Chapter 14: A Meeting of Peerless Beings, The Sky Rends!
While Yun Yuan was refining the whale glue,
Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong pushed open the gates of Yun Yuan's palace and arrived before him.
"Teacher, look, Junior Brother's whole body is turning red. He must have just consumed that whale glue. Later, you must give him a good lesson; you can't let him continue to go astray."
Bibi Dong only noticed Yun Yuan's body flushing red and immediately complained to Qian Xunji.
But Qian Xunji was different; he saw the special changes in Yun Yuan's body.
Then, he directly reached out his hand, covering Bibi Dong's small mouth as she was about to speak further, and whispered a reminder:
"Dong'er, don't disturb your junior brother. This state of his shouldn't be a bad thing."
As time passed and several hours went by, the violent Soul Power in Yun Yuan's body gradually calmed down.
"Phew~"
Opening his eyes, Yun Yuan let out a long breath, but before he could carefully sense the changes in his body, he saw his senior sister and teacher staring intently at him.
"Senior Sister, Teacher, why are you two here?"
Yun Yuan was very puzzled by their arrival. Could it be that they had something important to discuss with him?
Seeing Yun Yuan emerge from his meditation, Bibi Dong pried open Teacher Qian Xunji's hand that had been covering her mouth. Straightening her chest and putting on an air of acting for Yun Yuan's own good, she said to him earnestly:
"Junior Brother, Teacher and I both know about you consuming the whale glue. We've come to lecture you and make you repent immediately."
Hearing this, before Yun Yuan could even retort, Qian Xunji, who was behind Bibi Dong, gave her a flick on the head.
"Dong'er, go to the side for a moment. Don't disturb Teacher and your junior brother. I have some questions to ask him later."
After being flicked by Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong clutched her head and retreated to the side, her large eyes darting back and forth between Yun Yuan and Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji looked at his disciple Yun Yuan, frowning slightly as he voiced his confusion.
"Xiao Yuan, what's the deal with that whale glue? I feel like you've found another use for it."
The sharp-eyed Qian Xunji had sensed the subtle changes in Yun Yuan just now, so he wanted to know the true purpose behind Yun Yuan consuming the whale glue.
"Teacher, as expected of you, your insight is truly unique."
After a brief exclamation, Yun Yuan explained the true effects of the whale glue to Qian Xunji.
"Teacher, although this whale glue is used by Soul Masters and nobles for intimate matters, I was fortunate enough to discover its true utility this past month."
"The whale glue has another crucial effect: it can improve a Soul Master's physical constitution. This way, when absorbing a Soul Ring, they can absorb one with a much higher year limit."
"But it must first undergo pretreatment, using Soul Power flames or high-temperature flames to calcine it until the whale glue softens, becomes translucent, and is free of impurities. Only then will it be effective."
After Yun Yuan finished explaining the whale glue's effects in one breath, Qian Xunji froze for a moment before his eyes filled with excitement and exhilaration.
He never expected the whale glue's utility to be so great. In that case, Spirit Hall could completely monopolize the whale glue industry.
Then, as time passes, the quality of Spirit Hall's geniuses would directly surpass other forces by a large margin.
At this thought, Qian Xunji's breathing grew heavy as a series of plans began to take shape in his mind.
After a long while, he looked at Yun Yuan, wanting to test his disciple's vision and insight.
"Xiao Yuan, in your opinion, how can we maximize Spirit Hall's benefits from the effects of this whale glue?"
Regarding the question posed by Qian Xunji, the corners of Yun Yuan's mouth curled up slightly. He had already thought through Qian Xunji's question the moment he decided to reveal the whale glue's effects.
Then, Yun Yuan laid out his plan.
"Teacher, the first step is to begin collecting and monopolizing whale glues, establishing an industrial chain connecting the ocean and the inland."
"The second step is to delay as much as possible. Everything in this world is eventually exposed. Before other forces can react, we must take the lead in stockpiling massive amounts of whale glues and forming a complete industrial chain."
"The final step is bartering. We sell the whale glues we acquired at the lowest cost for the highest price, giving them a severe fleecing."
After hearing Yun Yuan's plan, Qian Xunji immediately burst into laughter and clapped his hands in applause. This disciple satisfied him immensely.
Yun Yuan's thoughts aligned with Qian Xunji's. Since the whale glue's effects had been discovered, even if Spirit Hall tried their best to keep it for themselves, it would eventually be found out.
What Spirit Hall needed to do was maximize their own interests as much as possible, rather than blindly hiding the whale glue's utility.
