Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 398 Frost Goddess

The group led by Purple Pearl were sailing this large ship to Purple Pearl Island to pick up a batch of seafood, which they planned to sell in major cities on the mainland. However, they encountered so-called pirates just a dozen miles out to sea.

Ye Liangchen told Zi Zhenzhu and the others to be careful, then activated his sword flight skill, taking Bibi Dong, Ying Mei, and Xiao Lan into the sky and flying towards the coast.

"The sect leader's strength is too great now."

Purple Pearl and her group looked up at Ye Liangchen as he flew, their eyes filled with admiration.

"Yes! I'm afraid even His Holiness the Pope is no match for the Pavilion Master now."

As a titled Douluo, Golden Eagle Douluo sensed that the aura emanating from Ye Liangchen was even more terrifying than that of Pope Bibi Dong.

"Elder Luo, does that mean our Sect Master is now at the pinnacle of the Soul Master world?"

Purple Pearl and the others recalled how Ye Liangchen had shattered a 30-meter-long ship with a single palm strike, which was simply like something out of a god.

"Indeed, Lord Pavilion Master has already reached the pinnacle of the Soul Master world."

"Let's go. Hopefully, we'll make it through safely."

Luo Hao nodded, then called on everyone to set sail and head towards the depths of the sea.

……

Ye Liangchen flew over the Hanhai City dock and landed on the roof of a tall building to observe the Tenglong fleet. Unexpectedly, he discovered a port in the distance with a huge sign with a picture of a swan on it. Twenty large ships were neatly moored in the port, but there seemed to be no staff at the port, only a group of soldiers with spears patrolling around.

"Godmother! When did that fleet appear there? And there's even an army patrolling there?"

Ye Liangchen asked Bibi Dong, and judging from the huge swan image, it was clearly a fleet from the Heavenly Dou Empire.

"Xiao Chen, this is a fleet established by the Heavenly Dou Empire a year ago. They saw how well our fleet transportation business was doing, so they also established a fleet to try and steal our business. However, we have already monopolized more than two-thirds of the fleet transportation business on the mainland, so they can't get any business at all."

"The Sky Douluo Tang Xiao came to see the Seal Douluo some time ago, saying that his grandfather Tang Chen was friends with Senior Poseidon, and hoped that Seagod Island could support the Heaven Dou Empire for Tang Chen's sake. Unexpectedly, the Seal Douluo completely ignored him and refused outright."

"Unable to secure business on Poseidon Island, the Empire's fleets spend most of their time idle in port and rarely move around."

Bibi Dong explained with a smile, a proud expression on her face.

"Tang Xiao thought that since Senior Tang Chen knew Senior Poseidon, Senior Poseidon would definitely support them. He was too arrogant."

Ye Liangchen found it very interesting to hear that Tang Xiao actually wanted to establish a relationship with Seagod Island. If it were in the past, given Poseidon's infatuation with Tang Chen, she might have supported him. But now Poseidon's infatuation had been transferred to herself. The fact that Haotian Sect wanted to establish a relationship with Seagod Island was simply wishful thinking.

"Yes, according to Su Lin, after Xiaotian Douluo Haoxiao was rejected by that Seal Douluo, his old face turned liver-colored, but he was helpless."

Bibi Dong didn't take the current Haotian Sect seriously at all. Although the other side had several Title Douluos, they only had one Super Douluo, Tang Xiao, and Tang Dachui was crippled, so they couldn't cause any trouble at all.

……

Ye Liangchen and his group entered Hanhai City and went directly to the Tenglong Shipping headquarters to meet with Su Lin and others.

Upon seeing Ye Liangchen and Bibi Dong arrive, Su Lin immediately handed over her work to her subordinates and then personally cooked a meal to warmly welcome them.

Ye Liangchen sensed Su Lin's soul power, which had reached the peak of level 94. It was quite impressive. Although this woman was a workaholic, she had not forgotten to cultivate. Unbeknownst to her, she was already close to entering the ranks of Super Douluo.

After spending some time with Su Lin, Cheng Qi, Seal Douluo, and others, Ye Liangchen inquired about the fleet's transportation situation. Seeing that everything was normal, he then left with Bibi Dong and headed towards Tianshui City.

