Unbelievable

**Chapter 16 Unbelievable**

The Domain, even in many places on the Douluo Continent, is something that only a few strong individuals have attained for themselves.

There may be only one or two among the ten known Title Douluo on the continent.

Moreover, their Domains are only awakened after their strength level, usually Soul Power, reaches a certain threshold. There has never been a Domain that awakens alongside the Martial Soul, like Tang Yuehua's.

Therefore, Gu Ziyi suspected that Tang Yuehua's cultivation issues were likely related to her Innate Domain.

"No matter how the Martial Soul mutates, it's impossible for you to be unable to cultivate!"

"Your situation has never happened before on the Douluo Continent. It's almost an impossible feat..."

Gu Ziyi looked at Tang Yuehua, who was deep in thought, and then hesitantly asked, "Is there any other special circumstance about you?"

Tang Yuehua hadn't mentioned her Innate Domain in her explanation, so he could only remind her indirectly.

"Other special circumstances?"

She was shocked to hear the question. She hadn't expected Gu Ziyi to guess that there were other special factors she hadn't mentioned yet.

"Yes, when I first awakened my Martial Soul, I also awakened my own Domain!"

After recovering from her surprise, Tang Yuehua didn't hesitate and quickly told him about her Innate Domain.

She hadn't mentioned it earlier because she didn't think it was necessary.

But since Gu Ziyi had asked, she told him directly.

"What? You awakened your Domain?"

When Gu Ziyi heard this, he immediately looked at Tang Yuehua in disbelief. The shock on his face was even more evident than when he learned that she had an Innate Soul Power of level 9.

"That's right. My cousin not only has an Innate Soul Power of level 9, but she also awakened her Domain!" Bai Lu, standing beside them, saw Gu Ziyi's shocked expression again and confirmed with a proud smile on her face.

"Incredible, her Martial Soul mutated and still transformed into an Innate Domain..."

"What a monstrous talent..."

Gu Ziyi was amazed.

"Don't focus too much on my cousin's Domain. No matter how strong her talent is, it's useless if she can't even cultivate!" Bai Lu admired Gu Ziyi's shocked expression for a moment, then continued.

"Yes, Gu Ziyi, please help me find the problem with my cultivation first!" Tang Yuehua also looked at him anxiously.

Although she knew that Gu Ziyi might not be able to find her problem, she could only hold onto a shred of hope now.

"How can you ignore that?"

"Your situation is unprecedented in history. You are also the first ever recorded to possess an Innate Domain, along with a strong Innate Soul Power. Your Martial Soul is very special..."

"The problem with your inability to cultivate might stem from your Innate Domain!"

When Gu Ziyi heard what the two girls said, he set aside his surprise and immediately became serious, sharing his speculation.

"What?"

"How is that possible..."

Upon hearing Gu Ziyi's suspicions, both Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu were shocked.

"How can my cousin's inability to cultivate be related to her Innate Domain? It's a Domain..." Bai Lu questioned Gu Ziyi in a doubtful tone, but he quickly interrupted her before she could finish.

"How is it impossible?"

"Has there ever been a Soul Master on the Douluo Continent who couldn't meditate and increase their cultivation?"

Gu Ziyi asked calmly.

"No! But..."

Bai Lu shook her head and wanted to continue refuting his argument.

What does an inability to meditate have to do with a Domain?

"Has anyone ever had qualifications like Tang Yuehua's, awakening both a Martial Soul and an Innate Domain at the same time, along with a level 9 Innate Soul Power?"

Gu Ziyi interrupted Bai Lu directly and continued asking calmly.

"...No! But..."

Bai Lu looked at Gu Ziyi angrily, frustrated that he wouldn't let her finish.

"In that case, how can you be sure there's no connection between the two?"

Gu Ziyi didn't care about Bai Lu's angry expression and interrupted her once more.

"That..."

At first, it seemed absurd, but when Bai Lu thought carefully about Gu Ziyi's question, she was immediately at a loss for a response.

Yes, how can we be sure there's no connection between the two?

"...Is that even possible?"

Tang Yuehua also slightly opened her mouth in surprise at this moment, shocked by Gu Ziyi's guess.

A Domain is a talent that countless Soul Masters can only dream of, and many may never possess it in their lifetime.

How could awakening an Innate Domain be a bad thing?

Not only Tang Yuehua and Bai Lu, but all the other elders and powerful individuals—even her grandfather Tang Chen—had never doubted her Domain when trying to help find the problem with her cultivation.

"You from the Haotian Sect never considered this possibility?"

Seeing the surprised looks on both girls' faces, Gu Ziyi became even more certain of his theory.

Because that meant no one had truly considered this possibility when trying to solve the problem.

"No... except for you, no one ever thought about my Innate Domain..." Tang Yuehua nodded affirmatively and looked at Gu Ziyi with wide, hopeful eyes. "Is my inability to cultivate really related to my Domain?"

Thump Thump Thump—

Tang Yuehua's beautiful face turned slightly red at this moment, showing her excitement and nervousness. She could feel her heartbeat quickening as they got closer to solving her cultivation issue.

After Gu Ziyi's analysis, she also began to feel that her inability to cultivate was indeed likely related to her Innate Domain.

And that was something no one had considered before.

This new direction filled her with enthusiasm and anticipation.

"I don't know if it's correct yet, it's just a guess!"

"Is your Innate Domain connected to your Martial Soul?"

Gu Ziyi didn't confirm his theory but continued asking Tang Yuehua questions.

"Mhm!"

Tang Yuehua quickly nodded.

Buzz—

Immediately, she summoned her Martial Soul—Wishful Ring—in front of Gu Ziyi.

It was also the first time he saw Tang Yuehua's Martial Soul. He couldn't tell much from its appearance, but he could see the delicacy and nobility of the Martial Soul.

"Noble Circle!" (Note: Her Innate Domain doesn't have an official name; in previous chapters, I mentioned it might not have one. My research suggests it has no official name for her Domain.)

When Tang Yuehua activated her Domain, Gu Ziyi noticed one of the inscriptions on the Wishful Ring flickered.

Buzz—

Immediately afterward, he felt the effect of Tang Yuehua's Domain.

His soul felt as if it had been gently caressed by the cool breeze of a refreshing afternoon, suddenly becoming much calmer and softer, refreshing his mind as well.

"The effect of your Innate Domain is very similar to my Soul Skill, but the effect is more potent..."

Feeling the effect of Tang Yuehua's Domain, Gu Ziyi pretended to be surprised.

"Yes, this is my cousin's Innate Domain, the Noble Circle, which has the effect of purifying the soul. It's much better than your Cursed Heart-Purifying Talisman!"

"Your Soul Skills are not so unique!" Bai Lu boasted proudly at this moment, bragging about her cousin.

"Yes, it's very potent!" Gu Ziyi nodded and looked at Tang Yuehua. "Now I suspect even more that your inability to cultivate is due to your Innate Domain!"

"The first step in practicing meditation is to immerse your human consciousness, or in other words, your mental power, into your Martial Soul to achieve a state of unity between consciousness and the Martial Soul!"

"You haven't been able to achieve this step. It's probably because your Domain is too strong—much stronger than your mental power—so it's hindering your union with the Martial Soul!"

Gu Ziyi analyzed step by step for the two girls.

He had just experienced Tang Yuehua's Innate Domain, and it was indeed very powerful for her level.
