Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

……

The Spirit Tower of Xingluo City.

"Your subordinate greets the Tower Master!"

Zhang Geyang strode into the Spirit Transmission Tower, with Zhao Xuanzhen following closely behind. Along the way, the deacons of the Spirit Transmission Tower bowed respectfully.

Upon entering the underground Soul Chamber, several members of the Star Luo City Spirit Transmission Tower were transforming several sea spirit beasts into spirits. As soon as they saw the Tower Master arrive, they immediately stopped their work and lined up to await orders.

"We, your nephew Xuanzhen, need to use the Soul Chamber. You may all leave."

Zhang Geyang waved his hand, and everyone obeyed and left.

With only two people remaining in the Soul Chamber, Zhang Geyang exhaled a long breath, and his body underwent multiple changes, transforming him from Zhang Geyang into Mu Ye.

When one cultivates their Martial Soul to a high level, they can change their appearance and physique. The Sect Master's disguise was flawless, easily deceiving everyone.

Zhao Xuanzhen took out Zhang Geyang's corpse from the storage soul tool, and chanted an obscure and lengthy incantation. The Netherworld Flame Beast, the Jade Phoenix, and the Emerald Demon Bird appeared. The incantation slowly broke the soul contract between the three and Zhang Geyang, and at the same time, Zhang Geyang's body visibly withered.

The Spirit Pagoda has developed a method to extract the souls of the deceased, but because it would damage the body, it has not been popularized in Douluo Continent due to ethical concerns. Only core members of the Spirit Pagoda can access the incantations.

"null--"

As the incantation ended, Zhang Geyang shattered into countless tiny dust particles, leaving behind a complete set of soul bones, including a Blood River treasure—the right leg soul bone of a 100,000-year-old Emerald Demon Bird.

The Youyan lineage is one of the ruling families of the Spirit Pagoda, so it is natural that they have a collection of soul bones. It is not surprising that they could assemble a set of soul bones, but the quality is not that amazing.

Aside from the 100,000-year-old Emerald Demon Bird Soul Bone, only the 50,000-year-old Void Beast Left Arm Soul Bone can be considered a fine piece.

Mu Ye wasn't interested in the soul bones Zhang Geyang had dropped and generously handed them over to Zhao Xuanzhen to handle. The Emerald Demon Bird and Void Beast soul bones were kept for those close to him, while the remaining soul bones would be placed with the Green Skull's collection, awaiting their destined owners.

Lei Mingyan Yuteng, Yin Yang Chaos Bird, and Mu Ye worked together to prevent the three loyal soul spirits of Zhang Geyang from causing trouble. Zhao Xuanzhen activated the long-distance transmission device and dialed Leng Yaozhu's soul guide communicator.

"teacher."

"Yes, I'm ready." Leng Yaozhu's gentle voice came through the soul communication device.

In the Soul Chamber of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, Na'er was helping Leng Yaozhu. Seeing souls being transmitted one after another, her expression suddenly changed, and she blurted out:

"A hundred thousand-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine, a hundred thousand-year-old Jade Phoenix, a hundred thousand-year-old Emerald Demon Bird, a ten-thousand-year-old Netherworld Flame Beast... Holy crap, this soul spirit combination looks so familiar! Zhao Xuanzhen, you bastard, you killed the deputy tower master Zhang Geyang and even extracted his entire set of super soul spirits!"

"No prize for a correct answer."

"Did you instigate Senior Main Body to do this?" Na'er asked curiously.

“Yes, and with Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng rebelling against his former master, killing Zhang Ge Yang won’t be difficult.” Zhao Xuanzhen replied with a light laugh. “They will be placed in the ultimate Spirit Ascension Platform controlled by the Phoenix Clan. Once we take control of the Spirit Transmission Tower, we will no longer need to worry about the power of the Qian Gu Clan. These high-quality soul spirits will be our legitimate property.”

"Hehe, they're all ours!" Na'er exclaimed, radiating positive energy.

