Douluo: Star Crown Glory

Chapter 177 Overseas Fleet

After getting the answer he wanted from Xingluo Emperor Dai Feng, Xu Mingxi finally achieved his wish and left Xingluo City, heading towards Xingguan Sect.

The entire Xing Luo Empire is under the jurisdiction of the Xing Guan Sect, but they do not have enough manpower to control it, so they must rely on the power of various major forces.

The Xingguan Sect only needs to ensure its own strength to remain standing. At least for hundreds of years, they don't have to worry about being overtaken in strength.

As for hundreds of years later, if Xu Mingxi did not become a god, he would take away all the Titled Douluo who could pose a threat to the Xingguan Sect before he died.

During the previous secret meeting, Xu Mingxi and Dai Feng determined the power division of the entire Xingluo Empire in just a few words.

The entire Xingluo Empire was nominally under the rule of the Xingguan Sect. The previous taxation and tribute system remained unchanged, but the major forces maintained a high degree of autonomy.

The northern region is dominated by the Dai family of the White Tiger Duke, supplemented by the Zhu family and other forces, while the southern region belongs to the major sects and families.

Although the Xingguan Sect was not afraid of other forces, it did not want to fight with them, and in the end, the Wuhun Empire and the Sea God Island took advantage.

The entire Star Luo Empire is just a springboard for them to collect faith. The Star Crown Sect will imitate the previous model of the Spirit Hall and set up Star God Temples in major cities.

There is a statue of the Star God enshrined inside, and disciples of the Star Crown Sect will serve as the masters of the branch halls, awakening the martial spirits of the common people for free, in order to gather faith.

Xu Mingxi didn't know if this method would work, so at this stage he could only pray and hope that it would have some effect on the black crystal ball given by the Sun and Moon Gods.

Even if it is useless, we can take this opportunity to develop the power of the Xingguan Sect and use the resources of the entire empire to support the Xingguan Sect's soul masters to practice.

After Xu Mingxi returned to the sect, he immediately discussed with the various title holders and decided to hold the coronation ceremony nine days later, before the sect master and the others set out to monitor Tang San.

There are too many things that need to be prepared, including the arrangement of ceremonies, invitations to various major forces, and most importantly, the establishment of Star God Temples in various places and the selection of Temple Masters. All of these need to be decided by the various Title Masters through discussion.

Seven days later, news began to spread throughout the Xingluo Empire that Xingluo Emperor Dai Feng had abdicated the throne to Xingchen Douluo on the grounds that he had made command errors in the Tianxing City battle, causing heavy losses to the army.

When the news came out, many major forces that had already known about it did not react much, and the small and medium-sized forces that liked to wait and see did not make any moves either.

On the contrary, civilian soul masters and the lowest-level people, who have the worst ability to resist risks, began to worry whether their stable lives would undergo drastic changes or even threaten their lives.

It was not until the next day that news came out that the Xingguan Sect, where the new Tiandou Emperor Xu Mingxi was located, would set up the Star God Canon in every city to awaken the martial spirit for everyone for free.

The civilian soul masters and the people instantly quieted down, expressing their gratitude to Xu Mingxi and spontaneously offering sacrifices to the Lord Star God.

Since the war began, the Spirit Hall branches have been uprooted by local forces, and no one is awakening spirits for the civilians anymore.

In the land of Douluo Continent, martial spirits determine everything. Not allowing civilians to awaken their martial spirits means cutting off all possibilities for them to improve their current lives. How can this not make them despair?

Now that there is a new savior, the common people will of course worship the Star God Temple. Even if their sons and grandsons cannot become soul masters, it will give them hope.

There will always be a day when the martial soul will mutate. The noble soul masters kept silent, the common people were grateful, and there was no obstacle to the rise of the Xingguan Sect. Everything was being prepared in full swing.

The sect leader stood on the top of Starfall Mountain, looking at the disciples coming and going below. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw them moving the treasures from the sect's treasury out box by box.

Xu Mingxi's ascension to the throne must not be shabby, and the strength of the Xingguan Sect must be demonstrated in all aspects. Only in this way can all major forces be completely subdued and prevent them from having any dissenting thoughts.

That being said, this is the treasure of the Xingguan Sect for thousands of years. After this coronation ceremony, half of the sect’s treasury was emptied.

"Master, don't be sad. As long as our plan succeeds, these things will come back sooner or later."

Xu Mingguang comforted them, and the two of them began to prepare for the enthronement, as if everything was moving towards a bright future.

But there was a hint of worry between their brows. If the plan succeeded and Xu Mingxi became a god, of course everything would develop according to their wishes.

But if it fails, the Xingguan Sect will become the one that stands out, standing at the forefront of the Xingluo Empire and resisting the pressure from the Wuhun Empire.

This is a huge gamble for everyone in the Xingguan Sect. If they succeed, they will stand tall on the continent for ten thousand years. If they fail, they will be severely damaged and have to retreat to Xingluo Mountain and completely hide away from the world.

In the busy Xingluo Empire, no one noticed that in the waters off the Tiandou Empire, there were several huge seafaring soul guides sailing on the sea.

The leading man wearing dark purple soul guide armor stood on the bow and looked into the distance, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

On the deck of this seafaring soul guide, there were several tied-up sea soul masters with serious injuries, as if they had been through a lot of torture.

Just when the man wanted to kill them directly, two old men came out of the cabin and stopped him.

The old man in the golden robe, who was a step ahead, bowed to Xu Zilong and then carefully expressed his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, please spare their lives. The customs and habits of this Douluo Continent are completely different from ours. Perhaps we will need these people to lead the way after we reach the shore."

Xu Yang's head was almost lowered to the soles of his feet. He was really a little afraid of the Sun and Moon Emperor in front of him, afraid of this powerful and willful man.

He didn't even dare to say that the number of Titled Douluo in Douluo Continent far exceeded theirs, and they were no match at all, so it would be better for them to go home now.

Xu Zilong's face turned cold and he wanted to lose his temper, but he still held it back. There were only three titles in their team, and losing any one of them would be a huge loss.

What's more, he also knew what Xu Yang was worried about. Even he felt a little intimidated by the strength of the soul masters in Douluo Continent.

These sea soul masters were not very strong and did not know the strength of the Titled Douluo that appeared on the battlefield, but they had heard some gossip about the number.

There was a fierce battle between the three dozen or forty Titled Douluo on the two battlefields of Xingluo and Tiandou, and the intensity of the battle was incomparable to that of the Sun-Moon Empire.
