The Troubled and Melancholy Sea God Pavilion
Xu Xingyu felt the immense Power of Life emanating from the Seed of Life. This Power of Life was comparable in purity to the Gold of Life Gold of Life Xu Xingyu had absorbed before, but in terms of quantity, it was far greater.
If Xu Xingyu hadn't possessed the Dragon God Bloodline, granting him exceptional physical abilities, he likely wouldn't have been able to withstand this immense Power of Life and would have ended up exploding and dying.
As the reincarnation of the Dragon God's son, Xu Xingyu was born with the talent to control the two primordial forces at the core of the universe: the power of creation and the Power of Ruin. The Power of Life itself is similar to the Power of Creation.
Therefore, at the moment of absorbing the Power of Life, he also gained a new understanding of the Power of Creation, which led him to directly enter a state of Deep Meditation and ignore the Star Soul Pearl shining between his eyebrows.
Mu En, who had been protecting Xu Xingyu outside, also noticed Xu Xingyu's actions. He really didn't expect her to enter Deep Meditation state so quickly; it seemed he would have to wait a while.
However, Mu En did not come away empty-handed. While protecting Xu Xingyu, Mu En discovered that every now and then, for some unknown reason, a pure Power of Life would be expelled from Xu Xingyu's body.
Having absorbed that Power of Life, Mu En could clearly feel that his previous injuries had lessened. If he could bathe in this pure Power of Life for a long time, Mu En might be able to heal all his hidden injuries and return to his prime.
This made Mu En even consider dismantling the boy in front of him to try and figure out how he did it, but he quickly dismissed the idea because of his pride.
After all, it just doesn't make sense for a Limit Douluo to steal a young boy's opportunity, does it?
While Xu Xingyu was still receiving the power of the Seed of Life from the Golden Ancient Tree, things were also getting lively on the other side.
At this moment, every elder in the Sea God Pavilion had a gloomy expression, but what could they do in the face of such a situation?!?!?
Just now, they obtained an important piece of information from Feng Ling: those Evil Soul Master have actually established a sect!
Of course, this information wasn't given to them voluntarily by Feng Ling; rather, it was obtained by them through direct and forceful scanning of the other party's Sea of Consciousness.
They had considered using interrogation to obtain information, but Feng Ling was too stubborn and would threaten suicide at the drop of a hat.
Therefore, they had no choice but to use such methods to obtain information. Although it was somewhat inhumane, considering that the other party was Evil Soul Master, this outcome was considered well-deserved.
The only problem was that when they scanned Feng Ling's memories, it seemed to trigger some kind of restriction, causing Feng Ling to explode on the spot.
This resulted in them obtaining very fragmented information. They only knew that those Evil Soul Master had established some kind of Holy Spirit Cult, which included quite a few Evil Soul Master at the Titled Douluo level, but they had no idea how many or who they were.
Titled Douluo- level Evil Soul Master?! Just thinking about it sends chills down your spine. You have to know that because of the Shrek Inspection Corps, it's very rare to see Evil Soul Master above the Soul Saint level outside.
This is because the cultivation of Evil Soul Master requires causing countless killings, which easily attracts the attention of local forces, and once discovered, those Evil Soul Master will be immediately purged.
That is why, in theory, there shouldn't be Evil Soul Master at the Titled Douluo level in this world. If there are, it proves that some force is protecting these Evil Soul Master.
But what power in the world would dare to protect those inhuman scoundrels like Evil Soul Master? If they were discovered, they would be making enemies of the entire continent!
Therefore, there are only two forces in this world that have the power to oppose the entire continent: one is the Spirit Contract Pagoda, which has the entire Soul Beast Clan as its backing, and the other is the Sun Moon Empire, which has always dreamed of unifying the entire Douluo Continent.
The elders also had a long discussion about which force was responsible for the actions.
To be fair, they believe the Sun Moon Empire is more likely, because most people in the Sun Moon Empire overemphasize Soul Tool, which leads them to frequently use drugs to cultivate, resulting in the Sun Moon Empire consistently lacking high-end Soul Master.
Although the Sun Moon Empire's superior Soul Tool enabled it to surpass the combined military strength of the other three empires, the strongest Soul Tool still required powerful Soul Master to operate them.
This left the Sun Moon Empire, lacking high-level Soul Master, with nothing to do but hold onto those advanced Soul Tool.
Therefore, in order to make up for this, their only option is to seek a deal with this so-called Holy Spirit Cult, since other high-level forces have long been monopolized by the other three great empires and Shrek Academy.
The reason why some elders still doubt the Spirit Contract Pagoda is because the Spirit Contract Pagoda itself is guarded by Soul Beast. For the Soul Beast Clan race, the more humans die, the better, so that no one will covet their Soul Ring.
Considering that the Soul Spirit Method is also a special method of utilizing the soul, it's safe to say there's something fishy going on.
Because only Evil Soul Master in this world study things like souls, and the Soul Spirit Method can be considered a method of refining beast souls from a certain perspective.
The only difference is that this beast soul can provide Soul Ring to people.
After some discussion, the elders of the Sea God Pavilion all felt that it shouldn't be the Spirit Contract Pagoda. The main reason was that the Spirit Contract Pagoda was too powerful and had no need to cooperate with something like the Evil Soul Master. Therefore, the force that was protecting the Holy Spirit Cult was, unsurprisingly, the Sun Moon Empire.
After reaching this conclusion, Shrek sent an elder to the Spirit Contract Pagoda Master of the Gu Yuena within Shrek City to discuss information regarding this matter.
After all, the other party's disciple was the savior of many Inner Court students in their academy, and Shrek owed Xu Xingyu a favor, so it was normal for them to reveal some information to their allies.
To their surprise, Gu Yuena revealed that their Spirit Contract Pagoda had known about the existence of the Holy Spirit Cult for a long time, and also knew that the cult was cooperating with the Sun Moon Empire.
She hadn't told Shrek about this before because she assumed that Shrek, as the largest force exterminating Evil Soul Master, would already know of the other party's existence, so she didn't say anything. (This is a lie; it's simply the reason Gu Yuena didn't tell Shrek.)
At the same time, Gu Yuena thoughtfully told the elder about the Spirit Contract Pagoda's investigation into the Holy Spirit Cult.
When that information was transmitted to the Sea God Pavilion, all the elders present were at a loss for words.
The Holy Spirit Cult actually has dozens of Evil Soul Master at the Titled Douluo level, including seven or eight Super Douluo, and most terrifyingly, they even have a Limit Douluo!
The elders present initially disbelieved this information, reasoning that the Sun Moon Empire would have to sacrifice countless people to gather so many Evil Soul Master in order to prevent the enemy from causing trouble.
Not to mention someone like Limit Douluo, who already has one foot in the God Realm!
However, all doubts vanished upon hearing the name of that Limit Douluo, because that Limit Douluo's name was Ye Xishui.
