Douluo: Starting from the engagement with Zhu Zhuqing.

In the western part of the continent, Hanhai City.

Merchant ships are everywhere and come in an endless stream. Compared with three years ago, there are fewer soul masters in Hanhai City. The most eye-catching glazed tower in the city center is only guarded by a small number of disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. Most of the soul masters have returned to the former Tiandou Imperial Capital.

However, the Qinglian Sect, which existed alongside the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, still remained here.

"My Lady Madam."

In front of the clan master's residence, two burly guards from the Defense Department (the Yu clan) bowed their heads and spoke respectfully when they saw the graceful black figure approaching.

The graceful figure in black was Zhu Zhuqing who had just finished her training.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly, and two guards opened the door. When she was about to walk in, she found a figure sitting on the sect leader's seat.

Zhu Zhuqing's body trembled, the indifference in her beautiful eyes melted instantly, and a beautiful curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.

The beauty, like a snow lotus blooming on an iceberg, made the two guards stare in amazement.

Following Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, the two guards saw the figure on the sect master's seat. When one of them was about to scold him, the other's expression changed drastically. He quickly stopped the former, knelt on one knee and said:
"I've met the sect leader!"

Dai Yao slowly raised his hand, helped the two up, and said "Go away", and the two stood up and closed the door.

After the two of them left, Dai Yao flashed to Zhu Zhuqing's side, staring at this very familiar face. Dai Yao gently smoothed the messy hair beside her ears, took her into his arms, and said softly:
"Thank you for your hard work over the past three years."

Zhu Zhuqing quietly leaned in Dai Yao's arms, hugged him with her backhand, listened to his heartbeat, hummed softly, and murmured:
"You still know how to come back!"

During these three years, Zhu Zhuqing practiced and approached the bottleneck of level 97, while also presiding over the affairs of the Qinglian Sect. The workload was quite heavy.

More importantly, she needed to reconcile the relationship between Dugu Yan, Bai Chenxiang and the others, so that they would not become resentful because of Dai Yao's long absence.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing keenly noticed Dai Yao's change, and suddenly broke away from Dai Yao's arms, looked him up and down for a moment, and looked at him in shock:
"Brother Yao, your cultivation..."

During these three years, Zhu Zhuqing has also been carrying out the inheritance of the divine throne and has become particularly sensitive to the aura of the gods.

As soon as she came into contact with Dai Yao, she immediately realized that something was wrong. The terrifying sacred aura had disappeared.

Dai Yao signaled her to be patient and explained:
"Not long ago, I went to Poseidon Island. Because Bo Saixi was about to die, I passed the throne of Poseidon to her."

"You know, the path I'm on is destined to make me an enemy of the gods. I'd better spread the word about the Sea God's position as soon as possible, so as not to be constrained by the position of God."

Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes and pushed Dai Yao away:
"I still don't know what you're thinking. What kind of constraints are you facing? I think you're probably going to rekindle your relationship with Senior Bo Saixi!"

"Really? There are so many people at home, and you are still messing around outside. Can your kidneys bear it? And Senior Bo Saixi is so old, how do you expect us to get along with her?"

Dai Yao smiled awkwardly:
"That time with Bo Saixi was really an accident! You know my personality. We had sex and Bo Saixi is about to die. I can't just watch her die."

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Dai Yao for a long time and sighed helplessly:
"My life is really ruined by you. You have passed my test, but you have to pass Sister Yan and Rongrong's test by yourself."

Dai Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he had passed Zhu Zhuqing's test, the rest would not be that difficult.

Dugu Yan has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, so she can be coaxed; Rongrong may appear weak but is extremely firm at heart, so it will take some effort.

However, he had so many female confidantes around him, and they could tolerate each other and maintain a superficial harmony. The most important thing was that they loved him deeply. He had been unfaithful again and again, and even though they didn't say anything, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Therefore, he must not let them down again.

It's time for me to calm down.

Dai Yao warned himself and then asked:
"By the way, where are Zhuqing, Yanyan, and Rongrong? Haven't they come back yet?"

Zhu Zhuqing rolled her eyes, looked at the documents on the long table, pushed Dai Yao, and signaled him to leave the position of the clan leader. After Dai Yao left honestly, she sat down, opened the documents that had been piled up since morning, and reviewed them skillfully one by one, saying with some annoyance:
"You still know Rongrong and the others? They left for three years at a time and never came back. You are the leader of the Qinglian Sect, but you have never handled the sect's political affairs. You have always been a hands-off boss."

"First it was Sister Yan, then it was me. I really don't know how you became the leader."

Seeing Dai Yao's embarrassed smile, Zhu Zhuqing shook her head helplessly:
"Rongrong and Sister Yan have all returned to the old capital of Tiandou."

"In three years, the old capital of Tiandou has completely changed. The nobles who were once high and mighty have been crushed into dust just to survive. The spirit masters who once depended on the Spirit Hall have now risen to power and are high and mighty, shouting and killing the spirit masters who disobey them."

“Although the two major sects have enough power in the old capital of Tiandou, we still have to be wary of those crazy spirit masters.”

