Douluo Continent: Awakening the Original Martial Soul at the Start

Chapter 128 The Way!

"Yes, this is a volcano. I have set up a magic array inside it using a soul tool. This array not only isolates the toxic gases in the volcano, but also continuously converts the power of the lava into pure fire-attribute soul power. It is most suitable for fire-attribute soul masters to cultivate. Your training for the next year will be here."

After saying that, Li Fei pointed a finger at Huo Wu's forehead. Huo Wu immediately felt a surge of information enter her mind, followed by a sharp pain. She couldn't help but clutch her head and squat down.

"This is……"

When the pain subsided, Huo Wu discovered that her mind contained a wealth of knowledge about cultivation, including methods for refining soul power, cultivating spiritual power, and most importantly, cultivation of her physical martial soul, as well as methods for cultivating the Naruto martial soul.

"A Soul Core?! This is the method to break through to the Title Douluo level!"

Sensing that final message, Huo Wu's face was filled with shock.

"From now on, you will cultivate here. Return to the sect once a week so I can examine your cultivation!" Li Fei instructed Huo Wu, pointing to the nine platforms on the rock wall.

"Understood, teacher!" Huo Wu nodded, then leaped onto the first platform. Instantly, a surge of intense heat flowed from her feet into her body, causing her soul power to circulate. Her face lit up with joy, and she quickly sat down cross-legged, beginning to purify her soul power according to the method taught by Li Fei.

This natural, simulated training ground is far superior to that within the Blazing Fire Academy. With such an environment, she firmly believes that she can steadily improve her cultivation while completely immersing herself in the training.

Seeing that Huo Wu had begun her cultivation, Li Fei stopped disturbing her, left the cave entrance, closed the gate, and flew towards the direction of the Haotian Sect.

Tents were everywhere, and teams of Haotian Sect disciples took turns patrolling to prevent any danger. Tang Hao was healing in one of the tents, while Tang San was using the Xuan Tian Gong to assist him and help him open up his meridians.

Li Fei arrived at the tent in an instant, without disturbing anyone, and quietly waited for Tang Hao to finish healing.

"My injuries have finally healed!"

With the help of Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Skill, Tang Hao finally recovered from all his injuries. Not only that, all the meridians in his body were also opened up, his soul power became purer, and he could mobilize it at a faster speed.

Upon opening his eyes, he saw Li Fei sitting in his tent and exclaimed in surprise, "Li Fei, when did you get here?!"

"Just arrived!" Li Fei smiled and continued, "I came here to ask you about the four major single-attribute clans. What's their current situation?!"

"Because of what happened back then, the four major clans have a very bad impression of the Haotian Sect and the Angel Temple. I made contact with the four clans after I came to Tiandou City, but they were only willing to serve me as their master, but they would never join the Haotian Sect or the Angel Temple." Tang Hao sighed and slowly said.

Tang San sat obediently to the side without saying a word.

Li Fei asked, "What about becoming a subordinate force of the Heaven Dou Empire?! It won't affect their continued loyalty to you; the treatment they receive from the Heaven Dou Empire will be beyond imagination!"

Tang Hao stared at Li Fei for a while before saying, "I can only introduce them to you; the final decision rests with their choices!"

"Alright!" Li Fei nodded. "I actually have another matter to discuss with you this time. I need to trouble Titan and you to come with me to Gengjin City. In order to secure future victory, I must also win over the Blacksmiths' Guild!"

"That's probably difficult. Lou Gao has a strange temper and he definitely won't agree!" Tang Hao asked in a deep voice.

"You don't need to worry about that. With your and Titan's help, I'll have my own way of getting Lou Gao to agree to the Blacksmith Association's affiliation with the Heaven Dou Empire!" Li Fei smiled. In the original story, Tang San was able to use the Zhuge Crossbow to get Lou Gao to join the Tang Sect. He could just take out the blueprints for the Soul Guidance Device, so he didn't believe Lou Gao wouldn't agree.

"Alright, I'll go discuss this with Titan and the others in a bit!" Tang Hao nodded.

"Here, take this. After you've discussed it with Titan and the others, input your soul power into it, and you'll be able to communicate with me!" Li Fei took out a communication bronze mirror from his storage bracelet and tossed it to Tang Hao.

"You're not coming with me!" Tang Hao looked at the bronze mirror in his hand with some confusion.

"To win over the Blacksmiths' Association, I need to make a trip to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and bring Ning Fengzhi along. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Martial Soul's treasure appraisal ability, I'll definitely need his help to find some rare metals and gems!"

