Chapter 63: What to do if you encounter people from the Clear Sky Sect

~16 min read 3,040 words

The Lingxu family entered the Sunset Forest together, but they had to find a Spirit Ring for Luo Yun'er first.

After all, she was level forty and did not have the qualifications to absorb a Spirit Ring beyond her rank.

To find one for her, they only needed to look for a Spirit Ring just over four thousand years old.

Therefore, Lingxu did not rush to use the Lucky Light on his mother, Luo Xingyue.

Now that Luo Yun'er's martial soul had evolved into a Fire Cloud Phoenix-Tailed Sparrow, they had to look for a corresponding fire-type Spirit Ring.

Of course, it would be even better if it were a Spirit Beast containing phoenix bloodline.

Entering the thousand-year Spirit Beast zone, the group wandered for two days before finding a Flame Thorn Bird just over four thousand three hundred years old.

Facing a flying Spirit Beast, it was naturally up to Luo Xingyue to take action herself.

Against a four-thousand-plus-year Spirit Beast, the level eighty Luo Xingyue had the Flame Thorn Bird lying on the ground, gasping its last breath, in less than ten minutes.

Subsequently, Luo Yun'er killed it and began to absorb the Spirit Ring.

After Luo Yun'er absorbed the Spirit Ring, Puffer Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo left.

After they left, they naturally went to the ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast zone to search for Spirit Rings for Qian Renxue and Lingxu.

After all, they were in the thousand-year Spirit Beast zone, and with Ling Bufan and Luo Xingyue present, there was no need to worry about Qian Renxue's safety.

Bringing up the search for ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts could save quite a bit of time.

It was just that when they left, Qian Renxue gave them a difficult problem; anything under twenty thousand years was considered normal, but finding two of the same type was very difficult.

It was not an easy task to find two that were both suitable.

However, Qian Renxue and Lingxu were not in a hurry.

It took Luo Yun'er about six hours to absorb the Spirit Ring, succeeding only from the morning until the evening.

Luo Yun'er, who had become a Soul Ancestor, was not even twenty years old.

Originally possessing mediocre aptitude, she could be considered a genius after consuming the Immortal Grade Herb.

However, Luo Yun'er was not proud of it at all; after all, in front of Lingxu and Qian Renxue, her talent and soul power were far behind.

In her heart, there was more gratitude toward Lingxu.

Without Lingxu's help, if she had followed her own cultivation speed, it would have taken her until about thirty years old to cultivate into a Soul Ancestor.

The first thing she said upon rising was to thank Lingxu.

That night, the group did not continue their activities, resting on the spot and waiting for news from Puffer Douluo and Serpent Spear Douluo.

Fortunately, early the next morning, they returned.

With their speed, they could search a very large area in a day and a night.

"How is it? Did you find suitable Spirit Beasts?"

Seeing the two return, Qian Renxue took the initiative to ask.

Puffer Douluo said, "Princess, we did not fail our mission. We found two suitable Spirit Beasts, and these two Spirit Beasts are a pair."

"It's a pity..."

"The pity is that the age of one Spirit Beast has already exceeded twenty thousand years, while the other is just right at over eighteen thousand years."

Lingxu said, "Then, how much does the one that exceeds it exceed by?"

Serpent Spear Douluo said, "About twenty-five thousand years or so. This has already exceeded the limit you can absorb, and it is very dangerous."

Qian Renxue said, "Brother Lingxu, how about we change to a different kind of Spirit Beast?"

Lingxu did not answer directly, but instead asked, "What kind of Spirit Beasts are these two?"

"Purple-Striped Gold Pythons. They are considered a relatively powerful type of Spirit Beast, so we must be cautious," Puffer Douluo reminded.

"Son, this is not a game; think it over clearly," Ling Bufan said, reminding him.

Lingxu had already given them too many surprises, so he would not interfere with Lingxu's decision for now, but he still had to offer a reminder during the process.

Qian Renxue also reminded, "Brother Lingxu, you must also consider it carefully; the age is indeed exceeding the limit by too much."

