Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 335 News of the First Generation Purple Emperor Destroying the Heavenly Dragon, Thousand-Refined Metal

After pulling Gu Zhaoqiu away, Xu Tianxi announced in public that he had suddenly felt something and needed to go into seclusion to study a certain top-level soul tool. Xiao Hongchen would temporarily take over as the Lord of the Heavenly Court. He then led Gu Zhaoqiu and three hundred elites from the Xuanming Sect into the underground training ground of the Heavenly Court.

Also moving in were Gu Zhaoqiu's blacksmith workshop and a group of soul masters skilled in blacksmithing.

With multiple barriers set up, the seclusion officially began. Gu Zhaoqiu used the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to forge metal daily, his blood and qi surging and boundless. Xu Tianxi, on the other hand, began to unseal the massive ferocious beast soul power and primal power that the Ice Emperor had sealed in his soul bone, thus increasing his cultivation.

In his secluded meditation room, Xu Tianxi sat cross-legged, his body radiating a chilling aura. A massive phantom of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion materialized behind him, and streams of pure, extremely cold soul power surged into his body along the distinct segments of the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion's tail, causing Xu Tianxi's face to alternate between pale and flushed.

Theoretically, the ultimate ice soul power cannot be absorbed by non-ultimate ice soul masters, but Xu Tianxi is clearly an exception. He can control the temperature and make ultimate water and ultimate ice transform into each other. The stable attribute brought by the Mountain Dragon King far surpasses the single ultimate attribute.

Furthermore, the earth element controlled by the Mountain Dragon King far surpasses that of ordinary ultimate earth, and Xuanwu is a soul beast with both water and earth attributes, making it extremely compatible with him.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Tianxi's Xuanwu Shield mutated into the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon, the Mountain Dragon King would have already condensed a Martial Soul True Body for him.

Even so, with Xu Tianxi's current blood, soul power, and mental strength, he can still make his move gradually even without the help of the Ice Emperor's soul spirit.

The blue and white colors spread across his sharply defined face, then transformed into a rich and pure soul light on his body. Xu Tianxi focused his mind and remained motionless, as if he had become a rock-solid alchemy furnace, refining a precious elixir using water-based alchemy techniques.

In the state of oneness with heaven and man, Xu Tianxi's thoughts spread outwards, drifting far away, as if he could gather the boundless primordial energy of heaven and earth for his own use, transforming it into his own pure cultivation.

In the sea of ​​spirit, the Ice Emperor, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, and the Mountain Dragon King looked on with anticipation. Xu Tianxi's soul bones contained most of the Ice Emperor's soul power and primordial energy from her lifetime, while the Mountain Dragon King had poured all the essence he left behind into his torso bones and set up multiple seals. They were two treasures waiting for him to explore.

Within Dragon Valley, the power of the soul was isolated, so Xu Tianxi could no longer cultivate his soul power. He could only devote himself to studying combat techniques, summarizing what he had learned, and making it his own, so as to achieve a transcendent state of harmony between man and nature. He also followed the Mountain Dragon King to learn the method of using qi and blood, and adapt to the new power.

But things are different now; it's a time of rapid progress.

The Ice Emperor smiled and said, "When I was alive, I was exceptionally powerful. Tianxi only needs to absorb and refine the essence step by step, and she will definitely be able to steadily break through to the Title Douluo level."

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm transformed into human form, raised its head, and looked like a superior: "Over the years I have seen many geniuses, but none of them are as good as the geniuses you have chosen."

The Mountain Dragon King lay in the Sea of ​​Spirit for a moment, then yawned and said, "I think this second soul core is a challenge, though not insignificant. He absorbed a small portion of my essence, so his physical condition should be fine, but he still has a long way to go."

"According to their human cultivation path, the second soul core is an attribute soul core. His attribute type is somewhat complicated. I'll have to find a ferocious beast with the destructive attribute to refine into resources for the seventh soul ring."

"The purple-robed dragon lord I encountered in the ocean a few days ago was quite good. If I kill her, and then I modify her soul rings, she will be the perfect martial soul true body."

The Mountain Dragon King had no qualms about eliminating the Purple-Robed Dragon Lord, a loyal follower of the Sea God. When the Sea God's followers helped oppress the Tongtian Baxia clan, he simply eliminated them; keeping them around was pointless.

