Even here, the altitude is probably close to two thousand meters, and we don’t know how high the peaks above the sea of clouds are.
I will climb to the top of the mountain and look down on all the other mountains. Xu Sanshi felt so happy that he couldn't help but let out a long roar.
The whistling sound rolled, causing the surrounding clouds to drift and spread. Xu Sanshi's eyes unconsciously opened the Purple Demon Pupils. He stared at the turbulent sea of clouds and sat down subconsciously. At this moment, he seemed to have grasped something. His own Xuanwu Realm was slightly agitated, and it actually simulated the scene of the drifting sea of clouds.
He just sat there cross-legged, staring straight ahead with burning eyes, but his whole body was motionless.
Tang Wutong landed on the mountain a step behind Xu Sanshi. She immediately felt the sudden change in Xu Sanshi. If it were someone else, they might have urged Xu Sanshi to hurry up the mountain, but she would not. She was too familiar with Xu Sanshi. Looking at his eyes and feeling the changes in his soul power fluctuations, she immediately realized that something was wrong with Xu Sanshi.
Sudden enlightenment? Is this the sudden enlightenment that Master Mu talked about?
Tang Wutong still remembered clearly that Mu Lao had said that for a soul master, sometimes, a moment of enlightenment is better than ten years of hard training. Sudden enlightenment does not improve the cultivation level, but the realm. For a top beast soul soul master like Xu Sanshi, the improvement of the realm is particularly important.
Tang Wutong felt helpless, but was more happy for him. At this time, Xu Sanshi must not be disturbed. Otherwise, if he missed this opportunity, he would not know when he would have the next epiphany. This kind of epiphany under chance is the best, and it is much higher than the realm that is deliberately pursued.
The wings of the Bright Dragon Butterfly spread out, and Tang Wutong turned around, flapped his wings, and flew up, going straight through the clouds. After a moment, he turned back and sat down next to Xu Sanshi, following his gaze and looking at the sea of clouds in the distance.
After a while, a series of gray figures emerged silently from the mist, and at Tang Wutong's signal, they sat in a circle around Xu Sanshi from a distance. Each of these people looked energetic, aged between 25 and 35, with vigorous blood. Each of them had bright eyes, and there were more than 20 people in total, and they quickly formed a strict formation.
Tang Wutong whispered, "You guys stay here to protect him. Don't let anyone or anything disturb him. Do you understand? I'll go contact my father first."
All the men in gray bowed to her at the same time, but none of them made a sound. They all turned their backs to Xu Sanshi and looked outside.
Tang Wutong looked at Xu Sanshi again, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with him, she leaped up and flew away through the clouds.
Even Xu Sanshi himself didn't know what state he was in at the moment. He just felt his mind was empty and the Xuanwu Realm was slightly vibrating. A faint golden mist was slowly rising from the originally dark Xuanwu Realm. The mist was very light, but it simulated the sea of clouds gradually taking shape in front of him.
The ocean is boundless and limitless.
Although the change in his mental power this time was not as strong as the last time he entered the Spiritual Sea Realm, it gave Xu Sanshi a different feeling. What he suddenly realized was the transformation between mental power and soul power. As the son of destiny appointed by the Buddha, he has also made considerable progress in the past three years. Except that he is still not as good as Tang Wutong, Beibei, who was once known as the twin stars of the outer courtyard with him, has been left behind by him.
Mental power is different from soul power. It is higher in level than soul power, but it cannot be used directly like soul power. The operation of mental power is also qualitatively different from soul power. Soul power mainly absorbs the energy of heaven and earth for its own use, and is born from the martial soul. Mental power is a manifestation of soul power. It is the most fundamental power possessed by any living thing, and it is also used to drive the existence of soul power.
What Xu Sanshi realized this time was the mystery of the combination and transformation of mental power and soul power. He knew that among the younger generation in the entire continent, it was impossible for anyone to match the spiritual realm of the Demon King Huo Yuhao. However, no matter how talented Huo Yuhao was, it would be impossible for him to reach the realm above Soul Saint within these three years.
If Huo Yuhao appears again in the competition a year and a half later, they must have enough strength to have a chance to regain Shrek's glory.
Some readers said that I was almost marginalizing the protagonists of the original novel. This is inevitable. Their images and experiences have been fully portrayed in the original novel, and the author has no reason to devote too much time to them. Moreover, the protagonist aims to become the God King, so how could he possibly compete with the younger generation on the mainland?

