Sunny River Mountain Range, the Target of the Fourth Soul Ring! (Please Follow and Read!!!)

"You've made too many moves behind the scenes on the Douluo Continent!"

Only after destruction could there be rebirth.

Only after war could a unified Douluo Continent develop better.

Only when the subordinate planes grew strong could the God Realm expand and prosper.

Last time, Tang San had interfered in the Sun Moon Empire's War of Unification. Even though he had not acted personally, he had still caused that campaign to fail, leaving the Douluo Continent divided among four nations. The God of Destruction was extremely dissatisfied.

Besides, he had merely collected hidden weapons and studied their principles. It was not as if he had directly stolen your inheritance. (There was an issue with the previous chapter's wording, and it has been corrected. Kong Deming went to the Tang Sect Ruins to search for the inheritance and finished hidden weapons.)

Did studying an opponent's weapons count as theft?

Tang San sighed inwardly.

He hadn't stolen my inheritance, but he had set his sights on the structure of hidden weapons!

The combination of hidden weapons and soul tools was the foundation of my plan to revive the Tang Sect!

Now that Destruction had his eye on it, this was truly troublesome.

The God of Destruction warned Tang San not to interfere with the workings of the Lower Realm without authorization.

"Also, that girl's aptitude is insufficient. No matter what, she cannot become a god."

"I know."

"You know, yet you still have designs on that Nineteen Thousand Years Blue Silver Emperor!" the God of Destruction said coldly.

I might be willing to turn a blind eye to your other affairs and let you muddle through them, but using resources my wife prepared to cultivate a successor on someone destined to never become a god is going too far!

That Nineteen Thousand Years Blue Silver Emperor was something the God of Life had prepared to nurture a successor.

If she happened to encounter a suitable successor someday, a soul ring close to two hundred thousand years would be immensely useful.

Tang San was helpless and firmly denied it.

What a headache.

Kong Deming had triggered the backup plan he left behind, drawing his attention. When he acted against Kong Deming, he drew the God of Destruction's attention as well.

Under the God of Destruction's scrutiny, he discovered the backup plan's original purpose, along with all the arrangements around the Tang Sect. He also noticed the problem with Tang Ya's martial soul, and actually suspected that he, Pure and Spotless Young Master Tang San, intended to seize that Blue Silver Emperor. As a result, his watch over Tang San became even tighter.

"Ah..."

"What! You're Level Forty?"

Jing Hongchen was a complete mess at the moment, with unshaven stubble and unkempt hair.

For the past half year, he had conducted extensive research every day, carrying an immense workload, yet he felt exceptionally fulfilled inside.

He could not remember how long it had been since he had immersed himself so completely in researching soul tools.

He was addicted to this state.

After half a year of research, Jing Hongchen had preliminarily completed Fusion Soul Tool Technology, which further integrated soul tools with soul masters. He had already begun attempting to apply this technology to the creation of his own Soul Tool Armor.

Over the past half year, Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen had also been dragged in as his assistants, while he took the opportunity to teach them soul tool crafting techniques.

A month ago, Xiao Hongchen had reached the standard of a Fifth-Level Soul Engineer in every respect. However, limited by his Soul Power, he had not truly produced a Fifth Level Soul Tool.

At the time, Xiao Hongchen's Soul Power was also on the verge of a breakthrough, so he had not rushed to craft a Fifth Level Soul Tool beyond his level.

Finally, half a month ago, he broke through to Level Fifty!

Meng Hongchen's cultivation had not fallen behind either.

Before the Soul Fighting Tournament, the siblings' goal was to reach the Soul King realm.

The siblings possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and when they cultivated together, their Cultivation Speed far surpassed that of ordinary people. With the cultivation resources provided by Jing Hongchen, their progress was even more astonishing.

Meng Hongchen had not slowed down after breaking through Level 48, and a month ago, she advanced to Level 49.

