Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 168 The Crisis of the Angelic Throne

While they were talking, Qian Renxue and Shen Yuanyi also made their way into the dense fog forest.

They arrived a little late, and Qian Renxue didn't overhear the main points of their conversation. It was only about choosing a soul beast.

"They're going to hunt soul beasts in this forest to replenish their soul rings," Shen Yuanyi silently transmitted through her soul.

"Why come all the way to the Sun Moon Empire to hunt soul beasts? Are they newly ascended, or do they have a specific target?" Qian Renxue frowned as well.

"I feel the former is more likely. If they really had a target spirit beast, they wouldn't need to stay in this foggy forest for so long," Shen Yuanyi replied.

Before meeting Qian Renxue, Shen Yuanyi was always arranged by Ye Xishui to work at the Tiandou City branch of the Tianhun Empire, where she was considered a little princess.

She had been on the battlefield far more often than the average person, and her combat skills were honed through rigorous training. Therefore, the inexperienced students at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy were no match for her.

"They probably came with a mission, but there wasn't much of a time limit for completing it." Qian Renxue pondered for a moment. "And coincidentally, someone in the team needed to hunt for a spirit ring, and it seems they need a fourth spirit ring, so they stopped here."

"However, based on the images you brought back, these people are indeed... bastards?" Shen Yuanyi said.

She knew why Qian Renxue liked to call the Shrek Academy people "bastards"—it was because their dark green outfit was just too eye-catching. The young lady wasn't one to use foul language; this was considered quite violent by her standards.

However, she felt that the term was not aggressive enough.

"Hmm, their attire is too obvious. Also, unlike when we met them, this time they only have people from that academy, and there are no outside helpers." Qian Renxue confirmed the group's identity once again.

That's good too; once we start working, there's no burden at all.

Qian Renxue didn't intend to act immediately, because this group wasn't just her target, but also part of the assessment. Shrek Academy wasn't just her enemy, but also a member of the Sun Moon Empire.

She and Shen Yuanyi continued to lie in wait there, ensuring that the group would not leave for the time being.

They didn't just wait there. Qian Renxue asked Shen Yuanyi to keep watch for the time being, while she herself explored the surrounding area.

"Hmm?" She frowned.

A faint sense of awareness arose in her mind. This forest wasn't very large; with her current mental strength, she could scan it completely without any blind spots in just a few minutes if she used her divine sense.

It was now daytime, and sunlight streamed through the trees. These pure light elements served as her medium for detection, a testament to her power of light and the sun.

As her spiritual energy radiated around her, she sensed a peculiar thought, a joyous celebration emanating from these light elements.

"It's because your mental strength has become even stronger after inheriting my abilities," Electrox's voice appeared in her mental sea.

It turned out to be the case.

Qian Renxue knew that the old man Electrolux also possessed the attribute of light, and the so-called necromancy he inherited was different from the abilities of evil spirit masters; it was a spell filled with the aura of light.

For the past two months, she has indeed been studying the mysteries of magic. During her nightly meditations, she would dedicate a third of her time to gaining insights under Electrox's guidance.

Could it be that during this process, he inadvertently amplified his light attribute once again? And strengthened his mental power once more?

It's difficult to pinpoint her current level of spiritual power. If she doesn't use her divine sense, she'd be around the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. But if she does use her divine sense, she'd directly reach the Spirit Abyss Realm. However, she rarely uses her divine sense to assist herself anymore.

Ye Xishui had told her about the Seed of Godhood during her cultivation. If it were stolen, it would be equivalent to giving away the Godhood to someone else at her own expense, and even the gods above the God Realm would lose their Godhood as a result.

Qian Renxue's Angelic Godhood is currently sealed. It won't reappear until she obtains her true angelic form at the seventh ring. This would mean the Angelic Godhood will reunite in the God Realm, and the seed of godhood will reappear in her mind. At that time, the first-level main god, the Angel God, will be directly exposed in the God Realm. However, in the eyes of the gods, it will be seen as the emergence of a new Angel God, like the first generation of angels, rather than the emergence of a new Angelic God lineage.

However, this is also a huge crisis.

Before this, Qian Renxue needs to minimize the use of her divine sense, in case she is discovered by other high-level soul masters or even high-level soul beasts, they will hunt her down.

She took a deep breath, immersing herself completely in this magical state. She was on her way to a mission, but she didn't want to miss this opportunity.

Even without her, Shen Yuanyi and Xue Di could guide the group to complete the mission, so she didn't need to worry.

Her spiritual power expanded continuously along with the abundant light elements, like an invisible ripple spreading outwards. The particles of light elements were also continuously scattered along with her spiritual power. This time, she truly achieved a breakthrough in spiritual power, taking in the entire forest.

Like a three-dimensional image, she can use her mental power to rotate, enlarge, and shrink the image, seeing every detail clearly.

If it were nighttime, her mental detection abilities would be somewhat diminished, because moonlight is less intense than sunlight, and the light element is not as abundant. However, moonlight is simply another form of sunlight, so it is not entirely useless.

As time passed, the aura that Qian Renxue had been suppressing began to amplify silently.

"Why did Xiaoxue choose to break through her mental power at a time like this?" In a place where Shen Yuanyi couldn't see, Ye Xishui smiled silently, then set up a mental power barrier, covering Shrek Academy's camp.

She did not choose to envelop Qian Renxue because doing so would interrupt Qian Renxue's cultivation.

Qian Renxue closed her eyes, seemingly sensing a bit of an outsider in the three images. She could feel Ye Xishui's scent on them.

However, she felt that this barrier was not simply made of spiritual power; it also contained the element of light. It was likely that Ye Xishui had attached the soul power of the Phoenix of Light to it.

After absorbing its first spirit ring, the Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul underwent a subtle change. This was because the Radiant Falcon itself possessed some spatial power. Consequently, the barrier set up by Ye Xishui also contained subtle spatial power, separating everyone in the camp.

Qian Renxue's heart was suddenly stirred. She hadn't expected that her teacher would give her such a big gift at this time.

Because it is extremely difficult to regain a sense of the laws of space, she must seize every opportunity, and at this moment, her spiritual perception is at its peak.

It's not that she hasn't mastered the power of space; on the contrary, because she once entered the dimensional barrier, she knows some of the characteristics of the laws of space itself.

Therefore, even if the spatial power was only attached to a simple barrier at this moment, she could still draw some insights from it to help herself recover.

When she restores her spatial abilities, she will be faster than anyone else in the world. At that time, she should be at the level of a Super Douluo.

Regarding Qian Renxue's spiritual power, her current spiritual power cultivation level is more than two rings higher than her original cultivation level, which is roughly at the level of Soul Emperor.

Instead of using data from Douluo Continent III to specifically illustrate the amount of spiritual power, the author has decided to use the hierarchical divisions found in cultivation novels to explain it.

If we're going to categorize it, we can use low-level, mid-level, high-level, perfect, and peak to divide the levels of spiritual power, which is quite obvious.

Therefore, Qian Renxue's current spiritual power at the Soul Emperor level is about the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, which is reasonable. She is currently just short of the Soul Sect level. If she were an ordinary Soul Master, she would be about the middle stage of the Spirit Connection Realm at this time.

She should use her divine sense sparingly now, partly out of caution, but its existence helps her cultivate her spiritual power—a passive skill. I remember in Douluo Continent V, the reborn Tang San also had divine sense in his mind, thus cultivating his spiritual power; this setting is reasonable.
