Stirring Up Public Opinion

Du Busi suddenly saw the light, then added, "How about we steal the Golden Tree?"

"We can't steal it yet. That old bastard Mu En is still alive. What we need to do now is prevent Yuhao from forming ties with Shrek, the Clear Sky Sect, or the Tang Sect. Once he becomes connected to them, Yuhao's immense fortune will be shared with them, allowing them to turn danger into safety and encounter good luck at every turn. Now that Yuhao is in the Body Sect, it is as though the Body Sect has gained a Humanoid Auspicious Beast. Whatever we do, even breaking through realms, will become easier. That is the effect of Yuhao's great fortune."

"Mhm, mhm, mhm." Du Busi nodded repeatedly, his eyes shining brightly. "And then?"

"First, send people to spread the news that Shrek Academy is colluding with the Holy Spirit Cult. I'll fabricate some information, and you can have people circulate it. Oh, and the Body Sect must not be exposed. We cannot let Shrek Academy know that our Body Sect did it."

"What about you? Is there anything you need?"

"I need information on Soul Beasts over ten thousand years old with mental and spatial attributes. Preferably dual-attribute ones. Single spatial-attribute Soul Beasts will do as well. The higher the quality, the better."

"Fine. Before you reach Rank 40, I'll find one for you."

"Also, my Soul Power is somewhat unstable. Does the Body Sect have any methods for condensing Soul Power?"

"Yes. We have quite a few secret techniques in that regard. I'll find them for you tomorrow."

At that moment, Du Busi was brimming with confidence. Huo Yuhao was a Child of Destiny, while Uchiha Huan's talent was heaven-defying. Moreover, the current tide favored their Body Sect.

If Uchiha Huan and Huo Yuhao could become gods together, then for the next ten thousand years, their Body Sect would stand at the peak of the Douluo Continent.

The tide currently favored the Body Sect, but that did not mean the Body Sect was invincible.

Before most powers, great fortune could bring advantages, making everything develop in a favorable direction. But before absolute strength, great fortune was nothing more than a Chihuahua.

And the Body Sect did not possess absolute strength. Du Busi was only Rank 98 at present.

Uchiha Huan took out the Primordial Unity Immortal Herb and handed it to Du Busi.

"This is?"

"An Immortal Herb. The Shrek Seven Monsters from ten thousand years ago were able to become gods because of Immortal Herbs. This one is the Primordial Unity Immortal Herb. It can strengthen one's origin and increase Soul Power." Uchiha Huan said, "Now that Yuhao is also your disciple, perhaps you can try breaking through to Rank 99."

Du Busi's heart thumped wildly. "Where did you find it?"

"The Icefire Yin-Yang Well." Uchiha Huan pointed at his eyes. "These eyes of mine can see the future and uncover many secrets."

"Haha..." Du Busi laughed loudly. "What about Yuhao?"

"No rush. Yuhao is still too weak. Even if we give him an Immortal Herb now, he would not be able to absorb it completely. Once he reaches Rank 30, he can take an Immortal Herb to push his bloodline to the gold level, then undergo his Second Awakening."

"I'll be going down the mountain for a while. Be wary of a girl from the Clear Sky Sect named Wang Dong'er. She is Tang San's daughter. I suspect Tang San will arrange for his daughter to enter the Body Sect."

"Then I simply won't accept her."

"It's useless. Do you think something like this can be avoided just because you refuse to accept her?"

"It's fine. With you around, I'm not afraid that Yuhao will be schemed against."

"I'll be going down the mountain for a while."

"What for?"

"To seek my opportunity."

"With me alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to outscheme Tang San."

"Idiot. If Wang Dong'er comes, send Yuhao down the mountain. As a Child of Destiny, Yuhao's opportunities lie outside as well. He cannot stay on the mountain forever. As long as Wang Dong'er and Yuhao do not meet, that will be enough."

"Should we send someone to follow him?"

