Chapter 19 of the First Person
Bang! "What are you laughing at? The fire's too big, the meat's going to burn." Na'er slammed down her silver dragon spear, shattering the Holy Flame Dragon's grand dream.
The Holy Flame Dragon regained its composure, its gaze resolute. It focused solely on breathing fire for its great master.
Lying on the golden sofa, Qian Gu Chenran watched this scene with amusement. No wonder the proud Holy Flame Dragon had turned into a Holy Flame Dog. For the dragon race, merging with Na'er was no different than going ashore.
Yawning, Qian Gu Chenran patted the golden retriever sofa beneath him. "Tibetan Mastiff, I'm going to take a nap. Keep an eye on things outside for me." The golden retriever sofa shook slightly to indicate that it understood.
The golden-haired lion mastiff changed its position to make it easier for Qian Gu Chen Ran to sleep comfortably.
Na'er glanced at Qian Gu Chenran, who was fast asleep, and then at the charcoal block in her hand. She tossed the charcoal block to the Holy Flame Dragon and ran off to find Qian Gu Chenran to take a nap together.
The golden-haired lion mastiff, with its fluffy fur, was more suitable as a bed than his own Holy Flame Dragon, which was covered in hard scales.
The two little ones drifted off to sleep so carefree. The golden-haired lion mastiff looked around and then closed its eyes to rest as well.
After all, a low-level Spirit Ascension Platform spirit beast is only a matter of time and breed before a thousand-year-old golden lion mastiff can easily defeat it with a single claw.
After a period of rigorous training by Mu Ye, Qian Gu Chen Ran finally entered the initial stage of the flawless golden body.
Upon entering the Spirit Ascension Platform again, Qian Gu Chen Ran suddenly had the idea to become a Pokémon Trainer.
Every time they encounter a soul beast, they first use the Light Shadow Difficulty to initiate a hard control attack, followed by the Golden Lion Hound to finish it off.
The golden-haired lion mastiff is simply too overpowered. Its stats are off the charts, its mechanics are insane. Once its Dominator Domain is activated, anyone it attacks is doomed.
And so, the entire Primary Spirit Ascension Platform became Qian Gu Chen Ran and Na'er's backyard.
Opening his eyes, Qian Gu Chenran got up and stretched.
At this moment, the sun slowly descended over the Starry Sky Forest, and darkness gradually began to envelop the entire land. The roars of beasts rose and fell, for the Starry Sky Forest at night was several times more dangerous than during the day.
"Boss, you're awake! Come and try my roast meat." Na'er waved her hand, and a sizzling animal leg was tied to a makeshift grill next to her.
Qian Gu Chenran sat down near the fire, watched the starlight gradually emerge, and nodded.
Time was almost up! Qian Gu Chen Ran took the roasted meat that Na'er handed him and tasted it.
"Mmm! That's great, Na'er. I didn't expect you to cook so well."
Upon hearing Qian Gu Chen Ran's praise, Na'er put her hands on her hips, looking smug. "Of course, I made this according to the recipe that Uncle Ye gave me."
The two children chatted and laughed as they finished eating the whole animal leg, then headed upstream along the river.
"Boss, why have we been staying at the Spirit Ascension Platform for so long this time?"
Looking at the stars filling the night sky, Qian Gu Chen Ran summoned the Panlong Staff with his left hand, saying, "To test the true power of the Panlong Staff."
Na'er tilted her head, looking helplessly at Qian Guchenran's retreating figure. What could she do? He was her boss; she could only indulge his antics.
Seeing the pack of Gale Wolves charging towards him, Qian Gu Chen Ran raised his left hand and clenched it slightly. Silver energy enveloped the approaching wolves, unleashing his second soul skill, Timeless Struggle.
Seeing this, Na'er summoned her Silver Dragon Spear, her yellow and purple spirit rings lighting up as she unleashed her first spirit skill, Silver Dragon Flame. The silver flames accurately struck all the Gale Wolves.
All the Gale Wolves were reduced to ashes by the silver flames. After the Gale Wolves died, clusters of light surged into Na'er and Qian Gu Chen Ran's bodies.
After showing off her spear skills, Na'er looked at Qian Gu Chenran triumphantly and said, "How about it, boss? Isn't my soul skill amazing?"
Qian Gu Chenran nodded and echoed, "Impressive, extremely impressive, as expected of Na'er."
With the amplification of Na'er's own bloodline, the Holy Flame Dragon's bloodline, which originated from the Fire Dragon King, underwent a significant sublimation and mutation.
The Silver Dragon Flame soul skill is a passive soul skill that emerged under these circumstances. Not only does it deal extremely high damage, but it can also amplify Na'er's other attack-type soul skills.
As the two children ventured deeper, a strong figure reflecting black light in the moonlight looked toward them.
