Douluo Continent: The True Self of Martial Soul, Infinite Awakening

The heavy sandalwood doors of the main hall were slowly pushed open, and the biting mountain wind rushed in, but it could not dispel the burning passion in the hearts of these elders of the Body Sect.

Dozens of top-tier experts, who were influential in the outside world, were now emerging in twos and threes.

No one flew through the air; everyone descended the blue stone steps one by one.

They need to use this most primitive way of walking to calm the turbulent blood and qi in their bodies.

Elder Qian walked at the back, his withered fingers gripping the worn-out account book tightly, his nails digging deep into the pages.

As he stepped out of the doorway, he stopped and looked back at the thin, six-year-old boy in the center of the hall.

Without saying a word, Elder Qian simply straightened his slightly disheveled clothes with utmost seriousness, tucked the account book into his robes, and strode towards the sect's treasury.

He was about to make a huge sacrifice for the growth of his young sect leader.

The sandalwood door slammed shut behind Elder Qian.

The noise in the hall was instantly gone, leaving only the soft glow cast from the dome and the even breathing of the people inside.

Poison Undying leaned back in the obsidian main chair, his burly body completely relaxed.

He raised his hand and pulled open his collar, revealing a large expanse of his hard, iron-like chest, and exhaled a long breath.

"These old bastards, their eyes are practically glued to you two brats." Poisonous Undying's rough fingers tapped the armrest, making a dull thud.

He looked down at Ye Yuan, his eyes filled with undisguised pride.

"The first ring of ten thousand years, the ultimate light. Xiao Yuan, the foundation you've laid for the Body Sect this time is incredibly solid. What are your plans now?"

Ye Yuan stood in the center of the hall, his clear black and white eyes showing no trace of the pride he had just received from the flattery, only a calm as still water.

He extended his right hand, palm facing up.

A glint of golden light danced at her fingertips, scorching the surrounding air and creating subtle distortions.

"Strike while the iron is hot." Ye Yuan closed his five fingers, extinguishing the golden light. "I want to push my soul power to level 20 within six months."

Poison Undying paused his tapping motion on the armrest.

He sat up straight, his thick eyebrows slightly lowered, and his penetrating gaze swept over Ye Yuan's entire body.

With his level 98 cultivation, he could see through Ye Yuan's inner workings with just one glance.

"Level 15?" Poison Undying's voice was clearly surprised.

Logically speaking, when a soul beast absorbs a ten-thousand-year soul ring across levels, the vast, ocean-like energy within its body is enough to artificially elevate the soul power of a level ten soul warrior to an extremely exaggerated level.

It's not a fantasy that someone could level up ten times in a row and jump directly to the Great Soul Master level.

Moreover, after Ye Yuan awakened his martial soul, he underwent inhuman training on the Touching Heaven Stone for a full six months.

The accumulation of those six months had already filled my physical and mental foundation to the brim.

Having absorbed the energy of an 18,000-year-old alien soul beast, it ultimately only remained at level 15?

Ye Yuan met Poison Undying's probing gaze with composure.

"That 18,000-year-old alien flame is indeed enormous in size," Ye Yuan said, pointing to his heart.

"But it did not transform into a simple reserve of soul power."

He walked slowly toward the platform.

"Sect Master, the birth of ultimate attributes does not come out of thin air. When my source of light devoured and assimilated the flames of that Blazing Golden Crystal Hou, in order to break through that shackle and complete the final transformation into 'Ultimate Light,' it directly used most of its energy as fuel for evolution."

Ye Yuan recalled the terrifying feeling of compression within his body when he absorbed the soul ring, a feeling that burned away all impurities.

"It's like taking iron ore from a mountain, hammering and refining it countless times, and finally only forging one or two ounces of refined gold. My current soul power is only level fifteen, but the density and purity of this level fifteen soul power have reached an unbelievable level. There is no superficiality, no impurities."

The poison didn't kill him, he suddenly realized.

He reached out his large hand and grabbed Ye Yuan's shoulder.

The feel of it is no longer the hard rock it had six months ago, but rather a warm and understated resilience.

Stimulated by the soul force, the muscle fibers spontaneously generated an extremely terrifying counterforce.

"Great accumulation leads to a powerful burst of energy, extreme compression. Good lad, you're ruthless enough to push yourself." Poison Undying released his grip, his eyes full of admiration.

