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

Not to mention that the potential of Purple Thunder Academy is not bad either. Everyone believes that the geniuses who have shown their talents in the three Soul Master Competitions can all become level 100 gods.

After all, even Sword Douluo could break through the limits and become a legendary level 100 god, so those geniuses with even better talent than Sword Douluo would surely also be able to become level 100 gods.

Therefore, Purple Thunder Academy and Purple Lightning Demon Dragon Sect are not bad either, not to mention that the Purple Thunder Sword Saint suppressed three geniuses by himself in the last Soul Master Competition, which is quite impressive.

"I was wrong!"

In the imperial palace of New Heaven Dou City, Xue Ye watched the video brought back by Dugu Bo and couldn't help but regret it once again.

The reason I chose to give up on Chen Xin back then was twofold: firstly, because Chen Xin was vaguely on Xue Zhan's side, and secondly, because I personally believed that Tang Zhen was stronger and Haotian Sect was more valuable.

But who would have thought that Chen Xin would actually reach level 100 and become a god, and even defeat Qian Daoliu, who was almost a myth in the previous era.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have chosen those scoundrels like Tang Zhen and Haotian Sect.

Look at Tang Zhen and the Haotian Sect. They decisively abandoned themselves back then, and even abandoned the four major families that had followed them for many years without hesitation. Then look at Sword Douluo back then in the Battle of Tiandou City. He fought to the death for Xue Zhan and the Empire. Even when surrounded by several elders of the Haotian Sect, he still insisted on being the last to leave.

The two are worlds apart when compared.

Unfortunately, there's no medicine for regret in this world, and now I'm kicking myself.

"Your Majesty, I suspect that Sword Douluo and Vajra Douluo's ascension to godhood may be related to their repeated resistance against lightning some time ago."

Dugu Bo suddenly voiced a guess. After receiving news that Sword Douluo and Vajra Douluo had withstood the lightning tribulation, he was quite puzzled and did not understand why the two of them would go to fight against the lightning.

With their cultivation reaching that level, the lightning in the world no longer poses much of a threat. What's the point of trying to withstand it head-on?

However, it now appears that the lightning was definitely not simple, and according to intelligence, it was not a normal bright white, but rather had a purplish hue.

That was definitely not just a simple thunderbolt.

"Does Uncle Bo mean they've discovered a way to become a god?"

With his eyes wide open, Xue Ye was stunned for a while before he came to his senses. If that were really the case, they would have suffered a huge loss.

The only known path to godhood seems to be obtaining the inheritance of a deity, such as the Angel God of the Spirit Hall or the Sea God of Seagod Island. There is no one who has cultivated to godhood on their own.

If Sword Douluo and Vajra Douluo truly discover the method for mortals to become gods, the significance will be vastly different, and their value will surpass that of the Spirit Hall and Seagod Island.

"Compared to my father and uncle, I am still far from being good enough."

After a long silence, Xueye sighed.

Compared to his father and Uncle Xue Zhou, he, as emperor, really lacked foresight. His uncle had decisively abandoned the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and supported the Dragon Elephant Academy and the Vajra Dragon Elephant Clan, thus forging a bond of friendship.

Looking back, I realize that I had initially opposed it, believing that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan was more valuable.

Now it has been proven that the Imperial Uncle was right, and the one who was wrong was himself, the Emperor.

As for the Sword Douluo, he made a huge mistake. His judgment of people was nowhere near as good as that of the previous generation!

"Uncle, there is a very strange piece of information."

At this moment, Xuexing, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up and handed a note to Xueye.

This was a piece of intelligence he had only recently obtained; it looked very strange and he had a feeling that it wasn't simple.

Since the concept of geniuses emerged, all major powers have paid more attention to talented soul masters, and the Heaven Dou Royal Family is no exception. After learning that two rare individuals with full innate soul power had appeared within the empire, they immediately sent people to investigate.

The results of the investigation, however, struck him as odd, even bizarre.

"Tang San's father is named Tang Hao. His spirit is Blue Silver Grass. He has full innate spirit power. He has a gloomy and ruthless personality. He repays kindness with enmity. He used a crossbow to ambush and kill the Spirit Hall patrol officer who awakened his spirit. On the first day, he was taken in as a disciple by Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, whom he met for the first time. He also has a little girl with full innate spirit power by his side."

After reading the information on the note, Xueye's eyes flickered, and she had some vague guesses.

If Yu Xiaogang hadn't appeared, he wouldn't have thought much of it, but once Yu Xiaogang came out, things took a completely different turn.

"Are you sure it's just Blue Silver Grass and hasn't mutated?"

