Chapter 226: The Birth of the Body Sect
After everyone moved to the Thunder Canyon, the construction of the Body Sect was in full swing.
In just a month or two, the sect had already taken shape.
Everyone learned from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family's surprise attack and made the protection of the sect their top priority, focusing heavily on its construction.
The protective rivers around the Thunder Canyon were closely watched by Yang Wudi and Niu Gao.
Yang Wudi planted a large number of poisonous herbs in the river and even brought several poisonous attribute soul beasts, which looked extremely fierce and ruthless. Even ordinary soul masters could not cross them.
A small wooden bridge was built over the river, with various traps set up on it. Only sect members, led by others, could pass. If anyone tried to force their way through, the entire bridge would turn to ashes.
Beyond the river, there was no land, only a massive city wall and countless defensive crossbows, with air defenses being extremely tight.
Overall, the entire Thunder Canyon was like a giant fortress, making it extremely difficult to breach from the outside.
The Yu family displayed its incredible manufacturing abilities. Hundreds of soul masters with the Wuhun of the Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros were not only very powerful individually, but their construction techniques were varied and numerous. Even Yang Xiong was slightly dazzled by their methods, which seemed more exaggerated than the legendary infrastructure maniacs of his previous life.
To build the protective walls, the entire wall was made of giant stones and countless metals, capable of withstanding the physical manifestations of some soul masters' martial souls. It could be called an iron wall.
Yang Xiong couldn't help but think of the massive mountain gate at the Haotian Sect's ancestral grounds. The construction method seemed quite similar, making it extremely difficult for outsiders to break in.
Niu Gao even personally organized people to carry a huge stone, several dozen meters tall, which was then engraved with the three characters "Body Sect" by Yang Xiong himself.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Xiong explored the Thunder Canyon alone.
The Thunder Canyon was filled with lightning, and the deeper one went, the more concentrated and powerful the lightning became.
The plants in the Thunder Canyon were very few, only a small number of thunder-attribute plant soul beasts, as well as many thunder-attribute animal soul beasts.
These soul beasts lived in the Thunder Canyon for years, seemingly constantly exposed to the lightning, making them not only extremely resilient but also very powerful in combat.
Unfortunately, even with Yang Xiong's formidable physique, he could not venture deeper.
Yang Xiong had been training his body since childhood. Although he was only a Soul Saint now, his physical strength had surpassed many Title Douluo.
However, even so, under the constant barrage of lightning, his body became charred, and he was left numb all over.
What he saw before him shocked Yang Xiong greatly.
This was already the deepest part of the Thunder Canyon. Although the canyon was several dozen meters wide, here, there was a vine over ten meters long, blocking the entire canyon. Even top experts could not approach it.
Yang Xiong was surprised: "How is this possible? It's the Thunderclap Hellvine."
The Thunderclap Hellvine was massive, seemingly composed of countless vines, each one charged with lightning. It had extremely powerful offensive and explosive abilities, and from its age, it was likely over one hundred thousand years old.
Especially in the Thunder Canyon, this Thunderclap Hellvine could utilize the lightning from the entire canyon, making it nearly impossible to defeat.
Yang Xiong thought that not only could he not break through, but even Yu Yuan Zhen, who was once known as the strongest soul beast, would have no chance of overcoming the control of this Thunderclap Hellvine, let alone reach the deepest part of the canyon.
Yang Xiong thought for a long time and ultimately decided not to force his way through. Instead, he sat down to meditate.
Under the harsh stimulation of the Thunder Canyon's lightning, his body felt like it was constantly being struck, not only burning but seemingly undergoing a kind of lightning forge.
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth and stubbornly sat in the Thunder Canyon, as his body seemed to suffer the extreme forces of destruction.
In the Thunder Canyon, the lightning appeared endless. Initially, when the lightning struck, he could still maintain clarity, resisting with his strong physique.
However, as the lightning increased, his body became more numb, and the pain grew unbearable, as if he was about to lose all sensation.
After a long period of time, Yang Xiong felt that his body was nearing its limits and decided to leave the Thunder Canyon.
The Thunder Canyon was indeed a good place, especially for a body martial soul. The lightning acted like a special body forging process, not only strengthening muscles but also stimulating the evolution of the martial soul.
This was perhaps one of the reasons the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family was so strong. After years of exposure to lightning, every member of their family had extremely powerful physical attributes.
However, the lightning element could be damaging to the body, which led to the fact that, despite their strength, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family struggled to break through to higher levels.
Otherwise, with Yu Yuan Zhen's talent and strength, it would be impossible for him to be stuck at level 95 forever. Furthermore, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family had not produced a new Title Douluo in years.
