Douluo Continent: I came from Demon Slayer!

Chapter 153 Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

The heavy doors of the main hall slowly opened, and Qian Renxue walked alone through the magnificent hall, which spanned thousands of square meters.

The hall appeared extremely spacious, making her figure appear incredibly small.

The towering dome, over fifty meters high, is adorned with ninety-nine giant chandeliers.

The soft yet penetrating light illuminated every corner of the hall with exquisite detail.

Thirty-six gilded pillars, each requiring ten people to encircle, stand on either side, with a meticulously carved dragon statue at the base of each pillar.

Above the columns are relief carvings of angels, each one lifelike.

At the far end of the hall stands a large papal throne.

At this moment, a woman sits on the throne.

She looked extremely young, seemingly not even thirty.

He was dressed in a magnificent black robe with gold trim and wore a nine-curved purple-gold crown.

A scepter about two meters long, inlaid with countless precious gems, floated silently beside me.

But the aura emanating from him was like a volcano about to erupt, making the entire hall seem to freeze completely.

Her gaze was icy as she looked down at the unhurried figure below, her eyes swirling with hatred, resentment, anger, and a barely perceptible hint of complexity.

She is none other than Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall!

Below her, on either side, stood a figure.

He was a man who looked extremely alluring and resembled a woman in both appearance and mannerisms.

The other was shrouded in black mist, appearing both ethereal and unreal.

All that could be seen were a pair of deep black eyes, like a wisp of mist floating in the air.

The unyielding aura emanating from the two individuals demonstrated their strength as Title Douluo.

These two are Bibi Dong's two top combatants: Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

As Qian Renxue stood still, Bibi Dong's suppressed anger suddenly rang out in the hall, "Why did you come back? Who gave you permission to return?"

Facing Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue remained unfazed, her cool voice rang out calmly, "I don't want to waste my time on meaningless things anymore. Are you satisfied with this reason?"

"You bastard!"

Bibi Dong angrily retorted, "Do you even know how much the Spirit Hall has invested in you over the years?"

"That was for your plan, not for me."

Qian Renxue's tone rose slightly, "Besides, it's none of your business how I handle things, isn't it... Sister?"

Bibi Dong's face stiffened, then she flew into a rage: "How dare you! Who do you think you're talking to?"

She suddenly stood up, and a surging pressure, like a mountain, crushed down on Qian Renxue.

However, before that oppressive aura even got close, it quietly dissipated and vanished without a trace.

Qian Renxue didn't even lift her eyelids at this; in fact, the woman's reaction was exactly what she had expected.

"Since Xue Qinghe is already dead, if you want to stage a drama of the Heavenly Prince coming back to life, then I suggest you send your dearest disciple."

Qian Renxue's voice carried an indescribable mockery.

As soon as she finished speaking, she ignored Bibi Dong's unpleasant expression and turned to leave.

At this moment, Bibi Dong seemed to have thought of something, slowly sat down, and said in a calm voice, "You care a lot about that boy named Lin Yang, don't you?"

Qian Renxue paused, stopped in her tracks, lowered her eyes, and said without turning her head, "I owe him a life. If you lay a hand on him, don't blame me for tearing down your Papal Palace..."

"With that, Qian Renxue's figure slowly left the Papal Palace."

Only Bibi Dong, whose face was pale, remained.

Click—!

The armrests of the revered papal throne were easily crushed into powder by a pair of delicate hands.

A gloomy atmosphere seemed to have settled over Tiandou City.

The death of the imperial heir has undoubtedly had a huge impact, involving countless powerful figures and forces.

There was much discussion among the public about Xue Qinghe's death.

Some believe it's the Spirit Hall, some believe it's the Star Luo Empire, and others believe it's a power struggle and internal strife.

Various versions have been circulating widely.

Only Lin Yang knew that Qian Renxue had broken free of her shackles and returned to the Spirit Hall.

However, as Xue Qinghe's apparent friend, Lin Yang still went to pay his respects to Xue Qinghe.

Because he died without a complete body, only Xue Qinghe's family members in mourning were present in the mourning hall.

After offering his condolences, Lin Yang left directly.

Avalanche wanted to go up and say something, but Prince Snowstar grabbed him.

"Royal Uncle?"

"Don't rush!"

Xue Xing's eyes held a hint of excitement, but even more so, caution.

"You are not allowed to do anything now, and you are not allowed to win over anyone. Just go to the emperor's office on time every day."

Why?

Avalanche looked indignant.

Xue Qinghe is finally dead, so why isn't he seizing the opportunity to become the crown prince?

Xue Xing took a deep breath, suppressing her soaring blood pressure, and couldn't help but whisper, "You are now the only prince; the position of crown prince will be yours sooner or later."

"What you need to do now is not to fight, but to wait. As long as you are patient, people will naturally come to you."

"That Lin Yang..."

"Lin Yang has a complicated background and is protected by the Poison Douluo. We can't rush to win him over."

Hearing his uncle's advice, Xue Beng finally nodded.

Time heals all wounds, and Xue Qinghe's name was soon gradually forgotten.

In its place came the new crown prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire—Avalanche.

Lin Yang didn't care who the crown prince was or who the heir to the empire was.

After paying his respects to Xue Qinghe, he went to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye for seclusion.

This period of seclusion will be very long, because he needs to condense his soul core.

As a transmigrator, he was all too aware of the importance of the soul core.

A soul core is a core formed by compressing liquid soul power into a solid state. It can be regarded as the soul power core of a soul master, equivalent to the inner core of a soul beast.

Once formed, the soul core is stored in the dantian and has the function of accelerating the recovery of soul power.

Once a Soul Master possesses a Soul Core, their combat power and endurance will far surpass those of ordinary Soul Masters.

Because there was no concept of "soul core" at this time, the only thing similar to it was Dugu Bo's Danzhu.

Therefore, he specifically consulted Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo naturally didn't keep anything to himself and revealed all his experiences and processes when he condensed the elixir.

In summary, there are two most important aspects to condensing a soul core:

Powerful mental strength and precise control over soul power.

Lin Yang meets both of these criteria perfectly.

His spiritual power has been enhanced through the Great Sun Meditation Method and cultivation, and he is now at the advanced stage of the Spirit Sea Realm.

Although it's not top-tier, it's more than enough for cultivating soul cores.

And the precise control of soul power goes without saying.

Breathing techniques are the ultimate control over soul power and the body; otherwise, so many moves could not have been derived from them.

The only massive amount of soul power required can only be replenished by the energy from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
