Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

Dong Qing nodded and said, "Of course I care, but I don't know much about it. I do know a little bit about everything, like the spirits of Mount Kunwu that King Goujian of Yue in your world worshipped..."

"No rush, let me think... It seems you've already recorded this and turned it into a myth, that's how you recorded it..."

“Kunwu Mountain is rich in red gold, which is as red as fire. In the past, when the Yellow Emperor attacked Chiyou, he deployed his troops here. He dug a hundred feet deep, but still could not reach the spring. He could only see firelight like stars. There is a lot of cinnabar in the ground. He refined stone into copper. The copper is blue and sharp. The spring is red. The grass and trees on the mountain are all sharp as swords. The soil is also steel and refined.”

“Since the Spring and Autumn Period, King Goujian of Yue ordered craftsmen to worship the god Kunwu with white horses and white oxen, and to collect gold to cast the eight swords.”

"One meaning is to obscure the sun, which means that the daytime light will be dimmed. Metal represents yin, and when yin is excessive, yang will be extinguished."

"Secondly, it is used to cut off the water flow, and once opened, it cannot be closed again."

"The third is called 'turning the soul,' which is used to point at the moon, causing the toad and rabbit to turn upside down."

"The fourth is the Xuanjian. When a bird flies by, it is cut as if it has been slashed by the blade."

"The fifth is to startle the salamanders, which are used to float on the sea, and whales and salamanders will venture deep into the sea."

"The sixth is to extinguish the soul; carry it with you at night, and you will not encounter any demons or monsters."

"The seventh is to ward off evil; any demons or monsters that see it will submit."

"The eighth is true steel, which can cut jade and sever gold as easily as carving earth and wood. It is forged in accordance with the qi of the eight directions."

Spring and Autumn Period.

King Goujian of Yue sent craftsmen to offer sacrifices to the gods of Kunwu Mountain with a white horse and a white ox. Afterwards, he sent people to mine "red gold" ore and, in accordance with the energy of heaven and earth, forged eight exquisite swords.

The first one is called "Sun-Covering Stone". It is used to point at the sun and cover it up, making the daytime dark and gloomy. This is because the red gold stone has the attribute of yin, and when yin is dominant, yang is extinguished.

The second one is called "Water Cutting". Use it to cut the water flow, and the water flow will immediately break and will not rejoin.

The third weapon is called "Soul Turner." Pointing it at the moon will cause the moonlight to reverse and the moon to disappear.

The fourth weapon is called Xuanjian. If you touch a flying bird with it, the bird will be cut in half from a distance, and its body will turn to ashes.

The fifth weapon is called Jingni. Use it to paddle across the ocean, and the whales and salamanders will swim into the deep sea out of fear.

The sixth weapon is called Soul Extinction. If you carry it with you when traveling at night, you will not encounter ghosts or monsters.

The seventh weapon is called "Exorcising Evil." When you carry it with you, demons and monsters will submit and prostrate themselves upon seeing it.

The eighth weapon is called Zhen Gang. Using it to cut gold and jade is as easy as shaving soil and breaking wood.

It is worth mentioning that.

Among the Eight Swords of Yue, Yan Ri is the strongest, Jing Ni is the most beautiful, and Hei Bai Xuan Jian is the most ferocious.

.......

Dong Qing recounted the mythological stories from the tenth volume of the Lost Records he had read in the Super God Universe, including the tale of King Goujian of Yue and his eight swords.

"Is this story true? Is the sword in my hand really related to the gods of Kunwu Mountain?" Jing Ni stared intently at Dong Qing's face.

Regarding this issue...

After thinking about it carefully for a while, Dongqing finally decided to tell her the cruel truth about this world.

"How should I put it? Your world did indeed have gods. When I entered this world, I sensed many traces of the gods' past existence."

"But your world has undergone changes that I am not aware of. The laws of heaven and earth are in chaos, and all the gods have disappeared, as if they were wiped out by some terrible being."

