Two sausages powerful enough to change the balance of the Soul Master world had been created. During this time, Oscar had also stored some, enough for his teacher to take back to share with the others.
Gai Yue and Xue Qingluan spent five hours absorbing and refining the two sausages.
When the two reappeared, they could not hide the excitement on their faces.
As Title Douluo, their martial souls had already undergone evolution and enhancement before. With the help of Oscar's sausages, their gains this time were immense.
The Overload Warp Jade Sausage enhanced physical attributes, while the Bloodline Awakening Amber Sausage awakened the martial soul and improved one's innate talent.
Oscar looked at his teacher and his teacher's wife. They did not hide anything from him.
Gai Yue's Frost Moon Sword martial soul had undergone a second awakening, becoming the Heavenly Frost Sword. Already at level 96, he had now progressed even further, nearing the threshold of level 97.
With his martial soul's evolution, his strength had taken another leap. Combined with his improved physique, the outline of his second soul core had already taken shape.
Xue Qingluan's Mysterious Frost Ice Luan martial soul had evolved directly into the Ice Phoenix, becoming a true top-tier martial soul. Already a level 93 Title Douluo, her soul power had now reached the verge of level 94.
For her, the improvement from her martial soul's evolution was even greater. The Ice Phoenix was one of the most powerful beast-type martial souls,her own disciple, Shui Bing'er, possessed an Ice Phoenix martial soul as well.
Because of the evolution, Xue Qingluan's former title, "Ice Luan," was now changed to "Ice Phoenix."
Since her title had not yet become widely known, changing it was of little consequence.
The couple was deeply impressed by the power of Oscar's soul skills. With these two kinds of sausages alone, even if nothing else was considered, the Sword Sect would undergo a tremendous leap in strength.
Perhaps… before long, everyone in the Sword Sect would be a once-in-a-generation prodigy.
The couple stayed for another half a month. During that time, Oscar used his clones to make a large batch of sausages, giving them samples of all his different types for emergencies.
After Gai Yue and Xue Qingluan departed, Oscar returned to his rigorous cultivation, spending his days either sparring with the Titan Snow Demon King or managing affairs of the Extreme North Alliance.
Time passed quickly.
When Gai Yue returned to Sunset Forest and distributed the sausages among the sect elders, Dugu Yan directly broke through to level 80 with their help. She only needed one more soul ring to advance to Soul Douluo.
After reaching level 80, Dugu Yan, along with elders Yang Wudi, Bai He, Meng Shu, Qin Wenlong, and Long Shihu, went to Star Dou Forest.
When they returned, all the elders had become Title Douluo, each equipped with a hundred-thousand-year soul ring,true peak-level Title Douluo.
Each of their martial souls had also evolved in various ways, increasing their power further still.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as part of the alliance, also received the Overload Warp Jade Sausage and the Bloodline Awakening Amber Sausage. Some were meant for Ning Rongrong, and others for Ning Fengzhi.
In exchange for the Sword Sect's generous gifts, Ning Fengzhi offered many valuable resources, yet none could compare to the value of those sausages.
After taking the Bloodline Awakening Amber Sausage, Ning Fengzhi directly broke through level 80, and his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Ning Fengzhi's talent had already been good. Now, standing at the peak of level 79, the evolution of his martial soul was almost inevitable.
The result filled Ning Fengzhi with indescribable excitement,especially since he knew that this Bloodline Awakening Amber Sausage was Oscar's eighth soul skill.
And what did that mean? It meant it could be mass-produced.
Even if one could only consume it once, this still meant that every member of the sect with a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had a chance to evolve theirs into the Eight Treasure,or even the Nine Treasure,Glazed Tile Pagoda!
Just one Bloodline Awakening Amber Sausage was enough to ensure the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would forever remain the Sword Sect's ally,even willing to fight to the death for their sake.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also had good news to share: Gu Rong had broken through to level 96 and, with the help of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Whip Sausage, had comprehended the power of ultimate space.
