Ah Yin's Breakthrough

The year 2617 of the Douluo Calendar has passed, and all has been uneventful. ✌👣 💛🍭

In this year, Lingyun City rose from the ground on Green Cloud Mountain, a branch of the Heavenly Spirit Mountain Range in the very center of the Douluo Continent, and became the new headquarters of the Green Wood Merchant Association.

In this year, Emperor Xue Rong of the Heaven Dou Empire began selecting a consort for Crown Prince Xue Ye, causing unrest among many nobles within the empire and its affiliated kingdoms and duchies.

In this year, friction broke out again on the border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. Only nine years had passed since the last major war between the two sides, and a major war could break out again at any time.

That year, Tang Hao, the young sect master of the Clear Sky Sect, broke through to level 70 at the age of thirty, becoming the youngest Soul Saint of his generation in the Douluo Continent.

That year, Tang Hao, who had achieved the title of Soul Saint, traveled together with his elder Tang Xiao was also Soul Saint, on the Douluo Continent and earned the name "Clear Sky Twin Stars".

The above are the major events in the Douluo Continent that are well-known this year.

As for the Bibi Dong Yu Xiaogang's encounter with Bibi Dong of the Spirit Hall in Yelin City, Yu Xiaogang's Doudou joining of Lingyun City, and Chen Jianjun and his son Chen Xin settling in Lingyun City, these matters were not known to the outside world except to those involved.

Or rather, few people would care whether a Two-Ring Grand Soul Master who is not even Soul Elder joins Lingyun City, and few people know that Chen Jianjun and his son Chen Xin are a Level 96 Super Douluo and a level 85 Soul Douluo who will definitely break through to the Titled Douluo level within ten years.

In fact, throughout the entire Lingyun City, many people knew of the existence of the Chen Family father and son, but very few knew their true strength.

According to information from some well-informed individuals outside the city, two powerful individuals at the Soul Saint level or above have settled in Lingyun City.

Including the "Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor" Dugu Bo, "Lingyun City" boasts three Soul Saint, which, in the Douluo Continent, barely qualifies it as a second-rate power.

Of course, the reason why Lingyun City was able to enter the eyes of various forces on the continent was never because of Dugu Bo's Soul Saint level strength, nor because of Ling Yi's healing ability, which was comparable to Soul Emperor or even Soul Saint. Rather, it was because of the intricate network of relationships between Ling Yi and various top and first-class forces on the continent.

Just like the predecessor of Lingyun City, the Green Wood Merchant Association, its business network covers every city and town in the Douluo Continent, and its influence is only slightly inferior to that of the Spirit Hall. Even the two great empires, the Upper Three Sects, the Lower Four Sects, and the seven major families of the Great Soul Fighting Arena Alliance, etc., have a significant decline in influence after leaving their own territories, but the Green Wood Merchant Association can thrive wherever it goes.

It has to be said that even the Spirit Hall takes notice of this ability!

However, after studying the secrets to the success of the Green Wood Merchant Association, all parties had to admit that they could not replicate the development strategy of forming alliances, making concessions, and coexisting with local forces wherever they went.

The success of the Green Wood Merchant Association, aside from the concessions, was primarily due to its development from scratch. Because its initial strength was neither too high nor too low, it was able to rely on the connections and reputation of its chairman Ling Yi, to successfully establish diplomatic relations with various forces.

If the [Green Wood Merchant Association] were truly powerful, Lower Four Sects, with one or two or more Soul Douluo -level experts within their sects or families, many forces would worry about being swallowed up. If it possessed Titled Douluo- level combat power like the Upper Three Sects, smaller forces might fawn over it, but forces like the seven great families behind the [Great Soul Fighting Arena Alliance], or the Noble Rank territories of the two great empires, would resist, even if it meant forfeiting a prize, and would be unwilling to cooperate.

Although basic education is lacking in the Douluo Continent, after thousands of years of social development, some scheming and manipulative people still have some fertile ground to survive.

However, if the Green Wood Merchant Association of Commerce were weak, for example, without the Soul Saint Dugu Bo, it would be an insignificant force in the entire Douluo Continent.

Such a force is confined to a corner, and its influence is barely enough to cover a large city. Even though Ling Yi has the Blacksmith Association behind him, is the third-ranked Divine Craftsman on the continent, and is the grand-nephew of the Soul Douluo Tie Futu, there is still a layer of relationship between them. After all, the president of the Blacksmith Association is Lou Gao, not Ling Yi.

Without Soul Saint Dugu Bo, the Green Wood Merchant Association's business network would never have been able to extend to the entire Douluo Continent. Basically, once a branch was opened, it would be quickly swallowed up by local forces.

