The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 241 Heaven Dou Policy X Decisions Regarding the Spirit Hall X and the Land of Freedom

Four soul skills that suit me? Li Xun became interested.

Huo Yuhao's four soul skills were naturally known to him, but he did not expect that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm would still have the strength to make some adjustments.

"Hmph!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm circled around Li Xun triumphantly in his spiritual sea of ​​consciousness: "Just now, at the moment of fusion, I studied your second martial soul. Although this martial soul has a talent like a rule, its shortcomings are also very obvious."

"Fortunately, I have a vast amount of energy, and it would be a waste to dissipate the excess, so I forcibly used this energy to make some minor adjustments. How about it, isn't my nearly million-year-old soul beast powerful?"

"The first three skills I'll give you are mental detection, mental sharing, and mental interference."

"The fourth is mental lock, which uses mental power to mark the enemy. This way, even if you withdraw your detection skill, you can still sense the enemy's location and launch an attack accurately."

Li Xun stroked his chin. Aside from the fourth skill, the rest was largely the same as the original, except for the replacement of the Mental Impact skill. However, given that Tianmeng didn't have a god-like perspective, achieving this was truly remarkable.

Moreover, his mental strength is not weak, and with the amplification from the Blue Silver King's Skull, the first three skills can also provide him with some assistance.

More importantly, through Tianmeng, he also learned more specific details about his second martial soul: the reshaping of his martial soul.

Opening his eyes, Li Xun stared blankly at the exquisite ice needle in his hand. Weighing it, he aimed carefully, and the ice needle instantly flew from his grasp, transforming into a white streak and disappearing before his eyes.

With Tianmeng's blessing, Li Xun's spiritual power can detect further, and the feedback images are more detailed.

He easily found the location of the Ice Soul Silver Needle on a tree a kilometer away, and that was without using his full strength.

Not only that, after being transformed by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, the second martial soul, which originally had no attributes, also changed. The ice needles emitted wisps of coldness all around, and the trees were freezing over at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that making Tianmeng the first spirit ring of his second martial soul was indeed the right choice.

If you only focus on violently acquiring spirit rings, you might miss out on a lot.

Standing up, Li Xun gave Sword Douluo a reassuring look and slowly walked to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

He hadn't been here for a long time, and the roots of the immortal plants he had left behind had already sprouted new shoots.

The Blue Silver Emperor, nurtured by the unique environment of this place, has grown to about five meters tall, and even the Blue Silver King has begun to grow vigorously.

.........

The Heaven Dou Empire has seen a flourishing development in recent years, mainly due to the empire's suppression of crimes committed by Soul Masters, which has led to a more stable living environment for ordinary people.

Since ancient times, Soul Masters have been known for their martial prowess. In everyone's mind, becoming a Soul Master means escaping poverty. If they don't have something, they'll steal it; if they can't get it, they'll take it. Land consolidation, raiding transport guilds, abducting women—such things are commonplace.

This kind of thing only happens to the lower classes; the nobles and emperors who are high above them choose to turn a blind eye.

The empire cannot afford to offend Soul Masters, nor can it stand against them.

However, since the Crown Prince ascended the throne and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School became the empire's protector, such underhanded dealings have decreased significantly.

First, new laws were enacted, treating commoners and soul masters equally. Later, the Xunyang Tower blacklist was made more widely available. Now, anyone on this list is subject to local investigation, and if a criminal record is discovered, they will be sent to prison.

However, this approach will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among certain groups, but due to the size of the Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they can only choose to remain silent.

Some extreme Soul Masters, while hurling insults, headed off to the more liberated Star Luo Empire. Heaven Dou, of course, didn't care about such things; after all, these Soul Masters didn't contribute anything to the country, and their absence reduced crime and oppression.

However, some Soul Masters with fierce ambitions would naturally not be willing to accept this.

Rumors of the Killing Capital began circulating throughout the continent at some unknown time. People widely believed that it was a place of great freedom, where crimes went unpunished, and the most open place on the entire continent.

Qian Renxue gazed at the angel statue on the desk. She was promoting the belief in this deity in the Heavenly Dou Empire, and the results were surprisingly smooth.

Although people didn't understand why they should believe in a god similar to the Spirit Hall, most didn't object. Qian Renxue believed that if they persisted, the Angel God would inevitably become the sole deity of the continent.

"His Majesty?"

A call interrupted Qian Renxue's reverie about the future. She turned to look at Li Xun and Ning Fengzhi: "Teacher, where were we?"

"Do you have any intention of returning to the Spirit Hall?" Ning Fengzhi asked tentatively.

"Teacher, don't worry, I have no such plans. I think if the Empire continues to develop like this, merging the Spirit Hall into the Heaven Dou Sect might not be a bad option."

Qian Renxue revealed a playful smile: "The Pope's power is already immense. If I were to hand over Tiandou to her, who knows what might happen."

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Besides, the Spirit Hall should have been inherited by me in the first place, so why should I hand over power to her?"

Qian Renxue closed her eyes, recalling the information she had received from inside the Spirit Hall: "Let her and that Hu Liena play their game of pretending to be the Pope!"

It seems that power can indeed change people. Li Xun and Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance.

However, Bibi Dong's actions were indeed rather unseemly. The Spirit Hall is a lineage, and even if you don't want to acknowledge Qian Renxue as your daughter, what do you mean by intending to pass the position of Pope to an outsider? Although Bibi Dong hasn't announced it yet, the Spirit Hall already knows about the Pope's intentions.

It's no wonder Qian Renxue is thinking so much now. If Bibi Dong takes the position of Grand Elder after Qian Daoliu dies, and Hu Liena inherits the position of Pope, how is Qian Renxue, as the legitimate heir, supposed to position herself in the Spirit Hall?

Although it's just some internal gossip right now, some things don't happen out of nowhere. Qian Renxue naturally understands this principle.

"Since His Majesty is not prepared to return to the Spirit Hall, then we, the Heaven Dou Empire, must make plans as soon as possible."

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then said in a low voice, "You also know what the Spirit Hall is going to do next. If they seize Xingluo, your current advantage will be greatly reduced."

"I suggest that Tian Dou strike first to gain the upper hand. That way, no matter what happens in the future, the initiative will always be in your hands."

"Moreover, Star Luo has been expanding its factories on a large scale in the past two months to manufacture weapons. I suspect that it is very likely that after the Clear Sky Sect joined the Star Luo Empire, Tang San taught the Star Luo royal family how to make hidden weapons."

The most prestigious blacksmith guild on the mainland is currently located in Xingluo. Given time, the weapons they produce may very well cause trouble for our Tiandou.

At this point, Ning Fengzhi's eyes shone brightly, and an imposing aura arose spontaneously: "The Spirit Hall's plan has at least three more years to go. I think Heaven Dou should take advantage of His Holiness the Pope's actions to seize Star Luo, or at the very least, tear off a large chunk of its territory."
