Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 287 Return to the Mainland, Soul Saint Cultivation, Soul Spirit Research Leaked?

Tongtian Bazu crippled the Sea Princess, forcibly seized her spiritual essence and handed it over to Xu Tianxi, intimidating the heroes and causing many sea spirit beasts to dare not move for a time.

With a single palm strike and a single finger strike, he rendered the 600,000-year-old Purple Flood Dragon Clan Chief, Purple Robe Dragon Lord, completely bewildered, and crippled the powerless Sea Princess. His intimidating power was terrifying.

Suddenly, the Sea Lion King and the Old Octopus became much more amiable, and instead coerced the still surviving Demon Soul Great White Shark King and his wife to kneel down and kowtow, swearing to get lost.

The main conflict has changed. To them, the elusive sea god is terrifying, and they will be punished by heaven for their disrespect.

However, if the Heavenly Overlord Ancestor goes mad, they will also suffer greatly. If such a terrifying beast is forced into becoming like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King or the Evil Tiger Whale King, which devours sea spirit beasts, it will be a disaster for many sea spirit beasts.

So time is of the essence, quickly make these sea god's retinues kowtow, and also the high priest of the sea god island.

"High Priest, since you are no match for Di Tian, ​​why do you rely on the Helmet of the Sea God to hold on? Wouldn't it be better to apologize and admit your mistakes sooner to save your life?"

The Sea Lion King shouldered his baggage and switched sides, forcing the High Priest of Poseidon Island to submit.

The High Priest of Poseidon Island remained silent, as he was completely suppressed by Di Tian's Black Dragon Sword, with blood flowing from all seven orifices.

The helmet of Poseidon, which he wore on his head and which was theoretically capable of harnessing the power of the entire ocean, was already riddled with jagged cracks and teetering on the brink of collapse; it was uncertain whether it could ever be repaired.

Xu Tianxi carefully put away the gift from Tongtian Bazu below and gently shook his head.

The owner of this Poseidon Helmet was indeed only good at high-level games. Ten thousand years later, Chen Xinjie, who possessed the spiritual power of the Divine Origin Realm, the cultivation of a quasi-god, and was wearing a four-word battle armor, used it to fight the Demon Emperor to the death, and it shattered.

Today, the High Priest of Poseidon Island, whose overall strength is far inferior to that of his junior Chen Xinjie, used it to fight against Di Tian, ​​and it was shattered into pieces.

This shows that even with a divine weapon, one cannot bridge a true insurmountable gap. Even after Huo Gua achieved the title realm and wielded the Ghost Carving Divine Blade of Melting Ice, he was nearly killed by Zhongli Wu. The same was true for the High Priest of Seagod Island in his battle against Di Tian.

Moreover, Di Tian has not used the Dragon God Claw from the beginning until now; otherwise, with one swipe, this high priest would have been sent to hell long ago.

"Xu Jiawei told me that in their history, the Limit Douluo who wielded the Star God Heavenly Pearl was invincible under the starry sky. Elder Yi told me that it was likely a damaged divine artifact, and he didn't know how powerful it was..."

Reflecting on his own experience after witnessing the failures of the two powerful artifacts, Xu Tianxi couldn't help but recall his promise to Xu Jiawei.

He secretly helped him control the throne of the Sun and Moon, while he himself had to ensure the continuation of the Xu family's lineage, and incidentally, there was also the arranged marriage with Xu Jiujiu.

With his current strength and connections, killing the emperor and seizing the throne wouldn't be too difficult, but as Xu Jiawei said, he should try to avoid getting involved in such matters, as the situation is not easy to stabilize.

Li Erfeng's act of leaving Xuanwu Gate was to reclaim everything that was rightfully his. In reality, it was a coup d'état by the meritorious officials who had helped him conquer the country. However, the head of this group happened to be the emperor's son, who had absolute military power and political prestige.

If the King of Qin doesn't improve, the brothers who fought to conquer the world won't be able to settle the season's results. If the King of Qin doesn't improve, the brothers will become disheartened, and they might even chop off the King of Qin's head and defect to the Eastern Palace.

As for Xu Tianxi... his nominal achievement right now is just leading the team to win the championship. It's true that he set a precedent for a thousand years, but it still falls into the category of promising future. The same goes for leading a team to kill evil soul masters.

Without even a fully functional army, how dare they stage a coup? They haven't even accomplished anything truly momentous, yet they dare to ascend the throne? When the new emperor takes the throne, there won't even be enough names to reward their meritorious officials.

Moreover, the Xuanwu Incident of Li Erfeng had its aftereffects. When the crippled crown prince looked back at history, he found that no crown prince had safely ascended the throne in more than a hundred years. Feeling insecure, he foolishly rebelled against his father.

He is currently only a marquis, and it would be easy for him to make a mess of things if he doesn't take steady steps. He needs to rise step by step to the rank of prince before he can start the Xuanwu Coup. If he tries to deceive the old emperor with his current persona, he, Xu Tianxi, will become like Sima Yi, which would be too disgraceful. It's not like he doesn't have descendants.

Xu Tianxi then let his thoughts wander, considering the priorities for advancement: "Revealing the Soul Spirit would be enough for me to be promoted to Duke, but using the Soul Spirit's merits here would be a waste. I need to think about other paths, other inventions..."

The idea of ​​using one's natal soul tool and forging metal to imbue it with spirituality to enhance its power surged into Xu Tianxi's mind like a gushing spring. His eyes shone brightly as he glanced at Gu Yuena and Gu Zhaoqiu, who resembled twin lotus blossoms from time to time.

Soul beasts would be quite suitable as blacksmiths, right? If we could forge battle armor for them that could enhance their strength, he could probably hire Bear King and the Demon King to guard his home for a long time, right? Perhaps a limited edition Dragon God Claw could also be considered?

