Chapter 5 Great Spirit Master
Chapter 5 Great Spirit Master
Xu Mingxi followed his grandfather back home, and while his parents were away, he asked his grandfather about the two soul beasts he had just seen.
"Mingxi, you have to be more respectful to these two elders in the future. They have been around since the beginning of our Xingguan Sect.
In other words, the first generation of Star Crown Douluo chose this place as the sect's address because of them."
"Is that so, Grandpa? What kind of soul beasts are they? Why haven't I seen them in books?"
“The old tree is a hundred thousand year old star tree, and the old vine is a hundred thousand year old star-seeking vine. The two were born together.
The starry sky is filled with bright starlight because of their presence.
For those of us with the Star Crown Martial Spirit, this is a natural mimicry place."
"But Grandpa, aren't they soul beasts? Can we humans really live in peace with soul beasts?"
Xu Mingxi uttered these tentative words with a hint of naivety, but was sternly rejected by his grandfather.
“Absolutely impossible, when the first generation Star Crown Douluo first saw them, they were not even 100,000-year soul beasts.
If the first generation Star Crown Douluo had not already obtained the ninth spirit ring, they would definitely not have survived.
However, later on, with the establishment of the Xingguan Sect and the two of them becoming hundred thousand year soul beasts, it would be more beneficial for the Xingguan Sect if they stayed alive.
We provided them with some flesh and blood of negative star cattle, and they transformed the environment of Starfall Mountain.
The two sides have lived in peace for thousands of years, and our relationship has improved.”
"Then, Grandpa, why are they so interested in me today?"
Xu Mingxi still felt a little scared when he thought of the vines that suddenly appeared in front of him during the day.
"Grandpa doesn't know about this either. Maybe it's because of your near-star physique. Maybe with you by their side, their training speed can be accelerated."
Soul beasts also need to practice. A hundred thousand year old soul beast does not mean it has really lived for a hundred thousand years.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm definitely doesn't live as long as the Ice Emperor, but if we put aside strength and talk about cultivation, his cultivation is definitely far superior to that of the Ice Emperor.
If it really takes 100,000 years to produce a 100,000-year soul beast, then the high-level soul beasts would have been killed long ago.
Xu Mingxi seemed to be thinking about something, but knowing that the old tree and the old vine would not harm him was enough. He believed that the sect leader would arrange everything else.
"By the way, Mingxi, is it always this loud every time you practice?"
This was the first time in the Great Elder's life that he had seen the stars in the sky falling like flowing water.
"No, Grandpa, this is just the effect of my soul skill. As long as I don't use my first soul skill, it won't be like this."
"Will that affect your cultivation speed?"
“This doesn’t seem to have much impact.”
After Xu Mingxi felt it carefully, it seemed that it made no difference to him whether he used this first soul skill or not.
It’s just that the concentration of starlight around it will increase after using it, which seems to be helpful to other people with Star Crown Martial Spirit.
The next day, Xu Mingxi said goodbye to his parents and moved directly to live under the star tree in the back mountain.
The sect leader built a small wooden house for the two brothers Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingguang under the star tree, and he usually delivered meals to them personally.
Xu Mingguang was very happy that he could see his father often here.
Xu Fangxing is the one who takes care of the two old seniors in the back mountain and is responsible for transporting the flesh and blood of the Negative Star Cow every day.
The advantage is that he can also take advantage of this excellent place for training.
Father Xu often complained at home, wondering if the clan leader was giving his son special treatment.
Otherwise, given that they are of similar age, Xu Fangxing's innate soul power is only one level higher than mine. How is it possible that he is almost a major level higher than mine?
The land near the star tree is artificially planted with star-gathering grass.
At night, endless starlight shines down, illuminating the star-gathering grass and then converging on the star tree.
The stars are shining, so beautiful.
This place is not only used by the two brothers Mingguang and Mingxi, but also a place for the sect master and several elders to practice.
Xu Mingxi rests during the day and receives instruction from the elders and the sect leader in the afternoon.
At night, he would sit cross-legged right under the Star Tree, and practice cultivation by absorbing the starlight from the sky.
The sect master and several elders were sitting around, and the Star Tree and Xu Mingxi's first soul skill were superimposed.
There were twinkling stars all around, and everyone seemed to be in a sea of stars.
Of course, it was just a superficial effect. The sect leader did not feel that his cultivation speed had accelerated after having Xu Mingxi.
"Mingxi, don't be disappointed. It may be that the level of the elders is too far from yours. It should be enough for you to reach Soul King or Soul Emperor."
This made Xu Mingxi even sadder. He was only an eleventh-level soul master, and his first soul skill was an amplification skill.
