Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

At this moment, all the dark moonlight surrounding Zhang Yangzi was absorbed into his body, and his soul power rapidly increased, breaking through the level 50 barrier and reaching level 55 before stopping its growth.

At the same time, a cry of an eagle rang out, and Zhang Yangzi's Dark Illusion Demon Eagle Martial Soul possessed him. However, unlike usual, a crescent moon appeared on the Dark Illusion Demon Eagle's forehead, and its feathers shone with a moon-like luster.

As the Dark Illusionary Eagle flapped its wings, specks of black moonlight shone down, containing extremely powerful spiritual energy.

Perhaps it shouldn't be called the Dark Illusionary Demon Eagle anymore, but rather the Black Moon Illusionary Demon Eagle, truly entering the ranks of the top-tier martial souls.

Chu Ci looked at Zhang Yangzi as he opened his eyes and said with a smile, "How are you feeling?"

Zhang Yangzi excitedly said repeatedly, "That's fantastic! I feel like my power has undergone a qualitative change."

"Yes, after absorbing the power of the Black Moon, your power will be more focused on mental attacks. Go back and train more to adapt to your current power as soon as possible," Chu Ci said.

"Okay!" Zhang Yangzi nodded emphatically.

After a while, accompanied by a deep dragon's roar, the white light on Wang Jinxi's side gradually faded, revealing Wang Jinxi's robust figure.

At this moment, Wang Jinxi's blood and qi surged, faintly forming a dragon-shaped phantom.

The Bone Dragon King Martial Soul roared behind him, its body now bearing more and sharper dragon bones, and containing a richer, purer concentration of dark element. The bloodline pressure it exuded was already approaching that of a true dragon.

This is the result of the Jade Dragon Bone Flower greatly enhancing the dragon bloodline within Wang Jinxi.

Moreover, the skeleton inside Wang Jinxi's body is as smooth as white jade, shining with a luminous white light that can be seen through the skin. The bones inside his body can now be called "jade bones".

Chapter 269 The Extreme Nightmare Demon Martial Soul Appears, Creating a Treasure Land

"Hoo..." Wang Jinxi opened his eyes, the white light on his skeleton disappeared, and his soul power had soared to level fifty-seven.

This is because most of the energy of the Jade Dragon Bone Flower was used to enhance Wang Jinxi's physique and bloodline; otherwise, Wang Jinxi's soul power would have increased even more.

Wang Jinxi stood up, stretched his limbs, and crackled loudly all over.

Seeing this, Chu Ci nodded secretly. The combat power of his subordinates had been greatly enhanced once again, and they would be able to do even more for him in the future.

Zhang Yangzi excitedly stepped forward to talk to Wang Jinxi about his feelings and changes after absorbing the immortal herb. Wang Jinxi, who was usually taciturn, couldn't help but ramble on about his changes.

Chu Ci shifted his gaze to Bai Tianzhe, who was not far away. He was shrouded in gray mist and appeared calm and unaffected, but Chu Ci could clearly sense that the Nightmare Martial Soul was undergoing an immeasurable transformation.

After a long while, the gray mist dissipated from Bai Tianzhe's body, and the Nightmare Martial Soul possessed him. Strands of gray energy representing all kinds of malice in the world danced around him. Anyone who only glanced at him would inevitably feel a sense of mental confusion.

Chu Ci frowned slightly, circulating his soul power within his body, and a transparent protective shield rose up around him, protecting Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi behind him.

“Hehehe…”

The Nightmare Martial Soul emitted a piercing howl, and the overwhelming malice surging around it gradually converged.

As the energy of the snow-white swan's kiss surged into the martial soul, the gathered malice began to rotate, forming a small storm that frantically absorbed the surrounding天地元力 (heaven and earth elemental power), and a terrifying and horrifying aura condensed within it.

As time passed, a dark figure gradually emerged from the storm of malice. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the dark figure was a mask.

The mask resembles a ferocious demon with two black horns on its head, revealing only its eyes. The mask is predominantly gray, adorned with intricate black and white divine patterns, adding to its mystique.

The Nightmare Martial Soul extended its body, and the Demon Mask immediately covered its face.

A strange power, like blood vessels, surged from the demon mask, gradually extending to every corner of the Nightmare Martial Soul's body.

The body, originally a chaotic, misty form, began to slowly take shape after passing through the blood vessels. Its hair resembled burning flames, its muscular body had shoulder armor that gleamed with a cold light, four thick arms stretched out, and its lower body was still shrouded in thick, steaming mist.

Catalyzed by the Snow-White Swan Kiss, the malevolent essence of the Nightmare Martial Soul was amplified a hundredfold, successfully evolving into the Extreme Nightmare Demon Martial Soul, truly entering the ranks of ultimate evil.

