Chapter 40 - Chapter 40 - Letter

The Star Crown Sect had returned to its previous calm, but there was a bit of tension in that calm. All members above the Soul Sage level who could spare the time went to the back mountain to practice under the Star Tree.

Everyone was centered around Xu Mingxi, the fourth soul ring was lit, and the starlight connected everyone into a single entity.

Star-seeking vines stretched out from the star tree, staring at Xu Mingxi below and sighing inwardly, this boy's interest in starlight increased again, and the moonlight essence contained in it also increased.

The few years that Xu Mingxi missed were just the napping period for soul beings, especially plant-type soul beings.

Old Teng hadn't expected that the moment he woke up, Xu Mingxi had undergone such a huge change. He could actually feel an inexplicable attraction from him. This was the first time in many years.

When the practicing people dispersed the next day, Old Teng finally couldn't help it and rushed in front of Xu Mingxi.

"My, what have you been doing all these years? Why do I feel drawn to you?"

"Mr. Teng, long time no see. How have you been lately?"

Xu Mingxi stood up, and the Star Crown Martial Spirit appeared. Among the three brilliant gems in the center, the gem on the left sparkled with a silvery white color.

The sixth pitch-black soul ring flashed, and Elder Teng suddenly felt a solemn and deadly atmosphere pervade the mountain peak. There was actually moonlight shining in the sky in broad daylight.

What Mr. Teng felt from the moonlight was not tenderness and vitality, but only boundless killing desire.

"Mr. Teng, be careful."

The sixth soul skill, the Silver Moon Sutra.

Wisps of moonlight floated like willow flowers, graceful and beautiful, but Old Teng felt a slight threat from above. Some vines extended from the Star Tree, trying to sweep away the moonlight.

The vines were hard on the surface and flexible on the inside, but they were shattered into pieces by the seemingly weak moonlight. The seemingly endless moonlight gathered into a torrent and flowed towards the old vine.

Some vines stretched out from the star tree again. These vines were thicker and covered by starlight.

Moonlight flowed on the surface of the vines, but was unable to break their defenses.

Xu Mingxi retracted his soul skill and bowed to Lord Teng.

"Lord Teng, forgive me for being rude. My sixth spirit ring was taken from a howling moon wolf that was nearly 20,000 years old. After absorbing this spirit ring, my martial soul has undergone tremendous changes. The moonlight is also under my control."

"Really? Moonlight can also be controlled? Maybe you really can do it."

Master Teng muttered under his breath, and before Xu Mingxi could hear clearly and was about to ask, he shrank back into the star tree.

Although Xu Mingxi had now become a young sect leader, all he needed to do now was train and continue to improve his strength.

His greatest contribution to the sect would be to play the role of a starlight guide and moonlight essence modifier here.

The people of the Star Crown Sect were used to practicing at night, and during the day, they rested from their training.

Xu Mingxi defeated all his peers at the training ground, and even Xu Mingguang was defeated by him.

He used his true talent and strength to prove that he deserved the position of Young Sect Leader.

As a result, Xu Mingguang broke through level 60 in battle and went to the Star Dou Great Forest accompanied by the three elders.

Within half a year, Xu Mingxi's soul force level had reached level 69. He wanted to reach level 70 immediately and become a Soul Saint in one go, but a letter messed up his plans.

When he finished practicing as usual and was about to go to the training ground to practice, Xu Fangxing who was guarding the back mountain stopped him and said that the sect leader wanted to see him about something.

Xu Mingxi came to the sect leader's hall and took the letter handed over by the sect leader. A dark green snake symbol was clearly printed on the white letter.

Could this be...?   

Sure enough, when I opened it, it was a letter from Dugu Xin.

"My friend Mingxi, it's nice to meet you in person. How have you been lately?....

My father and I have found the cure, and now we're living in the Sunset Forest.

...

There's one more thing I need to ask you. My father made rapid progress a few days ago, and I would like to invite the elders from your sect to come and help."

The sect leader read the letter when he received it, and waited until Xu Mingxi put it down before speaking directly.

"Dugu Bo should have already reached level 90. We should show up this time. It's the best time to befriend him."

Yes, the importance of the ninth soul ring was self-evident, but Xu Mingxi was more concerned with what it said in the letter that they lived in the Sunset Forest.

Did this mean Dugu Bo had found the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire? This was the most important thing.

If all the magic herbs that grew in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire were utilized, it would be nothing less than a sublimation for the Star Crown Sect.

If it is indeed found, then some things can be put on the agenda.

Thinking of a family under Clear Sky Sect, killing intent flashed in Xu Mingxi's eyes. If he couldn't get what he wanted, he didn't mind stirring up strife and starting a killing spree.

"Master, let grandpa go with me this time."

"Alright, let's go with Elder Nine."

The three of them packed up and prepared to leave. Dugu Xin, who had been waiting for news in the Tiandou Imperial Capital, saw the letter in his hand and felt overjoyed.

She entered and saw her father who was standing on the stage concentrating on making medicine. She did not disturb him but waited for him to stop what he was doing before handing over the letter.

"Alright, alright, they've agreed. Xiner, let's leave now and return to the Sunset Forest."

Dugu Bo was overjoyed holding the letter. Good things had happened one after another in the past few years. Not only had the problems that had plagued the family for years been solved, but he had also managed to break through level 90 and would become the first Titled Douluo in the Dugu family.

People were excited when good things happened. Dugu Bo was now in high spirits. With a wave of his hand, he directly took his son to the Sunset Forest, there earlier he had found some soul beasts that were very suitable to become his ninth soul ring.

The Dugu Mansion carriage sped away leaving Tiandou City, but the excited Dugu Bo didn't notice that a disciple wearing a light blue sect uniform with a seven-tiered pagoda painted on it was rushing back to the sect.

Ning Fengzhi listened to his disciple's report, let him go first, and spoke to himself in front of the empty seat next to him.

"Uncle Gu, are you sure what you found before is true?"

"It can't be wrong. The aura that Dugu Bo emitted back then must have reached the Titled Douluo level."

A black hole appeared in the void, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong wearing exquisite clothes walked out of the hole.

When she was walking around in Heaven Dou City earlier, she happened to hear some movement in the Dugu family. Out of curiosity, she observed from the sky.

I thought it was just an ordinary explosion in a drug experiment, but I didn't expect that the aura Dugu Bo revealed had reached the level of Titled Douluo.

Ning Fengzhi crossed her arms, tapped the ground with her staff, and stared at the darkness outside the door, as if she was thinking about something.

He reached level 90 but did not invite any forces in Heaven Dou City to help him acquire the spirit ring. Was it because no one was invited, or had he already invited other forces outside of Heaven Dou City?
