Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

After Yan and his siblings were born, he carried the little one to the bag and put the golden one back in. The three little ones quickly mingled together and shared the remaining source of life.

The Source of Life is rich in abundant and easily absorbed life force, suitable for most living beings except for dead ones, and naturally has an excellent effect on these three little guys.

Yan stood beside the bag watching them eat, occasionally reaching out to touch the monkey's head. The round monkey head looked quite nice curled up, and Yan was very satisfied.

"Yan, you bad Yan, I have a letter for you." Just as Yan was playing with the three little ones, a voice suddenly came from outside. It was a childish voice with a hint of fear, but the person she was afraid of was not Yan.

Yan's eyes darted around, and he said with a grin, "Shoo-hoo, these three little ones have been born, they're so cute! Come and play with them, hurry up..." Bai Xiuxiu, outside the main hall, absolutely refused to go over, her voice slightly annoyed and hurried.

"No, no, come out quickly! You have a letter, it seems to be from Mingdu..."

"A letter from Mingdu. Didn't I tell you not to contact them for the time being?" Yan was puzzled when he heard that there was a letter from Mingdu, so he got up and went outside the main hall.

Bai Xiuxiu, who was flying using a soul tool, was now avoiding him as if he were a plague god. She only handed him the letter and then avoided him, which was completely different from her usual behavior of touching and rubbing against him. They were like two completely different people.

"It's just the aura of the Golden Behemoth. The Demon Soul Great White Shark only has a tiny bit of a connection with the Dragon Clan. Why are you so afraid?" Yan looked at the fat shark speechlessly, already thinking about whether to have a shark fin soup tomorrow. He took the letter and opened it. At first, he didn't pay much attention, but after reading the contents, his expression became quite serious.

"The Evil Eye Tyrant and the people from Sun and Moon City have started fighting. The royal ancestor is seriously injured, and the ancestor of the Red Dust Family died in battle to force the Evil Emperor to retreat. The east of Sun and Moon City has almost become a dead zone. This... this... is the Evil Emperor really that crazy...?" Yan never expected to receive such news. This intelligence from Mingdu was the follow-up to the events after he hid in the underground ruins that day.

Unable to find his child near the Demon Forest, the Evil Eye Tyrant, enraged, sought out Sun Moon City after his birth. Upon seeing so many powerful figures gathered there, he suspected they were guilty, leading to a conflict between the two sides.

The powerful figures from Sun and Moon City originally gathered because the royal family had failed twice in their attacks on Jingyang Mountain Range. After being misunderstood by the Evil Emperor, the human powerhouses were naturally unwilling to sit idly by and wait for their doom. The two sides, who could not agree on anything, directly started a great battle.

Ferocious beasts are known as walking natural disasters, and the Evil Eye Tyrant, as a top-tier ferocious beast, is even more so. When he fully unleashes his power, he can even destroy the entire Ming Capital.

However, the Sun Moon Empire was not to be underestimated, as it was able to establish itself in the center of the continent and develop into a regional hegemon. In the end, the empire's powerful figures joined forces, and the patriarch of the Red Dust Family sacrificed himself, rushing into the sky and detonating his martial soul.

A storm of toxins swept across the sky, and the Evil Emperor's old wounds were aggravated. In a moment of distraction, he was surrounded and attacked by many powerful human warriors, and was injured again.

Both sides suffered heavy losses this time. The Evil Emperor's injuries worsened, and he was forced to retreat from the Demon Forest. Humanity, on the other hand, lost a Title Douluo and dozens of at least Soul Saint level experts. Moreover, the event is not over yet; the soul beasts within the Demon Forest have already gathered, and a beast tide is about to erupt.

"Yan, it seems you've gotten yourself into trouble. What should we do? Should we stay here?" Bai Xiuxiu had also seen the contents of the letter. Having lived for quite a few years, she could naturally tell that the situation was not good, so she asked him what they should do next.

