The tall old man whom Xu Xiaoyun called "Old Poisonous Man", that is, the current leader of the Body Sect, Du Bu Si, got the exact answer. His eyes changed repeatedly, and then he laughed loudly with a strong voice.
"Hahahaha, good, good, what can be wrong with this sect master? My martial soul is a unique martial soul of the body. Who can have a better body than me?"
"I didn't expect that you, an old turtle who has not walked around the world of soul masters for many years, would come to my Body Sect today. It's rare, so rare..."
"Swish—swish—swish—"
Just as Du Bu Si was laughing loudly, a series of stunning streaks of light flashed from the depths of the Body Sect, causing waves of air. Xu Xiaoyun raised his eyebrows slightly, and a hint of black light flashed in his eyes.
"Don't mess around. The people coming here are not enemies but old acquaintances of our sect. Our sect leader wants to have a good chat with them." Du Bu Si moved his hand back, signaling everyone in the Body Sect not to worry.
When he met Xu Xiaoyun again after a hundred years, he felt like an abyss or a prison, and his aura was unfathomable.
He was a Super Douluo at the peak of level ninety-eight, and was only one step away from becoming an Ultimate Douluo. Given this feeling, Xu Xiaoyun had clearly broken through before him and entered the level of Ultimate Douluo.
Although he was arrogant, he could roughly imagine how big the gap would be between the two levels. Now the opponent seemed to be a friend rather than an enemy. He did not want to attract enemies to the Body Sect, and there was no benefit in going to war with the Xuanming Sect.
"We understand." All the Titled Douluo from the Body Sect responded in unison. After seeing Xu Xiaoyun's face clearly, the expressions of some of them changed, as if they recalled Xu Xiaoyun's identity.
I didn't expect that even this old antique would come. The Body Sect has really had many distinguished guests during this period.
After dispersing the people from the Body Sect, Du Bu Si smiled kindly and took the initiative to extend his hand to lead the two men down: "Let's go, Brother Xu, you have come from afar, and our sect cannot be accused of not knowing etiquette."
Xu Xiaoyun followed Du Bu Si to the ground and walked on the mountain road of the Body Sect. He smiled a little strangely: "You old poisonous creature have never taken any rules in the world seriously. When did you pay attention to etiquette?"
Du Bu Si turned his head away and said, "Tsk!"
"What qualifications do ordinary people have to ask me to be polite? My Body Sect has always acted as we please, and we hate those rules and regulations the most."
"Haha, I'll just take it as a compliment from you." Xu Xiaoyun smiled faintly, thinking that the old poisonous guy also understood the ways of the world.
Du Bu Si sneered and said, "You have cultivated to this point now. It doesn't matter what I think of you. I heard that although Mu En is not dead, he is already disabled and will not live long."
"I'm afraid that in a few years, except for the mysterious Grand Master of the Haotian Sect, you, old turtle, will be invincible in the world. You will be the best defensive spirit master in the world."
Du Bu Si's tone was vague, and his voice was filled with envy. Reaching the ultimate realm, one would be able to look down on the world immediately. This was the dream of countless soul masters, including him.
Xu Xiaoyun smiled and did not agree, nor did he tell the other party about the existence of Long Xiaoyao, Ye Xishui and Kong Deming.
These three people reached the ultimate realm or possessed ultimate combat power much earlier than him. Although he was proud of his powerful martial spirit, he was probably not their match now and needed to calm down for a few more years.
However, there is no need to tell Du Busi this information for the time being. It is hard to say whether they will be enemies or friends in the future.
Xu Xiaoyun followed Du Bu Si to a pavilion with a great view and sat down. The disciples of the Body Sect brought a few bowls of wine and a few plates of fragrant spiritual fruits. It was simple yet grand.
After receiving a signal from Xu Xiaoyun, Xiao Changfeng stood outside and kept watch for the two of them.
This place is a great place for sightseeing, and you can just see everything that happens inside and outside the fighting arena. Du Bu Si took the initiative to speak, not without pride, and said: "Brother Xu, what do you think of these young disciples of mine?"
"They are all good. There are many good seedlings."
