Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 493 Sword God Douluo Ji Juechen, Reunited with Rong Nianbing

"Of course we need to clean up, but killing people... even a true god shouldn't go that far, right?" Ye Wuqing swallowed hard, his eyes darting around, and tentatively asked.

“Simply killing won’t solve the problem, but without taking drastic measures, how can we deter some people and change their minds?”

Xu Tianxi said in a calm and indifferent tone, "I've thought about having spirits monitor the attitudes of some people, and having the spirit beast race act as the watchdogs, but that's not very safe."

"If such a person, or their descendants, produce a cultivation genius who climbs to a high position through deception, trickery, and forming cliques, then it will be a disaster for us."

“I’m still here, still alive. Some of the people in your branch who were quick enough to kneel down back then have ended up like this. If I were to ascend to the realm of gods one day, what would this place become?”

"Are the remnants of the former three great empires so hard to eradicate? Are the Soul Masters who are used to being high and mighty forever unable to bow down to the common people? If they don't want to bow down, I can only kill them all until they are all beheaded."

"I can stay here for another eighty or ninety years. At worst, I can wipe out a generation of Soul Masters! Two generations of Soul Masters! If I am forever immersed in the glory of the past, then I will never wake up!"

As Xu Tianxi spoke his last sentence, his tone suddenly became more forceful, sounding to the three of them like thunderclaps and the Grim Reaper raising his eyes.

Ye Wuqing was sweating profusely and almost knelt down in panic. Xu Tianxi emphasized "the lingering poison of the Three Kingdoms," which was an implicit admission that he, as the leader of the branch, had failed in his duties.

Seeing this, Xu Tianxi shook his head, his expression softening a bit. "Of course, unless absolutely necessary, I don't want to fight my way to the Soul Master world's rift, even though it's a small matter for me."

Ye Wuqing stammered in agreement, "Wuqing understands. From now on, I will definitely expel all those corrupt and unethical individuals! Those with wicked intentions who refuse to change will be utterly destroyed!"

"Alright, I'll wait and see. A loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer, but today I've used a heavy hammer on you. I hope it will have a good result."

Xu Tianxi nodded, his gaze falling on Vina and Wang Yan, who were shivering in the corner. "You two have listened for so long, do you have any way to teach me? I am willing to adopt more and more suitable suggestions."

Wang Yan's hands trembled. He pushed up his glasses, wiped his sweat, and said in a trembling voice, "We admire the true god's compassion for the common people. Unfortunately, we are insignificant and powerless. All we can do in the future is to cultivate more and better talents for the empire."

He dared not speak. Wang Yan thought that Xu Tianxi in front of him was a tyrant like a mad lion, unlike any tyrant in the past. He was so powerful that he did not regard any soul master as a human being.

If he gave him some advice and someone with ulterior motives found out later, Wang Yan felt that his whole family could be killed, and he really didn't have any such thoughts.

Vina was much calmer than Wang Yan. Her eyes darted around as she took the initiative to say, "Emperor Academy is the strongest academy in the former Heavenly Soul Realm. If the True God has any attitude that requires us to act, we will do our best."

Xu Tianxi's expression softened, and he nodded, saying, "The Soul Master Academy is the most important starting point for all Soul Master geniuses. It can be a cradle of talent, or it can be a reserve force for villains."
I know you all have some connection with each other, and now I need you to tell me which colleges... still harbor some unresolved delusions.

Vina's expression shifted. "True God, do you mean..."

"The most important matters for the nation are sacrifice and war; the key lies in talent. I cannot allow any academy to still exist with the old mindset. If there is, it must be destroyed."

"As for those surviving reclusive sects, they must either live in seclusion in the deep mountains and forests and never appear in the world again, or if they do appear in the world, they must abide by our rules."

Xu Tianxi smiled faintly: "Perhaps you have heard that I have special methods to force people to tell the truth, but we are old acquaintances, so you'd better not make me use such methods."

For thousands of years, the Soul Masters used by the empire in Douluo Continent have been born into the same category as nobles. This mindset must be completely changed, otherwise, it will cause countless new nobles to transform into a new noble group.

