"Young Master."
When Qian Renxue went to the Soul Palace, she did not bring the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo with her as usual, but they all knew that Qian Renxue had gone to the Soul Palace.
They were all incredibly surprised when they discovered that Qian Renxue had returned with a sword.
Young Master has finally made something of himself? He even managed to retrieve something from the Soul Palace!
As soon as the two finished saying "Young Master," Qian Daoliu, who had been forcibly calming down to focus on healing his injuries, immediately flew out of the secret room.
"The Holy Sword of Angels has returned. It's good that it's back."
Upon seeing the Angelic Holy Sword, Qian Daoliu didn't even have time to ask Qian Renxue why she had found it so quickly; he was filled with joy.
However, before he could get close, the Angelic Holy Sword emitted a holy light, keeping him at bay.
Qian Renxue, wielding the angelic holy sword, appeared incomparably sacred and solemn.
"this..."
Qian Daoliu was initially shocked, but then a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
"Xiaoxue, you've gained the approval of the Angelic Holy Sword? You've activated the divine inheritance through your own power?"
Aside from this reason, Qian Daoliu couldn't think of any other reason why Qian Renxue would receive the Angelic Holy Sword's recognition as her master.
Could it be that Xiaoxue's talent is so high that she can start the divine test, or even reach the divine rank of angel, without my help?
Even if Qian Renxue were to undergo the Angel God Trial and take the final step to become an Angel God, it would require Qian Daoliu to pay with his life.
Qian Daoliu was certainly willing to give everything for his granddaughter, but it would be even better if he could live to witness Qian Renxue become an angel god.
Qian Renxue was still thinking about how to explain, but Qian Daoliu filled in the blanks himself.
Qian Renxue planned to talk to Qian Daoliu about Qian Miyue at a suitable time, at least after he had fully recovered from his injuries.
After all, Qian Daoliu's mood has fluctuated so much. If he were to experience a few more intense shocks, his old bones might not be able to withstand it.
While Qian Daoliu was pleasantly surprised, he also asked with some concern:
"The Angelic Holy Sword returned to you on its own and recognized you as its master, right? That makes sense. The Angelic Holy Sword must have been stimulated to activate its divine inheritance for you. The person who took the Angelic Holy Sword will definitely not be willing to accept this. It's too dangerous here."
Qian Daoliu felt that this must be the case, because if that mysterious expert appeared, even if the Angelic Holy Sword recognized its master, Qian Renxue would not be able to take it back.
"Come back to Wuhun City with me. I'm here, and so is your mother. That man won't dare to set foot here easily."
Qian Daoliu's tone was somewhat urging, after all, that mysterious expert was too powerful, and he couldn't use the Angelic Holy Sword right now, plus he was injured. If the other party found them, the grandfather and grandson might end up here.
Qian Renxue was indeed planning to return to Wuhun City, but definitely not at this time, much less in such a hurry.
Her seizure of power in the Heavenly Dou Empire has reached a critical juncture, and she will soon be able to completely sideline Emperor Xueye.
Once she has fully consolidated her power, it would be best for her to return to Wuhun City and assume the position of Pope in one fell swoop.
If I go back now, who knows what Bibi Dong might do? Neither her personal strength nor Qian Daoliu's current state is enough to support her forcibly becoming the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
"Grandpa, don't worry. With the Soul Palace guarding the vicinity of Heaven Dou City, that mysterious person you mentioned won't dare to make a move."
Qian Daoliu didn't like hearing this.
It's true that the Soul Hall has risen to prominence and is very strong, but in Qian Daoliu's opinion, its foundation is definitely not as good as that of the Spirit Hall. Even that mysterious expert had such difficulty dealing with him with the Angelic Holy Sword, so how could the Soul Hall have such ability?
"Xiaoxue, you don't know the strength of that mysterious person..."
Qian Renxue gestured with her chin toward the Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo, "They both know the strength of the Soul Palace. You can ask them."
The Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo were startled. Why were they involved in this?
However, the two of them said in unison, "Great Elder, the Soul Palace's strength is indeed ridiculously strong. Even if the person you mentioned had become a god, there is a high probability that he would not be a match for the Soul Palace."
"How is this possible?"
Qian Daoliu almost doubted his ears. He, the King of the Sky, was already at the peak of the Soul Master realm in Douluo Continent, and he had never heard of anyone in Douluo Continent who could deal with gods.
Qian Renxue added, "Bibi Dong came to Heaven Dou City some time ago. After seeing part of the Soul Hall's strength, she ran back to Spirit City without saying a word. Doesn't that prove the Soul Hall's strength?"
Qian Daoliu didn't really believe the other explanations, but when Bibi Dong was used as an example, he had no choice but to believe them.
He knew Bibi Dong's arrogance and stubbornness very well. For Bibi Dong to flee without daring to stay, her strength was definitely greater than that of the mysterious expert.
After all, Bibi Dong dared to directly attack that person that day, but the more Qian Daoliu believed Qian Renxue's words, the more doubtful he became.
Is this still the Douluo Continent he knows? How can there be such a powerful force? He even thought that Bibi Dong's failure to curb the Soul Hall was a sign of weakness. Now it seems that if Bibi Dong really took action against the Soul Hall, the Spirit Hall might be the one to suffer.
"Grandpa, I know you have many questions. I'll tell you them one by one after you've recovered."
After much persuasion, Qian Renxue finally convinced the bewildered Qian Daoliu to go and recuperate.
Previously, the Spirit Hall only had Qian Qiusui, and Qian Renxue didn't dare to confront Qian Daoliu directly. After all, Qian Qiusui's strength was not stronger than Qian Daoliu's, and Qian Daoliu, wielding the Angelic Holy Sword, might even be able to defeat Qian Qiusui.
Furthermore, Qian Qiu Sui is not a conventional angelic martial soul, but is filled with dark attributes, which may backfire and cause Qian Dao Liu to regard it as a heretic.
Now that the angel has appeared in the world, he can always keep the thousands of streams in check.
Anyway, Qian Renxue had long given up the idea of opposing the Soul Palace. Being a subordinate in the Soul Palace was good enough for her. She had pills and soul beast mounts, which was better than being the Pope.
Thinking of the medicinal pills, Qian Renxue decided to buy one to heal her injuries.
Qian Daoliu's injuries are difficult for ordinary Soul Masters to treat, so perhaps elixirs would be more effective and could help him recover sooner.
...
The Soul Palace Small World.
Xiao Mu integrated the Boundary Star Map into the core of the Soul Palace. Strands of spatial power enveloped the Boundary Star Map, and invisible spatial fluctuations spread out from the Heavenly Palace, extending into the Soul Palace's small world and reaching into the endless void.
Even with the boundary star map, accurately locating and opening a spatial passage to an unfamiliar dimension is still not an easy task.
After a long time, a point of light lit up on the star map of the realm, signifying that a certain plane had been locked.
And just after locking onto the coordinates of this plane, the requirements for upgrading the Soul Palace to level five appeared.
After the Soul Hall was upgraded to level four, no new upgrade requirements appeared for a long time, and Xiao Mu still thought that the Soul Hall could only be upgraded to level four at most.
Unexpectedly, this triggered new upgrade conditions.
