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

He is currently researching how to create artificial diamonds.

"If you want diamonds, that's not impossible."

Upon hearing the word "diamond," Hu Yanzhen hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at his father. Only after receiving a nod from his father did he speak.

"I need a lot of diamonds, and they have to be made into those super-sized meteor hammers. The old man said these things are very expensive outside."

Hu Yanzhen's expression and words puzzled Tian Hao. What kind of riddle was this guy playing?

"I could make you a hammer out of diamonds, or even build you a castle out of diamonds."

His words revealed absolute confidence. Hu Yanzhen couldn't guarantee anything else, but diamonds were something they truly had no shortage of.

Don't forget, their Elephant Armor Sect's martial spirit is called the Diamond Mammoth.

Chapter 344 Seed of Soul Power

"So this mountain is actually a huge diamond?"

Led by Huyan Zhen into the interior of the mountain where the Elephant Armor Sect was located, Tian Hao's expression was quite interesting as he looked at the crystal-clear expanse before him.

He had previously read intelligence about the Elephant Armor Sect and knew that the sect was indeed a diamond supplier for the entire continent, cooperating with almost all jewelry stores. At that time, he guessed that the Elephant Armor Sect must have a lot of diamond mines, and the intelligence reports did indeed confirm this.

But what I really didn't expect was that what they owned wasn't a diamond mine, but a mountain of diamonds, and the kind with extremely high purity, without a single impurity.

However, it's not hard to understand why diamonds are so precious. The reason they are so rare is that very few can be mined from the Earth's surface. In fact, the reserves of diamonds are not low, but rather quite large. They are just buried very deep.

Moreover, there are plenty of diamonds hidden on the surface of the earth. If they were mined at full capacity, the price of diamonds could be driven down to dirt cheap. It's just that some people keep them expensive, making many people kneel down in despair.

It's important to know that this thing is a product of carbon under high temperature and pressure. Carbon is very common in the world. Humans are carbon-based life forms, and many parts of our bodies can even be made into diamonds.

However, a diamond the size of a mountain is truly rare, which just goes to show that this is indeed a strange world where cultivation civilization exists.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has a strong ability to appraise treasures because their martial souls are very strong, while our Elephant Armor School has a strong ability to sense diamonds. Cultivating in places with many diamonds will be somewhat beneficial, which is equivalent to a kind of simulated training ground."

After our ancestors discovered this diamond mountain, they established their settlement here and mined the diamonds to sell. Unfortunately, there were too few buyers for diamonds, and selling too many would cause the price to drop drastically. The money earned was only enough to maintain the sect's current needs, leaving no room for expansion.

As Hu Yanzhen led Tian Hao through the tunnel dug out of Diamond Mountain, he sighed in frustration.

While diamonds are valuable, that's because they're rare in the market. If you were to sell them in large quantities, the price of diamonds would immediately drop, making it a losing proposition.

Furthermore, only the nobility can afford these luxury goods, and among the many luxury items, jewelry is only one type, and diamonds are only one type of jewelry, accounting for a small proportion of luxury goods.

Therefore, they can only sell a small amount of diamonds each year, and they don't make much money.

"Diamonds are good things. They have a very high compatibility with my earth soul power. I can use earth soul power to increase the strength and weight of diamonds. They are good materials for making weapons."

Picking up a diamond, Tian Hao spoke as he infused it with earth soul power using a special technique.

The originally colorless and transparent diamond gradually developed a layer of earthy yellow, and the color became more and more intense, exuding a heavy aura.

A few months ago, after he cultivated the Earth Soul Power, he began to look for materials that were compatible with it. He eventually found that it was diamonds. In addition, there were various jade and gemstones, but their compatibility was slightly worse than that of diamonds.

To be precise, adding weight to a diamond doesn't actually increase the weight of the diamond itself, but rather the weight of the earth's soul power.

The earth's soul power's weighty nature comes from the Clear Sky Hammer. The Clear Sky Hammer's characteristic is that it increases in weight as the quality and quantity of soul power it infuses increase. This characteristic is obviously also carried over into the earth's soul power.