In this way, it is highly likely that the situation will return to the original timeline, where the top Soul Master families control everything. To completely change this, there needs to be a persistent supervisor. Soul Beasts and Soul Spirits are suitable for this responsibility, but this alone is not enough.

To completely annihilate the nobles and soul masters, physical methods are needed first, followed by mental methods. Xu Tianxi felt that physical methods were sufficient, and the next step was to destroy them on a mental level.

Upon hearing Xu Tianxi's words, Vina involuntarily shivered and quickly retorted:
“After the fall of Tianhun Kingdom, I naturally felt regret, but over the years, I have never taught my students the ideas of revenge or restoration.”

This person's words are so terrifying and cold-blooded now; she's really afraid that if he gets angry, he'll send her out for public execution first.

Xu Tianxi nodded: "I believe that. After all, Xueyu and many of your relatives are in Mingdu, and certain people have never stopped monitoring you. If you make any unusual moves, Xueyu will lose her head."

"Once the investigation is complete, please join our Heavenly Court's inspection team. Given your special status, I believe you will make many people understand the consequences."

Vina's beautiful eyes immediately lost control: "..."

No way, you're threatening us like this while asking us to do something? That's too blatant! Are you treating us like evil spirit masters?

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate well, we are willing to accept you as part of the new era; otherwise, you will have no choice but to be placed under house arrest for life," Xu Tianxi said casually.

Wang Yan's lips twitched incessantly as dead memories attacked him.

"Actually, I really wanted to do the Holy Spirit Cult's operation to destroy Shrek Academy back then... but unfortunately they acted too quickly."

Xu Tianxi sighed, a regretful expression on his face, and stared at the two of them, saying, "So now, please give me a chance to make up for my regret. Tell me which guys in all the Soul Master Academies have ulterior motives. You two, tell me separately."

A silver light flew from between their fingers, cutting through space. The world in Vina and Wang Yan's vision changed drastically, and they were trapped in a special space filled with a vast expanse of white mist.

Vina and Wang Yan turned pale. They dared not hesitate or hide anything any longer. They racked their brains and revealed all the despicable elements within the Heavenly Soul Empire who disobeyed the great banner of the Sun Moon Empire.

A moment later, Xu Tianxi looked at the two lists he had copied with his mental power and nodded slightly. Very good, that's right.

"Old Ji, take a look." Xu Tianxi handed the list to Ji Juechen, who had just teleported over from the void.

"Kill them all?" Vina and Wang Yan had just emerged from the special space when a cold-faced man wielding a sword uttered those four words, causing them to faint from fright. This was Ji Juechen, the Sword God Douluo, a level 97 Super Douluo, known for his ability to break through all laws with a single sword strike. He could even fight a Limit Douluo face-to-face. He had once fought Xiong Jun, leaving Xiong Jun in awe.

"Arrest them first. Those with egregious behavior will be broadcast live nationwide, and their entire family will be executed. Those with particularly egregious behavior will have their entire clan wiped out and be expelled from the academy and re-educated." Xu Tianxi said coldly, starting with his entire family.

"Those whose behavior isn't so egregious, seal their soul power and throw them into the industrial area where the common people live. Let them work as miners or laborers repairing river embankments, so they can experience what kind of life the common people have lived for so many years."

Ji Juechen asked in surprise, "You actually gave them a chance to live?"

"Those who can correct their mistakes, keep them; those who can't, execute their entire families. Anyway, they won't outlive me. I have plenty of time to observe the consequences," Xu Tianxi said nonchalantly.

"Understood, I'll prepare to act now."

Ji Juechen nodded and temporarily took Ye Wuqing's place, leading Ye Wuqing to recruit people and get to work.

"Wait a moment, I've taken your battle armor to upgrade it, but it's not finished yet. I'll lend you three sword intents." Xu Tianxi stopped Ji Juechen and pointed to three points on Ji Juechen's extraterrestrial meteorite iron sword.

"Three sword intents? You really underestimate me." Ji Juechen said arrogantly, not believing that anyone in this small Heavenly Soul Empire could threaten him.

"It's always good to be cautious, just in case. If you don't need it, you can refine it yourself." Xu Tianxi smiled slightly, his eyes lowered, revealing a chilling killing intent.

"Now that this matter is settled, I'm going to take a stroll in Xingluo City. See you later."

