Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 134 The Gathering of the Holy Spirit Cult and Mirror Red Dust's Mysterious Gift

Seeing Lin Dong deep in thought, Electrox tentatively asked, "Hehe, little fellow, are you interested in my necromancy?"

Lin Dong snapped out of his daze, clasped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Elder Yi, and said in a deep voice, "Then thank you very much, Senior." He paused, then looked at Ice Emperor again and asked:

"By the way, Hyotei, if the souls of the deceased are not here, can this ritual still be completed?"

Seeing the strange look in Hyotei's eyes, Lin Dong simply spoke up:

"Actually, just as you think, I was never born into this world. The person I wanted to resurrect is also not here. The reason I didn't tell you before was firstly because there wasn't a suitable opportunity, and secondly because there would have been no point in telling you."

Seeing Lin Dong's frankness, Hyotei's eyes showed some interest, and she gestured towards the light and shadow of Electrolux:

"Isn't he an example? A wisp of remnant soul from another dimension. Tianmeng told me that it seemed to have come over when you were absorbing that Thunder Ancestral Symbol."

Therefore, it seems that some entities capable of triggering celestial phenomena might have a chance of attracting remnant souls from other planes; however, this is merely speculation.

After hearing Hyotei's explanation, Lin Dong fell into thought again:

It's unclear exactly where Huanhuan's soul is. Sigh, I hope it works out. If not, the only option left is to try and connect to another dimension.

Electrolux chuckled and picked up the conversation: "By the way, that god I just mentioned seems to have been up to something in the human world. I had a faint feeling about it back then."

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong's eyes flashed with surprise: "When? During our attack on Shrek Academy?"

"Yes, I had a feeling about it back then, but your schedule has been quite tight, so I only had the chance to bring it up now."

"Elder Yi, do you mean that old dog Xuanzi was saved by some kind of god?" Lin Dong asked, recalling the events.

Elder Yi nodded with a faint smile, then changed the subject and continued, "However, the divine power fluctuations emanating from that handsome young man whose gaze lingered on you were much stronger than those emanating from Xuanzi."

Lin Dong was not surprised when he heard this. He nodded calmly. At that time, he had suspected the person's identity and wondered why two Limit Douluos would take action to protect him.

Xue Di also told herself that if it weren't for the mysterious power of Shrek Academy, she wouldn't have been able to suppress the person who chased her that day.

It seems that the relationship between that god and Shrek Academy is not as simple as it appeared. The god doesn't seem to strictly adhere to the rule that the divine realm cannot interfere in the mortal world.

"I'm telling you this to remind you not to let impulse blind you. With your current strength, if you offend the gods, you might not survive."

Lin Dong nodded calmly. He understood the principle of forbearance better than anyone else; otherwise, he wouldn't have endured such humiliation from Lin Langtian.

He wouldn't act rashly without sufficient strength to seek revenge, which is why Lin Dong didn't leave any trace when they passed by the White Tiger Duke's mansion.

Seeing Lin Dong nod, Electrolux said no more. Although he wanted to persuade Lin Dong to let go of his hatred, he put himself in Lin Dong's shoes and knew that he would also find it difficult to forgive his enemy.

Anyone can be wise after the event, but in that split second, when emotions run high, how many people can truly forgive?

"Alright, since you already know, I won't say any more. During this time, while you are cultivating, I will explain the necromancy to you in detail."

"Yes, thank you for reminding me, Elder Yi."

Just as he finished speaking, a knock came at Lin Dong's door: "Lin Dong, are you there?"

Lin Dong got up and opened the door, seeing Meng Hongchen standing there. He pointed resentfully at someone next to her:

"Look, she said she wanted to apologize to you. She's been bothering me every day, so I had no choice but to come to you."

Lin Dong slightly turned his head, and when he saw the person's face, his face twitched violently, and he said angrily:

"Don't you have a face of your own?!"

Looking at the auspicious beast that looked exactly like Ling Qingzhu, Lin Dong was already somewhat exasperated by her naivety, while the auspicious beast innocently pouted and acted coquettishly:

"I'm sorry, I'm here to apologize. From your memories, I've only encountered a few very important humans. Yesterday's wasn't enough, today's isn't enough either, so what about this one?"

As they spoke, a burst of golden light erupted from "Ling Qingzhu" opposite them, and the next second, a large version of "Qingtan" appeared in front of them.

Meng Hongchen stared blankly at the scene before her, taking a half-step back nervously. Pointing at the auspicious beast, she asked, "Who are you? How can you change your appearance?"

Lin Dong's lips twitched, but seeing the auspicious beast in the shape of Qingtan looking aggrieved, he finally softened.

Judging from her tone, she only sensed Huanhuan and the others' appearances; she probably didn't uncover any other memories. Oh well, she doesn't seem to have any bad intentions. I wonder how things are going between Qingtan and Qingzhu.

