The Legend of the Dragon King (Web Novel)
chapter-1281

Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment for they had yet to enter the negotiation stage and the scheme proposed by Tang Sect just now still relatively had the margin for haggling. He had not expected Xue Yuntian to agree even before they had entered the palace that was obviously made for their negotiation. Moreover, Xue Yuntian agreed in a very resolute manner.

Xue Yuntian snickered bitterly. “Sect Master Tang, we don’t have any other choice right now. Thus, we are willing to support the Tang Sect and at the same time, we hope that Tang Sect will support us too without the slightest bit of reservation. We can guarantee that Dou Spirit Empire will always be the Tang Sect’s substantial partner.”

“Sure.” Tang Wulin nodded and stretched out his hand toward the emperor before him.

Xue Yuntian stretched out his hand and shook Tang Wulin’s hand. “I’m sure Sect Master is feeling rather perplexed about why I gave my consent so soon. There’s another reason besides being rendered choiceless. I suddenly realized something upon listening to your analysis earlier. Both the Tang Sect and the Shrek Academy have never been of wild ambitions. Spirit Pagoda, on the other hand, doesn’t behave as such. We’re willing to cooperate with allies of righteous forces.”

Tang Wulin smiled. “Thank you, your majesty. I too believe that Dou Spirit Empire had made a wise choice. My visitation this time is more than just representing the Tang Sect but I’m also simultaneously express gratitude to your majesty’s goodwill on behalf of Shrek. The Shrek Academy hasn’t vanished and it will certainly be rebuilt in the near future.”

“Shrek Academy hasn’t vanished?” Xue Yuntian was astonished.

Tang Wulin nodded. “Yes! Shrek has always existed. As the number one academy on the continent with twenty thousand years of history, it will not vanish as easily. Other than my identity as Tang Sect’s Sect Master, I’m the Shrek Academy’s Sea God Pavilion’s Master for this generation.”

Xue Yuntian dazed at the youth standing before himself. He was silent for a long while before he smiled. It was relief that appeared on his face for the first time in so many days.

“If Shrek is willing, the Dou Spirit Empire is willing to provide a location to rebuild it at any moment. It wouldn’t be an issue even if you wish to take my palace as Shrek Academy’s rebuilding location.”

At this very moment, Tang Wulin could even see the hope in his eyes.

As a fanatic with the utmost respect for tradition, there was no other thought that Xue Yuntian yearned for more intensely. He yearned for soul master powerhouses in his heart.

Tang Wulin smiled. “I promise you that when we rebuild Shrek in the future, we will certainly set up a branch in Dou Spirit Empire.”

…

It had already been three days since the submarine soundlessly left the Dou Spirit Empire.

Even when Li Yunzhe sent Tang Wulin and the rest to the submarine, the incredulous expression on his face had yet to vanish. They were unaware of the discussion between Tang Wulin and Xue Yuntian as Tang Wulin had used his domain to seal their voices during the conversation.

The Dou Spirit Empire had actually consented to all requests that Tang Sect had made without hesitation. They had even signed an agreement to mobilize the army to support Tang Sect’s decisions at any time. This was all beyond Li Yunzhe’s imagination.

This was equal to Dou Spirit Empire being completely bound together with Tang Sect and there was no restriction on Tang Sect at all.

If one were to describe Li Yunzhe being completely convinced as an effect of Tang Wulin’s strength, then he had also fully admired Tang Wulin’s ability this time. Even his speculation of Tang Wulin now as compared to his earliest speculation was different and the change was too great. Li Yunzhe’s attitude earlier was ambiguous such that he was swaying in between Tang Sect and Spirit Pagoda, but he had never expected such an immense change of attitude after the Spirit Pagoda’s headquarters in Dou Spirit Empire was destroyed.

The immediate successive events were much simpler. The items promised by Tang Sect had not been placed in the submarine but were carried along on Tang Wulin’s body at all times. Thus, Xue Yuntian simply could not believe his eyes as he was bewildered watching Tang Wulin continuously unleash tonnes of resources in the enormous warehouse.

Tang Wulin was simply akin to a weapon warehouse in human form. Moreover, he was very terrifying. If the items carried by Tang Wulin were to explode, Xue Yuntian was afraid that more than just one Heaven Dou City would vanish…

The diplomatic mission to Dou Spirit Empire had been completed smoothly. Even though there was some delay caused in Spirit Wave City, the process after it was overly smooth. Such that the overall time was shorter than the original speculation.

