—------------------—
Du Bu Si stayed behind to help Chen Ming conquer and garrison Nanyuan Province.
The two Super Douluo elders also stayed.
The remaining three Titled Douluo and Chen Ming left with more than a dozen prisoners and set off on their journey home.
They returned along the same route, circled around the sea on the south side of the Mingdou Mountains, entered the territory of the Xingluo Empire, and then traveled all the way back to the southeast forest.
At this point, the journey of the sun and the moon has come to an end.
"There are still eight level nine fixed-type soul guide shells left. Keep one in each of the five eastern provinces and Black Dragon City as a deterrent."
During the looting of the armory, Chen Ming did not let go of any soul guide cannons, including the fixed-type soul guide cannons. Unfortunately, he only found a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannon, which had been left in Nanyuan Province.
In addition, there are seven eighth-level fixed-type soul guide cannons. Although it is a bit difficult to fire the ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannons, at least they can be fired.
In addition, there were many ordinary ninth-level soul guide cannons, which were also distributed by him.
These soul guides are more or less of research value. Chen Ming allowed the ancestor of the Tiansheng Sect to study them under the condition of taking protective measures to see if they could give him some inspiration.
Chen Ming also left him the drawings and books on related soul guides that he had obtained from killing the three great soul guide families.
Now the ancestor of the Tiansheng Sect is considered the highest-level soul engineer in the Samsara Empire, but he is only level seven, which is still a bit low. Chen Ming hopes that he can become an eighth-level soul engineer as soon as possible.
We don't ask him to become a ninth-level soul engineer, but at least he should be an eighth-level one.
It's not that he is required to make an eighth-level soul guide, but he is required to have the ability to inspect an eighth-level soul guide.
Good, check the eighth-level soul guide.
Because the more than ten people Chen Ming captured this time were exactly the soul mentors of Mingde Hall, including five eighth-level soul mentors, eight seventh-level soul mentors, and several students who were with them at the time.
"Chen Ming, I didn't expect you to be so ambitious that you actually want to build a new empire and annex the entire continent."
Among the soul guides captured by Chen Ming, a bald old man spoke in a cold voice.
His name is Wang Tianba. He has some connection with the Sun and Moon royal families. To be more specific, he has some collateral bloodline. He is also an eighth-level soul mentor. With his background and abilities, he has considerable power in Mingde Hall.
As he possesses some collateral blood of the Sun and Moon royal family and has benefited from it, Wang Tianba is of course firm in his stance.
After witnessing the arrangements made by Chen Ming and others, he was very disdainful.
"The so-called Samsara Empire, which has no foundation at all, actually wants to replace the four great empires and rule the entire continent."
Wang Tianba acted as if he could die at no big deal, and was not afraid at all that Chen Ming would kill him. His words were blunt and full of sarcasm.
Chen Ming was not angry when he heard this.
"You don't need to know whether I can succeed or not. Since I have captured you, you should just listen to my orders and work hard for me. This way, you can continue to enjoy your life of researching soul guides."
"Do you think we are cowards?" Wang Tianba shouted, not afraid of death at all.
Chen Ming looked at all the captives and found that most of them had an unyielding expression.
"Don't worry, I won't bury your talents."
Chen Ming looked at one of the eighth-level soul masters who was the least hostile to him, and said, "Xuan Ziwen, what do you think?"
Xuan Ziwen was stunned for a moment when Chen Ming asked him this. It was obvious that he didn't seem to care about the argument between Wang Tianba and Chen Ming just now.
"You have all entered Mingde Hall. No matter how firm your stance is in the Sun and Moon faction, one thing remains unchanged, and that is your love for soul guides."
If you are not keen on researching soul guides, there is actually no need to spend so much effort to stay in Mingde Hall. You can just leave Mingde Hall, dominate a region outside, and enjoy support.
If you are too profit-oriented, it will be difficult to survive in Mingde Hall, because the atmosphere in Mingde Hall is really scary and full of research atmosphere.
Those who were able to join Mingde Hall in the early years and have persisted until now cannot help but be passionate about soul guides.
"There is a prerequisite for loving soul guides, and that is that we are from the Sun-Moon Empire!" Wang Tianba interrupted.
Chen Ming turned around and looked at Wang Tianba.
This man's loyalty to the Sun-Moon Empire is truly unwavering.
Ignoring Wang Tianba, Chen Ming looked at Xuan Ziwen and said, "Xuan Ziwen, I know you. Among the soul guides in Mingde Hall, you are one of the best in the research and development of civilian soul guides."
Xuan Ziwen frowned.
Did he choose me among everyone because he thought I was the most likely to betray you?
Anyone would have a rebellious mentality in such an environment, and Xuan Ziwen was of course instinctively resisting working for Chen Ming.
Chen Ming understood Xuan Ziwen's reaction. He did not make empty promises for Xuan Ziwen, but took him and other soul mentors to the beach.
The eyes of Xuan Ziwen and others became dull.
What did they see?
A large soul guide device is parked here. The overall appearance is extremely exquisite, and a large number of soul guide components are very perfect.
The most important thing is that this soul guide has nothing to do with combat and it doesn't seem to be used for combat.
"What's this?"
Xuan Ziwen walked forward and touched the soul guide device. From the appearance alone, he could not see any problems with the connection of the soul guide lines. Everything was very smooth.
"I call it a soul-guided plane. As for its function, it can fly, of course. Unlike flying soul-guided devices, my soul-guided plane only needs to be fully charged, and can be operated by ordinary people. The soul-guided plane itself has a balance mechanism. In addition, it can fly for a long time. It is not a problem to fly from the easternmost end of the continent where we are now to Mingdu of the Sun-Moon Empire and return. It will not take more than five hours."
Xuan Ziwen's eyes became hot as he looked at the soul-guided plane, soon revealing an obsessive look.
The other soul masters who were stopped by Chen Ming in the back were also a little excited.
They looked at this soul-guided plane as if they saw a new continent.
"Soul-guided aircraft is a soul-guided technology that I have already realized. Of course, there are still many technologies that need to be optimized, so I need your help. In addition to soul-guided aircraft, I also have the concept of soul-guided cars and soul-guided giant ships. I wonder if you are interested?"
"In addition to travel, there are many directions for the popularization of civilian soul guides."
Chen Ming's words aroused the thoughts of many people.
Among them, the soul engineers who are in the same department as Xuan Ziwen and are very interested in the popularization of soul guides for civilian use are all eagerly looking at them.
Their resistance to Chen Ming has been reduced to the lowest level.
Because this civilian soul guide is not a war item after all, and will not cause harm to the Sun-Moon Empire, they can help Chen Ming with research without any burden.
Xuan Ziwen no longer had his initial resistance. At this moment, he was just impressed by the fantastic concepts proposed by Chen Ming, especially the soul-guided aircraft technology that had been realized in front of him.
Chen Ming showed too much sincerity.
