Douluo Dalu:Breaking Clan

Yang Podi took a break at home for some time, not involving himself in any outside matters or cultivation. He simply sat or lay down quietly, enjoying this rare tranquility and peace.

The entire clan seemed to have a mutual understanding, as no one disturbed Yang Podi and Ye Lingling's private time together, making it appear as if everything was calm and serene.

In this peaceful environment, Yang Podi felt that his killing intent could be well-controlled. By his own estimation, even if he faced Di Tian, the Black Dragon King, he could remain undefeated.

One day, Yang Podi returned to the clan, and it seemed as if nothing had changed.

Everyone was diligently cultivating, though in addition to the original five companions, there were now the few members from the Elemental Academy and Ning Rongrong.

Yang Tianyue, however, was a bit boastful as she clung to Yang Podi, acting coquettishly. "Brother, I've now reached level 90! I'll soon be a Titled Douluo. Am I amazing or what?"

Unable to help himself, Yang Podi patted Yang Tianyue's head. "My sister is indeed amazing, reaching the Titled Douluo rank so quickly. But you need to work even harder. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to break through to level 99 within twenty years."

Over the past two years, the five companions had made considerable progress. Yang Tianyue had just reached the Titled Douluo rank and was now only one spirit ring short.

Niu Meng, after two years of cultivation, had only reached level 86 and was still some distance away from becoming a Titled Douluo. However, his uncle Niu Mang had reached the Titled Douluo rank six months ago and had already acquired a spirit ring.

Ye Lingling and Yang Ping'an were both at level 94, qualifying as formidable experts.

Dugu yan was at level 87, but it seemed unlikely she would have another breakthrough in the short term.

As for the other members of the academy, they had not experienced any changes. At their current levels, it had become increasingly difficult to advance.

Yang Podi secretly sought out his father Yang Zhentian, his grandfather Yang Wudi, and his second granduncle Yang Wushuang. He handed over the six spirit bones he had obtained from Tang Chen.

When Yang Zhentian saw the six spirit bones, his eyes were wide with shock. "Podi, where did you get these top-grade spirit bones? These are worth a fortune."

Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking. "These came from Tang Chen. Tang Chen died in the Slaughter City, and I took these spirit bones from him. This is a matter of great importance, so it's best to keep it a secret and not let anyone else know."

"As for these six spirit bones, let's make them the inherited spirit bones of our clan. Try to avoid letting others find out about them."

Grandfather Yang Wudi seemed a bit melancholic. "To think that Tang Chen, who dominated the continent for most of his life, would die in such a baffling manner. Podi, how exactly did Tang Chen die?"

Yang Podi hesitated before explaining. "Tang Chen was the successor of the Asura God. He participated in the trials for the Asura God, but he failed the eighth trial. He spent the following years trapped in madness within the Slaughter City and only recently passed away."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. To them, gods were aspirational but unreachable. The fact that divine trials could be so challenging was disheartening.

Yang Zhentian frowned, clearly troubled. "Podi, if the divine trials are so dangerous, will you and Tianyue be okay?"

Yang Podi shook his head. "I should be fine. I already have plans for my future. As for Tianyue, it might be more troublesome. She has only twenty years to reach level 99, and you all know how difficult that is, especially breaking through from level 98 to level 99. It's a nearly insurmountable challenge."

"Podi, Tianyue has reached level 90 now. How will she obtain her ninth spirit ring? What kind of spirit ring should it be?"

After a moment of hesitation, Yang Podi replied, "Father, as the successor of the Sea God, Tianyue must demonstrate her strength. To become a god, one needs talent, effort, wisdom, and courage. She can't rely on me for everything. She must learn to face challenges independently."

"Otherwise, even if Tianyue becomes a god, she'll be the weakest of gods. Keep in mind, gods can fall as well."

"As for her ninth spirit ring, I won't be going with her. You all should accompany her to the Extreme North. There are excellent water-attributed spirit beasts there, but the key is to let Tianyue think and act independently."

Yang Podi had deliberated for a long time about this ninth spirit ring for Yang Tianyue, but he ultimately decided to let her figure it out herself. As a divine successor, she couldn't lack this capability. Otherwise, she wouldn't be qualified to inherit a divine position.

After hearing Yang Podi's reasoning, everyone fell silent. The path to godhood was fraught with challenges. Although Tianyue was talented, her advantages weren't as significant as they seemed. This final spirit ring would be a true test for her.

After much contemplation, Yang Podi took out a few more items, including two manuals and a small golden hammer.

The two manuals were none other than the Clear Sky Sect's secret techniques: the Nine Absolutes of the Clear Sky and the Great Sumeru Hammer. For the Breaking family, which also wielded tool martial souls, these techniques were relatively suitable.

As for the small golden hammer, it was the Clear Sky Sect's inheritance token. Handing it over to his grandfather was also a way to tie up loose ends since it held no practical value for him.

Yang Wudi and Yang Wushuang, holding the small golden hammer, appeared deeply saddened. Having followed the Clear Sky Sect for most of their lives—nearly a century—it was heartbreaking to see things come to such an end.

Yang Wudi thought for a while before speaking. "Podi, I think we should return this golden hammer to the Clear Sky Sect. It would be our final contribution to them."