Over the years, the sect had been trading for those sausages, and now that Gu Rong had broken through, it was a tremendous blessing.
Aside from Gu Rong, Chen Xin had also broken through to level 97.
In the original story, Chen Xin's breakthrough came after he lost his arm, driven by desperation. But now, things were different.
With Gai Yue as a sword expert to exchange insights with, and the Sword Sect sending him divine-level sausages, his breakthrough was a natural outcome.
With his talent and soul ring configuration, level 97 might have been his limit,but now, with the Bloodline Awakening Amber Sausage, even greater possibilities lay ahead.
Beyond Gu Rong, Chen Xin, and Ning Fengzhi's growth, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had gained three new Title Douluo. With all the new resources, those elders had broken through on the spot.
Ning Fengzhi was so overwhelmed with joy that he almost dropped his composure as sect master, grasping Gai Yue's hand in gratitude.
To the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Sword Sect's gifts were nothing short of divine grace. They now supported the Sword Sect wholeheartedly,this was their true elder brother in arms.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect also received the Overload Warp Jade Sausage and Bloodline Awakening Amber Sausage.
Even the stern Yu Yuanzhen was on the verge of personally calling Oscar his elder brother.
Already at level 96, Yu Yuanzhen's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul evolved into the Thunder Sacred Dragon, and he gained mastery over the power of ultimate lightning.
What the Sword Sect had given them could not be repaid with material wealth. Everyone in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had benefited. With the sausages' effects, three more Title Douluo emerged, multiplying the sect's strength several times over.
Just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the once-proud dragon clan bowed their heads sincerely, acknowledging the Sword Sect as the true leader.
Aside from the now-hidden Clear Sky Sect, the Sword Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect were now the true top three sects.
Their combined strength was such that they now truly stood as equals to the Spirit Hall.
This was something no one had dared to imagine when the Clear Sky Sect once stood at the top.
And now, not only had it happened,their collective strength had multiplied several times over. Led by the Sword Sect, the three great sects were united like never before.
Oscar's decision to do this was, of course, to ensure he had allies. If only the Sword Sect stood against Spirit Hall, it would not be enough.
Now, with the strengthened Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect guarding his flanks, when Oscar called upon them in the future, they would be the first to answer.
This was not arrogance,it was simply fact.
If the Sword Sect could afford to share such resources, one could only imagine its true strength.
And when the elders revealed their tenth hundred-thousand-year soul rings, they would command respect wherever they went.
Spirit Hall, the Worship Hall.
A beautiful figure sat cross-legged in the grand hall. Seven soul rings,two yellow, two purple, two black, and one red,rose and pulsed rhythmically around her. Behind her, two pairs of angelic wings spread wide. Her elegant face was full of joy.
This woman was none other than the widow of the former pope, the current Grand Worship, one of the three peerless Douluo,the Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu's granddaughter, Qian Renxue.
"Oscar… thank you for the pressure you gave me, and for everything you said. Without you, I might never have achieved what I have today."
Feeling the immense surge of power within her, Qian Renxue couldn't help but recall Oscar's fourth soul ring,the ten-thousand-year one she had seen before.
"I wonder how you're doing now… With the Sword Sect's resources, obtaining a hundred-thousand-year soul ring shouldn't be hard."
She stood, a flash of golden light in her eyes. A tall, majestic golden figure appeared above the hall.
Qian Renxue bowed slightly. "Grandfather."
Qian Daoliu looked at the blood-red hundred-thousand-year soul ring shining on her body, smiling with satisfaction. "Xue'er, congratulations on advancing to Soul Sage. With this ten-thousand-year ring, your path forward will be much smoother."
Qian Renxue clenched her fist, then took out a soul bone radiating pure light energy and handed it to him. "I've reached level seventy-four now. Unfortunately, I couldn't absorb the hundred-thousand-year ring left by the Light Unicorn, or I'd be even stronger."
