The Heavenly Soul's Evil Soul Master
The Heavenly Soul Empire was hosting an ordinary banquet; there wasn't much to say about it.
The gist of the banquet was that the Heaven Soul Imperial Family hoped that the major sects within the Heavenly Soul Empire would unite to fight against the Sun Moon Empire.
It must be said that there are quite a few major sects within the Heavenly Soul Empire, and some of them are ancient forces that have been around for tens of thousands of years.
Unfortunately, the response was lukewarm; after all, a sect is a sect, and a nation is a nation.
Unless a sect is overly high-profile or is similar to the State-Protecting Sect, it's unlikely that they would agree to the Heavenly Soul Empire's request so soon.
Especially forces like the Heavenly Dragon Sect, who are descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan from ten thousand years ago, whose ancestors were the surviving Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin.
They couldn't possibly enter the world so hastily. Ten thousand years ago, the terrible price they paid taught them that without absolute strength, they should keep a low profile.
"Elder Gong, are all court banquets this boring?"
"It's certainly boring, but you can still learn a lot from banquets like this."
"Think about why the Heavenly Soul Empire wants to win over sect forces?"
Chen Yuan pondered for a while. As far as he knew, although there were many sects in the Heavenly Soul Empire, only a few were truly powerful.
Among them, the four most powerful are Mystic Underworld Sect, Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, Heavenly Dragon Sect, and Body Sect.
As the State-Protecting Sect of the Heavenly Soul Empire in the original work, the Body Sect is probably now quite involved with the Heaven Soul Imperial Family.
If it weren't for this, the Body Sect would actually be a good place to go, but unfortunately Chen Yuan was unwilling to serve these feudal remnants.
Therefore, even if Du Busi and he wanted to take him as a disciple, Chen Yuan would never agree to it.
Not to mention that in the original work, the Heavenly Soul Empire was the first empire to be destroyed.
"Perhaps it's because among the Original Three Kingdoms of Douluo, the Heavenly Soul Empire is the most dangerous? The Star Luo Empire has always been militarily strong, and it also has natural barriers like the Mingdou Mountain Range."
"The Dou Ling Empire and the Sun Moon Empire do not border each other. To attack the Dou Ling Empire, one must first destroy either the Heavenly Soul Empire or the Star Luo Empire."
"From this perspective, it seems that the Heavenly Soul Empire not only rejects Soul Tool, but its army's combat effectiveness is also lacking; it has no natural barriers, let alone human shields."
"Yes, you're right, especially in the last two years, things have become increasingly unstable on the Sun Moon side."
In fact, Chen Yuan quite hoped that Douluo Continent could be unified, since he knew that the Sun Moon Federation of Douluo III was far superior to the four great empires of Douluo at present.
Unfortunately, the Sun Moon and Moon Clan has now colluded with Evil Soul Master and cooperated with those anti-human beings, which is one of the reasons why Chen Yuan cannot accept the Sun Moon Imperial Family no matter what.
Another reason is that Chen Yuan disliked the skin color of the Sun Moon Imperial Family.
As they walked, Gong Changlong and Chen Yuan unexpectedly arrived at the former site of the Tang Sect, now the headquarters of the Iron Blood Sect.
The former site of the Tang Sect was in a very good location. If the bloodshed and the change of allegiance of the sect happened here, it would be strange if the Heaven Soul Imperial Family didn't know.
"Isn't it heartbreaking? The number one sect on the continent had its foundation usurped by a sect whose name has never even been heard of."
"Yes, there is some. From what you've said, Elder Gong, is there some other secret involved?"
"There is some truth to it, but it's no big deal to tell you. Just don't spread it around."
Gong Changlong had been using his Soul Power to isolate his and Chen Yuan's voices the whole way, so he wasn't afraid of being overheard. Gong Changlong's face showed a serious expression, but he sighed a few times.
"Back then, Tang San's ancestor founded the Tang Sect, Tang Sect flourished to the extreme. Everyone knew about Tang Sect Hidden Weapons, and it quickly became the number one sect on the continent."
Even the once-powerful Clear Sky Sect would have to give way.
"However, four thousand years ago, the Sun Moon Continent clashed with our Douluo Continent, and a war broke out between the two continents. Our army, which used Hidden Weapon, was routed by the Soul Tool of the Sun Moon Continent."
"Even though Hidden Weapon have the advantage of being usable by ordinary people, Hidden Weapon power is far inferior to that of Soul Tool."
"Sometimes I even doubt whether the Hidden Weapon in the Legend of the Sea God and the Hidden Weapon of the Tang Sect later are the same thing, the difference in power is too great."
Haha, that's really not it.
Chen Yuan secretly gave Gong Changlong a thumbs up; his guess was spot on.
Tang San castrated the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the most important part of the Tang Sect Mysterious Heaven Skill, and placed the Medicine Chapter and Poison Chapter in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Unless it's a one-in-a-million chance, only those chosen by Tang San can enter and see the Poison Chapter.
