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

"That sounds quite suitable for the White Tiger Martial Soul."

Having heard the description of that rare and precious Chrysanthemum, Zhu Zhuyun also thought it was very suitable for the Xingluo royal family to take.

Because the Star Luo royal family's White Tiger Martial Soul is called the Bright Vajra Tiger, you can tell from the name that it has both light and gold attributes, which perfectly matches the Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum.

However, although the variant he consumed lost its light attribute, it enhanced the metal attribute, causing his martial soul to mutate into the Heavenly Demon Tiger.

In her understanding, the Heavenly Demon Tiger was similar to the White Tiger Martial Soul, except that one was of the light attribute and the other was of the dark attribute, which were somewhat opposite.

"Do you have a lot of immortal herbs? If you have any extra, our Netherworld Zhu family is willing to offer you a price that will satisfy you."

After chatting for a while, Zhu Zhuyun expressed her intention to purchase the items for her Youming Zhu family.

In today's turbulent era, individual strength is far from enough; one also needs the support of a sufficiently powerful force. All she can rely on is her family.

Therefore, expanding her family's influence was of great benefit to her, which was also part of the education she received from a young age.

“Immortal herbs are rare and hard to come by, and we didn’t get many. Those two immortal herbs were originally meant to increase my spiritual power.”

Tian Hao shook his head slightly and refused. Although Zhu Zhuyun was disappointed, she did not insist.

The name "immortal herb" suggests its rarity; otherwise, even the Netherworld Zhu family and the Star Luo royal family wouldn't have been unaware of it.

Moreover, even if the Black Tiger Sect possessed a large number of immortal herbs, they must have already consumed them to enhance themselves, leaving very few behind.

They chatted for a while longer until the banquet ended, when they parted ways, each with their own thoughts.

Zhu Zhuyun immediately returned to the family mansion to see her father and explained everything that had happened.

She can't make this decision on her own; her father has to give his approval.

"As long as he can offer something that will win my heart, I will approve of your marriage to him."

After listening and pondering for a moment, the Duke of Youming agreed to the matter.

He had no choice but to agree; didn't he see that Davis had already agreed and was probably negotiating with the Emperor right now?

Moreover, this is a good thing; they suffer no loss. All they need to do is amend the marriage agreement, which will allow them to release their second daughter who has been imprisoned.

Besides, she can also raise her eldest daughter to become a prodigy. Only a fool would refuse such a great opportunity!

However, the main beneficiary of this incident was the eldest daughter, Zhu Yun, and the Youming Zhu family also needed to obtain sufficient benefits.

"What's the situation with your Martial Soul Resonance?"

After finishing their business, the Grand Duke of the Underworld inquired about the matter of Martial Soul Resonance.

He was no stranger to the spirit resonance, as most members of his family could resonate with members of the Star Luo royal family, but this was the result of over a thousand years of intermarriage between the two families.

How come the eldest daughter suddenly resonated with the martial soul of that prodigy from the Black Tiger Sect?

"The feeling of resonance with him is different from that of Davis. It feels as if my martial soul is about to merge into his body. Moreover, his dark attribute is very strong, the strongest I have ever seen."

As Zhu Zhuyun spoke, she showed her father half of the soul power sealed within her body.

This was the first time she had ever seen such powerful dark attribute soul power. It felt far superior to her own dark attribute soul power, not even on the same level.

The Grand Duke of the Underworld used his own soul power to envelop the ball of ultimate dark demon soul power. When he discovered that even his own soul power was somewhat out of control, he stood up in shock, his brows furrowed tightly.

"This kind of soul power is somewhat similar to that of the super soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest."

After carefully sensing it, the Grand Duke of the Underworld couldn't help but recall the golden giant bear in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Unlike the Heaven Dou Empire, the only large gathering place for spirit beasts in the Star Luo Empire is the Star Dou Great Forest, so high-level spirit rings can only be obtained by hunting in the Star Dou Great Forest.

