Chapter 159: Start researching soul spirits!

It must be said that there are many wealthy people on the Dou Luo Continent.

On the first day of opening, they earned a full hundred billion Gold Soul Coins.

In a certain sense, they are even more valuable than medicinal pills.

Because compared to the slow strength increase of medicinal pills, directly buying ready-made high-combat-power weapons is more cost-effective and swift.

This wealth, if not backed by absolute power to deter, would surely attract jealous people to come cause trouble and grab a share.

At the same time, it spread that the master of the Divine Craft Pavilion, Titan of the Power Clan, is a Title Douluo possessing a ninth soul ring of a hundred thousand years.

This is also something Li Fei had Titan deliberately do.

It is meant to deter outsiders.

Those without a Title Douluo dare not act against forces that have a Title Douluo.

Even an empire, if it mobilizes a large army, would pay a heavy price.

Moreover, Titan excels in close-combat bursts, possessing a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, making his power extremely terrifying.

One punch can kill a large area.

Although Titan might eventually be worn down, the army would also suffer heavy losses; for an empire, this is not good—it could even collapse, leaving it open to invasion by other empires and powers.

No foolish monarch would do such a thing.

In this world, the only forces capable of direct action are those possessing a Title Douluo.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Clear Sky Sect, Spirit Hall, and similar powers.

However, the most likely to act is the Spirit Hall.

Especially the Spirit Hall under Bibi Dong's era.

This woman is a lunatic.

Li Family Headquarters, Ice Fire Yin Yang Eye.

"Patriarch, Xue Ye's condition is to become the National Guardian Elder of the Heaven Dou Empire; aside from the heir's position, he will give me whatever I want. What do you think?" Titan returned from the Divine Craft Pavilion and asked respectfully.

It must be said, Titan is indeed somewhat tempted.

"Agree to him; this is also one of my purposes in having you reveal your soul power. Securing the position of Heaven Dou Empire's National Guardian Elder, with the Heaven Dou Empire openly backing you, the Spirit Hall will be wary and dare not act rashly. Your high standing will greatly aid our Li Family's future plans."

"Don't forget, our overall plan is to fragment the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire into countless small states, including those with large territories, which must continue to be divided."

After hearing Titan's words, Li Fei curled the corner of his mouth, knowing his plan had succeeded; after a moment's thought, he spoke lightly.

With Titan, obtaining territory legitimately in the future becomes much easier.

Not only the Heaven Dou Empire, but also the Star Luo Empire.

The chief of the Breaking One Clan, Yang Wudi, is the person he has planted to become the National Guardian Elder of the Star Luo Empire.

The National Guardian Elder is a post that, to some extent, can sway an empire's development; moreover, it is a legitimate conferment by the emperor, allowing the emperor to become a puppet. Li Fei's ambition is indeed great.

Although with his current personal strength and the Li Family's strength, they could easily overthrow all imperial rule and this world.

But doing so is exhausting, and most importantly, the sense of achievement is low.

The greater one's strength, the less likely they are to act directly, because being the puppet master behind the scenes is extremely satisfying.

Making others unable to fathom you, they fear you.

Everything under heaven is but a chessboard and game belonging to him, Li Fei. When his Li Family's people reach the pinnacle of the political arena, that is the moment to completely overturn the world's original regime.

At the same time, he plans to lure out the Spirit Hall's Title Douluo, bring them under his control, infiltrate the Spirit Hall, sow internal strife, and dismantle the Spirit Hall from within and without.

His moves are rather vicious.

"I know how to do it." Titan nodded.

"Go on." Li Fei nodded: "Next, I will enter seclusion; for any matters, just find my two grandfathers."

"Yes." Titan left.

Li Fei found Gu Yue: "Yue, I need you to help me with something; for you it's simple to accomplish. Once this is done, soul beasts can escape the fate of being killed by humans to become soul rings."

"As long as I can help soul beasts escape this fate, I'm willing to do anything." Gu Yue's voice excited: "Can you tell me about it?"

"Good, there is something called a soul spirit."

Li Fei quietly told Gu Yue the knowledge about soul spirits.

Only using soul beast blood is needed to cultivate a soul spirit; a single soul spirit can at least provide three soul rings to a soul master.

Soul spirits also possess growth potential; once grown, they can continually provide soul rings to soul masters.

The years of the soul rings also increase as the soul master and soul spirit grow.

"This is great! If truly realized, humanity would no longer need to hunt soul beasts for soul rings! But how do we achieve it?"

"Moreover, among humans there are many groups that make a living by hunting soul beasts; how should we handle them? Certainly some will be unwilling, and the appearance of soul spirits will cut off many people's livelihoods."

Gu Yue was very happy, but also had a worry.

"With so many humans, losing a few is no big deal."

"Those who obey will switch professions; by then the Li Family's industries will spread across the continent, they can work for the Li Family and lay down their lives for me; if they disobey, they will go into the Soul Beast Forest to hunt soul beasts, and if we discover them, we will arrange people to kill those disobedient ones, and you soul beasts can also kill them directly."

"We must force everyone to adapt to soul spirits; then I will unite all nations, the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and other major powers to promote it."

"With a safe, growth-capable soul ring supply, many people naturally won't want to risk spending large amounts of time searching for suitable soul rings."

Li Fei's expression remained flat; in his view, human life is practically worthless.

What's more, concerning outsiders unrelated to him.

"But this also cannot stop humans from continuing to hunt soul beasts; our soul beasts' numbers and varieties are dwindling, especially the high-year ones, needing a long time to rest and reproduce." Gu Yue said.

Li Fei smiled; his method is simple and brutal: "This is easy; at that time, think of a way to gather all land soul beasts in one place—either seal the entire Star Dou Great Forest with a formation to buy you time to rest and reproduce, or go out to sea to find a brand-new tract of land, or simply split the Star Dou Great Forest apart."

"We'll wait until your soul spirits are cultivated; before the finished product appears, nothing can be said." Gu Yue shook her head.

"Alright, I will go into seclusion to study this first; you return to the Star Dou Great Forest and try to find as much fresh blood of all soul beasts as possible, including those already extinct—find one, get one—not just land soul beasts, but also those from the Far North, sea areas, etc.; I want them all."

"This project is quite large; thank you for your hard work."

Li Fei kissed Gu Yue on the forehead.

Gu Yue felt happy: "Mm, you just focus on your closed-door cultivation; I'll handle the soul beast blood matter."

For her, it's really not a big problem.

It just means she'll have to run a bit more.
