Douluo Calendar..., the Angel God descended, purged all Fallen Soul Masters from the continent, established Spirit Hall, then ascended and departed.

Douluo Calendar..., the Heaven Dou Empire was established...

Douluo Calendar..., the Star Luo Empire was established...

Douluo Calendar..., Spirit Hall exterminated all remaining Fallen Soul Masters across Douluo Continent...

Douluo Calendar..., numerous sects in the Soul Master World competed for the title of number one sect. Among them, seven sects stood out and became the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects.

Upper Three Sects: Clear Sky Sect, whose inherited Martial Soul was the Number One Weapon Martial Soul Under Heaven, the Clear Sky Hammer; Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whose inherited Martial Soul was the Number One Auxiliary Martial Soul Under Heaven; Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, whose inherited Martial Soul was the Number One Beast Martial Soul Under Heaven, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon...

Lower Four Sects: Fire Leopard Sect..., Elephant Armored Sect..., Wind Sword Sect..., Holy Dragon Sect...

In the year 2602 of the Douluo Calendar, the current Pope, Bibi Dong, was appointed Saintess...

In the year 2631 of the Douluo Calendar, the previous Pope died unexpectedly. Saintess Bibi Dong inherited the position of Pope and was suspected to have broken through to Titled Douluo. That same year, the Clear Sky Sect sealed off its mountain and vanished from the Soul Master World.

The above events are a brief intelligence report on Douluo Continent. This subject, Li Gang, has temporarily established himself in Vast Sea City of the Heaven Dou Empire and will continue gathering intelligence for the Empire. I await Your Majesty's prompt decision on how to proceed.

After extensive inquiries, this subject has preliminarily concluded that Douluo Continent is no smaller than Sun Moon Continent. It is home to many powerful Soul Masters, with no shortage of Titled Douluo. Its population is preliminarily estimated to exceed two hundred million. Its overall strength is not inferior to our Sun Moon Empire, and its Soul Master forces are formidable. However, for unknown reasons, Soul Tool technology on Douluo Continent has nearly vanished. This may become the Empire's opening.

May 26th, 2637 of the Douluo Calendar.

Xu Tianyang quickly scanned the intelligence in his hands. When his gaze fell upon the final date, delight immediately surged through his heart.

This was the point where the story had only just begun. Tang San's Martial Soul had just awakened, and everything was still possible.

"Father, what kind of attitude do you think we should take toward Douluo Continent?" Xu Tianyang set down the intelligence and turned to Xu Yunxiao, who was studying a map nearby.

This map had been sent back along with the intelligence. It showed the rough geographical layout of Douluo Continent.

Based on the sea route, Sun Moon Continent lay west of Douluo Continent. If the two continents collided as they had in history, then the positions of the three nations should be more or less the same.

Hearing Xu Tianyang's question, Xu Yunxiao raised his head and gestured to Mu Mengyu nearby. "Take another look at the intelligence sent back by the Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Regiment."

Xu Tianyang took the intelligence from his mother and rapidly read through it. A look of surprise, followed by realization, appeared in his eyes.

"According to the Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Regiment's reconnaissance, Sun Moon Continent is currently moving slowly toward Douluo Continent. We don't yet know whether Douluo Continent is moving as well. Assuming it isn't, at Sun Moon Continent's current speed, the two continents will collide in two years at most. In no more than a year, Sun Moon Continent will be visible from Douluo Continent's coastline. There is simply no possibility of hiding."

Mu Mengyu's grave voice followed. "We must prepare for the worst. The Empire currently holds the initiative. We still have time to learn about them, while they know nothing about us. That is our advantage."

"The Sun Moon Empire fears no challenge!" Xu Yunxiao declared in a calm, steady voice.

"Father, Mother, in my opinion, the outcome may not necessarily be the worst one." Looking at his solemn parents, Xu Tianyang casually raised the intelligence in his hand.

Knowing more than they did, he understood far better than the two of them, who had only begun to learn about Douluo Continent, that Douluo Continent could never unite. And how could an ununited Douluo Continent stand against a unified Sun Moon Continent?

One new Soul Tool technology after another had been put into practice, and Forging had made breakthroughs. The Soul Tools of Sun Moon Continent were on the verge of being upgraded, and their strength was rapidly advancing.

Douluo Continent, on the other hand, was riddled with internal conflicts. The hatred between Heaven Dou and Star Luo ran deep. Add in that lunatic woman Bibi Dong, along with the various conflicts among the Upper Three Sects, and as long as they advanced steadily, their chances were still great.

The only force on Douluo Continent that Sun Moon Continent needed to treat with caution was Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall was still far too powerful for the current Sun Moon Empire.

Fortunately, Spirit Hall itself was not completely united either.

Qian Daoliu was indeed powerful, practically invincible in this age.

With his Level 99 Angel Martial Soul, no one on Sun Moon Continent besides the Evil Emperor could contend with him. Fortunately, the old man was a shut-in. In the past century, aside from relocating after his son's death, he had remained holed up in the Worship Hall. Still, they could not let down their guard.

Xu Yunxiao and Mu Mengyu were also drawn in by Xu Tianyang's words. His gaze slowly settled on the intelligence regarding the Clear Sky Sect.

"That is true. Douluo Continent is far more interesting than our Sun Moon Continent." Xu Yunxiao was no fool; he immediately understood the hidden connection.

The previous Pope of Spirit Hall had barely died when the number one sect under heaven sealed off its mountain. With his years of experience in power, he could tell there had to be some connection between them.

