Huo Yuhao from The Peerless Tang Sect is incredibly talented.

Then, Poison Undying spoke up.

"Yuhao, what's inside your mountain? Of course, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to; that's your personal privacy."

"Hehe, the sect leader has a soul tool inside. Since you want to see it, I'll show it to you so you won't suffer if you encounter a similar civilization in the future."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took the lead, not caring whether the poisoned person died in his own Miaomiao House or not, and followed directly after them.

At the entrance of the Mystic House, Huo Yuhao and Du Busi stood outside. Suddenly, Huo Yuhao turned to Du Busi and asked, "What are your thoughts on soul tools?"

"Unorthodox methods are no match for self-sacrifice," Poison Immortal replied without hesitation.

As soon as Du Bu Si finished speaking, Huo Yuhao's smile did not diminish; instead, it became more meaningful.

"Sect Master, please."

The stone door slid open silently, not splitting open to the left or right, but rather the entire rock wall seemed to shrink inward as if it were alive, revealing a metallic passageway.

Poison Immortal raised an eyebrow. With his perception, which far surpassed that of a Title Douluo and reached the level of a god, he did not detect any soul power fluctuations from this door.

"Mechanical transmission." Huo Yuhao seemed to see his confusion and casually explained, "It's normal that soul power can't detect it."

Poison Immortal laughed. As expected of the young sect master of my Body Sect, he is indeed exceptionally talented, a prodigy, and a chosen one.

The passageway was not long; after about twenty steps, the view suddenly opened up.

Poison Undying's steps stopped.

A massive domed space, seemingly hollowed out the entire mountain. Beneath the dome, countless metal constructs he couldn't name were in operation.

Some were smelting metal, some were cutting clothes, some were producing elixirs, and some were cutting metal.

The vast space was eerily silent, with only various creations ceaselessly producing resources.

However, in Du Busi's perception, there was no one else in this vast space except for himself and Huo Yuhao.

All creation operates on its own according to a predetermined rhythm, like a steel jungle that has been given life.

"This..." Du Bu Si's voice was somewhat hoarse.

"An unmanned intelligent factory." Huo Yuhao stood with his hands behind his back, his tone as calm as if he were introducing his own vegetable garden.

"These robotic arms you see total 3,700, each responsible for a different process. From crushing raw ore to refining metals, from weaving fabric to making garments, everything is done automatically. Currently, they mainly process raw materials transported from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's space, producing clothing, convenience foods, soul tools, and other supplies."

Poison Undying remained silent.

His gaze passed over the robotic arms and assembly lines and landed on the very center of the dome.

In Du Busi's perception, there was a huge energy in the center of the dome, so huge that Du Busi could not ignore it.

Poison Immortal finally spoke, his voice carrying a hint of solemnity he himself didn't realize: "That's... a soul core?"

"Di Tian's." When Huo Yuhao said these two words, it was as if he were saying that the weather was nice today. "You should know that I was lucky. When I was young, a million-year-old soul beast sacrificed itself to me. Naturally, I also inherited part of his karma. With the extra power generated by his sacrifice, I helped him take revenge."

After hearing this, Du Busi thought to himself, "As expected of the pride of my Body Sect, the chosen one of destiny, he dared to directly confront the strongest person in Douluo Continent at such a young age, and escaped unscathed, even taking away one of the opponent's soul cores."

As for the million-year soul bone that Huo Yuhao might possess, Du Busi didn't care at all. After all, the Body Sect regarded its members as family, and they would never do something like killing someone to steal their treasure; they were very righteous.

Huo Yuhao possesses a million-year-old soul bone, and the Body Sect will only be happy for their young sect leader.

Upon hearing that Di Tian's soul core had been extracted and his strength had greatly increased, Du Busi couldn't help but think that a 700,000-year soul ring could be prepared for Yu Hao.

Huo Yuhao, seemingly guessing Du Busi's thoughts, said, "Sect Master, we can't go to the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest right now. There's a God-King hiding there. With your current strength, going there would be like an old man having a death wish."

"God King?" Poison Undying was stunned. The Star Dou Great Forest had such an unparalleled powerhouse? Well, from now on, Soul Hunting will have to be done at sea. Poison Undying secretly made up his mind.

Du Bu Si regained his composure and looked at the factory. As if sensing that Huo Yuhao wanted to say something, he asked, "Yuhao, what do you want to say by showing me all this?"

Huo Yuhao didn't answer directly, but clapped his hands and said to the air, "Logos, bring over one law enforcement robot."

The next moment, a voice responded from the space, "Okay."

Poison Immortal opened his eyes wide, completely unable to discern what kind of life form was answering him, despite his cultivation level.

A humanoid soul guide device walked over.

"Law enforcement robots, mass-produced models," Huo Yuhao said. "Equipped with a soul power detection module, thermal sensing, dynamic capture, and an autonomous learning core. Their individual combat strength is roughly equivalent to a six-ring Soul Emperor, but their advantage lies in the fact that they do not need rest, do not experience fear, and do not betray, and can be mass-produced."

Poison Undying fell silent. Had his own soul tools developed to this extent? He couldn't recognize them at all. So, his Body Sect now had the best soul tools in the world?

Huo Yuhao's tone was no longer indifferent, but rather carried a hint of seriousness.

"Sect Master, you just said that soul tools are unorthodox methods, and that it's better to cultivate one's own body as a seed. I didn't refute you because the Sun and Moon Soul Tools haven't actually developed to the point of becoming shikigami, but that doesn't mean they lack the potential. It's like before you cultivated cultivating one's own body as a seed, could you imagine that your physical martial soul could achieve that level?"

He turned around, looked directly into Poison Undying's eyes, and slowly said, "Soul Guidance Technology is also a path to heaven."

Du Bu Si fell silent, not expecting Huo Yuhao to have such a high opinion of soul guidance technology.

"Above the night sky above us, there are countless stars. Each star could be a world in itself, and each world could give rise to different civilizations."

Huo Yuhao raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the dome and the mountain, looking towards the infinitely distant place. "Some civilizations follow the path of technology, just like what you see now, using machines to extend themselves and using wisdom to unravel the origins of matter. Some civilizations follow the path of cultivation, refining their Golden Core and Nascent Soul, living as long as heaven and earth. Some civilizations are based on runes, some on bloodlines for inheritance, and some specialize in cultivating spiritual power, their physical bodies merely shells."

He withdrew his gaze and looked back at Poison Undying.

"But ultimately, they are all the same thing—exploring the principles of the universe and using them for one's own benefit."

"There is no inherent superiority or inferiority among their paths; after all, they are all seeking the Way. The only difference lies in the degree of development they achieve."

"Technological civilization created this factory not with soul power, but with electromagnetic force, thermal energy, and changes in the structure of matter. Cultivation civilization forged a flying sword using spiritual energy, formations, and the five elements' interactions. Your Body Sect uses the body as a seed, relying on blood and qi, and the mysteries of the human body. The methods are different, the principles are different, but what is the difference in the ultimate goal?"

"It's all for becoming stronger, for living longer, for standing taller, for—touching those unseen rules."

Huo Yuhao's voice wasn't loud, but it resonated beneath the steel dome.

Different paths lead to the same destination.

Poison Undying put away his disdain and began to take the soul tool civilization, which he had always looked down on, seriously.

But then, Huo Yuhao changed the subject, "But on the other hand..."
