Chapter 186 Oh no, I'm going to become a traitor to humanity.
Chapter 186 Oh no, I'm going to become a traitor to humanity.
Looking at the two people snuggling together intimately on the other side, a guess that even she herself found extremely absurd suddenly popped into her mind.
Huo Yuhao had previously stated that a soul contract must be made with the consent of the soul beast itself.
If the Spirit Pagoda wants to promote the new system of spirit spirits throughout the entire soul master world, it must reach some kind of consensus with the rulers of the soul beast faction.
In today's world of spirit beasts, aside from the powerful sea spirit beasts that mainly operate in the deep sea, the strongest force recognized on land is undoubtedly the Star Dou Great Forest.
It is said that the incomparably powerful Beast God Di Tian is merely the representative of the most mysterious Soul Beast Lord in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Here comes the problem.
Even if the so-called soul contract can truly alleviate the conflict between humans and soul beasts.
But it's enough for Di Tian, as the spokesperson, to handle this matter.
Even if Huo Yuhao is special, his martial soul is only the Ice Dragon Martial Soul of Ultimate Ice, and in terms of bloodline level, it is at most similar to Di Tian.
Besides, he is ultimately just a human. Could there be some other place that could attract the legendary Lord of Soul Beasts to personally appear in the human world?
For a long time, I felt my head was getting increasingly swollen from thinking about it.
Perhaps I'm just overthinking it; is Gu Yuena really the so-called ruler of all soul beasts?
Before Xu Jiujiu could delve deeper into her thoughts, Gu Yuena's gaze had already fallen on the Soul Guidance Screen.
The terrifying aura emanating from that stone curved blade was gradually receding, returning to its ordinary state.
She said softly, "We can settle the matter you promised me when we get back. Let's deal with the 'Dragon Slayer Blade' issue first."
Towards the end, Gu Yuena's voice clearly carried a hint of annoyance.
She slept in the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest for more than ten thousand years, completely unaware that the Dragon Slayer Blade, which disappeared without a trace after the Great War of the Gods, had been left behind on the Douluo Continent all along.
She was, after all, the other half of the Dragon God, so it was understandable that she had no feeling for this divine artifact formed from the Dragon God's own horns.
What frustrated her even more was that she couldn't detect the exact location of the dragon cemetery, which contained the heart of the dragon god and was of great importance to her.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuena's gaze returned to Huo Yuhao, who was shocked by the mention of the Dragon Slayer Blade. A strange look appeared in her amethyst-like eyes.
Perhaps before long, the consciousness of the Douluo Continent will, through various seemingly coincidental accidents, deliver this Dragon Slayer Blade to Huo Yuhao, just like it did today, and also send over the exact location of the Dragon Clan's cemetery.
Seeing that Gu Yuena didn't seem to intend to pursue the matter further, Huo Yuhao secretly breathed a sigh of relief and casually replied, going along with her words:
"This is an auction house. Since it's important, we can just bid for it. There's no need to go through any more trouble."
After listening to their conversation for a long time, especially Gu Yuena's use of the term "Dragon-Slaying Blade," his expression became more serious, and he spoke softly:
"My brother specifically instructed me before the auction started that if you, Yuhao, are interested in this last item, I can make the decision to give it to you directly."
If Gu Yuena hadn't suddenly appeared, she might have continued to use this excuse to tease Huo Yuhao, and perhaps even got to taste some delicious food.
But now, faced with a mysterious being whose strength is unfathomable, Xu Jiujiu wisely chose a more prudent approach.
She paused, a perfectly timed look of confusion on her face:
"I've always been curious why the ancient senior called it the 'Dragon Slayer Blade'? This meteorite from outer space has been in existence for thousands of years since it was obtained by our Star Crown Sect's ancestor."
After countless tests, we can only deduce that it actually appeared on the Douluo Continent much earlier than we imagined.
But aside from testing its violent reaction to creatures with dragon blood, nothing else was discovered. Furthermore, the power it unleashed was indiscriminate, making it completely unusable.
Now, hearing Gu Yuena's unusually knowledgeable expression, Xu Jiujiu was naturally very curious.
