Qian Wuji rolled his eyes helplessly and continued with the serious matter. "It's not just the Heaven Dou Empire. The Star Luo Empire is equally laughably weak!"
"The entire Star Luo Empire claims to be a nation that values martial strength, yet their imperial family only has one Title Douluo—and he's their current emperor!"
"I also looked into the so-called Seven Great Sects. In the end, I found that only the Upper Three Sects had Title Douluos holding down the fort."
"The remaining four sects all had Soul Douluos as their sect masters. There wasn't even a trace of a Title Douluo among them."
"Big Brother, do you know what that means?" Qian Wuji asked, his eyes gleaming meaningfully.
"It means that across the entire Douluo Continent, the total number of Title Douluos possessed by the two great empires and the Seven Great Sects combined isn't even greater than Spirit Hall's!"
"Spirit Hall's current Title Douluos completely crush the entire continent, both in numbers and in quality!"
At this point, Qian Wuji said excitedly, "The plan we brothers wanted to carry out back then but never got the chance to complete can be accomplished in Xiao Heng and Xiao Xue's generation!"
"Damn, the outside world was actually this weak?"
Qian Wushuang finally came to his senses and slammed his palm heavily against the armrest of his chair, his voice full of astonishment.
If the outside world had been this weak in their era, why would the two brothers have needed to scheme so painstakingly?
He alone could have swept aside every defiant force with the Angel Holy Sword in hand. Anyone who dared oppose Spirit Hall? Heh, he would plow through their entire faction!
"Exactly. It's just that weak!"
Qian Wuji smiled helplessly and spread his hands. "That's why I said big brother was made for this era—for Spirit Hall!"
"With such utterly overwhelming strength, unless gods suddenly appeared on the other side, I truly couldn't think of any way Spirit Hall could lose this time!"
"With such an incredible hand, even without us, Liu'er and the others shouldn't have been able to play it that badly, right? No matter how foolish they were, they couldn't possibly ruin Spirit Hall's ten-thousand-year foundation, could they?"
Qian Wushuang nodded deeply in agreement.
"Let Xiao Heng and Xiao Xue naturally take care of things like conquering the world and changing history in the future."
"We old fossils who returned from the dead only needed to be their strongest support!"
As he spoke, Qian Wushuang seemed to recall something amusing, and the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.
"Honestly, I could tell that Xiao Heng wasn't the obedient sort deep down!"
"Do you know that when I had just been revived, that brat asked me for a gift? Do you know what he wanted?!"
"What was it?" Qian Wuji's curiosity was instantly piqued, and he hurriedly pressed for an answer.
"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!" Qian Wushuang spoke five words.
"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?" Qian Wuji raised an eyebrow and laughed. "I thought it was some rare treasure. It was only a mere Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!"
"With Spirit Hall's strength, we could just catch one in the Star Dou Forest. As his great-grandfather, surely you couldn't fail to handle something so minor?"
"Twelve Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings." Qian Wushuang calmly lifted his teacup and took a light sip.
Qian Wuji had just reached for his tea when his hand trembled and froze in midair. "Wait, twelve Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings?"
"What was Xiao Heng trying to do, wholesale business?"
Those were twelve Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings! Every Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring was guaranteed to produce a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!
That added up to twelve Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones. With resources that terrifying, they could probably forcefully raise several Super Douluos!
"He was preparing them for his second martial soul. At the time, I didn't yet know that his second martial soul, the Life Realm, could produce Hundred-Thousand-Year Plant Soul Beasts in batches."
"Those twelve Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings also included Xiao Xue's Soul Rings." Qian Wushuang smiled helplessly.
"I see..." Qian Wuji nodded slightly.
It wasn't as though peerless geniuses with Twin Martial Souls had never appeared in the Soul Master world before.
Spirit Hall possessed the correct cultivation method for Twin Martial Souls, and it was exceptionally detailed.
There was only one ironclad rule: before a Soul Master's own Soul Power Level had reached the Title Douluo realm, they absolutely could not attach any Soul Rings to their second martial soul.
Otherwise, the conflict produced when the Soul Power of two martial souls with different attributes erupted would be too much for the body to bear, and they would ultimately explode and die.
