Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 314: Preparations Before Condensing the Soul Core

"That girl?" Du Busi stroked his chin. "The sacrifice has already been completed. Bi Ji mentioned she has a high affinity for life attributes, so she's been left to cultivate at Emerald Lake."

Emerald Lake is naturally the habitat of Bi Ji's group, located not far from the Lake of Life. The lake water is a diluted version of the Lake of Life's water. With the Emerald Swans residing there, the concentration of life energy in Emerald Lake is quite high.

"I see. Then let's not worry about her for now; let her cultivate at her own pace," Du Qianjue nodded.

With his rate of growth, to be honest, Tang Ya couldn't keep up at all. However, he didn't expect Tang Ya to help him deal with Tang San. What Du Qianjue wanted was just for Tang Ya to slap Tang San with the Blue Silver Grass.

Whether she is a Soul King, Soul Saint, Titled Douluo, or even a God doesn't make a difference. After all, she couldn't possibly defeat Tang San. It would still have to be Du Qianjue who takes action.

"Have there been any news from the three great empires recently?" Du Qianjue asked again.

"Tianhun and Douleng are pretty much the same as before, but Xu Jiwei did send a letter to Xian'er, hoping she could return to help the Star Luo Empire," Du Busi replied.

"What does Uncle Ancestor Grandma think?"

"As for me, I'm no longer interested in dealing with those matters and have naturally refused," Wang Xian'er said as she came out of the house carrying three cups of tea, sitting down next to Du Busi with a smile.

Although she is a worshipper of the Star Luo Empire, honestly, a worshipper has a lot of freedom. She doesn't owe the Star Luo Empire anything. Instead, the Star Luo Empire owes her a great deal. During the years she served as a worshipper, the Star Luo Empire frequently troubled her to take action.

Having the opportunity to live again, Wang Xian'er certainly does not plan to return to the Star Luo Empire. Even Xu Jiwei couldn't say anything about it.

They even dare not use the greater good of the nation to coerce Wang Xian'er, given that she is now residing in the Main Sect. Xu Jiwei would be risking too much to play such games.

"But this is also good, as Qianjue said, this war was foreseeable, and the three great empires have no chance of winning," Du Busi sighed, his tone complex.

"If it wasn't for the Main Sect having Qianjue, I'm afraid the Main Sect would also gradually decline due to my poor decisions. If the Shrek Academy were still around, the three great empires might still have some possibility of repelling the Sun-Moon Empire."

"But now that Shrek has become history, the demise of the three great empires has also become inevitable."

Du Qianjue looked at Du Busi somewhat surprised.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; Du Busi is smart, and by the latter part of the original story, it was clear he had a broad vision. His eventual death was merely due to his unwillingness to accept defeat.

Du Busi in the original story didn't die because he couldn't live, but because his dignity as a strong man didn't allow him to live in compromise.

After chatting some more, Du Qianjue said his goodbyes.

Before leaving, he told Du Busi that he might need to leave with Xue Linglong for a while to seclude themselves in the far north.

Du Busi readily agreed.

What Du Qianjue wanted to do was simple.

Condense the third soul core and absorb the Light Saint Dragon King's Dragon Pill. These two tasks could be undertaken simultaneously. In Du Qianjue's estimation, condensing the third soul core would require a tremendous amount of energy, as the third soul core needed to resonate with the previous two dual natured soul cores and be at least one and a half times their size.

Du Qianjue's two soul cores had already reached the level of Limit Douluos, meaning he needed to condense a soul core with the mass of a Limit Douluo. The energy required for this was enormous.

This was also why Du Qianjue hadn't absorbed the Light Saint Dragon King's Dragon Pill yet. It wasn't because he had forgotten about this treasure, but rather, he didn't have much of the original soul beast energy left in his body. The Dragon Pill was his last resort.

After absorbing the Dragon Pill and condensing the soul core, Du Qianjue would also consider acquiring the last three soul rings for his second spirit and completing the divine trials for Life and Destruction.

Becoming a god was within reach.

Sensing Du Qianjue 's return, Xue Linglong shifted from her languishing state on the bed to her usual aloof and noble demeanor.

"I, the Xue LingLong, cannot show weakness!"

"What is it, husband? Are you rested and ready to settle who the real king is?" Xue Linglong asked expectantly.

"Cough, wife, stop joking, I have serious matters to attend to!" Du Qianjue barely managed to suppress a shudder and quickly held back the eager Xue Linglong.

Hearing that Du Qianjue had serious matters rather than intimate ones, Xue Linglong also sighed in relief.

It was indeed tough to keep up.

"I need to condense my third soul core. It's not convenient at the Main Sect; the far north is more suitable. It's vast and sparsely populated, quiet enough not to be disturbed or cause any commotion," Du Qianjue explained.

Xue Linglong nodded, "Then let's go. It's a good opportunity for me to return to the far north and hand over the title of the Northern Overlord to A'Tai."

Xue Linglong had married Du Qianjue, and even if Du Qianjue were to create a world for soul beasts in the future, she would rarely return. The title of Overlord of the Beasts was definitely something she needed to hand over.

After Bingdi and Xiao Bai, Bingling were resurrected, whether they would return or not was unknown, so A'Tai could only be considered a temporary Northern Overlord.

Who would officially take over would have to be discussed after Du Qianjue became a god.

After finalizing their plans, Du Qianjue tore through space and instantly arrived deep within the Snow Emperor's Palace.

"Rest and prepare first, don't start yet. Wait for me to finish handing things over to A'Tai, and then I'll come back to protect you," Xue Linglong instructed.

Du Qianjue didn't mind, gently saying, "Alright, I'll wait for you to come back."

Xue Linglong smiled softly, planted a deep kiss on Du Qianjue's lips, and then turned to leave.

Meanwhile, Du Qianjue sat on the cold jade bed, silently regulating his breath. The half-month of intimacy with Xue Linglong had somewhat drained him, making it necessary to adjust his condition.

The Spirit of Life in his brow began to work, a large amount of life force washing over Du Qianjue's body, revitalizing him.

A faint green light gradually shone, and Du Qianjue's aura became increasingly robust and rounded.

When Du Qianjue opened his eyes again, Xue Linglong had already returned, calmly guarding by his side.

"Are you ready?" Xue Linglong asked with concern.

"Ready to start," Du Qianjue nodded, pulling out a box from his storage spirit device.
