Soul Town: Claiming the throne? You've asked my Tian Ce Army, haven't you?

Li Moxuan guessed her thoughts and decisively refused, "I'm not going to that black tower, but to find some of my companions on this floor..."

"That means I'm going to explore this entire floor. I don't know how strong the monsters I'll encounter will be. You'll die if you come with me!"

The girl quickly said, "I'm not afraid..."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "And you must be new to the Great Thousand God Realm, right? I've been here for a while and know quite a bit!"

"Instead of wandering around like a headless fly, why not take me along as a living map?"

It must be said that what she said does make some sense. Li Moxuan was a newcomer, and with Li Shimin being such an encyclopedia, even Chang'an City disappeared.

Li Moxuan is currently completely ignorant of the entire Great Thousand God Realm...

After a moment's consideration, Li Moxuan nodded, "We can form a team temporarily, but you must tell me everything you know, and you must follow my command in all actions!"

"no problem!"

Seeing that Li Moxuan had agreed, the girl was very happy and hurriedly agreed as well, afraid that he would change his mind.

"Okay, what's your name?"

“Su Xuanwei, Su as in destiny, Xuan as in mystery, Miao as in subtlety…”

Is it the subtle "micro"?

During the ensuing conversation, Li Moxuan learned from her about the realm divisions of the Great Thousand God Realm's Deities, which, from lowest to highest, are Self-Illumination, Qi Control, Realm Forging, Creation, and Immortality.

Of course, immortality is only the limit for humans; Su Xuanwei wasn't entirely clear about the realms beyond becoming a god...

Each of these five realms has nine sub-realms. Among them, as long as one reaches the ninth realm of immortality and passes through the central black tower—the Tower of Godhood—one can become a god...

Moreover, unlike spirit beings, the guardian deity of a deity has little to do with bloodline; it depends entirely on the innate divine nature within them.

If a person's divine nature is chosen by a deity, that person will become their guardian deity...

"Can a person only have one guardian angel?"

"Of course!"

While eating his noodles, Su Xuanwei mumbled, "Guardian gods are also deities. An ordinary guardian deity's divine power can only withstand the divine power of one god at most. If it exceeds that, their body will explode!"

"To have multiple guardian deities, theoretically speaking, one must either possess multiple divine cores within their body, or the divine core within their body must be the divine core of the most supreme deity!"

I see... I wonder what the quality of the divine essence within me is like...

"Is there no precedent for having multiple guardian deities?"

Su Xuan shook her head slightly. She didn't know about the existence of the Underworld, let alone that there were beings like the Martial God Body with multiple guardian spirits in the Underworld.

Of course, the main reason is also because no one from the Underworld has ever set foot in the Great Thousand World before, and Li Moxuan and his group are setting a precedent...

According to Su Xuanwei, Li Moxuan's current divine status should be at the World Forging Realm, but she didn't know exactly which realm he had reached.

"By the way, big brother, who is your guardian angel?"

Su Xuanwei was a little curious, "You're this powerful without a guardian spirit's help. Your guardian spirit must be incredibly powerful, right?"

"do not know……"

Li Moxuan himself was unsure. He could not sense the presence of the guardian spirits, nor did he know if they would disappear and transform into another guardian deity.

Or perhaps all nine guardian spirits will transform into something akin to guardian deities; in that case, I wonder if my body could withstand it...

He has now overturned his previous assumption that his guardian spirit will most likely not transform into their mythological identity.

After all, Xue Rengui and Guo Ziyi are rumored to be reincarnations of the White Tiger Star Lord, so it's impossible that both of them transformed into the White Tiger Star Lord, right?

Moreover, if Li Jing were to transform into Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, then Nezha might actually make him fall off the pagoda and die in the heavens...

In addition, many of his guardian spirits do not possess mythological identities, such as Li Cunxiao, Su Dingfang, and Wang Zhongsi...

He had asked Li Shimin about this matter before, but Li Shimin, who liked to play riddles, said that he would understand after he arrived in the Great Thousand World.

Li Moxuan sighed and looked at Su Xuanwei, who had already eaten and drunk her fill, "Are you full?"

"Uh-huh!"

"Alright, I'll find you a place to stay. Take a good wash and change into some clean clothes, don't look like a beggar..."

"how about you?"

“I have a place to stay…”

Chapter 307: The Male and Female Thieves

The next day.

After a night of rest, Li Moxuan led Su Xuanwei back into the Great Thousand God Realm to kill demons. He couldn't keep waiting for his guardian spirit to be summoned before taking action.

While killing the monsters, you might also find out some news about Bai Shui'er and the others.

However, this level is no smaller than the underworld, and it won't be a matter of just a day or two to explore it completely; we'll have to take it slowly...

With the blessing of the four divine pearls, Li Moxuan was far beyond the reach of ordinary Wujian, and dealing with the surrounding demons was as easy as cutting vegetables.

These monsters are like upgraded versions of evil spirits from the underworld; there are all sorts of them.

Most of the people Li Moxuan encounters now don't have clearly defined facial features; they only exude a fierce aura...

For example, the head of a humanoid monster is covered with a large amount of twisted, surging white muscle, with a huge, ripped mouth full of sharp teeth in the center.

Wearing a magnificent robe covered with intricate cloud patterns, and with a string of round Buddhist beads hanging from her neck, she resembled the official attire of a Qing Dynasty official.

Despite his terrifying appearance, he was actually quite weak, at least in Li Moxuan's eyes...

He was in front, wielding the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd and hacking and slashing wildly, while Su Xuanwei was behind him, collecting the blue starlight-like spiritual radiance from the corpses of demons using a purple glass bottle.

