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

Chen Congmei continued to describe with great excitement: "The Eastern Great Rift Valley in the east of Xingluo is a forbidden area shrouded by negative heaven and earth soul energy. There, dark, netherworld, and shadow soul beasts are rampant. They lurk in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike."

"As for the Light Sect that is fighting against them, their strongest martial spirit is the Light Phoenix that stands out from the crowd. It flaps its wings and flies high, radiating light. There are also top martial spirits such as the Holy Light Unicorn and the Light Goddess Butterfly, which shine brightly like stars."

He paused and continued, "At that time, in the north of Xing Luo, the beast tide from the Xing Dou Great Forest surged in and swept southward. On land, the Xuan Ye Pavilion, one of the three super neutral organizations, fought bloody battles in Xuan Ye City of the Dark Night Country and successfully withstood the fierce attack of the beast tide."

“However, when the aquatic soul beasts of the Daling River, the first river on the continent that originates from the Xingdou Great Forest, swam downstream, Xuanye Pavilion was helpless.”

"At that time, the Xuanming Turtle Martial Soul Titled Douluo, who possessed the bloodline of the mythical beast Xuanwu, led various aquatic soul masters to form the Xuanming Sect and stepped forward to engage in a fierce battle with the aquatic soul beasts in the Daling River."

After hearing this, Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but think: "Isn't this the Xuanming Sect where Xu Sanshi from Douluo II came from?"

"The mythical beast Xuanwu?" Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but ask, pointing out his interest.

Chen Cong nodded, his voice getting a little higher, and he continued: "Well, Xuanwu is the leader of the seven great turtle beasts. Its descendants are all over the continent. The Lingyuan Xuanwu you chose for your fourth soul ring is the best among them, and the Xuanming Turtle is not bad either."

"As a martial spirit, the Mysterious Nether Turtle is on par with Guijia's Fuyue, a top-level ninth-grade martial spirit."

"Do they have a ceremony to awaken the Black Tortoise bloodline and advance to a super martial spirit?" Chen Xiaojun asked curiously.

Chen Cong pondered for a moment and said, "I don't think I've heard of it. How can a super martial spirit be awakened so easily? If there is such a ceremony, there would be many super martial spirits in the world."

"However, the Xuanming Sect does have some secret techniques for temporarily using the power of blood and increasing power."

Chen Xiaojun's thoughts drifted far away: "It seems that during this period of time, Xuanming Sect has not yet had an awakening ceremony. That's right, Xu Sanshi in Douluo Dalu was already ten thousand years later. I don't know if they have studied the super martial spirits of divine beasts more thoroughly, or if the restrictions of heaven and earth have been relaxed."

Chen Cong did not notice the turmoil in Chen Xiaojun's heart. He continued to talk enthusiastically: "The last thing I want to talk about is the west, the northwest of Xingluo, which is our Xieluo Mountains. There, the Qingtian Sect is responsible for resisting the beast tide."

Chen Xiaojun's curiosity was aroused: "Qingtian Sect? What type of soul master is this?"

Chen Cong smiled and explained, "Bamboo! Think about it, a pillar supporting the sky, doesn't bamboo look like that?"

Chen Xiaojun smiled and said, "Indeed, it looks like that!"

Chen Cong continued eloquently: "You know, the four major categories of plant martial spirits are flowers, grasses, vines, and trees, and bamboo does not belong to these four categories. It is considered a minor category."

"But don't underestimate it. The bamboo spirit is very balanced in attack, control and defense, and its vitality is extremely strong. Therefore, it ranks high among plant spirits."

"The strongest martial spirit of the Qingtian Sect is the Purple Brilliant Bamboo. There are also other top martial spirits such as the Holy Spirit Bamboo and the Green Jade Bamboo."

Chen Xiaojun's heart moved, and he remembered something: "Isn't the Purple Bamboo the spirit of the captain of the Douling Academy in Douluo II? But I haven't heard of the Qingtian Sect. But why did the Purple Bamboo and Mysterious Turtle spirits go to the Douling Empire in the northeast in Douluo II?"

He couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't the Qingtian Sect deal with the spirit masters in the Xingdou Great Forest and the Hundred Thousand Mountains? They should also be well suited to the environment there."

Chen Cong shook his head: "Actually, that's not the case. Bamboo martial spirits are more suitable for temperate climates and grow faster, and the Shero Mountains happen to have a temperate climate."

"More importantly, the terrain of the Xieluo Mountains is special. The Xingluo Empire side is mostly plains, with no strategic locations to defend."

"Therefore, we have no choice but to let the plant-type soul masters led by Zihuangzhu conduct large-scale control and artificially create a forest defense line. Together with the spiritual and illusion-type soul masters, their combat power is very terrifying."

