"Those Sea God fellows weren't sanctioned, and the God Realm is in turmoil again because of you." The Asura God's voice rang out.
Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly returned to his room and sat down.
"Senior, what's going on?"
Jiang Chen was puzzled. The Sea God had clearly cheated, how could there still be no consequences?
The Asura God sighed. "During the year the Shrek Seven were advancing, the God of Life was on duty, but her husband, the God of Destruction, took her place.
"The divine artifact at the committee headquarters that monitors the mortal world can record everything that happens, but all the evidence of the Sea God and those fellows lowering the difficulty of the trials and increasing the rewards was completely erased by the God of Destruction.
"As my successor, the footage I provided of the Sea God illegally rescuing Tang San cannot serve as valid evidence.
"Although anyone with eyes can see that the Sea God and the others violated the rules, without evidence, they cannot be convicted."
There was a trace of helplessness and anger in the Asura God's tone.
As the enforcer of the God Realm, he could only watch someone break the rules and be powerless to act. In the endless ages from ancient times until now, he had never experienced this feeling.
Originally, such a matter could have been handled through a committee vote to punish the Sea God and the others, but because of Jiang Chen, the matter had stirred up the God Realm once more.
More than eighty percent of the gods supported the Sea God. Tang San's actions this time as the Sea God's successor had not violated the previous agreement.
The Sea God and the others had not personally intervened; they had merely let their successors act against Jiang Chen.
The gods of the God Realm had originally sided with the High Priest and hoped for Jiang Chen's death.
The previous agreement was that if they wished to personally make a move against Jiang Chen, they had to wait until Jiang Chen ascended to the God Realm.
But now, they could use their successors to strangle Jiang Chen in advance, and the gods were more than happy to see it.
Therefore, under strong opposition, the plan for a committee vote to pass judgment had to be abandoned.
The result was that those gods, including the Sea God, received not the slightest punishment.
So the Asura God felt a slight sense of guilt toward Jiang Chen.
He had previously promised to stand up for Jiang Chen, yet in the end…
Jiang Chen, however, did not feel particularly angry. Let those fellows jump around a while longer. When he charged onto Sea God Island and dealt with Tang San and the others, he would see what they could still use to fight him.
"Senior, the rewards you're giving me must be substantial, right? Once my strength skyrockets, I'll charge onto Sea God Island and take care of Tang San and the others. If the Sea God dares to make a move, you can wipe him out."
"Alright." The Asura God agreed. "I've long found those fellows unpleasant to the eye. The God of Kindness will soon take over the watch, so the God of Destruction won't have another chance to destroy evidence. When the time comes, if the Sea God dares to act, I'll annihilate him on the spot.
"As for the rewards, they'll certainly satisfy you. Have you reached rank ninety?"
"I reached it two days ago." Jiang Chen's mood was slightly excited.
"Good. First, I'll give you a God-bestowed spirit ring. After you've finished absorbing it, I'll give you the other rewards."
"Another God-bestowed spirit ring?" Jiang Chen was a bit puzzled.
The Asura God said, "A God-bestowed spirit ring is one of the highest-level rewards. Every successor has a chance to obtain one the first time they reach a bottleneck, but only once. In the rewards for passing the trials, no more God-bestowed spirit rings will appear.
"The three Asura Trials you accepted far exceed the difficulty of the nine trials. Giving you another God-bestowed spirit ring is completely within reason."
That was fine… Jiang Chen felt fortunate in his heart that he had not gone out to hunt spirit beasts for a spirit ring.
At rank ninety, the spirit ring he could absorb would definitely exceed five hundred thousand years. Such spirit beasts were not easy to find.
A God-bestowed spirit ring was indeed an excellent reward for him at present.
Just as he was thinking, a point of golden light lit up in his mind, then transformed into surging, boundless energy that poured into his entire body.
Having already absorbed God-bestowed spirit rings twice before, Jiang Chen was experienced and completely calm. He could even continue conversing with the Asura God.
"Senior, what's the highest age limit for a spirit ring?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.
The Asura God replied, "Because the highest cultivation of a spirit beast is one million years, in theory the highest age for a spirit ring is one million years, since you can't find a spirit beast beyond one million years to hunt.
"However, there is one situation that can make your spirit ring exceed one million years, and that is absorbing a God-bestowed spirit ring.
