Douluo Continent: I teach and nurture students at Tianshui Academy!

[Name: Eight Scenery Spirit Gathering Array]

[Description: A superior-grade array treasure from a powerful cultivation world, capable of gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of 500 miles, transforming it into a small spiritual land. It also forms a barrier, isolating the inside and outside of the array from each other, preventing disturbance. Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast cannot break through the array's defenses. The concentration of spiritual energy can be freely adjusted, reaching up to ten times the normal concentration.]

"What a treasure!"

With this Eight Scenery Spirit Gathering Array Plate, his cultivation speed can be greatly improved, and the cultivation environment will be better, without fear of being disturbed by others.

Gu Shenge couldn't wait to use the array plate, injecting his soul power into it. Instantly, the white jade array plate emitted a blazing blue light, and the runes on the jade plate were activated. A layer of spirit-gathering barrier spread from the array plate, and under his control, it only covered the small villa where Gu Shenge was located.

At the same time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of 500 miles was drawn in and all rushed into the spirit-gathering barrier. Instantly, the concentration of spiritual energy in the small villa increased greatly. If the previous concentration of spiritual energy was 5, then the current concentration of spiritual energy is 50, a tenfold increase.

The air inside the villa became humid and viscous, and the spiritual energy was almost liquefied. The plants and potted plants that adorned the building underwent obvious changes after being baptized by the spiritual energy. Their branches and leaves grew more lush and green, and their flowers bloomed more beautifully, which was very pleasing.

Gu Shenge also felt the consumption of his soul power. Activating the Eight Scenery Gathering Spirit Array once consumed one-fifth of his soul power, which was no less than the consumption of using the ninth soul skill.

After injecting soul power once, the spirit gathering barrier lasted for two hours, and the soul power he had consumed had long been replenished.

This results in excellent battery life.

However, spiritual energy is not inexhaustible. Once the spiritual energy within a radius of 500 miles is exhausted, no matter how strong the spirit-gathering array is, it will be useless because there will be no more spiritual energy to gather.

Placing the Eight Scenery Spirit Gathering Array Plate in front of her, Gu Shenge sat cross-legged and began meditating and cultivating.

…………

The next day, the weather was clear and the sun hung high in the sky, casting its vast rays upon the earth and bringing life to all things.

After finishing her cultivation early in the morning, Gu Shenge went to Leng Qishuang's residence, had breakfast with her, and then said goodbye.

"Where are you going?"

Leng Qishuang wiped her red lips. Hearing that he was leaving, she felt a little reluctant. Why did he have to leave after only two days?

"Wuhun City, hereby conferred."

Gu Shenge took the initiative to hug the beautiful dean. Leng Qishuang not only did not resist, but was also very compliant, caressing her plump body, and lowering her head to her ear to explain gently.

As he spoke, his breath, slightly damp, enveloped Leng Qishuang's ear, causing her delicate body to tremble slightly and her earlobes to flush a deep red, becoming incredibly hot.

As the official and orthodox organization for Soul Masters, the Spirit Hall sends every individual who breaks through to the Title Douluo level to Spirit City to receive their title in the Douluo Hall. Afterward, the world will be informed that a new Title Douluo has been born.

Of course, Gu Shenge's trip to the Spirit Hall was not just for the purpose of receiving an official title. There were many places to sign in at the Spirit Hall, and she was sure to gain a lot of good things.

With one arm around the plump waist of the beautiful female dean in his arms, he held a small fortune pill in his other hand and handed it to Leng Qishuang.

"This is a Lesser Creation Pill, containing powerful medicinal properties. Even a Soul Douluo can increase their Soul Power by one level after taking it. You are currently level 79, and after taking it, you can break through to level 80. As for Soul Rings, we will hunt for them together after I am sealed and return."

Looking at the milky white pill in Gu Shengge's palm, a hint of surprise flashed in Leng Qishuang's eyes. Such a small thing could actually help her break through to the Soul Douluo level. However, she did not doubt the truth of Gu Shengge's words. He had no reason to lie to her.

"Thank you."

Leng Qishuang carefully put away the Lesser Creation Pill and thanked him. Gu Shenge protected her, and the beautiful dean immediately took the Lesser Creation Pill. Instantly, a powerful medicinal force erupted in her body, and she hurriedly refined it.

After a long while, having finished refining the medicinal power and broken through to level 80, Leng Qishuang slowly opened her phoenix eyes. Gu Shenge was no longer by her side, which made her quite disappointed.

On the balcony of another small villa, Lan Qingyan saw Gu Shenge walk out of Leng Qishuang's residence. Her mature and beautiful face changed slightly, her eyebrows furrowed, and she immediately snorted coldly.

"Hmph! There really was something going on!"

(When the Spirit Hall was being conferred its titles, they also took the opportunity to show Bibi Dong some "sunshine," leaving a deep impression on His Holiness the Pope.)

Chapter 7: The Evil Soul Master Force - Demon Soul Cult!

The vast sky was cloudless, and a dazzling golden light streaked across the horizon, flying freely through the clouds and leaving a fiery trail behind it.

