Yang Wudi looked at his grandson. " Podi, why did you choose Mount Aermo?"
Yang Podi took out a map and pointed out the location of Mount Aermo: " Mount Aermo is the northernmost mountain in the Heaven Dou Empire. It covers a very large area, and most importantly, it is extremely dangerous."
In fact, Mount Aermo was a place that Yang Podi had been thinking about for a long time before finding it. Mount Aermo itself is close to the Far North, and the entire mountain is very high and very dangerous.
Mount Aermo acts as a natural barrier, separating the Heaven Dou Empire from the Far North Forest. The north side of the mountain is mostly covered in snow all year round and rarely visited by people, while the south side has a relatively pleasant environment, somewhat like spring all year round. In particular, the foot of Mount Aermo has very rich vegetation, which is suitable for the cultivation of herbs and medicines.
Because Mount Aermo is too far from the Heaven Dou City of the Heaven Dou Empire, no force can really reach it. This has resulted in the existence of many small sects on Mount Aermo, which actually have a large number of members.
The mountaintop is covered in snow all year round. If a sect were to be built on Mount Aermo, outsiders would probably never be able to find it. It's somewhat similar to the ancestral home of the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect, or even more secluded and treacherous. Once you disappear into the snow-covered mountains, your enemies will have no chance to find you. Moreover, the relatively harsh environment is more suitable for honing the physique of Soul Master. Furthermore, due to the vast area of Mount Aermo, there is no shortage of Soul Beast.
The only problem might be the difficulty of transportation, but for the Soul Master World, the existence of Storage Soul Tool makes it not a problem at all.
Originally, according to Yang Podi's plan, the Speed Clan was not excluded. The Speed Clan was responsible for patrolling the mountain and transportation, which would ensure that everything would go smoothly.
Now that the Speed Clan is no longer available, we can always find other solutions.
Grandpa Yang Wudi still seemed a little worried. " Mount Aermo is nice, but it's too far from the city. I'm afraid it's not suitable for our family's development; it's too remote."
"Grandpa, that's no problem at all. We can just have a small number of people at our current base. After each batch of medicine is refined, we'll send it to Heaven Dou City and sell it there. It'll only take a little time, but it'll be safer that way too."
Uncle Niu Mang still seemed a little worried. "Although our two clans have two Titled Douluo, being far from Heaven Dou City means we'll lack the protection of the Heaven Dou Empire. Aren't we afraid of other forces launching a large-scale attack on us?"
Everyone present stared at Niu Mang, speechless. How could this man know so little about the two families? He actually thought that the two families only had two Titled Douluo.
Niu Gao looked at his son speechlessly. "Son, you're not putting in enough effort in your cultivation. There are so many of us now, and apart from you and Podi, everyone else is Titled Douluo. Besides, there's your Uncle Wushuang too."
Niu Mang seemed utterly astonished upon hearing this. " Jinfeng, Zhentian, when did you two break through to the Titled Douluo? And wasn't Uncle Wushuang already dead?"
Niu Jinfeng looked at her brother and said, "Big brother, I became Titled Douluo not long ago, and Uncle Wushuang is not dead. It's just that the family doesn't want to be too high-profile."
Niu Mang swallowed hard. " Jinfeng, does that mean our two clans now have five Titled Douluo? When did this happen? How come I didn't hear anything about it?"
Niu Gao looked at his son with a hint of disappointment. "What do you need to know so much for? Why aren't you working harder at cultivation? Of all the people here, you're the worst."
After some discussion, the group roughly determined the direction for the near future, and Grandpa Niu Gao even began to consider the design of Mount Aermo.
After leaving the secret room, Yang Podi took out a map by himself. This map was of the entire Heaven Dou Empire, including the Balak Kingdom and the Fasinuo Province.
Yang Podi glanced at the Holy Soul Village, which was specially marked on the map, carefully calculated the details, then changed into a black outfit and secretly left the Breaking Clan.
