The effect is that within the domain, the user's side experiences a 100% increase in speed within the Network World, the caster is completely hidden from any data tracking in reality, and both the side's spiritual power and soul power are increased by 50%. Within the domain, the caster can infinitely digitize and materialize everything.
Nan Xuan's current soul power is level 72. The detection range of his First Soul Skill has already reached 100%, and when combined with the 2x multiplier from his Avatar of Martial Soul, that brings it to 300%.
His first, second, third, and fifth soul skills all increase by 15% for every 10 levels of soul power gained on top of the base 10%, so they have all reached 100% now, or 300% when his Avatar of Martial Soul is active.
Looking at his various buffing skills, Nan Xuan could only sigh, "Sigh, how lonely it is to be invincible."
Bored, Nan Xuan activated his Seventh Soul Skill, using the Digitization-style Etherealization skill. He then turned into a cluster of digital data standing on the ground, allowing everything to pass right through his body.
Next, he expanded his Domain of the Network and digitized other objects, such as a nearby stone. Soon, this stone possessed the skill effects brought by Nan Xuan's seventh soul skill, and then he performed Materialization, turning the stone back to normal.
"If that's the case, as long as they are within my range, I can digitize almost anyone I want to protect. Even if they can't stay digitized for long, as long as they can dodge a fatal blow, that's a chance for a comeback." Thinking of this, Nan Xuan was amazed by the power of his own martial soul.
Based on his calculations and estimates, within his domain, the digitization time for non-soul-powered items is almost permanent. For soul power levels 10 to 30, it is 7 seconds; 30 to 50 is 6 seconds; 50 to 70 is 5 seconds; 70 to 80 is 4 seconds; 80 to 90 is 3 seconds; 90 to 99 is 2 seconds; and above 100, it is 1 second.
Furthermore, his domain covers a radius of about 50 kilometers, which is the range his current spiritual power allows. If he were to break through level 99 and become a god, the range would increase even further.
"If I'm like this and still can't lead Bibi Dong to win that battle, then I'm truly a failure." Nan Xuan assessed his current and future abilities while looking up at the sky.
"Little Asura, how laughable."
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Bibi Dong finished dressing and stepped out from behind the stone wall.
"Xiao Xuan, what are you doing?" Bibi Dong walked to Nan Xuan's side and asked curiously, watching his somewhat clumsy movements.
"Oh, Dong'er, you've finished absorbing it successfully. I'm just practicing Taiji. That's the Yin and Yang poles; I thought it might have some miraculous effect here, but it seems I overthought it." Nan Xuan said awkwardly as he watched Bibi Dong approach.
"Taiji? Is this another self-created soul skill you've pondered?" Bibi Dong didn't understand these names that sounded strange to her, but it wasn't hard to guess that this was a self-created soul skill of Nan Xuan's.
Thinking of Taiji, Nan Xuan would never forget the feeling of being dominated by the 24-style Taiji from university. He was almost ready to graduate, but the teacher notified him that he had failed his Taiji exam and needed a retake—it was truly despairing.
"I suppose so, though it doesn't seem very useful. By the way, you've already acquired the properties of those two immortal herbs, right?" Nan Xuan didn't want to continue the topic of Taiji, so he looked at the aura radiating from Bibi Dong and asked with concern.
"Yes, not only did I gain immunity to ice and fire, but my soul power also increased by one level; I'm at level 83 now." Bibi Dong revealed her aura and said happily.
Nan Xuan looked at the surrounding environment, leaving behind the root systems of the various immortal herbs, knowing they would grow back before long.
"Since that's the case, it's time for us to go back. We've been here for seven days already." Nan Xuan missed his little nest; although the soul power here was abundant, it wasn't as good as his own home.
"Mm-hmm, I haven't been home for a year and a half." Bibi Dong also felt a sense of nostalgia for that ordinary little wooden house; she had already come to regard it as her only home.
Just as they were about to leave, Dugu Bo jumped out from the other side of the Poison Array.
Bibi Dong looked at him vigilantly, worried that he had obtained the method and cured his poison, and would now act recklessly and potentially break his promise.
Seeing Bibi Dong's reaction, Dugu Bo said with a pained heart, "Eh, little girl, is that the kind of person you think I, Dugu Bo, am? Although I am aware of how the outside world judges me, I am still a person who knows how to repay kindness."
Nan Xuan patted Bibi Dong's tense arm.
