Douluo: A Century-old Legend I Am the Second Uncle Chenxin

Chen Yu paused, his brows revealing dissatisfaction and excitement: "Both sides are overlord-level superpowers. Although the Spirit Hall has an advantage in high-end military power, the Heaven Dou Empire, after all, commands hundreds of millions of people and manages such a vast territory."

"Why can the Spirit Hall be superior to the Heaven Dou Empire?"

His words were like a cold sword, piercing people's hearts.

Chen Xiaojun frowned and asked thoughtfully: "What do you mean?"

"In fact," Chen Yu said, "whether it is the upper three sects or the lower four sects, their noble status and position are all granted by the two great empires, and are more legitimate."

Chen Xiaojun's eyes widened, obviously a little surprised: "Even the lower four sects were canonized by the empire?"

Chen Yu and Chen Cong looked at Chen Xiaojun with surprise in their eyes.

Chen Xiaojun felt a little uncomfortable with this sudden gaze. He touched his head and asked in confusion: "Grandpa, Second Uncle, what's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like this?"

Chen Cong turned to Chen Yu and said thoughtfully: "It seems that Xiao Jun does not have a deep enough understanding of the soul master forces in the current soul master world."

Chen Yu replied angrily: "It's not that it's not deep enough, but that there is an extreme lack of understanding."

When Chen Xiaojun heard this, his expression froze. He bowed deeply to Chen Yu and Chen Cong and said sincerely, "That's true. This is also the result of my deep reflection over the past two days."

"This world of soul masters is too vast and complex. My previous understanding was too superficial. I never thought that the Tianlang Sect would dare to openly retaliate against me. This made me realize my ignorance."

"I originally wanted to ask you two elders for advice, hoping to get more guidance."

Chen Xiaojun continued, "Grandpa, Second Uncle, my previous understanding of the power of soul masters was limited to the phrase 'the upper three sects and the lower four sects'."

Chen Cong and Chen Yu looked at each other, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.

Chen Cong coughed and said, "Well, this is indeed our mistake."

"Xiao Jun, do you know why the lower four sects are as famous as the upper three sects?"

Chen Xiaojun shook his head and answered respectfully: "My grandson doesn't know, please teach me, second uncle."

Chen Cong explained: "The reason why the lower four sects are as famous as the upper three sects is because they are not inferior to the upper three sects in terms of strength, reputation and heritage."

"Aren't they beings of the same level, put together for fun?"

Chen Xiaojun was surprised when he heard this and exclaimed, "The four lower sects of Xiangjia Sect are so powerful that they can be compared with the three upper sects?"

Chen Cong showed a surprised expression: "Who said that the Xiangjia Sect is one of the lower four sects? Although the Xiangjia Sect is the best among the middle-level sects, it is still far behind the upper three sects and the lower four sects."

He paused, and continued, "Do you know why we looked at you strangely just now? Because the Lower Four Sects were actually sealed by the Xingluo Empire."

Chen Xiaojun suddenly realized: "Ah, so it was the Xingluo Empire that conferred the title. No wonder grandpa said before that it was conferred by the two great empires. I'm sorry I didn't react and got it confused."

Chen Yu took over the conversation: "That's right, after the Tiandou Empire closed down the three major sects, the Xingluo Empire was unwilling to lag behind and closed down the four major sects."

"These sects not only have strong strength to pass the sect competition, but also have made great contributions to the two empires, so they were canonized."

"The enfeoffment of the great sects is a recognition and support from the two empires for these sects. At the same time, they also grant them certain privileges. For example, these sects have their own cities and lands."

Chen Cong added: "It should be noted that the two empires named themselves great sects, and the so-called upper and lower distinctions were added later by the spirit master community. The upper and lower here refer to the difference in geographical location, not the difference in strength or status."

Chen Yu immediately continued, "Well, this upper and lower actually refers to the upper and lower two and a half continents where the two great empires are located."

Chen Xiaojun heard this and thought to himself, "This is similar to the theory of the southern and northern hemispheres of Blue Star. Regardless of whether this world is a self-evolution of Douluo One or a parallel space, the fact that the Xiangjia Sect was able to rise to become one of the four lower sects in the future may be due to some huge changes that happened in the past hundred years."

Out of curiosity, he couldn't help but ask, "So, which four sects are these?"

Chen Cong took over the conversation and continued, "The upper three sects gradually developed from existing sects and are representatives of modern sects, but the lower four sects are different. They are closer to the ancient ancient sect model and were established at the initiative of the Xing Luo Empire."

"The Xing Luo Empire's initiative?" Chen Xiaojun raised his eyebrows, showing great interest.

"That's right." Chen Cong nodded affirmatively, "Do you still remember Douluo Qi Xin, whom we talked about before? About 2500 years ago, there was a catastrophe in which the human race was invaded by alien races and surging beasts. The scene was a river of blood and it was horrible to watch. This also led to the replacement of the two empires and the restart of the calendar."

Chen Xiaojun pondered for a moment, "What does this have to do with the lower four sects?"

"It's of great importance." Chen Cong explained in detail, "The terrain of the Xingluo Empire is different from that of the Tiandou Empire. Its hinterland is mostly plains and hills."

"The Xieluo Mountains and the Xingdou Great Forest are the continental boundaries. Most of the Eastern Great Rift Valley is within the Xingluo Empire, and the Hundred Thousand Mountains are located in the southwest of the continent. All of them are within the Xingluo Empire. These three mountains and one forest are the largest gathering place for land soul beasts."

"During that catastrophe, the beast tide faced by the Xingluo Empire was actually more severe than that of the Tiandou Empire, sweeping in from all directions."

He paused for a moment and continued, "At that critical moment, the then Xingluo royal family, the Xu family, invited heroes from all over the world to jointly resist the surging beast tide."

"Many soul masters responded to the call. They gathered according to the model of the ancient sects, combining multiple top-level martial souls of the same type to form a powerful martial soul collection."

"These sects gathered from the four directions of Xingluo, namely the southeast, northwest, and northeast, to fight against the beast tide coming from the three mountains and one forest. They successfully withstood and eventually counterattacked that surging offensive."

"For example, the leader of the four lower sects, the prestigious Great Ape Sect," Chen Cong began to narrate. His gestures rose and fell with his words, as if he was outlining a magnificent picture of martial spirits.

"This is a powerful sect formed by the gathering of many ape-like martial spirits, and the most shocking of them is undoubtedly the Titan Giant Ape, the strongest martial spirit."

Chen Xiaojun was stunned when he heard this. He slowly put down the teacup in his hand, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "The Titan Ape, the King of the Forest? Doesn't this have the same martial spirit as the legendary soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Chen Cong nodded and said affirmatively: "That's right, it's exactly the same as the mighty Titan Ape in the Star Dou Great Forest. Moreover, the Great Ape Sect also gathers top martial spirits such as the Earth Fire Dragon Ape, the Psychic White Ape, and the Fighting Spirit Ape."

He suddenly remembered something and added, "Oh, by the way, the powerful gorilla Tai family in the Haotian Sect, who is famous for its strength, actually originated from the Great Ape Sect."

Speaking of this, Chen Cong's eyes were full of inexplicable spirit, "The Shiwan Mountains, where the mountains are rolling and the tropical rainforests are dense and lush. The ape-like soul masters of the Great Ape Sect are like fish in water in that vast forest. They are agile and good at flying over the eaves and walls between the treetops and jumping freely."
