After the train arrived at the station, everyone exited.
They did not enter the city, but instead headed into the mountains.
The Body Sect could be considered a reclusive sect. The secret of its status as the Heavenly Soul Empire's protective sect was known to very few.
That's why Vina was curious: how did Yuwen Tuo know about it?
The Body Sect was situated amidst treacherous natural chasms, surrounded by cliffs and precipices, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. An ordinary person walking here, if not careful, would likely be smashed to pieces.
Fortunately, everyone present was a Soul Master, so no matter how rugged the path, it was nothing to them.
Twenty li deep into the valley, through a dark, dense jungle, unexpectedly, at the end of the gloom, was a sudden clearing. What greeted their eyes was a grand and majestic giant mountain manor, surrounded by mountains and picturesque with clear waters.
A tall building in the center of the manor rose directly from the ground, emanating a powerful and awe-inspiring aura that was truly breathtaking.
From a distance, the building's shape was very peculiar, resembling a person meditating and cultivating, very similar to their sect's emblem.
This was the core of the Body Sect, the Body Tower.
It stood between heaven and earth, its majestic presence awe-inspiring. Every brick and tile spoke of an immortal legend.
While the Body Sect hadn't existed as long as Shrek Academy, it had been around for at least several thousand years. This grand building was filled with ancient charm and splendor.
"How amazing, this is the Body Sect? So beautiful and magnificent. I thought…" Xiao Xiao hesitated to finish her sentence.
Vina laughed, "You thought the Body Sect would be like an ancient castle, rustic and boring, didn't you?"
"No, I didn't mean that!" Xiao Xiao quickly waved her hands, explaining.
Vina comforted her, "It's alright, you don't need to worry. That's a common impression many people have of my Body Sect. But ultimately, our sect gathers all children with Body Martial Souls to better care for and nurture them. Naturally, we want to give them the best life. Although the Body Sect is currently in a semi-reclusive state, the Sect Master has said that he still hopes the children of the Body Sect can live in the sunlight."
"So that's how it is!" Xiao Xiao looked at Poison Douluo. She hadn't expected this seemingly rough Body Douluo to have such a sensitive side.
"The semi-reclusive state is also temporary. Back then, if Mu En hadn't killed my elder brother, and my elder brother and I had joined forces, who would the Body Sect have feared?" Poison Douluo said helplessly. "But now, my sect's high-end combat power is still insufficient. To protect the Body Sect's children and give them a stable growth environment, I must lead the sect to temporarily go into seclusion."
"Ao Tian, Tuo'er, Nana, whether the Body Sect can emerge earlier in the future depends on you all."
Poison Douluo looked at the three. The talents of these three were no less than his and his elder brother's.
Two were twin Martial Soul geniuses, and Long Aotian's cultivation speed was even faster than his own back then, having completed his Silver-level Second Awakening at a young age. Poison Douluo believed that in the future, he would definitely reach Golden-level Third Awakening.
"Grandpa Sect Master, what about me? I'm Tuo Tuo's girlfriend. Although I don't have a Body Martial Soul, I'm still considered a Body Sect disciple, right? You can't ignore me," Xiao Xiao pouted.
Poison Douluo was startled, then burst into laughter. "Haha, you're right. My sect disciple's wife is, of course, also a person of my sect. I almost forgot, you're also a twin Martial Soul genius. I apologize to you."
He rubbed Xiao Xiao's head. "As an apology, how about I personally give you a tour of your future home?"
This guy was extremely domineering towards outsiders, but indeed very gentle towards his own people.
He stepped forward and pushed open the large gate. What greeted them was a massive Soul Arena. The disciples of the Body Sect were engaged in fierce soul battles within the arena.
Their Martial Souls were all parts of their bodies, such as arms and legs.
This seemed to be a sect that nurtured itself through battle. Although it was only internal sparring, everyone was filled with fighting spirit, and each strike was merciless.
Only through full-strength battles could one strengthen their own power in combat.
Of course, the Body Sect would not allow its disciples to die from infighting. The powerhouses within the sect also stood outside the arena, observing the battles. Once someone was defeated, they would immediately intervene to stop the soul battle and prevent casualties.
It was precisely because these powerhouses were watching that the sect's disciples could fight to their heart's content.
However, at a glance, the sect's disciples probably numbered no more than a hundred. A powerful sect, claiming to be on par with the Mingde Hall and Sea God Pavilion, surprisingly had so few members.
"Grandpa Sect Master, have all the other sect members gone out?" Xiao Xiao asked.
Poison Douluo shook his head. "No, all my sect's disciples are already here. Body Martial Souls are very rare; how could they be found everywhere? But it doesn't matter. My sect's disciples value quality over quantity. As long as they complete their Second Awakening, every single one of my sect's disciples is a genius capable of fighting beyond their rank."
His words were confident, even arrogant, but he had good reason to be, because a Second Awakened Body Martial Soul was unreasonably strong. The Black Iron-level might not be too over-the-top, but even the Bronze-level was enough to elevate the Martial Soul's quality by one tier. Those who reached Silver-level would have their strength directly doubled, able to completely overwhelm opponents of the same rank, unless the opponent also possessed a divine-level Martial Soul or an ultimate Martial Soul, something beyond conventional Martial Souls.
"Little rascals, all of you, come here and meet your new junior brothers and sisters," Poison Douluo's voice boomed like a bell, a command given.
On the Soul Arena, everyone stopped their soul battles. A group of people gathered around Poison Douluo, shouting in unison, "Greetings, Sect Master."
Poison Douluo nodded, pointed at one of the young men, and said, "Yanfeng, come here."
"Yes, Sect Master!" A burly man with thick arms walked forward.
This person was over 1.9 meters tall, with a strong build, short hair, and bright, sharp eyes. Although his appearance wasn't particularly handsome, he exuded a very steady aura.
Poison Douluo introduced, "Tuo'er, Xiao Xiao, this is your senior brother, named Wang Yanfeng, a Bronze-level Second Awakened Body Martial Soul."
"Yanfeng, this is Yuwen Tuo, and beside him is his wife, Xiao Xiao. They are the new children of our Body Sect. Their future living arrangements and daily care will be entrusted to you."
"Yes, disciple understands!" Wang Yanfeng responded.
Although Yuwen Tuo now also knew Long Aotian and the others, matters of daily life and sustenance would certainly not fall to a Sect Master successor like Long Aotian.
In fact, Yuwen Tuo also knew this Wang Yanfeng; he had appeared in the original work.
Even though he was only a Bronze-level Second Awakened, the sheer magnitude of his strength made even Undying Douluo sigh, admitting that even at his Eighth Ring, he couldn't surpass the Sixth Ring Wang Yanfeng.
Even the Ninth Ring Undying Douluo had his arms tremble slightly from being shaken by the Sixth Ring Wang Yanfeng, showing how astonishing Wang Yanfeng's hand strength was.