"By the way, Na'er, take the Thunderous Hell Vine to Seagod Island when you have time. Let it use the aura of the Golden Tree to stabilize its soul body. When Elder Jin awakens, it will receive it. If the Sky-Supporting Douluo asks too many questions, just say it was my idea to repay the kindness of the fourth soul ring of the True Self."

"Can we accept Shrek?"

“The Sea God Pavilion has always regarded the Golden Tree as the foundation of the academy. I sent the Golden Tree a 100,000-year-old soul as a guardian. They should be secretly delighted.”

"That seems to make sense, but I'm a little reluctant to part with it. The 100,000-year-old Thunderous Hell Vine is unparalleled in the world..."

Na'er smacked her lips, fully embracing the perspective of the female hostess: even the coins that fall from the sky must belong to the Zhao family!

Zhao Xuanzhen didn't care much. The Golden Ancient Tree was an ally, and the Thunderous Yama Vine, which had transformed into a general under Elder Jin, was also an ally. There was no need to force the Thunderous Yama Vine to become anyone's soul.

After chatting briefly with Na'er and Leng Yaozhu for a few minutes to explain the next steps, Zhao Xuanzhen hung up the soul guide communication.

At the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, Leng Yaozhu finished settling the souls and, admiring the jade phoenix soaring in the sky, remarked with emotion:

"If Xuanzhen and his wife can have a child who awakens the Phoenix Martial Soul in the future, the Jade Phoenix would be quite suitable as a soul spirit."

The inheritance of the original martial soul is unstable, and the probability of Zhao Xuanzhen's descendants awakening their true selves is extremely low. The blood of the Phoenix family flows in his veins, and his descendants may awaken a true Phoenix martial soul.

With the Phoenix Clan suffering from a decline in talent, Leng Yaozhu pinned her hopes on Zhao Xuanzhen.

"Phoenix, this is a bit difficult..."

Na'er's pretty face flushed slightly, and her delicate body twisted and turned like a snake spirit. It seems that Zhao Xuanzhen's child is mainly of the maternal bloodline. Giving birth to a little phoenix is ​​too difficult for the Silver Dragon Spear!

"You're alright now, but I, the sect master, still have other things to do."

At the Spirit Pagoda in Xingluo City, Mu Ye stretched. He would stay here for a few days to clear Zhao Xuanzhen of suspicion, create the illusion of Zhang Geyang's violent death, and assist the Phoenix Family in their subsequent plans to control the Xingluo Continent.

"By the way, why don't you set off with Shrek Academy for the next city?"

"I am prepared to act alone and find the path to the third awakening of my true self."

The atmosphere became tense. Makino tentatively asked, "Does your teacher know?"

"I don't know," Zhao Xuanzhen said with a smile. "I plan to tell her that I was in seclusion with my senior to comprehend the Dao of the Body."

"You! You! You! Why did you hurt me!" Mu Ye was filled with grief and indignation.

"The Body Sect is a sect that rivals heaven and earth. The first patriarch awakened for the second time in the deep sea. The sages created various combat techniques after going through countless hardships. For example, a certain Tiger Fist master once went deep into various soul beast forests to find tiger-type soul beasts."

To be honest, I support you in finding your own path, but you are not a pure-blooded disciple of the original body, and you have a teacher who cherishes you like his own life..."

Mu Ye looked distressed: "I have to consider the worst-case scenario. If something happens to you, our Body Sect has barely managed to survive and has finally seen a glimmer of hope for revival. We absolutely cannot let the crazed Heavenly Phoenix Douluo wipe us out..."

Otherwise, this sect leader will die with his eyes wide open, and in the afterlife, he will have no face to face his ancestors…

“Senior, it’s not that bad…” Zhao Xuanzhen squinted. “I’m wearing the phoenix pendant my teacher gave me. Even though we are far apart and my teacher can’t pinpoint my exact location, he at least knows that I’m alive and well.”

"Then I am relieved..." Mu Ye coughed lightly and asked casually, "I just heard you tell Tian Feng that after Zhang Geyang's death, the Phoenix Clan supported Uncle Huan Nao to become the Deputy Tower Master?"

