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

With a sigh, Qian Daoliu was well aware of the impact of the divine realm's mental power on the Soul Master system. They had to find a new path to adapt to the changes in the external environment, and Tian Hao's suggestion had great potential and was worth a try.

Leaving aside the conversation between the two elderly people, Tian Hao walked out of the Angel Clan's territory through a small path.

After returning home, bathing and changing clothes, he took the Jianjun Sword and headed towards the small building next door.

Upon his return, he sensed the Seven Killings Sword Intent, and even the Asura Seven Killings Sword in his spiritual sea resonated with it, clearly indicating that Sword Douluo Chen Xin resided there.

"I've been waiting for you!"

Upon opening the door, Chen Jianjun carefully examined the young man before him, his gaze finally settling on the Jianjun Sword.

"I've been waiting for you, senior brother!"

Tian Hao returned a smile, then handed over the Jianjun Sword in his hand.

"This is the sword my teacher forged for me with his own sword intent before he died. My teacher also died by this sword."

"My father died at your hands?"

With a sharp look in his eyes, Chen Xin understood the unspoken meaning in the boy's words.

"My teacher said I am a qualified swordsman, but the Grand Elder is not."

Ignoring the sudden chill, Tian Hao asked with a smile, "Senior brother, won't you invite me in for a seat?"

"swordsman!"

Chen Xin suddenly realized that he probably understood his father's thoughts.

Without saying anything more, he led Tian Hao into the living room and sat him down.

Gently stroking the Jianjun Sword in his hand, feeling the Seven Killings Sword Intent belonging to his father within it, he couldn't help but feel his eyes redden.

Does it have a name?

"It originally had no name, but I named it after my teacher, hoping to take it to the pinnacle of swordsmanship, which was also my teacher's last wish."

He replied calmly, while inwardly pondering how to trick this cheap senior brother into coming over.

This person has much greater potential than Yue Guan and Gui Mei, and may even have the potential to reach the peak of level 99.

"Can you reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship?"

She looked up at the boy again, even with a scrutinizing gaze.

Chen Xin did not understand his father's high regard for this person, because he could tell at a glance that the other person's martial spirit was not a sword. If the martial spirit was not a sword, how could he reach the pinnacle of swordsmanship?

“I didn’t have a sword, but my teacher gave me his!”

Tian Hao summoned the Seven Killings Sword of Asura from his spiritual sea and planted it in front of him, his face full of arrogance.

To truly fool this cheap senior brother, the Jianjun Sword alone won't suffice; we'll need to bring out this other sword as well.

"Father!"

Chen Xin stood up abruptly, shocked and excited. Although the color was different, he was 100% certain that it was his father's martial soul, the Seven Kill Sword, and that his own martial soul was resonating with it.

But why didn't this sword disappear along with my father?

Is level 99 really that powerful?

"My teacher passed his sword to me, but left the power of the spirit ring behind to pass on to you, my senior brother. This is the last thing he comprehended."

Sensing the speed at which his soul power was being consumed, Tian Hao quickly retrieved the Seven Kill Sword of Asura. Then, he took out the nine soul rings that had been separated from his martial soul and used his soul power to carry them to Chen Xin.

Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Deception in Progress

"Father's spirit ring?"

Using his soul power to support the nine orbs of light—two yellow, two purple, and five black—Chen Xin was puzzled. He didn't understand why his father would pass on the soul rings to him, or how his father separated the soul rings from his martial soul.

Is level 99 really that powerful?

"The secret techniques of the Battle Soul Sect have been pushed to their limit by our teacher. It is indeed possible to break through to the peak of level 99, but that is already the limit of that path. There is no way to go any further and challenge the legendary level 100 to become a god."

After realizing this at the last moment, the teacher abandoned that path. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to forge a new one, so he could only place his hopes on you, senior brother.

The teacher's mission is to help you reach the pinnacle of level 99; he has already walked that path. There's no point in you going down it again, senior brother. Your mission now is to go even further and become a god at level 100.

Tian Hao spoke with such seriousness, believing that the goal of reaching level 100 and becoming a god was enough to motivate his cheap senior brother to strive for it.

Moreover, this is the teacher's dying wish, senior brother, do you dare to disobey?

"Reaching godhood at level 100 is easier said than done!"

Chen Xin sighed and returned the Jianjun Sword to Tian Hao, which was considered his acknowledgment of his junior brother.

He also knew that following in his father's footsteps would be pointless, since his father had already paved the way. As a son, he wanted to surpass his father's achievements.

Level 99 is already the pinnacle of the Soul Master world; the next level is the legendary level 100, which leads to godhood.

That's too difficult. Although he was very confident in himself, he didn't think he had any hope of reaching that legendary realm.

"It would have been impossible in the past, but with the emergence of the strange changes in the world, we mortals have the hope of becoming gods."

Tian Hao revealed a secret: only by setting a higher goal for this senior brother can he be more motivated and then make certain sacrifices for that goal, such as joining the Spirit Hall.

"Your Spirit Hall really does know the cause of the changes in the world."

