Innate Level Thirty, Angel God's Blessing

As the awakening phenomenon came to an end, Qian Xunzong returned to the Awakening Hall. The others gradually recovered from their shock and entered the hall one after another.

Qian Xunzong looked at the six figures who entered. One of them was Qian Xichen. This was his first time meeting his grandfather. The original story had never mentioned this old man, but considering it was now forty-six years earlier and Qian Daoliu was still the Pope, it was not strange for him to be alive.

The five figures beside him were the remaining five great Offerings, excluding the Fifth Offering, Golden Crocodile Douluo. They were the Second Worship, the Rank 98 Imperial Spear Douluo—Xinghe; the Third Offering, the Rank 97 Divine Flute Douluo—Moyun; the Fourth Offering, the Rank 97 Berserk Rhino Douluo—Chu Mingshan; the Sixth Offering, the Rank 96 Gale Dragon Douluo—Feng Fuyao; and the Seventh Offering, the Rank 96 Sun and Moon Douluo—Golden Wheel.

They were all high-level combat forces of Spirit Hall, every one of them a Super Douluo or above. Even the youngest was around a hundred years old.

"Greetings, Grandfather. Greetings, honored Offering Grandfathers." Qian Xunzong clasped his hands in salute.

Qian Xichen stepped forward and slowly crouched before Qian Xunzong, his tone gentle.

"Zong'er, how do you feel now?"

"Grandfather, I feel quite well."

"Was that your Martial Soul just now? Does it have a name?"

Qian Xunzong nodded. "Yes, Grandfather. That golden humanoid Martial Soul is called Judgment Deity, and the other is called the Eternal and Creation God-Seal Throne."

"So it truly is Twin Martial Souls..." Upon hearing this, Qian Xichen marveled at his grandson's extraordinary talent, but he could not help feeling worried as well. While those with Twin Martial Souls were peerless geniuses rarely seen even once in a hundred or thousand years, how to cultivate them was a major problem.

Although they were among the continent's strongest experts, their research into Twin Martial Souls was limited. There simply had been no subjects to study. The last person to awaken Twin Martial Souls had blown himself up before anyone could study him.

Thus, Qian Xichen felt both joy and worry. Seeing this, the Second Worship, Xinghe, naturally understood his concerns. If there truly was no way to cultivate Twin Martial Souls, then Qian Xunzong could simply never cultivate his second Martial Soul. Either one of the two Martial Souls alone would be enough to suppress an entire era.

"Big Brother, why not let Zong'er awaken his Soul Power first?"

As he spoke, Xinghe looked toward Azure Luan at the side. Upon hearing this, Azure Luan hurriedly took out a Soul Power testing crystal ball and walked over.

"Young Master, simply place your hand on the crystal ball."

Hearing this, Qian Xunzong extended his hand. Qian Daoliu said, "Judging by the strength of Zong'er's awakened Martial Souls just now, he is likely to possess Innate Level Twenty Soul Power."

However, the instant Qian Xunzong's palm touched the crystal ball, it abruptly erupted with an incomparably intense radiance that illuminated the entire hall. Everyone's hearts jolted.

"This is... Innate Level Thirty Soul Power!!"

At that moment, whether elders, the Pope, or the seven great Offerings, none of them could hide their shock.

Innate Level Thirty Soul Power!

An Innate Soul Elder!

It meant that Qian Xunzong had started several years, perhaps even more than a decade, ahead of everyone else in cultivation!

A genius, a monster, an absolute monster!

"Level thirty... Good, wonderful." Qian Xichen's gaze upon his grandson grew increasingly resolute, as though he had seen Spirit Hall's glorious future.

"Hahaha, wonderful! My son Qian Xunzong possesses the bearing of a god!" Qian Daoliu exclaimed joyfully.

Indeed, the bearing of a god. With Innate Level Thirty Soul Power, even the Angel God and Sea God from a thousand years ago likely had not possessed such talent!

"Damn, Little Zong is actually this monstrous? Then I..." Qian Xunji stared blankly at Qian Xunzong, but then he chuckled inwardly. Doesn't that mean I won't have to inherit Spirit Hall? Hahaha...

