Chapter 159 Dealing with the Mysterious Heavenly Treasure Record
Two days later, after the four of them had absorbed the soul bones and immortal herbs, their strength had all increased significantly.
Yang Ping'an's soul power increased to level 57, his physical attributes improved significantly, and there seemed to be a trace of dragon aura in his bloodline. Even the originally dark Soul-Breaking Spear began to turn a blood-red color, so it should perhaps be called the Dragon Soul Spear.
After absorbing the immortal herbs and soul bones, Dugu Yan's soul power increased to level 55. However, Dugu Yan's martial soul had evolved into the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, and the toxicity on her body was even more powerful. She should no longer have any problems cultivating to the title of Douluo. In fact, even the poison of her martial soul had been completely removed, turning into the toxicity of her own body.
Niu Meng's physical attributes seem to have improved the most among everyone. During the process of consuming the immortal herb, his entire body seemed to crackle, and his limbs became thicker and stronger. In particular, his skin turned almost bronze, and his soul power also increased by 5 levels, now reaching level 50.
Finally, there's Yang Tianyue. As a girl, her physical abilities are considerably weaker than others, but after absorbing this Black Jade Divine Bamboo, her physical strength seems to have increased significantly. Her Soul-Breaking Spear has become sharper and even more resilient. Her soul power has increased by six levels, and she's now at level forty-seven.
The effects were particularly noticeable after the four absorbed the soul bones. Yang Tianyue's head soul bone was the most valuable, and her mental strength was now quite good. Although she was only a Soul Master, she had already reached the level of a Soul Emperor.
Amidst their pleasant surprise, everyone else left the secret room, leaving only Yang Podi, Yang Wudi, Yang Wushuang, Yang Zhentian (father), Niu Gao (grandfather), and Poison Douluo. The rest of them needed to consider matters related to family decisions.
Grandpa Yang Wudi seemed to have thought of something and spoke up directly: "Old Rhino, what do you think will happen to Tang Hao? He clearly has very serious injuries, and he also used the exploding ring. I'm afraid these have exceeded the limits of his physical abilities. He might just die."
Before his maternal grandfather Niu Gao could speak, Yang Podi spoke first: "Grandpa, you underestimate Tang Hao. Tang Hao is indeed injured, but don't forget that his ninth spirit ring is a 100,000-year spirit ring. In addition, his entire body is probably filled with high-age spirit bones that are over 50,000 years old, and he even has two of the spirit bones inherited from the Clear Sky Sect. This injury should not be a problem."
"Besides, if Tang Hao is really seriously injured, he can simply escape back to the Haotian Sect. The current sect leader, Tang Xiao, is his elder brother; how could he not help him?"
"Moreover, back when Tang Hao had just entered the Title Douluo realm, he was able to kill Qian Xunji, who possessed the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and he defeated three Title Douluos single-handedly. His strength was truly astounding."
After thinking for a moment, Yang Wudi nodded slightly: "That's right. This time, the Spirit Hall mobilized seven Title Douluos to face Tang Hao, but Tang Hao still managed to escape, which is quite strange."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi remained silent and pondered in silence.
The Spirit Hall's performance was simply a disaster. Although Tang Hao escaped, he was clearly seriously injured. If they had sent a flying Title Douluo or an agility-type Title Douluo to relentlessly pursue and kill him, without giving Tang Hao a chance to recover, it would have been a miracle if Tang Hao hadn't died.
As a result, after the Spirit Hall's great battle, they didn't even take any action, let alone pursue or kill them; they simply let the tiger return to the mountain.
After a brief discussion, Yang Wudi addressed his grandson, "Podi, what should we do now? Should the whole family really move to Mount Almo?"
Yang Podi nodded: "Of course we have to move, and as soon as possible, preferably within a year. All personnel should be moved to Almo Mountain, the Tiandou City headquarters, with at most one elder left to guard it."
Grandpa Niu Gao also seemed very puzzled: "Is it really that urgent? Isn't it a bit too fast? There's nothing on Mount Almo right now; we might have to build everything from scratch."
Yang Podi shook his head: "It's not a question of whether we're fast or slow now; the situation is already very strange. Take the finals of the Soul Master Competition, for example. With the Spirit Hall's strength, they could have easily captured Tang Hao, but from beginning to end, they didn't display any particularly high combat power. Even Pope Bibi Dong—have you ever seen her use a 100,000-year soul ring skill or a soul bone skill?"
"Right now, the entire Spirit Hall is clearly holding back. The day they stop holding back will mean that the world is about to change."
Poison Douluo seemed a little doubtful: "Little monster, aren't you exaggerating? Although the Spirit Hall is powerful, it's probably not that strong yet."
Yang Podi glanced at Poison Douluo: "Grandpa Dugu, things aren't calculated that way. If the Spirit Hall sends a large number of Soul Masters, plus seven Title Douluos, with four going to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and three to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, do you think those two families will still have a chance to survive?"
"Especially Bibi Dong, in terms of strength, is definitely stronger than Sword Douluo, but this time she didn't even leave a single Tang Hao behind, which is obviously something she is hiding."
Grandpa Yang Wudi seemed to have thought of something and quickly spoke up: "Then what about the final battle between me and Old Rhino against Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo? With such strength, how could the Spirit Hall agree to this final battle?"
