Tang Chen Came to Heaven Dou City

Genius Soul Masters like Qian Xunling, gifted with extraordinary talent and a Martial Soul capable of accepting every attribute, were rare.

Every God King wanted Qian Xunling as an heir.

Seeing how conflicted they were, with none of them willing to tear through that paper window and speak plainly, Qian Xunling voiced some of the doubts in his heart. "It looks like you can't settle this matter right away either. So I want to ask: is using the Three Realms Judgment Sword really the only way to destroy the Golden Dragon King?"

His greatest concern was whether his Divine Aspect Martial Soul would still be his own if he let it take in too much of their divine power.

Wouldn't he become a tool manipulated by them instead? Although the possibility was slim, Qian Xunling was still somewhat worried.

The God King of Goodness smiled, though her expression grew a little desolate. "Qian Xunling, the five of us have actually looked into many solutions. Of course there are other ways, but it comes down to weighing the advantages and disadvantages.

"We could seal the Golden Dragon King in the Divine Forbidden Land forever and wear away at its divine soul and will, but the turbulent currents of space and time won't give us the time. We once planned to throw the Golden Dragon King into those currents, but it does have the strength of the God King Realm, so that might not eliminate it.

"Considering all these factors, the plan we have for you now is the safer one."

To put it bluntly, none of the five dared to go all out, and each was making their own calculations.

Qian Xunling opened his mouth, wanting to ask again whether their injecting divine power into his Martial Soul would let them control him.

But when the words reached his lips, Qian Xunling immediately came to his senses and stared at the five of them. That was a nail already hammered into the board.

They wanted him as an heir and needed someone to use the Three Realms Judgment Sword, yet they didn't want anyone standing on equal footing with them. The outcome was hardly difficult to guess.

"Damn it." Qian Xunling felt somewhat aggrieved.

"Do you have any more questions?" The Asura God narrowed his eyes, studying Qian Xunling's expression, the corners of his mouth rising almost imperceptibly. "As long as we know the answers, we can give them to you."

"Shut up. I don't want to hear you talk," Qian Xunling shot back.

"What!?" The Asura God snorted coldly, his divine power spilling out. He was clearly angry.

The Evil God King chuckled. "Asura, don't take it so personally. Haven't we all figured this kid's personality out? The more you sneer at him, the colder and more impatient he gets with you."

"And you, shut up too." Qian Xunling turned his gaze to Evil. Hearing that, Evil jumped to his feet with a bang and said angrily, "Kid, you dare tell me to shut up?"

Destruction sneered at the pair's behavior.

That only made Asura and Evil even more displeased.

The goddesses Life and Kindness both shook their heads in speechless exasperation and gently soothed them, preventing an even bigger farce.

The Goddess of Kindness looked at Qian Xunling and asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"

Qian Xunling asked, "When are you going to inject divine power into my Martial Soul?"

"There's no need to worry about that now. Our divine power is too overbearing, and we can't forcibly raise your strength, so we'll wait until you've cultivated to the level of a Limit Douluo before injecting it into your Martial Soul," the Goddess of Kindness replied.

Qian Xunling nodded. "All right. At least you have a little conscience."

"Heh." The corners of the Goddess of Kindness's mouth twitched.

"Send me back," Qian Xunling urged.

"How many Limit Douluo spend their entire lives just hoping to meet us once? You really don't know what's good for you, kid," Asura grumbled.

Qian Xunling waved a hand and shrugged. "Can't be helped. What can I say? I've got the strength."

The five God Kings gnashed their teeth in resentment, but none of them acted on it. They slowly sent Qian Xunling back to his body.

But as he returned, a golden light came back with him to his body: the phantom of the Angel God.

Qian Xunling was already nursing a bellyful of anger. He hadn't expected this ancestor of his to follow him, and he snapped, "Why did you come along? They said the punishment for breaking the God Realm Committee's rules is no small matter."

The Angel God looked at Qian Xunling with icy eyes and asked, "What did they tell you?"

"Go ask them yourself," Qian Xunling replied.

"I'm the Angel God and your ancestor. You should show me a better attitude." The Angel God's expression was serious.

Qian Xunling was angered. He strode up to the Angel God's phantom and brought his face close to hers, their noses nearly touching. Startled, the Angel God was somewhat at a loss.

Qian Xunling said, "Ancestor? Are you kidding me? How many generations apart are we? It's been at least ten thousand years, hasn't it? Our blood relation has long since grown as thin as the difference between a Demon Soul Great White Shark and a great white shark.

"And look at us. How are we alike? Apart from the same golden hair and golden eyes, what else is the same? The Angel God? I don't even take those old geezers seriously. You think I'd take you seriously?"

"Go back where you came from. Don't pull this act with me."

Qian Xunling panted, then looked at the Angel God again and sneered. "No, wait. You do have something in common with my family. You're a bit like that so-called father of mine: hidebound, stubborn and stupid!"

"You!" The Angel God clenched her fists, her chest heaving with anger. Since she had begun cultivating, when had she ever suffered such insults? And she could tell that Qian Xunling was treating her as a dumping ground for his anger.

Qian Xunling stared at her and pressed on. "What, you want me to inherit your Angel Godhood? I'll be honest with you: those old fossils just now wanted me to inherit their Godhoods too. Do you think your Godhood can compare to theirs?"

"So they really did want you to inherit their Godhoods."

The Angel God's icy, stunningly beautiful face showed some dejection.

But she looked at Qian Xunling and said, "That's a good thing."

"Huh?" Qian Xunling stared at her in surprise. "What the hell does them giving me a Godhood have to do with you? Why the hell do you think that's a good thing?"

The Angel God shook her head. "Whatever else may be said, you carry my bloodline. If you really inherit one of their Godhoods, then I'll benefit too. So it really is a good thing."

"Other people live off their elders, but you're going to live off your junior?!" Qian Xunling felt as though he might explode. Why was every last one of them so utterly baffling?

The Angel God also felt that her behavior was ridiculous, but those were indeed the facts, and she wouldn't lie. So she could only nod.

"Why the hell are you nodding?! Shouldn't you apologize or feel ashamed?!" Qian Xunling felt that this person in front of him was even harder to deal with than that idiot Bibi Dong.

Just then, Ning Fengzhi's anxious voice came from outside. "Immortal, Immortal, something terrible has happened! Something terrible!"

The Angel God slowly vanished before Qian Xunling.

Only then did Qian Xunling open the door, his face dark, and ask, "What is it?"

Ning Fengzhi came up to Qian Xunling, his face worried. "Xue Ye just sent someone with a message, telling you to leave quickly, Immortal. That ancestor of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen, has come to Heaven Dou City."

Hearing this, Qian Xunling's expression grew grave. Xue Ye couldn't have sent false information, since the kingdom's national treasure was with him.

But why had Tang Chen appeared here?

No, ever since Tang Chen returned from Sea God Island, he had been searching the continent for a divine inheritance. So there were bound to be times when he traveled the continent looking for one in person. Passing through Heaven Dou City didn't seem so hard to imagine.

After all, apart from the Clear Sky Sect, no one knew Tang Chen's true whereabouts.

Qian Xunling asked, "Where's Little Spider?"

"Little Spider is with Uncle Gu." Ning Fengzhi looked toward the residence's main hall, and Qian Xunling hurried that way.

He couldn't stay in Heaven Dou City any longer.

But just then, both of them immediately sensed a powerful Soul Power fluctuation from the hall. A Limit Douluo!
