Golden Dragon King Seal

The previous Holy Son of Spirit Hall, Ye Fan, had once shattered the common understanding of the Soul Master world by successfully absorbing a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring beyond his level.

Everyone had thought that was an impossible miracle to replicate, yet Su Qi had somehow accomplished it as well!

With a Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring as his foundation, how could his fourth soul ring possibly be anything less than ten thousand years?

In terms of soul ring age, his fourth soul ring would likely surpass that of the previous Holy Son of Spirit Hall!

Seeing everyone's astonished expressions, Gui Mei, as someone in the know, could not help but smile smugly as he truthfully reported, "Your Holiness, the Holy Son's first soul ring is nine hundred years old, obtained from a top-tier soul beast, the Swordspine Demon Tiger."

"His second soul ring is two thousand seven hundred years old, obtained from a top-tier mutated soul beast, the Bloodshadow Mantis."

Although he had truthfully revealed the soul ring information, Gui Mei had followed Su Qi's request and kept the External Left Palm Bone secret.

After all, leaving this Holy Son with a trump card and allowing him to astonish everyone later was also a good way to raise his prestige.

After hearing the report, Bibi Dong said seriously, "Ghost Elder, are you certain you are not making a false report? A Nine-Hundred-Year First Soul Ring and a second soul ring over two thousand years old—Su Qi absorbed soul rings beyond his level twice. Does he truly possess such ability?"

"Your Holiness, have you forgotten? The Holy Son is no ordinary person. He possesses Innate Level-Twenty Full Soul Power and the protection of a God-Grade Spirit. Naturally, his abilities surpass those of ordinary Soul Masters."

At this point, having obtained Su Qi's permission, Gui Mei truthfully reported, "Of course, aside from the Holy Son's exceptional innate conditions, he also relied on a supreme treasure that gave him the confidence to absorb soul rings beyond his level twice. That treasure is Whale Gel."

"Whale Gel?" Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Hu Liena all revealed strange looks in their eyes.

Gui Mei nodded. "That's right, Whale Gel. Consuming it in large quantities provides nourishing effects far beyond top-grade medicinal baths and spiritual medicines. It can comprehensively strengthen the body's muscles, bones, and meridians, increasing their tolerance. It is a supreme treasure for Soul Masters seeking to absorb soul rings beyond their level."

"This discovery was not recorded in any ancient texts. The Holy Son learned of it through divine sound guidance. Only after he personally took the risk and confirmed that Whale Gel truly possessed miraculous effects did he allow this subordinate to report it."

The moment his words fell, the main hall sank into silence once again.

Bibi Dong's violet eyes flickered, and a trace of embarrassment flashed through their depths.

What did it mean to be a Holy Son or Holy Maiden?

It was not merely possessing talent unmatched in one's generation, but also blazing a path forward and benefiting all of Spirit Hall.

Su Qi had reported a heaven-defying cultivation resource like Whale Gel to Spirit Hall. Such a contribution was more than enough to merit the position of Holy Son. The title suited him in every way.

By contrast, as the former Holy Maiden, not only had she consumed all kinds of cultivation resources from Spirit Hall without feeling grateful, but she had even planned to betray Spirit Hall and elope with her former lover, Yu Xiaogang.

Now, she had even begun to entertain thoughts of destroying Spirit Hall.

Compared to Su Qi, she and he were truly two extremes!

At that thought, the embarrassment in Bibi Dong's eyes was replaced by hatred.

Even if Spirit Hall had shown her kindness, the vile acts committed against her by the former Pope, Qian Xunji, were unforgivable.

Right or wrong, she would destroy Spirit Hall in the future!

And the stronger Su Qi became, the higher her chances of successfully destroying Spirit Hall would be after drawing him to her side!

With that thought settled, Bibi Dong looked at Su Qi with great satisfaction. Calculation lurked in her beautiful eyes as she rose from her papal throne, her imposing voice resounding throughout the hall.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, the time should be about right, shouldn't it?"

"Announce it throughout the city. Tomorrow, we will hold the Holy Son's Enfeoffment Ceremony and formally establish Su Qi's honored position as Holy Son."

Yue Guan bowed and answered, "By your command!"

...The night passed in an instant.

The next day, Spirit City was blessed with clear skies and radiant clouds.

Outside the Papal Palace, a lofty platform stood tall, red carpets covered the ground, ceremonial guards lined the area, and the atmosphere was solemn and grand.

All the elders, deacons, and disciples of Spirit Hall had gathered, their gazes focused on the high platform.

The Enfeoffment Ceremony was personally presided over by Yue Guan.

Dressed in white, he carried himself elegantly, his clear voice spreading across the entire plaza.

"Today, on this auspicious day, Spirit Hall shall hold the Holy Son's Enfeoffment Ceremony!"

"Innate Level-Twenty Full Soul Power, bearer of a God-Grade Spirit, breaker of the continent's ironclad cultivation laws, creator of an unprecedented miracle since ancient times—Su Qi!"

Each word of praise rang out with force.

Under the gaze of countless people, Bibi Dong, dressed in luxurious papal ceremonial robes, slowly stepped forward.

At her side, Su Qi wore the ceremonial robes of the Holy Son. Tall and straight, handsome in appearance, he advanced steadily at her side.

Standing upon the high platform, he looked down upon the countless citizens of Spirit City below, his spirits soaring.

From this day onward, Spirit Hall's new Holy Son was formally crowned and named!

