Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 58: The Pseudo-artifact Panlong Stick, the Rakshasa God from Ten Thousand Years Ago (First Order)

Shu Yan listened to Qiangu Chaosheng's words and didn't know what to say for a moment. He thought for a moment, then slowly said:
"Mr. Qian called me here today. I'm afraid the reason is not just to tell me these things. I'm afraid the thing you want to say most is still to come..."

Qiangu Chaosheng chuckled and nodded. He looked up at the remaining sunset glow above, and then said softly:

"Human desires are endless. For some powerful people like us who stand at the top of the continent, the desire for more powerful power can be called crazy."

"I won't give up until I hit the wall. When I first learned about the existence of gods, I was passionate and obsessed with them. I also wanted to have such powerful and unrivaled strength. Even though I have no hope of becoming a Ultimate Douluo in my lifetime, I still refuse to give up."

"In this process, I have found a path that has no theoretical or practical application, and can even be said to be a somewhat wishful thinking path, which is to become a god through the origin..."

Seeing that Shu Yan didn't seem to understand what he said, Qiangu Chaosheng thought it was normal, and then he began to explain:

"If there is no inheritance of the divine throne, the leap from level ninety-nine to the divine level requires the transformation of one's body, soul power, and mental power to the divine level. This can also be considered as becoming a god, but without the divine throne..."

"If there is a divine throne inheritance, then the process is much simpler than the former. You only need to complete the assessment given by the gods, and finally inherit the divine throne, and then you can ascend to the realm of the gods..."

"But neither of these two methods is suitable for me. After a long period of exploration, I chose a rather funny path."

"With the help of the purified pure soul power from the Blood-Red Nine-Headed Bat King and the mysterious power left in the ruins of the City of Slaughter, I began to baptize and refine my own martial soul. The remaining mysterious power suppressed the evil-breaking dragon soul parasitic in the Coiled Dragon Stick and gradually reached a consensus with it. In addition, with the nurturing of my origin that is comparable to that of a Limit Douluo for a hundred years, I have finally upgraded my Coiled Dragon Stick to a level that is infinitely close to a divine weapon..."

"I call it... a pseudo-artifact!"

Shu Yan looked at Qian Gu Chao Sheng, who always had a faint smile on his face, and couldn't help but interrupt him:

"Master Qian, I think I understand what you mean. The martial soul and the soul master are an independent entity. You want to upgrade the martial soul to the level of a divine weapon, and then take the opportunity to comprehend the mysteries contained therein, but..."

Qiangu Chaosheng looked at Shu Yan quietly, then shook his head gently, stopping Shu Yan from saying the next word.

"In fact, not long after I started preparing for this, I had already given up my obsession."

"Moon and Long Xiaoyao are both gifted children, but they have no chance to see higher scenery. As a guy who has risen through external forces, I naturally don't think I have that chance."

"The reason I did this is probably just because of my unwillingness. Over time, I found that being able to upgrade my own Panlong Stick to the level of a pseudo-artifact is already my limit. Going further, whether it is transforming myself into a divine weapon or studying the more profound level of the Unyielding Stick Technique, in my opinion, that is not even something that can be accomplished by mortal power..."

Shu Yan seemed to be hesitant to speak. He looked at Qiangu Chaosheng's slightly frustrated expression, considered his words, and then continued:
"Then Master Qian, what are your plans?" Qian Gu Chao Sheng was silent for a long time before he said softly:
"I only have three years left to live. Before I die, I will leave all my original soul power to Yue Yin to ensure her future cultivation."

"You know her character well. She will definitely suffer a great loss in the future because of this. The southern side will not be able to protect her completely after all. The situation faced by the empire will be even more difficult. So I hope that you can take good care of her in the future..."

"As compensation, I am willing to leave you the Panlong Staff, which has reached the level of a pseudo-divine weapon, after my death. In addition, I will tell you where a great opportunity is..."

Shu Yan's eyes were a little complicated. He thought for a moment and then said:

"After the soul master dies, his martial soul will disappear with him. Even if you, Elder Qian, upgrade the Panlong Staff to the level of a pseudo-artifact, you can't change this because it is not an artifact after all..."

"Also, even if you have a way to keep it, the right owner for it should still be your granddaughter Qian Gu Yue Yin, not me."

Qian Gu Chao Sheng also shook his head and continued:
"The relationship between martial spirits and spirit masters seems to be extremely close, but in fact there are exceptions. The reason why the Coiled Dragon Stick is so powerful is because it contains the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul. As for whether you can keep it, you don't have to worry about it. Even if I can't solve it, I will have other ways."

"As for why I didn't leave it to Yue Yin, the reason is very simple. Her Coiling Dragon Stick is the most suitable for her. Every owner of the Coiling Dragon Stick martial spirit will sign a contract with the Evil-Breaking Dragon Soul in their own martial spirit. From then on, they will live and die together. This is a fact."

"But I am different. In the City of Slaughter, I came into contact with the true power of the gods. This is the reason why I dare to say and do this. Before a person dies, he always worries about his descendants and the promises he made before."

"I promised Sheng Ling that I would protect the Xing Luo Empire and our descendants, but in the end I could only watch them die one by one in front of me. This is the greatest torture for me. I am too tired, so tired that I no longer have the courage to live. For me, death is a relief and a destination, but before I die, I still have to pave the way for the Empire and Yue Yin. This is what I must do."

Shu Yan was still thinking about the pros and cons, but the voice coming from the sea of ​​​​spirituality quickly made him firm in his thoughts. He looked at Qiangu Chaosheng and then said:
"Master Qian, I agree to everything you said, but I want to know which god is the power from the gods that you came into contact with in the City of Slaughter?"

Qiangu Chaosheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Shu Yan agreed. He did not continue to hide it, but said directly:
"Ten thousand years ago, the ancestors of my lineage once belonged to the Spirit Hall, which had two great gods. The power I came into contact with in the ruins of the City of Slaughter came from the former Rakshasa God."

"If you are willing to believe me, go to the Jialing Pass ruins when you have time. There you will find all the answers..."

Shu Yan nodded. He was not surprised at all. Instead, he felt that everything was slowly making sense.

The Rakshasa God who died at the hands of Tang San ten thousand years ago was still able to influence the peerless Tang Sect ten thousand years later. This proves that even if she cannot recover all her strength, she at least still has consciousness or power remaining in the world. Conversely, perhaps, the Angel God whose throne was shattered and fell to the eighty-ninth level may still have consciousness or inheritance remaining in the world?