Upon hearing Xu Jiujiu's tentative words, Huo Yuhao's eyes flickered, and he looked curiously at Gu Yuena beside him.
During their last conversation, Gu Yuena only briefly mentioned the existence of the Dragon Slayer Blade, and he didn't know anything about this divine weapon.
Meeting Huo Yuhao's inquiring gaze, Gu Yuena slightly adjusted her posture, leaning more comfortably and closely against him before her slightly ethereal voice continued to echo in the room.
"The Dragon Slayer Blade is a divine weapon personally crafted by the Dragon God using his own dragon horns. In other words, it is the magic blade of the dragon race."
Among the nine dragon kings of the ancient dragon race, the Light Dragon King was in charge of punishments. Therefore, this dragon-slaying sword was always in the hands of the Light Dragon King in ancient times, used to supervise and restrain the entire dragon race.
But remember, the Dragon Slayer Blade is not a dragon-slaying weapon; it only slays sinful dragons. Without exception, all dragons who have fallen to its blade were true dragons who had committed grave sins.
At this point, Gu Yuena fell silent again, as if she was reorganizing her thoughts, before speaking again after a while.
"One of the functions of the Divine Realm Council is to supervise all the gods in the Divine Realm. However, among the true dragons that fell under the Dragon Slayer Blade, there were quite a few who already possessed divine positions."
Just as I told you last time, although the Dragon God is the lord of the dragon race and the king of divine beasts, his behavior of bypassing the Divine Realm Committee to directly judge the gods has ultimately aroused the suspicion and dissatisfaction of the Divine Realm Committee.
Of course, it's also possible that even after slaying those sinful dragons, the seeds of divinity within them would still be under the control of the Dragon God and wouldn't return to the divine realm itself.
As Gu Yuena calmly recounted these ancient secrets that were enough to overturn the entire continent's understanding, Xu Jiujiu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Originally, she only guessed that Gu Yuena might be the legendary ruler of the soul beasts, but now in her heart, this guess is almost certain.
Aside from being an ancient being who has truly lived for so long, there is absolutely no other reason to explain why she is so knowledgeable about these ancient secrets, and even able to recount them in detail.
After all, the profession of Soul Master has only existed in history for tens of thousands of years.
Their Star Crown Sect is an ancient sect with a history of tens of thousands of years, but the relevant records about the period when humans were ruled by soul beasts hundreds of thousands of years ago are still very vague.
The sect's records only briefly state that the original ruler of all soul beasts was named the Dragon God, and that he had nine Dragon Kings under his command.
As for why the powerful Dragon God and Dragon King ultimately perished, and what their connection was with the God Realm, it's completely unknown. We can only guess that an unbearable and terrifying calamity occurred.
However, it was precisely because of the fall of the Dragon God that humanity was able to rise from the cracks and create the era of Soul Masters.
Thinking of this, Xu Jiu stared at the two people leaning intimately together, becoming increasingly nervous.
Oh no, am I going to become a traitor to humanity today?
After Gu Yuena obtained the so-called Dragon Slayer Blade, her strength increased greatly.
When that time comes, will the power of the soul beasts once again suppress humanity, plunging the continent back into that dark era?
Seeing that Xu Jiujiu's body was obviously stiff, Gu Yuena just glanced at her and understood what she was thinking.
She didn't intend to explain too much, but simply turned her gaze back to Huo Yuhao beside her, who was deep in thought, and spoke softly:
"The greatest use of the Dragon Slayer Blade for you right now is that it can be used to hone your skills with the Golden Dragon Spear, sharpening each other and making them both even sharper."
As for the resentment of those fallen dragon souls attached to it, to me, they are more harmful than beneficial.
After a short period of time, which was enough for about half a cup of tea to finish the presentation, Auctioneer Wan'er's melodious voice rang out again through the Soul Guidance Screen:
"Distinguished guests, you have surely witnessed its extraordinary qualities. Now, we will give you ten minutes to rest and prepare. In ten minutes, our final and most anticipated auction will officially begin."
She paused briefly, then emphasized her words, quoting a price that would make most people faint on the spot:
"The starting bid is ten level-eight soul tools from Mingde Hall or a 30,000-year-old rare and precious herb."
Upon hearing this, almost all the VIPs in the VIP room gasped in shock.
