Yuan Enhui clenched her fists, feeling restless, and her heart ached. Both her family and the Spirit Tower believed that the Demon Dimension should be eliminated forever.
Did her family hear those words too? And her time at the Spirit Pagoda was incredibly short, yet the Pagoda Master was willing to take on this responsibility...
After his mother passed away, his father was crippled, and he left his family, Yuan En Ye Hui, who had spent half his life wandering, felt the warmth of home again, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.
"I think you'd be more interested in something else than this."
Qian Gu Dongfeng walked to the window, gazed into the distance, and saw the ruins of Shrek reflected in his eyes.
"That direction... that's Shrek Academy. What kind of trouble are they causing now?" Qian Gu Xing Ci asked.
"This is just my guess, and it may have nothing to do with them." Qian Gu Dongfeng turned to look at the group. "Interestingly, recently a reclusive clan has chosen to emerge into the world."
A reclusive clan, which leads to thoughts of Shrek Academy... could it be...?
"Haotian Sect?" Qian Gu Xing Ci guessed.
Chapter 163 The Sudden Emergence of the Haotian Sect: A Strategy of Change and Consistency
Uncle Haotian Sect has been completely invisible for three seasons.
After using the Death Roll to intimidate all heroes in the Battle of Jialing Pass, Haotian Sect never showed its face during the Four Kingdoms War ten thousand years later and the Battle of the Abyss in the memories of the Thousand-Year Star Farewell.
Did the God King's father's single hammer blow max out the KPI?
"It was them, and the way they did it was...high-profile."
Clearly, the matter was suppressed by the bigwigs. The only way for the few people who returned from the Star Luo Continent to receive news from outside was through the news. They waited for Qian Gu Dong Feng to continue the story.
Qian Gu Dongfeng gave a wicked smile and said in a low voice, "Do you like reading history? Do you know what traditions the Clear Sky Sect has? A friendly reminder: the time period is limited to the Spirit Hall period."
The story will become an interactive classroom, and Leng Yaozhu patiently waits, watching her student Qian Guxingci's serious thinking.
The only noteworthy aspects of the Clear Sky Sect during the Spirit Hall era were its far superior number of Title Douluos compared to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the fact that it produced a god.
Qian Gu Xing Ci is somewhat numb; Uncle has become addicted to reading history, but he probably won't learn anything bad... probably.
The most legendary Haotian Douluo, Tang Chen, broke through to the Limit Douluo level without relying on divine trials, comparable to the first Sea God and Angel God who created their own godhood, and even overpowered Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Angel God...
The Haotian Douluo Hammer Angel was not an isolated case; a conjecture surfaced in Qian Gu Xing Ci's mind...
No way...
"Could it be that the Haotian Sect announced its birth by branding itself with the name of the Angel Music Family?"
"Congratulations, your answer is completely correct!" Qian Gu Dongfeng looked at his nephew, who had some of his wisdom, with a look of satisfaction. "Tang Zhen, who calls himself the sect master of Haotian Sect and is the current Haotian Douluo, fought with Angel Douluo Le Zheng'en."
Having lived in seclusion for many years and existing only in historical legends, the Haotian Sect piqued Leng Yaozhu's interest. She parted her red lips slightly and asked, "And the result?"
Although the Clear Sky Sect once held the reputation of being the number one sect in the world, that title now belongs to the Tang Sect. The Clear Sky Hammer is far less powerful among weapon spirits; the Tang Sect's twin swords, the Qian Gu Clan's Panlong Staff, and the Qingtian Yuetian Twin Spears all surpass it. Leng Yaozhu is not optimistic about the Clear Sky Sect's choice.
Qian Gu Dong Feng said calmly, "That Haotian Douluo's strength is only level 98. Although Elder Le is old, his Limit Douluo cultivation is not just for show. Angel Douluo is still superior."
"Didn't the Great Sumeru Hammer and the Nine Absolute Techniques of Haotian Sect come in handy?"
The divine skill was indeed shameless. Even though Tang Zhen was only level 98, Qian Gu Xing Ci did not think he had no chance of winning.
