Douluo Continent: Naru Sacred Heart, Snow Shines Forever

The next day, just as dawn was breaking,

Before the mist at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire had completely dissipated, Chen Jieqi was already sitting cross-legged on the bluestone outside the house.

The Naru Heart between his brows glowed faintly, and pale golden holy light flowed along his meridians, accelerating his soul power cultivation.

Chen Jieqi was well aware of the dangers of this world, and knew it was a cannibalistic society.

Like the Holy Light Domain, the innate full-strength martial soul, and the soul ring that allows him to absorb souls of higher levels that he currently possesses.

Each one of them is enough to drive the entire continent crazy.

Before possessing sufficient power, even the slightest leak could lead to annihilation.

The Spirit Hall will not let go of a potential threat, and other forces will not tolerate the growth of an uncontrolled genius.

No matter how talented you are, it will take you ten or even twenty years to stand tall and look good on this continent.

Right now, I'm like a piece of fat meat placed among wolves, ready to be torn apart.

Without the ability to protect themselves, they are forced to join a faction or be assassinated; they have no other choice.

So while improving oneself, the key is to add a protective charm to oneself, and that choice is Dugu Bo.

Although Dugu Bo was jokingly called "the weakest Title Douluo,"

Even some powerful Contra players can fight him, and even remain undefeated or win the battle.

But even the weakest Title Douluo is still a Title Douluo, and that gives them a certain deterrent effect on rogue cultivators.

For some forces, they would not provoke Dugu Bo unless absolutely necessary.

Although he might not be able to defeat a Title Douluo, as long as he isn't killed in one blow,

So, the only ones he can defeat are Title Douluos. That's Dugu Bo's "deterrent power".

This is under the current circumstances; once Dugu Bo resolves the issue of the backlash from his martial soul, this "deterrent force" will be even greater.

......

After finishing his meditation and prayers that day, Chen Jieqi made up his mind to be honest with Dugu Bo:

"Grandpa, after my martial soul awakened, using the power of holy light to purify you did indeed slow down the spread of the toxins."

It can also alleviate your pain during an attack... but I still can't solve your underlying problem right now.

Dugu Bo's cloudy old eyes were full of composure as he sighed softly:

"Silly child, Grandpa already knew."

"This toxin has plagued me for decades, unlike that girl Yan Yan, whose toxin has only just entered her body and can still be slowly removed with your holy light."

Dugu Bo raised his withered hand, his knuckles tinged with a faint purple, a mark of poison penetrating deep into his bones.

"My martial spirit poison has long since seeped into my blood and seeped into the cracks of my bones."

Grandpa is already very satisfied that you can help me lengthen the intervals between backlashes and make me suffer less; I dare not ask for more.

Moreover, as your soul power increases, completely resolving Yan Yan's problem is only a matter of time.

If we can prevent her from following the same path as our Dugu family, then Grandpa will have done right by her deceased parents.

Chen Jieqi looked at the dejected Dugu Bo and learned from him that their family's rise and fall were both due to the Azure Serpent!

The Dugu family was already small in number, and due to the backlash of their martial souls, their lifespans were not long. By his generation...

After his daughter-in-law gave birth to Dugu Yan, both of them passed away early.

He, Dugu Bo, only evolved his martial soul into the Azure Serpent Emperor due to a fortuitous encounter.

Thus, he persevered to the point of becoming a Title Douluo.

However, he is currently focusing all his energy on his soul power and dares not increase it, for fear that he might accidentally unleash a complete explosion.

If it weren't for Dugu Yan needing care, she probably wouldn't have lasted that long, until she met Chen Jieqi and things improved.

Chen Jieqi gripped Dugu Bo's hand tightly, a confident glint in his eyes.

"Since your grandson has told you about this, there must be a way to resolve it completely."

"Sister Yan Yan, I will take good care of you from now on, but until we grow up, we still need your protection."

Chen Jieqi paused for a moment, then slowly said:

"The reason why your Azure Serpent Emperor Martial Soul's toxins spread as your soul power increases is fundamentally because the toxins produced by the Martial Soul have nowhere to be stored."

Furthermore, the fact that the soul rings you have chosen throughout your life all have poisonous properties has caused the poison to continuously intensify and spread.