"No, we can't keep hiding forever. I thought the Evil Emperor would give up if he couldn't find him, but how come so many things have happened because of me?" Yan seemed a little frustrated. In the original story, ten thousand years later, Huo Gu killed the Evil Emperor's most beloved youngest son, a 100,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant with a mental ability. The Evil Emperor only launched a wave of attacks in a fit of rage and that was it, which was considered revenge for his son.

He had assumed it would be the same this time, but who would have thought things would turn out this way? Unbelievable… He pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

"We can't stay on this new continent any longer. Let's not establish a base for now and return to Douluo Continent immediately." After analyzing the situation, Yan decisively chose to return to Douluo Continent. Bai Xiuxiu was puzzled but didn't ask any questions. After packing his things, Yan left Jingyang Mountain Range with a shark and three little gorillas, temporarily bidding farewell to this brand new continent.

Chapter 311 Heading to Heaven Dou City

On the sea beside Poseidon Island, a huge, strange flying dragon slowly descended. A snow-white figure burst out from the dragon and plunged into the sea, then swam happily in the water.

The flying dragon mech in the sea emitted a purple light, and Yan's figure appeared on the sea surface, then gently landed on Bai Xiuxiu's back, who had just emerged from the sea.

Bai Xiuxiu had probably not been in the sea for a long time, and she frolicked in it with great enthusiasm.

"It's been so long since I've been back, I'm so happy!" Yan glanced at the thin white line appearing in the distance, and couldn't help but pat Bai Xiuxiu, who was playing.

"It seems your mom is coming."

"Ah, this... let's run!" Bai Xiuxiu paused after hearing his words, then turned and swam quickly towards the sea outside Seagod Island, not giving the great white shark of the Demon Soul a chance to get close.

Yan was almost pulled into the sea by her sudden movement. He barely managed to stand up by holding onto the fish fin on her back, and couldn't help but say, "Didn't you say you were going back to Seagod Island? You have to get through this. Why are you running away now?"

"I don't want to be dragged back by my mother; she's terrifying when she's angry." Bai Xiuxiu was like a child who had made a mistake, unwilling to face reality and not wanting to be caught by her parents.

"Forget it, forget it, I'll go out with you one more time. I'll go back to Seagod Island after she falls asleep." Bai Xiuxiu had no intention of going home at this point. Anyway, she had already seen her mother and let her know she was safe, so going out again wouldn't hurt!

What bad intentions could a little shark have? It just doesn't want to face its mother's anger and wants to wait until its mother goes into seclusion and falls asleep before coming back.

"Bai Xiuxiu, come back here..." Behind Yan, the anxious and angry voice of Xiao Bai, the master of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, came, but Bai Xiuxiu under his feet did not stop after hearing the voice. Instead, she swam away faster.

However, she was also carrying Yan, whose cultivation was clearly inferior to her mother's. Seeing that she was about to be caught, the little shark became somewhat anxious.

"Mother, please don't chase me anymore. I'm doing well. I just came back to let you know I'm going out again." Her words only made Xiaobai speed up. At this moment, the Lord of the Demon Soul Great White Shark was filled with anger.

The daughter he raised for tens of thousands of years ran away with a man, and she's been gone for over a year. That's bad enough, but after she came back, she didn't even exchange a few words with him before she was planning to run away again. What is she trying to do? This is outrageous!

The little shark was getting anxious and quickly asked Yan on its back for help.

"Brother Yan, Brother Yan, please help me hold my mother back for a while, I don't want her to take me back..."

"This isn't right," Yan said hesitantly, feeling that he had gone too far. Not only had he kidnapped someone's daughter, but now he was doing it again in front of her mother.

Bai Xiuxiu hurriedly said, "It's alright, I'll just be back a little later. I can stay with you for another ten years or so, and then go back after my mother goes into seclusion. We soul beasts have very long lifespans; ten years is just a short while." Yan felt that what she said made a lot of sense. If he remembered correctly, Bai Xiuxiu and Xiaobai would still be around tens of thousands of years later. Ten years or so really was nothing to them.

