In Douluo Continent, there is a proper way to die.

Chapter 91 The Second Sea of ​​Consciousness

Apart from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, a mythical beast of imperial power, soul beasts with a cultivation level of less than 100,000 years do not have the ability to initiate a sacrifice on their own. They must be guided and helped by Gu Yuena to activate the sacrifice.

In addition, the sacrifice of a soul beast less than 100,000 years old cannot seal off excess energy on its own based on the soul master's strength. Therefore, even if the sacrifice can be successfully initiated, the soul master's physical condition must meet the requirements for success.

Before the sacrifice began, Yinlan suddenly spoke up, "Sister Xue'er, remember, what you need is a self-amplifying type or a special mechanism type—an ability you can't learn later in life. You must remember that!"

Qian Renxue looked at Yin Lan with some doubt. What kind of soul skills can a soul master acquire? Isn't it based on what the soul beast can do, and then it's randomly acquired? If this Illusionary Winged Holy Light Beast doesn't have these two types of soul skills, what use would it be for her even if she wanted them?

But she nodded nonetheless and replied, "I understand."

"Ready? Shall I begin?" Just to be on the safe side, Gu Yuena asked again. She was no longer the silly, fat dragon she used to be. To ensure future cooperation between the two parties, she naturally couldn't let anything happen to Qian Renxue.

"I'm fine now." Qian Renxue nodded.

Gu Yuena gestured for the Phantom Winged Holy Light Beast to come to Qian Renxue's side, and the sacrificial light shone. At the same time, she added, "If something unexpected happens and we see that you can't withstand it, I will forcibly stop your soul ring absorption."

"I will definitely succeed!" A determined look appeared on Qian Renxue's beautiful face.

Under Gu Yuena's guidance, the power within the Phantom Winged Holy Light Beast began to surge outward, quickly forming a deep black soul ring that floated towards Qian Renxue on its own, while the Phantom Winged Holy Light Beast's aura grew weaker and weaker.

A black spirit ring was placed on Qian Renxue's body. Qian Renxue felt a powerful energy suddenly surge into her meridians, causing her meridians to ache. At the same time, an invisible pressure that only she could feel also burst out instantly. She felt as if she had been hit on the head with a club, and her vision became dizzy.

This is... a soul ring that's been around for 30,000 years...

Her face flushed red, and sweat began to seep from her body, making Qian Daoliu, who was watching from the side, nervously scratch his head and resist the urge to interrupt his granddaughter's continued absorption.

After all, Qian Renxue only looked a little uncomfortable, but not to the point of pain. The silver-haired woman also said that if she found that Qian Renxue could not absorb the nutrients, she would interrupt her. As the ruler of all soul beasts, the other party must understand Qian Renxue's physical condition better than she did.

Gu Yuena didn't mess up this time, but she was also keeping a close eye on Qian Renxue's condition. Just as Tianmeng said, Qian Renxue's body could indeed withstand the soul ring, but her mental strength seemed to be in a bad state, already slightly exceeding the threshold she could bear. If this continued, she might not be able to withstand the soul shock of the soul ring.

Just as Gu Yuena hesitated and was about to intervene to stop the sacrifice, suddenly, the flush on Qian Renxue's face quickly faded, her back straightened again, and her breathing returned to normal.

What's going on?

A look of surprise appeared on Gu Yuena's face. Others present could not sense it, but she was the one who was in charge of this sacrifice. In her perception, a brand new spiritual power suddenly appeared in Qian Renxue's spiritual sea, which instantly increased the strength of Qian Renxue's spiritual power by several points, enough to absorb this soul ring.

As we all know, mental strength cannot be replenished with the help of others, let alone increased in strength. Therefore, this mental strength must be something that Qian Renxue originally possessed, but it is unknown why she is only using it now.

But if that's the case, then shouldn't her mental strength be what Tianmeng previously assessed as "insufficient to absorb a 30,000-year soul ring"? Could it be that Tianmeng's test was wrong? Is her mental strength actually higher?

Gu Yuena was completely baffled, but being able to absorb it safely was a good thing. Qian Renxue had her own secrets, and she was too embarrassed to pry into them.

In the past, she would definitely have pressed for an explanation, but under Yinlan's guidance, she has come to understand that sometimes it's necessary to know when to stop.

Within Qian Renxue's spiritual sea, the white-haired, red-eyed "Qian Renxue" dressed in a black dress looked with some disdain at the golden-haired Qian Renxue in front of her, who was sitting cross-legged with her eyes closed and was feeling drowsy due to the pressure of the soul ring. She then glanced with some trepidation at Gu Yuena, who was still puzzled outside, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The mental strength that Tianmeng detected in Qian Renxue was indeed only Qian Renxue's mental strength, and she did not discover her existence. The group of soul beasts were unexpectedly well-behaved and only tested Qian Renxue's mental strength. They did not go any further and enter her sea of ​​spirits, so no one outside noticed that Qian Renxue had two seas of spirits.

"What an arrogant guy," Qian Renxue said, somewhat speechless, as she stepped forward and pinched Qian Renxue's cheeks. "If it weren't for me, this soul ring would have been a complete waste. Sigh."

Seeing that his granddaughter's breathing had become steady, Qian Daoliu finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Yin Lan and the others: "I thank you all again."

His formal and literary manner made Yinlan feel uncomfortable, and she didn't know how to respond, so she nodded to indicate that she had heard him, and then continued to look at Qian Renxue.

She wanted to confirm one of her assumptions.

............................................................

Half a day later, Qian Renxue woke up from her meditation. The first thing she did was rub her slightly numb face, asking as she did so, "Did one of you pinch my face while I was absorbing the soul ring?"

When she was absorbing the spirit ring, she always felt like someone was kneading her face like dough, and she still felt a little numb and tingly.

The latest novel is first published here!

"Nobody touched you?" Yinlan looked at her with some confusion. "You can ask Senior Qian Daoliu if you don't believe me."

"Everyone was focused on protecting you, no one touched you, Xiaoxue," Qian Daoliu nodded honestly, then pressed on with curiosity, "Xiaoxue, tell me about your fifth soul skill?"

It's no wonder he was curious. The Qian family's fifth soul skill hadn't changed for a thousand years. After listening to Yin Lan's theory, as a peerless Douluo (Limit Douluo) with a six-winged angel martial soul, he cared more about Qian Renxue's unknown soul skill than anyone else.

Ci Xue and She Long were equally curious. Their fifth spirit rings were only at the level of a thousand-year spirit ring, while the young master's fifth spirit ring was a limit-breaking thirty-thousand-year spirit ring!

They were too embarrassed to ask about the effects of Yinlan's transcendent soul ring and soul skill, but since the Grand Elder had already asked about Qianrenxue's soul skill, they could listen in and satisfy their curiosity.
