Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 267 Return
Under Zhou Sichen's earnest persuasion, which was both emotional and reasonable, the three senior figures' concerns gradually dissipated, and their tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

They exchanged a glance, their eyes still holding a hint of hesitation, but filled with anticipation for the future.

In the end, they sighed softly, acquiescing to Zhou Sichen's suggestion, and said no more, silently anticipating the arrival of the three young prodigies Zhou Sichen had mentioned soon.

Ye Guyi's cultivation progress is also very encouraging; she is not far from reaching level 80.

Judging from her current cultivation speed, it won't be long before she can give Polsalimian a huge shock with her own strength.

Imagine an 80th-level Holy Angel with a 100,000-year-old seventh spirit ring fighting against a mere 200,000-year-old Kizaru. It shouldn't be a big problem, right?

Meanwhile, Ma Xiaotao and Ling Luochen are also making rapid progress on their cultivation paths.

Their cultivation has improved extremely rapidly, and it's believed that they won't keep the two seniors, Chi Xing and Qing Zhang, waiting for too long.

After finalizing the matter, Zhou Sichen planned to leave.

He has been on Sanyuan Island for a full month, during which he has been engaged in intense training with the ferocious beasts every day.

There was also Du Bu Si providing meticulous guidance from the sidelines, and he would immediately step in to teach Zhou Si Chen if he discovered any problems with her.

Under such intense training and the guidance of Du Busi, Zhou Sichen has now basically mastered the power of the Dharma Body and Heaven.

It's time to go back now. There are still about two months before he goes to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy as an exchange student, and Zhou Sichen needs to prepare himself properly.

He knew that this exchange student trip was of great significance, not only concerning his own growth, but also potentially having a profound impact on the future situation.

After leaving Sanyuan Island with Du Busi, Zhou Sichen couldn't help but ask, "Sect Master, as we agreed before, I will return to the academy first, and you can return to the sect and bring people to the Spirit Transmission Tower."

This time, Du Bu Si nodded without hesitation.

Although the sect's strength will definitely be weakened in the short term due to the departure of the Third Elder and other pillars of the spiritual attribute from the sect to join the Spirit Transmission Tower as Spirit Transmission Masters.

But Du Bu Si has a long-term vision; from a long-term perspective, this is definitely a profitable deal.

As a newly emerging force led by Zhou Sichen, the Spirit Pagoda is developing rapidly. Establishing close ties with the Spirit Pagoda will bring many benefits to the future development of the Body Sect.

However, Vina will not go to the Spirit Pagoda at present because of her special status. She is not only an outstanding disciple of the Body Sect, but also a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

If she wants to become a spirit medium, she needs to notify the royal family first.

After all, the princess's every move is related to the face of the royal family and the interests of the country.

Zhou Sichen took this opportunity to have Vina deliver the news of the Spirit Pagoda to the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The Spirit Pagoda has been operating for more than two months. During this period, the Star Luo Royal Family has begun negotiating with the Spirit Pagoda regarding the first batch of Soul Masters.

With so much time having passed, both Tianhun and Douling should have received word of this by now.

When Vina returns to the Heavenly Soul Empire and tells the royal family, Zhou Sichen probably won't even need to take the initiative; the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family will contact him on their own.

At that point, it will depend on whether Zhou Sichen's skills and abilities are strong enough.

If he can conquer the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire without bloodshed using his wisdom and strategy, then Zhou Sichen will only need to do one thing in the future.

By integrating all the forces originally belonging to the Douluo Continent and making meticulous preparations, they took down the Sun Moon Empire in one fell swoop.

After that, he set about uniting the faiths of the entire continent in search of a path to godhood.

Only in this way can we seize the time to ascend to the divine realm and possess the strength to confront Tang Shenwang!

According to the current timeline, the God Realm still has the God of Destruction to hinder the God of Tang's ten-thousand-year plan, which buys Zhou Sichen valuable time.

After returning to the mainland, Du Busi and Zhou Sichen stood at a crossroads, exchanged a few words, and then split up into two groups.

Poison Undying moved nimbly, turned around and strode towards the direction of the Body Sect. His back view revealed a sense of competence and decisiveness.

Zhou Sichen stared in the direction where Du Busi had left, stood for a moment, then took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and headed towards Shrek Academy. He knew he also had important things to report to Elder Mu.

