—------------------—
Everything is back on track. Time flies on Douluo Continent, and five years have passed in a flash.
In the direction of the Heavenly Palace's headquarters, a huge six-colored thunderstorm stretched across the universe, and dark clouds filled the sky and the earth. The residents of half of Mingdu were clearly visible.
"Hey, look! The divine calamity has arrived again. Our Sun-Moon Empire is about to give birth to another powerful person who will become a god at level 100."
"Great! Just two years ago we saw the thunder tribulation of Master Xu from the Xuanming Sect. Who would have thought that two years later, another top-tier expert would be about to break through to the Limit Douluo realm. This commotion is even bigger than Master Xu's. Let's go and take a look."
"Let's go together..."
No matter what time it is, watching the excitement is always the instinct of many people, and the people of Douluo Continent are no exception. Many soul masters and soul instructors will go to watch the scene in groups of three or five when they see the thunder tribulation.
Jing Hongchen came out of the newly built Mingde Hall, took a closer look, and then took off on his way. "I didn't expect that the person who will survive this tribulation is her."
"Yes, she is considered the first soul beast master to become a god, even faster than Di Tian."
Xiao Hongchen followed beside Jing Hongchen, his face much more mature, and he hugged his chest, looking unfathomable. "Hehe, I'm kind of looking forward to becoming a god myself and competing with her."
Five years ago, he was a Super Douluo. In the past five years, he has almost advanced one level every year, emitting the genuine fluctuations of a level 99 Extreme Douluo.
This is a level of terror that the Sun-Moon Empire had never dared to imagine before.
As for Young Master Xiao, he certainly has lofty ambitions. He wants to go further and further, and has already started to take part in the Three-legged Golden Toad Divine Test, and is nearly halfway through.
Jing Hongchen stroked his beard and chuckled, then glanced at Xiao Hongchen, "Forget it, Meng can easily deal with you now. Your grandfather, if I want to go to the God Realm and enjoy a peaceful life, I have to rely on her."
"...Grandpa, you can't say that."
Xiao Hongchen opened his mouth and thought of a perfect excuse to be stubborn. "It's obvious that there is no one in the God Realm worthy of my first-level godhood. Old Xu Ke said that godhood can't determine everything."
"As long as I am willing to practice hard, it is not impossible to rival a first-level god. Everything depends on my own efforts."
"Tsk, you were watching Meng survive the tribulation in the outer space a year ago. You, the Red Dust Family's number one genius, are now a thing of the past."
Jing Hongchen curled his lips, and the corners of his mouth turned up. He was smiling all the time. He was not as anxious as the other people who were on the road, because he had seen it once.
To this day, he has deeply understood a truth: momentary happiness is nothing, and the final results of one's life determine everything.
Despite enjoying the benefits of the Douluo Star's plane upgrade, he still only has a soul power of level ninety-six, and is just a small level ten soul engineer, but his grandchildren are very proud of him.
He is now managing Mingde Hall and will pass the position to Xiao Hongchen in the future. He will enjoy his retirement in the Sun and Moon Empire, and then go to the God Realm to experience eternal life. Life is endlessly beautiful.
Unlike Master Kong, who practiced hard for his own pride, he almost transformed from a soul engineer into a pure soul master in the past five years. He spared no effort to improve his soul power because he really saw that breaking through the limit Douluo would allow him to become an eleventh-level soul engineer, and he wanted to pave the way for future generations.
Jing Hongchen admitted that his talent in soul guides was much inferior to that of Mr. Kong, so he would not compete with him for the title of pioneer.
All of this started from outer space. Kong Deming went "crazy" after observing the giant star array. He saw a brand new door with fatal attraction.
"Old man, I find that you are the most useless in our Hongchen family." Seeing Jing Hongchen daydreaming, Xiao Hongchen curled the corners of his mouth and severely criticized Jing Hongchen's lazy mentality.
"What are you talking about, you little bastard? Do you want a beating?" Jing Hongchen's eyes instantly flashed with anger.
"Hehe, old man, you are no longer the same as before. You can't catch up with me..." Xiao Hongchen turned into golden light and disappeared in a flash.
"Stop right there, you little bastard, you traitor, you traitor..."
Jing Hongchen was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring, chasing stars and the moon, and was determined to bring Xiao Hongchen to justice.
