Douluo Continent: A Thousand Miles of Cultivation

The reason is simple: he prefers close combat. The Divine Plate only needs to mobilize power in the correct palace, unlike the Bagua or the Eight Gates which require comprehensive calculation.

Therefore, he intentionally spread the methods of Qimen Dunjia, so that it wouldn't be used only for hand-to-hand combat in his hands. Also, it only requires soul power to activate and doesn't need a particularly special operating method, so it can be used even without cultivating immortality. Someone like Ling Yunzhi, with his squinty eyes and calculating nature, would be well-suited to the Earthly Branch Bagua.

Of course, in Qian Shui's imagination, using magic for support is still the most powerful. He can already imagine what the Eight Gates would be like on the battlefield. However, for Soul Masters, these techniques sometimes become useless or even a waste of time.

However, the four plates of Qimen Dunjia cannot be harmonized, and the Heavenly Plate does not exist on Douluo Star. To truly achieve perfect manipulation of the four plates, the Heavenly Plate must be redeveloped based on the situation of Douluo Continent.

"Let's study it slowly later, but don't get too obsessed."

"Sigh..." Ling Yunzhi sighed, squinting his eyes slightly. "Another ten-thousand-year-old soul bone, another magical technique. You're really willing to give them away, team leader."

"You're just too cunning. You all heard what I told the students: your goal should be to reach the hundredth level of the Heavenly Battle Realm, hoping for eternity. I'm already confident I can reach that level, so what about you?"

At this moment, Qian Shui, who seemed to have melted into the world, was finally seen by his old brothers as the peerless Douluo who had reached the pinnacle of his realm.

"I want to know the gap between us!" Faced with Qian Shui like this, even Feng Jingyi, who was the highest level, wavered, while only Ruoyou remained unperturbed.

"One day the roc rises with the wind and soars ninety thousand miles away!"

With a slight smile, Qian Shui turned his back, and all sixteen soul rings around him appeared simultaneously. "Nascent Soul Transformation! Nine Treasures True Body!"

Qian Shui stood there, but then seemed to vanish. Suddenly, the six people were lifted up by a giant hand and lifted into the air.

Everyone turned around and saw the enormous Thousand Water entity, with its Nine Treasures True Body hanging from its head, standing between heaven and earth. The five of them, along with Thousand Water's body, were being lifted up by this entity.

It was certainly shocking, but this wasn't the first time Yin Jin had seen it. He had gone with Qian Shuishui when she broke through to the next realm. "Speaking of which, Brother Shui, do you still have a few soul bone skills you haven't shown yet?"

"Tsk!" It's so frustrating to be interrupted while showing off. "Black Tortoise right arm bone, Black Tortoise clone! Morning and evening essence right leg bone, Morning and evening entanglement!"

...

"Ah, I'm all sweaty, that feels so good!" Back at the dinner table, Qian Shui collapsed into a chair, looking completely relaxed.

"Brother Shui, your octopus legs absorbed our soul power, of course you're happy!"

"How about I give it back to you?"

"No! That's disgusting!" "No!" "It really is disgusting!"

Feng Jingyi, on the other hand, seemed hesitant to speak, perhaps wanting to...?

"Xiao Shui, what level are you? You said before that even Haotian Douluo couldn't beat you. Even the Grand Elder couldn't catch him when he personally chased after him." Chen Sha, carrying a plate of dishes, saw her companions looking disheveled and thought that they had probably lost. So she was curious.

"Level 99 ~ Peerless Douluo ~ Awesome!"

Qian Shui rolled her eyes at Yin Jin and explained, "Currently, I'm level 99, but that's one of the benefits of having twin martial souls. As you know, it's easy to break through quickly by absorbing high-age soul rings and soul bones. That's how I did it."

However, I didn't defeat him after breaking through to the Title Douluo level, but rather when I was nearing the Title Douluo level. In fact, I could probably have killed him even after breaking through to the Soul Saint level, but that would have been more troublesome.

However, one thing needs to be corrected: Tang Hao could not escape the Grand Elder's pursuit; the Grand Elder simply let him go intentionally. But it's not something I can explain in detail to you.”

The inside story involves Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong. Qian Daoliu's pursuit of Tang Hao was merely a show to others, confirming that Tang Hao was responsible for Qian Xunji's death. This diverted internal conflicts and external attention, making Bibi Dong's succession legitimate. At the same time, it also maintained his friendship with Tang Chen, sparing Tang Hao's life.

The old man was an upright man who did the best he could. In the original timeline, he had already compensated Bibi Dong by giving her the opportunity to become a god along with Qian Renxue. If Tang San hadn't been left as a future threat, the Spirit Hall would have produced two gods from a single force, which would have been a perfect ending.

Qian Shui exchanged a glance with Qian Renxue, and knew that this was a family scandal, so it was indeed not a good time to talk about it.

