148: Chapter 148 God-level Soul Bone

A few days later, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The Soul Power fluctuations around Ji Xuan abruptly subsided; by this moment, those two Divine-Grade Spirit Bones had been fully absorbed.

During the absorption process, he had already fused the skills of both Spirit Bones into one.

The skill of the Ice Dragon King's Left Arm Bone, "Eternal Silence," could emit a cold air of Ultimate Ice, freezing everything.

The skill of the Fire Dragon King Spirit Bone, "Ash Annihilation," could summon a fire dragon that would rush toward the target, carrying the terrifying lethality of Ultimate Fire, and then detonate.

At this moment, Ji Xuan's Soul Power had already broken through to the level 90 Bottleneck.

Although the energy of these two Spirit Bones had been depleted significantly over the long passage of time, they were still Divine-Grade Spirit Bones after all, and the energy they contained remained extremely vast. After absorbing his ninth spirit ring, Ji Xuan would be able to break through to at least level 95.

With the trace of Order Divine Power that Ji Xuan currently possessed, condensing his ninth spirit ring himself would not be difficult, but he did not choose to do so.

First, to avoid being detected by the Sea God, as his current strength was not yet enough to contend with a Divinity, and he still needed to continue reaping benefits.

Second, the million-year spirit ring of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King could not be wasted like that; it was just right to serve as his ninth spirit ring.

"Congratulations, Your Highness! Congratulations, Your Highness!"

Seeing Ji Xuan come out of seclusion, Yang Wudi immediately put down his work and stepped forward to offer his congratulations.

During this time, he had remained at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well without leaving, primarily to act as a Protector for Ji Xuan.

Even though this place was very safe, he dared not slack off in the slightest, to prevent any accidents from occurring.

"Mn." Ji Xuan nodded slightly. "Clan Chief Yang, I am leaving now."

"Farewell, Your Highness."

Ji Xuan's figure transformed into a stream of light as he headed in the direction of Heaven Dou City.

Yang Wudi looked up at the direction in which Ji Xuan had departed, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Some time ago, when Ji Xuan finished absorbing the first Spirit Bone, the Soul Power fluctuations he emitted had already far exceeded his own.

He truly had not expected that at such an age, Ji Xuan would have already reached such strength; he was truly a Prodigy rarely seen in a thousand years.

He was also extremely glad about his choice back then; only then could the Breaking Clan have today.

He naturally knew that the Strength Clan had later acknowledged Tang San, the son of Tang Hao, as their master.

However, they seemed not to have received any substantial benefits from Tang San, and even now, they were no different from before.

...

Heaven Dou City.

Ji Xuan silently infiltrated the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Qian Renxue should still be dealing with government affairs at this time, so he simply infiltrated the Emperor's bedchamber directly to wait for her.

Night fell.

Qian Renxue was still maintaining the appearance of Xue Qinghe when she returned to the bedchamber.

"A-Xuan?" Seeing the white-clad figure in the room clearly, the surprise in Qian Renxue's voice could not be concealed.

Ji Xuan turned around and called out softly, "Xue'er."

Qian Renxue instantly threw herself into his arms. "When did you come back?"

"Not long ago."

"However, Xue'er." Ji Xuan's tone was somewhat helpless. "Could you please change back first? Holding a man like this feels rather awkward."

Qian Renxue only then realized that she still looked like Xue Qinghe. Having seen him again after more than three years, she had been so filled with the joy of reunion that she had forgotten about this.

She stepped back two paces, raised her hand to wipe across her face, and with a flash of golden light, she recovered her original appearance.

Ji Xuan rubbed his chin, looked her up and down, and nodded slowly. "I have to say, Your Majesty the Empress looks quite good wearing this dragon robe."

After Qian Renxue recovered her original appearance, the solemnity of the dragon robe blended with her own grace, possessing a unique charm.

Being teased by Ji Xuan like this, the tips of Qian Renxue's ears turned slightly red, and she gave a soft huff. "I'll go change my clothes first."

"Change into what? Just wear this." Ji Xuan stepped forward and scooped her up.

Qian Renxue wrapped her arms around Ji Xuan's neck without saying anything more.

...

One hour later.

At this moment, Her Majesty the Empress had lost all trace of imperial dignity; her hair was slightly disheveled as she leaned in Ji Xuan's arms, her cheeks flushed with lingering redness.

"A-Xuan, how long are you planning to stay this time?" Qian Renxue asked in a lazy voice.

Ji Xuan thought for a moment and replied, "I need to head out to sea again in a few days to hunt for my ninth spirit ring."

"What?" Qian Renxue looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with disbelief. "A-Xuan, you... you've broken through to level 90?"

Ji Xuan had restrained the aura around his body, so with Qian Renxue's current strength, she naturally could not perceive it, and she had forgotten to ask about Ji Xuan's current cultivation level earlier.

"Mn." Ji Xuan nodded gently. "I just broke through today."

"How could you break through so quickly?" Qian Renxue frowned slightly, her heart churning with stormy waves.

Three years ago, Ji Xuan was only a Spirit King in his fifties; now, he was actually about to ascend to Titled Douluo?

"Sea God Island has the Sea God Legacy; I obtained the Divine Trials, and I am now on the Eighth Trial. That is why I could improve so quickly."

"Divine Trials?" Qian Renxue exclaimed, and she froze instantly.

She did not know that Ji Xuan had obtained the Sea God Legacy, nor could she perceive the Divine Power fluctuations within his body.

But as the Young Lord of Spirit Hall, she knew better than anyone that Divinities truly existed.

If Ji Xuan really became a god... then what about her?

No, she must return immediately to accept the Angel God's trials!

Qian Renxue made up her mind in her heart; she must obtain the Angel Nine Trials. Only in this way could she keep up with Ji Xuan's pace and continue to stay by his side.

Previously, her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, had urged her many times to return to Spirit Hall to accept the Divine Trials, but for these few years, she had been operating step by step in the Heaven Dou Empire. Especially after ascending the throne, with numerous government affairs, she had always used the pretext of being busy with state affairs to put it off.

She had originally intended to go back after a while, but now, she could no longer wait. She was currently only a level 89 Spirit Douluo, while Ji Xuan had already taken a step ahead of her to break through to Titled Douluo and had even obtained the Divine Trials.

Ji Xuan took in all the changes in her expression and naturally understood what she was thinking.

He raised his hand and gently grasped her hand that was placed on his chest. "Xue'er, don't worry. With your talent, passing the Angel Nine Trials is by no means difficult."

Qian Renxue took a deep breath, her eyes becoming incomparably firm. "Then I will return to Spirit Hall in a few days to prepare for the Divine Trials with all my might."

"How do you plan to arrange things here in the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Qian Renxue lay back down and said slowly, "I have already controlled the imperial court these past two years. After I leave, I will let a body double handle state affairs for me, and with Ning Fengzhi assisting from within, there won't be any slip-ups."

Hearing this, Ji Xuan nodded gently. "That is good."

"By the way, A-Xuan. Tang San, whom you previously instructed me to keep an eye on, returned to Shrek Academy not long ago and then went to the Moon Pavilion."

Qian Renxue suddenly remembered that before Ji Xuan left, he had specifically instructed her to pay attention to Tang San's movements.

"The Moon Pavilion?" Ji Xuan's eyes narrowed slowly.

Does this mean that Tang San has already been to Slaughter City?

Going to the Moon Pavilion is to suppress the Killing Intent within his body?

Ji Xuan nodded and said, "I understand. Xue'er, let's rest."

The two did not say anything more and fell into a deep sleep.
