Douluo Continent: From Internal Martial Arts to the Law of Heaven and Earth

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as the second largest sect in the world and richer than a country, has never lacked rare and precious materials. In addition, each sect leader is always the most talented person of the time, ensuring that all the sect leaders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are level 79 Soul Saints.

The good news is that all the sect leaders in the past have reached the limit of their own cultivation. The bad news is that no sect leader has ever been able to break this limit. All the sect leaders are Soul Saints, and none of them have become Soul Douluo, let alone the legendary Title Douluo.

As the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi should maintain his composure and consider the bigger picture. However, for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the bigger picture, even if it requires taking great risks.

“Uncle Jian, prepare to join forces with the Spirit Hall.” Gently rubbing his forehead, Ning Fengzhi’s eyes regained their clarity. “If things don’t go as smoothly as we’ve imagined, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will take the initiative to submit to the Spirit Hall. I’m sure they’re also wary of that Tang Shan.”

……

The immense primordial energy of heaven and earth was drawn in and flowed continuously into the valley. Several figures stood at the edge of the valley, looking down at the blurry figure in the center, their expressions varied.

"Big brother, the Second Elder should be alright, right?" Lion Douluo asked with some worry, sensing the immense energy gathering in the valley.

"It's alright. The Second Elder is now a Limit Douluo, just like me. Don't be fooled by the sheer size of this gathered energy; it won't actually harm him." Qian Daoliu released his spiritual power, carefully sensing the energy fluctuations emanating from the valley, and wasn't worried much.

Azure Phoenix Douluo's gaze was like lightning, piercing through the vast energy fluctuations and the condensed, misty primordial energy of heaven and earth, and he stared at Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was at the center of the storm, and reminded him in a deep voice: "Success is just around the corner."

As his voice fell, the surging spiritual energy of heaven and earth suddenly subsided, and the enormous suction force emanating from the valley also weakened rapidly, as if an ancient ferocious beast was devouring everything. In just a few breaths, the enormous spiritual energy was completely swallowed up.

As the mist dissipated, the scene in the valley came into view again: lush green grass and verdant trees, full of vitality under the nourishment of the earth's energy. A stream, like a ribbon, divided the valley in two. Beside the stream, an old man with a hunched back sat cross-legged, his aura as deep and boundless as the sea.

"Second Elder." Qian Daoliu, Lion Douluo, Azure Phoenix Douluo, and Light Feather Douluo flew down together and quickly came to Golden Crocodile Douluo's side, keeping an eye on his condition.

Golden Crocodile Douluo slowly opened his eyes, a fierce aura flashing within them. Feeling the soul core surging with soul power in his chest, a smile spread across his lips, then quickly expanded, finally transforming into a wild laugh that roared to the sky.

"Hahaha! Good, good, good, what a soul core!" His voice was like thunder, directly shattering the clouds in the sky. A terrifying aura soared into the sky, and ripples spread through the space centered on his body, with occasional dark cracks visible.

"Congratulations on your great progress in cultivation, Second Elder." Including Qian Daoliu, the four elders bowed slightly in unison, their faces full of joy. To them, Golden Crocodile Douluo was not only the Second Elder, but also an elder. Seeing their elder's breakthrough in cultivation, they were naturally overjoyed.

With a casual flick of his wrist, the immense soul power directly supported the four bowing elders. Golden Crocodile Douluo raised his hand and tore open a spatial passage in front of him.

Qian Daoliu gasped, deeply shocked by what he saw. While a peerless Douluo could teleport short distances, it was absolutely impossible for him to casually tear open a spatial passage. Even he could only create a fixed teleportation channel by relying on the faith of the Angel God, with a fixed starting and ending point.

"Let's go back to the Hall of Offerings and talk about it." The spirited Golden Crocodile Douluo called out and took the initiative to step in, while the other four offerings were like country bumpkins who had come to the city, cautiously lifting their legs towards the spatial passage.

It wasn't that they were inexperienced; it was mainly because most of them had never experienced spatial channels before. Even Qian Daoliu, who had used the power of faith to teleport before, was extremely cautious. After all, he didn't know the difference between spatial channels created by the power of faith and those created by pure soul power.

Fortunately, the journey was safe and the group successfully landed on the magnificent Papal Mountain. Before long, they returned to the Hall of Worship.

Golden Crocodile Douluo sat cross-legged in the center, while Qian Daoliu and the other three formed a semicircle around him, carefully observing the vortex of soul power in his hand.

"You've already seen the general process of condensing the soul core. Now observe carefully. Mental power mainly plays a guiding role. The key is to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and soul power, compressing them into a solid state. Of course, it's only external compression; the internal state remains a vortex." Golden Crocodile Douluo earnestly explained the key points of soul core condensation. The other three pricked up their ears and listened attentively. The terrifying aura that Golden Crocodile Douluo had unleashed earlier had greatly shocked them, and they didn't want to miss such a secret technique.

