Douluo Continent: The World Shines with Stars

Chapter 40 Letters

The Star Crown Sect returned to its usual tranquility, but a hint of tension lingered beneath the calm. All members at the Soul Saint level or above who could spare the time went to cultivate under the Star Tree on the back mountain.

With Xu Mingxi at the center, the fourth spirit ring lit up, and starlight connected everyone into a whole.

The old vine of the Star Seeking Vine peered out from the Star Tree and looked down at Xu Mingxi, sighing inwardly. This kid's attraction to starlight has increased again, and the moonlight essence contained within it has also increased.

The few years that Xu Mingxi was away were just the time it took for soul beasts, especially plant-type soul beasts, to take a nap.

Old Teng never expected that when he woke up, Xu Mingxi would have undergone such a big change. He could actually feel a strange attraction from him, which was the first time in so many years.

When the next day dawned and the cultivators dispersed, Elder Teng finally couldn't resist rushing up to Xu Mingxi.

"Kid, what have you been up to these past few years? I'm starting to feel a certain attraction to you."

"Old Master Teng, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

Xu Mingxi stood up, and the Star Crown Martial Soul appeared, with the silvery-white light filling the three bright gems in the middle, especially the one on the left.

As the sixth jet-black soul ring lit up, Elder Teng immediately felt a chilling aura permeating the mountaintop, and even in broad daylight, moonlight was shining down from the sky.

What Elder Teng sensed from this moonlight was not gentleness and vitality, but only boundless killing intent.

"Elder Teng, be careful."

Sixth Soul Skill: Moon Silver Threads.

Wisps of moonlight drifted like willow catkins, ethereal and beautiful, but the old vine sensed a threat from above. Several vines stretched out from the star tree, trying to sweep away the moonlight.

The vine's outer layer was hard, but its interior was flexible. Yet, it was pulverized by the seemingly delicate moonlight, which gathered into a torrent that rushed towards the old vine.

Several more vines stretched out from the Star Tree, these vines were thicker and covered with starlight.

The moonlight swirled across the surface of the vines, yet it could never break through their defenses.

Xu Mingxi withdrew his soul skill and bowed to Elder Teng.

"Elder Teng, my apologies. My sixth spirit ring was taken from a Howling Moon Wolf that was nearly 20,000 years old. After absorbing this spirit ring, my spirit underwent a tremendous change, and moonlight was also brought under my control."

"Really? You can control moonlight? Maybe you really can do that."

Old Teng muttered something under his breath, and before Xu Mingxi could hear him clearly and was about to ask a question, he retreated back onto the Star Tree.

Although Xu Mingxi has now become the young sect leader, all he needs to do now is cultivate and continuously improve his strength.

His greatest contribution to the sect was serving as a starlight guide and a converter of moonlight essence.

The members of the Star Crown Sect are accustomed to cultivating at night, while the daytime is for rest and training.

Xu Mingxi defeated all his peers on the training field, and even Xu Mingguang was defeated by him.

He proved with his true talent and strength that his position as the young sect leader was well-deserved.

Xu Mingguang thus broke through to level 60 in the battle and went to the Star Dou Great Forest accompanied by the Third Elder.

In half a year, Xu Mingxi's soul power level reached level 69. He originally wanted to rush to level 70 and become a Soul Saint in one go, but a letter disrupted his plans.

As he finished his cultivation as usual and was about to go to the training ground for some practice, Xu Fangxing, who was guarding the back mountain, stopped him, saying that the sect leader had something to discuss with him.

Upon arriving at the sect leader's main hall, Xu Mingxi received the letter from the sect leader. The white letter bore a striking dark green serpentine emblem.

Could this be...? Sure enough, upon opening it, it was indeed a letter from Dugu Xin.

"My dear friend Mingxi, it's as if we're meeting in person. How have you been lately?..."

My father and I have found a cure and are now living in the Sunset Forest.

……

There is one more thing I need to ask of you. My father recently achieved a breakthrough and has specially invited an elder from your clan to come and assist him.

The sect leader had already read the letter when he received it, and spoke directly after Xu Mingxi put it down.

"Dugu Bo should have broken through to level 90. We must step in this time; this is the best opportunity to befriend him."

Yes, the importance of the ninth spirit ring is self-evident, but Xu Mingxi is more concerned about what the letter said about them living in Sunset Forest.

Does this mean that Dugu Bo has discovered the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire? That's the most important thing.

If all the immortal herbs growing in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire were utilized, it would be nothing short of a sublimation for the Star Crown Sect.

If it has indeed been found, then some things can be put on the agenda.

Thinking of a certain family under the Haotian Sect, a murderous glint flashed in Xu Mingxi's eyes. If he couldn't get what he wanted, he wouldn't mind causing conflict and bloodshed.

"Sect Master, let Grandpa come with me this time."

"Alright, let's add the Ninth Elder as well, you can all go together."

The three packed their things and prepared to set off. Dugu Xin, who was waiting for news in the capital of Tiandou, was overjoyed when he saw the letter in his hand.

He walked in and looked at his father, who was standing at the table intently making medicine. He didn't disturb him, but waited for him to stop what he was doing before handing him the letter.

"Alright, alright, they've agreed. Xin'er, let's set off now and return to Sunset Forest."

Dugu Bo was very excited as he held the letter. These past few years have been full of good things. Not only have the problems that have plagued his family for many years been solved, but he has also successfully broken through to level 90 and is about to become the first Title Douluo of the Dugu family.

People are in high spirits when they have good news. Dugu Bo was in high spirits. With a wave of his hand, he took his son and headed straight for Sunset Forest, where he had previously discovered several soul beasts that were very suitable to be his ninth soul ring.

The carriage of the Dugu family drove out of Tiandou City, but Dugu Bo, who was in high spirits, did not notice that a disciple wearing a light blue sect uniform with a seven-story pagoda painted on it hurriedly returned to the sect.

After listening to his disciple's report, Ning Fengzhi told him to go down first, and then muttered to himself while looking at the empty chair next to him.

"Uncle Gu, are you sure what you found out before is true?"

"There's no mistake, the aura that flashed by Dugu Bo at that time definitely reached the level of a Title Douluo."

A black hole appeared in the void, and the Bone Douluo Gu Rong, dressed in magnificent clothes, walked out of it.

While he was strolling around Tiandou City, he happened to hear some commotion at the Dugu family's residence, and out of interest, he observed it from the air.

They initially thought it was just an ordinary drug experiment explosion, but unexpectedly discovered that Dugu Bo's aura had reached the level of a Title Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi crossed his arms, tapped his cane lightly on the ground, and looked at the dark night outside the door, lost in thought.

Having reached level 90, why didn't you invite any forces from Heaven Dou City to help you obtain a Soul Ring? Is it because there's no one to invite, or have you already invited other forces outside Heaven Dou City?