Ye Liangchen didn't take the official road, but instead traveled directly through the towering mountains. Firstly, he was afraid that Xiao Lan might suddenly reveal her true form and frighten ordinary people. Secondly, he also had Yingmei carry him so he could lie down and sleep along the way, which was incredibly comfortable.

"Huff huff..."

Shadow Demon took off running, carrying Ye Liangchen and Bibi Dong swiftly through the towering mountains, moving at a speed almost like the wind.

"Swish..."

Little Blue also reverted to its original form and competed with Shadow Demon in speed.

Watching the two pet soul beasts compete against each other, Ye Liangchen found it particularly amusing and, without realizing it, fell asleep.

"How can you sleep like that?"

Bibi Dong saw Ye Liangchen lying sprawled on Yingmei's back, fast asleep, and a doting smile appeared on her face. Afraid that the little guy would fall off, she walked over and sat down beside him. Then she placed Ye Liangchen's head on her round thighs to make him more comfortable.

Bibi Dong's commotion woke Ye Liangchen up. When he opened his eyes, he found two mountain peaks blocking his view.

Good grief, you use this to test your cadres? Which cadre can withstand this kind of test?

Ye Liangchen mentally complained that these older beauties always liked to treat him like this, Bibi Dong and Poseidon were both like this, they all lusted after him.

"Xiao Chen, go back to sleep!"

When Bibi Dong saw that Ye Liangchen had woken up, she immediately reached out and covered his eyes, and gently massaged his temples to make him sleep peacefully.

"Godmother, how many tests have you completed so far?"

Bibi Dong's antics kept Ye Liangchen awake, so he got up and asked her about the divine test.

"I've been taking the assessment on and off for the past two years, and I've only completed six of them. That's because I don't need to increase my soul power; I only need to master the Asura Demon Sword and increase my affinity with divine power. As for the rewards, they've only increased the age of my soul rings a bit. Right now, I don't have a single purple soul ring."

Bibi Dong revealed the spirit rings of her two martial souls to Ye Liangchen.

"That's pretty good. The God of Asura is quite generous; he even increased the age of your soul rings."

Ye Liangchen recalled that in the original story, Bibi Dong underwent the Rakshasa God Test, and the reward was incredibly weak. Now, this woman's soul ring combination could be considered as protagonist treatment.

"What are your plans? Should we go straight to the City of Slaughter, or go back to Tianshui City first?" Bibi Dong inquired about Ye Liangchen's itinerary.

"Let's go back to Tianshui City first. I need to leave Yingmei and Xiaolan at Tenglong Pavilion."

"Regarding the purification of the Slaughter City, the Goddess of Life suggested that I call on Sister Xue. Angels and demons are incompatible, and with Sister Xue's help, I can purify the Slaughter City much faster."

Ye Liangchen returned to the mainland, so naturally he had to go back to Tenglong City first to tell Shui Lanxin and the others the good news that the Tianshui Girls' Group had all become Title Douluos, so that everyone could be happy.

"Okay! I'll do as you say."

"Xiaoxue is currently undergoing her sixth test and has reached level 92, but she is still a bit behind Bing'er and the others."

Bibi Dong initially thought Qian Renxue's leveling speed was quite fast, but after arriving at Seagod Island and seeing that Shui Bing'er and Jin Ling'er had all become Super Douluo, she suddenly felt that Qian Renxue was nothing special.

"In other words, Sister Xue has already completed five tests and only has a soul power of level 92. So, even if she completes the next six, seven, or eight tests, her soul power will only be level 95. Even if she fuses with the Angelic Divine Armor Soul Bone, her soul power probably won't reach level 99."

When Ye Liangchen heard that Qian Renxue's current soul power was only level 92, he immediately felt that it wasn't very good. In the original story, Qian Daoliu also sacrificed himself to Qian Renxue so that she could barely complete the Angel God's inheritance.

Sure enough, without his help and without any special advantages, the woman's strength improved more slowly.

"As you said, Xiaoxue has fused three soul bones, leaving only three. I estimate that after completing the first eight trials, her soul power will be at most level 98. However, what makes me feel gratified is that her eighth soul ring has also absorbed a 100,000-year soul ring."

"It's all her fault for delaying things so much in the past."

