The Crucial Link, Building Faith
"Hmm? That scent seems so familiar?"
Just as Jiang Xiu and Na'er passed by Tang Wulin, Tang Wulin seemed to sense something, suddenly stopped what he was doing, and looked around.
But Jiang Xiu and Na'er did not stop. They continued walking into the distance and soon disappeared from the Skysea Alliance arena.
"How strange, why do I feel a strange sense of familiarity with Jiang Xiu?" Tang Wulin scratched his head slightly, puzzled, as he watched the two figures disappear.
"Tang Wulin, why aren't you eating? I've already finished mine." Just as Tang Wulin was confused, Xu Lizhi had finished the food in front of him and was about to reach for Tang Wulin's plate.
"Stop!" Tang Wulin immediately slapped Xu Lizhi's hand away and quickly stuffed the food into his mouth.
Although he no longer possesses the Golden Dragon King Origin, his appetite has not diminished.
"I'm still hungry, so I'll have to eat my own buns." Xu Lizhi sighed, rubbing his round belly as the last of the food disappeared.
"Little foodie, what are you doing here? I told you not to wander around. What if there are people outside with bad intentions? You're a Shrek Academy student now."
Just as Xu Lizhi was gathering steamed buns with her Soul Power, a dashing figure appeared behind her, and it was none other than Ye Xinglan with a stern face.
"Sister Xinglan!" Turning around and seeing the person behind him, Xu Lizhi was startled and quickly said, "I'm just hungry and want to eat something..."
"Let's go, the teacher is already waiting for us." Ye Xinglan glanced at Tang Wulin and the others indifferently, flicked her golden hair, and walked out with a very capable air.
"Wulin, I'm leaving now. Let's meet again tonight." Xu Lizhi gave Tang Wulin a finger and immediately followed Ye Xinglan. Beneath his honest appearance, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes as he looked at Ye Xinglan's back.
"Oh, okay." Tang Wulin nodded slightly. He found some common interests in Xu Lizhi, whom he had only recently met but who was also a big eater.
"Wulin, come here for a moment." At this moment, the aloof Wu Changkong walked over from a distance and waved to Tang Wulin.
"Teacher, what's wrong? Is there some competition to arrange?" Tang Wulin followed behind Wu Changkong until they stopped in a secluded spot.
"It's not about the competition," Wu Changkong shook his head slightly, looking at Tang Wulin with a complicated expression. "Wulin, your teacher has used every connection at hand, but hasn't found any trace of your parents."
"..." Tang Wulin fell silent upon hearing this, his voice hoarse as he asked, "Teacher, what if my parents...?"
"Don't overthink it. Your teacher will definitely help you find your parents." Wu Changkong's face darkened, and he waved his hand to interrupt, "What did your parents do before, or did they have any special skills? The more details the better."
"What do they do..." Tang Wulin was slightly taken aback. "My parents used to be pharmacists. In the letters they left me, they said they went to work as pharmacists for a big company, saying they would earn enough money for me to buy Soul Spirit."
Wu Changkong raised an eyebrow slightly and murmured, "A pharmacist..."
Inside the Blacksmith Association's exclusive hotel.
Jiang Xiu sat cross-legged on the bed, black mist swirling in his hands. A tall figure slowly rose from the shadows, his scarlet eyes filled with icy coldness.
But the moment he saw Jiang Xiu, his loyalty vanished, and he chuckled as he approached Jiang Xiu's side.
"My the Master, what are your orders?"
Jiang Xiu glanced at the Ant Emperor and gestured for him to sit down in the chair next to him.
As one of his two generals, the Ant Emperor was always kept by his side to Guardian his safety because of her extraordinary sense of danger.
"How is things going with Ba Emperor?" Jiang Xiu asked softly.
Mentioning Ba Emperor, the Ant Emperor's expression immediately turned serious. "It has been half a year since Ba Emperor and Fierce Emperor Lie sparred. Ba Emperor has not left his palace during these months, presumably he has been cultivating and preparing for the sparring session six months from now."
"Six months is plenty of time to prepare," Jiang Xiu nodded thoughtfully.
After returning to the Holy Spirit Cult, Dark Bell sent him a message saying that the Holy Spirit Cult was indeed preparing materials for the Blood River God-Slaying Array, but had not yet conveyed the specific layout of the array to them.
However, Dark Bell guarantees that the formation can be set up within a month.
As for the life force and resentment required for the Blood River God-Slaying Array, Jiang Xiu had already entrusted the Six-Claw Demon Emperor to provide them. Within the Abyss Plane, there was an ample supply of these things, since the Abyss was never short of Abyssal Creatures.
Furthermore, they don't need too many; they don't necessarily need to reach the level of a true God Level formation. They only need enough to kill the Ba Emperor.
"Has that thing been successfully condensed?" Everything was proceeding according to plan. Jiang Xiu looked at the Ant Emperor, then activated his Monarch Domain, isolating himself from the outside world.
"You can rest assured that I can handle things." The Ant Emperor grinned, placed his hands on his heart, and a rhombus-shaped Abyss Crystal slowly floated out.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
The Ant Emperor unleashed Abyss energy from its hand, slowly injecting it into the Abyss Crystal. The purplish-black crystal slowly opened a slit, from which a wisp of pure white, almost transparent thread slowly floated out.
This wisp of transparent thread was quite mysterious, belonging to none of the categories of Soul Power, blood energy, or Abyss energy, yet it faintly exuded an alluring aura, quietly floating in mid-air.
"My the Master, this is the Faith Power you asked me to gather, though it is only a little bit." The Ant Emperor held it up with both hands and handed it to Jiang Xiu.
The moment Jiang Xiu saw the transparent thread, his eyes lit up, and he solemnly accepted it.
This Faith Power is the key to his participation in the competition in the East Sea. Students like Yu Yuanheng from the Shrek Academy are merely stepping stones; he wants to lure out the bigger fish.
"My the Master, as you know, although our Ant Emperor Clan and Bat Emperor Clan have many members, very few are intelligent. The Faith Power can only temporarily condense these few." After handing it to Jiang Xiu, the Ant Emperor explained with some concern.
"Not bad, you've done very well." Jiang Xiu examined the Faith Power in his hand, a slight smile appearing on his lips, and praised him.
"It would be good to share the burden for our the Master," the Ant Emperor replied solemnly, his eyes extremely firm, though he was somewhat puzzled.
Not long ago, Jiang Xiu suddenly asked him if he could condense the Faith Power Faith Power. Having conquered many planes, he naturally knew about the existence of this special energy.
This requires extremely devout believers, and as the emperor of a clan, he naturally has loyal subordinates, but he had never paid attention to this kind of energy before.
Because if they want to break through in cultivation, they can only rely on racial advancement wars to fundamentally upgrade at the plane level. After all, their origin is closely connected with the Abyss Plane, and the Faith Power is extremely useless to them.
Moreover, although their races are numerous, few are intelligent. The races mentioned earlier are indeed much more intelligent, but their numbers are extremely small, so they cannot pose a significant threat. Therefore, they are not interested in the Faith Power throughout the entire Abyss.
Compared to the Faith Power, the life force can be plundered much faster.
"Everything is ready now, we just need to wait for the competition to begin."
Jiang Xiu's purple eyes transformed into Blood Pupil, piercing through the Monarch Domain and gazing into the distance.
In this world, only that Holy Spirit Douluo can directly perceive the Faith Power...