Zhou Sichen needed to tell Elder Mu about what had happened at the Body Sect over the past two months in advance. The experiences over these two months were rich and crucial, and had a potential impact on the development of the academy and the overall situation.

As he traveled, he mentally reviewed the events of the past two months, considering how to explain them in detail to Elder Mu.

After returning to his sect, Du Busi immediately and swiftly launched two important missions.

He first sought out the Third Elder, and with a solemn expression discussed the matter with him, conveying in detail the arrangements for going to the Spirit Pagoda in Tianyuan City. He emphasized the importance of this operation for the cooperation between the sect and the Spirit Pagoda. The Third Elder listened attentively, nodding from time to time to show his understanding and support.

After arranging for the Third Elder to lead the team to the Spirit Pagoda, Du Busi immediately went to find Vina.

As a member of the royal family, Vina received a court education from a young age, so her first thought was naturally for the benefit of the royal family.

When Du Busi explained Zhou Sichen's plan to her, asking her to return to the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family to promote its implementation, she frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

However, she also witnessed Zhou Sichen's amazing talent and unique strategies firsthand, and she had a deep respect and trust for Zhou Sichen.

So, after Du Bu Si's patient persuasion, the little girl was quickly convinced.

However, out of a sense of responsibility to the royal family, she also tried her best to secure more benefits for the royal family.

After all, no matter how much she loathed the scheming and intrigue-filled court, she could not change her bloodline and identity.

Being in a position means fulfilling one's duties; this is a mission she cannot escape.

Zhou Sichen fully understood Vina's actions, especially since he now had a fairly good relationship with Vina and Long Aotian.

Although they had only spent a little over a month together, Zhou Sichen, the vice sect leader, had already won the deep recognition of the entire Body Sect with his strength and wisdom, including the young sect leader Long Aotian and Vina, two prodigies of the younger generation.

Without Hellfire for transportation, and after parting ways with Poison Undying, Zhou Sichen still used a flying soul tool to travel for three days before finally returning to the academy.

Upon entering the academy, Zhou Sichen encountered Xuanzi, who was in a hurry.

Xuanzi, who usually appeared calm and composed, was now walking hurriedly with a hint of anxiety on his face.

When he saw Zhou Sichen, his furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and his face immediately lit up with joy: "Sichen, it's just in time that you're back. Old Master Mu has something to discuss with you."

Zhou Sichen looked puzzled, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he didn't ask any more questions. He simply followed Xuanzi to the Sea God Pavilion.

He thought to himself that he should not have shown any abnormality during his two-month absence.

After all, he left under the pretext of purchasing goods from the Heavenly Soul Empire. Although more than two months was a bit long, everything went very smoothly during that time, and no accidents occurred.

Upon arriving at the Sea God Pavilion, Zhou Sichen saw Elder Mu and several other elders holding a meeting in the main hall.

The atmosphere in the hall was slightly serious, and everyone's expressions were very focused.

Upon seeing Zhou Sichen arrive, Mu En's originally serious face broke into a kind smile, and he waved to him: "Sichen, you've come at the right time. After these two months of contact, Emperor Xu Jiawei of Xingluo has offered the most generous terms. Take a look."

As he spoke, Old Mu handed a document to Zhou Sichen.

Zhou Sichen took the document with both hands, read through its contents with focused attention, and then showed a look of surprise.

It turns out that Xu Jiawei had secretly selected the first batch of Soul Masters to receive the Soul Spirit Technique and was willing to entrust them to Shrek Academy for training.

Zhou Sichen knew that this would be a crucial boost to his future goal of conquering the Sun Moon Empire, so preparing for war in advance was the best course of action.

However, Xu Jiawei does not dare to mention this matter in court at present. Although Xu Jiawei has the courage to support Zhou Sichen, not all the civil and military officials in the court may support him.

So what Xu Jiawei needs to do now is to secretly help Zhou Sichen while waiting for the right opportunity.

After all, if too much is exposed now, spies from the Sun and Moon faction within the Empire might find out.

Xu Jiawei would not reveal anything before taking control of the royal families of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Fighting Spirit Empire.

He had to carefully conceal this surging power, waiting for the right moment to unleash it.

