—------------------—
Inside a small town, residents bustling back and forth were each going about their own business.
Some of them were chatting with others, others were passing by in a hurry, and some even started a battle right in the street.
What was astonishing was that the roads here were very flat, and on both sides of the roads were rows of erected metal pillars.
Walking on the road were not horse-drawn carriages, but a kind of carriage traveling on tracks laid on the ground.
It could move entirely without livestock.
The surrounding residents were accustomed to these sights, but Gu Rong and the others, who had arrived here dressed in cloaks and hiding in the shadows, found it somewhat hard to accept.
"What on earth are these things?"
Gu Rong murmured.
Everything before his eyes completely exceeded his expectations.
Before landing on this continent, Gu Rong had imagined what the scene here might be like, imagining that this place might be a place where humans did not exist.
He had imagined that the human civilization here was very backward, and he had also imagined that this place was ruled by absolute powerhouses.
But he definitely didn't expect that it would be such a scene here.
"Those things can move without horses. Could it be that those things are spirit tools?"
Bibi Dong gazed at the transportation moving in the middle of the road and could only guess so.
But that wasn't right either. spirit tools required a Spirit Master to input Soul Power to control them. Generally speaking, spirit tools that operated for such a long time consumed a massive amount of Soul Power.
Like the propulsion device on the ship they rode, it required them to drive it with Soul Power for a long time.
If this device was in a similar situation, it meant that there was also a Spirit Master continuously inputting Soul Power on this thing to drive it forward.
But Bibi Dong looked at the function of that vehicle, and it seemed to be to allow the residents living here to travel conveniently.
Although Bibi Dong didn't look down on commoners—after all, she herself came from a commoner background—
even she couldn't imagine that there would be a place in this World where, just to make it convenient for commoners to travel, a Spirit Master needed to stay inside this vehicle for a long time to input Soul Power for it.
To make a Spirit Master willing to do this kind of thing?
How could such a Spirit Master exist in this World!
The only relatively calm person in the crowd might be Yu Xiaogang.
After listening for a moment to the completely incomprehensible language of the people around him, Yu Xiaogang immediately decided that the first thing they needed to do upon arriving here was to learn the language here and understand the local cultural history.
Calling out to everyone to leave the street, they came to a relatively desolate area near the small town.
There were a few scattered households here, and judging by the situation, they made a living by farming.
Bringing everyone outside a household with a small courtyard, Yu Xiaogang knocked on the main gate.
Soon, the gate opened, and a middle-aged man stood behind the door. Looking at the group of cloaked people outside the door, he instantly became nervous.
But before the middle-aged man could make any reaction, an inexplicable force struck. The middle-aged man's eyes became dazed, resembling a controlled Puppet, and he allowed everyone to walk into his home.
Entering the small courtyard, Yu Xiaogang probed his spiritual power deep into the courtyard, using spiritual control on everyone in the other party's family before removing the cloak on his body.
"Sorry, we are unfamiliar with this place and can only use this method to understand the situation here. I will provide compensation afterward."
Yu Xiaogang apologized to the middle-aged man.
Right now, they knew nothing about this continent, and acting rashly would likely bring unnecessary trouble.
Fortunately, Yu Xiaogang possessed spiritual power. Relying on this power, they could quickly learn the knowledge of this continent and understand its situation.
After the learning was completed, they would leave compensation for this family. In this way, they would learn the knowledge they needed, the other party would obtain money, and both sides would gain something.
Yu Xiaogang glanced at everyone, and seeing that everyone was ready, he used spiritual illusions to create various images for the middle-aged man to recognize, thereby allowing everyone to acquire the language of this continent.
As Spirit Masters, everyone present was obviously the kind of people with very good learning abilities, so within a few days, everyone was able to easily understand the basic language of this continent.
Afterwards, through some understanding, everyone learned that this new continent was called the Sun Moon Continent by the people living here.
The reason for this name was because the Sun Moon Continent had an absolute ruler—the Sun Moon Empire!
The cultivation system of the Sun Moon Continent was also the Spirit system. According to rumors, the Empire possessed several level nine powerhouses.
The level nine powerhouses here corresponded to the Titled Douluo of the Douluo Continent, and the level eight powerhouses corresponded to the Spirit Douluo of the Douluo Continent.
What surprised everyone was that outside of the Spirit Master system, there was also a system parallel to Spirit Masters in the Sun Moon Continent.
"spirit tool master?"
Bibi Dong looked at Yu Xiaogang. He was the only person in this group who had researched spirit tools.
Yu Xiaogang was also somewhat excited. spirit tools over on the Douluo Continent might have been destroyed along with the pre-civilization, but they had been preserved on the Sun Moon Continent side.
And judging by the situation, the spirit tool masters here on the Sun Moon Continent were not inferior to Spirit Masters at all.
Therefore, how on earth did this spirit tool master system develop?
Yu Xiaogang wanted to thoroughly investigate the bottom of the spirit tool master system, but unfortunately, the middle-aged man they controlled was only a commoner, and the information he could access was only the most basic information circulating on the continent.
Information that was even slightly useful was impossible for him to know.
Seeing that no more information could be probed, Yu Xiaogang was disappointed, but he also understood.
"So, after spirit tools develop, they can actually form a system parallel to Spirits?"
"How could those spirit tools compare with our hard-forged strength?"
Gu Rong furrowed his brow tightly.
Being able to run parallel to Spirits showed that spirit tool masters were not simple.
But Gu Rong couldn't figure out what spirit tool masters had to do to possess strength equal to Spirit Masters.
By relying on those spirit tools that were considered external objects?
But for guys who used external objects, once they lost these external objects, what use could they still have?
Although Yue Guan and Gui Mei didn't speak, they also agreed with Gu Rong's thoughts.
In their view, relying on external objects was ultimately not the Righteous Path.
Only one's own strength was fundamental.
"Uncle Gu, don't be anxious. Since the spirit tool master system of this Sun Moon Continent can develop, it proves that spirit tools certainly have their merits."
"We can slowly investigate later. Who knows, we might even learn some useful things from here."
Yu Xiaogang said with a smile.
Among the people present, everyone else would have a complete blank slate regarding the scene of spirit tools developing, so they didn't believe it.
But he himself could imagine what it would look like.
Not to mention anything else, just looking at his own Spirit Power Clone, if the Materials used to manufacture the Spirit Power Clone were replaced with metal, wouldn't that just be a spirit tool?
If one manufactured one hundred or one thousand such spirit tools, Yu Xiaogang wouldn't find it hard to imagine what a magnificent scene that would be.
Therefore, spirit tool masters and Spirit Masters being parallel?
Reasonable!
