Time seemed to slip through Song Qing's fingers like fine sand. One moment he was celebrating his twelfth birthday, and the next, a year had passed, marking his thirteenth year of existence.
'Thirteen years old… time really does fly,' he mused one sunny afternoon while strolling through the Spirit Hall gardens.
This past year had been a whirlwind of growth, both in power and in his relationships. He had spent a considerable amount of time with Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. Rongrong was blossoming into a truly beautiful young woman, her features becoming more refined, and a noticeable plumpness had developed in her chest, something she seemed quite pleased about.
'She's really growing up,' Song Qing thought, a smile touching his lips. He genuinely appreciated her vibrant energy and her growing beauty.
Zhu Zhuqing, already possessing a mature and voluptuous figure, had become even more stunning. Her dark eyes held a captivating allure, and her every movement exuded a quiet sensuality.
'Zhuqing is simply breathtaking,' he thought, admiring her elegant form as she practiced her agility in the training grounds. Her dedication was truly admirable.
He had also continued to foster his connection with his Senior Sister Hu Liena. He often took her out on dates, exploring the bustling streets of Martial Soul City or enjoying the serene beauty of the surrounding countryside. He enjoyed her company immensely, finding her both charming and intelligent.
'Senior Sister Liena is truly a wonderful person,' he thought, recalling their last outing to a local festival. Her laughter was like music to his ears.
His secret relationship with Qian Renxue had also deepened. Under the guise of late-night training sessions, Renxue would often visit his chamber, where she would treat him to intimate and mesmerizing performances, her movements fluid and graceful. She also took on the role of a sensual mentor, teaching him things that made his young face flush with a mixture of embarrassment and excitement.
'Renxue is so… captivating,' he thought, a warmth spreading through him at the memory of their clandestine meetings. Her touch was like fire, yet gentle.
His beloved sisters, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, made their weekly trips to the Spirit Hall. Their visits were always filled with laughter and joy. The three of them would often venture out into Martial Soul City, exploring new shops, trying different foods, and simply enjoying each other's company. These moments of carefree fun were precious to Song Qing.
'Sister Yan and Sister Lingling are the best,' he thought, remembering their last visit when they had insisted on buying him all sorts of sweets. Their affection was unwavering.
And, as promised, Song Qing made his weekly visits to the Great Star Dou Forest. Each trip was a reunion, not only with Xiao Wu but also with the imposing figures of Er Ming and Da Ming. He always ensured that Xiao Wu had ample time to converse with her mother, A'Rou, whose spiritual form he could now maintain effortlessly.
'It's good to see Xiao Wu so happy,' he thought, watching her animated conversations with A'Rou.
Beyond his personal relationships, the recovery of Ah Yin's soul within the Blue Silver Emperor, had progressed remarkably. The combined effects of Song Qing's Primordial Life Domain and the constant healing aura of Verdant Embrace were working wonders. At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Ah Yin would be strong enough to fully recover and transform back into her human form.
'She's getting stronger every week,' Song Qing observed during one of his mental conversations with Ah Yin within the domain.
Ah Yin's relationship with Song Qing had also undergone a significant transformation over the past year. Despite her initial hatred and wariness, knowing his ultimate goal of using her against her own husband to get his ultimate revenge, she had come to understand his reasoning.
She recognized the pain and injustice he sought to rectify. The more she observed his interactions with his close female friends in the herbal garden, witnessing his genuine affection and care for them, the more her animosity towards him faded. She saw him not as a monster, but as a thirteen-year-old boy burdened by a desire for revenge.
Ah Yin had made a silent pact with Song Qing. While she couldn't fully erase the past, she would not betray him. And as an added layer of security, Song Qing's passive ability, Emperor of All Plants, had subtly woven an invisible binding around Ah Yin's spiritual form, a gentle yet firm assurance that she would uphold her word.