"Master, can I go home on the weekend?" Although Xu Mingxi was determined to practice hard, he still wanted to have his own life.
"Of course you can. Only by combining work and rest can you cultivate for a long time."
The sect leader looked at Xu Mingxi happily, saying that it was not enough to just focus on cultivation, it would be better for him to interact more with the people in the sect.
But you can't be like the old dragon's son, who was too arrogant and was treated coldly by the people in the sect after awakening a useless martial spirit.
Look at our Xingguan Sect. Under my leadership, it is truly a good sect of unity and friendship.
Just a few days ago, word spread on the continent that the son of the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, one of the top three sects, had awakened a useless martial spirit.
The sect leader scoffed at the time, thinking that this was just false news spread by the Spirit Hall to undermine the reputation of the three upper sects, and it would be clarified soon.
Who would have thought that after several days, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan had no intention of clarifying the matter.
The sect leader then had to believe that children born by a dragon are not necessarily dragon sons.
Xu Mingxi spent his second childhood studying and practicing.
Compared to his previous life, he prefers life on Douluo Continent.
Here there are parents who love you and friends who care about you, and disciples of the sect also play together and help each other.
He wanted to protect it all.
More importantly, it feels great to keep getting stronger.
The hardworking Xu Mingxi felt that time passed very quickly, and two years had passed in the blink of an eye.
With the help of his first soul skill and the Star Tree, eight-year-old Xu Mingxi successfully reached level 20.
Xu Mingguang, who was with him, had also reached level 19, and the two of them agreed to go together to obtain the second soul ring.
There are records in the sect that an ancestor once delayed obtaining a spirit ring due to some matters.
As a result, after a relatively long period of time, his soul power actually increased by two levels after absorbing the soul ring.
Since then, the Xingguan Sect has deliberately arranged some people to conduct experiments, and the lack of soul rings does not hinder the continued improvement of soul power.
The sect leader just let the two little brats do what they wanted. Mingguang's breakthrough would only take one or two months, so it wouldn't be a big deal.
He was worried about another thing. The Star Ancestor had some records in his notebook.
At that time, the Star Ancestor was stuck at level 98 and was unable to break through. In his later years, he kept complaining that he had made the wrong choices for his second to sixth soul rings.
The sect leader looked at Xu Mingxi who was sitting cross-legged under the star tree practicing, and he was even a little scared. He was afraid of ruining this child.
"No, I have to go back and look through the soul beast encyclopedia. I must find a good soul ring for Mingxi."
A month and a half later, Xu Mingguang successfully broke through level 20, and the two little ones walked into the master's hall one after the other.
"Grandpa, I have made a breakthrough. When will you take us to hunt for spirit rings?"
The sect leader, who already had dark circles under his eyes, raised his head from the pile of books.
"Mingguang has also made a breakthrough, but this time it's not Grandpa who's leading the team.
This time you are going to the Xingdou Great Forest. Grandpa needs to handle sect affairs in the sect, and the first and second elders will take you there when the time comes."
The sect leader consulted a lot of information and decided on several soul beasts that were suitable for Xu Mingxi, most of which lived in the Star Dou Great Forest.
As for Xu Mingguang, there are soul beasts suitable for him in the Star Dou Great Forest. If that doesn't work, he can return to the sect and absorb soul rings again.
The Xingguan Sect had already researched and developed a set of applicable templates for the first four soul skills in the three development directions of strong attack, control, and assistance.
A soul beast that can produce one or two soul skills only takes a few hundred years, and the Xingguan Sect can still afford to raise it with its foundation.
Of course there are some in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the two children have already made an agreement, so it’s just a waste of time at most.
As the sect leader, Xu Chunxing cannot leave the sect for a long time, and it is unknown how long it will take to find a suitable soul beast.
Moreover, two elders, one Titled Douluo and one Soul Douluo, are more than enough.
If Xu Mingguang and Xu Mingxi were not too important to the Xingguan Sect, they would not have sent out this lineup.
The next day, Xu Mingxi followed his grandfather to the training ground, where Xu Mingguang and the second elder were already waiting.
Only four people are traveling this time, and the less the outside world knows about the Xu Mingguang brothers, the better.
During the period of the two great empires, wars were constant on Douluo Continent. In addition, the western mountains were sparsely populated, and the roads were full of potholes.
Or rather, there were no roads at all, just wild paths made by people. Xu Mingxi almost tripped several times while walking on them.
Finally, the two elders simply picked up the two little kids, used their soul power to protect their bodies, and flew forward.
If we let the two children walk by themselves, we don’t know how many days it will take to get there.
The two elders naturally had different speeds, but they arrived outside the Star Dou Great Forest in just a few days.
