Douluo Continent: Reborn as Qin Ming, starting by joining the Spirit Hall

Chapter 180 Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent

"A better option?"

Qian Daoliu looked at Qin Ming with some confusion.

"Qin Ming, you don't mean to go to Seagod Island to demand a divinely bestowed soul ring, do you?"

That's not necessarily a bad thing...

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu glanced at the Vast Ocean Universe Cover beside Qin Ming, which had lost its divine power.

Noticing Qian Daoliu's gaze, Qin Ming also remembered this precious treasure that he had left aside.

He had completely ignored the Vast Ocean Universe Cover because he was receiving information from the Divine Test.

After clearing his throat, Qin Ming reached out and picked up the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

"Your Majesty, there is no such thing as a high-ranking official."

I already refused the Sea God's inheritance, so how could I possibly ask for his divinely bestowed soul ring now?

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, Qian Daoliu coughed lightly.

"Qin Ming, that's not how it's said."

Previously, when the Sea God left, he specifically instructed you to send the Vast Ocean Universe Cover back to Sea God Island.

You've done this for the Sea God, and I believe he'll reward you in some way.

"It shouldn't be too difficult for you to request a much-needed, divinely bestowed spirit ring."

Qin Ming raised an eyebrow, understanding the meaning behind Qian Daoliu's words.

The sea god's divine will did not dissipate, but simply returned to the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.

Qian Daoliu deliberately spoke these things so bluntly to Qin Ming, and the Sea God's divine sense could hear it.

By saying this, he was essentially putting the sea god on the hot seat.

When Qin Ming actually sends the Vast Ocean Universe Cover back to Seagod Island, the Seagod's divine sense probably won't be too embarrassed to leave without giving anything in return...

Thinking of this, Qin Ming smiled and shook his head.

"Your Excellency, I will return the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, but there's no rush now."

The better option I'm referring to isn't a divinely bestowed soul ring.

As he spoke, Qin Ming recalled the Sea God's test that Tang San and his companions underwent in the original novel.

After cleverly completing the fifth test, the Shrek Seven Devils faced a significantly increased difficulty level during the sixth test.

Taking shortcuts in the divine examination is not a particularly good approach.

At the same time, Qin Ming was also very clear about the soul rings obtained through the divinely bestowed soul ring plant.

Even if it has reached the level of 100,000 years, this spirit ring only has one spirit skill.

This is not a particularly good option.

The evil god actually demanded that Qin Ming obtain a 100,000-year-level soul ring.

Therefore, Qin Ming naturally needs to obtain a normal 100,000-year soul ring that can grant a soul master two soul skills.

Just as Qin Ming was pondering, Qian Daoliu's voice rang out again.

"Qin Ming, even though I had already arranged for a small number of people to collect information about fire-attribute soul beasts long ago."

However, it has been almost a year.

Those intelligence agents did manage to find some fire-attribute soul beasts that were around 80,000 to 90,000 years old.

However, they haven't even seen a single 100,000-year-old fire-attribute soul beast.

With that, Qian Daoliu sighed.

"Qin Ming, it's really difficult for you to find a fire-attribute soul beast that perfectly matches your martial soul."

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming shook his head.

"Your Excellency, I actually have other options."

Have you seen any information about Killing City?

The soul beasts I need exist inside…

Upon hearing Qin Ming mention the City of Slaughter, Qian Daoliu quickly stepped forward and grabbed Qin Ming's wrist.

"Qin Ming, the City of Slaughter is a kingdom of fallen beings. There are no soul beasts there!"

Also, you can't go to that place; let's not even talk about how dangerous it is.

It will take at least one to two years to get out of the killing city.

Furthermore, after leaving the City of Slaughter, it will take at least one to two years to erase its influence.

As he spoke, Qian Daoliu glanced at the scale mark on Qin Ming's forehead.

"Qin Ming, you already have the Divine Test, there's no need to waste your time there."

While successfully escaping the City of Slaughter will grant you a talent domain, it will affect your progress in the Divine Trial.

This is a losing proposition.

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming shook his head at Qian Daoliu.

"Your Excellency, I did not say that I would comply with the demands of the City of Slaughter."

Achieving a hundred-game winning streak step by step before tackling the hellish road is not what I want.

After a pause, Qin Ming added.

"Your Excellency, within the last thousand years, only six people have successfully escaped from the City of Slaughter."

Two of these six people are from our Spirit Hall.

They also left intelligence for our Spirit Hall.

The information left behind by the two mentioned that they had both encountered a snake-like soul beast blocking their way when they were traversing the Hell Road.

Based on the characteristics of the soul beasts described in the intelligence.

I believe that special serpentine spirit beast is actually an ancient mythical creature, the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent…”

At this point, Qin Ming's eyes flickered slightly as he recalled the benefits Ma Hongjun had gained after refining the inner core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.

By absorbing just one inner core, Ma Hongjun not only obtained a seventh soul ring with attributes equivalent to a 100,000-year level, but also...

He also completed the evolution of his martial soul and awakened a talent domain...

Just as Qin Ming was pondering, Qian Daoliu murmured something.

"Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpents?"

Qian Daoliu rested his chin on his hand and began to try to recall the martial spirit knowledge he had learned before.

After pondering for a while, Qian Daoliu still couldn't find any information about the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.

Just as Qian Daoliu was deep in thought, Qin Ming interrupted his train of thought once again.

"Your Majesty, the High Priest, according to the information in the scriptures."

No soul ring will be generated after the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, but the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent will leave behind its inner core.

That inner core is the same as the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower Immortal Grass I consumed; both are extremely yang substances.

After a pause, Qin Ming added.

"I also possess some of the Blue Silver Emperor's primal power."

Based on my deduction, after using that inner core and burning away the Blue Silver Emperor's original power, I should be able to obtain a 100,000-year-level soul ring.

At the same time, my martial spirit may also be able to evolve again.

Therefore, I am determined to obtain the inner core of this Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent!

Upon hearing Qin Ming's words, Qian Daoliu's expression also turned serious.

"Qin Ming, are you sure?"

What if you fail to obtain a soul ring after absorbing that inner core?

Or, what if the quality of the spirit ring you obtain is less than 100,000 years?

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming pointed to himself.

"Your Majesty, even in the worst-case scenario."

It doesn't matter that I only obtained a soul ring of less than 100,000 years quality after absorbing the inner core of that ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent.

After absorbing that inner core, it won't be difficult for me to quickly increase my soul power by two or three levels.

At my current cultivation speed, even if I stop absorbing any more soul bones, it will only take me about a year to break through to the Soul Saint level.

The evil god's requirement for me is to complete at least the first seven tests within six years.

I should still have some room for error...

The part about the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent can be considered a secondary interpretation.

I made a mistake when I was writing the outline; I wrote the attribute equivalent to a 100,000-year soul ring as a 100,000-year soul ring.

I only went back and checked yesterday after seeing a fellow reader's reminder, and found that I had made a mistake.

However, the outline was written out sequentially and couldn't be changed.

So a temporary patch was made here, using the essence of the Blue Silver Emperor to make up for it, ultimately resulting in a 100,000-year soul ring.
