Douluo: Martial Soul Thunder Dragon, Hundred Years of Glory

Chapter 169 Going deep into the dense forest
"The Xingyue Sect has been in seclusion for hundreds of years. Unless they come out to obtain spirit rings like today, the people in the sect generally do not leave the sect."

"Oh? A hidden sect, interesting!"

"What realm is the strongest soul master in your sect?"

"This..." The man in black robe hesitated.

"The hidden sect, the Star Moon Sect. Humph, it sounds mysterious, but in fact, it's just a coward that lacks strength and dares not compete with the outside world." The person who spoke had a bit of disdain and sarcasm in his tone, and it was obvious that he did not buy into the existence of the hidden sect.

"If your sect really had a Titled Douluo-level figure, your sect would no longer be a hidden sect."

Any capable sect would want to occupy a place in the soul master world and demonstrate its strength.

Top-level sects like the Haotian Sect were forced to hide because of the power of the Spirit Hall.

If a sect wants to be strong, resources and disciples are indispensable. Since the secluded sects have already gone into seclusion, both the cultivation resources and the disciples are very limited.

Moreover, in the current century of Douluo Continent, cultivation is still relatively difficult. This can be clearly understood by comparing the prosperity ten thousand years later with the present.

"Senior is able to have such vision. Could it be that you are the one who has been given the title of Your Majesty?" The man in black robe felt bitter in his heart.

Even though the black-robed man said that he was from the hidden sect Star Moon Sect, in fact, their hidden sect has two factions. One is headed by the Star Moon Martial Spirit, and the other is headed by the Star Crown Martial Spirit.

There are two strongest people in the sect, both of them are level 89 Soul Douluo, and they are all strong people belonging to the Xingyue lineage. At present, the Xingyue lineage is suppressing the Xingguan lineage. This is why they call their own hidden sect the Xingyue Sect.

If the Xingguan lineage controlled the power of the sect, then the sect should be called the Xingguan Sect.

Although the sect was secluded and the two branches belonged to the same sect, this imbalance of power did not bring harmony and stability to the sect. On the contrary, due to the lack of external threats, the internal struggles of the sect became more and more intense.

Although the Xingguan lineage was temporarily at a disadvantage, they had never given up their desire and pursuit for power. The open and covert struggles between the two camps made it impossible for the sect to work together to develop the sect.

"Uncle Quan, who are they? They give people the feeling that they are very strong!"

"Don't worry about it. I will take you to get the spirit ring, and then go back quickly!"

The chance encounter with the hidden sect Star Moon Sect was just a small episode on the way of hunting souls. In the current situation, the hidden sect could not make any waves at all. Again, if this hidden sect was really powerful, it would not be hidden!

Dugu Bo and Yun Yibai continued to search for suitable soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Boy, this continent is huge and has a long history. Over the past tens of thousands of years, countless powerful sects have been born, and countless powerful sects have disappeared in the course of time."

"This is a hidden sect, ha! If the hidden sects were really that powerful, the Haotian Sect would not have been forced to retreat because of the Spirit Hall."

"They are just a bunch of petty thieves, enjoying the remaining wealth brought to them by the times and living in a secret place!" "Boy, although I only want to live a stable life with my Yanyan, but since Yanyan has chosen you, I have no choice but to fight with you, but you must protect Yanyan for me."

"I know you won't be like those hidden sects who only seek temporary comfort. I also know that you practice hard, but in this world, only the strong can control the right to speak. In this chaotic era, you don't have much time left, you have to hurry up!"

Dugu Bo rarely took the initiative to talk to Yun Yibai, and Yun Yibai listened patiently. Listening to Dugu Bo's words, Yun Yibai wondered in his heart whether he should try a spirit ring with a higher age. As the saying goes, a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle if you try hard!
Yun Yibai has achieved remarkable results in improving his spiritual power. Through tests, he found that his spiritual power is comparable to that of a high-level soul saint, thanks to the help of precious resources such as the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, the 40,000-year-old growable external soul bone, the mysterious head soul bone fragment, and the immortal product Wangchuanqiushui Dew.

In addition, Yun Yibai also mentioned the improvement of his physical body by the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Vegetable Gum. These two precious herbs are extremely rare in the soul master world. They have two completely different properties, cold and hot, which can greatly enhance the strength and toughness of the soul master's physical body.

With the help of several spirit rings, it is not impossible for him to try spirit rings with higher ages. It was just that he wanted to be safe before, but now he wants to take the risk.

Slowly, Dugu Bo and Yun Yibai have gone deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, they have seen several soul beasts that are more than 50,000 years old.

"We have arrived at the innermost part of the central area. Going further in is the core area. The soul beasts there are all over 70,000 years old!"

Dugu Bo looked at the dense forest ahead, which was greener, taller and deeper, with a dark look in his eyes. His ninth soul ring was the 70,000-year-old soul beast Medusa.

This also means that this is the deepest place in the Star Forest he has ever been to.

“It’s a gathering place for soul beasts that are over 70,000 years old, but there are also soul beasts with higher bloodlines. Going in is a dignity as well as an opportunity. Are you sure you want to choose a soul ring of this age for your sixth soul ring?” Dugu Bo looked at Yun Yibai and asked calmly.

"Things are changing. As you told me, time is running out. If we don't seize every opportunity to become stronger, we may eventually fall into the hands of the Spirit Hall."

……

In the deep and mysterious core area of ​​the Star Forest, there is a little-known secret valley. Here, a huge bear with thick hair slowly opened its sleepy eyes due to hunger after a long sleep. It did not disturb the sleeping bears around it, but got up quietly and prepared to go out to find food.

Under the pressure of their ancestors, these giant bears can only choose to sleep and reproduce to maintain the continuation of their species. Their numbers are already scarce, and their offspring are even rarer.

The most powerful bear is still sleeping underground in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, dividing the cake with some terrifying beings, and there is no time to protect them. In order for the tribe to prosper, this kind of soul beasts seldom move outside, and there are few corresponding traces.

……

"Roar!!!"

A very violent, sharp and penetrating sound came from not far away from Yun Yibai.
