Tang Chen's return to the Douluo Continent was like a nuclear explosion, shaking the entire continent.
The Spirit Empire, which had been arrogant all along, seemed to have significantly scaled back its actions since hearing of Tang Chen's return to the Soul Master world, no longer being as aggressive as before.
Immediately after, the Great Enshrinement of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu, who had been missing for countless years, also returned to the Soul Master world.
These two ninety-ninth level Limit Douluo were originally known as the Two Peaks in the Soul Master world, insurmountable heights. Now that both had returned to the Soul Master world simultaneously, the entire Soul Master world was instantly in turmoil, and even the Spirit Hall no longer had its former rallying power.
Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen met, and seemed to have reached some kind of new agreement. Since then, the Soul Master world had fallen into a strange calm.
After overcoming various difficulties and obstacles, Tang San finally completed the Sea God's Seven Trials. Using the excuse of returning to the continent to add Soul Rings to his Clear Sky Hammer, and with Bo Saixi's permission, combined with his inherent Sea God Island Red Level Authority, he returned to the Douluo Continent.
When Tang San returned to Vast Sea City, the first person he encountered was Titan.
Since Tang Chen's return, Tang Hao had arranged for Titan to wait for Tang San and the others in Vast Sea City. This was related to Tang San's subsequent cultivation, and Tang Chen's time would be very tight.
As expected, after Tang San heard about Tang Chen's return and the current situation on the continent, he immediately followed Titan back to the Clear Sky Sect.
Xiao Wu also returned to the Clear Sky Sect with Tang San. Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, and Ma Hongjun planned to return to Heaven Dou City, while Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing planned to return to the Star Luo imperial family. After all, a major war was about to break out between the three empires, and as a prince of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Mubai also needed to serve his country at this time.
Inside the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were filled with pleasant surprise upon seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu return.
Especially now that Tang San had reached level eighty-seven and Xiao Wu had reached level eighty-five, both were already experts, and it was basically clear that the Clear Sky Sect had a bright future.
Even Tang Chen was very impressed with their talent upon seeing Tang San and Xiao Wu's current situation.
After some pleasantries, Tang Chen himself became unusually serious.
"Little San, although you are now level eighty-seven, you need to cultivate faster and harder from now on, otherwise both the Clear Sky Sect and this world will likely be very dangerous."
Tang San quickly said, "I will follow Great Grandfather's arrangements in everything. I will definitely work hard to become stronger."
Tang Chen said helplessly, "Although Qian Daoliu and I have reached an agreement, Qian Daoliu has clearly reached the limit of a Soul Master, while my body is ultimately somewhat lacking. We must produce top-tier experts as soon as possible."
Tang San nodded silently. Although there were various agreements in this world, everything was based on strength. If something really happened to Tang Chen or he fell, the agreement would likely be immediately voided, and at that time, the Clear Sky Sect would have to face the attacks of Qian Daoliu and the other Enshrinements.
However, Tang San was a little confused. "Great Grandfather, although the hunting on Sea God Island was relatively fast, I feel that my Blue Silver Grass seems to have also hit a bottleneck, and my cultivation speed is clearly not as fast as before. I'm afraid it will be relatively difficult for me to improve these three levels."
Tang Chen smiled and said, "Little San, other plant-type Soul Masters might have more trouble cultivating, but you are different. You have Twin Martial Souls. You can now increase your soul power by adding Soul Rings to your Clear Sky Hammer."
Tang San quickly said, "Great Grandfather, but I still haven't figured out how to resolve the conflict between Twin Martial Souls. Won't adding Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer rashly cause a rejection between the two Martial Souls?"
Tang Chen nodded. "I have cultivated to the ninety-ninth level Limit Douluo, reaching the point of perfect fusion between Martial Soul and body. I understand the connection between Soul Masters and Martial Souls even more clearly. The so-called conflict between Twin Martial Souls is simply because the Soul Master's physical quality is insufficient."
"I just observed your body. Over the years, your cultivation on Sea God Island has raised your physique to a very high level. With your current strength, absorbing a 100,000-Year Soul Ring is completely fine. If you can absorb high-level Soul Rings and Soul Bones, this will solve the problem of Twin Martial Soul conflict."
Tang San was overjoyed upon hearing this. For years, he had been troubled by the conflict between Twin Martial Souls. Now, with Tang Chen's confirmation, if he could add Soul Rings to his Clear Sky Hammer in advance, he would definitely be able to quickly advance to the high-level Titled Douluo realm.
However, compared to Tang San's happiness, Xiao Wu's face looked unusually grim.
Xiao Wu now understood very clearly that Tang San needed Soul Rings, and he needed many Soul Rings, requiring many top-tier Soul Beasts as Soul Rings.
But as a Soul Beast herself, Xiao Wu was a little unsure how to communicate with Tang San. Although there were quite a few 100,000-year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, the only truly famous and easy-to-find ones were the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python, but these two Soul Beasts happened to be Xiao Wu's brothers.