The next location was the most important part of this trip. They were now headed to the Star Luo Empire!

Unlike the Dou Spirit Empire, Star Luo Empire powerful on its own. They were much more confident about the federation’s military operations. At the very least, favorable timing, geographical convenience, and human conditions were on their side. The confidence that the Star Luo Empire’s military had regarding the war was not something that could be compared with the Dou Spirit Empire.

Tang Sect’s status in Star Luo Empire was actually much higher than in Dou Spirit Empire. Thought the status of Spirit Pagoda in the Star Luo Empire was not low either, there was still some disparity between Spirit Pagoda and Tang Sect.

Tang Wulin and his companion had visited Star Luo Empire before and at one point they had met his majesty the emperor too. However, it was precisely the reason that made their trip slightly more difficult than usual.

Tang Wulin’s ever-powerful image in Xue Yuntian’s heart was nothing but a disguise skill. However, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire had actually met Tang Wulin before and there were quite a lot of people familiar to his presence. Her royal highness princess had even proposed her love for Tang Wulin in Shrek Academy. These would not be helpful for the negotiation process and would end up as barriers.

Thus before this operation, Amorous Douluo and Tang Wulin had been discussing even more about the situation at Star Luo Empire. They were ready for exercising all sorts of tricks including suppression at the Dou Spirit Empire, but it would not be as simple for the Star Luo Empire.

Star Luo Empire believed in absolute ability. In order to compel the Star Luo Empire into agreeing with their terms, they would have to display even more powerful abilities. This trip would be the real test for Tang Wulin and his companions.

Tang Wulin engaged in closed-door cultivation as soon as he boarded the ship. He shut himself in his room. Before he engaged in closed-door cultivation, he requested Ye Xinglan and Yuanen Yehui’s help to devote their full attention to forging his battle armor. He was still lacking a few parts for his three-word battle armor before he would own a complete set. On the other hand, a complete set of the three-word battle armor would allow him to achieve another leap in his abilities.

It was possible for him to not need that at Dou Spirit Empire, but there was certainly a need for it in the Star Luo Empire.

Back then when they first came here, they had participated in the Star Luo Empire’s young soul masters competition and became the final champion. Their opponents at that time were more powerful than they had judged by their overall ability. On the other hand, they came here again this time and had already completely transformed as compared to before. Their opponents might have already grown to a brand new level as well.

Tang Wulin was filled with anticipation for it. The act of convincing the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire would largely rely on Tang Wulin and his companions’ performance for this trip.

It was already the third day now. Tang Wulin calmly sat on the bed inside his cabin.

He was completely immersed in his own world.

Ever since his ‘encounter’ with Tang San from the other day, there was always that muddled heavy feeling in his sea of spirit.

It just felt like he was loaded with lead. He felt like his sea of spirit was overloaded due to being infused with too many things. The heaviness made him feel a little overburdened. It made him feel like he was under a lot of pressure.

Thus, he would have to digest and absorb all this with great effort first so that this would not affect his condition in the least.

He would also need to fuse, comprehend, experience, and utilize the transformation of his entire body as a result of breaking through to the Golden Dragon King’s twelfth seal. There was also the breakthrough of his spiritual domain.

This sudden qualitative change may not necessarily be a good thing. The strength he had displayed before the Dou Spirit Empire’s emperor was outwardly strong and was actually inwardly weak. If there was truly the possibility of a battle, he would find himself slightly incapable of exercising control over his strength for there was just too much elevation this time.

It had already been three days. Tang Wulin’s cultivation did not produce any substantial development for he found that he was at a loss for where to focus and what to do due too the high amount increase.

It felt as if he were to start elevating any one side, he would end up affecting other sides.

He was afraid that he would need too much time to neutralize the heaviness in his sea of spirit. If everything mentioned by his birth father was true, then his father would pass down the legacy of Godhood to himself. On the other hand, how could he withstand the inheritance of Godhood as easily?

It would definitely require a long period of time in order to digest and absorb everything else. The distance between the Dou Spirit Empire to the Star Luo Empire was actually not as far as compared to the distance between Douluo Continent and Dou Spirit Continent. They would only have to travel for over twenty days.

On the other hand, this was certainly not enough time for him to absorb the information in his sea of spirit.

This had also resulted in increased difficulty for him to elevate his spiritual domain one step further at present. The elevation of his spiritual domain would also trigger this information in his mind. He was afraid that he would delay everything else if he were to enter deep meditation at once.
