Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

Chapter 74 Huo Yuhao's Ancestor's Experience Ten Thousand Years Ago

A chill, originating from instinct, crept up Lu Jun's spine.

He clenched his fists instinctively, and the Ice Abyss Sword Martial Soul within his body emitted a faint hum, as if it were on alert for something.

Isn't this... Huo Yuhao's undead dimension?

Why are you here?
Just as Lu Jun was surprised, Leng Yaozhu noticed his gaze and reaction, walked to his side, and explained gently:
"Don't be nervous. This is the core secret realm hub of the Spirit Pagoda. As for that undead plane..."

She looked at the gray-black passageway with a hint of respect and emotion in her eyes.

"That was a special demiplane that Huo Yuhao's ancestor independently created and stabilized with his unparalleled cultivation and god-level spiritual power."

"This plane is connected to our Douluo Continent, but the laws are completely different, and it is filled with all kinds of undead creatures."

"These undead creatures vary in form and strength."

She turned to Lu Jun and said seriously:
"It is precisely because of the existence of this undead plane that the problem of evil spirit masters that has plagued the continent for thousands of years has been completely solved."

Leng Yaozhu continued:

"Those evil soul masters who need to rely on killing and devouring souls to cultivate are controlled and suppressed by us, suppressing their martial soul instincts."

"Once they are properly disciplined and can control their martial spirit instincts, and need spirits to enhance themselves, they can enter the undead plane. Under the protection of the ancestral laws, they can safely communicate with those undead creatures, sign contracts, and transform them into controllable and safe spirits."

"Then these souls go through the purification and standardization process of the Spirit Pagoda, and finally become 'undead souls' that are provided for soul masters to fuse with."

"It is this contract, which originated from the wisdom and power of Huo Yuhao's ancestor, that transformed the evil soul masters who once harmed the continent into a beneficial force that maintains the continent's order and promotes the development of soul masters."

"In the past ten thousand years, mass deaths caused by evil spirit masters have almost disappeared on the continent. Huo Yuhao's ancestor deserves great credit for this achievement, even more so than Tang San's ancestor twenty thousand years ago."

She looked at Lu Jun, her eyes sparkling with anticipation:
"And today, the reward you will receive is to enter another small space created by the ancestor Huo Yuhao, where you will receive the blessing left by the ancestor Huo Yuhao."

Leng Yaozhu led Lu Jun through another silver portal that emitted strange spatial fluctuations, and the scene before them suddenly opened up.

This is a huge circular hall with a towering dome inlaid with special soul-guiding crystals that emit a soft white light, illuminating the entire space as if at dawn.

The air was exceptionally clean, carrying an indescribable solemnity and ancient atmosphere.

Directly in front of the entrance to the hall stands a lifelike statue.

The statue is carved from a kind of warm, jade-like white stone, depicting a young man wearing an ancient robe with a gentle and peaceful temperament.

Most strikingly, there seemed to be a strange vertical eye outline faintly visible on his forehead.

The young man nodded slightly, his gaze gentle as he looked at everyone entering the hall.

The base of the statue is inscribed with ancient and solemn characters.

"Huo Yuhao, one of the founders of the Spirit Pagoda."

"This is Huo Yuhao's ancestor," Leng Yaozhu said with heartfelt reverence.

She stopped and bowed deeply and sincerely to the statue, her movements precise and devout.

Lu Jun immediately composed himself and became respectful.

He gazed at the statue of the great man who had changed the landscape of the continent and had a profound impact on the Spirit Pagoda and even the entire Soul Master world.

I secretly said:

"It seems that without someone's mental pollution and forced intelligence reduction aura, this Spirit Ice Douluo is indeed much more normal."

"Not only did it solve the problem of coexistence between humans and soul beasts, but it also developed the Spirit Pagoda, selflessly contributing the plane of the dead and transforming it into the spirits of the dead, thus satisfying all the problems of eradicating the root of evil soul masters and allowing a large number of people who should have died at the hands of evil soul masters to survive."

"All that he created and the peaceful legacy he left behind truly deserves the utmost respect from future generations."

