Chapter 23: Heading to Tiandou City
The absorption of the ten thousand year soul ring was just as Qin Zhuo had expected. The soul ring energy did not have a very serious impact on the body. It could even be said to be very easy for him!
The most intuitive feeling is that during the process of absorbing this soul ring, the body's strength becomes very limited, and there is almost no pain.
On the contrary, the counterattack of the soul beast's remnant seemed unusually strong. The thunder and electric eel even transformed into a complete body in his sea of consciousness, wanting to drag the human in front of him to destruction together.
Qin Zhuo guessed that this guy might have felt that his death was too miserable, so the regret he left behind was so crazy.
However, with the existence of the wisdom soul bone that condenses the spirit, and he has been practicing the Void Sutra, his spiritual sea is as solid as a rock. No matter how hard the thunder and magnetic electric eel torments him, it will not cause serious impact.
Therefore, he has enough capital and resources to deal with the remnant of this soul beast. After all, it is just a duckweed without water and will not exist for long.
Qin Zhuo was still thinking about fighting a protracted war, but another existence in the sea of consciousness was not in the mood for that.
Faced with the lively little eel, the Void Mirror just shook slightly and directly sucked the residual thoughts into the mirror surface.
Qin Zhuo:...
"Okay, okay! As the master of a martial spirit, you actually don't understand your own martial spirit at all! You should have told me you had this ability earlier! I was worried for so long before I even got the spirit bone!"
Qian Daoliu saw that Qin Zhuo looked depressed as soon as he opened his eyes, and thought something had gone wrong, so he quickly asked:
"Xiao Zhuo, are you okay? Is there something wrong?"
Everything was calm when absorbing the soul ring, and the expression on Xiao Zhuo's face was also neutral and peaceful. Logically, nothing should happen!
"Um...don't worry, uncle. I'm fine. I just feel a little unhappy..."
Qin Zhuo suppressed his displeasure and spoke, "Anyone would be a little unhappy if their martial spirit was hidden from them!"
"Well, I'm glad you're okay. This ten thousand year spirit ring should give you some good spirit skills!"
After a quick look, he didn't find anything wrong with Qin Zhuo, so Qian Daoliu thought that the soul skills brought by the soul ring made this kid dissatisfied, so he joked.
"Fortunately, although it is a little different from what I expected, I am still very satisfied."
Even though Qin Zhuo seemed to have absorbed the lightning eel as if he had encountered it accidentally, since he made the final move, it was obvious that he had decided to treat it as his own soul ring.
Qin Zhuo was too lazy to think about how soul beasts and soul masters should get along with each other, but he still agreed with the concept of sustainable development. Unless a soul beast threatened his life, he would basically not kill it if he could.
Of course, there is no way to deal with the soul beast that is looking for death. If one of them is destined to die, it must not be me!
"Then why are you so unhappy? Is it because you don't have a soul bone? Xiao Zhuo! Soul bones are not so easy to come across. Not every ten thousand year soul beast has one. If you really want to get soul bones, wait until you are strong enough and then go find a hundred thousand year soul beast. You will definitely get one."
Qian Daoliu comforted Qin Zhuo, and Qin Zhuo was so upset that he wanted to say a "Mi version of Liuliumei" to the old man.
"Uncle, let's go to Tiandou City! Stop talking nonsense here..."
As he was about to see his granddaughter, Qian Daoliu put aside his other thoughts and pulled Qin Zhuo up.
The Tiandou Empire is one of the two major empires on the Douluo Continent (the Sun and Moon Continents have not yet collided), and Tiandou City is its capital. Naturally, prosperity is one of its prominent features.
But the prosperity here is only the prosperity of the nobles and the powerful. The beggars wandering in the dark alleys are the current situation of the common people.
As an Extreme Douluo, Qian Daoliu naturally had no problem entering the Tiandou Palace, but this was the capital of an empire after all, and it would not be easy for them to show off this time.
So along the way, Qin Zhuo saw a lot of dark things in the imperial capital. After all, this is the core area of aristocratic rule, and there are some things that these masters cannot and will not control.
For these civilians, the spirit awakening provided by the Spirit Hall may be the only chance to change their destiny!
Looking at these civilian figures, Qin Zhuo couldn't help but think that in this world, soul masters possess powerful power, and the nobles control the soul masters' resources.
In order to maintain their rule, the nobles would only increase the number of their own people instead of wasting resources on creating people they could not control.
But if you want to stand out, becoming a soul master is the easiest and fastest way...
"The Spirit Hall has given everyone a chance, but there are some things that even I can't do anything about. No matter how powerful a force is, there are always things it can't take care of."
Seeing Qin Zhuo observing the civilians, Qian Daoliu spoke at the right time.
"The empire, the sects, and the powerful control the vast majority of the world's resources. Even if these people possess excellent martial spirits and talents, if they do not unite with them, they will only be able to maintain the status quo. Resources are limited."
Even the Spirit Hall cannot provide cultivation resources to every soul master, and when it comes to allocating resources, it will give priority to its own people first.
In this respect, the Spirit Hall and the nobles are actually the same, except that the Spirit Hall still gives ordinary people the opportunity to change their destiny.
"So, the Pope wants to change this situation, right?"
Thinking of Bibi Dong's declaration of war on the entire continent in the original novel, and Qian Daoliu's attitude towards Bibi Dong, Qin Zhuo seemed to understand why Qian Daoliu would accommodate her.
Whether Bibi Dong really wants to change the status quo or wants to use this righteous cause to destroy the Spirit Hall is not discussed for now. If the idea of the angel lineage is really to give civilians hope, then Qian Daoliu's side is reasonable.
If this is really the case, then Bibi Dong is such a disgusting person! Using the pure faith of the angels to destroy the foundation of the angels, just to vent her own anger, just to commemorate her love that should not exist...
"Maybe…"
Qian Daoliu hesitated for a moment, gave an ambiguous answer, pulled Qin Zhuo, quickened his pace, and headed towards the Tiandou Palace.
Qian Renxue's current identity is the crown prince of the Tiandou Empire, and his location is naturally the core area of the imperial palace. It is heavily guarded, but it cannot stop an Extreme Douluo.
The two entered the prince's bedroom. Perhaps the prince had something to do during the day, so Xue Qinghe was not there, so the two had to wait.
Qian Renxue had gone infiltrate at a young age in order to become Xue Qinghe. It would be a shame if she failed because of them.
Judging from the layout of the room, Qian Renxue has completely adapted to the identity of Xue Qinghe, and there is not a single feminine decoration to be seen.
This change that erased her nature was enough to show how much effort she had put into this lurking.
But precisely because of this, Qin Zhuo couldn't understand why the Angel God, who should have been resolute and absolutely rational, would have such an obsession with Tang San. Could it be simply because of the Sea God's uncultivated divine thoughts?
