"The Star Crown Family. It's a very mysterious family. Rumor has it that they possess a unique divination ability, always managing to become trendsetters in the changing times. But soon, they will retire after achieving their goals, the entire family going into seclusion, quietly waiting for the next opportunity to emerge."

Qian Daoliu took a deep look at the depths of the Ice God Mountain Range. If the records of the Grand Elders of the Spirit Hall throughout the ages were correct, then a super spirit beast from ancient times was hidden deep within the Ice God Mountain Range.

Similarly, the Spirit Hall's Grand Elder's Inheritance Manual also contains only fragmentary and secret records about the Star Dou Great Forest, the largest spirit beast forest on the continent. On the surface, it seems that only two or three 100,000-year-old spirit beasts guard the Star Dou Great Forest? However, the Spirit Hall's successive Grand Elders and even the Pope at his peak never lingered in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Although the existence of super soul beasts from ancient times in those secret records is just speculation, the appearance of an ultimate soul beast that is 990,000 years old in the deep sea on Seagod Island makes it not impossible for an ultimate soul beast to appear on the mainland.

The previous Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall only confirmed the existence of the ancient Ice and Snow Lord in the far north, and the existence of the Star Dou Great Forest was merely a conjecture. However, the current Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu, has no doubt about the existence of these ultimate spirit beasts from ancient times.

After all, it was only with Qian Daoliu that the Spirit Hall came into contact with Seagod Island and learned about the purely heaven-defying creature, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

"Why are you asking this? Oh, I see." Qian Daoliu, who was traveling through the blizzard, was about to ask Chen Hong, but soon realized what was going on.

"The Star Crown family has deceived everyone," Qian Daoliu said.

"Hmm?" Chen Hong, who was being held by Qian Daoliu and flying rapidly through the blizzard, frowned slightly and looked at Qian Daoliu, waiting for him to continue.

In the frigid high sky, the aura of a thousand streams unfolded without any hesitation, transforming into a dazzling golden flash that instantly traversed countless glaciers.

"In all my years, I've never heard of a Star Crown family having a legitimate daughter marry out of the family. The excuse they gave was that the Seven Star Sword and the Star Crown might be destined for each other. This reason was very good and successfully shut everyone up, because in the public's perception, the Seven Star Sword really seemed to be very compatible with the Star Crown. People from all the major forces and families wanted to see what kind of mutated martial soul the Seven Star Sword and the Star Crown could create."

Aside from the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, who always emphasized the purity of bloodlines, the other sects have been secretly conducting martial soul hybridization experiments. However, due to the high risk and uncontrollability of martial soul mutations, the effects of martial soul mutations in many sects are not obvious, and therefore they are not very well-known.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Seven Star Sword Martial Soul is actually quite famous among Martial Soul mutations, but because this top-tier Martial Soul has its upper limit locked, it doesn't really stand out.

Just as people always like to talk about the first place, but subconsciously forget the second place, the Seven Star Sword, which is neither the best nor the worst, is in such an awkward situation.

However, Soul Master factions with a broader perspective will pay more attention to the Seven Star Sword Martial Soul. For example, they might wonder if the Seven Star Sword can mutate with the Star Crown Martial Soul to create a more powerful Star Martial Soul, or become weaker?

People of all ages and genders on the Douluo Continent are very interested in the concept of Martial Souls.

For example, many ordinary people know that the awakening of martial spirits has little to do with them, but they still like to join in the fun.

Hoping one's son will become a dragon is one aspect, but another aspect is that the awakening of martial souls is also the simplest and most straightforward form of paternity testing in the Douluo Continent.

When Chen Hong awakened his martial soul, Chen Lin was stunned for a while before realizing that this pure spiritual martial soul was probably caused by an injury Chen Hong sustained during his fetal development, which resulted in the loss of his martial soul.

"But in reality, they used the excuse of the Starry Sky Martial Soul to cover up their secret entry into the world." Qian Daoliu's eyes flashed as he quickly traversed the blizzard.

"Astrology? I see." Upon hearing the rather mystical term "astrology," Chen Hong's face, contrary to his usual expression, flashed with a look of understanding.

"Looks like I need to make some time to visit the Star Crown Family and get to know their leader," Chen Hong murmured to himself.

All mysterious and extraordinary technologies are always expressed through some kind of abstract representation. The astrological divination of the Star Crown family undoubtedly piqued Chen Hong's interest.

"Senior, we're almost there. I can sense the traces of soul power left by the fluctuations of the star's soul power."

High above the snow-covered glaciers, Chen Hong, whose arm was being held by Qian Daoliu, emitted invisible spiritual fluctuations from his bandaged eyes. All the soul power fluctuations within a spherical domain of ten kilometers were within Chen Hong's spiritual perception.

As a spirit-specialized Soul Master, Chen Hong's spiritual power is comparable to the ultimate spiritual power. In terms of the range of spiritual power perception, Chen Hong, whose spiritual level is only eighty-four, has already surpassed Qian Daoliu, who is not particularly skilled in spiritual power. Furthermore, with the blessing of the Black Lotus Soul Eye, Chen Hong's spiritual perception in observing traces of soul power fluctuations surpasses that of all mortals in the world today.

As Chen Hong used the Black Lotus Soul Eye more and more skillfully, he no longer experienced the brain-crashting issues he had at the beginning. Because of his deeper research into soul mechanics, Chen Hong was able to selectively restrict the objects observed by the Black Lotus Soul Eye. For example, he had now set his 'search engine' to be limited to stellar soul power, allowing him to accurately search for the soul power information he wanted amidst the myriad phenomena of heaven and earth.

This is an ability that was previously unattainable, because Chen Hong lacked observational data on various attribute soul powers and lacked corresponding concepts or 'terms', so this must be a gradual process.

Black Lotus Engine entry changed: Soul Power Factor!

hum!

In the pitch-black, void of the extraordinary vision, icy blue lights began to flicker again in the distance, like tiny, dazzling flames.

"A large amount of life energy has been detected. Judging from the wave pattern, it should be the Ice Jade Scorpion, which is rumored to have the ultimate ice potential. Senior, prepare for armed negotiation." In the vast white blizzard, Chen Hong suddenly pointed to a certain spot on the glacier below and said calmly to Qian Daoliu.

In this icy and snowy landscape, the Ice Jade Scorpions' formidable environmental camouflage abilities seemed utterly laughable under Chen Hong's mental perception.

Because no matter how they disguise themselves or adapt, the soul power factors within them must constantly interact with external soul power particles, or they need to nourish the soul power factors with life energy, thus making the soul power factors a kind of life fluctuation.