When Bai Tianzhe opened his gray eyes, his soul power had already reached level fifty-eight. He could now attempt to reach level sixty in the near future.

Chu Ci raised an eyebrow, and a faint white light emanated from his body, spreading outwards like ripples.

Wherever the white light passed, everyone felt their negative emotions vanish instantly, and their minds felt cleansed and relaxed.

The overwhelming negative emotions on Bai Tianzhe's body were suppressed by the white light at this moment, and the Extreme Nightmare Demon Martial Soul also voluntarily canceled the Martial Soul Possession state.

At the same time, Bai Tianzhe's hazy eyes cleared up considerably. He felt the extremely evil Nightmare Martial Soul within his body and breathed a sigh of relief before standing up from the ground.

Chu Ci walked to Bai Tianzhe's side and instructed him, "After you go back, go into seclusion and cultivate the Heart-Cleansing Technique. Once you have mastered the Heart-Cleansing Technique, you will no longer be affected by the Extreme Nightmare Demon Martial Soul."

The Nightmare Martial Soul evolved into the Extreme Nightmare Demon Martial Soul, further enhancing its ability to absorb and contain negative emotions. Bai Tianzhe also needs to make further progress in his cultivation of the Heart-Clearing Technique in order to remain unaffected by the negative emotions brought about by the Extreme Nightmare Demon Martial Soul.

"I understand, Boss." Bai Tianzhe nodded vigorously. Since he began cultivating, the Mind Cleansing Technique had been the focus of his practice. After countless days and nights of cultivation, the Mind Cleansing Technique was nearing mastery. After returning, he would soon be able to master the Mind Cleansing Technique at the mastery level and completely rid himself of the negative emotions brought about by his Martial Soul.

Chu Ci waved his hand, and a spatial rift appeared in front of him.

"Tianzhe, Jinxi, Yangzi, the three of you go back first," Chu Ci said calmly.

"Okay, boss." The three responded in unison and walked into the spatial rift together, where they were sent back.

Chu Ci turned to look at the Qiluo Tulip and said, "I'm going back now. Prepare the immortal herbs I just selected. I'll open the passage later, and you can bring them over."

“Yes, my lord!” Kira Tulip said respectfully.

Chu Ci summoned the Creation Flower Martial Soul. A petal of the Creation Flower lit up, and then a silver light flashed, and he instantly entered the Yunmeng Marsh.

"Taiyi, Mountain Spirit!" Chu Ci called out as he returned to the core area of ​​Yunmeng Marsh.

"My lord," Taiyi immediately appeared beside Chu Ci, and the Mountain Spirit also rode a white tiger to Chu Ci's side.

Then, Taiyi and Shan Gui, together with Chu Ci, opened a medicinal garden in the core area.

Taiyi gently raised the Hetu and Luoshu, chanting incantations. In an instant, thousands of stars shone brightly, one of which shone particularly brightly.

The stars, crisscrossing and intersecting, formed countless shimmering array patterns. As the brightest star fell, it landed on Little Mirror Lake and the surrounding grassland, slowly combining to form a magic array that merged into the earth.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth began to surge wildly towards the area covered by the magic array, and in an instant, the concentration of soul energy in that area increased more than threefold.

The Heavenly Origin Soul Gathering Array is an advanced array that gathers soul power and increases the concentration of soul power in a certain area.

The mountain spirit played its jade flute, and melodious sounds filled the air. Five spirits, transformed from flowers, grasses, and trees, appeared, hopping and dancing in the area.

As the five spirits danced, a wind of life swept across the area, and beautiful flowers bloomed here.

A Feast for Plants and Trees: A skill activated by the Mountain Spirit through playing a jade flute. The beautiful flute music transforms into life energy, improving the soil quality of an area, causing flowers to bloom and plants to flourish.

Chu Ci raised his hand, and under his control, a small portion of the remains of the nine dragon kings was slowly placed beneath the small Mirror Lake.

If the remains of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings can nourish the treasure land of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, then the remains of other Dragon Kings can most likely also evolve into a blessed land that can nourish all things.

The remains of the nine dragon kings began to release their power, forming a self-contained cycle under Chu Ci's control.

Taiyi activated the Hetu Luoshu, and the Dao of time emerged in his hands, causing the evolution of the nine Dragon Kings' corpses to be accelerated.

Chu Ci summoned the Flower of Creation Martial Soul, and his first Soul Ring flashed. A clear bell rang throughout the area, and the evolution time of the nine Dragon Kings' corpses was accelerated once again.

The seven colors in Little Mirror Lake are becoming brighter, and the vitality they contain is becoming stronger.

Chapter 270 Seven-Colored Aurora Lake, Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event

As time passed, Little Mirror Lake emitted an extremely strong seven-colored light. The remains of the nine dragon kings, buried deep underground, emitted a faint light. Wherever the seven-colored light swept, it was filled with a Daoist essence full of vitality.