Half an hour later, the method of condensing the soul core came to an end. Next, it depended on each person's control over their soul power and the strength of their mental power.

After finishing his study, Qian Daoliu asked about the changes after Golden Crocodile Douluo condensed his soul core: "Second Elder, I wonder how much your strength has increased this time, and how effective is the soul core?"

"The soul core I condensed this time greatly increased the upper limit of my soul power, and my endurance was also greatly enhanced. If I push it to the limit regardless of the consumption, I can basically show the ultimate combat power after my martial soul is opened to level 99. My combat power is at least twice that of before, and the duration is about the same as before I condensed the soul core. If I maintain the previous combat power, with the absorption speed of the first soul core to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is basically no problem to fight for a day and a night."

Qian Daoliu couldn't help but gasp. What did it mean for Golden Crocodile Douluo's original strength to double? It was no longer just about fighting two against one, but a qualitative change. He was now invincible even when surrounded by several Limit Douluos.

"That kid from Tangshan is a monster." Lion Douluo couldn't help but sigh. "He can even research soul cores. I wouldn't be surprised if he figured out how to become a god one day."

Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled, glanced back at the towering angel statue, and said nothing. He didn't intend to reveal anything about Gu Yue; after all, Gu Yue was a deity, and revealing her existence without her permission might lead to unforeseen consequences.

"Does Tangshan have any suggestions regarding this method of condensing the soul core?" Qian Daoliu looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo, his expression somewhat solemn.

Golden Crocodile Douluo: "Tang Shan said that we, the retainers, should take control of it and not pass it on to the other elders for the time being."

Qian Daoliu thought for a moment, recalling the way some elders had lost their minds recently, and nodded decisively.

"Great Elder, then I shall take my leave. Douluo Continent is now in your hands." Golden Crocodile Douluo did not linger in the Hall of Offerings. After confirming that the other elders understood the principle of soul core condensation, he directly pulled out a spatial passage and stepped into it.

"Truly a prodigy! Such talent, we wouldn't trade him even if we offered the three great sects for him." Guangling Douluo watched Jin'e Douluo leave and couldn't help but sigh.

Lion Douluo nodded in agreement: "Don't even mention the three upper sects, I wouldn't trade them all, not even the three upper sects plus the four lower sects."

"Alright, everyone, calm down. Do you want to cultivate these soul cores?" Qian Daoliu clapped his hands, attracting the attention of the other three elders. "You all know the advantages and disadvantages of soul cores. The further you go in the Title Douluo realm, the greater the benefits you will gain after condensing a soul core. On the contrary, if you condense a soul core too early, it will be difficult to open up the upper limit of your martial soul in the future, let alone purify your soul power."

P.S.: The Golden Crocodile Douluo's strength is not exaggerated. You can think of him as someone who broke through from a near-demigod to a demigod. In Douluo Continent I, you can understand the limit as having a certain ceiling but not being able to fully utilize it. The appearance of the Soul Core effectively compensates for this deficiency.

Thank you posts and book recommendation posts

Ahem, first of all, thank you all for your support! My first book has come this far entirely thanks to your generous support. I am deeply grateful!

Also, I'd like to take advantage of this space that all of you readers have worked so hard to create to promote a new book: "Douluo: Making a Fortune Through Master's Theories in Traditional Chinese Medicine Body Strengthening".

The protagonist transmigrates into the body of an infant and is adopted by the Yang family, who possess the original spirit. He focuses on traditional Chinese medicine, somewhat similar to the story in this book. If you enjoy stories about original spirits, you might want to check it out. The overall plot is smooth. If you can, please give it a recommendation vote and add it to your favorites!

Many thanks to all my fellow readers and my patrons!

Finally, to clarify, this is not an pseudonym of the author, nor is it a friend of a friend of mine; it's a real friend.

The young author is very focused and won't be fickle; there's definitely no new book to be written before this one is finished.

Finally, thank you again for your support.

Chapter 538 Farewell and Departure

Lion Douluo answered decisively: "Big brother, I have decided to condense my soul core. I can feel that the peak of level 97 is the limit of my comprehension. It will be too difficult to rely on comprehension to pass the level 98 and 99 levels."

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly. While it is indeed powerful to condense a soul core after a martial soul has reached its limit, the former requires comprehension. If you lack comprehension, no matter how much you ponder, it will be useless.

The vast majority of Title Douluos stagnate in their cultivation because of insufficient comprehension, making it impossible for them to further unlock the upper limit of their Martial Soul. Only a very few, like Dugu Bo or Golden Crocodile Douluo, are affected by their own physical problems, which prevent them from continuing to break through.