Dai Yao was silent.

Now that the mainland is unified, there are too many chaos.

The factional fighting in the old capital of Tiandou was just a small problem. It was hard to imagine how many troubles there were after the fall of the two empires of Tiandou and Xingluo, which gathered in Wuhun City and in front of Hu Liena's desk.

With her current abilities, can she handle it?

"Ah, Yanyan and Rongrong have worked so hard."

Dai Yao said with some guilt.

"If you really feel you owe them something, then go and see them more often. They miss you very much."

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head and said solemnly.

Dai Yao nodded, slowly walked to the window, and looked at the waves crashing on the beach with a silent expression.

After returning, he will naturally go to see his wives, but right now, there are more important things.

Hanhai City is still too small and cannot radiate inland.

Since we want to promote the development of soul guides, we must establish a strong force in the core of the continent. Undoubtedly, there are three core places in the continent, namely Wuhun City, Tiandou City, and Xingluo City.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is quite powerful, having taken root in the old capital of Tiandou for many years. With the assistance of the Qinglian Sect, I didn't expect that I would feel threatened this time when I returned.

Then the construction of Wuhun City and Xingluo City will be even more troublesome.

"Sure enough, the promotion of soul guides still depends on the power of the Wuhun Empire."

"But with the personalities of Lou Gao and others, it is absolutely impossible for them to join the Wuhun Empire. Therefore, the Qinglian Sect exists for these people. As long as they are beneficial to the soul guides and the future path of cultivation, we can keep them."

Dai Yao thought silently.

Immediately, Dai Yao turned around and continued to ask:
"By the way, Zhuqing. How is Wutong doing lately? Is the work of the Law Enforcement Department going smoothly?"

The Law Enforcement Department, as the name suggests, is in charge of the sect's criminal penalties.

It is the latest department established in addition to the four departments of Construction (Yu Clan), Information (Min Clan), Medical (Po Clan), Science and Technology (Blacksmith Association) and Qinglian.

Three years ago, after Dai Yao returned, he established this new department with Feng Wutong as the director, Kong Que and three former servants of the Spirit Hall as assistants, disciples from the four divisions as the backbone, and elite spirit masters who joined later as well, in the spirit of an orthodox sect.

To be honest, the law enforcement department has enormous power, combining the powers of legislation, trial, criminal investigation, execution, etc. If it is in the hands of one person, it will be a way to bring disaster.

But given Feng Wutong's personality, Dai Yao dared to let her take charge.

However, although this position has great authority, it is also an offensive job. It is difficult to gain a good reputation among many disciples.

"The work of the Law Enforcement Department is going smoothly. You have become a deity, and Sister Wutong is also a Super Douluo at level 97. The disciples of the four departments dare not object at all."

"Sister Wutong enforces the law impartially. She enforces the law regardless of status or spirit power, and punishes lawbreakers in the sect. Although she is known as the 'Iron-faced Phoenix', she is very popular among the sect's disciples."

Zhu Zhuqing explained with a smile.

Dai Yao breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that giving Feng Wutong an offensive job would cause trouble for her, but now it seemed like a piece of cake.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Feng Wutong walked in, staring at Dai Yao with her beautiful eyes, which were full of mist. On both sides of the door, Du Juan and Lu Yu were looking inside the door. "Sister Wutong, you only have Brother Yao in your heart, right? You didn't pay any attention to me at all!"

Zhu Zhuqing said with a smile.

Hearing this, Feng Wutong came back to her senses, her pretty face flushed, and she quickly greeted Zhu Zhuqing. She pretended to look at Zhu Zhuqing with her beautiful eyes, but still looked at Dai Yao uncontrollably.

Seeing Feng Wutong's expression, it was obvious that she missed him very much. She signaled Dujuan Lu to close the door. After the two girls closed the door, Zhu Zhuqing laughed and said:

"Sister Wutong, there's no one else around, why don't you take action?"

Feng Wutong was stunned for a moment, and just when she was about to take action, a broad shoulder had already embraced her.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Wutong."

Dai Yao looked at the beauty in his arms, and thought of how she had practiced and managed the sect for the past three years. He felt both distressed and grateful.

Feng Wutong hugged Dai Yao tightly, as if she wanted to melt in his arms. If the disciples of the sect saw this, they would be shocked to see the "Iron-faced Phoenix" in their hearts showing such a gentle scene.

Looking at Feng Wutong's disgusting look, Zhu Zhuqing shuddered all over, and inexplicably thought that maybe she was the same just now?

After the two of them were affectionate for a while, Zhu Zhuqing finally asked the most concerning question:
"By the way, Brother Yao, have you created the new cultivation system?"

After he finished speaking, Feng Wutong looked at Dai Yao with concern.

She had long heard that Dai Yao wanted to create a path of cultivation that did not rely on soul beasts. For a civilian soul master, this would undoubtedly greatly reduce the pressure of cultivation. She was also a civilian soul master, so she was very concerned about this matter.