While he was considering the possibility of Di Tian helping to guard the house, Tongtian Bazu, Sea Lion King, and Old Octopus had already soared into the sky and entered the battlefield between Di Tian and the High Priest of Seagod Island, attempting to end the battle.

A moment later, as if he had vented his anger enough, Di Tian slashed his sword at the face of the High Priest of Seagod Island, shattering a large piece of the Seagod's helmet and leaving a deep mark on the High Priest's deeply lined old face.

In the next instant, Di Tian lunged forward and delivered a Black Dragon Fist to the High Priest's abdomen, causing the High Priest's body to bend like a shrimp.

After a brutal beating, the High Priest of Seagod Island was knocked to the ground by Di Tian, ​​looking like a dead dog. He had no choice but to publicly swear that he would never again seek trouble with the Tongtian Baxia clan and the Dragon Clan.

"Bang~!"

Di Tian kicked the high priest, who looked like a dead dog, and threw him towards the Sea Lion King.

He carefully sheathed the Black Dragon Sword, put his hands behind his back, and said calmly, "Take this piece of trash and get lost. If he dares to come back, his head will become my meal."

"Yes, yes, the Beast God truly lives up to his name..." The Sea Lion King wiped away a cold sweat and fled with the bloodied High Priest of Sea God Island.

The old octopus bowed to Tongtian Bazu and said, "We'll meet again sometime," before leading his group away. Tongtian Bazu returned to the surface of the sea, clenched his right fist, and raised it high into the air.

"We won!!!"

Instantly, a thunderous cheer erupted from the Tongtian Baxia horde, the beasts roaring and howling, the sound carrying for miles and still resounding.

Xu Tianxi also drew his sword and shouted, his body straightening up after recovering slightly, a strong joy flashing in his eyes.

After this battle, the power that the Clear Sky Sect could muster on the Douluo Continent was far less than before, and the threat from the Seagod Island lineage was also greatly reduced.

"After two years away, I can finally go back..."

……

Despite their victory in the great battle, the Tongtian Baxia clan did not fully immerse themselves in joy and celebration. Instead, they migrated to the deep sea with Tongtian Bazu.

Before leaving, Tongtian Bazu gave Xu Tianxi some farewell gifts, some of his own cultivation insights, a spiritual essence orb from the Sea Princess, and a large quantity of marine-themed products such as coral, gemstones, and luminous pearls.

These things are dispensable to the Tongtian Baxia clan, but for Xu Tianxi, they represent a huge amount of start-up capital.

After a rough calculation, even Xu Tianxi had to marvel at how wealthy the Dragon Clan were, giving away enormous amounts of wealth so easily that he had lost all sense of money.

……

On his way back, Xu Tianxi spent a month digesting what he had gained, and seized the opportunity of his active soul power after the battle to break through the bottleneck and advance to level 70.

Two soul-spirit light arrays rose into the air and began to operate. One array encompassed Xu Tianxi, and the other encompassed Gu Zhaoqiu. At the other end were the long-awaited Tianmeng Ice Silkworm and the composed Bright Dragon King.

As the light array descended, the unprecedented million-year Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Soul Ring and the Light Dragon King Soul Ring rose slowly, helping the two of them advance to the Soul Saint realm, the most important stage in the cultivation of a Soul Master.

……

Five days later, Xu Tianxi and Gu Zhaoqiu awoke one after another on the Soul Guidance Ship. Di Tian smiled slightly, transformed into a giant dragon, and carried the four of them down into the airspace of Douluo Continent.

Before long, the outline of Hanhai City came into view.

Upon disembarking with great enthusiasm, Xu Tianxi first returned to the Xuanming Sect to pay respects to his elders and met Xu Xiaoyun.

Xu Xiaoyun was shocked to see that his great-grandson's cultivation had greatly improved and that he had experienced all sorts of strange and mysterious things. He couldn't help but slap his thigh and feel deep regret.

It's such a shame that the Tongtian Baxia clan didn't participate in this group-up event.

"Our ancestor will cook dinner himself tonight, so our family can have a good get-together."

“Okay, I’ll go with you.”

To make up for the disappointment, Xu Xiaoyun decided to personally cook a family feast, and Xu Tianxi chuckled and offered to help out.

In the bustling kitchen, the grandfather and grandson prepared the food while exchanging ideas about cultivation. Xu Xiaoyun was filled with satisfaction, while Xu Tianxi smiled broadly.

However, when the banquet began, Xu Tianxi was surprised to see Gu Zhaoqiu and Gu Yuena at the table, and even Xue Di had come in.

After the meal was devoured, Xu Tianxi grabbed Gu Zhaoqiu, who was eating with a satisfied expression, and asked, "I'm not surprised you're here, but how did Gu Yuena and Xue Di get here?"

It was supposed to be a family dinner. It's one thing that Gu Zhaoqiu is my god-sister, but what's going on with Gu Yuena and Xue Di?

"Huh? I didn't know. I just told the Lord that there was something delicious to eat, and she came. Look, she can eat even more than I can."

Gu Zhaoqiu pointed to Gu Yuena, who had acted terrifyingly at the dinner party but was now acting as if nothing had happened, and said with an innocent look.

I forgot that she was also a clueless foodie.

Xu Tianxi secretly realized he had miscalculated. Looking at Xue Di again, he thought to himself that he should just let it go, as this person probably didn't know the significance of a family banquet.

Unexpectedly, the Snow Empress approached him, her face serious, and said in a deep voice:
"Tianxi, I've contacted the Sun Moon Empire. News of your soul research is starting to leak."

"what?"