Once you understand the root cause, the solution won't be difficult.

Dugu Bo suddenly looked up, hope rekindling in his eyes:

"Xiao Qi... do you really have a way?"

"Um."

Chen Jieqi nodded emphatically.

"Grandpa, the root of your problem is that the toxins have nowhere to be stored. There are two ways to solve this."

"The first thing is to find an external storage device—just like a snake's fangs or a scorpion's stinger, our soul masters' storage device is the soul bone."

Although the soul bone is fused with the body, it remains isolated, which is perfect for storing toxins. However, the storage capacity is limited and will eventually reach its limit as soul power increases.

Chen Jieqi changed the subject, a brighter light flashing in his eyes:

"But the second one is the fundamental solution. I remember that when you broke through to the Title Douluo level, you condensed a 'poison pill'."

"It contains the Azure Serpent King's primordial poison, and nearly half of your soul power, right?"

"Yes... that is the culmination of half a lifetime of cultivation, and also the source of the poison."

"Then turn it into a 'poison sac,' transform this pill into a sac specifically for storing poison."

From now on, any new toxins generated by the martial soul will automatically flow into the poison sac and will never backfire. This is the only way to solve the problem once and for all.

Dugu Bo looked at Chen Jieqi, his eyes filled with complex emotions:

"Xiaoqi, what you're saying is something your grandfather has thought about too."

But the toxin had already seeped deep into his bones. Grandpa had used most of his soul power to suppress it and prevent it from spreading, so how could he have the strength to guide and condense it?

If he's not careful, this poison pill will explode, and Grandpa won't even be able to keep his title as a Douluo..."

"So Grandpa, we need to rely on external help."

You've been guarding this precious land of ice and fire without even realizing it!

Most of the herbs growing along this lake are poisonous, but there are also many miraculous herbs that possess extraordinary medicinal properties.

Chen Jieqi listed them one by one, his tone resolute:

"Like this Qiluo Tulip, it can... Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum... Eight-cornered Xuanbing Grass, Wangchuan Qiushui Dew, etc., all have their own effects."

And this Hunyuan Immortal Herb is the most suitable for you.

Dugu Bo followed his gaze, his eyes filled with confusion:

"Primordial Immortal Herb?"

Grandpa had never heard of that name before.

"Its wonder lies not in enhancing soul power, but in 'condensation'."

Chen Jieqi stepped forward, his voice steady and powerful.

"It can help Soul Masters compress their internal Soul Power, solidify their foundation, and even condense a Soul Core."

Not only can it multiply the volume of soul power, but it can also condense free liquid soul power into independent crystals.

"And Grandpa, your own 'Poison Pill' is similar to the prototype of a soul core."

With the aid of consuming this Primordial Immortal Herb, it is entirely possible to condense a 'poison sac'.

This will not only resolve your martial spirit's hidden problems, but also allow you to take it a step further.

"Is...is this really okay?"

This is a bit too unbelievable. It's not that Grandpa doesn't believe you, it's just that where did you get this knowledge from?

Dugu Bo was suddenly surprised.

Chen Jieqi gazed at Dugu Bo's shocked face, slowly raised his hand, pointed to the night sky above, and spoke with a devout and earnest tone:

"Grandpa, this knowledge was told to me by the whispers in my mind during meditation and prayer."

He claimed to be the God of Light.

"A deity!?"

Dugu Bo suddenly took a step back, dumbfounded.

"You mean... divine inheritance?"

As one of the few titled Douluo on the mainland, and having traveled to many places,

Naturally, they know some secrets unknown to ordinary people, and gods are one of them. For example, the Spirit Hall has the lineage of gods.

"Yes, he calls himself the God of Light."

Chen Jieqi withdrew his hand, and the Naru Heart between his brows glowed slightly.

"I think the gods have no reason to lie to me."

"Okay! Okay!"

Dugu Bo stood there dumbfounded for a moment, then suddenly slapped his thigh and burst into wild laughter.

"My grandson truly has the potential to become a god!!!"

His laughter echoed through the mountain stream, making even the surrounding azure snake mist seem cheerful.

After a long while, Dugu Bo calmed down and spoke:

"Xiao Qi, what should Grandpa do?"
