Douluo Continent: Starting with a Void Treasure Trove

"We've finally arrived. Is this Mingdu?"

"Why is it so different from the previous Tian Dou City? Why are there no city walls? And why are those buildings so... tall?"

As Di Ni'er spoke, she transformed into a hundred thousand "whys" and jumped in front of Xu Yang, making an exaggerated gesture with her arms.

Xu Yang and his group quickly returned to Mingdu. Even without using Gu Yuena's spatial teleportation, the level-nine flying soul tool and Di Tian's speed were still very fast.

If Tiandou City is an ancient city steeped in ten thousand years of history, then Mingdu is a more modern metropolis, lacking the heavy city walls and featuring more modern architecture.

"Also, what are those iron boxes running on the road? Why can ordinary people without soul power drive these things so fast? Even a typical agility-type Soul King couldn't catch up with them."

"I don't see any soul power on them, or are their soul power cultivation levels so well that I haven't noticed?"

Di Ni'er hoped that Xu Yang could give an answer, while Di Tian and Gu Yuena, though expressionless, also shifted their attention to him.

"The reason why Mingdu has no city walls is that the entire city is surrounded by a huge soul-guided array. As long as any external force that is detrimental to Mingdu is detected, the city defense system will react immediately. The level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells are not just for show."

"Therefore, the city wall is dispensable."

"As for those things running on the road, they are called Soul Guided Cars, which are an application of the sealed baby bottle technology that A-Yang has been researching in recent years."

"Soul power can be used as a source of energy, allowing ordinary people to also enjoy the benefits of soul power."

Kong Deming answered Di Ni'er's question.

"You're amazing!"

Di Ni'er's eyes were now sparkling as she looked at Xu Yang.

Di Tian's feelings were even more complicated. He had never expected that human soul guidance technology had developed to this extent.

"Are those people from Shrek Academy useless? They don't even know how rapidly their rivals are developing. Compared to the Sun Moon Empire, Shrek Academy's Soul Guidance Department is simply a joke."

"Thanks to our lord."

Di Tian couldn't help but admire Gu Yuena's foresight, and he admired even more the wise decision to cooperate with Xu Yang.

As for Zhang Lexuan, she watched all this in silence. The shock that Mingdu brought her was no less than that of Di Ni'er, but she just didn't say anything.

"There are many other applications for sealed baby bottles. Look at what that person is holding. In winter like now, if each household needs heating, they can use the sealed baby bottle to go to the soul power supply station to recharge it, and then put it into the heating soul tool they bought."

"The price isn't high either, only two to three copper soul coins a day. Of course, it wouldn't be this price under normal circumstances, but with the subsidies from the Sun Moon Empire, basically every household in Mingdu can afford it."

Xu Yang pointed to something that looked like a jar that someone was carrying and began to explain it to Di Ni'er.

At the same time, he was complaining.

"These people driving soul-guided cars are getting more and more outrageous. They even dare to speed in the city. It seems we need to have Dean Hongchen report this to the higher-ups and speed up the establishment of traffic regulations."

"Oh, right, and this too."

Xu Yang took out four communication bracelets of different colors from his storage soul tool and handed them to Gu Yuena and the other three.

"This is a remote communication soul tool. As long as you are within the Mingdu area, you can contact me through this. Here are the instructions."

"Is it really that amazing? We can contact you through this as long as we're in Mingdu?"

Di Ni'er was once again quite shocked by the communication bracelet that Xu Yang took out.

"That's right, but the coverage is limited to Mingdu. This is mainly limited by the coverage of my base station."

"Base station? What's that...?"

Gu Yuena took the communication bracelet. Although she could communicate with Xu Yang through the mark she left on him, she figured she might as well take it.

"You can think of it as a soul tool in the same series as the previous Thousand-Faced Illusion Demon, which I call Soul Beast Biomimicry."

"This base station utilizes the special properties of the Evil Eye, making use of the immense spiritual power inherent in the Evil Eye to create what I call a base station."

"The specific principle is that when you use this bracelet, it generates a mental signal. This signal is detected by the Evil Eye base station and then transmitted to the device you want to contact."

"So the two sides can communicate instantly. I still need to maintain and upgrade it later."

"Image transmission is not possible yet, probably because my soul-guiding array is not utilizing the Evil Eye's spiritual power sufficiently. After I update and maintain it, you will be able to communicate with me through this, which will be almost the same as talking face-to-face."

Di Ni'er rubbed her hair. She hadn't understood a single word of what Xu Yang had said, except for the name of a familiar soul beast—Evil Eye.

She still had a deep impression of the Evil Eye; she vividly remembered the time when the Evil Emperor came to her door and fought with Emperor Tian.

She had never seen Di Tian fight so hard before. Usually, when he sparred with Xiong Jun and Wan Yao Wang, Di Tian would win very easily.

"Xu Yang, is the Evil Eye you're talking about the same race that the Evil Eye Tyrant ruler belongs to?"

"yes……"

"I see. So, if we turned that Evil Eye Tyrant ruler into the base station you mentioned, to what extent could it go?"

Di Ni'er started having her wildly imaginative ideas again.

"Covering the entire Douluo Continent should not be a problem."

"If only we could kill that evil emperor. Not only did he injure Di Tian before, but he also tried to take me to some demon forest."

"Dead Evil Emperor, Bad Evil Emperor, eh? What does the Evil Emperor's 'brain' taste like?"

Even after transforming into human form, Di Ni'er still hasn't changed her love for eating the brains of spirit-type soul beasts. However, she now prefers cooked food and adds extra scallions and cilantro.

Di Ni'er's ramblings naturally did not escape the notice of those present, leaving them somewhat at a loss for words...

"Alright, stop thinking about your 'brain' now that we're in Mingdu, it's time to get down to business."

Xu Yang gently tapped Di Ni'er on the head, waking her from her reverie.

You hit me again!

"Just you wait, I'll definitely get my revenge later."

Di Ni'er started baring her teeth at Xu Yang again.

Xu Yang ignored Di Ni'er and instead discussed with Gu Yuena and Kong Deming where the spatial passage should be built.

After much discussion, they finally settled on a place that Kong Deming and Xu Yang considered safe enough.

……

The offering hall.

"This is it," Kong Deming pointed to the entrance of the ancestral hall, where he and his old buddies spend more than 90% of their time in retirement.

Therefore, this is the most suitable place that they have come up with.
