Fate-Defying Spring Upgrade-Blessed Land

Unlike Golden Blazing Sun's pure, extreme offensive and amplification attributes, Fate-Defying Domain leaned more toward endurance, recovery, and team-wide buffs.

One attacked while the other supported; one was like a blazing sun incinerating the heavens, while the other was like spring rain nourishing all things. They formed the perfect complement.

At that moment, a vision of some future day even surfaced in Luo Can's mind—

He would activate Fate-Defying Domain, clad in Golden Blazing Sun Battle Armor, and lead a loyal, powerful legion behind him as he charged across the battlefield.

Under the domain's cover, his side would only grow fiercer with every battle, their wounds healing instantly and their Soul Power inexhaustible. Meanwhile, the enemy would steadily collapse beneath the scorching sun and the domain's suppression.

Just imagining that scene made his blood boil.

Wiping away nonexistent drool, Luo Can composed himself and looked back at the Virtual Panel before him.

[Fisher: Luo Can]

[Permission Level: Level 3 (0/200000)]

[Highest Fishing Quality Available: Red]

[Daily Fishing Time: 4 hours]

[Points: 50500]

[Unique Fishing Spot: Fate-Defying Lake (Level: Advanced)+]

At the very bottom of the system panel, a new, eye-catching notification had appeared:

[Congratulations, host. Permission Level has risen to Level 3. New function unlocked: Biological Fishing]

[Function Description: You may fish for Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts from different eras of Douluo Continent. Fished creatures retain their current strength and memories and will remain absolutely loyal to the host]

[Ding! Special Permission Level upgrade reward triggered. Obtained: Directional Fishing Talisman ×1]

"Biological Fishing...?"

Luo Can froze for a moment before uncontrollable ecstasy surged through him.

He could fish for people and Spirit Beasts! This was like being handed a pillow just when he needed sleep!

How many extraordinarily gifted powerhouses and Spirit Beasts had appeared throughout the Douluo series? If he could fish them out, he could build a legion of experts capable of sweeping across the continent.

By then, perhaps he truly would have a grand scene where Limit Douluos were everywhere and Super Douluos filled the streets.

"Ahem."

Luo Can coughed twice and shook his head, forcing down the fanciful images in his mind.

A meal had to be eaten one bite at a time, and a road had to be walked one step at a time. He still had fifty thousand Points left, just enough to upgrade the Fishing Spot once more.

His gaze fell upon the "+" after the Fishing Spot, and Luo Can's thoughts shifted slightly.

[-50000 Points]

The Points were deducted instantly.

The next moment—

"Rumble—!!!"

The entire mountain began to shake violently!

This was not the gentle expansion from before, but a world-shaking transformation.

The ground beneath Luo Can's feet stretched outward in every direction at a visible speed. The mountain walls on both sides seemed to be pushed apart by invisible giant hands, rapidly retreating. The valley, originally only around a hundred li across, wildly expanded amid thunderous roars into a massive basin over a thousand li in diameter!

At the center of the basin, Fate-Defying Lake swelled to a hundred zhang across.

Though the lake water was clear, its depths could not be seen. Luo Can extended his mental power downward, and it reached a full hundred meters before barely touching the lakebed.

Even more astonishing were the changes in the environment.

The spiritual energy in the air was so dense it nearly condensed into mist. With every breath, he could feel his Soul Power growing on its own. A vast yet gentle aura of life filled every inch of the space. Even an ordinary person would likely be cured of all illnesses and gain decades of life just by taking one breath here.

As for Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts, this place could already be called a sacred land for cultivation. One day of cultivation here might equal a hundred days of arduous training outside!

"Roar—!!"

In the middle of the open ground, the century-old Ghost Tiger excitedly reared onto its hind legs and let out a joyous howl toward the sky. It could clearly feel pure spiritual energy and life energy pouring into its body with every breath, its cultivation steadily increasing at a slow pace!

At this rate, it would advance into a thousand-year Spirit Beast in less than ten years. If it remained here for several hundred years... becoming a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast would no longer be beyond reach.

Luo Can took a deep breath.

