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

"That seems to be the domain."

Bibi Dong said somewhat uncertainly, having witnessed the angelic domain of the Grand Priest, she felt that Tang Hao's pale white power was somewhat similar to that domain.

"That is indeed a domain, similar to the Seven Kill Domain of the Seven Kill Sword. It belongs to the same spiritual domain and is based on killing intent."

However, there was a hint of sharpness emanating from that domain, which definitely wasn't something he had gleaned from the Clear Sky Hammer; perhaps he had obtained some kind of fortuitous opportunity.

Tian Hao nodded. That Killing God Domain had great potential; it was even equivalent to the divine test of the Asura God.

He then gestured to Ling Yuan and whispered in her ear.

"Sister Lingyuan, when you leave to buy things in a nearby city in the future, write a secret letter and have someone deliver it to His Holiness the Pope in Wuhun City. Tell him that Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect has a domain based on killing intent, which will surely become a great threat to our Wuhun Hall in the future. He may become the next Tang Chen. Tell His Holiness to make plans early."

Why not take credit for something you get for free? It's just a matter of talking.

Moreover, the Killing God Domain does need to be treated with caution. It is not inherently bad, but the fear is that the Asura God might shamelessly help him gain an unfair advantage, instantly boosting Tang Hao's strength.

'It seems that Ah Yin has only known Tang Xiao and Tang Hao for a short time, and her soul power level has only reached the Soul Saint level. She is someone I can scheme against.'

If Tang Hao and Ah Yin were separated, or even if Tang Hao were killed beforehand, I wonder if the future God-King Tang would still be able to travel through time?

Tian Hao thought of many things, but what he valued most was that when he shook hands with Ah Yin earlier, a hidden power in his martial spirit's spiritual sea was subtly touched. Even if it was only subtly touched, it still exuded a strong vitality.

The last time this kind of anomaly occurred was when we were drawing blood from our cheap teacher, Chen Jianjun. I didn't expect there to be another change this time. Could it be that the martial soul has set its sights on Ah Yin or her martial soul, the Blue Silver Emperor?

Tian Hao pondered the reasons behind it and felt that it was about right. However, the power within his martial soul had only been briefly touched and then quickly fell silent, making it difficult to sense.

'Is it because Ah Yin hasn't reached level ninety-nine yet?'

Based on his speculation, Tian Hao believed that the problem lay in Ah Yin's strength and cultivation level. If Ah Yin could break through to become a peak Douluo of level 99 like her cheap teacher Chen Jianjun, she would definitely be able to further activate the power within her own martial soul.

'It seems I need to find an opportunity to strengthen the Blue Silver Emperor. After her death, obtaining her Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, cultivated to its peak, should allow me to add another martial soul to my spiritual sea.'

Tian Hao began to plot against the Blue Silver Emperor, but he first needed to help him reach level ninety-nine.

His thoughts shifted, and he began to ponder his own martial spirit's sea of ​​consciousness.

"My martial spirit sea is definitely not simple. There is some hidden power within that has not yet been revealed. It needs to encounter a compatible martial spirit to be condensed, or rather, it needs a suitable vessel."

Last time it was the teacher's Seven Kill Sword, this time it's the Blue Silver Emperor. The Blue Silver Emperor's greatest characteristic is its immense vitality, while the Seven Kill Sword is all about sword intent and killing aura. It seems to have the same attributes as the Asura God and the God of Life in the God Realm. Could it be that my martial soul is related to the God Realm?

He made many connections in a short time, even speculating that his martial spirit might be related to the God Realm.

"Find an opportunity to shake hands with Tang Hao. The Clear Sky Hammer should resonate with the power of the God of Destruction. If there is a connection, it can be basically confirmed."

He quickly thought of the Clear Sky Hammer, the martial soul of the Clear Sky Sect. The Clear Sky Hammer is known as the nemesis of all offensive martial souls not only because it is heavy and hard, but also because it has a crushing property that can crush anything.

Especially when he uses the Great Sumeru Hammer, the aura that seems capable of smashing heaven and earth to pieces is extremely powerful. Even when Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen were fighting, they were defeated by this move.

In addition, the Haotian Hammer also possesses certain lightning attributes, making it highly compatible with the God of Destruction.

Afterwards, we only need to see if the Tang brothers, who possess the Clear Sky Hammer, can change their martial souls again to further confirm our guess.

