Sun Moon Continent

Tang Xiao turned around and his gaze fell on the girl in black not far away.

Tang Xiao walked behind her and knelt on one knee. "Master, where is this place?"

"This is the Sun Moon Continent."

"Sun Moon Continent?"

The First Elder stepped forward, his face full of confusion. "What is the Sun Moon Continent? I've lived for almost a hundred years and have never heard of this continent."

Xiao Wu jumped down from the rock and landed silently on the grass, barefoot.

She looked at the group of the Clear Sky Sect members who were staring blankly around, her eyes indifferent. "There is more than one Douluo Continent in this world."

"Beyond this sea lies another continent, called the Sun Moon Continent."

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. The number of people on the Douluo Continent who know about the existence of the Sun Moon Continent can be counted on one hand."

"You should rest and recuperate here until things calm down before making further plans."

The members of the Clear Sky Sect looked at each other in bewilderment.

They had lived on the Douluo Continent for generations and had never known that there was another continent in the world.

The massive shifts in territory evoked a complex and indescribable feeling in everyone.

On this new continent, he was like a ship with its anchor broken, not knowing which way to drift.

"Master, exactly where on the Sun Moon Continent is this?"

Xiao Wu pointed to the city in the distance. "Sun Moon City is not far away, follow me."

The others quickly followed.

The procession of thousands wound its way through the unfamiliar mountains and fields, their footsteps clattering but no one speaking.

Tang Xiao walked at the front, closest to Xiao Wu.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again, "Master, the Divine Medicine you gave me is truly miraculous."

"My father had already... he had stopped breathing, but I gave him one as a last resort, and he actually came back to life."

"Master, do you have any more of this Divine Medicine?"

"Of course we have the medicine."

The First Elder behind him, upon hearing this, immediately brightened up and rushed forward to interject, "That's... that's wonderful! With this medicine, everyone in our Clear Sky Sect can break through to the Titled Douluo. Let's see how arrogant the Spirit Hall will be then!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Xiao turned around and glared at him fiercely.

When the First Elder met Tang Xiao's gloomy eyes, he swallowed the rest of his sentence, not daring to say another word.

Xiao Wu stopped and looked at Tang Xiao.

"It seems you haven't fully understood yet."

"The essence of this Divine Medicine is to prematurely unleash your talents."

Tang Xiao countered, "What do you mean by 'exploiting people prematurely'?"

"It means... if your physique and talent are not up to the level of Titled Douluo, but you take an excessive amount of Divine Medicine to force a breakthrough, your body will not be able to withstand that power and will explode."

The whole mountain was silent...

The Clear Sky Sect members, who were just moments before filled with joy, now felt a chill run down their spines, and cold sweat seeped from their foreheads.

They thought this was a windfall, that this Divine Medicine came without any cost, and that they would become stronger simply by consuming it.

Now I realize that it wasn't without a price, but the price was gambling with my life before I even took the food.

Xiao Wu's gaze swept across their faces one by one, taking in the lingering fear on each of their expressions.

"But you don't need to be too nervous."

"This medicine is fine to take, just adjust the dosage according to your own situation."

"Those with good talent should eat more, and those with less talent should eat less. Don't be greedy."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their gazes toward the porcelain vase were no longer as fiery as before.

Tang Xiao silently followed behind Xiao Wu, pulling his father closer to his back.

After crossing the last mountain ridge, Sun Moon City finally unfolded before our eyes without any obstruction.

Tang Xiao originally thought that a so-called "city" should at least have city walls, gate towers, streets, and markets.

But the Sun Moon City before us is at best just a larger town.

The city wall was built with coarse stones and yellow mud, and was no more than three meters high. There were no crenellations on the top of the wall.

There were only two lazy guards at the city gate, leaning against the wall and dozing off with their spears in their arms.

Most of the houses in the city are low-rise buildings made of wood and stone, with the tallest buildings no more than three stories high. The streets are paved with a few bluestone slabs, but most of the roads are still dirt roads.

The streets were sparsely populated, and most people wore patched clothes.

Not to mention Heaven Dou City, even a small border town is more prosperous than this place.

The townspeople stopped in their tracks when they saw this large group of strangers surging down the mountain path.

Some people dropped the wooden basins they were holding, some pulled their children into the house to hide, and a few bolder ones stood there pointing and whispering.

They had never seen so many fully armed Soul Master in their lives, nor had they ever seen any important figure leading such a powerful and imposing force.

Tang Xiao's gaze swept over the emaciated people, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He scanned the city with his Spiritual Power and found that the vast majority of people in the city had weak Soul Power, some of whom were just ordinary warriors, and the number of Soul Master was very small.

"Master," he walked to Xiao Wu's side, "Could you explain the situation of this Sun Moon Continent to us?"

"The Sun Moon Continent is much smaller than the Douluo Continent, but it has countless powerful forces, numbering in the hundreds."

"Each city is a power, and the city lord is the boss. Today you attack me, tomorrow I attack you. It's a disorganized mess."

She lifted her bare foot and kicked away a pebble. The pebble rolled a few times on the ground and came to rest next to a tattered flag.

The flag was embroidered with a crooked red sun and a crescent moon, the stitches so rough they looked like a three-year-old child's scribbles.

"This Sun Moon City is the territory of the Sun Moon Gang. Once you eliminate the Sun Moon Gang, this place will belong to your Clear Sky Sect."

The First Elder stepped forward and couldn't help but ask the question that everyone present most wanted to ask.

"Can we... go back? Can we go back to the Douluo Continent?"

"Yes, you can go back as long as you destroy the Spirit Hall."

"Now, you only deserve to stay here."

"..."

"..."

The thousands of people in the Clear Sky Sect felt both angry and frustrated upon hearing this, but not one of them could refute it.

Their mountain gate was trampled down, and they were uprooted by the Spirit Hall, losing even Clear Sky Peak, where their ancestors had lived for hundreds of years.

I am only alive now, and have a place to stay, thanks to this girl in black.

She spoke harshly, but every word she said was true.

Tang Xiao a deep breath and turned around to face the thousands of disciples behind him.

He raised his right fist high, his deep voice echoing in the quiet mountains and forests Sun Moon City.

"Everyone, cheer up! As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild."

"We remember every single debt the Spirit Hall owes us."

"Once we become stronger, we will one day return to the Douluo Continent and fight the Spirit Hall to the death."