As the camera zooms in, it becomes clear that the golden light is actually a human figure, none other than Gu Shenge. His golden wings, burning with intense golden flames, flap their wings, moving at an extreme speed, covering thousands of meters in an instant as he flies towards Wuhun City.

These golden wings were the 100,000-year-old external soul bone he obtained after hunting a 100,000-year-old three-legged golden crow, which he named "Sun God Wings".

Using the Sun God Wings, Gu Shenge's fire attribute increases by 200%, speed increases by 200%, and other attributes increase by 100%. She is also immune to all fire attribute attacks. This is just the basic boost; she also gains two additional soul bone skills.

[Golden Crow Transforms into a Rainbow]: The Golden Crow possesses the ultimate speed in the world, transforming into a rainbow to travel at ten times the speed. It also possesses properties such as burning and incineration, and anything that blocks its path will be burned to death.

[Slaying Three Thousand Divine Fire Crows]: Use this soul skill to release endless divine fire feathers that pierce, burn, and incinerate all matter.

"Ok?"

Gu Shenge, who was flying at high speed, suddenly stopped and looked down. From her high vantage point, she had a clear view of everything happening on the ground. Her face instantly turned extremely ugly, even somewhat ferocious. Her bright golden eyes flashed with anger as she gritted her teeth!

He hurtled straight to the ground, and as Gu Shenge continued to fall, a horrific scene unfolded before his eyes.

A village was shrouded in death, with broken walls and corpses strewn everywhere. There were old and young, the youngest being an infant. The air was filled with an extremely strong smell of blood. However, the corpses were in an extremely bizarre posture, forcibly nailed to the ground, as dry as firewood. It seemed that the blood in their bodies had been sucked out by something, leaving only bones and skin.

Seeing such a horrific scene, even the usually mild-mannered Gu Shenge felt extremely angry and roared out.

"Demon Soul Cult, you beasts!!"

Seeing such a familiar scene, he could think of nothing other than the Demon Soul Cult, an evil soul master organization.

The village that once raised him was destroyed by the Demon Soul Cult, and they used the same blood sacrifice technique!

Gu Shenge walked into the village that had been sacrificed, sensing the lingering aura of the evil soul masters from the Demon Soul Cult. The massacre and blood sacrifice hadn't lasted long, and the evil soul masters hadn't stayed long either; they were probably already on their way to the next village.

Without much thought, he unfurled the Sun God Wings once more and, guided by the lingering aura of the evil spirit masters, went to pursue them.

A ball of intensely hot solar fire descended from the sky, landing on the village that had been sacrificed in blood. The supremely yang and holy solar fire instantly swept through the entire village, burning everything to ashes. Let those villagers who died unjustly return to dust.

In the sky, Gu Shenge followed the scent to track down the evil soul master of the Demon Soul Cult, her bright golden eyes filled with rage.

The four Soul Douluos who ambushed him three years ago were the protectors of the Demon Soul Cult.

Since Gu Shenge broke through to the Soul Saint realm, he has been hunting down evil soul masters of the Demon Soul Cult across the continent. This has made him a thorn in the side of the Demon Soul Cult, otherwise they would not have sent four guardians to ambush him.

The Demon Soul Cult was established less than a hundred years ago, and what Gu Shenge investigated was said to be related to the Slaughter City. It was founded by a killing god who came out of it, and the cult leader was suspected to be a level 99 peerless Douluo.

However, he suspected that the Demon Soul Cult was backed by the King of Slaughter, because the robes of the Demon Soul Cult members were embroidered with blood-red bats, and there was a river of blood flowing in the Slaughter City. To ensure that the blood river would not dry up, the people in the Slaughter City alone would not be enough, so they would have to collect it from the outside world.

Below the leader are two vice leaders, eight venerable ones, and a host of elders and protectors, forming a powerful force that gathers many evil soul masters.

However, under the suppression of the Spirit Hall, even though the Demon Soul Sect was powerful, it could only cower and dare not show its face, only daring to cause trouble in secret.

Although every city on the continent has a branch of the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall is not omniscient and omnipotent. It cannot predict the future and can only do its best to curb the evil deeds of the Demon Soul Cult.

However, some places are too remote for even the Spirit Hall to reach. In addition, the two great empires are inactive, only caring about the nobles and not the common people. It seems that they want to use the Demon Soul Sect to restrain the Spirit Hall. Therefore, the Demon Soul Sect has never been eradicated and has instead grown stronger.

Gu Shenge discovered that some nobles had cooperated with the Demon Soul Sect, had killed nobles, and had even been on the wanted lists of several kingdoms.

He also understood why, in the later stages of Douluo Continent, when the Spirit Hall established the Spirit Empire, it not only did not face opposition but also gained the support of many people on the continent—because they did practical things.

Following the aura of the evil spirit master, Gu Shenge flew for more than ten minutes, during which he discovered two more villages that had been sacrificed in blood. His eyes widened in fury at the sight of these beasts!

Finally, they found the group of evil spirit masters in the fourth village.

