Douluo Continent: I ushered in this era

“Yes,” Guan Yue’s smile widened; the virtual universe had given him a huge surprise.

So Guan Yue lavishly praised the virtual universe to Chu Ci with all sorts of superlative words.

Chu Ci's smile grew even brighter as he sat down opposite Guan Yue and said, "Since Palace Master Guan is so optimistic about the virtual universe, I have a favor to ask of you."

"Oh, what is it? Is it related to the virtual universe? Tell me about it?" Guan Yue asked with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Chu Ci smiled and said, "I hope the Federation can help me promote the virtual universe throughout the entire Federation!"

After listening, Guan Yue thought for a moment and then readily agreed.

“Alright, it’s a piece of cake. I’ll talk to the Speaker about it myself later. As long as you prepare the virtual universe, you can easily promote it throughout the entire Federation.”

Chu Ci's smile deepened as she turned to Jing Xu and asked, "Old Xu, how are the preparations for the virtual universe going?"

Jing Xu quickly replied, "We're ready. As long as the Federation gives us the green light, all citizens of the Federation will be able to use the virtual universe smoothly."

"Great! I'm relieved that you're so confident." Guan Yue smiled and gently patted the virtual reality headset, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

The next moment, as if suddenly remembering something, Guan Yue turned her gaze to Chu Ci and asked.

"Chu Ci, do you think it's possible to create a separate area for the Temple of War in the virtual universe, similar to the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

Chu Ci patted his chest and said confidently, "I've had this idea for a long time. The War God Domain, a separate area for the War God Temple, is under construction. Temple Master Guan can look forward to it."

Guan Yue was even more satisfied, nodding with admiration in her eyes, "Alright, then I look forward to your performance. If you need any resources during the construction process, just ask me directly."

"Great! Lord Guan."

"Hahaha!"

"Oh, right!" Chu Ci slapped his forehead, remembering something. He picked up a brand-new virtual reality headset, tapped it a few times, and a transparent screen was projected onto the top of the headset.

Chu Ci made a couple of gestures on the screen, and countless data scrolled across the screen before the words "Input Complete" lit up.

A soft "sizzle" sound rang out, the display of the virtual reality helmet flickered irregularly, and then changed to a new appearance with a gun-shaped pattern engraved on the side.

Guan Yue watched Chu Ci's movements with great interest. He had excellent eyesight and immediately recognized that the spear-shaped pattern was actually the appearance of the Heavenly Spear.

Chu Ci handed the brand-new virtual helmet to Guan Yue and explained, "This virtual helmet is an exclusive helmet that has been verified with information. The person who wears this virtual helmet will enter the virtual universe as Guan Yue, the deputy hall master of the War God Hall."

"In addition, after the War God Domain, the exclusive base of the War God Temple's virtual universe, is successfully built, I will also record the relevant permissions belonging to you, Lord Guan, in the War God Domain into this virtual helmet."

"So, keep this virtual reality headset safe."

Seeing Guan Yue's serious expression, Chu Ci smiled and gave him a boost of confidence.

Chapter 330 Island of Gods, The Combination of Martial Soul and Soul Tool

"Of course, this virtual helmet will record your soul aura the first time you enter, so no one but you can use this virtual helmet."

After hearing Chu Ci's words, Guan Yue visibly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice, "Okay, I will take good care of this virtual reality helmet."

"And another thing," Chu Ci added, "Lord Guan, do you remember that island high above the Mountain and Sea Realm?"

Guan Yue nodded. "Of course I remember such a conspicuous building."

Chu Ci explained, "That island is called the Island of Gods. Every Limit Douluo who enters the virtual universe will automatically have an independent residence on the Island of Gods. Whether they want to live there or not, they will have one."

The Island of Gods is an area specifically set up for Limit Douluo. It can be considered one of the perks of Limit Douluo in the virtual universe, responsible for highlighting their noble status.

"So, Lord Guan, you will naturally have one too. When you first enter the virtual universe, you will appear in the mansion on the Island of Gods," Chu Ci said.

"I understand, you did a great job on that." Guan Yue nodded, her gaze towards Chu Ci full of admiration. This kid is getting better and better. If the Limit Douluos are satisfied, the forces behind them will be satisfied, and the resistance to the promotion of the virtual universe in the Federation will be much less.

Chu Ci thought for a moment, and after making sure he had given all the necessary instructions, he stood up and said one last time, "Now it's up to you, Lord Guan. The day the Federation fully promotes the virtual universe will be the day the virtual universe is fully launched."

Guan Yue nodded and said with a smile, "Don't worry, the virtual universe is of great importance. Old Chen is already on his way back. With the two of us going together, how could we possibly fail!"

