Following the end of the awakening phenomenon, Qian Zong'er returned to the Awakening Hall, and the rest of the people gradually recovered from their shock and arrived at the Awakening Hall one after another.
Qian Zong'er looked at the six figures walking in, one of whom was Qian Xichen. It was his first time seeing this grandfather of his; the original work had never mentioned this old man, but after all, it was also forty-six years ago now, and Qian Daoliu was still the Pope, so it was not too strange for this old man to be alive.
Next to him were five figures, who were the remaining five Pontiff Elders excluding the Fifth Offering, Golden Crocodile Douluo. They were the Second Worship, Level Ninety-Eight Imperial Spear Douluo—Xinghe; the Third Offering, Level Ninety-Seven Divine Flute Douluo—Moyun; the Fourth Offering, Level Ninety-Seven Berserk Rhino Douluo—Chu Mingshan; the Sixth Offering, Level Ninety-Six Gale Dragon Douluo—Feng Fuyao; and the Seventh Offering, Level Ninety-Six Sun and Moon Douluo—Golden Wheel.
They were all high-tier combat forces of Spirit Hall, all with cultivation levels above Super Douluo, and the youngest was around a hundred years old.
"Greetings, Grandfather; greetings, esteemed Pontiff Elders," Qian Zong'er saluted with cupped hands.
Qian Xichen stepped forward, arrived in front of Qian Zong'er, slowly squatted down, and said in a gentle tone,
"Zong'er, how are you feeling right now?"
"Grandfather, I'm doing great."
"Was that your martial soul just now? Does it have a name?"
Qian Zong'er nodded. "Yes, Grandfather. That golden humanoid martial soul is called Judgment Deity, and the other is called the Divine Throne of Eternity and Creation."
"It really is a twin martial soul..." Hearing this, Qian Xichen sighed inwardly at his grandson's extraordinary talent, while inevitably feeling a bit worried. Owners of twin martial souls were undoubtedly a once-in-a-century or even once-in-a-millennium peerless genius, but how to cultivate them was a huge problem.
Although they were currently a batch of peak powerhouses on the continent, their research on twin martial souls was not deep, because there really were no objects available to study. The last person who awakened twin martial souls blew himself up before he even had time to be studied.
Therefore, Qian Xichen was both joyful and worried. Seeing Qian Xichen like this, Second Worship Xinghe naturally understood the other's concerns. If there truly was no way to cultivate the twin martial souls, then at worst, he would just not cultivate the second martial soul for his entire life. Anyway, taking either of the two martial souls out individually was enough to suppress an era.
"Big Brother, let Zong'er awaken his soul power first, shall we?"
With that, Xinghe looked at Azure Luan nearby, and the latter hurriedly took out a soul power detection crystal ball and walked over.
"Young Master, just place your hand on the crystal ball."
Hearing this, Qian Zong'er held out his hand. Qian Daoliu saw it and said, "Judging by the strength of the martial soul Zong'er just awakened, I'm afraid his innate soul power is also at level twenty."
However, the moment Qian Zong'er's palm made contact with the crystal ball, the crystal ball suddenly burst out with an incomparably intense light, illuminating the entire hall, and everyone's hearts immediately received a shock.
"This is, level thirty soul power!"
At this moment, whether it was the elders, the pope, or the seven Pontiff Elders, none of them failed to feel shocked.
Level thirty soul power!
A soul elder from birth!
This meant that Qian Zong'er had surpassed everyone else by several years or even more than a decade of cultivation right from the start!
A genius, a monstrosity, a peerless monstrosity!
"Level thirty... Good, good." Qian Xichen's gaze toward his grandson became increasingly firm, as if he saw the brilliant future of Spirit Hall.
"Hahaha, good! My son Qian Zong'er possesses the bearing of a deity!" Qian Daoliu said with great joy.
That's right, the bearing of a deity, level thirty soul power—I'm afraid even the Angel God and the Sea God of a thousand years ago didn't have such talent!
"Gosh, Little Zong is actually this monstrous, then I..." Qian Xunji looked at Qian Zong'er and couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but then he gave a hehe smile in his heart, "Doesn't that mean I won't have to inherit Spirit Hall? Hahaha..."