Qian Daoliu accepted the soul bone, his eyes firm. "It doesn't matter. You've already absorbed two Angel God Outfit bones. With this Light Unicorn torso bone, I can replace part of the Angel God Set to help you advance further."
At those words, Qian Renxue froze slightly.
The Angel God Outfit consisted of six soul bones, each at 99,999 years. Once all were absorbed, they evolved into true divine bones.
But absorbing them required both power and talent.
Even with Qian Daoliu's extraordinary gifts, he had only absorbed four.
The remaining two,the head and right arm bones,had originally been reserved for Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji had great talent too, reaching level 95 at sixty years old. But fate had not gone as planned. He failed to live up to Qian Daoliu's hopes, and now all expectations rested on Qian Renxue.
Not yet thirty, she had already become a Soul Sage, absorbed two divine bones, and now possessed a hundred-thousand-year seventh soul ring.
She was the one most likely to inherit the Angel God's position.
Not long ago, the Angel God had descended with a divine decree: Qian Daoliu need not sacrifice himself to begin the final ceremony.
Though he did not understand why, this meant that the Angel God was telling him to act freely,that he no longer needed to die for the cause.
This gave Qian Daoliu freedom. With his level ninety-nine strength, he could live for centuries. Now, his only focus was to help Qian Renxue become a god.
And since his future was no longer doomed, many possibilities opened before him.
He was still somewhat hesitant, but when he looked at Xue'er, he steeled his resolve.
He still had one important task,he needed to replace his divine bones.
The Angel God Outfit could be replaced, but only with soul bones of light or, at minimum, fire attribute.
Spirit Hall had such bones, but aside from this Light Unicorn torso bone, none matched the quality of the divine set.
However, once replaced, Qian Daoliu could absorb the head and right arm bones. Even if his strength fluctuated, it would not drop by much.
After retraining, he would still remain a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo,the invincible Angel Douluo.
But the process would take time, so for now, he could not leave the hall.
Putting the soul bone away, Qian Daoliu spoke gently, "Xue'er, you've seen the divine decree. I plan to emerge from seclusion again. What do you think?"
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up with joy. "Grandfather, are you serious?"
He nodded. "The Heaven Dou Empire is essentially finished. I understand Bibi Dong's plan to establish the Spirit Empire. When the time comes, I will personally erect the Angel God statue and gather the continent's faith to help you ascend."
Qian Renxue was deeply moved. "Grandfather, thank you. But if you do that, what about you and… her?"
Qian Daoliu sighed. "I've turned a blind eye to Bibi Dong's actions for years. But if I'm returning to the world, I can't let her continue down this mad path. Spirit Hall's reputation has fallen to its lowest point,it's time the angels shone again."
Qian Renxue looked at her powerful, confident grandfather, joy filling her heart. "Grandfather, I'll always stand by your side."
Qian Daoliu gazed toward the distant sky. "There are many hidden powers emerging again across the continent,some may hold remnants of ancient gods. Xue'er, the path we walk may lead us to meet many like you."
Qian Renxue raised her brow slightly. "I'm not afraid. Let them come. Little Ao once said, 'When your fists are strong enough, everything you say is right.' What's so great about other god inheritances?"
Qian Daoliu chuckled. "As long as you have that mindset, I'm at ease."
After a pause, he gave her a thoughtful look. "This Little Ao you mentioned,is he the same Oscar from the Soul Master Tournament?"
Qian Renxue hesitated briefly, then nodded. "You know him too, Grandfather?"
Qian Daoliu smiled faintly. "I may stay hidden, but I'm not blind."
"He truly is a rare talent. Even in my youth, I might not have matched him. In the future, he may well become one of your greatest obstacles."
"Never let emotion cloud your judgment. The path to true power is built upon a mountain of corpses. And the path to godhood is even crueler."
"Xue'er, I hope you understand that."
Qian Renxue fell silent. She understood his meaning,and the quiet longing in her own heart.
After a long pause, her gaze grew firm. "I understand, Grandfather. I won't disappoint you."
