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

However, we cannot rush things. The plan for the Nine-Colored Goddess's position is of utmost importance, and Ning Rongrong is the key.

Chapter 474 Abnormal Psychology

During his several days of rest in Wuhun City, Tian Hao, drawing on the Sea King's Manual he had read in his previous life, transformed into a master of time management, shuttling back and forth between his several wives, with Liu Erlong being the core of his relationship.

After all, they haven't been completely honest yet; there are some things they have to keep hidden.

Four days passed, and the finals officially began. It was largely the same as the previous two, except that the Pope had changed from Qian Xunji to Bibi Dong.

"You vile bitch!"

The moment Bibi Dong appeared, Liu Erlong fixed his gaze on her with a very unfriendly expression.

She never forgot the cruel and wicked woman who mocked and hurt Xiaogang, nor did she forget the disdain she had shown towards her back then.

One of the reasons I've been working so hard to cultivate these past years is to take revenge on that vicious and despicable woman.

"You seductive slut!"

Bibi Dong was also cursing someone in her heart. Although she had let go of her feelings for Yu Xiaogang, that woman had indeed taken advantage of her vulnerability and was a complete seductive and shameless woman.

Putting aside the intense gazes between the two women, Tian Hao encountered an opponent, or rather, himself, on the very first day.

"Dad, is he reliable?"

Standing in the stands of the Dragon Elephant team, Tuoba Jin watched the figure walk into the arena, not quite understanding.

Hu Yanmeng, standing next to him, also didn't understand why their team had to field such a substitute player.

That person was very mysterious. It was said that the boss had met him in the Sunset Forest in his early years. He was also a successor of the Vajra Sect, but they knew nothing about him. They didn't know his name, his soul power level, or what his martial soul was.

This person had never shown his face until they arrived in Wuhun City, when Tuoba hope brought him there. In the first battle, he was the only one to fight, while the other team members stayed here and were not allowed to participate.

"He is also a prodigy, and his opponent this time is also a prodigy. You can't interfere, just watch."

As Tuoba hope spoke, he watched the figure walking down from the stands of the Star Luo Empire's academy team.

He didn't know anything about the man named Gu Santong either. His father had brought him here secretly, saying that he was a successor of the Vajra Sect and no weaker than the young master Tuoba Jinlun.

He didn't have much of an opinion on this. In any case, the quality of the team he put together this year wasn't much better than the previous one. In addition, without a prodigy like the young master to lead them, they would definitely lose against such a prodigy. It would be better to let that person play alone.

On the other side, lightning flashed as Tian Hao watched the approaching Xuanwu Turtle clone. He was about to play a dual role, using the distraction control method to enhance the Xuanwu Turtle clone's combat power.

Unfortunately, although the Xuanwu Turtle clone has developed a soul and consciousness through the power of life evolution, it has only been a short time and has not yet grown up. It needs his secret support to enhance its control over the power of the earth.

"Both sides, please activate your Martial Souls!"

The Spirit Hall Title Douluo, who was acting as the referee, signaled both sides to activate their Spirits. Tian Hao manifested the Thunder Tribulation Grass Sword, while the Xuanwu Turtle clone was either possessed by the Spirit or returned to its original state.

He has fixed the form of the Xuanwu Turtle clone to be like the Xuanwu Turtle, and the human form has become an incidental transformation form. Previously, he walked up in a human body, but now he has reverted to his original form.

"Black Tortoise?"

"Martial Soul True Body?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw that enormous thing, which was two meters tall and five meters in diameter.

Some are confused about the form, some are confused about the size.

Judging from its size, it should be the True Form of the Martial Soul, but the True Form of the Martial Soul is an exclusive skill of the Soul Saint. Could it be that the other party is a Soul Saint?

Can a Soul Saint emerge in the Soul Master Tournament?

"Grandpa Dugu, isn't it true that only two Xuanwu Turtle Martial Souls can exist in the world at the same time?"

Xue Qinghe, representing the Heaven Dou Empire team, looked at Dugu Bo beside him. He often visited Dugu Bo's residence and knew the Shi Mo and Shi Mo brothers, who possessed genuine Xuanwu Turtle martial souls.