Xu Xiaoyun nodded slightly. At a glance, he saw that many of the young geniuses in the Body Sect were outstanding people with solid foundation and great talents.
"I saw that you were just observing my disciple Aotian. What do you think of his talent?" Du Bu Si asked with a smile.
Xu Xiaoyun lowered his eyes and said, "If you train him well, he should be able to reach your level. Your Body Sect will have a successor."
Long Aotian's talent for cultivation is superior to Xu Sanshi's, and his comprehension is also top-notch. It is a natural thing for him to become a Super Douluo. With the inheritance of the Body Sect, it is just a matter of time before reaching level 98.
But compared with Tianxi, it's still a little lacking.
"Ah~~ It's easier said than done to train the younger generation. I don't think he can definitely inherit the inheritance seed of my Body Sect."
Du Bu Si chuckled and said somewhat proudly: "His martial spirit is a panel, which is still a little worse than mine. I have no choice but to spend more effort."
"It is our duty to worry about the younger generations. Otherwise, there would be little meaning in living."
Xu Xiaoyun spoke calmly, his eyes scanning the surroundings, and drank a bowl of aged wine. The wine dripped down his chin and evaporated in an instant.
"That's right. By the way, I wonder what brings you here this time, Brother Xu? You're not just here to inform me that you've reached your limit, are you?"
Du Bu Si nodded in agreement, and then asked about Xu Xiaoyun's purpose.
In terms of their relationship, the two of them are old acquaintances who have fought a few times. They have some friendship but not much. The Body Sect and the Xuanming Sect have never had any dealings with each other, and they don't interfere with each other. The other party will not come to fight with them after a breakthrough.
Xu Xiaoyun raised his head, a faint smile welled up in his pupils, and said: "I have broken through my limits and have some feelings. I want to find you to confirm it. If the negotiation goes well, maybe we can make a deal."
His first purpose in coming here was to get Xu Tianxi a method to awaken his martial soul a second or even a third time. The Xu family had also studied the second awakening, so he had some guesses, but he couldn't be sure.
"Confirmation of enlightenment? What enlightenment?"
Du Bu Si thought that Xu Xiaoyun wanted to share the essence of cultivation with him, so he quickly moved closer and stared at Xu Xiaoyun.
"Regarding the perception of martial souls, your body sect controls the method of secondary awakening of the body martial soul. The descendants of my Xuanming lineage can also hold a special martial soul awakening ceremony to stimulate the blood hidden deep in the body. Now I think that perhaps the two have the same goal."
Xu Xiaoyun stated his guess seriously, and then said: "From what I think, there are roughly two ways to awaken the martial soul for the second time. The first is to stimulate the potential of the soul master. There are many forms. It can be a special awakening ceremony like my Xuanming lineage, or it can be to stimulate the potential in battle or crisis. Am I right?"
Du Bu Si nodded: "Yes, the principle of the second awakening method of my original lineage martial soul is roughly like this."
The method of secondary awakening of martial souls controlled by their Body Sect is to squeeze human potential to the extreme and stimulate the emergence of new potential in desperate situations.
The first ancestor who founded the Body Sect was framed and sank into the sea. Under the pressure of the sea, his martial soul awakened a second time and he possessed a powerful body martial soul.
These things were secrets that should not be admitted, but since Xu Xiaoyun had already guessed it, there was no point in him denying it. The change in his expression could not escape the eyes of this old turtle.
That's good. Then I know what to do.
Xu Xiaoyun nodded secretly and continued, "And the second method is to absorb good things such as natural treasures and earthly treasures, absorb huge amounts of energy from the outside world, and promote the evolution of the martial soul, just like the martial souls of some soul masters in history evolved after absorbing the seventh or ninth soul ring, right?"
Xu Xiaoyun had not thought of this path before. He came up with the idea after learning from Xu Tianxi the process of his Xuanming Turtle Shell Shield evolving into the Dark Gold Basalt Shield, and then thinking of more ancient examples.
Du Bu Si's expression changed when he heard this. He thought for a moment before nodding slowly:
"In the history of our sect, there were indeed ancestors who accidentally ate natural treasures and completed the second awakening by accident. What do you mean by mentioning this? What does it have to do with your breakthrough?"
