Xu Mingxi followed his grandfather back home, and when his parents left, he asked his grandfather about the two soul beasts he had just seen.
"Mingxi, you should have more respect for these two old seniors in the future. They've been around since the beginning of my Star Crown Sect.
In other words, the first generation of Star Crown Douluo chose this place as the sect's address because of them."
"Is that so, Grandpa, what kind of soul beasts are they? Why haven't I seen them in the books?"
"The old tree is a hundred thousand-year-old star tree, and the old vine is a hundred thousand-year-old star-seeking vine, and the two are born together.
Mount Xingluo is also filled with starlight because of their existence.
This place is a natural imitation place for those of us with Star Crown martial souls."
"But Grandpa, aren't they soul beings? Can we humans really live peacefully with soul beings?"
Xu Mingxi spoke these trial words naively, but was firmly rejected by his grandfather.
"Absolutely impossible. When Star Crown Douluo first encountered them, they weren't even hundreds of thousands of years old soul beasts yet.
If the first Star Crown Douluo hadn't obtained the ninth soul ring, they definitely wouldn't have survived.
Only later, with the establishment of the Star Crown Sect, and the two of them becoming hundreds of thousands of years old soul beasts, was it more advantageous for the Star Crown Sect to keep them alive.
We gave them the flesh and blood of the Negative Star Cow, and they transformed the environment of Fallen Star Mountain.
Both sides spent thousands of years in peace, and our relationship improved."
"Then, Grandfather, why are they so interested in me today?"
Xu Mingxi was still a little scared when he thought of the vines that had suddenly appeared in front of him during the day.
"Grandfather doesn't know either. Maybe it's because your physique is close to that of a star. Maybe with you by their side, their cultivation speed can be accelerated."
Soul beasts also need to cultivate. A hundred thousand year soul beast doesn't mean it has actually lived for a hundred thousand years.
The Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was definitely not as long-lived as the Ice Emperor, but if we put strength aside and talk about cultivation, its cultivation was definitely far superior to that of the Ice Emperor.
If it really takes 100,000 years to produce a 100,000-year-old soul beast, then a high-level soul beast would have been killed long ago.
Xu Mingxi seemed to be thinking about something, but knowing that those old trees and old vines wouldn't hurt him was enough. He believed that the sect leader would arrange everything.
"By the way, Mingxi, is it always so noisy every time you practice?"
That was the first time the Great Elder saw starlight falling from the sky like a stream of water in his entire life.
"No, Grandpa, this is just the effect of my soul skill. As long as I don't use my first soul skill, it won't be like this."
"Will it affect your cultivation speed?"
"Well, it doesn't seem to have much of an impact."
After Xu Mingxi felt it carefully, it didn't seem to make any difference to him whether to use this first soul skill or not.
It was just that the concentration of starlight around him would increase after using it, which seemed to benefit others with the Star Crown Martial Spirit.
The next day, Xu Mingxi said goodbye to his parents and directly moved to live under the star tree on the back mountain.
The sect leader built a small wooden house for the two brothers Xu Mingxi and Xu Mingguang under the star tree, and he usually delivered food to them personally.
Xu Mingguang was overjoyed to be able to see his father here often.
Xu Fangxing was the one who took care of the two senior people on the back mountain and was responsible for transporting the meat and blood of the Negative Star Cow every day.
The advantage is that he can also take advantage of this great place to train.
Xu's father often complained at home, wondering if the clan leader was giving his son special treatment.
Otherwise, considering their ages are almost the same, Xu Fangxing's innate soul power is only one level higher than mine. How could he be almost one level higher than me?
The land near the star tree was artificially planted with star gathering grass.
At night, the endless starlight shines down, illuminating the star-gathering grass and then gathering on the star tree.
The stars are shining, it's really beautiful.
This place was not only used by the two brothers Mingguang and Mingxi, but also became a place for sect masters and some elders to practice.
Xu Mingxi rested during the day and received instructions from the elders and sect leaders in the afternoon.
At night, he would sit cross-legged right under the Star Tree, and practice cultivation by absorbing starlight from the sky.
The sect leader and some elders were sitting around, and the Star Tree and Xu Mingxi's first soul skill were superimposed.
There were twinkling stars all around, and everyone seemed to be in a sea of stars.
Of course, it was only a superficial effect. The sect leader didn't feel that his cultivation speed increased after possessing Xu Mingxi.
"Mingxi, don't be disappointed. Perhaps the level of the elders is too far away from you. It should be enough when you become a Soul King or Soul Emperor."
Xu Mingxi became increasingly dejected. Now he was only an eleventh-level soul master, and his first soul skill was amplification practice.
