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

After all, geniuses are destined to become gods. If they can become gods, why would the Netherworld Zhu family still need to rely on the Star Luo royal family? Wouldn't it be better to separate out and become kings and conquerors?

Unfortunately, Zhu Yun's spiritual talent is extremely rare in the clan. Only one has emerged in hundreds of years, and it is almost impossible to find another like him.

"After this Soul Master Competition, let Zhu Yun come to our Black Tiger Sect. We will cover all her future soul rings and give her two 100,000-year soul bones, one for her head and one for her arm. Your family can also contribute two 100,000-year soul bones. Together, we will nurture this girl."

Wang Hu glanced at Tian Hao, and then, as if making a decision, solemnly proposed to the Duke of Youming. The Duke of Youming was stunned by the grand gesture.

Chapter 535 Netherworld White Tiger Martial Soul

Zhu Zhuyun was stunned when she heard this, and then looked at her father with hopeful eyes.

As the eldest daughter of the Youming Zhu family, she was naturally qualified to know many secrets, such as the fact that the 100,000-year-old soul bone had a problem and could no longer be refined.

Currently, only the 100,000-year-old soul bones obtained in the past can still be refined. Even the Netherworld Zhu family doesn't have many in stock. The torso soul bone that her father promised last time is probably the last 100,000-year-old soul bone that is not in use.

The current Black Tiger Sect Master has promised to give two pieces, one of which is the most precious head soul bone.

If I can get my hands on those two 100,000-year-old soul bones and refine them, I will be absolutely certain that I will succeed in refining my 100,000-year-old soul ring.

"it is good!"

After a while, the Duke of Youming looked at Wang Hu, who was looking serious, and then at his daughter, who was looking hopeful. Finally, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Although the clan only has one 100,000-year soul bone left, they can find a way to plunder it from outside. When they used to hunt 100,000-year soul beasts in the Sunset Forest, they encountered many forces. They must have 100,000-year soul bones in their hands, so they can just grab one.

"father!"

Seeing her father agree, Zhu Zhuyun would have wanted to throw herself at him if she weren't so weak and powerless.

Of course, she didn't forget to thank her fiancé and the Black Tiger Sect Master.

I am so lucky today. Not only did I obtain a magical herb that raised my spiritual power to the level of a Title Douluo, but my martial soul also evolved, and I was able to add new soul rings.

Now we can obtain four more 100,000-year-old soul bones. In the future, we only need to obtain two more to complete the full set of soul bones.

In this way, not only would reaching the peak of a Soul Master at level 99 be no problem, but even becoming a god at level 100 like Sword Douluo would be no problem.

How could she not be excited about such an opportunity?

“Uncle, I am absolutely confident of winning the Soul Master Competition. Afterwards, I will upgrade Xuanhu Academy to Tianmo University. I intend to appoint Zhu Yun as the dean. I would appreciate it if you could use the family’s resources to help me make some concessions.”

Taking the opportunity, Tian Hao revealed the academy's affairs, stating that developing a territory on his own was far from enough. Since he couldn't use the Spirit Hall's power, he had to involve other forces.

The Zhu family of the Netherworld is the best choice.

"Still calling me uncle?"

The Duke of Youming glared at him, feeling extremely satisfied with this son-in-law.

He himself is not only a prodigy, but now he is also helping his daughter have the opportunity to become a prodigy.

Who wouldn't like such a good son-in-law?

"father in law!"

Tian Hao understood and called out to his father-in-law, which was also part of his plan.

This address of "father-in-law" not only made the Duke of Youming feel very comfortable, but also put Tian Hao at ease.

Compared to that, he still preferred to scheme against his father-in-law. For example, his cooperation with his father-in-law Tang Zhen last time was extremely pleasant, and they tricked the Haotian Sect so badly that they buried one pit after another.

Now that I call him "father-in-law," I feel much more at ease, and I'm more motivated to do things.

"Ok!"

