One or two?
Xu Yuan expressed his doubts.
In mainland China today, there must be more than two dual-soul cores that complement each other's yin and yang, right?
Xu Yuan didn't know what kind of soul core Hu Jie had, but Mu Ye definitely did, and then there was his senior brother from the Body Sect, A Hengru, who also had the ability to have dual soul cores that complemented each other in Yin and Yang.
Including Lan Muzi, there's also Elder Long.
That's right, Long Yeyue has a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core. Her twin martial souls, the Light Holy Dragon and the Dark Holy Dragon, make her naturally compatible with the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core, greatly reducing the difficulty of condensing it.
"What era do you think the mainland belongs to now?" Yun Ming saw Xu Yuan's doubt and chuckled.
He and Xu Yuan popularized science.
"The previous Sea God Pavilion Master was alright, but the one before that, the Sea God Pavilion only had one Limit Douluo. There were no more than ten Limit Douluos on the continent, and only four Limit Douluos were openly recognized. The only Quasi-God was the original Pavilion Master."
A thousand years ago, during the reign of a certain Pavilion Master, there were no quasi-gods on the continent.
Three thousand years ago, during the reign of a certain Pavilion Master, there were only four Limit Douluo on the continent, belonging to the Shrek Academy, the Tang Sect, the Spirit Pagoda, and the War God Hall. It was also at that time that the War God Hall's status rose, and the four major organizations were considered to be on the same level.
Xu Yuan's eyes widened.
"Now it's a major trend. The quality of Soul Masters across the continent has improved significantly. Whether it's the top experts or the new generation of Soul Masters, they not only far surpass the previous generation, but also far surpass any era in the past ten thousand years." Yun Ming's gaze was leisurely. "It is precisely because of this that some quasi-gods believe that this era is the closest to a god, and the era with the greatest hope of a true god emerging."
After speaking, Yun Ming looked at Xu Yuan with a complicated expression.
“I used to think so too, but now I feel that the peak era of the mainland has just begun.”
Looking at Xu Yuan, Yun Ming's eyes were filled with obvious emotion.
He had to admit that Xu Yuan had surpassed him in every aspect.
Not only that, even the old tree has invested in Xu Yuan.
All of this further solidified Yunming's judgment.
"Your senior brother has accumulated enough experience. This martial soul evolution not only allowed him to break through earlier, but also added more foundation to him. The possibility of him reaching his limit within the next ten years is extremely high."
Yun Ming calculated Lan Muzi's cultivation speed and made a rough judgment.
Within ten years, the limit?
How old is Lan Muzi now?
Thirty years old.
The fluctuations brought by Lan Muzi continued for three days and three nights before gradually subsiding and the aura began to decline.
"The soul core has begun to condense."
Demonic plane.
"Yinmeng, how is it? What's the attitude of the Three Northern Kings?" Yali asked Tang Yinmeng in front of her.
Tang Yinmeng's expression was not serious; it carried a hint of a smile.
"The Northern King, one of the Three Northern Kings, has already responded."
"Oh?" Cai Yue'er looked at Tang Yinmeng and asked for more specific details.
"The King of Zhenbei said he was willing to exchange goods with us, but we needed to help him suppress the Gates of Hell."
My hand hurts, my hand hurts. I'll rest for a bit. I have two more papers to write before noon. I'll start writing as soon as my hand feels better.
Chapter 376 The Dilemma of the Prince of Zhenbei (Please subscribe!!! Adding 17 chapters)
Tang Yinmeng paused for a moment, then gave a more specific explanation.
"According to the King of Zhenbei, the pressure on the three kings of the north has now exceeded their power. Even if we don't go after them, they will come after us on their own."
So much time has passed that the surrounding overlords naturally all know about Alba's disappearance and that Alba's capital has been occupied by beings from another dimension.
During this period, the three kings of the north suffered the most.
Because they are stationed at the gates of hell, they are already under considerable pressure, and must be constantly vigilant against any invasion from hell.
Now that their rear is on fire, the three kings are completely devastated.
In particular, they themselves need Alba's support every three months.
The Gates of Hell erupt once a month, during which large numbers of creatures from Hell flood into this area.
At this time, a major purge is needed. The top forces are within the scope of the Northern Three Kings' suppression, but their numbers are too large, and each time they have to lose a large number of troops in their territories.
For this reason, they need Alba's support. The nine great demons of the imperial city are all purple-gold demons with noble bloodlines and greater strength than the three kings of the north. They are the ones Alba usually sends to support the three kings of the north.
Although there was no large army to support them, the arrival of three top-tier demons was enough to eliminate the vast majority of the invading hellish creatures in a near-massacre.
In this way, the sustainable supply of troops within the territories of the three northern kings can be barely guaranteed.
