As soon as the scroll took shape, it erupted into an unparalleled roar, as if announcing its own birth.

"Boom!"

Immediately after, the scroll unfurled, releasing an incredibly dazzling rainbow light that pierced through the Soul Device Manufacturing Chamber, spreading across the entire sky of the primal sanctuary! At that moment, almost all members of the Shui Clan witnessed the phenomenon in the sky, and many figures quickly ascended, eager to see what was happening.

But soon, the sky underwent rapid changes, transitioning from a rainbow glow to a deep azure, then to a crimson hue, emanating countless terrifying auras of slaughter.

"Wu!—"

Then, horn blasts akin to those from ancient times resounded, warhorses pulling golden chariots flew from the sky, accompanied by countless cries of agony, the sounds were piercing and heart-wrenching.

The Shui Clan experts who had just ascended into the air were frozen in place by the terrifying spiritual power diffusing from the sky, their bodies completely stiff in mid-air!

"It's an illusion!"

In an instant, a formidable aura of a Super Douluo erupted from within the Shui Clan, followed by the sudden ascent of an elderly figure into the air, intending to wield soul power to shatter the illusion that appeared in this space.

This person is none other than Shui Zongnan, a level 97 super Douluo from the Shui family.

However, in the critical moment, Shui Wuya sensed the changes and swiftly grabbed the scroll, closing it before its power could fully unleash!

"Boom!"

In the blink of an eye, with a final roar, the phenomenon that had not yet fully manifested in the Shui Clan's sky vanished into nothingness.

The several Shui Clan experts who had been frozen in mid-air regained their freedom of movement.

"Did we succeed?"

Dream Ice silkworm blinked her large eyes, walking to Shui Wuya's side and looking at the scroll in his hand, her eyes filled with incredulity.

"Of course, we did."

Shui Wuya smiled, reaching out to pat Dream Ice Silkworm's head.

Now is not the time to use the Soul Device; its full splendor will be revealed at the Shui Clan's coming-of-age ceremony.

Shui Wuya put away the Level Nine Soul Device scroll and swiftly exited the Soul Device Temple with the four great Soul Spirits.

As the group arrived outside the temple, Shui Zongnan, who had ascended into the air earlier, landed in front of Shui Wuya, intending to report the earth-shattering changes that had just occurred.

However, before Shui Zongnan could speak, Shui Wuya preemptively interjected.

"Don't worry, I was just refining a ninth-grade soul device," Shui Wuya said lightly, acknowledging Shui Zongnan's status as his nephew based on seniority and family contributions.

Upon hearing this, Shui Zongnan's pupils instantly dilated.

Although he had sensed Shui Wuya's extraordinariness when he returned to the Shui Clan earlier, he had not expected Shui Wuya to be a ninth-grade soul engineer!

"The clan leader is young and talented; I was too presumptuous," Shui Zongnan said after a moment, laughing heartily, and then left gracefully.

As the news spread, soon the entire Shui Clan learned the truth, realizing that the anomaly that had occurred earlier was caused by their clan leader, Shui Wuya, refining soul devices.

With admiration for Shui Wuya growing in their hearts, the Shui Clan members resumed their normal lives.

Not long after, Shui Wuya, accompanied by his five major soul spirits, arrived at a recently constructed square.

It was twilight, and most of the Shui Clan members were in a state of relaxation. Soul spirits emitting various colors could be seen scattered around the square.

The Shui Clan's tradition of inheriting soul spirits ensured that every clan member had soul spirits accompanying their soul rings.

"That little white tiger is so cute!"

"Look, there's even an ice-blue scorpion over there. It seems much gentler than the Ice Emperor!"

Octagon and Dream, upon seeing their fellow soul spirits, instantly lost the fatigue on their faces and hurriedly approached, touching this one and examining that one, behaving very lively.

They had previously seen the nine major soul spirits of Shui Yuanchen, but like Shui Yuanchen himself, those nine major soul spirits were all formidable beings of slaughter.