"As for the sword in your hand, it has a good foundation, but it has lost its divinity and is no longer as mysterious and powerful as before. Now it is just a sword with a little bit of spirituality."

Dong Qing truly had no idea what calamity had occurred in this world that caused all the gods to perish and even the laws of heaven and earth to become a tangled mess.

He also senses that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this world is still flowing away, and that in a few hundred years, it may very well become an ordinary world without any spiritual energy.

"Thank you for your explanation, I understand now."

Jingni looked at the sword in her hand and finally understood why the assassin organization she had served, the all-pervasive and insidious network that spanned the seven kingdoms, kept collecting famous swords left behind from the past.

Logically speaking...

With the continuous advancement of forging technology, swords today are certainly stronger than those of the past, but in fact, swords of the past were much stronger than those of today.

"Don't you want it to regain its divinity?" Dongqing asked curiously.

"What good is regaining divinity?" Jing Ni retorted.

“A sword possessing divinity can automatically protect its master. Even if the wielder is powerless, he can still contend with the strongest in the world. Considering that you helped Dong’er and Bao Bao, I can help you restore the divinity of this sword,” Dong Qing said.

"To me, it is just a sword, a sword to kill. If possible, I hope you can help Yan'er recover from her congenital physical damage."

Jingni did not agree to Dongqing's suggestion to repay the favor, because she wanted to save this one and only chance for Yan'er, for her blood-related daughter.

"Congenital physical impairment?"

Dong Qing looked towards the kitchen of the villa, and with a flicker of his gaze, he instantly saw through the villa's walls to look at Yan'er, who was clumsy and awkward, next to Dong Baobao.

A few seconds later.

"Yan'er's health was indeed congenitally compromised, probably because of what happened when you were pregnant with her..."

Speaking of it.

Dong Qing looked at Jing Ni, his gaze returning to normal, and said nothing more.

“Back then, I was being hunted down by assassins from the Luo Wang organization, and it was inevitable that she was injured. Over the years, I have been trying to find a way to make up for her congenital defects, but I have not succeeded, nor have I encountered any of the celestial herbs recorded in ancient books. It is as if these celestial herbs have never existed.”

Jingni's tone was full of regret, and the expression on her pretty face was pitiful.

No one knew that this wasn't a deliberate disguise on her part. After all, she used to be an assassin, skilled at feigning emotions to deceive people and then killing them with a single blow.

Dong Qing couldn't discern her true thoughts either; he lacked the ability to read minds. However, he had to admit that a woman's feigned pitifulness could indeed soften a man's heart.

Even if the weak expression on her face was an act, at least her feelings for Yan'er were real; she just wanted Dongqing to restore Yan'er's congenital defect.

“Food is worse than medicine. It’s simple. Just have Yan’er eat more soul beast meat during these two months. The spiritual energy contained in it will gradually repair her congenitally damaged body,” Dong Qing said calmly.

"Soul beast meat? Could it be the refrigerator soul tool that Dong'er mentioned, which stores a lot of fresh, blood-red meat?" Jing Ni asked in confusion.

“That’s right, that’s soul beast meat, rich in spiritual energy. Just make some for her to eat more often,” Dong Qing affirmed.

Upon hearing this...

Jingni looked somewhat surprised and asked, "You have already descended into this world and have some understanding of it. Would you still be willing to let me be Dong'er and Bao Bao's guide?"

She thought that after Dongqing arrived, she and Yan'er would have to leave, but she didn't expect that he would also want her and Yan'er to stay with Dong Dong'er and Dong Baobao.

"Why not? If you're willing, I can take Yan'er as my goddaughter. It's not impossible," Dong Qing joked.

He truly never expected to encounter this world. Even when he was studying in the Chinese super-god universe, he was already very interested in the history of the Qin Dynasty.

But he never expected that he would actually encounter the Qin Dynasty, which only exists in history books, a Qin Dynasty that is ambiguous and also has the Hundred Schools of Thought.

The wisdom of the Hundred Schools of Thought is something Dongqing should learn from. It has nothing to do with strength; wisdom is wisdom and it will not increase as strength grows.