Bibi Dong thought of Qian Renxue, who had innate level 20 soul power, a higher starting point than everyone else, but was delayed by that stupid undercover mission back then.

"It's alright. If she doesn't have enough soul power, I'll help her out."

Ye Liangchen wasn't worried about Qian Renxue's soul power. As long as the woman could cultivate her soul power to the peak of level 97 or 98 before inheriting the divine position, he would directly help her get a soul core and a Nine-Star Spirit Gathering Array to speed up her soul power cultivation. If that didn't work, he could simply use the Hunyuan Technique to refine the divine power in the Angel Temple and transfer it to Qian Renxue. It wouldn't be a big problem.

In this world, the cultivation of Soul Masters is simply a process of accumulating energy. As long as there is enough energy, the Soul Power will increase rapidly.

"Xiao Chen, do you have any other way to help Xiao Xue increase her soul power?"

When Bibi Dong saw that Ye Liangchen had a solution, she was incredibly excited, and her beautiful eyes revealed a curious look.

"We'll see when the time comes!"

Ye Liangchen kept everyone in suspense, saying that everything would have to wait until Qian Renxue completed her eighth test.

"You! You're keeping secrets from me?"

Bibi Dong gave Ye Liangchen a charmingly disdainful look, then hugged him tightly, burying his face in her broad chest as a small punishment.

"Tell me quickly! I can't wait!"

Bibi Dong found it particularly amusing to see the little guy blushing from being sullen, and felt a strange thrill in her heart.

"Okay! I'll tell you."

"If Sister Xue doesn't have enough soul power by then, I'll do this... this..."

Ye Liangchen had no choice but to surrender and quickly explained his thoughts, otherwise who knows what this woman might do next.

"Pfft...!"

"I knew you'd have a way with things."

Bibi Dong smiled sweetly. Sure enough, her gentle approach was quite effective on this little guy. Now she no longer had to worry about Qian Renxue's soul power.

"Nana told me that the Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array you set up was incredibly magical. Could you set one up for me this time? That way, my little apprentice's cultivation will progress much faster."

Bibi Dong thought that Ye Liangchen's various magical abilities might have been passed on to the little guy in a dream by the white-bearded old man, so she asked Ye Liangchen to set up a Nine-Star Spirit Gathering Array in her Papal Manor.

"no problem."

Ye Liangchen nodded and said that after returning to Tenglong Pavilion, he planned to build a Nine-Star Spirit Gathering Array in the small forest where the old man Lan Yinhuang lived. With a super-simulated cultivation environment and a spirit gathering array, it would definitely become a true cultivation holy land.

……

Two days later, Ye Liangchen and Bibi Dong returned to the outskirts of Tenglong City.

"Master, is this your Tenglong City?"

Yingmei and Xiaolan stood atop the tree, looking at the beautiful city in front of them. It felt like a garden city, absolutely stunning.

Today, Tenglong City is half the size of Tianshui City, with a much larger population. It boasts a dazzling array of shops, bustling streets, and a vibrant atmosphere.

"Yes! This is my Tenglong City. What do you think?" Ye Liangchen nodded.

"It's so beautiful." Shadow and Little Blue nodded.

"Then you'll have to help Xiaochen protect this city from now on."

Bibi Dong looked at Yingmei and Xiaolan with a smile. With these two divine beasts guarding Tenglong City, it would definitely be prestigious.

"That's natural. Protecting our master's city is protecting our homeland."

Xiao Lan and Ying Mei firmly clenched their fists. As Ye Liangchen's pets, they had to protect their master.

Ye Liangchen closed his eyes and released his divine sense to test the distance from here to Tenglong Pavilion, which was about 10,000 meters.

Space travel

He then summoned his martial soul and activated the Space Dragon King's teleportation skill, preparing to land the three of them directly on the roof of Tenglong Pavilion, and also to test the reaction ability of Ye Cailan and the other titled Douluo.

"Sizzle..."

As the green-gold spirit rings lit up, a spatial passage suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Is this a spatial skill?"

Bibi Dong stared at the spatial passage in front of her with her beautiful eyes, feeling incredulous.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen casually waved his hand, directly bringing the three of them into the spatial passage.

"Sizzle..."

