Chapter 21: Tang Xiao Becomes Clear Sky Douluo
The next morning, after a night of hard work, Ah Yin was still resting. He used his divine power to check Ah Yin's body.
Qian Xunfeng was stunned for a moment. Then he was overjoyed—his years of hard work finally paid off.
Turning his head to look at the closed window, Qian Xunfeng smiled.
Walking slowly to the window, he pushed it open, glanced at the ground casually, and smiled knowingly.
"I have to find a chance to send Bibi Dong to the Slaughter City."
Because of him, Bibi Dong wasted eight years without training. In the original book, she entered the Slaughter City at level 70. Now Bibi Dong has recovered her cultivation and may be a Soul Emperor.
"After completing the fourth test and obtaining 10% of the authority of God of Order, let Bibi Dong enter the Slaughter City."
With 30% of the authority of God of Order, he can easily influence Bibi Dong's emotions and the Divine Test.
The effect will naturally be much better if he psychologically hints to Bibi Dong with the Divine Test every day.
After putting on his clothes, Qian Xunfeng entered the treasure house unimpeded.
"Now I have a torso bone and a right leg bone. I only need four soul bones to form a divine outfit."
On the last floor of the treasure house, the shelves are full of colorful soul bones, but they are all thousands of years old, just over ten thousand years old.
Until the last shelf, only twenty soul bones were lying in the box, exuding a fascinating aura.
All these soul bones are more than 50,000 years old, and the top three are top-grade soul bones, considered treasures handed down from generation to generation in the Spirit Hall.
"50,000-year-old left-hand bone of the Bright Unicorn, 60,000-year-old skull of the Glowing Butterfly, 75,000-year-old right-hand bone of the Fiery Dove, and 70,000-year-old left leg bone of the Bright Lord."
Almost all the soul bones chosen by Qian Xunfeng are attached to top-grade skills, making them very suitable for his martial soul.
Because he has divine power in his body, Qian Xunfeng does not need to refine them piece by piece.
He went directly back to the secret room and used divine power to guide and slowly absorb the several soul bones.
In just two and a half hours...
Qian Xunfeng slowly opened his eyes, and an emotionless voice sounded in his ears:
"Complete the fourth test of the God of Order. The age of all soul bones will be increased to one million years, the authority of God of Order will be increased by 10%, and the age of all soul rings will be increased by 50,000 years."
As soon as the voice finished, Qian Xunfeng felt as if his whole body was torn apart, and colorful light emanated from him.
The increased age of the soul bones by the divine power of God of Order is equivalent to a bone replacement, giving Qian Xunfeng a feeling he had never experienced before.
When the light on his body faded, Qian Xunfeng stood up exhausted, wiping cold sweat from his forehead.
An unprecedented breath emanated from his body—divine power.
At this moment, even if Qian Xunfeng did not use divine power, he could easily kill a priest of level 100 and fight a level 3 god. With divine power, he could even fight a level 2 god.
"The fifth test of order: forge a quasi-artifact. Reward: 10% of the authority of God of Order, increase the age of all soul rings by 100,000 years, and transform the quasi-artifact into a growable artifact."
"The test of the god touches the knowledge blind spot of the continent. For this reason, a total of 10 methods of forging artifacts have been identified: the soul bones of the Water and Fire Dragon King in front of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well can be used to forge artifacts."
"Go to the depths of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, and use the life gold combined with faith to forge artifacts."
"Go to the bottom of the sea to kill the Deep-Sea Demon Whale King, use its soul bones to make a pseudo-artifact, collect the faith of sea soul beasts, and transform it into a quasi-artifact."
"Go to Sea God Island to steal the Sea God Trident and recast it."
...
There are still many methods for forging artifacts.
"No suffering at all."
Looking at the hints provided by the divine test, it was worried he would get stuck at the fifth test. The only pain Qian Xunfeng experienced was the pain of increasing the age of the soul bones.
"First, refine the newly acquired 10% authority of God of Order."
Without further hesitation, Qian Xunfeng, now the strongest person on the continent—even if his old man, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi came together—could only be dealt with in three slaps.
After a month of refining, Qian Xunfeng walked out of the secret room.
He sat at the desk where he handled approval documents, and leaned back on the stool.
On the desk were all the latest major events on the continent, collected by the Spirit Hall before his seclusion.
Qian Xunfeng poured himself a pot of tea, like reading a newspaper.
In the past six months, many things have happened, such as the Clear Sky Sect suddenly announcing that Tang Zhen's retreat failed, and he died.
Tang Xiao successfully broke through to Title Douluo, took over as leader of the Clear Sky Sect, and became the new Clear Sky Douluo.
Tang Hao is now an 89th-level Soul Douluo, thanks to pressure from Qian Xunfeng. As soon as he advances one level, he will become a Titled Douluo.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect even sent a gift of 100 million gold soul coins to the Clear Sky Sect to help its development.
"Ning Fengzhi gave me some herbs and 50 million gold soul coins when I got married."
Qian Xunfeng was not used to the clown Ning Fengzhi in the original story, who was overly businesslike.
All this cleverness—why is an auxiliary sect so high-profile? Aren't you afraid of dying unjustly?
While thinking, a cardinal stood outside the door and reported:
"Your Holiness, the leader of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao, wants to see you."
"Let him in."
After reading the intelligence, Qian Xunfeng almost knew why Tang Xiao had come. He was probably here for the evil soul master.
Soon, the roughly built Tang Xiao entered. After serving as leader for several years, he appeared much more stable, with his arrogance restrained.
Standing taller, he could better understand the pressure brought by the Spirit Hall, and he couldn't help but feel a little fear.
However, thinking of his grandfather, the Ultimate Douluo of level 99, made him straighten his back again.
"I wonder why Sect Master Tang came to the Spirit Hall to see me?"
The process should still be followed. Qian Xunfeng sat on the stool, sipped his tea, and looked at Tang Xiao.
"Hello, Your Holiness the Pope. I came here to find someone."
Tang Xiao's face was firm. Since meeting Yun'er a few years ago, he decided to marry her privately. Now that he is Sect Master, the decision remains the same.
"Oh, I wonder who can catch the eye of Sect Master Tang?"
Qian Xunfeng chuckled, considering what to request—soul bones, rare herbs, or gold soul coins.
"Your Holiness, please consider. This person is Yun'er, who was captured by Your Holiness a few years ago. I am here today to ask for her release."
Tang Xiao's tone was slightly pleading. He knew that the person in front of him could easily destroy their Clear Sky Sect. Since becoming Sect Master, he decided not to oppose the Spirit Hall anymore. He occasionally communicated with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, just in case.
"This..."
Qian Xunfeng looked a little displeased and said meaningfully:
"That is an evil soul master. Our Spirit Hall is irreconcilable with evil soul masters. It's difficult for this Pope to agree with what Sect Master Tang requests."
"Please, Your Holiness. For this, I am willing to offer a ten-thousand-year soul bone as compensation, and I will restrain and persuade Yun'er in the future."
Seeing Qian Xunfeng's hesitation, Tang Xiao was anxious. He immediately took out a fifteen-thousand-year soul bone from his bag and placed it on the table.
"Master Tang is sincere, and I can't break up the couple. I will go with you."
Qianxun Feng sighed and calculated the time. It was time for Yun'er to be released from prison. Since Tang Xiao took the initiative to request her release, it saved him a lot of trouble.
He could also take the opportunity to acquire a ten-thousand-year soul bone—it's not a loss.
