*Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye!*

Since Dugu Bo brought Dugu Yan and Wang Li back here, they had once again returned to their routine of seclusion.

Dugu Bo practiced daily, using his Earth-attributed soul power to slowly force in his Poison-attributed soul power, aiming to create a pure poison pill. This method was designed to improve his cultivation and refine his poison attribute.

Dugu Yan was equally determined to grow stronger. Using the highly toxic concoctions she had made, she would ingest them once, and after a dozen or so days of cultivation, her soul power would advance rapidly. She then repeated this cycle, fully taking advantage of her martial soul talent.

Wang Li, on the other hand, focused on studying his martial soul and soul power. At this time, when he observed his dantian, within the viscous soul power that resembled mercury, a Blue Silver Emperor was absorbing and releasing this energy. With each intake and exhalation, the soul power subtly changed, becoming more vibrant and full of life.

After absorbing the seventh soul ring and becoming a Soul Saint, in certain respects, even when activating the origin of his martial soul, the changes between his martial soul and soul power were likely due to these developments.

He wasn't sure if this new soul power could be classified as the high-level energy of life soul power, but it was undoubtedly his unique Blue Silver soul power.

Wang Li speculated that as his strength continued to grow, and his martial soul evolved further, this Blue Silver soul power would naturally evolve into that higher-tier energy.

So, he deliberately focused on accelerating the process, utilizing the principle of spirals to attempt compressing his soul power. Once he gained enough experience, he would be able to solidify it into a tangible form.

*Meanwhile, at Spirit Hall in the Spirit Hall City, the Pope's Palace!*

Sitting high on the throne, dressed in an opulent purple and gold ceremonial robe, holding a scepter in one hand and placing the other on her abdomen, the regal Bibi Dong radiated grace and authority.

She gazed at Hu Liena, who knelt with her head lowered, and a flicker of softness passed through her eyes. However, her words were unyielding as she calmly said:

"Nana, why did you ask Elder Ju to bring you back from the Mysterious Abyss? If you want to say you've repented and wish to escape punishment, then don't speak."

"No!"

At this moment, Hu Liena raised her head, locking eyes with Bibi Dong. Her gaze was firm as she spoke:

"Master, I never intended to evade punishment. We suffered a crushing defeat in the Soul Master Tournament, bringing shame upon Spirit Hall. This is a debt we can never repay, no matter how many times we die."

"The disgrace can only be washed away with blood. I will challenge that person again in the future, but the trials in the Mysterious Abyss aren't enough for me to rapidly improve."

"Therefore, I want to go to the place you once visited—the City of Slaughter. Only in a life-or-death situation can I transcend myself and rapidly increase my strength."

The memory of the Soul Master Tournament still made Hu Liena shiver. She had used her proud fifth soul skill, but not only did she fail to control Wang Li, she had been backfired to the point where her spirit almost collapsed.

Without going to the City of Slaughter and tempering her will, she feared she wouldn't even have the courage to face Wang Li again. But how could she wash away her shame and Spirit Hall's disgrace without defeating Wang Li?

Bibi Dong was first stunned, then hesitated. Having emerged from the City of Slaughter herself, she knew well what kind of place it was. In her eyes, Hu Liena might not even make it back alive.

However, Bibi Dong wasn't weak-hearted. Her face grew serious, and she asked again:

"Nana, do you understand where you want to go? I've told you about it before. In many ways, the City of Slaughter is a prison for fallen soul masters. It's a place full of ruthless and evil individuals, devoid of humanity and driven only by their desires."

"Entering is easy, but leaving is difficult. Are you certain you want to go there to train? You will die there."

Hu Liena's face turned pale, but she still nodded with determination:

"Master, I am willing to go to the City of Slaughter."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong didn't say any more. She nodded and agreed:

"Since you are determined, then go. In the next six months, I will arrange battle training for you without using soul skills. After six months, I will take you to the City of Slaughter."

Hu Liena lowered her head and said, 

"Thank you, Master!"

After speaking, she voluntarily withdrew from the hall.

Inside the grand hall, only Bibi Dong remained. She fell into deep thought.

Although Wang Li had truly impressed her, he didn't occupy her full attention. As the only soul master in ten thousand years to have embarked on the path to godhood, Bibi Dong had her own pride.

She hadn't paid as much attention to Wang Li as she had to Tang San. After all, Tang San was the son of Tang Hao and the disciple of Yu Xiaogang.

