Douluo Calendar…, the Angel God descended, cleansed the continent of all Fallen Spirit Masters, established the Spirit Hall, and then ascended.
Douluo Calendar…, the Heaven Dou Empire was established… Douluo Calendar…, the Star Luo Empire was established… Douluo Calendar…, the Spirit Hall annihilated all remaining Fallen Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent… Douluo Calendar…, various sects in the Spirit Master's world competed for the title of the first sect, with seven major sects emerging: the Upper Three Sects and the Lower Four Sects.
The Upper Three Sects: Clear Sky Sect, whose inherited Spirit is the world's number one tool Spirit, the Clear Sky Hammer; Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, whose inherited Spirit is the world's number one support-type Spirit; and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, whose inherited Spirit is the world's number one beast Spirit, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon… The Lower Four Sects: Fire Leopard Sect…, Elephant Armored Academy…, Wind Sword Sect…, Sacred Dragon Sect… In Douluo Calendar 2602, the contemporary Pope Bibi Dong was named a Saintess… In Douluo Calendar 2631, the previous Pope unexpectedly passed away, and Saintess Bibi Dong inherited the position of Pope, also suspected of having broken through to Titled Douluo. In the same year, the Clear Sky Sect sealed its mountains, disappearing from the Spirit Master's world.
The above events are a brief overview of the Douluo Continent. Your subject Li Gang has temporarily settled in Hanhai City of the Heaven Dou Empire and continues to gather intelligence for the Empire. Your Majesty, please decide on a course of action as soon as possible.
After extensive investigation by your subject, it is initially judged that the Douluo Continent is a continent no smaller than the Sun Moon Continent. It has numerous powerful Spirit Masters, with a considerable number of Titled Douluo. The continent's population is estimated to be no less than 200 million people. Its strength is not inferior to our Sun Moon Empire, and its Spirit Master power is formidable. However, for some unknown reason, spirit tool technology on the Douluo Continent has almost disappeared. This could be a breakthrough point for the Empire.
May 26, Douluo Calendar 2637.
Rapidly scanning the intelligence in his hand, Xu Tianyang's eyes lit up with joy when they landed on the final date.
This point in time was when the story had just begun, Tang San's Spirit had just awakened, and everything was full of possibilities.
"Father, what attitude do you think we should maintain towards the Douluo Continent?" Xu Tianyang put down the intelligence and turned to look at Xu Yunxiao, who was staring at a map.
This map was sent back with the intelligence, covering the general geographical features of the Douluo Continent.
According to the analysis of the shipping routes, the Sun Moon Continent is located to the west of the Douluo Continent. If the two continents collide as in history, the positions of the three kingdoms should be roughly the same.
Hearing Xu Tianyang's question, Xu Yunxiao looked up and signaled to Mu Mengyu, who was beside him: "Take a look at the intelligence from the Fire Phoenix Soul Guidance Group."
Xu Tianyang took the intelligence from his mother's hand, quickly scanned it, and showed a surprised yet enlightened expression.
"According to the reconnaissance results of the Fire Phoenix Soul Guidance Group, the Sun Moon Continent is currently slowly moving towards the Douluo Continent. Whether the Douluo Continent is in a similar situation is unknown for now. Assuming the Douluo Continent is stationary, at the current speed of the Sun Moon Continent, the two continents will collide in at most two years, and in at most one year, the Sun Moon Continent will be visible from the Douluo Continent's coastline, making concealment impossible."
Mu Mengyu's serious voice followed, "We must prepare for the worst. The Empire currently has the upper hand; we still have time to gather intelligence on them, while they know nothing about us. This is our advantage."
"The Sun Moon Empire fears no challenge!" Xu Yunxiao's calm and composed voice came out.
"Father, Mother, in my opinion, it may not be the worst outcome." Looking at his solemn parents, Xu Tianyang raised the intelligence in his hand with a relaxed expression.
Knowing more than the two who had only a preliminary understanding of the Douluo Continent, he was clearer that given the situation on the Douluo Continent, it was impossible for them to unite. And an ununited Douluo Continent, how could it be an opponent to the unified Sun Moon Continent?
With successive breakthroughs in new spirit tool technologies and advancements in forging, the spirit tools of the Sun Moon Continent were about to undergo an upgrade, and their strength was rapidly advancing.
In contrast, the Douluo Continent was riddled with internal conflicts. The hatred between Heaven Dou and Star Luo had a long history, coupled with the madwoman Bibi Dong, and various contradictions among the Upper Three Sects. As long as they proceeded steadily, there was still a great opportunity.
The only force on the Douluo Continent that the Sun Moon Continent needed to handle with caution was the Spirit Hall. The strength of the Spirit Hall was still too strong for the current Sun Moon Empire.
However, fortunately, their internal structure was not monolithic.
Qian Daoliu's strength was indeed formidable, practically invincible in the current era.
His ninety-ninth level Angel Martial Soul, on the Sun Moon Continent, no one except the Evil Emperor could contend with him. Fortunately, this old man was a homebody; for a hundred years, apart from moving after his son's death, he had been holed up in the Hall of Enshrinement. However, they couldn't afford to be careless.
Xu Yunxiao and Mu Mengyu were also drawn by Xu Tianyang's words, and they saw his gaze slowly fall on the intelligence about the Clear Sky Sect.
"Indeed, this Douluo Continent is much more interesting than our Sun Moon Continent." How could Xu Yunxiao's intelligence be poor? He instantly understood the trick.
The previous Pope of the Spirit Hall had just died, and immediately after, the world's number one sect sealed its mountains. From his many years of experience in power, there must be some connection.
"There are at most two years left. This period is our opportunity. This is a matter concerning the entire continent, and my husband must summon the ministers to discuss it thoroughly."
