Douluo Dalu II: The Peerless Tang Sect

Chapter 126 The Doctrine of Faith!

Qian Lingyi wanted to say something more, but she found that her grandmother had already returned with the saber-toothed light wolf in her hand.

"Grandma," she called out obediently as she went to greet her.

"Hehe~ Let's go, Yiyi." Qian Zhiya said with a smile, then nodded to Zhu Changhe and the others, and pulled Qian Lingyi away from the valley.

Just after they left, Hong Zhen came up carrying a porcupine.

At this moment, the valley was in ruins. Apart from the corpses of a few saber-toothed light wolves that were affected by the attack, all that remained was the valley floor, which had been blasted into pieces by the soul skills.

"Brother Changhe, I have fulfilled my mission!" Hong Zhen threw the half-dead porcupine in his hand to the ground. The porcupine lay limp on the ground like a puddle of mud. All the bones in its body had been crushed by Hong Zhen, and it was about to die.

"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Hong." Zhu Changhe thanked Hong Zhen with a happy expression.

"Hey! What's there to argue about between us?" Hong Zhen waved his hand and said, "Come on, let's find a secluded place for you to finish off this beast first. This place smells too bloody, it might attract other soul beasts."

The group immediately left the valley and arrived at a stone forest.

"Let's do it here," Hong Zhen said, looking around at the surroundings.

"Okay." Zhu Changhe couldn't wait any longer. Without hesitation, he released his martial spirit, killing the spiky boar with a single strike, and then began absorbing the spirit ring.

While Zhu Changhe was absorbing the soul ring, Zhu Ziyang and the other two surrounded him, silently protecting him.

An hour later, Zhu Changhe successfully absorbed his fourth soul ring, bringing his soul power to level 43. This improvement was clearly related to his accumulated experience. He was very happy, not only because he had reached the Soul Master level, but also because his soul power had finally surpassed his son's. As a proud man, although he was gratified to be surpassed by his son, he was still somewhat disappointed.

With their mission successfully completed, the group did not linger and immediately returned to Anyang City.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Tianhui Grand Canyon.

Qian Zhiya and her granddaughter Qian Lingyi were also preparing to leave Tianhui Grand Canyon.

"Grandma, what level are those two kids my age among the group we met?" Qian Lingyi, who had successfully absorbed the three thousand years of cultivation of the saber-toothed light wolf, was now full of confidence and immediately thought of Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan, so she asked.

"The girl's soul power is around level 35. As for the boy, to be honest, I couldn't see through him," Qian Zhiya said with a helpless expression.

"What? Even you, Grandma, can't see through him? How strong must he be? He can't possibly be a Soul Master, right? How old is he?" Qian Lingyi exclaimed in surprise, her pretty face filled with astonishment.

"With a population of over 100 million in Douluo Continent, there are bound to be one or two geniuses who are extraordinary. Yiyi, don't be complacent," Qian Zhiya instructed. "Although you are the strongest genius of my Qian family, my Qian family has declined and no longer has the glory of the legendary Papal Clan."

"Grandma, are we really descendants of the Pope?" Qian Lingyi asked. She had asked this question countless times, but she was still persistent because she wanted to see the glory on her grandmother's face when she told the story.

"Of course, our Angelic Martial Soul is proof of that!" Qian Zhiya began to tell the story of the Angelic Family without getting tired of it, an unnatural flush appearing on her aged face.

"Grandma, I want to go out and see the world." After listening to Qian Zhiya's story again, Qian Lingyi said slowly, a firm belief shining in her bright eyes.

"..." Qian Zhiya remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "Alright, Grandma promises you that when you reach the fourth-ring Soul Master realm, she will let you travel. However, at that time, you will need to change your surname."

"Huh? Change my surname? What should I call myself then?"

"Take your father's surname, Ye!"

-

Zhu Ziyang and his group returned to Anyang City.

That evening, in Zhu Ziyang's bedroom, Zhu Ziyang sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind immersed in the sea of ​​consciousness, discussing matters of faith with Electrolux.

