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

"I understand what you mean, sir. I am already very satisfied with this recovery."

Xu Tianran said he understood. To put it simply, it was just a change from high-level paraplegia to a disability in both legs. Although both are disabilities, the meanings are very different.

Previously, the absence of legs damaged his vital energy and reduced his potential significantly, making it difficult for him to become a Super Douluo in this lifetime. Now, although the transplanted legs are not normal, they can at least make up for the missing vital energy, allowing him to achieve full power even when using his Martial Soul True Body.

Not to mention, he can also find a soul bone to integrate with. With his status as the Crown Prince of the Sun and Moon, what kind of soul bone can't he find?

As long as we get the intelligence, we can seize it even if we have to steal it.

"May I carry out your god-making project and body-martial spirit transformation?"

When asked about something, Xu Tianran had always been very interested in this person's god-making project and research on the transformation of the body into a martial spirit.

Although he was confident that he could break through to level 99 or even level 100 and become a god with the existence of the soul guide and soul core concept, it would be even better to add the god-making project and the transformation of his body into a martial soul if possible.

"The God-Making Project won't work, mainly because your Martial Soul attribute is too powerful and extreme. At this stage, there are no materials that can withstand that kind of destructive power. If you were to transform your body into a Martial Soul, your legs wouldn't be suitable. The cells inside are too fragile. If you were to force the transformation into a Martial Soul, the cells in your legs would probably collapse first."

Tian Hao told the truth that he currently did not have any materials capable of bearing the destructive power. He had spent a lot of effort in the past to forge and upgrade the Clear Sky Divine Sword, and that was only by using the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul to bear it. It was not until he obtained the Forging God's Forging Hammer that he solved the problem of real materials.

Although the Forging God's Hammer is only a main artifact, its material strength is comparable to that of a super artifact, enough to withstand destructive power.

Therefore, the Haotian Divine Sword is the most difficult to forge and upgrade among the five super artifacts, and also the most difficult to control. It is precisely because of this that he has never sought a master for the Haotian Divine Sword. Even in this era, only Wang Qiu'er, who has taken human form, has the potential to bear the destructive power.

"Hopefully, we can find that material in the starry sky."

Xu Tianran was not surprised by this. After learning that even his great-uncle had not been able to find materials that could support the Sun Martial Soul, he knew that he probably wouldn't be able to either.

His Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon Martial Soul is of the Destruction attribute, which is more extreme and domineering than the Sun Martial Soul. It is normal that there are no special materials in this world that can support it.

Now we can only pin our hopes on the starry sky; if only we could find it there.

"Your martial soul attribute is too extreme and domineering. The more you cultivate, the greater the burden on your body will be. I will help you transform your body into a martial soul, but to perfectly bear it, you need to cultivate your body to the level of a third-generation super warrior, which is the gold-level awakening of the original martial soul, reaching the level where the sect master of the original body sect cannot be poisoned to death."

In addition, you need to find a set of soul bones with the power attribute. Soul bones with that attribute have the highest strength and the strongest resistance, and can better bear your martial soul power. The higher the age, the better, preferably at the 100,000-year level.

"Of course, the life attribute is better. Although life and destruction are opposing attributes, my research on your destruction attribute soul power has revealed that the two powers can be fused, and there's a tendency for transformation after fusion. Perhaps you can obtain a stronger power attribute. You can give it a try."

After completing Xu Tianran's double leg transplant, Tian Hao gave him one last piece of advice.

Although he did not think Xu Tianran was a good pawn or partner, his martial soul, the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon, had great potential, and he could make some plans in this regard, specifically targeting his own disciple.

As for the 100,000-year-old soul bone, the traps specially set by the soul beast inside had long been broken by the Asura God Xiao Wu. However, even so, it would still take hundreds or thousands of years of nurturing to completely remove them.

Therefore, 100,000-year-old soul bones are not uncommon in this era, such as the head soul bone that Vina obtained earlier.

Hunting 100,000-year-old soul beasts is much more difficult, because these beasts are now concentrated in the Star Dou Great Forest and the Xuanbing Empire in the far north, both of which have become forbidden zones for humans.

In particular, the soul beasts in the far north have established an imperial civilization and are more united. No one has been able to cross that Great Wall of Mystic Ice for tens of thousands of years, let alone go in to hunt soul beasts that have been around for hundreds of thousands of years.

Nowadays, the only place with this opportunity is the vast ocean, but hunting sea spirit beasts in the ocean is extremely difficult.

Therefore, there are soul bones that are 100,000 years old on the mainland, but there won't be many.

"Thank you for the reminder, sir. I will remember it!"