Dai Yao paused, glanced at everyone's faces, and said solemnly:
"There's still one last step left!"

"This time when I came back, I just needed a completely safe place to complete this last step."

······
In the secret room.

A light blue barrier enveloped the entire secret room, blocking all movement.

Several red soul rings were suspended, guarding a golden soul ring, but among these many soul rings, the most eye-catching one was the white one.

The white soul ring represents ten years of cultivation.

Among the numerous hundred thousand year and even god-level spirit rings, this ten-year spirit ring seemed so unique.

However, this ten-year spirit ring still has a small flaw.

"For three years, I have been stuck at this last step and have made no progress. I thought it was a flaw in the system I created, but in the end I realized that it was just a limitation."

"A limitation that humans cannot create spirit rings."

Staring at the gap, Dai Yao said quietly.

As his soul power surged, the shadow of a green lotus slowly emerged behind Dai Yao. The unfillable gap began to change, as if it had encountered great resistance, and began to shrink at an extremely slow speed.

Choking——

A teeth-grinding squeezing sound rang out in the void.

A golden afterimage suddenly flashed around the white soul ring, like a full moon covered by clouds, mysterious and majestic.

"open!"

Dai Yao roared and slowly exerted his strength. The green lotus shadow behind him slowly blossomed, and the speed at which the gap shrank suddenly increased.

At the same time, the squeezing sound became increasingly frequent, and the golden afterimage reappeared, like 'the clouds broke and the moon came out'. The full picture of the afterimage was finally revealed, and it turned out to be a golden ring, which was also a seal.

"This seal is indeed strong. Any other God King would never be able to open it."

Dai Yao's eyes narrowed, knowing that he needed to make a concerted effort to break the seal, so he did not hesitate any longer, and the real Primal Chaos Green Lotus suddenly appeared.

As soon as the Chaos Green Lotus appeared, the indestructible golden ring quickly disintegrated and melted like ice and snow encountering boiling water.

The golden ring kept shaking, and the next moment, accompanied by a crisp sound, the golden ring suddenly shattered, as if a silver mirror had fallen to the ground and shattered into countless pieces.

The gap also completely disappeared at this time, and the white soul ring closed.

"This rubbing method finally succeeded."

Dai Yao sighed faintly.

After more than three years, I finally achieved something, which was not easy. Although it was just a simple ten-year spirit ring, it represented the success of the rubbing method.

With a good beginning, the rest of the journey will be easier.

"Use soul power as a pen and soul as a guide to outline the soul power trajectory when the soul skill is running, so as to form a soul ring."

“Although this path is much more difficult, not only does it lose the convenience of hunting soul beasts, but it also requires learning the unique operating trajectory of each soul ring, which takes a lot of effort, but the advantages of this method are enough to outweigh its disadvantages.”

"Firstly, the spirit rings that I draw myself are more skillful to use than the spirit rings that I hunt. In addition, the process of drawing will greatly train the use of spirit power, which is itself a way to increase spirit power."

"Secondly, when the spirit rings that can be copied become more abundant, the choices of spirit masters will also increase, and they will be able to find spirit rings that suit them. Even a hundred thousand year spirit ring will no longer be a luxury."

“No longer do we have to go into the dangerous soul beast forest and risk our lives to look for soul beasts, and we may not even find the right soul beast.”

"Of course, given the complexity of a hundred thousand year spirit ring, the huge amount of spirit power required is definitely not something that an ordinary spirit master can bear. Only a person with great talent can succeed."

"And the most important point is that this method can reset spirit rings with lower ages after the spirit master's cultivation level increases."

However, although the soul ring imprinting method is not as domineering as absorbing the soul ring of a hunted soul beast, which cannot be changed, the soul ring imprinting method also engraves the soul power into the body. If the low-level soul rings are dissolved too many times, it will also cause the body to collapse.

According to Dai Yao, those with lower physical fitness can have a chance to reset.

Those with better physical fitness have two to three chances.

Even if there is only one chance to reset, it is enough to drive all soul masters crazy!
You know, not every soul master on the continent can find a satisfactory soul ring. If there is a treasure that can reset the soul ring, it will be enough to make them fight for it even if they spend all their money.

Not to mention those soul masters who absorbed soul rings of too low age when they were young.

Staring at this white 'Phoenix Baboon' spirit ring, Dai Yao seemed to see the future rubbing method and the prosperity of the popular continent.

"The method of rubbing, as long as there is a rubbing of the soul ring, every soul master has the possibility of practicing."

"In today's continent, even a genius spirit master like Tang San has encountered dangers several times when he wanted to hunt spirit beasts. It is even more difficult for ordinary civilian spirit masters. For many civilian spirit masters, although the rubbing method cannot completely change the unfair status quo, it at least provides a glimmer of hope."

Dai Yao retracted his soul ring and his eyes gradually became solemn.

Creating the method of rubbing is a small step, and the real difficulty has just begun.

At the moment when the golden ring was broken, two majestic eyes of the God Realm suddenly opened!

"who is it?!"

The angry voice exploded like thunder. (End of this chapter)
