Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

When threatened, they will launch an attack directly. But precisely because of this, they are also easier to deceive.

Beside the campfire, Yan held two golden-armored forbidden insects, feeding them while trying to communicate with them and gain a deeper understanding of them.

Although they are still larvae, they already possess a certain level of intelligence. Even though they cannot speak yet, they can communicate through mental means. Once they enter the growth stage, they can immediately transform into human form.

Generally speaking, the level nine magical beasts in the Qin Emperor Universe are somewhat similar to some high-level 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Douluo Continent, and can transform into human form at any time.

However, since a level 10 divine beast can be associated with the word "divine," it naturally has its unique advantages, namely, it can transform into human form before reaching level 9.

This is the advantage of level 10 divine beasts, and also an important factor that distinguishes level 10 growth-type divine beasts from level 9 magical beasts.

At this moment, in Yan's arms, the two golden-armored forbidden insects were enjoying their food with great relish, letting Yan stroke their smooth and soft bodies, occasionally humming softly, seemingly quite satisfied.

After feeding the two little ones, Yan began to try to communicate with them. He did not use his mental power to probe, but instead used his soul power to gently massage one of them.

His "Eighteen Hands for Petting Cats" is a professional skill; even the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was defeated by this move. Moreover, it is not limited to a certain soul beast or divine beast, but is a unique set of techniques summarized and generalized. Now, it has quickly become effective when used on this Golden Armored Forbidden Insect.

He gently scratched the belly of a golden-armored insect with his finger, and the chubby little creature collapsed, stretching out two soft limbs like antennae and waving them rapidly. Then it made humming and chirping sounds, shook its head and wagged its tail, and its two pale golden eyes were filled with an expression of ecstasy.

Seeing this, another golden-armored forbidden insect seemed curious about Yan's methods and crawled over to expose its belly. Naturally, Yan then took action.

Before long, this one also looked like it was enjoying itself, gently swaying its soft and bouncy fat body.

"This is... Noxi's memory light..." Yan suddenly sensed something unusual within the steel dragon. With a thought, he activated it with his soul power, and a crystal ball appeared. It was the crystal ball that sealed the last memories and consciousness of the holy dragon Noxi. At this moment, it seemed to release images due to some kind of sensation.

...In the icy, snowy wilderness of the far north, two golden figures appeared between the cold rocks. Their bodies were shivering, not from the cold, but from fear.

These are two giant insects, each five meters long, covered in dazzling golden armor. Their round bodies look rather clumsy, and their large golden eyes are filled with panic.

One of the giant golden insects had a very large belly, and its eyes showed not only fear but also pain.

A resounding dragon roar echoed through the air, and a colossal dragon appeared in mid-air. Its entire body radiated a milky-white glow, covered in white scales, and rainbow-like elemental light emanated from its not-so-large body.

At this moment, a pair of dragon eyes filled with excitement and cruelty stared intently at the two golden giant insects below, and a huge energy aura had begun to gather around its body.

"Remnants of the Golden Armor lineage, today is the day your race is wiped out." This is the scene of the Holy Dragon Noxie destroying the Golden Armor Forbidden Insects. Those two five-meter-long Golden Armor Forbidden Insects are the parents of these two little guys.

In that battle, their parents died and Noxi was also injured, so he had to heal as soon as possible and therefore failed to discover the golden egg that had been secretly left behind.

After a long period of time, amidst a thunderclap, two mutated golden-armored forbidden insects, each with golden and silver patterns on their bodies, emerged from an egg. Although they looked very similar, there were still some differences, one with gold and the other with silver in the depths of their pupils.

It was probably this memory about Nox that resonated with the Golden Armored Forbidden Insects, or perhaps they learned that Yan had avenged their parents.

Just as Yan reached out to gently stroke them again, the two golden-armored forbidden insects opened their mouths at the same time and bit his left and right arms respectively.

Yan probably guessed something, and quickly retracted the pair of arm guards of his battle armor, allowing them to successfully bite his arms. His blood poured into the almost transparent bodies of the two golden-armored forbidden insects at a clearly visible speed.

Golden and silver light instantly spread to every part of their bodies, and with a flash of light, it entered Yan's body along his arm.

Two clearly visible golden and silver rays of light spread up his arm, entering his brain from the left and right, and the two strong mental imprints were closely combined with his mental power.

Yan's spiritual imprint split into three in that instant. Two of the weaker ones merged into his left and right arms, forming a strange triangular confrontation with the main spiritual imprint in his brain.

A powerful surge of soul power erupted from Yan's body, and his cultivation level instantly reached the level of the sixth level of the fifth ring perfection.

