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

"That's the difficulty that makes making a decision so hard."

Rubbing his forehead, Tang Chen was at a loss for what to do, and even the Asura divine sense within the imprint was uncertain.

With their current abilities, they could remove that soul bone without damage. However, that soul bone has extraordinary potential, no weaker than an external soul bone, and has already evolved to a level comparable to a 300,000-year-old soul bone. If it devours the excess soul power of all of Tang San's future soul rings, and even the soul bones of those soul beasts, it would not be difficult for it to evolve to the god level.

Having a divine-level soul bone in his body would greatly help Tang San bear the position of the Asura God. In fact, if he could evolve the invincible golden body soul bone skill to the divine level, he could use it as a foundation to temporarily strengthen his body, allowing Tang San to perfectly bear the power of the Asura God and the Sea God, and his combat power would definitely be further enhanced.

However, this would prevent Tang San from rapidly increasing his soul power level by refining high-quality soul rings. If he were to cultivate slowly on his own, he would have to wait until he was at least thirty years old to reach the Title Douluo level.

As for level 90 and above, it's not a big problem; you can improve through the Divine Test.

But thirty years old is too long, especially at this stage when the God of Destruction has met his end. Can they really wait that long?

Although he had considered extracting the soul bone first, allowing Xiao San to reach level 90 by refining a high-age soul ring, and then integrating the soul bone back into the soul bone.

However, he couldn't be sure if this would affect the evolutionary characteristics of that soul bone. If he lost those evolutionary characteristics, he would suffer a huge loss.

I'm so conflicted!

"Any news from Blue Tyrant Academy?"

After hesitating for a while, Tang Chen asked about Blue Tyrant Academy.

Although he didn't go to watch the finals, just watching the recording was very impressive.

That Xiao Lang is too monstrous, more terrifying than any of the geniuses who have appeared before. His strange fire can even refine divine power and form a new strange fire, which is equivalent to divine power being added to his body, and it is still so much divine power.

Even if the power of the strange fire is not as great as divine power after it is formed, the combination of so many divine-level strange fires is still terrifying.

He wasn't afraid of facing that kid in the future, but he was afraid that the kid would use the strange fire to cultivate a powerful team, which would be the biggest obstacle for Xiao San to win the championship next time, and he had to get rid of it as soon as possible.

"Recruit students normally and establish an academy."

They joined forces with the Academy of Botany to conquer that vast desert in the northwest corner of the Star Luo Empire, and together with the Academy, they planted trees there, seemingly intending to transform it into a forest.

Ning Fengzhi replied that he was mainly responsible for intelligence gathering and analysis here, so he was very clear about the movements of Blue Tyrant Academy and Plant Academy.

"Haven't you found that boy with the strange fire yet?"

When asked about that boy with the strange fire, Tang Chen felt quite troubled.

That kid was clearly not ordinary; he knew he was being targeted, and since the end of the Soul Master Competition, he seemed to have vanished into thin air, never showing up again.

Even though Jiangzhu and the other two did not show up, Qin Ming continued to be in charge of Blue Tyrant Academy.

They couldn't find anyone to take action against, and even destroying Blue Tyrant Academy wouldn't be of any use if they didn't deal with that boy with the strange fire.

"They're deliberately hiding; they're not that easy to find."

Gu Rong was also quite helpless. He thought he was cautious enough, but who would have thought that the boy with the strange fire was even more cautious and wouldn't give him any chance at all.

They're not showing themselves now, just hiding in the shadows. If we were to wipe out Blue Tyrant Academy once, it would only enrage them.

If they were to emerge and rebuild their sect in the future, someone might secretly send them a Divine Wrath Lotus, which would destroy the entire mountain.

If you can't kill that kind of opponent in one blow, you should never make a move, otherwise you'll only cause endless trouble later.

"That damn kid."

The thought of this made Tang Chen furious; he wished he could skin that chubby boy alive and tear him to pieces.

The young man with the strange fire was doing well at Blue Tyrant Academy and keeping a low profile, but Ma Hongjun insisted on stealing his love, causing such a big trouble and making him a mortal enemy of their Haotian Sect.

If it weren't for that incident, they might have already brought it under their control, and everyone in their Haotian Sect would have a suitable different kind of flame.

Too pit!

