Jiang Chen lay inside the stone coffin for a while. It was ice-cold but quite comfortable.
"I wonder if Xue'er and Senior Sister would hit me if I usually slept in here?" This thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Sigh, since I've broken through to Soul Douluo, I should quickly undergo the tribulation, then find a strong expert to test my combat power."
Jiang Chen climbed out of the coffin, preparing to find Bibi Dong, give her a surprise, and then undergo the tribulation together with her.
As for Qian Renxue and Hu Liena, he planned to tell them after successfully undergoing the tribulation.
He didn't want to make more people worry.
After leaving the cultivation room, the night was already beginning to recede. Although the sun had not yet risen, the eastern sky was faintly turning white.
It should be around five in the morning… Jiang Chen roughly estimated the time.
He did not return to his residence and went straight to Bibi Dong's bedroom.
He knew Bibi Dong always woke up very early, so at this time she should have already stopped resting or cultivating.
"Teacher." Jiang Chen arrived in front of Bibi Dong's door and knocked a few times lightly.
There was no response from inside, and he also did not sense Bibi Dong's life aura within.
Jiang Chen understood in his heart and directly pushed the door open.
At first, he did not use the Eye of Heavenly Punishment to look. What if the teacher happened to be inside… it would be bad if he saw her.
Although Bibi Dong wouldn't know, Jiang Chen would still feel somewhat guilty in his heart.
After entering the room, he indeed did not see Bibi Dong's figure.
The room was empty, and the bed was neatly made, indicating that Bibi Dong had probably not rested here during the night.
Jiang Chen went to the corner of the room, opened the secret chamber entrance, and walked down.
Thinking about it, he hadn't entered Bibi Dong's cultivation secret chamber for several years. The last time he came here seemed to be right after coming out of the Slaughter City.
At that time, the Rakshasa God's divine sense sensed the Killing God Domain in his body and came out to mock the Asura God for a while.
The surrounding aura gradually became somewhat cold. The dark and long path led downward, as if leading to the netherworld hell.
Jiang Chen felt no discomfort at all. The darkness before him was as bright as daylight to him.
He quickly descended. When he was still a few hundred meters from the bottom, he vaguely heard some indescribable sounds.
Bibi Dong's voice was already very pleasant to listen to, but at this moment it carried an even more enchanting charm, instantly making Jiang Chen shiver all over and get goosebumps.
"No good, I came at the wrong time. I didn't expect Teacher to also have times when she thinks about men." Jiang Chen was shocked in his heart and didn't even dare to look downward.
From a few hundred meters away, he could see everything clearly, but he didn't dare to look and immediately turned to leave.
Just from this enchanting voice, he knew what Bibi Dong was doing without needing to see.
For this kind of matter, it was better to pretend he knew nothing and quietly retreat.
"Little Chen, is that you?" Bibi Dong's voice suddenly came up from below.
If one listened carefully, one could still sense a slight panic in her tone.
Jiang Chen, who had just wanted to quietly retreat, suddenly stiffened.
He didn't expect Bibi Dong to have already discovered him and even called out to stop him.
Wouldn't it be better for him to quietly leave and for both of them to pretend they didn't know? Why call him back?
"Teacher, it's me."
"Mm, come down." Bibi Dong's voice rang out again, making Jiang Chen suddenly feel a bit flustered.
"Teacher… is it convenient for you right now…?" He didn't turn around and asked somewhat uneasily.
If it wasn't convenient for Bibi Dong, he would come back later.
"Come down. Teacher was just cultivating." Bibi Dong's voice still sounded somewhat flustered.
Jiang Chen finally turned around and walked downward.
He glanced downward and indeed saw Bibi Dong sitting cross-legged on a prayer mat.
Jiang Chen was immediately puzzled.
"Did I just have an auditory hallucination?" He couldn't help but suspect.
However, after he came down, he immediately noticed something abnormal.
Bibi Dong's face was flushed, her expression somewhat unnatural, and her gaze toward Jiang Chen even carried a slight avoidance.
She directly took out a prayer mat and tossed it to Jiang Chen.
Without needing Bibi Dong's instruction, Jiang Chen sat down in front of her.
Bibi Dong parted her red lips and explained, "It's not what you're imagining. Teacher was cultivating just now."
She had to explain this matter clearly to Jiang Chen, otherwise her image in this disciple's heart would be ruined.
After all, she was a generation's queen; how could she not care about such things.
Seeing Bibi Dong's nervous expression, Jiang Chen suddenly felt it was a bit funny and thought his teacher was somewhat cute.
It was very normal for someone of Teacher's age to have needs; it wasn't anything embarrassing. As a youth from the new era in his previous life, he was quite open-minded about such matters.
"Teacher, I didn't see anything or hear anything just now." Jiang Chen replied.
Bibi Dong immediately glared at him. "If you heard it, you heard it. Teacher was cultivating just now, understand?"