During this busy year, Song Qing had also found the opportune moment to absorb the left arm spirit bone he had obtained from the Corrupted Emerald Arbor. The absorption process had been smooth, and he had gained two powerful new abilities.
'Emerald Prison…' he thought, flexing his left arm. 'The ability to instantly create a cage of razor-sharp emerald crystal spikes… incredibly useful for trapping opponents.' He could already envision numerous tactical applications for this ability.
He then focused on the second ability. 'Withering Emerald Touch… upon physical contact, I can channel the Arbor's withering energy… causing rapid decay and weakening of their life force. A truly terrifying ability for close combat.' He knew this would be a valuable asset in future battles.
But the most significant power increase came with the acquisition of his Sixth Soul Ring for his Abyssal Demonic Dragon God Emperor spirit. With the assistance of his teacher, Bibi Dong, and several powerful Titled Douluo from the Spirit Hall, they had tracked down and hunted a formidable Hundred Thousand Year Old spirit beast known as the Great Ironhide Bear King.
Song Qing recalled the encounter vividly. They had located the beast within a dense forest in the Star Luo Empire's territory. The Great Ironhide Bear King was a truly monstrous creature, easily towering over ten meters in height. Its dense, matte black fur appeared almost like polished iron, and thick, bony plates were embedded across its body, providing it with natural armor. Its deep purple eyes glowed with an eerie light, and a faint distortion of the air constantly surrounded it, a clear indication of its control over gravity.
'Its control over gravity was immense,' Song Qing thought, remembering the oppressive force he had felt.
The Great Ironhide Bear King's abilities were indeed primarily centered around manipulating gravity.
The initial confrontation had been intense. Song Qing, eager to test his limits, had faced the colossal bear alone, relying solely on his Abyssal Demonic Dragon God Emperor spirit. The draconic presence had instantly suppressed the bear's bloodline to a significant extent, and unleashing the power of his Draconic Demon Domain had allowed him to not only fight the beast to a standstill but even gain a slight advantage.
'My domain was surprisingly effective against it,' he mused.
However, his still relatively limited soul power had prevented him from truly subduing or killing the mighty beast. It was a grueling battle, and he had pushed himself to his absolute limit.
'I was so close… but my soul power just wasn't enough,' he recalled with a slight grimace.
Sensing his struggle, Bibi Dong and the other Spirit Hall experts had intervened, their immense power holding back the enraged bear king, giving Song Qing the precious time he needed to recover his depleted soul power.
Once he felt his strength returning, Song Qing had launched a final, decisive attack. Channeling all his remaining soul power into his Abyssal Draconic Claw, he had struck the Great Ironhide Bear King with devastating force, finally ending its long reign. He had then absorbed its soul ring, a deep, swirling black that pulsed with immense gravitational energy, as his Sixth Soul Ring for his draconic spirit.
'The power of this soul ring is incredible,' he thought, focusing on the new abilities it had granted him.
'Gravity Dominion… I can now create a localized field of intense gravity around a target or area. The pressure… it would be immense, drastically reducing their movement and agility, making aerial abilities nearly impossible. A perfect way to control the battlefield.'
'Abyssal Gravity Lance… condensing abyssal energy and gravitational force into a piercing lance. The impact… physical damage combined with a localized implosion of gravity… causing internal damage and disrupting their soul power flow. A powerful offensive ability.'
'Ironhide Gravity Shell… enveloping my body in compressed gravitational energy, mimicking the Bear King's tough hide. Significant resistance to physical attacks… and a localized increase in gravity around me, making it harder for opponents to approach and potentially slowing their attacks. A great defensive skill.'
And as the Sixth Soul Ring settled into place, the Soul Ring Resonance passive ability of his Primordial Life Tree Spirit's Fifth Soul Ring had activated once again, increasing the age and potency of all the soul rings of his Abyssal Demonic Dragon God Emperor spirit.
'Let's see the improvements…' he thought, focusing on his draconic spirit's soul rings.
