Ye Lingling nodded, "I know, the specific location is explained in the Divine Examination."
This saves time from searching for the Temple of Life; all that's needed is to focus on condensing the so-called life energy, making the requirements quite lenient.
Lin Chuan suddenly thought of something and instantly became interested.
"By the way, Lingling, does the Temple of Life allow outsiders to enter?"
“This… I don’t know either, but I can ask around,” Ye Lingling said, sinking her consciousness into her mind and trying to communicate.
After a while, a gentle voice rang in the girl's mind.
"can!"
Ye Lingling smiled immediately, "Brother Chuan, the Goddess of Life has given her permission."
"That's wonderful! Please thank the goddess of life for me!"
Lin Chuan's face lit up with joy. Didn't this mean that he could also go to the Temple of Life for free?
Whether or not I participate in the divine test is irrelevant; my main goal is to gain insight into the laws of life.
Chapter 137 Goodwill and Winning Over
over the next few days.
Lin Chuan made a special trip to Sunset Forest to plant the Blue Silver Emperor in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
Although he planned to use the Blue Silver Emperor to refine artifacts, he mainly needed beast souls. The Blue Silver Emperor was very weak at the moment, and who knew if Ah Yin's soul was still there. So it would be better to let it rest for a while before starting.
a few days later.
Led by Shui Lanxin and Dugu Bo, the entire Tianshui team arrived in Tiandou City.
It seemed that someone had been sent to keep a close watch on them beforehand. The moment Lin Chuan and his group arrived at Dugu Bo's residence, a knight in armor came to their door.
"May I ask if you are Dean Shui Lanxin of Tianshui Academy?"
Shui Lanxin walked up to the person and slowly nodded, "I am Shui Lanxin. May I ask who the general is?"
The knight before them exuded a heavy aura and was exceptionally serious, with a faint killing intent emanating from him. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that there were fluctuations of soul power within his body, and his cultivation level was not low.
"I have been specially ordered by His Highness the Crown Prince to invite you all to the palace for a discussion."
The armored knight spoke in a deep voice, explaining his purpose.
"Since it is His Highness the Crown Prince who invited us, then we will trouble you to lead the way, General."
"Dean Shui, you're too kind. Please follow me!"
Lin Chuan and the others did not feel tired after traveling all the way from Tianshui Academy to Tiandou City, and followed the armored knights toward the Tiandou Imperial Palace.
With the identity token symbolizing the Crown Prince's residence, they had no trouble getting there and arrived smoothly.
A figure had been waiting at the entrance of the mansion for quite some time.
Upon seeing Lin Chuan and the others arrive, Xue Qinghe immediately smiled warmly and quickly stepped forward to greet them, "Brother Lin, you've really kept me waiting!"
Upon reaching him, she unexpectedly grabbed Lin Chuan's hand, her entire being radiating affection.
This action startled everyone, including Lin Chuan, who was quite surprised.
"Your Highness, the distinguished guests from Tianshui Academy have arrived."
Xue Qinghe waved his hand casually, "Thank you for your hard work, General Wang, you can go now!"
The armored knight said no more and turned to leave without hesitation.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Many young women bowed slightly to Xue Qinghe, their tone carrying a hint of respect.
"No need for formalities. You have all had a long journey. I hope you will not take offense at my haste in inviting you to the Crown Prince's residence!"
"Brother Xue," Lin Chuan greeted softly.
That is to say, he knew that the Xue Qinghe in front of him was Qian Renxue in disguise. Otherwise, if a grown man were to hold his hand so enthusiastically, he would have already triggered a stress response and attacked.
However, Lin Chuan still managed to break free.
"Brother Lin has truly shone in this elite competition!"
Xue Qinghe did not react much to Lin Chuan's actions, but instead smiled slightly.
Of course, what I felt most in my heart was apprehension.
The Soul Emperor could threaten a Title Douluo, and he also possessed two powerful domains, something even she couldn't do.
Xue Qinghe had to admit that even she couldn't compare to Lin Chuan in terms of talent.
If such a peerless genius cannot be used by her, then he will definitely become an obstacle to the Spirit Hall's unification of the entire continent in the future, which makes Xue Qinghe's mood very complicated at this moment.
Lin Chuan could clearly sense Xue Qinghe's emotional changes and could roughly guess what she was thinking.
If the Spirit Hall wants to unify the continent, the major powers will naturally not be able to remain unaffected. They will either choose the Spirit Hall, choose the two great empires, or... start their own power base.
Frankly speaking, it makes no difference to Lin Chuan who is the ruler.
However, if he had to choose, he might still lean more towards the Spirit Hall, provided that the Pope isn't that crazy woman, Bibi Dong.