Thinking of this, he bowed deeply to Huo Yuhao's statue with the same sincerity. "Let's go in." Leng Yaozhu straightened up, looked at Lu Jun, and smiled encouragingly. "If our ancestor Huo Yuhao were alive, he would definitely like you very much."

"You like me?" Lu Jun was taken aback and blurted out instinctively, "Could it be... that ancestor Huo Yuhao didn't die?"

The thought startled even himself.

Ten thousand years have passed.

The fact that Huo Yuhao didn't ascend to the God Realm but instead survived on the Douluo Continent is terrifying.

Leng Yaozhu was taken aback upon hearing this, then chuckled and shook her head, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes:

"No, Huo Yuhao's ancestor did not successfully ascend to the God Realm. The lifespan of mortals is ultimately limited."

"According to accurate historical records, the last place our ancestor appeared before his lifespan ended was here, at the headquarters of our Spirit Pagoda, the core area that he personally established and guarded."

She raised her hand and pointed towards the depths of the hall, her voice carrying a distant, lingering quality:
"Therefore, this place is also revered as the Tomb of Our Ancestor by the successive members of our Spirit Pagoda. Although we have spent a full ten thousand years, we still have not been able to find the remains of our ancestor Huo Yuhao."

"However, many notes written by Huo Yuhao's ancestor are still preserved here. He shared his life's experience and skills with his descendants without reservation, so that we can stand on the shoulders of our ancestors and reach for a higher and broader sky."

As Leng Yaozhu led Lu Jun around the statue and deeper into the hall, she continued to explain:
"And this secret realm was specially created by our ancestor Huo Yuhao as a gift to the most core descendants of the Spirit Pagoda. Its purpose is to give us blessings and opportunities, to help us descendants improve our strength, and to better protect the ideals and foundation he left behind."

The two walked along the wide passage, flanked by towering stone walls that were not blank but covered with exquisite murals and reliefs.

The murals depict the eventful life of Huo Yuhao ten thousand years ago.

From the hardships of awakening his Spirit Eye Martial Soul as a teenager to his studies at Shrek Academy, he forged deep bonds with his companions...

Later, when his ideas diverged from Shrek Academy, he left the academy and went out on his own to establish the Spirit Tower, demonstrating foresight and vision. Ultimately, he opened up the Netherworld and achieved the great feat of resolving all the crises on the continent.

Each mural is lifelike and full of historical weight.

As Lu Jun walked and looked around, he was even more shocked.

It's exactly as described in history books.

Huo Yuhao initially joined Shrek Academy, but later seemed to disagree with Shrek Academy's philosophy and went independent. In the end, he even developed the Soul Spirit System, cooperated with Soul Beasts, and created the Spirit Pagoda.

The Huo Yuhao depicted in this mural is full of wisdom, resilience, loyalty, and righteousness, and also possesses the brilliance of humanity and the compassion of divinity.

To thoroughly rewrite Huo Yuhao's experiences from ten thousand years ago into a true heroic epic.

Nevertheless, Lu Jun still felt that it was far more real and moving than some forced biographies that portrayed the protagonist as a great, glorious, and righteous figure.

After all, both history books and the murals here depict Huo Yuhao's deeds in a true way.

Lu Jun also saw a mural that described him as the son of the White Tiger Duke of the Star Luo Empire ten thousand years ago, and Huo Yuhao also fulfilled his wish to take revenge. The final result was that the Star Luo Empire was completely destroyed.

Furthermore, it helped the Sun Moon Empire complete the unification of the continent, achieving great unification and resource integration, thus paving the way for smoother development for future generations.

One of the paintings left a very deep impression on Lu Jun.

Duke White Tiger knelt on the ground, embracing someone and weeping bitterly; the entire room was filled with a bloody scene.

In the scene, Huo Yuhao appears to have completed an important task, as if relieved of a heavy burden, and walks out of the room into a new world.

Of course, Lu Jun didn't know the specific details either.

Historical records and murals do not provide much detail.

For a more detailed answer, we would probably have to ask Huo Yuhao himself from 10,000 years ago to know the whole story.
