Chapter 187: Travel Mission | Farewell

However, now that the World Rune was in hand, there was no need for Ning Feiliu to continue participating in Spirit Fighting Battles.

He planned to tell Yu Tianheng and the others about this tomorrow; as for what came after...

A line of small text appeared before Ning Feiliu's eyes—

【Travel to any one of the Douluo Dalu's East, South, West, or North regions. During the journey, soul power cultivation speed will increase twofold. Upon completion, obtain the incomplete Resurrection Rune.】

He shook his head. The content of the mission he had triggered previously was actually: 【Travel to any one of the Douluo Dalu's East, South, West, or North regions for one year, and increase soul power by sixteen levels.】

He had originally planned to wait until he reached a higher level before completing this mission, as sixteen levels of soul power would be terrifyingly significant when his level was already high.

In truth, he had been somewhat surprised at the start; the gap between the difficulty and the rewards of this mission was simply absurd.

Unexpectedly, when he thought of this mission again, the content had changed.

It no longer directly rewarded soul power increases, but instead changed to accelerating soul power cultivation speed, while granting an incomplete Resurrection Rune upon completion.

The Resurrection Rune he currently possessed was incomplete, only about one-third of it.

He wondered if the incomplete rune he could obtain this time would still be one-third, or if it would be two-thirds directly.

Ning Feiliu had also begun to grasp the mechanism of his ability; aside from triggering corresponding missions based on his thoughts, the harder the mission triggered, the better the reward, while simple missions provided much lower-tier rewards.

Thinking carefully, was the reward of a sixteen-level soul power increase because he only wanted to break through to Soul Elder at the time, and also because, with his strength as a Spirit Master back then, traveling to any region of the continent was fraught with danger, hence such a generous reward? Now that his strength had improved and the difficulty of traveling the continent had decreased, the rewards were naturally not as simple, crude, and powerful.

If he waited until his strength was even higher, the rewards would likely decrease again.

"Forget it, there's nothing left to stay for in Heaven Dou City; it's time to go out and gain some experience," Ning Feiliu said, taking a deep breath.

But before that... he had to finish the tasks related to the Immortal Herb Cultivation Technique and the Exotic Beast first. He also intended to use the accumulated Destructive Power of the Sun within his body to forge a unique Soul Guidance Device.

Furthermore... he had to wait for the Spirit Blossom Tree to grow a Blooming Spirit Flower and attempt to help Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan see the spirits of Dugu Xin and Duan Zilin before he could propose leaving Heaven Dou City to travel.

He also planned to break through to Soul Ancestor during this period, so that his strength would be guaranteed when he left Heaven Dou City.

With the cultivation of a Soul Ancestor, he should be able to exert combat power surpassing that of a Soul Ancestor. In this era where the Spirit Hall existed, and given that there were currently not that many Evil Soul Masters or dangers on the continent, this level of strength should be enough for him to barely protect himself.

It was truly thanks to the Spirit Hall driving all the Fallen Ones of this era into Slaughter City that he dared to go out and gain experience with the cultivation of a Soul Ancestor.

If he had transmigrated into the timeline of the Peerless Tang Sect, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing; he would have to reach the cultivation of a Soul Saint at the very least before daring to run out.

After deciding on his subsequent itinerary, Ning Feiliu became busy once again; he had to work hard to develop the final Alchemy Potion.

There was also the fact that he was only one level of soul power away from breaking through to Soul Ancestor.

The next day.

This time, Ning Feiliu did not cover his face as he arrived outside the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.

However, he was still a little unaccustomed to this, and it wasn't just him; even Ye Lingling, Yu Tianheng, and the others outside the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena hadn't reacted in time.

But there were benefits to this as well.

By revealing his true appearance, Ning Feiliu was instead not recognized by anyone.

After all, everyone was used to seeing Ning Feiliu wearing a mask; his true face did not have such high recognition.

"Everyone, let me formally introduce myself first." Ning Feiliu came before Yu Tianheng and the others, but said this first, "My real name is Ning Feiliu. Um, thank you all for your help during this time." "Ning Feiliu... Ning?" Yufeng froze for a moment, then asked with a strange expression, "Could it be that you are..."

