Thinking of this, Huo Yuhao shook his head with a smile and looked at Gu Yuena, who was preparing things in the center of the room.
"Nana, how are the preparations going on Star Dou's side?"
"They're ready, but isn't having more than twenty 100, 000-year soul beasts a bit too much? And that's just from the Star Dou Great Forest. Over in the Extreme North, Snow Emperor has probably arranged a similar number of soul beasts, right?"
Gu Yuena slightly furrowed her brows and smiled helplessly, "Even if we need to forcibly tear through the spatial barrier of the Dragon Tomb and maintain the spatial passage, this number is still too large."
Huo Yuhao shook his head, "We're likely to stay inside for quite some time, so we need to arrange more strong individuals to support the spatial passage."
The Dragon Tomb is a small plane with its own rules, only able to accommodate soul masters below level 50, and within it, soul power cannot be used. Soul masters above level 50 can use soul power, but they will be expelled by the Dragon Tomb.
Both he and Gu Yuena's strength far exceeds this limit. If they want to enter, the only way is to violently break through the spatial barrier. Similar to what Gu Yuena did in the original story, having the fierce beasts, including Di Tian, work together to violently open a spatial passage, holding up the rules of the small plane.
But now, Di Tian and the other fierce beasts are basically branch tower masters. If they leave the Douluo Federation for an extended period, it will definitely attract the attention of various forces, and it will be hard to keep it a secret within the Spirit Pagoda.
It just so happens that the Star Luo Continent is extremely far from the Douluo Continent, and the Dragon Valley is a small world. If they act secretly, a group of branch tower masters and tower master successors disappearing for a few months would cause the entire Spirit Pagoda to explode. The accumulated conflicts between the various factions might all be ignited.
Official important members... this is just the downside.
But now, Ning Fengzhi's suggestion has given them a perfect excuse. Even if they take away some strong individuals, it won't raise suspicions.
A master worried about his disciple's safety, secretly following him to Star Luo, what's the problem?
If they spend too much time in the Dragon Valley, the Holy Spirit Cult and the Star Luo Federation can take the blame for them. The Spirit Pagoda, unable to find them, will have a target to vent their frustrations on, avoiding internal conflicts.
As for what will happen to the Holy Spirit Cult and the Star Luo Federation by then... since they entered the game as the other side wished, the consequences will be for them to bear.
"Di Tian needs to stay in the Douluo Continent to prevent internal members of the Spirit Pagoda from rebelling and causing trouble. Snow Emperor and Bear Lord, due to my relationship with Wu Lin, will naturally leave with us in the eyes of other Spirit Pagoda members. As for Myriad Demon King and the others, it's up to you to arrange. With two Limit Douluo leading and dozens of 100, 000-year soul beasts, supporting the spatial passage should be enough."
Huo Yuhao said, "Don't think it's too much, it's better to be...
"More cautious."
Gu Yuena blinked and chuckled, "If you hadn't reached a cultivation close to a Soul Sage, Yuhao, you probably would have prepared for a while longer, right?"
The plan to go to the Dragon Valley had been in preparation for half a year. The Star Dou Great Forest and the Extreme North had been selecting soul beasts to go to the Star Luo Continent since then.
The chosen soul beasts would be arranged in Yuhao's demiplane and, at the appropriate time, taken to Star Luo to open the Dragon Tomb.
Originally, she thought it would take much longer, but with the arrival of the Star Luo delegation this time, Yuhao made the decision.
From her understanding of Yuhao, this only means one thing—
"Yuhao, even without using those trump cards, after you become a Soul Sage, you should be able to handle a Limit Douluo, right?"
Gu Yuena's lips curled slightly, her amethyst-like eyes filled with a knowing smile, "Is it because of the Martial Soul True Body?"
In her view, since Yuhao has made this decision now, it means he already has the confidence to handle most unexpected situations.
After all, he is the most "cautious" Limit Douluo.
And powerful strength is undoubtedly the best guarantee against various accidents.
Huo Yuhao looked at her and smiled slightly, "In a sense, yes. In history, the one with the greatest improvement at the Soul Sage stage is probably me. Although compared to a true Limit Douluo, my endurance is a bit lacking, but at least my combat power is solid."
The Ice Empress Martial Soul is a living martial soul, and its improvement at the Soul Sage stage is terrifying, allowing him to gain the power of the Ice Empress at her peak.
And the Ice Empress, as a 400, 000-year fierce beast, is comparable to a level 98 Super Douluo. However, this is the boost the Ice Empress could give him ten thousand years ago.
Now, the Ice Empress Martial Soul possesses the Water Dragon King's origin at the semi-divine level, and the Ice Empress, as a soul spirit, has also been elevated. From his understanding of himself, using the Ice Empress's True Body now, he can rival a true demi-god!
Although, due to the gap in soul power between a Soul Sage and a Limit Douluo, even with dual soul cores, his combat time in the Ice Empress True Body state is not long, having Limit combat power and not having it are two different things.
He thought this time would be different from ten thousand years ago, but habits are habits, and he ultimately ended up living like the Sword God of Ten Mile Slope.
"However, the real reason that prompted me to make this decision has nothing to do with strength." Huo Yuhao suddenly changed his tone, "In fact, if possible, I might not choose to break through to Soul Sage before this trip to Star Luo ends."
Why break through? As long as he hasn't reached the Soul Sage level, he has the greatest guarantee, the assessment of the Throne of Seals!
The Eternal Lord gave him a very lenient time frame. Before breaking through to Soul Sage, he can go to the Throne of Seals for assessment at any time.
This is the biggest reason prompting him to go to Star Luo now.
Do you understand the value of being assessed during combat?
If not, just look at Di Tian and Tang Wulin.
When Di Tian led the fierce beasts to attack Tang Wulin, the latter, with a Sea God's assessment, directly disappeared, going to take the assessment.
No matter how strong Di Tian is, what's the use?
He can only be left in the dark.
And now, he can do something similar. With just a thought, the Eternal Lord can pull him into the Eternal Domain, jumping out of the three realms, and even a true god can't keep him.
Moreover, because Gu Yuena has an equal contract with him and possesses the Star's Blessing, in the assessment rules of the Throne of Seals, she is considered his power, and if necessary, he can take her along to escape.
Advancing, he can break through to Soul Sage, add soul rings to the Ice Empress Martial Soul, and directly rival a Limit Douluo.
Retreating, he can choose not to break through and retreat to the Eternal Domain at any time.
There's no safer time than now.
Seeing Gu Yuena looking at him with some confusion, Huo Yuhao couldn't help but stroke her hair, "If needed, you'll understand. Right now, the Holy Spirit Cult is clearly targeting you and me. In other words, they still need me, but if it gets any later, the situation will be different. So, whether from a safety or timing perspective, going to Star Luo now is the best choice."
The Holy Spirit Cult's purpose in approaching him is to hope someone can restrain that god. The fact that the Holy Spirit Cult is still "recruiting" indicates they still have this need.
In other words, that god hasn't completed their nirvana yet, as the Holy Spirit Cult originally wasn't a match for that god. If the other party had already recovered, the Holy Spirit Cult might not dare to play tricks.
And without being able to determine the progress of that god's nirvana, the Holy Spirit Cult's invitation is no less than an ultimatum to him.
If he continues to wait, who knows what variables might arise. He can't expect to become a god faster than a god can complete their nirvana... that's not confidence, but arrogance.
