Douluo Continent II: Senior Sister, Please Help Me Cultivate

Chapter 372 After a Long Time

"Go back and tell Chen Feng that the Heavenly Soul Empire is under the protection of my Body Sect! It's not up to Shrek Academy to act arrogantly!" Poisonous Immortal looked at Elder Song and almost couldn't help but want to attack.

However, the throbbing pain from his wounds made him abandon the idea of ​​taking action.

In his previous battle with Chen Feng, Du Busi was severely injured and his injuries had not yet fully healed. Naturally, Du Busi was extremely wary of Chen Feng.

Although Du Bu Si was wary of Chen Feng, the Body Sect, as the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire, held a great deal of interests and power within the empire, second only to the royal family.

The fact that a top-tier power like Shrek Academy wanted to increase its influence and control over the Heavenly Soul Empire undoubtedly touched upon the interests of the Body Sect.

As the saying goes, "two tigers cannot share one mountain," and the relationship between the Body Sect and Shrek Academy is quite strained due to historical factors and the recent war.

Given the conflict of interests and past grievances, even if the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire agreed, the Body Sect would not allow Shrek Academy to interfere in the Heavenly Soul Empire's affairs.

Unless one day, the Body Sect is completely defeated or destroyed.

Old Song's aged face looked kind and approachable, but his eyes shone with a captivating brilliance.

Old Song stared directly at Du Bu Si, unleashing his ninety-seven points of soul power to protect the Shrek Academy students around him.

With Elder Song's protection, the Shrek Academy personnel, who had been sweating profusely and nearly pushed to the ground by the invincible poison, all recovered as usual.

Elder Song solemnly said, "Sect Master Poison, Shrek Academy is doing this for the sake of the stability of the continent. After all, there are too many villains who do evil in the three kingdoms of the continent. How can we, the teachers and students of Shrek Inner Academy, take care of them all?"

For every day those wicked nobles and Soul Masters live in the world, an innocent person will be harmed by them.

If the Three Kingdoms were to handle the misdeeds of Soul Masters and nobles in the mid-to-low-level inspection tasks, and then our Shrek Academy were to be responsible for supervision and confirmation.

Wouldn't this greatly improve efficiency? Those wicked criminals will no longer have a place to survive.

Wouldn't this be a blessing for all people? Please, sir, don't let your personal grudges with Shrek Academy harm the interests of the people of the mainland.

As the sect leader of the Body Sect, Du Busi prioritizes the interests of the Body Sect above all else. Shrek Academy's actions undoubtedly harm the interests of the Body Sect. One's position determines one's perspective, and no matter how nice Elder Song's words are, it's useless.

Poison Undying immediately retorted angrily, "Hmph, the mainland is peaceful? That's easy for you to say! Don't think I don't know what Shrek Academy is planning."

I think you're just trying to use this opportunity to expand your power! Stop trying to morally blackmail me. When has my Body Sect ever cared about those things?

"If you utter another word, don't blame me for not giving Chen Feng any face today and making sure you don't leave Heaven Dou City alive!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura transformed into a pillar of green light, overwhelming all directions. Under the impact of this aura, Elder Song involuntarily took three steps back.

Although Elder Song and Poison Immortal were only one level apart in their cultivation, once their soul power reached level ninety-five, the gap between each subsequent level grew increasingly larger; in fact, each level represented a new height.

Poison Undying and Old Song were locked in a fierce confrontation, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Looking at Poison Undying, Elder Song slowly said, "Sect Master Poison, the Sun Moon Empire is now eyeing us covetously. If the various factions on the continent cannot work together, the entire Douluo Continent will suffer."

Poison Undying snorted, "My Body Sect is the guardian sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire. With my Body Sect protecting the Heavenly Soul Empire, it has no need for your Shrek Academy."

"If those scum from the Sun Moon Empire dare to come, I will make sure they are pulverized and leave no trace of their bodies!"

Seeing the stalemate, Emperor Brady of the Heavenly Soul Empire quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Sect Master Poison, Elder Song, please calm down. This matter needs further consideration."

As the leader of the Body Sect, one of the top powers on the continent, Poison Undying was always the one to have the final say and was arrogant and self-willed within the sect.

Even the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire couldn't control his temper.

Poison Immortal shouted, "There's nothing to discuss! Shrek Academy shouldn't try to push their luck!"

