Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

"Us?" Dugu Bo frowned slightly. When Di Hong said "us," who exactly was he referring to? The Heaven Dou Empire, the Spirit Hall, or the Kingdom of Silves, from which he came? What exactly did he want to do?

"You'll understand later, senior."

"Now, your task is to cultivate diligently and improve your strength. When you reach the title of Douluo, you will know what we need to do."

"Your martial soul was able to evolve from the Azure Phosphorous Serpent to the Azure Scale Serpent Emperor, so your talent is naturally extraordinary. It's only a matter of time before you cultivate to the title of Douluo."

Both Dugu Bo and his son Dugu Xin possess the Azure Phosphorous Serpent martial soul, but Dugu Bo's martial soul has evolved. As for how it evolved, he doesn't know; it's estimated that it evolves upon reaching a certain level of cultivation. It could be a Soul Saint or a Title Douluo.

As for why Dugu Bo now possesses the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, that's unclear, and he doesn't care about such things.

"Also, senior, you must protect this place and prevent thieves from getting in."

"Don't worry, since you trust me, as long as I, Dugu Bo, am alive, you'll never be short of a medicinal herb," ​​Dugu Bo assured him, patting his chest.

Di Hong pointed to a large, pale pink, leafless flower. The flower was crystal clear, emitting a faint, delicate fragrance.

"That flower is called the Fragrant Jade Flower, a nemesis of all poisons. It can neutralize all toxins, but it cannot cure poisons. If you find it useful, senior, you may take it."

"It can counteract all poisons." Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised, looking at that flower. Just one flower could actually counteract poisons. The things that grow in this place are indeed extraordinary. No wonder Di Hong values ​​this place so much.

Then, Di Hong pointed out the rare medicinal herbs here to Dugu Bo.

"Apart from the ones I pointed out, you may pick the remaining medicinal herbs as you wish. If you wish to plant other herbs, they can grow here at a speed a thousand times faster, and their medicinal effects will far surpass those of herbs grown elsewhere."

"Growing a thousandfold."

Dugu Bo looked around and found himself growing to like this place more and more. He was a recluse by nature and loved quiet, and there was no better place than this.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of you. Not a single one of your herbs will be lost. If any thief dares to set his sights on this place, I'll personally find him a burial site in a propitious location."

With the help of this place, his poison skills might be able to reach a new level, and it's not impossible that he could develop even more powerful snake venom.

After a while, the two left.

Back in Tiandou City, Dugu Bo took Dugu Xin and left. He preferred the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to the Marquis's Mansion, and planned to settle down there with his son to cultivate. Once the soul bone was ready, he could detoxify his son. He wasn't in a hurry for himself; he would wait until he had a suitable soul bone. In any case, he already knew how to detoxify.

When Dugu Xin reached the appropriate age, he was sent to study at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. He didn't have many friends, and he didn't want his son to end up like him.

After Dugu Bo left, Tang Yuehua asked, "Does Senior Dugu agree?"

Di Hong nodded.

"Everyone who came after me is yours now. When will it be my turn?" Tang Yuehua's tone was full of jealousy. A grown man was ahead of her in line, and she, such a beautiful woman, hadn't even gotten her turn yet.

"Why do I feel like there's something strange about what you're saying?" Di Hong looked at Tang Yuehua with a strange expression. This girl was becoming more and more fierce, completely unlike the Tang Yuehua he remembered.

"I have already written to my father, and we will go to Haotian Sect in a few days."

"Really?" Tang Yuehua was both surprised and delighted.

"It's fake." Di Hong said irritably and left.

Tang Yuehua also jogged back to her room to write a letter back to Haotian Sect.

Chapter 89. Heading to the Haotian Sect

Chapter 89 Heading to the Haotian Sect

a few days later.

Di Hong and Tang Yuehua went to Haotian Sect. The sect leader of Haotian Sect, Tang Wei, already knew that Di Hong was coming, so he was waiting for him.

He already knew that in two days, Di Hong's mother would come to Haotian Sect in person.

Not only him, but even the only remaining first-generation disciple of the Haotian Sect, now an elder of the Haotian Sect, is waiting.

The only person among them who had ever seen Di Hong was the Seventh Elder, Tang Lie. After helping Di Hong hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast, he talked about it eight times a day, leaving the others speechless.

Even someone as proud and arrogant as Tang Lie praised Di Hong. They were also eager to meet him and see what this genius was all about. He had reached level 76 at the age of fourteen, which was almost unprecedented in the history of Soul Masters.

They had never heard of a Soul Saint who was only fourteen years old, and the seventh Soul Ring was already 100,000 years old.

Outside the gate of Haotian Sect.

A horse-drawn carriage stopped.

Di Hong and Tang Yuehua came down.