According to the limitations of Earth Sect Martial Souls, generally only two can exist in the world, similar to the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.

With the existence of the Graphite and Stone Mill brothers, there is absolutely no possibility of a third person possessing the Xuanwu Turtle Martial Soul.

So what's going on with that now?

"It's not a Xuanwu Turtle, at least it's different from the Xuanwu Turtle martial soul of Shi Mo and the others. It might be a mutated martial soul."

After observing carefully for a while, Dugu Bo finally determined that the Xuanwu Turtle Soul Master below was different from his two little cubs.

"As expected of the Vajra Sect!"

Xue Qinghe remarked that he had gained a deeper understanding of the Vajra Sect's profound heritage.

He also speculated that the Vajra Sect's stronghold might be deep within the Sunset Forest, and the extent of their power and the number of their disciples were unknown.

Five years ago, only one Dragon Elephant Sword Saint, Tuoba Jinlun, and that almost godlike Vajra Sect Master had emerged. I thought that was all there was to it.

After all, the Vajra Dragon Elephant Martial Soul is also a Earth Sect Martial Soul, and its quantity is limited. But who would have thought that this time a mutated Xuanwu Turtle Martial Soul would suddenly appear.

"The power accumulated by a sect that has been hidden for thousands of years is far beyond our imagination. It is even more terrifying than the three upper sects of the past. We should not make enemies of them unless necessary."

Dugu Bo appeared very serious. Although he did not witness the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan attacking the Vajra Three Clans, he had visited the battlefield afterward and could analyze many issues from the remaining traces.

At least he could confirm that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was not the only one involved in the siege of the three Vajra Sects; the Clear Sky Clan was definitely also involved. Such a large hammer mark could only belong to the Clear Sky Clan.

Since the Haotian Sect has been mobilized, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as the last of the three upper sects, will inevitably participate as well.

But the result was that the three sects remained silent at that time and transferred their core members, leaving an empty shell to attract attention from the outside world.

It was clear that the three Vajra sects had won the battle, but he had some uncertain guesses about how they won, which stemmed from the discovery of some enormous footprints on the battlefield.

The enormous footprint alone is enough to imagine how massive it was, and one can also guess that the person's strength was far beyond that of a level 99 peak Douluo.

The Vajra Sect is too powerful; one can only befriend them, never become their enemy.

"The only option is to avoid becoming enemies."

Speaking of this, Xue Qinghe couldn't help but smile wryly.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Family had considered winning over the Three Vajra Sects, and was even willing to appoint them as national guardian sects, an honor that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had never received before.

The Haotian Sect had planned for this very thing. It could be said that once they became the empire's guardian sect, they would gain unimaginable benefits.

However, the Vajra Sect refused, and their reason was one they couldn't refute: they didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.

It's obvious to anyone whose mistakes we'll repeat: it's the mess that happened between Haotian Sect and my father back then.

Clearly, what happened back then served as a wake-up call for many sects, reminding them that there are certain things that must never be crossed.

Although he and his father knew that their family had been tricked by that old scoundrel Tang Zhen, outsiders thought that they had outmaneuvered the Haotian Sect.

After all, many factions knew that it was the Emperor who took the initiative to pursue Tang Yuehua, and afterwards he even took the initiative to propose marriage to the Haotian Sect.

The initiative was with the Emperor, and the Haotian Sect was the one who got tricked.

Almost all forces now hold this view, and they are wary of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family. Cooperation is possible, but further steps are out of the question.

They have no way of explaining this, it's a real rip-off!

"There are some things that I can't say for sure, but your father has indeed regretted it over the years and is preparing to follow in your grandfather's footsteps. You may not understand some of his actions now, but you must understand that the empire needs a perfect monarch in the future, a perfect emperor who surpasses the founding emperor. You are still far from that level."

Seeing Xue Qinghe's frustration, Dugu Bo secretly used his soul power to give her a hint.

He is now considered Xue Ye's confidant and knows a lot of things. Not to mention that he personally took Xue Ye to the Sword Sect for advice last time. He can understand what Emperor Xue Sheng thought back then, and Xue Ye now has almost the same idea.

They were all in despair and were ready to place their hopes on the next generation, hoping to cultivate a perfect monarch to lead the empire forward.

