After a flurry of actions, Jiang Qingyu thanked Di Tian.
"No need to thank me. Just treat Aunt Ice and Aunt Fire well."
Di Tian did not ask for any reward; as long as Aunt Ice and Aunt Fire were well cared for, that would be the greatest return for him.
"Senior, rest assured. I will definitely take good care of them."
Jiang Qingyu answered very calmly.
The Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King skipped a beat in their hearts, wondering why this sentence felt wrong no matter how they heard it.
"Fire Dragon King, Qingyu shouldn't do anything bad, right?"
As the Ice Dragon King spoke, she looked at the Fire Dragon King. In response, the Fire Dragon King simply glared at her.
"Do something bad? If he really does it, you'll just have to endure it, and you can only cooperate well!"
This idiot, she was starting to worry now; what was she doing earlier?
She had been completely spoiled in the God Realm.
"I'm just bringing it up. Frankly, I'm quite looking forward to seeing what kind of bad things Qingyu can do."
The Ice Dragon King was also quite curious. What could someone so single-mindedly devoted to cultivation possibly do?
Surely he wouldn't squat down with his legs, make a V-sign with both hands on either side of his head, and roll his eyes...
No, no, the mental image was too wonderful; she dared not imagine it.
A rare flush appeared on the Ice Dragon King's cheeks.
The Fire Dragon King rolled her eyes at her, knowing she would not think of anything good.
Di Tian came before the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. "Actually, besides me, there are some things the two aunts need to know."
Di Tian revealed several matters.
The Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King were born from the split of the Dragon God. Now the Golden Dragon King was imprisoned in the God Realm, while the Silver Dragon King was resting and recuperating in deep sleep.
Having waited for tens of thousands of years, they had finally found a chance to counterattack, and Di Tian had also welcomed the spark of hope.
Upon learning of these events, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings fell into silence.
"Since things have come to this, we will talk about it later."
As things stood currently, there was nothing she and the Ice Dragon King could do.
Everything was about looking forward.
Of course, whether they could play a major role in the future would depend on Jiang Qingyu.
After everything was settled, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings bid farewell to Di Tian and returned to Jiang Qingyu's Sea of Consciousness.
"Little Qingyu, let's go back too. Everything has been resolved."
Guang Ling Douluo saw that the matter was settled.
"Let's go." Jiang Qingyu nodded. With everything resolved, the three of them left.
Di Tian watched the three of them walk far away, then turned and gave a stern order to Scarlet King beside him.
"Keep a close watch on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. It is not allowed to run out of the core area privately again. There must not be a second time for today's events."
Scarlet King bowed in compliance. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, lying flat on the ground, instantly drooped its head, feeling that its freedom was completely gone, filled with grievance yet daring not to retort.
The carriage crunched over withered branches and fallen leaves. The three of them had already boarded the carriage and slowly drove away from the perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest. Inside the carriage, Guang Ling Douluo lifted the curtain, still muttering under his breath.
"An eighty-nine-thousand-year Beast God—just thinking about it now makes me terrified. You brat really made a killing. An External Soul Bone plus his move, a single trip is worth decades of bitter cultivation for others."
Jiang Qingyu leaned against the carriage wall, his fingertips curled slightly as the sharpness of the Darkgolden Terror Claw flashed across the gaps between his fingers. He was calmly digesting the profound mysteries of the Dragon God's Claw, the scorching heat of the Ultimate Fire and the sharpness of the claw momentum vaguely showing signs of merging.
Bibi Dong sat opposite him, closing her eyes to regulate her breath as she carefully familiarized herself with the operation method of her sixth soul skill, Vampiric Spider Sting.
After muttering a few words and seeing that both of them were concentrating deeply, Guang Ling stopped talking and said with a solemn expression:
"After returning to Spirit Hall, it's enough to let the elders know; there's no need to inform the others. Your other six grandfathers are extremely protective of their own. Knowing you have such an opportunity, I reckon that if they had daughters, they'd all want to marry them to you."
Jiang Qingyu nodded in acknowledgment, but did not answer Guang Ling.
Damn it, Little Qingyu didn't reply to a single word of mine. It makes me look like I have no face at all!
Just as his voice fell, the carriage wheel rolled over a pebble, causing the carriage to jolt violently.
