Douluo Continent: My Days in the Tang Sect
Chapter 1636 The Significance of the Spirit Pagoda
Upon hearing this, the Red King's eyes immediately turned fierce, and flames seemed to flicker on the fur around his neck.
"King of Ten Thousand Demons! Shut your foul mouth!"
The Crimson King took a step forward, and the surrounding air immediately became extremely hot.
Faced with the Red King's threat, the Demon King remained unfazed. With a slight tremor, a dark green poisonous gas quietly spread out.
The security team inside the Spirit Pagoda immediately sprang into action.
"Your Majesty the Demon King, this is a neutral zone that was agreed upon. Disputes and provocations are not allowed. Your Majesty the Crimson King, please calm down."
The squad leader was dressed in Shrek Academy's latest two-word battle armor, with three floating cannons hovering behind him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the squad immediately deployed, with two rapid-fire cannons instantly aimed at the Demon King, and each member holding a soul-guided rifle.
Hearing the commotion, an elder of the Sea God Pavilion flew down from the top of the tower. The nine spirit rings floating behind him burst forth with dazzling light, like nine blazing suns, radiating a powerful aura.
The Demon King took a half step back, a frightening smile appearing on his withered face.
"Don't be so tense. I'm just telling this big dog the truth. This is an internal matter for us soul beasts. Are you humans trying to overstep your bounds?"
Old Liu stared at the Demon King, snorted coldly, and with a flick of his sleeve, his aura condensed and pressed down on the Demon King.
"King of Ten Thousand Demons, if you can't understand human language, this old man happens to know a few martial arts moves!"
Faced with the oppressive aura of an elder from the Sea God Pavilion, the Demon King's expression finally turned serious.
Just then, a dark shadow silently rose from the shadows in front of the tower.
"The Soul System is approved by the Lord. Are you questioning the Lord's decision with this action?"
The demon emerged from the shadows with a smile, holding a spherical soul tool in its hand.
Although the Demon King didn't know much about soul tools in the human world, it knew that the demon spirits were at odds with it, and every action and word the latter took could become leverage against it.
So even after being confronted and falsely accused by the demon, it only glared fiercely at the demon before falling silent.
The demon spirit nodded slightly to Elder Liu, who then signaled for the soul contract ceremony to continue.
"Kids, come and line up to register." Old Liu waved to the candidate area.
Team members dressed in matching uniforms jogged in quickly.
They included both the elderly and the young, the oldest being nearly fifty years old, and the youngest being a teenager.
The demon noticed that the characteristics of this group of people were all different.
Some teenagers have hands covered with thick calluses, some elderly people have fair and smooth hands, and some strong men have arms of different sizes.
This also indicates that their range of identities is exceptionally wide.
The demon walked up to the Crimson King, raised its hand and punched it. "Well done, big dog. I'll bring you some dried ham sometime."
The Red King's three heads all grinned, then lowered their heads and affectionately nuzzled the cubs of the clan.
Its movements were very gentle, as if it were afraid of hurting these infants who were born with congenital defects.
Several old mastiffs walked forward, passing by the Crimson King, lowering their heads and whimpering on the ground before heading towards the Spirit Pagoda.
At the start of each spirit-transfer ceremony, the Crimson King would carefully observe the humans willing to form a soul contract. It saw no discontent or other emotions in their eyes, only a strong yearning.
Shrek Academy, in conjunction with the Douluo Alliance, has officially established the Soul Spirit Inspection Division, which is specifically responsible for handling issues arising after the signing of Soul Spirit Contracts. If the human party retaliates, abuses, or forcibly damages the interests of the Soul Spirit after the contract is signed, they will be apprehended and the contract will be forcibly revoked. Similarly, if the Soul Spirit retaliates against the contractor, it will also be subject to the same punishment.
Although there are still many situations that the laws governing souls do not cover, the Crimson King began to believe that the soul system would become better and better, and that one day, when it could no longer break through the Heavenly Tribulation, it might also embark on the path of souls.
Only the lower three levels of the Spirit Pagoda are used to form soul contracts. The few Crimson Flame Demon Hounds brought by the Crimson King alone need to be assigned in a queue.
As the deep chanting rang out, accompanied by the eerie light of the soul array, the demon spirit tilted its head slightly, its gaze falling on the Crimson King.
At this moment, the Crimson King resembled an elder watching his junior get married; to put it more vividly, he was a muscular, strong man biting three handkerchiefs with teary eyes.
Of course, the demon's perspective is somewhat artistically embellished.
The shadow behind it was like an invisible eye, staring in the direction of the Demon King.
The opinions of the Soul Beasts regarding the Soul Spirit system vary greatly.
Beasts like Biji, the Mermaid Queen, and Atai, grateful for Ye Nanxiao and Gu Yue's sincerity, genuinely endorsed the soul-spirit symbiosis model. They fully supported their fellow beasts who were willing to go to the Spirit Pagoda, regardless of their strength or bloodline, as long as it was voluntary.
There are also groups like the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion, which take a neutral stance, neither actively promoting nor hindering the process, but simply letting their subordinate soul beasts choose for themselves. In their view, as long as it does not harm the fundamental interests of the soul beast race, any way out is worth trying.
The rest, like the Demon King, did not agree but dared not openly oppose it. After all, Ye Nanxiao's strength and Gu Yue's prestige made them dare not speak loudly. Most of them ignored it, or even secretly mocked the soul beasts that were moving towards the soul spirit system. Or, for their own benefit, they would deliberately discard some useless things to humans in exchange for profit.
As the only plant-based being among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, the King of Ten Thousand Demons possesses exceptionally keen senses and naturally noticed the demon spirit's clandestine gaze.
It snorted coldly in its heart, cursing "human lackey" under its breath, and then closed its eyes to cultivate.
The communication device hidden in the demon spirit's sleeve vibrated slightly. It took it out and saw that it was Ye Nanxiao's reply.
The surveillance of the Demon King never ceased, and the demon spirits were responsible for relaying all of the Demon King's actions back to him.
Ye Nanxiao smiled slightly at the old demon tree's clever behavior. As long as the old demon tree didn't do anything excessive or violate the bottom line of the Soul Spirit Regulations, he would let it have its way if it liked to take small advantages.
He only replied to the demon with five words, enough to suppress it with a flick of his hand.
The demon spirit glanced at it, then chuckled and put away the communication soul guide with satisfaction.
A scheming and opportunistic person will also become a thorn in the side of other soul beasts. In that case, the demon spirit won't even need to lift a finger; other beasts will deal with the Demon King on their own.
Since the Spirit Pagoda was built, it has attracted much attention from all sides.
At this moment, all eyes were focused on the gate of the Spirit Pagoda, and they witnessed this scene.
A young man who had just ended his soul contract excitedly ran out the door carrying a Crimson Flame Demon Mastiff puppy, lifting the puppy high in his arms, his smile sincere and genuine.
The puppy detached from its body and became a spirit, also escaping the sea of pain and weakness, and laughed so hard that its little eyes were almost invisible.
After cheering for two minutes, the boy ran to within ten meters of the Red King, holding the puppy in his arms. He held the puppy up to the Red King and said, "Senior Red King! Thank you for your permission! I will take good care of Little Red!"
The two heads on either side nudged the head in the middle, whose nose was still wet with snot.
It coughed once and nodded slightly to the boy.
Although those who are currently qualified to obtain a Soul Contract are all people who have passed the character screening.
But Xiong Jun pioneered another path for the soul. (End of Chapter)
