Chapter 26 Border Situation

"Yin Yi Eyes of Ice and Fire, there is actually such a treasure on this continent, and it is so close to us."

Di Yuan was a little stunned. He had lived for decades and was considered knowledgeable, but he had never heard of such a treasure land. Especially when he learned about the fairy-quality medicinal herbs there, he was shocked.

"Your strength has increased so quickly, is it because of those immortal herbs?"

Di Hong shook his head: "Not entirely. The fire element in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is very rich, even richer than the volcano where I practiced before. My training speed there will be nearly ten times faster than in the outside world."

After saying this, he took out a fiery red herb from his soul guide.

"This is Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. Father, please take it. Taking it may help you make further progress. It is not impossible for you to break through to the Title Douluo in the future."

Taking the Cockscomb Sunflower handed over by Di Hong, Di Yuan did not hide the desire in his eyes. He could naturally see that this was a good thing, but after thinking about it, he chose to give up.

"Forget it, my father is old, and his pursuit of improving soul power is not as strong as before."

As he said this, he handed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower to Di Yang.

"Boss, you should take it."

Although it was a good thing, he knew that even if he took this herb, his strength would not be greatly improved. Even if he could break through to the Titled Douluo, it would not be of much significance.

So it is better to leave such good things to outstanding future generations.

Di Yang also refused.

"It would be a waste to give it to me. I would give it to the fourth brother's descendants later."

Di Hong has an innate soul power of level 20, so there is no reason why his descendants would have poor talents. Giving this herb to his descendants will have a greater effect.

He returned the herbs to Di Hong. Di Hong had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and took out two other fire-attributed herbs, the Red Flame Flower. Although the effect of this herb was much worse than that of the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, it was still effective after all.

Di Yuan and Di Yang did not refuse the two medicinal herbs, but accepted them.

Di Hong naturally did not forget his mother Shen Ning, and he also prepared a medicinal herb for Shen Ning. Di Ming also naturally did not forget her. Although his talent was average, it did not mean that he would not prepare some for him. It would be a waste for his own family.

Besides, if you prepare it for your family, it won’t be a waste.

Although medicinal herbs are precious, they are not as precious as fairy herbs.

"You just came back, go back and rest first. Your father will accompany you to obtain the sixth spirit ring tomorrow."

"Yes." Di Hong stood up, bowed, then turned and left.

After returning to the room, he fell asleep immediately. He had been practicing for the past seven days and had not had a good rest yet. Di Yuan and the others went to the practice room to take herbs and practice in seclusion.

This sleep lasted until the next day.

At noon the next day, Di Yuan took him to hunt soul beasts. Now his soul power level has reached level 84. He has broken through one level in the past six years. After taking the herbs yesterday, he combed the meridians in his body again, and his soul power level increased by one level again.

"How old of a soul beast do you want for the sixth soul ring? Fifty thousand years old?"

In his opinion, a sixth soul ring of 50,000 years was already very good. His sixth soul ring was only over 20,000 years old, and his seventh soul ring was only 40,000 years old. But Di Hong was different. He had extremely high talent, and his fourth soul ring was a 10,000-year soul ring.

The fifth soul ring is a 30,000-year soul ring, so the sixth soul ring must be 40,000 or 50,000 years old.

Di Hong thought for a while and said, "Father, for my sixth soul ring I hope to have a 60,000-year soul beast." After taking the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, he could absorb a 60,000-year soul beast without any pressure. There was no need to consider a 40,000-year soul beast or a 50,000-year soul beast.

“Sixty thousand year soul beasts are not easy to find.” Emperor Yuan was thinking about where to find a suitable soul beast, and all the fire-attributed soul beasts in the kingdom flashed through his mind.

"How about the 60,000-year-old Fire Feather Bird King?"

This is the oldest fire-attributed soul beast in the kingdom. If this one doesn’t work, then we can only go to the Star Dou Great Forest.

"That's it."

Di Hong's eyes lit up. His first and second soul rings were the Fire-Feathered Bird, so it would be natural for him to use the Fire-Feathered Bird for his sixth soul ring as well. Moreover, it was a 60,000-year-old Fire-Feathered Bird King.

However, the only drawback is that once the Fire-Feathered Bird King is killed, there will be no more ten thousand year old Fire-Feathered Birds in the kingdom.

There used to be several ten thousand year old Fire Feather Birds, but they were all hunted. In order to hunt the ten thousand year old Fire Feather Birds, Di Yuan had fought with the Fire Feather Bird King many times, but the results were basically a draw. Six years ago, when he hunted for the first and second soul rings for Di Hong, he just ran away after catching them, for fear of alarming the Fire Feather Bird King.

He was not afraid, but it would be bad if Di Hong was hurt.

But this time it was different. He, an eighty-four soul douluo, plus Di Hong, a sixty-level soul emperor, were enough to deal with it.

Along the way, Di Hong discovered something wrong.

"Father, why are there so many people on this road?" He would not have asked this question in the past. After all, this road is a main road, and it is normal to have a lot of people. But today is different. There are many more people today than before, and many of them are dressed simply and bring their families with them.

Most of them were carrying luggage, which clearly showed that they had come from somewhere else.

Di Yuan closed his eyes and spoke slowly: "They all fled from the border of the empire."

"You don't know, something happened in the past few days."

"What's the matter?" Di Hong asked.

Emperor Yuan said: "The competition for the crown prince of Xingluo Empire has ended. Prince Dai Yutian deposed his brother and became the new crown prince. After he took the throne, the troops on the border of Xingluo Empire began to cross the border and attack towns and villages."

"There is also a large-scale military mobilization within the Xing Luo Empire. A large number of troops are gathering at the border, and they seem to be preparing for a full-scale invasion."

"Many people in border areas have already started fleeing, and what you see is only a part of it."

“There will be more to come.”

Di Hong did not expect that it had only been such a short time and the border situation had become serious again, and this time it seemed to be even more serious. The conflict between the two empires was not a one-day thing and they had basically fought every year, but there had not been many large-scale wars.

When the last large-scale war happened, he was not yet born, or rather, he had not yet traveled through time.

In that war, the two empires lost nearly 200,000 soldiers combined, and countless residents on the border were killed or injured. In the end, the Spirit Hall stepped in to mediate. Although the war did not determine the winner, everyone knew that the Tiandou Empire had lost.

Because the Tiandou Empire suffered greater losses, the Xingluo Empire got what it wanted.

If it weren't for the existence of the Spirit Hall, the military flag of the Star Luo Empire would have been planted on the top of the city wall of Tiandou City long ago. In terms of comprehensive national strength, the Star Luo Empire is stronger than the Tiandou Empire, thanks to the Star Luo inheritance system, which, although cruel, also makes every monarch very strong.

Today, both empires are in decline, but the decline of the Tiandou Empire is faster, and the constraints faced by Tiandou are greater than those of Xingluo.

The Xingluo Empire has wanted to destroy the Tiandou Empire and unify the continent for a long time. They have wanted to do this for generations. Even the Tiandou Empire wants to do so, but it does not have the strength.
