Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 220: Cultivating the Secret of the Body in Seclusion

The next day.

Yuwen Tuo returned to the Benti Sect.

The purpose of his coming to the palace has been achieved, and the rest can be left to Your Majesty.

Yuwen Tuo said that he was caught between his so-called parents, feeling torn and exhausted both physically and mentally. He had no intention of caring about anyone anymore. Everything for him was left to the decision of His Majesty. He now just wanted to go back to his room and not see anyone.

He is portrayed as a pitiful and abandoned child, and the bad guy, of course, is the emperor.

Xu Jiujiu and Jing Hongchen couldn't even meet him in person.

Jing Hongchen was furious in the guest room. "Hmph, it's all because of the Xingluo Empire's interference. If it weren't for them, I would have taken the prince away."

"Master, in my opinion, Emperor Tianhun seems to be more inclined towards Xingluo, which is not good for us." said the follower.

"So what? He has already accepted my soul guide. The whole court knows it. As the saying goes, a king never jokes. How can he turn against me in one day? Unless he is going to break his promise to the world and give our Sun Moon Empire an excuse to launch a head-on attack." Jing Hongchen was very clear about his own advantages. Anyway, he had to stick to the saying that a king never jokes.

Who asked the emperor to take away his soul guide?

On the other hand, Xu Jiujiu was also worried. Although they felt that Emperor Tianhun was biased towards them, Jing Hongchen was in the right now. It was first come, first served, it was that simple.

Yuwen Tuo himself couldn't give a definite answer, and they couldn't force him either.

After all, if only one of the father or mother wants to see him, they can use family ties and moral constraints to blackmail him.

But now, he has to meet both of them, and the two are incompatible with each other, so he can only choose one of the two. As a son, how can he choose?
In other words, Yuwen Tuo morally blackmailed them. Whoever forced him at this time would be unreasonable. After all, no good person would force a child to abandon his father or mother.

"Sister Jiujiu!"

Just when she was anxious, Vina suddenly came to the door.

Although there are grudges between the major powers, even the three original Douluo Continent countries, who ostensibly helped each other to resist the Sun and the Moon, were actually full of mutual calculations.

But at least on the surface, the relationship they maintain is good. For example, Vina would call Xu Jiujiu "sister" when she sees her, and would call Tianyang Douluo of the Douling Empire "Grandpa Tianyang" when she sees him.

"Sister Vina!" Xu Jiujiu seemed very happy to see Vina coming. In her heart, Vina was her helper in the Tianhun Court.

"Sister, what's the situation? What does His Majesty say?"

"Sister Jiujiu, the Emperor is definitely on your side. How could he possibly want Yuwen Tuo, a level 20 genius, to join the Sun-Moon Empire?" Vina said. "But before you arrived, the Emperor had already agreed to the Sun-Moon Empire's request and accepted their soul guide."

"This was all done in full view of everyone. Father, as the Emperor, cannot go back on his word. I came here today to remind you, sister, that Father can only buy time and prevent Yuwen Tuo from leaving for the Sun-Moon Empire immediately. During this time, sister, if you can find a treasure that's better than a ninth-level soul guide, you can give it to Father as a bid against the Sun-Moon Empire, and to Yuwen Tuo as compensation for abandoning him for so many years."

Vina spoke in a somewhat teasing tone, and was openly asking for benefits from Xingluo.

In fact, she didn't want to use Yuwen Tuo's background in this way, but unexpectedly, Yuwen Tuo didn't care about this at all. He had told her before that she could use him however she wanted, as long as it didn't involve Shiwa Village.

Since the protagonist has said so, why should Vina be polite?

Xu Jiujiu immediately understood what he meant. After all, one of the departments she was in charge of in Xingluo held an auction. She secretly rebuked the old fox, the Emperor of the Tianhun Empire, for treating her nephew as a commodity and making the Xingluo Empire and the Sun and Moon Empire bid for him.

This was the royal bloodline of both nations, so the Tianhun Empire wasn't afraid of overeating. Xu Jiujiu was intelligent, but compared to the shrewd Tianhun Emperor, he could only think of the superficial aspects.

"Then Sister Vina, how long can His Majesty delay?" Xu Jiujiu asked.

"A year or two at most," Vina said. "Sister Jiujiu, I'm useless. This is all I can do for you. You should report back to His Majesty the Xingluo Emperor as soon as possible to see if there's anything he can do."

"Don't say that, sister. I'll go back and discuss this with my brother. I'll leave this matter to you and His Majesty. Don't let Tuo'er go to the Sun Moon Empire."

Vina nodded firmly, "Don't worry, sister!"

Looking at the figure that left in a hurry during a long time, Vina secretly said that the plan worked.

Although she was not sure what Yuwen Tuo and her father were plotting, she knew that delaying time would be beneficial to Yuwen Tuo no matter what choice he made later.

The most intuitive things are two things. One is the sect leader's injury, which can be basically recovered in a year. With the Extreme Douluo as the backing, he can be more confident in doing anything.

The second thing, of course, is the second awakening of Yuwen Tuo's Xuanyuan Sword spirit.

With his current level of cultivation, it should be enough to get started.

This is exactly the case. After Yuwen Tuo returned to the Benti Sect, he and Xiaoxiao went into seclusion to practice.

Xiao Xiao practiced "String Sound Without Image" as usual. She didn't actually need to go into seclusion, but she was very attached to Yuwen Tuo, and she knew that Yuwen Tuo would probably be away for a while after a year. She couldn't bear to let him go, so now she cherished the time she spent with her lover.

She accompanied Yuwen Tuo in seclusion, and some of her songs could also assist in cultivation.

However, Yuwen Tuo’s main practice was no longer the divine fire clone, but the "Secret of the Original Body"!
In the original novel, Huo Yuhao's spiritual eyes awakened for the second time with the help of the Wanchuanqiushui Dew in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, which was done with the help of external forces.

But according to the records in the Secret of the Original Body, the most perfect second awakening of the original body martial soul should rely on oneself.

Yuwen Tuo sat in meditation, communicating with the Xuanyuan Sword Soul in the sea of spirits.

The Snow Empress and the Ice Empress resided deep within the sea of spirits. As they gazed at the Xuanyuan Sword Soul radiating endless golden light, they said, "This training is extremely crucial. He must rely on himself to complete the second awakening of his original martial soul. It will be quite difficult, but once completed, his strength will undergo a qualitative change. It might even shorten the time it takes to summon me."

"Xue Di, did you notice it too?" asked Bing Di.

Xue Di nodded. "His martial spirit is very peculiar. It may seem like just a soul, but in reality, it has already affected his physical body. I suspect that the Xuanyuan Sword Spirit is helping his physical body transform. If I'm not mistaken, before his reincarnation, his body and the original Xuanyuan Sword may have had some connection."

Bingdi smiled and said, "But if that's the case, then he really has nothing to do with his so-called father and mother."

Originally, Yuwen Tuo was not close to his father and mother, and was unwilling to acknowledge them. The only connection he had was a blood relationship.

But if Yuwen Tuo's body is gradually being transformed by the Xuanyuan Sword, once he enters the second awakening state, when man and sword become one, body and soul become one, he will become similar to the body of the Xuanyuan Sword fragment in his previous life.

At that time, Yuwen Tuo in that state could be said to have no relationship at all with his father and mother.

"So what? Xiao Tuo doesn't like his parents in the first place. Isn't it enough for him to have you and me, his sister?" Xue Di said with a smile.
