It had to be said that the Maiden's System was quite reliable. Though it was a bit of a scam for the Maiden, it reinforced the passageway in no time.
Spirit City, Spirit Hall. The terrifying scene just now had truly frightened everyone. That sensation of impending doom left even Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, powerful as they were, drenched in cold sweat.
"Ci Xue, immediately arrange for Spirit Hall's Soul Masters to set out and rescue people everywhere. That upheaval of heaven and earth was far too terrifying. Who knows how many people may be trapped? We must do everything we can to reduce the casualties."
"Yes!"
"Mo Xiong, I'll trouble you to make a trip to the Heaven Dou Empire. Inform Prince Xuexing of the Heaven Dou Empire and have him quickly mobilize the empire's official forces to carry out rescue operations in the worst-hit areas."
"Yes!"
"Gui Bao, you'll need to make a trip to the Star Luo Empire. You must persuade Dai An of the Star Luo Empire to cast aside their hatred at a time like this and spare no effort in rescuing the civilians."
"Understood!"
"Ling Yuan..."
Watching Bibi Dong calmly and methodically direct the elders of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu could not help but consider the Spirit Hall Empire plan Bibi Dong had mentioned before.
If Bibi Dong truly managed to establish the Spirit Hall Empire, then under her leadership, Spirit Hall would undoubtedly reach its pinnacle!
What a pity...
Qian Daoliu raised his head and turned his gaze once more toward the Light Screen above.
"With the sudden emergence of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, can the Spirit Hall Empire still be established smoothly..."
"And you, old friend. It seems you've left me far behind."
"Tang Chen..."
In the Xuan Region, one of the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm, Tang Chen had now completely abandoned the cultivation of his Martial Soul and Soul Power, instead beginning to cultivate the Cultivation Technique of this world.
Compared with everyone else, Tang Chen, as a level-99 Peerless Douluo, quickly discovered after being cleansed that even though his Soul Power had risen to an inconceivable level in both quality and quantity, and even his Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul had undergone a qualitative transformation, becoming more than ten times stronger than before, Martial Souls and Soul Power alike were fundamentally unworthy of mention in this terrifying world!
Thus, when he encountered the dying cultivator before him, and the other man said that he would help Tang Chen grow stronger as long as Tang Chen accepted his inheritance, Tang Chen decisively chose to accept it and dissipated the Soul Power he had cultivated for his entire life!
"What formidable power! Compared to Soul Power and Martial Souls, it is stronger by an unknown amount!"
Feeling the blood and vitality within his body nearly boil, with Divine Radiance faintly blossoming even within his blood, Tang Chen, the only person from Douluo Continent to cultivate the Perfect World cultivation system, understood even more clearly just how vast the gap between the two was!
He could swear to Heaven that, let alone as a level-99 Peerless Douluo, even if he entered the realm of gods and became a legendary God King, he would still unquestionably choose the Perfect World cultivation system!
There was no other reason: the Perfect World cultivation system was simply too powerful!
Tang Chen threw a fierce punch at a huge boulder in the distance. In an instant, his blood and vitality surged, divine light flashed, and the boulder shattered into countless fragments that scattered in every direction!
"Hahahaha! What tremendous power! I never thought that I, Tang Chen, would one day reach such a level!"
Tang Chen could not help throwing back his head and laughing.
When he had first crossed into the Xuan Region, he had been quite confident, believing that with the strength of a level-99 Peerless Douluo, he could surely swagger through some mere Mysterious Land.
After all, when he had been cleansed by the celestial essence of Mysterious Jade, not only had the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King that had once corroded him been completely destroyed, but his Martial Soul and Soul Power had both undergone transformations in quantity and quality!
Yet despite becoming countless times stronger, he had not even been able to break a stone!
As for that huge boulder just now, he had even summoned the Clear Sky Hammer, known as the number one Tool Spirit under Heaven, and smashed it with all his strength and Soul Power. In the end, only a few tiny stone chips had fallen off...
"Cough, cough, cough. You old man, what are you laughing about? Your current strength is only comparable to that of an ordinary Blood Transporting Realm cultivator. Compared to those geniuses capable of lifting ten thousand jin with one arm, you are far too lacking. Still, your aptitude is not bad. If you continue cultivating, you will sooner or later reach the level of those geniuses. What a pity that you are a little too old and have missed the best time for cultivation. Your future achievements will be limited."
Seeing that Tang Chen had already completed the initial tempering of his body and entered the Blood Transporting Realm using only a small amount of Fierce beast Precious Blood from his Storage Pouch, Li Qing felt both gratified and regretful.
He was gratified that the Luoxia Sect finally had a successor, and that successor even possessed fairly decent aptitude. He regretted that the successor was too old and had completely missed the best period for body refinement. His future achievements would likely be limited; reaching the Spirit Transformation Realm would probably be his limit.
But at a time like this, the Luoxia Sect had already been destroyed. Strictly speaking, having Tang Chen cultivate the Luoxia Sect's techniques was still a disservice to him...
Yet for the sake of the Luoxia Sect's inheritance, Li Qing had no choice but to do so.
Hearing this cold water from Li Qing, who could be considered his benefactor, Tang Chen instantly fell silent, unable to stop himself from sighing inwardly.
If I had been born in the Xuan Region, perhaps I could have reached the Venerable Realm Li Qing spoke of by now...
After a long while, Tang Chen finally spoke slowly.
"Mr. Li, is there any way for me to reconstruct my muscles and bones and increase my potential?"
Li Qing nodded.
"You old man, I knew you would ask that. Unfortunately, there is a way, but obtaining it is extraordinarily difficult."
Tang Chen's brows furrowed slightly at those words, then relaxed.
"Man proposes, Heaven disposes. I believe I can do it!"
"There are quite a few Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Eight Regions that can help you cleanse your marrow, reshape your muscles and bones, and even some powerful Fierce beasts' true blood can make you stronger and grant you greater potential."
"However, such things are either impossible to find by seeking them, or far too dangerous."
To be honest, Li Qing did not want Tang Chen to take such risks. But though they had known each other for less than a day, Li Qing believed he had already seen clearly what sort of person Tang Chen was.
This old man was intelligent, but he was also extraordinarily obsessed with becoming stronger. With a personality like his, he would easily offend others and become a target for all.
But I'm about to die anyway, so why should I care?
I have already completed the Luoxia Sect's inheritance. Whether Tang Chen chooses to reestablish the Luoxia Sect and restore its former glory, or abandons the idea and allows the Luoxia Sect to vanish into the river of time, what does that have to do with me?
At least I can face the successive ancestors of the Luoxia Sect without shame!
As for the rest, I'll leave it to Tang Chen!
Meanwhile, on Douluo Continent, whether it was the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao far away in Holy Soul Village, or Tang San at Shrek Academy, none of them could conceal the joy on their faces!
