Douluo: The True Eye

Chapter 100: Lingering Sunset Glow

“Oh? Yuhao, is what you’re saying true?” Du Bu Si had just finished organizing the theoretical materials written by Huo Yuhao and instructed Great Elder Jin Peng to arrange things, not even having had a sip of water.

He then received this exciting news from Huo Yuhao. Although the Body Sect had been exploring the ocean and hunting sea soul beasts for generations,

this had successfully led to the discovery of many islands and unique sea areas, but these islands and sea areas lacked long-term development value.

However, because the Body Sect itself had a small number of people, they seemed weak and isolated. Therefore, what they had explored over the years was only the tip of the iceberg in the vast ocean.

Although there were some rumors collected from various sources, none were as detailed and convincing as what Huo Yuhao said.

And it was precisely because of this that they chose to ally with the Heaven Dou Empire. Although the upper echelons of the Heaven Dou Empire were not strong, they possessed the power of an empire and a large population.

“A completely new continent, if it’s really as you say, Yuhao, and the information was gleaned from the memories of that hundred-thousand-year-old Mirage Dragon, then its accuracy is likely to be very high.”

In the study, Du Bu Si paced back and forth. After learning this news, even he was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

A completely new continent meant a completely new ecological environment and unknown new resources, which would definitely greatly promote the current Body Sect's ability to climb to new heights.

However, the benefits and risks coexist, just like the collision between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent back then.

The former Sun Moon Continent has now been renamed the Douluo Continent, but the original inhabitants of the Douluo Continent have also been greatly impacted by the soul tools of the Sun Moon Empire.

So, does another new continent have indigenous people? What is the strength of those indigenous people? How strong is their established cultivation civilization?

This raises the question of what attitude should be adopted when facing them. Is it peaceful diplomatic relations? Or a military attack? Or plundering resources? Or colonial rule? These are all things that Du Bu Si is now considering.

Although he was old and cunning, Du Bu Si appeared extremely shrewd in some matters, but Du Bu Si himself was not a brainy person, and he had no clue about matters of state or political power.

Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Du Bu Si said to Huo Yuhao, “This matter is of great importance. Those resource points in the ocean are not important. It is enough to entrust them to the disciples in the sect to develop for a long time.”

“As for this new continent.” Du Bu Si sighed, “It’s not something that our Body Sect alone can handle. I still need to discuss the specific details with the emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire.”

“With the support of the Heaven Dou Empire, our Body Sect can maximize the benefits from this continent.”

“After all, our Body Sect is ultimately just a sect. In terms of overall operational experience, it is far inferior to an empire with a long heritage.”

“However, now that our Body Sect is the guardian sect of the Heaven Dou Empire, we can be considered to share honor and disgrace.”

“Moreover, with the current foundation of the Heaven Dou Empire’s royal family, they must rely on our Body Sect to have the support of high-end combat power.”

Du Bu Si said, squinting his eyes. Huo Yuhao nodded upon hearing this, then skipped over the topic and said, “Besides this matter, this disciple has another matter to report to Master.”

“After absorbing the sixth soul ring, this disciple’s soul power has broken through level sixty-four, but it will be difficult to make progress in the short term. Therefore, this disciple wants to leave the sect and go out to train, and hopes that Master will grant permission.”

Du Bu Si raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean? Could it be that the disciples in the sect are not enough for you to test your skills?”

“If you, Yuhao, look down on the strength of those disciples, then there are also deacons and elders above the deacons in our Body Sect.”

“If that’s not enough, there are still Old Jin and your master, the two Super Douluos. With your current cultivation and methods, although you can be considered a strong person compared to ordinary people,”

“compared to those truly powerful forces with a foundation, you are still far from enough. How could I let you go out to train alone?”

“Even those so-called reputable sects, like their Shrek Academy, have done a lot of shameful things in secret.”

“Damn it, they have killed many hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest, and they have completely and cleanly shifted the blame for several beast tides onto our Body Sect.”

“Tell me, what is the real reason you want to go out? Don’t bullshit me!” Du Bu Si’s face stiffened, looking much more serious, and even the swear words that he rarely said in front of Huo Yuhao appeared.

Huo Yuhao smiled awkwardly and quickly said, “The main reason is that even if this disciple says it, this disciple is afraid that Master will not believe it.”

“Although this disciple’s trip is indeed not for training, this disciple’s reason for wanting to leave the sect this time is indeed well-considered.”

“Whether or not I believe it is my business, as for you, Yuhao, just say it.” Du Bu Si waved his hand and said directly.

Then, Huo Yuhao said a set of words that he had already thought of: “Previously, when hunting for the fourth soul ring in the Star Dou Forest, this disciple happened to encounter a strangely extraordinary soul beast, and then…”

Huo Yuhao, after some embellishment, roughly told Du Bu Si about seventy to eighty percent of the process of his previous encounter with the Emperor Rui Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

As for how he escaped and some key details, Huo Yuhao did not explain in detail.

Although many details in Huo Yuhao’s words were vague, Du Bu Si did not delve into the root of the matter.

After all, he also understood that everyone has their own secrets in their hearts, and many of the opportunities encountered by geniuses like Huo Yuhao are difficult to explain in detail to outsiders.

But even so, the news released by Huo Yuhao at this time was enough to shock Du Bu Si: “Emperor Rui Beast… So that’s how it is, no wonder.”

The saying of auspiciousness, compared to the soul beast race, humans actually value it more and believe it more.

After all, compared to the soul beast race, which is suffering from the heavens, although humans are short-lived, the luck brought by those so-called auspicious beasts will be more obvious in them.

Creatures like the Golden Hawksbill Turtle are only respected by turtle-type Soul Beasts, while other Soul Beasts generally regard them indifferently.

