Douluo: Founding the Heavenly Court from the Holy Spirit Cult

Yang Hao smiled and did not answer, his expression appearing to be a tacit admission.

There was no need to explain this, even though Jing Hongchen and the others had never asked him about such matters in detail.

For a soul master, information regarding one's martial soul and soul skill effects must be kept confidential; otherwise, if an enemy were to learn of them, it would be easy to be targeted.

Therefore, keeping it to himself was entirely reasonable.

"A soul skill that controls metal?"

Meng Hongchen was suddenly enlightened, yet still astonished; she had not expected that even her brother, who possessed the Three-Legged Golden Toad martial soul, had failed to notice it.

"Practice makes perfect, but more importantly, it comes down to the control of soul power. Your soul power is not condensed or pure enough, likely due to consuming large amounts of medicine for rapid advancement.

This will severely affect your future cultivation. Given your current situation, reaching Titled Douluo is fine, but don't even think about Super Douluo."

Yang Hao shifted the topic to cultivation, his expression becoming more serious.

"Soul master cultivation should be as fast as possible. Once you pass the age of thirty, your cultivation speed will decline significantly."

Xiao Hongchen retorted; this was the golden age of cultivation, so naturally, the faster, the better.

"That saying exists, but it only applies before reaching Titled Douluo. Once you achieve the Titled Douluo realm, your lifespan increases, and the rate of physical aging slows down significantly.

At that point, cultivation focuses more on the foundation, especially when reaching the level of a Super Douluo.

Every time a Super Douluo advances by one level, their martial soul undergoes an evolution, which is equivalent to an improvement in combat potential and aptitude.

You have never produced a powerhouse at the Super Douluo level, and coupled with your constant focus on the soul tool system, it is normal that you do not know these things."

Yang Hao patiently explained; both of these two had great potential and were worth cultivating vigorously.

"Martial soul evolution?"

The siblings were stunned. Was there such a thing?

"This is the mystery of the Super Douluo level, and it is also a major reason why there are so many Super Douluos on the Douluo Continent side.

We, the Sun Moon Empire, should also attach importance to the soul master cultivation system and focus on improving our foundations; only then can we give birth to more Super Douluos.

And the Super Douluo level is the threshold for the hypothetical Level 10 Soul Master. If you want to break the current limits of the soul master system and become unprecedented Level 10 Soul Masters, you must lay a solid foundation and become Super Douluos."

Yang Hao spoke with earnest advice. Using medicine for cultivation was not impossible, but it required moderation, and clearly, both of them had exceeded that limit.

"Can you let me see your soul power?"

Xiao Hongchen's expression was grave, and he began to take this seriously.

Naturally, he also wanted to become that unprecedented Level 10 Soul Master.

There were already quite a few Level 9 Soul Masters in the empire; even if he became a Level 9 Soul Master, it would be difficult to compete with those old seniors. Only by becoming a Level 10 Soul Master could he stand out.

"Call me Boss!"

Yang Hao was dissatisfied; one had to have the right attitude when asking for help.

"Boss!"

With a darkened face, Xiao Hongchen had no choice but to call him Boss.

Only then was Yang Hao satisfied, and he channeled two strands of soul power into the siblings' bodies.

"My soul power level is only forty-one, much lower than yours, but its density and purity absolutely far exceed yours."

Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen sensed it carefully and indeed discovered that the other's soul power was extremely condensed. When their own soul power collided with it, it was scattered; they could not contend with it at all.

This was a qualitative gap. If the other's soul power was water, then theirs was mere water vapor.

"But you are about the same age as us, and your soul power level is not low either. This cultivation speed is also very fast."

Xiao Hongchen did not understand. If our rapid advancement is called unstable, why is yours so solid?

Is this a double standard?

"This is the difference in cultivation techniques. Your cultivation uses traditional meditation methods, using the martial soul as a foundation to guide heaven and earth energy into the body to transform it into soul power.

We, however, use more complex methods for efficient cultivation, so while our foundation is solid, our cultivation speed is also very fast."

Yang Hao smiled mysteriously, indicating that this was an untold secret.

This was bait; if these two were smart enough, they would definitely take it.

"A more efficient cultivation method?"

Meng Hongchen became interested in this, secretly calculating her grandfather's hidden savings, wondering if she could trade for such an efficient cultivation method.

Fire Domain

"Martial soul evolution! A more efficient cultivation method?"

After hearing the words of his grandson and granddaughter, Jing Hongchen was lost in thought.

As a high-ranking official of the Sun Moon Empire and a Level 9 Soul Master, he was well aware of the shortcomings of soul masters in their Sun Moon Empire; it was indeed very difficult to break through and become a Super Douluo.

In fact, there was only one Super Douluo in the empire today, and even that was uncertain; after all, that person rarely appeared, and the imperial family had always kept intelligence on them under strict seal. His own assessment of that person's cultivation level was merely a guess.

In terms of powerhouses, they were far, far behind the Douluo Continent.

This was the main reason restricting their soul masters from advancing toward Level 10.

Then there is the mystery of the Martial Soul Evolution during the Super Douluo stage; this is a secret he truly does not know.