Looking at Dugu Bo, he smiled and said, "It seems you have succeeded, Senior. Although it's not a complete success yet, that is only a matter of time. If you can force the toxins entirely into that soul bone, I believe your soul power will also increase."
"Indeed, and I have you to thank for that, kid. If you had appeared sooner, perhaps my son Xin'er could have seen more of this world. Forget it, let's not talk about that." Dugu Bo composed himself; he didn't want others to see him as a joke.
He then changed the subject.
"However, I still don't know your name, kid." Dugu Bo asked.
"My name is Nan Xuan. Oh, right, I have an immortal herb here that can evolve your granddaughter's martial soul into a Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor. That will make it much more convenient for you to teach her in the future." Nan Xuan pulled a dark green, mint-like herb from his storage bag.
"This is called Snake Phosphorous Herb; just take it orally." Nan Xuan tossed the immortal herb to Dugu Bo and explained how to consume it.
Dugu Bo's head was still a bit dazed; after this whole series of events, he had received quite a few benefits.
"Then many thanks to you, kid." Dugu Bo didn't hesitate; after all, this was something he had traded his herb garden for.
"Alright, we won't stay any longer. I hope you will take care of this precious land when you have time, Senior. Remember to keep your granddaughter away from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. If there's a better way in the future, I will let you know so you can cure it completely." Nan Xuan deployed his Seal Wings, picked up Bibi Dong, and turned into a streak of cyan light as he left.
"Nan Xuan, stay away from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, cure my poison."
"Heh, an interesting fellow." Dugu Bo muttered the words Nan Xuan had left behind and chuckled.
In truth, Nan Xuan had been quite thick-skinned to come here; he hadn't obtained the method to cure Dugu Bo from the original story, but he had used a special method to preserve the medicinal power of some herbs, hoping to have the chance to complete the cure later, so that no one would say he was more disgusting than Tang San.
After leaving the Sunset Forest, Nan Xuan returned directly to Holy Soul Village. He then took out the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and recited a pile of affectionate and cheesy words, along with the legendary story of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, filling Bibi Dong's heart with love.
Following Nan Xuan's method, Bibi Dong let a drop of fresh blood fall onto the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. The stone beneath it shattered, and the immortal herb merged into her body.
After completing this series of events, the two looked at each other affectionately, embraced and kissed, and then moved to their long-missed room.
Two years later, inside the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Ah Hao, we've been in the Blue Silver Valley for over a year now, and I feel like our child is about to be born. I want him to be born in the human world, so we..." Ah Yin, with her large belly, sat in Tang Hao's arms and said gently.
"Ah Yin, is that really what you think?" Tang Hao asked, somewhat happily.
For a normal human to live for over a year in a world surrounded by animal soul beasts and plant soul beasts—if he hadn't gone insane, that was already considered good.
Although Tang Hao had his wife Ah Yin for company, he hadn't seen any other humans for over a year, which had led him to harbor a bit of resentment.
"Yes, Ah Hao." Ah Yin didn't know why Tang Hao would ask that, but she didn't have the opportunity to think about it much now; she gently touched her large belly, her eyes filled with tenderness.
Hearing this, Tang Hao was incredibly excited. As someone who had spent a year and a half in the world of soul beasts, he naturally didn't want his child to stay in this place either.
He wanted to go home, back to the Clear Sky Sect.
After the couple had decided, they set off for the Clear Sky Sect the next morning.
Back at Holy Soul Village.
"Huh, so they actually came out." Nan Xuan used his First Soul Skill to detect that Tang Hao and his wife had already left the Star Dou Great Forest. He had even been worried for a moment that Ah Yin might give birth to Tang San, the child of destiny for the Douluo Continent, right there in the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, it seems the self-correcting ability of this plot is quite strong after all.
"What came out?" Bibi Dong was stir-frying vegetables at the stove when she suddenly heard Nan Xuan mutter to himself, and she asked with a hint of curiosity.
"It's nothing, just that the timing for the first step of your dream is almost here." Nan Xuan hugged Bibi Dong from behind and said with a smile.
"Stop it, I'm cooking." Facing Nan Xuan's restless hands, Bibi Dong could only offer a token resistance; as for anything else, she just kept doing what she was doing.
Bibi Dong knew exactly what the first step of the dream Nan Xuan spoke of was. The two of them now had almost no secrets from each other; what she knew, Nan Xuan knew, and what Nan Xuan knew, she mostly knew as well.
Aside from not telling Bibi Dong that he was a transmigrator or the full details of how the plot would unfold, Nan Xuan had told her everything. Regardless, aside from those things, he didn't really have anything to hide from her anyway.