A short while later, a spatial passage appeared above the roof of Tenglong Pavilion, and Ye Liangchen and his group walked out from it and landed on the roof of Tenglong Pavilion.

"Xiao Chen, you're amazing!"

Bibi Dong felt that the distance from the outskirts to Tenglong Pavilion was at least tens of thousands of meters. This little guy used a spatial teleportation skill to take everyone away such a distance in just a few moments. It was simply amazing.

Xiao Lan was the same; he was completely petrified at this moment. He had never experienced this kind of spatial travel before.

"Calm down, this is just one of Master's million-year soul skills."

Yingmei looked at Bibi Dong with a smile, sighing that this woman was really ignorant.

"Swish..."

Just then, several powerful auras swept towards the top of Tenglong Pavilion.

"Whoosh..."

Then they saw Ye Cailan, Dugu Bo, Ling Yuan, Ye Suling, and Bai He flying towards the rooftop.

"Hello everyone." Ye Liangchen waved to the crowd.

"Xiao Chen? His Holiness the Pope?"

"Why are you here?"

Ye Cailan and the others were overjoyed to see Ye Liangchen and Bibi Dong arrive.

"Whoosh..."

"Xiao Chen, you didn't even let us know you were coming back. We thought some powerful enemy had arrived."

Ye Cailan flashed to Ye Liangchen's side and found that the little guy exuded an otherworldly aura, and his strength was unfathomable, making him even more charming.

At this moment, Ye Cailan really wanted to pull this little guy into the room and do some things that a personal secretary likes to do.

"It's been a while, and you've all gotten even stronger."

Bibi Dong didn't expect that even though Ye Liangchen used his space-travel skill to quietly descend to the top of Tenglong Pavilion, he was still discovered by these titled Douluo. It seems that everyone's reaction ability is quite fast.

"Your Holiness, if it weren't for the old man Blue Silver Emperor sensing the powerful aura of a soul beast, we wouldn't even know a powerful expert had arrived!"

"Xiao Chen, aren't you going to introduce the two powerful individuals beside you?"

Dugu Bo, Ling Yuan, and Ye Suling stared at the woman in black and the blue-haired man beside Ye Liangchen with curious expressions. The aura emanating from the man and woman was incredibly terrifying, yet different from that of humans.

"My name is Shadow Demon. My true form is a 100,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. As you all probably know, the big tiger that appeared in Star Luo City a few years ago was me."

"My name is Xiao Lan, and my true form is a 100,000-year-old orchid-scaled dragon."

"We are all our master's pets, and it is our honor to be able to follow him."

Before Ye Liangchen could speak, Yingmei and Xiaolan introduced themselves to everyone and reverted to their original forms. After all, these powerful individuals were all family members of their master, so it was natural for them to let everyone see their true forms.

"My God! This...this is huge!"

Dugu Bo, Ling Yuan, and the others gasped as they looked at Ying Mei and Xiao Lan's enormous bodies.

"ah…"

Ye Cailan sensed the evil aura emanating from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and her entire delicate body trembled involuntarily. She quickly grabbed Ye Liangchen's hand tightly.

Ye Cailan, who was once a Blue Silver Emperor Soul Beast, instinctively felt fear when she saw the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, an evil Soul Beast.

"Sister Lan, don't be afraid. This tigress is my pet. She won't hurt anyone."

Feeling that Ye Cailan's hand was sweating as she gripped his, Ye Liangchen quickly used his soul to tell her not to worry.

"Xiao Chen, I know."

Ye Cailan responded, then looked up at the tigress beside her. She indeed did not sense any malice, and then remembered that the other party was also Ye Liangchen's pet, just like her. The fear in her heart immediately vanished.

"Change back! During the day, you must not reveal your true forms, lest you scare others." Ye Liangchen gestured for the two soul beasts to transform quickly.

"Yes, Master!"

After receiving Ye Liangchen's instructions, Yingmei and Xiaolan lit up with light and then transformed into human form.

"Shadow Demon's strength is equivalent to a level 97 peak Douluo, and Little Blue's strength is close to level 96. They can temporarily transform into human form. I plan to have them, along with Old Man Blue Silver, become the guardian beasts of Tenglong City."

Ye Liangchen introduced the true strength of the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts to everyone.

