Chapter 383: Subsequent Arrangements
Emperor Xue Ye first thanked Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo, then praised Yu Tianlin for his youth and promise. However, he intentionally or unintentionally ignored Qian Renxue.
It seemed that after Emperor Xue Ye regained consciousness, Yang Wudi had briefly explained the situation to him. Emperor Xue Ye clearly intended to pretend ignorance regarding the matter of Xue Qinghe and Qian Renxue.
Indeed, Qian Renxue was Qian Daoliu's granddaughter. If Emperor Xue Ye exposed the fact that Qian Renxue had impersonated Xue Qinghe now, then for the sake of maintaining the Empire's dignity, he would be forced to hold Qian Renxue accountable. That would inevitably provoke Qian Daoliu.
Rather than do that, Emperor Xue Ye naturally chose to feign ignorance. He pretended not to know anything and handed the hot potato that was Qian Renxue over to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to deal with.
After the pleasantries ended, Yu Tianlin and the others prepared to leave.
After all, such a major problem had occurred. Although it had been successfully resolved, there were still many follow-up matters Emperor Xue Ye needed to handle, such as the Three Committee Members, the position of Crown Prince, and so on. Therefore, Yu Tianlin and the others would not stay and disturb Emperor Xue Ye.
After parting ways with Dugu Bo and Yang Wudi halfway, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianlin, grandfather and grandson, brought Qian Renxue back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
After temporarily entrusting Qian Renxue to Yu Luomian's care, Yu Yuanzhen took Yu Tianlin into a secret chamber and asked, "Earlier in the imperial palace, I heard you say that you seemed to want to exchange that little girl with Qian Daoliu for Spirit Hall's Legacy Spirit Bone?"
"That's right," Yu Tianlin nodded.
"Given that little girl's identity, exchanging her for a Legacy Spirit Bone shouldn't be a problem," Yu Yuanzhen said.
Putting himself in Qian Daoliu's shoes, if Yu Tianlin were captured by Spirit Hall and they demanded a Legacy Spirit Bone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in exchange, Yu Yuanzhen would agree.
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen's matter-of-fact expression, Yu Tianlin could not help feeling a little puzzled.
Grandfather doesn't seem to know what Spirit Hall's Legacy Spirit Bones truly mean.
That made sense. He remembered that Ning Fengzhi, also a master of one of the Upper Three Sects, did not know about these matters either. Spirit Hall had kept information regarding its Legacy Spirit Bones extremely well hidden, and only Yu Xiaogang had learned a little about it from Bibi Dong in the past.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianlin explained Spirit Hall's Legacy Spirit Bones to his grandfather in detail, emphasizing the Angel God Armor.
"Angel God Armor?" Yu Yuanzhen raised an eyebrow. "Is it related to a Deity?"
Yu Tianlin explained, "As long as someone absorbs all six Spirit Bones inherited by Spirit Hall, they can become the Angel God. Or rather, to become the Angel God, one must absorb those six Spirit Bones."
"A Deity." Hearing Yu Tianlin's explanation, Yu Yuanzhen's expression immediately turned solemn. "So you want Spirit Hall's Legacy Spirit Bone because you don't want anyone in Spirit Hall to become the Angel God?"
"Exactly," Yu Tianlin nodded. "Grandfather, you may not know this, but I understood it after obtaining the Legacy of the Thunder God."
"Deities on the Douluo Continent are not born individually. Every time, at least two people achieve godhood, thereby balancing each other."
"In other words, if I can become the Thunder God, that means other Spirit Masters will also become Deities."
This was the first time Yu Yuanzhen had heard such a statement, and he could not help asking, "Do you think someone in Spirit Hall's current generation can become the Angel God?"
"In fact, Qian Renxue has the potential to become the Angel God," Yu Tianlin said. "And Qian Renxue is different from me. The God Position of the Thunder God that I am supposed to inherit is broken, so I have to find a solution myself. Qian Renxue doesn't have that problem. She only needs to complete the Angel God's nine trials, and she can successfully inherit the God Position."
"Qian Daoliu is the main executor of the Angel God's trials. As long as he goes easy on Qian Renxue, her speed of becoming a god will be very fast, probably even faster than mine."
When mentioning Qian Renxue's speed of becoming a god, Yu Tianlin felt rather speechless.
She was clearly only a Spirit Saint now, yet she could become the Angel God in five years. How exactly was that accomplished?
Logically speaking, Qian Renxue did not even have a second Martial Soul, so she could not improve her spirit power by attaching spirit rings to a second Martial Soul. She could only rely on her own cultivation. So how did she advance through those few levels after rank ninety-five?
He could not figure it out. He truly could not.
"This little girl can become a Deity?" Yu Yuanzhen subconsciously looked in Qian Renxue's direction. Even with the walls of the secret chamber blocking his view, he seemed able to see the calm Qian Renxue in the distance. A trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. "Since that is the case, why not simply kill her and prevent future trouble?"
"If Qian Renxue is killed, Qian Daoliu will definitely not let the matter rest," Yu Tianlin shook his head and said. "If Spirit Hall comes to take revenge on us at all costs, then the Clan will be in danger."
Qian Renxue was not only Qian Daoliu's granddaughter, but also Bibi Dong's daughter. Although Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's relationship seemed strained, if Qian Renxue were truly killed, Bibi Dong would probably go mad.
At that time, if Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu joined forces and mobilized the full power of Spirit Hall, even the combined forces of the two great clans and the Heaven Dou Empire might not be able to stop them. Moreover, if the situation became unfavorable, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Heaven Dou Empire might even abandon the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
"So Qian Renxue cannot be killed," Yu Tianlin said. "But that doesn't matter. As long as we can obtain one of Spirit Hall's Legacy Spirit Bones, we can block Qian Renxue's Angel God Legacy and solve the problem."
"Alright," Yu Yuanzhen finally agreed with Yu Tianlin. "You know more about Deities, so we will do as you say."
"From now on, I will personally keep an eye on that little girl. Unless Qian Daoliu exchanges her for a Legacy Spirit Bone, she will not be released."
"If Qian Daoliu refuses indefinitely, then we will keep that little girl sealed and prevent her from cultivating."
There was one more thing he did not say.
If Qian Daoliu tried to rely on his strength to forcibly take Qian Renxue back, and if there was a possibility that Qian Renxue might be rescued, then he would kill Qian Renxue directly.
In that case, there would be no problem.
After discussing the plan regarding Qian Renxue, Yu Tianlin prepared to return to his cultivation room.
During his battle with Qian Renxue, Yu Tianlin's Martial Soul had suddenly evolved into the Thunder Saint Dragon. He had not yet had the chance to carefully experience it, so he naturally had to return and thoroughly feel the changes after his Martial Soul evolution.
"You also need to be careful during this period. Qian Daoliu might capture you to exchange for that little girl." Seeing Yu Tianlin about to leave, Yu Yuanzhen finally said, "Stay within the Clan's territory and don't run around. That way, even if Qian Daoliu tries to make a move against you, I can react in time."
"Don't worry, Grandfather. I know."
After saying this, Yu Tianlin pushed open the door of the quiet room and left.
