Chapter 2619 of the Douluo Calendar.
Spirit City.
In the central area of the city, there was a towering mountain rising steeply from the ground. Atop the mountain stood an extremely magnificent complex of buildings-that was Spirit Hall.
At the summit, the Worship Hall.
Deep within the grand hall, an old man with long golden hair, handsome features, and the apparent age of only thirty or forty sat cross-legged in front of a lifelike statue of the Six-Winged Angel.
I became Qian Daoliu?
Qian Daoliu on the straw mat slowly woke up, and with the merging of memories, unstoppable excitement appeared on his face.
He was originally a young Taoist priest at a Taoist temple on the Blue Star. Because of some special reasons, he could not practice Taoist Magic, and the old Taoist priest had assigned him to the Library Pavilion.
As time passed, the young Taoist priest eventually became an old Taoist priest, and finally turned into yellow dust. That was the portrayal of his entire life.
Then he transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, and even transmigrated as Qian Daoliu!
That was right, he was that very Qian Daoliu.
The Great Enshrined of Spirit Hall! One of the current three Peerless Douluo in the world, the father of the Secret Chamber Douluo, Bibi Dong's father-in-law, and Qian Renxue's grandfather!
This was the rhythm of invincibility!
In his mind, the memories that originally belonged to Qian Daoliu surged forth rapidly... Feeling name after name flash through his mind in his memories,
the blood in Qian Daoliu's body began to boil.
Fortunately, this old Taoist was sick of reading the books in the Library Pavilion and looked up some webnovels, otherwise I wouldn't even know where I am!
Let this old Taoist take a look first. Immediately, Qian Daoliu felt the state of his body and his eyebrows furrowed slightly.
Glancing at his own hands, Qian Daoliu carefully sensed the power within his body, but... he only felt a sliver of Soul Power, which was fundamentally not what Level 99 should have.
The Soul Power inside his body seemed to have... vanished by a huge amount?
Immediately, Qian Daoliu began to recall the final memories of the original Qian Daoliu...
It turned out that Qian Daoliu, who had been in seclusion attempting a life-or-death breakthrough to comprehend a deity, suddenly lost control of his Soul Power. Immediately following that, he felt a powerful force flood into his body, and after that, he lost consciousness.
That powerful force should have been the reason for his transmigration, but right now...
Qian Daoliu looked at his hands in utter bewilderment and muttered:
"Damn it, could it be that this old Taoist crippled himself by transmigrating?"
"How is this old Taoist supposed to manage things from now on?"
"Spirit Hall has quite a few enemies in this world. The two empires and the Seven Great Sects have no shortage of Titled Douluo."
"If they find out that this old Taoist has fallen, wouldn't they all swarm over and tear me to pieces?"
Right now, if any casual Titled Douluo-no, Spirit Dou... even a Soul Master might not be something he could beat.
Qian Daoliu wore a bitter expression, thinking to himself that even if his Soul Power was gone, calling out his nine Soul Rings to scare people should still work, right?
Eight black and one red; apart from those with a death wish, probably no one would dare provoke him.
Thinking thus, Qian Daoliu began to sense his Martial Soul in his heart, however...
The Martial Soul only appeared behind him as a bleak phantom, and the eight black and one red Soul Rings orbited around him, but they were also devoid of all light.
Even the very last dregs of Soul Power inside his body were rapidly draining away!
"How am I supposed to handle this? Heavens, are you toying with me?"
These words were roared out in the depths of Qian Daoliu's heart.
What happened to starting out invincible?
It turned out that apart from the identity of Qian Daoliu, nothing else had been left for him.
His original Soul Power within had already reached its peak, and he was only a single step away from stepping out to become a god.
It was just that close!
"So be it, so be it. At least this old Taoist can live for a few more years." Thinking of this, a trace of a smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's face, and he withdrew his Martial Soul.
[Ding!]
Just as Qian Daoliu was prepared to accept a salted-fish life and wait for death, that familiar voice among numerous transmigrators rang out in his mind.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully transmigrated to the Douluo Continent. The Cultivation Rebate System is binding... Binding successful!]
[Generating attribute panel...]
[Host]: Qian Daoliu (dying state)
[Age]: 120 years old
[Identity]: Great Enshrined of Spirit Hall, one of the current three Peerless Douluo in the world...
[Martial Soul]: Six-Winged Angel (dying state, temporarily unavailable)
[Soul Power]: Level 99 (dying state, temporarily unavailable)
[Soul Rings]: Black, black, black, black, black, black, black, black, red! (dying state, temporarily unavailable)
[Bound Object]: None (currently available people for binding: 1)
"..."
Qian Daoliu speechlessly looked at the attribute panel given by the system, which displayed numerous instances of 'dying state, temporarily unavailable'.
It was sheer bitterness!
"I'm ruined, ruined. This old Taoist is truly finished this time."
Qian Daoliu wailed in his heart for a while, then put away his sorrow and posed a question to the system that had just reported in: Little Bro System, give me a detailed introduction. How does this cultivation system work?
[Cultivation rebate. First, the host needs to find a suitable Bound Object. Second, the host trains the cultivation object, and the system will return rewards based on the host's cultivation.]
Perhaps hearing Qian Daoliu call it 'Little Bro System', the system's original mechanical voice added a female tone, but it did not give Qian Daoliu too much of a response.
Qian Daoliu listened to the system's female mechanical voice, his brow slightly furrowed.
So it wasn't a Little Bro System after all!
But listening to the description, it was very much like the cultivation games he used to play in his past life, except this time Qian Daoliu got to play the real thing.
Just as Qian Daoliu was pondering this moment, another system prompt tone rang out:
[Congratulations to the host for successfully triggering the novice task 'Find a Bound Object']
[Task Content]: As the host of the Cultivation Rebate System, you naturally need a cultivation object. After binding, the host can unlock more functions of the system. Hurry up and find a suitable object, host!
[Task Reward]: Novice Gift Pack!
Although Qian Daoliu was speechless that the Novice Gift Pack still required completing a task to get, this novice task was quite friendly, considering that right now he practically had only a name he could use.
My Spirit Hall is so vast, and there are still plenty of geniuses. Finding someone with good talent and taking them as a disciple will do.
[Precautions]: The higher the aptitude of the Bound Object, the better the system rebate rewards the host can obtain!
Hearing the prompt, Qian Daoliu froze.
The moment he thought about how he had almost casually used up the Bound Object earlier, he felt a lingering fear.
Fortunately, though, he had the system...
Afterward, Qian Daoliu began to carefully recall the timeline.
"Holy shit! Did this old Taoist transmigrate this early?" Qian Daoliu exclaimed.
Earlier, Qian Daoliu was only paying attention to why he had become a 'cripple', and only now did he discover the timeline he was in: his good son was still alive, and even 'he' had only finished his battle with Tang Chen in the Clear Sky Sect a short while ago.
"That means I'm more than a dozen years earlier than Tang San?"
"Heh heh heh! Little San! You can't blame me for this."
Qian Daoliu: Since I transmigrated so early, those fortuitous encounters are mine.
This old man will let you see a different Spirit Hall.
Just as Qian Daoliu was still thinking, a robust shout rang out.
"Big Brother, something's wrong! There's a problem at the Library Pavilion."