Chapter 259: Mr. Xu Meets the Parents
259.
The change of the spiritual sea from liquid to mist is not that big, because it is just like water. But this transformation process is too precious to Xu Sanshi. This means that he can gradually control his spiritual power better and gradually master the way to integrate his spiritual power with his soul skills, instead of simply integrating it with the King of the World. This will also make his understanding of the spiritual level deeper, so that he has stronger control.
Tang Wutong came back in less than half an hour and returned to Xu Sanshi. Just when he was about to stay here with him, Xu Sanshi moved his body, and the purple in his eyes gradually faded.
A faint white mist suddenly emanated from Xu Sanshi. The mountain wind was fierce, but it could not blow away the mist emanating from his body. The white mist slowly floated up and condensed above his head, turning into a large white flower. Xu Sanshi raised his head slightly and took a deep breath. The large white flower turned into a stream of air and flowed into his nose again.
"Hey!" Xu Sanshi suddenly shouted with his eyes wide open, and in an instant, another puff of black light mist spread out from his body.
As the black light mist spread, both Tang Wutong beside him and the gray-clothed people guarding nearby clearly felt their minds becoming dazed, and everything around them seemed unclear.
Looking up at the rolling sea of clouds above his head, Xu Sanshi opened his eyes wide, and a flash of purple-gold light flashed. This time, no light was emitted. It was just that his Purple Demon Eyes changed color. However, in the distant sky, within the sea of clouds, a huge vortex suddenly appeared. The vortex spun rapidly, causing the surrounding clouds to surge violently. It lasted for about ten seconds before being swallowed up by the large sea of clouds again.
"Hmm..." Xu Sanshi came back to his senses, his eyes full of joy. This sudden realization undoubtedly made him further control his mental power. It was very beneficial to his cultivation. The improvement of mental control meant that his ability to control soul power with mental power would also be improved. Good control would naturally affect the speed of cultivation.
When he was surprised to find these gray-clothed men around him, he immediately felt that these people were looking at him as if he were a monster. Obviously, they didn't understand what had happened to Xu Sanshi at all.
"Third brother, are you okay?" Tang Wutong's voice suppressed Xu Sanshi's initial vigilance.
"It's okay, I seem to have suddenly figured something out. It seems to be the epiphany that Mr. Mu talked about." Xu Sanshi scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
Tang Wutong said unhappily, "How dare you say that? Your sudden realization made me so nervous. Fortunately, it didn't last too long."
Xu Sanshi chuckled and said, "We must seize the opportunity when it comes. Sorry, sorry. Are these your family members?" As he spoke, he pointed at the gray-clothed people around him.
Tang Wutong nodded and said, "Yes!" He turned to the gray-clothed men and said, "Everyone has worked hard. You can go back now."
"Yes." The gray-clothed people spoke for the first time, their voices were uniform, and no one asked any more questions. Each of them seemed to be very respectful to Tang Wutong. They all rose up and disappeared into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the speed they displayed, Xu Sanshi was really surprised. He found that the cultivation of these gray-clothed people was probably at least above the Soul King level. Their agile postures showed that they had deep cultivation. And it was definitely not the kind of soul power that was raised by special methods by the soul masters of the Sun and Moon Empire, which was superficial and unreal.
Tang Wutong smiled slightly and said, "If you have any questions, you will find out when you come to my house. Let's go." As she spoke, she took the lead and jumped up, climbing up the steep mountain road.
Xu Sanshi did not dare to neglect and followed him up. Stepping into the mist, Tang Wutong took the initiative to hold Xu Sanshi's hand and said, "I will lead you. It's easy to get lost in the mist. This is a line of defense of the Haotian Sect! If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff."
Xu Sanshi was a little unconvinced when he heard what he said. He had just had an epiphany about his mental power and was extremely confident. He immediately used his mental perception to try to spy on the surrounding terrain.
This perception of his was not a big deal, but it frightened him. Because he was surprised to find that in his spiritual perception, everything around him was empty, and he could not feel anything, even himself and Tang Wutong could not detect it. It was as if the two of them were completely suspended in the clouds. However, they were clearly standing on the ground, on the mountain!
"How could this happen?" Xu Sanshi said in surprise.
