Chapter 13: "Mistrust and Transformation: The Golden Elixir of the Soul"
The reputation of the Wuhun Palace now even surpasses that of the two main empires, becoming the sanctuary of soul masters.
Within the Wuhun Hall, everyone knows Pope Bibi Dong, but few are aware of the existence of an exceptional master: Qian Daoliu, who leads the Council of Elders and is the father of the previous Pope, granting him a transcendental status.
What's even more impressive is that he has reached the rank of Ultimate Douluo, level 99, and is considered one of the three most powerful Ultimate Douluo in the world, known as invincible in the heavens.
Even more mysterious is the speed of Qian Daoliu, which is a puzzle to everyone, as even those who know him well only know of his extraordinary strength.
In less than two hours from receiving the news from the city of Tiandou to Qian Daoliu's arrival there, he had already obtained the golden elixir of soul power left by Xue Qinghe.
Under the cover of darkness, Qian Daoliu disappeared into the shadows, becoming invisible to all.
Despite the darkness, Qian Daoliu could clearly see the writing on the note he held in his hand.
"A golden elixir of soul power that would elevate my soul level to 100?" Qian Daoliu's eyes sparkled with a disdainful smile, and he quickly tore the paper with the strength of his hand.
Qian Daoliu was unaware of the origin of this golden elixir of soul power, but from the simple description, he knew it must be fake. How could something so extravagant exist in the world? If such an elixir were real, why would he be training so hard?
Moreover, he is the inheritor of the angelic martial spirit, and it is impossible for his soul to reach level 100.
Nevertheless, even though he couldn't reach level 100, he remained devoted to the Angel God.
Many years had passed since he left the Wuhun Palace. After receiving an urgent message from Qian Renxue, he thought something serious had happened. Now that he knew the situation, he decided to take a walk through the city of Tiandou.
When Qian Daoliu traveled across the continent in the past, he reached the city of Tiandou, but decades had passed since then.
The Tiandou Empire and the Starfall Empire had always been a serious concern for the Wuhun Palace and represented their strongest enemies in their attempt to unify the entire continent.
The Wuhun Palace had already presented its plans in the city of Tiandou and was on the verge of reaping the rewards of victory.
Even after many years, upon seeing the familiar landscape from decades ago, it was impossible not to relive scenes from the past.
Late at night, Qian Daoliu stealthily arrived at the prince's residence and met Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue), who had been waiting for him for a long time.
The grandfather and grandson hadn't seen each other in years, so they had a lot to catch up on.
Finally, Xue Qinghe asked the question that concerned her the most: "Grandfather, have you taken the golden elixir of soul power? Have you raised your soul power to level 100?" Qian Daoliu smiled and ruffled Xue Qinghe's hair as he replied, "Silly girl, how could such pills exist in this world? They are just deceptive tricks. I don't know who has the power to deceive you like this." Xue Qinghe's face changed slightly, as she didn't expect her grandfather not to believe her.
"Where is the golden elixir of soul power? Grandfather, you haven't thrown it away, have you?" Xue Qinghe quickly asked, anxiety in her eyes.
Qian Daoliu smiled and said, "Silly boy, that's your filial piety. How could I have thrown it away? It's right here."
When Xue Qinghe saw Qian Daoliu take out the golden elixir of soul power, a sigh of relief appeared on her face.
"Grandfather, this is real. If you consume it soon, your soul power can truly reach level 100," Xue Qinghe said with some anxiety.
Despite Xue Qinghe's reassurance, Qian Daoliu simply didn't believe her. Qian Daoliu had thoroughly researched the Wuhun Palace's books in the past to enhance his soul power and had traveled across the continent unsuccessfully.
Now, he naturally didn't believe that this so-called golden elixir of soul power could improve his soul power.
"My grandfather's soul power has reached level ninety-nine. It's impossible to improve it by one level in this lifetime. You don't have to worry about me," Qian Daoliu said.
Xue Qinghe shook her head firmly and said, "Grandfather, take it. Are you still afraid that I'm giving you poison? You'll know if I'm lying after taking it." Qian Daoliu hesitated.
She seemed anxious and wanted him to take the elixir. Most importantly, Qian Daoliu had great confidence in his own strength. Even if there were any issues with the food he consumed, he could handle it.
Under Xue Qinghe's serious gaze, Qian Daoliu finally swallowed the golden elixir of soul power.
Just when Qian Daoliu was prepared to deal with potential crises at any moment, a growing soul power surged from his abdomen like a volcanic eruption. Even with his level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo, the power was a bit overwhelming.
He hadn't felt such a sensation of swelling caused by soul power filling all the meridians of his body for who knows how many years.
His soul power hadn't increased one bit in many years, but at that moment, he felt it growing rapidly.
The comfortable sensation throughout his body made him feel like he could soar to the sky.
The potent soul power continued to spread throughout his body and then permeated through every pore.
Xue Qinghe's complexion changed slightly. If soul power of this level spread, it wouldn't be long before someone came to check.
The reason for giving him the golden elixir of soul power was to allow Qian Daoliu to find a secluded place and take it, but she never expected that Qian Daoliu wouldn't believe her.
Before Xue Qinghe could come up with a better plan, soul rings appeared around Qian Daoliu one after another.
Black, Black, Black, Black, black, black, black, black, and red.
The number of soul rings for Qian Daoliu was astounding. Surprisingly, his last soul ring was a hundred-thousand-year soul ring. It's no wonder he was so powerful.
Footsteps were heard, and soon a curious voice came from outside the door.
"May I ask His Highness the Crown Prince if something has happened?"
"I'm training. Please leave me alone. It's crucial that you keep this a secret and don't tell anyone."
"I understand."
Soon, those outside quietly withdrew.
Xue Qinghe let out a sigh of relief and finally focused on the matter at hand.
"I've finally reached level 100, and I can obtain my tenth soul ring," Qian Daoliu said with evident surprise.
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's face filled with joy.
"Grandfather, aren't you now the most powerful in the world? With your strength, the moment to unify our Spirit Hall is not far off," exclaimed Xue Qinghe in amazement.
Qian Daoliu realized the immensity of his strength. At that moment, Tang Chen and Bo Saixi definitely wouldn't be competition for him.