It was a tiger-like spirit beast, three meters long, with a body as black as ink, four large paws, and a white "king" character printed on its forehead. The Giant-Pawed Black Tiger was a high-level spirit beast extremely skilled in melee combat.
Qian Guchenran held the coiled dragon staff, and the North Star in the night sky shone brightly at that moment.
Qian Gu Chenran felt the influence of his martial spirit, and a smile crept onto his lips. He sensed it; the stars in the sky were protecting him—no, they were yearning. Yearning for him to use them.
At this moment, the Panlong Staff emitted a dragon's roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth, and its whole body shone with golden light. The North Star above it also emitted a more dazzling purple light than before.
The two reflect each other, and a halo imprinted with purple-gold stars rises beneath the feet of Qian Gu Chen Ran.
Martial Soul Innate Domain Ziwei Heng
As the Purple Star Heng expanded, the Giant Black Tiger felt its soul power becoming increasingly difficult to circulate. It turned to flee, but no matter how many steps it took, it seemed to be standing still.
Within Ziwei Heng's range, all movement-type and amplification-type soul skills are ineffective. His own attack soul skills are also significantly reduced, while Qian Gu Chen Ran's various soul skills are greatly enhanced.
It can also mutually amplify the effects of the Golden Lion Mastiff's Dominant Territory.
With a light tap of his finger on the giant black tiger, a golden beam pierced through its skull amidst the tiger's despairing gaze.
External Soul Bone Dark Gold Terror Claw
Looking at the giant black tiger that had died tragically under the Ziwei Heng, Na'er clicked her tongue and said, "Boss, your soul skills and this domain are all so dirty."
"Goodness, how can this be called dirty? This is all the result of my sweat and hard work."
Chapter 39 The Fated Purple Star and the Wronged Son Zhenhua
Ascension Platform
In a small space filled with purple light, there was nothing but a purple sun suspended in the very center of the world.
The purple sun was hundreds of feet tall, and its body, burning with purple flames, was dotted with golden starlight, making it look sacred.
It is one of the treasures of the Spirit Pagoda, the 680,000-year-old extradimensional soul beast Ziwei Xingyang.
As the second most powerful spirit among the many spirits in the Spirit Pagoda, they naturally attached great importance to this matter. They specifically assigned people to monitor its movements around the clock.
Not long after Qian Gu Chen Ran left the Spirit Transmission Tower, Zi Wei Xing Yang, who had been in a deep sleep for many years, suddenly awoke.
Purple Star!!!
Endless purple flames spread from its enormous body throughout the entire space. Boom! Boom! Boom! Cracks appeared in space as the purple flames burned them open.
Ziwei Xingyang's enormous body transformed into a purple-gold sphere of light, crashing through space and flying towards the direction it sensed.
drop!drop!drop!
The staff outside, watching the space easily destroyed by Ziwei Xingyang, trembled as they called Qian Gu Dongfeng, "Tower Master, something terrible has happened! Ziwei Xingyang has escaped!"
"What? Search! Send everyone to search. I'll be there right away." Upon hearing this news, Qian Gu Dong Feng also hurriedly dispatched all personnel to search the various Spirit Ascension Platforms.
All the souls in the Spirit Transmission Tower are actually within the Spirit Ascension Platform, but the Spirit Ascension Platform is divided into different spaces: the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform corresponding to the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Intermediate Spirit Ascension Platform corresponding to the Mixed Zone, the Advanced Spirit Ascension Platform corresponding to the Core Zone, and the Ultimate Spirit Ascension Platform corresponding to the Greatly Dangerous Land.
However, apart from the Crimson King and a few hundred-thousand-year souls of his clan, there are no other hundred-thousand-year souls on the Ultimate Ascension Platform.
After all, each 100,000-year-old soul is a precious asset of the Spirit Pagoda, and to prevent them from killing each other, the Spirit Pagoda preserves 100,000-year-old souls separately.
Just as Qian Gu Dongfeng was at his wits' end, Qian Gu Dieting brought a phone call: "Dongfeng, no need to look anymore. It's here at the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform."
Whew! Hearing his father's words, Qian Gu Dongfeng finally felt relieved. He was relieved that Ziwei Xingyang hadn't been lost; he had been afraid that Ziwei Xingyang would try to break out of the Ascension Platform and attract the troublemakers from Shrek Academy.
Thinking of this, Qian Gu Dongfeng's lips curled into a smile. He turned his chair and looked towards Shrek Academy through the floor-to-ceiling window. Although he didn't know which force was stirring up the conflict between Shrek Academy and the Federation, he was certain that the Spirit Pagoda and the Qian Gu Clan would lend a hand.
But what's going on with Ziwei Xingyang? Qian Gu Dongfeng fell into deep thought. In the thousands of years it had been with Tianbao Yinchan at the Spirit Transmission Tower, nothing like what was happening today had ever occurred.