However, six months have passed, and they have experienced two waves of invasions by hellish creatures, resulting in the loss of more than 30% of their army.
This may not seem like much, but it is the result of years of suppressed stress.
They have been recruiting soldiers all year round, so that any demonic creatures in their territory that meet the requirements have already been conscripted.
In other words, a 30% loss means that it cannot be made up for in a short period of time.
Moreover, as time goes by, the total size of the army will decrease.
Moreover, if 10,000 people resist an invasion of 3,000, 1,000 people may die. If 7,000 people resist, even more people will die. As their army grows smaller and smaller and the resistance becomes more and more difficult, they will eventually be swallowed up by the hell.
Of the three kings of the North, the King of the North is the strongest, and the passage he guards is also the most stressful. The other side of the passage connects to a core area of Hell, where the reproduction of Hell creatures is several times faster than in other areas.
The reason why Hell can complete an invasion every three months is because the reproduction rate of Hell creatures far exceeds that of demon creatures.
Three months is enough time for a creature from a particular region to grow from birth into a qualified soldier.
When Alba invaded the Hell dimension, he was drawn to this characteristic of the Hell creatures, intending to conquer Hell and possess a massive Hell army to conquer other major dimensions.
Unfortunately, the appearance of the Lord of Hell caused his plans to fail and also drained his energy, significantly affecting his ability to even invade other planes.
"So, the King of Zhenbei wants us to send students to help him hunt local creatures?" Cai Yue'er concluded.
Tang Yinmeng nodded.
"Yes, the army under the command of the Prince of Zhenbei suffered the most heavy losses, especially since his planning was not very good."
Although he was the strongest of the three kings of the North, he was not the best at governing.
Under his command, there was no intense fighting, but as a result, not enough strong individuals were born. Although he was able to recruit a lot of demon soldiers every year, the proportion of low-level demons was extremely high, and the number of stronger demons was very small.
In the past, the King of Zhenbei would deliberately sacrifice his low-level demon soldiers in exchange for the survival of his higher-level soldiers.
However, after two waves of resistance, too many of his senior soldiers died.
He had a harder time recovering than the other two overlords.
“That makes perfect sense, but we still have to be careful. After all, the King of Zhenbei is Alba’s subordinate, and since he was able to become a great demon, he must have the bloodline bestowed by Alba.” Cai Yue’er gave a hint after thinking for a while.
"We are not yet clear about the characteristics of the Demon Lord's bloodline. If it can be taken back at any time and has absolute bloodline suppression, then our cooperation with the King of Zhenbei may lead to a situation where we are betrayed."
Even if the current King of Zhenbei is genuinely cooperating, if Alba gives the order, the King of Zhenbei could very well abandon the Gates of Hell and leave the mess to Shrek Academy.
“It is still very necessary to make contact with them. Just like you said, Elder Cai, we don’t know enough about the high-level secrets of the demon race. These are areas that ordinary demon creatures cannot access. If we want to know more, we can only make contact with great demons like the King of Zhenbei, or even with the real demon lords.” Ya Li’s words were also agreed upon by Cai Yue’er.
Indeed, it is necessary to make contact in order to better understand the intelligence.
"Actually, there's also Hell. They're not necessarily our enemies. Perhaps we could try to make contact with them."
“In that case, let’s make contact with the King of Zhenbei for now and learn about the situation in Hell through him. If we have the chance, we should also make contact with the higher-ups in Hell.” Cai Yue’er said, “I’ll inform Zhuo Shi and ask him to take some time to visit the King of Zhenbei’s city.”
The world is still searching for opportunities across the map.
"Yinmeng, you need to maintain contact with the Demon King of the North and the Chaotic King of the North to find out their attitudes."
"Yes."
After Tang Yinmeng finished speaking, she didn't leave; instead, she looked conflicted.
Seeing this, Yali smiled.
"Don't worry, Mu Zi's battle armor has been upgraded. We received news that his martial soul has evolved successfully and he has begun to condense his soul core. Everything is fine."
Hearing that Lan Muzi was alright, Tang Yinmeng breathed a sigh of relief, her face flushing slightly, and she quickly took her leave.
Shrek City.
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Finally home."
He has been away from home for more than a month.
As they spent more and more time in the Demon Plane, the students of the Inner Academy gradually adapted to the energy of heaven and earth here.
Especially after the meridians in the body have been tempered by the energy of heaven and earth here, they will not suffer major damage from absorbing the energy of heaven and earth around them.
However, there will still be scratches.
According to Ya Li's estimation, it would take at least twenty or thirty refinements for the meridians to fully adapt to the energy of heaven and earth here.
But that will take at least a few years.
Therefore, many students in the inner academy returned to the academy to borrow a mecha in order to improve efficiency.
