Chapter 29: Probing, Remnants of the Spirit Hall

"Little guy, don't be nervous, this old man has no malice toward you."

The old yet peaceful voice sounded in his ears. Shu Yan's consciousness was somewhat dazed. Vaguely, he seemed to hear a majestic dragon roar, but in the next moment, his consciousness seemed to have suddenly broken free from the tide, and his whole person instantly came back to his senses. The golden soul power wrapped around his body also dissipated. Shu Yan landed straight on the ground, half-kneeling and panting, still having a lingering fear in his eyes.

Qiangu Chaosheng slowly withdrew his hand, the smile in his eyes unchanged, and said softly:

"This is the future of the Star Luo Empire? It is indeed not bad. You can actually barely resist this old man's dragon might with the power of a Soul King. Ice Heaven Snow Girl, it is worthy of being a super martial soul with extreme attributes. Even if it is compared to the Light and Dark Dual Holy Dragons, it is not inferior at all..."

Xu Jiujiu stepped forward quickly and came to Shu Yan's side, somewhat worriedly saying:

"A-Yan, are you okay?"

Shu Yan shook his head gently, then stood up slowly with Xu Jiujiu's support, looking at the old man who always had a peaceful smile on his face, he bowed slightly, and then said:

"Thank you, senior, for showing mercy."

Qiangu Chaosheng shook his head, looking at Shu Yan with deep meaning. He paused, then said:

"This old man is very optimistic about you. Cultivate well. In the future, this old man will grant you an opportunity..."

After saying that, Qiangu Chaosheng nodded lightly to the Ice and Snow Dual Emperors, then turned and walked toward the shadows. When he passed by Xu Jiawei, he whispered: "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry. When there is a common goal, the hatred and estrangement between races can be temporarily set aside. Sincerity and trust are necessary conditions for both parties in cooperation. You should know this better than this old man..."

"Forget it, forget it, there is nothing more to say. Everything is a predestined fate, cherish it..."

Qiangu Chaosheng's leisurely voice entered everyone's ears, and then his figure slowly disappeared into the shadows.

Xu Jiawei didn't come back to his senses until his figure completely disappeared. He looked at the Snow Empress who was calm and composed on the stage and the Ice Empress who was still sulking. Xu Jiujiu held Shu Yan's arm. For a time, the silence between the five people was as if they had nothing to say, but everyone knew that the contract had been successfully concluded. As for how to deepen it, that was a matter for the future...

Night fell. Xu Jiujiu was sitting cross-legged on the star platform absorbing the power of the starry sky for cultivation. Points of starlight flickered and circled around Xu Jiujiu like stars. The starlight turned into a magnificent crown and appeared on her head. Eighteen gems were shining brightly. For a time, Xu Jiujiu was set off as if she were a star goddess, brilliant and stunning. Unfortunately, this beautiful scene could only be appreciated openly by Shu Yan.

Shu Yan sat alone on the top of the pavilion looking at the waning moon. The moonlight was cold and stunning. Shu Yan's long hair was somewhat messy from the evening wind. He organized his thoughts, but more of it was thinking about the words Xu Jiawei said to him privately today.

From Xu Jiawei's mouth, Shu Yan verified his guess.

The real name of Elder Qian was actually Qiangu Chaosheng, and his martial soul was the top-tier tool martial soul, the Coiled Dragon Staff. From the information revealed by Xu Jiawei, it was highly likely that this old man was the descendant of the sixth and seventh elders of the Offering Hall belonging to the Spirit Hall, the strongest soul master force on the continent ten thousand years ago.

Shu Yan didn't know much about everything in the era of the Peerless Tang Sect, but he still knew about the things in the era of Dou 1.