Tang Wutong said, "Keep it a secret. Let's go." Under his pull, Xu Sanshi could only follow him step by step. The road under his feet was not flat, there were rocks everywhere, and there was no pure road at all. If it weren't for Tang Wutong leading him, without the guidance of spiritual detection, Xu Sanshi would really be in trouble.
"Tang Wutong, can we fly directly over there from the sky? The clouds in your house seem very strange!"
Tang Wutong chuckled and said, "Of course it works. Actually, only the clouds around the main peak have some special effects. But in this cloud, there lives a kind of bird soul beast. It is known as the Killer in the Cloud. There are many ten thousand year old soul beasts among them. They live in groups. It is not easy to fly over."
Xu Sanshi smiled bitterly and said, "I suddenly regret coming with you. Is this your home? It's simply a den of dragons and tigers!"
Tang Wutong said with a smile: "Be careful with your words. If my uncle and second uncle hear this, you will suffer the consequences."
"Uncle, second uncle?" Xu Sanshi asked in surprise, "Don't you live with your parents?"
"I don't know where my father is now. My eldest uncle and second uncle are both my father's brothers. But I haven't seen my father and mother for a long, long time. When I asked my two uncles, they said that my father was driven away to another place by bad guys..." When she said this, her voice choked a little.
Hearing the sob in Tang Wutong's voice, Xu Sanshi quickly held her hand tightly, "Wutong, uncle and aunt will be fine, don't think too much!"
"Yeah." Tang Wutong agreed softly. Her good mood for going home seemed to be greatly affected.
Finally, the vision suddenly became clear. The surrounding clouds and mist changed from being suspended above the head to being trampled under the feet.
Standing on the sea of clouds, the feeling was different. About 300 meters above his head, on the top of a mountain suspended above the sea of clouds, there was a towering castle. The gray castle was full of ancient atmosphere, and it seemed to be on top of the world. In the drifting sea of clouds, on such a steep mountain, Xu Sanshi could not imagine how this castle was built.
When the academy was forced to move to Mingdu, the capital of the Sun-Moon Empire, I was shocked by the architecture there. It can be said that the architecture there is a symbol of the Sun-Moon Empire's technological progress. It also represents the strength of the Sun-Moon Empire in the application of soul guides.
But the huge castle built on the top of the mountain can only be described as a miracle. Even at the moment when soul guides have developed to the point where they have begun to change the country, it is almost impossible to build such a castle on such a steep mountain. But the facts are in front of him, and Xu Sanshi can't help but believe it.
Under the leadership of Tang Wutong, the two continued to climb. A height of hundreds of meters was nothing. After a while, they finally reached the top of the mountain and arrived in front of the miraculous castle.
On the top of the mountain, the wind was even more fierce and humid. But no matter how the wind blew, the castle standing proudly in the middle of the mountain top remained unmoved.
On the arched door of the castle, there are three big characters, "Haotian Castle."
"Please come in." Tang Wutong made a gesture of invitation to Xu Sanshi. Looking at his surprised expression, a smug smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
Xu Sanshi smiled and said, "Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that I was stunned. My darling, you really gave me a big surprise!"
Tang Wutong suddenly said shyly: "You are the first person I brought back. I don't usually have guests at home."
Xu Sanshi laughed softly and said, "Your family can't have guests, and you can't have guests just because of that terrifying sea of clouds."
"Who said I can't have guests at home!" At this moment, a loud and deep voice sounded from the castle.
Xu Sanshi was startled to see a tall figure coming out from the castle.
He was a middle-aged man with a very strong body. He had short hair as fine as steel needles, a handsome face, and a resolute face that looked like it was cut by a knife, but a little pale. His funny panda eyes were brown-yellow, with a faint golden glow. His gray robe could not completely cover his strong muscles. His body was covered with bruises and purples, and there were many claw marks. It was obvious that a certain bear did not hold back on him.
As soon as he appeared, Xu Sanshi immediately felt a terrifying pressure coming towards him, but this guy's image was really not that good.
The middle-aged man's eyes immediately fell on Xu Sanshi. He brought not only pressure from his aura, but also from his terrifying soul power. Xu Sanshi felt that the huge force was about to crush him.
