The Coming Unification!

Xu Tianyang gazed at the expectation in Xu Yunxiao's eyes and nodded heavily. A longing surged within him—a longing for power.

"Next, Mother will teach you the Meditation Method."

Xu Yunxiao quickly left to arrange for someone to capture that hundred-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant, while Mu Mengyu stayed behind to guide Xu Tianyang through his first meditation.

Xu Tianyang's childish little face was filled with seriousness as he listened carefully to Mu Mengyu's teachings in the room.

"Martial Souls are powers humans are born with. Everyone can awaken a Martial Soul at the age of six. Some fail to awaken one at six, but later awaken under the stimulation of various unexpected changes."

"This is our Martial Soul. Over the past few years, you have read quite a few books about Soul Masters, so I will not go into too much detail about Martial Souls. Nearly all the books you have read contain introductions to them."

This basic knowledge was nothing more than Soul Master Rank Titles, Soul Ring Age Colors, the existence of Soul Bones, the classifications of Soul Masters, and what each type of Soul Master specialized in.

Xu Tianyang had long learned these things from the royal collection. He had even dabbled in the knowledge of Soul Engineers, so Mu Mengyu did not repeat such unhelpful information. It was all available in books anyway. What she was focusing on now was the Meditation Method that assisted Soul Masters in cultivation.

"The Meditation Method, as its name suggests, requires you to empty your mind and draw the Heaven and Earth Origin Power in the air into yourself, turning it into your own strength. The royal family has its own Meditation Method, which is far more efficient than those outside. Pay close attention and feel it carefully."

As she spoke, Mu Mengyu moved behind Xu Tianyang and pressed her palm against the center of his back. A gentle stream of Soul Power flowed from her palm and entered Xu Tianyang's body.

Xu Tianyang immediately suppressed the restless Soul Power within him, held his breath, and focused his mind. He used his consciousness to guide a trace of Soul Power through his body, following Mu Mengyu's vast Soul Power as it circulated and revolved, stirring the potential buried deep within his flesh.

After guiding Xu Tianyang's Soul Power through Three Major Cycles, Mu Mengyu withdrew her own Soul Power. By then, Xu Tianyang was already able to circulate his Soul Power according to the Meditation Method on his own and cultivate.

She did not interrupt Xu Tianyang's cultivation.

Every Soul Master's first cultivation session was extremely important. The longer the first session lasted, the better that Soul Master's cultivation talent was. The longer one cultivated, the more Heaven and Earth Origin Power that Martial Soul could contain. The most obvious manifestation of this was the speed at which a Soul Master's rank increased.

This could also be considered a form of test.

Of course, this method was not absolute. The difference lay in Innate Soul Power. Even if someone with level-one Innate Soul Power meditated for an hour, the results would never compare to someone with Innate Full Soul Power meditating for ten minutes.

Seeing Xu Tianyang gradually enter a good state, Mu Mengyu silently left the room. Outside, Xu Yunxiao stood quietly some distance away, gazing at the distant sky. He seemed to have been standing there for quite some time.

"Yang'er has entered Deep Meditation?!"

When Mu Mengyu came to his side, Xu Yunxiao glanced toward the room, took his wife's slender, jade-white hand, and said gently.

"Yes. Yang'er's talent is the best I have ever seen. He entered Deep Meditation during his very first cultivation session." Leaning quietly against her husband's shoulder, Mu Mengyu spoke softly.

The couple silently enjoyed this rare moment of tranquility. After a long while, Xu Yunxiao's apologetic voice sounded above Mu Mengyu's head.

"Mengyu, do you blame me?"

"For putting such great pressure on Yang'er?"

Mu Mengyu's body trembled faintly at his words, but she quickly calmed herself. Nestled in Xu Yunxiao's embrace, she gently shook her head. "This is the responsibility he ought to bear."

"If he did not possess Twin Martial Souls, if he did not have Innate Full Soul Power, I would naturally arrange everything for him. In the future, he would become the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire and live out his life safely and peacefully."

"But since Yang'er has awakened such talent, then he must shoulder this burden."

"For the royal family, for the countless citizens of the Sun Moon Empire, and even more so for himself."

Xu Yunxiao's voice was somewhat low. At some point, his resolute eyes had become bloodshot, and a trace of pain showed within them.

"I know. Yang'er will definitely be able to change the Sun Moon Empire's current situation and keep it from suffering the Beast Tide's attacks." Feeling the pain in her husband's heart, Mu Mengyu looked into Xu Yunxiao's eyes with complete confidence.

