Douluo Continent: Peerless Angel Qian Renxue.

Chapter 160 This is what it's like to be an emperor.

Tianhun Empire, Noumenon Sect.

The location of the Body Sect has always been a secret. They live in seclusion deep in the mountains and forests, never revealing their true strength. The last time they made a significant move was a thousand years ago.

They are a group of sophisticated egoists. Unlike Shrek Academy, they make no attempt to hide their actions, openly admitting what they have done and being willing to bear the consequences of their behavior.

For example, a thousand years ago, they caused a beast tide because they went to the Star Dou Great Forest as a group to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

The beast tide launched a fierce attack on Shrek Academy. Originally, the Body Sect could have completely ignored it, since Shrek Academy had done more and gone far in hunting 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

Which Sea God Pavilion Master doesn't have a 100,000-year soul ring? The Sea God Pavilion Master is replaced every 100 to 200 years. The number of 100,000-year soul beasts they hunt far exceeds that of any other force in the world.

Therefore, even without the Body Sect's action, this beast tide was inevitable; it was just that the Body Sect's action brought it forward. However, the Body Sect was willing to take responsibility for its actions and contributed its own strength to that beast tide.

Furthermore, the sect leader of the Body Sect and the higher-ups of Shrek Academy at the time promised that they would never again enter the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

"Such a thing actually happened in the Sun and Moon Empire?" Poisonous Immortal, the sect leader of the Body Sect, narrowed his eyes.

"Grandpa!" A girl approached. She was Vina, the princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire, a genius of the current era with twin martial souls, namely the Brain and the Snow Lotus.

She is also the link between the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Empire in their cooperation.

"Vina." Poison Immortal clearly adored the little girl, showing the kind of doting affection a grandfather has for his granddaughter. "Your father should have received information about this matter as well, right?"

Vina nodded gently: "That's right. My father told me about this a day ago, so he sent me to find you and invite you to discuss this matter together."

"Alright!" Poison Immortal stood up abruptly, and together with Vina, they set off from the secret place of the Body Sect.

……

Heavenly Soul Empire, Heavenly Battle City.

The emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire is named Xue Zhenhui, meaning "to restore glory," a duty he cannot shirk. Ten thousand years ago, his ancestors were the kings of the Barak Kingdom, a subordinate kingdom of the Heavenly Dou Empire.

In a rebellion thousands of years ago, led by a mysterious figure, the Kingdom of Barak, in alliance with four other kingdoms, attacked Tiandou City, successfully seized the throne, and, with the "mediation" of Shrek Academy, the original royal family established the Douling Empire in the northeast of the continent.

However, their royal family did not have a good impression of Shrek Academy, and therefore their relationship with the Body Sect had always been ambiguous. Until this generation, their little princess Vina awakened the Body Martial Soul Brain, and it was the awakening of twin Martial Souls, which made them completely merge with the Body Sect and become a theocratic country.

The Body Sect became the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Because the relationship between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy isn't very good either.

However, the Heavenly Soul Empire is in a very awkward position. To the west is the covetous Sun Moon Empire; to the east is the original royal Douling Empire; and to their southeast is the Martial Soul City from ten thousand years ago, now Shrek City.

It's a lose-lose situation; if this were in a drama, it would look like the first cannon fodder to die in a war.

"What to do, what to do, what to do?" Xue Zhenhui paced back and forth in the palace. The appearance of the Sun Temple was nothing to him, but the intelligence work of the Heavenly Soul Empire was better than that of the Star Luo Empire, and they knew more about what was happening in the Sun Temple.

Not to mention that Xu Jiawei, in a fit of rage, tore up the intelligence reports. It would likely take considerable effort for him to learn more about the Sun Temple. A flash of green light appeared, and Poisonous Undying and Vina appeared together in the Heavenly Soul Palace.

"Your Majesty, you've finally arrived!" Xue Zhenhui hurriedly stepped forward upon seeing Du Busi appear.

"Your Majesty, I have heard about the matter." Poison Immortal nodded slightly. Given his status and cultivation level, he naturally wouldn't engage in too much formality.

"And what is Your Majesty's opinion?" Xue Zhenhui quickly asked, "According to the intelligence that has been sent back, there are at least three Super Douluo within that Sun Temple, and it is even rumored that the young master's elder... may very well be someone on par with you!"

Poison Immortal's eyes flickered: "Your Majesty, I believe this is likely a smokescreen. Because no one has seen who that elder is, and I basically know who the Super Douluo and even Limit Douluo are still alive on the continent."

Hearing this, Xue Zhenhui felt slightly relieved.

"However, Your Majesty," Poison Immortal suddenly said, "to be honest, I've suddenly become very interested in this newly emerging power."

"Why?" Xue Zhenhui asked, somewhat puzzled. "Didn't you say they were just putting on an act?"

"No, Your Majesty." Poison Undying took out a small booklet from his soul tool.

"This is something my men risked their lives to bring back from the Sun Moon Empire. It is said that after the Sun Temple awakened martial spirits for children for free, they gave this cultivation technique to anyone who was capable of practicing it." Poison Undying handed the booklet to the emperor.

Xue Zhenhui's cultivation level wasn't particularly high. The fact that his family produced someone like Vina was due to the good deeds of his ancestors, so even though he was almost seventy years old, he was only at the Soul Saint level. The Body Sect had also helped him in this regard.

"Your Majesty, if you had used this technique to cultivate when you awakened your Martial Soul, then based on your innate seventh-level Soul Power, you should be a Soul Douluo at this moment," Poison Immortal said slowly.

Xue Zhenhui's eyes widened: "Is it that strong?"

"Actually, this cultivation technique itself is not outstanding; on the contrary, it is very ordinary. However, its soul power circulation route, the meridian routes it passes through, and so on, are very particular and have strong universality."

"Most cultivation techniques these days have a flaw: they're all somewhat imperfect. For example, the techniques of my Body Sect are basically only applicable to various Body Martial Souls, and they're further subdivided based on the different Body Martial Souls," Poison Undying said. "But this technique... it's practically made for all Soul Masters in the world!"

Xue Zhenhui was startled: "They just give away such a good thing like that? Are they trying to destroy the Soul Master world?"

Poison Undying was taken aback, then sighed inwardly.

This is what emperors are like: living in magnificent palaces, their communication with the outside world is limited to audiences, where ministers give eloquent speeches, and then the emperors turn around and go back to the harem to have sex with women.

The Heavenly Soul Empire has a prince named Prince Xueyu, which is mentioned in Chapter 491 of Douluo Continent II. Therefore, the Heavenly Soul's surname should also be Xue, just like the Douluo Continent.

In Chapter 14 of Douluo Continent, there is a setting that the King of the Barak Kingdom is the cousin of the King of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Therefore, the Heavenly Soul Royal Family should be related to the original Heavenly Dou Royal Family, which is now the Douling Royal Family.

The Heavenly Soul Empire's base is the Five Great Kingdoms, which were originally subservient to the Spirit Hall. Therefore, in the history of this book, the Heavenly Soul Empire's uprising a long time ago was a rebellion launched by someone in the name of the Spirit Hall. This was described in "The Duty of the Self-Destructive Warriors," which interested readers can refer back to.

Therefore, it's understandable that the Heavenly Soul Empire is currently in a situation where it pleases no one. (In the river.)
