Douluo: Starting from the Nine-Curved Vine Dragon

Chapter 166 Looking for the Heart of Poseidon
Douluo Continent, western region.

The war between the Poseidon Empire and the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom is in full swing.

In the major rivers that flow into the ocean within the empire, dozens of sea soul beast tribes migrate from the ocean to these rivers, forming a natural defense barrier for the Sea God Empire.

If the Tiandou Empire wants to take back the Western Province, it must kill all the sea soul beasts swimming in the major rivers or drive them back to the ocean, but the Tiandou Empire obviously cannot do this.

Therefore, without any worries, the Poseidon Empire mobilized all its forces to attack the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom, sweeping the battlefield with devastating force.

The absolute gap in strength allowed the Poseidon Empire to successfully occupy the entire Haagen-Dazs Kingdom in less than a month.

When the territory of the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom was incorporated into the territory of the Poseidon Empire, the Star Luo Empire began to become uneasy.

Previously, there was a kingdom between the Xingluo Empire and the Poseidon Empire as a buffer zone between the two empires. When faced with the Poseidon Empire's invasion of the Tiandou Empire, the Xingluo Empire could still watch from the other side of the river.
But now the buffer zone is gone, the two empires are adjacent to each other, and war may break out at any time.

……

Poseidon Empire, Poseidon City (Hanhai City).

Inside the palace hall.

Seagod Corps President Sea Dragon Douluo half-knelt on the palace floor and replied in a pious and fanatical tone:

"Master Priest, under the guidance of Master Poseidon's supreme glory, our Poseidon Corps has successfully expanded the territory of the empire."

"I wonder which area of ​​the continent we will allow to join the supreme glory of Lord Poseidon next."

On the throne, Poseidon was looking down at the continent map in her hand. After listening to Sea Dragon Douluo's words, she said without raising her head:
"We will discuss the expansion of the empire later. The current empire is enough for us to handle for several years."

Poseidon said this after careful consideration.

The three major forces in Douluo Continent are the Tiandou Empire, the Xingluo Empire, and the Spirit Hall.

The Tiandou Empire had an entire province occupied by them, and had lost a full 400,000 troops. Continuing to seize the territory of the Tiandou Empire would only lead to a fight to the death between Tiandou and them, with both sides suffering losses.

It is not advisable to continue attacking Tiandou.

In addition, the only countries on the continent bordering the Sea God Empire are the Barak Kingdom and the Xing Luo Empire.

It is not a problem for the Poseidon Empire to attack the Barak Kingdom, but the territory of the Barak Kingdom borders the Spirit Hall's base camp, the Spirit City.

If the Barak Kingdom is occupied, the territory of the Seagod Empire will directly face the headquarters of the Spirit Hall, which is tantamount to challenging the bottom line of the Spirit Hall.

Attacking the Kingdom of Barak is not advisable.

As for attacking the Xingluo Empire, of the three major forces on the continent, the Seagod Empire has already offended the Tiandou Empire and the Spirit Hall.

If they offended the Xingluo Empire, the three major forces would unite as a front and jointly encircle and suppress the Sea God Empire, making their plans on the mainland difficult to carry out.

"Hailong, your mind is completely focused on conquering the continent."

"Don't forget that Lord Poseidon's orders include more than just conquering the continent."

Poseidon stood up from the throne with the scepter in hand, glanced at everyone in the hall, and finally set his eyes on Sea Dragon Douluo who was half-kneeling on the ground.

"The oracle of Lord Poseidon is for us to find a genius who can become Lord Poseidon's successor and help him conquer the continent."

"Today, the Sea God Empire has established a firm foothold on the continent, but the throne of the empire remains vacant."

"A country cannot be without a master for a day. I am only the acting ruler of the empire. Only the successor of Lord Poseidon is the true master of the empire."

"Right now, our most important task is not to continue expanding the empire's territory, but to find the successor of Lord Poseidon."

"This matter is extremely important, and I should have searched for it myself." Having said this, Poseidon paused and slowly walked down the stairs.

"But I need to stay in Poseidon City, so the task of finding the successor of Lord Poseidon will be left to you."

"Remember, the martial spirit of the inheritor of Lord Sea God does not have to be related to the ocean, as long as he has outstanding talent."

In the hall, the remaining six Seagod Seven Sacred Pillar Guard Douluo and the Sea Dragon Douluo who was kneeling on the ground answered in unison:
"I'll wait to understand."

"Well, step back." Poseidon raised his head and nodded.

"I need to go into seclusion next. Unless I find the successor of Lord Poseidon, don't disturb me for other matters."

"Yes." Everyone saluted in unison and left the hall in an orderly manner.

After a while, there was no one around.

Poseidon walked out of the hall and looked towards the inland of the continent, his blue eyes narrowed slightly.

“It’s time to get that one thing done.”

The seclusion she mentioned just now was just an excuse. She still needed to find the Heart of Poseidon, so how could she stay in Poseidon City forever?

Poseidon had his reasons for not telling the Seven Sacred Pillars Guardian Douluo about this matter.

The Heart of Poseidon, the core of inheritance, is not on Poseidon Island, but lost on the mainland.

It would have a bad impact if this kind of thing were made public, as it would damage the prestige of Lord Poseidon in their hearts.

"Lord Poseidon didn't tell me where the Heart of Poseidon is, so I can only look for it one place at a time on the continent."

Poseidon thought, and the figure of the man in her mind appeared before her.

"Tang Chen, where will you be?"

"I'm going to search all over the continent this time, and I can just track down your whereabouts along the way."

"If you and I can meet this time, I will never let you leave my side again."

After making up her mind, Poseidon took out a booklet, which was filled with records of the long-standing sects and families on the continent that she had asked people to collect.

The Heart of the Sea God is a divine object with endless magical uses.

Even if it has not been recognized by the Lord Sea God in His Heart, it can still exert remarkable effects. It can be used as long as a soul master injects soul power into it.

This kind of divine object has been lost for thousands of years. If it was really lost on this continent, it must have been collected by a sect or family with a long history on the continent.

The list of sects and families in Poseidon's hand was collected by Sea Witch Douluo in the library of Spirit Hall.

It includes most of the famous sects and families on the continent:

The seven famous sects in the world, the royal families and nobles of the two empires, the royal families and nobles of the major kingdoms and duchies, a few hidden sects and families, and several major families within the Spirit Hall.

Poseidon's eyes scanned the booklet back and forth, wondering which treasure house to start looking in.

"Tian Dou and Wuhun Hall will be more alert in the near future, so it will not be convenient to take action."

"In that case, let's start by looking for the sects and families in the Xingluo Empire."