However, there are not many materials that can resonate and fuse with the earth's soul power. Only diamonds can perfectly fuse with and continuously infuse soul power, and the higher the purity, the higher the compatibility.

Of course, it is not easy to integrate the earth's soul power into it; a secret technique is required.

This secret method was developed by Tian Hao based on his research into the subtle aspects of special materials. It can mimic the influence of the primordial energy of heaven and earth and the power of various elements in nature on matter, transforming it into special materials.

By utilizing the methods of nurturing special materials in nature, and by using one's own soul power to cultivate substances with high compatibility, one can ultimately transform them into special substances.

In order to nurture the diamond, he even specially sought out gemstone-type soul bones for research, and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda also provided a lot of data in this regard.

Can I try it?

Seeing the changes in the diamond, Hu Yanzhen became very curious.

They used to regard diamonds only as a form of wealth and an aid to cultivation, but they never expected that diamonds could be fused with soul power, at least with that kid's soul power.

Tian Hao naturally wouldn't refuse and handed over the diamond, which was infused with a lot of earth soul power.

After taking the yellowish-brown diamond and weighing it in his hand, Hu Yanzhen could immediately sense that it was one or two tenths heavier than a normal diamond.

"It's a good thing, but unfortunately, your kind of soul power is unique to your Vajra Sect."

After playing with it for a while, Hu Yanzhen felt regretful.

This is indeed a good approach, but unfortunately, diamonds only react to that kind of soul power, which should be unique to the Vajra Dragon Elephant Martial Soul.

They can learn by observing others' creations of soul skills, but soul power is something that is inherent to martial souls and cannot be learned.

"The earth soul power was not something I was born with; it was something I cultivated later. I suffered a lot to cultivate this soul power, but thankfully I succeeded."

Tian Hao laughed, a smug laugh.

This was a lure he had prepared for the Elephant Armor Sect. He had originally only intended to research a method for creating artificial diamonds to deceive and lure the sect, but who would have thought that there was a mountain of diamonds right under their feet, saving them a lot of trouble.

"Can you send it to me?"

His eyes lit up, and Hu Yanzhen's desire was intense and fervent.

I was feeling sorry for them before, but I didn't expect that this kind of soul power was cultivated later in life. So does that mean they can also cultivate it?

"No, you're not my little brother, why would I pass it on to you?"

Tian Hao decisively rejected the idea, as he always only taught his younger brothers his unique skills.

"Boss, pass the message to me!"

Hu Yanzhen shamelessly acknowledged the boss. As long as he could learn that earth soul power, he would accept being called the boss, or even the father.

If he had the Earth Soul Power, he could use the diamonds here to forge a set of diamond armor for his Martial Soul True Body, making him even more powerful when charging forward, and he wouldn't even have a problem going head-to-head with the Clear Sky Hammer.

“You don’t have the Vajra Dragon Elephant Martial Soul, so it’s difficult for you to cultivate it on your own. However, I can integrate my Earth Soul Power into your Martial Soul. Although the effect will be slightly less, it will still be usable.”

As Tian Hao spoke, he activated the Vajra Dragon Elephant Transformation skill of his torso soul bone, causing his body to swell to a massive three meters.

Hu Yanzhen, in coordination with the use of his Martial Soul Possession, was not much smaller than Tian Hao.

Using the shared origin and resonance between the Vajra Dragon Elephant Martial Soul and the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul, Tian Hao initially fused his own Earth Soul Power with Hu Yanzhen's Soul Power, and then used the Soul Power as a bridge to integrate it into his Martial Soul.

As the earth's soul power was integrated, the form of Hu Yanzhen's martial soul possession changed.

The two originally translucent diamond ivory pieces have taken on a slightly earthy yellow hue, a color unique to the earth's soul power.

"I can only initially fuse the Earth Soul Power with your Martial Soul. You need to gradually work through the process and at the same time, convert all your Soul Power into this Earth Soul Power."