So far, Qian Renxue has shown great goodwill and has not attacked Tianshui Academy. If she were to lead the Spirit Hall and unify the Douluo Continent, it would not be unacceptable.
"Brother Xue, you flatter me."
"I'm not flattering you," Xue Qinghe said with a smile and shook his head. "But I still want to congratulate Brother Lin on successfully defeating the Spirit Hall and winning the championship in this Elite Tournament. My father was overjoyed when he heard about this and has been wanting to meet you."
"I have informed my father that I will formally summon all the students of Tianshui Academy to the court tomorrow and reward them. Please rest well in my Crown Prince's residence tonight!"
After speaking, Xue Qinghe waved to the side, and a woman who looked like a butler slowly walked out.
"Take the students from Tianshui Academy down there and settle them in properly. Do not neglect them."
"Yes, ma'am!" The housekeeper bowed slightly, smiling warmly. "Please follow me, gentlemen!"
Shui Lanxin led the members of the Tianshui team and followed the Crown Prince's female steward into the distance. Lin Chuan originally intended to follow as well, but was stopped by Xue Qinghe.
"Brother Lin, if you don't mind, would you like to accompany me for a walk?"
Lin Chuan nodded slightly, then turned to look at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, "You two go down and rest first. I need to talk to Brother Xue about something."
"Okay, Xiao Chuan, come back soon."
Dugu Yan smiled gently and took Ye Lingling's hand, "Lingling, let's go!"
The two girls walked further and further away.
"Brother Lin is truly blessed. Both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling are exceptionally beautiful women, yet Brother Lin is able to enjoy the blessing of having two women. I truly envy him."
Xue Qinghe patted Lin Chuan on the shoulder, his eyes filled with mockery.
"Brother Xue, please don't tease me. You are the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Dou Empire, the future emperor. You will surely have three thousand beauties in your harem in the future. I can't compare to you."
It's just teasing each other, as if anyone can't do that.
Upon hearing this, Xue Qinghe's expression immediately changed. "Brother Lin, please don't say that. Although I am currently the Crown Prince of the Empire, my father is in his prime. It is naturally up to him to decide who inherits the throne. As long as it is for the sake of the Empire, I will have no complaints even if someone else is chosen!"
What a righteous and awe-inspiring posture!
Lin Chuan suppressed the urge to roll his eyes. If he didn't know how much Qian Renxue had done for the position of crown prince, he would have believed it.
“Brother Xue is right. I misspoke. But to put it bluntly, of the two remaining princes, only Brother Xue is the future of the empire. Prince Xue Beng is arrogant and domineering, a disgrace to the royal family. If he were to inherit the throne, it would be a misfortune for the empire.”
Lin Chuan pretended to speak up for Xue Qinghe, but then suddenly changed the subject.
"However, as princes, Brother Xue, you are so wise and virtuous, not only treating people gently but also respecting the virtuous and talented. Why is Prince Xue Beng so dissolute? Both of you received royal education from a young age, yet the difference is so great. Isn't that a bit too strange?"
The speaker meant well, and the listener was enlightened.
Xue Qinghe's eyes narrowed slightly, a strange light flashing within them.
Hearing Lin Chuan say this, Xue Beng did seem a bit off. If he remembered correctly, Xue Beng had gradually become a spoiled brat after the princes suffered a series of accidents.
At the time, I didn't think there was anything wrong, but now that I think about it carefully, it's very abnormal.
So, did the avalanche deliberately hide itself, pretending to be unambitious, in order to survive?
So it seems that the deaths of the princes back then may have already led to suspicions about her.
Xue Qinghe's heart was in turmoil, but he hid it well, smiling and shaking his head gently, "I am usually busy with various political affairs and have indeed neglected to discipline him. This is my fault, and I will discipline him properly in the future!"
Hearing this, Lin Chuan naturally understood that Xue Qinghe had realized what was going on.
"With Brother Xue correcting Prince Xue Beng's bad habit, the empire will surely have another pillar in the future, which is truly a blessing for the empire."
"Hehe, let's not talk about this anymore."
Xue Qinghe shook his head noncommittally and suddenly changed the subject, "Brother Lin, apart from the Spirit Hall winning the championship twice in the previous three Elite Tournaments, even the Star Luo Empire won once. The Empire has never achieved good results. This time, you won the championship representing the Empire. Father is overjoyed."
"Let me tell you a secret, your father values you highly and wants to bestow a title upon you, at least an earl, and an earl with a fiefdom. Few people have achieved this in recent decades. Brother Lin, you will be a prominent figure on the entire continent for the next ten years or so."
For Soul Masters, if they wish, a Soul Sect Master can become an Imperial Viscount.
However, the viscounts here are merely meritorious nobles, without real power or fiefdoms; they are more like a title with little practical use. Nobles who own land, on the other hand, are different.
