Chapter 24 The Sky Over Douluo Continent is Too Dark
It took Tang Wulin a lot of effort to find the right way to the Spirit Pagoda with the help of a kind person. Donghai City has many roads that lead in all directions, and if you take the wrong road, you will have to go a long way around.
The Spirit Transmission Tower in Donghai City is far superior to the Spirit Transmission Tower in Aolai City, where Tang Wulin once lived. As one of the eighteen branch towers of the Spirit Transmission Tower organization, these eighteen large Spirit Transmission Towers are also known as the Eighteen Heavenly Pillars.
The Spirit Pagoda can be seen from a great distance. It has over a hundred floors and is more than four hundred meters tall. Even in the high-rise city of Donghai, it is a landmark building.
The base of the Spirit Pagoda is octagonal and occupies a very large area. Every ten floors upwards, it narrows inwards until it reaches the spire at the top.
Just by looking at its exterior, one can feel its magnificent and imposing presence.
If the branch towers are already like this, how enormous must the headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda, the place known as the Heavenly Spirit Pagoda, be?
Tang Wulin remembered that the Spirit Pagoda headquarters was located in Mingdu, the capital of the Federation, which was one of the core cities of the entire Federation. It and Shrek City were the only two mega-cities on the continent.
Upon entering the first floor of the Spirit Pagoda, one is immediately struck by its magnificent interior decoration. The floor is paved with dark gold stone with dazzling natural patterns, and massive stone pillars support a dome that is tens of meters high. Even more breathtaking are the pillars and the exquisite colorful murals on the dome.
These murals are resplendent in gold, depicting landscapes and figures, seemingly recording a story.
"I've never seen these murals before in the Aolai branch pagoda," Tang Wulin asked curiously, pulling over a passerby. "Big brother, what are these murals?"
The person who had been pulled aside was in a good mood and didn't argue with Tang Wulin. Seeing that he was handsome and a child, he cheerfully explained to him, "The mural records the story of the first Spirit Pagoda Master, a legendary Soul Master and the inventor of Soul Spirits, the Spirit Ice Douluo. Only the eighteen Heavenly Pillar-level branch towers and the headquarters have this mural. This mural depicts the scene of the first tower master and his wife meeting."
Tang Wulin seemed to be deep in thought. Upon closer inspection, he saw a man with a blurred face standing on the shore, facing the towering waves, above which was a giant whale.
"The first Tower Master's wife was a sea spirit beast? A being capable of causing such a natural disaster?"
The man smiled. "Who knows? But it's probably true. It's based on the memories of Deputy Tower Master Di Tian and the others. The murals at the Spirit Tower headquarters record the signing of contracts between Spirit Ice Douluo, the Snow Emperor of the Far North, Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Evil Emperor of the Demon Forest. It symbolizes the beginning of a new relationship between humans and soul beasts, and that day is now designated as the first year of the Spirit Ice Calendar."
"Alright, kid, go find your parents. I have to go now."
After the man left, Tang Wulin continued to stare at the mural, his heart pounding. He had heard that the tower masters at headquarters were among the strongest on the continent, and he wondered if he would ever be able to meet them and hear them recount that glorious era.
Tang Wulin stared at the mural for a long time before reluctantly turning his gaze away.
A thought inexplicably popped into my head: I can take his place!
Tang San's divine sense: "That's right! That's exactly it, Wu Lin."
It seems that my teachings have been effective. Wu Lin has indeed begun to awaken to the fine traditions and excellent character of the Tang family and has become a qualified member of the Tang family.
Seeing this, Tang San felt extremely gratified. He had almost given up on Wu Lin before, and every day he watched as the other party was gradually brainwashed by the Spirit Pagoda's sweet bullets, which made him feel anxious and sad.
Now I can finally relax a bit. That's how it is. I'm using the money from the Spirit Pagoda to destroy it! Remember, the Spirit Pagoda has a history of... oh no, it's our Tang family's.
I think Wu Lin has a lot of his father's style.
"That's still too far removed from my current reality," Tang Wulin thought, turning away and walking towards the service counter.
"Hello, young man, what brings you here? Are you here to purchase a spirit?"
The waiter behind the counter said in a soft voice.
The Spirit Pagoda doesn't just handle the purchase of spirits; they also post daily tasks, allowing spirit masters who need money to do odd jobs here.
