Asura Valley Conflict

Since Shrek Academy and Blue Tyrant Academy merged, Liu Erlong had handed the new Blue Tyrant Academy over to Flender, giving him full authority. Every day, she went sightseeing with Huang Tian and Tang Yuehua, while at night, the three cultivated together.

Flender truly deserved his reputation as a veteran dean. His management skills were quite impressive. In just one day, he had grasped the academy's entire structure, and within three days, he had integrated its upper management. With the addition of more than a dozen teachers from the former Shrek Academy, the pressure on the teaching staff was eased. As for the former Shrek Seven Devils, now the Lanba Seven Devils, they continued to be taught by Yu Xiaogang. After all, only he was qualified for that job.

In an unnamed mountain range three thousand kilometers away, Yue Guan and Gui Mei of Spirit Hall were leading Spirit Hall members in a search of the mountains. According to a clue they had found in ancient books, this place was highly likely to be where the Asura God's Remnant Thought resided. Back then, a team of soul masters had entered this place. Within ten minutes, their minds were unknowingly invaded by the aura inadvertently emitted by the Asura God's Remnant Thought. After they emerged, everyone became irritable and belligerent, often fighting viciously over trivial matters. When they got carried away, they struck without mercy and killed one another. Only one soul master survived, and based on his recollections, he later recorded the strange aspects of this place.

After repeated assessments, Spirit Hall believed that this place was very likely the location of the Asura God's Remnant Thought. Yue Guan and Gui Mei were extremely confident in the strength of the people they had brought. Believing they could certainly subdue the Asura God's Remnant Thought, which was like a dead object, they led their subordinates on a nonstop journey toward this place.

Little did they know that Huang Tian had long since claimed this place as his territory and named it Asura Valley. Four years ago, while exploring dangerous places such as deep mountains and vast marshlands alone, he discovered this valley. Its terrain was steep and treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, making it an excellent location for a secret base. Thus, it became one of Yanhuang Hall's secret bases.

To guard this place, he had dispatched thirty elders at the Title Douluo level and more than two hundred Soul Douluo, firmly controlling everything within a ten-kilometer radius. Even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts passing through the area would be driven away and forbidden from entering.

There was no Asura God's Remnant Thought in Asura Valley at all. There were only several thousand children receiving guidance from soul masters and training to become Battle Spirit Masters. These children were the new generation of Yanhuang Hall, meant to stop Spirit Hall from launching a rebellion once they had grown up in a few years.

If Huang Tian knew that Spirit Hall had come here in search of the Asura God's Remnant Thought, hoping to uncover the secret of becoming gods, he could only say that Bibi Dong was overthinking it. It was merely a God's Remnant Thought—how could it possibly contain the secret to becoming a god? Becoming a god was very simple. One had to find a suitable god position; only by inheriting that god position could one become a deity.

However, god positions were rule-based creations of heaven and earth. They simply did not exist on this Douluo Continent. Only when a deity in the God Realm fell would a god position become vacant. Only the person most compatible with that god position was qualified to inherit it and become a new deity.

Even though Huang Tian was now a level-one-hundred soul master who had become a god, and all his Soul Power had transformed into divine power, he still had not found a suitable god position to inherit. A deity without a god position held no status in the God Realm, so he could only be considered a false god. However, with his current strength as a Third-Rank Deity, he could still become a Divine Official as long as he accepted an appointment from the God Realm.

Ordinary soul masters did not know this. Under the law that the strong were respected, Huang Tian, who possessed the strength of a deity, was still worthy of their reverence. After all, he was the third soul master on the Douluo Continent to become a god at level one hundred.

"Quick, we're almost there! Pick up the pace, everyone! As long as we find the Asura God's Remnant Thought, His Holiness the Pontiff will reward us handsomely!"

From afar came Yue Guan's androgynous, eerily affected voice. Ordinary people would surely feel their scalps tingle upon hearing it, but his subordinates had heard it often enough to grow accustomed to it. At his urging, they quickened their steps, increasing their speed once more.

"Yue Guan, why are you rushing us so hard? The brothers have been traveling nonstop and are exhausted! They don't have strength like ours." Gui Mei clasped his hands behind his back as he hurried along and spoke.

Yue Guan said coldly, "It has already been ten days since the Peerless Prodigy Ranking was announced. If we don't hurry up and find the God's Remnant Thought, His Holiness the Pontiff will be furious. By then, neither of us will be able to keep our lives!"

Gui Mei's gossiping instincts flared up. "Do you think His Holiness the Pontiff is in such a hurry to send us out searching for the God's Remnant Thought because she wants to quickly find the secret to becoming a god? After all, becoming a god allows one to reconstruct one's body!"

"Ahem, Old Ghost, you actually dare say that? We joined Spirit Hall to enjoy wealth and glory. If you think you've lived long enough, go say that in front of His Holiness the Pontiff! Just don't drag me down with you." Yue Guan rolled his eyes at Gui Mei and said irritably.

"Little Guan Guan, I was only gossiping. Don't worry, for your sake, I still want to live a few more decades!" Gui Mei said affectionately.

"Oh, Old Ghost, how could you say something like that out loud?" Yue Guan said coyly.

The subordinates had long grown used to the flirtatious exchanges between their two leaders. They understood perfectly well and simply pretended not to hear. Who would dare gossip about the unusual preferences of two Title Douluo? That would only bring about a fatal disaster!

They served Spirit Hall for money and cultivation resources. They had no desire to invite misfortune from the heavens and be killed by their leaders over a careless remark.

"Stop! There's an ambush ahead!" Yue Guan sensed several auras ahead whose cultivation was no weaker than his own, and hurriedly called for his subordinates to halt.

"Old Ghost, go scout ahead and see who got here before us." Yue Guan looked at Gui Mei with some concern. "Be careful. Make sure you come back safely!"

"Alright, don't worry!" Gui Mei nodded at Yue Guan. Then his entire body vanished.

Five minutes later, Gui Mei rushed back covered in injuries and shouted, "Little Guan Guan, run! There are more than twenty Title Douluo here. We've trespassed into someone else's territory!"

Yue Guan steadied Gui Mei, took out a bottle of pills from his robes, opened it, and poured out one. "Old Ghost, take this quickly. Don't let your injuries worsen."

After swallowing the pill, Gui Mei said in panic, "Don't just stand here, hurry and leave! Didn't you hear what I just said? This is someone else's territory, and there are more than twenty Title Douluo! They noticed me, and I fought them. I only escaped their encirclement because I was fast enough. Hurry up! If they catch up, we won't be able to escape."

"More than twenty Title Douluo... Even Spirit Hall can't produce that many people at once. It seems this really is someone else's base. The rumors recorded in the ancient texts were false! Then again, those records are thousands of years old. The world has changed beyond recognition, and everything is no longer what it once was. I foolishly believed there was a God's Remnant Thought here. Sigh, Old Ghost, I've let you down. Brothers, retreat!"

Supporting Gui Mei, Yue Guan spoke resentfully and immediately ordered his subordinates to withdraw. Gui Mei was already injured. Alone, he could not withstand a beating from multiple Title Douluo. If they did not leave now, when would they?

"Yes, Elder."

The subordinates hurriedly retreated. Their lives were more important; they could not die here just because they delayed for even a moment.