After the Star Dou Great Forest became a forbidden zone, it had the greatest impact on their Star Luo Empire, which is also a major reason why a large number of Soul Masters within the empire migrated to the Heaven Dou Empire.

They had repeatedly organized teams of powerful individuals to enter the Star Dou Great Forest in an attempt to conquer it, but all attempts ended in failure.

What impressed him most was that golden giant bear. Nothing could withstand its sharp claws; even a Title Douluo-level weapon spirit would be easily severed.

The feeling of that soul power was quite similar to that of the current soul power, the only difference being the attributes.

This must be a special kind of dark attribute. If the Netherworld Zhu family could obtain this dark attribute, their strength would definitely improve even further.

“Zhu Yun, he is very important to our family. You should know what to do.”

After studying her carefully for a long time, the Grand Duke of the Underworld finally looked solemnly at his eldest daughter, placing high hopes on her.

"I understand, daughter!"

Zhu Zhuyun nodded solemnly, understanding the importance of that soul power and that man to the family. Whether she could obtain that power for the family depended on herself.

"If the immortal herb he mentioned can truly raise your spiritual power to the level of a Title Douluo, I, your father, can decide to give you a 100,000-year-old torso soul bone and a 50,000-year-old head soul bone. When you reach level 50, you can go to Sunset Forest to hunt for a 100,000-year-old soul ring."

After some deliberation, the Grand Duke of the Underworld finally gritted his teeth and decided to place a heavy bet on his eldest daughter.

They had hunted 100,000-year-old soul beasts before and obtained many soul bones. One of their family members had a 100,000-year-old torso soul bone that could be refined.

I hadn't decided who to give it to yet, but since my eldest daughter has this opportunity, I'll lend a hand.

Even the Zhu family of the Netherworld needs a prodigy.

"Thank you for the reward, Father!"

Zhu Zhuyun was overjoyed. With a 100,000-year-old torso soul bone and a 50,000-year-old head soul bone, refining a 100,000-year-old soul ring would be foolproof.

In this way, he will have five 100,000-year spirit rings in the future. If he is lucky, he may be able to hunt down the spirit rings of super spirit beasts, which will surely make him even more powerful.

"Is he interested in the title of Protector of the Nation Sword Saint?"

With a smile, the Duke of Youming asked about something, wanting to see what his son-in-law was capable of.

"He also practices swordsmanship and has a strong sword intent. He will definitely challenge all the academy teams tomorrow."

Zhu Zhuyun did not believe that the man could ignore the benefits brought by the title of Guardian Sword Saint. She could tell that the man, like herself, had great ambitions and wanted to make a name for himself.

It's not just about strength, but also about other aspects.

“Alright, I’ll go see what that good son-in-law is capable of tomorrow.”

His smile deepened, and the Duke of the Underworld began to look forward to tomorrow's battle.

He was naturally happy to have another son-in-law of such high caliber, even though the Black Tiger Sect behind him had some conflicts with his family in the past. But those minor conflicts were not a big problem. As long as both sides showed enough benefit, it would be enough to smooth over all the unpleasantness of the past.

Leaving aside the father and daughter discussing this matter, in the Star Luo Imperial Palace on the other side, Davis was also telling his father about it.

"You did the right thing. By using that girl Zhu Yun to get a magical herb to improve yourself, the future of the empire will depend on you."

Emperor Xingluo was very satisfied with his eldest son's decision. Under the circumstances, the eldest son could have refused the man's request, but the man was not limited to choosing Zhu Zhuyun.

The Zhu family has several daughters in this generation. If they were to change their target, their sons wouldn't even get a sip of soup. It's a good deal to give up Zhu Zhuyun in exchange for a magical herb.

Furthermore, there's no need to limit the marriage to Zhu Zhuyun; she has several younger sisters, so there's no need to fixate on just that one girl.