"Uh… Teacher, why is your cultivation so strange?" Jiang Chen felt slightly awkward but couldn't help asking out of curiosity.
Bibi Dong sighed and said, "It's all because of this Rakshasa God inheritance. The difficulty of accepting this inheritance is extremely great. So many years have passed, and it has only finally reached the later stage.
"The further back, the greater the difficulty of the inheritance, full of danger. The Rakshasa God is skilled at manipulating evil thoughts. To control evil thoughts, one must first endure the tempering of evil thoughts oneself before completing the final inheritance.
"And there are countless kinds of evil thoughts, including lust. Just now, Teacher was enduring the tempering of the lustful thoughts."
Jiang Chen showed a surprised expression, and there was also some heartache. "Teacher, you've had it so hard."
Bibi Dong felt Jiang Chen's concern and was immediately very comforted. "You don't need to worry. This kind of test isn't that difficult for me.
"Right, it's not dawn yet, right? What did you come to find me for so early?"
Jiang Chen revealed a smile. "Teacher, I want to give you a surprise."
"What surprise?" Bibi Dong suddenly became interested.
Jiang Chen smiled without speaking, then stood up and released his eight soul rings.
Eight deep red soul rings revolved around Jiang Chen's tall body, gently pulsing rhythmically.
Bibi Dong stood up in shock. Her first thought was red, the red of hundred-thousand-year soul rings. She hadn't even noticed that Jiang Chen had one more soul ring than before.
"You… your soul rings…" Bibi Dong stammered, so shocked she couldn't even speak properly.
She only felt waves of dizziness in her head. The impact Jiang Chen gave her was simply too great.
"My heavens… why have all seven of your soul rings turned red?"
Her breathing quickened, her towering chest rising and falling, unable to calm down from this enormous shock.
Seeing Bibi Dong's shocked appearance, Jiang Chen's smile grew even stronger.
"Teacher, carefully count how many soul rings I have?"
Only then did Bibi Dong start paying attention to the number of soul rings on Jiang Chen's body.
"You broke through to Soul Douluo?" Bibi Dong was both shocked and delighted, her head still somewhat dizzy.
"Teacher, don't be surprised. Sit down and we'll talk slowly."
Jiang Chen helped Bibi Dong sit down, and the two sat facing each other on the prayer mats.
Bibi Dong took several deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.
However, with the lust trial from earlier plus her current excited mood, her pretty face was already flushed crimson.
"Little Chen, quickly tell Teacher how you did it?" Her speech was somewhat rapid, carrying a slight tremor, showing that her heart was still extremely unsettled.
Jiang Chen laughed. "Teacher, have you forgotten about my mysterious inheritance?"
"Your soul ring upgrade was because of that mysterious inheritance?"
When Jiang Chen was young, he had told her he had a mysterious inheritance. Bibi Dong had thought at the time that it was a god-level inheritance.
Jiang Chen nodded. "Every time I pass a heavenly tribulation, this inheritance gives me some rewards. The soul ring upgrade reward was what I obtained when I passed the Soul Saint heavenly tribulation. Now, every one of my soul rings has reached a fifty-thousand-year limit."
"Five hundred thousand years?" Bibi Dong cried out in surprise, her peerlessly beautiful face filled with shock.
"Yes. This eighth soul ring is the god-bestowed soul ring given to me by Senior Asura God. With my strength, I persisted until five hundred thousand years."
Bibi Dong was dazed, murmuring in her mouth, "Just what kind of inheritance could make all seven of your soul rings simultaneously reach five hundred thousand years? Compared to that, my Rakshasa God inheritance is really…"
She wanted to say the Rakshasa God was too stingy, but she immediately reacted and hurriedly stopped herself. The Rakshasa God's divine sense was still inside that statue—who knew if it was awake or asleep.
Jiang Chen, however, had no such concerns and laughed. "Teacher, gods also have strong and weak ones, so the rewards naturally differ."
Bibi Dong nodded. "I was overthinking. Being able to find a single deity's inheritance is already very lucky. I should feel content."
She continued, "You came to find me so urgently because of the tribulation, right?"
She was already very familiar with Jiang Chen's tribulation matters and knew that within three days after breaking through, Jiang Chen had to undergo a tribulation.
"Mm… I haven't told Xue'er and the others that I broke through yet. I'll tell them after successfully undergoing the tribulation."
Bibi Dong looked at Jiang Chen approvingly. "Good. You really shouldn't let them worry about your tribulation matters."
She stood up. "Let's go up. The sooner we go, the sooner we return."
Over these many years, she had watched Jiang Chen undergo several tribulations and already had extremely strong mental endurance. She wasn't too worried about whether Jiang Chen could successfully undergo the tribulation.
The two went up to the bedroom.
"Wait a moment. My body feels sticky. I'll wash up first. It won't take long."
After saying that, Bibi Dong entered the bathroom.