"Have someone follow him, but don't force it. Some opportunities belong to Yuhao alone. Most likely, he will still end up separated from whoever is secretly protecting him."

The next day, Du Busi brought Uchiha Huan a great number of methods for condensing Soul Power.

"Will these be useful? If they aren't enough, I can send people outside to search. There are always some reclusive families that possess exclusive secret techniques."

"No need. These are enough." Uchiha Huan said, "By the way, Sect Master, I also have some Self-Created Soul Skills. Both you and Yuhao can practice them."

Uchiha Huan handed Du Busi a Ninjutsu Scroll.

Du Busi began reading the ninjutsu in Uchiha Huan's room.

"Strange. These Self-Created Soul Skills are vastly different from the Soul Skills on the continent. You aren't a native of the Four Great Empires, are you?"

"I come from overseas," Uchiha Huan said.

"No wonder."

"I also need a method for condensing a Soul Core."

"Isn't it too early for you to need a Soul Core condensation method?"

"I estimate that around Rank 50, I'll be able to begin condensing one. My Mental Power has already reached Rank 99."

After thinking for a moment, Du Busi still went to retrieve a Soul Core condensation method and gave it to Uchiha Huan.

"Before your Soul Power is sufficient, do not casually attempt to condense a Soul Core. The circulation method of Soul Power can be altered. If you fail to complete the Soul Core condensation after changing its circulation path, it can easily result in irreversible consequences," Du Busi warned.

"Understood."

"I've already sent people to search for a suitable Soul Beast for you. Wait a few more days."

"As long as it is found before I reach Rank 40."

Uchiha Huan began studying the methods of condensing Soul Power.

This was what Uchiha Huan needed most at the moment. Meanwhile, Huo Yuhao truly experienced the warmth of a home in the Body Sect.

The ice in Huo Yuhao's heart also began to melt little by little.

That day, Huo Yuhao was sparring with Uchiha Huan when Long Aotian came to find them.

"Xiao Huan, I want to duel you."

"Huh? Why?" Uchiha Huan looked utterly confused.

He had only met Long Aotian once, on the day he joined the sect.

He had not seen Long Aotian again recently, so why had Long Aotian suddenly come looking for him and challenged him to a duel?

"Teacher said that you are the Young Sect Master of our Body Sect. I refuse to accept that."

Uchiha Huan scratched his head. He had not expected Du Busi to make such a decision.

Normally, Long Aotian or Huo Yuhao would have been more suitable.

Long Aotian was Du Busi's eldest disciple. He possessed outstanding talent and had grown up in the Body Sect, making him a true-blooded Body Sect disciple.

Huo Yuhao was a Child of Destiny and also Du Busi's disciple. His future accomplishments were likewise destined to be extraordinary.

However, both of them were blockheads with little brains.

In the future war against the Sun Moon Empire's invasion, Long Aotian would die after being blown up by a Level-Nine Fixed-Installation Soul Cannon Shell while protecting Princess Vina. That also showed his character.

Uchiha Huan guessed that Du Busi was afraid the two of them would get sold off and still help count the money, which was why he had placed the title of Young Sect Master on his head.

"Fine." Having figured out the key to it, Uchiha Huan no longer refused.

Everyone in the Body Sect had this kind of temperament. If they accepted something, they accepted it. If they did not, they said so openly. They did not play dirty tricks.

Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black—six Spirit Rings moved beneath Long Aotian's feet. It was an over-limit Spirit Ring configuration. Golden light spread over his body. His Body Martial Soul was the highest-grade Skin Martial Soul, and his entire body brimmed with vigorous blood energy.

When Long Aotian appeared in the original story, he was already a Seven-Ring Soul Sage. It was still several years earlier now, but his Soul Power was already extremely close to Rank 70. The Soul Power throughout his body was full and solid, without the slightest trace of instability.

Uchiha Huan took a deep breath. A powerful aura surged from his body, and vigorous blood energy continuously spilled out like steam.

"Come!"