Upon hearing this, Tongtian Xiaobaxia also emerged from his spiritual ocean and excitedly said, "I know about the Purple Robe Dragon Lord. My grandfather said she has 600,000 years of cultivation and is a dual-attribute sea spirit beast with both destruction and water attributes. Although the Purple Universe Sea Dragon Clan is a sub-dragon, their strength is generally no less than that of a true dragon."

“Indeed, that is exactly right.” The Mountain Dragon King spoke with a kind expression, treating Tongtian Xiaobaxia like a nephew or junior, and recounted the secrets of the dragon race:
"The Destruction attribute is very special. Its source is the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon that was born with the Dragon God. Because it is the ancestor of all sub-dragons, all dragons with the Destruction attribute are sub-dragons. In other words, all dragons with the Destruction attribute have the bloodline power of the first Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon."

"However, I was quite surprised to hear that there was originally a Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Soul Beast on the Douluo Continent. I guess this place has some connection with the first Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon."

Hyotei asked, "Does Senior mean that the first generation of Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon might have left descendants here?"

The Mountain Dragon King frowned and pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. The Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, a martial spirit, shouldn't exist in humans. I've sensed the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon of that Sun and Moon Prince, and its bloodline is extremely thin."

"Tianxi's Purple Radiance Extinction Dragon bloodline was originally negligible. It was only after he achieved a certain level of cultivation that he used a large amount of resources to stimulate the deep potential of his martial soul and connected it with the Xuanwu bloodline that it was activated."

"I am certain that the ancestors of the Sun and Moon Royal Family were not the incarnation of the Purple Emperor Extinction Dragon. They must have received the blessing of the Dragon Clan to possess this bloodline, probably similar to my and Tianxi's situation."

"If their ancestors were the transformed form of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, given the domineering nature of that clan, it would be impossible for them to let the Sun and Moon Martial Soul overpower their bloodline. They would definitely pass on the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon lineage from generation to generation."

"To pass on the bloodline and transform it into a martial soul for humankind, this is something that an ordinary Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon cannot do; it requires a powerhouse of at least a first-level god."

Tianmeng Bingcan gaped and asked in disbelief, "You mean that the ancestors of the Sun and Moon Royal Family may have entered a secret realm similar to Dragon Valley and received a blessing from a top-tier dragon expert?"

"This is the only explanation I can think of, but as far as I know, ever since the first generation of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon was killed by the Dragon God, the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon clan was immediately suppressed by the Dragon Clan, and almost no first-level gods have appeared since then, let alone have any connection with this Douluo plane. Who is this Dragon Clan that bestowed this blessing..."

The Mountain Dragon King's eyes shifted several times, then suddenly lit up, and he said in a deep voice:
"Let's not think about these things for now. Once Tianxi has achieved a certain level of cultivation, let him have time to look for the relevant collections of the Sun and Moon Royal Family, and then let him travel to some dangerous places on the Sun and Moon Continent."

"If it really is that old guy, then things will get interesting."

Tongtian Xiaobaxia asked, "What do you mean...?"

"It's hard to say for sure right now, but it seems to be the only possibility."

The Mountain Dragon King uttered a cryptic remark, his gaze deep and ethereal, and sighed, "I never imagined that this Douluo Plane would be so attractive to my dragon race. The Silver Dragon King is, the Light Dragon King and I are, and even that guy might very well be..." Time passed unnoticed. After cultivating for a few days, Xu Tianxi went to Gu Zhaoqiu to take over a batch of forged rare metals, and found three hundred elites from the Xuanming Sect to begin crafting battle armor for each of them.

He knew that armor made of a hundred-times-forged metal could not be remelted and reforged into new armor, so he devoted himself to pursuing a thousand-times-forged metal.

then……

"Sis, what's the rhythm of this forging hammer? I want to try being a top blacksmith too."

Xu Tianxi, holding a hundred-forged heavy silver hammer in each hand, changed into a tight-fitting outfit, rolled up his sleeves, and began to unleash the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique on the rare metal black silver on the platform.

With a series of powerful blows, the eighty-one chaotic cloak hammer techniques were completed. After one hundred and sixty-two hammer blows, the dark silver was forged into a hundred-fold metal, but that was all.

