Expansion of Communication Soul Tool

The final decision was for Liuxing to entrust the God Sealing Platform to Luan Yu for safekeeping.

Not only were the soul beast embryos inside temporarily beyond their ability to absorb, but carrying a Level Nine Soul Tool around wasn't exactly practical for two kids either.

Luan Yu was undoubtedly the best candidate for safekeeping.

This made Xue Nu show a trace of regret on her small face.

If Liuxing and Liuying were the ones carrying her origin power, she might have had a chance to snatch it back.

As for whether she could defeat Liuxing and Liuying?

Impossible, she was the Snow Empress, Leveled third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

How could she possibly lose to two little human brats?

But things had already come to this. Since she couldn't reclaim her origin for now, she might as well stay and cultivate, using her enemy's resources to enhance herself.

And in the end, when she finally reclaimed her origin right in front of that despicable human, his expression would certainly be priceless.

Thinking of this, Xue Nu felt quite pleased.

Although Xue Nu had never attended a primary-level Soul Tool Academy, Luan Yu had plenty of ways to get her an admission certificate for an intermediate-level Soul Tool Academy.

Such was the privilege of the strong.

As expected, when they enrolled, Liuxing saw some familiar faces: Gu Yuena, Nana, Xu Tianzhen, and Ye Guyi, they had all applied to the same intermediate academy.

When Gu Yuena saw Xue Nu following beside Liuxing and Liuying, her pupils shLevel slightly.

Noticing her gaze, Liuxing introduced, "Let me introduce her, this is Xue Nu, our new family member."

"I know, I know! My brother said that Aunt Luan Yu picked up another kid, so that must be Xue Nu, right?"

Xu Tianzhen raised her hand excitedly.

Ignoring Xu Tianzhen, who was noisily struggling under Liuxing's single-handed restraint, Gu Yuena glanced at Xue Nu several times before smiling slightly and whispering, "Interesting."

"What's interesting?"

At some point, Liuying had appeared beside Gu Yuena and overheard her muttering.

Startled, Gu Yuena asked helplessly, "Why do you walk without making a sound?"

Liuying blinked her blue-pink eyes innocently. "I've been practicing my footwork lately. Looks like it's working! But you still haven't told me, what's interesting? Xue Nu?"

Gu Yuena shook her head. "It's nothing. I just meant that you all are as interesting as ever."

Liuying glanced at Xu Tianzhen, who was being held back by Liuxing but still flailing wildly, unable to even touch his clothes, and shook her head helplessly.

Unknowingly, Liuxing, who was usually so composed and mature, had been dragged down to Xu Tianzhen's level.

Watching the group playfully bicker, Xue Nu felt dazed.

It was an unfamiliar feeling. In the Extreme North, she had also interacted with Ice Empress, Ice Bear King, or Titan Snow Demon King, but only once every few years.

As for other soul beasts, unless they had reached the hundred-thousand-year level, they didn't even dare to approach her.

Most of the time, she was either cultivating or in deep sleep.

She had never imagined living like this, spending every day in joy, surrounded by laughter and liveliness.

Was this the human world?

It wasn't so bad.

Unconsciously, a faint smile appeared on Xue Nu's lips.

Time passed gradually, and six months after enrolling in the intermediate Soul Tool Academy, Liuxing and Liuying finally broke through to Level 30.

They had already reached Level 29 at the age of nine, but advancing to Level 30 as an Ultimate Soul Master was incredibly difficult.

Liuxing could feel that even though their absorption efficiency hadn't slowed, their soul power was actively compressing itself, becoming increasingly pure and condensed.

It took them six months to finally refine their soul power to the extreme and break through to Level 30.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuena and Xue Nu were also stuck at Level 29, as they had to undergo the same process of compressing and refining their soul power.

Xue Nu was an Ultimate Martial Soul user, while Gu Yuena was not far behind, her Silver Dragon Martial Soul was the progenitor of elemental dragons, allowing her to control multiple elements.

Each one had the potential to reach an extreme level.

Although her elemental mastery wasn't at the Ultimate level initially, her growth potential and upper limit were much higher.

For example, her first soul skill, Water Element Control, had yet to reach the Ultimate level.

But as her cultivation increased, she would inevitably attain that level, and not just with water. Her second soul skill, for instance, controlled fire.

Gu Yuena's soul skill acquisition process was straightforward, she simply obtained elements she hadn't yet mastered.

That was the power of the Elemental Progenitor, the Silver Dragon Martial Soul.

Ye Guyi and Xu Tianzhen were slightly behind, one at Level 28, the other at Level 27, while Nana had just broken through to Level 20.

The Jingyang Mountain Range had an overall shape resembling a giant spider.

The central mountain range occupied a vast area, with eight subsidiary ridges extending in different directions like legs.

These ridges coiled around the central mountains, serving as a natural barrier.

Compared to the central region, these ridges had fewer soul beasts but were rich in mineral resources. In contrast, the central mountains teemed with soul beasts, including some that had lived for a hundred thousand years.

The main peak, Jingyang Peak, was even regarded as a forbidden zone.

This was Liuxing and Liuying's second time visiting the range; they had obtained their second soul rings here.

As the western sky was painted in beautiful sunset hues, they finally reached their destination.

"We'll camp here tonight. Tomorrow, we'll enter the mountains to find suitable soul beasts."

As expected, Luan Yu was once again leading Liuxing and Liuying on their soul ring hunt.

She couldn't trust anyone else with their safety, if something happened, she would never forgive herself.

Besides, she had plenty of free time. Unlike Luan Feng, who had official duties, she no longer had to focus solely on researching communication soul tools.

The imperial family's offering court had taken over the project, and with its team of Level Nine Soul Tool Masters, significant breakthroughs had already been made.

Over the course of more than a year, the long-distance communication soul device had been successfully developed.

Initially, it could only provide coverage within Mingdu and was first promoted there.

As time passed, the foundational soul network for the long-distance communication soul device had expanded to cover most of the Sun-Moon Empire.

It was believed that within a few more years, other regions would also gradually gain access to the soul network.

Eventually, it would spread across the entire Douluo Continent.
