Douluo Continent: The Sky Revealed, What the Hell is Honkai Academy?

Chapter 83 The Land of Ancient Soul Guidance Device Inheritance, the Crystal of Resonance of All Laws
[Location of the opportunity: Within the former Sun Moon Empire, in the vast desert and deep underground areas adjacent to the Demon Forest.]

[Opportunity Description: This place is the core legacy left behind by the Sun Moon Empire, a civilization with extremely brilliant soul guidance technology, ten thousand years ago!]

The ruins contain a vast amount of ancient soul tool design blueprints, core magic array principles, and high-efficiency energy conversion technology that have long been lost!
From the most basic soul-guided rays to the legendary strategic soul-guided devices capable of destroying cities and nations, their theoretical and technological prototypes can all be found here!
At the same time, the ruins contain a vast amount of rare metal mineral deposits and special alloy formulas, many of which are now extinct or difficult to refine on the mainland!
For any force aspiring to develop soul-guided technology, enhance its overall strength, or even promote the progress of civilization, this place is an indispensable source of technology and a strategic treasure trove!

Those who inherit its legacy may be able to reshape the power structure on the mainland!

[Heavenly Reward: To recognize the significance of this opportunity, Heaven bestows the following blessings:]

Relic Barrier Weakening: The strength of all natural soul force barriers and maze traps surrounding relics is permanently reduced by 50%, and the seals in the core areas are periodically weakened.

A supreme treasure descends—the [Resonance Crystal of All Laws]: Several special crystals are randomly generated and born in the core area of ​​the ruins.

Those who possess this crystal will experience a temporary and significant boost in comprehension when studying and understanding soul tool blueprints and inscribing core magic arrays, resulting in a markedly lower failure rate!
Although this item is a consumable, its value to a Soul Master is priceless!

……

boom!
The voice of Heaven and that Luo caused an uproar throughout the Douluo Continent, especially in the human world!
"The ruins of the Sun and Moon Empire? The legacy of an ancient soul-guided artifact!"

"Blueprints! Core magic array! And so many rare metals! When did such a treasure trove come to be hidden near the Sun Moon Empire?"

"If we acquire this land, wouldn't we be able to create another Soul Guidance Empire?!"

"The [Resonance Crystal of All Laws] awarded by that Heavenly Curtain is an absolute treasure! It can dramatically increase the research efficiency of Soul Masters!"

Exclamations of alarm, gasps of horror, and an uncontrollable greed and ambition spread like a plague.

Almost all human forces, from the two great empires, the Spirit Hall, and the three upper sects, to the various kingdoms, spirit master families, and even many reclusive spirit master groups, are green with envy!
This opportunity to rank tenth might have limited significance for Zhang Yi and the Honkai Academy, who already possess the [Void Treasury] and have mastered the complete soul tool technology of the Douluo Civilization. It's more of an added bonus, supplementing them with some rare physical resources.

But for all other forces, this is a golden opportunity to break free from the Honkai Academy's technological monopoly and even achieve a leapfrog development!
Whoever controls this ruin may have the confidence to confront the Honkai Academy in the field of soul tools in the future!
Moreover, the strategic significance of the [Resonance of All Laws Crystal] awarded by the Heavenly Curtain is no less than that of occupying the ruins themselves!
It can accelerate the digestion of ancient technology and create more top-tier Soul Masters!

……

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong sat high on her throne, looking at the information on the sky, her slender fingers gently tapping her scepter.

Her eyes were sharp and ambitious.

"Sun and Moon Ruins... Soul Tool Inheritance..."

She muttered to herself, then let out a cold laugh, "Hmph, Zhang Yi's Honkai Academy is unparalleled in soul tools, this place is the key to breaking the deadlock! Ghost Leopard, Demon Bear!"

"Your subordinates are here!" The two titled Douluo immediately stepped forward.

"Secretly gather elite Soul Masters, and have you personally lead the teams to infiltrate the ruins area. Strike when the opportunity arises; seize whatever you can, whether it's the blueprints, the metal, or the resonance crystal!"

"If we encounter anyone from the Honkai Academy...we should avoid their attacks for now and prioritize acquiring resources!"

Bibi Dong's orders were clear and ruthless. She knew it was unwise to confront the Honkai Academy head-on now, but the opportunity had to be seized.

"I obey His Holiness the Pope's command!"

……

Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu stood calmly before the angel statue, his expression serene, but a glint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Although soul tools are not the orthodox path of our Angel lineage, such power cannot be completely ignored. Xue'er has already placed her bet on the Honkai Academy. As for the Sun Moon Empire ruins, let us go and fight for them."

"Send a message to Xue'er, telling her to study hard at the Honkai Academy, and if possible, bring back some valuable items or information for the Hall of Worship." He valued Qian Renxue's safety and her observation of the overall situation more, and had relatively limited interest in the soul tool itself.

The other worshippers, such as Golden Crocodile Douluo, mostly scoffed at this, believing that power originated from within and that external things were ultimately superfluous.

Even if they didn't care about the opportunity to be included in the list of successful candidates, they would still strive to seize it under the command of the Grand Master.

……

Haotian Sect, hidden in a secluded valley.

Sect Master Tang Xiao and several elders looked at the list of successful candidates with complicated expressions.

"Soul tool...blueprint core..."

The Seventh Elder frowned, instinctively wanting to belittle him, "Fancy tricks, how can they compare to my Clear Sky Hammer, which can break through all laws with sheer force!"

However, another elder in charge of the sect's forging had his eyes light up and said excitedly, "Sect Master! Elders! You are mistaken! My Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul is extremely strong and powerful, with an innate keen sense of metal and exquisite control of power. It is the perfect talent for learning forging and inscribing soul guidance arrays!"

"If we can obtain the inheritance of this relic, our Haotian Sect may be able to shift from traditional weapon forging to the more advanced field of soul tool manufacturing! At that time, why should we worry about the sect not prospering?!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao's body trembled slightly.

He had been struggling with how to develop his sect after it went into seclusion, and these words were like a wake-up call! The Haotian Hammer might not only be a hammer of destruction, but also a hammer of creation!
He clenched his fist tightly and said in a deep voice:
"The elder is absolutely right! This opportunity may be another path for our Haotian Sect to return to its peak!"

"Immediately select the most talented and quick-witted disciples in the clan who are skilled in forging. I will personally lead them out of the mountains to compete for this opportunity!"

At this moment, the Haotian Sect, which had been adhering to tradition, quietly began to change due to the appearance of the soul tool.

……

Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

Looking at the list, Yu Yuanzhen could only sigh helplessly.

In the previous Martial Soul Ranking, their family didn't even qualify for a spot. Now, this Soul Tool Ruins seem even more incompatible with their Martial Soul system, which excels in physical strength.

"Alas, my clan has no affinity with this place. Let us place our hopes on befriending the Honkai Academy."

He completely abandoned any thoughts of competing and decided to cling tightly to Honkai Academy, his only powerful backer.

……

Poseidon Island, Poseidon Temple.

Poseidon and the high priests also gazed at the heavens.

“Soul tools, objects of contention on land,” a guardian of the Holy Pillar said, shaking his head.

Poseidon gazed into the distance and said softly, "Although this thing is contrary to the power of the sea, it can cause drastic changes in the continental landscape, so it cannot be ignored."

"Pass down the order to strengthen patrols around Poseidon Island and closely monitor the movements on the mainland. Poseidon Island may be detached from worldly affairs, but it must also be aware of the outside world's events."

They chose to remain neutral, but remained highly vigilant.
