Chapter 2: The Ontology Sect
Many people wonder, what is the strongest martial soul in Douluo Continent?
Many would think it's a god-level martial soul or an ultimate martial soul.
Indeed, god-level and ultimate martial souls are very powerful, like the Sea God and Angel God martial souls, and the various Dragon King-level martial souls of the dragon clan. These martial souls are undeniably strong.
But the strongest, in the end, is oneself.
A god's gift is still a god's gift, and no matter how strong an ultimate beast martial soul is, it is still the power of the martial soul. Only by being strong oneself can one fear nothing.
After arriving in Douluo Continent, he acquired a legitimate identity: the great-grandson of the former Sect Master of the Ontology Sect, Du Bishi—Du Qianjue.
In terms of seniority, he was only one generation younger than Yan Shaozhe, the headmaster of Shrek Academy. However, now, only Du Qianjue and Du Busi remained in their lineage.
This was his request to the planetary consciousness, and the planetary consciousness readily made Du Qianjue's martial soul his own body, his own self.
As a traveler from another world, Du Qianjue had read many novels in his past life, but the only one considered the cornerstone of fantasy was Douluo Continent.
Why?
Because the cultivation system here was too deformed, and the expression of cultivation was far inferior to that of other worlds. In those worlds with strong systems, the foundation of the cultivators' strength was themselves.
Even though he came to this deformed cultivation system, Du Qianjue had to cultivate according to its rules. However, he didn't plan to follow the rules step by step; instead, he intended to pave his own way, relying on his own strength to become a god, not by inheriting a god position.
Defeating Tang San by inheriting a god position wouldn't work.
Tang San himself was a god with dual god positions of the Sea God and the Asura God. Unless Du Qianjue could inherit the god positions of the Life and Destruction God Kings and merge them into the Creator God position, it wouldn't be possible.
But the God of Destruction was solely focused on expanding the God Realm and had no intention of passing on his god position. Naturally, the Goddess of Life, his wife, wouldn't leave her husband to pass on her god position and go wandering.
So, apart from some original opportunities and cheats, Du Qianjue wouldn't have any special advantages and had to rely on himself.
This was exactly what he wanted; it was challenging.
The first six years passed uneventfully, but during these years, Du Busi truly pampered Du Qianjue.
He gave him whatever he wanted, treated him to heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and regularly made him soak in medicinal baths with various precious herbs.
Frankly, in these six years, the money Du Busi spent on Du Qianjue's foundation building alone was astronomical. This was possible only because Du Busi was the Sect Master of the Ontology Sect and possessed an immensely strong cultivation of level ninety-eight.
In the original work, did Huo Yuhao enjoy such treatment?
Even after entering Shrek Academy, Huo Yuhao didn't receive many resources. Yan Shaozhe's promise of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone never materialized.
Those things were obtained through Huo Yuhao's own hard work, so how much credit can Shrek Academy take?
The planetary consciousness made him descend at the same time as Huo Yuhao's birth, meaning that the six-year-old Huo Yuhao was probably still suffering in the Duke's Mansion in Xingluo City, freezing and starving, beaten and scolded by those wicked servants every day.
Fortunately, Du Qianjue was sensible, never complained about hardship or fatigue, and persevered through all the foundational training, medicinal diets, and medicinal baths.
This was why Du Busi never stopped nurturing Du Qianjue over the past six years. If he hadn't been diligent, Du Busi wouldn't have invested so much effort and money, even if he were his brother's descendant.
When Du Qianjue turned six, Du Busi came to his residence.
"Qianjue, you are six years old now. It's time to awaken your martial soul." Du Busi entered Du Qianjue's small courtyard, looking at the handsome and cute Du Qianjue with loving eyes.
When Du Qianjue was born, Du Bishi had died due to an old injury, and his mother died in childbirth. So, in Du Busi's eyes, Du Qianjue was his brother's only offspring and the only descendant of the Du family. Over the past six years, Du Busi had given all his love and care to Du Qianjue.
Du Qianjue had a good impression of this great-uncle. Although Du Busi's portrayal in the original work was domineering and ambiguous in morality, he was undoubtedly a good Sect Master for the Ontology Sect.
"Great-uncle, I understand. Let's begin." Du Qianjue smiled.
Du Busi nodded, took out six black crystal-like stones from his storage soul guide, and arranged them on the ground in a hexagram formation, signaling Du Qianjue to stand in the center.
Standing within the hexagram, Du Qianjue closed his eyes, relaxed his body, and naturally extended his arms.
This was how martial soul awakening was described in the original work, so Du Qianjue followed suit. With a level ninety-eight expert like Du Busi present, what could go wrong?
"Buzz..."
Soft white light gradually intensified as Du Busi injected his soul power. These lights then rushed into Du Qianjue's body. Gradually, the white light condensed into a translucent human figure behind Du Qianjue.
The figure was pale gold, with eyes closed, standing over 1.8 meters tall, and an incredibly calm and handsome face. Upon closer inspection, the figure's appearance was clearly Du Qianjue's grown-up self.
"Indeed..." Du Busi nodded in satisfaction, his eyes full of relief.
Although a child with a skin martial soul awakened in the sect two years ago with significant potential, it couldn't compare to the Du family's original martial soul. This was the strongest form of the ontology martial soul.
The figure slowly merged into Du Qianjue's body. At the moment when the martial soul completely integrated, Du Qianjue suddenly opened his eyes, and a nascent aura burst out.
"Hahaha..." Du Busi laughed joyfully. This aura indicated that Du Qianjue had innate full soul power!
Even though it was expected that with the ontology martial soul and years of medicinal baths, Du Qianjue would have innate full soul power, Du Busi couldn't help but be happy.
"Great-uncle, my martial soul awakening was successful. My martial soul is myself." Du Qianjue couldn't hide his joy. After six years in this world, he was finally ready to wreak havoc.
Hmph hmph, hahaha, Douluo natives, prepare for the arrival of the outer world demon!
With the Ontology Sect as his backing and Du Busi as his support, Du Qianjue could practically monopolize the opportunities in the original work!
And all of this would be the foundation for defeating the God King Tang!
The next target, the Great Star Dou Forest, Skydream Iceworm!