"I see! Then let's hurry back!"

……

Using his newly developed teleportation ability, Li Fei quickly arrived at Qibao City and stood before the gates of the Qibao Glazed Tile School.

"Your Excellency Li Fei!" Upon seeing that it was Li Fei, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disciple guarding the gate immediately knelt down on one knee and said.

Li Fei nodded and walked into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Ning Fengzhi was in the main hall discussing the upcoming situation with Chen Xin and Gu Rong. As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he had a clear understanding of the situation on the continent and knew the position of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in this great war.

"Sect Master, His Majesty Li Fei has arrived!" A disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School said as he entered.

"Please come quickly!"

"yes!"

……

"Sect Master, why did Li Fei come back at this critical juncture? Could it be that something important has happened?!" Chen Xin asked with a puzzled look.

"It should be, otherwise he wouldn't have come in person!" Ning Fengzhi nodded and began to analyze, "However, even if it's a major event, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is capable of handling it. We need to plan carefully then!"

"Yes, that makes sense!" Gu Rong nodded.

At this moment, Li Fei also walked in, looked around, and got straight to the point: "Sect Leader Ning, I've come to ask for your help!"

"Please tell me what it is, and I will definitely help you accomplish it if I have the ability!" Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"I've come here to ask Sect Master Ning to come with me to Gengjin City. I need your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul to help me collect some precious gems and metals to bribe that guy Lou Gao!"

"I see. I am willing to follow Lord Li Fei to Gengjin City!" Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement without hesitation.

Thank you!

After the conversation ended, Li Fei waited at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for Tang Hao and the four major clans to negotiate.

"Lord Li Fei, I have a question that has been bothering me for a long time, and I hope to get your answer!" Ning Fengzhi looked at Li Fei for a while before saying with a troubled expression.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's expression, Li Fei vaguely guessed what he wanted to ask: "Go ahead and say it!"

Ning Fengzhi's expression instantly turned serious, and he said earnestly, "The current Xue Qinghe shouldn't be the real person, right?! The real Xue Qinghe should have died a long time ago!"

"really!"

Ning Fengzhi's question instantly confirmed Li Fei's guess, and he was also very shocked. He could guess that Xue Qinghe had a problem just by relying on the slightest clues. He really deserves to be the leader of a sect.

"That's right, Xue Qinghe died a long time ago!"

"Is the Xue Qinghe we know now the same person who fought Tang Hao in Sunset Forest? And what is her relationship with the Qian family?!" Ning Fengzhi pressed on again.

Li Fei asked with a smile, "Yes, she is the daughter of the former Pope Qian Xunji, and also my lover. I wonder if this answer satisfies Sect Leader Ning?"

"Satisfied. I just want to know who my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly relies on!" Ning Fengzhi said with a smile, feeling inexplicably relieved. Ever since he learned about Xue Qinghe's connection with the Angel Temple, he had felt uneasy. Now that he knew, he felt much more at ease.

At this moment, Tang Hao's steady voice came from the bronze mirror in Li Fei's hand.

"Li Fei, Titan has agreed, and the four major single-attribute sects have also agreed to submit to the Heaven Dou Empire!"

"Very well, Senior Tang Hao, let's meet at the entrance of Heaven Dou City later and head to Gengjin City together!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you!"

Putting away the bronze mirror, Li Fei looked at Ning Fengzhi and smiled, "Sect Leader Ning, let's go!"

After saying that, Li Fei placed his hands on Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin's shoulders, and the next second he disappeared from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and appeared at the gate of Heaven Dou City.

"This..." Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo looked at Li Fei in disbelief.

"This is a teleportation skill I created based on my understanding of space. However, the activation interval is too long, so it can only be used as a killing move!" Li Fei said with a regretful expression.

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

Chen Xin: "..."

The two were speechless. This was a divine skill; you can just comprehend it like that, and now you're lamenting it?

Ning Fengzhi asked in confusion, "Could this be a special ability of a Limit Douluo?!"

"No!" Li Fei shook his head and said, "My soul power is level ninety-seven, still a long way from level ninety-nine!"

"Level 97? How many years have you been cultivating?!" Chen Xin exclaimed in surprise. He had cultivated for half his life and was only at level 96. As a titled Douluo, he knew how difficult it was to cultivate to this level. After level 95, his martial soul would evolve once for each level increase, requiring more soul power than all the previous levels combined.