In a sudden shock, Xu Sanshi immediately completed the Xuanwu possession, and a layer of dark mist emanated from his body, covering his entire body, as if he had instantly turned into a black man. What was even more peculiar was that in the black light, one could vaguely see the surging brown airflow coming from the front, like a stormy wave hitting the shore, but the black light emitted by Xu Sanshi himself made him as stable as a rock. Although his body was shaking slightly, he still withstood the pressure.
Fortunately, this pressure did not last too long, and it was over after just two or three seconds. But in these short two or three seconds, Xu Sanshi's back was covered with a layer of fine beads of sweat. He knew very well that even with all his current cultivation, he would not be able to last a minute under such pressure.
What kind of terrifying strength is needed to produce such a strong pressure! For a moment, Xu Sanshi was shocked. Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, his eyes involuntarily showed more fear and worry.
Tang Wutong stared at the middle-aged man indignantly and said, "Second uncle, what are you doing? We just came back and you're bullying my boyfriend."
The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Who told him to say that we don't have any guests? Little guy, it's not that we don't have any guests here, but there are not many people who are qualified to enter our Haotian Castle. Well, with your age and your soul power, you are definitely qualified. Thinking back to the past... cough cough! Okay, no more nonsense, come in!"
Xu Sanshi hurriedly said respectfully: "Hello, senior, this is a small gift from the junior, please accept it." He could tell from the words of the middle-aged man that he was definitely not as young as he looked. At the same time, he took out a box of precious elixir from the storage soul guide device, which was specially used to warm the tendons and veins and activate the blood circulation and remove blood stasis, and handed it over.
Tang Wutong tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "Third brother, this is my second uncle. Just follow me and call him second uncle."
The middle-aged man took Xu Sanshi's things and glared at Tang Wutong, saying, "It's too early to call me uncle now. You are quite sensible, little guy. My last name is Tai, so you should call me uncle!"
Hearing this, Tang Wutong couldn't help but look at the middle-aged man angrily, but his second uncle ignored him and turned around to go into the castle first.
Xu Sanshi did not feel any hostility from Uncle Tai, but he could deeply feel his arrogance. It was obvious that he had not yet fully recognized him.
Mr. Xu has replaced Huo Gua and is about to carry the bag of rice that Huo Gua once held.

Chapter 260: Strange Liquid
260.
"Wutong, it's okay, just listen to your uncle." Xu Sanshi was much smarter than Yuan Huogua, and advised with a smile.
Tang Wutong grumbled with dissatisfaction: "They just don't trust my judgment. Humph!"
Xu Sanshi laughed and said, "As long as you treat me as your boyfriend, I will definitely get along well with your family. Take me on a tour and then find a place for me to live."
"Yeah." Tang Wutong blushed after hearing his words and walked into the castle with Xu Sanshi.
There is no luxurious decoration in the castle. The overall layout is mainly gray and black. Occasionally there are traces of blue in some places. There are stairs on both sides, which can be climbed to higher places. The structure of the castle is not very complicated. There are three floors in total, but the area it occupies is quite large.
Tang Wutong introduced to Xu Sanshi: "The first floor of our Haotian Castle is where the sect members live, and the second floor is where guests and sect elders live. The third floor is where my uncle, second uncle, and I all live."
"Your Haotian Sect is really strong!" Xu Sanshi praised secretly. In the books of the Sea God Pavilion, he had seen a detailed introduction to the Haotian Sect. In the data collection of various sects by Shrek Academy, the Haotian Sect was ranked at the top, on par with the Body Sect, which shows how powerful it is.
According to the introduction in the classics, the Haotian Sect was established earlier than Shrek Academy, and it is also an ancient sect spanning more than 10,000 years, even longer than the history of the Body Sect. As early as 10,000 years ago, the Haotian Sect was known as the number one sect of weapon spirits. Even the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, which was once prominent at the time, was inferior to it.
According to records, Tang San, the leader of the first generation of Shrek Seven Devils of Shrek Academy and the founder of Tang Sect, was from Haotian Sect. His father was directly called Haotian Douluo. His strength was extremely strong. Tang San also had twin martial spirits, one of which was Haotian Hammer.
But according to the records of Shrek Academy, about a thousand years ago, the Haotian Sect gradually faded away and disappeared. No one from the sect was seen walking on the mainland, and people judged that it had gradually died out. Unexpectedly, the Haotian Sect not only did not disappear, but also built such a miraculous castle in this place of cloud depths.
Tang Wutong looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Third brother, you are not underestimating yourself, are you?"