Bibi Dong, thinking of Tang Hao's reemergence, and the fact that his son, Tang San, was also Yu Xiaogang's disciple, thought to herself: 

"Rebellious individuals are emerging one after another. I must speed up my steps. The Soul Hunting Plan must be put into action, and everything will be restarted to create a clean world."

"Qian Renxue has truly disappointed me. She hasn't even completed the plan to usurp the throne. I should hurry her along before she truly starts thinking of herself as the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou."

---

Not long later, in Heaven Dou City, at the Crown Prince's Mansion!

After finishing his training in the secret chamber, Xue Qinghe stepped out, and two towering figures appeared behind him. Xue Qinghe wasn't particularly surprised by their presence.

"Elder Cixue, Elder She Long, what brings you here?"

At these words, She Long spoke in a deep voice: 

"Young Master, the Pope has sent a message, hoping you can expedite your actions."

Xue Qinghe furrowed his brows. Given that the Snow Night Emperor was still in his prime, the implication of this message was clear: he was being asked to act swiftly, to remove the Snow Night Emperor and take control of the entire Heaven Dou Empire.

This urgency was troublesome; if anything went wrong, all the efforts of the past decade or more could be ruined.

Xue Qinghe was already in a foul mood due to the slow progress in his cultivation as an undercover agent. Seeing Wang Li and Dugu Yan—whose talent wasn't as great as his own, and whose cultivation wasn't faster than his—he felt a deep sense of envy. They could fully dedicate themselves to training, and it frustrated him.

Now, Bibi Dong was pushing him to act even faster. This only aggravated his anger. After a brief moment of contemplation, he calmly said:

"Elder Cixue, I need you to return and make sure the poison is chosen carefully. It must be colorless, tasteless, and undetectable. It should cause the person to gradually weaken, their blood and vitality draining over two to three years, ultimately leading to their death."

"As for me, I will accelerate my training to break through to level 70, absorb a soul ring, and become a Soul Saint. With absolute strength, I will ensure my position is secure and eliminate all risks."

With those words, the two elders, Cixue Douluo and She Long, both responded in unison: 

"As you command!"

---

Everyone's steps were accelerating, and before long, six months had passed!

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, Wang Li was in the spring's waters, cultivating. He had now reached a critical point in his progress.

All the soul power within his body had completely transformed into Blue Silver Soul Power. Not only had its quality improved, but it had also fully fused into one entity.

Seizing the opportunity, Wang Li began to gather the energy into a spiral, compressing the soul power. In his dantian, a massive whirlpool had formed.

At the center of the whirlpool was his martial soul—the Blue Silver Emperor. All of the Blue Silver Soul Power had been absorbed and refined by the Blue Silver Emperor, merging together. The soul power he had cultivated on his own, the soul power from absorbing his soul rings, and the soul power from absorbing soul bones… all had fused into one.

As a result, with the Blue Silver Emperor at the core, and under constant compression, his soul power had transformed into a semi-liquid, semi-solid state. It hadn't completely solidified yet, as the pressure didn't seem to be enough.

Wang Li had a sudden insight in his heart: 

"Blue Silver Domain, embracing all rivers!"

The ultimate secret of the Blue Silver Domain! Wang Li had obtained the Blue Silver Domain long ago, and after multiple evolutions, when his martial soul advanced to the Blue Silver Emperor, he was already at the rank of Soul Saint. This allowed him to smoothly master the ultimate principle of the Blue Silver Domain.

At this moment, the Blue Silver Domain expanded, nearly covering the entire Sunset Forest. All the Blue Silver Grass could sense Wang Li's condition and dutifully offered their power.

Countless blue light spots drifted towards the direction of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. Under the unified will of all the Blue Silver Grass in the forest, the other soul beasts within the forest all knelt, feeling a boundless terror.

Above the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye, a vast blue ocean formed, which also condensed into a whirlpool. At the center of the whirlpool, a blue light pillar shot out with a loud rumble, piercing through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye and landing directly on Wang Li.

With the immense energy drawn from the "embracing all rivers" principle, Wang Li's soul power, spiritual power, and life essence all experienced a significant boost. The crucial point was that, under this massive energy surge, his semi-liquid, semi-solid soul power began to further solidify.

The process was slow, but it never halted for a moment. A full day and night passed.

By the end of this period, Wang Li's soul power had completely solidified. Inside his dantian, there was an irregularly shaped crystal, about the size of a human head. In the center of the crystal, the Blue Silver Emperor was growing, radiating boundless life energy.

Don't underestimate this crystal. Wang Li had exhausted his vast, liquid soul power—comparable to an ordinary Titled Douluo's—to finally condense it.