You can also buy some medicines and other supplies here.
In general, the higher the level of the Spirit Tower branch, the more diverse its functions, even squeezing out some of the niches of professional associations.
However, in essence, these professional associations also originated from the first tower master of the Spirit Pagoda. They can only protest against the Spirit Pagoda in private, so what can they say in public?
"I am Tang Wulin, who transferred from the Aolai Branch Tower to the East Sea Branch Tower. This is my identification document," Tang Wulin said shyly, taking a document out of the silver ring that Mang Tian had given him and placing it on the counter with a slightly uneasy expression.
A hint of surprise flashed in Yunshui's eyes as she looked at Tang Wulin intently, as if trying to imprint his appearance in her mind.
He's only a few years old, and he's already been recruited into an organization? He must have some extraordinary talent; a little genius like him has limitless potential for future achievements.
She didn't suspect Tang Wulin of forgery, because there was no need to. The Spirit Pagoda's review process was very strict, and forgery could be easily detected with a scan.
Yunshui placed the document on the scanner. After seeing the green light indicating no abnormalities, she picked it up again to examine the information. She then solemnly opened the internal website to begin the transfer procedure.
"Alright, little brother Tang Wulin, I'll take you to get some equipment. This is a perk only for internal staff."
…………
In a room on a high floor of the Spirit Pagoda.
Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena were both stunned when they saw the name that appeared on the screen; it was clear that they were both surprised.
Sikong Hong assigned them to handle some data sorting tasks, ostensibly to hone their work skills and accumulate experience for their future careers, but in reality, he was heartlessly using child labor, a heinous crime.
But Huo Yuhao and the other person still obediently came over to tidy up.
There's no way around it; cultivation costs money, and cultivation in the Spirit Pagoda costs even more money. What it needs are internal contribution points, which are even more precious than money. Even Han Tianyi only gives them a limited number of contribution points each month.
However, they need too many things, and their contribution points are often insufficient, so they can only earn some extra money.
"Tang Wulin, it's him!"
Gu Yuena's expression turned cold as she immediately thought of the original romance storyline in the novel.
The dragon was furious!
Alright, you naturally wicked little devil Tang, now that you're in my hands, I'll teach you a lesson!
Now all that's left is to slam the table and stand up.
Huo Yuhao: ...
He rolled his eyes at Gu Yuena speechlessly. "Your thoughts are written all over your face. Please, can you use your brain for once?"
If you want to get rid of Tang Wulin, what reason do you have to do so? After all, he's already a member of the Spirit Pagoda.
Moreover, he possesses Tang San's divine consciousness. With three attacks and a little bit of feigned innocence, he was able to take down the Abyss Saint King. If you want to die, don't splatter your blood on me.
but……
Looking at the information on the screen, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Tang Wulin, 9 years old, martial soul Blue Silver Grass (suspected to be mutated), and suspected to have a special bloodline that enhances his strength. He is currently a level two blacksmith. He has gained the recognition of a hundred-year-old soul spirit and was recommended by Chen Yuan, the spirit transfer master of Aolai City, to join the Spirit Transfer Tower... It is recommended to investigate his background information, continue to observe him, and nurture him vigorously."
Just like in the original timeline, he's a level two blacksmith, so it seems he still has the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King? So what exactly is happening in the God Realm right now?
Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised that the Golden Dragon King would die. This guy had brains, but not many, and was too confident in his own strength.
Whether it's Tang Sansheng or the God of Destruction Sheng, they can both defeat the Golden Dragon King. After all, the Golden Dragon King is just like Gilgamesh, having encountered his natural nemesis.
The difference is that the Golden Dragon King is genuinely brainless, while Gilgamesh's brain has been forcibly eaten away by his fans, who have taken the original text out of context.
The fact that the Golden Dragon King's bloodline still resides within Tang Wulin proves that the God of Destruction has ultimately failed. His divine potential has been completely drained by Tang San; a tragic end.
The thought of "returning after ten thousand years" only to have the divine position given to his son and daughter-in-law by Tang San without any regard for personal relationships made Huo Yuhao want to laugh, but he couldn't laugh anymore.
Damn Tang San!
Damn it, your credit score is so good! How did you manage to get it like that?! I'm not convinced!
The sky in the Douluo Universe is still too dark.
The embodiment of divine will is truly invincible.