Chen Xiaojun thought to himself: "The Purple Brilliant Bamboo Formation, Shrek Academy suffered a great loss at that time, and almost lost."

Chen Cong went on to say, "The Qingtian Army of the Qingtian Sect is stationed opposite the Xieluo Mountains to this day, and is in a standoff with our Chang'an Army."

"Most of the battles between the two empires took place at the Sheluo Pass. The Sky-lifting Legion was the vanguard of the Xingluo Empire."

Chen Xiaojun widened his eyes and exclaimed: "The strength of the four sects now is really astonishing."

Chen Cong glanced at him, leaned against the armrest, lightly supported his chin with his left hand, and snorted coldly: "Nonsense, if you are not powerful, how can you be named Grand Duke?"

"Grand Duke?" Chen Xiaojun raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

Chen Cong put down the teacup in his right hand and explained slowly: "Grand Duke, that is the highest honor given by the Xing Luo Empire royal family to people of different surnames, and the status is comparable to that of a royal prince."

"Back then, the Xingluo royal family changed hands, and the White Tiger Dai family came to power. In order to consolidate their power, they lavishly rewarded their meritorious officials."

"The leaders of the four major sects were conferred the title of Duke for their merits. They are Duke Pingdong, Duke Zhennan, Duke Anxi, and Duke Jingbei."

Chen Xiaojun's eyes flashed with light, and he asked, "Duke Zhennan? Is he the one who is in charge of the Duke of Zhennan, where the famous foreign legion is located?"

"That's right." Chen Cong nodded affirmatively, "Your grandfather Hong once served there. Many people in our Chen family have served there during their training."

"Your grandfather Yao Ting and your seventh uncle Yin Zu are among them now. Yao Ting is also the deputy commander of the foreign legion, so we have a good relationship with the Zhennan Mansion."

"The four great dukes' palaces have guarded the four directions since then. They have stood firm on the front lines of the three major mountain ranges and the Xingdou Daling River, made great military achievements, and were eventually promoted to grand dukes."

"The Great Ape Sect where Lord Zhennan is located is the most powerful of the four sects. It is on par with Lord Zhenbei of the Tiandou Empire, the lineage of Grand Duke Tianshui. They are collectively known as the 'Douluo Twin Towns' by the world."

"The other three sects are mainly facing soul beasts, while the Great Ape Sect is guarding a part of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, not only against beast tides, but also against orcs."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaojun blurted out, "Half-orcs? Do they refer to those humans whose martial spirits have not fully awakened and have signs of beast bodies?"

Chen Cong replied in a low voice, "Yes, I guess you have read the relevant books. In a broad sense, orcs are all species with the bloodline or physical characteristics of soul beasts. In a narrow sense, they are them."

Chen Xiaojun gently stroked his chin and thought: "Speaking of which, Tang San is also a half-orc in a broad sense."

At this time, Chen Cong continued: "The main thing is that many of them are soul masters who can use soul rings, and they have a deep hatred for our martial soul world. As for the reason, it is not difficult for you to imagine."

Chen Xiaojun nodded with difficulty, "Yes."

He couldn't help but think: "Those fox girls, snake girls, and rabbit girls in Douluo No. 1 are sold at very high prices."

Chen Cong became more and more serious, and his voice became deeper. "Usually, the soul beasts stay in the territory, but they are much more aggressive than the soul beasts. They attack from the Hundred Thousand Mountains every now and then, maintaining a high frequency and low intensity of attack, and from time to time there are big ones."

"They have the physique of soul beasts, possess the soul rings of soul masters, are extremely powerful, and retain human wisdom, social systems, organizational models, and even heritage. Among the alien races of the catastrophe, the orcs are the most powerful."

"So, the Great Ape Sect, which was able to withstand them, must be very powerful."

"As for the foreign legion, it was the Great Ape Sect's attempt to reduce casualties and provide venues and resources for soul masters or desperate criminals who love fighting. The two sides hit it off."

"The four lower sects have also made many sacrifices over the past two thousand years."

Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but clap his hands and said, "Great Ape Sect! Great Lower Four Sects!"

Chen Cong shook his head: "With great power comes great responsibility! In the face of catastrophe, soul masters come first! Not only the lower four sects, but the upper three sects also have their own opponents."

Finally, Chen Cong concluded: "Therefore, the seven major sects can be canonized and treated favorably by the two great powers, and can be called the sects that protect the country."

After hearing this, Chen Xiaojun couldn't help but sigh: "So, the seven major sects are indeed the pinnacle of the world's sects. They look down on all the sects in the world."

Chen Cong shook his head and said with some amusement: "Then you underestimated the sects in the world."
