Douluo Continent: I Raise God-Level Soul Beasts

Just then, Hu Tao said again:

"Second, after being incorporated into the organization, all sects must abide by the rules of the Spirit Hall. However, those who violate the rules will be punished according to the rules. Sects with serious violations will be expelled and removed from the organization, while sects with extremely serious and egregious violations will be subject to humanitarian extermination."

"Third, our hall plans to hold a Youth Divine Rising Competition. We invite young talents from all forces to actively sign up and participate. In addition, our hall will simultaneously open the entrances and exits of the two worlds. You can enter and exit our hall's main world with your credentials and exchange skills with Soul Masters in specific locations. However, whether in the Douluo Continent world or the Dou Qi Continent world, you must abide by the Spirit Hall's rules of order."

"..."

These messages were like bombs, filling the powerful figures on the Dou Qi Continent with both fear and joy.

This is a situation where you are encouraged to develop, yet you are also restricted in your actions.

Accustomed to the rule of the strong and unbridled power, the major sects will find it difficult to adapt to this new rule in a short time. Even if it is implemented, it will likely encounter great resistance from within the sects.

But that's not a problem. As long as all the rioters are made idiots, the world will be at peace.

They were particularly interested in the Divine Rise Tournament, as the rewards were said to be very generous, including Imperial Pills and Imperial Weapons...

Next, Walnut began to announce the division of power:

"Because there are too many forces being incorporated this time, I will only announce the destinations of the first and second level forces, as well as some prominent forces in Zhongzhou. The destinations of other forces will be posted on the bulletin board later, and each force can check them themselves."

"The first level one power is..."

Chapter 181 Power Ranking; The Three-Year Agreement

"Dan Tower!"

"The Medicine Clan!"

"Ancient race!"

"Flower Sect!"

"Otoya!"

"..."

As soon as the name Danta was mentioned, everyone nodded in sudden understanding:

"It's not an exaggeration to say that the Pill Tower is the first level-one power. After all, it is the alchemist's guild, and it is because of the Pill Tower's alchemy competition that we have the current situation."

"The eight ancient clans are low-key and mysterious, and generally do not allow ordinary people to contact them, so they rarely cause trouble. The Medicine Clan, in particular, has intricate connections with the Pill Tower. Some of them become alchemists, while others become herbal experts and healers, helping the world with their medicine. Among the eight clans, the ancient clans are second only to the Soul Clan in terms of strength and foundation. Their members are also relatively reasonable and humble, so it is reasonable for them to be ranked as a first-level power."

"The Flower Sect is a first-class power on the continent. Moreover, it only recruits women and is different from other sects in terms of strong aggression. Instead, it is like a hermit sect. Incorporating it will also benefit the Spirit Hall in recruiting female cultivators and soul masters. It is understandable that it has become a first-class power."

"Yingu..."

When the name of the Yin Valley faction was mentioned, everyone fell silent.

The Sound Valley has always been mysterious. Although its sphere of influence is far smaller than that of the other two major valleys, Burning Flame Valley and Ice River Valley, no one dares to underestimate it. Anyone with a brain knows that a force comparable to Burning Flame Valley is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Yin Valley is even more mysterious than Hua Sect. It has always lived in seclusion and has never revealed itself to the outside world for many years. Even when Zhongzhou was in calamity, Yin Valley still chose to stay away from the world. In addition, it has been undisturbed for many years, making Yin Valley like a paradise on earth.

In such a place, some cultivators even speculate that the strength and foundation of the Sound Valley are probably even more terrifying than those of the Ancient Clan and the Soul Clan.

However, some people joked, "This Spirit Hall Master is a guy who knows how to enjoy life. He recruited those beauties from the Flower Sect who have alluring floral scents, and he also ranked the most beautiful woman from the Sound Sect, who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, as a first-class member. He's definitely a lecherous old man. He probably has at least eight or nine wives behind him, if not a hundred or eighty. Hahaha!"

Some people actually believed this.

