Chapter 90: Possessing Bibi Dong Once Again
After Zhu Zhuqing's soul power finally stabilized, Qi Tian withdrew the divided soul that had been possessing her.
Compared to his previous passive possession, the system-rewarded skill [Divine Descent] had one enormous advantage—Qi Tian could activate or cancel it freely.
When he used this skill to possess someone, he could completely control the other party's body if he wished. Yet he could also choose to simply attach without taking over their movements. It was extremely convenient.
The greatest significance of this skill lay in one thing—its cooperation with the divine artifact, the Sea-Calming Pearl, as a lifesaving method.
As long as the target Qi Tian possessed wasn't physically beside him, he could trigger the divine artifact to teleport himself away, escaping danger instantly.
Unless Qi Tian's soul power was completely depleted and he couldn't activate the artifact… Or the enemy's strength was overwhelming enough to kill him in an instant… Otherwise, Qi Tian could always escape alive.
"Zhuqing, how do you feel?" Qi Tian asked.
Zhu Zhuqing sensed the soul power circulating inside her, and excitement welled up in her heart. She stood up and planted a soft kiss on Qi Tian's cheek.
"Thank you. I feel wonderful!"
For the first time, she truly saw hope of breaking through to Title Douluo.
Feeling the tender warmth left on his cheek, Qi Tian's heart trembled slightly, and he couldn't help recalling how she had "repaid his kindness" ahead of time the previous night.
After consuming the Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone Immortal Herb, Zhu Zhuqing's skin had become as delicate as ice and as smooth as jade. She had an ethereal, untouchable beauty—like a fairy who had stepped out from an immortal world.
But in truth, while her exterior was cold, her heart was burning hot. Her lips were just like her inner self—soft, warm, and fiery. Qi Tian found himself deeply fond of her.
"Good. I've reached rank forty as well. In a few days, let's go hunt soul beasts together," Qi Tian said.
At this point, his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing resembled that of Dao companions in a xianxia world.
They supported one another both in cultivation and in daily life; when absorbing soul rings, they could stand guard for each other.
"Mm!" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes revealed anticipation. She had never forgotten that she only had five years left.
After absorbing the immortal herb, neither Qi Tian nor Zhu Zhuqing relaxed their cultivation. They continued training within the forest, sharpening their soul skills.
At the same time, Qi Tian split his attention and sent a possession request to Bibi Dong.
Before long, Bibi Dong accepted. In the next moment, Qi Tian returned to that all-too-familiar body.
He examined the surroundings and was startled. Bibi Dong… was still inside the Crown Prince's Mansion. She was truly too daring.
If Ning Fengzhi arrived with Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo, accompanied by the Heaven Dou military encirclement, even Bibi Dong might not escape unscathed.
"Qi Tian, is that you?" Bibi Dong's voice carried a trembling excitement.
While getting used to her body's sensations, Qi Tian replied, "It's me."
Just then, he suddenly detected something within her—an extremely depraved, sinister, and terrifying power.
'Is this… Rakshasa God power?' Qi Tian was shocked.
'Without Qian Xunji's persecution, she still walked down this path?'
Qi Tian couldn't understand it.
Originally, Bibi Dong accepted the Rakshasa God Trials because she had been forced by Qian Xunji, and her heart gradually fell into darkness.
But now… why had she followed this same path? Was it because of her extreme nature? Or was she inherently depraved?
"Your soul can still possess me… Then why didn't you come find me all these years?"
"You have no idea… how much I've missed you for the past twenty years…" Bibi Dong said, unable to hide the agitation in her voice.
"Bibi Dong, it's not that I didn't want to find you. I only just obtained this ability recently. Only now can my soul reconnect with your body."
Qi Tian's explanation eased Bibi Dong's emotions a little. She didn't want Qi Tian to see the worst sides of herself.
Besides… he had never promised to come find her. She had no grounds to blame him.
"All right, Bibi Dong. We finally get to meet again, so let's not dwell on that."
"Tell me about what you've experienced these past twenty years," Qi Tian said.
Qi Tian wanted to know whether something had happened to Bibi Dong during these twenty years—otherwise, why would she once again obtain the Rakshasa God's inheritance?
"All right, I'll tell you," Bibi Dong said.
After Qian Renxue was born, Bibi Dong followed Qi Tian's instructions and sought help from the elders of Spirit Hall to obtain her eighth soul ring.
After breaking through to Soul Douluo, she returned to the continent to continue tempering herself through training.
It wasn't until she cultivated to rank ninety that Bibi Dong returned to Spirit Hall and requested assistance from the elders in hunting a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
When Qi Tian heard this, he examined her martial soul—and what he sensed made him draw a sharp breath.
"—Hiss—"
On her Death Spider Emperor martial soul, among its nine soul rings, two were actually hundred-thousand-year soul rings.
The eighth soul ring came from a Death Spider Emperor.
The ninth soul ring came from a Purple Winged Spider Emperor.
Compared to her original fate, she was significantly stronger.
But her other martial soul—the Soul-Devouring Demon Spider—was even more terrifying.
Only its third, fourth, fifth, and sixth soul rings were ten-thousand-year rings.
The remaining five rings were all red hundred-thousand-year soul rings—her set was complete, all the way to the ninth soul ring.
Yet her soul power had stalled at rank ninety-eight. It must be another limitation imposed by the Rakshasa God trials.
"Bibi Dong, why didn't you absorb all the hundred-thousand-year soul rings for your second martial soul?" Qi Tian asked.
Even after becoming a god, higher-age soul rings would exert much greater power under divine energy.
"It's not that I didn't want to," Bibi Dong replied. "It was because my cultivation progressed too quickly at that time. I couldn't properly balance my twin martial souls."
"At first, the Death Spider Emperor martial soul was able to suppress the Soul-Devouring Spider martial soul. But once the Soul-Devouring Spider martial soul absorbed two hundred-thousand-year soul rings, the balance shifted—it could no longer be suppressed."
"In that situation, continuing to absorb more hundred-thousand-year soul rings would have harmed me rather than helped."
Qi Tian listened quietly to her recounting.
He also possessed twin martial souls now, but fortunately, his second martial soul was Body Martial Soul. His physique was strong, and compatibility issues didn't exist for him.
"I originally intended to go into seclusion to cultivate, slowly harmonizing the two martial souls, and only then continue absorbing more rings," she said.
"But while I was in seclusion, my teacher was killed by Tang Hao and Tang Xiao working together. I had no choice but to emerge."
"To avenge my teacher, I attacked the Clear Sky Sect."
"But they had many people, strong defenses, and the advantage of terrain. They could form formations, and the Douluo Hall members of Spirit Hall couldn't act openly. It was nearly impossible for me to get revenge."
"Consumed by hatred, I hunted several suitable soul beasts to force a breakthrough."
"Then I attacked the Clear Sky Sect once more and finally drove them into seclusion."
"They killed my teacher, so I killed their father. Vengeance for vengeance!"
"When Tang Tian was at death's door, I vented my hatred by using the Soul-Devouring Spider to absorb his father's cultivation. That was when I obtained the inheritance of a god."
"Under the guidance of divine power, I successfully harmonized my twin martial souls. Now I can switch between them instantly and even use both martial soul domains."
Bibi Dong trusted Qi Tian deeply—so much so that she even revealed the secret of her god inheritance to him.
Qi Tian felt a tinge of guilt. She had told him everything, yet he had hidden so much from her.
Even so, he intended to get to the bottom of it.
"Bibi Dong, whose god's inheritance did you obtain?"
Bibi Dong did not conceal it. "The inheritance of the Rakshasa God. Its divine position lies within the Slaughter City."
