A little over half a month later.
In a remote, rarely visited canyon stood a complex of buildings filled with a dark, ominous atmosphere.
At this moment, deep within the canyon, a bear, an ape, and a tiger radiated overwhelming might. Three formidable domains—filled with sharpness, gravity, and evil—bloomed forth as they ruthlessly slaughtered a group of panic-stricken blood-robed soul masters.
High above the canyon, two majestic holy dragons circled—one white, one silver. The white holy dragon radiated golden light around its body, while the silver holy dragon emitted a silvery-gray glow. The two dragons tightly sealed off any escape routes through the air.
Any blood-robed soul master with flight ability attempting to flee through the air was instantly crushed to death by a dragon claw.
After a long while, accompanied by a brilliant earth-yellow light column piercing the sky, a blood-colored figure surrounded by nine soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—was blasted apart mid-air. The battle within the canyon finally came to an end.
"Master Jake, the deputy leader of the Worship Moon Sect has been eliminated. Now that the sect leader 'Blood Moon' has been executed, the entire Worship Moon Sect no longer has any Titled Douluos, and its core members have all been wiped out. Can you now fulfill your wish?"
On a nearby mountain peak, watching the blood-colored figure being blasted into pulp by the Titan Giant Ape spirit Xiao Ming's innate soul skill: Titan Sky Shatter, Chu Chengzhou turned to a bespectacled, thin middle-aged man beside him—approximately forty years old—who appeared extremely emotional, and said.
Strangely, Chu Chengzhou wasn't speaking the common language of Douluo Continent.
"Your subordinate Ma Jake pays respects to the Lord!"
Hearing this, the thin, bespectacled middle-aged man Ma Jake immediately knelt down and kowtowed without hesitation.
"Haha, Master Jake, please rise. From now on, you and I will join hands to create a golden age of soul guidance technology!"
Seeing this, Chu Chengzhou smiled warmly and reached out to help Ma Jake up.
As early as half a month ago, after finishing matters at the Heaven Dou Clan and returning to Tian Dou City, Chu Chengzhou had headed westward, crossing the vast ocean to begin his search for the Sun-Moon Continent.
Efforts are rewarded for those who persevere. In just three days, riding his Space Holy Dragon spirit Xiao Yin, Chu Chengzhou had found the Sun-Moon Continent.
Actually, the Sun-Moon Continent was quite easy to find. After all, this was an entire continent—not a small island in the vast ocean. Its huge size made it impossible to miss as long as the general direction was correct.
For countless years, neither Douluo Continent nor Sun-Moon Continent had discovered each other—not because it was impossible, but because of limited vision combined with the dangers of the ocean. Fierce sea spirit beasts were everywhere, restricting exploration.
Take Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi for example—as demi-god level experts, both absolutely had the strength to cross the vast ocean to find the Sun-Moon Continent. Even if they encountered monstrous beasts with cultivation years as high as nine hundred thousand years, while they might not necessarily defeat them, retreating safely would definitely not be a problem.
Unfortunately, limited by their vision, neither had conceived the idea of exploring the ocean.
Those who did have the desire to explore the ocean lacked sufficient strength. Hindered by the numerous sea spirit beasts in the ocean, they were directly deterred.
Of course, Chu Chengzhou also understood that he was likely not the first person from the greater Douluo Continent area to know of the Sun-Moon Continent's existence.
Take Bo Saidong (Poseidon), who ascended to the Sea God position ten thousand years ago, for example. Even if he hadn't visited the Sun-Moon Continent before becoming a god, he certainly would have known of its existence after his ascension.
As expected, even though this was several thousand years earlier than when the two continents would collide in later generations, the Sun-Moon Continent had still developed its soul guidance technology tree.
Moreover, the current level of soul guidance technology on the Sun-Moon Continent wasn't too bad. According to the intelligence he had gathered, although even the most advanced soul guidance devices couldn't pose a lethal threat to Titled Douluos, the number of seventh-ring Soul Sages and eighth-ring Soul Douluos who had died to soul guidance devices was by no means small.
However, unlike the modern industrial technology from Chu Chengzhou's previous life, although the Sun-Moon Continent had soul guidance technology, it hadn't been popularized among ordinary people. Similar to soul masters on Douluo Continent, only a select few could master it.
After all, to use soul guidance devices, the primary prerequisite was to become a soul master. And to become a soul engineer, one still first needed to become a soul master.
This was like thousands of troops trying to cross a single-log bridge. Only a very small number of soul masters on the Sun-Moon Continent were actually soul engineers—most were still ordinary soul masters.
For someone else, arriving in a foreign land with no knowledge of the language would definitely be a top-priority problem.
But for Chu Chengzhou, this wasn't an issue at all. With Void Illusion Realm activated, communicating through spiritual power, he mastered the Sun-Moon common language in a short time. Though not perfectly standard, at least Sun-Moon Continent people could understand him.
Initially, Chu Chengzhou had only planned to come quietly, learn some entry-level soul guidance technology, and then leave. Later, he would rely on his cheat ability to become a master soul engineer.
However, reality clearly wasn't as simple as imagined.
After eliminating the language barrier, Chu Chengzhou immediately captured a soul engineer of decent skill level.
Using the consciousness-altering effect of Void Illusion Realm, Chu Chengzhou once again transformed into the great Almighty God.
The "devout disciple" taught generously, and "Almighty God" learned sincerely. Chu Chengzhou quickly mastered an entry-level soul guidance array.
But then problems arose. What appeared on the attribute panel's skills section was only that one soul guidance array he had personally learned.
Its initial grade wasn't too low—it reached the Yellow-Tier. Chu Chengzhou even spent one AFKing slot for one day to upgrade it to Purple-Tier.
Good news—the soul guidance array became more profound, and he fully mastered it.
Bad news—he still only knew this one soul guidance array.
There were eleven basic elemental attributes—metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, light, darkness, time, space—and countless mutated elemental attributes. This essentially meant he needed to AFK and upgrade at least eleven supreme arts to master the engraving of soul guidance arrays for all basic elemental attributes?
Moreover, this was just one type of soul guidance array for each elemental category. It was still far from creating the Four-Word Battle Armor from later generations!
Thus, Chu Chengzhou changed his original plan. He decided to find a soul engineer with excellent talent and potential, partner with them, and together deduce the lowest-grade One-Word Battle Armor from later generations, forged from thousand-refined metal.
After all, you know how to engrave soul guidance arrays, I know how to forge thousand-refined metal—the only thing missing is the design concept. For the lowest-grade One-Word Battle Armor, it shouldn't take too long to succeed, right?
By then, after learning a bit, the attribute panel would likely display a skill similar to "Battle Armor Manufacturing." Later, relying on his cheat ability, he could naturally forge god-forged level Four-Word Battle Armor.
Chu Chengzhou: Plan successful, perfect!
When looking for a partner, naturally one must find an industry leader.
After finding several high-level experts from the Sun-Moon Continent's soul master world and conducting some "friendly" inquiries, Chu Chengzhou sought out Ma Jake—the closest to his current location at that time, and also a first-rate soul engineer master with considerable fame in the Sun-Moon Continent's soul master world.