"Teacher, do you know about faith?" Zhu Ziyang asked curiously.

"I can't be sure either, after all, the differences between your world and ours are quite significant," Electrox said.

"Is that so?" Zhu Ziyang said thoughtfully, then asked with curiosity, "Why don't you tell me too? Maybe it's the same."

"Alright." Electrolux decided to satisfy Zhu Ziyang's curiosity and said, "Faith and divinity are closely related. In our world, there were once two kinds of gods: the God of Law and the God of Faith."

The concept of a Law God is easy to understand. The God of Light, the God of Ice, and the God of Fire are all Law Gods. Their divine power comes from the laws of heaven and earth, and their growth in strength is unrestricted.

The existence of gods is relatively complex. Their divine status is born from the worship of certain abstract concepts by the people, such as the ocean, sky, earth, sun, etc. The worship of living beings generates the power of faith, and the power of faith will bind the strength of the god of faith. Generally speaking, the more believers there are, the more power of faith there is, and the stronger the god of faith will be.

The sea god and angel god of your world are clearly gods of faith. Their fierce fighting over the power of faith is very much in line with the practices of gods of faith.

The gods of my world are said to have perished because of a lack of faith.

"There's actually such a saying!" Zhu Ziyang felt his brain swelling. Although this kind of knowledge, which was beyond his own level, was a burden for him, it was really refreshing to know it!

"Well, the God of Faith and the God of Law each have their own merits. If possible, Ziyang, you should strive to become a God of Law rather than a God of Faith," Electrox suggested.

"Hehe~ Teacher, you're thinking too far ahead. I'm just a minor Soul Master, and I still have a long way to go before I become a Title Douluo, let alone a god." Zhu Ziyang said with a wry smile.

"Hehe, it's alright. Isn't having a big goal a form of motivation?" Electrox said with a kind smile. "You've slacked off quite a bit in your necromancy training this past month."

"Is that so?" Zhu Ziyang could only force a smile. "I'm going to cultivate now. Goodbye, teacher."

He immediately left the Sea of ​​Spirit and entered a state of cultivation.

-

During his last ten days at home, Zhu Ziyang spent time with Zhu Changhe and Liang Ying. At the same time, he didn't forget to leave them some cultivation resources, a kind of pill called the Great Gathering Yuan Pill.

The Great Gathering Yuan Pill, as its name suggests, is related to the Gathering Yuan Pill, and indeed it is. The ingredients are the same as the Gathering Yuan Pill, except for the addition of Star Gathering Grass. Its effects are the same as the Gathering Yuan Pill, but it is effective for Soul Masters below the Soul Emperor level, making it a genuine mid-grade pill. Zhu Ziyang managed to refine thirteen pills, leaving them all for Zhu Changhe and Liang Ying.

He no longer uses elixirs to aid his cultivation, because both Moon and Elex told him that excessive use of elixirs is a drain on his talent. With his talent, he doesn't need elixirs at all. He can cultivate on his own, but using elixirs would negatively impact his meridians and lead to elixir dependence.

He readily agreed and immediately stopped using pills to aid his cultivation, even stopping Jiang Nannan from doing so.

However, although he cannot use pills, Zhu Changhe and Liang Ying can use them without any burden, because their talents are average, and pills will only play a positive role in enhancing their abilities, without any need to worry about causing their meridians to become dependent on pills.

On the last day of the holiday, Zhu Ziyang and Jiang Nannan said goodbye to their parents at the entrance of Beihezhuang village.

"Dad, Mom, you can go back now, we're leaving." Zhu Ziyang waved goodbye.

"Mom, please take good care of yourself!" Jiang Nannan said to Bai Xinyi.

The two quickly disappeared from their parents' sight, and then, on the official road, they encountered Xian Lin'er and Cai Mei'er, who had come to pick them up.

"Junior brother, junior sister!" Xian Lin'er called out.

"Senior Sister, Junior Sister!" Zhu Ziyang replied, feeling a little proud. Being picked up and dropped off by two Super Douluo was a privilege that probably no one could match.