Even the Ice Emperor, who once possessed a cultivation of four hundred thousand years, would instinctively choose to retreat when faced with the nine major soul spirits of Shui Yuanchen due to the overwhelming killing intent emanating from them.

"Where did Snow Emperor go?"

While Dream, Octagon, and other soul spirits were frolicking, the Ice Emperor suddenly inquired about the whereabouts of the Snow Emperor.

"She's over there with that old turtle," Evil Eye responded abruptly, his gaze slowly turning towards the direction of the newly constructed gate of the Shui Clan.

There, a three-zhang ice tortoise emitting a faint white glow all over its body lay quietly on a giant rock.

Sitting on the tortoise's back was a girl, her hands resting on the tortoise shell, her feet swaying gently in the air, a rare sense of leisure on her face.

"Snow Emperor, humans are a complex group. Some human soul masters may appear righteous, shouting to protect soul beasts, but secretly engage in killing soul beasts everywhere."

"Some human soul masters exude a murderous aura, but they do not take pleasure in killing soul beasts. Do you understand this principle?"

Soon after, the old turtle's voice sounded leisurely. He had been acquainted with the Snow Emperor for many years and understood her aversion to humans.

Upon hearing this, the Snow Emperor remained silent, but inadvertently, a smile appeared on her face.

Time flew by, and another month passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, various constructions in the Shui Clan were mostly completed. On this day, all Shui Clan members involved in the construction gathered in the main hall of the clan leader, eagerly reporting the results of the reconstruction to Shui Wuya.

"Reporting to the clan leader, the Construction of the Temple of Punishment has been completed. Shui Jianfeng respectfully invites the clan leader to inspect the Temple of Punishment!"

"Reporting to the clan leader, the Construction of the Temple of Soul Spirits has been completed. Shui Changqing respectfully invites the clan leader to inspect the Temple of Soul Spirits!"

"..."

The masters of various halls clamored to speak, and the atmosphere in the main hall was extremely lively.

Shui Wuya sat on the clan leader's throne, scrutinizing the more than ten hall masters of the Shui Clan, a calm smile on his face, feeling very satisfied with the speed of reconstruction.

Among them, what particularly caught his attention was the Temple of Soul Spirits of the Shui Clan! The Temple of Soul Spirits was specifically used by the Shui Clan to cultivate soul spirits. There were two methods of cultivation: one was to let the soul spirits cultivate during the millennia, using the soul spirit techniques created by the generations of powerful individuals of the Shui Clan.

The second method involves allowing soul spirits to engage in frequent battles within the specially constructed combat arena in the Temple of Soul Spirits, thereby rapidly gaining combat experience!

This approach can help soul spirits that are originally not very aggressive to quickly acquire powerful combat capabilities.

"Octagon and Dream, it's time for some real training," Water Wuya thought to himself. Among the five major soul spirits he possessed, Octagon and Dream Ice Silkworms could be said to have almost no attack power.

Clearly, this was not advantageous for future battles.

"To the Temple of Soul Spirits!"

Shortly thereafter, Shui Wuya made up his mind to let Octagon and Dream Ice Silkworms undergo some combat training in the Temple of Soul Spirits!

...

On this day, Shrek City was unusually lively.

The number of people was more than ten times higher than usual, and a large number of soul masters flew through the sky. Soul masters who were originally scattered across various regions could be seen everywhere in the city.

The reason was simple: when news of the imminent emergence of the Shui Clan spread across the continent, Shrek Academy invited all the prominent forces in the world to gather in Shrek City.

Even the StarluoEmpire and the Sun-Moon Empire, who were at war, temporarily ceased hostilities and sent representatives to Shrek City because of this matter.

"Open the city gates to all faction forces. Allow entry without obstruction!"

"Immediately inform the Sea God Pavilion that the envoy of the Starluo Empire has arrived at the academy!"

"The Sea God Pavilion has issued orders: Shrek Academy will suspend classes today, and all students are to remain quiet and on standby!"

A solemn and warm atmosphere pervaded Shrek Academy, with various commands being relayed one after another.
