Master and Disciple

After communicating with Ning Fengzhi, Yang Xiong left alone.

Suddenly, two figures appeared beside Ning Fengzhi, who were none other than Sword Bone Douluo.

Bone Douluo spoke with a hint of confusion, "Fengzhi, I think with Little Xiong's personality, if you tried to persuade him, perhaps he would stay in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. That would be better for both the Sect and Rong Rong."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "When someone's heart is no longer here, why force them to stay?"

"Besides, Little Xiong has contributed greatly to the Sect over the years. If not for his contributions, I'm afraid my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have been destroyed long ago. Instead of forcing him to stay in the Sect, it's better to let him soar freely. Perhaps that will be better for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

As Ning Fengzhi said, if Yang Xiong were to stay in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he would at most be a Sect Guardian Douluo. However, if Yang Xiong went to Thunder Valley, he would be the founder of the Body Sect. Perhaps it would be better for the Sect if the Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect supported each other in the future.

In fact, Ning Fengzhi had long suspected that Yang Xiong was secretly establishing the Body Sect. However, Yang Xiong's contributions to the Sect over the years were simply too great. Moreover, ever since Yang Wudi and the others arrived at Cloud Mist Mountain, Yang Xiong's wings had grown strong, and even Ning Fengzhi couldn't suppress him.

Bone Douluo said, "I just feel a bit sorry for Rong Rong. If Yang Xiong had stayed in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he and Rong Rong wouldn't be separated."

...

After walking around the Sect, Yang Xiong first went to visit Sword Douluo.

In recent years, especially since becoming a disciple of Sword Bone Douluo, the two of them had helped him immensely, allowing him to understand the path of cultivation more clearly.

Upon arriving at Sword Douluo's residence, Sword Douluo's face was calm, as if he didn't care about anything.

Yang Xiong bowed and saluted, "Master, I plan to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I hope Master will grant my request."

Sword Douluo nodded slightly, "I have heard about your matter. Everyone has their own path to walk, just like a sword that must undergo different tempering to become a true treasure sword. Since you have decided to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, then walk your path diligently. Don't disappoint yourself, and don't tarnish my reputation."

Yang Xiong quickly said, "No matter what, I will practice the Sword Dao diligently and will not disappoint you."

Sword Douluo said, "You have always had your own thoughts and your own cultivation methods. Today, I will teach you the last lesson. Since you have learned my Seven Kill Sword Technique, you must regard yourself as a true sword. When encountering anything, you must be unyielding and advance bravely, without thinking about twists and turns."

After Sword Douluo finished speaking, his entire body emitted endless Killing Intent. Especially when the Seven Kill Sword descended from the sky, even with Yang Xiong's current strength, he felt completely suppressed, and his heart even trembled.

When the massive Seven Kill Sword was thrust in front of Yang Xiong, even Yang Xiong felt a chill run down his spine and was completely unable to resist. This Seven Kill Sword was not only filled with endless Killing Intent, but it was also like Sword Douluo himself, self-admiring, unruly, and extraordinary.

Sword Douluo continued, "Yang Xiong, your comprehension and combat power are the only ones I have ever seen in my life. You also have your own cultivation path. Although in terms of innate talent, you may not be as good as Qian Renxue and Tang San, your combat experience is stronger than theirs, and you cultivate even harder than them."

"But whether it is in cultivation or in the Sword Dao, there is still a lack. Soul Masters ultimately rely on soul power. Only true powerhouses can suppress their enemies with soul power. You must know that at the peak of cultivation, the gap between each level is like a chasm."

At this moment, Sword Douluo displayed his peak ninety-seventh level soul power and even more terrifying Sword Intent. No matter how strong Yang Xiong's combat power was, he felt the chasm-like gap between them at this moment.

Sword Douluo then continued, "Although I have had some insights and opportunities over the years, I am still only at the peak of the ninety-seventh level. There is still a certain distance from the ninety-eighth level."

"But do you know that the true peak of the Soul Master world is the hidden Great Enshriner of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu. Back then, my father's soul power reached the ninety-eighth level, but even if he used all his strength, he could not injure Qian Daoliu. Qian Daoliu, relying on the perfect fusion of his Martial Soul and body, blocked nine Kill Characters from my father, and then used Angel Soul Power to injure my father's internal organs, ultimately leading to my father's death. This is the strength of a ninety-ninth level Titled Douluo, also known as a Limit Douluo in the Soul Master world."

"Although your current strength is good, both your Sword Dao and soul power are too far behind. This gap is far from being compensated by a few more Soul Bones on your body."

Yang Xiong was also startled upon hearing this. Although his strength had greatly increased recently, he was indeed too far from being a true master.

Especially after his soul power reached level seventy, his cultivation speed began to slow down a bit. Not to mention that after breaking through to Titled Douluo in the future, his speed would likely decrease further. At that time, his current advantage would quickly be erased by Tang San and Qian Renxue.

Yang Xiong quickly bowed and saluted, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will definitely work hard to cultivate my soul power."

...

After meeting with Sword Douluo, Yang Xiong found his other master, Bone Douluo.