Beneath the sea, a demonic great white shark over twenty meters long swiftly approached Yan and Bai Xiuxiu like a sharp arrow. Yan, who had been watching the show, finally made his move. A flame bloomed in mid-air and then fell, crashing into the sea just as Xiao Bai was chasing after them. Instantly, a large area of ​​seawater froze at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"What kind of skill is this? It's amazing." As Bai Xiuxiu quickly escaped, she didn't forget to look back. She saw that more and more seawater was being frozen, and a large chunk of sea ice was floating in the seawater. Her mother, Xiaobai, was also trapped in it and became an ice sculpture.

"Hurry up and leave, my ice spell won't freeze your mother for long." Yan couldn't help but pat the playful little shark, which then flicked its tail and sped up, quickly disappearing from the sea.

"That damned human brat, he actually took Bai Xiuxiu away again. But that guy's strength... isn't he a fire attribute? Could he be hiding another attribute? This guy took my daughter away, could he be plotting something...? No, Bai Xiuxiu isn't a 100,000-year-old soul beast, and she can't complete the true sacrificial ritual..." Not long after Bai Xiuxiu and Yan left, the huge iceberg was shattered by waves of blue energy. The Demon Soul Great White Shark Master, Xiaobai, was filled with rage but couldn't vent it. She could only struggle against the iceberg. After completely dismantling the iceberg, she recalled Yan, and couldn't help but feel doubt and worry.

However, she also realized that she couldn't do anything about it on her own. She had no choice but to turn back to Poseidon Island and discuss with High Priest Poseidon that the Spirit Hall's abduction of her daughter could not be left unresolved.

"Yan, where are we going next, to Hanhai City?" In the rippling blue sea, Yan rode Little White away from Seagod Island at high speed. In the sea, riding the Demon Soul Great White Shark was actually faster.

Yan was afraid that the Evil Emperor would discover his whereabouts, so he used the Flying Dragon Mech to perform space jumps and rapid flight all the way. Although the speed was fast, the consumption was also quite large. When he arrived at the sea area of ​​Seagod Island, he actually had very little physical strength and soul power left.

Upon hearing Bai Xiuxiu's question, he pondered for a moment, then pointed towards the northeast.

“We’re heading north directly to Tiandou City. There are some things we couldn’t get our hands on before, but now I won’t hold back.”

"Okay, hold on tight. We should be on the mainland in about three days." Bai Xiuxiu was quite reliable when it came to getting things done. She had been living a life of comfort and ease by Yan's side for over a year, without really being able to help at all. She felt a little embarrassed, so of course she wanted to make a good impression now.

Between the blue sky and the azure sea, the Demon Soul Great White Shark rides the wind and waves, while Yan sits on Bai Xiuxiu's back, feeling the sea breeze and experiencing indescribable joy.

This time, he left Douluo Continent for more than a year, experienced the customs and culture of the new continent, and also gained many treasures. At this moment, in his flying dragon mecha, he is imprisoning a being that all soul beasts on the continent dream of: a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

His current cultivation level is very close to the seventh ring. It's time for him to consume that 50,000-year whale glue. Once he successfully refines the 100,000-year soul ring, his other two soul rings will also evolve accordingly. At that time, he will become even stronger.

The speed of the Demon Soul Great White Shark in the sea is indeed terrifying, especially Bai Xiuxiu, who is a member of the royal family second only to her mother, and naturally carries a powerful aura. After leaving the waters near Seagod Island, there are many more sea spirit beasts around.

However, after encountering Bai Xiuxiu, all the sea spirit beasts scattered and avoided her, fearing that they might anger this overlord of the sea.

With the sea breeze blowing, Bai Xiuxiu carried Yan at high speed for three days. The black horizon appeared in their sight. He had returned to the Douluo Continent after a long absence.

"Our current location is the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom in the northwest of the Heaven Dou Empire. They really don't know how to come up with a name. This is the Star Dou Great Forest, which is quite close. It should only take ten days at most. As for going to Heaven Dou City, it would take about twenty days by official road." Yan checked the map to confirm the location and couldn't help but complain about the place name. Häagen-Dazs Kingdom, if you didn't know better, you would think that this country was famous for producing ice cream.