In this extraordinary worldview where personal power is attributed to oneself, Seven-Ring Soul Sage can sit at the Douluo Continent's table. Although he is still not qualified to play a card, he still has a place to join in the fun.

Just like in the neighboring "Ninja Village Melee World", only Jonin are qualified to participate in village meetings, and even have the right to vote when selecting the village's Kage.

Regardless of how many people are swayed by the trend to vote, the votes they hold do represent their strength and status, unlike Ling Yi in his previous life, who, apart from the internet, had only ever voted in real life when electing class officers in school.

In terms of power systems, Douluo Continent and "Ninja Village Melee" do have some similarities.

All sorts of attributes, even those that are particularly high-level in both online novel worldviews and real worldviews, have become attribute forces with a status similar to those of metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness.

In addition, there are two dominant figures who are far above the rest, each capable of suppressing all forces on the continent except for the other.

In addition, there are concepts such as bloodline theory, views on love, and technology trees, where the blood relatives of the strong are all strong, one person can destroy the world, and technological power is not valued...

One by one, the creators of these two worlds might actually share a certain resonance in their worldviews.

On the cliff behind the City Lord’s Mansion in Lingyun City, Ling Yi looked at the snow-covered mountains blending into the sky, his mind racing with thoughts.

Time flies, and it has already arrived at February 14th, 2618 of the Douluo Calendar. After about a year of operation, Lingyun City has basically gotten on the right track. As long as it follows the direction set by Ling Yi step by step, it will become a new top power in the Douluo Continent in at most ten years.

At that time, with the foundation of Lingyun City, it will be able to completely squeeze the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect out of the Upper Three Sects and take its place as one of the new Upper Three Sects!

It's important to understand that the current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is not the super power in the original future timeline that possessed two Titled Douluo, ' Sword Douluo ' Chen Xin and ' Bone Douluo ' Gu Rong.

The current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can defeat four other schools, including the Elephant Armor Sect and the Star Crown Sect, becoming one of the Upper Three Sects alongside the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. This is not because they possess Titled Douluo.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect currently only possesses Titled Douluo- level combat power.

Back then, the former sect leader Ning Caicheng, with the strength of a level 79 Soul Saint, assisted his two wives, who were level 88 and 89 Soul Douluo, to briefly create two Titled Douluo- level combatants. They withstood the defeat of the Level 95 Titled Douluo former sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which established the prestige of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect one of the Upper Three Sects.

The current sect leader, Ning Mofan, became a level 79 Soul Saint long ago. Two of his three wives have also broken through to the Soul Douluo realm in recent years. Although they have only just broken through, even with Ning Mofan's assistance and amplification, they have not yet reached the level of Titled Douluo. However, the previous sect leader and the two sect leaders' wives are still alive, which is enough to maintain the status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

→

Everyone was waiting, either for Ning Caicheng's two wives to successfully break through to the Titled Douluo and lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to surpass the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan; or for the two old ladies to fail in their breakthrough, suffer a decline in their Qi and Blood, and be severely injured, causing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to fall from its position among the Upper Three Sects.

But regardless of which one, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is truly no match for Chen Jianjun, who possesses the power of a level 96 Super Douluo, and Chen Xin, who has become a Title Douluo and is known as the "Sword Douluo."

Unless the two old ladies successfully break through to the next level, and ' Bone Douluo ' Gu Rong joins the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect according to his destiny, it will not be able to compare with Lingyun City ten years later.

Thinking of the messages sent back by those "comrades" after they joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ling Yi deduced from various clues that the old sect master Ning Caicheng now over eighty years old and his strength had probably declined considerably. The two old ladies had not appeared for several years, so their breakthroughs were probably not going well.

These two old ladies were even older than Ning Caicheng. Since they had failed to break through to the Titled Douluo, their Origin of Life was at most slightly stronger than that of ordinary people. In addition, they had experienced many battles, big and small, over the years. Each injury caused their Origin of Life to diminish to some extent, so it seemed that their lifespans were coming to an end.

Once these three Sea God of the previous generation fall, it will be extremely difficult for Ning Mofan and his three wives to uphold the position of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect among the Upper Three Sects.

In terms of wealth, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is as rich as a country, but without sufficient strength to protect it, in a world where power determines status, the richer one is, the more dangerous one becomes.

Ling Yi wondered if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would fall, and if he could team up with the Blacksmith Association, which was already comparable to the Lower Four Sects, to reap the benefits.

As the saying goes, "When a whale falls, all things come to life," with the size of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, even taking only a small bite would be enough to save Lingyun City and the Blacksmith Association more than ten years of development time.

