Douluo: Founding the Heavenly Court from the Holy Spirit Cult

Without delay, he used his Fire Domain to absorb the energy within the magma. Once the fire elements were extracted, the scorching magma rapidly cooled and solidified.

"Many thanks to the Dean for your assistance in shielding this."

After absorbing the energy from the magma, Yang Hao expressed his gratitude to Jing Hongchen.

"Xiao Feng, your achievements are truly shocking. In the future, I hope you will provide some guidance to my grandson and granddaughter."

With a meaningful tone, Jing Hongchen had already made his decision; there was no need for hesitation.

This child's potential was terrifying. As long as he did not perish prematurely, he would surely become a Super Douluo in the future, or perhaps even a Limit Douluo.

Coupled with the Life Soul Tool he had already forged, he was destined to become a Level 10 Soul Master.

The superposition of these two systems of power would absolutely yield a result greater than the sum of its parts. His future was boundless.

With such potential, having his grandchildren follow him would certainly be the right move. If possible, he even wanted to play matchmaker between this child and his own Meng'er.

This could also serve as a retreat. Although he had chosen to support the Crown Prince, it was said that accompanying a monarch is like accompanying a tiger.

His Highness the Crown Prince currently needed his power for support, but it was hard to say what would happen after he ascended the throne.

The heart of an emperor is the most difficult to fathom; keeping a backup plan would provide peace of mind.

Yang Hao feigned a moment of stunned silence before reacting, nodding solemnly.

"I certainly will."

"I have already arranged a new residence for you, but please, do not let such a situation occur again."

Jing Hongchen was very satisfied, and immediately gestured for him to head to the new residence.

"My apologies, this was an accident. It won't happen again."

Yang Hao said apologetically; this time, it truly had been an accident.

The main reason was that his foundation in Ultimate Fire was too profound—it was the most robust among the ten elemental attributes of his Chaos Eight Wings, so the power that erupted this time was naturally the strongest.

At the same time, this was the primary reason he chose the fire attribute as his breakthrough point to evolve his first domain. Had he chosen any other attribute, he likely wouldn't even have evolved a prototype by now.

But this was a one-time occurrence; the evolution of domains for other attributes would not be this violent. With this experience, he could keep things stable.

Chapter 63: Blazing Fire Mysterious Ice Skill

"Boss, I've missed you so much!"

The moment Xiao Hongchen arrived, he wanted to give his boss a warm hug, his eyes burning with fervor.

One had to realize that this was a domain; even Title Douluos found it difficult to awaken one.

Yet, once a domain was awakened, one was destined to become a top-tier powerhouse in the future.

Most importantly, considering his boss's current age and rank, this was nothing short of a miracle.

If only he could awaken domain power as soon as possible...

Thinking of this, Xiao Hongchen's heart burned even brighter.

He had decided that this was his boss!

As for his previous cold and aloof persona? To hell with it; domains were the only thing that mattered.

Yang Hao dodged the youth's embrace; he had no habit of hugging men.

"Boss, Grandfather told us to join your Bright Cult. Please, Boss, guide our cultivation."

Meng Hongchen stepped forward, pushed her brother aside to state their grandfather's intentions, and simultaneously took out a box to hand over.

This was the gift prepared by their grandfather.

"This is the Red Dust Shelter, a Level 9 trigger-type defensive soul tool crafted by my grandfather. It can be activated and deactivated with a thought, and there is no rank restriction for the user; even a one-ring soul master can use it. Its defensive effect is comparable to the user's full-power strike, but it only consumes one-fifth of the soul power required for that strike. At its peak, it can withstand an attack from a Super Douluo."

This Red Dust Shelter was their grandfather's masterpiece; its defensive power was extremely formidable and highly practical.

"The Dean is truly willing to invest in you two."

Yang Hao was surprised as he put away the Red Dust Shelter.

This was a purely defensive soul tool, with defensive capabilities even surpassing the Cold Jade Heart. It was a rare and precious treasure.

When paired with a high-level Milk Bottle to store the soul power of ten thousand souls, the resulting defense would be sufficient to withstand an attack from a Super Douluo.

"Perform Martial Soul Possession. I need to examine your bodies and martial soul characteristics, then I will impart techniques that suit you."

He gestured for the two to activate their martial souls; next, he would tailor cultivation techniques specifically for them.

He had long since mastered the Mysterious Heaven Skill and understood the mysteries of internal energy cultivation.

In short, it was merely the theory of refining essence into qi and the Yin Yang Five Elements. With an understanding of these theories, he could evolve techniques of any attribute.

"I'll go first!"

Xiao Hongchen was the first to undergo Martial Soul Possession. Yang Hao placed his palm on his shoulder, circulating his soul power and mental energy to sense the martial soul's attributes.

The Three-Legged Golden Toad was, as the name suggested, a gold-attribute martial soul. Yang Hao was quite familiar with the gold attribute; he had even created the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

After sensing the characteristics of the Three-Legged Golden Toad martial soul, Yang Hao began to evolve a compatible technique, slowly circulating his own soul power through Xiao Hongchen's meridians.