One of the results of the War God Temple's alliance with multiple legions and the doves to besiege the Spirit Pagoda was that the current Speaker came from the Central Legion, and it was indeed easy for Chen Xinjie to persuade him to agree to promote the virtual universe.

Chu Ci smiled and said, "Then I'm relieved!"

After saying goodbye to Guan Yue, Chu Ci walked straight out of the office, with Jing Xu following closely behind.

"Old Xu, would you like to come with me to Mingde Hall?" Chu Ci asked.

Jing Xu's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He nodded and said in a deep voice, "It's been a while since I've seen Patriarch Hongchen. It would be good to go and see him."

Qing Hongchen and Jing Xu both participated in the virtual universe project and became acquainted as a result.

“Alright, let’s go together!” Chu Ci said, and walked towards Mingde Hall with Jing Xu.

……

It must be said that the headquarters of the Temple of War is really huge. It can be said that it has hollowed out the entire mountain range where it is located, and it can easily house such a large Mingde Hall.

Chu Ci and Jing Xu took an elevator inside the 19th War God Temple's base, descended to an unknown floor, and the elevator doors opened, revealing a huge, white-themed sci-fi hall behind it.

This is the rebuilt Mingde Hall, where elite soul masters from mortal families or those recruited serve.

The head of the Hongchen family, Qing Hongchen, had been waiting there. Upon seeing Chu Ci and Jing Xu, he immediately put on a smile and went up to Chu Ci, showering him with concern and warmth, making Chu Ci blush.

After welcoming Chu Ci, Qing Hongchen turned his gaze to Jing Xu and said with the same warm smile, "Brother Jing Xu, it's been a long time. How have you been? Xiao Yu has been talking about you a lot."

Jing Xu's usually calm face flushed slightly as he repeatedly said, "It's fine, it's fine. Thank you for your concern, Brother Hongchen."

The "Xiao Yu" mentioned by Qing Hongchen refers to Qing Hongchen's niece, Yu Hongchen.

Yu Hongchen inherited the Hongchen family's talent in soul tools, so he participated in many of Chu Ci's soul tool projects, including the virtual universe project.

In the virtual universe project team, Yu Hongchen met Jing Xu and fell in love at first sight. She then pursued him intensely, leaving the orthodox scientific researcher Jing Xu quite bewildered.

Qing Hongchen was naturally pleased with this situation. Jing Xu was not only a half-step level 10 Soul Master, but also a favorite of Chu Ci. He received a lot of resources and participated in the core part of the virtual universe, which was something that Mingde Hall, which had followed Chu Ci for a long time, had not been involved in.

Chu Ci glanced at him and caught sight of an unexpected person out of the corner of her eye.

"Senior Makino!"

Wearing a black military uniform, Mu Ye turned around and saw Chu Ci. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he laughed as he walked up to Chu Ci.

"I brought disciples from the Body Sect to Mingde Hall today to cooperate on a research project. I heard you were here, so I came to see you."

Qing Hongchen explained from the side, "The combination of the main body's martial soul and the soul tool is one of the research directions of Mingde Hall, and it is also a research that His Majesty the Main Body is cooperating with us on."

The part of the Martial Soul that is the part of the Soul Master's body that is far beyond that of an ordinary person. This also means that a more powerful Soul Tool can be attached to the corresponding part to assist them in battle.

This idea was proposed as early as Huo Yuhao's time, but unfortunately it never made a sound.

When Chu Ci joined the War God Hall from the Body Sect, he mentioned that combining the Body Martial Soul with the Soul Guidance Device might have unexpected effects. Unexpectedly, the Mingde Hall actually started research in this area.

Mu Ye continued, "The concept of combining the Body Martial Soul with the Soul Guidance Device has actually been circulating within the Body Sect for a long time, but unfortunately no one has ever tried to implement it, causing it to be gradually forgotten."

“But after you mentioned this idea that day, it sounded familiar, so I went back to look it up and realized that the decline of the Body Sect was related to its detachment from the times and its self-imposed isolation. So I decided to revive this idea.”

"So I approached the head of the Hongchen family and received his help."

Qing Hongchen chuckled and stroked his beard, saying, "Actually, what Your Majesty said gave me a lot of inspiration. The development of soul tools is changing rapidly, with all kinds of powerful soul tools emerging one after another, and even epoch-making soul tools like battle armor appearing. But there is one thing that has never been achieved."

"That's the perfect combination of Martial Soul and Soul Tool!"

Chu Ci raised an eyebrow, a surge of interest rising within him. He waved his hand, signaling Qing Hongchen to continue.

"Please note that I am not talking about the combination of a Soul Master and a Soul Tool, but the combination of a Martial Soul and a Soul Tool. This sounds very far-fetched, and I used to think so too."