Among the princes, he favored Xue Qinghe the most, not only because he was the eldest son of the legitimate wife, but also because Xue Qinghe had the best temperament, much like Xue Ye back then.

He didn't want the child to repeat the same mistakes made on that snowy night because of some misunderstandings or the instigation of petty people, so he gave him a word of advice.

"I understand, and I will certainly not disappoint Father."

Xue Qinghe nodded solemnly. He had already guessed this before, and now that Dugu Bo had said it, it was just confirmation.

"Can we try to win over the Sword Sect?"

It would be a lie to say that Xue Qinghe had no designs on Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

It wasn't just because of the Sword Sect's inherent strength, but also because of that Sword Douluo.

That was a peak Douluo, who had even defeated the former sect master of the Clear Sky Sect. They guessed that he was probably no weaker than Tang Chen, the Clear Sky Douluo who had disappeared for many years.

Not to mention that his disciple was the first prodigy to appear in the world, and his performance was even more monstrous than the two Yue brothers of the previous era in the Soul Master world. Everyone understood that the Holy Spirit Sword Saint's future achievements would inevitably surpass those of the one from Wuhun City and the one from Haotian Sect, and he might even become a god.

How could he not want to win over such a force?

"It's impossible with the Sword Sect, but Your Highness doesn't need to worry. Based on my understanding of Chen Xin, he's not the kind of person who would hold a grudge against others. Although he was tricked by your father back then, he'll only keep an eye on your father. He won't pay much attention to you juniors, but he's absolutely impossible to have any deep connection with the Empire."

Dugu Bo shook his head slightly, not believing that the Sword Sect would have much cooperation or involvement with the Heavenly Dou Royal Family again.

Ultimately, it was Xue Ye's fault back then. Originally, Sword Douluo favored Prince Xue Zhan. Even if Prince Xue Zhan couldn't become emperor, as long as he was around, he could maintain a good relationship with Sword Douluo.

But who would have thought that Xue Ye's final scheme would have succeeded in killing Sword Douluo? If the plan had gone smoothly, there would have been no problem. But who would have thought that Sword Douluo would not only not be killed, but would also defeat Tang Zhen, shatter his Martial Soul Clear Sky Hammer, and seize the title of the world's number one offensive Martial Soul.

They then joined forces with the Wind Sword Sect to establish the Sword Sect, becoming one of the new generation of the three upper sects, no less powerful than the Clear Sky Sect of yesteryear.

This put the empire in an awkward position.

"..."

Xue Qinghe was extremely frustrated. Their Heavenly Dou Royal Family had difficulty producing top experts because their martial souls were not strong enough. Therefore, winning over top sects had always been one of their major strategies. However, they were now unable to win over the two top sects in their own territory.

Having fatty meat right in front of you, but not being able to eat it, is an incredibly unpleasant feeling.

Unfortunately, this was a mess left behind by his own father, making him even more frustrated and fueling his growing hatred for the Haotian Sect and the old scoundrel Tang Zhen.

It's all that old scoundrel Tang Zhen's fault!

Will the Three Upper Sects ever reappear?

Turning his thoughts to the three upper sects that had already gone into seclusion and whose whereabouts were unknown, Xue Qinghe had some ideas about them.

Although they have become enemies, they are not unusable. After all, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. As long as the interests are right, even enemies can cooperate to some extent.

"They are just hiding and accumulating strength right now. Once they have enough power and the right opportunity, they will make a comeback. Your Highness must be careful of them."

He gave an affirmative answer, and as he spoke, Dugu Bo glanced at the several super strong people from the Spirit Hall, his heart filled with deep apprehension.

Each of those super-strong individuals posed a deadly threat to him; they were clearly capable of killing him and were definitely not to be trifled with.

There was no way around it; although his Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul possessed unparalleled poison power, capable of instantly killing anyone below the Title Douluo level and having the power to massacre cities and destroy nations.

However, he would be at a disadvantage in one-on-one combat. Against those top-tier beings, he would have no chance of winning, and even escaping would be difficult.

Is it the right time?

Xue Qinghe looked thoughtfully towards the Spirit Hall, guessing that the opportunity the three upper sects were waiting for must be related to the Spirit Hall.