Since Tang Hao dared to appear in Heaven Dou City and meet Tai Tan and Bai He, he probably won't leave anytime soon, at least not so quickly. After all, both Tang San and Xiao Wu need his secret protection.
Just after leaving the Breaking Clan and arriving at a forest, Yang Podi spoke to the air, "Third Elder, could you please come out and meet me?"
After Yang Podi shouted three times, a dark figure appeared in the woods. It was none other than the Third Elder Yang Wuju, who had been secretly protecting him.
Yang Podi bowed to the Third Elder: "Third Elder, thank you for your covert protection during this time. I have some business to attend to and need to go on a long trip. Please do not accompany me for the time being."
The Third Elder seemed unmoved. "I am acting on the clan leader's orders to protect you in secret. Nothing is more important than your safety."
Yang Podi shook his head. "Third Elder, I'll take my leave now. I hope you can keep up with me."
After Yang Podi finished speaking, a pair of huge wings sprouted from his back. After several enhancements of his Soul Power, each wing was now four meters long. Yang Podi flapped his wings and quickly left the forest, flying directly westward.
The Tiger Eagle Wings, aged 50,000 years, are extremely fast. In terms of speed alone, they are probably no weaker than Soul Douluo, and only a flying-type Soul Douluo could achieve that.
It is estimated that Holy Soul Village is about 4,000 kilometers away from Heaven Dou City, while Tiger Eagle Wings can travel nearly 1,000 kilometers per hour.
Throughout his flight Yang Podi largely avoided the city, and flew at an extremely high altitude, making him virtually undetectable from the ground.
After about four hours, Yang Podi arrived near Nuoding City. Following the markings on the map, he found several waterfalls within a hundred miles and finally located his destination.
Finally, when Yang Podi arrived at a waterfall, this waterfall seemed a little different from the others; the surrounding Blue Silver Grass seemed particularly lush.
Yang Podi dressed himself up completely, wearing all black clothes, black pants, and a black robe, even covering his face. Then he placed two scorching Scarlet Fire Stone at his waist. After everything was done, Yang Podi flapped his wings and flew directly behind the waterfall.
After carefully observing behind the waterfall, I discovered a spot with an exceptionally strong life force, where the Blue Silver Grass grew even more luxuriantly than in other areas.
Yang Podi carefully explored the stone wall for a while and finally found a hidden door. After all, his mother was a direct descendant of the Defense Clan, and her construction skills were very powerful. Yang Podi himself had been exposed to construction techniques since childhood, so a mere hidden door was no challenge for him.
After entering the hidden door, there seemed to be a special kind of Blue Silver Grass on the ground. This Blue Silver Grass had a much stronger life force than the other Blue Silver Grass. In particular, the edges of the Blue Silver Grass's leaves had a fine golden edge, making it look very extraordinary.
Yang Podi did not retract his wings, but carefully searched the cave behind the hidden door. Finally, he found a small hidden hole in the stone wall. After opening the hidden hole, he found a two-foot-long black lead box inside.
Yang Podi held the lead box in both hands. The lead box was very heavy, weighing a full two hundred pounds. After opening the lead box, it emitted a bright blue light, which seemed to illuminate the entire cave. In particular, the lead box was filled with a powerful life force, as if one were in a sea of life.
Yang Podi seemed to tremble as he held the contents of the lead box. It was a piece of deep blue bone, brimming with life, and seemed even purer and more beautiful than any sapphire he had ever seen.
Yang Podi seemed to utter a muttered, hoarse voice, more like that of a middle-aged man than a young man. "I never thought that after more than ten years of being ordered to track Tang Hao, I would finally have something to show for it today. If I take this Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone back and present it to His Holiness the Pope, it will surely be a great achievement. Even becoming Platinum Bishop wouldn't be a problem."
After his initial excitement subsided, Yang Podi, clutching the priceless Soul Bone in his arms, flapped his wings and swiftly left the cave.
