Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 494 Tang San May Be Even More Incompetent Than Speculated (Daily 10,000 words)

The closer he got, the stronger the sense of oppression that the peak exerted on Huo Yuhao. Its towering and majestic presence seemed like a pillar connecting heaven and earth.

Landing on the gentle slope, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong put away their flying soul tools. Huo Yuhao looked around and saw a sea of ​​clouds floating above his head, as if he could reach out and touch it.

Even here, the altitude is probably close to two thousand meters, and we still don't know how high the peaks above the sea of ​​clouds are.

The last time Huo Yuhao went this high, he was riding in a giant scarecrow train. Judging from that scarecrow train, which was as tall as the mountains and thousands of meters high, the Sakura Dragon could really beat up the local Ashina plant gods, such as the White Serpent God.

So, even though the Sakura Dragon is so powerful, it was still beaten so badly by those beings from the Western Dragon's homeland that it fled all the way to Ashina. Just how powerful are those beings from the Western Dragon's homeland?

Looking at the rolling sea of ​​clouds, Huo Yuhao seemed to be deep in thought, but he was not in a hurry to comprehend this insight. Instead, he asked Electrolux a question.

"Old Master Yi, have you noticed anything wrong?"

As he asked the questions, Huo Yuhao activated his mental detection.

This realization startled him. To his astonishment, he discovered that his mental detection revealed nothingness around him; he couldn't sense anything at all, not even himself or Wang Dong.

It was as if the two of them were floating entirely in the clouds. Yet, they were clearly standing firmly on the ground, on the mountain.

Huo Yuhao quickly increased the intensity of his mental detection and activated the Eye of Destiny. Since acquiring the mental detection soul skill, he had almost never made a mistake, and he didn't believe that his mental detection couldn't even handle Yun.

However, when his Eye of Destiny opened, his shock only intensified. He had indeed detected something different. But the only change was in the color of the clouds.

All the clouds turned golden under the gaze of the Eye of Fate, giving him the feeling that the Eye of Fate could not grasp the fate of the places covered by these clouds, and that he could see nothing at all.

Even though he tried his best to extend his detection range, the clouds and mist seemed to have no end.

"Hehe, you can't see anything, can you? Let me take a look."

After saying that, Electrolux fell silent, but Huo Yuhao clearly felt a force spreading forward along his sea of ​​consciousness.

"Hmm, Grand Master Qian, does your Spirit Hall possess anything like 'Immortal Spiritual Energy,' or rather, 'Divine Realm Primordial Energy'?"

Qian Daoliu quickly shook his head. There was no such thing in the Spirit Hall's inheritance grounds, let alone in the Spirit Hall itself.

Electrolux nodded upon hearing this: "That makes things easier. There's a high probability that Tang San left behind a contingency plan within the Haotian Sect. The spiritual energy here is extremely dense, and there's also an energy condensate that's far superior to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."

"Since the Spirit Hall didn't have this kind of power before, this high-level power must have been illegally sent down by the other party. Yuhao, you can try circulating your soul power."

Huo Yuhao slightly circulated his soul power. The abundant and powerful soul power surged into Huo Yuhao's body, almost causing him to faint from the sheer volume. He was a little overwhelmed by the spiritual energy. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the Haotian Sect was even more abundant than that within the Golden Ancient Tree!

"The reason why Tang San was able to create such a rich cultivation environment is different from Shrek Academy, which relies on the Golden Tree, and Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, which uses a giant soul power compression collector. He simply obtained some high-level energy from the God Realm and let this power slowly dissipate."

"Yuhao, it's normal that your mental detection failed. Your mental power has not yet transformed into divine consciousness, so there are many things you can't perceive."

Electrolux chuckled before continuing, "This Tang San seems a bit weaker than I thought. I think our chances of winning are much better now."

Huo Yuhao was completely baffled by Electrolux's words.

"Old Master Yi, why do you say that?"

Electrox said, "This guy probably doesn't have many of the methods a god should have. That 'divine energy' wasn't slowly spreading outwards as the central point of the array, but rather placed on a very technically advanced pillar. It's a bit far away, so I can't quite feel it."

"In short, this guy probably doesn't even know how to set up a magic array, and he didn't even collect the power that dissipated. He probably used it to feed the bird spirit beasts in the cloud sea. This is the downside of the spirit ring system. Apart from spirit skills, many spirit masters, even if they become gods at level 100, still won't know what they're supposed to know."

"I think that pillar might not have been made by him either. Perhaps it's the legacy pillar that the Thousand Festival mentioned before. Hmm, I can't sense anything else for now, but I guess we might be able to figure out his background all at once this time—if this guy is really as useless as I think."

Huo Yuhao was speechless upon hearing Electrolux's words.

Is your divine sense so effective that you can not only distribute it to the entire undead army for subtle battlefield micro-management, but also break through the limitations of these clouds and mist to perceive so many things?

After walking with Wang Dong for a while, the view suddenly opened up before him. Looking up, he saw a castle.

Yes, about 300 meters directly overhead, atop a mountain suspended above this sea of ​​clouds, stands a majestic castle.

The gray castle exuded an ancient charm, possessing an imposing presence. Amidst the drifting sea of ​​clouds and the steep mountain slopes, Huo Yuhao could not fathom how this castle had been built.

Perhaps once the battery life of the rotorcraft drone that I can remotely control with my mental power is improved, I can install a few robotic arms to complete a replica. However, without something as good as a rotorcraft, it would be too incredible to build such a structure.

Led by Wang Dong, the two continued climbing. A height of several hundred meters was nothing, and in no time, they finally reached the top of the mountain and arrived in front of the miraculous castle.

At the summit, the mountain wind was even more biting, carrying a heavy dampness. But no matter how the wind blew, the castle standing proudly in the center of the summit remained steadfast.

Above the castle's arched gate are three large characters: "Haotian Castle".

"The abilities of the Yu clan are truly incredible."

Huo Yuhao didn't say much. According to Qian Daoliu, the Yu Clan's expertise in construction was unparalleled. The clan leader, Niu Yeye, had once helped the Spirit Hall build many buildings. Unfortunately, he later followed the Clear Sky Sect and then the Tang Sect. After many twists and turns, he disappeared into the long river of history.