"Level 99? Ignoring the total soul power required for each level after the title is conferred, with a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone adding one level, I thought it would be level 97 at most... Little Water, you've gone too far, haven't you?"

Qian Shui was unwilling to talk about anything related to Tang Hao, so Chen Sha didn't ask anymore, but she was still curious about his true strength.

"Uh... even at full power, they can't withstand one palm strike from me..." As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes turned to him. The strength Qian Shui had displayed before was already quite exaggerated, and this description of full power was beyond their imagination.

"Why are you all looking at me like that! I've already shown you before. Back then, your souls were shattered with a single grasp of my primordial spirit. Do you know the value of a Peerless Douluo? I can even beat a Grand Elder! So this is pointless. I'm just having a battle of soul techniques with you!"

"Water, if we could beat you, you'd be lying on the ground! So arrogant!" Showing off is bound to make you hated, that's for sure.

"Tch, even if I give you my full strength, you still can't beat me!" Qian Shui didn't believe it. No matter what, as long as he made a move, Yin Jin would definitely be the one lying on the ground.

"What?! You're letting me hit you with my whole body? You're basically just standing there and letting me hit you? I don't believe it!"

Although Qian Shui's physical strength might not be enough to break through his defense, he has a lot of health, so standing still and attacking him wouldn't make much difference.

But as an evasive monster, the worst thing is getting hit. Even a little pain means your skills aren't up to par!

Sure enough, dozens of identical rapiers, likely intended as consumables, flew out of the spatial soul tool. "Huh? Artifact manipulation! Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!"

Yin Jin: "Sister-in-law, save me!"

...

After playing around, the issue of distributing the soul bones came up. "This 100,000-year soul bone was dropped by the 100,000-year soul beast, the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, in the City of Slaughter. It's mostly related to spirit. Tang Hao's four bones should all be of the strength type, but I haven't seen him use them."

As for the Soul Bone that Shi Nian dropped, it's a rare gem. Judging from Shi Nian's usage, this Soul Bone should provide the wearer with an ability called Illusionary Space. It likely has auxiliary abilities such as enhancing the mental strength of allies, while also establishing a mental network that allows them to communicate and not get lost in the illusion. As for enemies, it will have a hallucinogenic effect, causing them to lose their sense of direction and weakening their mental strength through the continuous hallucination.

Finally, there's Medusa's Gaze. Judging from Dugu Bo's combat records, once equipped, it should be able to shoot two petrifying beams from its eyes, even petrifying energy.

There are seven pieces in total, you guys decide how to divide them~

This topic was actually deliberately diverted by everyone. The importance of soul bones is self-evident, not to mention there is a soul bone that is 100,000 years old.

"Xiao Shui, Qing Yu, and Shui Shui too..."

“Sister Sasha, I know you have concerns, but there’s no need. The fact that I can offer it means I don’t need it.” Qian Shui took a sip of her wine and pointed to Qian Renxue, whose face was flushed and who was holding her wine glass, looking a little dizzy. “If you don’t believe me, ask Xiaoxue.”

"Oh... Xiao Shui is right~ hiccup~ Our family has a family heirloom soul bone~"

“Xiaoxue, you… don’t drink alcohol…” Chen Sha patted Qian Renxue’s back.

Seeing Qian Renxue's dazed expression, it was hard for everyone to imagine her domineering and fierce demeanor during the day.

It was rare to see Qian Renxue like this. She rested her head on one hand, gazing at her with tender affection. "Hehe, it's unusual. Little Xue rarely acts like this. She was so cute and adorable when she was little~"

"Family inheritance? Soul bones can be inherited?" Keep your eyes down and mind at ease. When a couple shows affection, it's bound to hurt single people, let alone Feng Jingyi. So Yin Jin immediately chimed in.

"Hey, Xiaoxue had too much to drink and didn't explain clearly. She was talking about the Angel Set. You all know that the Spirit Hall worships the Angel God."

Seeing everyone nod, Qian Shui continued, "This is Xiao Xue's family's ancestral god. The six-winged angel martial soul is a martial soul bestowed by the angel god."

The Angel Ancestral God inherited a complete set of six soul bones, all of which are 99,999 years old. Normally, a maximum of five can be equipped. If one obtains the inheritance of a divine position, the last piece will be equipped at level 100, thus bringing all soul bones to the level of 100,000 years.

But in reality, when we say that we don't lack soul bones, we are referring to the large number of inherited soul bones from the Spirit Hall. Qingyu will not lack soul bones.

As for Shui Shui, I have other plans. Do you understand?

"I see."

"It's a deal, soul bones aren't as rare as you think. Don't fight and ruin our relationship, or I'd rather not give them to you at all."

"Brother Shui, you might as well not give it to us. Who wouldn't want a 100,000-year-old soul bone if you do this?" Among the crowd, Yin Jin was the closest to Qian Shui, and he bluntly pointed out the ins and outs of the matter.

Qian Shui thought to himself: I still have the Blue Silver Emperor's 100,000-year-old soul bone!