With a glint in his eyes, Chen Xin was not surprised that Tian Hao knew the true nature of the changes in the world. After all, the Spirit Hall was a powerful force that claimed to have divine inheritance, so it must know more secrets.

"The anomalies in the world are due to the massive influx of divine power into our world. Divine power is the fundamental energy of the divine realm, just like the primordial energy and elemental power of our world. It is a higher level of power."

There is only one way for us humans to directly absorb and cultivate divine power: to cultivate a certain attribute to its extreme, whether it is a spiritual attribute like the Seven Kill Sword Intent or elemental attributes like wind, fire, thunder, and water.

Once one reaches the pinnacle, one can resonate with the divine power, integrating it into oneself and making it the foundation for godhood.

By revealing the secrets without any hesitation, Tian Hao demonstrated his sincerity.

Dealing with a pure person like Sword Douluo is not difficult in some ways; all you need to do is make the other person owe you enough favors.

The hardest debt to repay in the world is the debt of gratitude, especially for someone like Chen Xin.

"So my father gave up his spirit rings?"

Chen Xin seemed to understand why his father had separated the power of the spirit ring from his martial soul.

"Yes, to reach the ultimate, one must maintain one's own purity. Moreover, in the later stages, spirit rings not only fail to become an aid but also become an obstacle to one's progress."

There are only a few paths for us Soul Masters to become gods: either inherit the divine position of a certain god, or collect the power of faith and spend hundreds or thousands of years accumulating to create our own divine position and become a god.

Either cultivate to the ultimate attribute, thereby absorbing the divine power to transform one's martial soul into a divine beast or artifact, forcibly becoming a god.

Nodding, Tian Hao attributed the changes to the Seven Kill Swords of Asura to his cheap teacher. No matter who asked, it was the teacher who made them, and it had nothing to do with his own martial soul.

That's what I told Qian Daoliu before. Anyway, the teacher is already dead, so it's up to me, Tian, ​​to decide what happens.

"Shouldn't you have told me this top secret?"

Chen Xin suddenly realized that his junior brother had said a bit too much; those secrets should all be top secret in the Spirit Hall.

"The divine power being infused into our world is both a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and the beginning of disaster."

No matter what happens in the realm of gods, the gods will eventually find a way to take back these spiritual powers, which may lead to conflict with us.

We need to become powerful as quickly as possible, even reaching level 100 and becoming a god, before the gods of the divine realm make their move, in order to preserve our achievements.

To fight against the gods of the divine realm, our Spirit Hall alone is far from enough. We need to unite more forces. Originally, the teacher was the best choice, but unfortunately, the teacher's methods were too extreme and too powerful. Even the Grand Elder could not suppress the teacher while ensuring his own safety.

Thankfully, you're here, senior brother. We ultimately chose you.

"Senior brother, are you interested in slaying a god?"

In the end, Tian Hao made a rather crazy suggestion.

"Slay God!"

Manifesting his own martial soul, the Seven Kill Sword, Chen Xin gently stroked the broad blade, feeling somewhat tempted.

That's a god!

"You want me to join the Spirit Hall?"

Chen Xin realized that his junior brother was trying to trick him into joining the Spirit Hall.

"Only if you join the Spirit Hall, Senior Brother, can we pass on some secret techniques for becoming a god to you."

Tian Hao did not deny that when dealing with a straightforward person like Chen Xin, you have to be direct and honest; beating around the bush will only make the other person resentful.

"The secret method for becoming a god?"

Chen Xin became interested. "Does the Spirit Hall even have this?"

"I suppose my senior brother has investigated me and knows what my martial soul is?"

Tian Hao asked with a smile, already fifty percent confident that he could fool Chen Xin.

"I'm not entirely sure, but I have a general idea."

Chen Xin did not deny that he had indeed conducted a brief investigation into this junior brother before, and even visited the junior brother's parents.

"That was the first martial soul I awakened when I was six years old. This is the second martial soul I awakened recently."

Having manifested his second martial soul, the dogtail grass, Tian Hao had long planned to give himself a disguise and reveal himself through his second martial soul.

"A second martial soul? It was just awakened?"

Chen Xin stood up again in shock, staring intently at the foxtail grass martial spirit, and somewhat understood the meaning behind Tian Hao's words.

Is the Spirit Hall now capable of mass-producing twin spirits?

"I remember that Master's wife's martial soul is also a sword-type martial soul. It's just right to reshape the original soul ring that Master separated into a soul ring and then fill it with soul power. I believe that will be enough to help you quickly reach level 99."

Pointing to the nine soul rings, Tian Hao had already made arrangements to help Chen Xin's second martial soul quickly improve, raising its soul power level to level ninety-nine.

This senior brother is truly amazing. His soul power level has already reached level 93, and with a little effort, he will soon reach level 95.

With nine spirit rings, we can definitely push it to level 99.

Once your soul power level reaches level 99, many things will become much easier.

"I don't seem to have a reason to refuse."

After staring at the foxtail grass martial spirit for a long time, Chen Xin said helplessly.

Besides sending his father's ashes to the Douluo Palace, he also wanted to see the disciples his father had taken in before his death. Who would have thought that he would get himself into this mess, and he couldn't refuse?
