Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Tian Hao nodded and explained, "Sword intent is just a way of expressing will. Its root lies in our will and intention. The intent of the staff also certainly exists, but it is difficult to cultivate the intent of the staff directly. You can first find a spiritual attribute that is compatible with the use of the staff, continuously improve and refine it, and finally transform it into the intent of the staff."

Almost any attribute of will requires cultivation based on the attribute of spirit; as long as the right one is chosen, it can be cultivated and transformed.

As a time traveler, Tian Hao has a unique advantage in this regard. He can use the various settings and ideas from novels, anime, and TV dramas from his previous life to fool people. Whether it can come true or not is another matter, but it sounds very feasible.

"almost?"

Qingluan Douluo noticed a key point. He agreed with the idea of ​​the will attribute, since sword intent did indeed exceed the scope of normal mental attributes. But what exactly did "almost" mean?

Could it be that there is a willpower attribute that can be directly cultivated?

"Some willpower-related attributes can be possessed directly, such as killing intent, battle intent, and rage, but they are very weak in the early stages and it is difficult to improve them. My god's divine attribute is also of this type, which can be called divine will."

As he spoke, Tian Hao unleashed his killing intent.

After the carnage of the Battle of Tiandou City, his killing intent was greatly honed. Although it was still far from sword intent, it had barely reached the threshold of the will level.

"War intent."

His fingers twirled and played with the shrunken Martial Soul Dragon Staff, while he pondered the willpower attribute of battle intent.

He will find it difficult to master the essence of the staff in a short time, but as a warlike person, he has no shortage of fighting spirit, which he may be able to transform into will first.

The Thousand-Pound Douluo shared the same thought; compared to the staff intent which had no foundation yet, the path of cultivating battle intent was much more favorable to them.

It wasn't just Qianjun and the Demon-Slaying Brothers who had this idea; Golden Crocodile Douluo and Lion Douluo also had their eyes on the battle intent, as they were both warlike individuals.

"If you have any other good ideas, just say them."

After thinking for a while, Jiangmo pressed on again, saying that since the little guy had said he had a few ideas, there must be more than two.

"The third idea is your Martial Soul, the Panlong Staff. Your kind of beast-type Martial Soul can generally evolve into two Martial Soul True Forms: either a beast form or a pure weapon-type Martial Soul."

This is a manifestation of not being perfectly integrated into one. Based on this, I speculate that the two can be separated and re-evolved into dual martial souls.

I call it a Soul Splitting Technique, which is the complete opposite of a Soul Fusion Technique.

The normal state of a Martial Soul Fusion Skill is two independent Martial Souls, and the fusion is a temporary state. The Martial Soul Splitting Skill is the opposite: the Martial Soul Fusion state is the normal state, and the split state is a temporary state.

However, the martial soul bloodline that has already merged and transformed cannot be separated. The resulting dual martial souls will definitely be different from normal twin martial souls. I don't know what the specific results will be. It's just a guess at the moment. Whether it will succeed or not, the two grandfathers will have to figure it out themselves.

In addition, when splitting, the two grandfathers need to pay attention to the distribution of the original spirit rings, and when adding new spirit rings, they must also correspond to the original spirit rings so that they can complement each other, or at least not conflict with each other.

When this split state ends and the spirit rings return to a fused state, it should also allow for further enhancement.

Tian Hao revealed his conjecture about the Martial Soul Splitting Technique, saying that his inspiration came from the peerless Dragon and Snake couple and the future Snake Spear Douluo.

The couple, the Peerless Dragon and the Snake, can transform into a divine dragon in the form of a beast-type martial soul after using their martial soul fusion skill. Furthermore, the Snake Spear Douluo possesses two true forms of martial souls, which is the special feature of beast-type weapon martial souls.

"It's a completely new concept, but the audience is limited."

Guangling sighed. Although this kind of martial soul splitting technique is only suitable for special martial souls like the Thousand Jun Demon Subduing duo, it has to be admitted that its potential is not bad. It solves the problem that these kinds of soul masters cannot cultivate twin martial souls, and it is even more powerful than the direction of martial soul fusion that he himself had.

After all, even if he breaks through the bottleneck of soul power level by using the transformation of martial soul fusion, it is only temporary. After the martial soul fusion skill ends, he will return to his original form and will have to honestly cultivate and break through.