As for the Clear Sky Sect, Ling Yi is now certain that Tang Zhen, the "Heaven-Shaking Douluo," is experiencing health problems. Once this news reaches the Spirit Hall, given Qian Xunji's personality, he will definitely test them step by step. Even without Ah Yin's presence, Tang Hao's talent alone would be enough to prompt Qian Xunji to take some action.

With Qian Xunji and the Spirit Hall leading the charge, Ling Yi could easily pick off some stragglers from the shadows.

Thinking about this, Ling Yi felt a little excited.

However, when he thought of the information he had deduced when he entered "Superego Mode" last time and constructed a biological supercomputer using the "Blue Silver Small World" in the outside world, Ling Yi suddenly lost much of his desire for fame and fortune.

Looking up at the gray-black blizzard that was beginning to spread across the distant horizon, a shadow of gloom flashed in Ling Yi's eyes.

Compared to certain beings, Chen Jianjun, a level 96 Super Douluo currently residing in Lingyun City at the foot of the mountain, is nothing special.

"Let's take it one step at a time," Ling Yi finally sighed and gave up his radical idea.

The confidence gained from the addition of Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin can only apply to the current Douluo Continent and the current Soul Master World.

Just then, Ling Yi had a sudden thought and turned to look into the depths of the Green Cloud Mountain range.

He could sense that in this icy and snowy environment, a life force was awakening and growing stronger.

"Ah Yin?" Ling Yi murmured softly.

"Blue Silver Valley" is in that direction. Ah Yin went there to cultivate in seclusion a couple of days ago, preparing to break through to level 60.

Is a breakthrough imminent?

With this thought in mind, Ling Yi immediately leaped off the cliff and rushed towards the direction from which the life force was emanating.

Soon, when Ling Yi arrived at the cliff outside the Blue Silver Valley, before he even got close, a figure in green pounced over.

Upon seeing Ling Yi's face clearly, the figure in blue immediately stopped in his tracks, carving a path more than ten meters long in the snow, which was about a foot thick, before finally coming to a halt.

Ling Yi glanced at the "Wind Shadow Leopard" parked not far away. Before he could speak, a gray figure darted out from the snow and leaped to Ling Yi's side.

"Meow Meow ~" Ling Yi raised his hand and patted the Meow Meow's head, saying, "You and Wind Shadow keep watch around, I'll go in and take a look."

After saying that, he withdrew his hand from the top of the Meow Meow's head to its neck, and walked towards the valley where spring lasts all year round under its gaze.

Due to the large number of high-age "Blue Silver Grass" in the valley, the environment inside "Blue Silver Valley" is completely opposite to the icy and snowy world outside.

Warm air currents enveloped the valley, and snowflakes melted into Sisi of rain before they even fell, then merged into the thin mist of spiritual energy within the valley.

Thanks to Ling Yi and Ah Yin's tireless efforts over the past two years, the concentration of spiritual energy in the Blue Silver Valley has almost caught up with the two great treasures Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Lake of Life.

Eleven years ago, Ling Yi had already developed the "Abundant Vitality Spirit Gathering Array Diagram" based on his own "First Soul Skill - Vibrant Abundant Vitality".

A year and a half ago, when Ling Yi arrived at the Blue Silver Valley in the Green Cloud Mountain Range, he used two ten-thousand-year-old "Blue Silver King," one ice and one fire, as the array's core, supplemented by other "Blue Silver Grass" of different ages and attributes as nodes and circuits, to construct a super Spirit Gathering Array here.

As various thoughts raced through his mind, wherever Ling Yi passed, the stems and leaves of the "Blue Silver Grass" swayed gently, as if welcoming the king's inspection.

Even those three ancient "Blue Silver King" still bowed their stems and leaves to Ling Yi, expressing their submission.

Even kings are not all the same.

Just like in Ling Yi's previous life, in history, there were also "Kings of Qin" who were called Ying Zheng, Li Shimin, Zhao Tingmei, Zhu Shuang, etc. Everyone has their own judgment on how much difference there is in their reputation.

Not to mention that Ling Yi's Martial Soul "Azure Wood Blue Silver King" has already taken a different path from "Blue Silver Grass", just based on its original age, Ling Yi's "Azure Wood Blue Silver King" has reached a level of more than 49,000 years. In contrast, the three "Blue Silver King" in this valley, even the oldest "Crimson Flame Blue Silver King" and "Frost Blue Silver King", are only 15,000 years old.

Passing over the "Blue Silver Grass" plants, Ling Yi arrived at the center of the valley, where a slender figure stood with her back to him in the hazy spiritual mist.

"Ah Yin..."

As soon as Ling Yi called out softly, the figure turned her head and smiled gently.

In an instant, the valley full of "Blue Silver Grass" seemed to bloom with flowers, a breathtaking sight!

Ah Yin has broken through! The real show is about to begin!

To be continued tomorrow, goodnight everyone~
