Douluo Continent: Half-level Innate Realm, but a Sword Cultivator with a Heart-Only Mind

Chapter 197 Qian Daoliu condenses his soul core, his arrangements for Dugu Yan, and the Heartbreaking Red of Longing.

Just as undercurrents were surging within the Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall...

Inside the Elder Hall, a golden pillar of light shot into the sky, emanating a sacred and majestic aura that enveloped the entire city and swept across all directions.

The clouds in the sky were all dyed gold.

Within Wuhun City, in every street and alley, countless Soul Masters stopped and looked up at the palace standing tall in the city center.

At first, they were shocked by this amazing phenomenon, but then they knelt down and worshipped it.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted.

"The angels have appeared!"

In an instant, cheers erupted, shouting, "Long live the angels!"

Of course, literally saying "Long live the angel god" seems to imply a curse upon the angel god.

But in the minds of ordinary people, "Long live" is the most revered phrase they can think of.

Inside the Papal Palace!

Bibi Dong's face turned grim when she heard the roaring voices erupting from Wuhun City.

But what made her feel even more uneasy was undoubtedly the terrifying aura emanating from the Elder Hall.

This aura has already surpassed the limits of a peerless Douluo.

Thinking of this, she felt a chill and murmured softly.

"Is that old man about to take his final step?"

Clearly, Bibi Dong was unaware that Qian Daoliu, as the Grand Priest of the Hall of Offerings and the High Priest of the Angels, was incapable of becoming a god.

That's why, after sensing the aura that Qian Daoliu was unleashing, they suspected that he was about to take the final step.

Meanwhile, throughout the Elders' Hall.

The group of Title Douluos from the Spirit Hall, who were in deep cultivation, awoke from their meditative state and sensed the sacred and majestic aura between heaven and earth. Their thoughts were the same as Bibi Dong's; they all believed that Qian Daoliu was about to take the final step.

Many elders who had already sided with Bibi Dong secretly regretted their actions, beating their chests and stamping their feet in frustration.

If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have accepted Bibi Dong's advances in the first place.

Compared to them, the few protectors of Qiandaoliu seemed much calmer.

Because they all knew the inside story, they knew that Qian Daoliu had not taken the step of becoming a god, but had only condensed a soul core.

However, they were still shocked.

The mere condensation of a soul core has caused such a huge commotion.

The strange phenomenon above the Elder Hall lasted for half an hour before gradually dissipating.

When the palace gates opened again, Qian Daoliu slowly walked out of the palace, and the six elders, led by Golden Crocodile Douluo, immediately surrounded him.

"Big brother!"

They shouted in unison.

Qian Daoliu smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Golden Crocodile laughed heartily and patted his chest.

"Protecting my elder brother is no hardship at all."

The others laughed and echoed their agreement.

Qian Daoliu said, "I have already condensed my first soul core. In my opinion, as long as you reach the Title Douluo level, the difficulty of condensing your first soul core is not that high."

"I will tell you the secret to condensing your soul cores later. You each condensed your soul cores one by one."

"If the process goes smoothly, once you condense your soul cores, you might be able to take this opportunity to reach a higher level."

Upon hearing this, the other retainers exclaimed with delight, "Brother, is this true?"

"I've experienced it myself, how could it be false?"

Qian Daoliu chuckled lightly, then looked at the golden crocodile as he spoke.

"Second brother, you've been stuck at level 98 for decades. Maybe you can break through to the Peerless Douluo level by taking advantage of the opportunity to condense a soul core."

Upon hearing this, Golden Crocodile Douluo's burly body trembled slightly with excitement.

He never imagined that he would have the opportunity to break through to the Peerless Douluo level in his lifetime.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Qian Daoliu was also very pleased.

Because once all six of them have condensed their soul cores, the strength of the Spirit Hall will surely reach a new level.

Especially the sixth and seventh sons.

If the two of them can break through to level 97 after condensing their soul cores, then with their martial soul fusion skill, even if Golden Crocodile breaks through to level 99, he might not be a match for the two brothers.

Once they have all condensed their soul cores, I will be able to continue working on condensing my second soul core.

Heavenly Dou City!

Besides digesting the energy of the Ten Thousand Years of Profound Ice Marrow within his body, Qi Dao also spends more of his free time with Dugu Yan.

Compared to before, Qi Dao is now undoubtedly more relaxed and carefree.

This is also related to his own circumstances.

Back then, his innate soul power was low, and even though he devoted all his time to cultivation, he couldn't compare to those top geniuses.

But he wasn't just a machine that only knew how to cultivate.

Once he possessed the talent and power to almost control the situation, he naturally wanted to spend more time with his family and friends.

His parents, Dugu Yan, Qian Renxue, Dugu Bo, and several of his old friends from Notting College.

Among these people, his parents had consumed the immortal herb years ago, and over the years, their level had reached the Soul King realm.

Since Dugu Yan absorbed her sixth soul ring, her level has only increased by one.

However, Qi Dao had other plans for her. He intended to let her consume the Acacia Heartbreak Red after she had completely digested the medicinal power of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon that had accumulated in her body and absorbed the seventh soul ring.

Some time ago, Qi Dao and Dugu Yan went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

There, Dugu Yan's feelings for him were successfully recognized by the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

The Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red is a divine treasure among immortal herbs. If it is recognized and consumed, it will surely bring endless benefits to Dugu Yan.

Most importantly, as a neutral medicinal herb, Acacia Heartbreak Red does not have strong medicinal conflicts with Earthworm and Golden Melon. In addition, Acacia Heartbreak Red has already recognized Dugu Yan, so the risk of her taking Acacia Heartbreak Red will be much smaller.

Once Dugu Yan takes the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, and given that the Sea God is eager to pass on his divine position, the probability of him recognizing Dugu Yan will be much higher.

As for Dugu Bo...

He was busy breaking through to level 97 during this period.

After Tang Hao died, he was given a piece of his 70,000-year-old torso bone.

So even though he absorbed that 70,000-year-old torso bone, he still didn't break through to level 97.

However, this soul bone was still of great help to him, at least saving him several years of arduous cultivation.

Finally, there were Qi Dao's other friends, Ye Lingling and Xiao Chenyu.

Ye Lingling broke through level 50 some time ago.

Since Qi Dao placed Xiao Chenyu and the others in the Heaven Dou Academy, they have been cultivating diligently, which makes Qi Dao feel gratified.

But while things were peaceful and uneventful for him, the situation in the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Four Great Kingdoms was becoming increasingly dire.

Despite the internal strife and widespread discontent within the four kingdoms led by Barak, the four kings still formed a four-kingdom alliance and managed to assemble a coalition army of 1.2 million within three months, while publicly declaring a force of 3 million.

After assembling an army of 1.2 million, the four-nation alliance marched towards Jialing Pass.
