Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 163 Wishes Fulfilled, Immortal Herb Recognizes Master
"...You are the demigod I can see most easily. I need time to recover my past life's power. As payment for the information, I will use the Tang Sect's channels to expand the influence of the Body Strengthening and Bone Enhancement Paste to the maximum."

"This will also benefit you, as it will enhance your ability to deal with the abyss."

Gula's mind worked quickly, and he readily offered a suitable reason.

Anchor of faith.

Zang Xin naturally thought of this possibility. Demigods can sense the power of faith, but no one in the Douluo Continent can use it, and it cannot be retained for long.

Although he wanted to know how to use the power of faith, Zang Xin also knew that even if he learned to use the power of faith, he would not be able to gather faith openly, which would make the Tang Sect a target of everyone. He could only rely on other methods to break through, such as the dimensional advancement that Gula mentioned.

“I can agree on behalf of the Tang Sect, but I would like to know how long it will be before the Sea God returns…”

Zang Xin always felt that Gula knew too much. Even if he was a god, how could he know the sea god's secret plans?

"Yes, at least sixteen years."

Tang Wulin passed the Nine Trials of the Sea God at the age of twenty-five. When Tang San returned, he gave him the position of God of Destruction, making him the God of Destruction. Calculating the time, it was indeed sixteen years.

Zang Xin, however, could not be happy. Sixteen years was not a long time, at least not enough for him to make many adjustments, and his strength could not change significantly, making it difficult to break through.

Not everyone has the talent of Yunming or the Underworld Emperor.

Unfortunately, this step requires a high level of understanding, and it's difficult for others to help him.

Zang Xin took a deep breath, realizing that he was being too hasty; cultivation could not be rushed.

Gula gently touched his left eye; his eyes were getting tired from talking for so long, so he quickened his pace.

“Vice Hall Master Zang should know that when the Abyss Plane shatters the spatial barrier, the first to be annihilated will be the Blood God Legion on the front line. Also, did I forget to mention that Tang San will only resurrect those who died directly while resisting the Abyss? Those who died indirectly are not among those he will resurrect.”

Zang Xin gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, his mind unsettled. How could resisting the abyss only result in deaths on the battlefield?

"Compared to being abandoned by the sea god, cooperating with me will at least allow us to see the newborn sun."

The purple-robed youth, transformed from the Qiluo tulip, suddenly knelt down. "My lord, you are wise! We are willing to sacrifice our very essence to help you rebuild your divine body and regain your divine throne!"

Behind him, the five ferocious beasts, including Liehuo Xingjiaoshu, simultaneously revealed their true forms, their unique aura of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts revealing their determination.

“My Lord, take us with you. We can protect you, or we can even offer ourselves as sacrifices to you, just asking that you restore your divine power and resurrect us.”

In their quest for immortality, they had lost all the restraint of ferocious beasts. If they weren't worried about angering Gula, they probably would have offered themselves as sacrifices to him immediately.

Gula looked at the plant-like beasts and casually said, "Alright, you can come with me."

"this…"

Zang Xin's expression was conflicted. To be honest, after learning about the crisis he would face sixteen years later, whether it was a full-scale invasion of the Abyss or the return of the Sea God, the importance of the immortal herbs in his heart had been decreasing. But he felt it was a waste to let Gula take them all away.

He didn't have the confidence to bargain with a future god who could borrow divine power.

"Thank you, Lord!"

"Thank you, my lord!"

The delicate vines of the tulip shimmered with golden-red ripples at the source of the Ice-Fire Spring. As the roots were pulled away, a rainbow of light burst forth at the confluence of the frigid ice spring and the blazing yang spring.

The fiery apricot blossoms unfurled their fiery crystal leaves, while the roots of the earth dragon golden gourd coiled around the sluggish eight-cornered ice grass. The six ferocious beasts transformed into streams of light, encircling Gula's body. Having long resided in the secret realm, the essence of the plants they exuded instantly generated countless amounts of primordial energy within a ten-foot radius, increasing the primordial energy within the secret realm by more than half.

The divine markings between Gula's brows flickered, and the phantom of Celebi unfurled emerald wings behind him.

As the power of the forest shifted, a verdant halo enveloped the restless immortal herbs like spring water. He lightly touched his third soul ring, and the jet-black ring pattern suddenly expanded into a vortex, within which green leaves could be vaguely seen flowing.

The fragrant and exquisite immortal herbs were the first to disappear into the void, followed closely by the other immortal herbs. In a short while, that small world was filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs.

Gula doesn't have a Seed of Life to contain them for the time being, but with the authority of the Forest God, it's not difficult for him to keep a few herbs alive. If all else fails, he still has the System Space.

"You all go inside and help me decorate the space."

Gula not only took away the six ferocious beasts, but also many other immortal herbs. Compared to the immortal herbs from 20,000 years ago, the immortal herbs from the Dragon King Legend era, under the care of the ferocious beasts, all had considerable cultivation and could be regarded as soul beasts.

He possesses twin divine-level martial souls, and his body has been modified by the essence of divine beasts, giving him a much higher limit for accommodating immortal herbs, which is perfect for handling them all at once.

Having done all this, Gura dissipated the power of his clones, his golden eyes extinguished, turning into obsidian black, his pitch-black eyes resembling an abyss that devoured starlight.

"You don't look well, senior. What happened?"

He asked a question.

Zang Xin staggered. He didn't know whether Gula really didn't know or was pretending to be stupid.

Are all gods this shameless? With this example before him, Zang Xin felt that the Sea God was more likely the mastermind behind it all.

With a dark expression, he led Gula away from the secret realm. He still had to explain to the other members of the Tang Clan why most of the immortal herbs in the Immortal Herb Secret Realm had been lost.

However, Tang Hao's threat prevented him from telling the truth.

Zang Xin felt his situation was too difficult. He was just a deputy hall master. He should have known better than to send Cao Dezhi.

Gula let Zang Xin carry him, taking advantage of the situation. He kept a low profile and sped all the way to the Tang Clan headquarters.

Thunderclouds suddenly gathered above the Tang Clan's martial arts arena. As the two stepped out of the spatial passage, Leng Yaozhu, who was waiting nearby, suddenly looked up, her long crimson hair moving without wind.

Zang Xin abandoned Gula and said to Leng Yaozhu in a bad tone, "Here, your good disciple."

Leng Yaozhu didn't care about Zang Xin's tone, which indicated that Gula had indeed made a gain. He carefully examined Gula and saw that Gula's eyes were completely black.

Leng Yaozhu flashed over and touched the boy's eyelids with her fair hand. The Phoenix True Fire actually shone with golden light under his skin.

"No injury to the pupils, and the meridians are unobstructed... What kind of injury is this?"

Her voice trembled as she worried that Gula would suffer irreversible damage, and she even considered asking a rival she didn't want to see to treat Gula.

"Tell the teacher, what happened?"

"Teacher, don't worry, you'll regain your sight in three months." He didn't fight, so his recovery was much faster.

Gula held the woman's trembling hand, the warmth giving Leng Yaozhu a sense of security. The boy smiled brightly: "This is a side effect of passing the test. I didn't disappoint my teacher, did I?"

A flicker of emotion crossed Leng Yaozhu's eyes as she scolded, "There's no need to force yourself. Even without the immortal herb, there are other opportunities to obtain it." Her genuine feelings revealed a touch of alluring charm.