The previous level-eight soul tool, "Heaven-Opening Earth-Opening Cannon," which was not from Mingde Hall, had already fetched a high price of seven million gold soul coins.
The total value of the ten level-eight soul tools produced by Mingde Hall, which represents the highest level of soul tools on the mainland, can undoubtedly easily exceed one hundred million gold soul coins.
As for rare and precious materials that are over 30,000 years old, their value is immeasurable.
Just like soul beasts ranging from 10,000 to 90,000 years old, although they are all generally referred to as 10,000-year soul beasts, in reality, 30,000 years, 50,000 years, and 70,000 years are all huge thresholds.
The same applies to rare and precious herbs; after reaching a certain threshold in age, their medicinal effects increase exponentially. Once they reach 100,000 years, they can be considered true immortal herbs.
A rare and precious plant that is 30,000 years old is undoubtedly a strategic treasure that any major power would keep under its belt.
It can be used to cultivate a promising genius, or to extend the life of an elderly Title Douluo for a sect or country, making it of extraordinary significance.
As Wan'er's voice faded, the image on the soul guide screen changed, leaving only the image of the Dragon Slayer Blade, magnified countless times, silently floating and slowly rotating in the center of the screen.
Meanwhile, in the VIP room of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
Compared to his dejected and dispirited appearance more than ten days ago, Xiao Hongchen has now regained the aloofness that belongs only to geniuses.
He stood before the soul-guided screen, his gaze fixed intently on the Dragon-Slaying Blade, and spoke:
"Elder Ma, you must bring this back to Mingde Hall. As the chief of Mingde Hall and a level nine soul master, you couldn't possibly be unaware of its potential."
If we could use it as the core material, creating a level ten soul tool would no longer be a dream. If my grandfather were here, he would definitely do everything in his power to bring it back to the Empire.
Old Ma frowned slightly; he could certainly see the value of this item.
Rather, anything related to dragons is never simple.
Like the silver dragon that the Sun Moon Empire managed to hunt down more than three thousand years ago, even today, the silver dragon scales that it left behind cannot be used directly by Jing Hongchen, the current head of Mingde Hall. They must be approved by the highest level of the royal family.
This demonstrates the rarity and strategic significance of Dragon materials.
But Mr. Ma had more to consider.
The auction house specifically requires bidders to bring out level-eight soul tools from Mingde Hall to participate in the bidding, which makes the process quite complicated.
The Sun Moon Empire has always exercised the strictest control over high-level soul tools originating from Mingde Hall, and very few finished products ever flow into the other three kingdoms of Douluo Continent.
The Starlight Auction House's demand was clearly a calculated move, specifically targeting their Mingde Hall.
Thinking of this, Old Ma said in a deep voice:
"Xiao Hongchen, come back and sit down. This Starlight Auction House is clearly targeting us. I need to think this through carefully. If we make a mistake and violate the Empire's rules, we'll both be in deep trouble."
"So what if it's an open conspiracy?"
Xiao Hongchen stared intently at the Dragon-Slaying Blade. "Then we won't go through the academy's accounts. Our Hongchen family will bid for this item ourselves. If anything goes wrong, I, Xiao Hongchen, will take full responsibility."
As a self-proclaimed genius soul master, and having been personally taught by his grandfather, Xiao Hongchen naturally sees things that ordinary people cannot.
Why hasn't the Sun Moon Empire been able to develop a true level 10 soul tool to this day? Besides technological bottlenecks, the biggest limitation remains materials.
The rare metals currently found cannot meet the stringent requirements for making a level 10 soul tool.
The characteristics exhibited by this dragon-slaying sword are undoubtedly astonishing.
More importantly, as a Soul Master with the bloodline of the divine beast Three-Legged Golden Toad, he could clearly feel the intense tremors deep within his bloodline the moment the Dragon Slayer Blade unleashed its dragon might.
This undoubtedly proves that this material possesses truly divine properties.
Using it to create, it's possible that not only level 10 soul tools, but even level 11 and 12 tools could become a reality!
Seeing her older brother's confident and determined demeanor, Meng Hongchen's lips twitched slightly, but in the end, she didn't expose her brother's little scheme.