Compared to Sword Douluo, although Bone Douluo appeared somewhat gloomy, he had helped him even more. Especially since he had been practicing Body Refinement since he was young, Bone Douluo had been secretly helping and supporting him.

When Yang Xiong saw Bone Douluo, he bowed and saluted, "Master, I plan to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. I hope you will grant my request."

Bone Douluo said calmly, "It's right that you have your own plans. Leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might be better for your personal development, but have you ever thought that establishing a sect is not that simple?"

Yang Xiong quickly said, "Please give me guidance, Master."

Bone Douluo shook his head, "These are not problems of Soul Master cultivation, but problems concerning sects."

"The development of any sect requires not only inheritance but also goals, income, and even various complex situations to handle."

"Your idea of establishing the Body Sect is good, and you've even attracted a group of experts. The basic framework of the sect is built, but have you ever thought about how your Body Sect will be inherited in the future? Can it truly remain in your own hands?"

"Furthermore, your subordinates are a complex mix of people. You might be able to suppress them in your current situation, but will your descendants have your cultivation talent? Will your descendants be able to suppress the complex forces? Will your descendants be able to suppress everyone's ambitions?"

Yang Xiong was startled by these words. He did have plans for the Body Sect, lacking neither resources nor cultivation methods, but he hadn't thought much about future control.

Yang Xiong was very clear that Body Martial Souls were very rare in the Soul Master world and very difficult to cultivate. The biggest problem was the difficulty in stable inheritance.

In the original work, the reason why the Tang Sect declined after ten thousand years was actually due to the lack of true Martial Soul inheritance.

The entire Tang Sect, in pursuit of so-called authenticity, actually chose a Soul Master with the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul as the Sect Leader. Even if they were the so-called Blue Silver Grass royalty, they were ultimately just ordinary Blue Silver Grass.

In every aspect, the Blue Silver Grass was too ordinary, with very poor attack and defense, and completely lacked any inheritability.

If the Tang Sect still had Titled Douluo after ten thousand years, even if hidden weapons were replaced by Soul Tools, the Tang Sect would at least be a decent force and wouldn't end up with its inheritance almost severed.

As for the so-called secondary awakening of the Body Martial Soul, Yang Xiong had researched it for many years. Although he had a general idea, he couldn't achieve stable inheritance and even less could he eliminate the dangers within. Not everyone could temper their body with ice and fire like him, and not everyone had a 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone as a safety net like him.

Yang Xiong thought for a moment before speaking, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I understand how to handle things next."

Bone Douluo roared, "No, you don't understand. A sect's true growth and strength absolutely do not rely solely on one person, nor on a single Martial Soul."

"Just like our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is known as the number one auxiliary Martial Soul in the world, there are Martial Souls in the world that can rival the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. For example, the Bright Gold Scepter and Nine Heart Begonia you've seen before are actually not much weaker than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"But only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is a true Upper Three Sect, and only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can dominate the world. Besides the Martial Soul itself, it's more about methods. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect not only has Titled Douluo in every generation, but these Titled Douluo are also wholeheartedly dedicated to the sect. This is not something that can be explained in just a few words."

"It's not only full of bloodshed but also various calculations. Do you think an ordinary disciple can know as many resources as you, or have a Soul Douluo protecting them anytime and anywhere like you did back then? That's because you are too special, and because of your various ingenious ideas, you made great contributions to the sect."

"But even so, you still want to leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Can't I and the old Sword person leave with our strength? Can't I and the old Sword person establish a sect with our strength?"

Hearing Bone Douluo's words, Yang Xiong felt a chill run down his spine and also felt enlightened.

Although within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, everyone felt that Sword Douluo was the true Pillar of the Sea, after all, whether it was repelling enemies or Soul Power level, Sword Douluo was significantly higher than Bone Douluo.

But from another perspective, the situation was completely different.

Sword Douluo basically didn't need to handle any trivial matters within the sect and only needed to cultivate in peace. It could be said that the sect provided him with the best cultivation environment, something even Spirit Hall couldn't achieve.

In contrast, Bone Douluo mostly had to protect the Sect Leader's safety and also handle various matters of the sect. Even all the dark and bloody matters within the sect were personally handled by Bone Douluo. Therefore, in a sense, Bone Douluo was truly the foundation that maintained the sect.

Bone Douluo looked at Yang Xiong's somewhat pale expression and showed no intention of stopping, instead continuing, "In any sect, not only are the forces complex, but everyone has different thoughts. Even sects like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and Clear Sky Sect, which are connected by Martial Soul and bloodline, have various internal conflicts."

"For example, in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, although Yu Luomian and Yu Yuanzhen are brothers, they have different intentions and respectively support Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin to inherit the sect. The situation in the Clear Sky Sect is similar; there are also certain differences in the thoughts between Tang Xiao and the Elders."

"And your so-called Body Sect doesn't have that kind of bloodline connection. This problem will be even more serious in the future. How will you prevent the sect from splitting and collapsing?"

"Also, as a normal person, everyone has selfish motives. Won't you consider your children and relatives? But what right do your children and relatives have to inherit everything from you?"