"A God-bestowed spirit ring is condensed from a god's divine power. In essence it surpasses a one-million-year spirit ring, but humans who can absorb a God-bestowed spirit ring beyond one million years are almost nonexistent."
Not to mention exceeding one million years, most spirit masters at rank ninety, if they absorbed a God-bestowed spirit ring, would be doing quite well to reach one hundred thousand years.
Jiang Chen understood in his heart and set a goal for his absorption of the spirit ring this time.
Just then, a plump and graceful figure pushed the door open and entered.
Bibi Dong, wearing thin sleepwear, had just coaxed her granddaughter to sleep when she sensed an unusual energy fluctuation.
Since her residence was very close to Jiang Chen's, she rushed over at once.
Entering Jiang Chen's room and seeing him surrounded by powerful energy fluctuations, Bibi Dong was startled.
"Little Chen, what is this…"
"Teacher, Senior Asura God rewarded me with a God-bestowed spirit ring. I'm absorbing it right now." Jiang Chen smiled at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's pretty face was filled with shock. Another God-bestowed spirit ring.
She knew that the Asura God had already given Jiang Chen one before.
She did not dare speak further and disturb him, and simply sat down to the side.
Suddenly, she sensed something.
Outside, Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others had already arrived outside the sleeping chambers. The fluctuations from Jiang Chen's spirit ring absorption had alarmed them.
"The Holy Son is breaking through. It has nothing to do with you. All of you go back." Bibi Dong did not go out; she directly transmitted her voice to Chrysanthemum Douluo.
The several elders withdrew.
Bibi Dong continued to watch Jiang Chen intently, her eyes full of appreciation and expectation.
Jiang Chen's previous spirit rings had all reached five hundred thousand years. Just how far could this ninth spirit ring go?
The Asura God's voice quietly sounded in Jiang Chen's mind: "Jiang Chen, do you think your teacher is beautiful?"
Jiang Chen did not need to think and answered immediately: "On the Douluo Continent, it would be hard to find anyone more beautiful than my teacher."
Although Qian Renxue's appearance was not inferior to Bibi Dong's, in terms of temperament, the current Qian Renxue still fell a bit short of Bibi Dong.
"Senior, why are you asking this?" Jiang Chen was puzzled.
The Asura God said, "Bibi Dong is a pitiful person. There are many things even she herself does not know. If that day truly comes, I wonder whether she will collapse."
"Senior, what do you mean?" Jiang Chen suddenly grew tense.
"Nothing. You'll know when the time is right for you to know. For now, focus on absorbing your spirit ring properly."
Jiang Chen grew anxious in his heart and called out several more times, but the Asura God no longer spoke.
From what the Asura God had just said, there were still some secrets about Bibi Dong that no one knew, secrets that could cause her tremendous harm.
How could Jiang Chen, as her disciple, not be anxious?
Unfortunately, the Asura God seemed determined not to tell him.
His anxiety caused his own aura to begin fluctuating unstably.
Bibi Dong, who was carefully observing from the side, was startled and hurriedly said, "Little Chen, hold on!"
Bibi Dong's voice flowed like a clear spring through Jiang Chen's heart, immediately calming his restless mind.
He dared not divert his attention any longer and concentrated fully on absorbing the spirit ring.
At this moment, the degree of his absorption had already far exceeded five hundred thousand years.
Another half hour passed. Above the eight spirit rings on Jiang Chen's body, a ring had already appeared, a faintly golden ring.
The absorption of the spirit ring had not yet stopped. That terrifying energy fluctuation not only acted upon him but also surged outward.
Bibi Dong had already stood up and was releasing her spirit power with all her might, blocking the spread of that terrifying energy fluctuation.
If the energy fluctuation on Jiang Chen's body erupted, it would probably raze this small building to the ground.
Under the collision of energies, the temperature in the room rose sharply.
Bibi Dong's delicate brows furrowed. Bean-sized beads of sweat continuously slid down her cheeks and plunged into the deep, secluded valley.
This energy fluctuation was far too terrifying. She had never seen anyone absorb a spirit ring with such an effect.
Gradually, the ninth spirit ring on Jiang Chen's body began to take shape, completely transforming into a dazzling gold.
Bibi Dong's pretty face was pale. The spirit power in her body was nearly exhausted.
Finally, the energy fluctuation began to weaken and rapidly disappeared. In just a few breaths, the room returned to calm.
Jiang Chen opened his eyes. He had just wanted to share his joy with Bibi Dong when he saw her completely soaked through.
