Chapter 39: Returning to the Sect

Yu Tianyun carries numerous rare herbs on his person; at this moment he can be called one of the richest people on Douluo Continent.

Of course, aside from beasts, he can't compare to the reclusive Silver Dragon King, and perhaps not even to Emperor Tian.

Yet the value of this pile of herbs on him is beyond even a peerless Douluo like Qian Daoliu.

However, these herbs only matter if they are turned into strength; otherwise they are worthless.

Therefore, he is now single‑mindedly eager to return quickly and bolster his sect's power.

Especially his grandfather Yu Yuanzhen—if Yu Yuanzhen can breakthrough to level 97, the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect might not suffer such a tragic fate in the genocide war.

After taking the Wang Chuan Qiu Shui Dew, Yu Tianyun's memories of his past life become increasingly clear.

He remembers that at this time in his previous life there was no Title Douluo of level 97.

In the later part of the original work, however, Chen Xin and Tang Xiao broke through to the level‑97 realm.

Today, across the entire Douluo Continent, apart from the three great peerless Douluo, Bi Bi Dong, and the Golden Crocodile Douluo, the level‑97 realm shows a gap.

Below that, Title Douluo are numerous; for example, the Spirit Hall's third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh offerings, and the top three sects' Yu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiao, and Chen Xin are all level‑96 Title Douluo.

Once I marry Ning Rongrong, I could boost both Jian and Gu a bit, but for now our relationship is not yet familiar enough!

At that time, both sects will have level‑97 Title Douluo, and when the Spirit Hall launches a soul‑hunting operation, the highest soul power is only a level‑95 Title Douluo like Ju or Gui; thus surviving the sect‑annihilation crisis would not be too difficult.

In the original work, Yu Yuanzhen was only level‑96; the Spirit Hall, leveraging its numerical advantage, besieged Yu Yuanzhen, ultimately sacrificing a Title Douluo who perished with him.

If he breaks through to level‑97, at least Yu Yuanzhen would no longer be killed by a siege.

Chen Xin of the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect had an arm cut off in battle, and through great enlightenment broke through to level‑97.

Even with a missing arm, once he breakthroughs, he displays overwhelming combat power, able to spare strength to protect the sect's core members in retreat.

If Chen Xin were in a complete state, he could even counter‑attack! This shows that level‑97 is a qualitative leap over level‑96 in Title Douluo combat power. As for Yu Luomian, he has been stuck at level‑89 for many years; giving him a Nine‑grade Purple Ganoderma—a herb that stabilizes the foundation, boosts qi, and transforms the body—should make breaking to level‑90 no problem.

Thus, the soul‑hunting operation would gain an unknown Title Douluo, a huge variable that could even turn the tide of battle.

It's not that Yu Tianyun is unwilling to give his second grandfather a celestial herb; his second grandfather is already old, his talent exhausted, and even a celestial herb would not let him breakthrough to Super Douluo.

And giving Yu Yuanzhen, who is already a Super Douluo, the Nine‑grade Purple Ganoderma may still not be enough to clear the level‑97 barrier.

If the level‑97 barrier were that easy to break, there could be no doubt that the continent today would already have a level‑97 Title Douluo.

Giving Yu Yuanzhen a celestial herb, even if it only raises him one level, is a profit! Afterwards come the Soul Douluo‑rank elders; Yu Tianyun plans to give each of them a Nine‑grade Purple Ganoderma or a herb of the same tier such as Snow Silkworm or Snow Ginseng, enough to give them hope of breaking through to Title Douluo.

Yu Tianyun's parents also broke through to the Soul Douluo realm within the past two years; both are under sixty, still young for that level, and each has hope of advancing to Title Douluo. After taking a celestial herb, they may even reach Super Douluo! To prevent the sect's annihilation, Yu Tianyun has been scheming for years; now he sighs, "Alas! If only Qian Xunji hadn't died!"

Qian Xunji wouldn't be as crazy as Bi Bi Dong; at least he shouldn't come to annihilate the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect, at most he might wipe out the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect.

Because the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect has always kept to itself, unlike the Qi Bao Liu Li Sect which jumps around, constantly mingling with the Tian Dou Empire.

The Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect has always maintained a neutral stance, rarely joining the conflicts of various forces, exuding a reclusive sect vibe.

That madwoman Bi Bi Dong, because of the so‑called support of Yu Xiao Gang and Liu Erlong, intends to destroy the entire Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect.

Yu Tianyun couldn't help but feel indignant, thinking, "I could have just lain back and enjoyed life, but you forced me to become a god! Once I grow strong, I'll pin you Bi Bi Dong beneath me, in front of your daughter, and brutally trample you! Let you know what cruelty is!"

The more Yu Tianyun thought, the angrier he became; he ignited his fourth Soul Ring, his speed instantly tripled, flashing like lightning across the sky.

At dusk, Yu Tianyun finally returned to the Lan Dian Ba Wang Sect after a three‑month absence, folded his Double Wings, and hurried inside.

Just as Yu Tianyun arrived outside the golden hall atop Yulong Mountain, he heard his father's and grandfather's voices from inside.

"Xiao Gang has been in Nodding City these past years, still the same, but it seems he has taken a disciple named Tang San, whose martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, with innate full soul power."

"Huh? Blue Silver Grass with innate full soul power? Blue Silver Grass can't be innate full soul power; it must be an unusual Blue Silver Grass! That Xiao Gang kid probably wants to train his disciple to prove himself. Sigh, the kid is just too stubborn!"

"Huh? You stinky kid, eavesdropping outside isn't a good habit, why don't you come in?"

Yu Yuanzhen frowned, sensed someone approaching, and after careful detection realized it was his own grandson.

Seeing that Yu Yuanzhen had discovered him, Yu Tianyun stopped hiding and walked openly toward the two, saying:

"Grandfather, dad, I'm back. Were you just talking about my second uncle?"

"Hmm, your grandfather has been thinking of your second uncle again lately, so he asked me to visit and bring back some news about your second uncle," Yu Xiaofeng said.

"You stinky kid, after three months of training, have you broken through to level‑40?"

Yu Yuanzhen's face showed a faint smile; although his younger son was not present, having his grandson by his side was a blessing for an elder of his age.

Hearing Yu Yuanzhen's question, Yu Tianyun's mouth twitched up mischievously and said, "Old man, watch me turn you into a big baby!"

With that, a blue lightning flash erupted on his body; four Soul Rings—yellow, purple, purple, black—aligned in order, pulsating up and down, blue‑purple dragon scales appeared and instantly covered his entire body. Yu Yuanzhen, who had a faint angry expression upon hearing his grandson's brazen words, suddenly opened his mouth wide, his eyes bulging, unable to utter a reprimand.

Yu Xiaofeng was also stunned, exclaiming, "Ten‑thousand‑year Soul Ring? Complete Dragon Transformation? Level‑45?"