"Remember the trajectory of my soul power circulation, and also, it's going to hurt a bit, so bear with it."

After this reminder, Yang Hao continued to circulate his soul power, even integrating a portion of the power from the Gold of Life to cleanse his marrow and open up his Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

The Eight Extraordinary Meridians play a significant role in internal energy cultivation; once opened, cultivation efficiency increases geometrically, while soul power circulates faster during combat and forms a protective aura.

This was actually similar to how Tang San opened the Eight Extraordinary Meridians for Tang Hao ten thousand years ago, the only difference being that Tang San relied on his own cultivation, while Yang Hao relied on the power of the Gold of Life.

Beyond that, the toxins accumulated from Xiao Hongchen's repeated consumption of medicinal drugs were also purged.

A portion was circulated through the blood circulatory system into the intestines, while another portion was expelled through the pores via sweat.

Meng Hongchen had been watching curiously from the side, but she couldn't stay for long; she quickly ran far away and pinched her nose.

The smell was simply too overpowering.

Xiao Hongchen, however, was unaware of this, as his attention was entirely focused on his own body.

Aside from the initial pain, what followed was a sense of comfort, as if his entire body and mind had become light.

Most importantly, the trajectory of his soul power circulation made his cultivation efficiency many times greater than his previous Meditation Method.

His soul power also gradually became more condensed and pure during the circulation process.

As for Yang Hao, he had long since put on a gas mask.

Once Xiao Hongchen was able to control his soul power to circulate on its own, Yang Hao finally withdrew his palm.

"Will I be like that too?"

Meng Hongchen began to get cold feet; she was a girl, after all.

"That was just the toxins accumulated in the body from excessive drug use; only by purging them can your foundation be solidified."

Yang Hao signaled for her to hurry up; he didn't want to stay here any longer. The smell of excrement being sprayed from pores was truly too intense, even for a gas mask to fully block.

"Then let's do it."

Meng Hongchen gritted her teeth and took out the protective suit she used for researching poisons to wear.

Since she couldn't avoid the process, she would at least ensure no one could see or smell her.

Yang Hao pressed his palm onto the girl's shoulder, performing the same operation: first sensing the characteristics of the girl's martial soul, then evolving a compatible cultivation technique.

The Vermilion-Eyed Ice Toad is a rare soul beast possessing opposing attributes—ice and fire—and it generates terrifying toxins through the clash of these two elements.

This is similar to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, though the power formed by the clash of ice and fire in the well is beneficial rather than toxic, which is why those Immortal Grasses can grow at ten times the speed.

Yang Hao had previously used the Ice Fire Spring Water to temper his body, gaining some insight into its mysteries, which he now applied to Meng Hongchen.

Beyond that, it was the same process of cleansing the marrow and opening the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

He thought highly of these two and saw an opportunity to fully win them over in the future, so naturally, he had to cultivate them well.

Moreover, there were too many enemies to face in the future, especially "cheat-users" like Huo Yuhao; he needed powerful teammates to assist him, rather than charging in alone.

In this regard, one could look at the methods of God King Tang from ten thousand years ago, who used Immortal Grasses to cultivate six powerful teammates, which was the only way the Spirit Hall Empire was eventually destroyed.

After spending half an hour completing the marrow cleansing and meridian opening, and confirming that Meng Hongchen had memorized the technique and could circulate her soul power on her own, Yang Hao hurried out of the room.

He went to Mingde Hall as usual to receive guidance from Jing Hongchen on crafting Soul Tools, spent the afternoon reading in the library, and exchanged Milk Bottles sealed with Xu Tianran's soul power with Ju Zi, continuing to devour the destruction attribute within them to strengthen his Wings of Destruction.

It wasn't until he returned in the evening that he saw Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen sitting in the first-floor living room waiting for him; both had already bathed and changed their clothes.

The skin exposed on their bodies was bright red, clearly the result of vigorous scrubbing.

"Boss, from now on, you are my own big brother."

Seeing his boss return, Xiao Hongchen hurried forward to greet him, acting like a sycophant.

There was no helping it; the effect was simply too intoxicating.

This new cultivation method integrated his previous Meditation Method, but the effect was three times stronger—that was triple the cultivation efficiency.

"Boss, what is the name of the cultivation method you passed on to me?"

Meng Hongchen asked curiously; this cultivation method was indeed powerful, and it was different from her brother's.

"Blazing Fire Mysterious Ice Skill."

Yang Hao thought for a moment and gave it a name.

This was the name of a martial art from a Hong Kong comic, one of the few that possessed both ice and fire attributes, so he just borrowed it.

"Blazing Fire Mysterious Ice Skill."

After muttering it to herself, Meng Hongchen was quite satisfied.

"What is my cultivation method?"

Xiao Hongchen was full of anticipation, but the next moment, he was stunned.

"Toad Technique."

"Huh?"
