Douluo Dalu: The Frozen Throne

Chapter 240: Golden Tree Moon, the Changes in the Star Forest

Shu Yan was silent for a moment, then said word by word:
"At a time like this, your compassion can easily lead you to an irretrievable situation. I can tell you directly that at a time like this, even the slightest disturbance can trigger a huge disaster. Your Nine Treasures Glazed Sect is already in a critical situation. At a time like this, do you still need to consider the so-called common origin?"

Ning Tian looked dazed, then slowly lowered his head.

"I understand this. I will discuss this with my mother and the others later. If it really doesn't work... I will do as you say."

Shu Yan nodded, not intending to say anything more. He waved his hand and said:

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

"Xing Luo welcomes the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect to join us. I will inform all parties in Xing Luo after I return. After your sect completes the transfer, we will arrange a residence for you and other needs."

Ning Tian raised his head and looked at Shu Yan in silence for a moment. When Shu Yan turned around and prepared to leave, he spoke again:
"I have one last question."

Shu Yan turned around and saw the girl's serious and complicated expression.

"Xingluo, will he become the next Sun and Moon?"

In the darkness of the night, the girl's voice was very soft, but it reached Shu Yan's ears clearly.

Shu Yan paused for a moment, then turned his head slightly and said softly:

"The mainland will surely be unified. This cannot be changed by any country or force. Not even God has the right to change it."

After saying this, Shu Yan's figure disappeared into the hazy night.

The surface of Poseidon Lake was rippling, just like Ning Tian's violently beating heart. After coming to his senses, Ning Tian smiled bitterly, and then felt relieved.

As the heir of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, she was very good at judging people. She had to admit that Shu Yan was the most special person she had ever met. His words always gave people an inexplicable persuasiveness. Thinking of the news recorded in the intelligence, even though a long time had passed, she couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

Perhaps, Shu Yan will really be the first genius after the Seven Gods to break human limits and become a god?
……

On the second day after arriving at Shrek Academy, Shu Yan received another invitation.

This invitation was personally delivered by Mingfeng Douluo Yan Shaozhe, inviting him and Xu Jiujiu to go to the Sea God Pavilion for a chat.

What is Poseidon Pavilion? It is the most mysterious and supreme place in Shrek Academy with the most powerful people. Normally, outsiders are not allowed to enter. However, Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu were invited to go there, which is both a sign of respect and a test.

However, Shu Yan did not think there was anything wrong. After asking for their opinions for a long time, Shu Yan planted a mark from the world of the undead on the girls. Once a crisis comes, they can immediately activate the mark and escape into the world of the undead. At that time, not to mention the Super Douluo, even the Extreme Douluo will not be able to hurt them at all.

Poseidon Island is very large, and Poseidon Pavilion is located on a small hill in the center of the island.

Because Poseidon Island is located in Poseidon Lake, its vicinity is often shrouded in mist. In addition, due to the special nature of the golden tree itself, it is extremely difficult for outsiders to spy on this place.

Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu flew through layers of mist, and then a huge tree emitting rich light and breath of life appeared in front of them.

The crown of the golden tree is so huge that it gives people a feeling that there is no end in sight.

A faint golden halo enveloped it, and below the tree canopy, on top of the extremely thick trunk of the golden tree, there was a very tall and simple wooden building.

The entire wooden building is carved with a golden tree as its foundation, and above the gate, the three large characters "Poseidon Pavilion" are very conspicuous.

After looking at the golden tree for a long time, he said with a little surprise:
"I've long heard that the golden tree of Shrek Academy is a rare treasure in the entire continent. Now that I see it, it is indeed extraordinary and miraculous."

Shu Yan did not say anything. Although the golden tree was extremely precious, it was still polluted by Tang San and his mother A Yin. The Blue Silver Emperor parasitized on the origin of the golden tree and continuously absorbed the bright life force from the golden tree. The masters of the Sea God Pavilion who merged with the golden tree after their death in the past generations probably also became the nourishment of this person in the end.

but……

From Shu Yan's perspective, this person's strength is actually not that strong, and it can even be said that he is too weak.

How to describe it specifically? The Blue Silver Emperor's strength at this time was roughly between the Ultimate Douluo and the initial god-level strength, and its aura was very unstable, and could even be said to be weak.

