Today, unsurprisingly, the age of all his Soul Ring has increased to 6,500 years.
However, none of the Soul Ring provided a significant improvement in skill level.

This day.
Gui Yuan found Bibi Dong and said to her, "Teacher, I want to go out and train for a while, to see the scenery of the continent outside Spirit City."
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, her eyes filled with confusion and concern. "Isn't it good to stay in the Spirit Hall? There are the most complete cultivation resources, and there are dedicated people to look after you and spar with you. Why do you suddenly want to go out?"
Seeing this, Gui Yuan took the opportunity to tug at Bibi Dong's arm and gently shake it, his tone carrying a hint of boyish coquetry:
"Teacher, isn't it too monotonous and boring to stay in the Spirit Hall all the time? There's nothing to do every day except cultivate. I've really wanted to go out and see the world for a long time and broaden my horizons."
"Furthermore, with my current cultivation level, ordinary cultivation resources are no longer very effective for me, teacher, you know that."
"But your safety is always the top priority." Bibi Dong's tone was worried, clearly indicating that she was already considering refusing. "The continent is full of hidden talents, and it's inevitable that you'll encounter those with ill intentions. Even if you have the ability to protect yourself, there's no guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen."
Gui Yuan smiled confidently, "Teacher, don't you know my strength?"
"I am now Soul Emperor, with exquisitely combined Soul Skill and the divine artifact Darkin Bow. Even if I encounter Titled Douluo- level expert, as long as they are of a lower rank, I am confident I can kill them."
"But if I encounter someone above level 93, with my survival skills, escaping unscathed would be a piece of cake."
"Moreover, apart from the Titled Douluo of the Spirit Hall, the Titled Douluo of other forces on the continent are all registered, and there are only a handful of them."
Gui Yuan paused, then added, "Besides, teacher, you know that if I stay in the Spirit Hall and are protected like this, I'll be like a flower in a greenhouse, never able to withstand the wind and rain. This will definitely not be good for my future growth."
"Besides, I still have the Evil Divine Trial to face. The path of the Divine Trial is full of thorns, and I can't keep hiding under protection forever, can I?"
"You specifically told me before that I'm still young and might not be mature enough, so you suggested I postpone the First Trial until I'm more mature."
Gui Yuan's gaze grew increasingly serious. "And the best way to improve in this area is to venture out into the world, isn't it? Only by experiencing the complexities of human nature and the trials of life can one's character truly settle down."
"Alright, alright, stop shaking me. My arms are getting sore from all that shaking." Bibi Dong was exasperated by his reasonable yet somewhat stubborn words and sighed helplessly, "Fine, I agree to let you go out. I just can't persuade you otherwise."
Clearly, Gui Yuan's persistence and meticulous consideration ultimately convinced her.
In fact, Bibi Dong's original plan was to wait until the Soul Master Tournament ended two years later, when Gui Yuan would be about fourteen years old.
With his talent and cultivation speed, he might already have the cultivation of a high-level Soul Saint by then, and with good luck, he might even be able to touch the threshold of Soul Douluo?
If we let him go out and gain experience then, he will be more mature in both ability and mindset, and people will feel more at ease with him.
However, she also knew that the Evil Divine Trial that Gui Yuan was carrying was extraordinary. Delaying it for too long might affect the progress of the subsequent tests, or even bring back the backlash from the Divine Trial.
There are still two years until the Soul Master Tournament, and the competition will take several months from the preliminary rounds to the finals. We really can't keep him waiting.
Anyway, there are only so many Titled Douluo from other forces on the Douluo Continent. Apart from the Clear Sky Sect, which has a title, there is the Sword Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, Dugu Bo of the Heaven Dou Empire, Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Besides that, there's nothing else... No, wait, there's also Tang Hao, whose whereabouts are unknown, but it's unlikely we'd run into him so easily.
Having figured this out, Bibi Dong began to make arrangements for him. "When do you plan to leave? I'll have Yue Guan and Gui Mei go with you then. With the two of them by your side, I'll feel more at ease."
Unexpectedly, Gui Yuan shook his head and rejected the suggestion. "Teacher, this wouldn't achieve the desired training effect."
"With my eldest and second eldest fathers by my side, why would I need to deal with trouble on my own? When I leave, I'll use my Soul Skill to slightly alter my appearance and aura, disguising myself as an ordinary Soul Master."
"No one else will recognize me, and currently only a few high-ranking members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect know of my existence. As long as I keep a low profile, there won't be any problems."
Gui Yuan continued, "Let your eldest and second uncles stay and help you handle the affairs of the Spirit Hall. If they leave, you won't have enough manpower around you."
Gui Yuan genuinely wanted to travel across this vast continent, having volunteered to go out and gain experience.
After all, from birth until now, apart from going out to hunt Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring, he has almost always stayed in Spirit City. The daily cultivation and life in the palace have long made him feel tired and bored.
Previously, because his cultivation level was still low, he could only devote most of his time to cultivation, enduring the tedium of meditation and the long process of accumulating Soul Power, while also feeling happy with each breakthrough and improvement in strength.
But things are different now. Since reaching the Soul Emperor realm, relying solely on ordinary meditation and cultivation has made the rate of increase in Soul Power extremely slow.
He knew very well that no true powerhouse on the continent could break through to a higher level and eventually become Titled Douluo or even a higher realm simply through meditation!
The tempering of real-world experience, the transformation of mindset, and the blessing of serendipitous encounters are all indispensable factors for breaking through bottlenecks.
Besides that, Gui Yuan had one more crucial reason in his heart!
He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a special trip to Nuoding City, or more precisely, to the area around Nuoding City.
He must rely on his hazy memories to find the place where the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone was buried.
That's a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. We can't just let Tang San have it so easily, even though this treasure rightfully belongs to him, Ah Yin's son.
However, Tang San's soul wasn't the real 'original' Tang San, so it was fine if he took it.
Of course, even if it's the original, he'll still take it.
This kind of treasure isn't bound to Tang San just because of some so-called blood relationship; it naturally belongs to the strongest!
