Chapter 63 of the First Person
"And the battle armor! The Spirit Pagoda will help us upgrade the battle armor of all Title Douluo-level powerhouses to three-word battle armor. But they have one condition..."
Upon hearing that they could wear three-word battle armor, the eyes of the group of Title Douluo-level powerhouses lit up. Three-word battle armor is great! Three-word battle armor is wonderful! They wanted to wear three-word battle armor too!
"Big brother! Tell us quickly, what are your conditions! As long as they're not too outrageous, we'll agree to them," Yuanen Zhentian's third brother eagerly answered.
Seeing the eager looks on his people's faces, Yuan Enzhen nodded. It was time!
"The Spirit Pagoda wants our entire clan to move to the vicinity of the Spirit Pagoda. They will provide a place for my clansmen to settle down. I just don't know what everyone else thinks..."
Before Yuanen Zhentian could finish speaking, the other high-ranking members immediately got up to inform their relatives and friends to move. After all, their Yuanen clan didn't have any property in these deep mountains and forests; moving to the Spirit Pagoda was no big deal!
No one can disturb them from living their good lives!
Upon seeing that his clansmen were about to mobilize the entire clan to move, Yuanen Zhentian quickly stopped them.
"Wait! Wait! Everyone, there's one last thing! The Spirit Pagoda needs the corpses of the demon race from back then. Send some people to the battlefield to see if there are any corpses left!"
Yuan Entian frowned and said unhappily, "Father! Why are you still digging up those beasts' corpses! We still have a lot of work to do!"
Hearing the reluctance in Yuanen Tianshang's words, Yuanen Zhentian chuckled. His next sentence immediately excited Yuanen Tianshang.
"One corpse is worth 100,000 Federal Credits. Or, collect ten corpses to exchange for the qualification to enter the Spirit Ascension Tower!"
Yuan Enzhen used his soul power to amplify his voice, transmitting his words to the ears of all his clansmen.
The clansmen, who hadn't taken it seriously before, immediately became agitated upon hearing Yuanen Zhentian's words.
What?! The corpses of those beasts are actually worth so much?
The high-ranking officers, still in flight, immediately changed direction and flew towards the battlefield of yesteryear. Why not take advantage of this free opportunity? Although they still wished they could tear those demons' corpses to shreds, they had no choice; the Yuanen clan was terrified of poverty.
As Titan Giant Ape martial souls, these high-ranking members are all experts at finding the corpses buried underground years ago.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The sounds echoed throughout the entire clan territory.
Yuan Enzhen floated in the air, looking down at his people who were struggling to control the earth element, almost turning the entire earth upside down. He nodded in satisfaction.
It's been a long time since I've seen my people so energetic.
"found it!"
"I found it too!"
"Holy crap, how did it all break?"
Thanks to the Spirit Pagoda's financial power, the demon corpses buried underground by the aftershocks of the battle between the Yuanen clan's powerful members were quickly unearthed one by one.
What's frustrating is that many of the corpses are scattered everywhere. I wonder if the Spirit Pagoda will still accept them.
Chapter 118 The Chaotic Star Luo Continent
"Father, it's all broken! What should we do? Should we send it to the Spirit Pagoda?"
Yuan Entianshang, carrying several pieces of demon corpses, anxiously searched for his father. Although he loathed the demon race, who would turn down money?
Seeing the dismembered corpses of demons, so tattered they couldn't even be pieced back together, Yuanen Tianshang felt a pang of heartache. This was all the money of their Yuanen clan!
Yuan Enzhentian took one of the sacred relics left behind by the demon race. After examining it for a while, he took out his soul-guided communicator, took a picture, and sent it to Qian Gu Dongfeng. After receiving a reply, he tossed it to his son.
“It’s alright! The Spirit Pagoda said they’ll accept even dismembered corpses. And…” At this point, Yuanen Zhentian glanced around and transmitted his soul power to his son.
"Tian Shang, what level of designer are you? Tell me quickly what metals you need and then design your own three-word battle armor. I'll have the Spirit Pagoda forge your battle armor first."
Yuan Entianshang nodded excitedly. It had to be his own father! He always thought of him when it came to good things.
Watching Yuan Entianshang excitedly go down to dig a hole again, Yuan Enzhentian sighed with a complicated expression.
He hadn't been this happy in a long time since Yuan Entianshang's wife died.
Sigh! My second son is doing well now, but I wonder how my eldest son is doing!
