lightning tribulation? He was not a member of the MM clan.
His divine sense detected a weak flying Spirit Beast approaching at incredible speed.
A second later, he felt a tap against his right temple.
Qian Xunji turned in disbelief. A sharp-beaked Spirit Beast covered in emerald-green feathers had attacked him.
[Species: Emerald Demon Bird] [Cultivation: 8,600+ years]
An Emerald Demon Bird attacking my temple? It wants to kill me and eat my brain.
He immediately used the Eight Spider Lances to teach the brave, foolish bird a fatal lesson.
I'm a Quasi-God, and a Spirit Beast with less than ten thousand years of cultivation just attacked me.
Who would believe that story?
The Emerald Demon Bird lived up to its reputation for courting death.
When the ancient Dragon Clan was at its strongest, Emerald Demon Birds had killed dragons and eaten their brains. The dragons had nearly wiped them out, turning a once-gregarious species of Spirit Beast into solitary wanderers.
"Doesn't taste good. Hardly any energy." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had grown used to eating fine fare lately, so devouring a thousand-year Spirit Beast felt like a letdown.
"Mr. Demon Whale King, you can taste food?" Qian Xunji was curious. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had become the Artifact Spirit of the Eight Spider Lances. Could he still taste Spirit Beasts he consumed through Devouring?
"Of course I can. I'm an expert at Devouring," the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King said proudly.
On the Douluo Plane, when it came to Devouring, if he claimed second place, who would dare claim first?
Not even the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
"Then tell me what this tastes like." Qian Xunji took out a glass of Sprite.
"Isn't it just water... Sweet! That's good." The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had sounded dismissive, but the moment he consumed it through the Eight Spider Lances, he changed his tune.
And so a shut-in whale finally found his people.