"We have no more than two years. This period is our opportunity. This concerns the entire continent, so my husband must gather the ministers and discuss it properly."

"Issue the decree. In three days, the Empire's Soul Douluo, eighth-rank Soul Engineers, and barons shall convene a grand court assembly!"

"Oh, right." Watching his father issue orders, Xu Tianyang recalled something else and asked curiously, "Father, now that we've found Douluo Continent, what about Sea God Island?"

At Xu Tianyang's question, Xu Yunxiao's expression immediately turned serious. He said in a low voice, "The search for Sea God Island has been put on hold for now. Those people only know its general location. The fleet sent to investigate previously encountered extremely terrifying Sea Soul Beasts along the way. They even encountered a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. To avoid casualties, I decided to temporarily suspend the search for Sea God Island."

"And... Sea God—do gods truly exist in this world?" As he spoke, confusion appeared in both Xu Yunxiao's and Mu Mengyu's eyes.

Since the Sun Moon Empire's records began, the strongest existence had been the ruler of Evil Demon Forest, the Evil Emperor. Yet even its strength was only at Level 99, still far from the legendary realm of gods.

Sea God Island was said to be the Sea God's territory. Whether that was true or not, they had no intention of provoking him.

"That is for the best." For some reason, Xu Tianyang felt relieved upon hearing this. Bo Saixi was an invincible existence at sea, and deep beneath the ocean lurked the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who was nearing a million years of cultivation. Neither could be matched on the sea. No matter how many people Sun Moon Continent sent, they would merely be throwing their lives away. He truly feared that his father would pursue Sea God Island without hesitation for the sake of chasing the legend of gods.

"For now, we should focus on Douluo Continent and breakthroughs in Soul Tools!"

"That is the foundation upon which our Sun Moon Empire stands!"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was located amid the mountains southwest of Heaven Dou City.

This sort of location was quite common. Most sects were established in such places. On one hand, they were far from the bustling city and could gather resources from the surrounding mountains. On the other, they could use the unique natural terrain to establish all kinds of Simulated Training Grounds.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was an enormous castle, mainly composed of various towers, giving it a grand and imposing air.

Many of the towers were built halfway up the mountains, surrounded by mist and clouds. They exuded an immortal aura without losing their majesty.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi sat in the sect master's seat at the center of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's council hall.

In the seat to his left sat an elderly man with only a few strands of hair. Though tall, he was skin and bones, and his appearance was somewhat frightening. He was Bone Douluo Gu Rong, known as the strongest in defense and the most bizarre, a Level 95 Titled Douluo.

To his right sat a white-haired elder with the bearing of an immortal. If one stared at him for long, it felt as though one was not looking at a person, but at a divine sword capable of cleaving apart all things in the world.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, known as the strongest in attack, a Level 96 Titled Douluo.

After a long silence in the hall, Ning Fengzhi set down the Gold-Embossed Invitation in his hand. Thought flickered through his eyes. "The Myriad Treasures Pavilion suddenly appeared in Heaven Dou City half a year ago. It primarily sells pills, precious metals, and all sorts of treasures. The pills that can accelerate cultivation have driven all the major factions mad. Now they are actually holding an auction. What are they plotting?"

"Why worry, Fengzhi? Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is wealthy beyond compare. What treasure could we not afford? There just happens to be a Soul Refining Pill this time. We can buy it for Rongrong. I believe Rongrong can break through to Soul Grandmaster at the age of eight and break the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's record." Gu Rong gave a strange laugh. At the thought of Ning Rongrong, his eyes filled with affection.

"Old Bones is right. With the three of us in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, no matter what the Myriad Treasures Pavilion is plotting, there is nothing to fear." Chen Xin was more meticulous than Gu Rong. He had sensed Ning Fengzhi's unease. Though he did not know its source, he trusted the sword in his hand to cut through every obstacle.

"Sigh!" Looking at Chen Xin and Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi sighed with a headache. "It is not that I am overthinking. The Myriad Treasures Pavilion's origins are unknown. Even the imperial family has failed to uncover their background. Over the past half year, quite a few Soul Masters have targeted them. Soul Saints have even acted against them, yet they still stand firm in Heaven Dou City."

"The strength hidden by the Myriad Treasures Pavilion is definitely no small matter. But what exactly is their purpose?"

"Could it be Spirit Hall... No, that cannot be right. If Spirit Hall had such things, they would not take them out to benefit others. But there are only so many renowned experts on the continent. Could these people have appeared out of thin air?"

"Fengzhi, you are thinking too much. Whatever hidden purpose the Myriad Treasures Pavilion has, they will reveal their hand sooner or later. Perhaps it will be at this auction." Gu Rong's eyes flickered as he spoke in a faint voice.

"Then Uncle Sword can accompany me when the time comes. We will first visit Qinghe and see whether he has any information about them..."

"Daddy..."

Hearing the voice from the doorway, Ning Fengzhi and the other two immediately stopped talking. Tender affection appeared in all three pairs of eyes as they looked at the petite figure at the entrance.

"Hahaha..."

"Rongrong, come quickly to Bone Grandpa..."

At the same time, invitation after invitation was swiftly delivered to the various factions across Douluo Continent. Some, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, were filled with doubt, while others did not care.

Thanks to the reputation the Myriad Treasures Pavilion had built over the past half year, especially through its cultivation-aiding pills, it had become a prized prize in the eyes of all the major factions.

Upon learning that the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was holding an auction, they all set out for Heaven Dou City without prior arrangement.

For a time, Heaven Dou City gathered a vast number of forces from across Douluo Continent, creating an unprecedented spectacle.
