Douluo: The blue phoenix cries loudly, and the wind whistles through the air

During the conversation, Ning Fengzhi offered some advice to Wu Qi.

By holding the soul tool technology in their own hands and maintaining a long-term monopoly, the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will surely be passed down for thousands of years, and their position will be unshakeable.

This is typical businessman thinking, and Wu Qi refused outright.

Soul tools are a technology that benefits the entire continent; there's no point in hiding them.

Conversely, if the commercial market for soul tools were not relied upon to offset the research and development costs, the funds required to develop new soul tools alone would be enough to bankrupt the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall.

Moreover, which of the great families in the history of Douluo Continent who possessed soul tools didn't harbor the same ambition? And what was the result? Even the most powerful families and sects eventually decline.

They also possess enviable soul tool technology. If that day truly comes, the two major powers will not even have the right to remain hidden from the world. They will be wiped out by their rivals and their profits will be divided up.

Even if everything Ning Fengzhi envisions comes true, when the two continents collide six thousand years later, the Sun and Moon Continent will also bring soul tool technology. At that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall, which rely solely on technological monopolies, will inevitably be eliminated by the times.

"The promotion of soul tool technology is more beneficial than harmful to us. As long as we have the cutting-edge technology and the power to set the rules for the advancement of soul masters, we can earn much more than monopolizing the market ourselves."

"Uncle Ning, it's like a one-inch cake. If you stubbornly stick to it, the cake will always be one inch big, and it might even shrink further due to rotting."

"Instead, we take the cake out and keep making it bigger. Even if we only occupy one or two tenths of a 100-inch cake, we still get more than a one-inch cake."

Ning Fengzhi chuckled, easing the awkwardness.

He hadn't thought about this issue beforehand, and his hasty statement was inevitably somewhat ill-considered.

"I have learned a lot from Elder Wu's words. I will do as Elder Wu says. After returning today, I will immediately send people to organize the ancient books related to soul tools, and at the same time continue to search the continent. When Elder Wu needs them, I will send them to him."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a support-type sect, and its inner disciples are naturally lacking in combat ability.

Long ago, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School knew of the benefits of soul tools for support-type soul masters. Unfortunately, despite collecting data from several generations, the lack of fundamental technology prevented them from making any progress in developing soul tools.

Although this benefited Wu Qi, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also benefited greatly.

At least, these materials are no longer left to gather dust in the vault; they have a real place to be used.

……

Wuhun City, a hidden corner.

"My dear heir, you have become the final stumbling block on that God-King's path to godhood. What will you choose? Will you submit to your fate, or will you fight to the end?"

The Rakshasa God's highly seductive voice echoed in Bibi Dong's mind.

During the time Wu Qi was away from the Spirit Hall, apart from Bibi Dong completing some of her plans step by step at the beginning, she spent the rest of the time fusing with the Rakshasa God Power and did not take any further action.

While fusing with the power of the Rakshasa God was undoubtedly an important reason, another reason was that Bibi Dong reassessed her situation.

Even without Wu Qi and Qian Gu Chang Kong, even if the Hall of Worship had sent out Qian Ren Xue, she would still have been able to handle it, and even drag the Spirit Hall into an abyss of no return.

But now, the strength of the two sides is not on the same level. Even if Bibi Dong is crazy, she has to seriously consider her situation.

With the chance to become a god, possessing unlimited lifespan, and having a long life to enjoy in the future, who would want to die? Faced with the Rakshasa God's mocking question, Bibi Dong sneered, "I have my own plans, no need for you to worry."

"If you don't want to offend anyone, you should merge your divine power with mine as soon as possible, instead of hindering my assessment!"

The Rakshasa God chuckled awkwardly, neither confirming nor denying, "My dear successor, you must treat this power of mine well."

……

Meanwhile, within the Haotian Sect.

The Heaven Dou City is very far from the current Haotian Sect's headquarters, and it took several days for news of the Seahorse Douluo and his group's accident to reach Tang Xiao's ears.

He immediately summoned Yu Xiaogang and others for a small meeting.

Just then, Tang San returned to his sect after completing his sixth trial and was also dragged to a meeting.

"What?! His Majesty Seahorse and the others have been murdered in the Heavenly Dou Empire!" Yu Xiaogang was shocked, unsure of what went wrong that led to their tragic deaths.

Even if they knew that Seahorse Douluo came from Seagod Island and that the Heaven Dou Empire had no grudges or entanglements with them, why would they kill him?
Tang San's face was grave, and he was panting heavily. "Damn it, the only ones in Heaven Dou City capable of killing Senior Seahorse are Dugu Bo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! In the past, Dugu Bo was very close to Wu Qi. In my opinion, the Gathering Righteousness School is Wu Qi's lackey, it must be!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Xiao interrupted him and handed him the intelligence.

“Mistress, your suspicions are not without merit, but according to our investigation, the truth is different.”

"Whether Juyi Sect is Wu Qi's lackey is another matter. Such a large sect is very complex internally, and it cannot be explained in a few words. However, the reason why Seahorse Douluo and the others got into trouble is because they offended the Heaven Dou Royal Family."

After reading the intelligence report, Yu Xiaogang cursed, "What the hell? How could His Majesty the Seahorse, a titled Douluo, steal from the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury? This is a trap set by the royal family and the Gathering Righteousness Sect."

This announcement from the Heavenly Dou Empire carries full credibility.

The major powers would find out the situation with a little inquiry, since many residents of the city witnessed it that day.

Tang San's heart tightened, and he said, "Teacher, this must be true. Senior Seahorse will definitely take a risk to get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover for me."

Tang San, who was familiar with the operation of Poseidon Island, knew very well that Seahorse Douluo had received the order from Lord Poseidon and would do everything in his power to achieve his goal.

It's a pity that the enemy underestimated the defensive strength of the Heavenly Dou Empire, and consequently lost their lives here.

"My seventh test requires me to return to Poseidon Island. Teacher, Uncle, please don't worry. Let me go to Poseidon Island and then discuss it with Senior Poseidon in detail."

"This time, regardless of whether Senior Seahorse had other reasons for being forced to steal from the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury, it is enough to prove that the Vast Ocean Universe Cover must be in the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury."

"Now that we've identified our target, things will be much easier. Perhaps, because of the Heaven Dou Empire's actions, we can even unite the forces of Seagod Island to fight against the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire."

Tang Xiao nodded slightly, his expression softening. "This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Xiao San, everything should be focused on your assessment. Breaking through to the Title Douluo level as soon as possible and reaching a higher realm is the most important thing."

"Although Seahorse Douluo encountered trouble this time, it has not been related to the Clear Sky Sect. The sect has me and Grandmaster to stabilize the situation. Go and return quickly to complete all the assessments as soon as possible." (End of Chapter)