"Old Han is highly experienced. He is a level 98 Super Douluo and a four-word Battle Armor Master. No one below the Limit Douluo can surpass him. His only weakness is that he is not a direct descendant of the Spirit Pagoda. He joined the Spirit Pagoda after leaving the Body Sect."

I asked the teacher, and the Purgatory Douluo couple had no intention of taking up positions in the Spirit Pagoda. They were more interested in traveling around the Douluo Continent. The candidate recommended by the ancient family was most likely the Witch Douluo Li Mengjie.

The former one of the four great Spirit Transmission Envoys was slightly weaker than Elder Han. The Smiling Douluo, the leader of the Tang Sect on the Star Luo Continent, was a level 98 Super Douluo. The person in charge of the Spirit Transmission Tower on the Star Luo Continent couldn't appear weak; considering this, Elder Han was the best candidate.

It wasn't that Han Tianyi was promoted in name only and transferred away from the power center of the Spirit Pagoda; the main reason was that Zhao Xuanzhen couldn't find a reliable candidate. The Phoenix Clan had very few powerful members. If Dark Phoenix Douluo Leng Yulai were a normal human, she would be an excellent choice, but unfortunately, there are no ifs.

In this urgent situation, we had no choice but to swallow our pride and ask Han Tianyi to guard the Star Luo Continent and clean up the Zhang family faction in the Star Luo Continent Spirit Transmission Tower. We would wait until the new Spirit Transmission Tower was built before sending another loyal and capable person to replace Han Tianyi.

"I'll stay in the Star Luo Continent for a couple more years, to cover for you and help my uncle out."

The sect leader was secretly plotting something. With the main body Douluo Mu Ye, the Smiling Douluo Hu Jie, and the Illusion Brain Douluo Han Tianyi, the Star Luo Continent would become the main body sect's paradise, and all the main body soul masters would be in his bowl!

Seeing through it but not saying it, Zhao Xuanzhen nodded with a smile. This was the reward that the Body Sect deserved.

Now that everything was settled, it was time for him to take action; the Chief had already sent a message.

Dragon Valley has been found...

Chapter 142 Dragon Cloud Nourishes the Body, Starry Sky Beast Descends, Xuan Yue Reunites (4K)

Clad in heavy black iron armor, the Chief stood atop the mountain, a halberd deeply embedded in the earth, his scarlet eyes gazing into the distance as a massive, winding black shadow hurtled toward them at breakneck speed.

"Dragon Valley Space, is this it...?"

Zhao Xuanzhen leaped down from the top of the Teng Snake's head, sensing the strangeness of this high mountain. The spatial elements here were restless, and a powerful aura unique to the dragon race was faintly permeating the air. There was no other possibility but Dragon Valley, which buried countless dragon corpses.

"Tear open the Dragon Valley space," Zhao Xuanzhen ordered.

Dragon Valley is a small space that exists based on the main plane of Douluo Star. There are two ways to enter: one is to find the main entrance guarded by the Tang Sect, and the other is to be like a star beast from another time and space, using its power to tear open a gap and forcefully break in!

Zhao Xuanzhen chose the latter directly. With one hand, he gripped the Fangtian Halberd, its blade gleaming with a fierce, cold light that devoured all light. Without the slightest hesitation, he raised his heavily armored arm and the Fangtian Halberd tore through the void!

As the halberd blade pointed, an indescribable crimson rainbow suddenly erupted, slashing fiercely at the seemingly invisible yet incredibly sturdy spatial fortress of Dragon Valley, which even Limit Douluo were helpless against.

The solid wall formed by the laws of space was severed, collapsing inward like a sphere, and was finally torn open by the violent, blood-red blade of the halberd.

Deep within Dragon Valley, a deep hum echoed far and wide. The dragon clouds that had been drifting leisurely in the air began to fluctuate violently, causing anomalies to occur in the tens of thousands of square meters around them. The dragon clouds were forced to disperse, and a deep, dark trail appeared on the horizon.

The sky above Dragon Valley seemed to shatter, and the dark marks gradually extended. The Fangtian Halberd fiercely emerged from the crack, and then slowly pulled and stretched to both sides!

