Chapter 229: Core Zone

Tie Li has been cultivating inside Baidi, stabilizing his own condition.

Since the last time he released his Domain, the Bone Wing has greatly improved, and he can feel it nurturing a new power.

Therefore Tie Li is not in a hurry to leave Baidi.

His soul power level has reached Level 60, allowing him to obtain his sixth Soul Ring.

But the sixth Soul Ring definitely requires Du Gu Bo or the Three Great Sect Committee's help; when he leaves the team, his soul power level is only Fifty‑Seven Level.

It hasn't been long before he jumps straight to Level 60 back in Tiandou City, which inevitably makes others speculate.

He would rather stay in Baidi to cultivate properly, carefully feeling the Bone Wing's changes, so that later he can quickly master the new power.

As for everything happening in the outside world, it currently has little relevance to him.

It is precisely because the Clear Sky Sect has emerged that it has attracted the attention of the Soul Master World.

This also caused the beast tide that appeared in Baidi to be ignored, with everyone's gaze fixed on the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect.

Yet the imagined great battle did not erupt because of that.

The Spirit Hall's silence led all factions to wonder whether the Clear Sky Sect's current strength could threaten the Spirit Hall's lofty position.

Back then, the seven titled Douluo who appeared from the Clear Sky Sect were enough to make any force in the Soul Master World feel deeply powerless.

Seven titled Douluo possessing the Haotian Hammer Weapon Soul!

And among the lower‑tier Soul Masters, rumors kept spreading that the Clear Sky Sect was the number‑one Soul Master force in the world.

It seemed as if an invisible giant hand was steering public opinion.

For a time, the Clear Sky Sect's reputation actually seemed to eclipse the Spirit Hall's momentum.

Originally both great empires were guarding the Spirit Hall's every move, but with the Clear Sky Sect's strong emergence and the direction of public opinion, the royal families of the two great empires inevitably began to think differently.

"Your Holiness, isn't the Clear Sky Sect's recent surge a bit exaggerated? Should we…?"

Inside the Papal Hall, a ghost Douluo made a hand gesture.

"Let them be arrogant for a while; later we'll give them a painful lesson, and it will be perfect for the Clear Sky Sect to draw the two great empires' attention to us."

All of this is under Bibi Dong's manipulation; the current situation is exactly what she wanted to see.

What she needs is time!

The only regret is that the Ten Thousand Year Soft‑Bone Rabbit escaped.

But the Clear Sky Sect is not calm either; after all, this is a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone—who could resist such temptation?

"Father, where are you taking us?" Tang San looked at his father, a little puzzled.

"She cannot stay in the Clear Sky Sect; I think you've felt the change among the clan; Xiao Wu, return to the Star Dou Great Forest. If you really want to stay with Xiao San forever, at the very least you both must have the strength of a titled Douluo; with your current power you cannot control your own destiny."

The two said nothing, but they tacitly accepted Tang Hao's words.

This time, Tang Hao not only intends to send Xiao Wu back to the Star Dou Great Forest, but also to have Tang San complete the second awakening of his Blue‑Silver Grass martial soul.

Compared with Tang San and Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing also returned to the Xingluo Empire.

Zhu Zhuqing obtained the seventy‑thousand‑year Yinlei Magic Dragon Left Arm Bone, originally intending to go to the Tian Dou Royal Academy to find Tie Li, but was told that Tie Li had temporarily left.

After waiting three months without any sign of Tie Li, Zhu Zhuqing could only take the soul bone and temporarily accompany Dai Mubai back to the Star Dou Empire.

Such an important soul bone, she naturally would not hand it over lightly.

"You promised me, when we return to the empire this time, you will help me seize the Imperial Seat."

"Don't worry, I will keep my word."

Rest assured, I will keep my word.

"Hoo"

"Sss"

With both Bone Wings opened, fierce Lightning Light wrapped the Bone Wings like feathers; with a light swing, Tie Li instantly shot upward, moving at a speed comparable to a Soul Emperor Level Flying Soul Master.

With both Bone Wings spread, fierce Lightning Light wrapped the Bone Wings like feathers; with a light swing, Tie Li instantly shot into the sky at a speed so fast it was not inferior to a Soul Emperor Level Flying Soul Master.

Although he has not yet absorbed the sixth Soul Ring, cultivation can still raise his soul power, but Tie Li enjoys the genuine boost that comes after absorbing a Soul Ring even more.

The journey from Baidi back to the Tian Dou Royal Academy is not short; with Tie Li's current Soul Power Level, it still takes about ten days.

"Kid, why does it take so long… you're Level 60 now?"

He had just reached the foot of the academy's mountain when Du Gu Bo's figure appeared behind him.

The Soul Power Level naturally cannot escape the eyes of this titled Douluo; three months of gaining three levels, his cultivation speed is truly astonishing.

"I went to a domain that originally belonged to my Fenglei Sect."

Tie Li summoned the Zhen Long Chui Spirit, and the three Thunder Stone Seals on the hammer's handle were now four.

When deploying his martial soul, the Thunder Stone Seals cannot be hidden, so he simply used them as an excuse for this trip.

Sure enough, upon seeing the Thunder Stone Seals, Du Gu Bo's eyes shifted from shock to a "just as expected" expression.

"The rabbit's three burrows, Fenglei Sect has a hidden backup, it's not surprising."

"But back to the point, you went this way, yet missed the crucial thing."

Du Gu Bo mentioned the matter of Zhu Zhuqing waiting three months for him.

Even Du Gu Bo did not anticipate that the seventy‑thousand‑year Yinlei Magic Dragon Left Arm Bone would be given to Tie Li.

"I didn't expect this girl's feelings toward you, but the Xingluo Royal Family's rules aren't so easily changed," Du Gu Bo said, giving Tie Li a deep look.

Tie Li said nothing, but his gaze was extremely complicated; no one could guess what he was thinking at that moment.

After waiting a long time, Tie Li finally spoke.

"My sixth Soul Ring's age has reached fifty thousand years."

Fifty thousand years? Du Gu Bo narrowed his eyes; reaching fifty thousand years on the sixth Soul Ring means the seventh Soul Ring could possibly break the hundred‑thousand‑year limit.

But a hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beast is not so easy to find.

But a hundred‑thousand‑year Soul Beast isn't that easy to discover.

Among all those Title Douluo, how many can add a Soul Ring that reaches the, 000-year Tier for themselves?

Finding a Soul Beast older than 50,000 years whose attributes match one's own martial soul is extremely good.

"In the Sunset Forest it's hard to find a 50,000-year Soul Beast that matches your martial soul; you can only try your luck in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Fine."

Du Gu Bo's soul power enveloped Tie Li, and in an instant the scene before his eyes blurred; the speed of a Title Douluo is not something a Soul King can capture.

When he landed, Tie Li's face turned ashen; with his current physical strength, he still couldn't adapt to the speed of a Title Douluo.

"For a Soul Beast around 50,000 years old, you can try your luck in the Core Area; I hope your luck isn't too bad, because if a troublesome Soul Beast appears, I may not be able to keep you safe."

This is not Du Gu Bo's alarmist talk, but the real situation: super Soul Beasts with top-tier bloodlines unleash combat power that cannot be measured by cultivation level.

For example, the hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear can hunt ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts; that is the terrifying aspect of super Soul Beasts.

"I understand, I will be careful."

This time, delving into the Star Luo Great Forest, Tie Li must stay vigilant at all times.

The deeper one goes into the Star Dou Great Forest, the more the primal aura in the air instills fear.