Throughout the entire process, they seemed completely unaware of anything unusual about the Blue Silver Grass inside the cave, as if they were completely oblivious.
After Yang Podi left the cave, he quickly flapped his wings and flew away.
Upon reaching a forest 200 kilometers away, he quickly stored the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone in his personal Soul Tool, changed his entire outfit, and put away the two Scarlet Fire Stone he had taken out.
After a series of actions, the person seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, even the aura around them changed. Then, they flapped their wings and quickly left the place.
This location was also carefully chosen by Yang Podi. It was only about ten kilometers away from the nearby Spirit Hall Branch. With the prior preparations, it was sure to mislead Tang Hao.
When Yang Podi returned to the Breaking Clan, it was already late at night. Unexpectedly, his grandfather, Yang Wudi, seemed to be waiting for him.
"Grandpa, it's so late, why aren't you resting?"
Yang Wudi looked at Yang Podi with a meaningful expression. " Podi, why did you deliberately ditch the Third Elder today? What are you planning to do?"
"Grandpa, whatever I do is for the good of the Breaking Clan, for the development and future of the Breaking Clan."
Yang Wudi sighed, "From now on, whatever you do, you must prioritize your own safety. You are my only grandson, and I don't want you to encounter any danger. We old folks will take care of the family's affairs."
Looking at his grandfather's rather weathered face, Yang Podi seemed to be moved. "Grandpa, don't worry, I won't take any more risks in the future."
After chatting for a while, Yang Wudi left the room. Yang Podi watched his grandfather's retreating figure, his fists clenched tightly. "Grandpa, don't worry, whether it's the Clear Sky Sect or the Spirit Hall, I will make everyone who has bullied us pay the price."
Meanwhile, at the Speed Clan's stronghold, Tang San took out several blueprints for Hidden Weapon. Tai Tan, known as one of the three great master craftsmen in the world, immediately recognized the power and value of these Hidden Weapon. Especially since they had already secured a large deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the future sales were sure to be excellent.
Bai He couldn't help but laugh. The Speed Clan had always been rather useless due to its low attack power, but now that they had Hidden Weapon, it could completely make up for the Speed Clan's shortcomings.
After some discussion, the group decided to establish the Tang Sect outside Heaven Dou City. The Strength Clan and the Speed Clan would be directly affiliated with the Tang Sect, Tai Tan and Bai He would serve as elders of the Tang Sect.
In their view, the Tang Sect has a very bright future. Coupled with Tang San's Innate Full Soul Power and the cultivation talent of Twin Martial Souls, the Tang Sect will surely regain or even surpass the prestige of the Clear Sky Sect in the future.
However, everyone was very surprised and even disgusted by the attitudes of the Defense Clan and Breaking Clan. They never expected that their brothers of several decades would reject them like this.
Tang Hao watched his son interact with Tai Tan and the Bai He, his face full of satisfaction.
However, they all seemed to have forgotten that Tang San was only a Soul Elder, a mere thirteen-year-old boy. This world has never lacked geniuses, but it lacks peerless masters who have grown up. And before a peerless master grows up, it is often because of the sacrifice of thousands.
Yang Podi himself was somewhat unaware that, regardless of the world, the Tang Sect was an assassination sect, which could be said to be despised or rejected by all the major powers in the world.
But it seems a bit illogical that such an assassination sect would have a core cultivation method that is actually a top-tier Daoist technique.
What's even more outrageous is that the Tang Sect, which is famous for its Hidden Weapon or other weapons, became the largest sect in the world ten thousand years later in the original Douluo Continent novel. It seems a bit unbelievable, or rather, it's putting the cart before the horse.
This is a fantasy world where Martial Soul and Soul Power are fundamental. The so-called conventional Hidden Weapon of the Tang Sect can only reach the power of Soul King at most. Moreover, Hidden Weapon can only be effective through sneak attacks. Therefore, Yang Podi always felt that this world was a bit abnormal.