Furthermore, Qian Xunji had a deeper thought in mind: to build a reputation for Yun Yuan.
This way, it would not only enhance Spirit Hall's prestige but also allow Yun Yuan to enjoy the world's respect.
Seeing her junior brother and teacher conversing eloquently, a hint of admiration couldn't help but appear in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes.
This junior brother of hers was truly amazing.
Not only was he impeccable in his cultivation talent and attitude, but he also had such achievements in exploring the unknown, discovering a secret that Soul Masters across the whole world had failed to notice.
So incredible!
After testing his disciple, Qian Xunji rushed off to the The Pope's Palace to put the plan into action, leaving only Bibi Dong and Yun Yuan staring at each other.
"Senior Sister, didn't you say just now that you were going to give me a good lecture? What about now?"
Yun Yuan stepped forward with his hands on his hips, looking at Bibi Dong with a smug expression and teasing her.
"Um, Junior Brother, it's because Senior Sister is too stupid. But you are so amazing, Junior Brother; you actually discovered a secret that Soul Masters across the whole continent couldn't find."
Bibi Dong's eyes first showed apology, and then she gazed at Yun Yuan with admiration.
Seeing Bibi Dong respect him so much, Yun Yuan took back the words he had intended to use to mock her for being short-sighted.
As an idol, how could he discourage his little fangirl?
"Mm, naturally. Your junior brother was born to suppress all geniuses of the same era, whether in cultivation or theory."
"Faced with me, Yun Yuan, they can only be second best!"
Yun Yuan clenched his fists, his eyes brimming with confidence.
At this moment, in Bibi Dong's eyes, Yun Yuan seemed to radiate light, like the bright moon hanging high above.
While the other geniuses of the world were merely fireflies beneath the moon.
After this little interlude, a seed named Yun Yuan had been planted in Bibi Dong's heart, which would one day take root and sprout.
After the whale glue incident, Yun Yuan's life returned to its daily routine, with the only difference being that Senior Sister Bibi Dong's visits became more frequent.
Three days later.
In the back mountains of the The Pope's Palace, inside Yun Yuan's palace.
Yun Yuan opened his eyes again, signifying that he had made a new gain.
"Level fifteen. Is this the talent of double the Heaven-Supporting Douluo? The speed of meditative cultivation is truly fast to the extreme!"
In just over a month, his Soul Power level had increased by one. Such a speed of Soul Power improvement would make even geniuses with Innate full soul power stop in their tracks.
If the Yun Yuan from before his talent was doubled only dared to think of breaking through to Titled Douluo before the age of thirty-five,
Then now, with twice the talent of the Heaven-Supporting Douluo, Yun Yuan hoped to reach the same level of achievement as the Heaven-Supporting Douluo by the age of twenty-three.
After all, even with the terrifying talent of people like Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, neither could break through to Titled Douluo before the age of forty-four, which shows the limitations of resources in this era.
As for when Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen broke through to Titled Douluo, Yun Yuan didn't know.
He only knew that decades later, Tang Hao, who broke through to Titled Douluo at forty-four, was hailed as the Soul Master who reached Titled Douluo the fastest on the Douluo Continent.
Calculating backward, the age at which Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen broke through to Titled Douluo should already be forty-four or older.
Just as Yun Yuan was thinking this,
A massive sound of Soul Power colliding suddenly came from outside, echoing throughout the entire Spirit Hall.
"This is... what's going on?!"
Sensing the oppressive aura in the air, Yun Yuan stood up and walked out of the palace.
Once outside, Yun Yuan saw that above Spirit Hall, golden Soul Power and blue Soul Power covered the entire Spirit Hall.
Furthermore, these two terrifyingly extreme Soul Powers, like heavenly might, were colliding fiercely, locked in a stalemate.
"Haha, Brother Qian, I, Tang, have come to visit you today."
A loud boom rang out from the sky as the two different colors of Soul Power collided even more intensely; the weather above Spirit Hall had already been altered by the two.
At the same time, the power of heaven and earth was being invoked as their collision continued.
For Yun Yuan, who had already mastered Spear Momentum, he was absolutely certain that the two people colliding above had reached the legendary'Soul' realm!
All weapons in the world have five major realms: Momentum, Intent, Heart, Soul, and God.
These two colliding high in the air had definitely reached the'Soul' realm, capable of invoking the power of heaven and earth.
In the next moment, something that left Yun Yuan dumbfounded occurred. After the two invoked the power of heaven and earth and collided fiercely, the sky was directly—
Torn apart!!!