During that time, she had consumed quite a few pills, with obvious results.

Meng Hongchen's martial soul contained Cold Poison, which would cause backlash to its soul master during cultivation. Under normal circumstances, she had to carefully suppress the Cold Poison whenever she cultivated. Yet over the past half year, she had relied on large quantities of medicine to suppress her martial soul's backlash and regulate the Cold Poison that had invaded her body. Without needing to worry about the Cold Poison's backlash, her Cultivation Speed increased greatly.

Moreover, in order to reach her goal, she had taken medicine more aggressively than Su Yu, and in return, her Soul Power rose even faster.

She had a chance of breaking through Level Fifty within three months.

The siblings' Fifth Soul Rings would both require hunting Ten Thousand Year soul beasts, which would take considerable effort. Jing Hongchen had already been under pressure.

Now that Su Yu had also broken through Level Forty, his Fourth Soul Ring would likewise need a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring!

Kong Deming was no longer in the Sun Moon Empire, so Jing Hongchen could only help him obtain this soul ring himself.

Within a short period of time, all three of them needed to obtain Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Jing Hongchen set down his research and analyzed the current situations of the three.

If they wanted greater compatibility, Meng Hongchen's soul ring would be best obtained in the Far North Land.

The most suitable soul beasts for Xiao Hongchen were Metal Attribute soul beasts in the Sunny River Mountain Range.

Su Yu's case was much more troublesome. He needed to find a Life Attribute soul beast.

On the Douluo Continent, if Spirit Attribute soul rings were the hardest to find, then Life Attribute soul rings were the second hardest—especially Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

Jing Hongchen decided to first take Su Yu and Xiao Hongchen to hunt Soul Beasts.

Obtaining Soul Rings might not be easy for either of them, and it could take quite some time.

By the time the two of them acquired their Soul Rings, Meng Hongchen would likely have broken through as well. Then, he would take Meng Hongchen to the Far North Land to hunt for a Soul Ring.

"Make your preparations. We leave in three days."

They did not set out immediately because Jing Hongchen needed to adjust his condition as well.

Hunting Soul Beasts was not something to take lightly. As their Dao Protector, his condition was equally crucial.

If his own mistake caused him to be too late in rescuing them during a battle with a Soul Beast, that would be a truly serious dereliction of duty.

Neither Xiao Hongchen nor Su Yu could afford even the slightest carelessness.

Three days later.

Jing Hongchen was full of vigor, his aura steady. He was clearly in far better condition than he had been three days earlier.

Jing Hongchen took out a Soul Tool resembling a pair of wings, with three cylindrical exhaust ports on each side.

"This is a Flying Soul Tool."

Jing Hongchen personally operated it and demonstrated how to use the Flying Soul Tool.

Su Yu copied his movements and quickly got the hang of it.

The level-four Flying Soul Tool was extremely fast, and it traveled in a straight line through the air. In merely Five Days, they flew from Ming Capital to the Sunny River Mountain Range.

"The Soul Beasts of the Sunny River Mountain Range generally possess the Metal Attribute. Even species that exist elsewhere have Mutated Species here with the Metal Attribute.

Xiao's Fifth Soul Ring needs to make up for his weakness, so he should choose a Defense Type Soul Ring. There are many Soul Beasts that meet Xiao's requirements. What we need to do is select the one most suitable for him.

Su Yu, do you have any requirements for your Fourth Soul Ring?"

"Actually, any Peak Soul Beast primarily possessing the Life Attribute will do," Su Yu replied.

The Corner of Jing Hongchen's Mouth Twitched.

What did he mean, "will do"?

Su Yu continued, "I looked into the records. There are not many Soul Beasts with the Life Attribute in the Sunny River Mountain Range, and they are difficult to find. But any that can survive here are Peak Soul Beasts."

Seeing that Su Yu had come prepared, Jing Hongchen asked, "Do you have a specific target?"

"Sword Grass!"
