Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 94 Heading to Sunset Forest
"This is my little sister, Tianzhen," Xu Tianran introduced Xia Die to Xu Tianzhen.

His meaning was simple: since he couldn't win them over, he would slowly devise a plan.

Xia Die is still young, and not much older than her younger sister. So, making the two friends now might not be a bad thing for her.

Xu Tianzhen indeed approached Xia Die, her little face filled with admiration and a hint of eagerness.

"Hello, you're so beautiful! You must be Xia Die. Your skin is so soft, why are you so cold?"

"Forehead……"

"Your record as a Soul Master is truly impressive, but I will break it and become a Soul Master genius who surpasses you in the future."

Furthermore, I will participate in the next Continental Soul Master Tournament, and I will bring the championship back to Sun Moon Palace.

This little girl clearly doesn't know what this record means. If Xiao Hongchen were here, he would definitely give her a thumbs up and praise her for being so bold and unaware of her own limitations.

Although Xu Tianran was suspicious by nature, he often showed an unusually indulgent attitude towards Xu Tianzhen, to which he would simply smile gently.

As the youngest princess in the royal family and Xu Tianran's younger sister, Xu Tianzhen was deeply loved by the royal family, not only by Xu Tianran but also by the old emperor. Moreover, Xu Tianzhen had a lively and carefree personality, and because she spent many years studying soul tool technology, she distanced herself from Xu Tianran's political ambitions.

Her martial soul is the Sun Martial Soul inherited by the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire. She is exceptionally talented and acts independently. She was not directly involved in her brother Xu Tianran's power struggle, so no one would target her.

"Anytime is fine, sir."

In fact, with Xu Tianzhen's talent and martial soul, if he had pursued the path of a soul master, he could have gone much further and his future would have been limitless. He could have studied under Ni Ye, but Xu Tianzhen simply didn't want to.

Moreover, apart from Kong Deming, no one in the Sun Moon Empire knew where Ni Ye was.

Xu Tianzhen thought Xia Die spoke so gently, and he was really beautiful, with such beautiful eyes. She couldn't believe there really was such a perfect person in the world.

Xu Tianran was clearly satisfied. He coughed twice and laughed, "Tianzhen can spend more time with Adie in the future. My younger sister is mischievous. When she enters the Royal Soul Master Academy, Adie, you can take care of her for me."

By the time they left the palace, it was already very late.

Jing Hongchen knew that Xia Die and Crown Prince Xu Tianran had gone out alone for a while. After inquiring, she learned that Xia Die had not agreed to anything, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Die is thorough and efficient in her work, so I don't have to worry about her much. In contrast, Xiao Hongchen is the grandson who always gives me a hard time.

That little rascal actually put his arm around those ministers. You think you've got enough trouble already? Wait until we get back, and you'll see if I don't give you a good beating.

Xiao Hongchen felt a chill run down his spine; this uneasy feeling made him very uncomfortable.

"Ah Die, can I rest at your place today?"

"Eh?"

Although he didn't look further, Xiao Hongchen could guess that his grandfather would definitely give him a good beating for his smug and boastful behavior just now.

I can't go home today, and it's dangerous at the academy too. I'd better go hide at A-Die's place.

"Ok."

…………

The next day.

Xia Die led them to a place to cure the poison in Meng Hongchen's body.

The group consisted of Kong Deming and Jing Hongchen leading the team, along with a few other people.

As dusk began to fall, they entered the Sunset Forest. The crimson sunset, surging across the sky like burning silk, spread layer upon layer across the dome. The round, blood-red setting sun slowly disappeared into the folds of the distant, rugged mountains, its last rays struggling to pierce the clouds. The once tranquil Sunset Forest was now shrouded in a thin, veil-like mist under the hazy sunset, wisps of fog clinging to the branches, flickering in the shadows, subtly blending the contradictory atmosphere of peace and eeriness into a chillingly mysterious ambiance.

Sunset Forest is located a hundred miles east of Heaven Dou City and is one of the largest wild soul beast habitats in the Heaven Soul Empire. Although Sunset Forest itself is not as vast as Star Dou Forest, it is home to many high-level soul beasts. The distance from Heaven Dou City to Sunset Forest is very short, making it a popular hunting ground for soul masters from most cities surrounding Heaven Dou City.

Compared to Starry Sky Forest, Sunset Forest has many differences, besides the large difference in total forest area.

The Star Dou Great Forest is located almost in the central part of the continent. It has a pleasant climate with temperatures remaining between 20 and 30 degrees Celsius year-round. There is almost no winter, let alone ice and snow.

Sunset Forest is more than a thousand kilometers north of Starry Sky Forest. Continuing north for a sufficient amount of time, one can reach the far north, where temperatures are much lower. In this environment, the vegetation is primarily coniferous forest, better suited to medium to low temperatures, with some subtropical plants as well.

Compared to the Star Dou Forest, the species here are not that rich, so they appear sparse. But the vegetation that can survive here will have stronger survivability.