Brady, the emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire, was immediately displeased. He had just spoken, and Poison Undy's behavior clearly undermined his dignity as emperor.

Brady thought to himself, "This poison won't kill me..."

Looking at Poison Immortal and His Majesty the Emperor of the Heavenly Soul Empire, Old Song sneered inwardly, then shouted at Poison Immortal, "Since that's the case, then I will go back and report the truth to the Pavilion Master, and see how the Pavilion Master decides to proceed."

After saying that, Old Song turned and left.

Brady watched as Old Song turned and left, then smiled and exchanged a few polite words with Poison Undy, saying a few kind words to appease him.

He then left the meeting room with his attendants and the Empress, returning to the palace.

Upon returning to the palace, Brady's previously smiling face immediately darkened.

It can be said that this was when he was truly himself; he always wore a mask when speaking to others.

As the ruler of a country and as emperor, Brady's thoughts were naturally different from those of Poison Undying.

Although he disagreed with Shrek Academy's proposal, he absolutely did not intend to reject it so forcefully.

We're all important people here, so let's sit down, have a drink, and then slowly discuss and negotiate.

Ultimately, you take a step back, I take a step back, and then we all come up with a solution that we can both accept, and then everyone is happy.

Politics is the art of compromise, and as emperor, he was naturally an expert in politics.

Such a firm rejection of Shrek Academy could easily offend them.

In his view, war was about to break out, and he could not afford to antagonize Shrek Academy under any circumstances.

Emperor Brady of the Heavenly Soul Empire sat on the dragon throne, gazing at the luxurious hall with a profound look in his eyes.

The Body Sect is a fine sword, but it's too sharp for him to handle.

He originally asked the Empress to summon the people from the Body Sect so that they could support him.

Then, they can gain an advantage when negotiating with Shrek Academy.

But who would have thought that Poison Undying would be so disrespectful, completely ruining his negotiations with Shrek Academy.

At this moment, Emperor Brady of the Heavenly Soul Empire coveted the power of the Body Sect, but he was also keenly aware of its uncontrollability.

As an emperor and a ruler, he instinctively rejected the uncontrollable nature of the Body Sect.

Brady sat upright on the dragon throne, deep in thought for a long time.

He then rose from the dragon throne. Although he was over forty, his still handsome face now carried the majesty of an emperor. Shrek Academy and the Body Sect… they're birds of a feather!

If war hadn't been imminent, he would have definitely joined forces with other countries on the Douluo Continent to suppress them, and would never have allowed the Body Sect to serve as the guardian sect of the nation.

Protecting the nation, protecting the nation; the Body Sect protects the Heavenly Soul. But with that single word "protect," who takes the lead and who takes the lead remains to be seen…

Emperor Brady of the Heavenly Soul Empire sighed, and then made a decision.

He wanted to bring in the power of Shrek Academy, so that the two giants, Body Sect and Shrek Academy, with their deep-seated grudges, could fight each other openly and covertly, and achieve a balance.

Then the royal family of his Heavenly Soul Empire acted as the referee, mediating disputes, helping those who respected him, suppressing troublemakers, supporting those at a disadvantage, and suppressing the powerful.

In short, the goal is to ensure that neither Shrek Academy nor Body Sect can do anything to the other, and that both Shrek Academy and Body Sect need the support of the Heavenly Soul Empire to gain more benefits than the other.

Only in this way could the royal family of the Heavenly Soul Empire possibly control the power of these two monsters to some extent.

Emperor Brady of the Heavenly Soul Empire felt his blood boiling, and a surge of ambition was brewing and growing in his chest.

If he succeeds, he might even surpass previous emperors and achieve great things.

If the power of the Body Sect and Shrek Academy could be utilized, it wouldn't be impossible to subdue the many sects within the Heavenly Soul Empire that possess Title Douluo and transform them into the Heavenly Soul Empire's power.

Brady knew that the Heavenly Soul Empire, as a country that had originally split off from the Heavenly Dou Empire, was not strong enough in itself.

Let alone comparing it to the Sun Moon Empire, even the neighboring Star Luo Empire is far stronger than his Heavenly Soul Empire.

Besides its own weakness, the biggest problem within the country is the proliferation of sects, with large sects running rampant.

Each major sect occupies a city, radiating influence over the surrounding areas. Within the spheres of influence of these major sects, the rule of the Heavenly Soul Empire is practically negligible; the sects have the final say.

