Douluo: The martial soul Nine-headed Xiangliu swallows the sky and devours the earth!

Chapter 198 Change?

After Dugu Yan returned to her room, she saw Ye Lingling diligently cultivating, even though they had been deep in the Sunset Forest these past few days.

While hunting soul beasts to obtain soul rings, Ye Lingling was alone at home, but she still did not slack off and maintained a very serious attitude towards cultivation until her sister Yan returned, at which point she ended her cultivation.

"Lingling, it seems you've been cultivating diligently these past few days while I was away. But if you want to surpass me, you still have a long way to go!"

"After all, the difference between us is a full 10 levels of soul power! I'm level 61, and you're level 51. You'd better work harder!"

When she returned and opened the door, she saw Ye Lingling cultivating and couldn't help but want to show off that Ye Lingling had contributed greatly to her soul power level in this lifetime.

Without the other person's presence, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to reach level 60 in soul power before his brother became a Soul Saint.

Ye Lingling naturally knew that the other party was showing off, but she still couldn't help but feel envious. Was being born two years earlier really that useful?

"Are you envious?" Dugu Yan noticed Ye Lingling's little look and asked with a grin.

"I'm so envious!" Ye Lingling answered truthfully. She was truly envious. Now, Sister Yan was a Soul Emperor, while she was still a Soul King. However, she hadn't been without any improvement during this time.

Although his soul power level is still 51, it is very close to 52. However, compared to Dugu Yan's level 61, the difference in soul power is still very large.

Dugu Yan raised her hand and rubbed Ye Lingling's head, and said with a smile, "Cultivation is like a stream, accumulating little by little over time."

"I'm two years older than you, which gives me two more years to cultivate. Plus, you started consuming immortal herbs to strengthen yourself much earlier. It won't be easy for you to surpass me!"

Ye Lingling echoed, "That's right. Surpassing Sister Yan isn't as difficult as surpassing Brother Yao, but it's still a formidable challenge!"

"I will slowly, steadily, and at a moderate pace surpass Sister Yan, so Sister Yan, don't let your guard down! Otherwise, I really can surpass you!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's face darkened. She was still the same as before. Really, besides cultivation, didn't she have anything else she liked?

"Alright, alright, whatever you say, but I won't agree to it." Dugu Yan said helplessly as she sat on the bed, and then entered a meditative state.

Seeing this, Ye Lingling's lips curled into a smile, and she also entered a state of cultivation, refining her soul power, striving to become a level 52 Soul King as soon as possible!

Meanwhile, Dugu Yao returned to his room and, without doing anything else, sat cross-legged on the bed and began cultivating his soul power.

Only one level of soul power away from breaking through to the Soul Saint realm by taking the pill, and that one level of soul power is not easy to cultivate.

Therefore, he tried his best to devote all his time to cultivation, striving to improve this most crucial level 1 soul power as soon as possible.

Time flies.

The weekend was the time for them to go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to register, and it was also the only day they could rest. They took a carriage to Heaven Dou City early in the morning.

"Brother Qinghe has become Sect Master Ning's disciple. The Heaven Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have joined forces, but it seems that nothing has changed!"

Walking on the way to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan said thoughtfully, "It has been a while since the last investiture ceremony."

But it seems that the alliance between the Heavenly Dou Royal Family and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has not brought about any changes, at least in her view, and is no different from before. "The Heavenly Dou Royal Family wants to change the fact that its national strength is weak, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School wants to expand its influence and become the number one sect in the world."

"Both sides had their own needs and hit it off immediately. With Xue Qinghe, the future emperor, as the pivot, he became Ning Fengzhi's apprentice, and Ning Fengzhi became the emperor's tutor."

"The Heavenly Dou Royal Family is enhancing its national strength, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is expanding its influence. These two things seem easy, but in reality, they involve many aspects."

"If the Heavenly Dou royal family wants to increase its national strength, it will inevitably have to confront its old rival, the Star Luo Empire. And what about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"To expand our influence and become a force like the Clear Sky Sect, we must first confront other sects and forces, and possibly the Spirit Hall!"

"So what they need to do now, standing at the forefront of the storm, is to accumulate strength and wait for the right opportunity, rather than making rash changes."

"A single hair can affect the whole body. Although both are enormous, they are far from being able to look down on the entire Soul Master world."

Dugu Yao patiently explained that in the original timeline, it was simply a matter of mutual need and simple cooperation, but now both sides probably have great ambitions.

The changes brought about by this little butterfly are quite astonishing. With their current influence and foundation, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School aspires to become the number one sect in the world.

It is obviously inadequate. Since it is inadequate, we can only seek external help. What are some examples of external help?

The Xuanling Pill Sect? Clearly, they are not qualified enough. At least in his opinion, although the Xuanling Pill Sect is now very powerful, it is still not qualified enough.

It's just a newly established sect, lacking both influence and foundation, so it can't even help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Moreover, their Xuanling Pill Sect is unwilling to get involved in any major events; they only want to stay out of it and seek steady development.

As for the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan? The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan used to have influence, but it has weakened considerably now. As for its foundation? It does have some, but it can be ignored.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is facing a generational gap and is only clinging to life by relying on the old dragon Yu Yuanzhen. Although it now has the title of the number one beast spirit in the world, it is just a title.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan of the past might have truly been able to shoulder the title of the number one beast spirit in the world, but now it is clearly not.

If the Xuanling Pill Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect are both out of the question, then the remaining options are pitifully few. The Spirit Hall? Don't be ridiculous, they are the opposite of the seven major sects.

If the Spirit Hall is no longer viable, then only two great empires remain: the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. The Star Luo Empire is too far from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is located within the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Therefore, after neither the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan nor the Profound Spirit Pill Clan could satisfy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's so-called external forces, the only option he could choose was the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Although the Heaven Dou Empire lacks powerful Soul Masters, it is extremely powerful in terms of influence and foundation, with a long history and a vast empire.

It is clearly designed to meet the various needs of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, while the Heaven Dou Empire also faces its own predicaments. The two forces can combine their strengths to make up for their weaknesses.

After listening to Dugu Yao's explanation, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling nodded thoughtfully, as if they had seen the light after the clouds had parted.