After all, what's that saying again?

A true man's nature!

With tainted minds imagining tainted things, they naturally felt that even the Hall Master of the Spirit Hall was no exception.

Such a person would surely be able to lie drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman and wield power over the world when awake.

"Shh! I don't think so. I think the Spirit Hall Master is henpecked. Have you heard? The Spirit Hall Pope and he are a couple!"

"Last time, a Dou Zun-level expert used seductive arts to seduce the Palace Master into doing bad things. Do you know what happened after that?"

"What's wrong?"

"Criminal charge: Maliciously seducing a married woman, paraded through the streets in public."

"Goodness, but I'm more concerned about whether the bad thing was actually done."

"Well... that's not something I can know. If I were there, I could record it and show it to you!"

Finally, Hu Tao concluded the story of the first-tier power with these words:

"As shown above, this is the division of the first-level subordinate forces of the Spirit Hall. These forces will receive corresponding benefits. Please send a representative to the deacon behind me to collect them, or have the sect leader and the staff of the main hall of the Spirit Hall register and guide them."

Immediately, everyone looked at each other in surprise. Among the first-level forces announced by Hu Tao, there were many unknown sects and forces, but several top forces were not included!

This includes the Soul Palace!

It should be noted that the Soul Hall is universally recognized as one of the top-tier forces, but in the Spirit Hall's assessment, it is not even considered a first-level force!

At this moment, Hun Xuzi of the Soul Palace was also leading his clansmen to wait here. Hun Xuzi's face was not very good at this time, as if his father had died.

This is a disgrace to the Soul Palace.

The mighty Soul Clan not only condescended to accept being incorporated and abided by the rules of the Spirit Hall, but in the end, they weren't even ranked among the top-tier forces!

The whole continent is watching them make a fool of themselves!

They've always been the ones laughing at others, when did they become the ones being laughed at?!

However, what made the Soul Hall lose face was that not only did no first-level forces have a Soul Clan, but even second-level and third-level forces did not have a Soul Hall!

This led everyone to believe that the Spirit Hall's statisticians had made a mistake in the data and missed these top-tier forces. Even if the Spirit Hall's assessment standards were somewhat unconventional, it shouldn't have ranked these forces with Dou Sheng in charge as level three or lower, right?

That's a real joke!

Therefore, some people began to question the situation, naming various forces:

"Where is the Heavenly Nether Sect?"

"What about the Stone Clan?"

"Where is the Soul Palace?!"

Faced with the shouts of the crowd, Hu Tao smiled, as if she had been prepared. Suddenly, she released a super god ring, which shocked the entire audience.

At this moment, Hu Tao said calmly, "I have heard about your confusion and anticipated it. In response to your questions, I reiterate that the Spirit Hall's Level 5 forces are established based on the Spirit Hall's key personnel, taking into account their strength, membership composition, personality, daily behavior, and other comprehensive qualities, rather than strength as the sole criterion."

Hu Tao pursed her lips and said something very domineering: "In other words, if it's just about gaining your strength, then my palace has no need to recruit you; we could just wipe you out."

"After all, Dou Zong, Dou Zun, Dou Sheng? Heh, my Pope and Palace Master can train them at will, there's no need to recruit them."

These words, spoken out of nowhere, were like a thunderclap, leaving everyone speechless.

Can they casually cultivate Battle Saints? Just how deep and vast is the Spirit Hall's foundation?

However, the major powers understood, after all, the Lord of the Spirit Hall could make Emperor Pills with his bare hands, and in batches at a time. Not to mention Dou Sheng, they could easily cultivate even Dou Di.

The most lethal attack is the one that reduces the distance between dimensions.

"Regarding the major forces that confuse everyone the most, my palace will explain why they are not listed as the top three forces."

