Douluo: Dragon King's Tai Chi Mystery

"The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has a small number of members, less than twenty in total. The younger generation goes to the mainland to train, while the elders are in seclusion year-round and rarely show their faces in public, so they are unknown to outsiders."

Gu Yue said meaningfully, "I joined the Spirit Transmission Tower on behalf of the sect, hoping to use the power of the Spirit Transmission Tower to protect these soul beasts and prevent the sect's secret techniques from being lost."

"Xuanzhen, in the future, we want to build a virtual space for soul beasts, different from the Spirit Ascension Platform, to transfer all the soul beasts in the forest into it. This will both protect the soul beast seeds and benefit human soul masters. Would you support us?"

Zhao Xuanzhen instantly realized that this forest was probably the second base of the Star Dou Great Forest, hiding a large number of soul beast seeds.

Gu Yue took the initiative to lead him home, one of her purposes already out in her mouth: she hoped that he would see these soul beasts with his own eyes, agree with the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect's ideals, and lay the foundation for the future proposal to build the Ten Thousand Beasts Platform to restrain humanity.

“The resources required to establish a virtual space are not a small amount,” Zhao Xuanzhen said calmly. “Even a deputy tower master like Teacher, who is also the master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, has no authority to approve it.”

Within the Spirit Transfer Tower, only one person possesses the ability to do this: the Tower Master.

“I have said that we are one.”

Gu Yue extended her slender hand, intertwining her fingers with Zhao Xuanzhen's without giving him a chance to refuse. A gentle breeze carried the girl's natural, refreshing fragrance into Zhao Xuanzhen's nostrils, her voice both gentle and resolute:

"The ancient families are autocratic and tyrannical, and the Spirit Pagoda will inevitably go astray under their leadership. But you are completely different. The Myriad Beasts Sect will do everything in its power to help you ascend to the position of Pagoda Master!"

"Then I... look forward to that day."

The position of Spirit Pagoda Master has never been inherited in a succession system. In front of each other, Zhao Xuanzhen and Gu Yue no longer concealed their ambitions!

The struggle for the position of tower owner has always been like this!

The two strolled hand in hand through the forest, passing through the last venomous barrier made of nightmare man-eating flowers, where an ancient castle suddenly stood before them.

The castle's outer walls are covered with emerald vines, their leaves resembling phoenix feathers. The pointed tops pierce the clouds hanging from the dome, and the towers' outlines resemble the spine of a crouching beast. The main gate is over ten feet high, its doors adorned with reliefs of silver dragons roaring to the sky, their eyes inlaid with two crimson crystals that shimmer with a captivating light.

The moment it saw the castle, the Crimson Flame Cat did a backflip to escape Zhao Xuanzhen's embrace, then spun around with a triple kick and ran back to the dense forest. The smoothness of its combo left Zhao Xuanzhen stunned.

"null--"

The gate swung open with a roar, and three tall figures emerged from the castle to greet them. Their overwhelming aura surged forth like a raging tide, and Zhao Xuanzhen unleashed a layer of black and white energy that transformed into a rotating Tai Chi diagram that enveloped his entire body.

The three men's auras surged wave after wave, like crashing waves, but Zhao Xuanzhen's yin and yang energies kept him as steady as a rock.

Upon seeing this, Gu Yue's face instantly turned icy cold. Fortunately, the pressure did not last long and ended after only three to five seconds.

Zhao Xuanzhen stared at the three men, his eyes filled with a deep, dark aura. The man on the left was burly, with a full red beard, and emanated a burst of intense heat. The man on the right exuded a sinister aura, seemingly skilled in mental manipulation. The tall figure in the middle was imposing and dignified, wearing a black mask that obscured his true appearance.

Gu Yue suppressed his anger and introduced, "Xuanzhen, this is my father, the Black Dragon Douluo, the master of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. My father was injured in his face in his early years and has always worn a mask."

The other two are my uncles, Crimson Demon Douluo and Spirit Demon Douluo.

The identities of the three are obvious: the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound Crimson King, the tenth most ferocious beast demon spirit, and the number one ferocious beast of Douluo Continent, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, the Beast God Di Tian!

"Greetings to all the senior members of the Myriad Beasts Sect." Zhao Xuanzhen greeted them with the courtesy due to a junior.

Di Tian waved his hand indifferently, his voice seemingly containing a sense of desolation: "No need for formalities, I've heard your name mentioned by Yue'er many times."

Meeting you today, I truly regret not having met sooner..."

"Is it a case of meeting too late?" Zhao Xuanzhen squinted. Although he didn't detect any malice from Di Tian, ​​considering the Prison Emperor's complex beastly life, it wasn't necessarily a case of meeting too late, but rather a deep sense of regret...