"I want to try again. It's not too late to condense the soul core after breaking through level 98. I can condense the soul core and reach level 99 directly." Qingluan Douluo said hesitantly.

Light Feather Douluo: "Like Qingluan, I'll try again to see if I can break through to level 98."

Qian Daoliu nodded: "Alright, I also need to prepare to condense my first soul core during this time. Remember to observe carefully, as it will be of great help to you in condensing your soul cores in the future."

……

As dawn broke, Tian Dou City was gradually awakened. After hastily concluding the court session, Qian Renxue, dressed in casual clothes, returned to the former Crown Prince's residence.

Today, the atmosphere in the mansion was somewhat oppressive. The maids passing by subconsciously shuffled their feet, afraid of attracting attention.

Four figures of varying heights, builds, and shapes gathered in the conference hall. One was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing indistinctly; another wore a long robe and had a soft, feminine voice; one was robust and burly, as strong as an iron tower; and the last one was well-proportioned and unremarkable.

"I heard that the leader of this team is not the Second Elder, but a young man in his twenties. Huyan Zhen, why don't you try to test him?" Ju Douluo Yue Guan asked calmly, probing the attitude of the Elephant Armor Sect Master.

Hu Yanzhen snorted coldly: "Chrysanthemum Pass, don't try to fool me or test me. I know who Tang Shan is. In Douluo Continent, strength is paramount, and I won't rely on my seniority."

Yue Guan looked at the silent Salas, and was about to speak when he was interrupted by the other party: "I will always respect the young master and His Highness Tang Shan, even if it means sacrificing my life." After speaking, he also took the initiative to cup his hands in the direction of the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

Yue Guan cursed inwardly. The two people in front of him posed a great threat to him. If they didn't target Tang Shan, how could he demonstrate his loyalty?

If Hu Yanzhen and Salas knew what Yue Guan was thinking at this moment, they would most likely spit on him: putting aside the Golden Crocodile Douluo who was specially there to keep watch, a ruthless person who could chop the Pope in half with an axe, they didn't have the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Heart or the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Gall, and they didn't want to be stubborn and go against that monster.

Squeak!

The meeting room doors opened with a crisp sound, and four figures entered one after another. Tang Shan led the way, with Gu Yue gently holding his hand on his left. On his right, Qian Renxue, dressed in men's clothing, followed unhurriedly, exuding the natural authority of a superior. Finally, the gray-robed Golden Crocodile Douluo acted like a butler, lacking any air of a powerful figure.

boom!

The gate closed, and the four titled Douluo, who stood at the pinnacle of the continent, bowed in unison to the four people who entered.

Tang Shan walked to the front and pulled out a chair for Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue glanced at Tang Shan, but finally sat down.

With a slight fluctuation in her soul power, Qian Renxue's disguise as an angelic divine armor was dispelled, revealing her true appearance as a woman. Her long, golden hair flowed naturally, complementing Gu Yue's silver hair and brightening the dimly lit conference room.

"You are all pillars of our Spirit Hall, and I'm sure you all know the details of this operation, so I won't go into too much detail." Qian Renxue got straight to the point from the start, her recent tenure having shaped her decisive and efficient personality.

"Yes, Young Master." The four Title Douluos bowed their heads in unison before the imposing Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue was very satisfied and raised two fingers: "I'll just say two things: First, all orders for this voyage will be under Tang Shan's command, and you must not act on your own; second, the rewards for returning can be chosen from the Spirit Hall or the Heaven Dou Empire, including sect headquarters or resource support, everything you could want."

Hu Yanzhen's eyes lit up. If he could acquire a piece of territory in the Heavenly Dou Empire, then this voyage would be worthwhile.

Salas, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei fell into deep thought, wondering if the Spirit Hall's treasury contained any useful items that could help them cultivate.

"That's all I have to say. We'll officially set off this afternoon." Qian Renxue abruptly ended the meeting, stood up, and offered her seat to Tang Shan.

Tang Shan did not sit down, but rested one hand on the table with a faint smile on his face: "Everyone, don't worry too much. Although we are going to an unfamiliar continent this time, with two extreme experts, Golden Crocodile Douluo and I, leading the way, we will basically not encounter any life-threatening dangers. Just follow orders and our safe return should not be a problem."

The four titled warriors relaxed slightly. Previously, Qian Renxue had put considerable pressure on them; after all, she was the young master of her faction, possessing not only astonishing strength but also an incredibly powerful background. Furthermore, the prospect of venturing into an unknown continent made even seasoned veterans somewhat nervous. Fortunately, Tang Shan's words reassured them. With two peerless Douluo leading the team, how could anything go wrong?