In Zhou Sichen's view, as long as he successfully subdued the three largest noble classes of the three imperial families, then the other dissenting voices in the court would be no threat and would be much easier to deal with.

But he knew in his heart that this matter could not be rushed; it had to be done step by step, with patient planning and steady progress.

After all, this involves the power shifts and complex situations of multiple empires, and the slightest mistake could lead to total defeat.

Zhou Sichen gently put down the documents in his hand, slowly sat down in his seat, straightened his back, his expression confident and firm, and said in a steady and powerful tone:

"Teacher, esteemed elders, please entrust the affairs of Xingluo to me. I will personally handle them properly and will not let you worry about them."

Looking at the spirited young man before him, Old Mu smiled with satisfaction, a smile brimming with approval and affection for Zhou Sichen.

"We have no doubt about your abilities, but there are still two months until the exchange program with the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy..."

Elder Mu's words carried a hint of worry, after all, this exchange student trip was of great significance, not only concerning Zhou Sichen's personal growth, but also potentially having a profound impact on the situation of the academy and even the entire Douluo Continent.

Xuanzi couldn't help but speak up, saying, "Although Sichen, your talent in soul tools is astonishing, the Spirit Pagoda is currently in a critical period of rapid growth, which is also an excellent opportunity to contact and cooperate with the other two great empires."

"If you go to the Sun Moon Empire, you'll need to understand the affairs of the Spirit Pagoda and its negotiations with other empires..."

Xuanzi frowned slightly, his face full of worry. He knew Zhou Sichen's importance in these matters, and once he left, the progress of many things might face many difficulties.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sichen maintained his confident smile and calmly said, "Elder Xuan, Teacher, you two don't need to worry too much."

“Although I am not in the academy, you are here, teacher. With you stepping in, and with your prestige and ability, I believe these matters will proceed well.” Zhou Sichen’s words were both a display of his full trust in Elder Mu and an attempt to soothe everyone’s anxiety.

Upon hearing this, Old Mu couldn't help but shake his head slightly, a smile playing on his lips, and said in feigned anger, "You little rascal, you really know how to fleece anyone you can get your hands on."

Although there was a hint of helplessness in his tone, Old Mu understood that Zhou Sichen's approach was a last resort.

Now that he had decided to fully support Zhou Sichen from behind the scenes and help him with his grand plan, Old Master Mu would naturally not be timid or hesitant.

In Elder Mu's heart, he also longed to see the day when the original Douluo Continent was unified, and he looked forward to defeating and unifying the Sun Moon Empire, so that this continent could usher in true peace and prosperity.

If Zhou Sichen can truly accomplish this great feat, even if he is unable to embark on that heaven-reaching path to the gods in the future, Elder Mu will feel that he has no regrets in this life.

Of course, in the eyes of Elder Mu, Elder Xuan, and all the other highly accomplished elders present, Zhou Sichen was undoubtedly the one with the best chance of achieving this goal.

Unlike the seven divine ancestors from ten thousand years ago, Zhou Sichen's ambitions were far greater; he did not only want to reach that awe-inspiring height through his own efforts.

Furthermore, he will rely on his outstanding abilities to lead the entire Douluo Continent to a brighter future!

This has long been the shared expectation of everyone present for Zhou Sichen.

That's why Shrek, the peacemaker who has stood for millennia, is willing to become Zhou Sichen's solid support at this crucial stage, protecting his dream.

They all firmly believed that it was Shrek Academy's greatest honor to cultivate such a brilliant talent as Zhou Sichen.

If they have the opportunity to meet the divine ancestors of the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils in the future, they will have every reason to feel proud and honored.

However, Mu En and the others never dreamed that the Tang God King, whom they had always revered and worshipped, was unwilling to see this happen.

If the current development trend of Douluo Continent continues, in the near future, Mu En, this "junior" who is highly respected in Douluo Continent, may be forced by the situation to personally remove the seven god ancestors who have always been worshipped by Shrek Academy from Shrek's Hall of Glory!
On one side is a distant legend from ten thousand years ago, and on the other is Zhou Sichen, whom they have watched grow up step by step, like a son. When faced with such a difficult choice, everyone already had the answer in their hearts.

In their eyes, Zhou Sichen represents the future and hope of Douluo Continent. For the sake of this continent's tomorrow, they are willing to give their all and stand firmly behind Zhou Sichen.