This kingdom is located in the northwest of the Heaven Dou Empire, with part of its border bordering the Star Luo Empire. Traveling along the official road, traversing the entire Häagen-Dazs Kingdom, one can reach Heaven Dou City very quickly.

"Let's go. First, let's go to Häagen-Dazs City, the capital of the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom. When we get there, I'll treat you to a dessert with that name on it. I guarantee you'll love it," Yan said to Bai Xiuxiu. He was getting confused by the name Häagen-Dazs after saying it so many times, but luckily Bai Xiuxiu didn't know what Häagen-Dazs was or how to use it in a meme, which saved him from a social faux pas.

"Really? Then I want to eat more, more, a bigger portion..." Bai Xiuxiu had no objection to Yan's arrangement. As soon as she heard there was delicious food, she was full of energy and cheered happily.

Yan smiled at her cheers, and the two of them continued on their way, just like when they traveled from the Seaside City to the Sun Moon Empire. But the difference was that the Douluo Continent was not as chaotic as the New World.

Although the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall were not on good terms, it must be admitted that their ability to govern was still quite good.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall's power and influence are growing ever stronger, and all aspects of the Douluo Continent are developing in a better direction.

When Yan first joined the Spirit Hall, the previous Pope Qian Xunji had just died. Under the instigation of some ambitious people, the evil spirit master group, which had been heavily suppressed, was revived, causing some chaos. He was even attacked at that time.

However, on the Douluo Continent now, the Spirit Hall not only dominates the Spirit Master world, but its influence extends to all aspects. Not to mention evil Spirit Masters, even some irregular and unregistered Spirit Master forces and families are forcibly regulated, which has reduced many unstable factors on the continent.

After Yan led Bai Xiuxiu across most of the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom, they arrived at Häagen-Dazs City, the capital of the Häagen-Dazs Kingdom.

It was the height of summer, and the weather was scorching. Yan kept his promise to Bai Xiuxiu and treated her to ice cream, which made the little shark extremely happy.

They rested at Häagen-Dazs for three days. The little shark actually ate ice cream as its main food during those three days. Only a soul beast with a strong body could withstand such indulgence.

Yan stayed in the Martial Soul Main Hall of the Häagen-Dazs capital for three days, conveying a series of messages and orders before setting off again. With his reappearance, another storm inevitably swept across the entire Douluo Continent.

At this moment, the eyes of countless forces on the continent are focused on the carriage that left the Kingdom of Häagen-Dazs and headed to Tiandou City.

Everyone wanted to know what Yan's purpose was this time.

Chapter 312 The Fourth Prince's Avalanche

"Bishop Salas of Heaven Dou City greets His Highness the Holy Son." In the center of Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, in front of the Heaven Dou City Martial Soul Temple, Bishop Salas, the Platinum-ranked Bishop, led a group of temple experts to bow to the seemingly ordinary carriage in front of them.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Yan's figure appeared before everyone. He glanced at the Platinum Bishop Salas at the front and nodded.

"Bishop Salas, it's been a long time." Yan stepped down from the carriage, with a chubby little shark hanging on his shoulder. It was none other than Bai Xiuxiu, the Demon Soul Great White Shark who had followed him all the way.

"Your Highness, after His Holiness the Pope received news of your return, he dispatched Elders Ghost and Moon Pass to Heavenly Dou City, and also ordered me to summon the elders from Sunset Forest to guard the temple." Salas walked to Yan's side and lowered his voice to say, "For your safety, you still need to be careful these days."

"Both elders have arrived? I'm sorry to have troubled them to make this trip. But there's really no need to worry too much. I'm not the same person I used to be." Yan was slightly moved by Salas's words. After learning of his situation, Bibi Dong sent two great guardian elders to come, which definitely showed how much she valued his safety.

However, after his trip to the New World, Yan's current strength is such that, while he may not be invincible in the entire Douluo Continent, there are very few who can harm him, not including the people near Tiandou City.

