Chapter 96: Breaking Through to Soul Emperor, Qian Daoliu Condenses His First Soul Core!
However, Yun Yuan was already quite satisfied with this. He would hardly sell high-grade pills in large quantities.
In the Soul Master world, most soul masters were low-level. Those who reached the Soul Elder level were extremely rare.
Compared to the number of Soul Masters, Yun Yuan cared more about the common people of the Douluo Continent. The number of Soul Masters was far smaller than that of ordinary citizens.
The goal of establishing the Pill Hall was to devote a small portion of effort to the Soul Master world, while the majority would be directed toward the masses of the Douluo Continent.
During these two months, Yun Yuan's soul power level had also increased, reaching rank sixty, and he could now obtain his sixth soul ring.
Arriving at Douluo Hall, Yun Yuan walked straight toward the depths of the hall and came before the seven worship elders.
"Greetings, Grandmaster. Greetings, Martial Grand-Uncles."
After greeting the seven worship elders, Yun Yuan turned his gaze toward the center, at Qian Daoliu.
"Grandmaster, your disciple has broken through to rank 60. I would trouble you to accompany me to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Although Yun Yuan was already strong enough to obtain a soul ring on his own, the absorption process required someone to stand guard.
So he brought Qian Daoliu along. After all, obtaining a soul ring would only take a few days to a dozen days at most. With Qian Daoliu by his side, he felt completely secure and didn't need to worry about any accidents.
"So fast, Xiao Yuan. In just over a year, you've broken through another major realm, and it's the Soul Emperor realm at that. Truly monstrous, truly monstrous."
After learning Yun Yuan's soul power level, Golden Crocodile Douluo was the first to speak in amazement. Yun Yuan wasn't even ten years old yet, and he had already reached the Soul Emperor realm. Truly worthy of being someone blessed by the gods.
Even the greatest geniuses would only be Soul Grandmasters at the age of ten. One could imagine just how extraordinary and terrifying Yun Yuan was.
The other worship elders followed, all praising Yun Yuan's immense talent.
Finally, after praising Yun Yuan, Qian Daoliu expressed his gratitude.
"Xiao Yuan, I have already condensed the first soul core you mentioned. My strength has improved somewhat. That immortal-grade pill you gave me back then helped me greatly. Thank you again."
Hearing that Qian Daoliu had condensed his first soul core, Yun Yuan was also very pleased. This meant the gap between Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen would gradually widen.
However, condensing a single soul core did not create a significant gap for a Limit Douluo. If Qian Daoliu could condense dual complementary yin-yang soul cores like Di Tian, then his normal combat power would definitely reach the quasi-god level. In his divine power state, he might even be able to contend with Di Tian at full strength.
At full strength, Di Tian, who used the Dragon God Claw, was absolutely the strongest being on the Douluo Continent.
As for the million-year soul beast in the sea, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, it would likely have to retreat when facing Di Tian using the Dragon God Claw.
The Dragon God Claw had immense suppression over soul beasts. With this move, Di Tian could completely suppress all soul beasts on the Douluo Continent.
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, Golden Crocodile Douluo added from the side:
"Xiao Yuan, not only that, but we worships have also begun condensing our first soul cores."
"With the Grand Worship's successful example ahead of us, and with his personal guidance, we should also be able to condense our first soul cores soon. At that time, the foundation of Spirit Hall will rise to another level."
"We must thank you as well."
Hearing this, Yun Yuan smiled faintly. Naturally, he was happy that Spirit Hall was growing stronger.
"Martial Grand-Uncles, I hope you can condense your first soul cores soon. That way, when facing Soul Masters of the same level, you will definitely have overwhelming superiority."
After chatting for a while longer, Qian Daoliu took Yun Yuan and transformed into a streak of golden light, leaving Spirit City.
After more than a year, Yun Yuan once again headed to the familiar Star Dou Great Forest.
Star Dou Great Forest, subterranean mineral vein region.
Yun Yuan and Qian Daoliu appeared here.
"Xiao Yuan, take a look. Is there any soul beast here that you want?"
After arriving, Qian Daoliu glanced at the dark mineral vein region below and asked Yun Yuan.
This was already the third subterranean mineral vein region they had visited. They had searched the previous two for several hours but found none of the soul beasts they needed.
"Let me see. The force field here feels unusual. There might be the Fixed Profound Star Turtle that I'm looking for."
The Fixed Profound Star Turtle was the soul beast Yun Yuan was searching for this time. Its quality reached the super soul beast level, and it possessed an innate domain.
He had discovered this soul beast over the past half year in the Spirit Hall's Compendium of Exotic Beasts, which had been compiled several hundred years ago by a Titled Douluo.
According to that Titled Douluo, he had once encountered a terrifying soul beast in a subterranean mineral vein region. Its cultivation had not reached one hundred thousand years, yet it forced him, a Titled Douluo, to retreat. Its combat power was extremely formidable.
That soul beast resembled a giant turtle, with mysterious golden star patterns on its back. Its claws were like spear blades. When it moved, the earth rose and sank, and it carried the power of gravity and levitation, able to make surrounding objects become heavy or light.
In the end, he named it the Fixed Profound Star Turtle and recorded it in the Compendium of Exotic Beasts.
After descending into this mineral vein, Yun Yuan began searching for the Fixed Profound Star Turtle. Half an hour later, he actually found the one he was looking for.
According to that Titled Douluo, although the Fixed Profound Star Turtle had not reached a one-hundred-thousand-year level, it could force a Titled Douluo to retreat.
Even with the bloodline of a super soul beast, its cultivation must have reached nearly the one hundred thousand-year level.
"Xiao Yuan, is it this one? Do you want me to capture it for you, or will you handle it yourself?"
Yun Yuan discovered it, and naturally, Qian Daoliu also noticed it. However, when he saw the eager battle intent in Yun Yuan's eyes, he felt that his grand disciple probably wanted to fight this soul beast himself.
"Grandmaster, let me handle this soul beast. It's a good opportunity to stretch my muscles and have a proper battle."
Since beginning cultivation, he had yet to encounter an opponent that forced him to go all out in a frenzied battle.
Tang Hao at the beginning didn't count. The Clear Sky battle formation didn't count. Even Yang Wudi, whom he fought recently, didn't count.
But this Fixed Profound Star Turtle was different. It could force a Titled Douluo to retreat without reaching one hundred thousand years, meaning its combat power hadn't reached the Super Douluo level.
In other words, this soul beast's strength was extremely close to that of a Super Douluo, making it the perfect opponent to pressure Yun Yuan.
In the next moment, the external soul bone, Wind Thunder Wings, spread out behind Yun Yuan as he flew into the air. With a grasp of his right hand, a white, incandescent divine spear radiating a sharp aura appeared in his hand.
But that was not all. Five soul rings—yellow, purple, black, black, and black—circled around him as terrifying soul power fluctuations erupted from his body.
Not far away, the Fixed Profound Star Turtle sensed a human Soul Master intruding into its territory. Its light-heavy domain spread out as it roared, attempting to drive Yun Yuan away.
In response, Yun Yuan said nothing, only continuing to swing the Atlas Spear in his hand…
