Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

Helpless, Qian Shui blamed himself for running into an acquaintance and being too relaxed at home to activate his senses. On the other hand, he could only bite the bullet and introduce, "Quickly, come and pay your respects to the Great Elder!"

"this…"

The crowd looked at each other, and although it was clear that these seven worshippers were not to be trifled with, they did not know how to pay their respects.

Qian Shui, realizing what had happened, slapped his forehead. He had forgotten that the Seven Elders were all homebodies who rarely went out. They didn't even know anyone from outside their own faction, let alone those belonging to the Spirit Hall, let alone these students.

"Oh right, you guys don't know, let me introduce you!"

"Grand Elder, I am the Judgment Elder of the Spirit Hall, a Level 99 Peerless Douluo, and a Titled Angel!"

"Second Elder, Martial Soul Golden Crocodile King, Level 98 Peak Douluo, Title: Golden Crocodile!"

"The Third Elder, whose Martial Soul is the Azure Phoenix, is a Level 97 Peak Douluo, and his title is Azure Phoenix!"

"Fourth Offering, Martial Soul: Fiery Lion, Level 97 Peak Douluo, Title: Lion!"

"Five offerings, Martial Soul: Light Feather Divine Bow, Level 97 Peak Douluo, Title: Light Feather!"

"Sixth-ranked Martial Soul: Panlong Staff; Level 96 Peak Douluo; Title: Thousand-Jin!"

"Seven Offerings, Martial Soul: Panlong Staff, Level 96 Peak Douluo, Title: Demon Slayer!"

"Achieving a title grants entry into the Elder Hall, and only those with a Soul Power level of 96 can become a Venerable! The seven before you are the strongest beings on the entire continent!"

Qian Shui's words were also appreciated by the Seven Offerings; one can never have too many kind words. As for who is actually stronger, everyone knows the answer in their hearts, so it's best not to say it outright.

Having learned who they were facing, the group finally exchanged greetings and then withdrew.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu spoke up: "Qian Shui, where is Xiao Xue?"

Qian Daoliu's expression remained calm, revealing no emotion. However, Qian Shui was sweating profusely, because there was something he hadn't yet said, and the consequences could be quite serious.

Fortunately, spiritual communication doesn't require social death, and Qian Shui readily complied, connecting with Qian Daoliu, who was at the same level, along with Qian Renxue.

"grandfather!"

Upon seeing Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu was initially startled, but with a century of self-cultivation, he quickly regained his composure.

"Hey~ Xiaoxue!"

...

While the grandfather and grandson exchanged pleasantries, our good comrade Qian Shui dared not utter a word, while his true self stood outside pouring tea and smiling obsequiously. For a moment, the atmosphere was quite awkward. There was no way around it; who wouldn't be nervous in this situation?

As the saying goes, "If you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place." The specific situation of the two and the fact that Qian Renxue was pregnant were completely exposed in the back-and-forth conversation between the grandfather and granddaughter!

More importantly, as his own grandfather, Qian Daoliu wasn't the first to know about this; even unrelated people knew before him. That's quite something!

"I haven't moved for many years. Now that you two are married, I, as your grandfather, should test my grandson-in-law's abilities. Don't you think so, Qianshui?"

"Grand Master... Surely not... How could I possibly..."

Before Qian Shui could finish speaking, Qian Daoliu's expression turned unfriendly, and he interrupted him directly: "Come on!"

He then walked out the door on his own.

...

'What should we do? What should we do! Xiaoxue, say something!'

'Oh dear, the baby's already three months old and you're still calling him "Grand Offering"? Looks like Grandpa's angry!'

"Oh? What should we do then?"

"Grandpa knows how to control himself! I trust him!"

Why don't you believe me?!

'Who cares?'

...

Helpless, Qian Shui ignored the various mocking expressions of the other six elders, gritted his teeth, and walked back to his room, taking out the Poseidon's Trident, still with his underwear hanging on it.

Just as he was about to leave, he turned back and said, "Uncles, could you please keep an eye on the house and grounds? If they get damaged, Xiaoxue and I won't have anything to entertain you with tomorrow!"

Having said that, he shouldered the harpoon and left the house looking utterly dejected.

"Hey! This kid's even taking us on!"

"There's nothing we can do. If Miss gets upset, we'll all be in deep trouble."

At this moment, Qian Daoliu was already waiting outside. His arrival made everyone outside feel extremely uncomfortable, and they all stood aside with restrained expressions, not daring to speak.

Turning around, Qian Daoliu stared intently at the harpoon, his expression subtly shifting, as if he had confirmed something, or perhaps he was grieving for something.

"This is the Trident of Poseidon?"

"Yes."

"I hope you live up to this divine weapon!"

"Easy to say!"

He didn't want to make any blasphemous remarks. If he provoked this person, the beating he would receive would definitely be severe. He would need to ask this peerless expert for help later, so there was no need to cause trouble for no reason.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared behind Qian Daoliu, and he was surrounded by a golden light. Nine spirit rings, eight black and one red, were neatly arranged on his body. At the same time, three pairs of pure white wings also appeared. This was his super martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel!

What is beyond the limit? Qian Shui's existence has given a general idea, but what this peerless expert from the Spirit Hall has shown is beyond the imagination of everyone present.

That's probably the allure of absolute power!

When unimaginable absolute power descends upon us, the ignorant will surely submit.

Chapter 204 A Thousand Streams and a Thousand Waters

"Great Elder, is it absolutely necessary to fight him?"