"The Academy of Plant Sciences also needs to be careful. Their tree planting and afforestation cultivation method is very efficient. Their soul power increases more than twice as fast as normal cultivation. In addition, with the enhancement brought by their domain and group martial soul fusion skills, the teams participating in the next Soul Master Competition will probably be very difficult to deal with."

Ning Fengzhi emphasized the College of Botany.

A year ago, the Plant Academy also performed quite well in the Soul Master Competition. Their group martial soul fusion skill had great potential, and once they got through the initial stage, they were basically invincible in the mid and late stages.

Will that little girl and that girl from the Undying Sect participate in the next Soul Master Competition?

With a more serious expression, Tang Chen had to admit the potential of the Plant Academy. If that little girl were to participate in the next Soul Master Competition, it would be quite a problem.

Especially since that girl with the Nine Heart Begonia Tree Martial Soul has also joined the Plant Academy, if those two girls join forces, they might become an obstacle for Xiao San and the others to win the championship.

"They have become teachers in the botanical college."

Ning Fengzhi replied simply, believing that the two girls would most likely not participate in the Soul Master Competition again, since they had become academy teachers and were no longer students.

"Then there's no need to pay attention to it."

Tang Chen didn't care anymore. If those two girls joined forces to participate, they would have some ability, but if they didn't participate, the students in the Plant Academy alone would be far from enough, and it would even be a question whether they could form that kind of martial soul fusion skill again.

After all, the key to that spirit fusion skill is that little girl from the Blue Silver Tree. Without that little girl as the foundation, it would be almost impossible for the Plant Academy to cultivate a team that can use the seven-in-one spirit fusion skill.

Furthermore, plant-type soul masters rarely possess top-tier martial souls; it is inherently a weak category of martial souls, so there's no need to worry about it too much.

Compared to other schools, Blue Tyrant Academy, which possesses a unique fire system, poses a greater threat and may even be the next formidable opponent.

Leaving aside the discussions between Tang Chen and his group, on the other side, far away in the northwest corner of the Star Luo Empire, in the vast desert, the teachers and students of the Botanical Academy were planting trees on the edge of the desert.

This is also their cultivation method. In the process of nurturing various plants, they can better understand the growth process of plants and apply their soul skills. This is of great help to both their understanding of martial souls and the development of soul rings.

In addition, they can learn how to combine various plants to create a simulated training ground that suits them.

"We transformed another kilometer-radius area of ​​desert today. Everyone worked hard!"

Having completed her training task for the day, Yao Zi said, indicating that everyone could rest.

This cultivation method was proposed by Xiao Lan, and it works very well, much faster than the normal cultivation method of the past.

Although it was a bit tough, the enthusiasm of the group grew even higher as they felt the significant increase in their soul power and strength.

They all set a goal for themselves: to conquer this desert and turn it into a vast forest. They even planned to attract some less ferocious soul beasts to further improve the ecological cycle here.

Furthermore, this vast desert has already been divided between their two major academies by the Star Luo Empire. As long as it is governed well, it can serve as the foundation for establishing a duchy, a country that belongs to them.

This alone makes it far superior to other Soul Master academies.

Of course, they themselves are not very interested in establishing a nation, but this place will be their home.

The sense of accomplishment from building a home with your own hands is unimaginable for most people.

Upon hearing Yao Zi's words, everyone cheered and then began to cook.

Lin Feng, the dean, huddled together with Qin Ming, the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, to discuss the matter, holding a map in their hands.

In the vast desert, a map itself is of little significance, not to mention the lack of any iconic objects; the sand dunes themselves are constantly changing with the wind and sand.

Having a map is useless, but the two people have different maps; one is a map of an underground river.

It's not impossible to transform a desert into a forest, but the prerequisite is sufficient water. Without water, even if they use their soul skills to quickly create a forest, it will wither and die soon, which would be meaningless.

Therefore, water is very important, but there are no large enough rivers around the desert to divert surface water, so they can only focus on groundwater, especially underground rivers.

"These are the only natural underground rivers that we can utilize. This year's expansion plan is fine, but next year we'll have to manually create underground rivers."

Pointing to the underground river veins shown on the map, Qin Feng took a sip of water and said.

Although there are underground rivers in this desert, they are few and far between, insufficient to support the transformation of the entire desert. Therefore, they need to artificially create underground rivers.

"The sand here is at least 100 meters deep. Can an underground river created by humans be stable?"