Dragon Valley was wide open. As Zhao Xuanzhen looked at the countless dragon clouds inside, he was suddenly repelled by the spatial origin the moment he got close.

"Resist me..."

Not all Soul Masters can set foot in Dragon Valley. Those who enter must have a Soul Power of Level 50 or below. As a six-ring Soul Emperor who has surpassed the limits of Dragon Valley, Zhao Xuanzhen scoffed at this rule.

Customized champions don't get our approval!

After silently criticizing the rules of Dragon Valley, Zhao Xuanzhen turned to Tengshe and said:

"The power of deception has concealed my true form."

The jet-black giant snake flicked its tongue and slightly raised its head. It understood how much Zhao Xuanzhen valued Dragon Valley. A scale covering the side of its jaw, with edges gleaming with a deep black light, fell off.

This single snake scale was larger than Zhao Xuanzhen himself. As it fell off, it rapidly shrank, transforming into wisps of illusory shadows that coiled around Zhao Xuanzhen's body.

The snake scales contain the deceptive power of the Teng Snake's origin, concealing Zhao Xuanzhen's original appearance.

A burst of golden light erupted, its radiance as intense and majestic as the blazing sun, surging and coalescing into the outline of a tall and sturdy figure. The dazzling light blurred the details of Zhao Xuanzhen's face, only outlining the golden, shimmering form.

"Oh, the Golden Dragon King in the Eight Gates Formation?" Tengshe, having personally experienced all the past events, discerned whose aura Zhao Xuanzhen had conjured using the power of deception truly belonged to.

"After all, it's Dragon Valley, so it's much more convenient for the Golden Dragon King."

Zhao Xuanzhen stretched out a hand and passed through the spatial rift into Dragon Valley without any hindrance. At this moment, in the single-line operation of Dragon Valley, he was a qualified four-ring Soul Master.

"let's go."

The two Eight Deceitful Gods returned to Zhao Xuanzhen's body, and a golden light descended from the sky and fell into the Dragon Valley plane.

The mountains and rivers are beautiful, and the clouds and mist are swirling. All kinds of colors of clouds, including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, are present. The clouds seem to have some dragon-like shapes.

The clouds in the sky are a manifestation of the Dragon Soul. Danger and opportunity coexist within Dragon Valley. These dragon clouds are very safe. They have no independent consciousness, only some basic instincts. When an aura of affinity appears, they will voluntarily descend to fuse with the Soul Master.

"The character '离' (li) means 'fiery flame'."

The Eight Trigrams and Qimen Dunjia were turned to the character "Li". The pure fire element instantly rose up. A crimson dragon cloud in the sky twisted for a moment, and then excitedly began to spin in the air. The swirling cloud was like a funnel vortex, shooting straight down towards Zhao Xuanzhen like a streak of light.

A surge of heat rushed into his body. The red cloud was born from the dragon soul of the fire dragon lineage and possessed intense fire element. The dragon cloud that entered his body nourished every inch of his meridians, and his limbs and bones felt as if they had been ironed, leaving him feeling indescribably refreshed.

Long Yun is close to elemental soul masters and dragon soul masters. Although Zhao Xuanzhen is neither of the above two types, the Golden Dragon King bloodline he imitated, combined with the territory-based Dao techniques, made Long Yun extremely affable to him, easily attracting a large number of people.

However, for Zhao Xuanzhen, whose basic panel was extremely overpowered, the efficiency of absorbing dragon clouds to temper his body was still too low. His eyes were filled with a dark blue color, and his earthly Taoist technique shifted to the Qian position hexagram!

“The character '乾' (qián) means to summon spirits.”

A soaring dragon roar resounded through the heavens and the illusory image of a magnificent golden dragon soared into the sky. Rays of golden light converged into intricate runes that intertwined with each other, as if the ancient dragon language was being murmured softly. A sacred and solemn aura permeated the air, and the energy field of the Golden Dragon King spread wildly from the Summoning Array as its base.

Zhao Xuanzhen stood in the center of the great formation, slowly opening his arms. A brilliant golden pillar of light shot straight into the sky, followed closely by elemental light clusters of earth, water, wind, fire, thunder, mountains, and marshes.

