Chapter 1297: The Palace

With the passing of time, Tang Wulin did not give much thought to past events, particularly after taking on the post of the Tang Sect’s Sect Master.

Long Yue was once a major adversary in his heart. At one point, he even regarded beating Long Yue his goal. Yet, his current goal was the Star Sea. At the end of the starry skies in the distance, his biological parents were waiting for him.

He would do his best to be a Limit Douluo as soon as possible. It was only by making a breakthrough to a whole different realm would he be able to acquire their location.

Even though his biological parents were alive, he had lost all connections to them. Nevertheless, he would not give up as long as there was hope.

The black mecha’s pilot cabin opened. Long Yuxue leaped down nimbly and walked toward Tang Wulin in quick strides. Tang Wulin had come to look for her in the morning. He wanted her to lead the Blood Dragon Unit to prepare for the upcoming trial. She knew that he was planning a deception which would give an impressive impact. The heavy-ion beam was considered a great killing weapon. Even the man, possibly a beast even, whom they encountered back in the beginning, was defeated by the weapon.

Tang Wulin spoke smilingly, “You must have gone through a lot of trouble for this.”

Long Yuxue shook her head. “It’s fine as long as I can help you.”

The Shrek Six Monsters were pleasantly surprised upon seeing this. Long Yuxue was definitely not the first woman to fall for Tang Wulin. Most likely, she would not be the last either. What a waste it was for the women who pined after Tang Wulin for he was a one-woman man.

They could only sigh in their hearts for Long Yuxue.

“Everyone should go back and have a good night’s rest. We’re going to meet the emperor tomorrow which is the most important agenda of our trip. Our success or failure hinges on this meeting. Be prepared.”

The Star Luo Empire advocated combat so they understood what Tang Wulin meant by being prepared. However, everyone was eager for a tryout, in particular, the people from Shrek such as Sima Jinchi, A Ruheng, and the others. They were bored to death after traveling in a submarine for a long time.

“Sect Master, please allow me to elaborate on the organization and state of affairs at our Tang Sect currently. It will facilitate the networking procedures at the end of the negotiation. I think the result of the negotiation will be favorable. Just in case, the rest of the matters should be prepared accordingly.”

Tang Wulin nodded. “If the war is going to occur, the Star Luo Empire will be the most crucial factor. Should the Federation attack the Dou Spirit Empire first, then the Star Luo Empire can provide reinforcements. On the other hand, if the attack is launched against Star Luo first, the Star Luo Empire will need to withstand the federal army’s attack. In addition, they must be able to force them to withdraw their army quickly with minimal fighting. We must begin the preparations soon. Apart from providing the two empires with supplies, we also have some resources for our Tang Sect. These resources can be utilized if necessary.”

“It’d certainly be better with the resources provided by the headquarters. Sect Master, this way please.”

On the next day.

Tang Wulin had been busy all day, so he only returned to his room around midnight. However, he looked fit and energetic after a good night’s rest.

He took a shower and changed into an antiquated robe which symbolized the Tang Sect’s Sect Master. Today was the most important day of his trip.

The Blood God Unit stayed behind. Besides the people from Star Luo Empire’s Tang Sect, there were Tang Wulin, the Shrek Six Monsters together with A Ruheng and Sima Jinchi embarking on this trip.

Tang Wulin’s capability would advance to another level with the presence of Sima Jinchi’s Dragon Clan power saber.

The Tang Sect’s motorcade left the headquarters. As evidence of its special privilege, there was no other car on the wide, spacious road apart from a few specially-appointed soldiers standing guard on both sides of the road.

All the Tang Sect’s cars were distinctive. Tang Wulin and the Smiley Face Douluo Hu Jie were in the second car. Along the way, they closed their eyes to get some rest.

Whatever happened, go with the flow. Today’s outcome would determine whether they succeed in stopping the war on the continent and prevent the population from being plunged into suffering and misery.

The palace was strongly fortified. The motorcade stopped in front of the palace whereby the people could only enter the palace on foot. Dai Yueyan waited with a group of people at the entrance to welcome them.

The emperor was not among the welcoming entourage. After all, Tang Wulin was just the Tang Sect’s Sect Master. His status was still far below the emperor. It was already gracious of him to send his crown prince to welcome them personally.

For some unknown reason, Tang Wulin noticed that Dai Yueyan was observing him with a rather peculiar expression when he met Dai Yueyan.

“Your Highness.” Tang Wulin nodded toward Dai Yueyan as a sign of respect.

Dai Yueyan’s smile grew wider. He spoke in an exceedingly friendly manner, “Sect Master, this way please.” The greeting obviously sounded like they were kinsfolk which made Tang Wulin a little uneasy.

Ever since he got acquainted with the crown prince, it was Tang Wulin’s first time to harbor a sense of fellowship with Dai Yueyan. Naturally, this signified a good start.

Both of them walked side by side with the rest of the entourage following behind. Even the Smiley Face Douluo intentionally fell behind them.

Dai Yueyan spoke to Tang Wulin as they walked, “Tang Sect’s Sect Master, what’s your impression of Star Luo Empire?”

Tang Wulin answered, “Excellent! The Star Luo Empire emphasizes the importance of soul masters and the cultivation of their individual strengths which in turn encourages the soul masters to cultivate painstakingly. Moreover, we can still see many of the traditional cultures which have perished in the Federation. I’m a traditionalist myself.”

Dai Yueyan nodded. “That’s right! In fact, the Douluo Federation came about after a continental collision back in those years.”

The Douluo Continent was not as large initially. The current Douluo Continent was formed as a result of the Douluo plate movement which occurred when another continent collided into it.

The continent that collided into the Douluo Continent at the time was the Sun Moon Continent. The Sun Moon Continent was blessed with abundant resources. They lacked soul masters, but they managed to develop superb soul technology. Consequently, there was a revolutionary change on the Douluo Continent.

Whether it was the Star Luo Continent or the current Douluo Continent, the inhabitants were the indigenous people of the Douluo Continent. The formation of the current Douluo Federation was the combination of many races which included the inhabitants of the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent’s indigenous people.

The Star Luo Empire and the Dou Spirit Empire adopted a hostile attitude toward the population of the Sun Moon Continent due to race differences. It ended with the great migration of the Star Luo Continent.

Ten thousand years ago, the soul masters held a reputable status on the Douluo Continent. With the high-speed development of soul devices, the soul guide masters and the mecha masters gradually became mainstream.

The development of soul devices allowed ordinary folks to be equipped with powerful destructive forces. Subsequently, the status of the soul masters diminished. As a result, the number of Douluo Federation’s soul masters declined, in particular, the highly skilled ones.

A soul master was only considered highly skilled when his cultivation base had made a breakthrough to the Soul Sage realm. Undoubtedly, the cultivation was a long and arduous process. On the other hand, if those gifted soul masters who chose to be soul guide masters applied some shortcuts to elevate their soul powers to become mecha masters, then the process would be much shorter. The time taken would be half the time required to become a highly-skilled soul master. At the same time, their fighting capabilities would not differ by much.

The Federation’s focus at the time was to actively develop soul guide masters and intensify the research on soul technology. It was carried out in anticipation of the conquest of other planets in the distant future and exploration of lands suitable for mankind’s survival. Such was the Federation’s direction. Thus, the federal parliament was not concerned when the Spirit Pagoda gained full control of the spirit souls.

Many of the Federation’s researches were designed to enable ordinary folks to become powerful soul masters. Following the continual perfection of mecha technology, the need for soul masters to enhance the effectiveness of mechas was much reduced.