However, Yang Xiong felt that the Thunder Canyon was truly a chosen place for body martial souls.
Since the body martial soul was the physical body itself, under the stimulation of lightning, it would not suffer any damage. In fact, it would make the body stronger, and during this process, the martial soul could grow rapidly, potentially even undergoing a second awakening.
...
When Yang Xiong returned to the main peak of the Body Sect, everyone around him seemed very busy.
Oscar and Qin Shuang had been helping Niu Gao lately. Oscar was assisting with construction and transportation, which also served as a form of physical training.
At the same time, Oscar provided sausages for the workers, especially his first soul skill: Super Recovery Sausage. Since reaching Soul Emperor, the soul power consumption for making sausages had decreased significantly, which greatly accelerated the work progress.
Qin Shuang appeared exceptionally brave. Her martial soul was the Great Strength King Kong Bear, and she had great insight into transportation. She was highly praised by the Yu family.
Had Qin Shuang not already become a disciple of Zhao Wuji, Niu Gao might have tried to recruit her. Qin Shuang not only had outstanding talent, but also a deep understanding of the power path, being extremely focused. Her attacks and defenses were formidable.
Her older brother Yang Wei had been following Yang Wudi recently. Yang Wudi's Soul Breaking Spear had powerful offensive capabilities, and Yang Wei's Xuan Iron Sword also focused on attack. Following Yang Wudi allowed him to learn many combat techniques.
As for Ning Rongrong, she had mostly been with Lin Gong, overseeing the overall matters of the Body Sect.
Ning Rongrong had already been studying sect management under Ning Fengzhi. Now, she was proficient in the planning and construction of the Body Sect.
The entire Body Sect was working hard in the Thunder Canyon. With thousands of sect members, along with hired personnel, more than ten thousand people were busy working, and news of this spread quickly throughout the soul master world.
The soul master world was shocked, never expecting someone to make such a bold move to occupy the Thunder Canyon, once the base of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. This was considered a prized piece of land, but no one dared to challenge it due to the reputation the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family had once held.
Some people seemed to want to provoke them, and several soul master forces were looking to take a share of the Thunder Canyon. After all, the Thunder Canyon was the most concentrated area of thunder-attribute soul beasts, a very rare resource.
However, anyone who came to provoke them was immediately driven off by Yang Wudi. Even Yang Wei showed off his strength a little.
The entire soul master world began to realize that a brand-new sect was emerging, and it was a very powerful force. Experts were emerging one after another, and their wealth seemed limitless. The sect appeared extremely imposing, with the potential to rival the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, one of the top three sects.
Of course, Yang Xiong also made some arrangements. He invited several soul masters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile martial soul to station in the Thunder Canyon, even specifically opening one of the Nine Peaks of Thunder to house them.
They were only temporarily residing in the Thunder Canyon and would not interfere with the internal affairs of the Body Sect.
Among them were several Soul Saints of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as well as some Soul Emperors and Soul Kings. This was one of Yang Xiong's collaborations with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
With these high-level experts from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Body Sect would have excellent support in case of an enemy attack. These experts were the best in assisting, and at a crucial moment, they could change the course of a battle. This also showed that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect supported the Body Sect.
Of course, there was another major event in the soul master world recently.
Since the Haotian Sect had reappeared, they announced to the soul master world that they intended to recall their former members and rebuild the Haotian Sect.
Unfortunately, although the entire soul master world was excited, very few responded.
After the Haotian Sect's war with the Spirit Hall, many soul master families directly joined Spirit Hall, while others became independent and formed scattered cultivation families.
None of the famous single-attribute families from back then responded to the Haotian Sect's call.
Both Yang Wudi and Niu Gao, as well as Bai He, looked down on the Haotian Sect's actions, not taking them seriously at all.
Even the Tai Tans had a strong aversion to the Haotian Sect. Although the power of the Li family was decimated by Qian Renxue, the Tai Tans had no intention of returning to the Haotian Sect. They followed Tang San and Tang Hao, focusing on Tang San's Tang Sect.
Although the Tang Sect had suffered a devastating blow, Emperor Xue Ye was still very interested in Tang San's hidden weapons. The Tai Tans had gathered many blacksmiths and were planning to rebuild the Tang Sect and cooperate with the Heaven Dou Imperial Family in producing hidden weapons.
Many scattered cultivators who resisted the Spirit Hall were willing to join the Haotian Sect. However, they only viewed the Haotian Sect as a shelter from the Spirit Hall's cruelty, hoping to find a new power to rely on.
The structure of the entire soul master world seemed to be slowly changing. At least, many people now saw the Body Sect as a powerful force, one that could rival the top three sects.