Tang San stroked Xiao Wu's face. "Xiao Wu, don't worry. I will never let anyone hurt you, nor will I let anyone hurt your brothers. When we go to the Star Dou Great Forest to find Soul Beasts, we will only look for those Soul Beasts that have bullied you before, or those evil Soul Beasts."
Xiao Wu seemed deeply moved. "Third Brother, I believe you. I know there are some very ferocious Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that like to kill innocent creatures indiscriminately. Such Soul Beasts deserve to die."
Tang San was overjoyed upon hearing this. "Xiao Wu, I knew you would help me. I will definitely not disappoint you. I will definitely protect you."
Soon after Tang San stayed at the Clear Sky Sect for a few days, under Tang Chen's personal guidance, the three of them left the Clear Sky Sect and prepared to head to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for Soul Rings.
In Spirit City, within the Papal Hall.
Recently, Bibi Dong had been experiencing a series of misfortunes. Although she was now the emperor of the Spirit Empire, she still resided in the Papal Hall and conducted her affairs there.
Currently, the Spirit Empire was advancing like a broken bamboo, and it could even be said to be a great deterrent to the two major empires.
However, Bibi Dong was also very clear that compared to their formidable Soul Master strength, the Spirit Empire's military strength was vastly inferior to that of the two major empires.
The two major empires had ruled for countless years, and their economies, politics, and finances were all very strong. These were not things that a newly established empire could compare to.
Especially in recent years, although the Spirit Hall appeared powerful on the surface, internally, things had been going poorly.
After the Soul Hunting Operation a few years ago, the Spirit Empire had actually suffered heavy losses. When they attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, they lost over ten thousand Soul Masters, which was close to twenty percent of their overall strength.
Furthermore, in the past few years, the Spirit Empire had continuously lost a total of five Titled Douluo, including her right-hand men, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.
Now, Bibi Dong only had four Titled Douluo under her command, and her overall strength was weaker than that of the Enshrinement Hall, making it very easy for her actions to be constrained.
What was even more troublesome was that Tang Chen of the Clear Sky Sect had recently re-emerged.
The Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect were now like fire and water. Even though Bibi Dong was powerful, she would ultimately be deterred by Tang Chen, a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo.
What made her even more disappointed was that although Qian Daoliu had returned to the Soul Master world, he had actually reached an agreement with Tang Chen, and the two Limit Douluo would not appear on the battlefield.
Bibi Dong had originally deeply resented Qian Daoliu and the Angel family.
However, her own strength had not improved much over the years, and she was still only at level ninety-eight, with some distance to go before reaching level ninety-nine.
But at Bibi Dong's repeated requests, Qian Daoliu arranged for the two Titled Douluo, Thousand Jun and Subduing Demon, to assist with the various matters of the Spirit Hall. This was the only good thing that had happened recently.
Just then, the Saintess, Hu Liena, arrived at the Papal Hall.
"Reporting to Master, the four Elders are ready. The matter from the day before yesterday has also been arranged properly, and we can depart at any time."
"The situation in the Star Dou Great Forest has also been investigated thoroughly. The whereabouts of the two 100,000-Year Soul Beasts have been confirmed."
Bibi Dong nodded: "Very good, we will depart tomorrow and head to the Star Dou Great Forest."
This time, Bibi Dong also brought six Titled Douluo, preparing to hunt the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest.
These six Titled Douluo included Thousand Jun Douluo, Subduing Demon Douluo, Kite Falcon Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Saint Dragon Douluo, and Demon Bear Douluo.
It could be said that for this operation, Bibi Dong was taking a huge risk and pushing her forces to the limit.
After Hu Liena left, Bibi Dong glanced at the Douluo Hall, a fierce look in her eyes.
"Old man, after I absorb the Soul Rings and Soul Bones of the two 100,000-Year Soul Beasts, you won't be able to control the Spirit Empire anymore."
...
After Yang Xiong left Slaughter City, he immediately headed to the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
But unexpectedly, even though Yang Xiong's strength had greatly increased, he still couldn't reach the core area at the bottom of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well. Moreover, the entire Ice Fire Yin Yang Well seemed to be extremely repulsed by Yang Xiong's Asura Demon Sword, and even his Martial Soul.
At this moment, Yang Xiong felt extremely helpless: "It seems I miscalculated a bit. It won't be that simple to obtain these two Soul Bones."
Since meeting the Asura God, Yang Xiong already knew the content of his third trial.
"Yang Xiong, Asura Nine Trials, Third Trial: Obtain twin arm soul bones. Time limit: one year. Failure results in erasure."
In fact, Yang Xiong hadn't not tried other top-tier soul bones over the years. He had tried when he obtained the 70,000-year Demon Eyed White Tiger King's right arm soul bone, but his right hand simply couldn't absorb it.
After much confirmation, Yang Xiong believed that all these changes likely originated from the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
It seemed there was a massive seal at the bottom of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, merging the bottom into a single entity. It was impossible for a mortal to enter, and even with all his methods, Yang Xiong couldn't break through it.
Yang Xiong knew that to truly enter the bottom of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, only that person could do it.