"When we get back to Wuhun City, we can try to get in touch with the Pope and the High Priest. Maybe we can gain something from that. Also, there's that trident on Seagod Island. It seems to be the embodiment of the Seagod's martial spirit. We should try to get there later."

Finally, thinking of Qian Daoliu and his son, and the trident of Poseidon Island, Tian Hao decided to find an opportunity to give it a try.

After a night like this, Tian Hao came to the Blue Silver King again the next day. Ah Yin was already waiting there, or rather, she hadn't left the night before and had been communicating with the Blue Silver King.

Although the Blue Silver King has transmitted the memory images to her, they are just memory images, and many things still need to be discussed and exchanged.

"Your idea is highly feasible, but it's very difficult to implement. The binding of a soul beast's soul ring to the killer is a rule of heaven and earth that cannot be bypassed."

Ah Yin revealed the result of their discussion all night: she still had no way to break the binding effect, and perhaps only the legendary gods could do it.

The only exception is the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast, but even that involves the rules of heaven and earth.

"Since this path is blocked, let's change our approach. We'll collect those soul beast soul rings, disassemble them as raw materials, extract the various innate characteristics of the soul beasts, and then integrate them into blank soul rings as the foundation of our soul skills."

Tian Hao was not surprised, and he had a backup plan.

"It's difficult, but we can give it a try."

After careful consideration, Ah Yin finally agreed to give it a try. She then respectfully asked the Blue Silver King, "Your Majesty, please summon some old and dying soul beasts to assist us in this attempt."

The Blue Silver King didn't say much, but released his immense spiritual power to communicate with the soul beasts in the Blue Silver Forest and search for volunteers.

"They're putting on quite a convincing act."

Looking at Ah Yin's appearance, Tian Hao muttered to himself, feeling a pang of pity.

She is also a silly and pitiful woman. It is taboo for humans and soul beasts to fall in love, especially since Tang Hao's personality is prone to causing trouble. It is inevitable that she will encounter danger in the future. When she faces a desperate situation, what can Ah Yin do besides sacrifice herself to him?

Even after Tang Hao becomes a Title Douluo, the sacrifice can still help him increase his soul power level.

Therefore, the act of sacrifice itself is one of Gintoki's major weaknesses.

"It is said that Lord Tang Hao became a master craftsman at a young age, and is known as one of the three great master craftsmen of our time, along with Master Craftsman Lou Gao and Titan of the Power Clan."

Looking at the Tang brothers who had been staring intently at him, Tian Hao walked over and extended his hand in a friendly manner.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: The World's Master Craftsmen Emerge from Haotian

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Xiao finally shook hands with Tian Hao.

Regardless of his suspicions and wariness towards this person, he couldn't be rude, especially since his third sister, Ah Yin, was watching.

Tang Hao, however, remained indifferent and ignored him.

Tian Hao didn't care about this. After sensing that another power in his martial soul's spiritual sea was being subtly touched and was emitting a destructive aura, Tian Hao's smile became even wider, confirming his previous guess.

"This is a forging hammer that I crafted myself, forged from tungsten steel. Your Excellency Tang Hao is a master craftsman of our time. Please take a look and appreciate it."

Tian Hao took out two forging hammers from his waist storage belt and handed them to the Tang brothers, Tang Xiao and Tang Xiao respectively.

"You built it?"

Tang Hao only became interested when it came to forging.

He took the forging hammer, weighed it in his hand, and then channeled his soul power into it. He was quite surprised to find that there was almost no resistance. Tang Xiao also looked at the boy again with surprise.

"I spent three whole years forging that piece of tungsten steel, finally reaching the thousand-forging level and removing all impurities."

As he spoke, Tian Hao sighed. He had put in a lot of effort to forge that large piece of tungsten steel, especially as the forging process became more and more difficult.

"Thousand-times forging" does not refer to folding and forging a thousand times, but rather to a standard of quality purity. Only when all the impurities in the material are forged out can it be called "thousand-times forging".

The tungsten steel was almost finished in the first year, but the last little bit took two whole years to forge.

However, after successfully forging the sword, he understood the secret and found it much easier to forge it a thousand times. That's why he forged those three scythes for Bibi Dong.

Now it is moving towards perfect thousand-fold forging, which is to unleash the power of the material, commonly known as a flash of inspiration, just like the reaction of the thousand-fold forged tungsten steel sword when it clashed with Teacher Bian last time.

