Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 164 Breakthrough and Goal, Xu Jiujiu's Situation and Returning to One's Origin

The wind blowing from the sea carried a slightly damp and salty smell. The morning sunlight had not yet dispersed the pure clouds. Shu Yan sat cross-legged on a huge rock. He had been sitting here quietly for the past three days, as if he had turned into a stone sculpture. No matter what happened in the outside world, he never moved.

The soul power in his body has once again reached a critical point. He is only one step away from entering the seventy-seventh level. Breaking through to the Soul Douluo level will only take about a year.

Now his cultivation speed and progress far exceeded his original expectations.

What was his original expectation?
He broke through the Soul Saint realm before adulthood, and the Titled Douluo realm before the age of twenty-one. But at the current speed, he would be able to officially become a Soul Douluo when he was sixteen. This speed was at least five times faster than he had expected. In addition, major events occurred frequently during this period, which indirectly interfered with his previous arrangements.

But these are obviously not important anymore. When he becomes a Titled Douluo, he will have no rivals below the Ultimate Douluo realm. When he becomes a Super Douluo, Shu Yan can become the number one soul master in the world without any obstacles. This is his confidence.

However, before imagining these things, Shu Yan still had a big hurdle to overcome.

Because he had condensed his first soul core in advance, when he broke through to the Titled Douluo realm, he had to successfully condense his second soul core before he could enter the Titled Douluo realm.

With his accumulation and vision, it is naturally impossible for him to condense a second soul core with the slightly inferior isotopic resonance method. The conditions required for the yin-yang complementary second soul core are too harsh. What is Shu Yan's current accumulation?

If we talk about it openly, it is of course extremely terrifying, but if we compare his accumulation with that of the Snow Emperor or even Emperor Tian? Then he will naturally be at an absolute disadvantage.

These two had paid a huge price and spent a lot of time to condense the Yin-Yang complementary second soul core. Naturally, he didn't think that he could easily complete the condensation of the Yin-Yang complementary second soul core.

Therefore, before his soul power reaches the peak of Soul Douluo, he needs to do his best to comprehensively strengthen himself, so that he can strive for success and create an opportunity to condense the third soul core later.

……

The powerful soul power transformed into circles of ice-blue ripples that spread out and dispelled the nearby clouds. Standing on the boulder, one could overlook the azure ocean not far away, where there was a golden beach. The scenery looked very beautiful.

Xu Jiujiu flew up with the help of a flying soul guide. She felt the breath of Shu Yan's breakthrough. Shu Yan had not been around for three days. Facing the overly enthusiastic hospitality from Shu Yan's group of elders, she, as a princess of a country, was actually a little overwhelmed.

These days, the gifts she received were almost enough to fill up a small storage soul guide. The key point was that none of these gifts were ordinary items. In the outside world, they were treasures that low- and middle-level soul masters dreamed of. But with her, there were so many that she didn't even know what to do with them, so she simply gave some to Ling Luochen and Dugu Yan.

Shu Yan gently held Xu Jiujiu's hand, and the two sat on a protrusion on the edge of the cliff, watching the clouds in front of them slowly dissipate under the sunlight. After a moment, Shu Yan spoke:
"Has anything big happened in the past two days?"

He tilted his head and thought for a while, then said:

"The Medical Fairy helped Uncle Su dispel the pent-up energy in his heart. His knot in his heart had been partially untied because of your recovery. After receiving the help of the Medical Fairy, he showed signs of a breakthrough. Now he has entered a state of seclusion. He asked me to tell you to remember to go to the ancestral temple to recognize your ancestors and return to your roots under the arrangement of the clan elders."

"Also, there are some unusual energy fluctuations from Auntie's side. Cracks have appeared on the outer shell of the cocoon. It should break soon."

Shu Yan nodded, not surprised. "Too many things happened in just a few days..."

Shu Yan said with some emotion.

Xu Jiujiu leaned on Shu Yan's shoulder, her golden high heels sparkling with dazzling golden light under the sunlight. She gently shook her snow-white slender legs, looking somewhat lazy and intellectual.

"Don't think too much. At least everything that happened was good, wasn't it?"

Shu Yan nodded without comment, then suddenly remembered something and asked:
"How is the degree of integration between the Star Pearl and you?"

After a long and careful experience, he finally spoke:
"Already fused with nearly 50%. I followed your instructions, A Yan, and did not choose to refine it all at once. Instead, I let it slowly merge into my origin, and supplemented it with the life energy of the gold of life. After I have completely merged it, my soul power will be able to break through the Soul Emperor realm."

"By the way, during the slow fusion process with the Xingluo Spirit Pearl, my Xingguan martial soul was baptized by the huge star power, which washed away most of its original defects and disadvantages. I have a hunch that after I obtain the sixth soul core, my martial soul will usher in another evolution."

Shu Yan nodded. Xu Jiujiu's current soul power level is 58, which is not far from the Soul Emperor realm. With the remaining soul power from the Xingluo Spirit Pearl and even the Qiluo Tulip sacrifice, Xu Jiujiu will probably be able to break through to the Soul Emperor realm in less than three months. By then, he will have to find a suitable 100,000-year soul beast for Xu Jiujiu.

Yes, Xu Jiujiu's current physical strength is enough to support her in absorbing a hundred thousand year soul ring when she is at the Soul Emperor realm. Perhaps her spirit is a little weaker, but this problem can be easily solved. Shu Yan is very familiar with hidden cheating.

The two of them continued to sit here for a while, during which Xu Jiujiu took the initiative to ask for a deep kiss with a hint of greed, which made Shu Yan inexplicably angry, but when he thought about where he was now, he temporarily gave up the idea and planned to wait until night to deal with Xu Jiujiu, the little goblin who liked to stir up trouble.

The sun at noon gradually became hotter, but this is a coastal area after all, there is nothing that can be done about it.

But unexpectedly, as soon as they entered the area where the valley was located, the temperature dropped sharply again. There seemed to be a strange ice-attributed metal vein under the valley, which controlled the ice-attributed spiritual energy and even the temperature here to a fairly perfect level.

In fact, it is no wonder that some members of this big family have no idea of ​​coming out into the world at all. Who wouldn’t like such a stable and comfortable life?

The key is to allow the younger generations to receive proper and perfect teaching while living a comfortable and secure life. Almost all children born here, regardless of gender, will possess an ice-attributed martial spirit and even decent innate spirit power. In addition, they will be led by their elders to fight against sea spirit beasts in shallow sea areas since childhood, so they grow up very well and basically will not grow up in the wrong direction.

As soon as Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu entered the village, he was pulled away by an old man with white hair and beard. The old man claimed to be his seventh grandfather. Although he was not a biological brother of Shu Yan's deceased grandfather, they were of the same generation and were Shu Yan's grandfather.

Looking at a group of old men who were laughing with ill intentions, Shu Yan was a little at a loss. He was surrounded by a group of people and went to the ancestral temple to worship his ancestors. Then they solemnly wrote his name on the family tree. Of course, the name left was Su Yan. Shu Yan had nothing to say about this and just let them go.

Finally, a group of old men announced his identity in front of the entire village, and announced that all young talents under the age of 25 in the entire village could come and challenge Shu Yan. Looking at the belligerent eyes of many young men in the crowd below, Shu Yan held his forehead and for a moment he really didn't know whether to be happy or smile bitterly...