Nodding in satisfaction, the Grand Duke of the Underworld pondered for a moment before solemnly saying, "Providing you with some conveniences is acceptable, but the scale cannot be too large. This is determined by the characteristics of our family; otherwise, it will cause a lot of trouble."

He understood his son-in-law's intention: to join forces to expand and strengthen Tianmo University. He was also very interested in this, as it would be a win-win situation. However, some things cannot be done on a whim.

They need to consider all aspects, especially the attitude of the Star Luo royal family.

Ultimately, the Youming Zhu family were merely subjects, not masters.

Wang Hu frowned at the opportune moment, as if following the script, to express his dissatisfaction.

"I can understand my father-in-law's concerns to some extent. This approach would certainly have been correct in the past, but in today's turbulent times, no one can predict what the future holds."

We can only make more preparations to deal with the major risks that may come in the future. In such a situation, having an extra way out is an extra layer of insurance.

"If, by some chance, the Star Luo Empire sinks in the future, will my father-in-law and his entire family be dragged down with it?"

Tian Hao nodded in deep understanding, and then earnestly offered his advice, full of sincerity.

He's a master at deceiving people; he no longer needs to use fake stuff to fool them, and his words no longer need to be mostly true, but rather full of solid, practical information.

This kind of absolute truth is most touching, especially to intelligent people.

The fact that the Grand Duke of Youming was able to stand out from his many brothers and succeed to the position of Grand Duke shows that he is a top-notch intelligent person, and he can understand his son-in-law's words.

"I need to think about this carefully."

After hesitating for a moment, the Grand Duke of the Underworld neither immediately agreed nor refused.

The principle is sound, but just because it's correct doesn't mean it can be done; it requires considering all aspects.

"Are these the self-created soul skills you used that day?"

His gaze shifted to the books that his son-in-law and the fairy herb had given him, and the Duke of Youming had some guesses about them.

Since the cover of the top book says "Heavenly Demon Meditation Method," and considering that the son-in-law's martial soul is the brand-new Heavenly Demon Tiger, and even the academy is preparing to change its name to Heavenly Demon University, it's easy to guess what this Heavenly Demon Meditation Method represents.

"These are the soul skills that I, your son-in-law, have selected from among the self-created soul skills that are suitable for Zhu Yun to use. They will definitely help Zhu Yun's strength reach a new level."

Tian Hao only mentioned Zhu Zhuyun, but the Duke of Youming was a smart man and could naturally tell that this was actually a gift for the Zhu family of Youming.

This dowry is indeed very generous, no less than that magical herb, and it will benefit the entire family.

"I believe that all my misfortunes stem from my own lack of strength. If I had enough strength, why would I need to be mindful of their opinions?"

Then he said something cryptic, but Tian Hao meant something else.

That's all he could say; the rest is up to his father-in-law to decide.

"Don't go back to the hotel for a while. Come to my residence and have a good talk with Zhuyun."

Without responding, the Grand Duke of the Underworld extended a warm invitation.

As I said before, there are some things he needs to think through before he can do them, and he can't go too far before that.

Tian Hao was already satisfied with this and didn't press the matter further. He believed his father-in-law would make the right choice.

Even if my father-in-law himself is not decisive enough, the Star Luo Royal Family's Netherworld White Tiger Plan will force him to be decisive.

And so, Tian Hao moved into the ancestral land of the Youming Zhu family, even into Zhu Zhuyun's small villa.

As the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuyun owns a three-story villa in the clan's territory, which has many rooms, so naturally, she doesn't need Tian Hao's.

As for the qualifying rounds, he doesn't need to worry about them; Wang Jue and the others can handle that.

After settling his son-in-law in, the Grand Duke of Youming personally took the immortal herb to the palace.

He wouldn't trust anyone else with such a valuable treasure, otherwise, if something went wrong, it would be difficult to explain.

"How was the result?"

After examining the immortal herb for a while, Emperor Xingluo asked a question.