Looking at the magnificent Haotian Sect before him, Di Hong couldn't help but marvel.

"Truly worthy of being called the number one sect in the world."

"This magnificent aura alone is enough to scare away those with malicious intentions."

"Let's go in." Tang Yuehua smiled and walked ahead, but she was actually a little nervous inside. She was afraid that her father would not approve of Di Hong.

The gate opened, and a martial arts arena came into view. Many disciples of the Haotian Sect were cultivating here. The Haotian Sect was divided into two parts. This place was mainly for disciples from collateral branches to cultivate, while the direct disciples of the Haotian Sect were all on the mountain peak.

The mountain peaks are majestic and reach straight into the clouds. Looking up from here, you can't see the top of the mountain at all because it is obscured by clouds and mist. A mountain road winds its way up.

The current Haotian Sect has neither gone into seclusion nor relocated. There is a castle at the foot of the mountain, while the real Haotian Sect is on the mountain itself.

As the two entered the training ground, the eyes of the Haotian Sect's collateral disciples who were cultivating all turned to look at them. They all knew Tang Yuehua, but they didn't know the person next to her, since not everyone knew Di Hong.

"Who is that person?"

"How handsome!"

"Could he be Miss Yuehua's boyfriend?"

It was no secret in the Haotian Sect that Tang Yuehua had a boyfriend.

The two arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Looking at the mountain path that led straight to the summit, Di Hong asked, "You've been walking up from here all along?"

“Yes.” Tang Yuehua nodded.

"You're quite impressive." Di Hong looked up and said that it would take a lot of effort for a low-level Soul Master to walk from the foot of the mountain to the top, and Tang Yuehua often did it.

Tang Yuehua was speechless.

"I don't leave every day. I've rarely left the Haotian Sect since I was born. The first time I left was when I was twelve years old."

"And although I am not a Soul Master, it doesn't mean I can't even walk this short distance. Besides, I usually travel by carriage."

The mountain road was very wide, enough for three carriages to travel side by side, so Tang Yuehua basically traveled down and up the mountain by carriage.

Di Hong understood, but then he became puzzled. There was nothing wrong here, but after the Haotian Sect relocated in the future, anyone who wanted to go to the Haotian Sect would have to cross a very long iron chain. Below the iron chain was a bottomless abyss, which would be difficult for even ordinary Soul Masters to cross. She was not a Soul Master, so how did she cross it?

This made him very curious.

Could it be that Tang Xiao brought her there?

"What are you thinking about?" Tang Yuehua asked, puzzled.

Di Hong shook his head: "It's nothing."

He couldn't very well say that he was wondering how Tang Yuehua had crossed that nearly 1,000-meter-long iron chain.

"Would you like to try another way of going up the mountain?" Di Hong suddenly had a whim.

"Another one?" Tang Yuehua asked, puzzled. "Which method?"

“Fly up,” Di Hong said with a smile.

Almost none of the disciples of the Clear Sky Sect can fly, but he has the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul, so flying is not a problem for him at all.

"Okay."

Tang Yuehua was also looking forward to it. In her fourteen years of life, she had never experienced the feeling of flying.

Di Hong immediately activated his Martial Soul, but this time his Vermilion Bird wings were not covered in flames; they appeared only in the form of simple feathers. If it weren't for the fact that he was now a Soul Saint and could not easily activate his Martial Soul True Body, he would have already transformed into a Vermilion Bird.

Then he squatted down in front of Tang Yuehua.

"Come on up, I'll fly you up."

Tang Yuehua was stunned for a moment, then her cheeks flushed slightly, and she gracefully climbed onto Di Hong's back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Feeling the softness on his back, Di Hong's body stiffened slightly.

To be honest, having lived two lives, this is the first time a girl has been so close to him.

Lifting Tang Yuehua's fair thighs, Zhuque flapped his wings and leaped into the air, his figure disappearing into the clouds. Tang Yuehua saw a different view for the first time, a view she had never seen before on the mountaintop.

Di Hong used his soul power to protect her, preventing her from being affected by the cold wind.

Outside the mountain gate at the summit.

Tang Hao and Tang Xiao were waiting here.

"Why aren't they here yet?" Tang Hao sat bored on the steps; he had been waiting there for an hour.

"What's the rush? It takes them time to get here from Tiandou City," Tang Xiao said calmly.

Suddenly, a beam of red light shot into the sky, and the two brothers immediately became alert. But when the red light landed not far from them, they immediately lowered their guard.

Di Hong landed steadily on the ground, and Tang Yuehua's hair on his back was perfectly in place. However, her face was flushed. This was the first time she had been so close to Di Hong. Before, in Wuhun City, when she kissed him, it was just a light touch.

Tang Hao was very displeased to see Di Hong carrying his younger sister on his back.

"Big brother, why do I feel like punching him?"
