Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 100 Sunset Glow

"Oh? Yuhao, are you serious?" Du Busi had just finished organizing the theoretical materials written by Huo Yuhao and had just asked Elder Jinpeng to make arrangements. He hadn't even had a sip of water yet.

He then learned this exciting news from Huo Yuhao. Although the Body Sect had been exploring the ocean and hunting sea spirit beasts for generations.

This incident also led to the discovery of many islands and unique sea areas, but none of these islands and sea areas have much value for long-term development.

However, since the Body Sect itself has a small number of members, it appears weak and powerless. Therefore, what they have explored over the years is only the tip of the iceberg in a vast ocean.

Although there were some rumors compiled from various sources, none were as detailed or convincing as Huo Yuhao's account.

That is why they chose to ally with the Heavenly Soul Empire. Although the Heavenly Soul Empire's leadership is not strong, it still possesses imperial power and a large population.

"A completely new continent. If it is indeed as you say, Yuhao, and the information was scavenged from the memories of that 100,000-year-old mirage dragon, then its accuracy is probably quite high."

In the study, Du Bu Si paced back and forth. After learning the news, even he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.

A completely new continent means a completely new ecological environment and unknown new resources, which will definitely greatly accelerate the current rise of the Body Sect's strength.

However, the benefits and risks go hand in hand, just like the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent back then.

The former Sun Moon Continent has now been renamed Douluo Continent, but the original inhabitants of Douluo Continent have also suffered a great deal of impact due to the soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire.

So, on this new continent, are there any native inhabitants? What kind of power do those native inhabitants possess? And how powerful is the cultivation civilization they established?

This raises the question of how to deal with them: peaceful diplomatic relations? Military attack? Resource plunder? Colonial rule? These are all questions that Poisonous Death is currently considering.

Although he is old and shrewd, and appears exceptionally clever in some matters, Du Bu Si is actually not a particularly intellectual type and has little understanding of matters concerning the country and the regime.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Du Busi said to Huo Yuhao, "This matter is of great importance. The resource points in the ocean are not important. Entrusting them to the disciples of the sect to develop will be enough to sustain us for a long time."

"As for this new continent," Poison Undying sighed, "it's not something our Body Sect can handle alone. I still need to discuss the specific details with the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire."

"With the support of the Heavenly Soul Empire, our Body Sect can maximize the benefits we gain on this continent."

"After all, my Body Sect is just a sect. In terms of overall operational experience, it is far inferior to an empire with a long history."

"However, now that my Body Sect is the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, we can be said to share both glory and loss."

"Moreover, given the current resources of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family, they must rely on my Body Sect to obtain support in terms of high-end combat power."

Du Busi squinted and said. Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao nodded and skipped the topic, then said, "Besides this matter, I have another matter to report to Master."

"Having absorbed the sixth soul ring, my soul power has broken through level sixty-four. However, I am afraid that there will be little progress in the short term. Therefore, I wish to leave the sect and go out to gain some experience. I hope that Master will grant my request."

Poison Immortal raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean? Are there not enough disciples in the sect for you to test your skills on?"

"If you, Yuhao, look down on the strength of those disciples, then my main body sect still has stewards, and above the stewards are elders."

"Or else there are still two Super Douluo, Old Jin and your master, me. With your current cultivation and methods, you can be considered a strong person compared to ordinary people."

"But compared to those truly powerful forces with deep foundations, they are still far from being a match for us. How could I possibly let you go out and train alone like this?"

"Even those so-called prestigious and righteous schools, like Shrek Academy, have done their fair share of shady things in secret."

"Damn it, they've killed just as many 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, yet they've completely shifted the blame for the several beast tides onto our Body Sect."

"If these people discover your potential, I'm sure they'll definitely resort to bullying tactics!"

"Besides, I've tested your methods before, and they're already top-notch among your peers."

"Even among the older generation of Title Douluos, unless they are Super Douluos, their skills in using soul power are probably no match for yours. What need is there for them to undergo any so-called training?"

"Tell me, what exactly are you going out for? Stop giving me that crap!" Du Busi's face hardened, and he looked much more serious. He even used the swear words that he rarely used in front of Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao smiled awkwardly and quickly said, "The main problem is that even if I told you, I'm afraid you wouldn't believe me, Master."

"Although this trip is not for training, I have my reasons for wanting to leave the sect."

"Whether I believe it or not is my business. As for you, Yuhao, just say it." Poison Immortal waved his hand and said directly.

Then Huo Yuhao recited the prepared statement: "Previously, while hunting for my fourth spirit ring in the Star Dou Great Forest, I encountered a spirit beast of extraordinary abilities by chance, and then..."

Huo Yuhao then embellished his account of his encounter with the Emperor Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion and told Du Busi about 70-80% of it.

As for how he escaped and some key details, Huo Yuhao did not provide a detailed account.

Although Huo Yuhao's words contained many vague details, Du Busi did not delve into the details.

After all, he understood that everyone has their own secrets, and for a prodigy like Huo Yuhao, many of the opportunities he encountered were difficult to explain to outsiders.

Nevertheless, the information Huo Yuhao released at this moment was enough to surprise Du Busi: "Emperor Beast. So that's how it is, no wonder."

Humans actually value and believe in auspicious omens more than the soul beast race.

After all, compared to the soul beast race, which suffers greatly from the wrath of heaven and earth, humans, though short-lived, are more likely to experience the fortune brought by so-called auspicious beasts.

Among spirit beasts, only turtle-type spirit beasts respect creatures like the Golden Hawksbill Turtle, while other spirit beasts treat them with indifference.

