Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 91 is in hand; time to head to the Stars.
Xue Qinghe walked over and saw that Ding Quan looked a little strange and thoughtful. This guy was just as he thought, and probably already knew about that 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast.

After all, those eyes could see through his true identity, and he did often come to watch Shrek Academy's matches during the Soul Master Competition, showing a lot of interest in the team. Previously, it was thought that it was because they had several Soul Kings, but now it seems that Ding Quan has a higher probability of discovering a 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast.

"Your Highness, your plan is nearing its end. Knowing these things at this point could easily lead to trouble."

"You're right." Xue Qinghe nodded upon hearing this. She had naturally sent people to investigate the information of the Shrek Academy team members, and she had already guessed Tang San's identity before.

"It seems your plan is working perfectly."

"With Shrek Academy winning the championship, and Tang San's current identity and information about his transformed soul beast, there are no more voices opposing me in the Heaven Dou Empire. My ascension to the throne is foolproof."

"It's good that Your Highness knows what's going on. You didn't come here just to confirm this with me, did you?"

It seems that after the information that Tang San is Tang Hao's son was exposed, Xue Qinghe, who favored the Shrek Academy team, suppressed the Xue Xing lineage severely.

Tang San, as Tang Hao's son, was actually expelled from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy by Xue Xing. This was a loss for the Heaven Dou royal family. Haotian Douluo was a top expert on the continent. Although he was wanted by the Spirit Hall, the relationship between the two great empires and the Spirit Hall was always extremely hostile.

"Ding Quan, you know my identity, but I know very little about you guys."

"Your Highness must have already found out about me."

"That's exactly what surprises me. You truly are an incomprehensible genius."

"It was just a bit of a lucky encounter."

"You mean that kind of herb? It doesn't seem to be up to your level." Qian Renxue said, a wisp of soul power appearing in her hand, the powerful fire attribute making the surrounding area much hotter.

"You have already absorbed the Phoenix Sunflower."

"Its effect has indeed exceeded my expectations." Qian Renxue looked at Ding Quan with bright eyes.

The power of this herb truly exceeded Qian Renxue's expectations, raising her soul power by one level. Her soul power had just broken through to level 76 not long ago, and now it had reached level 77. Moreover, it had indeed accelerated her cultivation speed. However, she didn't know how long this could last. If she continued at her current cultivation speed, she might be able to break through to level 80 in about a year and become a Soul Douluo, at which point she would only be thirty years old.

Qian Renxue could clearly feel that her fire attribute had become much stronger. The strength of the fire attribute had surpassed that of the light attribute, which was originally similar to it. This was quite rare, as the strength of her two attributes was at the top of her martial soul, and it would be extremely difficult to enhance them.

Even so, it still doesn't reach the level of Ding Quan.

"Such a thing is extremely rare. There is probably no other one like it in the world. You don't need to think about it."

“That’s true.” Qian Renxue withdrew her gaze. If there were many such things, then Title Douluo wouldn’t be so rare.

"When do you plan to make your move?" Ding Quan watched as Qian Renxue put away her soul power. The effects of the immortal herb were undeniable; it seemed that even a god-level martial soul would benefit from it.

"I'm making the final arrangements. Also, here's the information you've been looking for. Be careful lately." Qian Renxue tossed a booklet from her storage soul tool and then left.

Watching Qian Renxue fly away, Ding Quan caught the booklet. Why did she make such a long trip just to get this booklet for him?
Information on soul beasts? It seems she already knows about my recent search for soul beasts.

However, the age of the soul beasts I need is very high, while the age of the soul beasts recorded here is much lower.

Ding Quan glanced through it and found that the attributes recorded there were somewhat satisfactory. Soul beasts with Yin and Yang attributes were extremely rare, so there weren't many of them. However, he could use it as a reference for himself and then go find stronger ones.

A month later.

Boom!
A tremendous bell rang out from the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, and the entire Heavenly Dou Imperial City could hear the powerful sound of the bell.

Qian Renxue's plan was completed much faster than expected. The current master of the Heaven Dou Empire, Emperor Xue Ye, collapsed!
Upon hearing this bell, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Qian Renxue, the young master of the Spirit Hall, is about to become the master of the Heaven Dou Empire after more than twenty years of scheming.