After all, while the Golden Hawksbill Turtle possesses deep fortune, it cannot protect others, making it useless to other Soul Beasts.

However, for humans, encountering auspicious beasts like the Golden Hawksbill Turtle is considered a stroke of good luck that is hard to come by.

If, by chance, they can obtain their Soul Rings or Soul Bones, human Soul Masters can gain added fortune, making their path of cultivation smooth and unobstructed.

After all, compared to the long lifespans of Soul Beasts, human lifespans are short, but precisely because of this, the power of fortune can blaze like cooking oil over a roaring fire, blooming and erupting brilliantly.

It is because of this that the concept of auspicious omens is widely circulated in the human world, and even the Body Sect's records contain only a few mentions of Emperor Auspicious Beasts.

This is because their appearance is too rare, and the chances of seeing them are too few. The records mostly mention that they are Emperor-level Soul Beasts with noble fortune.

"So, after that, Yuhao, you will have a certain ability to sense and influence the existence of fortune in the dark?" Du Busi asked with some skepticism.

After all, although the concept of auspicious omens is prevalent in the human world, the so-called fortune is indeed ethereal, yet people cannot help but believe in it.

Huo Yuhao nodded in affirmation and then reported several special time nodes: "Disciple discovered that our Body Sect's fortune experienced significant fluctuations during these time nodes."

"However, Disciple also used a portion of the fortune acquired from previous contact with the auspicious beast to stabilize our Body Sect's fortune."

The appearance of these time nodes mentioned by Huo Yuhao indeed cleared Du Busi's doubts and made him believe what Huo Yuhao said.

This is because the time nodes Huo Yuhao mentioned were the key moments when he led the Body Sect in plotting against the Mingde Hall.

And it was precisely because of this that he felt surprised, because some things he couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.

Moreover, apart from those who personally experienced these events, let alone Huo Yuhao, who has always been in the sect, even I haven't told him about these things. Even the Great Elder Jin Peng only knows a rough outline of the matter.

"Amazing, amazing... Our Body Sect is really going to prosper this time, hahaha, may the ancestors bless us, may the heavens open their eyes!"

'Immeasurable talent, cultivation aptitude that is hard to come by in ten thousand years, plus the power of vast fortune..." Du Busi couldn't help but think.

'This is truly heaven helping my Body Sect! With such a young sect master, who can stop the rise of my Body Sect? Who would dare to stop it!'

However, Du Busi then asked with some nervousness: "Then Yuhao, do you know where the so-called opportunity for fortune interaction that you mentioned is located?"

"Are there any dangers involved? Do you need your teacher to go with you to help?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao pretended to think for a moment and then said: "If Master is willing to go with me, that would naturally be for the best. In that case, Disciple's confidence can also be greatly increased."

In fact, Huo Yuhao had already thought about it before coming here to report to Du Busi that it would be best to bring Du Busi along on this trip.

After all, the place he was going to next would also be of great benefit to Du Busi, so Du Busi would naturally have to contribute.

"But Master, what about the New Continent matter?"

Hearing Huo Yuhao's words, Du Busi frowned slightly, then his brow relaxed, and he laughed loudly, saying: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just leave everything to Lao Jin, just leave it to Lao Jin."

At this time, Jin Peng had already completed the overall planning of a series of matters in the sect and distributed the latest revised cultivation methods to the disciples, but he had not had time to rest.

He is still working late into the night, writing letters in his study to contact and stabilize the emotions of the allies who have formed an alliance with the Body Sect.

Because of Du Busi's previous request, Jin Peng united the forces and sects in the Heaven Dou Empire with the ability to research Soul Tools to form an alliance.

However, although the alliance has been reached, Du Busi, as the nominal leader, has repeatedly postponed meeting with everyone for various reasons, thus causing dissatisfaction among many forces.

And the matter of looting the Mingde Hall can only be known by the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family, so these dissatisfactions can only be handled by Jin Peng, who is the initiator.

After all, if it were really up to Du Busi's temper to handle it, the entire alliance would probably be disbanded on the spot.

To be precise, it should be that Du Busi alone would tear it to pieces, after all, Du Busi is not a good-tempered person.

However, Jin Peng couldn't help but sneeze at this time, but logically speaking, as a Super Douluo, he should have long been immune to all diseases, but for some reason, Jin Peng now has a feeling of chills running down his spine.

And the fact was indeed as Jin Peng felt. Early the next morning, he received an order from the absentee shopkeeper Du Busi through other elders, which seemed to have been issued before he left yesterday.

Thinking of the large pile of things that had not yet been dealt with, and the sect master who had already left, Jin Peng could only sigh helplessly and continue to devote himself to his busy work.

Speaking of Du Busi, he took Huo Yuhao all the way to the Sunset Forest located in the Heaven Dou Empire.

This place originally belonged to the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire, and with the separation of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, this Soul Master habitat was divided into the territory of the Heaven Dou Empire.

However, times have changed. The current Sunset Forest is no longer the glory it once was ten thousand years ago. The setting sun casts its afterglow on this Soul Beast habitat, which is very lonely.

In today's Sunset Forest, it is even difficult to find Soul Beasts at the ten-thousand-year level.

Feeling this forest that seems to be dying, Du Busi frowned slightly: "Yuhao, are you sure you didn't sense it wrong? This broken place doesn't even have ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts, how could there be any opportunity here?"

"Even if the place of opportunity you mentioned, Yuhao, is the Star Dou Great Forest, I might be more inclined to believe it."

Huo Yuhao nodded firmly and said: "Disciple believes in his own abilities. I think it must be here."

"That's easy. Let's take a look deeper. Even if there's nothing, just consider it as accompanying you out to relax."

After saying that, Du Busi took Huo Yuhao and flew deeper into the Sunset Forest again.