"It's already late at night, not the time when the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is at its strongest. What? Is our hero afraid?"

An old man and a young man stood high in the sky, looking down at the earth. The unparalleled aura of Angel Douluo did not need much embellishment; he was enough to awe people simply by standing with his hands behind his back in the sky.

Qian Shui bowed to the imposing and powerful expert, and then, as he became serious, his mind began to work.

"Heroes are too kind to me. How about this, High Priest, since we've brought this up, why don't we go fight in the far north? We need your authority!"

Even a simple fight would only result in him getting a beating, but if that beating could have some positive effect, it might not be a bad thing.

Qian Daoliu, who was initially somewhat displeased, was moved by Qian Shui's suggestion. Even if it is extremely foolish to help others, one should still be respected.

"Alright!"

……

The night sky in the far north is far purer than elsewhere, just as for soul beasts, there is always enough pure time, but it cannot compare to humans who seize every moment.

Just like the eternally frozen snow maiden, it seems even her heart is frozen forever.

But how easy is it to achieve eternity?

Ordinary people, after all, cannot escape the constraints of rules, even someone as beloved by heaven and earth as she is.

For humans, a short lifespan necessitates compressing everything into a sufficiently short timeframe. Fortune and misfortune are intertwined, yet the human will remains remarkably steadfast in the face of worldly pressures.

Though stumbling and trudging along, they never stop, never wait, and when they look back, all the strong in that ecological niche have already been trampled under their feet!

The insignificant one standing between heaven and earth has finally reached the summit!

Perhaps in the eyes of the Ice and Snow Woman, humans are not so noble, but merely lucky, and are favored simply because of their good fortune.

When her imperial sword cleaved through the sky, shattering everything was so easy, just like those years that had long since faded away, as fleeting as flowing water.

On that day, she was defeated, defeated in such an inexplicable way. The human man, though strong, was not yet capable of defeating her, yet she was still defeated. In a mere instant, he would have turned to ice and vanished into the world!

When she lost control of her body and was held in his arms and played with at his mercy, she was furious.

But ice, do you know? The unbreakable cold should not have any impurities in the first place. How can the heartless face such an uncontrollable cold?

Just like when facing the powerful figure who appeared again with him, like a blazing sun, that human was not afraid. His crisscrossing figures, the divine light and flames, and the center as bright as the sun, even the aftershocks of the battle crushed the clouds in the sky!

"Xue'er! If we join forces, can we win?"

Looking at the sacred light that illuminated the northern night sky as bright as day, the Ice and Snow Maiden shook her head. The terrifying power of a super martial soul could not be fully demonstrated in the current battle.

Even as their two domains clashed, neither of them harbored any murderous intent; each held back.

"Bing'er, who is he?"

"His name is Qian Shui? He claims to be from the Spirit Hall and has spirit rings that have surpassed the limit!"

Snow Empress and Ice Empress stood together watching the battle, only to discover that Qian Shui was even stronger than before.

His opponents are even more unimaginable, and those involved are well aware of this.

He was facing a peerless Douluo with a super martial soul. Not to mention the terrifying range of the Angel Domain, what was even more terrifying was the heat, which was so intense that even people in the far north could feel it!

As familiar with Qian Renxue, Qian Shui was even more familiar with the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

It seems that because of the three unparalleled achievements, those who know the inside story have overlooked a fact: the attributes of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul are holiness and fire, and it can borrow the power of the sun!

The battles with Qian Renxue always take place at night. Firstly, there is no time during the day, and secondly, Qian Renxue can absorb the sun's energy during the day, making her virtually inexhaustible and ridiculously strong!

Angelic soul power is pure, sacred energy with the added effect of purifying and dissolving soul power. Once the three elements of noon, the sun, and the sky are gathered, the owner of the six-winged angelic martial soul is invincible in the same realm!

Undeniably, the Angel Douluo before Qian Shui is a coward in some matters, but standing under the heavens, even powerful figures like Poseidon and Tang Chen must avoid his sharp edge!

Qian Shui seemed to prefer using the Golden Trident as a sword. His battle with Qian Daoliu didn't involve the typical Soul Skills-on-Soul Skills combat of Douluo Continent. Instead, they tacitly activated their passive abilities, their Angel Sword and Golden Trident clashing and roaring, deciding the outcome through close combat.

At this moment, the detached primordial spirit martial soul held the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda in its hand. Although Qian Shui's thirteen soul rings were far less powerful than Qian Daoliu's, they were more numerous.

After a rapid attack, the old man and the young man stopped in unison. "Why can you use two martial souls at the same time?"

Before the battle, Qian Shui did not immediately head to the far north, but instead passed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. His most important goal was to retrieve the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

At the same time, Qian Daoliu went along. He glanced at Qian Renxue and met Chen Xin Gu Rong. Sometimes, deterrence is not only needed externally, but also internally!

The simultaneous arrival of Qian Shui and Qian Daoliu was both unexpected and reasonable. Although Ning Fengzhi felt a chill run down his spine, he could only lower his head.

In his eyes, this was the most severe warning against his ambush of Qian Shui back then, but it was also an affirmation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's actions in the far north. Otherwise, why would the two members of the Qian family have come at the same time and then headed to the far north? That night, no one in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was destined to sleep soundly.

"It is due to one's innate talent; the primordial spirit is the dwelling place of the soul and the martial spirit."

"I see."

When conversing with a true powerhouse, little explanation is needed; Qian Daoliu quickly grasped the underlying principles.