The only loss they suffered in this transaction was a little bit of face. Trading that little bit of face for an opportunity to become a prodigy was a great deal.

Davis was secretly pleased to receive his father's praise, especially his father's last sentence, which was tantamount to sealing the succession to the throne.

"Now that you have this opportunity, it's time for you to know some things."

After taking a deep look at his son below, Emperor Xingluo rose and walked out of the palace.

Davis hurried to catch up, his excitement growing.

It was just a verbal promise before, but I didn't expect it to come in real time so soon.

Soon the father and son arrived at the imperial palace's secret vault. Then, Emperor Xingluo opened a downward-sloping passage in the vault, and the two walked down for more than half an hour before reaching the end.

It was a huge underground space where dozens of royal elders were busy, while many others were bound to crosses and were still unconscious.

"Father, who are they...?"

Davis stared in horror at the people bound to the crosses. He recognized most of them; they were powerful members of the Netherworld Zhu family.

A year ago, he knew that his grandfather had proposed to gather the experts from both families together for closed-door cultivation. The old Duke of Youming even passed on his title and focused on closed-door cultivation. How come the experts of the Zhu family have been turned into this now?

what is the problem?

"Father!"

Upon reaching the end of the underground space, Emperor Xingluo bowed to his father, who was meditating there, and Davis quickly returned the bow to greet him.

"Ok!"

The old emperor opened his eyes and glanced at the two of them, then closed them again to continue his cultivation.

After exchanging greetings, Emperor Xingluo left with his son and began to walk around in the large basement.

"Four years ago, we captured a fallen soul master who could devour other people's martial souls and integrate them into himself, causing the martial soul to mutate and become more powerful."

After capturing him, we conducted in-depth research and finally perfected the technique by combining it with the Netherworld White Tiger fusion technique of the Zhu family.

By devouring a member of the Zhu family of the same level, our White Tiger Martial Soul can evolve into the stronger Netherworld White Tiger, just like a Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

Your imperial grandfather was the first to succeed, and with this he broke through the bottleneck of level ninety-nine, and is currently undergoing a transformation towards becoming a level one hundred god…”

As he recounted this secret to his son, even the Star Luo Emperor, with his calm and collected demeanor, couldn't help but feel excited and thrilled.

Their Star Luo royal family's White Tiger was already a top-tier martial soul, no weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Now, with the help of the Netherworld Zhu family's martial soul, it can advance even further, and it may even be comparable to the Spirit Hall's Six-Winged Angel martial soul.

This is the opportunity for their Star Luo royal family to rise.

In particular, his own father and the old Grand Duke of the Underworld both obtained divine inheritance. Although they were only guardians of the inheritance, they also used the divine test to quickly raise their soul power level to level ninety-nine.

Over the past year, Father has been absorbing and digesting the power of the old Netherworld Grand Duke, and has also used the Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul to refine the old Netherworld Grand Duke's Nine-Tailed Demon Cat Divine Power.

Most importantly, this way, the two divine legacies can be passed down to their Star Luo royal family, enough to create two gods in the future.

If the herb was indeed effective, he decided to give one portion of the divine inheritance to his eldest son, while the other portion would have to be chosen between his second and third sons.

"Royal brother!"

Suddenly seeing a familiar figure, Davis's expression changed slightly.

Because that was the second brother who was supposed to be dead, but now that second brother was still alive, although unconscious, he was breathing and had a heartbeat, he was not dead, could it be...?

Turning to look at his father, Davis quickly looked away, his heart filled with fear.

"Although you weren't the mastermind behind the second brother's affair, you were involved, and you did make mistakes in this matter."

There are some things I can give you, but you cannot take them from me.

He gave a cold warning, indicating that the Star Luo Emperor disliked his eldest son's actions in this matter, as they crossed his bottom line.

"Your subject knows his crime!"

Davis hurriedly knelt down to confess his guilt. At this point, there was no other way but to admit his mistake, otherwise he would only anger his father, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
