The Upper Two Sects Join Forces, Xiong Jun and Myriad Demon King Complete Their Possessions!

Tang Chen's solemn gaze swept over the Clear Sky Sect elders in attendance.

One of the older elders stepped forward, cupped his hands, and spoke slowly.

"Sect Master, according to our scouts' latest reports, the matter of Whale Rubber is indeed true.

"Besides improving a Soul Master's physical constitution, Whale Rubber can also break through the age limit on the soul rings a Soul Master can absorb.

"Besides that, of course, it also has aphrodisiac and virility-enhancing effects for adults..."

"That's right, the first elder is correct. The Black Dragon Sect's monopoly on Whale Rubber poses a great threat to us."

"Yes, old sect master. In the future, this extraordinary effect of Whale Rubber could well change the balance of Soul Masters on the continent."

The elders spoke up one after another, describing the importance of Whale Rubber and the monopoly held by Black Dragon Mountain and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But no one said how to resolve it.

There were only two ways to deal with it: throw money at the problem or use force.

The Clear Sky Sect did have some money, but it lacked the financial resources of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Throwing money at the problem would certainly mean enormous losses.

Using force meant taking it outright.

But everyone had heard about the sight of Qian Daoliu suspended in the air, spilling blood a hundred years ago. That plan seemed unlikely to work either.

Just then, two burly young men suddenly stepped forward.

They exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Grandfather, we can just negotiate with the Black Dragon Sect. If he won't give us Whale Rubber, we'll smash his Black Dragon Mountain."

The two who spoke were none other than the Clear Sky Twin Stars.

Tang Xiao and Tang Hao, the most promising young men in the Clear Sky Sect.

When Tang Hao heard this, he was about to curse them out.

But then he noticed they were his grandsons.

He waved a hand. "A frontal assault won't do. The Black Dragon Sect master is very strong too."

"Hiss!"

At those words, the young disciples present sucked in a breath of cold air.

There was actually someone who could earn the old sect master's praise?

The old sect master was already a level ninety-nine Limit Douluo!

Besides his immense Soul Power, he had Ring Detonation, the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, and all sorts of other renowned techniques.

Just who was this person?

A seed of doubt was planted in the young disciples' hearts.

The Clear Sky Sect's main hall fell deathly silent for a time. No one knew how to proceed with the matter of Whale Rubber.

Suddenly, a pretty female disciple spoke up:

"Old Sect Master, I believe Whale Rubber now concerns the balance of power on the continent. Besides our Clear Sky Sect, the other sects must be troubled by it too. Why not discuss it with them? Surely a meeting will produce a solution."

"Oh, you mean the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect?"

Tang Chen guessed it at once.

Then he thought it over.

Indeed, the female disciple had a point.

After Tang Hao told the elders to reward the female disciple,

he turned into a blur and left the Clear Sky Sect.

Meanwhile, at the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect,

the new sect master, Yu Yuanzhen, had just taken office. He paced back and forth in the main hall, deeply worried.

The sole reason was the recent matter of Whale Rubber on the continent.

Since the Black Dragon Sect had discovered Whale Rubber's marvelous use for Soul Masters, its price had been driven sky-high.

Even factions like the Upper Three Sects balked at the price of ten-thousand-year and hundred-thousand-year Whale Rubber.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had held meetings for several days in a row, but had yet to come up with a reasonably satisfactory solution.

Just then, a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon disciple suddenly stumbled through the door.

"Sect Master, His Excellency Haotian is here."

"Hm?" Yu Yuanzhen frowned, suppressed his irritation, and went out to greet Tang Chen.

The two smiled at each other and cheerfully entered the council hall.

Tang Chen dispensed with pleasantries and got straight to the point. "Nephew Yuanzhen, I won't beat around the bush. I came today to discuss the matter of Whale Rubber with you."

Hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen tensed. He seemed lost in thought, and his face twitched unnaturally.

Yu Yuanzhen hurriedly suppressed his heavy emotions. "What advice do you have, Uncle Chen? Please speak plainly. My father has recently gone into seclusion to make a breakthrough, but I can still make this decision."

