Spirit Hunting, Extermination (3)

Ning Fengzhi spoke up,

"Your Majesty, in this world, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. Spirit Hall has extinguished two great sects. Star Luo Empire has definitely received the news. I don't believe that they wouldn't feel fearful after learning of it. Cooperation is inevitable. Moreover, Grandmaster meaning isn't only to collaborate with Star Luo Empire. We still lack powers, we must as far as possible attract free Spirit Masters to join our side. Then we can gradually reverse the unfavorable situation."

Grandmaster lowered his voice:

"If I guess correctly, before too long, Spirit Hall will move to some extent. They've successively attacked the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. It's only one step further to consolidate their position in the Spirit Master world, increasing their influence and control. We must also move."

Emperor Xue Ye said:

"I understand your meaning. But how do we attract Spirit Masters? Do you two have any suggestions?"

Grandmaster's eyes revealed a heartfelt sadness,

"The sect being destroyed, my heart is still in disorder, I must beg Your Majesty's pardon. I'm unable to help you put forward plans. But please don't worry, I will do my utmost to train the Spirit Masters of our side. I'll have them ready to be thrown into battle as soon as possible."

Emperor Xue Ye pondered, and said:

"This shouldn't be delayed. We'll negotiate a dispatch as soon as possible."

Due to Spirit Hall's movements, the entire Heaven Dou Empire shifted in a short time, relaxing the outside and tightening the inside. As for what kind of strategies the empire enacted against the crisis brought on by Spirit Hall, only the top echelons knew. Just like Grandmaster and Ning Fengzhi estimated, the Star Luo Empire also began to quietly move.

And at the same time, Spirit Hall issued a declaration, strongly condemning the murderers that extinguished the two great sects, but simultaneously also raised that the positions of the seven great sects were decades old. Now that the Clear Sky Sect shunned the world, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were destroyed, they proposed that the seven great sect ranking would be reevaluated, sorted by military force. They gave all the currently existing sects one year to prepare. In one year, all the Continent's sects could sign up to participate in a seven great sect grand tournament, establishing a new seven great sects and ranking them according to strength.

The dissemination of this news immediately raised a tempest in the Spirit Master world. Everyone knew what the seven great sects meant, if they could enter those ranks, that would be an enormous advantage to recruiting Spirit Masters and lead to all kinds of benefits. Who didn't wish they were able to reach these ranks? There was only one year to prepare, and practically more than eighty percent of the sects in the two great empires all mobilized.

As for what the release of Spirit Hall's statement implied, only they themselves knew best.

But Tang San, on his way to the Star Dou Great Forest, knew none of this.

...

Star Dou Great Forest.

Looking at the verdant and lush, abundantly green vast forest in front of him, Tang San couldn't help having his mood improve greatly. Breathing deeply of the fresh and clean air, his heart had long ago flown to Xiao Wu's side.

Five years had passed, but that beautiful silhouette had never grown indistinct in his heart, on the contrary growing clearer and clearer along with the passage of time. Just like Ning Rongrong who buried her feelings in cultivation, Tang San could also only temporarily put that figure out of his mind in the most bitter cultivation.

'Xiao Wu, it's been five years, are you well? I can finally come for you.'

Moved, excited, and even a bit nervous, Tang San finally strode into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Stepping into the forest was like entering a different world. Through his formidable spirit force sense, Tang San could distinctly discover some spirit beasts of varying strength in his surroundings. He of course wouldn't go casually slaughtering, and opened the Clear Sky Hammer's Deathgod Domain. With him as the center, it spread in a thirty meter radius.

The ice cold killing intent frightened those ten year or hundred year level spirit beasts to scatter in all directions, it was naturally impossible for them to cause any trouble for Tang San.

Tang San was no longer the model of diligent study of the past. Right now, he already completely possessed the strength to exist in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if he encountered some powerful spirit beasts, relying on the two great domains as well as the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone's flight ability, he could still run away.

However, he didn't choose to use flight to move through the Star Dou Great Forest. It wasn't because his flying would consume large amounts of spirit power, on the contrary, the Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone's own power let him consume a practically negligible amount while flying. However, Tang San had studied with Grandmaster for many years, and he very clearly understood that with countless formidable spirit beasts within this vast spirit beast forest, if he flew, he would undoubtedly be the target of multitudes of arrows. That might be dangerous. He still wasn't strong to the degree that he didn't have to fear being surrounded and mobbed by large amounts of spirit beasts.

Star Dou Great Forest, no matter if it was its geography or its location and area, all suited the growth and cultivation of spirit beasts. It was just because of this that the spirit beast population within the Star Dou Great forest had fairly high quantity and quality.

Back when Tang San originally came here, the Shrek Academy's teachers didn't dare bring them deep inside, for fear that they would encounter troubles. Just like this, they still ran into that super spirit beast, the Titan Giant Ape, as well as later the thousand year Man Faced Demon Spider Tang San killed and received its spirit ring and the Eight Spider Lances. This showed that this was a place where crisis and benefits coexisted side by side.

Tang San of course didn't know just where Xiao Wu was in this vast forest. He couldn't always search each corner of the Star Dou Great Forest, that was basically unrealistic. Therefore, he could only search according to his Teacher's instructions.

Grandmaster once said that, generally speaking, within a spirit beast forest, the more formidable the spirit beast, the closer to the center of the forest they would live. Consequently, to search for Xiao Wu he had to look in the deepest parts of the forest. To Tang San, the risk of running into danger was basically nothing compared to the urge to see Xiao Wu.

Due to not having to search, only heading in a straight line inside, Tang San didn't delay. He didn't need to worry about losing his way here either. The blue silver grass within the forest was his best guide, he only needed to release the Blue Silver Domain and communicate with the blue silver grass, and could naturally find the most proper way. If it wasn't for Star Dou Great Forest being so large that he was unable to connect to all the blue silver grass, he would only have needed to rely on the information from the blue silver grass to find Xiao Wu.

Just like this, Tang San walked extremely quickly into the Star Dou Great Forest for a full day.

Nightfall, Tang San had found a relatively high area to stop, a day of rushing also left him somewhat tired.

Blue Silver Domain opened up, and along with a light blue halo spreading out from him, very soon the surrounding blue silver grass was emitting an excited and cheerful mood. A fantastic scene appeared. The blue silver grass around Tang San suddenly grew swiftly, very soon growing to three meters tall, the thick leaves of grass starting to tangle with each other, concentrating, and through connecting with each other they constructed a solid house around their emperor.

With blue silver grass visible all over the Continent, while Blue Silver Domain might not be the most powerful domain, it was certainly the most practical. This was something no other domain could compare to.

Just as Tang San prepared to eat some of the rations he carried and then rest, he sensed a particular aura in the information suddenly transmitted to him from the blue silver grass.

That was an unfamiliar feeling he had never felt before. Common blue silver grass only had the lowest intelligence, and could only make Tang San sense their changes through their mood. This time was no exception, however, Tang San still felt a kind of nervousness and defiance in the mood.

Of course, such a mood wouldn't be defying him, the Blue Silver Emperor. To be able to make the blue silver grass feel so nervous, and even somewhat fearful, just what was it?

A formidable spirit beast? No, shouldn't be. The Star Dou Great Forest was after all a spirit beast forest, the spirit beasts here had already lived for tens of thousands of years, and the blue silver grass would naturally already be accustomed to their presence. To make the blue silver grass feel nervous and defiant, it was inevitably a strange creature, or perhaps, humans.