He wasn't blind; from the joy on the face of the Underworld Grand Duke, he could tell that Zhu Zhuyun had definitely taken the medicine, and that the effect should be quite good.

"Zhu Yun's mental strength has improved significantly, possibly because she has a certain mental talent and has absorbed the medicinal power perfectly. Now her mental strength is twice as strong as mine."

The Grand Duke of the Underworld replied that he was very satisfied with that immortal herb, whose value was no less than that of a 100,000-year-old head bone, and perhaps even higher.

It's a pity that the other one had already been promised to Prince Davis, otherwise he would have wanted to intercept it.

Even if they can't mutate and evolve into a top-tier martial soul like Zhu Yun, at least they can give a member of the clan the opportunity to refine a 100,000-year soul ring.

Pity!

"Weiss!"

After giving his old partner, the Grand Duke of the Underworld, a deep look, Emperor Xingluo used his soul power to lift the immortal herb in his hand to his eldest son, indicating that he should swallow and refine it.

He had already used his mental and spiritual power to investigate, but he couldn't find anything. In addition, they didn't have any experts in pharmacology, so it was highly unlikely that they would be able to figure anything out.

It would be better to let the eldest son refine and improve his spiritual power as soon as possible, so that he can devour that member of the Netherworld Zhu family and evolve his martial soul into the Netherworld White Tiger.

Although the method of devouring and fusing has been perfected, it requires a sufficiently strong mental force as a foundation in order to refine it perfectly.

It's a good thing to let the eldest son absorb this immortal herb as soon as possible, so that he can cultivate it earlier. For example, he can hunt for a 100,000-year-old spirit ring for the next one.

The fifth spirit ring can reach the level of 100,000 years, and the advantages gained are unimaginable to ordinary people.

Davis, who had been eagerly waiting, caught the immortal herb and swallowed it. Then he sat down cross-legged and meditated, circulating his soul power to help refine the immortal herb.

Compared to Tian Hao's efforts in tinkering with mutations, Davis's side was much more uneventful.

The main reason is that Davis's White Tiger Martial Soul is already a top-tier Martial Soul that is no weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul, and its grade is sufficient. In addition, with the Netherworld White Tiger Project, there is no need to guide the Martial Soul to mutate.

More importantly, like Zhu Zhuyun, Davis possesses a rare spiritual talent, which is why he was able to obtain the spirit attack type soul skill, White Tiger Annihilation.

This is also the main reason why Tian Hao chose Davis as a pawn. After all, the Seven Deadly Sins Gods are all of the emotional and spiritual type, and those who want to assume a godhood must pay more attention to the cultivation of their spiritual power.

Without spiritual talent, even if Tian Hao secretly nurtured Davis into a level 100 god, the Seven Deadly Sins God might not even take him seriously.

Therefore, mental talent is the key.

It was precisely because of this spiritual talent that Davis was able to refine the immortal herbs perfectly, with almost no waste.

Four hours later, there was no mutation of the martial soul, nor separation of the soul rings. The only difference was that the spiritual power was raised to a level comparable to a level 96 Title Douluo, which was even greater than the increase in Zhu Zhuyun's spiritual power.

Without even asking, sensing that his son's spiritual power was far stronger than his own, Emperor Xingluo couldn't help but smile.

As expected, the Black Tiger Sect was very sincere and seemed to want to resolve past conflicts in order to gain the support of the Empire for vigorous development.

After chatting with his old friend for a while, Emperor Xingluo signaled for him to go back, and then took his son to the secret place below the secret vault.

Although we didn't notice anything wrong before, that doesn't mean there's really no problem. We need to let the father take a look before we can be truly at ease.

……

"Such a wondrous thing exists in the world!"

Deep within the secret realm, after examining his grandson's spiritual sea, the old emperor was greatly astonished. He had thought his own path to godhood was already quite remarkable, but his grandson's was no less fortunate.

"Father?"