Tropical forests feel denser and more humid, while temperate plants feel cooler, but they don't have the same depth as tropical plants. Therefore, it's much easier to move around in Sunset Forest than in Starry Sky Forest.

Of course, exceptionally powerful spirit beasts generally prefer tropical rainforest environments like the Star Dou Great Forest, where the abundance of spirit beasts ensures a plentiful supply of prey. Therefore, while there are many spirit beasts in Sunset Forest, few possess cultivation levels exceeding ten thousand years; most remain between a thousand and ten thousand years. Furthermore, the unbridled hunting by spirit masters in Heaven Dou City has led to a general decline in the overall quality of the spirit beasts.

To hunt a suitable spirit beast, one needs not only strength but also patience.

"Ah Die, are you sure your destiny is guided within this Sunset Forest?" Meng Hongchen asked curiously, looking at the Sunset Forest marker on the map.

"This is it, the target is correct."

Looking at the damp earth, a strange and bewildering aura emanated from the air.

Ten thousand years ago, it was with the help of the magic grass in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire that the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils achieved a leap in talent. In the original novel, the original owner, in order to find the magic grass to cure Wang Dong'er, rushed into the Sunset Forest regardless of life and death, and achieved a transformation in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, further developing his talents and potential.

The original owner of Huo Yuhao joined the Haotian Sect, but because the Haotian Sect somehow acquired the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Marrow Bed, the Snow Emperor experienced a crisis. This forced Huo Yuhao's biggest and most threatening cheat ability—Electra—to sacrifice himself to save the original owner. Upon closer examination, this plot point strongly suggests that Tang Shenwang's deus ex machina technique is highly likely.

Such places as the Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrow are extremely rare. Where did the Haotian Sect, located in the central region of the Heavenly Soul Empire, obtain these Ten Thousand Year Cold Marrows?

If I had to say, there would be many at the Earth Dragon Gate.

And it was also made into a bed!
This shows that the Haotian Sect has obtained a lot of Ten Thousand Years Cold Marrow, otherwise it would not be possible to make a large Ten Thousand Years Cold Marrow bed. Moreover, it happened that the crisis broke out with the Snow Emperor and Alex had to sacrifice himself to save the original owner!
Furthermore, when Wang Dong'er was in trouble, Niu Tian and Tai Tan, both Extreme Douluo and doting on Wang Dong'er, did not protect Huo Yuhao from going to the Yin-Yang Eye to retrieve the magical herb to heal Wang Dong'er. Instead, they left Huo Yuhao to risk his life alone to get the magical herb from the Yin-Yang Eye. Meanwhile, the God King Tang was watching all this, under the pretext of testing Huo Yuhao's love for Wang Dong'er...

All I can say is that after Ilex's sacrifice, God King Tang began to formally tame the original owner...

In total, including Jing Hongchen and Kong Deming, there were only about ten people.

Xia Die, Bolucia, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Di Qiu'er, Gu Yuena, Jiu Li, Wang Dong'er, Xiao Xiao.

As dusk settled, it slowly painted the sky. The group sat around the campfire, ate a quick dinner, and then pitched their tents at the edge of the Sunset Forest. As the last rays of the setting sun disappeared below the horizon, night completely enveloped the area.

As the first rays of dawn pierced the night like a sharp sword, the curtain of daybreak slowly rose. Pale golden light poured down, bathing the earth in a soft glow. Meanwhile, the Sunset Forest was shrouded in layers of thick mist, its hazy atmosphere imbued with an elusive mystery.

Xia Die got up early and began cultivating her destiny power and soul power, kneeling on a boulder to practice.

With the help of fate, his cultivation speed is quite good.

Create your own new destiny path of [Death]. There are currently eighteen destiny paths: Destruction, Hunting, Abundance, Immortality, Preservation, Memory, Joy, Procreation, Knowledge, Purity, Order, Gluttony, End, Balance, Mystery, Purity, Exploration, Nothingness, and Harmony. Create your own entirely new destiny path: [Death].

Or perhaps the only help would be from the Imaginary Tree generated by the system.

He's not even at the level of a Commander yet; becoming a Star God is far too distant for him.

However, as his physical attributes and destiny power improve, his soul power cultivation speed will only increase, which is in stark contrast to those soul masters whose soul power increases more and more slowly in the later stages.

Although Bolysia is troubled by her second ultimate martial soul, the two of them can help her cultivate together, so it's not too bad.

Xia Die and Bolysia now possess extremely strong mental power, even surpassing some Limit Douluo of the mental type. They have already made initial contact with the power of laws. Yan is already at level 64, and breaking through to level 65 will not be easy.

The power of destiny is the power of the star gods in the universe, and it is currently within the concept of destiny of [Memory Star God · Fu Li].

Even if it is impossible to achieve rapid soul power transmission, the speed of soul power cultivation is definitely far beyond that of any soul master genius!
