He was so unaware of the passage of time during his practice that when Xu Tianxi opened his eyes again, he felt as if he had just had a good sleep and was a little sleepy.
But he knew it wouldn't be that short.
Bowing to Electrolux not far away, Xu Tianxi asked, "Teacher, how long have I been in deep meditation this time?"
He was not being modest. In his daily practice, he was accustomed to applying the dialectics of his previous life to the cultivation of his soul power, meditating and thinking about difficult problems step by step.
The result is that one often falls into deep meditation without noticing and loses control of time.
"No need to think too much, it's only a month."
Electrolux smiled faintly and said, "Deep meditation for you humans is a good thing. If you work hard in the future, you will make more progress. There is no need to worry about time."
"Thank you for your guidance, teacher."
Xu Tianxi said this respectfully, thinking to himself, "Time flies by so fast. There are less than two and a half years left before the next competition. I don't have much time left. I have to set off for Earth Dragon Gate quickly."
"The cold temperature deep inside the Earth Dragon Gate was so cold that even Huo Yuhao, who was at the seventh ring in the original novel, had to retreat and couldn't go deep. I don't know if I can make it deep now. Let's notify Master Uncle."
After making up his mind, Xu Tianxi said goodbye to Electrolux, glanced at Tang San's consciousness in the distance, who looked like he had lost all hope in life, and left with brisk steps.
The scene before my eyes changed and returned to the basement of heaven.
What he heard was the sound of blacksmithing, shouting, and metal colliding. Xu Tianxi walked into the large-scale blacksmith workshop and looked around. He saw that the skilled craftsmen and soul guides who were good at blacksmithing that he had recruited in advance were each holding a pair of wood-handling detection mirrors and hammering metal enthusiastically.
The Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique had been passed down long ago, and these people's physical fitness was that of the elite among soul masters.
The leader was an eighth-level soul master, Long Chen, whom Ye Yulin had introduced to him. Like Xuan Ziwen, Long Chen's ancestors came from the Tianhun Empire. He was a burly man with a powerful aura.
It is said that this man was born into a family of blacksmiths. His ancestors for generations believed that blacksmithing had no future and would sooner or later be eliminated by soul guides. So he made a decision that went against his ancestors and brought his family to the Sun-Moon Empire.
By the time it came to Long Chen's generation, he had already become an eighth-level soul mentor and senior researcher who ranked among the top in Mingde Hall. He was good at metal smelting, shaping, surface treatment, and processing technology. He had the style of later materials scientists and was a rare talent.
Gu Zhaoqiu has her own independent studio. When Xu Tianxi went in to see her, he saw that the dragon power in her body was surging, and it was as if there were two golden dragons roaring on her arms, with great momentum, swallowing up metal.
Xu Tianxi looked intently and saw that the metal silver in Gu Zhaoqiu's hand was emitting dazzling silver light. Ninety-six percent of the metal impurities had been removed, making it a top-level thousand-forged work.
According to later generations' evaluation, it was probably a thousand-forged first-grade? After this level of metal was made into battle armor, it could be directly forged and upgraded into higher-grade metal, making new battle armor, saving time and effort.
After waiting for Gu Zhaoqiu to finish forging, Xu Tianxi clapped his hands and walked forward with a smile:
"Congratulations! The Star Dou Little Overlord's forging skills are truly extraordinary, and his talent is truly extraordinary. It seems that it won't be long before all the materials for the new humanoid soul guide are found."
To facilitate forging, Gu Zhaoqiu's bright golden hair was tied into a ponytail and hung down behind her head, looking dashing and neat. She turned her head and smiled, her red eyes gleaming with surprise, and she said with a raised mouth:
"Of course, sister, I said I wanted to be the most powerful blacksmith. Once this batch of metal is forged, I will definitely surprise you all!"
"Pa pa pa"
Xu Tianxi applauded repeatedly, giving it enough emotional value.
With Gu Zhaoqiu around, he didn't have to worry about the forging problem for the time being. He could leave the rest of the things to her to explore, and he would just give her direction occasionally at critical moments.
After all, I have too many things to do. It's okay to occasionally rely on future experience to be a pioneer in the industry, but I can't devote all my time and energy to this.
Gu Zhaoqiu glanced at Xu Tianxi and suddenly asked, "Are you going out now?"
Xu Tianxi looked slightly surprised and asked with a smile, "How did you tell that?"