Lin Feng expressed his concern. Although he had no experience in this area, he knew how troublesome the sand was.

Sand, like water, cannot maintain a fixed shape, making it virtually impossible to drill holes and create a riverbed.

However, if the underground river is dug too deep, plant roots will have difficulty reaching that depth, which would also be meaningless.

This is an unsolvable problem, but since Qin Ming brought it up, there must be a solution.

“We can’t excavate a stable riverbed using ordinary methods, but we can first use a strange fire to burn the sand into magma, and then cool it into lava. This way, we can use it to create a passage for an underground river.”

After they explained their proposed solution, Qin Ming knew it was a huge undertaking, but the teachers and students of Blue Tyrant Academy were absolutely confident that they could succeed, and had even already begun working on it.

In this way, with the Blue Tyrant Academy responsible for opening up waterways underground and the Botanical Academy responsible for expanding vegetation and forests above, it's only a matter of time before they transform this desert.

Furthermore, this is also a very good way to cultivate, without hindering one's own strength improvement, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Chapter 639 Refined by Strange Fire

After recovering quickly through the Blue Silver Divine Tree, Tian Hao did not immediately leave seclusion, but stayed inside to cultivate again.

The last time he sacrificed himself, he unleashed all his power for two reasons: first, to bring out the Chaos Divine Fire; and second, after his soul underwent a transformation, he gained new insights into the cultivation system. He realized that his previous cultivation foundation had some imperfections and needed to be rebuilt.

After seven years of arduous cultivation, Tian Hao finally regained his divine status and even made further progress, reaching level 110 in soul power, or divine power.

That's right, he pushed the limits of the Douluo Continent ten levels higher.

The original level 100 was the limit; there was no way to improve it further, no matter how talented one was. This was the limit of the world.

But Tian Hao is different. He is the chosen one of the plane, able to resonate and communicate with the will of the plane. Not to mention, he also created the Heavenly Tribulation system for the Soul Master system, breaking through the path for Soul Masters to become gods on their own.

At that time, the limit of level 100 in the plane had already been broken. Now, we have only pushed the limit to level 110.

At this point, he did not improve further, but silently waited for the will of the Douluo plane to adapt, and used himself as a template to create a new limit, which is the bottleneck of level 110.

Only by creating that bottleneck can the Soul Master system truly reach level 110.

This is different from the evolution of the future Douluo plane after it devours the Abyss plane; it is a breakthrough in the laws of a plane.

Of course, this is also mainly due to the integration of a large amount of divine power; otherwise, the will of the plane would not have the energy to surpass the limit and create a new limit.

Moreover, this new realm, unique to the Soul Master system, is not suppressed by the laws of the plane, allowing one to unleash their full combat power, unlike those who break through by relying on divine positions and are suppressed by the laws.

He is now capable of fighting against a first-level god on his own, which is the advantage of fighting on home ground.

If he could make another breakthrough, reach level 120, and condense a billion-year soul ring to enhance his power, even if he didn't become the ruler of this plane, he could still compete with the God King in this plane.

If he could break through to level 130 and fuse and transform into a billion-year soul ring, he was confident that he could kill the God King in this plane, just like Tang Hao killed the Abyss Saint King in the original trajectory of fate.

"The lifespan is about eight million years. In another year, it will be close to ten million years. When it merges again, it will definitely be stable."

Within the Blue Silver Divine Tree, Tian Hao manifested his martial soul, the Nine-Leaf Dogtail Sword Grass. Looking at the numerous golden-based spirit rings on it, he estimated that he could push the spirit ring's age to 9,999,999 years in a year at most, infinitely close to the 10 million year level.

If the spirit rings are fused at that time, they will definitely be able to completely transform into spirit rings that are tens of millions of years old.

Although a soul ring with a lifespan of tens of millions of years was formed last time, it was only a temporary fusion because the lifespan of the soul itself was insufficient, and it was very unstable. Just like a martial soul fusion skill, it was not a complete fusion and evolution.

At that time, he guessed that the spirit ring might not be old enough. He tried it and found that the spirit ring could only fully evolve after reaching the limit of that level and fusing.

For example, it takes the fusion of multiple white spirit rings with a lifespan of ninety-nine years to completely evolve into a yellow spirit ring with a lifespan of one hundred years. It is a process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change, and the quantity must be sufficient.
