Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

Gradually, this energy grew to an unprecedented size.

If you can't hold on any longer and stop, then the increase in lifespan will also stop. If you want to reach 100,000 years, you have to keep going until the soul ring stops releasing energy.

Ning Xingchen's body continuously absorbed energy, and it took about fifteen days for the spirit ring to finish releasing its energy.

When the energy release ended, the spirit rings had almost fully fused with the martial soul, and Ning Xingchen's spirit power was constantly increasing.

Level 81, Level 82...

Ning Xingchen's soul power eventually stopped at around level 84.5.

Feeling the immense soul power within him, and now that he was also capable of fighting with the title of Nine Star Swords, Ning Xingchen wouldn't need to run away if he encountered the Heavenly Wolf Douluo again.

After all, his soul power had been enhanced, his sword heart had been established, and he had comprehended the first five forms of the Nine Star Swords, while he was still working on the sixth form.

If we really have to point out any flaws, Ning Xingchen is still missing a few suitable soul bones.

It didn't take Ning Xingchen too long to absorb the divinely bestowed soul ring; it took about twenty days.

"Xingchen, you're already a Soul Douluo?" Ning Dingling exclaimed in amazement at Ning Xingchen's progress, considering that Ning Xingchen was only just over nineteen years old.

“Yes, sister, you’ve made a lot of progress in the past year or so, and you’re already at level 67,” Ning Xingchen said.

Ning Dingling was level 67, A Yin was level 65, and Liu Erlong reached level 60 a month before Ning Xingchen absorbed the divine soul ring.

After Ning Xingchen accompanied him to absorb soul rings outside Medicine God Valley, he also became a Soul Emperor of level 61.

As for Sword Douluo, he is still at the peak of level 96. It is not easy for him to break through to level 97. He still needs to accumulate experience.

Ning Dingling is excited to think that she can take the Qiluo Yujin Pill once she reaches level 70.

"Xingchen, when are we going back to the sect?" Ning Dingling asked. She was still a little worried about the sect, since they had been away for more than a year and a half at a time.

Ning Xingchen said, "Sister, please wait for me for three more days. There are many immortal items and rare medicinal herbs here. We may not come here often in the future, so I want to transplant some to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."

While Medicine God Valley does accelerate the growth of medicinal herbs, it is still inferior to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and besides, it is too far from the sect.

“That would be even better, especially the Qiluo tulips; we must bring back as many as possible,” Ning Dingling said.

"Don't worry, sis."

Over the next three days, Ning Xingchen collected immortal seeds using the methods passed down from the Medicine God, taking away all the ones that could be taken away for transplantation.

"Junior brothers, are you leaving already?" Qi Cai asked.

“Senior sister, we still have a lot of things to take care of outside, but would you like to go to the mainland?” Ning Xingchen asked.

Seven Colors shook its head and said, "My master and I have been to the human world before, but it is not suitable for us, and Medicine God Valley also needs us to protect it."

“Alright then, if you need anything, you can come to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to find me,” Ning Xingchen said.

"Okay!" Qicai nodded.

Sword Douluo, Ning Dingling, A Yin, and Liu Erlong all bowed to Qicai and were the first to walk out of the Medicine God Valley's formation.

Before leaving, Ning Xingchen glanced at the two soul beasts beside Qicai and said, "Little Mist, Little Star, see you again in a while."

"Goodbye!" Little Mist still managed to reply from within the fog.

Little Star said, "Hmph, it's best if they don't appear!"

After speaking, she turned away with a hint of arrogance. She harbored the most prejudice against Ning Xingchen, after all, Ning Xingchen had absorbed too much of her stellar power, causing her lifespan to decrease by about 30,000 years.

After Ning Xingchen left, Qicai said, "Little Xingxing, shouldn't you thank him?"

"He did help me, but I just don't like him," Little Star pouted.

“I think you can follow him from now on. He can devour your star power. Although it has caused your cultivation years to regress, it seems to have also allowed you to escape the upcoming heavenly tribulation,” Seven Colors said.

After a soul beast has cultivated for 100,000 years, it will undergo a heavenly tribulation every thousand years.

After Ning Xingchen absorbed her star power, the impending heavenly tribulation disappeared.

"Hmph, at worst I'll just transform into human form like my older sister!" Little Star said.

……

After Ning Xingchen and the others left the Medicine God Valley's grand formation, Ning Xingchen and Sword Douluo released their martial souls and then carried the three women into the sky.

They first flew out of the Cloud Mist Mountains, then bought a carriage and headed towards Tiandou City.

……

One month later, at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

“Uncle Bone, if you take this pill, you’ll have a chance to catch up with Uncle Sword,” Ning Xingchen said.

On the very night he returned to the sect, Ning Xingchen delivered the Earth Dragon Golden Claw Pill to Bone Douluo.

"Really? That's great! Since Chen Xin came back, his soul power has reached the peak of level 96 and he's been showing off in front of me. I must catch up with him," said Bone Douluo.

"Star, thank you."

He took the pill from Ning Xingchen and swallowed it in one gulp.

The Earth Dragon Golden Claw is probably the most suitable immortal item for Bone Douluo at present.

After taking the medicine, Ning Xingchen no longer needed to protect him, as his safety within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was guaranteed.

While Bone Douluo was improving, Ning Xingchen returned to his own courtyard.

Ning Dingling had not yet returned and was probably still handing over sect affairs with Ning Fengzhi, so Ning Xingchen absorbed the power of the stars as usual after returning to her room.

