" Da Ming! Er Ming!"
A familiar yet authoritative voice appeared in their minds, causing them to straighten up and put down their wine jars.
This is the Cloud Recesses, the former number one sect on the continent, the reclusive Clear Sky Sect!
The Clear Sky Sect has a history of ten thousand years, and thanks to the Clear Sky Hammer, a top-tier Tool Martial Soul, the clan has produced many geniuses.
However, there are differences between geniuses. Although the Clear Sky Sect has produced Titled Douluo throughout the ages, the path to becoming Super Douluo is not one that ordinary geniuses can easily traverse.
As for the Limit Douluo, that depends entirely on fate.
For nearly a thousand years, the Clear Sky Sect has not produced Limit Douluo, and even Super Douluo are not produced in every generation.
It is clear that it no longer holds the title of the number one sect on the continent.
However, at this crucial moment, Sea God Tang San who was born into the Clear Sky Sect ten thousand years ago, sent down a divine decree, bringing the Clear Sky Sect its "foundation."
For the next thousand years, the Clear Sky Sect once again had Limit Douluo in charge.
Although the sect leader of the Haotian Tai Tan was initially reluctant to be called " Niu Tian" by those surnamed "Tang," the other party was too strong, and with their ancestor Tang San as their "guarantor," the people of the Clear Sky Sect gradually got used to it.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape were considered the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest Star Dou Great Forest when they were collectively dormant in the Core Circle ten thousand years ago.
But in the end, because of a rabbit, it became someone else's Soul Ring, so now it can be considered a blessing in disguise.
After all, Soul Beast cannot become gods, and they face terrifying heavenly tribulations every 100,000 years.
The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, now separated from Tang San's Soul Ring, can be considered to have gained eternal Life.
The saying "When one attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven" is quite apt.
Of course, some Grandmaster might protest, saying, "Everyone else got on the bus, but I wasn't included!"
Based on kinship, as Xiao Wu's younger brothers, Da Ming and Er Ming should at least call Tang San" brother-in-law".
However, given Tang San's current status as God King, if he were to associate with Soul Beast on equal footing, he would likely be ridiculed by the gods in the Divine Realm.
Although Xiao Wu is also Soul Beast, she has transformed into a human after all, and now, as the Asura Sword Sheath, she is naturally different from others.
Therefore, Tang San's "exile" of Da Ming Er Ming to the Douluo Continent can be considered killing two birds with one stone.
This not only resolved their awkward situation in the Divine Realm, but also gave him a backup plan in the Douluo Continent.
Er Ming only grew muscles but not brains, but Da Ming was meticulous and quick-witted, and figured this out.
Under Da Ming's instructions, he and Er Ming did not dare to presume upon their status as brothers-in-law, and they always showed Tang San the utmost respect.
Just like now, upon hearing Tang San's voice, the two of them immediately composed themselves, adopting an attitude of respectfully listening to the divine decree of a superior.
Tang San was quite pleased with their demeanor, and his tone instantly became much more friendly.
"Thank you for your hard work at the Clear Sky Sect these past years."
Tang San was just being polite. He had limited influence over the lower realm and didn't dare waste time, so he immediately got down to business.
" Xiao Qi is currently participating in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Soul Fighting Tournament in Star Luo City. There's something fishy about one of the participants named Kong Xuan. Go and investigate him."
Before Niu Tian and Tai Tan could reply, the Divine Power that Tang San Divine Descent vanished.
Tang San, standing beside the Divine Realm Core, frowned, thinking to himself that his control over the lower realm was indeed getting weaker and weaker!
However, the goal has been achieved, and he believes that with the strength of Da Ming and Er Ming, accomplishing this should not be difficult.
At the top of Clear Sky Castle, the pressure belonging to the God King vanished instantly, and Niu Tian and Tai Tan's expressions returned to normal.
What problems could a contestant possibly have?
Tai Tan scratched his head, clearly not understanding why Tang San would issue such an order.
Niu Tian's expression remained serious as he said, "That person hasn't conveyed much information over the past thousand years, so there must be a reason for saying that."
He thought for a moment, then said, "I'll go to Star Luo City now."
"Big brother!"
Tai Tan stood up and said, "It's just checking on one student; I'll go."
"I think you've had enough of Clear Sky Castle and want to get out and get some fresh air, right?"
Niu Tian saw through Tai Tan's thoughts at a glance. Tai Tan gave an awkward smile, "I can't hide it from you, brother. But isn't this on the way? Why don't you come with me, brother?"
Niu Tian shook his head. "One of us should stay in the sect. Do you really want to go?"
Tai Tan nodded. "Staying up here on this mountain all day, my body's practically stiffening."
The two had grown up together since childhood, and Niu Tian knew Tai Tan's personality all too well. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This mission can be entrusted to you, but you have to promise me you won't do anything reckless, understand?"
Seeing a glimmer of hope, Tai Tan promised, "Don't worry, brother, I guarantee I'll complete the mission and I absolutely won't do anything reckless."
Seeing his serious expression, Niu Tian said, "Then set off now for the Star Luo Empire!"
Kong Xuan was participating in a competition in Star Luo City at the moment, had no idea that he had already been targeted by Tang San.
The round-robin tournament has ended, and both Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy and Shrek Academy advanced to the next stage of the competition with a perfect record, finishing first in their respective groups.
In the conference room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy, the bright Soul Guidance Lamp illuminated the entire room as if it were daytime.
All the members were present. It was unclear why Ma Sheng had called them over—perhaps to discuss tomorrow's tactics?
A moment later, Ma Sheng walked in from outside.
He tapped the table and said without further ado, "There's a top-tier auction at the Starlight Auction House tonight; it only happens once or twice a year."
Ma Sheng's gaze swept over everyone present. "It's said there are also top-grade Soul Bone and other rare items. This is a rare opportunity. Anyone want to participate?"
A hushed discussion immediately broke out in the conference room, and then many people raised their hands to indicate that they wanted to participate.
The competition was rather tedious, and even though they didn't want to buy anything, the students still wanted to join in the fun and relax.
Meng Hongchen blinked her bright eyes and gently poked Kong Xuan's arm beside her with her finger.
Are you still not going this time?
Her voice carried a hint of anticipation; Kong Xuan had declined her invitation to the Level 5 auction not long ago.
Kong Xuan tilted his head slightly, and the light fell on his angular profile, outlining a soft contour.
He took Meng Hongchen's mischievous little hand in his, a faint smile playing on his lips, "I'll go with you this time."
Meng Hongchen was stunned for a moment, then her eyes curved into crescent moons. "Really?"
"Hmm!" Kong Xuan nodded and smiled, "Maybe there's something that interests me?"
He remembered that in the original story, this very auction not only featured the Ice Explosion Soul Bone, but also the Snow Empress sealed within the God Sealing Altar.
When Huo Yuhao acquired his Second Martial Soul, he went to the Far North, but he couldn't find any trace of the Snow Empress.
It remains to be seen whether she will follow her original destiny, being sealed into the God Sealing Altar by a human Soul Master the moment she takes human form, ultimately becoming an item up for auction.
Seeing that everyone had raised their hands, Ma Sheng said, "Okay, it's settled then!"
"Meet in the conference room at 7 PM tonight!"