The entire Yuanen family was filled with joy. Everyone in the family knew that they were going to live a good life at the Spirit Pagoda, and therefore everyone agreed with the proposal to move.
In a dark corner of a wooden cabin, in stark contrast to the joyful atmosphere of the entire tribe, a long-haired, unshaven man with lifeless eyes stares out the window.
The joyful atmosphere outside only intensified his shame and longing. He felt ashamed that his family had caused his clan to suffer that catastrophe, and he missed his wife and daughter.
I wonder how Ye Hui is doing now. But her father sent her to Shrek Academy, so she should be doing better there than in her clan.
Yuanen Zhentian and his son Yuanen Tianshang walked slowly to the outside of this secluded wooden house, and he sighed deeply.
"Tian Dang! We misjudged Shrek back then! Ye Hui has had a terrible time at Shrek all these years! If you're still a man, still a father, pull yourself together. Ye Hui is still waiting for you, and your wife's spirit in heaven would also want you to pull yourself together and take good care of your daughter."
"Big brother! Look at these photos. This is Ye Hui's life at Shrek Academy. Even I, as his uncle, can't stand it anymore. You, as his father, will only be more furious than I am."
Yuan Entianshang took out the printed photo and used his soul power to send it through the open window to Yuan Entiandang.
Yuan Entian, who had already perked up upon hearing his daughter's name, took the photo.
Looking at the house above, which was even more dilapidated than the wooden hut she was living in now, and at the photos of Yuan Enhui eating meals with only a little meat, and of her sweeping the square at night.
Yuan Entian felt his blood rush to his head, and his previously lifeless eyes were immediately filled with pain and anger.
What a joke! His own precious daughter! Living this kind of life at Shrek Academy. If he had known it would turn out like this, he wouldn't have begged his father to send Ye Hui to Shrek.
This isn't learning, it's just asking for trouble!
"Who! Who treated my daughter like this! I'll cripple him! Cripple him!!!" Yuan Entian roared and kicked the door open.
Seeing their elder brother's murderous intent, Yuanen Tianshang and Yuanen Zhentian exchanged a surprised glance. Was this effect a little too good?
"Damn Shrek Academy, they must be after Ye Hui's beauty. First, they'll try to cut off her cultivation resources, then they'll have their Shrek members play the hero and rescue her, and finally, they'll try to seduce my daughter..."
As he spoke, the killing intent in Yuan Entian's eyes grew stronger, and intense fluctuations of soul power emanated from his body.
The thought of his daughter ultimately having to submit to those scoundrels from Shrek made him want to tear them to pieces.
Yuan Enzhentian did not cripple his son's cultivation back then, but chose to seal him away.
It was discovered that Yuan Entiandang was about to break the seal. Yuan Enzhentian and Yuan Entianshang flashed behind Yuan Entiandang and gave him a powerful dunk.
"You unfilial son! You have to eat one bite at a time. Now that you've broken the seal, do you even want your meridians anymore?" Yuanen Zhentian looked at Yuanen Tiandang with exasperation.
My eldest son must have become a bit slow-witted over the years. He hasn't cultivated for many years, and then he was suddenly overwhelmed by a large amount of soul power, plus his body hasn't been nourished in recent years.
If Yuan Entian had broken the seal just now, at best his meridians would have been damaged, and at worst his meridians would have been severed, leaving him a cripple.
Yuanen Zhentian was still cursing and swearing, but Yuanen Tianshang's eyes were already red.
He rubbed his eyes and looked happily at his father: "Father! No matter what, my elder brother has at least pulled himself together again. I think some of the medicinal herbs the Spirit Pagoda gave us can nourish his body. Plus the family's collection, it won't be long before we see that spirited Sky-Piercing Douluo again."
Hearing Yuanen Tianshang's words, Yuanen Zhentian nodded, his eyes slightly red: "Alright! Tianshang, take your elder brother and clean him up. Look at the mess he's made of, what a disgrace!"
Yuan Entian smiled, took his elder brother and led him to his house to wash up.
Yuan En flew towards the family treasury, intending to collect all the family's treasures first. This time, the forging of the battle armor couldn't be entirely funded by the Spirit Pagoda; the Yuan En clan also needed to contribute.
Only when both major forces make contributions can the relationship last longer.
Spirit Pagoda Headquarters
Qian Gu Dongfeng hummed a little tune happily. Under his and his nephew's leadership, the Spirit Pagoda had finally completed another major event.
The Yuanen clan, possessing the Limit Douluo level, joined their Spirit Pagoda en masse.
