Douluo Continent: I, the world's greatest immortal master, have taken Ning Rongrong as my disci

Chapter 429 The Curator Emerges from Seclusion, Leading His Apprentices to the Sacred Mountain

The sky was shrouded in mist.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye.

Shrek Academy's expulsion of the evil spirit masters went smoothly, eradicating more than twenty dens of the Holy Spirit Cult's branches and sub-branches.

The core peacekeeping force has begun to infiltrate the dark zone.

The Dark Zone is a place where evil spirit masters frequently operate, and which is beyond the jurisdiction of the major empires. Centered around two sacred mountains, it encompasses the Evil Spirit Border Town and the Old Capital, and adheres to the law of the jungle.

The Dark Zone is not a single area, but rather a series of long, interconnected strips of land situated between the territories of the Sun and Moon Empire, the Fighting Spirit Empire, the Heavenly Soul Empire, and the Star Luo Empire.

Because powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult had infiltrated the royal families and high-ranking nobles of several major empires, and because there were many powerful members of the Holy Spirit Cult, the major empires had been unable to reach a consensus to cooperate in governing the Dark Zone, and could only allow the Holy Spirit Cult to maintain its sovereignty over the Dark Zone.

Without the instructions from the Peach Blossom Forest, the Sea God Pavilion would never have risked launching an operation against the Holy Spirit Sect. If the Sea God Pavilion and the Holy Spirit Sect were to suffer heavy losses, then the Sun Moon Empire and other major empires of the Douluo Continent might seize the opportunity to rise up and break the current balance.

But the Sea God Pavilion still resolutely set out, for no other reason than their trust in Peach Blossom Spring and their reverence for the Immortal Master's daughter.

The library, under the red maple tree.

After several months of dedicated study and consolidation.

Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya have also made some progress in their Swimming Dragon Bagua Hand and Five Animal Fist techniques. Their soul power has been refined and compressed, and has been raised to level 40.

Don't underestimate the step of refining soul power. In today's soul master world, refining soul power requires reaching the Title Douluo realm and condensing a soul core.

However, Su Ran, the 'Soul Core Creator', can use a Soul Ring Funnel method to allow Soul Masters without Soul Cores to perform a certain degree of Soul Refining.

Higher precision soul power allows a soul master's soul power to be more durable and powerful than that of other soul masters of the same level, and also allows them to go further.

At the suggestion of the curator, Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya absorbed the [Ten Thousand Year Demon Soul Whale] and the [Ten Thousand Year Life-Giving Herb] respectively.

This Demon Soul Whale is a swift hunter of the ocean, moving quickly and attacking fiercely. It not only compensates for the offensive nature of Jiang Nannan's martial soul, but also allows Jiang Nannan's Swimming Dragon Eight Trigrams Palm to be further improved in a short period of time.

The name "Life-Extinction Grass" sounds unpleasant, as if it means the end of life, but only a very few people know that it is a precious plant with extremely strong longevity. It means that no environment can kill it. Whether in a cold glacier, a scorching desert, or a dark and sunless seabed, Life-Extinction Grass can still retain its vital signs.

Having absorbed the Life-Extinction Grass as her fourth soul ring, Tang Ya's Longevity Technique has officially entered the threshold. It did not bring any powerful and terrifying attack skills, but only lifespan and a large number of health bars.

The Blue Silver King Vine has become even thicker. Tang Ya's original lifespan was around eighty years old. When she cultivated the Longevity Technique and her spirit evolved into the Blue Silver King, her lifespan exceeded one hundred and thirty years. Now, after absorbing the fourth spirit ring of the Life-Extinction Grass, her lifespan has directly increased to over two hundred years old.

Two hundred years old is already equivalent to the final lifespan of a weaker Soul Douluo and an ordinary Title Douluo. If she continues to cultivate, Tang Ya can't believe how long she will live.

When I break through level 50, my lifespan may reach 250 years, or even 300 years?
What about when I break through to Soul Emperor, or even break through to level 70 Soul Saint and awaken my Martial Soul True Body, undergoing a qualitative change? Five hundred years old? Six hundred years old?

Perhaps, if I continue cultivating like this, my lifespan could exceed a thousand years?!
This is a lifespan that even Limit Douluo would have to look up to.

They could outlast two generations of Limit Douluo.

Some people may think that long lifespan is not as important as strength and usability, but in fact, long lifespan is the real strength.

Sima Yi outlived three generations of the Cao family through his long life, finally gaining power and rising to the throne. Qin Shi Huang unified the six kingdoms, leaving behind a legacy of great achievements, but his pursuit of immortality in his later years failed, leading to the demise of the Qin Dynasty after only two generations.

As human beings, our greatest worries are not about being too weak.

The problem lies in the fact that lifespan is too short to make progress, and the world is too big for us to see.

If one has a long lifespan, even if it takes a hundred years to advance one level, or ten thousand years, one can still become a god. Even if one walks slowly, observing the ten-centimeter path every day, one can still see all the flowers of the world.

This is the advantage of having a long life.

Long life also brings the benefit of enhancing a Soul Master's strength, namely high health points. Health points represent a person's vitality and endurance. To put it simply, people with high health points have more energy, are more resistant to heat, cold, and poison, and can be used as meat shields.

With this characteristic, Tang Ya had previously broken through the defenses of Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Huo Yuhao's Sharingan training is progressing the fastest. He has already completed the three-tomoe Sharingan and has begun to weave a six-pointed star pattern. His mental strength is extraordinary. In a few years, he may be able to master the Mangekyou Sharingan.

It has to be said that his martial soul and Sharingan are indeed a good match.

Meanwhile, after several months of accumulation, Huo Yuhao's soul power was further enhanced by the rare medicinal bath rewarded by the curator, which strengthened his bones and meridians, raising his soul power to level 30. He acquired his third soul skill, broke through to become a Soul Master, and became one of the top talents among the new students of the outer academy.

In addition, after the curator's conditioning and nourishment, Tang Wutong and Xiao Xiao's cultivation levels, which had been forcibly raised by Su Jinli, have finally gradually stabilized.

Although Xiao Xiao and Tang Wutong's soul power did not advance at all over the past few months, and even regressed by two levels, their own soul power became incredibly full and stable, no longer in a floating state, and would not affect their future cultivation. Even so, their soul power was still several levels higher than Huo Yuhao's.

The five-person group from the library diligently cultivated under Su Ran's guidance, benefiting greatly and making significant progress. They watched as the senior brothers and sisters from the inner courtyard shone brightly outside, defeating the evil spirit masters one after another.

Upon seeing this, they naturally couldn't resist the urge to grab it.

After a period of reflection, their cultivation levels stabilized and they broke through to new heights. They also heard that the inner academy had begun to enter the dark zone to carry out operations. Even Jiang Nannan and Tang Ya couldn't sit still anymore.

They teamed up with Huo Yuhao, their younger brother, and asked the headmaster to temporarily suspend their training in order to take on the mission of eliminating evil soul masters and to gain experience in the dark zone.

Su Ran's indifferent gaze fell on these energetic and restless disciples, as if she were infected by their drive.

How fragile are flowers grown in a greenhouse? Yet, they can withstand wind and rain and grow strong roots.

"It's been a long time since I've gone out to see the world. Well then, I'll let you go on this trip."

"Dealing with evil spirit masters is not the same as a normal spirit master duel."

"One must be constantly careful and cannot be compassionate."

"I agree to let you go, but you must pass the nightmare test first."

"In this nightmare test, you will be able to experience firsthand the true wickedness of human nature, the survival of the fittest, and the era of cannibalism."