Looking at her younger brother, Xueye asked a question, which was the key point.

"No, I sent someone to inquire. The gatekeeper of Notting Academy had fought with him and had also seen the Spirit Awakening Certificate issued by the Spirit Hall. It only said Blue Silver Grass and did not indicate that there was any mutation. With the eyesight of the Spirit Hall's patrol deacon, there was no way he could have made a mistake."

Xue Xing gave an affirmative answer. He had previously guessed that the child might be extraordinary, especially since his father was named Tang Hao.

He then instructed his men to carefully investigate, keeping them away from the academy, and instead use money to communicate with the gatekeeper when he came out to buy something, thus obtaining detailed information.

"I remember that Blue Silver Grass is just a kind of weed. If it were to become a martial soul, it would definitely be the lowest level martial soul."

Uncle Bo, do you think it's possible for a low-level martial soul to awaken with level ten soul power?

Xueye felt that the key point must be the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul. Someone like Yu Xiaogang would not accept that child as a disciple just because he had innate full soul power. There must be a big secret behind it.

"Absolutely impossible. Although the soul power that comes with the awakening of a martial soul may fluctuate to some extent, there is an upper limit and a lower limit. Unless a mutation occurs, it is absolutely impossible to exceed that upper limit and lower limit."

A normal, unmutated low-level martial soul could absolutely not possess innate full soul power; at least, I've never heard of such a thing.

Dugu Bo shook his head without even thinking; that was simply impossible.

"Brother, do you still remember that time many years ago when Golden Crocodile Douluo suddenly attacked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?"

Xuexing brought up an incident that caused quite a stir back then, and he had heard about it.

"I have some recollection. It seems that right after that, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan announced that Yu Xiaogang had been expelled from the sect. It was then that I learned that the master who published the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls was actually Yu Yuanzhen's son."

Xueye nodded, remembering that incident.

When the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan suddenly announced the expulsion of a clansman named Yu Xiaogang from the sect, he was quite curious, as this was the first time the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had done such a thing.

After making inquiries through his connections for a long time, he finally learned that Yu Xiaogang was actually Yu Yuanzhen's son.

"Your Majesty may not know that there were many versions of the story circulating back then because of that incident, one of which was even related to the current female pope of the Spirit Hall."

It is said that when the female pope was still a saintess, Yu Xiaogang had contact with her. Afterwards, something happened and Yu Xiaogang was expelled from Wuhun City. At the same time, Golden Crocodile Douluo attacked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Afterwards, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan announced that Yu Xiaogang had been expelled from the clan.

"That master must have done something to the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, thus angering the Spirit Hall."

He recounted a statement he had once heard. Xue Xing initially didn't believe it, but after reading the information, he made a very bold guess.

"Twin martial souls!"

Suddenly standing up, Xueye's gaze fell on the note again, and she understood what the key point was.

Most people wouldn't know that the female pope possessed twin martial souls, but as the emperor of the Heaven Dou Dynasty, he couldn't possibly be unaware of this. Considering that Yu Xiaogang accepted the child as a disciple upon their first meeting, it's clear that he discovered the child's unparalleled talent in twin martial souls.

This person will definitely be a prodigy, a born prodigy.

"Twin Martial Souls?"

Dugu Bo's face darkened. He realized the enormous advantage of having twin martial souls. Even though he had planned so much for his granddaughter, it was still far less than what a person with twin martial souls could achieve.

The destination they painstakingly reach may just be someone else's starting point.

"Brother, what should we do?"

Xuexing asked, feeling that this matter was quite troublesome.

"Don't worry about it!"

A smile suddenly appeared on her face; Xueye was quite pleased to see this happen.

"Just ignore it?"

Xuexing was puzzled. What did "don't worry about it" mean?

"We don't need to get involved in the grudges between the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall. The emergence of a twin spirit in the Clear Sky Sect can better restrain the Spirit Hall, and we may be able to make use of it in the future."

His smile gradually turned cold. Xue Ye recalled how he had been deceived and tricked by the old scoundrel Tang Zhen, and he was still furious. Now was the perfect time to devise a plan to use that child to drag the hidden Haotian Sect out.

And since they could see this, the Spirit Hall could naturally see it too. Presumably, the reason why the Spirit Hall did not take action was firstly because they were restrained by Sword Douluo's challenge, and secondly because they had the same idea as him, wanting to use that child to lure out the hidden Clear Sky Sect.

Xue Xing suddenly realized that although they had been badly tricked by Tang Zhen and the Clear Sky Sect, they were still capable of using them. After all, their biggest enemy now was the Spirit Hall. While the enemy of my enemy may not necessarily become my friend, they could definitely be used to their advantage.