"I was able to cultivate to level 97 because my ninth spirit ring is from a million-year-old spirit beast. I absorbed its million-year-old essence to reach my current level!" After saying that, Li Fei revealed his nine spirit rings, eight red and one crimson gold.

The moment the crimson-gold spirit ring appeared, rings of crimson-gold spirit power erupted continuously, causing the entire Heaven Dou City to tremble. The violent power forced Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin to retreat continuously.

"A million-year soul ring!" Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin stared in disbelief at the crimson-gold soul ring. They had never heard of a million-year soul beast existing on this continent.

Sensing that his soul power was threatening the residents of Heaven Dou City, Li Fei immediately put away his soul rings and suppressed his soul power.

"Li Fei, there are actually million-year-old soul beasts on the continent! How did you defeat one?! A million-year-old soul beast is equivalent to a human reaching the level of a hundredth-level god, which is already god-level combat power. Even a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo should be no match for a million-year-old soul beast!" Chen Xin asked incredulously.

Li Fei, stroking his chin, said, "When I fought it, it had indeed completed its demigod body, but it was still one step away from becoming a god. It was only slightly stronger than a Limit Douluo. I used some special methods to barely kill it! As for the continent, there should be at least two million-year soul beasts, and quite a few 800,000-year and 700,000-year soul beasts, all in the Star Dou Great Forest, the far north, and the sea."

"Even a Limit Douluo is not someone that a level 90 can deal with!" Ning Fengzhi asked with a puzzled look.

"This comes down to the question of a person's character. Let's take Sword Douluo as an example!"

"Me!" Chen Xin pointed to himself in confusion.

"That's right! It's you, senior. Although I don't know what happened to you in the past, you placed too much emphasis on improving your soul power. It's not wrong to value soul power, but there's a problem if you value it too much. You even neglected your sword cultivation because of it. In fact, after reaching level ninety, cultivation is more about comprehending your own Dao. The more you comprehend, the faster your soul power will increase!"

Li Fei had already seen through Chen Xin's problem. In the original story, it was because his father, who was level 97, was easily killed by Qian Daoliu, who was level 99, that he overemphasized soul power when he became a Title Douluo. He only believed that brute force could overcome all laws and completely ignored the foundation of his cultivation - the way of the sword.

The reason he didn't experience any worldly desires was because his state of mind had reached a state of constant stillness and perfection, and his embryonic breathing had even reached the level of primordial breathing. His powerful mental strength was even able to directly draw upon the divine power of the divine realm for absorption and cultivation, so he didn't have to worry about the speed of cultivation at all. Therefore, he could concentrate on improving his realm and enhancing his understanding of the Dao.

Although he has not yet created his own Dao, his understanding of the Dao of Heaven and Earth has been increasing. At the same time, he is constantly exploring the divine treasures within his body and steadily improving his strength. The more he does this, the less Li Fei expects for a divine position than before. All he has left is the pursuit of the Dao.

"The Way, the Way of the Sword?!" Chen Xin gripped the Seven Kill Sword tightly in his hand, staring intently at it, and murmured to himself.

"When did I start to prioritize soul power and thus neglect my swordsmanship training?!"

As Chen Xin kept recalling his father's teachings from his childhood, a bitter smile appeared on his lips. His mindset had changed without him realizing it. Just like his name, his swordsmanship was more about the heart than about killing, as was the family's.

With a change in mindset, Chen Xin's previously lacking, unwavering spirit reappeared, and his already sharp aura became even more intense. His soul power surged, successfully breaking through from level 96 to level 97 as described in the original work.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Uncle Jian!" Ning Fengzhi's face immediately lit up with joy, and he exclaimed.

Chen Xin nodded, then looked at Li Fei with gratitude: "Li Fei, thank you so much. You reminded me of my original intention in practicing swordsmanship. If you ever need anything in the future, just come to me, Chen Xin. I will do my best to help!"

"Alright! I'll definitely come to you if I need anything!" Li Fei said with a smile. This time, he had completely won over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would all be grateful.

I'll try to update twice a day on my days off. The fact that the alliance with the Clear Sky Sect didn't kill Tang San might have disappointed some of you. I had already prepared material for this, but I still arranged it this way because there are too many stories like killing Tang San. Many people can guess what happens next, so it's really not interesting.

Yu Xiaogang is definitely going to die. As for Tang San, it depends on the situation. If you readers want to see more, we'll arrange it for you later.