Ding Quan turned his gaze toward Shrek Academy, where the Shrek group had now returned to the Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Tang San and Xiao Wu had already left, but to Ding Quan's surprise, Dai Mubai had not left and was still at Shrek Academy. It was impossible for the people of the Star Luo Empire not to know his identity. It seemed that something had happened in the finals of the Soul Master Competition that he was unaware of, or perhaps there were other reasons.

It's unclear whether Shrek Academy will have another five-year agreement now.

Tang San's identity has been exposed. If nothing unexpected happens, Tang Hao will definitely arrange for him to go to the City of Slaughter for training, and Tang Hao will escort him all the way. He is probably already on his way there.

Since his appearance hasn't changed much, it's dangerous for him to be out in the open. Going to kill people can avoid these troubles.

In the original novel, Tang Hao infiltrated the City of Slaughter without the King of Slaughter's knowledge, and even witnessed him traversing the Road to Hell.

Seeing that there were even more guards on the street than during the Soul Master Competition, it seemed that Qian Renxue's actions had not gone as planned.

However, in the original story, she was already close to success, but she failed because she encountered Tang San. Now that Tang San is gone, and there are no Title Douluos in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, the two Title Douluos by Qian Renxue's side can solve a lot of problems.

What surprised Ding Quan even more was that Dugu Bo, the titled Douluo, had not appeared in the Heaven Dou Imperial City during this period, indicating that he did not want to participate in the struggle within the Heaven Dou royal family.

News of Xue Ye's death spread rapidly from the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, and Crown Prince Xue Qinghe ascended the throne, becoming the new Heavenly Dou Emperor.

The situation on the mainland seems unchanged, but those who pay attention can notice that several powerful armies have emerged in the Heavenly Dou Empire, all of which are directly under the command of the newly appointed Heavenly Dou Emperor.

This newly enthroned Emperor of Tiandou had ambitions that even Emperor Xueye had never had. Those who discovered this were not surprised, as every newly enthroned emperor wanted to achieve something.

late at night!

Ding Quan, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes and then walked out of the room.

An exquisite box was thrown directly at Ding Quan, who hurriedly caught it.

"Boy, this is what the young master promised to give you!" The voice of Bloodthirsty Douluo came, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

"The Vast Ocean Universe Cover." I didn't expect Qian Renxue to hand this over to me so quickly. However, judging from the expression on the Bloodthirsty Douluo's face, it seems that obtaining this item may have taken quite a bit of effort.

"Young Master is currently unavailable, so he sent me to give it to you." "Thank you, Senior."

"This thing is more useful than we thought, you'd better not lose it."

"I understand."

"Take care of yourself." After saying this, Bloodthirsty Douluo vanished instantly.

Ding Quan looked at the box in his hand and went straight to a basement.

Upon opening the box, rings of blue and light blue light emanated from it. Ding Quan nodded in agreement; there was no mistake, this was indeed the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

This is a three-dimensional triangular block that radiates a crystal-clear blue light. It is small, only about the size of a palm, and appears to be carved from sapphire.

Within the crystalline blue light, a precious glow emanated, and strange energy fluctuations constantly emanated from it. Ding Quan felt this energy as if he were soaking in water, experiencing an indescribable comfort.

On this blue triangular body, there are ripple-like patterns. These patterns don't seem to be carved, but rather they seem to be alive. Circles of blue light shimmer, illuminating the originally dim basement and making it sparkle.

This is the core of the Sea God's artifact, the Trident of the Sea God. Ding Quan did not inject any spiritual power into it, because the Sea God's divine consciousness is inside. He didn't know if the divine consciousness could still detect it without injecting spiritual power.

In the original story, Tang San used his spiritual power to touch the consciousness of the Sea God inside, causing the Vast Sea Universe Cover to recognize him as its master.

Although Ding Quan was somewhat envious of the various skills of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the Sea God's position was not suitable for him.

After confirming that it was the rightful owner, Ding Quan put it away and then headed towards the Star Dou Great Forest in the night.

In a corner of the residence, Ci Xue's figure reappeared. After watching Ding Quan's figure disappear into the distance, he silently got up and headed towards the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

Looking at the Heavenly Dou Imperial City behind him, Ding Quan did not linger. Under the cover of night, his figure disappeared into the air.

A few days later.