When the golden and silver light faded and everything returned to normal, the scars on Yan's arms had disappeared, but there were now two golden and silver lines on each arm.

This is the most domineering blood pact among the three ancient contracts of the Qin Emperor universe. Once signed, it is equivalent to becoming a slave who can never resist. Basically, no creature would sign it voluntarily.

However, Yan and the two golden-armored forbidden insects are a bit special, partly because they are still young and easy to fool.

Another key point is that the Holy Dragon Nox was destroyed by Yan. The Holy Dragon Nox had a blood feud with them, having killed their father and mother. Even before they were born, their consciousness was imprinted with intense hatred for Nox.

Knowing that Yan had avenged them, the two little ones, out of the deepest gratitude, decided to repay the favor with a blood pact.

"This time it went very smoothly. There's no point in staying in this far northern wilderness any longer. It's time to go back." By the warm campfire, Yan circulated his soul power to stabilize his cultivation and slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at the stars and moon in the sky, gently stroked the two golden-armored forbidden insects with both hands, and after sitting quietly for a night, he chose to leave. He left the far northern wilderness and the Dragon Qi Nus Continent. It was time to return to the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 273 Returning to Douluo Continent

On the continent of Longzinus, in the sky above the Dragon Realm, a beam of light streaked across the sky, flashing with strange brilliance before finally leaving behind a rainbow of light that slowly dissipated.

When Yan arrived at the depths of the Dragon Domain, he saw Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu each cutting down a Dragon Soul Tree and constantly designing and experimenting with their own battle armor.

"Teacher. Great Master." Yan left the steel dragon, and with a thought, the enormous steel dragon stood quietly to the side.

"Hongling, these two are the powerful figures of my Spirit Hall. Since you want to stay on the Dragon Continent to serve my Spirit Hall, then you should work hard from now on..." Beside Yan, the sharp-mouthed, monkey-like Hongling nodded and bowed repeatedly after hearing Yan's words. Yan's words also made Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong's gaze fall on Hongling. The latter's appearance, which was more like a magical beast, made them frown.

Yan continued, "Teacher, during my travels on the Dragon Continent, I gained some opportunities and have now broken through to level sixty. I am preparing to return to the Douluo Continent."

"So fast." Both Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong were startled by Yan's words. After subconsciously sensing it, they realized that what Yan said was true, but the latter's progress in cultivation was truly astonishing to them.

Generally speaking, unless it's an opportunity like a divine trial that allows one to rapidly improve their cultivation without damaging their foundation, this is only possible.

Most people's cultivation progress slows down as they progress. But Yan seems to defy this logic. He only broke through to Soul King a little over a year ago, and he's already Soul Emperor. At this rate of cultivation, it seems he'll break through to Soul Saint before he's even twenty.

This cultivation speed is even faster than that of Qian Renxue, who is undergoing the Divine Trial. It should be noted that Qian Renxue, with the blessing of the Divine Trial, has only recently broken through to level seventy, and she was almost twenty-one years old at the time.

"By chance, by chance..." Yan smiled and gave a perfunctory reply. Although Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong were people he could trust, the matter of the mutated golden armored forbidden insect was one of his trump cards, and he had no interest in mentioning it. He had even instructed Chi Jing Hong Ling not to talk about it.

After absorbing the gold, the Crimson Spirit's bloodline successfully evolved again, greatly enhancing its ability to sense rare mineral deposits. This ability is of great significance to a powerful force like the Spirit Hall.

However, it is unclear whether Hong Ling's ability is only effective in the Qin Emperor Universe or will remain effective in the Douluo Universe. Therefore, Yan does not plan to bring him back to the Douluo Continent for the time being, but instead has him stay on the Longqi Nus Continent to assist the Spirit Hall in developing its forces.

After all, the current situation in Douluo Continent is turbulent and unpredictable, which is not suitable for someone like Hong Ling, who is clearly an alien creature. It would easily cause targeting and panic, which would be detrimental to the image of the Spirit Hall.

Another reason is that the Douluo Continent doesn't have many mineral deposits. The Sun Moon Continent is probably the richest in mineral resources on Douluo Star, and it also has the most Soul Guidance Relics.

Therefore, ten thousand years later, the development of soul tools there will be the best. After returning to Douluo Continent this time, besides resolving his sixth soul ring and finishing up some other matters, Yan also plans to go to the Sun Moon Continent, partly for more knowledge about soul tools, and partly for the resources there.

On the Douluo Continent, due to the power of the Spirit Hall and the fact that the ferocious beasts and 100,000-year-old spirit beasts deep within the core of the Star Dou Great Forest have been dormant for nearly a thousand years, the power of mankind has expanded rapidly. Various rare spirit beasts have been hunted down, and there are very few spirit beasts suitable for Yan to use as spirit rings in the future.

