Mythical Luo, starting with the fox spirit

"How can you just throw something so precious away like that?" Yang Wudi hurriedly caught the two-colored lotus seed and carefully put it into his soul tool.

"The Blue Silver Emperor bloodline isn't very useful either. If you want to gain a second martial soul by absorbing lotus seeds, at the very least, the overall quality of your first martial soul can't be inferior to that of the Blue Silver Emperor," Yang Ping'an said with a smile.

"This lotus seed records Tang San's cultivation techniques." Yang Ping'an channeled his magic power into the white lotus seed, then took out a jade slip and infused the lotus seed into it. After removing Tang San's soul aura, a white lotus flower mark was quickly outlined on the surface of the jade slip.

"Simply bring the jade slip close to your forehead to obtain the cultivation techniques within." Yang Ping'an removed some barbaric and extreme content, retaining the Mysterious Heaven Technique, Purple Demon Eye, Ghost Shadow Tracking, and Hundred Solutions to Hidden Weapons, among other content that aids in cultivation.

"I suspect that children with Soul Master talent can improve their innate Soul Power by practicing the Mysterious Heaven Technique before their Martial Soul awakens. This technique is also far more efficient than meditation methods on the continent, accelerating a Soul Master's cultivation. Other aspects can also enhance a Soul Master's combat power and enrich their survival methods," Yang Ping'an commented after scanning the technique.

The cultivation techniques here are inferior to ordinary Qi cultivation methods in the Fox Demon World, and have no effect on Yang Ping'an. However, they can still be considered top-tier cultivation methods in the Douluo Continent. Yang Ping'an then engraved a rough jade slip and gave it to Yang Wudi and Zhu Zhuqing respectively.

"Enhance innate soul power!" Yang Wudi was dumbfounded, his mouth agape in shock. He greatly approved of Yang Ping'an's act of giving Zhu Zhuqing a bamboo slip in return. Apart from a few rare and precious materials, and the personal intervention of deities, he had never heard of any cultivation technique that could enhance a soul master's talent.

"Such an important cultivation technique is just given to me like this?" Zhu Zhuqing took the jade slip and looked at Yang Ping'an in surprise, unable to believe that Yang Ping'an would give her such a precious technique.

"This is for you, and you must not easily pass it on." Yang Ping'an nodded to her. He always repaid kindness with kindness and evil with evil. Zhu Zhuqing captured Tang San and sought refuge with him, so Yang Ping'an naturally returned the favor by giving Zhu Zhuqing three martial arts techniques: Xuan Tian Gong, Ghost Shadow Bewilderment, and Purple Demon Eye.

Throughout Zhu Zhuqing's life, the God of Speed, she never heard Tang San explain the origins of his miraculous techniques, nor did she ever share them with the other Shrek Seven Devils. In contrast, Zhu Zhuqing was deeply moved by Yang Ping'an's trust.

"During this time, you and your sister Zhu Zhuyu can stay temporarily in the Po clan," Yang Ping'an instructed Zhu Zhuqing. Since he had accepted Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyu's refuge, he would protect the two sisters for a period of time.

"Thank you for your help, Yuan Shen. From now on, the Netherworld Cat lineage will follow your lead." Zhu Zhuqing solemnly bowed to Yang Ping'an and swore an oath to him.

"Alright, alright, Little Yang will arrange accommodations for the two young ladies!" Yang Wudi could see clearly that his grandson had subdued a person with top-notch talent and hard work, who might even become the God of Speed ​​as Yang Ping'an's subordinate god in the future.

Leaving aside the fact that Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyu escaped the quagmire of the Star Luo Empire, other forces on the continent also had their own agendas. Some opportunists secretly contacted the Martial Soul Empire, intending to switch sides.

The Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire suddenly announced the annexation of the Heaven Dou Empire into the Spirit Empire, voluntarily submitting to the Spirit Empire and accepting the rule of the Spirit Hall. Simultaneously with the announcement of submission, Xue Qinghe summoned the city lords of various towns throughout the Heaven Dou Empire for an audience, placing them under house arrest in Heaven Dou City. The Spirit Hall branches then took over the management of all towns and cities in the Heaven Dou Empire.