In a city closest to the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Hao was supporting his wife.
"Ah Hao, why aren't we heading straight to your home?" Ah Yin sat on the hotel bed, thinking about the events of the day, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Oh, it's like this. My father, the sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, doesn't know about us yet, and my big brother hasn't explained the truth either; he only said I was still out training. If I were to suddenly bring you back, I'm afraid it might be inappropriate. So, I contacted some clansmen stationed nearby and asked them to send a message to my brother first, then have him test the waters with my father. That way, we can go home in a couple of days." Tang Hao looked at Ah Yin's puzzled expression and explained helplessly.
"Alright, I just hope the child can wait until then." Ah Yin managed a faint smile in response to Tang Hao.
As the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin was quite sensitive to the perception of life force. She could already feel that her child was about to be born, likely within these next few days. However, she had been feeling restless lately, as if something was about to happen. She had originally wanted to urge Tang Hao to return to the sect quickly, but fearing he would be put in a difficult position, she let the matter drop.
That night, Tang Xiao received the letter his younger brother, Tang Hao, had sent via their clansmen.
"Big Brother, Ah Yin is pregnant, and the child should be born soon. We intend to return to the sect, but we fear Father's reproach, so I must trouble you to sound him out. Signed, Tang Hao."
The above was the content of the letter Tang Hao wrote to Tang Xiao.
"Sigh, this foolish brother of mine. You make me regret even more that I let Ah Yin go to you back then. Since you love her and she is about to give birth, why care about these things? Making her run around outside with you—you really are a fool." Looking at the letter from his brother, Tang Xiao truly wanted to smash this idiot with a hammer.
However, complaints were just complaints, and regrets were just regrets. No matter what, he had to go speak to his father now so they could return to the sect as soon as possible.
In a city near the Clear Sky Sect, a black-haired young man was wandering the streets with a pregnant woman.
Tang Hao claimed this was beneficial for the fetus's development, ensuring that once born, the child would be a strong and healthy boy.
To this, Ah Yin could only grit her teeth and agree.
"Ah Hao, I don't feel well. I think I'm about to give birth." Ah Yin clutched her stomach, arching her back weakly.
"What?" Tang Hao panicked; he hadn't expected that just by going out for a stroll, his wife would go into labor.
He told Ah Yin to hold on, wrapped her in his soul power, and quickly found a carriage to return to the hotel.
At that very moment, Ghost Douluo, who happened to be conducting reconnaissance nearby, discovered the anomaly.
"Interesting. Tang Hao, one of the Haotian Twin Stars, has a wife who is actually a soul beast, and she's about to give birth." Filled with curiosity, Ghost Douluo immediately sent this information to Martial Soul Hall.
Inside Martial Soul Hall, Qian Xunji was teaching his daughter, Qian Renxue, about soul cultivation. Although he hadn't done anything with Bibi Dong back then, he had fathered a child with a maid, and that maid had passed away during childbirth while delivering Qian Renxue.
Last year, Qian Renxue underwent her soul awakening. Her martial soul was the inherited martial soul of the Angel family, the Angel martial soul, and her innate soul power was level 20. This had delighted Qian Daoliu, the First Grand Elder of the Douluo Hall, to no end.
Nan Xuan was also aware of Qian Renxue's birth, her martial soul awakening, and her innate soul power, and he had even told Bibi Dong about it.
Nan Xuan couldn't help but marvel once again at the power of the world's consciousness.
When Qian Xunji saw the urgent, encrypted letter brought by Ghost Douluo, his eyes widened.
Beside him, Qian Renxue couldn't understand her father's expression, but being sensible from a young age, she didn't ask.
"Men, gather everyone in Martial Soul Hall at the Soul Saint level or above. Follow me immediately to the vicinity of the Clear Sky Sect to capture the human traitor Tang Hao and his soul beast wife." Qian Xunji commanded those below him.
Guard: "Yes."
Hearing that her father was going out so late at night, Qian Renxue asked with concern: "Father, why are you going out so late?"
"Xue'er, be good. Father is going to catch a 100,000-year soul ring for you. Just stay home and wait for Father's good news." Qian Xunji stroked Qian Renxue's head with a loving expression and comforted her with a smile.
After speaking, Qian Xunji sensed that his team had finished assembling. He told Qian Renxue to go back and rest, while he himself headed toward the vicinity of the Clear Sky Sect.