However, the two of them, Qianjun Jiangmo, did not need to do that. Their Martial Soul Fusion state was normal for them. Once they broke through, it was a real breakthrough. They only needed to split their Martial Souls and cultivate both of them to their level limits, which was much simpler.

It is foreseeable that those two will make a rapid leap forward next.

"I should have come to find you sooner."

With a slap on Tian Hao's shoulder, Jiang Mo looked annoyed.

If they had come and talked to this kid a few years earlier, the two brothers wouldn't have been stuck at level 95 for so long.

Qianjun Douluo was also quite frustrated, and felt that the two brothers were really foolish, wasting several years of their lives.

Tian Hao was also frustrated, and the source of his frustration was his shoulder.

That slap was so hard that I lost all feeling in my shoulder.

"My last piece of advice is not only for the two grandfathers, but also for you, Second Grandfather. It may be a little harsh."

After glancing at the people present, Tian Hao hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"To be frank, we're all family, no need to stand on ceremony. If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll beat them to death first."

The most senior Golden Crocodile Douluo spoke up, glaring at others as he spoke, indicating his willingness to support his adopted grandson.

"We're all getting on in years, what's there to be ashamed of?"

Lion Douluo laughed, taking it all in stride.

Having lived to this age, what storms haven't I weathered?

Guangling and the others nodded in agreement, saying they had no problem and wouldn't mind anything.

Chapter 248 The Wrath of the Goddess

"Then I'll tell you!"

Seeing that everyone nodded, Tian Hao then said, "From my observation, the grandfathers and most of the strong people in our Spirit Hall have a common problem: arrogance. Some are even too arrogant, believing that spirit power level can represent everything, which I think is wrong."

Leaving aside the future, this idea is not entirely correct even in the past, because there are still many ways in the world that allow Soul Masters to fight beyond their level.

For example, soul bones. If a soul master has a full set of 100,000-year soul bones, he can definitely defeat the strong with the weak. Not to mention, there are also self-created soul skills and secret techniques that can fight beyond their level, such as the Killing Word Technique of the Battle Soul Sect and the Great Sumeru Hammer of the Clear Sky Sect.

Even setting aside these secret techniques, there are some Soul Masters who have developed to an extreme. For example, among the four major families under the Clear Sky Sect, the Soul Breaking Clan's Soul Breaking Spear Soul Skill is all attack-type. As long as they reach the Soul Douluo level, they can fight head-on with Title Douluo.

Now, the gods of the divine realm have slowly begun to intervene in our world. Although only the high priest of Seagod Island has been exposed so far, who knows how many similar beings are hiding in the shadows.

Our future enemies will likely be representatives of the gods, such as the High Priest or the High Priest of Poseidon Island, or even the chosen successors to the divine throne.

Such beings cannot be measured by the Soul Master level system in terms of their combat power. If they also possess a divine artifact, fighting beyond their level is as easy as eating and drinking for them. Our Soul Masters' weapon spirits alone are absolutely no match for divine artifacts.

It's even possible that while the battle is raging, the gods of the divine realm are secretly assisting their representatives and successors in increasing their combat power. Even if they are killed, the gods could probably still manage to rise from the dead.

Therefore, we need to take every enemy and every battle seriously, and we can no longer measure them with the same old perspective.

Grandpas, times have changed!

In the end, Tian Hao couldn't help but think of the fates of these characters in the original work, which is a common problem for most villains in novels. They repeatedly give the protagonist group opportunities to grow, almost turning them into whetstones, and in the end, they are killed by the grown-up protagonist group.

This mistake must never be made. Once we have identified an enemy and there are no deeper schemes against them, we must kill them at all costs, and we must not waste any words.

The group remained silent for a long time after hearing this. Guangling, who had been ganged up on by the patriarchs of the four major families, was the most deeply moved, especially the patriarch of the Po clan.

Although it was only at level 91 in terms of soul power, the combined attack power of its nine attack-type soul skills was comparable to that of a level 96 Super Douluo. The other three also proved to be quite formidable.

If it's just a one-on-one fight, he has plenty of ways to defeat them, but when they come together and cooperate, leveraging each other's strengths and compensating for each other's weaknesses, the power they can unleash is astonishing and unsolvable.