Seeing Meng Hongchen's wary gaze, Lin Dong snapped out of his reverie and looked at her helplessly as he explained:

"She's that auspicious beast from the Starry Sky Forest that day. She doesn't know what form she should take. So, could you please get her a few comic books so she can change her appearance?"

After hearing his explanation, Meng Hongchen was taken aback for a moment, then said with a sour tone, "Oh."

"Your charm is truly immense. If the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest knew about this, they would probably go berserk."

Lin Dong didn't detect the jealousy in her tone and replied calmly, "That's not something I can decide either."

"Don't worry, they don't know I'm here. As long as I'm alive, they won't get angry," the Three-Eyed Golden Lion eagerly raised its hand to explain before Lin Dong could finish speaking.

Looking at her somewhat naive expression, Meng Hongchen was stunned. Wasn't this a royal auspicious beast? When did it become so soft and cute?

The auspicious beast didn't want to become like this, but ever since that incident in the Star Dou Great Forest, it instinctively felt suppressed by Lin Dong whenever it saw him angry. It even found it difficult to muster the thought of resistance.

Meng Hongchen shrugged and sighed in resignation, "Fine, you're a cultivation maniac, I'll clean up your mess."

Lin Dongqian smiled and thanked him, and was about to turn around and go back to his room to cultivate when Meng Hongchen called out to him:

"Grandpa and Teacher Xuan need to see you. Please go if you have time."

Lin Dong paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you."

When Lin Dong arrived at Xuan Ziwen's office, Jing Hongchen and Xuan Ziwen were already waiting. Upon seeing Lin Dong, Xuan Ziwen excitedly began to speak:

"Lin Dong, you're finally back! I won't keep anything from you anymore. You'd better tell me all about the more advanced fusion formations."

Jing Hongchen chuckled and added to Lin Dong, "That's right, you go first, and then I'll take you to see something good." Turning to Meng Hongchen, she asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Meng Hongchen glared at him speechlessly: "Grandpa! Am I your tool for relaying messages?"

"Alright, alright, let's go. Lin Dong and I have important business to attend to. You're such a rude girl."

Seeing Jing Hongchen's impatient look, Meng Hongchen glanced at Lin Dong, who had a smile on his face, and turned away with a hint of resentment.

After a brief introduction to the formation and recording the entire explanation using a recording device, Lin Dong, led by Jing Hongchen, arrived at the Mingde Hall, which was under reconstruction.

Looking at the unfinished Mingde Hall before him, Lin Dong asked in a daze:

"Dean, why did you bring me here?"

Jing Hongchen smiled mysteriously, walked towards a passage, and waved to the two Soul Douluo-level guards at the entrance. The two then turned and left.

Lin Dong followed Jing Hongchen into a space resembling an elevator. After a moment of dizziness, the two stepped out of the elevator.

A large, open, black metal door appeared before Lin Dong's eyes. Inside, it was a spacious laboratory.

Judging from the aura left behind, many of them must have just left, which must have been arranged in advance by Jing Hongchen.

The two stepped into the laboratory, which was very large. The circular laboratory was more than 100 meters in diameter and 30 meters high.

When Lin Dong saw the enormous thing in front of him, he was extremely shocked. It was a huge humanoid metal body, 15 meters tall, and its massive body was made entirely of metal.

Although it looks somewhat rudimentary, the overall structure is complete, with an open chest area containing a chair or similar item.

Lin Dong subconsciously used his mental detection to scan the area, and a moment later, a surge of intense shock welled up in his heart.

On this enormous metal figure, he discovered thousands of core magic arrays, and the precision of these arrays was something he had never heard of before.

More importantly, this giant metal man seems to contain an extremely terrifying energy, which is the metal itself. However, based on his general understanding of soul tools, he cannot see anything about it for the time being.

Seeing the rare look of surprise on Lin Dong's face, Jing Hongchen smiled smugly:

"Hehe, those Shrek idiots only destroyed Meijido's ground forces and some of its equipment, but the real core of Mingdekang's research is concentrated on this thing."

Those two hundred million gold soul coins are enough for us to recreate this thing. When it appears on the battlefield, the power it displays will definitely astound those fools from Shrek Academy!

Seeing his gloating expression, Lin Dong couldn't help but chuckle faintly.

"Have you already sent out that photo?"

Jing Hongchen smiled and nodded: "Of course, Shrek Academy and the original three kingdoms must be in an uproar by now. His Majesty will give you high praise for this matter."

However, I know you're busy cultivating, so I declined on your behalf. I've already kept all the reward pills, gold soul coins, and soul tools for you.

"The Dean understands me best. Empty titles and such are completely unimportant; the rewards are what truly matter." Lin Dong grinned, glanced at the giant metal figure, and spoke again:

"Did you call me over to look at this thing because you have something in mind?"