With Li Moxuan's financial support, Su Xuanwei dressed himself up nicely and finally looked somewhat like a deity...

She tied her long, silvery-white hair into a neat ponytail, with delicate braids hanging down on both sides. The strands of hair had a pale blue sheen and were as clear as snow in the light.

Her face was delicate and petite, and after a bath, her skin was as white and smooth as porcelain. Her eyebrows and eyes were long and slender, and her clear blue eyes carried a faint sense of aloofness.

She was wearing a white turtleneck wide-striped knit top with a cutout at the chest, and dark tight shorts that revealed her slender waist and long legs.

Judging from her appearance, she could be considered a pretty young woman, so Li Moxuan could more or less understand why she had made herself so dirty before...

"Big brother, you're amazing!"

While frantically collecting spiritual energy from the monster corpses behind him, Su Xuanwei shouted "666" as he experienced the thrill of being carried by Tongtian Dai for the first time.

Li Moxuan ignored her and continued clearing the monsters on his own. He could feel his strength increasing as he killed the monsters...

After clearing out the last batch of monsters, Li Moxuan seemed to sense something. He turned around and gently raised his hand towards Su Xuanwei, instantly enveloping her in a golden barrier.

Before Su Xuanwei could react, two bolts of lightning struck her, shattering the golden barrier...

Su Xuanwei realized that the situation was not good, so she hurriedly put away the purple glass bottle and hid next to Li Moxuan, with three golden talismans in her hand.

Li Moxuan pulled the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd from the demon's body and quietly watched the direction from which the lightning struck. Soon, the lightning struck again, and Li Moxuan swung the Cloud-Shattering City-Breaking Halberd to cleave it in two.

"You've got some skills, handsome young man!"

A voice came from the shadows, and then a woman wearing an eye patch over her right eye stepped out.

A silver line snaked downwards from her left eye, and she wore three lightning bolt-shaped silver earrings on her left ear. She was also wearing a black short jacket with silver lightning bolt markings.

"It was her?!"

Su Xuanwei's pupils contracted sharply, and he moved closer to Li Moxuan, gripping the talisman even tighter, his whole body tensing up.

Li Moxuan glanced at the woman; her aura was slightly stronger than Su Xuanwei's, and her divine realm should have just reached the World Forging Realm.

Without summoning his guardian spirit, Li Moxuan was absolutely certain of defeating her, but once he did, things might change...

Li Moxuan turned to look at Su Xuanwei, who seemed a little nervous, and asked, "You know her?"

"Yes, her name is Dianli Shuang. She and Lei Jingming are a notorious pair of thieves in this area, often robbing the local residents..."

Su Xuanwei's eyes scanned the surroundings. "However, the duo of thieves never act alone. I'm afraid the other one has come too..."

"They have indeed arrived!"

With a clap of thunder, Li Moxuan hurriedly pulled Su Xuanwei away and jumped to a distance. Looking back, the place where the two had been standing had been blasted into a large crater by lightning.

"A Deity-Born who, like me, is at the third level of the Realm Forging, has such a fast reaction speed..."

Behind Dian Liushuang, a burly, bald man with a short beard and a cigarette dangling from his mouth stepped out. This was Lei Jingming, the man Su Xuanwei had mentioned.

Lei Jingming was also wearing a black jacket, and a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his face stretched from his right cheek to his bald head, making him look very ferocious and not someone to be trifled with.

He exhaled a smoke ring. "If you know what's good for you, hand over all the Linghui, so we don't have to take action!"

Li Moxuan frowned. "You're also going into the Tower of Ascension?"

Lei Jingming scoffed as if he'd heard a joke, "Only a fool would do something so suicidal."

Dianli Shuang couldn't help but laugh. "Throughout history, countless deities have attempted to ascend to the Tower of Godhood, but they either died on the way or inside the tower!"

"The only one who successfully ascended to godhood was that legendary swordsman who cleaved through the Tower of Ascension with a single sword strike. You think you can ascend to godhood? You're more likely to die, hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Su Xuanwei, who was standing next to Li Moxuan, lowered her gaze and subconsciously clenched her fists...

Li Moxuan didn't notice her unusual behavior. He was increasingly convinced that this swordsman was Tie Zu, and even the legends he left behind were so impressive...

"Since you're not going to climb the Tower of Gods, why are you stealing our spiritual radiance?"

"Who told you that Radiant Light can only be used to ascend to the Tower of Gods?"

Su Xuanwei, who had calmed down a bit, leaned over and explained, "Big brother, spiritual energy can also be used for cultivation, so it's the common currency here..."

"Alright, I'm too lazy to waste any more words with you guys!"

Lei Jingming threw his cigarette butt on the ground and said impatiently, "Hand over the spiritual energy you have right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

The electric frost beside him chimed in, "That's right! Rather than dying on the way to the Tower of Gods and being wasted on those monsters, it's better to hand them over to us. It'll save your lives!"

What kind of twisted logic is this?

"Sorry, I don't have the habit of handing over spoils of war!"

As Li Moxuan spoke, he placed his hand on Su Xuanwei's shoulder. Su Xuanwei stiffened and turned his head rigidly, "Big...Big Brother, you..."

Before she could finish speaking, a surge of divine power entered her body, and then the scenery around her changed rapidly, and in the blink of an eye she appeared on a deserted street dozens of miles away.

Li Moxuan took his hand off her shoulder. "Let's go! Let's find another place to grind monsters. They shouldn't be able to find us for a while..."