After all, although the Golden Tortoiseshell itself possesses profound fortune, it cannot protect any area and is of little use to other soul beasts.

However, among humans, encountering auspicious beasts like the golden hawksbill turtle is already considered a stroke of incredible luck.

If, by chance, a human soul master can obtain their soul rings or soul bones, they will be blessed with good fortune, making their cultivation path smooth and unobstructed.

After all, compared to the long lifespan of soul beasts, the lifespan of humans is short, but it is precisely because of this that the power of destiny can bloom and erupt brilliantly, like oil being poured over a raging fire.

This is why the concept of auspicious omens has become widespread in the human world, and even the Body Sect only mentions imperial auspicious beasts in a few words in its sect records.

Because its appearance is so rare, and the chances of seeing it are extremely slim, the records at most mention that it is a Soul Beast Emperor, with noble destiny, and so on.

"So, after that, Yuhao, you'll be able to sense and influence the mysterious force of fate?" Du Busi asked, somewhat skeptical.

After all, although the belief in auspicious omens is prevalent in the human world, the so-called fortune is truly ethereal and elusive, yet people cannot help but believe in it.

Huo Yuhao nodded in affirmation, and then reported several special time points: "At these time points, I discovered that the fortune of our Body Sect was greatly shaken."

"However, I also used some of the fortune I gained from my previous contact with the auspicious beast to stabilize the fortune of my main sect."

The appearance of these time points mentioned by Huo Yuhao indeed cleared up the doubts about the inability to be poisoned to death, and made him believe what Huo Yuhao said.

The time points Huo Yuhao mentioned were the key moments when he led the Body Sect in planning the Mingde Hall.

That's why he was surprised, because some things he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

Moreover, apart from those who personally experienced these events, not only did Huo Yuhao remain within the sect and he himself never discussed these matters with him, but even the Grand Elder Jin Peng only knew the general outline of the matter.

"This is incredible! Our Body Sect is truly going to prosper this time! Hahaha, thanks to our ancestors, heaven has opened its eyes!"

"Immeasurable talent, once-in-a-millennium cultivation aptitude, plus immense luck upon him," Poison Undying couldn't help but think.

"This is truly a blessing from heaven for my Body Sect! With such a young sect leader, who can stop the rise of my Body Sect? Who dares to stand in our way!"

But then, with a hint of nervousness, Du Bu Si asked, "Yu Hao, do you know where this so-called opportunity of intertwined destiny you mentioned is located?"

"Is there any danger involved? Would you require my assistance?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao pretended to be thinking and then said, "If Master is willing to go with us, that would be wonderful. In that case, my chances of success will increase considerably."

In fact, Huo Yuhao had already decided before coming here to report to Du Busi that it would be best to bring Du Busi along on this trip.

After all, the place he was going to next would be extremely beneficial to Du Busi, so Du Busi naturally had to do his part.

"But Master, what about the New World?"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Du Busi frowned slightly, then relaxed and laughed, saying, "It's alright, it's alright, just leave everything to Lao Jin, just leave it to Lao Jin."

At this moment, Jin Peng had already finished coordinating a series of matters within the sect and had distributed the latest revised cultivation method to the disciples, but he had not yet had time to rest.

He is still working late into the night, writing letters in his study to contact and stabilize the emotions of his allies in the Body Sect alliance.

Because of the previous demand from Du Busi, Jin Peng united various forces and sects in the Tianhun Empire that possessed the ability to research soul tools, forming an alliance.

Although the alliance had been formed, Poison Undying, as the nominal leader of the alliance, kept postponing his meeting with everyone for various reasons, which aroused the dissatisfaction of many forces.

The looting of Mingde Hall could only be known to the royal family of the Tianhun Empire, so these grievances could only be dealt with by Jin Peng, who was in charge.

After all, if it were really Poison Undying's temper, and he were to handle the situation, the entire alliance would probably have to scatter on the spot.

To be precise, it should be that Du Busi beat him to pieces, since Du Busi is not a very good-tempered person.

At this moment, Jin Peng couldn't help but sneeze. However, as a Super Douluo, he should have been immune to all diseases. But for some reason, Jin Peng felt a chill down his spine.

And indeed, just as Jin Peng had sensed, early the next morning, he received orders from the other elders that the handyman manager would not poison him, seemingly given before he left the day before.

Thinking of the huge pile of things he hadn't finished dealing with, and the sect leader who had already left, Jin Peng could only sigh helplessly and continue to immerse himself in his busy work.

Poison Undying then led Huo Yuhao all the way to Sunset Forest, located in the Heavenly Soul Empire.

This place originally belonged to the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, but with the separation of the Heaven Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, this habitat of soul masters was assigned to the territory of the Heaven Soul Empire.

However, times have changed, and the Sunset Forest is no longer as glorious as it was ten thousand years ago. As the sun sets, the afterglow of the sunset falls on this habitat of soul beasts, making it seem quite lonely.

Nowadays, even ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are hard to find in the Sunset Forest.

Sensing the forest that seemed on the verge of death, Poisonous Undying frowned slightly: "Yuhao, are you sure you're not mistaken? This wretched place doesn't even have ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, how does it look like there's any opportunity here?"

"Even if the place of opportunity you mentioned, Yuhao, is the Star Dou Great Forest, I might believe it more."

Huo Yuhao nodded firmly and said, "Disciple believes in his abilities, and I think this is the place."

"That's easy. Let's explore a bit deeper, even if it doesn't really matter, just consider it as a way to help you relax."

After saying this, Du Busi led Huo Yuhao and flew deeper into the Sunset Forest once again.