But this is easy to understand. The space-time turbulence arrived ahead of schedule in this life, and the God Realm was caught off guard. Now it doesn’t even have time to take care of its affiliated planes. As time goes by, the God Realm will be affected by the space-time turbulence and will gradually break away from its attached planet. In other words, the connection between the plane and the God Realm is gradually weakening until it finally disappears.

In the Douluo plane, if the strength of the gods coming from the divine realm is weaker than the strength of the plane's will, they will be suppressed by the laws of the plane and unable to exert their god-level strength.

The two mythical beasts are the best examples.

Without the help of Tang San in the God Realm, it is almost impossible for Tang Hao to seize the position of the Lord of the Plane. Ah Yin will also be suppressed by the laws of the plane, and her strength will be greatly weakened. It is absolutely impossible for her to seize the golden tree and become the core of life in the Douluo plane.

Tang Hao's situation should be better than A Yin's. His own strength is stronger than A Yin's. But now it is probably not much better. At most, he can maintain strength above the god level under the suppression of the plane laws.

A space-time turbulence caused too many accidents, but for Shu Yan, they were all benefits and no harm.

Just as Shu Yan was thinking, a figure came out from the Sea God Pavilion. It was the Taotie Douluo Xuanzi.

After the routine courtesies, the three of them stepped into the gate of Poseidon Pavilion.

Following Xuanzi, the two walked for a distance in the Poseidon Pavilion and then entered a golden hall.

There were not many people in the hall, and it felt a bit deserted, but Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu's eyes were both attracted by an old man sitting in the first seat. At the same time, the old man also looked over.

Yan Shaozhe on the side stepped forward and introduced:
"This is Master Mu, the head of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy. Perhaps you have heard of Master Mu's name..."

Before Yan Shaozhe finished speaking, Shu Yan spoke up:
"Dragon God Douluo, I have long heard of your great name..."

When Yan Shaozhe heard Shu Yan mention Mr. Mu's title, he was stunned for a moment, as if he did not expect that in this day and age there were still people who knew about the existence of his teacher.

The expressions of the other elders changed slightly. Nowadays, almost no one in the outside world knew that Mr. Mu was still alive. They had some understanding of Shu Yan's background, but they really couldn't imagine where Shu Yan got the news about Mr. Mu.

Moon was also obviously a little surprised. He smiled and said:
"The Xing Luo Empire is really full of talented people this generation. Any one of those little guys who came with you can be trained well and have great responsibilities in the future. Especially you, even I can't see through your true colors." These words were obviously said to Shu Yan.

Xu Jiujiu stood quietly beside Shu Yan without saying a word. The man in front of her was not only the head of the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, but also an Ultimate Douluo. No matter in terms of identity or strength, he was worthy of her respect.

When Mu En said this, the expressions of several people including Yan Shaozhe changed again. They knew the vision of Mu Lao. Even as strong as they were, they were as small as ants in front of Mu Lao, and they had no secrets at all. However, the young man in front of him was so young, but even Mu Lao could not see through his background. How amazing it was.

Shu Yan chuckled and then said:
"Speaking of which, Mr. Mu is related to my great-grandfather. His name is Su Min. I wonder if Mr. Mu can remember it?"

"Su Min..."

Moon murmured, and distant and vague memories surged in his mind. After a while, he chuckled and said:

"You are actually his descendant. Speaking of which, in that era, there were not many people who could keep up with the three of us. Su Min...he was indeed one of the few exceptions. Unfortunately, his personality was too arrogant. After breaking through to the Soul Saint level, he disappeared and there is no news about him since then."

"I thought he had fallen, but I didn't expect that he still had descendants in the world."

Shu Yan sighed, and then said:
"This was arranged by the family. My great-grandfather returned to the family after he achieved Soul Saint status and began to cultivate in seclusion. Unfortunately, he encountered an accident when he was condensing his second soul core, which caused his soul power to riot and damaged his foundation. He passed away within a few years..."

Everyone's expression changed again. Moon was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said:

"Most of my old friends have passed away, and I am also dying. Maybe we can reunite down there soon..."

A trace of worry appeared on Yan Shaozhe's face, and he said:

"Teacher, you..."

