Great Enshrined, Can You Really Summon Souls?

Qian Daoliu was stunned. He looked at the cenotaph and portrait beneath the Angel God Statue, then at Bai Ranmo, who stood there unharmed, his Soul Power clearly fluctuating as normal. Qian Daoliu fell silent.

Tianyue stared at Qian Daoliu in shock. "Whoa, Grandpa, you really can summon souls?!"

Qian Daoliu: "..."

Hadn't his father said back then that this was just a way to offer comfort and guidance? He had never said it actually worked!

The other Consecrations looked just as horrified. Could the Great Enshrined really summon souls?!

The Consecrations shook their heads and came back to their senses. Bai Ranmo had unmistakable Soul Power fluctuations, and the level 96 Titled Douluo behind him was real too!

"Who are you? How dare you barge into the Worship Hall!" Golden Crocodile Douluo demanded.

Bai Cangyue said nothing, while Bai Ranmo laughed. "Come on, don't look at me like that. Dark Shadow and I are good buddies!"

"Ranmo, what happened?" Qian Daoliu appeared before Bai Ranmo in an instant, anxious to check the condition of his disciple, who had seemingly returned from the dead.

"What are you doing, Old Man?" Bai Ranmo asked warily, activating Limitless. "Trying to hit me again?"

Qian Daoliu was speechless for a moment. Then he sensed Bai Ranmo's Soul Power Level. Confusion flashed across his face before turning to anger!

"Ranmo, what happened to your Soul Power Level? How did you reach level 29? Did someone trick you into using a technique that burns through your lifespan and future potential?" Qian Daoliu asked urgently. He then released the Soul Pressure of a level 99 Limit Douluo, pinning Bai Cangyue, a Titled Douluo, in place.

"Wait, wait, wait! Old Man, don't say anything yet. Let me explain everything first!" Seeing that Qian Daoliu looked ready to kill the Titled Douluo he had gone to so much trouble to draw, Bai Ranmo hurriedly waved his hands.

Bai Ranmo glanced at the younger people present. The Consecrations exchanged knowing looks and ushered everyone out. Sun Chuantao was the only junior who remained.

Bai Ranmo cleared his throat and began to explain.

"It was a dark and stormy day, so black I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. I was about to ask someone to bring me some dessert when Shadow Douluo Bai Cangyue suddenly kidnapped me. By the time I knew what was happening, I was in a hall that looked a lot like the Angel Temple. There was a statue inside, similar to the Angel God Statue, and a Limit Douluo as strong as you, Old Man. He said I had the potential to become a god, then gave me an Immortal Herb. With his help, I absorbed a thousand-year Second Soul Ring, and my Soul Power Level shot straight up to 29. He said he'd help me begin a Divine Trial once I became a Soul Saint. Then he had Dark Shadow bring me back and ordered Shadow Douluo to stay by my side and protect me."

Bai Ranmo told them the story he had made up. It had no obvious holes. There had been no powerful expert guarding him, after all. This was Spirit City—surely the Great Enshrined's disciple couldn't be harmed by another faction here? Besides, Bai Ranmo's Limitless was so absurd that even a Limit Douluo couldn't break through it directly.

Everyone listened in a daze.

Bai Ranmo then deactivated Limitless of his own accord and let Qian Daoliu examine him.

Qian Daoliu carefully probed Bai Ranmo's body with Soul Power. Not only did he find nothing wrong, all seven channels and eight meridians had been opened, and Bai Ranmo's talent had risen to a new level.

Joy surged through him. He now believed Bai Ranmo's account completely. Both the improvement in Bai Ranmo's talent and the presence of this level 96 Titled Douluo proved he was telling the truth.

"Excellent! My disciple has the potential to become a god!" Overjoyed, Qian Daoliu pulled Bai Ranmo close and addressed everyone present. "None of you are to speak of what happened today!"

"We understand."

The Consecrations cupped their fists. Every one of them was wholly loyal to the Angel God, and they were happy for both the Great Enshrined and Bai Ranmo. They readily agreed.

"From this day forward, Bai Ranmo is the Worship Hall Saint Son!" Qian Daoliu waved a hand, and a token engraved with an angel appeared in his palm. "Ranmo, take this. It gives you authority to command Platinum Bishops and places you on equal standing with Spirit Hall Elders."

Bai Ranmo dropped his flippant manner. Wearing a solemn expression, he accepted the Angel Token.

He looked around at everyone, then grinned, his carefree air returning. "Old Man, since you've got such a good eye for talent, I'll give you these!"

With that, Bai Ranmo took several Immortal Herbs out of a Storage Soul Tool Qian Daoliu had given him earlier.

"These Immortal Herbs can raise your level and improve your talent. It took a lot of talking to get them from that old Limit Douluo: an Earth Dragon Golden Melon, a Bright Sunflower, an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, and a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower."

Bai Ranmo brought out the four Immortal Herbs, and their rich fragrance filled the entire Worship Hall.

Everyone leaned in for a closer look. Remembering what Bai Ranmo had said, even the Consecrations could not hide the longing on their faces.

"Old Man, you decide who gets what. But I'm saving this Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid for Chuantao," Bai Ranmo said, looking at Sun Chuantao.

Sun Chuantao looked grateful, but he shook his head. "You don't need to give it to me, Big Brother. I've already eaten one."

"What! You have?" This time, Bai Ranmo was genuinely shocked.

A little embarrassed, Sun Chuantao nodded and explained how he had accidentally eaten a blackened herb while hunting his First Soul Ring.

It had not only raised his Soul Power Level. His Martial Soul, the Ring Great Blade, had also gained the Death Attribute.

Bai Ranmo froze. So that was how Sun Chuantao, who was the same age as him, had reached level 48 by the Soul Master Tournament in the original story—he had eaten an Immortal Herb long ago!

What the hell kind of luck was that?!

He had happened to run into a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, happened to find an Immortal Herb, and happened to find one with an aura of death that had kept other Soul Beasts from eating it.

Bai Ranmo was at a loss for words. In the end, he simply gave Sun Chuantao a thumbs-up. Incredible!

Seeing Qian Daoliu deep in thought, Bai Ranmo spoke up. "The Earth Dragon Golden Melon is best suited to Second Old Man's Martial Soul..."

"Second Brother." After a moment's thought, Qian Daoliu handed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Thank you, Big Brother." Golden Crocodile Douluo looked excited. If he ate the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, he might well break through to Limit Douluo.

"The Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower suits the Fourth Consecration's Blazing Lion."

"The Bright Sunflower suits your Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, Old Man."

"The Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid is better suited to a Soul Master with a gentle-natured Martial Soul."

Qian Daoliu kept the Bright Sunflower but showed no intention of taking it immediately. He clearly meant to save it for Qian Renxue. His path as a Soul Master had already reached its end, and eating an Immortal Herb would not make him a god. Better to use it to build a foundation for Xue'er.