"Master, I can go home on the weekends."
Although Xu Mingxi was determined to practice hard, he still wanted to have his own life.
"Of course you can. Only by combining work and rest can you practice for a long time."
The sect leader looked at Xu Mingxi happily. It wasn't enough to just practice. It's better to interact more with the people in the sect.
However, you must not be like that old dragon son, who was too arrogant and was treated coldly by the people in the sect after awakening a useless martial spirit.
Take a look at our Star Crown Sect. Under my leadership, it is truly a sect of good unity and friendship.
Just a few days ago, news spread across the continent that the son of the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan, one of the top three sects, had awakened a useless martial spirit.
The sect leader sneered at the time, thinking that this was just fake news spread by the Spirit Hall to ruin the reputation of the top three sects, and would soon be exposed.
Who would have thought that after a few days, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaur Clan had no intention of clarifying the matter.
The sect leader then had to believe that a child born by a dragon was not necessarily a dragon's son.
Xu Mingxi spent his childhood studying and practicing.
Compared to his previous life, he favored life on the Douluo Continent.
Here there were parents who loved you, friends who cared about you, and the sect followers also played together and helped each other.
She wanted to protect everyone.
More importantly, it felt good to keep getting stronger.
The hardworking Xu Mingxi felt that time passed very quickly, and two years had passed in the blink of an eye.
With the help of his first soul skill and the Star Tree, eight-year-old Xu Mingxi managed to reach level 20.
Xu Mingguang, who was with him, had also reached level 19, and the two of them agreed to go together to obtain the second soul ring.
Within the sect, there is a record of an ancestor once delaying obtaining a spirit ring for some reason.
As a result, after a relatively long period of time, his soul power actually increased by two levels after absorbing the soul ring.
From then on, the Star Crown Sect deliberately organized some people to conduct experiments, and the lack of soul rings did not hinder the continuous improvement of soul power.
The sect leader let the two brats do what they wanted. Mingguang's breakthrough would only take a month or two, so it was no big deal.
He was worried about something else. The Star Ancestor had some notes in his notebook.
Back then, the Star Ancestor was stuck at level 98 and unable to break through. In his later years, he kept complaining that he had made the wrong choice for his second to sixth soul rings.
The sect leader looked at Xu Mingxi who was sitting cross-legged under the star tree while practicing, and he was even a little afraid. He was afraid of destroying this child.
"No, I have to go back and look through the beast encyclopedia. I have to find a good soul ring for Mingxi."
A month and a half later, Xu Mingguang successfully broke through to level 20, and the two little guys walked into the sect master's hall one after another.
"Grandpa, I've made a breakthrough. When are you going to take us spirit ring hunting?"
The sect master, who already had dark circles under his eyes, raised his head from the pile of books.
"Mingguang has also made a breakthrough, but grandfather is not leading the team this time.
You will go to the Star Dou Great Forest this time. Grandpa needs to handle sect affairs in the sect, and the first and second elders will take you there when the time comes."
The sect master had consulted a lot of information and decided on several types of soul beasts suitable for Xu Mingxi, most of which lived in the Star Dou Great Forest.
As for Xu Mingguang, there was a suitable soul beast for her in the Star Dou Great Forest. If that didn't work, she could return to the sect and absorb the soul ring again.
The Star Crown Sect had researched and developed a series of templates applicable to the first four soul skills in the three development directions of strong attack, control, and favor.
A soul beast that can produce one or two soul skills only takes a few hundred years, and the Star Crown Sect can still afford to raise it with its foundation.
Of course there were some in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the two children had already made a deal, so it was a waste of time at best.
As the sect leader, Xu Chunxing could not leave the sect for a long time, and it was unknown how long it would take to find a suitable soul beast.
Moreover, two elders, one Titled Douluo and one Soul Douluo, were more than enough.
If Xu Mingguang and Xu Mingxi weren't very important to the Star Crown Sect, they wouldn't have sent out this lineup.
The next day, Xu Mingxi followed his grandfather to the training grounds, where Xu Mingguang and the second elder were already waiting.
Only four people traveled this time, and the less the outside world knew about brother Xu Mingguang, the better.
During the period of the two great empires, wars were constantly occurring on the Douluo Continent. Moreover, the mountains in the western region were sparsely populated, and the roads were full of potholes.
Or rather, there were no roads at all, only wild, man-made roads. Xu Mingxi almost tripped a few times while walking on them.
Finally, the two elders picked up the two little children, used their soul power to protect their bodies, and flew forward.
If we let the two children walk on their own, we don't know how many days it would take to get there.
The two elders naturally had different speeds, but they arrived outside the Star Dou Great Forest in just a few days.