Propelling himself to sit up, Xu Tianran nodded solemnly to indicate that he had made a mental note.

Such guidance from a master is invaluable, so naturally, it must be remembered.

"Rest for a few days to get used to your new legs, and then I'll help you transform your body into a martial spirit."

As Tian Hao spoke, he took out a pair of exoskeleton prostheses that he had made in his spare time over the past few days and gestured for Xu Tianran to put them on.

"Aren't they collecting experimental data over there?"

Xu Tianran was stunned. He remembered that the research base of the Heavenly Soul Empire was still conducting experiments and collecting data. Their Sun Moon Empire had contributed nearly a million volunteers for this.

"That's just to promote the transformation of the body into a martial spirit, so that it can be applied to anyone. I can customize it, but that would consume a lot of my computing power. Even for one person, it would take several days to calculate. Using experimental data to improve it is the simplest way."

This also serves as a chance to clean up the dregs of this era, paving the way for our foray into space.

Tian Hao didn't hide anything, and his cold words resonated with Xu Tianran.

He was that kind of person, especially after what happened back then, his heart hardened even more, and he was willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

"Everyone has goals. My goal is to lead the empire to an unprecedented peak. What are your life goals, sir?"

Xu Tianran suddenly asked, because he had never been able to see through this person from beginning to end, and he was extremely wary of him. He didn't even know the other party's ultimate goal, which made him feel very uncertain.

"Our goals are not conflicting, and we can continue to cooperate and achieve win-win results."

The blue light bar glanced at Xu Tianran, and Tian Hao turned and left the lab. Not long after, Ju Zi walked in.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on regaining your integrity!"

Orange congratulated him, expressing her joy at Xu Tianran's recovery.

"Still a little short, but I can finally get rid of that wheelchair."

Trying to use the prosthetic limbs he was wearing to help him move forward, Xu Tianran was very satisfied with the results of this treatment. Although he was not completely cured, it was much better than he had expected.

Moreover, it is not impossible to truly recover. As long as one can cultivate to become a god, one can use the transformation of becoming a god to completely recover.

"You've followed him for so long, have you figured out what his ultimate goal is?"

While getting used to his legs, Xu Tianran secretly used his soul power to send a telepathic message.

That person's abilities are too strong; if he can't figure out the other party's ultimate goal, he won't be able to sleep peacefully.

As someone in a position of power, what I dislike most is this kind of uncertainty.

"The teacher is very mysterious, but I have a vague feeling that his target is not our Sun Moon Empire, or even our world."

Ju Zi had anticipated that Xu Tianran would ask this question, and shared the results of her observations over the past few months.

One of her missions was to investigate the teacher's ultimate goal, but unfortunately, the teacher was too mysterious, and he always used that kind of soul-guided mecha body, so she couldn't analyze him through facial expressions. Dealing with such a person was also very difficult for her.

Why do you say that?

Xu Tianran stopped in his tracks. Could it be that his trusted confidant had made some kind of discovery?

"A woman's intuition!"

He replied that he hadn't noticed anything in the past few months, and was just judging based on his intuition.

Xu Tianran's eye twitched slightly; he really didn't know what to say about this reason.

"How is your learning from you, sir?"

When asked about his progress in learning the new Soul Guidance System, Xu Tianran explained that he needed to master that power because it represented the future.

"The teacher's soul guidance system is built on the microscopic world. To truly master it, one must condense one's spiritual power to the point of touching the microscopic level; otherwise, it is meaningless. Currently, only the teacher can do it."

Ju Zi was quite helpless about this. She had roughly figured out the new soul guidance system created by her teacher, but the problem was that in order to get involved in the microscopic level, she had to condense her mental power to a certain degree. Right now, she couldn't even extend her mental power out of her body, let alone control and shape the soul guidance core.

This is a hardware requirement; there's no shortcut to it.

"Take these two soul bones and refine them. Master the new soul guidance system as soon as possible. I will find you four more soul bones with life attributes later. I will need your help in my future cultivation."

After some thought, Xu Tianran took out two soul bones, one a head soul bone and the other a right arm soul bone. The right arm soul bone was of the life attribute and had an age of 80,000 years.

After learning how to restore his legs from that person half a month ago, he ordered people to find a high-quality soul bone with life attribute, and a few days ago this right arm soul bone was delivered.

Unfortunately, it wasn't a 100,000-year-old soul bone, so he didn't want to refine it.

He is a proud man, and if he is going to do something, he must do it perfectly. The soul bones he refines in the future can only be 100,000 years old, so as to increase the chance of becoming a god at level 100.