"But when I saw the original spirit, I saw this possibility again, because the original spirit is a part of the spirit master himself. Unlike other types of spirits, it is visible but intangible. This provides a strong foundation for the combination of spirit and spirit tool."

"This is perhaps the unique advantage of the original martial soul."

Chapter 331 Body Refining Technique, Experiment Begins

Imagine a Soul Master with a dual-armed Soul Spirit. If a fire-elemental Soul Guidance Device could be fused with his dual-armed Soul Spirit, temporarily granting him fire abilities and imbuing his Soul Skills with fire elements.

For example, one of his soul skills is to conjure a giant arm to smash the opponent. After fusing with a fire element soul tool, his soul tool becomes a giant arm of flames, and its power is incomparable to what it used to be.

However, the method of using a martial soul to carry a soul tool would undoubtedly place a huge burden on the soul master. But since the martial soul is part of the soul master's body, the corresponding parts of the martial soul have extremely high load-bearing capacity.

Therefore, the original martial soul is the most likely to be able to combine with a soul tool.

Chu Ci listened to Qing Hongchen's words, nodded slightly, and said calmly, "Not bad, a feasible theory."

"So how is this research progressing?" Chu Ci asked.

Qing Hongchen shook his head and said regretfully, "To be honest, there hasn't been much progress. The degree of integration between the soul tool and the martial soul that we have developed so far is not even as good as the degree of integration between the battle armor and the soul master."

“Take me to see it!” Chu Ci suggested.

Qing Hongchen smiled and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, please follow me."

Led by Qing Hongchen, he led the group to the Soul Guidance Laboratory, which was responsible for the project of combining the main body's martial soul with the soul guidance device.

Chu Ci walked side by side with Mu Ye behind them, and asked softly, "How is life for your Body Sect members at the War God Temple? Are you adapting well?"

Mu Ye replied, "That's great. Not only did Lord Guan arrange a separate living area for our Body Sect, but he also helped us recruit children from all over the Federation who have awakened their Body Martial Souls."

Chu Ci nodded and then asked, "How are you doing with the cultivation techniques I gave you?"

After Mu Ye agreed to lead the Body Sect to join the War God Hall, Chu Ci gave Mu Ye several body-refining techniques to fill the gap in the Body Sect's inheritance.

As for where the body-refining techniques came from, a small part was accidentally discovered by Chu Ci while training his physique, and the other part was created by Dong Jun.

Why was it Dongjun who created it? Because Dongjun had nothing else to do besides practicing martial arts, so he took the opportunity to create a few sets of techniques for Chu Ci. This not only improved his own understanding of martial arts but also helped Chu Ci build up his foundation.

Anyway, Dongjun's body contains the source of creative power, and his creative ability is extraordinary. He finds it difficult to comprehend overly profound techniques, but he can comprehend ordinary techniques of the Tang Sect's level relatively easily.

Not only Dongjun, but also Donghuang Taiyi, Yunzhongjun and other beings residing in Yunmengze contributed several cultivation techniques to the Chu Ci.

The Chu Ci (Songs of Chu) contains a wide variety of techniques, including Donghuang Taiyi's Qimen Bagua, energy manipulation, and mental control methods; Dongjun's martial arts and body-refining techniques; Yunzhongjun's swordsmanship; and Dasiming's knife skills. All of these techniques are gradually being put to use.

For example, the body-refining techniques given to the Body Sect, as well as the outstanding members of the 19th War God Hall team under Chu Ci, such as Bai Tianzhe and Wang Jinxi, almost all of their techniques and self-created soul skills were created by the creatures of Yunmengze.

Mu Ye smiled and replied, "The cultivation techniques you gave me are very suitable for the disciples of the Body Sect. Thank you."

Speaking of Chu Ci's body-refining techniques, Mu Ye was filled with mixed emotions. The accumulated knowledge and skills of the Body Sect over a long period of time couldn't compare to the power of Chu Ci alone. Was this because Chu Ci was too monstrous, or because their Body Sect was too useless?

The body-refining methods that Chu Ci brought to the Body Sect, even the worst ones, were comparable in effect to the Body Sect's innate secret techniques, and they did not have high requirements for the cultivators.

For example, among the cultivation methods that Chu Ci gave to the Body Sect, there is a body-refining technique called the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, which requires soaking in rare and precious herbs and cultivating internal energy to achieve both internal and external cultivation in order to temper the body.

This method of cultivating both internal and external aspects had never appeared in the Body Sect before, so much so that when Mu Ye saw the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill, he was utterly astonished.

Another book, "The Five Internal Organs Body Strengthening Technique," clearly explains how to prepare the rare and precious materials needed for body strengthening.

How to adjust the formula to be gentle, how to adjust it to be strong, how to adjust it to be suitable for the arms, and how to adjust it to be suitable for the thighs.