However, one can infer from this that the child's Teacher is likely a Super Douluo, otherwise, it would be impossible to know such secrets.

"Grandfather, how can we trade with him for that more efficient cultivation method?"

Meng Hongchen very much wants to become a Super Douluo, and that cultivation method might be an opportunity.

"That kind of cultivation method is not something that can be obtained by relying on external objects."

Shaking his head slightly, Jing Hongchen knows the value of that cultivation method; it is definitely the greatest foundation of the Bright Cult.

"Wait and see. Let Grandfather observe that kid to determine the effectiveness of his cultivation method."

He already has an idea, which is to have his grandson and granddaughter join the Bright Cult.

This counts as a gamble, one that requires thorough investigation first.

Not just the effectiveness of that cultivation method, but the Bright Cult itself—he must get to the bottom of it.

Setting aside Jing Hongchen's thoughts for the moment, Yang Hao on the other side is not in a hurry; he is very patient about this.

During this period, he has slowly come into contact with Ji Juechen, who has comprehended Sword Intent, and he is very interested in this power.

The will-based system is not at all inferior to the Soul Power system; reaching the pinnacle of it can also lead to becoming a god and mobilizing the power of laws.

It is just that he has never seen will-type powers before, and no matter how powerful the comprehension boosted by his Golden Finger is, he cannot create something out of nothing.

This is another purpose for his coming to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy: to use Ji Juechen to understand the mysterious essence of Sword Intent, and subsequently, to comprehend his own.

Beyond that, he is curious about that Judgment Sword which possesses both light and darkness. Although it is only a Level 8 Soul Tool, the coexistence of light and darkness is extremely rare.

Perhaps it can assist him in fusing his blade and sword Martial Souls, eventually achieving the fusion of all three Martial Souls into one.

Days passed by, and before Yang Hao could use Ji Juechen to comprehend and cultivate his own Sword Intent, his Fire Domain took shape first, and it was incredibly powerful.

The moment it formed, it expanded rapidly, shrouding a radius of a hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

Moreover, this is not an ordinary Fire Domain, but Ultimate Fire.

It is the Ultimate Fire formed by absorbing the Phoenix Flame of Ma Xiaotao, the fire-attribute power of the Ice Fire Spring Water, and the Infernal Delicate Apricot Soul Bone.

It even contains the Ultimate Fire attribute from the Angel Divine Power of Qian Renxue, so its power is naturally extraordinary.

Most importantly, his fire attribute originates from the Chaos Eight-Wing Soul Bone, and since the Chaos Eight-Wing is currently a million-year Soul Bone, the foundation is set there, so the resulting domain is naturally not small.

However, this clearly exceeded Yang Hao's control limit, and the domain showed signs of collapsing.

All that was collapsing was the original power of the Soul Bone's Ultimate Fire attribute; losing even a little would be a major loss.

Yang Hao decisively unleashed his mental power to compress the domain, while simultaneously taking out the stored Milk Bottles to replenish his consumed Soul Power.

The consumption of such a massive domain is naturally not small, and he cannot dispel the domain now; otherwise, if that uncontrollable part of the domain were to collapse, the loss would be immense.

Just as Yang Hao was desperately compressing the domain, it had already ignited the entire villa, and the surrounding trees were also incinerated, bursting into raging flames; even the ground and metal objects began to melt.

Faced with Ultimate Fire, these mundane objects simply could not withstand it.

Fortunately, because of Yang Hao's special status, he lived in a detached villa, which prevented him from harming others.

Such a large commotion naturally attracted the attention of others, who rushed over one after another, only to be horrified.

They were shocked by the power of that Ultimate Fire.

"What an overbearing fire attribute. Could this be the legendary Ultimate Fire?"

Jing Hongchen, who had rushed over, was equally shocked. This fire-attribute power was too overbearing, making even him afraid to get close.

"Wait, is this a domain?"

He soon discovered the mystery within, and Jing Hongchen's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Domain power is not common here in the Sun Moon Empire, but there are a few; he had witnessed it before, and that feeling was unforgettable for a lifetime.

Did that kid awaken a domain?

Thinking of that youth, Jing Hongchen looked even more solemn.

"Everyone return immediately. You are not allowed to linger here."

Jing Hongchen gave the order decisively, then immediately took out a Level 9 defensive Soul Tool and activated it, expanding a massive energy barrier to shroud this area.

The matter of that child still needs to be kept secret; it cannot be known by outsiders.

Although those who came over were curious about the anomaly here, they returned the way they came after hearing the order.

Jing Hongchen waited quietly outside, while Yang Hao spent the entire night compressing the domain to a size of ten meters and stabilizing it.

After compression, the Fire Domain became much more condensed, and its power naturally increased significantly; even the magma within the range began to vaporize, showing just how high the temperature was.

If Yang Hao were not the master of the domain, even his ashes would be hard to leave behind by now.

The stored Milk Bottles were also exhausted, showing just how great the consumption was this time.

"It seems I can no longer keep a low profile."

Glancing at the surrounding magma-covered ground, Yang Hao understood that his own strength no longer allowed him to continue keeping a low profile.