Outside the Star Dou Great Forest, in the Soul Hunter Town, Ding Quan arrived at a small courtyard and pushed the door open without knocking.

Two figures appeared the moment Ding Quan pushed open the door and entered, their faces lighting up with joy upon seeing him.

"Izumi, long time no see."

"Ling, Wei'er, it's been a long time." Ding Quan hugged the two of them immediately.

"Well, did you get what you wanted?" Ling already knew that Xue Qinghe had two Title Douluos by his side, which was why the two left immediately after hearing the news and Ding Quan's explanation. Only if the two left would the other party not dare to easily make a move against Ding Quan.

With their current strength and talent, becoming peerless Douluo is not a problem for them. After all, they both possess domain soul skills that even titled Douluo find difficult to obtain, and they have more than one. Moreover, with the strength of their ultimate martial souls, they have no rivals among their peers.

"Got it." Ding Quan released the two and looked at Ling.

Ling's martial soul has the ice attribute, and if we consider the compatibility, she is indeed the most suitable among them to inherit the Sea God's position.

"Quan, you're level 60?" The two checked Ding Quan over and found nothing wrong, which put them at ease. But then they realized that Ding Quan's soul power was above theirs.

In fact, their soul power levels have also increased very quickly. They have now reached level 59 and are not far from level 60. Level 60 is not a bottleneck for them, but it does take them much longer to accumulate soul power than before.

“My head soul bone’s age has increased a bit, and I’ve reached the attribute limit.” Ding Quan didn’t hide anything and was pulled into the room by the two to sit down.

"That's great." Wei'er already possesses the ultimate attribute, so she naturally knows how powerful it is. If Ding Quan's martial soul is raised to the ultimate level, then the increase in strength will not be small.

How long will it take you to reach level 60?

"It won't take long. Quan, if you're going to enter the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring, we can set off at any time. Finding the soul beasts you need this time will take quite a while," Ling said to Ding Quan. This time, Wei'er and Quan need soul beasts with very high age requirements to hunt souls in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Judging from their current true strength reaching the Soul Saint level, their physical attributes are also roughly at that level.

The Soul Saint can absorb up to 50,000 years, so their sixth Soul Rings are also close to that age limit.

Soul beasts of this age are already in the mixed or even core areas of the Star Dou Great Forest. Not only is it dangerous, but it would take a very long time to find a suitable soul beast for them.

"However, the Star Dou Great Forest has not been peaceful recently. In the past two months, soul beasts that are tens of thousands of years old have frequently appeared on the outskirts of the forest." Wei'er seemed to have thought of something.

“Vell is right. Things have been strange lately. Many Soul Hunting teams in Soul Hunting Town have suffered heavy losses, and some have even been wiped out.”

"Is that so?" Ding Quan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"Yes, it happened in the last two months, Quan. Do you think it might be because of the transformed soul beasts?" The news that a 100,000-year transformed soul beast appeared in this year's Soul Master Competition has spread throughout the Soul Master world. After all, a red 100,000-year soul ring is the number one treasure on the Soul Master's dream list.

"Maybe." Ding Quan was also somewhat uncertain. If Tang Hao had sent Xiao Wu back to the Star Dou Great Forest, it shouldn't have caused such a commotion. For a low-level Soul Master, the appearance of a Soul Beast that is tens of thousands of years old on the outskirts is a natural disaster.

It just so happens that the finals of this Soul Master Competition ended about two months ago, so the timing matches up.

"But do we have a confirmed soul beast? With our current strength, we should be fine if we're cautious." Their true soul power has reached the level of Soul Saint, and they also have flight and simulation skills, so being cautious shouldn't cause any problems.

As for hunting high-age soul beasts, having plenty of tools makes it not a problem when launching a sneak attack.

"I haven't found a suitable one yet. It seems I can only keep searching." Ding Quan shook his head. Soul beasts with Yin and Yang attributes and a high age are extremely rare. Qian Renxue had given him some information about soul beasts before, but unfortunately, none of them were suitable for him in terms of age.

"In that case, this time it will probably take a long time, and we can indeed enter the Star Dou ahead of schedule."

"Alright, I also want to know what happened in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest." Although it's dangerous for the soul beasts in the mixed zone to have run to the outer perimeter, it's not a problem for the group of people who were already heading to the mixed zone anyway.
