The dual cultivation feedback of the Longevity Art has a distinct characteristic: the weaker the other party's strength, the greater the benefits obtained.
Embryo Transformation was the same, since it also used Nangong Lingyun's innate true qi as the medium.
Therefore, when the female trainees of the training camp enrolled, their cultivation levels varied enormously. On the low end, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were only around levels twenty-six or twenty-seven; on the high end, Gu Yuena was already at level forty-six—a full two ranks apart.
However, as time passed, as the Longevity Art gradually became more refined and with Nangong Lingyun's continuous diligent "watering,"
in the end, everyone unexpectedly began to level out.
Now, Ning Rongrong was still the lowest, but she had already reached level fifty-five. Gu Yuena, the highest, was at level sixty-four, with a gap of less than ten levels. The vast majority of the others were hovering around level sixty.
Even Zhu Zhuqing had reached level sixty.
Nangong Lingyun had originally planned to begin using Immortal Herb Soul Spirits at level sixty. A hundred-thousand-year soul beast could produce at most four Soul Spirit Rings, just enough to cover the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth rings.
However, later on, the Sea God owed him twenty God-bestowed Soul Rings.Therefore, the sixth Soul Ring was changed to a God-bestowed one, while the seventh, eighth, and ninth rings were still Immortal Herb Soul Spirits.
In terms of martial soul evolution, skill strength, effects, and compatibility, God-bestowed Soul Rings were superior to Soul Spirit Rings.
After all, no matter how powerful an Immortal Herb ferocious beast might be, when condensing the seventh and eighth hundred-thousand-year skills, some dilution was inevitable.
Three Soul Rings with six skills were just right.
The only exception was that Soul Spirits could exceed true limits—using a ten-thousand-year Soul Spirit as a first Soul Ring was not impossible—whereas God-bestowed Soul Rings could not.
That said, after body tempering with divine medicines, a year of arduous cultivation, and strengthening martial souls from the root through Embryo Transformation, plus the Longevity Art, and with the core harem all having absorbed top-grade soul bones, they were now fully capable of withstanding hundred-thousand-year Soul Rings. It was not much of a loss.
Nangong Lingyun temporarily left the girls who had reached level sixty on Sea God Island to absorb their God-bestowed Soul Rings.
He himself, together with Angel Yan, quickly returned with the remaining trainees to prepare for tomorrow's peace conference.
Most of those brought back were geniuses from the two great sects, the two great alliances, the former Wind, Water, Fire academies, and several academies under the Spirit Hall.
Nangong Lingyun gave them two days off. Presumably, when these evolved martial souls returned to their families and sects, they would certainly cause a sensation, making tomorrow's affairs even smoother.
One day passed quickly.
Early the next morning, Angel Yan separately went to Sea God Island and the Sun Moon Continent, bringing Poseisi, Tsunade, the Sun Moon Empire's emperor, and the Hall of Consecration to the capital.
As for Heaven Dou, Star Luo, and Spirit Hall, they had already arrived on their own the night before.
This high-level conference—which would彻底 change the continental structure of tens of thousands of years, was destined to be recorded in history, and would leave a heavy mark for future generations—was, in truth, a bit boring for Nangong Lingyun.
Even the most unhinged madwoman among Douluo, Bibi Dong, showed no intention of resisting at all. After the Sun Moon Empire had been taught a lesson by the Great Consecrator of the Destruction God King, they too behaved themselves.
No matter what topic he introduced, what followed was a string of flattery, with not the slightest hint of the tension or excitement one might expect.
There was simply no opportunity to display force, which left someone feeling rather regretful.
But regardless, in the end, unification was achieved.
Many matters were discussed at the conference, such as the political system, the military system, and the soul master management system.
In addition, it was decided to split the Spirit Hall and the Church of the Angel Goddess.
Among them, the Church of the Angel Goddess would remain semi-independent, protected by its divine-bloodline Angel Qian Clan, but it would be required to abide by imperial law and was forbidden from waging war at will.
Sea God Island, the City of Slaughter, the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Seven Treasure Blue Tyrant sects were treated the same.
The Spirit Hall was renamed the Soul Master Guild, becoming a subordinate institution under the Heavenly Empire, specifically providing auxiliary services to the soul master class, such as martial soul awakening, soul master registration, and subsidy distribution. It would have no authority to command soul masters.