Gu Zhaoqiu hummed softly and said, "Don't forget that our memories have already intertwined. Whenever you want to go out and cause trouble, the corners of your mouth always curl up, looking naughty and likable."
Xu Tianxi was stunned when he heard this, but he ignored it. Fortunately, he had sealed his memories of his past life long ago, so the other party would not see them all.
"Then...would you like to go out with me? There's no danger this time. The guardian of our destination is only a Soul Douluo with an Eight-ring Soul Douluo in command. The strongest person nearby is only a Nine-ring Titled Douluo."
Before leaving, Xu Tianxi had already figured out the intelligence about the two major forces in Dragon City, Earth Dragon Sect and Heaven Dragon Sect.
The Earth Dragon Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and the martial spirits of the sect's disciples are almost all earth dragons. The sect leader, Nan Shuishui, is a widow, and her martial spirit is Rouge Dragon. Her soul power is around level 85, and she possesses an extremely rare annihilation attribute.
Because of her special spirit ability, it is not easy for ordinary Titled Douluo to defeat her, but she poses no threat to Xu Tianxi.
Why would you need an earth dragon to cultivate the dragon clan? If you want to cultivate, you should cultivate a real dragon. The bloodline of the Mountain Dragon King can suppress everything, and the Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon is the leader of the earth dragons.
Heaven Dragon Sect has a long history, and it is suspected that it has been passed down for ten thousand years. The ancestors were probably the descendants of Yu Tianxin from the Blue Lightning Gemini after the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family was wiped out ten thousand years ago. The current Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan is the descendant of Yu Tianheng and Yu Xiaogang. These two uncles and nephews have the best relationship, and their descendants are also together.
The current strength of the Tianlong Sect has increased compared to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family ten thousand years ago. In addition to the current sect leader who is a Titled Douluo, there are two older elders who are also Titled Douluo, a total of three Titled Douluos.
In this era, such strength can only be said to be a relatively strong first-class sect. It is enough to dominate a region, but it cannot be ranked among the top in the entire continent.
Of course, this time Xu Tianxi only wanted to take the Wanzai Xuanbing Sui and Bingji Shenjing, and did not want to do anything to the two families, but it was not the right time to take action.
He is not Xu Tianran, who would arrest all these people without killing them, and end up making a bunch of enemies for himself. This kind of thing should either be done at all or done thoroughly. There is no reason to do it halfway.
Gu Zhaoqiu unexpectedly rejected Xu Tianxi's invitation. She smiled and said:
"I really enjoy the thrill of forging. I won't accompany you this time. You can go on your own."
"Oh, that's really rare. After I get out, I think I'll have to inform Mr. Xiong and ask him to come in and practice as well."
Xu Tianxi was surprised, but he didn't insist. With a thought, ripples appeared in the space, and the body wrapped around him disappeared out of thin air.
After notifying Xiong Jun, Xu Tianxi did not look for other companions. He reported to Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen and set off alone towards the Tianhun Empire.
A streak of light passed through the void, its track almost invisible due to the cover of space. Xu Tianxi naturally displayed a very deep state of unity between man and nature. He walked in the air as if strolling in the garden, leaving no trace, and each step covered a thousand meters.
About half a day later, the city of Hanhai City was in sight. Xu Tianxi hid his body and rushed to the Xuanming Sect's headquarters, intending to come back to visit Xu Xiaoyun first, and then look for Xiao Changfeng.
However, before he entered the sect, his powerful mental power allowed him to sense some special aura in the Xuanming Sect, and it was an acquaintance.
"Why are Du Bu Si, Prince Xueyu, and Vina all here? Do they want to invite the Xuanming Sect to come out? And... why is there the presence of a Super Douluo from the Haotian Sect?"
Xu Tianxi frowned slightly, realizing that things were not simple. He used the Mirror Flower and Water Moon soul skill to hide his figure and quietly rushed to the back mountain.
He had personally killed many Titled Douluo of the Haotian Sect, and was very familiar with their auras, without making any mistakes.
The first five elders of Haotian Sect were all super Douluo, and four of them died in the sea. The first and second elders were killed by him, and the third and fifth elders were killed by Di Tian. Only the fourth elder survived. If there is no problem, it must be this person.
A moment later, Xu Xiaoyun's deep and powerful voice reached Xu Tianxi's ears.
"Everyone, this is a bit difficult for us, isn't it? You said that there will be a major disaster on Douluo Continent soon. Do you have any evidence?"
