The southern edge of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Lin Qian put away the panel and stood up again.
After leaving the Far North, he had hurried all the way back to Spirit Hall, only to learn that Qian Renxue had already left and headed north to go undercover.
There were still seven days left before Bibi Dong's one-month deadline. It was not that he had returned late. The only reasonable explanation was that Qian Renxue had left in a huff, unwilling to stay there a moment longer.
In fact, she had set out as soon as she accepted the undercover mission. When Lin Qian returned, he happened to encounter the messenger she had sent with news: she had successfully replaced the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, and had even staged an accident to save Xue Ye, smoothly securing her appointment as Crown Prince.
Of course, she had not forgotten her "fiancé," either. Along with the message, she had sent identity papers so that Lin Qian could infiltrate without obstruction.
Since he was late either way, he was in no hurry to travel after receiving the identity papers. Instead, he toured the mountains and rivers from south to north, surveying the Heaven Dou Empire's terrain.
Seven days later, Bibi Dong's one-month deadline arrived, and he finally reached Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Before entering the city, he used his own extraordinary Spiritual Power, combined with that bestowed by Tian Meng, to simulate a panel summarizing his abilities, bringing it up from time to time to review them.
During this period, Tian Meng had used his own origin power to help the Snow Empress break through to seven hundred thousand years and Xiao Bai to three hundred thousand years. The Ice Empress had also condensed an additional left arm bone.
That was not all.
The plan to infiltrate Heaven Dou was extremely secret. He certainly could not use his Body Martial Soul, which was unique across the entire continent.
As it happened, his trip to the Far North had successfully produced a Second Martial Soul. Using the Ice Empress and Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Simulation skills to disguise himself, he transformed into a level forty-one ice-type assault Battle Soul Master with an Ice Jade Scorpion Martial Soul.
Although this was not ten thousand years in the future, Spirit Hall still existed, and its library held quite a bit of information about the Far North. Even if it was incomplete, figures such as the Three Great Heavenly Kings of the Far North were still recorded. Using the name Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion would inevitably draw suspicion.
His age, meanwhile, remained unchanged. After all, Soul Masters could determine age by feeling someone's bones. It was better not to disguise anything that could be checked by touch. Besides, he did not want to be too old anyway.
Inside Heaven Dou City.
He was tall, around 1.8 meters, with handsome, dashing looks, suave charm, and an imposing bearing. His eyes were exceptionally clear, as though they could reflect everything in the universe.
His whole appearance was crisp and spirited, carrying a hint of icy chill and an even greater air of otherworldliness. His eyes had double pupils, ice-blue interwoven with inky black, an exceedingly unusual sight.
If someone had transmigrated into Douluo II, they would certainly have exclaimed, "Huo Yuhao!"
His short, aqua-blue hair was neat and clean-cut. As he walked down the street, he drew particular attention, and lovestruck girls cast delighted looks his way.
"He's so handsome!"
"Look at me!"
"Handsome, please tell us your name!"
Facing all sorts of looks from men and women, young and old, the youth remained unmoved. He continued walking calmly down the street, neither puffed up with pride nor flustered.
With all his advantages combined, by the time he reached the entrance to his destination, a large crowd was following behind him.
Just as everyone was speculating, the youth knocked on the gate and introduced himself. "My name is Li Si. I'm a distant nephew of your Lord Li Yan, and I'd like to see him."
By sheer coincidence, the person who opened the gate was the master of the residence himself. Once he finished speaking, Li Yan excitedly took his hand. "Si, it really is you! Come in, let's talk!"
Bang!
The gate shut, cutting off the gawking crowd's view entirely.
Inside the gate.
Only after releasing a mental domain to seal off the area did Lin Qian drop his disguise and return to his First Martial Soul, taking on his white-haired, gray-eyed appearance again.
Although the quality of the Soul Rings from Tian Meng and the others was certainly high, as an immortal cultivator and a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, his own intrinsic quality was even more powerful. He would not be influenced by other races and undergo changes to his appearance after absorbing Soul Rings.
This was also the fundamental difference between him, a visitor from another world, and the living beings of the Douluo Continent. I am who I am, a firework unlike any other!
"Your Highness the Holy Son, this humble servant has been awaiting you for quite some time. When would you permit me to arrange an introduction for you?"
The moment the gate closed, Li Yan, who had just been affectionately calling him his dear nephew, immediately kept his distance and bowed respectfully to him.
Spirit Hall's infiltration had not happened overnight. Long before Qian Renxue arrived, it had already planted many undercover agents, and this man was one of them.
Unlike the others, however, Li Yan had done the best for himself. He had risen to Minister of Internal Affairs, and when Qian Renxue secretly disposed of Xue Qinghe, he had used the conveniences of his position to contribute a great deal.
He was also a Soul Master, though his level was not high. He only had the cultivation of a three-ring Soul Elder.
They had communicated beforehand, so the backstory Lin Qian received was that he was Li Yan's distant nephew through a cousin, born and raised on the Heaven Dou Empire's northern frontier. Recently, a beast tide from the Far North had destroyed his village. With nowhere left to turn, he had been forced to head south in search of relatives and try his luck.
Because he had grown up in the Far North, as well as inherited traits from his parents, his Martial Soul was the rare Ice Jade Scorpion, a top-tier ice-type Martial Soul.
A twelve-year-old Four-Ring Soul Ancestor, with a rare ice-type Beast Martial Soul of such quality, would be introduced by the Minister of Internal Affairs to Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, and only then meet Xue Ye.
The planned sequence was entirely reasonable, and outsiders presumably would find no fault with it. Still, to be cautious, Lin Qian considered it and did not agree.
"I've only just arrived in Heaven Dou City. I don't know the people or the place, and I haven't shown my strength yet. Why would Xue Ye believe me? In any case, Holy Maiden Qian Renxue has already completed her mission. There's no need for us to rush. Let's build up my reputation first."
Upon reflection, Li Yan agreed that this made sense. After all, there were several steps in between. Moreover, according to the information Qian Renxue had sent from the palace, Xue Ye's younger brother, the imperial prince Xue Xing, seemed rather prejudiced against him. Unless necessary, it was better not to be too ostentatious.
With the preliminary plan settled, Lin Qian gave him a few more instructions, then headed out again. His destination-
The Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena!