Its managers would be a joint council of all Title Douluos, with Bibi Dong naturally becoming the first President of the Soul Master Guild.
Heaven Dou, Star Luo, Sun Moon, the various small nations, and some ungoverned regions were all broken up into a total of thirty-six subordinate provinces.
Each province would establish Left and Right Administrators to manage civil affairs, Left and Right Judicial Inspectors to oversee punishment, Left and Right Military Governors to command stationed troops, Left and Right Supervisory Envoys to监察 all officials, and Left and Right Finance Commissioners to control revenues. The five positions were equal in rank and mutually checked one another.
When unexpected situations arose requiring unified control of military, administration, and finances, the court would dispatch temporary officials and temporary institutions to handle the matter specially, to be dissolved immediately upon completion.
The former crown princes of Star Luo and Sun Moon became the first Administrators of their respective capital regions.
The emperors of the three nations were placed into the Cabinet to deliberate on military and political affairs. Nangong Lingyun granted them the privilege of not kneeling when meeting the Emperor and promised that as long as they committed no errors, they would not be arbitrarily punished or exterminated.
In addition, the Sun Moon Empire would concentrate a large number of soul engineers to fully produce giant screens and communication equipment.
The General Soul Master Guild would be responsible for organizing the first Imperial Soul Master Tournament—the martial examination—while the Cabinet would organize the civil examination.
Apart from Kaiyuan Academy serving as the Heavenly Empire Royal Soul Master Academy, new institutions would soon be established: the Royal Administrative Academy, also known as Gengshi Academy; the Heavenly Empire Royal Military Academy, also known as Wude Academy; and the Heavenly Empire Royal Soul Engineer Academy, also known as Tiancai Academy.
Together, they formed "Wude Tiancai, Kaiyuan Gengshi."
All academies would henceforth no longer distinguish between nobles and commoners, admitting students solely based on grades and talent.
Regarding the Star Dou Great Forest,
Nangong Lingyun had long discussed matters with Gu Yuena and the Silver Dragon King. The rarest bloodlines would be transferred into the Beast-Taming Space to live, while some of the less rare ones would also be moved in to fill out the ecological system.
For the remaining soul beasts, multiple Spirit Transmission Towers would be built within the forest, with a central Myriad Spirits Platform plane. When soul beasts over a thousand years old died of old age or mutual slaughter, their souls would be automatically absorbed by formations and stored as Soul Spirits.
From now on, ordinary soul masters would be prohibited from obtaining Soul Rings through hunting. Instead, artificial Soul Rings and artificial Soul Spirits would be used.
Only a portion of those with outstanding talent would be allowed to enter the Myriad Spirits Platform to attach natural Soul Spirits.
As for what standards qualified as "outstanding talent," this would be determined by comparing the annual number of Soul Spirits produced with the number of soul masters needing Soul Rings, without setting strict criteria.
Based on calculations, the number of soul beasts that accidentally died in the Star Dou Great Forest each year was sufficient to arm over two hundred times the number of human soul masters. In other words, anyone with innate soul power could be considered outstanding.
As for the technology of artificial Soul Rings and soul-absorption formations—this problem could be solved by "cheating."
And the Myriad Spirits Platform plane, also known as the Undead Space, was provided free of charge by the true martial soul of a certain emperor who did not wish to reveal his name: the Chaos Holy Spirit.
The Star Dou Great Forest no longer had to worry about being wiped out by human hunting. Ordinary soul masters not only no longer needed to risk their lives hunting soul beasts, but could also obtain stronger and more useful Soul Spirits.
The massive influx of spirit bodies into the Undead Plane could also greatly increase someone's strength. This was truly a triple win—three sides all won so hard it was like Qin Shi Huang touching an electric wire: utterly electrified with victory.
Only the will of Douluo Star might have some objections, but that was fine—there would be opportunities in the future to wipe out the Abyssal Plane as compensation.
Nangong Lingyun had many thoughts in his mind, but many things did not yet have the conditions to be implemented. He could only place his heavy bets on education. Only after achieving sufficient control over the grassroots could the next stage of reform begin.
The moment the conference ended,
today's newspaper, whose release had been delayed by several hours, immediately announced this earth-shaking news to the people across the land.
Countless civilians on the two continents instantly fell into frenzy.