"Yes, times have changed, and we must change as well, or we will surely be eliminated by the new era."

After a long silence, Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed, "The times are indeed changing."

The others also had mixed feelings.

"Is there anything else you want to say? Say it all."

Encouraging Tian Hao to continue, Golden Crocodile Douluo agreed with his grandson's opinion.

These old folks have such rigid thinking; we need to listen to what the young people have to say.

"There is one more thing. I think it's unnecessary for you grandfathers to keep referring to yourselves as 'old men'. Our goal is to become gods. Even the simplest level 100 godhood can grant a long lifespan. Compared to that lifespan, your age is really nothing."

And you really don't age; compared to our gods, you're like infants..."

As Tian Hao spoke, he glanced at Guang Ling across from him. He always felt uncomfortable whenever this Fifth Uncle referred to himself as "this old man."

However, these words clearly angered a certain female deity, and before she could finish speaking, a large crystal crashed down, slamming his entire body into the ground.

"..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others twitched their eyes, not daring to speak, they could all guess that it must be a punishment sent down by that goddess in anger.

Sure enough, even goddesses don't like anything associated with the word "old".

"Thank God for the blessing!"

Coming to his senses, Tian Hao retrieved the oversized angelic power crystal that had hit him, bowed in gratitude towards the direction of the Angelic Temple, and inwardly sighed at his carelessness, realizing that the goddess had been eavesdropping.

"I'll go and study those Title Douluos I captured last time, especially the Soul Master with the Mirror Martial Soul. All of her Soul Skills are spatial attribute, which is very rare and suitable for me."

Guangling changed the subject, talking about the titled Douluo they had captured last time.

Last time, even without using his martial soul, he defeated several titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire, leaving only Dai Tiehu. When he returned to Heaven Dou City for the second time to find Tian Hao, he even crippled the patriarch of the Power Clan and captured him.

Those people were mostly crippled, and he collected them and preserved them until now.

He was most interested in the woman with the Mirror Martial Soul; whether he could develop his own space-themed sword technique depended on this.

"Then Fifth Grandfather, you need to go find Brother Yue first and trade some medicinal power with Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Lu to cultivate X-ray vision. That X-ray vision has some spatial attributes, which is a good match for your soul bone skill."

My gaze fell on Guangling's left eye, where the soul bone and soul skill of her head were located.

When this Fifth Uncle was hunting for his fifth soul ring, he obtained a head soul bone. When used in combination with his fifth soul skill, Perfect Arrival, it was very powerful. The previous Hundred Steps Flying Sword was a copy of this.

That soul bone skill is essentially the same as the X-ray vision of the Eye of the Dewdrop, both having some spatial attributes. However, the X-ray vision of that soul bone skill is greatly limited, only able to lock onto the enemy's heart and vital organs, unable to see through other parts, making it far less powerful than the Eye of the Dewdrop.

"I'll go find him now."

Guangling promptly got up and went to talk to Yueguan.

"This old man... cough cough, I'm going to feed the fish!"

"I need to put this batch of wine into the cellar as soon as possible."

"I'm going to find Chen Xin to discuss the path to the unity of man and staff!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others made excuses to leave one after another. They had no choice; since they already knew that their goddess was eavesdropping in secret, it was very uncomfortable to stay here any longer. They would be in trouble if they were punished by the gods for saying something wrong.

"..."

Completely bewildered as he watched his adopted grandfathers run away, Tian Hao wanted to complain. It was one thing for Qingluan Douluo and Qianjun Douluo to be quiet and not make excuses, but couldn't the other three at least put some effort into their excuses, especially Second Grandfather?

What fish will you feed when you get back?

Crocodiles?

He complained inwardly, but it didn't stop him from eating, while his mind kept working.

"Grandpa is still putting on a show outside the Star Dou Great Forest, but he won't be able to do it for long. Now we'll see how much importance the Star Luo Empire attaches to the army that stayed in Tian Dou."

Thinking about the battle situation in the four kingdoms of Tiandou, Tian Hao estimated that it would take several more months to annihilate the remaining Star Luo army.

Meanwhile, the Star Luo Empire is also gathering a large army to go to the rescue, but given the current state of transportation within the four kingdoms of Tian Dou, which have been almost completely destroyed, it will be difficult for them to get there in time.