Lingxu shook his head and said, "I think it's fine. It's just twenty-five thousand years; no problem."

Regarding this Spirit Beast, since his Ice Fire Body Tempering, Lingxu had underestimated his limits every time; he should be able to handle over twenty thousand years.

"Are you sure, Brother Lingxu?" Qian Renxue asked.

Lingxu nodded and smiled, "Don't worry, since I have decided, I am confident."

"Alright, then lead us there," Qian Renxue said.

Puffer Douluo said, "Follow us. That place is still a long distance from here, but fortunately, we found their lair, so it is easy to find."

The group set off together, including Luo Yun'er, who had just become a Soul Ancestor; after all, with such a powerful lineup, they could ensure her safety even in the ten-thousand-year Spirit Beast zone.

And letting her go back alone would be even more dangerous.

There was a long distance from the thousand-year zone to the ten-thousand-year zone, and the group trekked through the jungle until three or four in the afternoon before approaching their destination.

But just when they were less than three kilometers from the destination, a loud bang startled the jungle.

Is someone hunting Spirit Beasts ahead?

Puffer Douluo secretly thought it was bad.

"Quick, someone is actually snatching our Spirit Beasts."

Swish...

In such a vast Spirit Beast forest, it was not easy to end up wanting the same Spirit Beast.

Fortunately, when Lingxu and the others arrived, these two Purple-Striped Gold Pythons were not yet dead.

The ones hunting the Purple-Striped Gold Pythons were two middle-aged men holding hammers.

One had level eighty-two soul power, one had level sixty, and there was also one at level sixty-seven.

Two men and one woman!

The woman had level sixty soul power, but her martial soul was different from the two men.

The Pufferfish Title Douluo stepped forward and said, "Isn't your Clear Sky Sect hiding away like cowards?"

The Serpent Spear Title Douluo said, "Ci Xue, even if they are hiding, they still need Spirit Rings."

She Long was not wrong in saying this; if the reclusive Clear Sky Sect wanted to grow, they had to have Spirit Rings.

And to get Spirit Rings, one must go to the Spirit Beast forest.

Otherwise, would they stop leveling up and improving after going into seclusion?

That is certainly impossible; after all, in the twenty years or so of seclusion, the five Elders of the Clear Sky Sect have all become Title Douluo.

Sect disciples needing Spirit Rings must certainly come to the Spirit Beast forest, and the fact that no one has discovered them is simply because they hide and use Disguise well.

Moreover, looking at the attire of the three, it is very ordinary, just like common civilians; if they did not reveal their martial soul, how could one know they are from the Clear Sky Sect?

However, this woman is quite beautiful; her martial soul is a snake, and it looks like she should be the wife of that level 67 Spirit Master.

The Clear Sky Hammer is the main martial soul of the Clear Sky Sect, but the martial souls within the sect are not all Clear Sky Hammers; after all, there are not many of them, and if they did not marry outsiders, they would have been a large group of deformed children long ago.

Seeing the attire of Lingxu and the others, there seemed to be a flash of anger on the other party's faces.

"People from the Spirit Hall?" that level 67 Spirit Emperor said sternly.

"You killed my son, I want to kill you." The woman was also angry; perhaps before they went into seclusion, people from the Spirit Hall and their Clear Sky Sect had small-scale battles.

Since it was a battle, casualties were inevitable.

The Pufferfish Title Douluo said, "Hmph... we killed them? It would be better to say it was your Clear Sky Sect yourselves."

"How should they be dealt with?"

Both Title Douluo looked at Qian Renxue; everything still had to be decided by Qian Renxue.

At this moment, Qian Renxue actually already knew who the person who severely injured Qian Xunji was, but she still looked at Lingxu and said, "Brother Lingxu, what do you think?"

Lingxu smiled and said, "Since it is a reclusive life, they should return to seclusion; why not send them to their final seclusion?"

Regarding the Clear Sky Sect, Lingxu would not be polite.

Sooner or later they would have to be dealt with, and looking at the other party's appearance, they looked as if they wanted to eat them alive; how could one be polite?

Qian Renxue nodded and said, "Actually, that is what I meant too."