Jiang Chen sat in the room, listening to the sound of rushing water, thinking in his heart about whether, after successfully undergoing the tribulation, he should have a great battle of three hundred rounds with Teacher to test his own combat power.
"Mm… Grandpa Qian Daoliu is also fine. Let's see if I can fight a Limit Douluo by then."
More than ten minutes later, Bibi Dong came out, having already changed into a clean and neat black combat outfit.
Her hair was piled high, revealing her fair and slender neck. Paired with her flawless, exquisite face, even Jiang Chen couldn't help looking a few more times.
Jiang Chen's gaze was extremely pure and carried no other colors, so Bibi Dong didn't mind him secretly glancing at her.
Even she herself sometimes couldn't help looking at Jiang Chen a few more times, purely out of appreciation for beauty, without any other thoughts.
But if Jiang Chen dared to have other intentions, she would definitely teach him a good lesson.
"Let's go." She said, taking the lead toward the direction of the imperial study.
Although she had now become the emperor of the Spirit Empire, there weren't many changes inside the Pope's Palace.
Before entering the study, she instructed a maid to cancel today's meeting.
The empire had just been established, so her affairs were extremely busy. Every day she had to hold an early meeting with the various elders and ministers to handle all kinds of matters.
"Teacher, you're so tired every day. Let Xue'er and me help you." Jiang Chen couldn't help saying.
Bibi Dong worked from early morning to late at night every day and still had to cultivate in the evenings. Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel heartache.
Bibi Dong revealed a smile and patted Jiang Chen's shoulder. "You and Xue'er should spend more time cultivating. Leave the empire's affairs to me. The empire has just been established, so it is indeed a bit busy, but it will slowly get better later."
Jiang Chen nodded and didn't say anything more, but he secretly decided that in the future he would spend some time every day with Qian Renxue coming to Bibi Dong's study to help her share some of the pressure.
The two left through the secret passage beneath the study and appeared inside a waterfall extremely far from Spirit City.
Bibi Dong's wings burst out from her clothes. With a flash of purple light, she shot out.
Jiang Chen showed no changes on his body. He simply released some soul power to block the impact of the water flow and then stepped straight out.
In the high sky outside, Bibi Dong hovered there waiting, her purple wings gently vibrating.
Seeing Jiang Chen walk over to her as if walking on flat ground, although Bibi Dong had long known about this ability of Jiang Chen's, she still couldn't help marveling.
"Teacher really doesn't understand you. This isn't a soul skill or a domain—how can you fly like this?"
This wasn't the first time she had asked this question.
Jiang Chen didn't explain and laughed. "Teacher, how about we have a little competition this time to see who arrives there first?"
Bibi Dong immediately became amused. "You little rascal, you've gotten cocky after breaking through to Soul Douluo? Don't you know that Teacher's speed is top-tier even among Title Douluo?"
Jiang Chen also laughed. "Teacher, don't you know that speed is also my strong point? I might not lose."
"Fine." Bibi Dong agreed readily.
"Then I won't be polite. Haha…" Before Jiang Chen's laughter even faded, he was already a hundred meters away.
"This kid." Bibi Dong smiled helplessly, not angry. She flapped her wings and turned into a purple rainbow chasing after him.
Jiang Chen's body turned into afterimages as he sped through the air, but he was quickly overtaken by Bibi Dong.
In the early morning, as the sun had just risen, two figures chased each other in midair.
Jiang Chen followed closely behind Bibi Dong, feeling somewhat surprised in his heart.
His previous speed had already surpassed many Title Douluo. Now that his cultivation had broken through, he still couldn't catch up to Bibi Dong.
When he increased his speed, Bibi Dong's speed would also increase accordingly.
Aside from using the Thunder Light Wings, his speed had already reached its limit.
In just a short while, with the terrifying speed of the two, they arrived at the destination and stopped on the mountain peak that had already been split much shorter by heavenly tribulations.
Bibi Dong's smooth forehead was slightly beaded with sweat, her breathing slightly rapid. She turned around in surprise to look at Jiang Chen.
"Teacher, you win." Jiang Chen smiled helplessly.
Bibi Dong sighed. "Teacher's speed has almost reached its limit, and you haven't even used your soul bone skill yet. I didn't expect you to grow so fast."
"Even if I used the Thunder Light Wings, I might not necessarily catch up to Teacher."
Bibi Dong gave him a sideways glance. "You didn't use the Thunder Light Wings because you were afraid of surpassing me, right? Don't worry, losing to a freak like you won't discourage me."
Jiang Chen was exposed by Bibi Dong and felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Hurry and adjust your state. Your tribulation time is getting longer and longer. We probably won't get back until the afternoon." Bibi Dong urged.
"Okay." Jiang Chen sat cross-legged and began regulating his breathing.
Half an hour later, he stood up and found that Bibi Dong was using this bit of spare time to cultivate.
"Teacher, I'm ready. You should step back."