Unfortunately, it was unacceptable; that soul bone was buried under the grass roots of Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

As for why he did this, it was because the Blue Silver Emperor said he wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, so how could he disagree?

How exciting would it be to develop Blue Silver Grass in all sorts of creative ways?

"You don't want it?" He picked up the skull of the blood-red nine-headed bat king and waved it at Yin Jin.

"want!"

"I won't give it to you! What about you guys?" He walked past each person in turn, only to see them all shake their heads reservedly.

"Well, even a 100,000-year-old soul bone is unwanted~"

"I want it! Brother Shui! Give it to me! Hey hey!" In front of Yin Jin, Qian Shui stuffed the soul bone into the hand of the last person, Feng Jingyi.

"Sister Feng didn't wave her hand, you all saw that!"

"Brother Shui, you didn't give Xiao Feng a chance either!"

Feng Jingyi didn't wave her hand. She was still immersed in Qian Shui and Qian Renxue's display of affection, but she didn't expect Qian Shui to directly give her the most precious 100,000-year soul bone.

"Stop talking nonsense. Shi Nian dropped it for you. It's suitable for you and your Ye Lingling."

"what?"

Qian Shui was speechless as he shoved the skull of wisdom into Yin Jin's hand. Everyone was staring intently, but in the end, they all became reluctant to take the initiative, just as obedient as before.

"Since you're not going to take the initiative, I'll just distribute them directly! Medusa's Gaze goes to Sister Sasha, and you can divide the rest among yourselves."

The emerald green skull in her hand emanated a strong fluctuation of soul power, which put Chen Sha in a difficult position. In Qian Shui's eyes, they were still too obedient, but people eventually grow up and understand more, so naturally they have concerns. "Xiao Shui, we can't accept something for nothing. Although we want the soul bone, how can we accept it if you do this?"

“Sasha is right, Brother Shui. We’re good friends, but I don’t need to take your things for free.” At this point, even Yin Jin calmed down.

But then, changing the subject, she raised an eyebrow and teased, "Make some demands, otherwise it'll seem fake~"

"Tsk...you've improved!"

The atmosphere in the room always softened because of Yin Jin's words; this was a way of dealing with the world, and Qian Shui understood it perfectly.

"have a look."

"A papal decree? Alright, I knew it!"

Qian Shui gave Yin Jin a disdainful look, then simply shook the papal decree given to her by Bibi Dong and put it away.

The last time I saw this sign was with Yu Xiaogang, but this time it was given to me by Bibi Dong. "I have a plan that I want you to cooperate with, but I don't want it to be because of the Pope's decree and this soul bone."

"Xiao Shui, you said that even from the perspective of interests, we would follow you, even if it meant we had to betray the Spirit Hall... Could it really be true?" Chen Sha had only said half of what she said when Qian Shui's eyes started to dart away.

At this moment, Qian Renxue, her face flushed, chuckled foolishly and muttered, "Oh dear~ Xiao Shui just wants you guys to go back to Tian Dou City with him~ Otherwise, my act would have been too fake~ Hehe~ I had to go all the way~"

Ignoring Qian Renxue's dizzy state, Qian Shui explained, "That's right. This play mainly emphasizes the conflict between myself and the Spirit Hall. Then, Xiaoxue is disguised as a doting, love-struck person, and the Grand Elder is a grandfather who dotes on his granddaughter."

"This needs to be reasonable. As teammates, it's only natural that you and I would come to Tiandou City to find me if we couldn't stand Xiaoxue's actions."

"I see. It seems His Holiness the Pope has agreed." Qian Shui explained, and Chen Sha nodded in understanding. Only one question remained: "Qian Shui, what I don't understand is, what exactly are you planning to do? What is your ultimate goal?"

"Unify the Douluo Continent without relying on the Spirit Hall!"

……

The reason for the reassignment of teammates is that the number of trustworthy people in Tiandou City is really limited. Those who know their identities and purposes are either like the little apprentice and Xiao Wu, who are weak and lack the ability in this regard.

Or perhaps it's the Ice and Snow Emperors, or the two titled Douluo, Serpent Spear and Porcupine, but their identities are too awkward.

After the commotion in Wuhun City, putting aside Ling Yunzhi for the moment, it became natural for him to clear the names of his other teammates.

The gathering ended as dawn broke, and in fact, it concluded with everyone absorbing soul bones under Qian Shui's watchful eye, making it a rather anticlimactic affair.

However, the little angel did not return to the Elder Hall, but instead clung to Qian Shui and returned to the Heavenly Dou Empire's territory.

He laid Qian Renxue flat on the large bed. "Little Xue, be a good girl~ If you've had too much to drink, get some sleep~"

"Oh no!" The little angel suddenly jumped up and pinned Qian Shui down on the bed. "Qian Shui~ Xiao Xue is a bad woman today~ Xiao Xue is going to be mean to Qian Shui~"