A group of evil soul masters dressed in black and red robes embroidered with blood-red bats broke into the once peaceful village. As soon as they entered the village, they killed anyone they saw. How could the unarmed villagers possibly be a match for them? The village's only soul master was also easily killed by a soul king.

"Father, save me!"

"You beasts!! May you die a horrible death!"

In an instant, slaughter broke out in the village, with constant wails, cries for mercy, and curses echoing in the air. Those who heard it could not bear it, and those who saw it were filled with grief.

"Mother of the child!"

"Son, run! Your father is here for you..."

"Beast! Beast!"

Among this group of evil spirit masters, two figures stood motionless, silently watching the scene of carnage before them.

One figure seemed unable to bear it any longer and turned to leave, while another followed closely behind.

But no sooner had those two figures left than a blazing sun descended upon them!

Seeing this scene, Gu Shenge's handsome and heroic face revealed anger. His golden hair stood on end, and the sun pattern between his eyebrows emanated layers of golden light, enveloping his figure. He was surrounded by nine soul rings, two purple, six black, and one red. His overwhelming pressure was completely unleashed, suppressing the Demon Soul Cult members who were still killing in the village!

Behind them, a blazing sun rose slowly, its endless fire burning fiercely, illuminating the heavens and earth, burning everything in its path. The extreme heat distorted even space itself. It was supremely yang, sacred, and noble, like a sun god descending to earth, bringing with it boundless fury!

Without a word or a movement, the first spirit ring shone with a magnificent purple light. Gu Shenge raised her hand and condensed a blazing golden sun, burning everything in its path! Her bright golden eyes were icy cold as she coldly pronounced the death sentences of the Demon Soul Cultists!

"The sun sets."

The blazing golden sun shot out and instantly split into more than a dozen golden suns. The size remained the same, but the speed was extremely fast, like a golden meteor. It left a scorching black mark in the air, giving the demon soul cultists no chance to react. It landed on them and burned them to ashes, annihilating them inch by inch!

(The Demon Soul Cult is an original villain I created, right? I don't think anyone will criticize me for the fact that the Demon Soul Cult didn't exist in the original work, right?)

Chapter 8: Demon Soul Saintess? Kill her just the same!

The dozen or so Demon Soul Cult members who were wantonly killing people in the village were easily killed by Gu Shenge and burned to ashes.

Unfortunately, they arrived too late. Many villagers fell under the evil spirit master's blade. The village ground was littered with the corpses of villagers, young and old, men and women. Due to the requirements of the blood sacrifice, most of them were killed with a single blow. The flowing blood gathered together to form a small pool, and an extremely strong smell of blood permeated the air.

They all had their eyes open, still lingering with the confusion, bewilderment, and deep bewilderment of dying, never understanding why such a sudden calamity had befallen them.

Only a dozen or so villagers survived. They watched as their relatives, friends, and neighbors, who had been laughing and talking just minutes before, turned into cold corpses. Unable to bear such a blow, they collapsed to the ground, their eyes filled with grief. Some villagers even lay down on the corpses, weeping uncontrollably.

"Dad, wake up, wake up! Mom, don't sleep either! I promise I'll be good and won't run around anymore, please wake up! Waaah!"

The child, dressed in simple clothes, lay on top of his parents' corpses, shaking them and weeping, begging them to wake up, but only their gradually cooling bodies answered him.

The shirtless farmer held his lifeless daughter in his arms, his eyes red and swollen. He held her gradually cooling little hand to his chest, as if trying to warm it up, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't warm it up!

"My child, your hands are so cold. I want to warm them up, but somehow I just can't. I'm useless, my child. I'm useless. I can't protect you!"

Every sound was filled with grief, every word pierced the heart. A burly man held his daughter and wept bitterly, looking up at the sky like a child, so helpless and heartbroken.

The elderly woman, well past seventy, looked at the body of her husband who had been with her for most of her life. She didn't cry or make a fuss. Her cloudy old eyes were filled with tenderness. She reached out her thin, frail hand to touch the face that was blurred with blood and looked somewhat ferocious. She gently stroked his face, closed his eyes, and spoke softly and gently, with a hint of reproach in her voice.

"Old man, why are you walking so fast? You didn't even wait for me. Slow down, slow down, I'll catch up with you soon."

The old woman looked up at Gu Shenge in mid-air, gave him a kind and gentle smile, thanked him, and then crashed into a stone pier to her death, going after her old man.

We've loved each other our whole lives, how can I let him go alone?

This scene deeply affected Gu Shenge's heart, and her hatred for the Demon Soul Sect rose to a new level.

"Hmph! Trying to run away!"

He suddenly turned his head and saw two figures fleeing from here at high speed. He snorted coldly, transformed into a golden rainbow and chased after them. In the blink of an eye, he intercepted them.

The immense and overwhelming soul power pressed down on the two fleeing Demon Soul Cult members without reservation, suppressing them on the spot. The weight of the mountain forced them to their knees, making it difficult for them to breathe. They looked fearfully at Gu Shenge, who stood in mid-air, carrying a blazing sun on his back, like a sun god. His bright golden eyes were even colder and filled with killing intent!
