The Son of Heaven's Six-Horse Carriage and Soul Tool Technology

Early the next morning, an elegant and noble carriage drawn by six tall, sturdy, snow-white steeds departed from Skywater City and traveled slowly along the official road of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The carriage was a full three zhang long, and its cabin stood roughly the height of two people. It was crafted entirely from precious ebony, with an exquisite design of a long Fire Flint Gun crossed with a military saber carved into its surface and carefully outlined in gold leaf. It gleamed beneath the morning light, exuding extravagance and nobility.

The coachman at the front of this elegant carriage was none other than Yu Dabao, a seventy-second-level Soul Sage. Five hundred Soul Masters formed an army that accompanied the carriage on both sides.

Seated inside the carriage were, naturally, Yun Duo, Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling.

As the saying went, an emperor traveled with nine horses. As a prince equivalent to the crown prince, he naturally traveled with six.

"Brat, you're taking so many people to Heaven Dou City. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to wipe out some clan or faction. Don't cause too much trouble in Heaven Dou City."

"Tch. If a few hundred Soul Masters can cause trouble in Heaven Dou City, and they can't even suppress that, then that old bastard Xue Ye is too useless."

"Fine, this old man was merely giving you a reminder. By the way, brat, Shui Yunxi told me a few days ago that you not only used a large amount of Gold Soul Coins from your family treasury, but also took out three Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones?"

"Yes, that's right. I had Aunt Yunxi use those Gold Soul Coins to help me purchase some things, including large quantities of herbs and metals."

"I can understand why you're using so many Gold Soul Coins to buy herbs. You're probably planning to refine medicinal baths and pills for sale, earning yourself a great deal of resources and wealth."

"But what are you buying so much metal for? Forging weapons and armor? I thought the hundred thousand soldiers under your command weren't lacking weapons or armor. Don't tell me you're planning to rebel against the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"Oh, rebelling against the Heaven Dou Empire? I hadn't considered that before. You've given me a reminder, old man. Besides, even if I really did rebel, so what?"

"No matter what, half the blood of the Xue Family of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family flows through my veins. If I truly had the ability to ascend to the supreme throne of the Heaven Dou Empire, then strictly speaking, it wouldn't count as rebellion. It would be Xue Ye stepping down and yielding the throne to someone worthy."

"Tsk, you brat have said both the good and bad parts yourself. Still, don't act recklessly. Unless it's necessary, I advise you not to purchase such large quantities of metal."

"And don't forget, there are still a hundred thousand soldiers in your family's fief waiting for the Yun Family to feed them. The monthly military pay alone for an army of one hundred thousand is an astronomical sum."

"If something really goes wrong, the military expenses alone could drag the Yun Family down. Not to mention that the army's morale might collapse by then."

"Old man, don't worry. The medicinal baths and pills I make will be enough to make us a fortune. What you're talking about definitely won't happen!"

"The reason I asked Aunt Yunxi to help purchase so much metal is naturally to create the Soul Tool Technology I mentioned to you before."

"Hm? Soul Tool Technology? Little Brother Yun Duo, could the Soul Tool Technology you mentioned be Soul Tools?"

"Sister Yanzi is right. I mean the Spatial Storage Soul Tools we use all the time. To create Soul Tools, we need large quantities of metal, especially rare metals."

"Hm, you did mention Soul Tool Technology to this old man before. But creating Soul Tools only requires metal? If that's the case, it really could bring in a great deal of resources and wealth."

"Old man, what are you thinking? The metal needed to manufacture Soul Tools is only the first step. The crucial part is engraving the Soul Tool Formation you want to create onto the metal. If there is even the slightest mistake, the entire piece of metal will be ruined."

"Likewise, Soul Tools have grades just like us Soul Masters. From lowest to highest, they range from Level One to Level Nine, corresponding respectively to One-Ring Soul Warriors, Two-Ring Soul Masters, Three-Ring Soul Elders, Four-Ring Soul Ancestors, Five-Ring Soul Kings, Six-Ring Soul Emperors, Seven-Ring Soul Sages, Eight-Ring Soul Douluos, and Nine-Ring Titled Douluos."

"Besides their grades, Soul Tools are also divided into several major categories. Apart from the Spatial Storage Soul Tools commonly used in the Soul Master world, there are Combat-Type Soul Tools that allow support-system Soul Masters without offensive abilities to gain combat power, Soul Tools that grant defensive abilities like those of defense-type Soul Masters, Soul Tools that let Soul Masters recover quickly like support Soul Masters, and so on."

"There are also Assault-Type Soul Cannons with destructive power comparable to a Titled Douluo, Interference-Type Soul Tools capable of disrupting an enemy's use of soul skills, Concealment-Type Soul Tools that can hide the user's aura and movements, and more. These different types of Soul Tools play unique and important roles in Soul Masters' combat, daily lives, and cultivation. They not only enrich Soul Masters' combat methods and survival capabilities, but will gradually change the combat landscape of the Soul Master world in the future as well..."

Inside the exquisite, luxurious, and well-insulated carriage, Yun Duo slowly explained Soul Tools to Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, who were all curious about them.

"Of course, given our current circumstances, producing high-grade Soul Tools won't be easy. By my estimate, across the entire Douluo Continent, only once my strength reaches the Titled Douluo level will I be able to easily create Level Nine Soul Tools."

"For now, I plan to create some lower-grade Soul Tools and sell them to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then fleece them hard. Being able to give their support-system Soul Masters, who lack offensive abilities, combat power will surely be absolutely irresistible to them."

After pouring out all the knowledge about Soul Tools that he knew, Yun Duo picked up the cup before him and drained the tea inside in one gulp.

Just as he had said, creating high-grade Soul Tools was currently impossible—not only on the entire Douluo Continent, but even on the present-day Sun-Moon Continent.

Even he, who possessed the entire Soul Tool Technology Tree, needed time to build up his foundation slowly!

After all, in the original story, the Sun-Moon Continent only developed Soul Tool Technology to the Level Nine standard after ten thousand years.

"Ah, so becoming a high-level Soul Engineer not only requires spending so many resources and Gold Soul Coins, but also requires powerful strength and spiritual power as support."

"Yes, Soul Engineers are indeed a completely new path. Their impact is quite apparent, whether for those clans and factions, the two great empires, or even the entire Soul Master world. But likewise, becoming a Soul Engineer is truly very difficult."

After hearing Yun Duo's explanation, both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were astonished.
