Civilian Soul Masters in Douluo World

Chapter 356 Star Crown Sect

Tie Li took out a special hexagonal token with a unique mark on it, which he had obtained from Saint-Denis.

In order to break free from his fate, Saint Deson traveled to every corner of the Elemental Continent, uncovering the truth behind the clergy and discovering the secret of how he was promoted to godhood from the Elemental Continent.

He eventually discovered the special token, but it seemed to have lost its effectiveness on the Elemental Continent.

Tie Li needs to raise his soul power level to level 99 before he can take the final divine test.

Upon appearing in Douluo Continent, the token immediately reacted.

Standing atop the mountain of the Thunder God Sect, Tie Li surveyed the changes that had taken place within the sect.

Centered on the mountain where the Thunder God Sect is located, surrounded by five other mountains, the five members of Bingju formulated the sect's regulations. From then on, the Thunder Swamp would be the sect's main peak, and only members of the clan at the Soul Douluo level or above, after review and approval, would be qualified to enter.

Each of the five clans selects a mountain as a secondary peak to train Soul Masters; they no longer limit themselves to their own clan members, but will recruit Soul Masters from other clans, but their background must be clean, preferably commoner Soul Masters.

In particular, the Viper Clan trains mostly orphans as their Soul Masters.

In every hidden corner of every city, there are more or less transactions related to this. The Viper Clan members are skilled in infiltration and espionage, and they learned of the existence of these organizations from some powerful forces.

They directly destroyed their organization and killed all its members. The children who were traded were taken back to the Viper Clan's sect and trained as their own Soul Masters.

The children who can be traded by them are those who have awakened innate soul power, which is why they have trading value.

This also makes the non-family soul masters trained by the Viper Clan the most loyal to the Thunder God Sect.

Viper gave them a unified surname, Tian.

However, many powerful nobles were involved in these shady transactions, and some were even orchestrating them.

These transactions are prohibited by the laws of the Heavenly Dou Empire, but as long as the profits are large enough, they can be driven to complete them.

In the past, they might have restrained themselves, but in recent years, the sudden emergence of the Martial Soul Empire and the war between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire have caused everything to fall into chaos. The empire's focus is on the military and finance, and it doesn't care about them at all.

This made their transactions increasingly unscrupulous.

Bingju and his five companions were currently on the main peak of the Thunder God Sect, discussing how to deal with the aggressive conscription order issued to them by the Heavenly Dou Empire.

Because the Viper Clan destroyed several child trafficking organizations, affecting the interests of many noble families, some of whom are officials in the imperial court, they will steer the war towards the Thunder God Sect.

The imperial army lacks top-tier experts, so it can directly recruit soldiers from the Thunder God Sect.

Although our imperial army lacks top-tier experts, what is there to fear from the mere Thunder God Sect with its million-strong army?
On the battlefield, there are many missions that only the strongest can accomplish, and this is especially evident when facing the Martial Soul Empire.

They believed that the Thunder God Sect would certainly not dare to refuse them. As a newly emerging sect, it was not deeply rooted, unlike a sect like the Clear Sky Sect. If they attacked the Clear Sky Sect, the soul master forces affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect might cause quite a stir in the local area, resulting in serious losses to the Heaven Dou Empire.

"what should we do?"

"Tch, what's so difficult about that? There are only two Title Douluos in the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire. If I take action, I can destroy half of Heaven Dou City as a warning to them. If they still dare to make a move, I'll just move a few mountains to seal off their Heaven Dou City."

Beast Mountain said angrily, his fiery temper making him most averse to threats.

Just then, Tie Li appeared inside the hall.

When did it appear? This was a question that all five of them couldn't help but ask, as they hadn't noticed it despite their keen senses.

When they carefully sensed the fluctuations of Tie Li's soul power at that moment, a wave of shock surged in their hearts, and their pupils couldn't help but shrink a little.

Compared to before, it was a world of difference; it was a power that made them all tremble with fear.

"metropolitan."

"Lord."

A moment later, seeing Tieli sit in the main seat of the hall, the five of them came to their senses.

Tieli also wanted to learn about the current changes in the situation from them.

The five people did not hide anything and told the story, and analyzed it from their own perspectives.

The Spirit Hall's extermination campaign annexed the kingdoms and duchies within the two great empires and seized the territory of the Star Dou Empire. The Spirit Hall then declared itself the Spirit Empire.

Currently, the Spirit Empire is the largest and most powerful of the three great empires, especially in terms of its army of spirit masters and the number of top-tier spirit masters, which is unmatched by the other two empires.

The Star Luo Empire's credibility among the people was greatly reduced because Dai Mubai ordered fallen soul masters to assassinate the kings of various kingdoms and duchies.

The current situation of the Star Luo Empire is arguably the most serious among the three great empires, and it faces the risk of annihilation at any moment.

"If it weren't for the support the Star Luo royal family received from ancient sects like the Star Crown Sect, they would probably have been swallowed up by the Spirit Empire long ago," Viper Xin added.

Compared to the original timeline, there are many differences, but the general direction has not changed.

The establishment of the Martial Soul Empire was inevitable, but the originally powerful Star Luo Empire suddenly became the weakest party.

Even the Heavenly Dou Empire took a big bite out of the Star Luo Empire.

Getting the Heavenly Dou Empire to return it won't be that simple.

The Spirit Hall originally invited the Thunder God Sect to Spirit City to participate in the selection of the new Seven Great Sects, but the Thunder God Sect refused.

However, because the Elephant Armor Sect was destroyed by the Thunder God Sect, one of the new seven major sects that should have emerged was left without a vacancy.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall separated a portion of its spirit masters to form a new sect, just like the birth of the Holy Dragon Sect. This sect became one of the top three of the new seven major sects, controlling the entire spirit master world and accounting for more than 70% of the spirit masters.

Compared to the two great empires, the advantage of the Spirit Empire is that the Spirit Masters they possess are something that the two great empires cannot replicate.

"Sect Master, a new sect called the Holy Word Sect has recently emerged. It's a very strange sect," Lei Zhen said, expressing his doubts.

According to rumors, the Holy Word Sect was originally a reclusive sect, but it was only because its sect leader successfully broke through to the Title Douluo level that it was forced to appear in the world.

However, the current situation is clearly not the right time to emerge. In such a chaotic situation, even a well-established first-class power would not dare to be too flamboyant. The fact that the Holy Word Sect dares to appear in the world at this time gives people a strange feeling.

Tie Li frowned, finding it somewhat strange, but didn't dwell on it. A newly promoted Title Douluo wouldn't pose much of a threat; it was better to consider the current situation and the Heaven Dou Empire's assertive attitude towards the Thunder God Sect.