Di Tian stepped forward and patted Zhao Xuanzhen on the shoulder. Seeing their hands clasped tightly together, the features beneath the masks were twisted together as if a rare treasure had been taken from them, and his voice sounded like it was being squeezed out from between his teeth:

"Good lad, welcome to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect!"

Before Zhao Xuanzhen could reply, Gu Yue, with a cold and beautiful face, pulled him into the castle first.

Sensing Gu Yue's obvious anger, neither the Crimson King nor the Demon Spirit dared to utter a sound. Di Tian sighed softly, as his master's current state reminded him of the Imperial Beast from ten thousand years ago.

The castle is not decorated luxuriously. The overall layout is mainly silver and black, with occasional traces of green. It has five floors and the structure is not complicated.

Zhao Xuanzhen's room was located on the fourth floor of the guest rooms. The room, which was about 30 square meters, was simply furnished with a bed and a set of tables and chairs.

It is worth noting that one tortoise shell lies in the center of the room in its most primitive form, half of it like ice soaked in moonlight, and the other half like the golden flames of the rising sun. The two energies of yin and yang move between the cracks, and the patterns on its back seem to breathe slowly.

"The Yin-Yang Coffin Turtle?"

Soul Masters generally pay attention to Soul Beasts that are compatible with their own Martial Soul, and Zhao Xuanzhen is no exception.

The Yin-Yang Coffin Turtle is a mutated variety of the top-tier defensive soul beast, the Xuanwu Turtle. Its dual water and earth attributes have been transformed into Yin-Yang attributes. Its shell gathers all the Yin-Yang power within its body, making it a meditation haven coveted by Yin-Yang attribute soul masters.

Judging from the size of this tortoise shell, this Yin-Yang Coffin Tortoise was very likely a 100,000-year-old soul beast in life, and the effect of the tortoise shell is no less than that of the Yin-Yang Qilin corpse in the underground of the Sea God Pavilion!

However, even the shell of the 100,000-year-old Yin-Yang Coffin Turtle paled in comparison to the cinnabar pearl floating above it.

The elixir was small in size, but it was filled with active energy fluctuations. Yin and Yang energies drifted into the air and condensed into a physical form. The crane raised its head to the sky, and its frost-like feathers fluttered down.

"Ancient mythical beast, the Yin-Yang Crying Crane!"

Even Zhao Xuanzhen, who was used to all kinds of treasures, couldn't help but twitch his eye when he saw the pill of the Two Elements Soaring Crane.

Ancient spirit beasts, also known as primordial beasts, are most famous for the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent that Tang San killed in the City of Slaughter 20,000 years ago. Its inner core was absorbed by Ma Hongjun, becoming the Fire Phoenix's seventh spirit ring and simultaneously causing the Fire Phoenix's martial spirit origin to evolve.

Ancient spirit beasts can no longer be described as rare in the world, because these things have only appeared a few times. Zhao Xuanzhen couldn't have imagined that Gu Yue would prepare an inner core of the Two Elements Howling Crane for him. This thing was only described briefly in an ancient book!

Reflecting Zhao Xuanzhen's astonished expression in her eyes, Gu Yue nodded in satisfaction and said, "The Liangyi Minglan Crane was a close friend of the ancestors of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect. Unfortunately, the ancient spirit beast suffered from the jealousy of the heavens and could not break through the ten thousand years of heavenly tribulation."

After its fall, the Two Elements Crying Crane left behind this inner core. Although you don't need to absorb a soul ring, I think it can help you achieve another accomplishment ahead of time...

Soul core. "

My God, is this the incredible resource of the Lord of Soul Beasts?!

Zhao Xuanzhen felt a shameful, strange sense of being kept by a rich woman.

Hey, you know what, it's actually pretty blissful!

Sitting upright on the shell of the Yin-Yang Spirit Coffin Turtle, Zhao Xuanzhen was immersed in meditation as his soul power drew the inner core of the Two Elements Soaring Crane closer to him.

"Click——"

Gu Yue closed the door and left. Her beautiful face had lost some of its gentleness and softness, and gained some coldness and aloofness. She exuded a domineering aura of self-importance, and what was most captivating was her pair of purple eyes.

With a flash of silver light, Gu Yue teleported to Di Tian's side and coldly said:

"Di Tian, ​​what do you want to do?"

Di Tian removed his mask, revealing his handsome and resolute appearance. He knelt on one knee with a thud and said in a deep voice:

"My lord, I don't understand!"

The Soul Beast race and humans have a deep-seated hatred for each other, so why are you being so kind to Zhao Xuanzhen! That inner core of the Two-Element Crying Crane can not only help him condense his first Yin-Yang Soul Core, but will also greatly reduce the difficulty of condensing his second Soul Core in the future!

Isn't this just creating an enemy with your own hands?