The two of them chased each other and soon flew ahead of all the masters of the Sun and Moon Empire. Even Ye Yulin stopped and watched the show.
The internal strife within the Hongchen family is no less fun than a top master going through a tribulation.
"Your Majesty, is that the Three-legged Golden Toad Laughing at the Red Dust, the second-youngest Level 10 Soul Master in the history of our Sun-Moon Empire, who was suppressed by a True God for over a decade?"
A newly promoted eighth-level soul engineer spoke. He had a big white beard and thought that he would never be able to become an eighth-level soul engineer in this lifetime. Unexpectedly, the plane was upgraded, giving him an opportunity to break through.
"Yes, that kid has been dishonest since he was a child. In that generation, no one except the True God and Sword God Douluo could make him behave himself."
Ye Yulin chuckled and instructed the younger generation with the attitude of a master, his face full of nostalgia and smiles.
At a glance, more than two-thirds of the seven, eight, and nine soul mentors here have white hair. They are all new masters who have been promoted by the dividends of the times.
The plane upgrade has set off a wave of powerful version updates, and the results have begun to show after five years.
In Xu Tianxi's words, this is called a great change in heaven and earth. The cultivation environment has improved and the suppression of practitioners has been relaxed. Now is the best era, and it will get better and better in the future.
Those who were previously stuck at a level and unable to improve now had the opportunity to break through. Veteran ninth-level soul masters like Ye Yulin, Jing Hongchen, Liao Mengkai, and Luan Feng all became Super Douluo and found their own path to becoming tenth-level soul masters. The development of the Sun-Moon Empire ushered in a blowout period.
There is no doubt that these people will leave a strong mark in the history books in the future, and future generations will always remember them as the earliest batch of tenth-level soul masters.
…
When many soul guide masters arrived at the Heavenly Palace's headquarters, an energetic old man was already waiting at the door, welcoming everyone in with a smile.
Seeing this person, great soul guide masters like Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin also changed their expressions and stepped forward to greet him, "Old Yue, why are you here? Just rest at home."
The matchmaker, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, was wearing an old military uniform. He returned the greeting with a bow, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "No, no, no, I'm always busy as an old man. I need to do something."
In the back, a newly promoted ninth-level soul engineer was somewhat puzzled and asked curiously, "Although this old man is also a ninth-level soul engineer with profound cultivation, there shouldn't be any reason why two tenth-level soul engineer seniors should respect him so much, right?"
Many people couldn't help but nod their heads. The gap between a tenth-level soul engineer and a ninth-level soul engineer was huge, like a chasm.
Xiao Hongchen glanced back at him and said calmly, "This is the guide on the path to becoming a True Divine Soul Instructor. He came to the Heavenly Court with the Xuanming Sect. At that time, he was only a seventh-level half-soul instructor, and his potential had been exhausted."
"Hiss~" The newly promoted ninth-level soul instructor and many new masters took a breath of cold air. It's no wonder that he is the true god who guides the way.
Xiao Hongchen continued, "With his talent, it would have been impossible for him to advance to the ninth level of soul master. However, the True God, remembering the past, personally channeled the tide of life and the energy of heaven and earth to cleanse his bones and muscles."
"Ah..." Everyone was stunned. This was such a great opportunity.
"Finally, the True God used divine blood to cleanse his bones and muscles, allowing him to be reborn. Combined with a full set of six soul bones, this is how he became a ninth-level soul engineer and a ninety-fourth-level cultivation..."
Xiao Hongchen calmly told Yue Lao about his incredible opportunity. He had no hope of becoming a ninth-level soul mentor in his lifetime, but was forcibly lifted up.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a group of eighth and ninth level soul masters flew out like the wind, surrounding Yue Lao, Jing Hongchen, and Ye Yulin in three circles inside and three circles outside, calling them more affectionately than the other.
Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen snorted, shook his head and walked inside.
A group of guys who are crazy about progress, the Sun and Moon Empire is really thriving in a sense.
…
After the little episode, everyone got to observe the grand spectacle of the tribulation up close as they wished. The Xue Di was wearing a long white dress that dragged in the sky, holding an imperial sword in her hand, slashing out cold light from the starry sky, and confronting the six-colored tribulation head-on.
Thunder struck her, causing Xue Di's body to sway. She was not feeling very relaxed, but her beautiful face still showed an iron-like determination. Her icy-blue eyes contained excitement, desire, and infinite joy, but no fear.