Jing Hongchen smiled mysteriously: "This is your greatest reward. I personally suggested to His Majesty that the piloting and control of Experiment Subject One be given as a reward for your outstanding performance in the competition and against Shrek Academy. Those pills and soul tools are insignificant compared to him!"

Hearing the arrogance in Jing Hongchen's words, Lin Dong knew that what was in front of him was probably the most advanced product of soul tool technology in the entire Douluo Continent.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

If I could really control this enormous metal giant, I could probably smash the Duke's mansion to smithereens with just a few punches.

"Good stuff! Thank you very much, Dean." Lin Dong smiled and continued:

"By the way, Dean, this thing looks so complicated, it probably isn't easy to control, right?"

Jing Hongchen then gave an awkward smile:

"That's right. Activating this requires an extremely large amount of soul power, and the requirements for mental strength are also quite demanding." He paused, then looked at Lin Dong and smiled:

"However, mental strength shouldn't be a problem for you, and physical and mental qualities shouldn't be an issue either. The only thing that needs to be addressed right now is your cultivation level."

To operate this thing, even with your physical abilities, you would need to reach at least the Soul Saint level. I have prepared various pills for you. Reaching Soul King in one year and Soul Saint in four years is definitely not a problem!

Of course you can rest assured that these pills and the resources prepared for you to enhance your strength will not damage your foundation, and you don't need to worry about your feud with Shrek Academy for the time being.

Although the enemy is strong, we are prepared. You don't need to worry about safety while you are in the Empire.

Next, I'll have Xuan Ziwen reduce the frequency of his visits to you. The academy has decided to focus all its resources on you alone, so just concentrate on your cultivation.

Lin Dong felt a surge of warmth in his heart after hearing this. Having grown accustomed to a life of constant danger, he hadn't expected that this feeling of not having to do anything but cultivate would be strangely quite comfortable...

Looking at Jing Hongchen, he cupped his hands and smiled: "Then thank you very much, academy. By the way, regarding the soul power issue, is it possible to also apply the fusion formation?"

"That...baby bottle? Could it be used to store soul power, and then use that soul power to control this giant? Would that lower the requirements for my cultivation level?"

Reminded by him, Jing Hongchen nodded with some surprise, but quickly sighed in distress:

"Theoretically, it's feasible, but making baby bottles is complicated, and the problem of soul power dissipation is very serious. We can't just stick baby bottles all over this big guy."

After hearing Jing Hongchen's explanation, Lin Dong shrugged and said indifferently:

"Then let's put this matter aside for now and talk about it after my cultivation level improves. I'll go back to cultivate now. Dean, I really like the gift you gave me..."

Jing Hongchen was taken aback by his sudden words, a hint of emotion welling up in her eyes. She nodded heavily, raised her hand as if to hit him, and laughed:

"You brat, you're still being so polite. With our relationship, do you really need to say things like that?"

Although his tone was ostensibly reproachful, it betrayed an undisguised joy. Lin Dong turned around with a faint smile:

"By the way, Dean, I'll leave the matter of calming down Xiao Hongchen to you. That guy is giving me a real headache when he starts causing trouble."

Watching his departing figure, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but click her tongue, then loudly reminded him:

"Knowing you like to hide things, I've prepared a secret room for you. It's extremely effective at blocking out sound and scent. I'll have Meng take you there later."

"it is good."

.........

A secret room in the Sun and Moon Empire.

Long Xiaoyao stood to the side, looking utterly humiliated, silently watching Ye Xishui, who spoke with a face full of anger:

"I've seen the recording from that day. I know you still have connections with Moon, but if you dare to ruin my plans, I will not let you get away with it!"

Seeing a hint of relaxation in her tone, Long Xiaoyao quickly smiled ingratiatingly and pledged his loyalty:

"Xi Shui, what are you saying? You're the only one in my heart. Don't worry, I will definitely help you complete your plan."

Ye Xishui snorted coldly, "You men's words can't be trusted at all!" Then, as if her anger had subsided, she asked in a slightly gentler tone:

"By the way, are all the people I asked you to prepare ready? If you still say no, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

A hint of struggle flashed in Long Xiaoyao's eyes as he looked at her tentatively and said:

"The preparations are complete... However, Xishui, is this method of using the power of an infant sacrifice to break that mysterious talisman...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Xishui rudely waved her hand to interrupt him:

"Alright, enough with the useless nonsense. We didn't kill those babies; they did all the dirty work. Have the elders all been assembled?"

Seeing that she had made up her mind, Long Xiaoyao said no more and nodded helplessly.

"Everything is ready. The elders from all over the country, Xiao Wu, and Feng Ling have all returned. I have instructed them to hide in the 'Altar' and await further instructions."

Ye Xishui frowned upon hearing the name "Xiao Wu," but she resisted the urge to reprimand him and coldly replied:

"Alright, give the order: have them all assemble at the altar. We'll make our move tonight!"
