Journey to Maze Grand Canyon
Upon hearing this, Jun Xuehan glanced at Qian Renxue's somewhat languid appearance but didn't pay much attention. After helping Qian Renxue tidy up her things, she slowly walked to the bedside, lay down, and embraced Qian Renxue as they drifted off to sleep.
Three months later.
In the garden of the Pope's Palace, it is now the season of blooming flowers. Flowers of various colors are planted together, and with a gentle breeze, the petals tremble slightly, just like waves of color, which is very beautiful.
In the pavilion in the center of the garden, faint music could be heard emanating from it.
The music was elegant, as if it had broken free from all the shackles of heaven and earth, bursting forth in an instant, making people involuntarily immerse their thoughts in the music, unable to extricate themselves.
The music was simply wonderful!
Jun Xuehan sat in the pavilion, her fair and slender fingers plucking the Guqin in front of her, producing ethereal music.
Across from him, Qian Renxue was leisurely sipping tea, eating pastries, and listening to beautiful music.
After three months of calming their minds and Meditative Cultivation, the two have now completely shaken off the mental state they had in the City of Slaughter, and all the killing intent within them has been withdrawn without being leaked in the slightest.
Their Soul Power has now reached the bottleneck of level 70 Soul Saint. Furthermore, because both of them are going to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Worship Hall and the Pope's Palace began preparations two months ago.
Even the Second Worship, Fourth Worship Elder, and Fifth Worship Elder, who were enshrined as patrons, went out of the Worship Hall to the Maze Grand Canyon within the Star Luo Empire to inquire about the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast there.
According to the reports, there are three Soul Beasts in the Maze Grand Canyon with cultivation levels exceeding Hundred Thousand Year. They are: the Dark Phoenix, possessing extreme darkness and Space Attribute; the Light Phoenix, possessing extreme light and holy attributes; and the Sacred Rock Giant Python, possessing extreme earth attributes.
It is precisely because of the presence of the Worship Hall and the Pope's Palace that they are jointly preparing to hunt Soul Beast.
The music gradually stopped, Jun Xuehan placed her hands flat on the strings, and Qian Renxue slowly put down the pastries in her hands.
Outside the garden, Pope Bibi Dong, dressed in a white outfit, walked into the garden. In the opposite direction, Qian Daoliu was walking with the Third Offering, Sixth Worship Elder, and Seventh Worship Elder, along with two Elders of the Worship Hall.
One of the elders was none other than Elder Lie Yan, who had brought Jun Xuehan to Spirit City. More than ten years had passed, yet time seemed to have left no trace on her.
"Teacher!"
"Grandfather!"
Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue stood up and spoke in different directions.
"Everything is ready, we can go now." Bibi Dong glanced at Qian Daoliu who was walking over, then waved to Jun Xuehan, indicating that he could leave.
Qian Daoliu didn't care about Bibi Dong's attitude. He calmly patted Qian Renxue's shoulder and walked out of the Pope's Palace with Bibi Dong.
After all, no matter what, the Qian Family also owed Bibi Dong a debt of gratitude, having done things that were unfair to Bibi Dong.
"Teacher, judging from your outfit, are you planning to take action yourself this time?" Jun Xuehan asked softly, looking at Bibi Dong's current attire.
"Well, if I think about it carefully, Xuehan, you've been my teacher for ten years, almost eleven. I haven't given you anything yet. This time you need Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and I have to do my part. Moreover, according to the information sent back by the Second Worship, there are three Soul Beasts with cultivation levels of over Hundred Thousand Year in the Maze Grand Canyon. Besides the Soul Ring you and Xue'er need, there's one left, and I happen to be short two Soul Ring myself." Bibi Dong smiled. Her Second Martial Soul was still missing two Soul Rings, so her trip to the Maze Grand Canyon was partly to help Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue obtain a Soul Ring, and partly because she herself needed Soul Ring.
"Teacher, which Soul Beast have you set your sights on?" Jun Xuehan asked curiously.
"The attributes of the Light Phoenix are the best match for Xue'er's Martial Soul, so it's naturally for Xue'er. As for the remaining Dark Phoenix and Sacred Rock Giant Python, it's up to you to choose. Once you've made your choice, the last one will be mine." Bibi Dong said matter-of-factly, her words light and casual, as if she didn't care at all about the three Soul Beasts that were over Hundred Thousand Year.
And that was indeed the case. In order to hunt down three Soul Beasts with a cultivation level of over Hundred Thousand Year, Bibi Dong personally took action, accompanied by Gui Mei, Yue Guan, and two Titled Douluo who rarely appeared in the Pope's Palace.
Including the Great Worship Elder of the Worship Hall and two elders above Level 90, a total of fourteen Titled Douluo have participated this time, making it an unprecedentedly luxurious lineup.
Of the Great Worship Elder in the Worship Hall, apart from the Great Worship Elder Qian Daoliu Limit Douluo, the remaining six elders are all Super Douluo of level 95 or above.
Adding Bibi Dong, who can only unleash the power of a level 98 Super Douluo, there are seven Super Douluo above level 95.
There are also six Titled Douluo whose Soul Power is below level 95.
With such a lineup, it would be more than enough to hunt down three Soul Beasts with Cultivation Age of over Hundred Thousand Year, or even to destroy the Number One Sect Under Heaven Clear Sky Sect.
Stepping out of the Pope's Palace, one sees thousands of Temple Knights standing in neat rows in front of the Pope's Palace.
In the center of the procession was a lavishly decorated Fragrant Carriage and several luxurious horse-drawn carriages.
Gui Mei and Yue Guan stood on either side of the Fragrant Carriage, while two Titled Douluo Jun Xuehan had never seen before sat at the very front of the carriage, acting as its drivers.
The Temple Knights are the strongest army in the Pope's Palace. Those who can enter them must have a minimum Soul Power of a Three-Ring Soul Elder, while the commander of the Temple Knights possesses the strength of Eight-Ring Soul Douluo.
"Teacher, won't the Star Luo Imperial Family be furious if we enter the Star Luo Empire's territory so blatantly?" Jun Xuehan couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement at the scene before her.
"Hehe, getting angry? Don't think that just because I entered the Star Luo Empire to hunt Soul Beast, I could just place people in front of the Star Luo Imperial Palace and the Star Luo Imperial Family wouldn't dare say a word against it." Bibi Dong chuckled, not caring at all.
Upon hearing this, Jun Xuehan and Qian Renxue both nodded in agreement. With the current lineup, not to mention the Star Luo Imperial Family, apart from Sea God Island, which also has Limit Douluo in charge, there is basically no force on the continent that can withstand it.
Qian Daoliu is just not making a move. Don't take his Limit Douluo strength for granted. He could easily kill Titled Douluo below level 95 in one move.