"Issue an imperial decree: in three days, the Empire's Spirit Douluo, eighth-level Soul Engineers, and barons will jointly hold a grand court assembly!"
"Oh, right." Looking at his father issuing commands, Xu Tianyang remembered something else and asked curiously, "Father, the Douluo Continent has been found, but what about Sea God Island?"
Hearing Xu Tianyang's question, Xu Yunxiao's expression immediately became serious, and he said in a deep voice, "The search for Sea God Island has been temporarily put on hold. Those fellows only know the general location of Sea God Island. The fleet that went to investigate earlier encountered terrifying sea Spirit Beasts along the way, even a 100,000-year Spirit Beast. To avoid casualties, your father decided to temporarily suspend the plan to search for Sea God Island."
"Moreover… Seagod, are there really gods in this world?" As he spoke, a look of confusion appeared in the eyes of both Xu Yunxiao and Mu Mengyu.
Since the Sun Moon Empire's records began, the most powerful existence was the ruler of the Demon Forest, the Evil Emperor, but its strength was only at the ninety-ninth level, still a long way from the legendary gods.
Sea God Island was said to be the territory of the Seagod. Whether it was true or not, they no longer intended to provoke the other party proactively.
"That's good." Xu Tianyang felt a sense of relief for some reason upon hearing this. Poseixi was invincible at sea, and there was also a Deep Sea Demon Whale King in the deep sea that was about to reach a million years. No one could match the two of them at sea. No matter how many people the Sun Moon Continent sent, they would just be delivering themselves as food. He was truly afraid that his father, in pursuit of the legend of the gods, would recklessly seek out Sea God Island.
"For now, let's focus on the Douluo Continent and breakthroughs in spirit tools!"
"This is the very foundation of our Sun Moon Empire!"
...The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is located among the mountains southwest of Heaven Dou City.
This geographical location is quite common; most sects are established in such places. On one hand, it keeps them away from the noisy city, and they can gather resources from the nearby mountains. On the other hand, they can use the unique natural environment to set up various simulated training grounds.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a massive castle, mainly composed of various towers, giving it a grand and magnificent feel.
Many towers are built halfway up the mountains, shrouded in clouds and mist, exuding an ethereal aura without losing their majesty.
At this moment, in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's deliberation hall, Ning Fengzhi sat in the sect master's seat at the center of the hall.
On the left side sat an old man with sparse hair, tall but emaciated, with a somewhat frightening appearance. He was Bone Douluo Gu Rong, known as the number one in defense and the number one in strangeness, a ninety-fifth-level Titled Douluo.
On the right was a white-haired old man with an otherworldly demeanor. Staring at him for a long time, it felt as if one was not seeing a person, but a divine sword capable of severing all things in the world.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, known as the number one in attack, a ninety-sixth-level Titled Douluo.
After a long silence in the hall, Ning Fengzhi put down the gilded invitation in his hand, a flicker of thought in his eyes: "This Myriad Treasures Pavilion suddenly appeared in Heaven Dou City half a year ago, primarily selling elixirs, precious metals, and various treasures. Among them, the elixirs that can accelerate cultivation have driven various major forces crazy. Now they are actually holding an auction. I wonder what they are planning?"
"Fengzhi, why worry? Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the richest in the world; what kind of treasure can't we afford? It just so happens that there's a Soul Refining Pill this time. Let's bid for it for Rongrong. I believe Rongrong can break through to Spirit Grandmaster at eight years old, breaking the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's record." Gu Rong let out a strange laugh. Thinking of Ning Rongrong, his eyes were full of doting affection.
"Old Bone is right. With the three of us in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, no matter what the Myriad Treasures Pavilion is planning, it's nothing to fear." Chen Xin's thoughts were more delicate than Gu Rong's. He sensed Ning Fengzhi's worry, though he didn't know its source, but he believed that the sword in his hand was enough to cut through all obstacles.
"Sigh!" Looking at Chen Xin and Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi sighed with a headache and said, "It's not that I'm overthinking, but this Myriad Treasures Pavilion's origins are unknown. Even the imperial family hasn't found out where they came from. In the past six months, many Spirit Masters have tried to scheme against them, including Spirit Saints, but they still stand firm in Heaven Dou City."
"The hidden strength of the Myriad Treasures Pavilion is definitely extraordinary, but what exactly is their purpose?"
"Could it be the Spirit Hall…? No, that shouldn't be. If the Spirit Hall had these things, they wouldn't bring them out to benefit others. But there are only a few renowned powerhouses on the continent. Could these people have appeared out of thin air?"
"Fengzhi, you're overthinking. Whatever unknown purpose the Myriad Treasures Pavilion has, it will eventually show its true colors, perhaps at this auction." Gu Rong's eyes flickered as he said in a low voice.
"In that case, Uncle Jian, accompany me on a trip. We'll go to Qinghe first to see if they have any information…"
"Daddy…"
Hearing the voice from the doorway, Ning Fengzhi and the two instantly stopped their conversation, their eyes simultaneously showing doting affection as they looked at the petite figure appearing at the door.
"Hahaha…"
"Rongrong, come quickly to Grandpa Bone…"
At the same time, invitations were quickly sent to various forces on the Douluo Continent. Some, like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, were filled with doubts, while others were indifferent.
Thanks to the Myriad Treasures Pavilion's reputation over the past six months, mainly for its cultivation-assisting elixirs, the Myriad Treasures Pavilion had become a hot commodity in the eyes of various major forces.
Upon learning that the Myriad Treasures Pavilion was holding an auction, they all set off for Heaven Dou City without prior agreement.
For a time, Heaven Dou City gathered a large number of forces from the Douluo Continent, a truly unprecedented grand occasion.