"A disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect." Ning Feiliu did not intend to hide it at this moment and said directly, "My father is the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect you saw yesterday."

The situation immediately exploded. In fact, Ning Feiliu's status as a student of the "Poison Douluo" was already very noble.

But compared to someone like the Young Sect Master of one of the two great sects, it was still a bit lacking.

After all, the Title Douluo of the two great sects were both at the Ninety-Fifth Level or higher, which was much stronger than Dugu Bo, a "low-level" Title Douluo who had only just broken through to the Ninety-Second Level of soul power.

Therefore, someone with Yu Tianheng's status could still faintly suppress Ning Feiliu.

But now... once Ning Feiliu's identity as the son of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master was revealed, Yu Tianheng's status was at most on par with Ning Feiliu's, or even slightly inferior.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the second-ranked sect in the world, and Ning Feiliu also had the identity of being a student of the Poison Douluo.

"Ah... Feiliu, you really are full of surprises," Oslo said, clicking his tongue. "But what is going on with your martial soul?"

"It underwent some mutations." Ning Feiliu did not intend to give a detailed explanation to Oslo and the others, simply attributing it to a martial soul mutation.

"The Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, a new martial soul derived from a martial soul mutation?" Yu Tianxin muttered in a low voice at this moment.

This meant that in the future, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might have more direct-line disciples with the ability to protect themselves.

Regardless, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would definitely focus on cultivating Ning Feiliu's branch to guard the sect in the future.

Everyone knew that martial soul mutations could be stably inherited; likewise, martial souls that had evolved and mutated after absorbing a Soul Ring could also be stably inherited.

Just like how Ma Hongjun's martial soul was inherited by Ma Xiaotao in the original story, although Ma Hongjun had eaten the Immortal Herb Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower and clearly solved the Evil Fire problem of his martial soul, it did not solve the Evil Fire problem of the Evil Fire Phoenix, which continued to be passed down to his descendants.

This probably proved that Immortal Herbs could only solve current problems and could not be inherited.

It was the same logic as being a white person who later got a tan; such dark skin would likely not be inherited by one's children.

But Ning Feiliu's case was a bit different, because his martial soul's change was not just due to simply consuming Immortal Herbs, but also because of... that miraculous Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method.

The Martial Soul Forging Method was equivalent to modifying the martial soul to a certain extent and engraving the energy of the Immortal Herbs into the genetic information. The remaining energy from the excessive absorption of the three great Immortal Herbs and moonlight remained in his bloodline. His bloodline might see the energy within it attenuate generation after generation, but it would not disappear directly in the second generation.

Not to mention that he could master the Immortal Herb Cultivation Technique later on; the Immortal Herb Cultivation Technique actually benefited not only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect but also his future descendants.

His descendants could henceforth completely break free from martial soul limitations, possess combat capabilities, and not be shackled by levels.

It could be said that the value of the Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method was actually higher than that of the Immortal Herbs.

And after Ning Fengzhi learned of Ning Feiliu's situation, he had actually made up his mind after returning: even if Ning Feiliu did not want to be the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he would still strengthen his branch.

The Douluo Continent also had a system of having three wives and four concubines. Like the upper-class nobles, Dai Hao from the Peerless Tang Sect era had several wives, and could even mess around with the maids around him.

As a result, he messed up in the end and produced the Child of Destiny, Huo Gua...

If it weren't for Tang San resurrecting Huo Yun'er and training Huo Yuhao to be as obedient as a dog, he and his family would probably have been wiped out by Huo Gua...

And Ning Fengzhi actually intended... for the sake of the sect's future, to let Ning Feiliu have many children and much happiness in the future.

However, Ning Feiliu naturally did not know about this; he was only focused on the matters at hand.

"Thank you all for your help during this time." Ning Feiliu thanked Yu Tianheng and the others again at this moment, then said, "However, I am going to withdraw from the team and will no longer participate in Spirit Fighting Battles."