Not to mention that the route you mentioned is the path to godhood through heavenly tribulations, which took place ten thousand years ago. Over the past ten thousand years, some people have attempted and triggered heavenly tribulations, but without exception, they all died halfway through. The highest recorded in history was only the sixth tribulation.

Without the support of his master's creation of a physical martial spirit, a soul guide core, and a brand-new natal soul tool, he wouldn't have been confident of traversing such a perilous path.

However, to ensure everything goes perfectly, one's own soul bone configuration must be perfect.

He didn't want the life-attribute soul bones the gentleman mentioned; he preferred to have them all have strength and lightning attributes to maximize the chances of success.

As for nourishing the legs, let Ju Zi, my trusted confidante, handle that.

"Thank you for the reward, Your Highness!"

Orange respectfully accepted the two soul bones, her gaze especially fixed on the head soul bone.

Judging from its aura, it is no less powerful than the head soul bone that Vina refined back then. It is obviously a 100,000-year-old soul bone. Once such a top-grade soul bone is refined, it will definitely greatly enhance one's spiritual power and allow one to better access the teacher's new soul guidance system.

"I remember there was a record in those images from ten thousand years ago that a food-type Soul Master developed his own Martial Soul into a plant-type Martial Soul, and even created a special category called Seed-type Martial Soul. Your Orange Martial Soul can also be considered a Seed-type Martial Soul. Find an opportunity to ask you, sir, if you can evolve your Martial Soul into a plant-type Martial Soul."

Recalling a piece of intelligence, Xu Tianran became even more attentive to oranges.

Orange herself has good talent. Even if she can't become a Title Douluo through her own cultivation, becoming a Soul Douluo is no problem.

But that wasn't enough. He wanted this confidant to continue assisting him in his cultivation until he became a god. In that case, Ju Zi would have to be strengthened, including his martial soul. This was also a major reason why he ultimately decided to give Ju Zi the life-attribute right arm soul bone.

As for the head soul bone, it was something he specifically came to give to Ju Zi so that she could quickly master the new soul guidance system; that was equally important.

"Yes, sir!"

Ju Zi bowed and agreed, saying that she also wanted to walk this road.

"Master the new Soul Guidance System as soon as possible, as well as the master's god-making project. Duke White Tiger is nearing the end. The Star Luo Royal Family can no longer tolerate him. You have great talent in military affairs, and I will arrange for you to join the army to practice."

A cold smile appeared on his face. Xu Tianran had never relaxed his attention to the three great empires on the Douluo Continent, especially the strongest one, the Star Luo Empire. He was naturally aware of the changes in the Star Luo Empire in the past two years, especially in Star Luo City.

The events that occurred on the surface revealed deeper hidden matters, indicating that unrest had clearly broken out within Xingluo as well.

If this had happened in the past, he would have definitely seized the opportunity to swallow up the Star Luo Empire.

But now he has a grander goal, and he no longer cares about the Star Luo Empire itself. Compared to that, it is more important to advance into the starry sky as soon as possible, and it would be best to find materials that can bear his own destructive power to start the god-making project.

Only with the addition of that god-making project could he have absolute confidence that he could withstand the power of that heavenly tribulation and thus reach level 100 and become a god.

"The Duke's mansion and the Star Luo royal family have fallen out?"

Orange was stunned. How could such a thing have happened so suddenly?

How did the two of them fall out?

"The Duke's Mansion and the Star Luo Royal Family are not one entity. Imperial power is not so easy to relinquish. The White Tiger Dukes of all generations have been looking for an opportunity to reclaim the throne. Otherwise, why do you think they have been holding onto the Western Army Group of the Star Luo Empire for thousands of years?"

Since that war more than four thousand years ago, most of the wars between our Sun Moon Empire and the Star Luo Empire have been initiated by the Duke's Mansion. This is called nurturing an enemy to enhance their own importance. The Western Army Group is also their greatest asset.

Xu Jiawei wants to force Dai Hao to rebel and become a traitor, so we'll give him a hand. A powerful Star Luo Empire is not what I want to see.

With purple light flashing in his eyes, Xu Tianran could disregard the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire, but the Star Luo Empire was different.

The Star Luo Empire is not only vast in territory and powerful in national strength, but its Duke's Mansion also has close ties with Shrek Academy, making it a huge threat.

The falling out between the Star Luo royal family and the Duke's mansion is a good thing for their Sun Moon Empire. It would be best to secretly work on it and split the Star Luo Empire in two, just like the Heaven Dou Empire ten thousand years ago.

In this way, there will be no empire in the world that can rival their Star Luo Empire, and they will have one less powerful competitor when they venture into space in the future.