During the Battle of Jialing Pass, Tang Hao's simultaneous use of nine rings could even unleash god-like power.
"This is my biggest question. According to the Angel Family, Tang Zhen's body was on the verge of collapse after he blew seven rings in a row, while Angel Douluo stabilized his advantage by using his four-word battle armor."
In a normal Soul Master duel, a battle armor with no side effects would be the primary target. Does Tang Zhen not possess battle armor, or does he disdain wearing it?
Qian Gu Dong Feng turned on the projector and displayed the information he had collected, while continuing, "There are many suspicious points about the Clear Sky Sect. In the ten thousand years of history of the continent, there has never been anyone with the Clear Sky Hammer as their martial soul who has traveled and trained, and the same is true for the students of Shrek Academy. Let's just assume that they have been hiding from the world thoroughly enough."
The Spirit Pagoda is also a likely source of contact with the Clear Sky Sect. Soul spirits are an indispensable resource for every soul master, but there are no records of them either.
Our Qian Gu family chose to join the Spirit Transfer Tower because we believe that spirits and spirit beasts are different, and that remaining hidden would be detrimental to our development.
In the era of hunting soul beasts, one could obtain a soul ring that was incredibly close to the limit simply by having the protection of an elder. Soul spirits, on the other hand, were exclusive contracts with the Spirit Pagoda and could not be obtained simply by having the strength to do so.
Sensing the gaze from Qian Gu Xing Ci, Leng Yao Zhu understood and said, "Our Leng family's history isn't that long. It was only a thousand years after the Spirit Pagoda was born that the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Soul appeared. However, there is one thing in common: the families that join the Spirit Pagoda are all for the priority of the soul spirit."
"I can still make up for the soul aspect. Lingbing Douluo's wife, Longdie Douluo, came from the Haotian Sect. Perhaps she left behind the soul contract method for the Haotian Sect and obtained enough resources for them to cultivate for so long when attacking the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Finally, there's the battle armor. The Hongchen family was involved in the entire process of developing the forging level. I made a small deal with Wu Hongchen and checked the Hongchen family's information. Combined with the information from the Divine Craftsman, there was no record of the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul."
For a top-tier sect to be able to stably support itself, a master blacksmith of the Saint-level is an extremely important link. A master blacksmith cannot be unknown; otherwise, the Clear Sky Sect might become stagnant and closed off, just like the Douluo Three Kingdoms ten thousand years ago.
Records indicate that the Haotian Sect greatly assisted the Tang Clan in developing hidden weapons, and it's undeniable that they explored alternative methods. However, considering Tang Zhen's situation, I'm more inclined to believe that the Haotian Sect did not research battle armor.
Was it to prove these speculations? Qian Gu Xing Ci finally understood why his uncle had allowed Kong Ri to travel around the Star Luo Continent wearing the Spirit Pagoda's skin.
"The Qian Gu family has three members with extreme abilities, yet they are still so vigilant? Are they worried that the Haotian Sect will target you next?" Leng Yaozhu raised an eyebrow.
"Judging from the Clear Sky Sect's actions, they hold a hostile attitude towards the Ancient Family and the Angel Family, who have intricate connections with the Spirit Hall. Strategically, they despise the enemy, but tactically, they take them seriously. The Clear Sky Sect's emergence is very likely related to Shrek Academy."
That Tang Zhen might not have the true foundation; he might even reach the Limit Douluo level. I really hope I'm overthinking it.
Qian Gu Dongfeng rested his arms on the desk, his expression solemn. The sudden emergence of the Haotian Sect was a huge variable, especially since it would not be well received by the Qian Gu Clan. Precautions had to be taken.
"My strategy is to change one thing and keep one thing constant."
What we need to do now is to remain steadfast amidst change, and face any potential problems with ever-increasing strength.
-----------------
Half a month later, the Soul Tower.
The white jade floor was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the starlight hanging from the ceiling. The patterns engraved on the four walls shimmered with a faint glow, making the whole hall solemn and dignified.
