Douluo Continent: The Phoenix God Returns

Chapter 48 Sendou-ryu's Escape Plan

After leaving Chrysanthemum Douluo's courtyard, Ye Li headed towards the Hall of Worship for the Angel God. After passing through a corridor, he arrived at the Hall of Worship and went straight inside.

"Ye Li? When did you return, Holy Maiden?" The Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, suddenly appeared in front of Ye Li and called out.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, you scared me to death! People really can scare each other to death. I only came back recently, and the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament is about to begin. I can't just not participate, can I?" Ye Li was startled when she saw the Second Elder suddenly appear in front of her, and said after calming herself down.

"Indeed. By the way, Holy Maiden, is there anything I can do for you at the Hall of Offerings today?" Golden Crocodile Douluo asked.

"I acquired some valuable items to enhance my strength during my travels, and that's why I came to deliver them as soon as I got back," Ye Li said, taking a golden fruit from her soul tool and placing it in Golden Crocodile Douluo's hand.

"Is this a Celestial Grade Golden Earthworm Melon?" Golden Crocodile Douluo curiously examined the object in his hand.

"That's right, this immortal product is called Golden Earth Dragon Melon, which happens to be of the same origin as your martial soul, Grandpa Golden Crocodile. Moreover, Grandpa Golden Crocodile has been stuck at the level 98 Title Douluo for a long time. I believe the Golden Earth Dragon Melon will definitely help you break through the bottleneck." Ye Li said with a smile.

"Indeed, it's quite good. I've also sensed the opportunity for my breakthrough. I'll take my leave now to prepare for seclusion. I won't leave until I break through my limit." Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Ye Li with satisfaction, and then prepared to leave.

Just then, Ye Li called out to Golden Crocodile Douluo and then took out several more immortal herbs from her soul tool and placed them in Golden Crocodile Douluo's hand.

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, these are divine items offered to the others to enhance their strength. I have already written down the instructions on how to take them. Please help me deliver them to the others."

"No trouble at all. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now." Golden Crocodile Douluo took the other immortal herbs and turned to leave.

"Why...why is everyone in such a hurry?" Ye Li couldn't help but rub her forehead and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, the voice of the Grand Elder Qian Daoliu entered Ye Li's mind, "Little Ali, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Come in and talk to me for a while."

"Grandpa Qian, is there anything I can help you with?" Ye Li asked Qian Daoliu as she entered the Angel Temple.

Qian Daoliu looked at Ye Li with an annoyance and said, "You brought things for them, what about mine?"

"Grandpa Qian, your strength is already at the Limit Douluo level, so those immortal herbs will have negligible effect on you." Ye Li smiled helplessly.

Seeing Ye Li's helpless expression, Qian Daoliu felt a pang of heartache. "Never mind, that's not what I want to ask you right now. What I want to ask you is, what are your thoughts on the Divine Examination?"

Ye Li organized her thoughts before speaking, "Whether it's the trials of the Angel God or the Sea God, they all have one thing in common: after the eighth trial, the representative of the god's position needs to sacrifice their life and all their cultivation, even their soul."

"You do have a very detailed understanding. That's right. After the eighth test, both Poseidon and I will face this problem. But I'm different. As long as Xiaoxue can become an angel god, my life is not worth losing." Qian Daoliu sighed and said.

"But Grandpa Qian, have you ever thought about what Qian Renxue is thinking?" Ye Li continued.

"To become a god, she personally caused the death of her own grandfather. Even if Qian Renxue becomes a god, her state of mind will be far from what it was before. What if a god who is superior appears on the continent at this time? I believe you and I both know the result."

"That was the only option available."

Qian Daoliu knew this all too well. Qian Renxue's parents died early, and Bibi Dong was not Qian Renxue's biological mother. He was the only family Qian Renxue had left. If he died, Qian Renxue would most likely collapse.

"Master Qian, since I have raised this question, I will naturally have a solution." As Ye Li spoke, he released the Nine-Colored Jade Phoenix Martial Soul. Six bright red soul rings under his feet shone one after another, and the phoenix mark on his forehead also showed a little luster.

"A divine test?" Qian Daoliu stared at Ye Li in shock, at the six 100,000-year soul rings beneath his feet.

"You're half right. My divine test is the Supreme God King's test, but my test only has one item: breaking through level 100. My soul power is already transforming into divine power. As for the divine succession that you only begin after your sacrifice, there is a solution in my inheritance." Ye Li smiled slightly as he spoke, and the Phoenix God Core slowly emerged from his chest.

"What solution?" Qian Daoliu only then noticed the phoenix pattern on Ye Li's chest. If he wasn't mistaken, this should be the solution.

"My method is to separate a portion of your soul, Grandpa Qian, and nurture it within my Phoenix God Core. This way, you'll have to make the necessary sacrifices, and I'll resurrect you afterward. It all depends on whether you trust me, Grandpa Qian," Ye Li said.

"Is it that simple?" Qian Daoliu looked at Ye Li with some doubt.

"It's that simple. By then, I might already be a god, or even the supreme god. Reviving someone through their soul would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?" Ye Li said.

"Alright, as you say, I will now split off a part of my soul."

As Qian Daoliu spoke, a small golden figure appeared on his chest. The golden figure looked very similar to Qian Daoliu. The next second, the golden figure split into two and shrank in size. After doing all this, Qian Daoliu was obviously a little weak, after all, this was splitting his soul.

Ye Li did not expect Qian Daoliu to be so decisive. She cut her finger and a drop of golden-red blood went directly into Qian Daoliu's body, where it quickly recovered. While Qian Daoliu was recovering, Ye Li absorbed one of the two golden figures into the core of the Phoenix God and nurtured it.

"Master Qian, in order for Qian Renxue to successfully complete the Angel God's test, we must not let Qian Renxue know about our conversation today," Ye Li said.

"Of course," Qian Daoliu said weakly.

"In order for Qian Renxue to become stronger in the future, you must not go easy on her during the assessment," Ye Li instructed.

"Fine." Qian Daoliu shook his head helplessly, his thoughts had been seen through by Ye Li.