The ministers and military generals of the Heaven Dou Empire had already been turned against or replaced by the Spirit Empire, and the entire Heaven Dou Empire court supported Xue Qinghe's decision. Ordinary members of the court and army breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Xue Qinghe's order.

Ordinary people don't have complicated thoughts. As long as they're not forced to fight the Spirit Empire and die needlessly before the three gods, they naturally support Emperor Xue Qinghe's orders. For ordinary people, a change of dynasty simply means a different emperor. As long as there isn't a tyrannical and incompetent ruler, they can all survive.

Not to mention that the Spirit Hall, the predecessor of the Spirit Empire, has been helping commoners awaken their spirits for generations without charging any fees, giving ordinary people the opportunity to change their destiny and achieve great things. The Spirit Hall also provides subsidies to low-level spirit masters. Spirit masters below the Spirit Master level account for more than 75% of all spirit masters on the continent. These spirit masters are basically commoners and are the most grateful to the Spirit Hall.

The Martial Soul Empire has won over the hearts and minds of the people on the continent and gained the upper hand.

During the process of the Heaven Dou Empire's submission, some corrupt and stubborn noble forces attempted to stop it, but before they could even leave their cities, they were wiped out by the combined efforts of the local Spirit Hall branches. Although the process was somewhat turbulent, it did not cause any major disturbances due to the Spirit Empire's swift and decisive actions.

In a short time, the Heaven Dou Empire became history. After taking over the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Martial Soul Empire redeployed its battle lines, dispatching high-end combat forces to surround the Star Luo Empire layer by layer, gradually eroding the remaining territory of the Star Luo Empire.

The Star Luo Empire, unwilling to perish, abandoned all its outlying territories and assembled its army in Star Luo City, preparing for a decisive battle against the Martial Soul Empire. Suddenly, the continent was in turmoil, with powerful forces emerging from the land.

The autumn wind was bleak in September, and a desolate atmosphere permeated the world. The army of the Martial Soul Empire, dressed in golden and red armor, broke camp and set up camp. The army, like a tide, approached the outside of Star Luo City step by step.

The heavy footsteps of hundreds of thousands of people shook the earth, and the smoke from the army's march swept across the sky.

"Bang~ Boom!" Each booming sound pounded in the hearts of the Star Luo Legion. With each step the Martial Soul Empire army took, their hearts clenched violently.

The vanguard of the Star Luo army, looking at the endless enemy forces, turned pale, their hands trembling uncontrollably as they gripped their weapons. The Star Luo generals, gazing at the renowned Soul Saint opposite them, felt their hearts clench uncontrollably.

Dozens of Title Douluos flew intermittently above the Spirit Empire's army. Angel God Qian Renxue, Asura God Bibi Dong, and Primordial Spirit Yang Ping'an even released their divine domains, soaring high in the sky.

The sky seemed to have gained three great suns—golden, fiery gold, and blood red. Under the domain of the three gods, the Martial Soul Empire's army's energy, soul power, and spirit were greatly enhanced, and their morale soared.

On the other side, the Star Luo Empire's army was severely weakened within Yang Ping'an and Bibi Dong's divine domain. Their soul power was suppressed, their spirit was weakened, and the Star Luo Empire's soul master army could not exert 40% of their strength, resulting in low morale.

"Kill!" As the two sides drew near, the general of the Spirit Empire roared, and the surging army charged towards the enemy. The Soul Master Legion struck first, unleashing a barrage of dazzling Soul Skills upon the Star Luo Legion.

A great battle erupted, and smoke filled the air. The armies of the Spirit Empire and the Star Luo Empire clashed in close combat, and the battle reached a fever pitch. Within the domain of the Three Gods, the Spirit Empire was empowered, while the Star Luo Empire's fighting strength was weakened.
