Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 416 I'm thinking of getting a new artifact.

Qian Renxue frowned, then coughed softly.

Upon hearing the cough, Lin Mengtong flipped her hand, ending the spirit ascension process.

"Incredible, Young Master!" Lin Mengtong exclaimed in amazement. "During this Spirit Ascension process, the loss of immortal spiritual energy was almost less than five percent, which is practically equivalent to no waste!"

Qian Renxue calmed herself down and subtly sensed the changes in her soul rings.

"This is the limit I can reach right now," Qian Renxue said. "The original lifespan of a soul ring was around 62,000 years, but now it's almost 110,000 years."

She extended her right hand, and a sacred sword in the form of a hand blade appeared.

"Increasing the age of the spirit ring will bring an increase in the power of the spirit skill..." Qian Renxue gripped the hand blade. "The current Sacred Sword should be a 100,000-year-level spirit skill. But as expected, the spirit ring did not develop a second spirit skill after reaching 100,000 years."

"After all, the soul skills were already predetermined." Ye Xishui nodded. "Just like the seventh soul skill will definitely be the Martial Soul True Body."

"After upgrading from the ten-thousand-year level to the one hundred-thousand-year level, the amplification rate of my soul skill increased from 300% to 500%, and moreover..."

"Let's talk about results." Ye Xishui waved her hand.

"If I unleash my full power, one sword strike can kill a defensive Soul Saint who has activated their Martial Soul True Body." Qian Renxue explained simply and clearly, "However, I currently only have enough power for three strikes before my soul power is depleted, unless I can raise my soul power level to Soul Emperor."

"What level are you now?" Ye Xishui asked uncertainly, because she felt that ever since Xiaoxue absorbed the divine soul ring, she seemed to have stopped being able to see through Xiaoxue's disguise.

"It's probably around the peak of fifty-four, that's the result after it solidified," Qian Renxue said. "It's mainly due to the boost from that divinely bestowed soul ring. The increase in the soul ring's age primarily amplifies the soul skills, without significantly improving the cultivation of soul power."

"I can understand that, since it's the immortal spiritual energy that's injected into the soul rings, rather than acting directly on my body," Qian Renxue said. "In my previous life, I increased the lifespan of all my soul rings by 50,000 years after completing the ninth trial. At that time, I was already at level 100, and the soul power in my body had already become divine power, so it was very difficult to increase my cultivation level."

"Speaking of which, I'm curious what your tenth ring was like when you were level 100?"

"Hmm... it's a golden soul ring, or perhaps a divine ring? At the same time, my first nine soul rings also gained an extra layer of golden radiance. This is because soul skills are amplified after ascending to godhood and transformed into divine skills," Qian Renxue recalled.

"In truth, most of the so-called divine artifacts and skills are actually the martial souls and soul skills of the previous generation of gods—if they ascended from the Douluo Continent." Qian Renxue shrugged. "But my ancestor is different. My Angelic Holy Sword..."

Qian Renxue summoned another sword: "It should be made of a divine metal, perhaps the Angelic Armor is the same."

Ye Xishui's expression turned serious: "Do you remember what metal it was?"

If, if possible, could we perhaps use divine metals to forge new divine artifacts?

The forging method was not a major problem. As a nation of soul tools, the Sun Moon Empire had no shortage of blacksmiths, and even had several blacksmiths employed by the royal family and the Mingde Hall.

Adding to the captured Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique… However, Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment: “I don’t know. But when I inherited this Angelic Holy Armor, I discovered that it was different from ordinary soul bones. It was armor that my ancestor once wore, and it was part of the same set as the Holy Sword. My grandfather was once the High Priest of the Angel God, but he didn’t know where this armor came from either; it wasn’t mentioned in the inheritance.”

Lin Mengtong pondered for a moment: "Regarding divine-grade metals, I seem to have heard of something called Heavenly Fire Refined Iron about two thousand years ago. It takes nearly ten thousand years to gradually take shape after absorbing the essence of fire. However, such a thing should no longer exist on the current continent."

Qian Renxue seemed to be thinking, but no matter how she tried to search her past memories, she had no recollection of this Heavenly Fire Refined Iron.

"I don't know... I'm sorry." Qian Renxue scratched her head. "I guess I'm a victim of injustice. I didn't even know when my sacred authority was stolen, and I don't even know where this armor I'm wearing came from."

"Deep Sea Silver, how do you think it compares to Heavenly Fire Refined Iron?" Ye Xishui asked Lin Mengtong.

"I can't draw a conclusion about this either, because I've never seen Heavenly Fire Refined Iron." Lin Mengtong shook her head. "But Deep Sea Sinking Silver is undoubtedly a rare metal of extremely high quality. We've unearthed quite a bit of it underground at Cold Pine Cliff. However, the most precious things we found there were the Gold of Life and the Evergreen Vine of Life."

"These things appeared very abruptly; they don't seem like things that could have spontaneously formed underground. Maybe they're a legacy left on the island by the former sea god," Lin Mengtong said.

"That's not hard to understand. After all, Seagod Island was once the place where gods passed on their lineage and the Seagod's stronghold, so it's reasonable for it to have some special things. For example, the deep-sea sunken silver we dug up was actually from some of the guardian sacred pillars," Qian Renxue said. "I could smell the stench emanating from these things even across the ocean."

"Then, as an island, Poseidon Island is quite isolated from the world. With the blessings of the sea god, it's reasonable that it would give birth to the Life Gold and the Evergreen Vine," Qian Renxue said softly. "It's just that due to the collision of continents, they were buried underground."

"Then something illogical happens. Shrek Academy must know about the divine trials Tang San and the others went through, and they should also know something about what happened on Seagod Island. Could it be that they let these treasures go because of their reverence?" Qian Renxue thought in disbelief.

"Who knows?" Ye Xishui shrugged. "I suggest we don't think about it too much right now. Let's stabilize our newly acquired abilities and such. If we can't figure it out now, maybe we'll understand after a rest."

Qian Renxue took out a large flower, an eight-petaled fairy orchid: "Teacher, please keep this with you for now."

"What do you want to do with this magical herb?"

"Elder Haitang, she shouldn't be the only Nine-Hearted Begonia in this world. If she has descendants to carry on the legacy, let her exchange this celestial plant for her merits after she has made enough contributions." Qian Renxue sighed, "Nine-Hearted Begonia, maybe I'm just a bit stereotypical sometimes, but I always feel that they should save people."

"However, this thing probably won't be able to help them restore their martial souls, but it can improve the physique of future soul masters, so that their cultivation path won't be too bumpy."

"The one who tied the knot must untie it, young master. Have you forgotten that the woman from the Nine Treasures Glazed Glass has also come down?" Lin Mengtong said with a light laugh.

Here's an extra chapter to make up for the "Light of Inspiration" reward from Sicheng!

After making up for the guaranteed minimum and monthly ticket bonus chapters tomorrow during the day, I should be able to resume normal updates.

So this story teaches me not to go to the hospital casually... The unstable update schedule in the past two days has caused a drop in the popularity of this book among members... Since the reading on that day may have been affected, please continue to follow along!

thanks~
