Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 358 The Tower of Eternity
The far north is covered in snow all year round, and the cold winds from the north blow constantly, making the winters exceptionally long even in places just near the far north.

Since Ye Xishui's death and the strange changes that followed, Lin Xiao had made several trips to the core area of ​​the far north. However, he had not sensed the existence of the other plane since then, as if everything back then was just an illusion.

The Snow Empress's soul floated in the heavy snow. She seemed to particularly enjoy such snowy days, her figure swaying gracefully, like a fairy dancing in the snow.

No, she was originally a snow sprite.

Turning his gaze away, Lin Xiao stopped paying attention to the Snow Emperor admiring the snow scene and instead focused his gaze on what was in front of him. Not far in front of him, a dark red tower was floating in the air, spinning continuously.

"The Tower of Death..." Lin Xiao carefully examined it. Although he had not yet broken through to the level of a ninth-level Soul Master, he could still understand some of the magic arrays in the Tower of Death.

"It's a pity. Although it's a level nine soul tool, compared to other level nine soul tools, it's only powerful enough, and its technology isn't very advanced."

Ming Lei's soul floated quietly beside Lin Xiao. Hearing Lin Xiao's words, he subconsciously glanced at him. "Well... not entirely. After all, it was the work of the Supreme Master."

Although he had become a soul, Ming Lei seemed to still harbor some fear of Ye Xishui.

“I think that assessment is quite fair.” Feng Shen floated around and carefully examined the Tower of Death. “It’s even a bit of an overestimation.”

"In terms of materials and craftsmanship, this Death Tower is not even as good as my Consecration Platform. Its destructive power does not come from itself, but from burning souls."

"Compared to a true level nine soul tool, it is still somewhat inferior. The reason it is famous is because the person who used it was the renowned Death God Douluo."

Fengshen gave a brief critique before turning to Lin Xiao, "Should we disassemble it?"

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, then took two steps forward. "No matter what, it has entered the ranks of level nine soul tools."

"It happens to be the simplest one. I want to try and see if I can find an opportunity to break through to the ninth level of Soul Master."

Ming Lei, who was standing to the side, did not "speak" but simply shook his head quietly. Then, he heard Lin Xiao's voice in his ear.

"What's wrong? Is there something else you're thinking?"

Ming Lei was startled and shrank his head slightly. "No, it's fine."

"It seems you haven't gotten used to this kind of life yet. I can sense what's on your mind, so why don't you just tell me?"

Seeing Lin Xiao staring at him, Ming Lei glanced at Feng Shen and then looked away again. "Actually, breaking through to the ninth level of Soul Master is not something that can be done by simply imitating the already mature ninth-level Soul Tools, just like before."

"While this method does offer some help, truly breaking through to level nine requires you to fully understand soul tools and create your own unique soul tool."

"Soul Masters are similar to Soul Masters in that they also cultivate themselves. When they reach a high level, some things cannot be taught or explained in words. They must be comprehended by the Soul Masters themselves. Therefore, almost all level nine Soul Masters have their own unique Soul Guidance Devices."

After listening to Ming Lei's words, Lin Xiao nodded slightly. In fact, he could also feel that if he could still see the shadows of some technological products from his previous life in the soul tools of levels one to eight, then the level nine soul tools could no longer be explained by simple technology.

Level 9 soul tools possess various inexplicable abilities, which is why Lin Xiao clearly realized that this world was ultimately different from his previous life; it was a world with extraordinary power. "If you want to break through to the level 9 soul tool master, I think using your previous soul tool cannon as a foundation would be better than this Death God Tower."

Upon hearing this, Fengshen also came over. He was also a Soul Master in his previous life and had exceptional experience in how to break through to the ninth level of Soul Master.

Lin Xiao subconsciously touched the storage soul tool on his body, which indeed contained countless arrays of floating cannons.

However, since he broke through to the Ninth Realm, the power of these soul-guided cannons has become somewhat inadequate to keep up with his own strength, and he rarely has the opportunity to use them anymore.

Fengshen's words reminded him that the Soul Guidance Cannon, which had accompanied him since he first encountered Soul Guidance Devices, might be the real opportunity for him to break through to level nine.

“I understand.” Lin Xiao nodded. “In that case, then this tower…”

"This tower can be left for the time being."

"teacher?"

Electrolux's voice suddenly rang out, and Fengshen and Minglei instantly fell silent, floating quietly to the side, not daring to speak.

“Since you retrieved that fragment of divine consciousness, I have been able to recall more things than I expected. I vaguely remember that I used to have a weapon, which was a tower.”

"Although the way weapons are made in my world is different from the way soul tools are made, there are some similarities. Using this tower as a prototype, I might be able to recreate some of my previous weapon based on it."

Lin Xiao's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. Although he didn't remember clearly, he knew very well that the weapon Elex was talking about was very likely the Eternal Tower, a divine artifact he had created in his original world.

Although Electrox said he could only replicate a fraction of the original's power, it was still far beyond the level of ordinary soul tools.

"Teacher, how much do you remember about that weapon?"

“Hahaha.” Electrox laughed. “I’m not entirely sure either, but these two worlds are fundamentally different. I can only try some methods based on your understanding of soul tools. In any case, this soul tool will eventually become completely different.”

Lin Xiao's gaze towards the Death Tower changed slightly. If his teacher could really find a way to link the different technologies of the two worlds, then this clumsy level nine soul tool in front of him would be the embryo of a divine artifact.

Lin Xiao narrowed her eyes and quickly pulled herself back to reality.

Even if Electrolux could find such a method, the difficulty of making a divine artifact would certainly be far greater than that of making a level nine soul tool. Right now, he is not even a level nine soul tool master yet he is thinking about imitating the Tower of Eternity. That is really thinking too far ahead.

After glancing around, Lin Xiao put away the Death God Tower and started walking again. "Let's go, let's go check on the Soul Guidance Cannon. This soul tool that has been with me for so long should be upgraded again."

As he spoke, he gently raised his arm, and several small floating cannons floated up and followed behind him.