With talent as monstrous as Qian Xunzong's, he was surely the best possible candidate to inherit the position of Pope. Would that not free him from being worked like a beast of burden...

After everyone's excitement subsided, Qian Xichen glanced around the hall and spoke.

"Regarding Zong'er's awakening of Twin Martial Souls and his Innate Soul Power today, no one is permitted to reveal a word. Tell the outside world only that Zong'er awakened a mutated Martial Soul and possesses Innate Level Twenty Soul Power."

Hearing this, everyone clasped their hands and replied, "Yes, First Offering."

"Alright. Zong'er, Ji'er, Pope, come with me to the Worship Hall."

Worship Hall.

The Worship Hall could be said to be where Spirit Hall's true authority lay. The seven great Offerings possessed the power to appoint or dismiss the Pope, and they were also Spirit Hall's trump card.

At the forefront of the Worship Hall stood an enormous golden statue. Its appearance was that of the Qian Family's Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, as well as the Martial Soul the Angel God had possessed before becoming a god. Within the statue remained the Angel God's will, and it was also where the Qian Family's descendants underwent divine examinations.

Qian Xichen was the Angel God's current representative. Within Spirit Hall, wherever the light of angels shone, he was nearly invincible.

After Qian Xichen nodded in salute to the Angel God Statue, he turned and said, "Zong'er, come and kneel before the ancestor of our Qian Family—the Angel God."

Hearing this, Qian Xunzong nodded. The Qian Family had originally been descendants of the Angel God, so this was simply ancestral worship. He stepped forward, lifted his robes, and prepared to kneel in salute.

However, just as Qian Xunzong bent his knees halfway, an inexplicable force supported him, preventing him from lowering himself even an inch. Qian Xunzong raised his head in confusion and looked at Qian Xichen. The latter was stunned for a moment before saying with a smile,

"Zong'er, the Angel God means that you need not kneel. A clasped-hands salute will suffice."

Upon hearing this, the Offerings present, along with Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji, were shocked. No need to kneel—this was the Angel God's special favor toward Qian Xunzong, unprecedented in history.

Hearing this, Qian Xunzong could not help thinking, Oh, this ancestor is actually pretty nice.

He then clasped his hands toward the Angel God Statue in salute. "Qian Xunzong, fourteenth-generation disciple of the Qian Family, pays respects to Ancestor Angel God."

As soon as Qian Xunzong finished speaking, the Angel God Statue emitted a burst of light. A golden mark then flew out and landed between Qian Xunzong's brows. He felt as if his entire body had been immersed in a golden ocean, warm and comfortable.

"Hahaha, the Angel God's blessing! Wonderful, wonderful! Among the descendants of our Qian Family over all these years, Zong'er, you are the first to receive a blessing." Qian Xichen nodded in satisfaction.

Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji also looked at Qian Xunzong with envy. Neither of them had received a blessing back then, which showed just how monstrous Qian Xunzong's talent was.

Then, Qian Xichen looked at Qian Xunzong and said, "Zong'er, you possess Twin Martial Souls and are the first genius in all history to have Innate Level Thirty Soul Power. Your cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds. Reaching the level of a Limit Douluo is merely a matter of time; even becoming a god is not impossible."

At this point, Qian Xichen sighed.

"You are intelligent, so Grandfather will not hide this from you. Though Twin Martial Souls are a heaven-blessed talent, we currently have no complete method for cultivating them. Cultivating them rashly could very likely harm you. Therefore, Grandfather hopes that you will not cultivate both Martial Souls at the same time for now. Once you have grown stronger, you may explore how to cultivate them."

Upon hearing Qian Xichen's words, Qian Daoliu and the Offerings could not help revealing sorrowful expressions. They truly had far too little information and research regarding Twin Martial Souls. This was not something that high cultivation alone could solve.

Qian Xunzong understood Qian Xichen's meaning, but he himself knew how to cultivate Twin Martial Souls. Still, there was no need to tell everyone yet.

"Grandfather, I understand. I'll listen to you."
