Chapter 39 Withdrawal
After absorbing the soul bone, Di Hong's soul power level reached level 67. He was only three levels away from reaching the Soul Saint level. If he went back to practice after the war, it would probably take less than a year for him to break through to the Soul Saint level and obtain the seventh soul ring.

How long has it been? Just one year.

The speed of cultivating the innate soul power at level 20 is different.

Come to think of it, Qian Renxue was undercover for twenty years, and most of the time was wasted. She was able to cultivate to the Soul Saint level. He was not undercover, so his cultivation time was basically not wasted, so his improvement speed was about the same.

Now think about it, was he a little too conservative when acquiring the spirit ring?

In terms of physical fitness and strength, he is far superior to soul masters of the same level.

Thinking about it, he actually felt a little regretful. Perhaps his first soul ring could absorb an eight-hundred-year-old soul beast, and the second soul ring could directly reach a thousand-year-old soul beast.

Perhaps he was too cautious at the time and thought that a first soul ring of four hundred years was very good. In fact, it was indeed very good. Among the soul masters, there were very few who had a first soul ring of four hundred years, probably only one in ten.

There are even many soul masters whose first soul ring is not a hundred-year soul ring.

His sixth soul ring is a sixty thousand year old Fire Feather Bird King. According to his plan, the seventh soul ring will absorb a ninety thousand year old soul beast, and then the eighth and ninth soul rings will choose to find a hundred thousand year old soul beast to absorb.

Perhaps he could directly try to use his seventh soul ring to hunt down a hundred thousand year soul beast, but he might not be able to defeat it.

Even an ordinary Titled Douluo might not be able to defeat a hundred thousand year soul beast, let alone him.

There are several hundred thousand year old soul beasts on the continent in the Star Dou Great Forest, but he did not consider them because he could not defeat them. He did not think that he, a Soul Emperor, could fight against the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, and those two soft-bone rabbits would probably be in trouble.

It seems that Tang San’s future wife has not yet transformed.

A hundred thousand year old soul beast with fire attribute is even harder to find.

"We can only take one step at a time and see what happens."

Since the first and second soul rings cannot be changed, let's leave it like this for now and find a way to increase their age later, such as taking the divine test to increase the age of the soul rings.

If he were to take part in the divine test, Poseidon would undoubtedly be the most suitable. As a fire attribute soul master, it would be impossible for him to inherit the throne of Poseidon, so using the power of Poseidon's divine test to enhance his own strength would undoubtedly be the most suitable.

In the following month, no large-scale battles broke out between the two empires, but the confrontations between soul masters never stopped, and envoys from the two countries also held negotiations in the Spirit Hall.

During the negotiations between the two empires, both sides had frank exchanges, fully exchanged views on issues of mutual concern, and enhanced mutual understanding.

The results of the talks were still beneficial. The Tiandou Empire was reserved about the Xingluo Empire's exorbitant demands.

The first negotiation ended in failure and no one got what they wanted.

Then came the second round of negotiations. The two countries were magnanimous in their verbal battles. After all, they were the only two empires on the continent and they still had to save face. So during the negotiations, the delegations of the two countries had cordial and friendly exchanges on the physical level.

This left everyone in the Spirit Hall speechless. How could this group of people who were not spirit masters fight more fiercely than the spirit masters?

If the Spirit Hall hadn't stopped the two sides, I'm afraid someone would have been killed. After all, both sides had already picked up benches and teacups.

After nearly a month of negotiations, the two sides have not reached any results, but the Xingluo Empire can no longer wait, because their front-line military logistics are constantly harassed and the logistics pressure is very high. As for increasing troops to continue fighting the Tiandou Empire.

That's definitely not possible.

The war between the two sides has always been controlled at a certain degree. The attack of the Xingluo Empire only captured some border mines and towns, and did not cross the Lima Plain, or it could not pass through at all.

They definitely don't want to fight to the death at Jialing Pass, but if they attack the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom to the north, they will easily be caught in a pincer attack.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall will not allow the scale of the war to expand. If the Xingluo Empire really dares to launch a war of annihilation, then the Spirit Hall will dare to help the Tiandou Empire with all its strength.

Therefore, it is impossible to increase the number of troops, and we can only negotiate and get more benefits.

Inside the military camp.

Looking at the soldiers who were training, Di Hong felt a little bored.

"Is there no way to reach a conclusion in the negotiations with the Spirit Hall?" "It is probably because the Xingluo Empire asked for too much, and the Tiandou Empire cannot accept it."

"Just wait, maybe there will be results in a month or two."

Di Yang had no choice. The outcome of the war was not something he could decide. Now that the Xing Luo Empire was not attacking, both sides were just wasting time and waiting for the final result.

Dai Yutian didn't dare to attack again. The battle with Di Hong left some psychological trauma on him. A Soul Saint died in the hands of Di Hong. If he had fought against Di Hong at that time, he would have died in the hands of Di Hong without any guessing, if no one rescued him.

Just a fire shield can hurt him.

And his burned hands haven't fully healed yet.

Another month passed, and the two empires finally reached an agreement. The Tiandou Empire paid two important mineral veins, and the Xingluo Empire decided to stop while it was going ahead, so it agreed.

After learning the result, Di Hong sighed.

"Hundreds of thousands of people fought a great battle, suffered huge casualties, and in the end, only two mineral veins were obtained."

"We can give nothing to the Xing Luo Empire. If we continue to waste resources, Xing Luo will not be able to hold on."

Di Yang was also helpless.

"There's nothing we can do. I heard that the Second Prince said something to the Emperor, causing him to agree to some of Xing Luo's demands."

"When I went to see the prince just now, he was very angry and almost cursed."

Although Xue Ye's training in martial arts is average, he is a hardliner. What he advocates is the country's territory, and he will not give up an inch, so the result of the negotiations will naturally not satisfy him.

However, even anger would be useless. The peace treaty had already been signed. The Xing Luo Empire would withdraw its troops and they would go back to their own homes.

This war was undoubtedly a failure for them. They gained nothing, suffered casualties, and lost two mines.

Mineral resources are extremely important strategic resources. It is really heartbreaking to lose two mineral veins at once.

There is another thing in this negotiation, that is, the Spirit Hall plans to hold a spirit master exchange meeting. The location is in Spirit City and the time is set for half a year later. Whether it is a free spirit master, a spirit master academy, or a sect family or an empire's spirit master, everyone can participate.

However, the prerequisite is that the soul power level cannot exceed Soul Sage.

That is to say, anyone below level 70 can participate, of course, including level 70 soul masters, as long as they have not obtained the seventh soul ring.

No age limit, no background limit.

A few days later, the Xing Luo Empire withdrew its troops.

The armies of Tiandou's affiliated kingdoms also began to withdraw one after another.

Before Di Hong left, Xue Ye found him.

"Brother Di Hong, I hope you can attend the Soul Master Exchange Conference in half a year."

"Me?" Di Hong pointed at himself.

"Yes." Xue Ye nodded.

"But I'm already level 67 now. Maybe I'll break through to level 70 in half a year."

Patting Di Hong on the shoulder, Xue Ye still said it even though it was a little difficult to say.

"Although this is unfair to you, I still hope you can attend. This soul master exchange meeting is very important."

Pursing his lips, Di Hong nodded in agreement.
