In Douluo Continent, Tang San raids my base right from the start.

Chapter 58 So, has this decision been made to give up?

Furthermore, it would be quite interesting for the Blue Silver Emperor to see Tang San's memories. Thinking this, Zhu Wu nodded, "Alright, I understand, you can go now."

Huh? Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was completely baffled, but still obediently did as she was told. "Okay!" She turned and left.

He's probably plotting something again. Could it be that Tang San? He thought to himself as he walked.

"Little Lion, let's continue the story from before," Zhu Wu said, turning his head.

"Okay, okay." The three-eyed golden lion nodded repeatedly.

About ten days later, the Demon King, having reached a conclusion with Zhu Wu, took his leave and headed alone to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Zhu Wu then entered seclusion, familiarizing himself with the new abilities he gained after his Martial Soul's evolution, while also focusing on comprehending his mental skills. Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who had previously participated in the discussions, was entrusted with an important task, serving as Zhu Wu's assistant and tester, helping him experiment with his mental skills.

What mental shock, mental interference, mental paralysis? Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's mental strength is formidable and it can withstand it completely. After all, Zhu Wu is only a Great Soul Master now.

The four beasts—the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Purple Princess, the Crimson King, and the Bear King—who had already consumed the immortal herbs, went into seclusion to familiarize themselves with their abilities.

A few days later, the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire appeared.

"Hmm?" Dugu Bo, who was taking medicine to detoxify, sensed the fluctuation of soul power, stood up abruptly, frowned and looked up.

A few breaths later, the Demon King, dressed in a green robe, slowly landed.

"May I ask who you are?" Having learned from Di Tian's example, Dugu Bo was much more obedient this time.

"I am the leader of the demon lineage of the Illusionary Beast Sect, ordered to guard this sacred land and also to cultivate here," the Demon King said calmly. "You can call me Elder Tree."

Another powerful figure you can't afford to offend. Dugu Bo was secretly alarmed, and respectfully cupped his hands, saying, "Dugu Bo greets senior."

The Demon King nodded slightly. "Our Beast Sect doesn't have as many formalities as the outside world. Please make yourself at home."

After saying that, he strode to an open space at the intersection, sat down, took out the Snow Swan Kiss, picked off a small piece and quickly put it in his mouth, closed his eyes to absorb it, and a faint green mist rose from his body.

"!!?" This thing is edible? Dugu Bo was shocked and instinctively took a few steps back.

He never dared to touch this herb before, feeling a sense of impending death every time he got close.

What kind of monsters are the people from the Beast Sect? Last time it was the leader of the Dragon Vein, and this time it's the Demon Vein.

"May I ask, are there any other pulses?" He really wanted to ask, but since they weren't close enough yet, he was a little hesitant.

This guy dares to eat such potent poison; he must be a master of poisons! If I could build a good relationship with him and get some pointers in the future, I would definitely benefit for life. Thinking this, he watched quietly for a while, then obediently walked to the boundary of the intersection area, sat down, and continued to expel the poison.

After a long while, the Demon King opened his eyes.

"Is there anything you need to tell me, senior?" Dugu Bo immediately approached.

The Demon King raised his head and said, "Dugu Bo, now that you have joined my Illusionary Beast Sect, it's time for you to know some things about the sect."

Then, following the script Zhu Wu had instructed, he began to recount the sect's history and its current situation.

Holy crap, the first generation of human descendants born from heaven and earth. Dugu Bo was increasingly shocked as he listened, feeling his worldview being completely shattered.

In particular, the Demon King mentioned that at the beginning of the world, during the great war between all races, the world collapsed, spiritual energy decreased sharply, the gods retreated, the human race was born, the Beast God descended to guide humanity and bestowed blessings, and some of the ancestors of the Illusionary Beast Sect cultivated to become Beast Gods and ascended. Subsequently, the spiritual energy of the world continued to decline, making it impossible to break through realms on their own by absorbing the spiritual energy of the world. They needed to absorb soul rings. Since then, no one in the sect has become a god.

The strongest person in the sect is now a demigod. The key point is that this demigod, whose physical body has reached godhood, is the dragon head he met once before.

Dugu Bo inexplicably felt his legs go weak.

Human beings' struggles for power and profit, their constant infighting, and their repeated wars have caused immense damage to the natural environment and accelerated the loss of spiritual energy. If this is indeed the case, then it's no wonder that the Beast Illusion Sect later chose to retreat into seclusion and became increasingly hostile and estranged from the outside world of humans.

I'm working myself to the bone to fix it, and you just ruin it all! Who wouldn't be furious in that situation?

So, is the best course of action now to lie down and quit?

You definitely can't ask that question, or you might get beaten up on the spot by the person in front of you in a fit of anger.

"That's just how humans are. Their desires are endless, and they never learn from their mistakes," the Demon King said with some annoyance. "My clan has also tried to guide the world, but each time the result is that there is only a few hundred years of peace at most, after which people's hearts are scattered and they fight endlessly again."

"Furthermore, the extravagant and competitive spirit brought in by the clansmen from the outside world once affected the stability of the sect. How can cultivation progress be made when everyone spends their time scheming and fighting? It's simply corrupting the sect's atmosphere!"

"I also deeply abhor such things!" Dugu Bo immediately stated his position.

No wonder he didn't explicitly enter the world to gain experience later on.

"Hmm." The Demon King nodded.

"From now on, if you see anyone wantonly destroying forests or indiscriminately killing soul beasts, do not be polite. Otherwise, whether the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is completely depleted or soul beasts become extinct, the profession of soul master will have to disappear."

"At that time, if a powerful enemy from outer space invades, the people of our world will likely become lambs to the slaughter."

"This matter concerns future generations, and I will certainly keep it in mind," Dugu Bo said solemnly.

The Demon King nodded. "Go do your own thing. Don't bother me unless it's important."

After saying that, he closed his eyes and began to cultivate.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and sat back down, his mind in turmoil, unable to calm down for a long time.

To advance beyond one's realm, one must integrate all one's soul rings into oneself. Doesn't this mean that anyone who reaches this realm is essentially activating the Clear Sky Sect's ultimate skill of exploding soul rings, and this state is maintained as a constant state?

Within the Beast Sect, besides the Dragon Vein, there are eight other veins: Fox, Snow, Evil, Healing, Demon, Scorpion, Bear, and Mastiff. Each vein's leader is beyond the realm of cultivation.

That's pretty awesome!

Apart from the Spirit Hall, whose strength is unknown and which is hidden in the dark, it seems that anyone on the mainland can be destroyed at will.

He only regretted that his Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul was not a mythical beast.

By the way, when are you going to give me some pointers on how to cultivate? After all, I'm a guest elder, aren't I?

When the young master of the Dragon Vein, Long Yingtian, enters the world for training, we must serve him well. Opportunities must be earned!

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed.

Late at night, in the misty area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest, on the treetops.

"Level 24." Zhu Wu slowly opened his eyes, and after a quick mental calculation, he realized that it had taken him 3 months to reach level 1. He spent 6 days in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and 6 days traveling back and forth, for a total delay of 12 days, which is equivalent to a little over 2 months to reach level 1. Not bad.

He could speed things up if he didn't study skills during the day, but he wasn't going to save time.

I jumped down from the treetop and went inside to continue telling the three-eyed golden lion historical stories. We cuddled together and fell asleep around dawn.

Nothing happened that night, and the next day, everything was as usual.

Until a month later.

"It's finally over!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm wailed, its head lolling to the side as it lay stiffly on the ground.

P.S.: Just a quick note during the free period; we can mention it briefly after it's officially released.
