"That Thunderclap Hell Vine is probably the oldest one in the world..." Jiang Xiu murmured to himself, recalling Zhang Geyang's information.

Zhang Geyang's family is the ruling family of the Spirit Pagoda in successive generations. Although it is not as powerful as the Leng Family and the Qiangu Family, it can still be ranked in the second tier, and it is even the top family in the second tier.

Zhang Geyang was designated as the heir of the Zhang Clan from a young age, and the Soul Spirit prepared for the Zhang Clan were all of the highest quality. Among them, because Zhang Geyang's Martial Soul required a powerful offensive Soul Spirit, the Zhang Clan searched the entire continent and found a ten-thousand-year-old Thunderclap Hell Vine in a valley.

In Jiang Xiu's memory, the Thunderclap Hell Vine, a type of Soul Beast, was extremely special. This race had great difficulty cultivating itself, but it could strengthen itself by absorbing lightning from nature.

Furthermore, by absorbing lightning during cultivation, the rate at which one's cultivation years increase will be several times or even dozens of times.

Even cultivating in the lightning for a year can increase one's lifespan by twenty or thirty years, just like the immortal Immortal Herb within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The reason why the Thunderclap Hell Vine can do this is because it has the bloodline of the Thunder God flowing through its body, just like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a Soul Beast.

However, what brought it success also brought it down. The Thunderclap Hell Vine absorbed a large amount of lightning, and after accumulating to a certain level, it would explode because it could no longer control the lightning within its body.

Therefore, those members of the Thunderclap Hell Vine race who can live for ten thousand years are already exceptionally gifted.

Furthermore, it seems that because the Thunderclap Hell Vine, a Soul Beast, causes widespread disasters every time it absorbs lightning after ten thousand years, it is not tolerated by heaven and earth.

Therefore, even if there is Thunderclap Hell Vine with a cultivation of 100,000 years, it will be struck down by divine retribution when it breaks through the 100,000-year limit.

Born of thunder, and died of thunder.

To this day, no one in the Thunderclap Hell Vine clan has surpassed 100,000 years of cultivation.

As for why the Thunderclap Hell Vine Thunderclap Hell Vine was able to break through 100,000 years after Tang Wulin obtained it, it's because at that time, the Douluo Plane had already been taken over by the "Tang" family.

The Thunderclap Hell Vine that Zhang Geyang absorbed was on the verge of "self-destruction." So, under the persuasion and promises of the Zhang Clan, the Thunderclap Hell Vine, which was about to "self-destruct," finally agreed to become Zhang Geyang's Soul Spirit.

However, one of the conditions is that Zhang Geyang must help him break through 100,000 years of cultivation.

"Master, is this Zhang Geyang also affiliated with the Qiangu Family?" Na'er asked curiously.

"That's right." Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly, a hint of sternness flashing in her eyes, and said softly, "Furthermore, this Zhang Geyang extremely ambitious and has long coveted my position as the deputy Tower Master of headquarters."

"If I'm not mistaken, the condition the Qiangu Family promised the Zhang Clan was that after completely crushing my Leng Family, they would promise to make them the deputy Tower Master."

After realizing the suppression from the Qiangu Family, she has already rallied in the past few years and returned to her former decisive and efficient ways. She has also conducted a lot of investigation into the Zhang Clan.

"When the time comes, it will be time for the identity of the Child of Nature to shine." Hearing this, Jiang Xiu was not worried, but a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Now, Zhang Geyang must know that when the Thunderclap Hell Vine breaks through 100,000 years, it will attract a powerful divine punishment, so he has been restricting the Thunderclap Hell Vine from absorbing the power of thunder.

Therefore, Zhang Geyang is now like a middle-aged, incompetent husband, and Thunderclap Hell Vine have long been dissatisfied with Lei Ting's desires. Thus, the conflict between the two has been brewing for a long time.

Therefore, all he needs to do is reveal his identity Child of Nature and guarantee that the Thunderclap Hell Vine will break through 100,000 years, and there's a high probability that the Thunderclap Hell Vine will be... cough... stolen away by him.

Zhang Geyang possesses more than half of his strength, as well as some of his trump cards, in the Thunderclap Hell Vine. Once the Thunderclap Hell Vine leaves him, Zhang Geyang will be reduced from a top-tier Super Douluo to an ordinary Super Douluo, at which point he will be no longer a threat.

"Master, since you can't arrange for him to go to the Star Luo Continent, why not do what Zhang Geyang did and find a reason to transfer him away from the Star Luo Continent?"

Na'er's eyes suddenly lit up, her intelligence regained its advantage, and she offered a plan.

Jiang Xiu glanced at Na'er in surprise.

Na'er seems to have become smarter, but not quite...

As expected, Leng Yaozhu smiled helplessly, "But Master can't remove him from the Star Luo Continent in the short term. Regardless of whether Qiangu Dongfeng will stop him, Zhang Geyang's foundation on the Star Luo Continent and his connection with the Star Luo Imperial Family alone mean that I can't touch him."

"Oh~, I see." Na'er gave a slightly dejected "oh," and even the silver ahoge on her head tilted to one side.

Over the years, she had come to accept Leng Yaozhu as her master, and now, seeing her master working so hard for this, she, as his apprentice, wanted to help out.

"Boss, it seems you already knew?" Na'er glanced at Jiang Xiu out of the corner of her eye and saw that Jiang Xiu's expression was natural, as if he had expected it all along, so she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The Spirit Pagoda was founded by Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, and now the Star Luo Imperial Family is the White Tiger Dai Clan. The two families have a close relationship. Moreover, the Zhang Clan were among the first families sent by the Spirit Pagoda to the Star Luo Continent to open a branch of the Spirit Pagoda."

