Two days later, after the four of them had absorbed the Soul Bone and Immortal Herb, their strength had all increased significantly.
Yang Ping'an's Soul Power increased to level 57, his physical attributes improved significantly, and there seemed to be a trace of dragon aura in his bloodline. Even his originally dark Soul Breaking Spear began to turn a blood-red color, so it should perhaps be called the Dragon Soul Spear.
After absorbing the Immortal Herb and Soul Bone, Dugu Yan's Soul Power increased to level 55. However, Dugu Yan's Martial Soul had evolved into the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, and the toxicity on her body was even more powerful. She should no longer have any problems cultivating to the Titled Douluo. In fact, even the poison of her Martial Soul had been completely eliminated, turning into the toxicity of her own body.
Niu Meng's physical attributes seem to have improved the most among everyone. During the process of consuming the Immortal Herb, his entire body seemed to crackle, and his limbs became thicker and stronger. In particular, his skin turned almost bronze, and his Soul Power also increased by 5 levels, now reaching level 50.
Finally, there's Yang Tianyue. As a girl, her physical abilities are considerably weaker than others, but after absorbing this Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, her physical strength seems to have increased significantly. Her Soul Breaking Spear has become even sharper and more resilient. Her Soul Power has increased by six levels, and she's now at level forty-seven.
The effects were particularly noticeable after the four absorbed the Soul Bone. Yang Tianyue's Head Soul Bone was especially valuable, as her Divine Power was now quite good. Although she was only Soul Ancestor, her Divine Power had already reached the level of Soul Emperor.
Amidst their pleasant surprise, everyone else left the secret room, leaving only Yang Podi, Yang Wudi, Yang Wushuang, their father Yang Zhentian, their maternal grandfather Niu Gao, and Poison Douluo. The rest of them needed to consider matters related to family decisions.
Grandpa Yang Wudi seemed to have thought of something and spoke up directly, " Old Rhino, what do you think will happen to Tang Hao? He clearly has very serious injuries, and he also used the Ring Detonation. These things have probably exceeded the limits of his physical abilities, and he might even die."
Before his maternal grandfather Niu Gao could speak, Yang Podi spoke first, "Grandpa, you underestimate Tang Hao. Tang Hao is indeed injured, but don't forget, his Ninth Soul Ring is Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. In addition, his entire body is probably covered with high-age Soul Bone over 50,000 years old, and he even has two inherited Soul Bone from the Clear Sky Sect. This injury shouldn't be a problem."
"Besides, if Tang Hao is really seriously injured, he can simply escape back to the Clear Sky Sect. The current sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Xiao, is his elder brother. How could he not help him?"
"Moreover, back when Tang Hao had just entered the Titled Douluo, he was able to kill Qian Xunji Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and he even defeated three Titled Douluo single-handedly. His strength was truly astounding."
After a moment's thought, Yang Wudi nodded slightly. "That's true. This time, the Spirit Hall mobilized seven Titled Douluo to face Tang Hao, yet Tang Hao still managed to escape. It's quite strange."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi remained silent, lost in thought.
The Spirit Hall's performance was simply a disaster. Although Tang Hao escaped, he was clearly severely injured. If they had sent a flying Titled Douluo or Agility Attack System Titled Douluo to track him down and kill him without giving him a chance to recover, Tang Hao Tang Hao would have been doomed.
As a result, after the Spirit Hall's great battle, they didn't even bother to pursue or kill them; they simply let the tiger return to the mountain.
After a brief discussion, Yang Wudi addressed his grandson, " Podi, what should we do now? Should the whole family really move to Mount Aermo?"
Yang Podi nodded. "Of course we have to move, and as soon as possible, preferably within a year. All personnel should be moved to Mount Aermo, the Heaven Dou City headquarters, with at most one elder left to guard it."
Grandpa Niu Gao also seemed very puzzled. "Is it really that urgent? Isn't it a bit too fast? There's nothing there right now on Mount Aermo; everything might need to be built from scratch."
Yang Podi shook his head. "It's not a question of whether we're fast or slow now. The situation is very strange. Take the final of the Soul Master Tournament, for example. With the strength of the Spirit Hall, they could have easily captured Tang Hao, but from beginning to end, they didn't show much combat power. Even Pope Bibi Dong, have you ever seen her use Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring skill or Soul Bone Skill?"
"Right now, the entire Spirit Hall is clearly holding back. The day they stop holding back will mean a major upheaval is about to occur."
Poison Douluo seemed slightly doubtful. " Little Monster, aren't you exaggerating? The Spirit Hall is powerful, but I'm afraid it's not that strong yet."
Yang Podi glanced at Poison Douluo: " Grandpa Dugu, things aren't calculated that way. If the Spirit Hall sends a large number of Soul Master, plus seven Titled Douluo, with four going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and three to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, do you think those two families will still have a chance to survive?"
"Especially Bibi Dong, with her strength, is definitely stronger than Sword Douluo, but this time she didn't even manage to leave Tang Hao behind, which clearly means she's hiding something."
Grandpa Yang Wudi seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked, "What about the final battle between me and Old Rhino against Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo? With the Spirit Hall's strength, how could they agree to this battle?"
Yang Podi smiled slightly, " The Spirit Hall is eager for this decisive battle. Actually, their request is very simple: they just want our two families to show their attitude."
