The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 368 Even the Divine Realm Is Not an Ideal Paradise

The realm of gods has no physical existence; it is a space formed by the mental power of various planes.

Even if a Soul Master becomes a god and comes here, it doesn't mean that their cultivation has reached its end.

Unless one advances to the level of a God-King, where the future is uncertain.

Among the many beings in the divine realm, the most numerous are undoubtedly ordinary priests and celestial hunters, with these two types numbering in the tens of thousands.

Although they could also be called gods.

However, most of them are either descendants of gods or relatives and friends from the mortal realm. They can enjoy the benefits brought by the divine realm, but they do not have their own status in the divine realm.

Unless their strength advances to the third level of godhood, they will always remain at the bottom of the god realm.

But is a divine position so easy to obtain?

There are only 1,847 positions for the third-level gods.

These positions are highly competitive, with many vying for them and no one considering succession until they have achieved their own success.

Unless they know they can't make any progress.

Even a third-level god only has a tiny bit of power in the god realm.

The only way to truly change one's social class is to become a second-level god.

Unlike third-level gods, priests, and celestial hunters, second-level gods already hold a certain status and possess many conveniences and rights.

However, they are still bound by rules and ruled by first-level gods and god-kings.

Therefore, for those with a strong sense of ambition, climbing the social ladder becomes the only option.

However, once you reach this level, every step forward is extremely difficult, far beyond the difficulty of advancing from a third-level god to a second-level god.

There are currently only eighteen first-level gods who have left their legacy in the lower realms, but they have two hundred and sixteen competitors.

The key point is that this competition is not only about cultivation level, but also about whether there are vacancies above and whether the other party will reserve the position for you.

Unless you are powerful enough to make the King of Gods expand the realm of gods.

Let's leave this last method aside, as it's far too difficult.

In the first three scenarios, cultivation level is important but relatively unimportant. After all, as long as one inherits the authority and faith of certain gods, it's only a matter of time before one's strength is increased by leveraging the primordial energy accumulated in the divine realm. (Commonly known as immortal spiritual energy)

Every god in the divine realm senses the same amount of primordial energy from heaven and earth, but the speed at which they absorb it varies from person to person.

To surpass one's peers, one must rely on other means: authority and faith.

Faith is easy to understand; as long as there are people who believe in it, it will continue to grow stronger.

Authority, on the other hand, is like that of the Asura God and the Rakshasa God, who draw power from slaughter and evil thoughts.

But if a god of a low rank can be promoted through authority, will his or her divine position still be that of a low-ranking god?

In the end, all attention could be focused on faith.

But how rare is faith? It requires the devotion of an ordinary person.

Moreover, there are rules in the divine realm that prohibit the gods of heaven from interfering in the mortal world.

This makes faith all the more precious.

On the very day the Sun and Moon Continent was unified, many gods noticed that their faith had diminished.

The Sea God, who was most deeply involved with Li Xun, also noticed the difference.

"What happened?"

Since being ambushed by the Asura God, the Sea God has been behaving himself for a long time, fearing a counterattack.

But recently he has felt that his faith seems to have diminished, which has puzzled him.

After casting his gaze down to the lower realm and observing that Li Xun was doing well and making rapid progress in his strength, he shifted his attention elsewhere.

He only realized what was happening when he saw the sea creatures devoutly worshipping Li Xun's statue in the icy sea.

"This kid," Poseidon said, somewhat amused and exasperated.

He never expected that his successor would intercept the faith before even taking office.

Isn't this just robbing yourself?

"Never mind, I probably won't be in this position for much longer anyway." Knowing the reason, Poseidon immediately withdrew his gaze.

Judging by the timeline, he won't be able to stay in this divine position for many more years.

Other gods might have felt resentful, but since he's already running away, let Li Xun do whatever he wants.

The eastern coast of Douluo Continent.

This is where Li Xun and Poseidon set off for the Sun and Moon Continent, and now they have set foot on this land once again.

After checking the Flying Thunder God mark left there, I added a few more in the shadows.

Li Xun, holding Poseidon's hand, disappeared from the spot.

The journey is most difficult on the way there, but as long as the pre-teleportation markers are properly placed, the return trip will undoubtedly be ten times faster.

With a swift movement, the two figures suddenly appeared at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's headquarters in Heaven Dou City.

Seeing this familiar surroundings, Li Xun took a deep breath and felt a strong sense of warmth and comfort.

"If there's nothing else, shall I go back and rest?"

Poseidon gently pulled her hand away from that large hand and brushed her disheveled hair behind her back.

Through fighting side by side and spending time together in a foreign country, she had become somewhat accustomed to this action.

However, given the age difference between the two, it's inevitable that misunderstandings might arise if they were seen together by acquaintances.

"Thank you, you've worked hard." Li Xun smiled at Poseidon.

The two cooperated very well on this trip to the Sun and Moon Continent, saving him a lot of trouble.

This made him glad he made that choice.

"Don't mention it, go ahead and get busy." With that, Poseidon slowly returned to her room.

Li Xun smiled, and his figure disappeared again.

However, this time he reappeared in the same spot only half an hour later. He was no longer holding Poseidon's hand, but rather two huge ice balls, each about thirty meters long.