However, once the owner of Twin Martial Souls endured until reaching the Title Douluo realm, their body would reach its peak after being strengthened by nine Soul Rings.
Then, when they added Soul Rings to their second martial soul, they could start by absorbing Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings!
They could forge a terrifying martial soul equipped entirely with Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings—or even entirely with Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings!
Most importantly, when the second martial soul absorbed Soul Rings, the Soul Power contained within the rings would feed back into the Soul Master, allowing their Soul Power Level to undergo a massive leap!
It could save them countless years of cultivation and directly bring them to a realm others could never reach even after exhausting their entire lives!
Qian Wuji murmured, "So Xiao Heng's ambition was to wait until he reached the Title Douluo realm, then attach nothing but Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings to his second martial soul? He really dared to dream big!"
"But... now that us old fossils have all returned, finding and killing a mere dozen or so Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts truly wouldn't be difficult!"
"How many Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were in the core region of the Star Dou Forest? We didn't know. But in the vast, boundless ocean, there were plenty of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!"
"Even if we truly couldn't find enough, Xiao Heng still had the Life Realm. We only needed to wait ten years to obtain a large batch of Hundred-Thousand-Year Plant Soul Beasts!"
"A martial soul with nothing but Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings... tsk, tsk. I really wonder how powerful it would be!"
Qian Wushuang smiled. "That wasn't even all. Back then, Xiao Heng casually said that being the Pope of Spirit Hall was too boring."
"If he was going to be something, he would become the ruler of the world, the emperor who united everything under heaven. As they said, every dynasty has its day—next year, it'll be my turn!"
Qian Wushuang savored those words carefully. "Little brother, think about it carefully. That brat spoke with such arrogance. It was simply wonderful!"
"I saw it then. Even if us old fossils had never been revived, with Xiao Heng's drive alone, once he grew up, cultivated to the Title Douluo realm, and became the Pope of Spirit Hall, he would probably still have made a move against the two great empires!"
"That brat... was absolutely not someone willing to live beneath others."
"You ran off right after being revived, so you hadn't spent much time with him. You didn't know that Xiao Heng was practically a complete rascal!"
As he spoke, Qian Wushuang burst into hearty laughter. Being unruly was good—it meant the brat had grand ambitions, the bearing of a hero, and his own magnificent ideas!
He was far better than that stubborn, rigid Qian Daoliu, whose head was filled with nothing but knightly ideals.
Knightly ideals? Pah!
The Qian Clan did conduct itself openly and honorably, yes, but they certainly weren't foolish pedants. Clearly, in his heart, Qian Daoliu was somewhat too pedantic.
If they could unite the world, become emperor, bring a better future to this world, and more thoroughly carry out the Angel God's teachings, who would still want to be a Pope?!
"Big Brother, hearing you put it that way, I truly liked that brat's personality more and more."
Qian Wuji was also fired up as he asked, "Big Brother, in the three months I was gone, had Xiao Heng and Xiao Xue been cultivating diligently?"
When Qian Wuji brought up cultivation, Qian Wushuang's smile grew even broader.
"Little brother, you might not believe me when I tell you this. You might even think your elder brother was bragging again."
Qian Wushuang held up three fingers. "Xiao Heng's Soul Power Level broke through to level thirty today."
"Level thirty?!"
Qian Wuji shot up from his chair and cried out in shock. "Big Brother, you mean..."
"Over these three months, Xiao Heng raised his Soul Power Level by an average of one level per month? How could his cultivation speed be so absurdly fast?!"
Qian Wushuang smiled. "That's right! It really was that absurd and unbelievable. I only learned the reason afterward."
"And Xiao Xue's cultivation speed wasn't slow at all. Just a few days ago, she successfully broke through as well, reaching level twenty-nine. She was only one level away from thirty!"
A six-year-old Quasi-Soul Elder!
Qian Wuji drew a deep breath. With talent like that, they were practically leaving no way for anyone else of their generation to survive!
Those born in the same generation as Xiao Heng and Xiao Xue were probably doomed. They could only stare at their backs from afar!