"Anyway, a decisive battle between Titled Douluo isn't that easy to kill people. After a decisive battle, at worst, the two Titled Douluo can recuperate for a while."
"Especially our Breaking Clan, we're so close to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, only a few hundred kilometers away. At the speed of my two grandfathers, they could probably get there in an hour or two. If they want to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School, they'll definitely find a way to stop us from interfering."
"They'd love to see us move to Mount Aermo. You see, right now we're only dealing with Yu Yuanzhen, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo. But if our two families get involved, plus the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's assistance, then it'll be much harder for them."
Grandpa thought for a moment and then continued, "Our Breaking Clan has indeed accumulated quite a bit over the years, but if we were to build a new clan territory, especially in the Mount Aermo, the cost would be enormous, and it might even deplete most of our savings from the last ten years."
Yang Podi simply smiled, then took out several books from his person—the six secret manuals he had obtained from Tang San.
Yang Wudi seemed slightly puzzled. "Didn't you say we should be cautious when cultivating these books? Why are you taking them out now?"
Yang Podi looked at the books and said, "Grandpa, these aren't just books, they're all money!"
Yang Wudi seemed to understand a little. "You mean to sell these books? But wouldn't that be too conspicuous?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "These books certainly can't be auctioned off in a grand manner. However, my plan is to print dozens of copies of five of the secret techniques, and then you, Dad, will personally take Shi Nian to every black market across the continent, selling one copy in each black market. Based on the value of these five secret techniques, each copy could easily fetch 500,000 or even 1 million gold coins. So how much would that add up to?"
After a moment's thought, the group was immediately shocked. "At this rate, these manuals will likely spread throughout the entire continent very quickly. And in that case, we could earn at least a hundred million Gold Soul Coin, since these five manuals are all quite excellent."
Grandpa Niu Gao hesitated, though. "Do we really have to pass on all these secret manuals? If we do, I'm afraid we won't have any advantage in the future. Even if we keep the Mysterious Heaven Skill you mentioned, the gap will only get smaller in the future."
"Grandpa, how could the gap be getting smaller? On the contrary, with our unique Mysterious Heaven Skill, the gap will only widen, since only we can cultivate this secret technique to a higher level."
"However, this matter is of utmost importance at the moment. Currently, only core disciples who are absolutely trusted can cultivate it. After three to five years, we can secretly sell the first few levels of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, while keeping the later levels separately. In any case, we will be able to maintain our advantage."
Yang Zhentian, the father, was still a little puzzled. "Why do I have to go with Shi Nian? I can go alone, and it's more convenient for me to do things on my own."
Yang Podi smiled wickedly, "Dad, Shi Nian is the key to this trip. Use Shi Nian's Martial Soul to find a way to Simulation a traitor of the Clear Sky Sect and sell all these manuals. That way, even if someone tracks us down later, they won't be able to trace it back to us."
Yang Zhentian was still somewhat puzzled. "A traitor to the Clear Sky Sect? Is that even feasible?"
"That's certainly feasible. We'll have to hide our whereabouts throughout the process, and even cover our entire bodies. We can only reveal our Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul when a conflict arises during a few transactions, leaving behind some ambiguous clues for them to investigate on their own."
"By then, these manuals will likely end up in the hands of the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. With their combined strength, they'll naturally be able to trace the clues we left behind back to the Clear Sky Sect. We can leave the rest to them; we shouldn't interfere anymore."
"Moreover, during this process, both our families were making grand preparations for the trip to Mount Aermo, so who would suspect us?"
Grandpa Niu Gao was still a little puzzled. "What good will this do? It seems like it's still harming others without benefiting oneself."
Yang Podi couldn't help but rub his forehead. What kind of intelligence did his group have? He had explained things so clearly, yet they still didn't understand.
Finally Yang Podi reluctantly asked, "Grandpa, if you were the Spirit Hall or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, what would you think upon receiving this information?"
"These secret manuals can enhance the close combat strength of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master. The Clear Sky Sect actually possesses such a secret technique. This will exacerbate the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, allowing us to take this opportunity to distance ourselves and develop independently."
"Anyway, the more chaotic the world is right now, the better. The more chaotic it is, the more time we have to cultivate and improve ourselves. When Ping An and the others have all reached the Titled Douluo, we'll have more than ten Titled Douluo. We won't need to be at the mercy of others anymore. Whether it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, we can easily crush them."
After thinking for a moment, everyone's eyes finally turned to Poison Douluo, making Dugu Bo a little embarrassed.
Grandpa Yang Wudi asked directly, " Old Poison, are you coming with us to Mount Aermo?"
Dugu Bo seemed somewhat embarrassed. "I also want to go, but I owe Prince Xue Xing a favor, and it wouldn't be good to leave abruptly. You know my personality; I can't leave until I repay this favor."
At this moment, Yang Podi suddenly spoke up, " Grandpa Dugu, it's just a favor, isn't it? You'll probably be able to repay it soon."
Dugu Bo seemed slightly puzzled. " Prince Xue Xing values this favor very highly; I'm afraid he won't use it lightly."
Yang Podi spoke Youyou, "Of course I wouldn't do it for others, not even for myself, but for his good nephew, Prince Xue Beng, I'm afraid I'll have to use your favor."