"You are a god, unattainable, do you also have desires for mortals, like those between men and women?"

Jingni gave Dongqing a strange look. She wasn't very smart, but she wasn't stupid. She understood Dongqing's underlying meaning: wasn't being Yan'er's godfather just a way to take advantage of her?

Ha, men, men who are utterly vulgar.

"Whether it's a god or a human, everyone has desires and pursuits. Jingni, do you think that gods are all without desires?" Dongqing asked.

"I don't know. Whether you're an immortal or a god, your world is too far removed from mine. I can't imagine the nature of a god." Jing Ni shook her head gently.

Although she said she couldn't imagine it.

But deep down, I don't think so.

Are gods also greedy and lustful?

Jingni felt that Dongqing's image had plummeted, from a high and unapproachable god to a person who could be approached, a person with flesh and blood.

"Jingni, let me put it this way: God is just one of my identities. I am a human being, a living, breathing human being." Dongqing gave his final definition of his identity.

“But you are still a god, not an ordinary mortal,” Jingni whispered.

"Think what you want, but in my eyes, gods are just higher beings." Dong Qing didn't make things difficult for Jing Ni or force her to accept his view of gods and humans.

A few minutes later.

"Did you descend to the mortal realm because you were worried about Dong'er and Bao Bao?" Jing Ni asked proactively.

"Of course I'm worried. This world is special; it's not under the rule of the gods, and a great upheaval has occurred there, causing all the gods to perish. Their mother was worried, and so was I. In the end, we still chose to come and find them." Dong Qing nodded.

Upon hearing this answer...

Jingni's eyes flickered slightly. She lowered her head, seemingly considering something. Thinking of the implied meaning Dongqing had just expressed, she stood up and sat in Dongqing's arms, reaching out to hug Dongqing's neck.

"I have been wandering with Yan'er for six years, all alone and helpless, homeless and displaced. I wonder if Your Majesty could let me rely on you for a while?" Jingni said gently, biting Dongqing's ear.

She was so proactive not only because Dongqing had revealed his intentions, but also because Dongqing repeatedly stated that he was human and not a god, which relieved a lot of her psychological pressure.

Otherwise.

Jing Ni dared not approach Dong Qing, let alone sit in his lap. This was a man who could hold her in place with just a glance, a man she could never catch up to.

of course.

Most importantly, Dong Baobao and Dong Dong'er's attitude towards Dong Qing made her believe that as long as she followed Dong Qing, even if her daughter Yan'er's life was worse, it would still be a thousand times better than it is now.

you could put it that way.

If it weren't for Dong Baobao and Dong Dong'er's help, she wouldn't have dared to get close to Dong Qing, fearing that she was just a toy, a toy that would be played with and then thrown away.

“You and Yan’er can rely on me. Trust me, I’m a responsible man.” Dong Qing placed his hand on Jing Ni’s waist, sensing her amazing flexibility.

See here.

Unlike a shy little girl, Jingni took the initiative to bite down on the area below Dongqing's nose, letting him know that fish are as smooth and slippery as water.

A few minutes later.

"If I hadn't met you, I planned to go to a farmhouse, find a man, and give Yan'er a home." Jing Ni spoke her mind, revealing a part of her true feelings.

"Then you're lucky to have met me ahead of time," Dong Qing said with a sigh.

Good heavens, he really didn't expect to encounter Jing Ni in this world, but now that he had met her, Dong Qing naturally had no reason to let her go.

While studying in the Chinese super-god universe, I developed a great love for anime and manga.

He still remembers many beautiful older sisters, such as Yan Lingji, Yan Fei, Jing Ni, Queen Medusa, Yun Yun, and other anime goddesses.

Jing Ni is already in our hands, so how far behind can the others be?

Sometimes Dong Baobao criticizes Dong Qing for being a homebody, not because he is, but because he is not interested in the ordinary world. Only certain people in this world can make him leave the Douluo God Realm.