Di Tian, Xiong Jun and others were dazzled by what they saw. For the first time, they felt that this damn heavenly calamity was not so scary. The path to becoming a god was the dream of so many soul beasts!
Xiao Hongchen was different from others. He did not look at Xue Di. Instead, he slipped towards Xuanming Sect at a speed that no one could match. When he was still about ten meters away from Xu Xiaoyun, he greeted him from a distance.
"Old man, you're in great health. Haha, I haven't seen you for half a year, and you look several years younger..."
Xu Xiaoyun was also very happy with Xiao Hongchen, the well-behaved child. He walked over and pulled him over to watch the fun and talked about the cultivation path to becoming a god, which inadvertently made many soul masters angry.
He truly deserves to be the second genius of the Sun-Moon Empire!
Xiao Hongchen ignored them. After chatting with Xu Xiaoyun for a while, he greeted Xiao Changfeng, Xu Fu and others. Soon he found people of the same generation and joked about their cultivation.
"Brother Ma Rulong, you just broke through level ninety-five. Come on and catch up with my grandfather. I'm rooting for you."
"Old Ji, you're level ninety-seven now. You're really fast, but don't mess around. I don't want to fight you today. Let's just watch the show."
"Yo yo yo, Sanshi, you're practicing quite fast, you're also a Limit Douluo. It's a pity that your speed is slower than mine. You need to speed up."
"Hey, Sister Gu Yi, you've become younger recently, and Xiao Wu Tian is about to awaken his martial spirit. Do you miss your uncle?"
Xiao Hongchen spoke to different people according to their circumstances. When he saw Ye Guyi, who was dressed as a young woman and was walking towards him with a little boy of five years old, he quickly fixed his eyes on the little boy and called him "Xiao Wutan", obviously with a very intimate look.
"Think about it, Uncle Xiao, how long do you think it will take me to catch up with you?"
Xiao Wutan has thick black hair and clear eyes with a golden glow. He looks like a delicate piece of jade. Although he is still a child, he is already a smart kid with a strong desire to pursue happiness in the world.
Dad said that Uncle Xiao always liked to be arrogant and he would be hit for no reason.
The smile on Xiao Hongchen's face froze for the first time. He coughed twice and said, "Well, when you reach Uncle Xiao's age, maybe you'll be able to catch up with me."
As God is my witness, if another child had acted so arrogantly in front of him, he would have definitely sneered.
But he really didn't dare to be arrogant towards the little Wutan in front of him.
From his name, we can tell how much hope his father has for him, and he is destined to become a god in the future.
However, Xiao Wutian seemed a little unsatisfied, "Ah? Will it take that long?"
Xiao Hongchen: "..."
I can't beat your parents, I endure it, I endure it, I won't argue with a child...
Ye Guyi watched with a smile. It was rare for Xiao Hongchen to be humiliated.
At this time, a light voice came, "Maybe it won't take that long. If you work hard, your father will be able to catch up with him when he is my age."
Xiao Wutian was immediately delighted and shouted, "Dad!"
"Well, Xiao Wutian is really good."
The young man smiled, touched Xiao Wutan's head, hugged the graceful and plump Ye Guyi, and finally looked at Xiao Hongchen with some disgust in his eyes.
"Your sister has been wandering the continent for a year, comprehending the Seven Emotions. How come you haven't been able to trigger the Divine Tribulation yet, Lao Xiao? You need to speed up."
Xiao Hongchen: "..."
Isn't this what I said to Xu Sanshi?
"...You actually came out of seclusion? The Heavenly Refining you mentioned has been completed?" Xiao Hongchen took the initiative to change the subject and not talk about such a terrible thing as cultivation.
"It's done." Xu Tianxi nodded lightly and said with a smile:
"It's rare to find some time to research. From now on, our Douluo Continent's battle armor will enter the four-character battle armor stage."
"Even if time permits, a true god-level expert can cultivate a four-character battle armor into a five-character battle armor, or even a six-character battle armor, which is no less than a divine armor."
"What about your cultivation?" Ye Guyi looked carefully and found that he could not see through Xu Tianxi again.
Sure enough, suppressing him is only temporary, and being suppressed by him in return is a long-term event.
Xu Tianxi turned his head and chuckled, "Let's keep this a secret for now. Let's discuss other things first."