The warm spiritual mist poured into his lungs and turned into pure energy that nourished every meridian. He felt the circulation of his Soul Power become several times faster than before, while its density slowly increased as well. In this environment, he estimated that he would only need two or three years of secluded cultivation to break through to Rank 96.

He looked at the system page.

[Unique Fishing Spot: Fate-Defying Lake (Level: Blessed Land)]

[Note: All creatures cultivating here will receive a "tenfold cultivation speed" bonus.]

"Blessed Land... tenfold cultivation speed..." Luo Can murmured.

After nine upgrades, Fate-Defying Spring had finally transformed into a true Blessed Land. This effect was simply terrifying.

Such a huge disturbance naturally woke the two little girls inside the Wooden House.

"Creak—"

The two wooden doors were pushed open almost simultaneously.

Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan ran out while rubbing their sleepy eyes, then froze at the doorway at the same time.

Their eyes widened round, their little mouths forming O-shapes as they blankly stared at the earth-shattering scene before them.

The familiar valley had vanished, replaced by an endless emerald lake and a vast, flat basin stretching a thousand li, covered in spiritual herbs. The spiritual mist in the air made every breath a pleasure, and every pore on their bodies seemed to cheer with delight.

What shocked them even more was that, even without actively meditating, the Soul Power within their bodies was accumulating at a clearly perceptible rate!

"S-Senior Sister..." Dugu Yan tugged at Ye Lingling's sleeve. "Do you know what... happened?"

Ye Lingling pointed at herself in confusion. "Me?"

"Of course! You came here before I did, so you must know something, right?" Dugu Yan's eyes were full of curiosity.

Ye Lingling blinked and honestly shook her head. "I don't know."

Ever since she had arrived, her daily life had consisted of eating, sleeping, being beaten by the Ghost Tiger, beating the Ghost Tiger, and occasionally listening to her master's lessons. How could she have had the leisure to pay attention to the valley's changes? The last change did not seem to have been this big...

Seeing his two little disciples standing at the door with blank expressions that practically said, Who am I? Where am I?, Luo Can could not help but smile.

He did not explain.

For some things, it was better to maintain an air of mystery. The more unfathomable he seemed, the more wholeheartedly these two little girls would follow him as their master.

"Stop standing around foolishly."

Luo Can walked over and rubbed both of their little heads.

"Hurry up and wash up. Then eat breakfast."

"Yes, Master!"

Only then did the two little girls come back to their senses and hurried toward the lake.

After preparing a day's worth of Medicinal Meals for his two disciples and reminding them to cultivate diligently, Luo Can spread his Golden Dragon Wings and flew toward the summit of Jueming Cliff beneath the rising sun.

There were not many changes atop the cliff. It was still that same flat clearing.

However, the spiritual energy density there had increased severalfold due to the formation of the Blessed Land. Although cultivation here was not as effective as within The Valley, it could still yield twice the result with half the effort.

"Building the core of my forces here would be a good choice."

Luo Can landed atop the cliff. The thirty-one boys and girls had already finished their morning meditation and were gathered in groups of two or three, quietly exchanging cultivation insights. When they saw Luo Can descend from the sky, they quickly rose and bowed.

"Lord Luo!"

"Mhm." Luo Can waved a hand, his gaze sweeping across the crowd. "How is your cultivation progressing?"

A-Shan spoke first, his voice excited. "Reporting to my lord, I've already broken through one rank! It happened last night!"

"I broke through last night too!"

"I'm still a little short, but I feel like it'll happen in the next couple of days!"

After hearing their reports, Luo Can nodded in satisfaction.

Of the thirty-one, six had already successfully broken through one rank. The rest would all succeed within a month at the latest. Such speed would be considered miraculous in the outside world.

After all, most of their Innate Soul Power was below Rank 1, and some had none at all. Under normal cultivation, they might not even break through after three to five years.

Luo Can nodded. "Not bad. Is there anything you do not understand about cultivation?"

Everyone began asking questions at once. Some were troubled by sluggish Soul Power circulation, while others were stuck at the threshold of deep meditation...

Luo Can answered patiently, occasionally personally teaching them the paths for circulating Soul Power or explaining techniques for focusing their minds during meditation.

Half an hour later, after answering all their questions, Luo Can spread his wings once more and flew toward Yaowang Town.
