Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 279: The Plan Commences

Echoes of Xue Linglong's teasing laughter reverberated in his mind. Du Qianjue brushed off the snowflakes clinging to his coat and retrieved a flask of fruit wine he had snatched from Saint Xing. He downed it in one go, feeling the bitter liquid sting his heart.

Gazing at the empty bottle in his hand, he grimaced. "This indulgence has left me so haggard…" With a sudden motion, he hurled the empty bottle into the snow. "From this day forth, no more drinking!"

...He almost forgot, fruit wine is sweet.

Rubbing his eyes to ease their fatigue, Du Qianjue proceeded with Xu Tianran's soul to the deepest part of the Snow Emperor's Palace. Along the way, he encountered numerous soul beasts within the palace, all of them boasting at least fifty thousand years of cultivation. Beasts below that age didn't even qualify to enter.

After the Snow Emperor's Palace was established, Xue Linglong declared it the imperial palace of the Northern Ice Fields, open to all soul beasts of the north who wished to pay homage to her—provided they were ancient enough and wise enough to dare such an audience.

The deepest parts of the Snow Emperor's Palace, accessible only to Xue Linglong and Du Qianjue, were particularly exclusive. It was here that Xue Linglong had thoroughly rewarded Du Qianjue the previous night.

"Teacher, let's begin," Du Qianjue said, tossing the icy ball of Xu Tianran's soul casually as he smiled.

Electrolux appeared silently, nodding at Du Qianjue, "Alright, but I'll need your help. Transforming a soul and a soul beast into a soul ring touches upon the fundamental laws of this world."

"I'll need you to use your god-level soul rings to convert a massive amount of soul power into divine power, which is necessary to manipulate these laws. After all, I lack a physical body, and doing this alone is strenuous and prone to failure."

Electrolux method resembled the divine soul ring process. Theoretically, it's similar, where the divine soul ring's energy is composed of spirit energy and faith power. After constructing a soul ring framework with divine consciousness, either type of energy, or a mix of both, completes the divine soul ring.

This was their theoretical operation plan. Neither Du Qianjue nor Electrolux had seen a real divine soul ring; they were venturing based on theory alone.

Electrolux had thoroughly researched the soul rings on Du Qianjue. They concluded that the natural law produces soul rings from soul beasts, containing fragments of the beasts' souls and power, shaped by these laws.

A human soul could also be crafted into a soul ring, but it required divine power to bend the rules!

Concentrating divine power was simple enough for those like Du Qianjue. Ordinary Limit Douluos like Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui couldn't manage it due to lack of means. However, Xuan Zi and Mu En could use the power of the Golden Tree to compress their soul power into Sea God's divine power, manifesting Sea God's Light, with the Golden Tree acting as an external device.

Du Qianjue could do the same with the Ice Fire Dragon King God Ring, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger God Ring, and the Golden Tree God Ring, all aiding in this endeavor.

Creating a synthetic soul ring wasn't easy.

"Alright, let's get this plan started!" Electrolux chuckled, taking Xu Tianran's soul from Du Qianjue.

A marvelous material!

A gray soul ring adorned with complex golden patterns appeared around Electrolux, and his aura surged dramatically. His presence seemed contradictory—deathly yet divine, deeply dark yet seemingly illuminated with endless light.

The Death Saint God was making his move.

" Du Qianjue, now!" Electrolux called.

Du Qianjue nodded, his Chaos Dragon King soul instantly merging with him. His green-gold soul ring, under his command, detached from the sequence and shrank to wrap around his wrist like a bracelet.

"Teacher, catch!" Du Qianjue grinned, his Yin-Yang soul core spinning wildly as he channeled a massive amount of soul power into the green-gold soul ring.

The life-filled ring glowed brightly as soul power flooded in, its brilliance peaking so intensely it nearly turned white. The enormous soul power was compressed within the ring, morphing into a powerful green-gold energy radiating immense life force.

This was the divine power of life!

In the Divine Realm's Temple of Life, the Life Goddess massaged her temples in frustration. Lately, the conflicts between her husband, the God of Destruction, and Tang San had escalated fiercely.

Despite being the God of Destruction, it was Tang San's repeated breaches of divine law that had truly infuriated her husband. The Life Goddess was tired of mediating, especially when their battles had threatened to plunge the Divine Realm into chaos.

Just as she was about to let them vent without interference, she sensed something—amidst their tumultuous clashes, a ripple in the divine barriers. She detected a pure surge of life force, linked inherently to her own essence, the Life Tree.

"Is that... Douluo Continent?" she wondered, puzzled by the unexpected connection.