"Because he will be my Dragon Queen."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian froze instantly, his eyes widening as if he were under Medusa's gaze and unable to move.

For ten thousand years, the Emperor Beast sacrificed itself to die, was defeated by Huo Yuhao in a one-on-one battle, and the Star Dou Great Forest suffered repeated defeats under the human soul guidance technology... Di Tian's heart accumulated countless frustrations and hatred.

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, utterly disillusioned with humanity, desperately hoped that the Silver Dragon King would lead the soul beasts in a great war of revenge against humanity. However, Gu Yue actually wanted to take a human as her dragon queen!

Gu Yue slowly said, "The Golden Dragon King's divine core is missing, so I cannot become a Dragon God. Zhao Xuanzhen is not an ordinary human; he can amplify elemental power."

As long as he falls in love with me, all difficulties and troubles will be resolved, Na'er's humanity will crumble, and the Phoenix family will provide full support...

When I become the complete Silver Dragon King, control the Spirit Pagoda, and command the Soul Beast race to rule the Douluo Continent, I won't mind giving him the title of Dragon Queen.

He is mine; his strength is equal to my strength.

Di Tian suddenly realized: "Your Majesty's sacrifice is admirable. But Your Majesty must be careful of human emotions; the auspicious beast from ten thousand years ago was a prime example..."

"Don't mention that traitor who sacrificed humans!"

Gu Yue felt her dignity had been insulted and angrily said, "Has the Soul Beast Clan ever wronged her in the slightest? They actually abandoned their race for Huo Yuhao!"

"Your subordinate is guilty of failing to properly train the auspicious beasts, causing the fortune of the soul beast race to be lost!"

Gu Yue said indifferently, "The tragic fate of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is still fresh in my mind. I will not make the same mistake."

I don't want what happened before to repeat itself. Zhao Xuanzhen is the core of all our plans, and you shouldn't be targeting him. Bringing him here serves two purposes: first, to plant the seed for building the Ten Thousand Beasts Platform in advance; and second, I want him to truly stand on the side of the soul beasts.

Huo Yuhao abducted the Emperor Beast, so I'll make the most dazzling prodigy of this era switch to a Soul Beast. That's fair, right?

Finally, remember your identity, Di Tian. I am the true ruler of all soul beasts.

"I will obey Your Majesty's decree." Emperor Tian was completely convinced.

Looking at this loyal guardian who had protected her for hundreds of thousands of years, Gu Yue's expression softened slightly, and she fed him a reassuring pill:

Those who follow me will be spared; those who refuse me will be hard to tolerate.

I have my own rhythm, and everything is under control.

Chapter 95 The First Yin-Yang Soul Core, the Reclusive King Na'er, and the Sparring Partner of the Beast God Di Tian (4K)

The Ancient Castle of Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

Zhao Xuanzhen hovered above the shell of the Yin-Yang Spirit Coffin Turtle, fully circulating his soul power to absorb the vast and mighty Yin-Yang energy from the inner core of the Two Elements Soaring Crane.

Driven by soul power, the black and white energy flowed seamlessly into Zhao Xuanzhen's body. His Martial Soul True Self possessed him, and a huge humanoid phantom appeared behind him. Five soul rings, four black and one gold, were released, their surfaces shimmering with dazzling light, coating the entire room with a magnificent luster.

Intense soul power surged, fully activating the two supreme treasures left behind by the soul beasts. Yin and Yang energies filled the room, creating a mysterious and profound world. Zhao Xuanzhen's aura began to change, becoming vast, mysterious, and imbued with the timeless aura originating from his true self, all rising within the small room.

Both being ancient spirit beasts, the Two-Element Crying Crane is gentle and kind, unlike the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent which is fiery and explosive. Zhao Xuanzhen had little difficulty absorbing it, controlling the energy of the inner core to surge into his chest and forge his first soul core.

Humans have three acupoints that can accommodate the soul core: the upper dantian (between the eyebrows), the middle dantian (chest), and the lower dantian (lower abdomen).

Generally speaking, the lower dantian in the lower abdomen is the easiest place to open up, and most soul masters choose this place for their first soul core, but Zhao Xuanzhen's situation is quite special.

The original martial soul is divided into two branches: physical and spiritual. The true self is the fusion of the two branches of the strongest martial soul, and also possesses the yin and yang attributes that Zhao Xuanzhen was born with, as well as the spiritual attributes of the brain, eyes and other parts.

As times have changed, the time required to condense the first soul core has been brought forward to the level of a seven-ring Soul Saint. After Zhao Xuanzhen broke through to the level of a five-ring Soul King, he discussed the matter of soul cores with all his elders.

The three mentors who guided Zhao Xuanzhen on his path to growth—Tianfeng Douluo Leng Yaozhu, Huannao Douluo Han Tianyi, and Bentai Douluo Mu Ye—gave him the same advice: Yin-Yang Soul Core + Spirit Soul Core, in order to maximize the power of his true self.

