Star Dou Great Forest

Biodata

Geography and Inhabitants

• Outer region — Traversed by Ning Rongrong, Dugu Bo, and Dugu Yan; soul masters also enter the forest to hunt Soul Rings 42 230.
• Core Area — Home to powerful soul beasts and a base from which the forest's leaders monitor events within its territory 305 540 543.
• Senior beasts — Di Tian, Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, and Ten Thousand Demons King are among its leading figures. The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape are powerful by human standards but rank low among the forest's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts 49 227 291.
• Hidden strength — Ning Rongrong judges the forest's overall strength to exceed Spirit Hall's. Its leaders include beasts capable of rivaling Level 99 Titled Douluo, while Gu Yuena is a First Level God 42 49 291.

History

Qian Daoliu's search for the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger draws out Di Tian. Their battle shakes the forest and reveals to Qian Daoliu that its ruler can contend with him 49 50.

The forest's relationship with human factions later becomes more complex. Gu Yuena reaches an agreement with Spirit Hall: she offers help toward godhood and access to the forest's Soul Rings and Soul Bones, while seeking help to return soul beasts to the God Realm and a commitment to resurrect beasts that die or sacrifice themselves for the cause 354 355. Its cooperation with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect remains separate; Ning Rongrong explicitly rejects Di Tian's suggestion that her sect belongs to the forest's faction 489.

When Tang Chen leads Clear Sky Sect members into the Core Area to hunt Scarlet King, Di Tian arranges an ambush. Powerful beasts surround the intruders, and the sect loses two Titled Douluo 385 387 426.

The forest's leaders also disagree among themselves. Xiong Jun resents Di Tian's position and, during a later confrontation involving Spirit Hall and Tang San's group, expels the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape rather than openly aiding either side. He says he is avoiding actions that might attract the God Realm's attention 227 546.

Later, Ning Rongrong heals Di Tian after Gu Yuena wounds his soul. The Ferocious Beasts offer assistance to her sect, and Ning Rongrong proposes an alliance. She subsequently helps Di Tian escape his ninth Lightning Tribulation after he reaches 990,000 years of cultivation 672 674 677.

Resources and Defenses

• Soul Rings and Soul Bones — Gu Yuena says the forest can provide Soul Rings and has Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bones in reserve 355.
• Surveillance — Ten Thousand Demons King's detection can reach across nearly a quarter of the forest; the Core Area uses it to follow intruders and battles 392 543.
• Healing — Bi Ji treats soul beasts and is a major healing presence among the forest's leaders 194 199 227.
• Territorial control — During the Clear Sky Sect ambush, soul beasts occupy routes by land, air, and underground, making escape difficult even for Tang Chen's group 387.
