Chapter 1391: The Path To Godhood

Tang Wulin said, “Mother, what should we do now? There’s the Underworld King Douluo in Star Luo Empire. When the war begins, will…”

Yali waved her hand. “I have a rather good understanding of Underworld King Douluo. He is not that interested in killing people unless it is for cultivation purposes. Moreover, it’s utterly meaningless for him to kill ordinary people at his current rank. He is not bothered about this and he won’t participate in the war either. I believe that even the Holy Spirit Cult can’t possibly control a powerhouse of his rank but their relationship is merely collaborative. He made a move today mainly because of you. Your appearance and advancing momentum can possibly disrupt his ascension to a true god in the future, that is why he made a move on someone from a junior generation like you. Otherwise, for someone as proud as him, he surely would have waited until you had grown.”

“However, there is also another possibility in this case. That is precisely that it’s possible that they’ve already found out the shortcut to Godhood. That is why Underworld King Douluo is mobilized by them to make a move on you. Moreover, your growth attracted his concern so he wants to kill you.”

Tang Wulin could not refrain himself and asked, “What sort of method is it? It has been ten thousand years since anyone had a breakthrough to Godhood and the Divine Realm is already far from us. How are they going to ascend to Godhood?”

Yali said with a deep voice, “There’s no way to verify whether the Divine Realm still exists and no one can confirm it. Perhaps they have found some other approach.”

Of course, Tang Wulin could not tell her that the Divine Realm had truly disappeared and that had been swept away by space-time turbulence because his parents were there. However, Yali’s words reminded him of something. Tang Wulin seemed to have gotten a hold of something that did not quite make any sense for him.

Holy Spirit Cult’s sudden appearance during these recent years and the launch of terrorist attacks to destroy Shrek Academy and Tang Sect was not just for enmity. It was definitely not an easy task to get their hands on a Godkiller-rank fixed soul ammunition. So what was the hidden relation in these matters?

Also, as the holy land of soul masters on the continent, Spirit Pagoda had actually colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult. So, what was the hidden interest in this?

If their final target was to develop in the direction of attaining Godhood, then there were many ways to explain the situation now. However, the final question was how were they planning to achieve their final target.

At this point, Tang Wulin could not help but deeply ponder about it.

Yali could not help cracking into a kind smile as she stood watching him. No matter how young she looked, her actual age was still there. Everything else did not matter as much to her as compared to once again having a relative by her side that called her ‘mother’ after experiencing so many vicissitudes of life. Assisting Tang Wulin was the most important task for her now.

Meanwhile, Tang Wulin suddenly felt a gush of heat on his chest for no reason. His train of thought was immediately interrupted. He raised his head and looked towards Yali. “Mother, will your presence here today affect the process of your metamorphosis?”

Yali shook her head. “The preliminary metamorphosis has already finished. The step that follows is refinement and I’m going to be fine. I would advise you to leave with us as soon as possible since the task on hand is already completed. I’m concerned when the Underworld King Douluo is still eyeing you with hostility over here. It’s genuinely not a difficult task for him to kill someone if he wants to. It will be extremely arduous to stop him even in a place with a strong defense like the Tang Sect here.”

Tang Wulin nodded. He understood that she wanted him to leave and return to Douluo Continent as soon as possible.

“Mother, please rest now. I will take my leave too.”

He bid farewell to the Holy Spirit Douluo before returning to his room.

His act of inviting the Holy Dragon Douluo’s presence today was supposed to be a reversed ambush for the Holy Spirit Cult. He was prepared to weaken the Holy Spirit Cult’s strength effectively yet little did he know that their ambush was deemed futile with the addition of a teleported Holy Spirit Douluo.

At the same time, he was also shown a brand new path. It seemed like Limit Douluo was not truly the limit of all.

Many people were pursuing the levels in divine rank like a flock of ducks just for immortality! His birth parents were in the real Divine Realm yet the Divine Realm was swept away by space-time turbulence. There was nothing they could do anyhow. If that was the case for people who had ascended into Godhood, what more for ordinary people?

Tang Wulin’s chest remained blazing hot such that he could not help frowning. Could this be the reason for his worry? Or was it because his mood was affected or was something wrong with his Golden Dragon King Bloodline?

There was no reaction from the Ice God Pearl at present so it should not be a big issue, right?

