Chapter 149 The Three Religions and Eight Sects of the Sun and Moon Continent
"A Soul Master?"
"Level nine?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Tang Hao's eyes.
Although he rarely travels in the world of Soul Masters, he has heard of Soul Tools. They are all ancient relics, the most useful of which are storage Soul Tools.
He never expected that there would be a profession called Soul Master on another continent.
And there were even levels?
Long Gong Meng Shu was equally puzzled. On the Douluo Continent, people were more familiar with blacksmiths and Soul Masters, but had never heard of Soul Masters.
"Hey-hey!"
Seeing Tang Hao's confusion, Fatty Su patted his round chest, his face full of pride, and gestured with his hands. "Your Majesty Clear Sky, on our Sun and Moon Continent, Soul Master is a very common profession."
"Just like a Soul Master."
"Simply put, it involves using carving knives to carve arrays on various minerals to create Soul Tools with different special abilities."
"The levels range from level one to level nine, corresponding to the soul power level of a Soul Master."
"A level nine Soul Master is equivalent to a Title Douluo, and the difference between level one and level nine Soul Tools is enormous!"
"Oh?"
Tang Hao became interested. "Could you tell me about it?"
"Certainly!"
Fatty Su shook his head smugly. "Level one Soul Tools are just little gadgets for lighting and heating, while level three Soul Tools have attack power no less than the third soul skill of an ordinary Soul Master."
"With a level seven Soul Tool, a Soul Master can fight across realms."
"Level nine, huh..."
Fatty Su paused deliberately, then took out a kitchen knife from his storage Soul Tool. "Just like this Thousand Illusion Exquisite Knife, modeled after my martial soul Thousand Illusion Spirit Blade, it can be exquisitely varied and has extraordinary power."
"If an ordinary Soul Douluo were to wield this blade, he could fight against a Title Douluo."
"If a Beast Soul Title Douluo, known for his physical strength and combat prowess, possessed this blade, his combat power would be no less than that of a Limit Douluo."
"That's amazing!"
Looking at the pale blue kitchen knife in Su Pang's hand, covered with runes, Tang Hao and Long Gong Meng Shu couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement.
"This is truly a divine artifact!"
Tang Hao commented, "Even a master craftsman would find it difficult to forge a blade like this."
"Not the same."
Fatty Su shook his head. "Being a blacksmith is only a prerequisite for becoming a Soul Master. Every Soul Master is a good blacksmith, but not every blacksmith is necessarily a good Soul Master."
"The core of a Soul Master's creation of a Soul Guidance Device lies in carving a Soul Guidance Array."
"It is completely different from the tools made by ordinary blacksmiths."
Su Shou added from the side, "The Sun and Moon Continent also has a dedicated Soul Master Guild."
"In the Sun Moon Continent, Soul Masters hold an extremely high status, and the status of the Soul Master Guild is, in some ways, similar to that of the Spirit Hall on your Douluo Continent."
"They oversee the research, evaluation, and inheritance of Soul Tools..."
"Similar to the Spirit Hall?"
Long Gong Meng Shu clicked his tongue in amazement again. "Then the power of the Soul Master Guild must be...?"
"That's right!"
Fatty Su nodded, his expression becoming slightly more serious. "The Soul Master Guild is very powerful. Soul Masters are even more respected than Soul Masters on the Sun Moon Continent."
"However, the situation on the Sun Moon Continent is different from that on the Douluo Continent."
"On the Douluo Continent, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire are locked in a fierce struggle. In our land, the Sun Moon Continent has only one unified Sun Moon Empire."
"The imperial family itself is also a top-tier Soul Master family."
"With its powerful nation, the four great Soul Master legions swept across the Sun Moon Continent. However, precisely because of the development of Soul Tools, many Soul Masters became overly reliant on external aids, seeking shortcuts, leading to a decline in the continent's atmosphere..."
"It's a bit complicated."
Su Pang paused, his expression complicated. "The most prominent problem is the rampant presence of evil spirit masters within the territory."
"An evil spirit master?"
Tang Hao frowned slightly. The name alone made him instinctively feel disgusted, reminding him of the fallen Soul Masters of the Slaughter City.
The Fallen Soul Masters, under the encirclement and suppression of the Spirit Hall's Angel Legion, were far from rampant.
Although Tang Hao had no goodwill towards the Spirit Hall, he had to admit that it was precisely the Spirit Hall's severe crackdown on fallen Soul Masters that confined them to the City of Slaughter, preventing them from committing too many evil deeds.
"Right."
Su Shou took over, his voice carrying a hint of coldness. "The evil Soul Masters on the Sun Moon Continent are deeply entrenched, the most famous being the Three Religions and Eight Sects. Even the Sun Moon Empire has to give them some respect."
"The Three Religions and Eight Sects?"
Long Gong Meng Shu clicked his tongue. "What kind of evil and crooked practices are these?"
"Let's start with the three religions!"
Su Pang put away his playful demeanor and began to explain the distribution of power within the Sun Moon Empire to everyone, focusing particularly on Tang Chuan.
"The greatest religion in the world is the Ming Cult."
"Backed by the Sun Moon Empire, they advocate using soul beasts to temper and enhance their martial soul power. They specialize in hunting high-age soul beasts, extracting their blood and souls to integrate into their own martial soul. They act domineeringly, but they still have some bottom line. They are roughly a semi-official force."
"Secondly, there are the Evil Cults."
"They are stationed deep in the Demon Forest and have an unusual relationship with the soul beasts there."
"The members of this sect are almost all spiritual martial souls. Their methods are insidious and unpredictable. Moreover, they are generally quite skilled in Soul Tools, and each of them is a high-level Soul Master!"
"They also have intricate connections with the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire, and their attitude towards them is ambiguous."
"Finally, there's the Holy Spirit Cult, which everyone condemns!"
Fatty Su curled his lip, his face full of disdain. "They're just a bunch of madmen who do all sorts of evil!"
"They burn, kill, loot, and devour living souls without any bottom line. As long as it increases their strength, they will do any heinous thing!"
"Moreover, their method of recruiting members is extremely simple."
"If you publicly identify yourself as a member of the Holy Spirit Cult, then you are a member of the Holy Spirit Cult."
"That simple?"
Long Gong Meng Shu stared wide-eyed.
"Absolutely!"
Fatty Su nodded. "So the Holy Spirit Cult is the most complex and chaotic force on the Sun Moon Continent. It has the largest number of members, a mixed bag of people, and it is at odds with the Sun Moon Empire. Nobody likes them, but nobody can destroy them!"
"It is secretly recognized as the number one religion in the world."
Tang Hao and Long Gong Meng Shu listened with solemn expressions. The danger posed by an evil Soul Master force that could develop to the point of confronting the empire was unimaginable.
"What about the other eight sects?"
Tang Chuan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. He hadn't expected that at this point in time, the evil Soul Masters on the Sun Moon Continent would be so rampant.
"Eight sects!"
"They are all veteran forces among evil spirit masters, each with their own unorthodox methods!"
Fatty Su counted on his fingers one by one. "The first is the Evil Poison Sect. They are most famous for using poison. Their martial souls are poisonous, their soul skills are poisonous, and even their Soul Tools are poisoned. If you touch them, you will die."
"They act eccentrically, but are still relatively honest."
"The entire Evil Poison Sect secluded themselves in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons to immerse themselves in the study of poisons, rarely venturing out. Their eccentric behavior stems from their limited interaction with outsiders, and they act without much restraint..."
"Hmm~"
Tang Chuan pondered and said, "It sounds similar to Senior Dugu Bo."
