Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 119 Heaven Dou Conference

In Tiandou City, many forces of the Tianhun Empire gathered together. However, apart from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Body School, the Imperial Academy, and the Tianhun Empire's royal family, most of the others were second- or even third-rate academies and forces.

After all, what Du Bu Si had previously requested was for the Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng to contact those forces within the Heavenly Soul Empire that had made some achievements in the research of soul tools.

Within the Heavenly Soul Empire, traditional sects and families naturally suppress and exclude the existence of soul tools.

Even the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family and the Imperial Academy, a royal academy closely related to the Heavenly Soul Empire, would not have been able to compete if it weren't for the Body Sect serving as the Heavenly Soul Empire's guardian sect.

And since they used the technology they had pried out from the low-level soul masters they had captured during the previous Body Sect operation, their understanding of soul tools was probably not very deep.

Therefore, it took Jin Peng a lot of effort to gather these people together. In addition, Du Busi's previous hands-off management had caused many conflicts within the already loose alliance.

However, with the Limit Douluo Du Bu Si in charge, all these conflicts have now completely disappeared.

In a conference room provided by the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire, most of the deans of these second- and third-rate academies did not leave their academies for the sake of secrecy.

However, each of them also sent their second-in-command from their academy, namely the vice dean, to Tiandou City to participate in this meeting.

As for the Imperial Academy, which is located in Tiandou City, their dean and vice dean came to attend the meeting together.

In addition to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School sending their young sect leader, the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family also sent their princess.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone sat quietly in their seats, waiting for the main character of the meeting, the original Douluo Du Busi, to arrive.

The seats at the front were naturally occupied by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family. Everyone knew that these three forces were the main protagonists of this meeting.

Rather than the other academies existing as mere supporting elements, they were more like vassals of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Since the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family obtained the group of Soul Masters captured by the Body Sect.

During this time, they never stopped their work. Within the Heavenly Soul Empire, almost all the academies capable of producing soul tools were visited by representatives from the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family.

Most of them were brought under their wing with various benefits and promises, and the result was the acceptance of members of the royal family to reside there, thus becoming part of the future soul tool production line of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

However, a small number of academies did not agree to allow members of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family to reside there. Faced with those academies that refused to listen to reason, they were gradually excluded from the core circle by the alliance.

At the same time, they were also blacklisted by the Heavenly Soul Empire. If war breaks out in the future, or if there is domestic turmoil, they will be the first to be targeted.

Although during this period, with the help of the knowledge gained from those Soul Masters, the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family has pieced together a set of theories that can be used for the mass production of basic Soul Tools and Soul Masters.

However, it has not yet been put into practical use, because apart from those academies that can be suppressed by the power of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family, there is another heavyweight member in the alliance besides the Body Sect.

That is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Naturally, it is impossible for them to be easily kicked out of the alliance. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has always had an ambiguous stance and is good at scheming.

It was not an easy task to keep it a secret from them and only distribute the soul tool production data to other academies, so this matter was postponed again and again.

Although this matter is somewhat troublesome, now that the Poisonous Undying is leading a meeting, it is likely that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will be able to give a clear answer by today, and the production of soul tools can proceed smoothly.

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." A tall, dark green-haired old man appeared at the head of the table.

None of them noticed when the other party appeared, although apart from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family, there were no other experts above the title level here.

However, the titled elder of the Heavenly Soul Empire who accompanied Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire only glanced at Poison Undying, and his keen perception filled him with a mixture of fear and dread.

The second elder of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School who had come with Ning Tian was the same. Like the titled elder of the Heavenly Soul Empire, he and the other titled Douluo could better understand how unfathomable Du Busi was at this moment.

They also knew that this was Poison Undying's deliberate act, in order to make them clearly recognize his strength and thus confirm that the rumored Limit Douluo was not just a rumor.

As for the deans of the other academies, their strongest level was only close to level 90 Soul Douluo, and their mental perception was far less sensitive than that of a Title Douluo.

Therefore, even though Du Busi slightly revealed his aura, to them, whether it was a Super Douluo or a Limit Douluo, they were all untouchable powerhouses. So they didn't feel much, and simply became more respectful.

Faced with the sudden appearance of Poison Immortal, everyone responded with great enthusiasm and positivity. After everyone's emotions had stabilized a bit, Poison Immortal began to get down to business.

"What? The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School only sent you, a little girl? Do you perhaps look down on the alliance with my Body Sect?"

Du Busi merely glanced at him without making any other move, and his aura remained largely unchanged. However, Ning Tian felt an immense pressure emanating from him.

However, Du Busi ultimately did not use any special methods. It was just that Ning Tian was too young, and the power of the Limit Douluo that Du Busi had released earlier still lingered, which made Ning Tian feel somewhat suppressed.

However, before attending the meeting, Ning Tian had practiced how to respond many times. Although most of the elders in the sect thought that they should remain neutral or stay away.

However, Ning Tian knew that to be a fence-sitter, one needed to have sufficient strength.

Otherwise, as a fence-sitter, one would often find oneself unable to please either side. Therefore, ten thousand years ago, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School firmly chose to follow Ning Rongrong and stood on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall.

They made the right bet, gaining glory for their sect and establishing the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's enduring reputation. This time, the existence of the Body Sect is undoubtedly as powerful as the Spirit Hall once was.

Since they want to unite the forces within the Heavenly Soul Empire, they are currently only targeting the various academies. However, once their foundation is stable, they will naturally not let go of the other sects.

Furthermore, with the backing of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family, if the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School were to maintain its so-called "neutrality," it would undoubtedly be seen as sowing discord between the two sides.