Once the fusion of the Earth Soul Power and the Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul had stabilized, Tian Hao stopped the Vajra Dragon Elephant Transformation.

Of course, he took certain precautions. This earth soul power was like a seed. If it really became his enemy in the future, he could use it to drain Hu Yanzhen's soul power.

"Little Golden Wheel, come to my house for a meal tonight. We'll drink until we drop, and I'll have my daughter warm your bed tonight."

After carefully sensing the changes in soul power and martial soul, Hu Yanzhen's mouth almost stretched to his ears. He immediately put his arm around Tian Hao's shoulder and picked up his daughter.

He had long wanted to bring this boy and his daughter together, hoping they would have a child and leave the bloodline of the Vajra Dragon Elephant Martial Soul in their Elephant Armor Sect.

Chapter 345 Awe and Reverence Arise

Unable to refuse Hu Yanzhen's enthusiastic invitation, Tian Hao was dragged to the man's courtyard and warmly received. However, Tian Hao decisively entered the Sage's Realm.

"Brother Jinlun, I'll drink first as a sign of respect, you can drink as you please!"

Hu Yanhua boldly picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp. A trickle of wine flowed down the corner of his mouth, over his thick neck, and over his firm chest muscles...

Looking at the older sister in front of him, who was even taller and more robust than himself... no, the younger sister, Tian Hao's heart remained calm and undisturbed.

He had long since given up hope on the girls of the Xiangjia Clan. Although their physiques were somewhat inferior to those of the male clansmen, it was only a slight difference.

The daughter of Hu Yanzhen in front of us has inherited his talent, and has even developed a full chest.

"Xiaohua is the current clan beauty of our Elephant Armor Clan, the dream girl of all the younger generation..."

Hu Yanzhen, standing to the side, kept promoting his daughter, but his aesthetic sense was probably different from that of normal people, at least different from that of Tian.

“Old Zhen, I understand your intentions. It’s just that the technique the old man taught me is special. You can’t break your body before you’ve mastered it, otherwise it will be difficult to cultivate to the extreme.”

With a regretful sigh, Tian Hao offered a polite excuse to decline.

He didn't want to have anything to do with this taller, more robust woman than himself; he didn't want to hold her back, and he was also afraid of being crushed.

"When will you be able to cultivate to the highest level? I can wait."

Hu Yanhua immediately stated that she had watched the battle and was very satisfied with Tuoba Jinlun. Although she was a bit older than him, it was only three years, which was not a significant difference.

"That technique requires level 90 to be considered mastered, and I still need to cultivate it for at least 30 more years."

His heart skipped a beat, and Tian Hao quickly raised the standard to level ninety.

Girl, you'd better stop waiting, I'm not your type.

Thirty years!

Hu Yanhua lamented that thirty years later she would be old and faded.

Hu Yanzhen had other ideas. Since his daughter was not suitable, he would try to match them up when he had a granddaughter in the future.

Then, as if he had just thought of something, his eyes widened.

"Your lineage all cultivates that kind of technique, and only after becoming a Title Douluo can you get married and have children?"

If we really calculate it that way, then the members of the Vajra Sect lineage probably don't get married and have children until they are in their forties or fifties, which is twice the normal age for marriage.

So how should I calculate my generational ranking with Xiao Jinlun?

The gap accumulated over thousands of years is so large that even kneeling down and calling someone "grandpa" wouldn't be enough.

"That's our main cultivation technique, there's nothing we can do about it."

With a helpless shrug, Tian Hao indicated that there was really nothing he could do.

"Come on, let's drink!"

Huyan Zhen raised his wine bowl and stopped talking about that topic.

If we really go on, even if the Grand Elder came, he'd probably have to call him ancestor.

But thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem like a bad deal to call him "boss".

As members of a large family, there are often significant differences in seniority within the clan. For example, a few years ago, the eldest elder broke through to the title of Douluo and experienced a second spring in his life. He took a concubine and had a big, healthy son, whom he himself had to call "Grandpa."