Gu Zhaoqiu slapped his forehead, tossed over a small booklet with an antique cover, and said irritably, "You snatched this from those big idiots in the Haotian Sect and gave it to me, take a look yourself."

"Sorry, I forgot."

Xu Tianxi took the book "The Legend of Haotian Divine Craftsmen Through Generations" produced by Haotian Sect, read through its contents, and continued to practice with metal, gradually developing a sense of rhythm.

"Is that all? Becoming a master blacksmith is as easy as having hands, isn't it?"

As a piece of 500-fold forged metal was about to take shape, Xu Tianxi weighed the forging hammer in his hand, his eyes filled with pride. He seemed to see an even higher-level battle armor beckoning to him.

When Tang Wulin became a level 5 blacksmith, it was unknown whether he was a Great Soul Master or a Soul Venerable. His strength was far inferior to what he is now. Now he is a Soul Saint, with abundant blood and qi comparable to a ferocious beast, and his spiritual power is as deep as a prison. What difficulty is there in smashing a thousand times?

Gu Zhaoqiu glanced at him sideways and said quietly, "If it were that simple, I would have succeeded long ago. The kind of thousand-refined metal you want requires the impurities to be completely removed and the spirituality within it to be awakened."

"If you don't have the skill to remove the impurities, no matter how much you smash it, it's all in vain."

Upon hearing this, Xu Tianxi's expression turned serious, and he then seemed to be thinking: "That's right, that makes a lot of sense, it really hits the nail on the head."

Gu Zhaoqiu revealed a "you're teachable" expression and smiled, "So just keep trying, I'll teach you."

"Therefore, we should make good use of various auxiliary tools to detect the impurity status of rare metals. Little brother, I'll help you."

Xu Tianxi activated his storage soul tool, took out a pair of seemingly unremarkable goggles, and handed them to Gu Zhaoqiu:
"These are my Level 7 Soul Guidance Detection Glasses, which I have upgraded twice. They are made with many rare materials, greatly expanding the detection range and geometrically improving the precision. They can see clearly even the smallest details and also have a certain eye protection effect, making them very suitable for this kind of work."

Gu Zhaoqiu's lips twitched slightly. "When did you make this? How come I didn't know?"

As the saying goes, "The nature of a gentleman is not different, but he is good at making use of things." The reason why we humans can continuously progress and improve is because we are good at invention and creation. While improving our own strength, we also need to use all kinds of tools to enhance our power and do things beyond our own capabilities.

Xu Tianxi explained some principles, and then replied, "I stayed in the Hall of Offerings for three months. Together with Brother Tianmeng, we used our spiritual power to engrave almost all the soul guide artifacts recorded in the Hall of Offerings. Now my theoretical knowledge has reached the ninth level, and I am even more outstanding in some aspects."

"Compared to traditional level nine soul masters, the only things I lack are cultivation level and a level nine soul tool I made myself. What's so special about making two pairs of level seven glasses?"

"Come on, put them on quickly to protect your eyes and prevent any accidents."

Without waiting for a reply, he put protective gear on Gu Zhaoqiu's red eyes, which were filled with surprise.

In the sea of ​​spirit, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm stood with its hands behind its back, gazing at the sky with an arrogant expression, as if to say, "Who else is there?"

For three months in the temple, Xu Tianxi didn't treat himself like a human being. He spent his days and nights reading materials and consulting with Kong Deming. He also didn't treat his brother Tianmeng like a human being. Before long, he notified him to work together to engrave the spiritual imprint.

Xu Tianxi now carries the weight of countless pieces of knowledge from the Hall of Worship, and embodies hope and dreams.

Gu Zhaoqiu stared blankly as the man put glasses on her, pursed her red lips, and sighed, "You always manage to come up with something new."

"Just basic operation."

Xu Tianxi said modestly, then turned around and picked up the forging hammer. His powerful mental energy locked onto the trembling dark silver metal. He activated his detection glasses, and the metal texture appeared in full detail before him. The force and angle of the forging hammer were also constructed into a holographic three-dimensional image in his mind, as clear as a physics blueprint from his previous life.

"I'll forge out a mere thousand-refined metal for you!"

Xu Tianxi became furious and slammed a large hammer down, sparks flying everywhere.