With this crystal, whether in cultivation or battle, the speed of soul power release and recovery would now double compared to before.

"Compared to a Titled Douluo, I'm only missing two soul rings. But when it comes to soul ring configuration, how many people in the world can compare to my five black and two red rings?"

Wang Li felt incredibly satisfied. He also didn't forget the Blue Silver Grass that had helped him condense his solidified soul power. Through the domain, he granted them the gift of life force.

Throughout the entire Sunset Forest, all the Blue Silver Grass experienced accelerated growth, benefiting from the nourishing life energy of the Blue Silver Emperor.

When everything had settled, Wang Li leaped out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye. Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were waiting on the shore.

After landing, seeing their curious expressions, Wang Li smiled lightly and explained: 

"I've broken through to level 74 soul power."

Dugu Bo, slightly puzzled, asked: 

"With the commotion just now, you only broke through one soul power level?"

Wang Li laughed: 

"Not just that. I've also compressed my soul power into a crystal, or rather a Soul Core. In the future, I'll be able to activate and recover soul power much faster."

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were even more puzzled: 

"Crystal? Soul Core?"

Wang Li explained:

"It's the principle of a cyclone, compressing the soul power until it solidifies, transforming into pure energy."

"Also, Grandpa, Sister Yan, I don't want to go into seclusion anymore. I want to go out and challenge powerful opponents to improve my strength."

Dugu Bo nodded. This was something Wang Li had already mentioned. He glanced at Dugu Yan, who was standing beside him.

"Yan Yan, do you want to go with him?"

Of course, Dugu Yan wanted to go. In the past six months, through refining deadly poisons, she had improved her soul power by three levels, reaching level 66. She was only four levels away from level 70.

"Grandpa, I'll go with him!"

Although Dugu Bo had expected this response, it still made him feel a sense of melancholy. He said:

"With your strengths, I don't need to worry about your safety. I won't accompany you this time. Whether you want to challenge strong opponents or just travel around, I'll leave it to you."

"As for me, I'll either be refining the poison beads in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye or at home in Heaven Dou City. If you miss your grandpa, you can come visit anytime."

Wang Li and Dugu Yan felt a bit emotional, but they weren't too heartbroken. After all, they were just going out for a while, not parting for good.

That evening, they had a meal together, rested for the night, and the next day, Wang Li and Dugu Yan left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eye.

Walking through the Sunset Forest, Dugu Yan stretched her graceful figure. As a young woman, she had been in seclusion for over half a year in one place, and she had grown quite bored of it.

Now that they were finally going out, she felt thrilled. She linked her arm with Wang Li's and asked with a playful tone:

"Xiao Li, where do you want to go first?"

Wang Li thought for a moment and then replied:

"I want to challenge strong opponents, so the first one is important. I'll approach them openly and directly, making it a fair challenge."

"As for the first stop, let's go to the Elephant Armor Sect. Tianxiang Huyan Zhen, with his tough skin and immense strength, will be a perfect sparring partner."

Dugu Yan was surprised: 

"Huyan Zhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, is only a Soul Douluo, but his strength and defense are nearly comparable to an ordinary Titled Douluo. Xiao Li, could it be a bit dangerous?"

Wang Li smiled confidently and replied: 

"Not dangerous. I don't aim for a light fight; only intense battles can lead to greater improvement."

Hearing this, Dugu Yan trusted him. After spending so much time together, she knew how strong Wang Li had become.

Although the first stop was the Elephant Armor Sect, Wang Li and Dugu Yan didn't go straight there. Whenever they passed through a city, they would stop.

They wandered, ate, and bought clothes…

They bought both regular clothes and more playful ones, especially many pieces of lingerie, which Wang Li found quite amusing for evening wear.

However, the quality wasn't great, perhaps because Wang Li was too strong, and those lingerie items turned out to be one-time use only. They would break the same day they were worn.

After half a month of traveling, Wang Li and Dugu Yan finally arrived at the entrance of the Elephant Armor Sect.

As one of the seven major sects in the world of Soul Masters, the Elephant Armor Sect had a grand entrance, occupying nearly an entire mountaintop.

Two towering stone pillars, about thirty meters high, supported a massive archway, with the words "Elephant Armor Sect" written in bold, flowing script.

Beneath the arch, two rows of guards stood, each over two meters tall, giving off a strong, intimidating presence.

They stopped Wang Li, but Wang Li, with a clear voice, said: 

"I'm Wang Li, here with my girlfriend Dugu Yan, to pay our respects to the sect and challenge Sect Master Huyan for a friendly sparring match!"