Yang Podi nodded. "This small hammer has no use to us. Secretly return it to the Clear Sky Sect, but ensure our identity remains hidden."

Afterward, everyone carefully examined the Nine Absolutes of the Clear Sky and the Great Sumeru Hammer. They were astonished by the ingenuity of the techniques described in the manuals.

Yang Podi added, "These two techniques can serve as our clan's inherited skills in the future. However, they'll need to be adapted to suit our Breaking Soul Spears, as they were originally designed for the Clear Sky Hammer."

He also distributed various treasures he had obtained from the Heaven Dou Imperial Treasury to members of the clan. Unfortunately, none of these treasures were particularly suitable for spirit masters. Nevertheless, with these resources, the clan wouldn't need to worry about cultivation materials for the next several centuries.

Seeing these resources, everyone couldn't help but grumble inwardly: These treasures likely came from the Heaven Dou Empire's treasury. It seemed that Yang Podi had a penchant for such clandestine activities.

After some thought, Yang Podi continued, "I also have a 300,000-year Fire Dragon torso bone. It came from my seventh spirit ring. I'll keep it for now, but if anyone needs it, feel free to come to me."

However, his father shook his head. "Podi, you should keep this spirit bone for yourself. None of us in the clan currently lack spirit bones. Absorbing such a high-quality spirit bone yourself would also be beneficial."

In the following days, Yang Podi continued to enjoy a leisurely life.

Meanwhile, his younger sister came to him with a slightly aggrieved expression. "Brother, why aren't you helping me get my ninth spirit ring? With your help, I'm sure I could obtain the best spirit ring."

Yang Podi looked at Yang Tianyue with a doting smile. "You little girl, I'm doing this for your own good. You're only on the Sea God's eighth trial and already lacking confidence to complete it? Remember, the ninth trial will be much harder, and I won't be able to help you then."

Yang Tianyue puffed her cheeks in protest. "But I feel more assured with you around."

"Tianyue, becoming a god is a lonely and independent path. The help you can get from others will always be minimal. You need to learn to face it on your own. Tang Chen was the most talented genius on the Douluo Continent in nearly a thousand years, but even he failed the God Trials. If you really want to become a god, you must face the challenges ahead with determination and exert hundreds or even thousands of times more effort. Otherwise, you'll end up in a miserable situation."

Hearing this, Yang Tianyue fell into rare contemplation. Eventually, though, she firmly declared, "Brother, don't worry. This time, I will definitely acquire an exceptional spirit ring. I'll prove to you that your little sister is the best!"

After Yang Tianyue left with confidence, Ye Lingling came into the room with some concern. "Podi, are you really not planning to help Tianyue obtain her ninth spirit ring? After all, she's still just a child, not even twenty yet."

"Lingling, becoming a god is not that simple. I can help her now, but I can't help her forever. Besides, since the Sea God chose her, it must be because of her talent and potential."

In the days that followed, a large group of soul masters from the family set out for the Extreme North. The five companions all joined, and even Ye Lingling went along.

The deans of Heavenly Academy also participated, including Yang Wudi, Yang Wushuang, Yang Zhentian, Niu Jinfeng, Dugu Bo, Niu Gao, and Niu Mang. Even Shui Qingrou, who recently joined and specialized in water-type soul abilities, accompanied the group. Her abilities were expected to be more effective in the Extreme North than even those of an ordinary Title Douluo.

Watching the now-empty Heavenly Academy, Yang Podi sighed helplessly. He had only intended to take a break and help Yang Tianyue develop her independence, but now even his wife had gone to assist in the hunt for a soul beast. Was this not shooting himself in the foot?

Still, after some thought, Yang Podi felt reassured. The strongest entities in the Extreme North were Snow Empress and Ice Empress. With the Sea God's Trident in Yang Tianyue's possession and nearly ten Title Douluo accompanying her, safety shouldn't be an issue.

Defeating Snow Empress might be a challenge, but given the Sea God's Light from the trident, Snow Empress likely wouldn't dare to go too far. As for Ice Empress, with the group's collective strength, they could probably eliminate her. Ice Empress was only around 400,000 years old, with a strength comparable to a Title Douluo below rank 98, even with her Ultimate Ice.

Furthermore, Yang Podi had left a trace of his divine sense on Yang Tianyue and her companions. If anything truly dangerous occurred, he could immediately come to their aid.

Meanwhile, Yang Podi stayed alone at the highest peak of Mount Almo, shutting his eyes and even sealing his five senses. Immersed in the snowy environment, he began to attune himself to the heavens and the earth.

Since leaving the Slaughter City, his body and spirit power had undergone a qualitative transformation. The world seemed different to him now. The power of heaven and earth appeared as various laws and principles, forming the foundation of all existence.

As time passed, the killing intent surrounding Yang Podi gradually subsided. His aura became increasingly serene, with his spirit power converging inward until he seemed to merge with the heavens and earth.

Snow fell steadily from the sky, covering Yang Podi without being repelled or melted by his spirit power. Instead, the snow accumulated on him, encasing him.

Over time, Yang Podi was entirely enveloped in snow, resembling a snowman—or perhaps an ice sculpture. If an outsider saw this, they might think the ice sculpture lacked any soul power fluctuations or signs of life. It seemed like a lifeless object, a mere speck in the grand cosmos, insignificant against the vastness of heaven and earth.
