Chapter 492: Soul Bone Distribution and Heading to Sea God Island

"What a majestic voice, is this the God Trial?" Huo Wu was so excited she could not control herself.

As a Spirit Master, this was her first time coming into contact with such an extraordinary power.

It was just a pity that her aptitude was insufficient, and she could not obtain the subsidiary trials of Feihuang's Unparalleled Divine General; according to Nan Feihuang, Shui Bing'er's future achievements would at least reach the level of a Second-Class God.

It truly made her feel both envious and jealous.

"Everyone, there is no need to be so envious. Although I cannot let you participate in my Unparalleled Divine General trials to become my deputy generals, at least I can let you follow my wife to Sea God Island to receive the Sea God's subsidiary trials. Even if you don't become gods, you can still become Title Douluo. I reckon the time is about right," Feihuang said with a smile.

These people had first consumed Spirit Pills and, like Shui Bing'er, had enjoyed the amplification of his Dunjia Heavenly Book. Most of them were now high-level Soul Kings, much like Ma Hongjun when he first went to Sea God Island in the original story. Feng Xiaotian, for instance, had even reached level 64 as a Soul Emperor, more than three levels higher than he was at the same period in the original story. Now, they were qualified to go to Sea God Island for training.

However, Feihuang did not intend for everyone to go.

For people like Jia Kui, Xing Daorong, Pan Feng, and Zhang Xingcai, Feihuang planned to keep them by his side. The reason was simple: even if they went to Sea God Island, they would not receive very good trials, at most Purple Level.

With that kind of cultivation progress, it would be better to stay by his side and cultivate.

Those Feihuang chose were, according to his judgment, people who had consumed Spirit Pills or Immortal Herbs and, if not one hundred percent, had a very high probability of meeting the Black Level examination standards.

In the end, besides Lv Lingqi who had to go, he chose the following people.

Meng Yiran, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, Feng Xiaotian, Shui Yue'er, Xue Wu, Ye Lingling, Yao Zi, and Yu Tianxin.

Actually, there were originally two more people: Dugu Yan and her husband Yu Tianheng.

But they refused. Tianheng and Tianxin had already ended the competition within their clan—not that they had decided a winner, but Yu Tianxin, moved by the sect's disaster, felt there could be no more internal strife. As the elder brother, he voluntarily withdrew and ceded the position of successor to Yu Tianheng. Tianheng was now the direct successor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, and with the Blue Lightning clan now needing to be rebuilt from the ruins, he was unwilling to go far away, and Dugu Yan did not want to be separated from Yu Tianheng.

Moreover, Yu Yuanzhen had already decided to slowly hand the family over to him and pass on the true foundation of the Blue Lightning: the True Dragon Nine Crowns.

With Yu Yuanzhen's selfless teaching, plus Feihuang's Dunjia Heavenly Book, whether or not he went to Sea God Island really did not have much impact on him. As for Dugu Yan, she studied poison and was likewise being taught by Dugu Bo while cultivating the internal energy mental cultivation method imparted by Feihuang; perhaps staying behind would yield more benefits, so Feihuang let them be.

One day later, Feihuang had arranged everything, and the group prepared to set off.

"Lingqi, take care of yourself along the way. Use the Vast Sea Universe Cover well, and no matter what happens, prioritize your own safety, do you understand?" Feihuang exhorted.

"Rest assured, husband. I am not a weak woman with no strength to truss a chicken; I have charged into formations on the battlefield before," Lv Lingqi said confidently. "I know that after Qian Renxue returns home, she must have started the Angel God trials. I cannot lose to her either. When I return, I will also become a help to my husband."

Nan Feihuang smiled and gently stroked Lingqi's silver-white hair. Among all his confidantes, this girl was the one who thought of him the most, without a shred of selfishness, devoting herself to him wholeheartedly.

Besides Feihuang and Lingqi, the others were also lingering in their farewells, giving instructions.