Xu Sanshi smiled bitterly and said, "No matter how strong my background is, it can never be compared to the Haotian Sect. Wu Tong, you come from such an ancient and powerful sect like the Haotian Sect. I feel a lot of pressure! The two of us..."
Tang Wutong interrupted him in dissatisfaction: "Why are you like those vulgar people? Is status important to us?"
Xu Sanshi hugged her and laughed, saying, "It doesn't matter to me as a pure loser. As long as you think it's unimportant, then it's unimportant."
Tang Wutong chuckled and said, "Diaosi, that's really ugly. Don't say these two words anymore. Let's go, you and I will live on the third floor."
Xu Sanshi glanced around with a guilty conscience and said, "Living with you? That's not good. After all, this is your home..."
Hearing this, Tang Wutong blushed and pinched Xu Sanshi's ear: "What are you thinking about? There are also guest rooms on the third floor."
Inside the castle, some gray-clothed people occasionally walked by. From their aura and soul power fluctuations, Xu Sanshi could tell that the gray-clothed people he had seen before were only the most basic ones here. The strength of several gray-clothed people made him feel unfathomable, and they had at least the cultivation level of Soul Saint or above. This Haotian Sect is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers! However, living in such steep mountains, how can they live? After entering this Haotian Castle, Xu Sanshi can be said to be full of questions.
Tang Wutong brought Xu Sanshi to the third floor and arranged him in one of the rooms.
The room is not very large, but the beds, tables and chairs inside are all carved out of stone, as are the cabinets. The layout is quite simple.
Tang Wutong said apologetically: "This is how it is here. The conditions are rather simple. Don't mind it!"
Xu Sanshi smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite to me? Living in the Haotian Castle in the Cloud Recesses is like traveling. You just came back, go meet your family. Don't worry about me, I'll meditate and rest for a while."
"Okay. I'll bring you bedding later." Tang Wutong then turned and left.
After he left, Xu Sanshi naturally looked around the room he lived in. The room was about 20 square meters and had a bathroom.
There was a portrait in the bathroom, showing a very beautiful woman wearing a rabbit-ear hair ornament. Below was a basin filled with milky white water. Xu Sanshi reached out and scooped up a handful of water to wash his face, but he was startled as soon as his hand entered the water.
The water was extremely viscous, just like the ability of his Xuanwu Realm. The clear water in his hand even hung on his hand. He sniffed it lightly and there was a strange fishy smell...
So sticky, so smelly! Could this be... Xu Sanshi's face was strange. He hesitated for a moment, but still threw the strange water into the basin. It was better not to get this kind of unknown liquid on his face...
The third floor of Haotian Castle.
Tang Wutong pouted and walked into a large room with a dissatisfied look on his face. In this large room, his second uncle was sitting there, and another middle-aged man was sitting in the main seat.
The middle-aged man sitting in the main seat had long green hair, which spread over his broad and majestic shoulders. His eyes and eye sockets were also green, but his eye sockets were a little swollen. When he opened and closed his eyes, his seemingly plain eyes had an indescribable special texture, as if he could not suppress the strong aura in his body. His burly body was covered in a white suit.
At this time, the two seemed to be talking about something.
"Uncle, second uncle, what's wrong with you? They are guests from far away. Second uncle, what were you doing just now? What if you scared him?" Tang Wutong started asking questions like a machine gun as soon as she entered the room.
The Titan Ape laughed and said, "My little Phoenix, you haven't been home for so long, and you get angry at your uncles as soon as you come back. This is not right. As for your boyfriend, if he can't even pass this test, how can he be qualified to enter our Haotian Castle? He does have some ability, but he is still far behind our little Phoenix."
Tang Wutong immediately said in dissatisfaction, "What? You don't know him at all. Third Brother is outstanding. He has the Xuanwu spirit of a divine beast, and his spirit can evolve again. Didn't I tell you last time I came back? Don't you still believe in my judgment?"
The Azure Bull Python sitting in the main seat smiled slightly and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Qi, stop making trouble. It's not that we don't trust your vision, but we have to check it for you. And didn't your second uncle also stop at the right time? Hmm?"
Suddenly, the two middle-aged men's faces changed, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, and they looked at each other. The Azure Bull Python asked Wang Dong, "Xiao Qi, which room did you arrange for your boyfriend to stay in?"