"The Stone Clan possesses powerful Dou Di bloodlines, enabling them to develop extremely terrifying physical bodies, comparable to some of the top magical beasts in the magical beast world. Their skin is grayish-white, and they have a giant stone emblem painted on their foreheads. Just like the ancient Titans of the Douluo Continent, they are straightforward but violent, and difficult to discipline. They require continuous education to become cultured giants before they can be upgraded. For now, they are classified as a fourth-level force."

"The Tianming Sect practices insidious and cruel techniques, often making enemies and committing acts of wiping out entire families. Most of its disciples have also committed crimes such as arson, murder, robbery, rape, and abduction. It is a sect with egregious circumstances and is therefore classified as a fifth-level force."

"Furthermore, if the Tianming Sect fails to rectify its actions and continues to commit evil and act arrogantly after my arrival, my sect will punish it. In cases of severe misconduct, it will be subject to humanitarian annihilation."

As Hu Tao spoke, the people from the Tianming Sect turned pale.

On the contrary, the forces within the Flower Sect were overjoyed. Over the years, the Heavenly Dark Sect had targeted them relentlessly, even abducting their beautiful disciples to cultivate as their own personal possessions, objects of their lust...

Some people also asked: "What kind of destruction is humanitarian destruction?"

Walnut smiled slightly:

"Humanitarian annihilation is the artificial end of life with the least amount of suffering."

"Currently, the most humane and efficient way for our palace to destroy is to drop a super firecracker. That firecracker can instantly destroy all life signs within a radius of a hundred miles, and the physical body will instantly turn into ashes. Everything happens in a fraction of a second. Your body can't even react to the pain before you're gone. Moreover, it's a large area. Even Dou Zun is no match for it and can't resist it."

There's actually a little story behind this super firecracker.

This super firecracker was actually made by Su Ze. It was originally intended to be set off twice during the Chinese New Year to add to the festive atmosphere.

Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong took out the small farmyard and set off a cannon outside, which caused the mountains and rivers to collapse and space to shatter, which was extremely terrifying.

Fortunately, its range was not very wide; otherwise, Douluo Star and the surrounding planets would have been destroyed, leaving only the You Ran Manor drifting alone in the starry sky.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, and they all made a decision in their hearts about whether to follow the rules and avoid doing bad things.

Never be the first to stick your neck out!

To avoid becoming a target of the Spirit Hall's special attention, that would be terrifying!

At this moment, Hu Tao mentioned a force that everyone was paying close attention to, but after being nominated, the people from the Soul Palace looked even worse.

I just listened to the evaluations of two level four and level five forces, and they were both not very good. In short, they were unworthy of their positions.

They know best what they usually do.

As expected, Hu Tao said, "The Soul Clan and the Soul Palace are arrogant and domineering, searching the entire continent for all kinds of souls. According to our palace's investigation, the Soul Clan's patriarch, Soul Emperor, has been plotting a huge conspiracy. He will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. In order to raise his strength to the Dou Di level, he is looking for a Dou Di-grade embryonic pill. He has a plan to use the lives of all the members of the eight ancient clans... namely the Medicine Clan, the Stone Clan, the Spirit Clan... and even more than half of the Soul Clan's own members as a price to help him break through to the Dou Di level."

These words left all the major powers present speechless, even the members of the Soul Clan were dumbfounded.

This is?

Really?

I doubt anyone would believe it.

But if it were before the Spirit Hall appeared, when becoming an emperor was almost impossible, would it have been worth doing this?

It's totally worth it!

Although most of the Soul Clan would die in the plan, a small number were still spared.

This small portion of the population, if Soul Emperor truly becomes an emperor, will activate the Dou Di bloodline within them, allowing them to cultivate at an astonishing pace. Their children could even break through to Dou Zun at the age of ten or so! It's not impossible for them to even reach Dou Sheng!

How can one resist such temptation?

Although it was understandable, the crowd was still furious.

Even if they are members of the Soul Clan themselves.

Because no one knows whether they are part of the Soul Emperor's plan to be sacrificed.

If one is also sacrificed, then what is the point of becoming an emperor if one cannot enjoy the fruits of imperial power?