The powerhouses of the Spirit Hall in the great battle ten thousand years ago did not die, but disappeared with the complete destruction of the Spirit Hall. It was hard to say whether the two had descendants, but in the era of Dou 3, the Qiangu family that inherited the Coiled Dragon Staff martial soul did indeed appear. Synthesizing the above conditions, the possibility that this Elder Qian was the descendant of the two Spirit Hall elders ten thousand years ago exceeded 90%...

"Descendants of the Spirit Hall, this is getting more and more interesting."

Shu Yan pondered for a long time, and finally laughed out loud.

Everything on this continent was already wonderful enough. Even if there were more anomalies, what did it matter? Shu Yan found it hard to deny that he was indeed a person who liked "liveliness".

A soft sound came from behind, and the familiar fragrance came. Shu Yan didn't even need to look back to guess the identity of the person who came. Under the illumination of the moonlight, the Snow Empress looked even more cold and arrogant. She just stood there quietly, as if she had plundered all the beauty of the moonlight. In the night, both of them had white hair and blue eyes, peerless in elegance. Even without making a sound, they constituted a beautiful scene that was difficult to describe in words.

Star Cloud Douluo, who witnessed this scene from afar, sighed, as if she was missing her lost youth. Back then, wasn't she also a stunning beauty who was famous throughout the Star Luo Empire? It was just that the beauty was fleeting. Now, she had already become a grandmother-level figure and no longer had her former beauty...

The Snow Empress stared at Shu Yan for a while, then sat down on the wooden beam protruding from the top of the pavilion and said softly:

"Any discoveries?"

Shu Yan stretched, and replied casually:

"It's hard to say. Elder Qian's origin seems to be linked to the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago, and the possibility is terrifyingly high. It can almost be concluded."

"Spirit Hall?"

The Snow Empress murmured softly, seeming somewhat confused.

Shu Yan suddenly came back to his senses, only then remembering that the Snow Empress now had almost no understanding of the history of the human world, so he continued to explain:

"Spirit Hall was the most powerful soul master force on the continent ten thousand years ago. It once gave birth to two gods, namely the Angel God representing light and the Rakshasa God representing evil."

"After the later God War, these two gods were beheaded by the Sea God, and the Spirit Hall was destroyed as a result. But the many powerhouses belonging to the Spirit Hall survived, and their bloodline has been passed down for ten thousand years. Elder Qian today is likely the descendant of the sixth and seventh elders of the Spirit Hall."

The Snow Empress frowned slightly, seeming to be thinking about something. After a moment, she continued to ask: "And then?"

Shu Yan looked up at the waning moon, sighed, and then said: "The descendants of the powerhouses of the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago now mostly have inheritance, and some are even within the territory of the Star Luo Empire. I only learned this from Imperial Brother today."

The Snow Empress nodded, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to win them over to work for you?"

Shu Yan looked at the Snow Empress with some surprise, then nodded.

"That war ten thousand years ago was very tragic. The Spirit Hall lineage had blood feuds with the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Destroying Shrek was even an obsession engraved in the blood of many of them. It can be said that the words revenge and washing away shame have absolute temptation for them. Later, the Star Luo Empire changed hands, Xu family replaced Dai family, and the hatred also shifted from the White Tiger Imperial Family of Star Luo Empire and the Nether Duke Mansion to the current White Tiger Duke Mansion. In some respects, the current Star Luo Imperial Family has no hatred with them, and can even be said to have some special bonds. This can be seen from Elder Qian's status in the Star Luo Empire and Imperial Brother's attitude."

"In some respects, their goals overlap with ours. Do you still remember what I told you in the Extreme North Land? This is very realistic. In this era, wanting to become a god without constraints, it is inevitable to be an enemy of Shrek and that Sea God..."

The Snow Empress was silent for a while. The memory about this part was very clear. Although she didn't know why Shu Yan knew so much, the Snow Empress understood a truth from it: In this era, wanting to become a god, either accept the discipline of that Sea God and become his obedient "dog", or only be able to rise against the heavens and strive to seek other ways of life. Apart from this, it seems that there is really no other way to seek...