They might be concerned about saving face for a while and not openly attack the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, but the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is definitely not going to be able to withstand their underhanded tactics now.

Unless the entire sect relocates, leaving the Heavenly Soul Empire and settling in the Douling Empire, this is naturally something the incredibly wealthy Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can do.

But

"Senior Douluo, I am Ning Tian, ​​the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. My presence here represents the high regard that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School holds for you."

"As the young sect leader, everything I promised and said at this meeting can be considered as the message of the sect leader of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Although his face was still somewhat pale, Ning Tian clearly stated his position, and seeing this, he nodded in agreement that it was only natural that the poison would not kill him.

His gaze then fell upon the old man behind Ning Tian. Facing this second elder of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the pressure this titled expert was under was naturally much greater than that of Ning Tian.

The pressure emanating from Poison Undying, who was now a little more serious, was no longer as gentle as before, and immediately caused this titled expert to break out in a cold sweat.

The difference between a Limit Douluo and an ordinary low-level titled Douluo is like the difference between clouds and mud, and this is now being demonstrated to the fullest extent.

"Your Majesty, Body Douluo, rest assured. Everything the Young Sect Master said was approved by the Sect Master. This meeting will be entirely decided by the Young Sect Master, and I and the other elders of the sect will naturally follow his orders."

After finishing his speech in fits and starts, this titled Douluo, though filled with countless resentments, ultimately suppressed them all under the pressure of Du Bu Si.

"This...this True Form Douluo is truly going too far! I'll endure it!"

At this moment, Poison Immortal looked at Princess Vina beside him and nodded slightly. Princess Vina then stood up and continued to speak, taking over Poison Immortal's words.

"Now that you have all gathered here today, we should unite as one to prepare for the possible invasion by the Sun and Moon Empire."

"At the same time, everyone should be quite clear about the purpose of the alliance, which is to pool our strength to reform the soul tool production system of my Heavenly Soul Empire."

"In order to strengthen the people and army of my Heavenly Soul Empire and face the growing threat, Vina has prepared some information for you. Please read it carefully."

Everyone opened the materials distributed to them, and the more they read, the more alarmed they became, because most of them were analyses of the current soul tool technology of the Sun Moon Empire.

After obtaining the dragon egg, the Sun Moon Empire took the opportunity of studying the dragon crystal to improve the sealed milk bottle technology that it had previously researched but kept secret.

This further reduces the cost of sealed baby bottle technology, enabling the production of a large number of low- to mid-level soul power charging devices that can replace soul masters' power supply and are cost-effective.

The creation of these soul power charging devices enabled the mass production of low-level soul tools for trained soldiers, which were also developed by the Sun Moon Empire.

Is this true?

"I can't believe it."

"No way! If this happens, won't our original numerical advantage in Soul Masters among the three kingdoms of Douluo Continent be overtaken?"

The group silently flipped through the documents in front of them, as if they had various doubts.

If it is true, how did the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire learn of this information, which was kept secret by the Sun Moon Empire? And how did they know such details?

Even the structure of the soul power charging device and the style of the basic soul tools used by soldiers were listed in detail.

The more they looked, the more alarmed they became. However, since everyone had some understanding of soul tools, they could naturally tell that the credibility of the information in their hands was extremely high.

After everyone had put down the documents they were holding, Vina continued, "You should all have finished reading them by now."

"As I said before, such preparations are proof that the Sun Moon Empire's wolfish ambition to invade the three kingdoms that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent has never died."

"This intelligence was provided by Senior Body Douluo and his Body Sect disciples, and the Sun Moon Empire must have a countermeasure."

"However, with the help of this information, we can also get a glimpse into the true level of development of the Sun Moon Empire today."

Upon hearing this, most of the people already believed it, and now they started discussing it even more, though their opinions were all quite pessimistic.

Only Ning Tian, ​​Vina, and Du Busi on the throne remained unmoved.

After a moment, Ning Tian spoke: "Although the Sun Moon Empire's research on soul tools is truly astonishing, our Heavenly Soul Empire has a Limit Douluo like Senior Body Douluo overseeing it, and we also have a deep understanding of it."

"Even if the Sun Moon Empire wanted to launch an attack, it was by no means without the power to fight back."

At this moment, she stated the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's position, which meant that she was on the same side as the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Vina naturally took over the conversation, and after a long time, it was already quite late.

After the meeting, everyone dispersed and returned to their respective strongholds in Tiandou City, with another meeting scheduled for tomorrow.

Back at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's stronghold, the Second Elder was somewhat indignant: "Young Master, those vice-deans from the academies today are clearly on the same side as Princess Vina!"

"Their coordinated actions are clearly putting pressure on our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. And that Sect Master of the Body Sect is far too domineering!"

Ning Tian shook his head and said softly, "Second Elder, be careful with your words."

Looking at the Level 1 sealed soul guide charging device that Vina had given her at the end of the meeting, Ning Tian was quite clear-headed. She understood that this was an opportunity, an opportunity for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to shine once again.

At the same time, she naturally understood that many parties at today's meeting were pointing the finger at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, just to get them to give a clear statement, and she did just that, as they wished.

As for the Second Elder's opinion that the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family and the Body Sect had gone too far, and that Du Busi was too domineering, she understood that this was already quite a show of respect for their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Otherwise, if they really wanted to break off relations, relying on the power of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family and the Body Sect, they could undoubtedly swallow the entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect whole.

Even if Shrek Academy, which prides itself on justice, might hesitate to attack due to its relationship with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, what will the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School have left behind by then?

Does anyone still remember the Tang Sect, the former number one sect on the continent that was on good terms with Shrek Academy?