Yang Podi smiled slightly: "The Spirit Hall is eager for this decisive battle. In fact, their request is very simple: they just want our two families to show their attitude."
"Anyway, it's not that easy for anyone to die in a decisive battle between Title Douluos. After a decisive battle, at worst, we can let the two Title Douluos recuperate for a while."
"Especially our Po clan, which is too close to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, only a few hundred kilometers away. At the speed of my two grandfathers, it would probably only take them an hour or two to get there. If they want to attack the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they will definitely try to stop us from interfering."
"They'd love to see us move to Mount Almo. You see, right now we're only dealing with Yu Yuanzhen, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo. But if our two families get involved, plus the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's assistance, then it'll be much harder for them."
Grandpa thought for a moment and then continued, "Our Po clan has indeed accumulated a lot over the years, but if we build a new clan territory, especially in the Almo Mountains, the cost will be enormous. It might even drain most of our savings from the last ten years."
Yang Podi simply smiled, then took out several books from his person—the six secret manuals he had obtained from Tang San.
Yang Wudi seemed slightly puzzled: "Didn't you say we should cultivate with caution using these books? Why are you taking them out now?"
Yang Podi looked at the books and said, "Grandpa, these aren't just books, they're all money."
Yang Wudi seemed to understand a little: "You mean to sell these books? But wouldn't that be too conspicuous?"
Yang Podi shook his head: "These books certainly can't be auctioned off in a grand manner. However, my plan is to print dozens of copies of five of the secret techniques, and then you, Dad, will personally take Shi Nian to every black market across the continent, selling one copy in each black market. Based on the value of these five secret techniques, each copy could easily fetch 500,000 or even 1 million gold coins. So how much would that add up to?"
After a moment's thought, the group was immediately shocked: "At your rate of sale, these manuals will probably spread throughout the entire continent very soon. And in that case, you can earn at least hundreds of millions of gold soul coins, since these five manuals are all very good."
Grandpa Niu Gao hesitated a bit: "Do we really have to pass on all these secret manuals? If we do, I'm afraid we won't have much of an advantage in the future. Even if we keep the Xuan Tian Gong you mentioned, the gap will only get smaller and smaller in the future."
"Grandpa, how could the gap be getting smaller? On the contrary, with our unique Xuan Tian Gong, the gap will only get bigger, since only we can cultivate this secret technique to a higher level."
"However, this matter is of great importance at the moment. At this stage, only core disciples who are absolutely trusted can cultivate it. After three to five years, we can secretly sell the first few levels of the Xuan Tian Gong, while keeping the later levels separately. In any case, we will be able to maintain our advantage."
Yang Zhentian, the father, was still a little puzzled: "Why do I have to go with Shi Nian? I can go alone, and it's more convenient for me to do things by myself."
Yang Podi smiled wickedly: "Dad, Shi Nian is the key to this trip. Use Shi Nian's martial spirit to find a way to pretend to be a traitor of the Haotian Sect and sell all these secret manuals. That way, even if someone tracks us down later, they won't be able to find us."
Yang Zhentian was still somewhat puzzled: "A traitor to the Haotian Sect? Is that even feasible?"
"That's certainly feasible. We'll have to hide our tracks throughout the process, and we might even need to cover our entire bodies. We can just reveal our Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul when we have a conflict with the other party during a few transactions. We can leave some ambiguous clues and let them investigate on their own."
"By then, these manuals will probably end up in the hands of the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. With their combined strength, they will naturally be able to trace the clues we left behind back to the Clear Sky Sect. We can leave the rest to them and not interfere anymore."
"Besides, during this process, both our families were making grand preparations for the trip to Mount Almo, so who would suspect us?"
Grandpa Niu Gao was still a little puzzled: "What good will this do? It seems like it's still harming others without benefiting oneself."
Yang Podi couldn't help but rub his forehead. What kind of intelligence did his group have? He had explained things so clearly, yet they still didn't understand.
Finally, Yang Podi reluctantly asked, "Grandpa, if you were the Spirit Hall or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, what would you think upon receiving these messages?"
"These secret manuals can enhance the close combat strength of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters. The Clear Sky Sect actually possesses such a secret technique. This will exacerbate the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, allowing us to take the opportunity to distance ourselves and develop independently."
"Anyway, the more chaotic the world is right now, the better. The more chaotic it is, the more time we have to cultivate and improve ourselves. When Ping An and the others also reach the title of Douluo, we will have more than ten titled Douluo. We won't need to be at the mercy of others anymore. Whether it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, we can easily crush them."
After thinking for a while, everyone's eyes finally turned to Poison Douluo, making Dugu Bo a little embarrassed.
Grandpa Yang Wudi asked directly, "Old Poisoner, are you coming with us to Mount Almo?"
Dugu Bo seemed a little embarrassed: "I also want to go, but I owe Prince Xuexing a favor. It wouldn't be good to leave rashly. You know my personality. I can't leave until I repay this favor."
At this moment, Yang Podi suddenly spoke up: "Grandpa Dugu, isn't it just a favor? I reckon you can repay it soon."
Dugu Bo seemed slightly puzzled: "Prince Xuexing values this favor very much, and I'm afraid he won't use it casually."
Yang Podi spoke slowly, "Of course I wouldn't do it for others, not even for myself, but for his good nephew, Prince Xue Beng, I'm afraid I'll have to use your favor."