Thinking of this, Qian Gu Dongfeng could already imagine how future generations would evaluate him. Presumably, his great achievements would rank him among the most outstanding of all the tower masters throughout history.
Moreover, the powerful members of the Yuanen clan came just in time to relieve Qian Gu Dongfeng's urgent crisis. The fighting force led by the Dragon Carving Douluo Feng Wuyai went to support the Blood God Legion.
With the addition of the Yuanen clan, the combat power of the Title Douluo in their Spirit Pagoda has become abundant again.
Furthermore, Zhang Geyang needed to go into seclusion for intensive training. The Star Luo Continent Spirit Pagoda branch just happened to need a powerful expert to guard it. Yuan Enzhentian, the Limit Douluo, arrived at the perfect time.
When he, as a Limit Douluo, stands there, the Star Luo Empire will see the strength of their Spirit Pagoda and will be even more eager to win them over.
Under pressure from the Federation, their Spirit Pagoda has recently squeezed a lot of money out of the Star Luo Royal Family.
It was only then that Qian Gu Dong Feng realized how incredibly wealthy the Xingluo royal family was! Not only was the royal family rich, but the nobles and counts were also rolling in money.
In addition, those nobles needed the Spirit Pagoda's help, and every now and then they had to spend a lot of money and resources to please them.
Some wanted the Spirit Pagoda to support the Star Luo Empire, some wanted their families to join the Spirit Pagoda, and others wanted to be opportunists and prepare for both possibilities.
Upon learning of the situation, Qian Gu Dong Feng immediately decided to demonstrate their tradition of using spirit towers, accepting all resources and money offered.
Chapter 119 Dai Tianling Wants a Marriage Alliance
Rather than letting the Federation take away the money from the Star Luo Continent, it would be better to let them use it to benefit society through the Spirit Pagoda.
"I wonder when the Federation plans to attack the Star Luo Continent!" Qian Gu Dongfeng turned his chair and looked curiously out the window. Others might not know, but Qian Gu Dongfeng certainly did.
While there have been various theories about who the biggest financial backer of the Green Skull cult in the Star Luo Continent is, Qian Gu Dong Feng knows that it is some members of the Federation who have been secretly sponsoring those evil soul masters.
"The lowest of the low are the lowest of the low, they can't be brought to the table." Qian Gu Dong Feng sneered disdainfully. "Once this matter is over, I'll replace those disobedient councilors. Then they'll naturally understand the good intentions of the major powers and follow me on my own."
Xingluo Continent
Zhang Geyang clicked his tongue in amazement as he looked at the recent financial statements of their Star Luo branch's Spirit Pagoda. These old-fashioned pests really do have money!
The oil they've extracted during this period alone is almost equal to the money their Star Luo Spirit Pagoda has earned in a year.
He had to keep squeezing them dry! Zhang Geyang had been holding back, afraid of draining these nobles dry. But seeing how wealthy they were now, he realized he had underestimated them.
As for whether the other party would resort to desperate measures after receiving payment but not fulfilling their obligations, Zhang Geyang didn't care at all. According to Qian Gu Dongfeng, the Spirit Pagoda would send a Limit Douluo and several Title Douluos to strengthen its defenses in a while.
With this Limit Douluo by his side, Zhang Geyang was no longer worried and could focus on cultivating and breaking through his limits.
While Zhang Geyang's days were filled with increasing hope, the Xingluo royal family was shrouded in gloom.
Although he tried his best to win over the Spirit Pagoda, the pagoda had been taking the money but hadn't responded at all. They also didn't care at all about the title he offered.
Not only has the relationship with the Spirit Pagoda not improved, but for some unknown reason, the Tang Sect has recently reduced its support for their Star Luo Empire.
Adding to the troubles is the Green Skull organization, which has suddenly become rampant recently. Dai Tianling is having a splitting headache every day because of these things.
With powerful enemies eyeing him from the outside and a bunch of incompetent teammates and rebels on the inside, Dai Tianling only regretted not being a Limit Douluo.
If he becomes a Limit Douluo, how dare those nobles make those underhanded moves?
Upon hearing the mention of Limit Douluo, Dai Tianling let out a long sigh. Their Star Luo Empire also had a second Limit Douluo. However, that Qilin Douluo had been in a slump ever since due to some events from back then.
Dai Tianling could only pray that the Federation would not start a war during his reign, otherwise he would be branded as a ruler who would bring about the downfall of his country.
"Father! What are you doing!"