That experience gave him a rough idea of ​​what was going on, and he believed he could figure it out after studying it for a while longer.

Three years!

Tang Xiao was also quite moved; such perseverance alone was enough to earn respect.

"To have achieved this, you have surpassed 90% of the blacksmiths in the world. If you could perfectly forge and fuse the two materials, you would be a master craftsman, but that is impossible."

Tang Hao also thought highly of Tian Hao, but he didn't believe that the other party had the potential to become a master craftsman.

Because master craftsmen, in addition to talent, place even greater emphasis on passing down their skills and knowledge.

Even their Haotian Sect spent many years exploring and mastering the method of perfectly fusing multiple special metals, and so far, it has only been passed on to Titan, the young patriarch of the Power Clan.

As for the master craftsman Lou Gao, he relied on the characteristics of his own martial soul to complete the fusion of special metals, which could not be passed down.

Therefore, the world's most skilled craftsmen could only come from their Haotian Sect.

"It's all about human effort!"

Tian Hao took the two forging hammers and put them back, then smiled.

The standard for master craftsmen in Douluo Continent I is to fuse different special metals on the basis of thousand forgings and perfectly preserve their properties, which is similar to the alloy fusion forging in later episodes of Douluo Continent.

However, the thousand-fold forging is not simply the limit of metal. In fact, our current understanding of the thousand-fold forging is not yet complete. There is still the step of spiritual light bursting out, and that is what makes it a perfect thousand-fold forging.

He is now steadily advancing down that path, and his future is many times better than that of the Haotian Sect.

"People should have self-awareness; some things take time to accumulate."

Tang Xiao shook his head, also not believing that he could become a master craftsman, even if he joined their Haotian Sect now.

It should be noted that even the Titans of the Power Clan were able to inherit the forging secrets of their Haotian Sect mainly because the Power Clan had been loyal to them for many years, and the Titans were indeed very talented in forging. It was for this reason that their Haotian Sect decided to make an exception and teach them the techniques.

But it is limited to Titan alone, and Titan cannot pass it on to anyone else.

After being rejected again, Tian Hao smiled but remained silent.

He could see the two brothers' arrogance, but they did have the right to be arrogant. In the past, most of the master craftsmen on the continent were from the Haotian Sect, but in this generation, Lou Gao and Titan from the Power Clan emerged.

Lou Gao's height was due to the characteristics of his own martial soul, while Titan obtained the forging secrets of the Clear Sky Sect. The previous generation's continental master craftsman was the Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen.

It is no exaggeration to say that the world's greatest craftsmen are Haotian.

But you are merely the master craftsmen of this era.

As they were talking, a emaciated deer-like spirit beast staggered over; it was the first volunteer persuaded by the Blue Silver King.

"This is a phantom deer with 107 years of cultivation. It has excellent aptitude and two innate abilities: one is to leave behind a phantom to deceive the opponent, and the other is to leap at high speed."

Blue Silver King revealed the species and age of the Phantom Deer, as well as its innate abilities.

"Soul beasts also age."

Tian Hao sighed, then manifested golden holy light soul power and stepped forward, slowly injecting it into the withered and weak body of the Phantom Deer.

The Phantom Deer sensed the effects of the Holy Light Soul Power on itself and did not refuse; it even turned its head and rubbed against Tian Hao's arm.

With this soul power entering his body, the pain was significantly reduced.

"The lifespan of a soul beast is not unlimited. Only those with a high enough bloodline level can continue to cultivate or encounter other opportunities."

However, this phantom deer wasn't old; it was poisoned, and the poison had seeped into its bones, making it incurable. Other spirit beasts wouldn't hunt it, and it had struggled until now. Today was a kind of relief for it.

Blue Silver King explained that there was a reason why he could persuade the soul beasts. He couldn't possibly sacrifice the soul beasts in his territory just for the sake of an experiment, unless there were soul beasts that happened to be preyed on at this stage.

Tian Hao understood, and then took out a blade of grass, gesturing for the Phantom Deer to eat it.

"It will make your walk more comfortable."

The Phantom Deer, which had already made arrangements with the Blue Silver King, did not refuse and ate the grass leaf. After a while, it closed its eyes, its heartbeat gradually weakened until it stopped completely, and then a yellow soul ring appeared.

Tian Hao sensed that he had established a connection with that soul ring, clearly indicating that the rules of heaven and earth had determined that he had killed it.