The high platform suspended in the center of the hall, which had been deserted for years, was suddenly illuminated by two beams of light.
The celestial globe slowly took shape, the sun gleaming with gold and emitting light, the moon shining with the cold luster of jade. The jade seal with a coiled dragon on the side followed closely behind, its white jade texture warm and restrained. The dragon on the seal body raised its head and coiled around, its scales shimmering with a fine purple-gold luster. The characters engraved on the seal surface were shrouded in a layer of mist and faintly glowed.
After half a month of cultivation, Qian Gu Xing Ci naturally broke through to level seventy, but unfortunately, his spiritual power was still limited to the high-level Spirit Abyss Realm. Normally, the Spirit Abyss Realm can only fuse with one 100,000-year-old soul spirit. It was only by chance that the extremely high compatibility between Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng and Bei Dou Yuan Chen Hu made this feat possible.
"They've broken through so quickly. It seems we should go out and explore." The light of the Sun and Moon Celestial Instrument flickered.
"It's just that my current mental strength is difficult to integrate with yours." Qian Gu Xing Ci's tone was uncertain; he had come here to get a definite answer.
The Sun and Moon Celestial Instrument and the Panlong Jade Seal soared into the air, their powerful spiritual energy sweeping over Qian Gu Xing Ci before stopping after a moment.
A phantom image of a woman with white hair and a golden dress appeared, her face close to Qian Gu Xing Ci's, and said, "According to the limitations of your world, you indeed cannot accommodate us, but..."
Chapter 164 Get on the bus first, pay the fare later; the ultrasound report is handed out.
Should we imitate the fusion of sealing powers, or use some other method?
Halfway through his sentence, Qian Gu Xing Ci realized that the person standing nose-to-nose with him wasn't so pretty after all.
"Hey, Tianyi, he's still young, look at me!" A sudden shout broke the tense atmosphere. The Panlong Jade Seal swayed its body and moved closer to the two of them, its dragon patterns flashing with golden light. "I'm obedient to everything you say, and I'm proficient in all eighteen skills. You can't go wrong by coming to me!"
Riyue Tianyi's pretty face turned pale. Afraid that this guy would say something outrageous again, she reached out and grabbed the Panlong Jade Seal into her bosom, covering it tightly, trying to shut up any more nonsense he might say.
But she never expected that this would be exactly what the Panlong Jade Seal was trying to do.
With his sharp eyes, Qian Gu Xing Ci immediately spotted a line of crooked characters peeking out from the side of the jade seal, the strokes of which exuded a sly and cunning air.
Wow, it smells amazing!
Sure enough, no matter what kind of creature it is, its body will have some undeniable reactions when it does something bad.
"Alright, alright, I need to get down to business." Riyue Tianyi put the Panlong Jade Seal in his hand and gave Qian Gu Xingci an apologetic smile, adding, "Your soul contract method is a very common method, which completes the fusion through a contract."
There are limitations based on strength level, and excessively powerful forces can cause great damage to weaker contractors.
"By integrating first and then finalizing the contract, we can avoid this problem."
Qian Gu Xing Ci clicked his tongue in amazement. From their previous exchanges, he had vaguely guessed that these two artifacts had likely visited many planes and had extremely broad knowledge. He decided to give it a try and actually gained something.
"This method is based on our perfect compatibility. After the fusion of our powers is completed, we will sign a contract with your world. Your body's instincts will determine how much power you can control. You may not be able to unleash your full power in the short term."
It then transformed into a spirit... After merging with Huo Yuhao, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm first existed as a Wisdom Spirit Ring, and only later signed a Spirit Contract, which is similar to the process.
Get on the bus first, pay the ticket later, and show me the ultrasound report!
"An extremely profound seal?" Qian Gu Xing Ci offered his interpretation.
The dragon-shaped jade seal transformed into human form, its eyes sweeping over the ancient star's words, and it said disdainfully, "Not that low-level."
For example, the fact that high-energy foods you eat cannot be digested and remain in your stomach is a different matter from them being converted into fat!
