Chapter 168: Love Deeply
Hearing Qian Daoliu's invitation, Pei Qing winked at Zhu Zhuqing and Ah Yin behind him.
The Angel God's blessing was a rare and valuable item. Although its specific effect was unknown, in a place like Douluo Continent, even a tiny bit of something leaked from a deity's fingernail was an incredible treasure.
Even if this blessing were useless, it would likely enhance the talents of Zhu Zhuqing and Ah Yin. After all, the Angel God was at least a Rank 1 God—a rare sight even in the God Realm—and among the most powerful gods below the Five God Kings.
"Thank you, Grand Supreme Pontiff!"
Zhu Zhuqing, with Ah Yin, quickly expressed her gratitude. To Di Mingli, the Angel God might not seem so high and mighty, but to Zhu Zhuqing and Ah Yin, the Angel God was practically a legendary figure.
Receiving a blessing from such a legendary figure was something they wouldn't have dared to imagine before.
"No need to be polite. Since you are Pei Qing's friends, you are naturally our own. A mere blessing from the Angel God is nothing."
As an Angel God's Envoy, Qian Daoliu naturally understood the significance of the Angel God's blessing.
The blessing merely accelerated cultivation speed and slightly enhanced one's talent on a small scale.
For talented Soul Masters, this blessing wasn't particularly precious. The true value lay in the significance behind receiving it.
Every person who received the Angel God's blessing was among Spirit Hall's most esteemed individuals and would receive full support in cultivation from Spirit Hall.
Soon, the group arrived deep within the Worship Hall, where they saw the statue of the Angel God.
Looking at the majestic and sacred statue, the women, seeing it for the first time, couldn't help but show shocked expressions.
Was this the legendary Angel God who, tens of thousands of years ago, single-handedly quelled chaos on the continent, annihilated fallen Soul Masters, and brought peace to the land?
Indeed, it was sacred and majestic. But why did this Angel God look so similar to Qian Renxue, who stood beside her?
Zhu Zhuqing was curious, but she didn't have much time to think, because soon, sacred light energy began to descend from the Angel God statue under Qian Daoliu's guidance.
The sacred light continuously washed over Di Mingli and the other women, warm and comfortable, making every cell in their bodies bloom with joy.
"We still have some time before the Angel God's blessing concludes. Pei Qing, why don't you and Xue'er join this old man for some tea?"
Qian Daoliu said gently, looking at Pei Qing and Qian Renxue.
"I am honored by the Grand Supreme Pontiff's invitation."
Qian Renxue wasn't particularly interested in tea, but she didn't refuse. Before leaving, she cast a few glances at Di Mingli. Although she had seen this Auspicious Beast before, she couldn't help but remain curious.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an auspicious Beast that controls destiny, could accelerate the cultivation speed of Soul Beasts and gather Luck. It was truly astonishing—wasn't this a walking treasure? No wonder it was called an Auspicious Beast.
"Pei Qing, if you plan to travel around the Douluo Continent, you should always be careful. I have an old friend named Tang Chen, the former Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect."
"This person's strength is terrifying. Even when I fought him, I was at a disadvantage."
"In my eyes, the current Clear Sky Sect is nothing more than a bunch of insects sucking blood from Tang Chen. All of their unique skills were created by him."
"The Clear Sky Hammer was not the number-one Martial Soul a hundred years ago; it earned that reputation only because of Tang Chen."
"This old friend of mine reached Limit Douluo early on, and at some point, he resigned as Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect to seek the legendary God's inheritance."
"I haven't been able to confirm if he's still alive these past years. I'm telling you this, Pei Qing, to remind you to be cautious."
"Because I believe that someone like him won't die easily."
Qian Daoliu's expression was serious, and when he spoke of Tang Chen, there was a hint of worry.
"Tang Chen, huh?"
A thoughtful look appeared in Pei Qing's eyes.
He naturally knew about Tang Chen; in fact, he even knew where Tang Chen was currently staying.
Tang Chen, who sought godhood and yearned to marry Bo Saixi by becoming a god, eventually obtained the Asura God's inheritance after many years of searching.
However, during the Asura God's eighth trial, Tang Chen was ambushed by the Asura God's old rival, the Rakshasa God, and was parasitized by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, becoming a puppet.
There was no need to worry about Tang Chen—because even if he managed to free himself from the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King's control, he wouldn't live much longer. After so many years under control, his body was severely depleted, and his life force was nearly exhausted.
Moreover, he had Bi Ji by his side, so there was no need to worry too much about him.
And the energy descending from the sky within his body was no ordinary opponent either.
Gu Yuena had once said that this energy wouldn't harm him; in fact, it might have been left deliberately by a certain god to protect him.
Blood-red and impossible for even Gu Yuena to remove, this energy probably came from only one person in the God Realm: the Asura God, the true master behind the Slaughter City.
As one of the true rulers of the God Realm, it was not surprising that he knew some details about the Great Sun Authority.
The reason he left this energy was likely because he knew that the Lord of the Great Sun's demise would cause a solar riot, leading to stars exploding across the galaxy. To prevent this, he left this protective energy.
After all, with the dominance of the Great Sun Authority, if he died accidentally, everyone in the galaxy could perish—and the gods as well.
In the Douluo Realm, gods could be trapped for tens of thousands of years when facing a black hole, let alone a galaxy-wide explosion.
"Grand Supreme Pontiff, rest assured, I should be fine."
"Besides, I have protection. Even if I do encounter Tang Chen, I believe I can handle it."
After assessing the situation, Pei Qing looked at Qian Daoliu confidently.
"You absolutely must not underestimate Tang Chen; he's not simple!"
Qian Daoliu still warned with some concern, his caution reminding Pei Qing of a saying:
Deep love!
What about Bo Saixi? Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were true lovers—saying they loved deeply was an understatement.
"I will be careful. If I meet Senior Tang Chen, I will greet him."
Hmm... I might just kill him and take the Asura Demonic Sword for fun!