In fact, it wasn't just two extreme powerhouses who went to the Sun and Moon Continent this time; Gu Yue also had a dedicated henchman by her side. However, there was no need to tell these four titled Douluo who were running errands about this.

With everything prepared, Tang Shan and his group didn't linger in the conference room. They quickly left to say goodbye to familiar faces, leaving only the four titled figures in the room once again.

The four stood up, preparing to attend to their personal matters. Yue Guan looked at Hu Yanzhen with some curiosity: "Speaking of which, where is the Holy Dragon Sect Master? Wasn't he supposed to go with us?" Hu Yanzhen didn't stop walking and casually replied: "He's staying behind to serve as a figurehead for the young master's official title. The Sixth and Seventh Elders are going into deep seclusion."

In fact, Qianjun and Jiangmo, like Xiongshi Douluo, planned to condense their soul cores. In order to free up time, they decided that one of them would secretly protect Qian Renxue while the other would temporarily go into seclusion.

To guard against unforeseen circumstances and to reduce the potential dangers encountered during the process, they borrowed the sect leader of the Holy Dragon Sect as their outermost layer of protection.

……

As the sun set and its afterglow fell, ten figures gathered at the city gate. There were no carriages or horses, and they were all dressed in plain clothes, with all their personal belongings stored in their soul storage devices.

Qian Renxue wore a long gold-threaded dress, her golden hair fluttering in the wind. The beauty of the sunset and evening glow was nothing compared to her. Her bright golden eyes were filled with the young man before her, her eyes containing a thin layer of mist and full of affection.

"Go and say goodbye to her." Gu Yue gently tugged at Tang Shan's sleeve, then called the Zhu sisters and Dugu Yan to walk away. The other five Title Douluos also left in tacit agreement, leaving this area to Tang Shan and Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue didn't speak, but suddenly took a step forward and domineeringly wrapped her arms around Tang Shan's neck, offering her warm lips. Tang Shan also took the initiative to hug her delicate body, his arms instinctively tightening as if he wanted to merge her into his own body.

After a long while, their lips parted, a strand of saliva connecting them. Qian Renxue was panting heavily, her face flushed, but she still refused to let go of Tang Shan's neck.

Once her breathing returned to normal, Qian Renxue leaned close to Tang Shan's ear and said through gritted teeth, "I really regret not taking advantage of you the other day."

Tang Shan chuckled softly: "I wonder who wanted to make a lasting impression on me on my last night before I left, but ended up getting their own time wrong."

Qian Renxue's blush spread from her cheeks to her earlobes. She wanted to pinch Tang Shan, but Tang Shan's skin was too delicate, so she couldn't bring herself to use force after getting her hands on him.

The power of the indestructible Vajra is still too strong. Returning to an infant state and redeveloping does not mean that Tang Shan's skin is really as fragile as a baby's. On the contrary, his seemingly delicate skin actually has extraordinary defensive capabilities. In addition, with Tang Shan's exploration of his physical potential, even weaker ten-thousand-year soul skills may not be able to harm him.

As the sun set and night fell, Qian Renxue reluctantly let go of Tang Shan.

"Go on your way, and come back soon." Qian Renxue turned her head and sped away, afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear begging Tang Shan to stay.

Watching the girl leave, Tang Shan turned around and looked at the crowd waiting for him, feeling a little wistful: "Let's go."

The group gathered around him, and a tall, black-haired middle-aged man naturally joined the group. This time, they were setting sail for the Sun and Moon Continent, and they were going to travel in an extraordinary way.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and Beast God Di Tian, ​​who had infiltrated the group, both focused their attention on Gu Yue. Facing the gazes of these two beings at the pinnacle of human strength, the great Silver Dragon King walked naturally to the front of the group as if bathed in a spring breeze. The next moment, the space rippled.

The vast spiritual energy centered on Tang Shan's body concealed the area where the group was located, and also masked the enormous commotion caused by Gu Yue opening the spatial passage.

She flipped her hand and took out a rough map. Under the somewhat shocked gazes of the crowd, a dazzling silver light burst forth from her body and slammed directly into the air in front of her.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's pupils suddenly contracted. He clearly sensed that layers of spatial ripples were spreading outwards from the area where the silver light struck. These spatial ripples were not chaotic; on the contrary, they were full of rhythm.

Having made preparations in advance, the Beast God Di Tian did not hesitate and directly probed his spiritual power into the spatial passage that was being opened, carefully sensing Gu Yue's control over the power of space.

"Gu Yue, can we let Grandpa Golden Crocodile study it?" Tang Shan asked telepathically, noticing Golden Crocodile Douluo's hesitant expression.

Gu Yue turned her head, looked at the hesitant Golden Crocodile Douluo, and nodded in a cool and aloof manner.
