After Dugu Yan absorbed the Fourth Soul Ring, the group didn't linger.
Leaving the Poisonous Swamp, they once again boarded the carriage.
The journey back to Heaven Dou City was long, and at the speed of the carriage, it was estimated to take nearly two months.
Fortunately, the group wasn't in a hurry. After a simple route plan, they set off on their journey to Heaven Dou City.
Xu Yang sat in the carriage, flipping through the huge map in front of him. It was obtained from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and contained almost every place on the entire continent. After absorbing the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew this time, his Spiritual Power had reached the Soul Douluo level, and his memory was far better than before, with his memories from his previous life even clearer.
"I didn't expect the Douluo Continent to have four seas. If I remember correctly, according to the original work's setting, the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent together account for thirty percent of the entire Douluo Star Continent, with the remaining seventy percent being ocean."
"As for Seagod Island, it should be located in the West Sea area. With such a large area, did the Seagod really unify the entire ocean back then, or just the West Sea!"
Looking at Hanhai City on the westernmost side of the Heaven Dou Empire on the map, Xu Yang fell into deep thought.
You don't know until you look, and once you look, you get a shock. The original work only described a small part of the Douluo Continent's area, and most of the area was unknown, especially the other three seas, as well as the south and east of the continent.
They were currently in the Nia Kingdom, which was one of the subordinate kingdoms of the Star Luo Empire. It wasn't large, but its economy was good. It was close to the South Sea and belonged to the south of the continent. The landform here was completely different from that of the Heaven Dou Empire, more like a tropical rainforest climate.
The air humidity was high, the temperature was suitable, and the sunlight was also very good.
Thinking about how many Titled Douluo in Douluo II had hundred thousand year Soul Rings, could it be that these hundred thousand year Soul Beasts were hidden in other areas?
Especially the islands in the sea. If they were uninhabited islands, the Soul Beasts on them, apart from natural enemies, could almost be said to be living without competition, making it easy for them to become hundred thousand year Soul Beasts. Within the sea, there were more hundred thousand year Soul Beasts than one could imagine.
And in Douluo II, because of the merger of the Sun Moon Empire, the level of Soul Tools was very high, giving them the ability to explore the sea.
"Xu Yang, what are you thinking about?!"
Dugu Yan, who was sitting next to him, asked curiously, seeing Xu Yang staring at the map the whole time.
"It's nothing, I was just wondering what's on the other side of the sea!" Xu Yang reacted and smiled at Dugu Yan.
"You brat, you can't be too curious about the sea, the danger in it is far stronger than you imagine. The Upper Three Sects and the two great empires have thought about exploring the sea, but very few people have returned, even Sea Soul Masters are the same!" Seeing Xu Yang curious about the sea, Gu Rong advised.
"Why, Bone Grandfather?!"
"Because of Sea Soul Beasts, especially in areas far from the mainland, where there are more Sea Soul Beasts and they are stronger. Without knowing the sea routes, wanting to find a relatively safe route can only be done by risking your life.
But the two great empires paid the price of thousands of Soul Masters and nearly ten thousand soldiers, but only obtained a very short route. Seeing this, the people in charge of the two great empires believed that exploring the ocean was not worth it, so they all gave up.
A long time ago, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also thought about going to sea, but the final results were the same!"
Hearing Gu Rong's explanation, Xu Yang fell silent. The types and number of Soul Beasts in the sea were far more than on land, and there were very few intelligent creatures like humans, so the overall strength of Sea Soul Beasts was many times stronger than that of land. Moreover, there were also ferocious and tyrannical Evil Soul Beasts like the Deep Sea Demon Whale and the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale, making the sea indeed very dangerous.
Without ships that could resist Sea Soul Beast attacks, sailing on the sea was just courting death.
So, if he wanted to explore the sea, he would need to be fully prepared, or have a flying vehicle that could fly continuously.
"It seems that the research on Soul Tools needs to be accelerated. After going back this time, I'll give Teacher some advice. We can't just focus on weapon-type Soul Tools, we also need to develop more life-type ones, especially in transportation."
After making up his mind, Xu Yang put down the map and chatted with Dugu Yan to relieve boredom.
After Xu Yang successfully created the Soul Tool and handed it over to Ning Fengzhi, Ning Fengzhi began to cultivate Soul Tool Masters in the sect, manufacturing Soul Tool rays, Soul Tool Thrusters, gravity bracelets, and Soul Tool pistols for the sect, and conducting research based on these.
Because of the appearance of Soul Tools, Ning Fengzhi saw another way out for auxiliary Soul Masters, instead of just hiding in the back as support.
Of course, Xu Yang also whispered a lot in Ning Fengzhi's ear. He understood that if Soul Tools wanted to develop, they had to brainstorm and make the profession competitive. Relying on him alone to reach the sixth-level Soul Tool Master was probably the limit.
Time quickly passed, and a month went by. In this month, besides bickering with Dugu Yan, Xu Yang spent his time consulting Gu Rong and Dugu Bo about cultivation issues, and then practicing his swordsmanship with Ning Haiyan.
Tiancui City, a small town at the junction of Fasinuo Province and the Star Luo Empire, was not a transportation hub like Notting City, so it was lacking in economy, culture, and other aspects. It could be said to be very poor.
"How much longer until we get to Tiancui City! I feel like I'm going to turn sour!" Walking on the muddy road, Dugu Yan complained about the terrible environment outside. She hadn't taken a bath in two days, and no one had expected that the road they had chosen to cross the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire would be so difficult.
"Don't complain, you chose this road yourself!! But we're almost there. At the speed of the carriage, it'll be about an hour!" Xu Yang rolled his eyes helplessly, stared at the map, and gave an approximate time.
"Still that long!"
Dugu Yan leaned against the carriage window, feeling as if she had lost all hope in life.
"Huff! Huff!"
As the carriage moved forward, Xu Yang's nose twitched slightly. He actually smelled a faint scent of blood in the air, and as the carriage advanced, the scent became stronger and stronger. Gu Rong and Dugu Bo, who were sitting in the carriage, didn't care at first, after all, killing and robbing was too normal in the Soul Master world.
But as the carriage moved forward, the two felt that something was wrong, and their brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Haiyan, what's going on outside?!"
"Lord Gu, there's a village not far away, and the bloody smell is coming from there!"
"Go and take a look!"
"Yes!"
Ning Haiyan, who was driving the carriage, directly turned the direction and headed towards the village not far away. Xu Yang also got out of the carriage, sat next to Ning Haiyan, and used his Sun Golden Eyes to look in the direction of the village.
He didn't know until he looked, but he was shocked. In the vision of the Sun Golden Eyes, the village was constantly emitting black, evil energy, which looked extremely strange.
"Evil Soul Master!"
The word instantly popped into Xu Yang's mind.