In this situation, Yan could either make do and find some second-rate soul beasts, or search across the universe, but that would make it difficult to collect soul bones. Alternatively, he could go to other continents or oceans of Douluo Star.

In this era of Douluo Continent, the activity of spirit beasts is not as active. The number of 100,000-year spirit beasts is definitely more than that of 10,000 years later. Even Shrek Academy, that lousy institution, can have a group of guys with 100,000-year spirit rings in 10,000 years later. There is no reason why it cannot find suitable ones.

He hadn't looked for it before because he was busy and the transportation wasn't convenient, among other factors.

But now we have the Iron Dragon, a divine artifact that is both a combat weapon and the most perfect spaceship.

The Dragon Continent is much larger than the Douluo Continent, but it only takes him a few months to travel to and from the far north wilderness, which shows how fast the Steel Flying Dragon is.

So after returning this time, he plans to take a long trip to explore Douluo Star.

“I obtained some good things on the continent of Longqinus this time. Some of these treasures can be used at both ends of the Time-Space Gate, such as this.” Deep in the Dragon Domain, Yan began to construct a portal-shaped passage with some materials, and finally took out a purple crystal ball from his storage soul tool.

The crystal ball was about the size of a human head, perfectly round, crystal clear and flawless, with a purple halo flowing within it, making it extremely beautiful.

The elemental fluctuations contained within are exceptionally strong, almost overwhelming.

"What is this? A crystal ball containing the power of spacetime?" Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu had been watching his movements. Although they were among the strongest in Douluo Continent, in the realm of spacetime and soul guidance, Yan was truly the number one in Douluo Continent in this era.

At their level, they naturally explore things beyond Soul Master cultivation to broaden their knowledge. Therefore, they pay special attention to Yan Ping's behavior, especially in the creation of Soul Tools and various strange treasures. They usually observe and explore from the sidelines, and ask questions whenever they don't understand something.

Yan pointed to the steel dragon beside him. Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong looked in the direction he pointed and immediately noticed something different.

The steel dragon, which was originally just covered with various crystals, is now wrapped in a special purple color. The purple light on the dragon horns, which look like daggers, is restrained. The four dragon claws, covered in purple, look slightly ferocious. There are also two amethyst crystals in the position of the eyes on the dragon's head.

"This is a directional teleportation crystal that was extremely rare even in the ancient times of the Dragonia Continent. It can naturally absorb magical elements from the air to replenish itself, and through mental positioning, it can travel to any corner of the continent. When it is fully charged, one crystal can teleport about a hundred people." As Yan spoke, he embedded the amethyst sphere into the newly created soul guide portal. Accompanied by flashes of purple light and wisps of blue-silver light waves flowing, it established a stable link with the space-time gate on the Douluo Continent under Yan's control.

"Dragons love collecting all sorts of treasures, especially shiny things. Noxie, that old fellow, was no exception. He was active during the peak of the Dragonia Continent, when the number of powerful figures was at its highest, and when resources were also abundant," Yan explained to the two. "After his death, the legacy he left in the seven dragon cities was naturally divided among them. But he actually had some treasure troves scattered throughout the continent that only he knew about. I went to open a few this time and reaped a great harvest." Yan's harvest this time was indeed substantial. When he met Ye Yinzhu in the far north, he remembered the directional transmission amethyst. He vaguely remembered that the old man had a lot of it when he processed Noxie's memories, so he went to open some ancient treasure troves, and the harvest was naturally considerable.

Before returning, he upgraded the Steel Dragon with various precious materials such as gold and amethyst, most of which were metal, making the 'Steel' Dragon truly deserving of its name.

His previous Soul Guidance Battle Armor was perfect, but the mecha was mainly composed of Noxi's bones and some magical element energy crystals, so its strength was somewhat unsatisfactory. However, after this upgrade, the Soul Guidance Mecha has made up for its last shortcoming and its power has greatly increased.

Before the amethyst portal, Yan used his pure spiritual power to communicate with the directional teleportation crystal ball. Under his control, a beam of brilliant purple light shot out from the amethyst ball, flowing and leaving deep marks on the ground. Spatial magic elements seemed to be solidified and deeply contained within it.

As the spatial teleportation magic circle was activated, the soul guidance magic circle above the teleportation gate was also activated. The power of spacetime intertwined, and a magnificent purple light enveloped Yan and the steel dragon. Under the watchful eyes of Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and Hong Ling, Yan's figure slowly disappeared into the Dragon Domain.

...In the Five Elements Continent, in the extremely hot subterranean world, the Flame Queen, the ruler of the subterranean world, is controlling a strange magic array.