'First Soul Ring… Abyssal Void Dash… from 12,000 years to approximately 28,000 years. The speed and range are noticeably increased. The afterimages are more persistent and can now inflict slight shadow damage. The short-distance teleportation is faster and covers more ground.'
'Second Soul Ring… Abyssal Dragon Wings… from 15,000 years to approximately 32,000 years. The wings are more durable, allowing for faster, more agile flight. The shadow energy is denser, providing better defense.'
'Third Soul Ring… Shadow Dominion… from 23,000 years to approximately 45,000 years. The area is larger, the sensory enhancement is greater, and the weakening effect on opponents is amplified. My control over shadows is also more intricate.'
'Fourth Soul Ring… Shadowmeld… from nearly 50,000 years to approximately 75,000 years. The duration increases, and merging with shadows is even more seamless.'
'Fifth Soul Ring… Abyssal Draconic Claw… from 100,000 years to approximately 125,000 years. The claw is larger and more potent, capable of tearing through stronger defenses. Abyssal Draconic Space Rend creates larger and more unstable spatial rifts. Dragon's Might's pressure is significantly more powerful.'
'Sixth Soul Ring… Frost Spike Barrage… the number of ice spikes has increased, and their piercing power is enhanced. The frostbite is more severe and spreads faster. Abyssal Flame Dragon Breath is hotter, more corrosive, and has a greater range. Frostfire Resistance is significantly stronger even though I am mostly immune due to effects of the Immortal Herbs, and Elemental Adaptation is faster.'
'The power… it's truly astonishing,' Song Qing thought, a sense of immense satisfaction filling him. This past year had been challenging, but the growth he had achieved was undeniable. He was stronger, more experienced, and his future looked brighter than ever.
~~
A few more months passed by in a blur of training, cultivation, and nurturing relationships. Before he knew it, Song Qing felt the familiar breakthrough, his soul power reaching the milestone of level 70.
'Finally, a Soul Sage,' he thought, a quiet sense of accomplishment settling within him. It had been a steady climb, fueled by his dual spirits and the constant influx of resources.
As for the spirit bone from the Great Ironhide Bear King, it was indeed a torso bone, radiating a palpable sense of gravitational force. After careful consideration, Song Qing decided to bestow it upon a Titled Douluo within the Spirit Hall who specialized in offensive skills but lacked significant defensive capabilities.
'This will be perfect for Elder Li,' Song Qing thought. 'The added defense and gravity manipulation will make him an even more formidable opponent.' The Titled Douluo had been overjoyed, profusely thanking the Holy Son for such a precious gift.
In this past year, Song Qing had also kept a close eye on the progress of his close friends. Ning Rongrong, with the aid of numerous spirit bones from the Spirit Hall's seemingly endless treasury – resources readily available to the Holy Son – had reached an impressive soul power of 53.
'Rongrong is progressing so quickly,' he thought, watching her practice her spirit abilities with a radiant smile.
Zhu Zhuqing, equally benefiting from the Spirit Hall's resources, had reached a soul power of 51. Her already formidable speed and agility had increased significantly.
'Zhuqing's power is truly terrifying,' he mused, observing her swift movements during a sparring session.
Qian Renxue, with her innate talent and the divine power of the Seraphim spirit, had soared to a soul power of 78, firmly establishing herself as a powerful Soul Saint at a young age.
'Renxue's progress is astounding,' Song Qing thought, a hint of pride mixed with a touch of something more complex.
His Senior Sister Hu Liena, diligently honing her Nine Tailed Charming Fox spirit, had reached a respectable soul power of 56, her charm and illusionary abilities growing stronger.
'Senior Sister Liena's control over her spirit is becoming increasingly refined,' he noted.
And finally, his dear sisters, Dugu Yan with her potent Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor, and Ye Lingling with her unique Nine Hearts Begonia, had reached soul power levels of 56 and 54 respectively, their individual strengths steadily increasing.