However, the Clear Sky Sect is no good either; they are also their enemies. It would be best if the Clear Sky Sect and the Spirit Hall could destroy each other.

"Uncle Bo, do you think we could use that child as bait to lure out all three hidden sects? That would be an opportunity for them."

Having made some plans in mind, Xueye wanted to hear Dugu Bo's opinion.

He didn't quite understand the way of thinking of those top experts, so he could only ask Dugu Bo, who was also a top expert, for advice, especially since Dugu Bo was also a clan leader.

"Although the three upper sects have hidden themselves, the resources they can take away are limited. Limited resources will slow down their cultivation speed and even affect their final achievements. They certainly can't hold back for long, but they need a sufficiently large opportunity and benefit."

Dugu Bo never believed that the three upper sects would hide forever. Their hiding back then was only to better accumulate strength. Given the opportunity, they would definitely emerge.

"I have granted you this opportunity and these benefits."

The smile on her face grew increasingly cold. Xue Ye didn't mind giving the three upper sects another chance to reappear, so that they could create another powerful enemy for the Spirit Hall.

"Do the three upper sects still dare to come out?"

Xue Xing didn't think the three upper sects could come out. After all, the three upper sects were not only being targeted by the Spirit Hall, but also by the Vajra Sect, and even by the super spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. If they appeared, they would definitely be targeted.

"From Qian Daoliu's words, we can see that Haotian Douluo must have already reached level 100 and become a god. He was even able to escape from the joint attack of Qian Daoliu and others, which shows how powerful he is."

Tang Zhen has already reached level 99, and with Tang Chen as his guide, he will likely reach level 100 and become a god.

Neither Yu Zhenlong nor that Bone Douluo are weaklings; with so many powerful individuals gathered together, they are more than capable of dealing with any attacks from various forces.

Xue Ye glanced at the projection device. Although the recording was short, it revealed a lot of useful information, especially the conversation between Qian Daoliu and Sword Douluo.

"By the way, I also want to congratulate you, Uncle Bo. Yan Yan successfully comprehended sword intent at the Illusionary Sound Academy. With sword intent and a 100,000-year-old head soul bone, she will probably be able to refine a 100,000-year-old soul ring by her fourth soul ring."

Recalling a piece of intelligence he had received a few days earlier, Xueye congratulated Dugu Bo.

He sent his eldest son, Xue Qinghe, and Dugu Yan to Huanyin Academy not only to allow them to spend time together and develop their relationship, but more importantly, to help them comprehend sword intent and cultivate the power of swordsmanship.

His own son's aptitude was somewhat lacking due to his martial soul, but Dugu Yan's aptitude was excellent. In addition, with the support of a 100,000-year-old head soul bone, he finally comprehended the power of sword intent.

With a 100,000-year-old head bone combined with sword intent, it will definitely have a stronger resistance to the mental impact of refining a soul ring.

Dugu Bo couldn't stop smiling. All his hard work in cultivating her had paid off; his granddaughter had indeed grasped the sword intent. In that case, she could indeed consider trying to refine a 100,000-year-old soul ring when she got her fourth soul ring.

The optimal age range for a Soul Master's Soul Rings is two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red. The eighth Soul Ring is very close to a 100,000-year Soul Ring, but with external support, it is not impossible to absorb Soul Rings that span multiple age ranges.

For example, his granddaughter, because of that head soul bone and his own sealing soul skill, can refine soul rings beyond the limit, and her first soul ring starts at ten thousand years.

With his own sealing soul skill, refining soul power is not a problem. The only thing to be careful about is the mental impact he will suffer when refining the soul ring.

Now that her granddaughter not only possesses a 100,000-year-old head soul bone, but also sword intent, it's no longer a problem. As long as she cultivates her sword intent to a certain level, theoretically she can refine a 100,000-year-old soul ring even earlier.

"Yan Yan needs to be careful when choosing her first 100,000-year soul ring. It would be best to find a Jade Phosphorous Serpent King, or at least another snake-type soul beast."

After calming himself down, Dugu Bo's expression turned serious.

Because the granddaughter was originally refined from a ten-thousand-year soul ring, she was able to obtain more soul power during the refinement process, and her soul power level would naturally increase faster, reaching level 30 long ago.

However, he did not take his granddaughter to hunt and refine the third soul ring. One reason was to allow his granddaughter to further refine and utilize the soul power enhanced by the soul ring. After all, that soul power originated from the soul beast and was not cultivated by herself. It would take a long time to refine and utilize it perfectly.
