Chapter 403 Heading to the Haotian Sect

After Miguel left, Xuanzi swaggered off with Dugu Bo from Tiandou City, heading rapidly towards the Haotian Sect. Shortly after Dugu Bo left Tiandou City, Emperor Xueye summoned Xue Qinghe and inquired about Dugu Bo's intentions in leaving Tiandou City with Xuanzi.

Xue Qinghe was completely baffled by this, since Dugu Bo had never told him anything. As for Dugu Yan, Xue Qinghe didn't have much hope either. Dugu Bo rarely consulted Dugu Yan before doing anything, which was why Dugu Yan probably knew less than Xue Qinghe did.

After discussing for a while without reaching any conclusion, Xue Qinghe told Emperor Xue Ye to go back and wait, and then report back to Dugu Bo after consulting with him.

After leaving Tiandou City, Xuanzi and Dugu Bo headed towards the Haotian Sect. Although the Haotian Sect's secluded location was very secretive to others, it wasn't so difficult for the Ice Palace to find. After all, Tang Yuehua was the Haotian Sect's only economic pillar. The resources and supplies needed for the Haotian Sect's seclusion all needed to be collected by Tang Yuehua and sent back by the Haotian Sect's people. Therefore, as long as they kept an eye on Tang Yuehua, it wouldn't be difficult to find out about the Haotian Sect.

Miguel had long wanted to take action against the Clear Sky Sect, but he lacked a suitable reason. A hasty attack could disrupt the balance of power on the continent, potentially plunging Douluo Continent into war prematurely. Although Miguel hadn't found a proper pretext to deal with the Clear Sky Sect, he had already located their secluded retreat—better safe than sorry.

Because the current base of the Haotian Sect is only 300 kilometers away from Tiandou City, 300 kilometers is really nothing for a Title Douluo. Dugu Bo and Xuanzi arrived at the Haotian Sect's base in no time.

Looking at the dilapidated village before him, Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh. The Haotian Sect, once the number one sect, had fallen into ruin. However, Dugu Bo knew that even in its decline, the Haotian Sect was still a top-tier power on the continent, and he figured it was best to be cautious.

"Let's get started!"

As soon as Xuanzi gave the order, Dugu Bo began to act. In the past, it would have been very difficult for Dugu Bo to set up a poison array to completely surround the Haotian Sect, since just controlling the spread of the poison was quite difficult.

However, since Dugu Bo began practicing the techniques given to him by Migu, he not only condensed a poison pill, which allowed him to completely control the poison in his body and prevent the venom of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent from corroding him, but Dugu Bo's strength also increased considerably.

Especially after Dugu Bo had mastered most of the inheritance given to him by Migu, he took the Blood Swan Kiss. ​​It has to be said that taking the Blood Swan Kiss was indeed painful; even Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo, almost suffered a mental breakdown. However, the benefits after taking it were also considerable, as the amount of poison in Dugu Bo's body increased dramatically.

The cultivation method Migu gave him included a technique for refining poison to enhance one's cultivation. Eventually, after Dugu Bo refined the surging poison within his body into a power he could control, his strength increased to level 97. As for the poison within his body, it was likely due to a qualitative change resulting from quantitative change, greatly increasing its toxicity. Now, the poison that Dugu Bo casually spits out is something that titled Douluo below level 95 cannot withstand. Although level 96 can withstand it, it can only do so for a period of time. As for level 97 and above, the threat is relatively less significant.

After consuming the Blood Swan Kiss, Dugu Bo's strength surged. However, this strength was somewhat superficial, and he lacked any real understanding of the cultivation realm. In order to prevent his potential from being affected, Dugu Bo decided to lay a solid foundation. In recent years, he has been working on comprehending his martial soul. At the same time, he also used the power of the Heaven Dou Empire to collect various poisons that exist on the continent, laying the groundwork for his future cultivation.