"With six months to spare, the sect will have an endless supply of spiritual herbs to feed you, making it more than enough to reach level 20. And what happens after you reach level 20?"

"Go and acquire the second spirit ring." Ye Yuan said without hesitation, his tone extremely firm.

"Acquire a dark attribute soul ring that is older, purer, and more powerful."

Huo Yuhao stood behind, listening quietly.

He clenched his fists and secretly resolved that he must also work hard to cultivate over the next six months, and he must not fall too far behind Brother Yuan.

"The Ultimate Light has taken shape; you've witnessed its domineering power." Ye Yuan stared directly into Poison Undying's eyes.

"The ultimate attribute of a single pole is the exploitation of the physical body. I must push the origin of darkness to the extreme of darkness as soon as possible. Only when light and darkness intersect, yin and yang complement each other, and a perfect internal cycle of continuous life is formed within my body, will my cultivation speed, physical strength, and mental resilience experience a true explosive explosion."

"Poison won't kill you," he nodded emphatically.

Having witnessed Ye Yuan's crazy yet incredibly rigorous cultivation logic, he now has no doubt about Ye Yuan's judgment.

"That makes sense. With the dual extremes of light and darkness, once this internal cycle is established, your body will be an inexhaustible furnace."

Poison Immortal rubbed his cheeks with both hands, his rough palms rubbing against the short beard on his chin.

"Whatever resources you need, just go to the warehouse and get them. If Old Qian dares to say a word more, I'll personally go and pluck his beard."

Ye Yuan nodded slightly, which was taken as an agreement.

But he didn't end the conversation there; instead, he changed the subject.

"Sect Master, my cultivation path is clear. But the most important thing for the Body Sect right now is not me."

Ye Yuan looked at Du Busi's taut jawline.

"As I said before, I can draw upon the power of destiny and use the will of this world to forcibly suppress the spatial tear that occurred when your second soul core was condensing within you."

Poison Undying suddenly raised his head, and a dazzling light burst forth from his eerie green eyes.

"But not yet." Ye Yuan met Poison Undying's gaze and poured a bucket of cold water over his head.

"The sect's fortune that I drew upon when I awakened, as well as the era's fortune carried by Yuhao, were indeed immense. But to forcefully elevate a level 98 Super Douluo to the altar of Limit Douluo, the sheer volume of that fortune is still a little short."

Even the protection of good fortune has its limits. Once good fortune reaches its limit, the laws of heaven and earth will retaliate, and Du Bu Si will face a hopeless situation with no chance of survival.

"We need more anchor points for destiny," Ye Yuan concluded.

Poison Immortal stood up, his tall figure casting a large shadow in the hall.

He paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.

"Where should we look?" Poisonous Immortal stopped and turned to look at Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan's mind quickly scanned the distribution of various forces during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era.

"The Douling Empire," Ye Yuan announced a place name.

Poison Undying raised an eyebrow slightly.

Ye Yuan continued, "Go to the vicinity of the Xuanming Sect and find an ordinary family surnamed Jiang. In their family, there is a girl named Jiang Nannan. She should be about three years older than me and Yuhao."

When Huo Yuhao heard the name from behind, although he didn't understand why Brother Yuan would go out of his way to find a girl he had never met before, he remained silent, being extremely sensible.

He knew that every decision Yuan Ge made had its own reasons.

Even if the poison doesn't kill, they're still completely baffled.

"Does this little girl possess the kind of luck you mentioned?" Poisonous Immortal asked bluntly.

"Yes." Ye Yuan didn't explain Jiang Nannan's future position among the Shrek Seven Devils, nor did he mention her ability to alter the course of events; he simply gave an absolutely affirmative answer.

"Moreover, the share is not small."

Du Bu Si stared at Ye Yuan for a while.

Having witnessed the birth of a million-year soul ring and ultimate attributes, Poison Undying had developed trust in Ye Yuan's almost prophetic decisiveness.

"Alright." Poison Immortal waved his hand decisively, without any hesitation.

"I will personally make the trip. If those turtles from the Xuanming Sect dare to be disrespectful, I will smash their shells to pieces. I will also bring this little girl and her family back to the main peak safely."