Xu Xiaoyun laughed and said, "Of course it is related. You and I have both been at the ninety-eighth level for a long time. Now looking back on the past, I have figured out a truth."
"What's the reason? Brother Xu, don't keep us in suspense." Du Bu Si's face showed a hint of anxiety.
"It's very simple. With our spirit rings and spirit bones, we can only cultivate to level ninety-eight, which is the limit of the human body. If we want to go further, we must have a great opportunity!"
Xu Xiaoyun spoke in a sonorous voice, and then pointed at Du Bu Si: "Your martial soul, spirit rings, and spirit bones are all top-notch, but you can't take that step. Why? Your potential has been tapped to its full potential, and you can't force out more potential."
"Just like a soul master who wants to evolve his martial soul, if he doesn't have much talent by nature, it will be meaningless even if he squeezes it in every way. Your body sect has classified the body martial souls with different potentials."
As soon as the words fell, the air suddenly froze.
Du Bu Si's face turned ugly, a gloomy look appeared between his brows, his eyelids drooped, and a chill suddenly rose inside and outside the pavilion for no reason.
In other words, the person who said this was Xu Xiaoyun, an Extreme Douluo with all his limbs intact. If it were anyone else, even if Mu En was here, he would have rolled up his sleeves and fought even if he couldn't kill him with the poison!
What the other party said was equivalent to telling himself that his potential had been exhausted and there was no hope of making further progress in this life; what made Du Bu Si even more angry was that what Xu Xiaoyun said actually made some sense!
No one understood better than him how cruel and painful the Body Sect's cultivation method was. He had never slacked off in his cultivation for more than two hundred years, and his body's potential had long been squeezed out, but he still could not take that step, which was enough to prove that the other party was right.
Fortunately, the other party's words left him a way out. Du Bu Si suddenly drank a large bowl of wine, smashed the bowl with a wave of his hand, leaned his arm on the table, and said coldly:
"Brother Xu, your advice is profound. We are grateful for your guidance. Do you have any other advice for me?"
Great, you've taken the bait.
Xu Xiaoyun smiled faintly: "Of course I am going to look for opportunities. Only in this way can I make further progress."
"It's easy to say, but how easy is it for me to go further?"
Du Bu Si shook his head repeatedly. Seeing Xu Xiaoyun still smiling, a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. He couldn't help but lean forward a little, staring at the other person with his eyes flashing with brilliance:
"Could it be that the cooperation that Brother Xu mentioned is to take me to find that great opportunity?"
"good."
Xu Xiaoyun nodded, stretched out a finger, and said in a low voice: "I accidentally discovered a place where the original seven Shrek monsters who ascended to become gods may have obtained the magic grass. If you are willing to lend me something, I will take you there to explore."
"how?"
"Bang!"
Du Bu Si collapsed the stone table with his elbow, but he seemed not to notice. He stared at Xu Xiaoyun with his eyes as excited as if they were about to pop out, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his throat.
"You tell me what you want, baby! I'm going to do it with you!"
Xu Xiaoyun said calmly: "Simple, the secret book of your Body Sect's lineage."
These words were spoken lightly, but when they fell, the fire burning in Du Bu Si's eyes was extinguished. He blinked, then gritted his teeth and said word by word:
"Old turtle, what did you say you wanted to borrow? Did I hear you correctly...?"
"You heard me right. What I want to borrow is the Secret Book of the Body of your Body Sect. Don't worry, I swear in the name of the Ultimate Douluo that I will only show it to one person and will never pass it on to anyone else. After you have read it, I will return it to its original owner."
Xu Xiaoyun took a bite of the pear calmly and said as if nothing had happened.
"Boom——!"
An unparalleled mighty soul power instantly surged out from the pavilion, and a dark green light column shot up into the sky. The huge stone pavilion instantly shattered into pieces, exploded into a pile of rubble, and then turned into powder in an instant.
"Old turtle, I'm going to fight you today! Let me see how capable you are as an Extreme Douluo!"