It was he and Poseidon who sealed away the Evil Eye Tyrant.

Looking at the sky, and realizing there was still some time before dawn, Li Xun simply returned to his room.

I opened the door and, through the faint morning light, discovered that there was no one else in my room.

Although surprised, Li Xun also enjoyed this rare moment of peace and quiet, and after washing up, he fell into a deep sleep.

The two continents are far apart, and their time zones are also slightly different.

Although these powerful individuals are incredibly energetic, cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation; one cannot always keep oneself taut like a string.

In particular, Li Xun had many clones left outside, which further increased his mental burden.

The latest novel is first published here!

These clones left outside are also quite crucial, not only studying cultivation techniques and absorbing the power of nature day and night, but also bearing the responsibility of observing the stability of the Sun and Moon Continent.

Fortunately, it was all worth it.

The second-generation Soul Power Meditation Method, which is about to be completed, will, in the future, far surpass the first version of the meditation method that Li Xun is currently using.

Once he breaks through the last point, he will have three times the cultivation speed of others at the same level, and he will also break the existing pattern of the Douluo Meditation Method.

Li Xun was awakened by a soft footstep.

With his level of cultivation, no matter how careful the opponent is, they cannot escape his body's instinctive self-protection.

Did I wake you up?

"It's okay, I've had enough sleep." Li Xun opened his eyes and saw Zhu Zhuqing carefully closing the door and backing away.

"Why didn't you say you were coming back? If we hadn't seen those two spirit beasts in the yard, we wouldn't have known you were back."

Zhu Zhuqing gently pushed the door open, turned around and closed it tightly, then walked to the wardrobe and began to select clothes.

Li Xun glanced at the clock on the wall: "I just got back an hour ago. I saw you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't disturb you."

She turned to the side, covering her head with her hand, watching Zhu Zhuqing's busy figure: "But I was only gone for four months, how come there's no one in this room anymore?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing, clutching the clothes, turned and glared at Li Xun: "One bed per room, how are so many people supposed to stay?"

After saying that, he put the clothes on the bedside table.

"That's right, there are fewer people now." Li Xun reached out and grabbed Zhu Zhuqing, who was about to leave.

"Now everyone knows you're back, right?"

Although the early winter sun wasn't very strong, it still felt warm on the skin.

A large group of people had gathered in the backyard of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's residence, discussing something around two huge ice balls.

The Evil Eye Clan is a species from the Sun Moon Continent, and there are no records of them in the Douluo Continent. Therefore, the age and race of these two soul beasts have become a source of interest for everyone.

"These two soul beasts must have a cultivation of at least 100,000 years." Poison Douluo stroked his beard and looked around.

"Although they are huge, I didn't sense any ferocity from them, so I don't think they are 100,000-year-old soul beasts."

Bone Douluo frowned, and with a flick of his hand, left a mark on the ice ball: "Although this ice is cold, it probably can't trap them with the abilities of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. It must have some special purpose."

"You really don't understand Xiao Xun at all, since you rarely go out with him!" Dugu Bo glanced at Bone Douluo.

"Would that kid go to such lengths to bring back two useless soul beasts? Besides, I've personally captured 100,000-year-old soul beasts, so my perception of soul beasts is naturally more acute."

"The Poison Master is right." Sword Douluo's lips curled into a smile, as if he were absolutely certain.

Bone Douluo's expression froze. They had been having a serious discussion, but he hadn't expected these two old men to bring things up like this.

He clenched his fist, his gaze sweeping over Sword Douluo: "Poison Elder, it seems your cultivation has been stuck at level ninety-five for three years without any progress, hasn't it?"

"How about we practice later? After all, pressure is a motivator."

"I'm quite satisfied with my current cultivation level. If the Bone Worshipper wants to improve, why not try seeking out the Sword Worshipper?"

Poison Douluo didn't care at all.

"I think it's a good idea." Sword Douluo's eyes lit up as he crossed his arms and looked at Bone Douluo.

This sect is no longer a place I can stay.

Bone Douluo looked at the two old bastards opposite him, his teeth itching with hatred, but he felt like he had punched cotton.

Moreover, Ning Fengzhi and the group of younger generation acted as if it had nothing to do with them.

"Xiao Xun is here, let him talk to you."

Ning Fengzhi wasn't unaware of the resentment in Bone Douluo's eyes, but this wasn't the first or second time this had happened.

Seeing Li Xun approaching, Ning Fengzhi quickly moved away from the three of them.

Without keeping everyone in suspense, Li Xun immediately recounted his experiences and observations along the way to everyone.

"I never expected you to encounter so many things on this trip."

Ning Fengzhi looked at the map in his hand with amazement.

A new continent even larger than Douluo Continent, which had just been unified, was all accomplished by Li Xun in less than four months.

"These two soul beasts are special products of the Sun Moon Continent. One is 100,000 years old and the other is 200,000 years old. They are the soul rings I prepared for Rongrong."

"Brother, do you think these two big eyeballs were prepared for me?"

Ning Rongrong, who was following behind Li Xun, opened her mouth slightly and for a moment forgot her dissatisfaction when she called out to him and Zhu Zhuqing.