Bibi Dong's body tilted slightly, and Jiang Qingyu reached out to steady her wrist.
"Thank you." Bibi Dong withdrew her hand, her fingertips pausing for a moment.
Jiang Qingyu withdrew his hand and closed his eyes to concentrate once more.
The carriage headed all the way north toward Spirit City. The carriage gradually grew quiet, leaving only the soft sound of the wheels rolling.
Jiang Qingyu's mind sank into his Sea of Consciousness, where the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were dormant and regulating their breath.
After enduring several days of arduous travel, they finally returned to Spirit Hall.
"Saintess, you go back to the Papal Palace first to have a good chat with your teacher. I am going to take Little Qingyu back to the Worship Hall."
Guang Ling Douluo took Jiang Qingyu's palm and returned to the Worship Hall a step ahead.
He definitely wanted to brag about it properly.
Bibi Dong headed toward the Papal Palace.
Arriving before the Worship Hall, the giant doors were tightly shut, and the guards on both sides replied respectfully:
"Fifth Elder, the Chief Elder is currently comprehending certain insights and is inconvenient to disturb right now."
Guang Ling Douluo was startled, but still acted completely unconcerned.
"It's fine, I'll go in myself."
Guang Ling Douluo raised his foot and kicked open the doors of the Worship Hall, scaring the two guards so badly that their whole bodies gave a start.
Fifth Elder, you are far too arrogant.
The hall doors were kicked open. Qian Daoliu, who was deep in comprehension, opened his eyes, his brow furrowing slightly. Seeing Guang Ling Douluo, he was just about to rebuke him.
Guang Ling Douluo spoke a step faster:
"Big Brother, don't rush. Take a look at Little Qingyu's condition first."
As Guang Ling Douluo finished speaking, Qian Daoliu's gaze fell upon the aloof Jiang Qingyu.
His entire body shook. "Soul Saint! He broke through after going out on a trip."
When they first met, he was a Soul Emperor; in less than half a month, he was already a Soul Saint.
Such a leap was simply too massive.
"Of course! Big Brother, why don't you look at my aura!"
Guang Ling Douluo released the aura of a breakthrough to a ninety-seventh-rank Title Douluo.
Qian Daoliu's entire body shook, his eyes filled with astonishment.
"Ninety-seventh rank? Number Five, you've really gone and done something amazing."
Guang Ling Douluo chuckled, puffing out his chest:
"Big Brother, I am now also a ninety-seventh-rank Title Douluo. Can I be promoted to the Third Elder? Kick that fellow Azure Luan down and make him call me Third Brother."
Jiang Qingyu covered his face in embarrassment, inwardly muttering: My Guang Ling grandfather, you really dare to think about anything.
Qian Daoliu glanced at him as if looking at a fool:
"Are you an idiot? Elder rankings are based not just on soul power, but also on seniority and the authority one wields. You just broke through in realm and you want to surpass Azure Luan?"
Guang Ling's face fell as he muttered unconvinced:
"Why not? I'll surpass him sooner or later."
Qian Daoliu ignored him. His spiritual sense swept over Jiang Qingyu, and his expression suddenly paused.
"Ultimate Fire? Qingyu, did you also absorb a soul bone?"
Jiang Qingyu nodded in response.
Guang Ling immediately perked up, picking and choosing parts that could be told, and boasted about the fortuitous encounter in the Star Dou Great Forest while deliberately omitting the details of Di Tian and the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.
After listening, Qian Daoliu remained silent for a long time before finally saying in a deep voice:
"Such fortune is truly rare. Qingyu, you may freely take and use the cultivation techniques and resources of the Worship Hall. You must firmly lay down your foundation and not be overly hasty."
"This junior understands." Jiang Qingyu bowed and accepted.
"Alright, take him down to settle in. You yourself should quickly stabilize your realm and stop constantly obsessing over rankings all day long." Qian Daoliu waved his hand and added another sentence, "If you mention the Third Elder business again, I'll punish you with half a year of closed-door seclusion."
Guang Ling shrank his neck and hurriedly pulled Jiang Qingyu outward.
Once out of the hall doors, he still muttered softly:
"When my realm stabilizes, I'll put Azure Luan to shame sooner or later."
Jiang Qingyu shook his head helplessly and followed him toward the back courtyard of the Worship Hall.