'Yan and Lingling are both becoming quite powerful in their own right,' he thought, pleased with their progress.
The impact of the Immortal Herbs, particularly the Beautiful Silk Tulip, that Song Qing had been diligently supplying to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan over the past year was beginning to manifest in a truly remarkable way.
One by one, members of the clan were starting to awaken the latent potential within their bloodline, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas undergoing a transformation, each facet gaining an additional layer of shimmering light.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was no longer just a legend; it was becoming a reality.
Ning Fengzhi recognizing the immense potential of a connection with the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, had finally approached Pope Bibi Dong with a proposition.
He formally requested consideration for a marriage alliance between Song Qing and his beloved daughter, Ning Rongrong. Naturally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was prepared to offer a substantial dowry, a testament to the value they placed on such a union.
Bibi Dong, being mindful of Song Qing's desires, brought the matter to him. "Qing'er," she said one evening, her expression thoughtful, "Ning Fengzhi has approached me with a marriage proposal between you and his daughter, Ning Rongrong."
Song Qing considered the proposition carefully. He had a genuine affection for Rongrong, and a marriage alliance with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would undoubtedly bring significant benefits to the Spirit Hall.
"Teacher," he replied after a moment, "you can tell him that I will accept this marriage. However," he added, his tone firm, "you must inform Patriarch Ning Fengzhi that I intend to have multiple wives. But assure him that Ning Rongrong will not be a mere concubine; she will be one of my wives, holding a respected position."
Bibi Dong nodded, a knowing smile gracing her lips. She had expected nothing less from her ambitious disciple. She relayed Song Qing's conditions to Ning Fengzhi, who, after a brief moment of contemplation and a rather insistent pestering from his overjoyed daughter, readily agreed to the terms.
The prospect of his daughter marrying the Holy Son and his clan solidifying their connection with the Spirit Hall far outweighed any reservations he might have had about Song Qing having multiple wives.
Not long after the marriage agreement with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, Zhu Zhuqing approached Song Qing, her dark eyes filled with a mixture of determination and a hint of nervousness. "Song Qing," she began, her voice soft but resolute, "I… I also wish to marry you."
Song Qing smiled gently and took her hand. "Zhuqing, you know that I would be honored to have you as my wife."
However, Zhu Zhuqing had more on her mind. "And… and I wish to secure a dowry for you from my family, the Zhu Clan, in the Star Luo Empire."
Song Qing frowned slightly. He was concerned about her returning to the Star Luo Empire, given the political climate and the potential dangers she might face. "Zhuqing, while I appreciate the sentiment, a dowry isn't necessary. In fact, it might be dangerous for you to return there right now. Things might not go well."
But Zhu Zhuqing was insistent. "No, Song Qing. I must go back. And… and I also want to get revenge against my elder sister, Zhu Zhuyan, and her husband, Dai Weisi. They bullied me so much when I was young. I want to fight them both and prove how strong I've become." Her eyes flashed with a fierce determination.
Song Qing looked at her, recognizing the depth of her desire for revenge and her need to reclaim her pride.
He knew that Zhu Zhuqing possessed incredible potential. Her evolved spirit, the Abyssal Phantom Lion, with its enhanced strength, speed, and agility, should indeed be capable of contending with the Spirit Fusion of Zhu Zhuyan and Dai Weisi, the formidable Hell White Tiger.
"Alright, Zhuqing," Song Qing said, his voice filled with understanding. "I agree. You are strong, and your Abyssal Phantom Lion is a powerful spirit. I believe you can face them. However," he added, his gaze serious, "I will accompany you. And if I feel that you are in danger, I will not hesitate to intervene."
A look of relief and gratitude washed over Zhu Zhuqing's face. "Thank you, Song Qing," she whispered, squeezing his hand. "This means the world to me."
"We will depart for the Star Luo Empire next month," Song Qing declared, his mind already strategizing their journey and the potential challenges they might face. The stage was set for their next adventure.