The Serpent Spear Title Douluo said, "Then let's do it."

Both Title Douluo attacked at the same time; the moment they revealed their Spirit Rings, the people of the Clear Sky Sect panicked slightly, but they still had one level 82 Spirit Douluo.

"I will hold them off, you hurry and escape!"

This level 82 Spirit Douluo held a Clear Sky Hammer and blocked the front.

The Pufferfish Title Douluo laughed, are you going to block the two of us?

Swish...

Just in the next moment, the Serpent Spear Title Douluo raised his serpent spear and immediately charged up.

Not everyone can suppress the Serpent Spear Title Douluo like Yang Wudi.

After all, this Yang Wudi follows an extreme path; there is a reason why the Serpent Spear Title Douluo failed in every battle in the original work.

In every battle, the two would clash head-on, and the Serpent Spear Title Douluo never believed he would lose.

Therefore, he did not utilize his own advantages, but instead clashed head-on with Yang Wudi's strongest attacks.

This is the reason that led to his defeat; after all, although the serpent spear martial soul is not as good as the Soul-Breaking Spear in the Douluo World, it is not much worse.

The Soul-Breaking Spear is ranked third among Tool Martial Souls, while the serpent spear can also rank in the top ten; although not high, it still reached the ninth position.

Facing the ferocity of the Clear Sky Hammer, the Serpent Spear Title Douluo learned his lesson.

This time he knew he could not use the serpent spear to clash head-on with the Clear Sky Hammer.

Therefore, this level 82 Spirit Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect also found it difficult to gain any advantage from the Serpent Spear Title Douluo.

Another thing is this Clear Sky Hammer martial soul; although the martial soul is powerful, not everyone is like Tang Hao, who could push the combat power of the Clear Sky Hammer to the extreme.

Moreover, the Clear Sky Nine Decisions are not something ordinary Clear Sky Sect disciples can practice; this Clear Sky Sect Spirit Douluo only had the Rampaging Wind Hammer Technique.

Just after it was used, the Serpent Spear Title Douluo suddenly exerted force and directly activated his Martial Soul Avatar.

He did not give the opponent any chance to accumulate power at all.

Because he knew that once it was accumulated to the later stages, even he would not be a match.

With a series of loud rumbles, this level 82 Clear Sky Sect Spirit Douluo could only abandon the Rampaging Wind Hammer Technique.

Only to hear the Serpent Spear Title Douluo mock, "Back then, I also killed quite a few of your Clear Sky Sect disciples; this Rampaging Wind Hammer Technique is useless against me."

"You... I will kill you."

This... Lingxu was speechless watching this; he originally thought the Serpent Spear Title Douluo had become a bit smarter, but now it seems that is not enough.

Why provoke the other party?

You do not have an absolute advantage.

After the Martial Soul Avatar was released, this Clear Sky Sect Spirit Douluo was now completely an angry warrior.

He swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, attacking the Serpent Spear Title Douluo regardless of everything and without fear of death.

Even though the Serpent Spear Title Douluo used his Martial Soul Avatar, he was still beaten into constant retreat.

And on the other side, it was easier for the Pufferfish Title Douluo to deal with those two, one level 67 and one level 60.

Before long, the two were poisoned by the Pufferfish Title Douluo, and death was soon to follow.

Seeing the Serpent Spear Title Douluo being suppressed, the Pufferfish Title Douluo could not help but shake his head.

Ah...

The Pufferfish Title Douluo made his move, emitting two screams; the two Clear Sky Sect disciples perished.

He turned back and looked at the Serpent Spear Title Douluo.

"She Long, do you need my help?" the Pufferfish Title Douluo said.

The Serpent Spear Title Douluo also had his dignity, and said, "No need, watch me kill him."

At this moment, Ling Bufan was not idle either; while they were fighting, he had been dealing with these two already-injured Purple-Striped Gold Pythons.

Ling Bufan was still at ease with two Title Douluo handling the fight.

It was just that as the battle continued, it gave him the feeling that having the Serpent Spear Douluo deal with this Spirit Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect was not as good as doing it himself.

