Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue

Chapter 617 The Little Devil's Journey to Enlightenment!

Upon hearing Qian Renxue's words, Youyou was also taken aback. It shook its large petals, indicating its confusion and ignorance.

"..." Qian Renxue shook her head helplessly.

"We've only lived for ten thousand years," the murmured voice sounded a little aggrieved. Then it asked the Autumn Water Dew beside it, "Autumn Dew, you're the smartest among us, you know that?"

"I don't know, you're the second smartest, Bajiao."

Bajiao was momentarily stunned: "I...I'm not quite sure either."

Qian Renxue called them back; if they continued like this, they might end up asking about the wild grasses.

"Alright, I was just asking out of curiosity. If you don't know the answer, I won't delve into it." Qian Renxue sat down cross-legged in a spot. "Are you guys usually quite noisy? I'm going to be in seclusion here for a while."

Youyou quickly said, "No, no. Landlord, please go into seclusion. We promise we won't make a sound."

"Okay." Qian Renxue composed herself and then slowly closed her eyes.

"What should we do? The landlord is here. How are we supposed to have a tea party?" Seeing Qian Renxue enter seclusion, the large, ethereal petals swayed.

"Forget it, Youyou, the landlady didn't mention taking our companions away this time, so it feels pretty good," Ajiao said. "Do you remember, after we found our new landlady, she never asked us for anything again. This is much better than living in fear before."

The immortal herbs whispered cautiously among themselves.

"Speaking of which, lately I don't know why, but I feel like a shackle has been broken off, and then I remembered the details of our family's past. Remember, we told the new landlord that the person who lived here was very good to us and didn't take everything with them. But I remember that person took all our brothers and sisters away, not even sparing the little blue silver grass in this forest!"

The faint voice made it impossible to discern whether it was filled with resentment or anger.

"He plundered us all, leaving us with basically only one primordial seed, and he even said it was for our own good! As a result, over the past ten thousand years, some of our brothers and sisters haven't grown to their former size! In the end, he also drained a lot of power from those little Blue Silver Grasses to restore the Blue Silver Grass he brought... I think it's the one the landlord just mentioned."

In reality, it was because Tang San's power weakened and his control over the continent decreased that a mental shackle on these immortal items was broken, allowing them to recall some past events.

After entering seclusion, Qian Renxue sensed some of the whispers among these guys, but she ignored them.

"Our new landlady rescued us, so we should repay her," Youyou said firmly.

After saying that, as if she had made up her mind, a faint silver thread appeared on Youyou's body and wrapped around Qian Renxue's body.

"Hmm, Youyou, did you give all of this to the landlord?" Ajiao asked.

"I sensed a similar aura from the landlord. Ah Jiao and Ba Jiao, you two have truly been nourished by the Ice and Fire Springs. Do you want to come along?" Youyou seemed to be tempting Ah Jiao and Ba Jiao.

"Well... okay." Gillian hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

The star anise, quite naturally, also developed similar silver threads in their root parts, which slowly flowed into Qian Renxue's body.

"Um?"

Qian Renxue sensed something different surrounding her, and she calmed down to carefully perceive it.

This energy is similar to immortal spiritual energy, but also somewhat different. Compared to immortal spiritual energy, it seems to be of a lower level, but higher than the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth elemental energy). "What is this?" she sensed.

"Can I refuse?" Suddenly, a voice appeared in her head.

"I..." The little devil was startled. "Can you please stop being so jumpy? You're scaring me to death."

"This is chaotic energy, which concerns the very origin of the Douluo plane. Can you refuse their actions?" The voice of the plane's spiritual consciousness appeared.

"Huh? Isn't this low-level immortal energy?" The little devil was stunned.

"No, you perceive it as low-level because this energy is the foundation of immortal spiritual energy. If it can be further refined, it can become true immortal spiritual energy. However, it is actually the origin of our Douluo plane when it was born. Once you take away this origin, it is equivalent to shaking my very foundation." The statement from the plane's spiritual consciousness was somewhat alarming.

"Ah, really?" Qian Renxue was also startled, and then quickly reflected the aura emanating from the three immortal plants back.

"I can answer your question. These immortal items are imbued with the chaotic energy formed by the yin and yang harmonization of the Yin and yang of the Yin-Yang duality, which is why they evolved and grew so quickly. It is also this chaotic energy that caused them to lose their past memories after rebirth, because chaotic energy is a kind of energy from the beginning of the plane."

"Then why is Douluo's life core in the Star Dou Great Forest, and not here?"

"I can't explain this to you, because I was born after that. Perhaps this is what makes Douluo Star so special. It's considered the second origin of the Douluo Plane, and that's why Douluo Star is the origin planet of the Douluo God Realm."

"Okay." Qian Renxue nodded and returned the chaotic energy that the three immortal plants had fed her.

"But I didn't expect that a trace of the Chaos Seed would also appear in your body. These immortal items are ignorant; they must have sensed the similar auras within you and simply assumed that the Chaos Qi would be useful to you."

"Why can you sense what's inside me?" Qian Renxue frowned.

"Because you are too special. This Seed of Chaos appeared after you absorbed the soul ring of that Blue Silver Emperor, and I discovered it after you used the power of reincarnation." The voice of the dimensional spirit was calm, but it couldn't hide the disbelief in it. "This means that you may even be able to create your own plane in the future."

"Beyond your expectations?"

"If I hadn't evolved into a spiritual consciousness, but remained merely the subconscious of the plane, then during your battle against the authority of the Sea God, true plane suppression would have descended, even destroying you. Because your existence has already threatened the entire plane. Your arrival at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire this time may seem unintentional, but in reality, it was a vague sense that propelled you here."

Qian Renxue paused for a moment. This was what the little devil had said before: to prove the Dao through one's own actions.

However, just as the spiritual consciousness of the plane said, she did indeed arrive at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire because of a special, vague feeling.

She could sense the special nature of it, but the Douluo Continent was her home, so she would let it continue to exist instead of making any decision to seize the origin of this continent.

The last remaining question was answered: the special ability she had cultivated was called the Seed of Chaos.

Beneath the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire lies the soul of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, but in Douluo Continent IV, the Fire Dragon King seems to have perished in Dragon Valley. Therefore, we will not delve too much into the history of the dragon race here, and will simply gloss over it.

Otherwise, it would be wonderful if the Dragon Soul of the Fire Dragon King were refined and injected into the Angelic Realm. The fire dragon of the Angelic Fire Dragon Formation would take shape, and the little angels would ride on it. No matter how you look at it, it would be very majestic.