Just as Su Qi underwent his Enfeoffment Ceremony, far away in the God Realm, within the Asura Temple—

The Shura God sat upon his divine throne, observing the Mortal Realm below through a Divine Mirror.

Within the mirror was Su Qi, standing upon the high platform and receiving the worship of the masses.

"A Nine-Hundred-Year First Soul Ring and a two-thousand-year second soul ring, both of top-tier quality or higher, along with two instances of absorbing soul rings beyond his level."

"Not bad. More than half of the Asura First Trial has already been completed. This has exceeded my expectations!"

"Boy, I hope you give me even more surprises next. That way, when I release the Divine Trial rewards, I can give you even more surprises in return."

Looking at Su Qi's current youthful appearance, the Shura God was greatly satisfied.

Not only had he reached Level-Twenty-Nine soul power at the age of six, but he had also obtained an exceptional External Soul Bone.

Even Tang Chen back then had not been one-tenth as impressive as Su Qi was now.

Most importantly, Tang Chen had needed to reach the Asura Eighth Trial before qualifying to condense the Asura Demon Sword, a process that was immensely difficult and took far too long.

But Su Qi only needed to cultivate his Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul to Level Seventy. Once he obtained his Martial Soul Avatar, he could condense the Asura Demon Sword Core. He would not need to rely on the Divine Trial at all, which would undoubtedly greatly shorten the time needed for the inheritance.

This Innate Shura Sacred Body truly was convenient!

Since there was no need for him to condense the Asura Demon Sword, Su Qi's Asura Eighth Trial could be set as a trial related to the Golden Dragon King.

Only by gaining power sufficient to contend against the Golden Dragon King could this new Shura God truly shoulder the burden and live up to the prestige of my divine position!

At that thought, excitement appeared in the Shura God's eyes.

In the past, whenever he selected an inheritor, he would have thanked the heavens if he could simply pass on his divine position.

Now, he could even consider handing over the responsibility of suppressing the Golden Dragon King Seal as well.

This showed just how promising Su Qi was as a future Shura God.

"This boy must not suffer any grievances in Spirit Hall that could affect his cultivation. Spirit Hall seems to be the organization the Angel God uses to gather faith in the Mortal Realm."

Muttering to himself, a ruthless glint flashed through the Shura God's blood-red eyes. "It seems it is time to pay a visit to the Angel God Temple, lest those people in Spirit Hall below fail to distinguish who is truly superior."

Just as the Shura God carried the Asura Demon Sword to visit the Angel God—

Elsewhere, within the Sea God Hall, Sea God Poseidon had stared at the azure Divine Mirror with a troubled expression for a long time.

Only when the scene in the Divine Mirror changed did the Sea God brighten with delight, overjoyed beyond measure.

More than three months had passed in the Mortal Realm. Tang San had long since entered Nuoding Academy, taken Yu Xiaogang as his teacher, and embarked upon the path of Soul Master cultivation.

What delighted the Sea God was that Yu Xiaogang had actually encouraged Tang San to cultivate poison attributes.

The Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul was best suited for the path of life.

Moreover, Tang San's Blue Silver Grass possessed the bloodline of the Blue Silver Emperor.

If he focused on developing along the path of life, he would very likely catch the eye of the Goddess of Life in the future.

Yet now, Tang San had added a poison-attribute soul ring to his Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Even if the Goddess of Life wished to relinquish her divine position in the future, she would not choose Tang San as her inheritor.

From this perspective, Yu Xiaogang had undoubtedly helped him alter Tang San's fate of becoming the God of Life.

And the God Realm had no right to interfere when mortals changed the fates of other mortals.

Looking at Tang San in the Divine Mirror, who had already absorbed the Datura Snake soul ring and successfully advanced to become a One-Ring Soul Master, the Sea God was filled with delight.

He did not care if Yu Xiaogang ruined Tang San's Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Because if Tang San inherited the Sea God's divine position in the future, he would inevitably use the Sea God's Trident, the Sea God's divine artifact, as his primary weapon.

At that time, he could teach Tang San the Thirteen Golden Trident Forms, which would still grant him considerable combat strength.

Therefore, what mattered most now was ensuring that he did not violate divine rules or provoke other Deities while turning Tang San into his inheritor.

Tang San was one of the few possessors of twin Martial Souls on Douluo Continent. His chances of breaking through Level One Hundred and becoming a god were far greater than those of current water-attribute Soul Masters or sea Soul Masters.

If he wished to pass on his divine position as soon as possible, he could only keep a close eye on Tang San!

"Yu Xiaogang, I hope you give me more surprises next. Once you turn Tang San's fate into a haze of uncertainty, I will seize the opportunity to act. Then this matter will be settled."

Muttering to himself, the Sea God shifted the scene in the azure Divine Mirror to Heaven Dou Palace.

Within the heavily guarded grounds of Heaven Dou Palace, his inheritance token, the Heart of the Sea, was protected by a large force of soldiers.

It seemed he would need to wait for the right opportunity before delivering it to Tang San.

At that moment, influenced by the Heart of the Sea, the scene in the azure Divine Mirror suddenly shifted to the crown prince's residence.

After finishing the soul beast hunt in the Star Dou Great Forest, Qian Renxue entered the crown prince's residence through a secret passage.

Along the way, she used the soul bone left behind by the Angel God to disguise herself as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. This scene was captured by the Divine Mirror.

"So she is the Angel God's inheritor." The Sea God suddenly understood. "It seems that aside from me and Shura, quite a few Deities in the God Realm are also selecting inheritors on Douluo Continent!"