"Hiss! With this, our Tenglong Pavilion now has two more Super Douluo."

When Dugu Bo and the others learned that the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts were actually so powerful, they were immediately shocked.

"Elder Baihe, go to Tianshui Sect and call Aunt Lan and the others here." Ye Liangchen did not see Shui Lanxin and the others, so he immediately sent Baihe to Tianshui Sect to report the news.

"Yes, Master."

"Whoosh..."

The old man with the white crane summoned his martial spirit, which transformed into a swift with a pointed tail, and instantly disappeared from everyone's sight.

A few minutes later, Shui Lanxin, Shui Lanyue, Shui Lingfeng, Mu Qingxue and other female Douluo arrived at Tenglong Pavilion.

Ye Liangchen discovered that his teachers, An Qi and Li Suyan, had also become Title Douluos, having absorbed the divinely bestowed soul rings that Ye Liangchen had given them before. Their ninth soul ring was also 100,000 years old.

After chatting with Bibi Dong for a while, Shui Lanxin invited everyone to prepare a banquet to celebrate the arrival of Pope Bibi Dong. They should treat her well.

"You brat, you've been gone for over three years! We've missed you so much..."

The Shui sisters, Shui Lanxin and Shui Lingfeng, came to the balcony where Ye Liangchen was and surrounded the little guy, asking him how he was feeling.

"Is there something important that the Pope personally went to Poseidon Island to bring you back?"

The mother and her two daughters reached out and ruffled Ye Liangchen's hair, all looking on with curiosity.

"My seventh test is to purify the evil forces within the City of Slaughter... After completing this test, I must return to Seagod Island to complete the eighth test."

"Now, Sister Bing'er, Sister Yue'er, and Ling'er have all completed their seventh test. After they complete their eighth test, I will take everyone back to the mainland. It won't take more than half a year."

"Aunt Lan, Aunt Yue, Grandma, please be patient and wait a few months!"

Ye Liangchen told his three family members about his schedule and told them not to worry.

"Oh, I see!"

"Xiao Chen, there's no need to rush. Your assessment is more important."

Although Shui Lanxin and Shui Lingfeng also wanted to see those girls, they knew that this matter couldn't be rushed.

"Aunt Lan, what's that mark on your forehead? Did you receive a divine inheritance?"

Suddenly, Ye Liangchen noticed a snowflake-like mark on Shui Lanxin's forehead and was very surprised, as this was clearly a divine inheritance.

"You're right. A few days ago, I received a divine inheritance called Frost Goddess, a level two god. She also told me to go to a secret realm in the Frozen Forest three months later to begin my divine trial."

Shui Lanxin couldn't understand how she could be so lucky. She was almost 60 years old, yet she was still favored by God. It was as if a pie had fallen from the sky and hit her.

"Aunt Lan, now the gods are starting to run away. All my companions have received divine inheritances... Sister Bing'er received the inheritance of the Water God, and she's even a first-level god. After that, I'll get her the inheritance of the Ice God, so Sister Bing'er will have two godhoods."

Ye Liangchen told Shui Lanxin to calm down, saying that the inheritance of divine positions was now commonplace and not a big deal.

"My God! This is unbelievable." The mother and her two daughters were stunned when they heard that the inheritance of divine positions was now commonplace.

"Goddess, is the Frost Goddess a deity who controls the ice element?"

Ye Liangchen used his soul to awaken the divine consciousness of the Goddess of Life, wanting to ask what this Frost Goddess was.

"The Frost Goddess comes from a plane called the Snow and Wind Continent. She does indeed possess ice elemental abilities. The former Ice God has fallen, and later our God Realm invited the Frost Goddess to enter the God Realm. However, her strength is far inferior to that of the former Ice God."

"The Frost Goddess is a subordinate of the Water God. Since Shui Bing'er inherited the position of Water God, it's not bad that her mother inherited the position of Frost Goddess."

When the Goddess of Life heard the name of the Goddess of Frost, she immediately thought of a second-level deity under the Water God. That woman always had an icy expression on her face, truly living up to her name.

Through Ye Liangchen's perception, the Goddess of Life learned that Shui Bing'er's mother was less than 60 years old, yet her soul power was as high as level 98. To be honest, inheriting only a second-level godhood was a bit low.