After saying goodbye, Xu Tianxi's body vanished instantly.

Not long ago, he sensed Rong Nianbing's divine sense descending upon Xingluo City and finding Meng Hongchen wandering there, thus activating one of his own guardian divine senses.

……

Xingluo City, a barbecue restaurant.

Rong Nianbing's divine sense sat opposite Xu Tianxi's guardian divine sense, just like an ordinary person, drinking and eating meat while discussing and commenting on each other.

"This meat is a bit overcooked, there's too much seasoning, and the wine isn't right. The cooking skills are really lacking."

Xu Tianxi, with a gentle smile in his mind, communicated with the other party through telepathy:
"I've long heard that you, Rong Nianbing, are the number one chef in the God Realm, with superb skills. The seven elemental gods have practically turned your house into a restaurant in the God Realm. You truly live up to your reputation."

"That's right, I'm not bragging, but I'm most proud of two things in my life. One is that I've married so many beautiful wives, and the other is my cooking skills."

Perhaps due to the heavy drinking, Rong Nianbing seemed quite excited: "In terms of cooking skills, the so-called God of Food in the God Realm is completely no match for me. His only skill is making sausages; he's no match for anything else."

"Haha, his martial soul is a sausage, it's understandable that you can't compare to him." Xu Tianxi chuckled.

Meng Hongchen sat not far from the two of them, observing their meal out of the corner of her eye. She immediately realized that these two were no different from ordinary people; they both loved to boast after eating too much.

"This god of emotions just talks nonsense and has married eight wives. Tianxi is more devoted than him. Don't learn bad things from him..." Meng Hongchen thought to herself, thinking that Rong Nianbing was like a bad friend, even more hateful than Xiao Hongchen.

"Hehe, to be honest, I've been teaching your wife how to cook lately. You're in for a treat, little brother." Rong Nianbing patted Xu Tianxi's shoulder, revealing a smug smile.

"Haha, then I really have to thank Brother Rong."

Just then, Xu Tianxi's voice came from not far behind Rong Nianbing. The guardian spirit sitting opposite Rong Nianbing clasped its hands in a salute to Rong Nianbing and returned to its original body.

Xu Tianxi himself arrived, and without any hesitation, sat down for a meal and drinks. Then, he isolated himself from the outside world and got down to business.

"Brother Rong, what brings you here? Is there some change in the God Realm that requires us to ascend to the realm ahead of schedule?"

"That's not it. To tell you the truth, brother, when I was cooking in the God Realm, I suddenly felt a sense of unease. I'm afraid someone is trying to scheme against me, but they are not strong enough, so I sensed this sinister malice."

Rong Nianbing became serious, pointed to Meng Hongchen outside, and said in a deep voice, "I am worried that those guys in the shadows will use Xiaomeng as a breakthrough point to scheme against my emotional godhood. After all, I have already passed on the godhood seed."

“If something happens to Xiaomeng, my emotional anchor may be taken over by someone else, and the consequences would be unimaginable.”

"So that's how it is. I never imagined there would be such a villain." Xu Tianxi frowned and tapped his knuckles on the table, making a rhythmic sound.

After a moment, he settled his thoughts. "As long as I am on Douluo Star, no one in the world can touch her, not even several God-Kings at their peak. On the contrary, Brother Rong, your safety and that of your wife are worth being vigilant about... I wonder if the God of Asura has made any moves these days?"

When faced with indecision, first suspect Tang San; the turbulent currents in the God Realm shouldn't arrive so quickly.

Rong Nianbing was a little taken aback by Xu Tianxi's unconventional thinking. Just as he was about to say, "Brother, you're overthinking it," a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.

“He has indeed been making some moves lately, claiming that he has been reckless and made a grave mistake, and welcoming all the gods to seek his cultivation experience, which he will impart to them without reservation,” Rong Nianbing said, stroking his chin.

"Would he really do something like that?"

Xu Tianxi raised an eyebrow, his eyes flickered slightly, and he quickly asked in a soft voice:
"Brother Rong, do you know that when the Asura God was in the lower realm, he had a famous soul bone that could devour the soul power of others to enhance his cultivation? It was called the Eight Spider Spears?"