At least for the Tang Sect disciples without a complete lineage, it would be impossible to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Without the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the Mysterious Heaven Skill cannot reach its full potential, and the power of various Tang Sect Secret Arts will be limited. Absurdly powerful moves like Guanyin Tear will certainly not be able to be unleashed.
Without the poison, most of the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons are just ordinary weapons with slightly greater power. How could they possibly compare to Soul Tool?
"That battle made the entire continent realize the gap between Hidden Weapon and Soul Tool, and Hidden Weapon were gradually phased out."
"During this process, Shrek Academy, as well as many other forces, also wanted to cooperate with the Tang Sect. After all, Tang Sect was the sect with the second most rare metals in the original Three Douluo Kingdoms at that time."
L
"Unfortunately, the Tang Sect is unwilling to admit its defeat."
"Also, you should know about the legendary Four Single-Attribute Clans, right? Ma Xiaotao is a descendant of Ma Hongjun's ancestor, so she can also be considered a descendant of the Speed Clan."
"That can't be right, Elder Gong. As far as I know, when Ma Hongjun fell in love with Bai Chenxiang, he had already rid himself of the Evil Fire. The martial spirit he inherited wasn't the legendary Ten-Headed Fire Phoenix, and it couldn't possibly be a phoenix with Evil Fire, could it? Unless it's—"
Be careful what you say!
Gong Changlong looked tense, staring intently at Chen Yuan, clearly anxious.
"Remember, keep your words to yourself. Ma Xiaotao can only be a descendant of the Speed Clan."
Chen Yuan understood; it was political correctness.
Ma Hongjun has become a god, so his romantic past must never be mentioned again.
Regardless of whether Ma Xiaotao is a descendant of the Speed Clan or not, as long as she is a descendant of Ma Hongjun and possesses the Evil Fire Phoenix Martial Soul, she can only be a member of the Speed Clan.
"Then, after the Tang Sect Sea God Tang San, became a god, the Tang Sect adhered to a principle: only those with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul could serve as sect leader."
"According to the academy's records, Tang San's ancestor's martial soul was the Blue Silver Emperor and the Clear Sky Hammer. The Tang Sect firmly believed that the Blue Silver Grass could become the Blue Silver Emperor and wanted to replicate the legend of Tang San's ancestor. Therefore, they always made the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul the sect's master."
"This chilled the hearts of the Four Great Clans, and some wanted reform, but the Blue Silver Grass lineage, that is, the sect leader's lineage, was unwilling to lose its power and continued to suppress the Four Great Clans, thus plunging the Tang Sect into internal strife."
"Finally, the Tang Sect suffered severe internal strife, leaving it in its current half-dead state."
"However, out of humanitarian considerations and the past relationship between the academy and the Tang Sect, the academy still grants the Tang Sect one opportunity for admission without examination each year."
A recommendation letter from Shrek would cost around 1,000 Gold Soul Coin on the market. Chen Yuan was indeed very talented and managed to force his way in; otherwise, it would have cost him Gold Soul Coin as well.
With just one spot, if managed well, the Tang Sect could easily accumulate funds quickly. They could simply find some noble children who wanted to study at Shrek but lacked the necessary strength. It was that simple.
Just as Chen Yuan was pondering the matter, suddenly, a faint vibration came from the Sun God Bow within his Sea of Consciousness.
A nauseating aura suddenly appeared, and Chen Yuan Chen Yuan and looked in the direction from which it came.
Seeing Chen Yuan suddenly stop, Gong Changlong also stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"Elder Gong, there's Evil Soul Master!"
Gong Changlong didn't ask Chen Yuan how he knew; he immediately began to carefully observe his surroundings.
"I never expected that a child of about ten years old could sense me. What a young hero! It's a pity I'm going to die here."
A cold, aged voice, sounding as if someone was about to die, rang out not far away. A hunched, short figure appeared silently in front of the two, about 1.2 meters tall, covered in bloodstains.
He held a huge black Cross in both hands, with a bleeding corpse nailed to it, and was surrounded by eight Soul Ring: two yellow, two purple, and four black.
Evil Soul Master at the level of Eight-Ring Soul Douluo!
This is Heaven Dou City, how could there be Evil Soul Master of this level here?
This greatly surprised Gong Changlong. How could Shrek have no information whatsoever about Evil Soul Master of this level?!
How many lives has this level of Evil Soul Master taken by now? Why would Evil Soul Master of this caliber appear even though Shrek monitors the entire continent?
"Chen Yuan, step back. Evil Soul Master are extremely unpredictable. I'll deal with him!"
"The fight might get quite loud later. Go check the area right now; he might have accomplices. Be careful."
Gong Changlong clapped his hands, and nine Soul Ring appeared around him—two yellow, two purple, and five black. The fierce flames ignited the cold night. With a stomp of his feet, the ground of the entire street shattered, and he charged towards the Evil Soul Master.
