Chapter 9: Fortune
A month passed.
At the border between the Star Luo Empire and the Sun Moon Empire, a magnificent and bustling city stood.
This city was not only strategically important but also served as a crucial hub for trade between the two nations.
Especially for items like Soul Guidance Devices.
At this moment, in an antique inn within the city, Jin Tianming sat leisurely by the window in a private room.
His deep and bright eyes gazed quietly at the bustling street outside and the distant undulating mountains, as if wanting to take in everything in the World.
He gently picked up the teacup on the table, first sniffing the rising aroma of the tea, then taking a small sip. Instantly, a fresh and elegant taste spread in his mouth, making him intoxicated.
However, Mo Yan, who had come here with Jin Tianming, was not present.
Mo Yan had gone alone to gather information. The army stationed in this city was the White Tiger Army led by the White Tiger Duke, making it a bit troublesome to pass through.
However, these so-called minor troubles were nothing significant to Jin Tianming.
After all, if he were truly in a hurry to leave, it would be enough for Mo Yan to take him away. But at this moment, Jin Tianming showed no sign of urgency.
Because he had another plan in mind: to find out whether the rumored strongest Soul King of ten thousand years had appeared during this period.
If this legendary figure was indeed here, Jin Tianming planned to have his Engulfing Sky Dragon use its Dragon Soul technique to firmly control him.
In this way, this strongest Soul King of ten thousand years could become part of his and his Engulfing Sky Dragon's own strength, and might even become a mysterious trump card to decide victory at a crucial moment!
Especially annoying Xuan Zi should be very fun.
Thinking of this, the corners of Jin Tianming's mouth curved slightly upward, and a barely noticeable glint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
That was the strongest Soul King who escaped from a Super Douluo!
At that time, when his Engulfing Sky Dragon saw that plot and comic, he really wanted to say, “Xuan Zi, you are truly useless!” If Yuhao hadn't had Iliex, relying on that insect, at most he could have only made that Soul King's brain dizzy.
It was absolutely impossible to kill the strongest Soul King. At that time, unless the Douluo Plane personally intervened, Yuhao would have really died and gone to see his mother.
Oh, no! His mother seemed to have been taken away by the guy with the trident.
However, there is one thing that really deserves praise: the strongest Soul King's Corpse Explosion was far more powerful than the Engulfing Sky Dragon's Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion!
The Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion needed a clone as a medium to accumulate explosive energy, but the Corpse Explosion was different. This explosion could simply be described as “simple and brutal.” As long as half of the corpse poison was touched, “bang,” it would explode!
Who wouldn't be tempted by that?
It was simply a human-shaped Soul Guidance Device parasitic explosion remote control!
“Golden Dragon!”
“How was it?”
Jin Tianming heard Mo Yan's voice, knowing he had returned, and asked with a hint of anticipation.
Mo Yan's voice rang out again, “Sorry, Golden Dragon, your subordinate did not find that strongest Soul King!” His tone sounded very frustrated. As the most trusted subordinate of the Immortal and Golden Dragon, he couldn't even do this small thing well.
It truly disgraced both adults.
Jin Tianming heard this answer, and his eyes were clearly disappointed, but not overly so, as it was an expected answer.
As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
“Golden Dragon, your subordinate is somewhat unworthy of you!” Mo Yan, in the shadows, seeing that the Golden Dragon said nothing, mistakenly thought he had disappointed Jin Tianming. He quickly added, “Golden Dragon, give me some more time, and I can definitely find him!”
Jin Tianming heard this and looked at the shadows in confusion, but he quickly understood and waved his hand, saying, “It's alright. It was within my expectations that you didn't find that guy. You've already done very well.”
“Not finding him isn't your fault. There's no need to be too hard on yourself.” Jin Tianming really didn't expect that just because he didn't speak, Mo Yan would start overthinking. The Engulfing Sky Dragon's Dragon Soul enslavement of people was truly a bit heaven-defying.
“Yes, Adult!” Mo Yan's heart, which had been filled with self-reproach, instantly vanished upon hearing the Golden Dragon's words.
He immediately responded without hesitation, “Adult, please rest assured, I will spare no effort to find him!” As soon as his voice fell, Mo Yan's eyes gleamed with fervent and reverent light, as if that light could penetrate all obstacles and reach its target.
At this moment, Mo Yan's heart was already occupied by a firm belief—no matter the cost, he must thoroughly search that city, even if he had to dig three feet deep, he would dig out the person known as the strongest Soul King!
Because for him, the Golden Dragon's command was the supreme decree, allowing no slack or disobedience.
Now, in this World, only two people could earn his utmost respect. Oh, no, now there was also Princess Mo Yan!
Jin Tianming heard this and looked at Mo Yan with a bit of bewilderment. This Dragon Soul modified person was truly awesome.
He took in the fanaticism and respect in Mo Yan's eyes, waved his hand, and said, “There's no need for that. We're preparing to go to the Sun Moon Empire. There are more Evil Soul Masters there that can be sent back to the Engulfing Sky Dragon.”
“Yes!”
Mo Yan heard Jin Tianming's new order. Although there was some disappointment in his eyes, he immediately accepted the command. He got up to prepare.
In the Douluo Continent, a World full of fantasy and fierce battles, the distribution of fortune in this era presented an extremely unbalanced situation.
If this fortune were likened to a night sky full of twinkling stars, then Yuhao alone would be like the most brilliant and dazzling Big Dipper, occupying as many as five measures of it!
On the other hand, the powerful and ambitious Sun Moon Empire had gained one measure of fortune. They were like a bright moon hanging high in the sky, though not as brilliant as Yuhao, they also had an undeniable influence, especially in Soul Guidance Devices.
Soul Beasts occupied three measures, due to the continued existence of the Soul Beast Emperor Auspicious Beast in this era.
As for the remaining one measure of fortune, it was jointly divided by the three great nations—Star Luo, Heaven Dou, and Dou Ling—and the long-standing Shrek Academy.
If Shrek hadn't had the Son of Fortune Yuhao and the descent of Tang San, it would have long been swallowed by the Sun Moon Empire and become the Sun Moon Shrek Academy.
“Let Mo Yan and other future clone companions plan for Shrek’s fortune. I, Jin Tianming, alone am enough for that one measure of fortune of the Sun Moon Empire!” Jin Tianming took another sip of tea, his gaze out the window filled with confidence and arrogance. From today on, he would make his name and Martial Soul resound throughout the entire continent!
Jin Tianming finished his last sip of tea, got up, put down the teacup, left three gold Spirit coins, and exited the private room.
He was determined to obtain the fortune of the Sun Moon Empire!