Ning Xingchen's Starry Sky Sword Body has now reached the final stage of thirteen. The reason he achieved this so quickly is thanks to the contribution of the Star River Heavenly Net Vine from Medicine God Valley.

The night passed quietly, and when Ning Xingchen opened the door, Ning Dingling was already up.

“Xingchen, Ning Fan, and Xu Ning have arrived,” Ning Dingling said.

"Have they arrived?"

“They’re waiting in the courtyard,” Ning Dingling said.

“Okay, sis, I’ll go check right away,” Ning Xingchen said.

Watching Ning Xingchen leave, he thought to himself, "Is the sect going to have two more Title Douluos?"

Ning Fan and Xu Ning are both level 89 Soul Douluo.

Ning Fan's cultivation progressed slowly due to injuries sustained in his early years, and he is still under eighty years old. Even if Ning Xingchen doesn't help him now, he will still have the opportunity to be granted a title in the future.

As for Xu Ning, he joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in his early years.

Xu Ning has decent talent and is currently 83 years old. Level 89 is almost the limit of his talent, and he can only go further if he encounters a good opportunity.

Ning Xingchen had investigated Xu Ning years ago. He had been a member of the sect for over sixty years, and his children and grandchildren were all in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He had ties to the sect and was loyal enough to it, so Ning Xingchen chose him.

Both of them possessed level 89 soul power, and only needed one more step to reach level 90 and thus advance to the title level.

"Greetings, young master," the two said simultaneously, bowing.

"Uncle Ning Fan, Uncle Xu Ning, you don't need to be so polite," Ning Xingchen said.

"Young Master, is there something you need from us? If it's a mission, we will do our best to accomplish it," Ning Fan said.

He remembered that the last time Ning Xingchen summoned him, his injuries were healed, and his soul power was further enhanced. Could it be the same this time?

Ning Fan and Xu Ning both became somewhat expectant.

Ning Xingchen said, "Your soul power has reached level 89. I brought you here today to help you reach level 90 so that you can be granted titles as soon as possible and better protect the sect."

Ning Xingchen didn't need them to fight outside; his thinking was simple: just protect the sect.

After returning from Medicine God Valley, Ning Xingchen planned to visit Sea God Island.

This time, Poseidon Island will not only bring her sister Ning Dingling and her elder brother Ning Fengzhi, but also Ah Yin and Liu Erlong, and even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

If he went there, the sect's strength would be too weak, so Ning Xingchen needed to make preparations before going, including creating two Title Douluo.

These two, along with Chen Jianjun, are enough to protect the sect.

"Upgrade to level 90?"

Ning Fan was prepared, but Xu Ning looked puzzled. How could one upgrade from level 89 to level 90 so easily?

He had raised his soul power to level 89 for many years, but the gap between level 89 and level 90 seemed insurmountable.

Ning Xingchen said, "The reason I asked you to advance to level 90 first is that your soul power has reached that level, and also because Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu will be leaving the sect with me for a few years in the future, so we will have to rely on you to protect the sect in the next few years."

"Young Master, don't worry, as long as we're here, the sect will stand." The two said at the same time.

"Good, very good." Ning Xingchen was quite satisfied, then said with a serious expression, "Next is a pill I obtained from a mysterious place. After taking it, it should help you improve your soul power, and there are no side effects. You must not tell anyone after taking it, otherwise the sect may face the crisis of annihilation!"

Ning Fan and Xu Ning nodded at the same time. Hearing Ning Xingchen say this, they naturally kept it a secret.

"You two can go to the backyard to take the pills and improve your soul power here."

Ning Xingchen led the two to the resting area in the backyard, which was built together with the Soul Arena where the competition was held.

The two Grade 9 Purple Ganoderma Pills were made from one Grade 9 Purple Ganoderma, two 10,000-year-old medicinal herbs, and four 1,000-year-old medicinal herbs.

Two pills were made, each with a medicinal effect superior to that of eating a whole Grade 9 Purple Ganoderma lucidum raw. Their medicinal power was almost comparable to that of pills made from two portions of celestial-grade medicinal power.

Therefore, Ning Xingchen believed that this pill should be enough for them to break through from level 89 to level 90.

The two took the medicine on the spot and then began their cultivation.

That evening, after taking the elixir the previous day, Bone Douluo finally broke through and his soul power increased to level ninety-six.

Although he had only just reached level 96 and was not as high as Sword Douluo's peak level 96, he had managed to break through and the two were now at the same level.

It's worth noting that in the original story, Bone Douluo never managed to surpass level 96 until his death, but now he has achieved that.

Not only did his soul power increase, but his martial soul also evolved.

The martial soul was released and possessed, turning the originally gray bone dragon into gold. The Earth Dragon Golden Claw actually allowed Bone Douluo to evolve into a golden bone dragon, completing a qualitative leap.

Chapter 91 Heading to Seagod Island, Bibi Dong's Prison Break

The Grade Nine Purple Ganoderma Pill was very effective; Ning Fan and Xu Ning successfully broke through to the next level that very night, advancing from level eighty-nine to level ninety.

Ning Fan had complete faith in Ning Xingchen's pills, while Xu Ning was just trying it out. After successfully improving, he immediately swore to Ning Xingchen that he would do his best to protect the sect in the future.

The two reached level 90, and the next day, Bone Douluo took them to Sunset Forest to search for their ninth spirit ring.