The two's battle continued, but fortunately, the Serpent Spear Douluo now practiced the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art, which provided bonuses to all aspects of his abilities.

Boom...

That Martial Soul Avatar transformed into a large snake, piercing through the body of this level 82 Spirit Douluo from the Clear Sky Sect.

After he fell to the ground, the Serpent Spear Douluo also withdrew his Martial Soul Avatar.

Finally, it could be considered a victory.

In the Douluo world, the impression the Serpent Spear Douluo gave people was just like that joke from a past life: a flurry of operations as fierce as a tiger, but looking at the performance, zero kills and five deaths.

This time, he could be considered to have proven himself; to tell the truth, the Serpent Spear Douluo was actually quite strong.

If the Pufferfish Douluo had been left to face such a Spirit Douluo, it probably wouldn't have gone any better.

After all, this Serpent Spear martial soul was a mutation, possessing both the toughness and strength of a Tool Martial Soul and the formidable physical body of a Beast Martial Soul.

Meeting an opponent like Yang Wudi who happened to restrain him did indeed make him appear somewhat lackluster.

When this level 82 Spirit Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect died, the Serpent Spear Douluo also arrived before the body and then delivered another strike with his spear.

Subsequently, the Serpent Spear Douluo was seen bending down, unexpectedly retrieving a soul bone from this level 82 Spirit Douluo's body.

One must know that he was level 91, yet he only possessed one soul bone on his body, and its quality was not particularly good.

When the Pufferfish Douluo saw this, he immediately regretted it and said, "If I had known, I would have come to deal with this guy."

"A 30,000-year Right Arm Bone, medium-high quality, er... it suits you, not me."

With the soul bone obtained, the Serpent Spear Douluo's strength could improve once more.

"Haha, good luck," the Serpent Spear Douluo said.

At the same time, Ling Bufan also called out, "I'm done on my side too; you can come and absorb the Spirit Rings."

Two Spirit Beasts, one over 18,000 years old, and one over 25,000 years old.

Qian Renxue said, "Brother Lingxu, it is time for us to absorb the Spirit Rings."

Lingxu said, "En, Xue'er, be careful, and don't forget the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art."

"En, you too, Brother Lingxu! I hope this time we can have as good luck as last time," Qian Renxue said.

Although she felt it was impossible, she still wanted to say it.

The two almost simultaneously killed the Purple-Striped Gold Pythons, and then two black Spirit Rings rose up.

They sat cross-legged and began to absorb the Spirit Rings.

Having the soul bone, the Serpent Spear Douluo felt as if he were being scratched by a cat; his heart was itching!

He really wanted to start absorbing the soul bone right there, but Qian Renxue was absorbing a Spirit Ring, so he definitely could not go do anything else; he had to ensure that absolutely no accidents occurred.

To avoid attracting other Spirit Beasts, the two then cleaned up the corpses of these three Clear Sky Sect disciples.

"These were just out for supplies; the Space Soul Guidance Devices are all filled with food," the Serpent Spear Douluo said after checking the other party's Space Soul Guidance Device.

The Clear Sky Sect appeared to be in seclusion, but in reality, they were not.

With several experts guarding, Lingxu could devote himself one hundred percent to absorbing the Spirit Ring.

The Spirit Ring entered his body, and the absorption began!

Not long after, the energy within the 25,000-year Spirit Ring erupted like a flood, entering Lingxu's body.

Was it this intense right from the start?

Lingxu exerted his full strength to circulate the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art to absorb it; he had only encountered this kind of feeling before when he absorbed the Golden Saber-Toothed Tiger.

For safety's sake, Lingxu also released his External Spirit Bone, the Golden Armor!

Qian Renxue's situation was similar to Lingxu's, and she also released the Golden Armor to cover her entire body just like Lingxu.

It seemed that the two Spirit Rings they were absorbing had already reached the limit of their bodies.

Fortunately, the two had the Golden Armor External Spirit Bone, and both had timely circulated the Lingxue Sacred Heart Art, which immediately alleviated all the difficulties of absorbing the Spirit Rings.