The Sun and Moon Celestial Instrument, with its twin wheels of sun and moon slowly rotating, asked in a clear and gentle voice, "Are you ready?"
Qian Gu Xing Ci nodded slightly, his soul power gathering and ready to be unleashed.
Is this a simultaneous fusion?
Seeing the Sun and Moon Celestial Instrument and the Coiled Dragon Jade Seal simultaneously activate their origins, Qian Gu Xing Ci's heart stirred slightly. The illusory image of the Coiled Dragon Staff rose from the ground behind him, and the Star Pivot Dao Meridian expanded throughout his body's meridians. In an instant, brilliant purple-gold light intertwined with the flowing radiance of the sun, moon, and stars, enveloping his entire being. A clear dragon's roar pierced through the barrier, resounding endlessly.
In front of the enormous screen in the monitoring room at the Spirit Tower headquarters stood the most elite and powerful lineup of the Spirit Tower. Everyone stared intently at the screen, watching the figure enveloped in the starlight dragon.
"The fusion has begun." The ancient voice of Qian Gu Die Ting echoed in the silent hall, filled with admiration, "It seems that those two indeed possess unique methods far beyond our imagination."
It should be noted that in the Douluo Continent today, there are very few people who can possess a ferocious beast-level orange-gold spirit ring. According to reliable rumors, Long Yeyue, who became an evil spirit master, also possesses an orange-gold spirit ring, among the few who stand at the pinnacle of the continent, such as Sky Douluo Yun Ming, Hades Douluo, and Ghost King Douluo.
Witnessing this process firsthand is also a unique achievement.
"Great-grandfather," Qian Gu Zhangting couldn't contain his curiosity and stepped forward. This former crown prince of the Qian Gu family, and the most loyal supporter of the current crown prince, had heard of the existence of these two spirits in his early years, but had never accessed the core information. He asked, "Just how many years have these two spirits existed?"
Aruheng absorbed the right leg bone, and Qianzhangting, who happened to not have this part, was fortunate enough to enjoy it!
Ten thousand years ago, many powerful members of the Body Sect perished on the battlefield, leaving no soul bones behind. However, even a weakened camel is bigger than a horse. The Body Sect only had a few members, so it was still possible to provide Aruheng with a few 100,000-year-old soul bones.
He was already close to breaking through, and with the support of the soul bone, he leaped to become a Title Douluo, inheriting the title of Panlong. To show his goodwill towards the Body Sect, Qian Gu Dongfeng even paid out of his own pocket to fill the last soul bone slot for Aruheng.
Upon hearing this, Mu Ye and the other powerful figures who were not from ancient families all turned their heads. These two soul spirits were the highest-level secret treasures of the Spirit Pagoda; they had never even heard of them, let alone knew anything about them.
"Based on the lowest possible estimate, they were roughly at the demigod level when they first descended, which is similar to the age of the Snow Empress, who was once ranked third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, around 600,000 years old. However, their strength has leaped forward since we last encountered them. Now they might be able to unleash the combat power of quasi-gods," Qian Gu Die Ting said.
Quasi-god level cultivation! Comparable to the peak cultivation of the Evil Emperor!
"What is that?" Han Tianyi shouted after noticing the anomaly, his mental energy focused on it in real time.
Following his gaze, everyone saw a dragon pearl, entirely purple-gold and radiating a powerful aura, and a strange star, flowing with the brilliance of the heavens, simultaneously transform into a lustrous liquid and merge into the body of the Ancient Star Decree.
Within the space, the voice of the Sun and Moon Celestial Instrument entered Qian Gu Xing Ci's mind, explaining the changes before him: "After arriving in the Douluo plane, we sensed that transforming our soul form would be the final result, so we completed this process on our own. Afterwards, a portion of our power completely detached from our bodies and could not return. However, it seems it can be injected into your body."
The additional power after becoming a spirit... this description is Soul Bone!
At Qian Gu Xing Ci's signal, the dragon ball and the star rushed into Qian Gu Xing Ci's arms from the left and right respectively.
"Where will the remaining energy be stored? In the soul bones?" Qian Gu Xing Ci asked.