And what about his own father, who wasn't accompanying Chenran today? Chenran! Thinking of this, Qian Gu Dongfeng sighed.
Every Soul Master who can become a Limit Douluo can be said to possess extraordinary luck, but in front of his nephew, they are all no match! Qian Gu Dongfeng began to doubt his life.
Looking down at the wailing soul beasts below with a puzzled expression, Ziwei Xingyang released flames that enveloped the entire primary spirit ascension platform.
Gone! The Purple Star is gone!
The purple sun flickered incessantly, eventually returning to its original space to wait quietly. The external force would send the Purple Star to it.
It's almost here! Its lucky star is finally coming.
In another space, bright moonlight spilled onto the lake below, its vast expanse reflecting the luminous moon's image. The entire space was filled with an indescribable sense of sanctity.
Croak! A silver toad the size of a palm leaped out of the lake. It hovered in mid-air, the moonlight shining on its silver body, making it shine like a bright pearl.
It looked at its neighbor with a puzzled expression, wondering why the other was so excited today. Curious, it followed the trail the other had taken, and a surge of joy welled up inside the Heavenly Treasure Silver Toad.
The Purple Star is coming! Its master is finally coming!
Qian Gu Die Ting watched this scene with delight. As soon as Qian Gu Chen Ran left, Zi Wei Xing Yang shattered the space and arrived at the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.
What is this if not destiny? Their ancient clan is the one destined by heaven!
Qian Gu Chenran was unaware that the Spirit Transmission Tower had shaken the entire tower because of him. As soon as she got home, Na'er pulled Qian Gu Chenran to sit at the dining table. Looking at the dazzling array of delicious food on the table, Na'er's eyes lit up.
"Chenran's back! Come and eat!" Xia Zheng greeted the two little ones as soon as they returned.
Makino came out carrying the last of the strong vegetable tonic soup. "My good disciple is back. Come and try the soup that your master specially prepared for you!"
Seeing the soup filled with specially made beef balls, Qian Gu Chen Ran hurriedly started eating. Stir-fried seasonal vegetables, steamed red snapper, typhoon shelter-style red grouper, stir-fried iron-haired beef…
After dinner, while enjoying the specially made lotus seed soup, Mu Ye patted Qian Gu Chen Ran on the shoulder as he looked at the sky shrouded in night. "Chen Ran, tomorrow your master will take you to Tian Dou City to see your master's good friend Zhen Hua."
Qian Gu Chenran nodded. It was his master, Mu Ye, whom he could see whenever he wanted. Returning to Zhenhua's house was no different from returning to his own home.
Na'er, who had her whole head buried in the basin, lost her appetite when she heard that Qian Gu Chenran was going to Tian Dou City.
She pounced on him and hugged Qian Gu Chen Ran's hand, "Boss, boss, I want to go too. Let's go together, okay?"
Seeing Na'er's pitiful appearance, he looked at Mu Ye. Mu Ye smiled and nodded. That girl Na'er also possessed dragon blood, with abundant energy and vitality; she was a good prospect for learning forging. Zhen Hua wouldn't refuse.
Seeing Mu Ye nod, Qian Gu Chen Ran turned and went upstairs. "Go to sleep! We have to get up early tomorrow!"
Upon hearing this, Na'er cheered, "Long live the boss! Boss, wait for me!"
Watching the two little ones playfully fighting as they walked away, the three adults smiled knowingly. Qian Gu Qingfeng looked at Mu Ye and said, "Brother Mu, you'll have to work hard this time."
Mu Ye quickly waved his hand, "It's nothing! I've never married in my life! I've always considered Chen Ran my son!"
Xia Zheng quickly stopped Mu Ye from speaking, "Sect Master Mu, Qingfeng and I will be returning to the Xuanming Sect soon. We'll be relying on you to take care of Chen Ran while he's in Tiandou City!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Qian Gu Qingfeng and Xia Zheng exchanged a cold glance. After spending this time with Mu Ye, they felt quite at ease with this Sect Master of the Body Sect.
Mu Ye glanced at the sky, then took his leave and returned to his residence. He had been staying with Han Tianyi for some time, although he was always scolded by her whenever he returned. But Mu Ye knew that his uncle was disappointed in him, and he listened humbly.
Tiandou City
Zhenhua rubbed his temples as he watched Aruheng eating and drinking heartily.
"Ah Heng! When is your master coming back?!" Ah Heng, who was enjoying his meal, stared at Zhen Hua with his two pure, big eyes and shook his head. "I don't know either, Uncle Hua!"
Zhenhua waved his hand, signaling Aruheng to continue eating. Glancing out the window, Zhenhua mentally began his daily ritual of cursing Muye's ancestors for eighteen generations.