The two soul cores must be adjacent to each other. Since the spiritual soul core occupies the upper dantian between the eyebrows, the position of the yin and yang soul cores is fixed and can only be in the middle dantian in the chest.

The chest is the core of physical strength, corresponding to the yin and yang attributes that symbolize the power of the true self and flesh and blood. It also allows the lower dantian, which is the easiest to open, to be reserved for the third soul core in the future. This way of opening up is the best of both worlds.

The Soul Core signifies that a Soul Master's Soul Power can be solidified. Under Zhao Xuanzhen's precise control, his Soul Power surged into his chest, steadily and continuously coalescing into the nascent form of a crystal core. The fusion speed of the Yin-Yang Echoing Crane's inner core continued to accelerate, and the Yin-Yang Coffin Tortoise Shell emitted a faint light. The three worked together to forge the Soul Core.

Zhao Xuanzhen's skin faintly shimmered with a jade-like luster, and his soul power had completely turned into black and white. The radiant halo he emitted resembled an endless deep pool. The spirit capybara burst out of its host's body, opening its small mouth to inhale the pure yin and yang energy.

The inner core of the Two Elements Soaring Crane was devoured and absorbed by the person and the soul. The nascent soul core on Zhao Xuanzhen's chest slowly rotated, while the four ten-thousand-year soul rings brought by Tun Tun gradually deepened in color, and the originally pitch-black soul rings flashed with a faint blood-red color.

The physical strength of a Soul Master is world-renowned, and the True Self stands at the top of the Soul Master pyramid. Zhao Xuanzhen, backed by his teacher, the Deputy Tower Master of the Spirit Transmission Tower, does not need to abide by the rule of once a month at the Spirit Ascension Platform. He can enter the Spirit Ascension Platform at any time to advance his Soul Spirit, and his Soul Ring age is frighteningly high.

Of course, Zhao Xuanzhen will not allow Lingrui the capybara to truly break through to the 100,000-year cultivation level for the time being. After all, the soul rings provided by the soul spirit are evolved synchronously, and the pressure brought by four 100,000-year soul rings is too terrifying for him to bear at present.

……

Forging a soul core is a slow process, and seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

At the dantian in his chest, space seemed to distort, and now all that could be seen was a dazzling core of light, interwoven with black and white, storing all of Zhao Xuanzhen's soul power.

The sphere of light is perfectly round, like a yin-yang symbol shrunk countless times, representing the endless cycle of yin and yang.

The black and white energy swirled and danced, gradually condensing into strange Bagua runes, which were imprinted on the eight directions of the Tai Chi pattern. Soul power flowed from there, transmitting to every corner of the body!

Yin-Yang Soul Core, complete!

The Soul Core grants Soul Masters an exceptionally fast recovery speed, and Zhao Xuanzhen's Soul Power and Spiritual Power both returned to their peak state at an astonishing pace.

Half an hour later, Zhao Xuanzhen suddenly opened his eyes, feeling refreshed and full of energy.

The inner core disappeared, and the Yin-Yang Minglan Crane completed its mission, helping Zhao Xuanzhen complete the Yin-Yang Soul Core, while also assisting the Lingrui Water Capybara in its evolution.

"Human, I have awakened a realm," Lingrui the capybara said.

"The Spiritual Domain will protect its members within its range from suppression by higher bloodlines and spiritual power."

"Tuntun, you've done a great job."

Zhao Xuanzhen kneaded the little ears of the Lingrui capybara. The capybara could only endure the man's cruel hand, powerless to resist.

The fact that the porpoise was fearless in the face of bloodline pressure was one of the reasons Zhao Xuanzhen chose it as his natal soul spirit. Zhao Xuanzhen might have a second or third soul spirit, but there was only one Spiritual Capybara. He couldn't simply force a golden-haired lion-dog whose attributes and abilities weren't suitable for his true self just to fused with Xiong Ba's talent. The Spiritual Domain had arrived at just the right time!

After playing with the Lingrui capybara for a while, Zhao Xuanzhen's soul communication device suddenly received a message notification. He looked at the screen and saw that there were 99+ messages, all from Na'er!

Zhao Xuanzhen started browsing from the beginning. On the first day of his seclusion, Na'er sent a cute kitten emoji. Seeing that Zhao Xuanzhen did not reply, the style of the message became more and more outrageous.

Beep beep beep, it's time to report!

Zhao Xuanzhen, where are you?!

What are you doing with Gu Yue...?

It's a tonic! I was here first!

Zhao Xuanzhen's lips twitched, and his fingertips slid down to see the latest message from Na'er, which revealed the silver-haired girl's utter despair.
