Chapter 251

After Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan left the Slaughter City, they all the way returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect; now Gu Xuan is already level seventy, he needs a Soul Ring to level up.

Du Gu Yan, on the other hand, does not need a Soul Ring; after she breaks through level seventy, she can directly absorb and refine that Ten-Headed Blazing Yang Snake's inner core.

It took them half a month, and Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan had already returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect; Ning Fengzhi and the others, upon seeing the two return, also showed delight.

This group of youngsters had gone out for training over a year ago, and the elders in the sect were all very worried; now that Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan have returned, it can be considered to have eased their worries somewhat.

As for Ning Rongrong and the others, they should have already reached Sea God Island by now, and may even have begun the trials; although the sect's elders are very worried, there's nothing they can do.

Gu Xuan is actually fine; according to the original story, given Ning Rongrong and the others' current talent, they are considerably stronger than in the original, so they should not encounter any problems in the Sea God Island trials.

Moreover, Gu Xuan doesn't have much mental energy to worry about them either, because he himself has many things to accomplish.

The first is to obtain a Soul Ring; the second is to cleanse oneself of worldly impurities and fully master the Slaughter God Domain.

The third point is that the three-year agreement one year from now is imminent; although Gu Xuan is confident he will not lose to Qian Renxue, this premise is that he himself has no slack.

Otherwise, if he were to lose, that would be interesting.

However, between obtaining a Soul Ring and mastering the Slaughter God Domain, Gu Xuan chose to first fully master the Slaughter God Domain.

Because if he does not fully master the Slaughter God Domain, absorbing his seventh Soul Ring may not go smoothly.

Because the target of his seventh Soul Ring is the Forest Emperor of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Azure Bull Python.

No soul beast is more suitable than the Azure Bull Python to serve as Gu Xuan's seventh Soul Ring, so his choice is naturally this soul beast.

Moreover, it is worth mentioning that not only has Gu Xuan improved, but the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect has also seen considerable growth under its uninterrupted development over the past two years.

First, the methods for producing various hidden weapons obtained from Tang San at the beginning have now begun mass production; the auxiliary Soul Masters within the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect have all completed their equipment, and their life-preserving abilities have been strengthened.

Second, Ye Haitang and Zhang Jinyuan have both reached level eighty-nine, only one level away from ninety; according to their own estimates, they are expected to break through to level ninety within three years.

Yang Wudi is slightly behind, having only cultivated to mid level eighty-eight so far, because the Broken Soul Spear martial soul becomes harder to cultivate in its later stages.

However, with the support of abundant resources, Yang Wudi's future breakthrough to level ninety is not impossible.

Ning Fengzhi has also cultivated from level eighty-five to level eighty-seven, bringing him one step closer to level ninety.

These days, Ning Fengzhi can increase his soul power by roughly one level per year; he cultivates every day, and whenever something is not especially important, he delegates it to the elder council, while he himself focuses on cultivation, hoping to break through to level ninety as soon as possible.

Among the Titled Douluo in the sect, each has made progress; Youming Luo has advanced from peak level ninety-one to level ninety-two.

Zuoyi, Mihe, and Longwu have all reached level ninety-three, their strength further increased.

Dugu Bo is level ninety-four, and he now has a chance to break through to level ninety-five; in terms of group battle ability, he remains unquestionably the best.

Gu Rong has advanced from early level ninety-seven to mid level, his breakthrough being relatively slow, because at his level, each step of cultivation can be described as enormous.

Chen Xin remains at early level ninety-eight, but not far from mid level; he and Gu Rong are still the two undisputed guardian deities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect.

Besides this, the mid-level members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect have also seen great improvement; for example, Qin Ming has already broken through to the Soul Sage realm, and some other talents are beginning to stand out.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Sect now presents a picture of flourishing prosperity, but Gu Xuan knows these are only temporary.

In the original story, five years after the conclusion of the continental elite tournament of high-level Soul Master academies, the Spirit Hall will launch the Spirit Hunt operation, thereby initiating a conquest of the continent.

Two years have already passed, and there are only three short years left until the Spirit Hunt operation.

Of course, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect now does not fear Bi Bi Dong launching the Spirit Hunt operation, for given the sect's current strength, if the Spirit Hall's worship hall does not intervene, even if many people come from the Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect can swallow however many bowls.

But what Gu Xuan cares about is not that; moreover, in the continental conflict three years from now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect may not necessarily possess the power to unify the continent, because Gu Xuan has not yet obtained a divine inheritance.

That's right, he has not received the inheritance of the Asura God's position; I don't know why, even though Gu Xuan has displayed such great talent, the Asura God has not bestowed any inheritance, not even a bit of information.

This is why Gu Xuan is anxious; although he wants to create his own divine position, given his current strength, creating a divine position is still too far off.

Because it is impossible for him to reach level ninety-nine within the next three years, or even a bit more, within the next five years.

If nothing changes within five years, Bi Bi Dong will surely launch a continental war, and divine intervention will occur within ten years; Gu Xuan might be able to reach level ninety-nine within ten years, and then create his own divine position.

But what if he fails to reach it? That is why Gu Xuan is anxious.

However, Gu Xuan knows that being anxious now is useless; although the Asura God has no intention of bestowing a divine inheritance, he will instead gamble on the future himself.

Therefore, after returning to the sect, besides normal cultivation, Gu Xuan and Du Gu Yan spend their remaining time mastering the Slaughter God Domain, that is, mastering their own killing intent and cleansing themselves of worldly impurities.

Gu Xuan's method is to follow Chen Xin in sword practice, which for him is a good way to cleanse himself of worldly impurities.

Du Gu Yan, on the other hand, learns from Ning Fengzhi, mastering her own killing intent under his guidance.

There are many ways to cleanse oneself of worldly impurities; as long as they find the method best suited to them, they can quickly master the killing intent they have accumulated over the past year and a half, thereby becoming stronger.

As for soul power cultivation, after a Soul Master reaches the limit of a level, further cultivation does not increase soul power, but after obtaining a Soul Ring, the previously cultivated soul power will manifest, so Gu Xuan is not worried about this.

After breaking through level seventy, Gu Xuan's cultivation speed has slightly decreased, but it remains steady at roughly one level every three months.

While this speed is a slight decline for Gu Xuan, for others it is already an astonishingly terrifying pace; even Soul Sages can gain one level every three months, four levels per year, a speed that can be described as absolutely shocking to heaven and humanity!