After thinking for a moment, Yan spoke again, "Bishop Salas, there shouldn't be anything happening within the Heaven Dou Empire these days, right?" Bishop Salas thought for a moment and then said, "Your Highness, nothing major has happened in the Heaven Dou Empire while you were away. However, Tang Hao's illegitimate son has recently left the Barak Kingdom with the Shrek Academy group." Yan frowned upon hearing this news and then asked, "Tang San and Shrek Academy left the Barak Kingdom. Did they contact the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?" A hint of surprise flashed across Salas's face, and then he continued to report, "Your Highness, have you also received this news? It is said that members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team had contact with the Shrek Academy members at the Soto City Great Soul Arena, and with Qin Ming taking the lead, this cooperation between Shrek Academy and the Heaven Dou Royal Academy came about. It seems that those Shrek Academy members are going to be assigned to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's second team."

"Qin Ming is leading the effort? That's not surprising." Yan had been thinking about plot correction power, but after hearing Qin Ming's name, he seemed to realize something.

Qin Ming is one of the few geniuses who made a name for himself after graduating from Shrek Academy. Although he was defeated by Yan in one move when he was at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it does not mean that Qin Ming is not strong.

A Soul Emperor in his thirties is a rare find in any power. He has the potential to become a Title Douluo. If it weren't for the unreliable teachers at Shrek Academy, Qin Ming, with his mutated martial soul, might have already reached the pinnacle of his life.

Yan hesitated for a moment, then asked again, "Do you have detailed information about the battle between Shrek Academy and the people from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the Great Soul Arena? Tang San should have already obtained his third soul ring, right? What kind of soul beast is it, and what kind of abilities does it have?" Salas thought for a moment and then continued, "In his battle against Yu Tianheng from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Tang San displayed spider legs that resembled a beast-type martial soul."

"Spider legs, are you sure?" Yan, who had been planning to enter the Spirit Temple, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Salas, and after receiving confirmation, immediately turned back to the carriage.

"I'm going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to see Tang San."

"Holy Son, you—" Salas was puzzled by Yan's sudden action, but Yan insisted, and he had no choice but to accept it. However, he dared not let Yan go alone, so he quickly got into the carriage and arranged for a group of elite armored soldiers to escort him to the Royal Academy outside the city.

With the Spirit Hall's actions being so obvious, the royal family within Heaven Dou City naturally wouldn't be unaware. In fact, when Yan Fang entered the city, the elderly Emperor Xue Ye had already summoned Crown Prince Xue Qinghe to the palace to discuss matters.

During the year or so that Yan was missing, things were peaceful on the Spirit Hall's side, but the two great empires were not so peaceful.

To this day, no one in the high command of either of the two empires dares to underestimate this newly adult prince.

In just over a decade, since he succeeded as the Holy Son, the situation on the entire Douluo Continent has changed drastically. Emperor Xueye is well aware of how difficult this Holy Son is to deal with.

Every time he comes to Tiandou City, he causes quite a stir. I wonder what kind of waves he will stir up this time.

However, Emperor Xueye was nearing the end of his life and no longer had the energy he had in his prime. He now only wanted to smoothly transition power and did not want any unexpected setbacks.

...The Heaven Dou Royal Academy is located in a deep mountain outside Heaven Dou City. The academy covers a large area, but there are not many students.

Although the academy has the best resources and teachers in the Heaven Dou Empire, the poor quality of students directly renders most of the academy's efforts futile.

The Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, with "Royal" in its name, recruits students who are mostly related to royalty, possessing noble status or extraordinary backgrounds.

It's not that there aren't talented students from these families, but too many students get into the academy through connections, leading to a prevalence of bad habits and indirectly causing the entire academy to be less than ideal.

When the carriage guarded by the Spirit Hall's armored soldiers arrived at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they saw a well-dressed nobleman being helped into the carriage by his underlings while cursing and swearing, seemingly preparing to seek revenge.

"Hey! Isn't this the fourth son of Emperor Xueye, Prince Xue Beng? How could he be beaten like this? Have the people of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy gone mad?" Bishop Salas, who came with Yan, also looked outside. When he saw the young man, he was obviously surprised. He clearly did not expect that someone would be so bold as to dare to beat up this prince within the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Yan glanced at the departing avalanche figure, a smile playing on his lips.