He took a shower and sat cross-legged on his bed. Tang Wulin slowly closed his eyes as he began entering a meditation state.

Today’s battle allowed him to have a deep experience of how there was still a long way for him to go in order to ascend to the pinnacle. He would still have to put in more effort and work harder in order to achieve that possibility.

Gradually, he entered the state forgetting himself and the outside world.

His soul power and bloodline power circulated with ease as he digested and absorbed the gains from today’s battle. The Death Knight that was destroyed by him nourished him with plentiful energy. Even though the Death Knight was fueled by underworld power, the gush of its death energy was extremely pure such that the filtration was meant to convert its attribute into pure energy for Tang Wulin’s absorption.

Other than replenishing his body’s consumption, there was still quite a large amount of leftovers. As a result, he found himself to be in a rather good condition at present. His cultivation base would certainly benefit from this. Even if he could only keep one-tenth of the energy absorbed through cultivation, it was still faster than relying on ordinary cultivation.

Tang Wulin lost count of time. Gradually, a peculiar feeling arose in Tang Wulin’s mind. He felt as if his soul floated lightly and he had been separated from his body. There was an exceedingly comfortable sensation all over his body.

Everything in his surroundings carried a faint trace of refreshing coldness that moisturized his body. In the void, his cultivation base seemed to have found another breakthrough point as it elevated in an obvious manner.

His spirit was stored on the inside of him at present. Everything was happening naturally as his entire person was immersed in a meditative state.

However, Tang Wulin was still unaware that he had unleashed a layer of energy field into the surroundings. It was emitting a faint radiance.

If one could sense this energy from the external world, one could only feel the intensity of his cultivation base elevation and soul power fluctuation and nothing else. Even Yali who had been enshrouded in his spiritual power all this time could only feel that Tang Wulin had made a breakthrough in his cultivation process once again.

On the other hand, rings of faint silver halos began to appear underneath his body. Complicated runes covered the entire bed so the silver color could enshroud Tang Wulin’s body following the appearance of the silver halos.

Not only was the bed illuminated, but even the complicated runes that covered the ground were illuminated as well. The aura emitted from these runes imitated the same cultivation aura as soon as it came into contact with the aura emitted from Tang Wulin’s body. The aura covered the entire room.

The silver color on the bed suddenly turned clearer. Thick silver light suddenly enshrouded Tang Wulin’s entire body in the next moment. Silver light flashed once as Tang Wulin vanished into thin air.

Yali sat on the bed in her room as she quietly meditated. The encounter with Underworld King Douluo had been too stressful for her.

Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa was a true quasigod. Even if there were other existing quasigods, it was almost impossible for their cultivation base to surpass his.

How could Yali not be bothered to learn that this almighty figure had become a part of the Holy Spirit Cult? She must work harder to make herself more powerful in order to help her son fight against those evil soul masters in the future.

Yali had a deep awareness in her mind that she would never let those evil soul masters ascend to Godhood. This was because she would feel an intense wave of fear and panic through her veins every time she thought of an evil soul master ascending to Godhood. She had a premonition since earlier due to her cultivation base. There was no doubt that mankind would be plunged into misery and suffering if evil soul masters were to ascend to Godhood.

She had not sensed that her godson had already completely disappeared at this moment from the room next to her.

What a pleasant feeling it was when the gentle soul power radiated throughout his entire body. The heat he felt earlier seemed to have turned into a portion of his soul power. His cultivation base continued to elevate higher as if it had broken through a small barrier. He felt comfortable all over his body.

Even though he had not engaged in a deep meditation state, he could still enter the realm of forgetting the world and himself completely while immersing in this comfortable sensation.

However, he was completely unaware that he had already arrived in another place at this moment.

It was a magnificent-looking huge room. The enormous room was extravagantly decorated in pink and golden color. He was seated on a large bed. On the surface of the large bed, the faint silver runes were dimming down.

In this huge room that was over three hundred square meters, there was only one person other than Tang Wulin.

She anxiously looked at the man before herself. She felt greatly relieved for the first step was finally completed.

She carefully released the canopy of the bed to conceal everything on the bed. Then, she got down from the bed and exhaled a long breath of relief.

The plan to board the train before getting a ticket was about to enter its critical stage!