"Haha, working with a smart man certainly is convenient. Sect Master Yu, in my opinion, we can only take a forceful stand in the matter of Whale Rubber. There's no way to outwit them."

Tang Chen laughed heartily. Then his expression changed, and he addressed Yu Yuanzhen as Sect Master Yu instead of nephew as he explained the details.

"Since those scoundrels from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have already thrown in their lot with the Black Dragon Sect, it's absolutely impossible to get a share of the spoils by investing Gold Soul Coins. Anyone who even thinks of it will surely end up the biggest sucker of all!

"So I think we should join forces with others to put pressure on the Black Dragon Sect.

"After all, they've monopolized Whale Rubber like this, caring only about developing and strengthening their own sect. The other factions are bound to have concerns."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded lightly. "Rest assured, Uncle Chen. I'll persuade the Heaven Dou Empire."

"That's all I need to hear, Sect Master Yu. I'll visit that old fellow at Spirit Hall. Once we've gathered everyone, we'll go to Black Dragon Mountain together."

"Understood. Farewell, Your Excellency Haotian." Yu Yuanzhen cupped his hands.

Meanwhile, in a cave in the Star Dou Great Forest,

"Roar~!!!"

A boy let out an inhuman sound, a roar just like a bear's.

Yet the sound was full of a king's domineering might.

The six-year-old boy sensed his Martial Soul: the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

Level fifteen Innate Soul Power.

"Damn it, I'm so damn weak right now."

This was none other than Xiong Jun, who had possessed a body to cultivate anew.

He had followed Di Tian's advice and chosen a five-year-old child from among the Human Race forces he had fostered.

The possession had gone exceptionally smoothly, and he had directly awakened the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear as his Martial Soul.

But his weak body still left him grumbling.

Xiong Jun only groused a couple of times, though, before hurrying to cultivate.

He took out the Human Race meditation method he had prepared long ago, water from the Lake of Life, and Soul Bones of matching ages.

His gaze swept over the pile of Soul Bones.

Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones and Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones were arranged in order.

These Soul Bones also contained a terrifying amount of Ultimate Gold, with seventy percent of the power from Xiong Jun's previous cultivation as a Ferocious Beast stored inside them.

But Xiong Jun, now a mere little brat, could only look. His body was too weak to absorb the power of the Soul Bones.

He could only soak his body in water from the Lake of Life and use the meditation method to condense his spiritual power, relying on these simple methods to improve slowly.

As Di Tian's old rival, he was anxious.

He wanted to keep advancing ahead of Di Tian, become a Titled Douluo, then a Limit Douluo... and become a god first, too.

I will become the co-ruler of the Soul Beasts.

This grand ambition rang out in Xiong Jun's heart!

Suddenly, he thought of something.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Someone, get in here!"

His childish voice held no authority at all, but... within a few minutes, the Dark Gold Sect master came in person.

He dropped to his knees. "My king, what are your orders?"

"Hurry up and cook me some Whale Rubber!" Xiong Jun roared.

"Understood, my king."

At the same time, the other Ferocious Beasts were also quite busy.

Scarlet King, for instance.

He was beside himself with anxiety, yet there was nothing he could do.

The Scarlet Demon Mastiffs had established their own sect on Red Mastiff Mountain, where the disciples had passed down their lineage for generation after generation.

There were more than a dozen children, but only three were normal. The other children's Martial Souls had either mutated upon awakening, or they had failed to inherit even the Scarlet Demon Mastiff Martial Soul of his subordinates.

Let alone his desire to possess a body with the superior Two-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff or Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff Martial Soul.

"Ah!"

Scarlet King roared and shouted, putting pressure on the nominal sect master of Red Mastiff Mountain every day.

Chen Yufei spent every day on tenterhooks. He had already married twenty wives and fathered quite a few children, but his descendants' talent was simply ordinary. There was nothing he could do either.

Meanwhile, in the outskirts of the Sunset Forest,

the Ghost Eye Shoal sect had been built in a shoal.

On this day, a green light shone brightly, and wood-attribute Soul Power fluctuated intensely.