Moon waved his hand and interrupted Yan Shaozhe.

"Although I am not without regrets in my life, I have lived up to my family and the academy. Shaozhe, you don't need to say those words anymore."

Yan Shaozhe looked at Moon En with a complicated expression, then responded respectfully.

Moon's gaze shifted to Shu Yan again. After a long moment, he sighed softly and said:

"Some time ago, I went to the Xingluo Empire and witnessed its rapid development in recent years."

"I have to admit that compared to the two countries of Tianhun and Douling, Xingluo has more vitality and potential."

"It can even be said that even the combined strength of the Heavenly Soul and Douluo countries is no match for Xing Luo. The Sun and Moon Empire in the west is eyeing them covetously. The continent will definitely face a catastrophe like the one that happened more than 4,000 years ago in the future. No matter what, Douluo Continent must not be ruled by alien races..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a faint golden light suddenly flashed in Moon's eyes, and his gaze was fixed on Shu Yan and the other man. The old man, who was originally covered with a trace of old age, seemed to have regained his energy and spirit in an instant, like a dormant dragon that suddenly spread its wings and flew into the sky.

"If the continent is destined to be unified by one country, then I hope that country is Xing Luo. Among the three countries of the original continent, only Xing Luo has such hope."

Shu Yan and Xu Jiujiu looked at each other, and then Xu Jiujiu said:
"War is an unavoidable tragedy, but Sun and Moon will never succeed. The unification of the continent is a matter of time, or rather, it will not be too far away."

A complex expression flashed across Moon's eyes, but then he nodded slightly and said:

"The Ultimate Douluo who came to my Shrek Academy before, is he from Xing Luo?"

Shu Yan nodded, and a white light flashed on his body. Then, Xue Di's figure slowly walked out of Shu Yan's body, exuding a strong aura. For a moment, the temperature in the entire Poseidon Pavilion seemed to drop a little.

Xue Di looked around, his eyes stayed on Moon for a moment, and then moved elsewhere.

Her eyes were observing the so-called golden tree.

"Although Sister Xue is an Ultimate Douluo, she is not an ordinary Ultimate Douluo. To be precise, she is a soul beast, a spirit of ice and snow, and the Emperor of the Far North. She is the third-ranked fierce beast on the Continent's Fierce Beast List, the Ice and Snow Lady, the Snow Emperor."

After Shu Yan said this, there was silence in the Poseidon Pavilion for a moment, so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.

Yan Shaozhe looked at Xue Di who was standing less than three meters away from him, swallowed unconsciously, and a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.

The other elders did not dare to move and just stared at Xue Di.

Moon's expression could not help but pause. After a moment, he sat up slightly, his eyes met with Xue Di's, and then he said softly:
"You seem to no longer be a physical body. I do not sense the vitality of a living being in you. Rather, your body seems to be a special body formed by the condensation of spiritual energy."

Xue Di nodded slightly, and then said:
"I am Shu Yan's soul, and also the ninth soul ring of his first martial soul."

"Soul?"

This was the first time that everyone at Shrek heard this unfamiliar word.

"To put it simply, a soul spirit is another form of existence of a soul beast. It can allow the soul beast to merge with the soul master without killing it and provide the soul master with multiple soul rings."

"For example, Sister Xue's cultivation before she became a soul spirit was 730,000 years. After she became a soul spirit, she became the most powerful beast soul spirit, able to provide a soul master with up to six beast soul rings."

Shu Yan was too lazy to explain anything in detail and just briefly described the existence and significance of souls.

Everyone in the Poseidon Pavilion was in shock and thought. After a moment of silence, Moon said:
"I can sense that the existence of this so-called soul is very strange, and I can probably guess that there are other strange and mysterious things behind it."

"But if this so-called soul is really like what you said later, can ordinary soul masters possess souls? Can souls replace the traditional method of hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings?"

Before Shu Yan could speak, a strange energy fluctuation suddenly came from the Star Dou Forest in the distance, followed by a terrifying feeling of suffocation.

The originally bright sky had been invaded by dark clouds coming from afar. The lush branches and leaves of the golden tree were swaying continuously, and the entire sky seemed to be twisting. It was the space that was changing and breaking, as if some great terror was about to break through the space and descend...
