Chapter 8: Du Busi
"Indeed, that place has a high probability of giving me an extremely powerful second martial soul."
Du Qianjue hadn't expected Du Busi to figure out the correct answer so quickly.
What is the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?
It's the place where two of the Nine Dragon Kings, the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, perished. Deep within the spring lie their remains and dragon souls. If he could fuse the soul of the Ice Dragon King or even the combined Ice and Fire Dragon King's soul into his blank martial soul, wouldn't Du Qianjue gain a martial soul on the level of the Nine Dragon Kings?
In ten thousand years, a soul master with just the incomplete Mountain Dragon King martial soul caused a lot of trouble for the protagonist Tang Wulin. How powerful would a complete Dragon King martial soul be?
When Du Qianjue attempts to break through to become a god, integrating this martial soul into his body would bring about an unimaginable transformation. This would be far superior to having just the Ice Emperor or Snow Emperor martial soul.
Additionally, with the various celestial herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Du Qianjue was confident he could create his own god position and achieve godhood before thirty. He could become a God King within a century, ascend to the God Realm, and ally with the God of Destruction to take down Tang San directly!
If Du Qianjue didn't take the risk to explore the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, his development would slow significantly. If Tang San noticed something was wrong, he might forcefully eliminate him.
Never doubt Tang San's character; he would definitely do such a thing.
"Time, time, Tang San, all this pressure. If I become a god, I will repay you for everything!" Du Qianjue silently gritted his teeth.
Meanwhile, Du Busi was also conflicted. Whether he broke through to the ultimate level was secondary, even though he had desired that level for nearly a century, and his brother had died trying to reach it.
These considerations paled compared to Du Qianjue's potential godhood.
Then Du Busi had an idea.
Wait! Why should I follow Qianjue's plan exactly? I can go check it out first! If I can break through and return, I can go again with him!
Du Busi slapped his forehead and shared his idea with Du Qianjue.
Du Qianjue was stunned. They had agreed to risk their lives together, and now the old man wanted to go alone?
Seeing Du Qianjue's bewildered expression, Du Busi grabbed his shoulders and spoke earnestly.
"Qianjue, I know you're worried about me, afraid that your mistake might lead to my death. But you need to understand, I can die, everyone in the Ontology Sect can die, but you cannot. You are the future of our Ontology Sect. As long as you grow strong, the Ontology Sect will eventually stand above even Shrek Academy."
"So, if we must go, I will go first. If I return successfully, I will take you. If I don't, I'll let Jinpeng temporarily lead the sect until you reach Soul Douluo level and take over."
Hearing Du Busi's almost final words, Du Qianjue silently nodded.
"Don't worry, Uncle. If I become a god, the Ontology Sect will become the sanctuary for soul masters on this continent."
"Good, then I'm off!" Du Busi nodded in satisfaction.
As he watched Du Busi leave, Du Qianjue clenched his fists.
Great, now I have another reason to become a god.
If Du Busi didn't return, Du Qianjue would have Jinpeng take him to the Extreme North to have the Ice Emperor sacrifice herself to become his second soul ring. Then he would cultivate until he was twelve, join the Tianhun Royal Academy, and participate in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.
He would then mobilize all titled Douluos of the Ontology Sect to secretly head to Xingluo City. After Xiao Hongchen bid for the Snow Emperor embryo, he would have the titled Douluos intercept and seize it. Finally, he would have the Skydream Iceworm and the Ice Emperor convince the Snow Emperor to become his second martial soul.
If Du Busi died, Du Qianjue would go into complete hiding, adopting caution as his life motto. To resurrect Du Busi, he had to become a god and avoid being killed by Tang San. Without Du Busi, the Ontology Sect wouldn't have the strength to attack Mingde Hall and seize the Snow Emperor embryo.
In his past life, Du Qianjue wasn't very strategic. He lived without plans, just getting by.
But after being inexplicably brought to Douluo Continent, Du Qianjue had to fight for survival. Though he could live comfortably as the young master of the Ontology Sect, he wasn't content with that. His hatred for Tang San from his past life and the expectations placed on him by the planetary consciousness pushed him to fight.
"Power..."
Du Qianjue chuckled coldly, turned, and resumed his cultivation.
Meanwhile, in the sect's main hall, Du Busi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the three large characters of the Ontology Sect above him. His eyes narrowed, and his green pupils gleamed sharply.
Though Du Qianjue hadn't said much, the experienced Du Busi had seen enough. Never underestimate a strong person; they had lived through so much, eating more salt than you had eaten rice.
He noticed Du Qianjue's constant sense of urgency, as if an unknown enemy was pushing him to become stronger. Moreover, Du Qianjue didn't act like a child. Although he occasionally showed childlike innocence, he often displayed maturity beyond his years. If it weren't for the unmistakable soul aura, Du Busi might have suspected that Du Qianjue's body had been taken over.
Reflecting on their experiences in the Star Dou Forest and Du Qianjue's recent words, Du Busi clenched his fist, then slowly relaxed it.
"No matter what, you are my brother's descendant, aren't you? You are genuinely sincere with me, aren't you?" Du Busi smiled and set aside his doubts.
"If that's the case, risking my old life for you is worth it!"
"Sect Master!"
A tall figure appeared behind Du Busi, radiating immense power and unfathomable strength.
Ontology Sect's Jinpeng, level ninety-seven titled Douluo, title: Golden Body!
"Old brother, no need for formalities," Du Busi turned around and spoke gently.
In public, Du Busi always appeared domineering and unyielding, but the Ontology Sect members knew he was always kind to them, treating them as family.
"I have some matters to discuss with you."
"Sect Master, please speak!" Jinpeng's expression turned serious.
"I need to go out for a while..."