"Remember, be quick. Try to get there before the Xuanming Sect makes contact with her," Ye Yuan added.

Jiang Nannan's mother's serious illness is the Xuanming Sect's bargaining chip.

As long as the Body Sect intervenes in advance and heals her mother, this fortune and loyalty will be firmly bound to the Body Sect's chariot.

"You can rest assured when I handle things," Du Busi assured, patting his chest.

He walked back to Ye Yuan and Huo Yuhao, looking at these two young children who carried the future of the sect.

"You two's task is to cultivate like crazy for me. Those ten-thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum and hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast essences in the medicine storehouse—as long as your meridians can withstand it—eat as much as you want! The Body Sect may not have much else, but its foundation is solid; we'll grind you both up to the Title Douluo level!"

Poison Undying's tone was absolutely domineering and left no room for doubt.

Ye Yuan and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance, and then simultaneously bowed to Du Busi.

"I will certainly live up to the sect leader's high expectations."

"Alright, go back to your cultivation." Poison Immortal waved his hand, shooing the two out of the main hall like flies.

As he watched the two small figures disappear outside the sandalwood door, the sternness on Du Busi's face gradually faded.

Poison Undying stood alone on the empty high platform, his rough hands stroking his bald head back and forth, muttering to himself.

"Auspicious anchor points... these things are so elusive, they're damn hard to find."

He recalled Ye Yuan's words: to safely break through to the Limit Douluo level, is it really enough to just add a little girl named Jiang Nannan?

It concerns their lives and fortunes, and it's all for the sake of living longer and witnessing Ye Yuan's rise to power. They absolutely cannot allow any mishaps to occur until he is poisoned to death.

We need to find some safer supplements.

"When it comes to the convergence of fortune, where else on the Douluo Continent, besides those ancient sects with ten thousand-year-old traditions and that group of hypocrites from Shrek Academy, is the concentration highest?"

Poison Immortal's eyes gradually narrowed.

The center of power, the continuation of the dynasty.

"Royal family."

Poison-Free slapped his thigh, a thought flashing through his mind.

Two or three years ago, there was some commotion coming from the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The current emperor's beloved daughter suddenly awakened her original martial soul during the martial soul awakening ceremony.

Moreover, it is an extremely rare brain-based martial soul.

The rules of the Body Sect have always been domineering.

All Soul Masters across the continent who have awakened their Body Martial Soul, regardless of their origins—whether from humble backgrounds or royalty—must be placed under the Body Sect.

Upon learning of this news, the Body Sect immediately dispatched an envoy to the capital of the Heavenly Soul Empire to demand the release of the person.

As a result, the civil and military officials of the Heavenly Soul Empire came up with a set of high-sounding arguments.

They said the princess was too young and needed to stay in the palace for a few years to learn royal etiquette and solidify her physique before being sent to the main sect for further studies when she was older.

At the time, Du Busi was in seclusion, trying to break through a bottleneck. The elders thought they had to give the royal family some face, and the girl's martial spirit did need to be stabilized, so they reluctantly agreed and tacitly approved of the royal family's delaying tactics.

"Learn royal etiquette? Bah!" Poisonous Death spat on the ground without any politeness.

The best time to hone one's original martial soul is in these few years. To pamper it in a greenhouse like the royal family would be a waste of its potential!

Moreover, she is the legitimate princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The imperial fortune of the Heavenly Soul Empire that she possesses is an immeasurable and enormous wealth.

If we take this girl back to the sect and teach her carefully...

Firstly, the sect gained a highly promising spiritual talent;

Secondly, that royal fortune could naturally become an excellent bargaining chip for him to break through to the Limit Douluo level.

"That royal family has detained them for two years; it's time to stop."

Poison Undying had made up his mind, and the eerie green light in his eyes suddenly surged.

He did not convene the elders for further discussion.

If he goes alone, he can keep the commotion down a bit when it comes to kidnapping people.

If I were to bring those elders who thrive on chaos, I might just raze the Heavenly Soul Empire's palace to the ground.

make a prompt decision.

Poison Undying turned around and took a step forward.

Beyond the main peak, in the direction of the Heavenly Soul Empire's imperial city.

A terrifying figure, impossible to detect with the naked eye and carrying absolute will, was tearing through the clouds with an extremely ruthless manner, speeding away.