These sects are undoubtedly parasites sucking the lifeblood of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Emperors throughout history have wanted to solve these problems, but they were powerless to do so; they lacked the necessary resources and were simply unable to muster the strength to rebuild.

Which emperor didn't dream of ruling the world and having all sides submit?

His generation, however, has a chance.

Brady had originally planned to arrange a marriage between his daughter Vina and the Body Sect, but upon seeing this, he immediately abandoned the idea.

If it's a marriage alliance, the bond will be too strong, and it will be difficult to break up any conflicts later.

Brady immediately shouted, "Someone, bring the Queen to see me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" the attendant outside the palace replied immediately.

After a while.

A woman of great grace and noble bearing pushed open the palace gates.

Inside the magnificent palace, the Queen slowly walked in.

She wore a magnificent phoenix robe, embroidered with lifelike golden phoenixes, and wore a dazzling phoenix crown, surrounded by pearls and jade.

Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall, accentuating her long and elegant neck. Her face was fair and beautiful, with a faint blush on her cheeks, like peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her slightly upturned eyes carried an innate air of authority, yet remained gentle. Her eyes were bright as stars, as calm as a clear lake.

Her high, straight nose, naturally red lips, and slightly upturned corners of her mouth always held a perfectly timed smile, making her both approachable and exuding the dignity of an empress.

The only flaw is that time has left its mark on her.

Although her skin was fair, it wasn't as firm and elastic as a young girl's, and there were some fine lines around her eyes, which were clearly visible to a powerful Soul Master.

This person is Princess Vina's mother. Vina perfectly inherited her mother's beauty, and even surpassed her mother in some ways. The only thing she can't match her mother in is her temperament and figure, but given time and as she grows older, she will surely surpass her mother completely.

The Queen bowed to Brady and said, "Your Majesty, what brings you to see me?"

Brady asked, "How is Na'er doing now?" As the emperor, he had nearly a hundred concubines, though not three thousand, and thus many children. He didn't have time to care about their growth.

The Empress said slowly, "Na'er's cultivation speed is very fast. Her soul power has now reached level fifty-nine, and she is not far from becoming a Soul Emperor."

Brady exclaimed in surprise, "Na'er is cultivating very quickly!"

Brady vaguely remembered that a few years ago, Vina's soul power had just broken through level 30, but now she was almost at the Soul Emperor level. Her cultivation speed was so fast that it was beyond his expectations.

Brady quickly frowned and asked, "Did Na'er add a spirit ring to her second martial soul?"

If one were to add spirit rings to their second martial soul, such cultivation would be quite reasonable. (In the original work, Vina added spirit rings to both of her martial souls simultaneously. Her second martial soul had six black spirit rings.)

The Empress shook her head and said, "No, Na'er did not attach a soul ring to her second martial soul."

Brady exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, you reached level fifty-nine solely through your own cultivation? I remember Na'er was only eighteen years old."

In that case, he'll definitely be able to break through to Soul Emperor before he turns twenty, and becoming a Super Douluo in the future is a possibility, or even higher.

A Soul Emperor at the age of twenty, with twin martial souls, Vina's talent is such that she is not suitable for marriage; such a marriage would be a waste.

The reserve of Super Douluo should naturally be kept and nurtured by our own family to serve as the foundation of the royal family in the future.

Brady said, "Since Na'er has such talent, I will send a titled Douluo-level elder to be her teacher and guide her."

The Empress smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Brady waved his hand dismissively, then asked, "Where are the Shrek Academy students now?"

As Vina's mother, the Queen is also quite talented, having now reached the level of a Soul Douluo. She is also Emperor Brady's assistant, helping him with miscellaneous tasks on a daily basis.

The Empress said, "The group from Shrek Academy didn't leave Heaven Dou City, but stayed at the Treasure Pavilion. Your Majesty, do you intend to...?"

Brady smiled and said, "The Queen understands me best. That's right, I plan to talk to the people from Shrek Academy."

The Empress frowned slightly, her beautiful brows furrowing with concern. "What about the Body Sect...?"

Brady scoffed, "If Shrek Academy wants to gain any benefits, then the Body Sect will naturally make them deal with it themselves."

--------

the other side.

Princess Xu Jiujiu of the Star Luo Empire arrived in Shrek City.