The Golden Dragon King, amplified by the summoning array, dispelled the clouds above Dragon Valley. The dragon clouds, shimmering with various beautiful lights, seemed to freeze for a moment, as thousands of dragon eyes focused on the golden pillar of light, then fixed on the tiny yet exceptionally radiant figure on the ground.

After a brief silence, a roar that could ignite the entire Dragon Valley erupted. The Dragon God had fallen, and the Golden Dragon King was now one of the nominal leaders of the Dragon Clan. Moreover, he possessed multiple elements of the highest purity and refinement, which was practically the rebirth of the Dragon God!

Filled with the fervor and excitement of a pilgrimage, the thoughts of countless dragons surged, overflowing with joy and submission. The majestic aura of the golden pillar of light was undoubtedly an eternal beacon, guiding the dragon race to revive and become great once again!

The first to respond was a cloud of azure wind-attribute dragons. The storm lost its fierce sharpness and transformed into a refreshing breeze that swept down.

The wind dragon took the lead, but the other dragon clouds were not to be outdone. Countless colorful dragon clouds, like devout worshippers, poured down from all directions and from every corner of the Dragon Valley towards the source of the golden pillar of light of the Summoning Array!

All dragons pay homage to their ancestral temple, and all rivers flow into the sea!

The effect of waving the Golden Dragon King's banner was unexpectedly powerful. Dragon clouds of all colors rushed to descend. Tang Wulin might not have absorbed as many dragon clouds in three years as Zhao Xuanzhen had in a single day!

After being nourished by the Dragon Cloud, Zhao Xuanzhen could clearly sense his physical strength steadily increasing, his elemental perception becoming significantly stronger, and his mental power continuously improving, allowing his true self to evolve towards a higher level in all aspects!

"Trespassing on the forbidden grounds of the Tang Clan is a death sentence!"

A loud shout suddenly rang out, and dozens of figures wearing white masks jumped out from the roadside. They were none other than the Tang Sect Fighting Soul Hall fighters who had entered Dragon Valley!

The summoning array was incredibly powerful; even thousands of meters away, the dazzling golden pillar of light could be seen. Almost all the dragon souls in Dragon Valley were drawn to the Golden Dragon King, leaving the Tang Sect warriors with nothing!

With all thirty Tang Clan White-level fighters present, the golden figure whose appearance was obscured was naturally an outsider!

"Could it be him..."

Tang Wulin, codenamed Bai San, was in turmoil. Others might not recognize the aura of the Golden Dragon King, but he was all too familiar with it. This person was most likely the mysterious powerhouse who had stripped the Golden Dragon King's divine core back then!

Tang Wulin didn't hate the other party for taking the Golden Dragon King's divine core, because it was a double-edged sword. Just like when he confessed under the night sky that year, he chose a stable life, wanting to grow up smoothly and find the missing Tang Ziran and his wife.

Now, the Blue Silver Grass has transformed into the top-tier plant-type martial soul, Golden-Patterned Blue Silver Grass. Tang Wulin is highly regarded by all sides and is an elite disciple of both Shrek Academy and Tang Sect.

Although his forging skills were inferior to those of the Nine Heavens, and the path to becoming a divine craftsman was shrouded in mystery, breaking through to the eighth level of the Saint Craftsman was still a certainty. Tang Wulin was very satisfied with his current bright future. If he could, he would even like to sit down and have a peaceful chat with the mysterious man.

"What are we waiting for? Let's attack together!" Bai Yi shouted sharply.

"Kill him, and all these dragon clouds will be ours, everyone will get a share!" Bai Shisan stared greedily at the massive amount of dragon clouds gathered by the Spirit Summoning Array.

"To harm the interests of the Tang Clan is a righteous death!"

The saying "Every man for himself" resonated with most of the Tang Clan members.

In their understanding, the Soul Masters who appear in Dragon Valley are at most four-ring Soul Masters, and since Dragon Valley seals Soul Skills, it means that they can only fight by relying on physical strength and combat skills.