Feeling his wife's concern and confidence, the gloom in Xu Yunxiao's heart immediately dispersed by more than half. His usual vigor returned to his face as he laughed. "Hahahaha, that's right. My son will definitely be able to do it."

"Husband, should we change the cultivation resources Yang'er needs? After all, the more of those pills he takes, the firmer the shackles that will form when he breaks through in the future." Seeing that her husband had regained his usual spirit, Mu Mengyu asked quietly.

"Yes, you are right. Using pills to cultivate can indeed speed up cultivation, but one will ultimately be burdened by them. When breaking through to become a Titled Douluo in the future, the resistance will increase greatly. With Yang'er's talent, we naturally cannot ruin his future for momentary speed."

Xu Yunxiao nodded in agreement. This was the situation on the Sun Moon Continent. The Evil Emperor launched a Beast Tide every hundred years. For the people of the continent, gaining greater combat power as quickly as possible within limited time was everyone's pursuit.

And in such an environment, cultivation through pills and the rapid development of Soul Tools naturally arose.

However, this created a vicious cycle. Without cultivating through pills, one could not develop formidable strength in a short period of time. Yet once too many pills were consumed, they would create bottlenecks that became difficult to break through in the future. Faced with two cups of poison, the Sun Moon Continent chose the former. Now, they no longer even had a future to speak of.

Those who truly had no hope of breaking through would begin researching Soul Tools to strengthen their combat power. Thus, while the Sun Moon Continent had few high-level combatants at the Titled Douluo level, its mid- and lower-level combat power was incomparably terrifying.

"Keep an eye on Yang'er. Recently, the Moonflower Empire has become increasingly impatient. There has been frequent activity around Moon Yao City. It seems that old Kong Sili is getting anxious."

After the two discussed Xu Tianyang's general direction of cultivation for a while, a cold light appeared in Xu Yunxiao's eyes. Brimming with Killing Intent, he spoke in a low voice.

"So it is finally beginning? Those people from the Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Regiment have been muttering in my ear every day lately. No matter what, we cannot let the other three of the Four Great Soul Tool Regiments snatch away the honor of being first to the field." Mu Mengyu's gaze immediately changed. At that moment, she resembled a valiant female general, her ruby-like eyes revealing terrifying fighting intent.

Mu Mengyu was no ornamental princess consort. She herself was a level eighty-six Soul Douluo, and she commanded the Fire Phoenix Soul Tool Regiment, one of the Sun Moon Empire's Four Great Soul Tool Regiments. She held tremendous prestige in the military.

"Hahahaha! With such an army, what can the Moonflower Empire and people like Kong Sili use to resist the Sun Moon Empire's forces? This war should end, and the Sun Moon Continent should finally welcome unification."

Looking at his imposing wife beside him, Xu Yunxiao burst into laughter. His laughter was filled with confidence in the Sun Moon Empire's army, as well as determination to unify the world.

There were two great empires on the Sun Moon Continent: the Sun Moon Empire and the Moonflower Empire. The Moonflower Empire's inherited Martial Soul was the moon, while the Sun Moon Empire's inherited Martial Soul was the sun. Both were among the top Martial Souls in the Soul Master World.

The Sun Moon Continent had no force like Spirit Hall to maintain balance. For thousands of years, the two nations had opposed one another over the continent's unification, fighting small wars every five years and major wars every ten.

It was precisely because of the military conflict between the two nations that Soul Tool technology on the Sun Moon Continent flourished.

If not for the Evil Emperor frequently launching Beast Tides, causing repeated gaps among the Sun Moon Continent's top-level Titled Douluo experts, the Soul Tool development of the two great empires would surely have been even more glorious.

The two nations had always been roughly equal in strength, with victories and defeats on both sides, until Xu Yunxiao appeared.

Xu Yunxiao was hailed as the most talented individual the Sun Moon Empire had seen in a thousand years. This was not only reflected in cultivation; he was also a top genius in Soul Tools.

Under Xu Yunxiao's leadership, the Sun Moon Empire's strength underwent enormous changes in just thirty years. By now, the Moonflower Empire had been driven to the brink of destruction.

"With Yang'er's talent, he will definitely lead the Sun Moon Empire to unprecedented heights in the future and become a great emperor. Let me clear away this final obstacle for him first!"

Turning to look at Xu Tianyang's room, Xu Yunxiao seemed to see the young child sitting cross-legged inside, diligently meditating. Tenderness could not help but appear in his tiger-like eyes.

"Actually, in this consort's heart, Your Highness is also a wise and ambitious emperor!" At that moment, Mu Mengyu's gentle voice echoed by Xu Yunxiao's ear, causing him to briefly lose focus. Then, dazzling brilliance burst forth from his eyes.