"Heh, this place is quite a treasure. Let's rename it Seven-Colored Aurora Lake from now on," Chu Ci said with a smile.

"Yes, that's a good description!" Tai nodded in agreement.

The mountain spirit cheered, "That's great! I'll come here to play often from now on!"

Chu Ci turned around, and the Martial Soul of the Flower of Creation lit up, scattering golden pollen to form a spatial tunnel connecting the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

Seeing this, the Qiluo Tulip on the other side waved to the fairy herbs waiting behind her.

"Come in quickly!"

The three rare and precious herbs, the Jade Bamboo, the Primordial Immortal Herb, and the Extraordinary Chrysanthemum, all over 100,000 years old, transformed into human form. Using their soul power, they lifted up the other immortal herbs that had not yet taken form, and carried them into the space tunnel, arriving at the core area of ​​Yunmeng Marsh.

As soon as Moyu Shenzhu entered, his gaze fell on the Seven-Colored Aurora Lake not far away. He felt the immense vitality that the Seven-Colored Aurora Lake brought to this area and was secretly overjoyed.

The eyes of Hunyuan Immortal Herb and Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum were also drawn to the unique beauty of the Seven-Colored Aurora Lake, and they couldn't help but reveal their longing.

Chu Ci arrived in front of the three immortal herbs that were over 100,000 years old and said calmly, "This Seven-Colored Aurora Lake and the surrounding bamboo forest and grassland will be your home for rare and precious herbs in the future."

"Go and find a suitable location to settle all the rare and precious materials."

"Yes," the three leading immortal herbs responded in unison, then flew down to the side of the Seven-Colored Aurora Lake.

The three immortal herbs put down the rare and precious herbs they brought, and these herbs, relying on their instincts, accurately landed in the places that suited them best.

With a leap, the Black Jade Divine Bamboo transformed into a dark green bamboo stalk, piercing the very center of the bamboo forest.

The Primordial Immortal Herb and the Extraordinary Sky Chrysanthemum, one on each side, settled at opposite ends of the Seven-Colored Aurora Lake.

"Mountain Spirit, from now on you will be the manager of the Seven-Colored Aurora Lake," Chu Ci instructed. It was undoubtedly most suitable to let the Mountain Spirit, who could communicate with heaven and earth and command flowers, plants and trees, take charge of the Seven-Colored Aurora Lake.

"Understood, my lord." The mountain spirit was naturally overjoyed and couldn't have asked for more.

Seeing that everything was settled, Chu Ci turned around and returned to the pavilion to continue leading the way and focusing on cultivation to improve his strength.

……

Nearly half a year later, everything was peaceful inside the academy and calm outside.

Chu Ci, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Le Zhengyu discussed the upcoming Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event in their dormitory.

"We've come of age this year, and the Sea God Lake matchmaking event is about to begin. All inner court disciples aged eighteen and above are welcome to participate."

"Do you have any specific goals for this Sea God's Fate Blind Date Event?" Chu Ci asked.

Tang Wulin scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I don't have a goal, and since participation isn't mandatory, I'm thinking of not participating."

"How can that be!" Le Zhengyu grabbed Tang Wulin's shoulder and said eagerly, "We're already eighteen years old, it's time for us to start dating. Don't your aunt and uncle want you to find them a daughter-in-law?"

"Uh, this..." Tang Wulin gripped the hem of his clothes, speechless for a moment. In a recent video call with Tang Ziran and his wife, they had indeed expressed their hope that Tang Wulin would bring a girl home next time.

Tang Wulin said with a bitter face, "But I really don't have anyone I like!"

Xie Xie said with a look of exasperation, "How do you know there aren't any suitable girls if you don't go? Let me ask you, how many girls in our inner courtyard do you even know?"

Tang Wulin looked bewildered by the question and shook his head, "It seems I only know Gu Yue, Xiao Yan and a few others."

Tang Wulin spends his days cultivating behind closed doors and rarely participates in social activities, so he doesn't know many girls.

"So, go take a look, maybe you'll find something suitable!" Le Zhengyu said earnestly.

“Indeed, Wu Lin should attend the Sea God’s Fate Blind Date Event. After all, you are the captain of the Shrek Seven Devils. It would be bad to cancel such an important event without a reason,” Chu Ci said.

A look of emotion crossed Tang Wulin's face. After thinking seriously for two seconds, he nodded, "Okay, I'll participate!"

Chu Ci then turned her gaze to Xie Xie and Le Zhengyu, "And you two, do you have anyone you like?"

Xie Xie stroked his chin, pondered for a while, and said, "Actually, my goal is not very clear. It mainly depends on the situation at the time."