Therefore, the Zhang Clan and the Dai Clan the Star Luo Imperial Family have long had a relationship. After thousands of years of development, it's impossible for Aunt Leng to sever this relationship between the Zhang Clan and the royal family in a short time, nor is it possible to transfer Zhang Geyang away from the Star Luo Continent.

Jiang Xiu's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he slowly analyzed the situation.

Back when the Star Luo Empire was in the "War of the Five Gods," the relationship between the current Star Luo Empire Emperor Dai Tianling and Zhang Geyang was already quite unusual.

"Xiao Xiu is right." Leng Yaozhu gave Jiang Xiu an appreciative look, and then said:

"Furthermore, although the Star Luo Empire was defeated by the Sun Moon Empire at the time, after so many years of development, its national strength is now quite remarkable. It not only has experts at the Limit Douluo level, but also a mysterious National Artifact. It is obviously inappropriate to oppose it now."

Upon hearing the words "National Artifact," a glint of light flashed in Jiang Xiu's deep eyes.

This National Artifact of the Star Luo Empire is a crucial element in his acquisition of the Heavenly Saint Sky Saint Rift Halberd, the ultimate Super Divine Artifact of the Abyssal Sage King!

It could even help defeat the Qiangu Family!

This National Artifact is called the Diamond Snare!

The effect of the weapon is simple and invincible: it takes away the enemy's weapon.

It can suppress even divine artifacts, Soul Tool, cold weapons, and even the weapon Martial Soul of Soul Master!

The Sky Saint Rift Halberd was born in the Abyss Plane and is the weapon of the Abyssal Sage King Abyssal Sage King, with whom it has a close connection.

Although it is currently in the hands of the Lie Di, it is not something he can use simply by defeating the Lie Di and seizing it.

The Diamond Snare happens to have the God Level effect of severing the connection between a divine artifact and its host. He didn't know if the Diamond Snare could sever the relationship between the Sky Saint Rift Halberd and the Abyssal Sage King, but he believed that the Diamond Snare could definitely imprison the Sky Saint Rift Halberd temporarily.

Therefore, he needs to find a way to obtain this National Artifact in the future.

Furthermore, the Coiling Dragon Staff Martial Soul of the Qiangu Family is also a weapon Martial Soul, and it will also be restricted by the Diamond Snare.

This is probably one of the reasons why the Qiangu Family do not send their direct descendants to the Star Luo Continent.

"If your Star Luo Empire could seize this divine artifact back then, so can I," Jiang Xiu murmured firmly to himself.

That's right, this artifact did not belong to the Star Luo Empire. Instead, it was obtained by the Star Luo Empire in the present-day Star Luo Continent after it was defeated by the Sun Moon Empire.

At that time, the Star Luo Continent had its own indigenous inhabitants, but these inhabitants were relatively backward and mostly lived in tribes.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Star Luo Empire Star Luo Empire, they all fought against these invaders. The Diamond Snare belonged to an old chieftain of a tribe.

This divine artifact even once made the Martial Soul Titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire unable to raise their heads.

However, the Star Luo Empire's level of advancement far surpasses that of these tribes, so even if these tribes possessed this divine artifact, it would be of no use.

The Star Luo Empire is fighting these tribes just as the Sun Moon Empire did to them in the past.

It's a complete stomp on noobs, a one-sided beatdown.

Jiang Xiu even watched a documentary about this precious event.

Seeing that the Martial Soul Master were no match for the old chieftain, the Star Luo Empire sent out Beast Martial Soul Master to give the old chieftain a righteous beating.

In the documentary, the old chief could be heard muttering, "This is bitter indeed."

In an instant, he was utterly destroyed by several Titled Douluo with Beast Martial Soul souls.

The Star Luo Empire also had effective methods for dealing with these rebellious natives, directly assigning them to work in various manors and plantations.

There are also those who rebel, who receive 100 free draws upon logging in.

The strong and talented individuals of these tribes, after their defeat, were even bought by various powerful families and transported from the Star Luo Continent across the ocean, becoming "best-selling items" at the time.

Jiang Xiu believes that the saying "the trend of history is a spiral upward" is quite true.

Unfortunately, these tribes happened to be part of the spiral, which contributed to the rise of the Star Luo Empire.

"Hey! Since the current Star Luo Imperial Family Dai Clan, and the Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao are related by blood, why didn't Huo Yuhao have the surname 'Dai' back then?"

Na'er seemed to have discovered a blind spot and asked in surprise.

"How do you know Huo Yuhao doesn't have the surname Dai...?" Jiang Xiu muttered to himself, but didn't say it aloud. After all, it was Huo Yuhao's surname after he ascended to the Divine Realm, and the people on the continent didn't know that.

"Alright, let's not talk about these things for now. Every hurdle is difficult, but we'll overcome it one step at a time," Leng Yaozhu said with a wave of her hand and a light laugh.

Just then, Jiang Xiu's Communication Soul Tool suddenly rang.

Jiang Xiu took out his Communication Soul Tool. After seeing the notes on it, his purple eyes flickered slightly, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Why would the Underworld Emperor call me?

Jiang Xiu was puzzled; this was clearly a call from the Underworld Emperor.

Has something big happened?

Jiang Xiu looked at Leng Yaozhu and said apologetically, "Aunt Leng, I have something important to attend to, I'll be going out for a bit."

"No problem," Leng Yaozhu said with a radiant smile.

Jiang Xiu then got up and walked outside.

Looking at Jiang Xiu's youthful and spirited back, Leng Yaozhu's heart trembled slightly, as if she saw that familiar figure, but Jiang Xiu was obviously stronger than him.

"Grow up quickly..." Leng Yaozhu murmured to herself.
