Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

A slightly smaller abyssal creature retreated from the edge of the communication point, leaving that area to Ling Feng and Qian Renxue.

Ling Feng walked to the center of the contact point and felt that the ground beneath his feet was indeed more solid than the surrounding black gravel, with a stable feedback with each step.

Qian Renxue stood on the other side of the contact point, placed the Holy Sword horizontally in front of her, and looked at the dark red pillars of light that were moving slowly in the distance, as if she was checking whether the pillars of light were stable in her own way.

Jin Chen returned through the crack after nightfall, bringing back several pieces of processed ore and some metal fittings to aid in energy transmission.

Chapter 354 Contract Completed

He placed the items at the edge of the contact point and then walked to Ling Feng's side: "Gu Yuena said she would arrive at the contact point within three to five days."

If there are any changes to the contact point beforehand, she will send someone to notify them in advance.

Ling Feng nodded.

Jin Chen sat down next to him: "So what's next?"

Ling Feng said, "Wait."

He glanced at the dark red beams of light moving slowly in the distance: "Wait until the agreement is fully implemented, and until the liaison point is operating normally."

Jin Chen didn't ask any more questions.

The dark red beam of light in the distance was moving slowly, as if it were confirming in its own way that the boundary of the communication point had indeed stabilized.

The edge of the metal plate was reflecting a faint, dark red light, transforming from something that had just been placed down into a boundary that was being confirmed.

Ling Feng sat on the edge of the contact point and felt the aura at the edge of the crack becoming more stable, as if it were being recalibrated by a new structure.

He put down the Panlong Staff and turned to look at Qian Renxue: "Once the liaison point is built, the communication channel between the God Realm and the Abyss will be opened."

Qian Renxue nodded: "Then the rest depends on whether they are willing to take this path."

Ling Feng didn't reply. The dark red beam of light in the distance was slowly changing position, as if it was confirming in its own way that the contact point had indeed been marked on their map.

On the first night the contact point was established, the sky on the other side of the abyss was darker than during the day, but the dark red pillars of light did not lose their brightness. They moved slowly along their respective tracks, as if marking the boundary of the contact point in their own way.

Ling Feng sat on a rock at the edge of the contact point, his Dragon Staff resting horizontally on his lap, his gaze fixed on the moving pillars of light in the distance.

He could sense that the brightness of those beams of light was slowly adjusting, as if it were synchronizing with the establishment of the contact point.

Qian Renxue sat down beside him: "They are adapting to the existence of the communication point."

Ling Feng said, "For them, the contact point is both a new channel and a new uncertainty."

Jin Chen walked over from the other end of the contact point: "Gu Yuena has confirmed her departure time. She will arrive at the contact point in about three days."

She also mentioned something else—she saw new spots of light at the edge of the crack, spots that were more stable than any she had observed before, as if they were being held in place by some force.

Ling Feng's gaze shifted slightly: "A new spot of light?"

At the exact location of the crack's edge?

Jin Chen said, "It's located on the southwest side of the edge of the crack, about a mile from the contact point."

She said the points of light wouldn't affect the operation of the communication point, but they would alter the energy distribution at the edge of the crack.

Di Tian's voice came from the edge of the communication point: "I noticed it too."

Those points of light only started appearing after the communication point was built.

Ling Feng stood up: "Take me to see."

Qian Renxue stood up: "I'll go with you."

Jin Chen said, "I'll go too."

Di Tian led the way, walking southwest along the edge of the contact point for a while. After walking for a while, Di Tian stopped and pointed to a dark purple rock not far away: "Those lights are over there."

Ling Feng followed his gaze and indeed saw several tiny points of light moving slowly.

They are smaller than light beams, but their brightness is more stable.

Ling Feng stared at the points of light for a while: "Are they moving? Do they have a fixed trajectory?"

Or is it random?

Di Tian said, "What we are currently observing is that they are moving along a fixed path, as if they are being guided by some kind of force."

Ling Feng didn't reply immediately. He stood next to the dark purple rock, watching the points of light move slowly along a fixed path, as if confirming the location and boundaries of the contact point in his own way.

The frontline coordinator of the Seventh Legion of the Abyss arrived at the liaison point the next morning. He paused at the edge of the liaison point, his gaze sweeping over the slowly moving points of light, before turning to Ling Feng: "The higher-ups have approved the construction progress of the liaison point and confirmed that the points of light will maintain their current trajectory and will not interfere with the normal operation of the liaison point."

Ling Feng asked, "When can we begin to formally confirm the specific terms of the agreement?"

The coordinator said, "Tomorrow."

The higher authorities have dispatched a plenipotentiary representative who will arrive at the liaison point tomorrow for a formal meeting with you.

At that time, the specific terms of the agreement can be confirmed one by one.

After the coordinator left, Ling Feng stood at the edge of the liaison point, looking at the moving pillars of light in the distance: "Tomorrow, someone who can represent a higher will, the real decision-maker, will come."

Qian Renxue walked to his side: "Then we need to be prepared to deal with it."

If the conditions proposed by the other party exceed our expectations, we can adjust our position before the liaison point is fully established.

Ling Feng nodded: "Then be prepared."

The next morning, when the Abyss's plenipotentiary representative arrived at the liaison point, Ling Feng was already standing at the edge of the liaison point.