Shui Youlan was most worried about Shui Yue'er; after all, this daughter's personality was too flighty and not at all as steady as Shui Bing'er. Fortunately, there was Xue Wu to look after her along the way, which made her feel slightly more at ease.

"Yue'er, take this. Inside is a gift, or rather, a reward, from your junior brother," Shui Bing'er said as she tied a bracelet onto Shui Yue'er's wrist.

"Sister, is this a Storage Soul Guidance Device? What's inside?" Shui Yue'er asked curiously. "There are daily necessities, a Gold Soul Coin card, and..." Shui Bing'er said, leaning in close to Shui Yue'er at the end, "there are two soul bones!"

"What?" Shui Yue'er was startled. Her junior brother was actually so generous to her, just gifting her two soul bones like that.

"Have you forgotten? You helped your junior brother persuade the Element Academy and Plant Academy to join the Gu Lei Kingdom. With such a great merit, how could he not reward you? The reason he didn't give them to you earlier was in the hope that you would keep them to use for breaking through bottlenecks. Of these two soul bones, one is thirty thousand years old, and one is fifty thousand years old. Remember, at level fifty-nine, absorb the thirty-thousand-year soul bone first to break through the realm, and when you reach level sixty-nine, absorb the fifty-thousand-year one to break through to level seventy, do you understand?" Shui Bing'er instructed.

In fact, most of these soul bones were originally compensation from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

At that time, Ning Fengzhi had given a total of two fifty-thousand-year ones, plus three around thirty thousand years old.

Of those two fifty-thousand-year soul bones, one had been absorbed by Shui Bing'er, and the other was in Shui Yue'er's Spirit Tool.

The thirty-thousand-year soul bones were the same; one was placed together with that fifty-thousand-year one.

As for the other two, one was biased toward attack and one toward support; Feihuang had gifted them to Jia Kui and Zhang Xingcai respectively.

In addition, there was the Defense Torso Bone obtained from killing Huyan Zhen, and the Zhentian Roar Skull that dropped from Slaughter City, which were gifted to Xing Daorong and Pan Feng.

After all, they had not been arranged to go to Sea God Island, and Feihuang could not favor one over the other. They were Feihuang's earliest foundation; even if their aptitude was not as good as the geniuses of the Element Academy, Feihuang would not abandon them.

He could not be like Bibi Dong, where the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, worked conscientiously for her for a lifetime, only for Chrysanthemum Douluo to end up without a single soul bone.

Feihuang did not believe that in such a large Wuhun City, not a single soul bone worthy of Chrysanthemum Douluo could be found.

Excluding these, Feihuang still had two soul bones on hand: one was the roughly fifty-thousand-year Right Leg Bone that dropped from Ghost Douluo, and the eight-thousand-year Golden Skull obtained after Yu Tianxin killed Huyan Li.

Since that Golden Skull dropped for Yu Tianxin, Feihuang would not snatch it, but Yu Tianxin seemed to look down on this mere eight-thousand-year skull, so he gifted it to Huo Wushuang.

It could be considered a friendship; as a power-type, Huo Wushuang was quite well-suited for this power-type soul bone.

With this, all the soul bones on Feihuang's person had been exhausted, but it was worth it.

Things like soul bones only have value if someone uses them; if they are left in the Treasure Pavilion to gather dust, they have no meaning at all.

Soon, Long Gong and She Po comforted Meng Yiran, the several academy heads bid a reluctant farewell to their children, and Feihuang also let go of Lv Lingqi's hand.

The group boarded the carriages and left Gu Lei Royal City.

Parting is always sorrowful, and this trip was one where no one knew how long it would take.

The three carriages were each pulled by four sturdy horses. Nan Feihuang specifically dispatched several Brute Force Sect disciples to serve as coachmen, driving the carriages toward the north.

Watching the carriages gradually move away, the light in Feihuang's eyes could not help but dim slightly, "Lingqi, I will wait for your return!"