With Qian Zong'er's monstrous talent, he was bound to be the undisputed choice to inherit the pope, so wouldn't he be liberated and spared from working like an ox or a horse...
After everyone's joy subsided, Qian Xichen looked at the people in the hall, and then spoke up:
"No one is to reveal that Zong'er awakened twin martial souls and has level-thirty innate soul power today. Tell outsiders that Zong'er awakened a mutated martial soul and has level-twenty innate soul power."
Hearing this, everyone cupped their hands in response and said, "Understood, First Offering."
"Alright, Zong'er, Jier, Pope, follow me to the Worship Hall."
Worship Hall.
The Worship Hall could be said to be the true seat of power in Spirit Hall. The seven Pontiff Elders possessed the power to appoint and dismiss the pope, and it was also the trump card location of Spirit Hall.
At the very front of the Worship Hall stood a huge golden statue. Its appearance was the Six-Winged Angel martial soul of the Qian Family, and it was also the martial soul of the Angel God before she became a deity. Inside the statue resided the will left behind by the Angel God, and it was also the place where the descendants of the Qian Family participated in deity trials.
Qian Xichen was the current spokesperson of the Angel God. Within Spirit Hall, in places illuminated by the angel's radiance, he was a practically invincible existence.
After bowing his head in greeting toward the Angel God Statue, Qian Xichen turned around and said, "Zong'er, come and pay homage to our Qian family ancestor—the Angel God."
Hearing this, Qian Zong'er nodded. Their Qian family was originally the descendants of the Angel God, and this was inherently ancestor worship, so he walked forward, lifted his robes, and prepared to kneel in salute.
However, just as Qian Zong'er's legs bent halfway down, an inexplicable force lifted him up, making him unable to descend even a fraction of an inch. Qian Zong'er looked up in confusion at Qian Xichen beside him, and seeing this, the latter was stunned for a moment before saying with a cheerful smile,
"Zong'er, the Angel God means you don't need to kneel. Just cupping your hands in salute will do."
Hearing this, the Pontiff Elders present, along with Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji, could not help but be shocked: no need to kneel—this was special treatment from the Angel God toward Qian Zong'er, unprecedented in history.
Hearing this, Qian Zong'er could not help thinking in his heart: Yo, this ancestor is actually pretty nice.
Immediately, Qian Zong'er cupped his hands in salute toward the Angel God Statue. "Qian Zong'er, fourteenth-generation disciple of the Qian family, pays respects to ancestor Angel God."
As Qian Zong'er's voice faded, the Angel God Statue emitted a burst of light, and immediately a golden mark flew out, landing between Qian Zong'er's brows. Qian Zong'er felt as if his whole body was bathing in a golden ocean, warm and comfortable.
"Hahaha, the Angel God's blessing! Good, good! For so many years among our Qian family descendants, Zong'er, you are the first person to obtain this blessing." Qian Xichen nodded in satisfaction.
Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji also looked at Qian Zong'er with envy. They hadn't received any blessings back then, which showed just how monstrous Qian Zong'er's talent was.
Then, Qian Xichen looked at Qian Zong'er and said, "Zong'er, you have twin martial souls and are also the first genius in all of history with level thirty soul power. Your cultivation will certainly advance by leaps and bounds, and reaching a peerless Douluo is only a matter of time; even becoming a deity is not impossible."
Saying this, Qian Xichen sighed,
"You are intelligent, and Grandfather won't hide it from you. Although twin martial souls are a uniquely endowed talent, we currently do not have a complete cultivation method. Cultivating rashly could very well cause harm to yourself. Therefore, Grandfather hopes you temporarily do not cultivate both martial souls at the same time. Wait until your strength is formidable before exploring and cultivating them."
Hearing Qian Xichen's words, Qian Daoliu and the various Pontiff Elders could not help but wear mournful expressions. The materials and research they currently had on twin martial souls were simply too scarce; this wasn't something that could be resolved just by having a high cultivation level.
Qian Zong'er also understood Qian Xichen's meaning, but he himself knew how to cultivate twin martial souls. However, it was better not to tell everyone just yet.
"Grandfather, I understand. I will listen to you."