The plenipotentiary's body was more slender than the other abyssal creatures, and its carapace was covered with a uniform dark red coating, like metal that had been repeatedly polished.

It stood in the center of the liaison point, its gaze sweeping over the structure of the liaison point, and then spoke: "I am the plenipotentiary representative of the Seventh Legion of the Abyss, and I can sign the agreement on behalf of the Abyss."

I confirm that Articles 1 through 5 of the agreement can be executed as previously agreed.

Now, let's discuss the specific details of Articles Six and Seven.

The negotiations lasted all morning.

After the final draft of the agreement was completed, the plenipotentiary signed his name at the end of the agreement, then looked up at Ling Feng and said, "The agreement has been signed, and now we need to confirm the effective date."

Ling Feng picked up the finalized agreement and signed his name at the end: "Effective from today."

On the evening of the third day, when Gu Yuena arrived at the contact point, the agreement had already officially taken effect. Her figure emerged from the crack, draped in a layer of slowly receding silver-gold light.

She paused at the edge of the contact point, her gaze sweeping over the slowly operating structure: "You're moving faster than expected."

Ling Feng stood beside her: "The Abyss side is cooperating better than expected."

Gu Yuena didn't respond; she stood at the edge of the contact point for a while.

The brightness of the moving beams of light in the distance changed slightly after she arrived, but quickly returned to stability.

Jin Chen's voice came from the other end of the liaison point: "The liaison point is now officially operational."

"The first batch of information exchanged through the liaison points has been successfully transmitted."

Ling Feng said, "Then let's keep it running."

The contact point is merely a passageway; what truly needs to be established is on the other side of that passage, so that the abyss no longer needs war to find a way out.

He turned his head to look at Qian Renxue: "The rest can be done slowly."

Chapter 355 The Long-Awaited Peace

Qian Renxue nodded: "Then let's take it slow."

She stood there for a moment, then turned and walked toward the contact point.

Ling Feng stood there, watching her figure disappear into the slowly rotating light screen at the entrance of the contact point, without following her.

The distant beam of light was moving slowly, like sentences being carefully read in an opened letter.

He withdrew his gaze from the crack and turned to walk down the platform. Just then, a morning breeze blew in from the direction of the crack, carrying a slightly cool scent.

It was like a line of unfinished sentence leaking from a letter that had already been written, waiting for him to put the final period on it.

The beams of light were shifting positions more steadily than before, as if confirming in their own way that the boundary line had indeed been accepted by both parties and no further verification was needed.

Ling Feng stood on the steps of the offering hall. The morning light spread from the east, filtering through the branches and leaves of the old locust tree above the courtyard wall, casting dappled light and shadow on the bluestone slabs.

He was wearing a dark robe, and his dragon-patterned staff leaned against a pillar; he hadn't really used it in a long time.

He wasn't holding a cup of tea; he was simply standing in the morning light, watching the light and shadows slowly move across the ground.

Qian Renxue walked out from under the corridor, carrying a cup of tea. She placed the teacup on the stone table, and without calling him, walked to his side and followed his gaze: "The morning light is brighter today than it has been a few days ago."

Ling Feng said, "The light is penetrating faster from the other side of the crack."

The spiritual energy of the divine realm is flowing into Douluo Continent at a more stable rate.

Those young people will be fortunate enough to have better times ahead of them.

Qian Renxue didn't reply. She stood there for a while and felt the warmth of the morning light on the back of her hand, which was indeed warmer than a few days ago.

She didn't say anything more, but just watched with Ling Feng as the morning light flowed from the eaves through the treetops and slowly spread along the base of the wall.

Jin Chen finished his stance on the training ground. The Poseidon Trident gleamed with a damp light in the morning sun. He leaned the trident against the wooden frame by the side of the field, walked to the corridor, picked up the cup of tea, took a sip, and put it down again: "The kindergarten has expanded its enrollment again this year, with dozens more children than last year."

A few of the kids caused quite a commotion when they awakened their martial spirits.

Ling Feng said, "I've heard some news."

The Spirit Hall says that the number of children with innate full spirit power this year is 20% higher than last year.

After the rules changed, children with good innate qualities were indeed more easily sensed.

Jin Chen said, "Then this continent will only become more and more lively in the future."

Ning Rongrong peeked out from the side door of the offering hall, holding a tray with several plates of freshly made pastries on it: "Don't just stand there talking, have breakfast first."

She placed the tray on the stone table, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, took a bite, and then put it down. "Tang San came by this morning and said he opened a new blacksmith shop in the east of the city. He asked if you had time to go and take a look."

Ling Feng said, "We can go this afternoon."

Ning Rongrong nodded: "Then I'll have someone send a message back saying you'll arrive this afternoon."

Tang San's blacksmith shop was located in the middle of an alley in the east of the city. The shop was not large, and a newly made wooden plaque hung above the door, with the four characters "Sanmu Iron Shop" engraved on it.

The furnace in the shop was burning brightly. Tang San, wearing an apron, was taking a piece of iron that had been heated through the fire from the furnace, placing it on the anvil, holding the hammer, and striking it down. His movements were unhurried, and he stepped very steadily with each step.

Ah Yin sat on a low stool at the entrance of the shop, holding a book in her hands. Occasionally, she would look up at her reflection in the firelight inside the shop, then lower her head and continue reading.