Fiery red energy continuously flowed into an egg. Just as she continued to circulate her divine power, she suddenly looked up, a hint of joy flashing across her pretty face.

"Blazing Flame, I'm here." Just as Blazing Flame paused his control over the magic array and turned around, he found himself in a tall embrace. The little brother he once knew had become a handsome young man, and the once noble and elegant empress was easily snatched into his arms and kissed on the lips.

"Mmm, sob sob..." After a long while, their lips parted, and Lieyan quietly leaned against Yan's chest, listening to him recount his experiences over the past few days. Occasionally, she would interject with a few words about her own longing. After pouring out their hearts to each other, they felt each other's warmth even more intimately.

After being bullied by her mischievous younger brother, Lieyan followed his bad advice and, without covering herself with the long dress that was originally made of lava, fell into his arms and let him do whatever he wanted.

"You're already level 60? That's fast." Her jade-like arms wrapped around Yan's waist, her face flushed as she enjoyed his mischievous actions. She was also a little surprised when she realized that his cultivation had advanced again, and a strange blush swept across her face.

"Soon what? Sister Flame, are you so eager to get married to your brother?" Yan teased, giving the Queen another kiss on her red lips, which made her blush. In this intimate game, the two completed the refinement of the Dark Flame Demon King's true flame spirit.

When Yan refined the fire spirit containing the ultimate Yin fire, the flame power within his body changed from leaning towards Yang fire to a balance of Yin and Yang fire. With the help of the raging flames, he comprehended a trace of the secret of Yin-Yang balance and fusion with the Chaos Fire.

As the two dark soul rings, tinged with a hint of blood-red light, rose into the air, Yan immediately felt his entire body brimming with power.

The refinement of the sixth spirit ring greatly enhanced Yan's body's capacity to withstand changes. The fifth and sixth spirit rings were already of the growth type, and now they naturally increased to the maximum age of spirit rings that Yan could accommodate, roughly exceeding 70,000 years.

The acquisition of these two spirit rings significantly improved Yan's strength, starting with his domain.

Originally, Yan's domain was mainly composed of Yang fire, which absorbed the excessive Yang energy between heaven and earth to amplify its power. It was naturally invincible during the day, but its power was weak at night.

With the Ultimate Yin Fire, he can also refine the power of the Yin-cold attribute flames, thus eliminating any weaknesses. Whether it is day or night, he is in his peak condition, making it almost impossible for him to be specifically countered.

Aside from the transformation of his domain, his soul power also improved significantly. After contracting two golden armored forbidden insects, his soul power quickly rose to level sixty, and after acquiring a soul ring, his cultivation level immediately reached level sixty-three.

He could sense that the energy within his body had not been fully refined. In fact, his soul power could have increased even further this time, but he suppressed it.

The improvement in cultivation during this period was, after all, due to opportunities and resources. Although the energy has been successfully refined, it is not yet at the level of complete mastery. It will take some time to settle down.

After Yan successfully advanced to the sixth-ring Soul Emperor, he talked with the Flame Queen for a while. The latter was completely focused on him and was naturally happy that he stayed with her.

But happy days are always fleeting, and eventually, farewells are necessary. As Yan's figure disappeared with the teleportation light, Lieyan's smile faded, and he turned away, wholeheartedly preparing another gift for someone: a dragon egg.

...In the council hall of the Spirit Hall, when Yan arrived again, he felt a sense of loss. After traveling for so long, he had finally returned.

And this time, he will surely stir up trouble once again on the Douluo Continent.

Chapter 274 Ning Rongrong's Departure

In the bustling central district of Tiandou City, a five-story building stands out. Even in Tiandou City, a five-story building is considered very tall. Moreover, many carriages passing by this building bear noble insignia, indicating that they are extremely distinguished.

The first impression this building gives is one of elegance and tranquility. The overall architectural style is somewhat rustic, and the plaque bears only two simple characters: Yuexuan (Moon Pavilion).

There weren't many pedestrians coming and going, but it was clear that those who entered and left were either dressed in fine clothes or had an excellent demeanor; both men and women were present.

This small building, named Yuexuan, is not well-known in Tiandou City, but it is extremely famous among the nobles. It is said that the owner of Yuexuan is an extremely noble lady who has a close relationship with the current Emperor Xueye.

The Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of the Heaven Dou Empire frequently visited this small building, and many children of noble families were also sent there to be taught court etiquette.

With its connection to royalty and its ability to teach court etiquette, Yuexuan was naturally highly sought after by nobles, and every class of students was of noble status.

The night view of Tiandou City has always been beautiful, which is largely due to its highly developed commerce. As the capital of the Tiandou Empire, only Xingluo City can rival it in the entire Douluo Continent.
