Looking at the silvery-white base before him, Huo Yuhao activated his Divine Might Illusion and Limitless Technique, slowly approaching.
Reaching the silvery-white wall, he reached out and began to carefully examine the material.
"Heh, truly wealthy and powerful. This base is actually made of crystal steel."
"This stuff is only found in the Sun Moon Empire."
Huo Yuhao knew about crystal steel because Mingde Hall frequently sent rare metals to Passion, including a large quantity of crystal steel.
Currently, Jing Hongchen highly values the development of the fast-food industry and is eager to learn and promote Passion's chain store marketing methods.
He is determined to use fast food, marketing strategies, and the advantages of chain stores to completely crush the Sun Moon Empire's traditional food industry.
As for the protests from traditional hotels and chefs, Jing Hongchen doesn't care. The Sun Moon Empire doesn't have an anti-monopoly law; let him talk to his level nine soul tool about it.
Even his good grandson, Xiao Hongchen, was dragged along to help Passion shoot some commercials, although according to Passion's cadres, the other party's expression was like a dead horse.
The effect was undeniably impressive. Even the Sun Moon Empire's top genius was eating hamburgers and cola, and other Soul Masters quickly followed suit.
Fast food gradually spread from low-level Soul Masters to high-level ones.
This terrifying food monopoly caused Mingde Hall's funds to skyrocket daily, and its passion amassed countless riches.
Jing Hongchen recently wrote to Huo Yuhao, wanting to send Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen to Xilu City to learn some business acumen. He
asked Huo Yuhao if he had any connections to get them to the Heavenly Soul Empire. Huo Yuhao readily agreed, saying he had plenty of connections.
As long as they didn't commit murder or arson in Shrek City, Huo Yuhao was confident he could protect their lives.
Through this cooperation, he was familiar with this rare metal, knowing that its deposits could only be found in the Sun Moon Empire.
In fact, the Douluo Three Kingdoms should also have considerable rare metal deposits, just not as open-pit as those in the Sun Moon Empire.
At least beneath the Heavenly Calamity Mountain Range, there must be a large amount of rare metal deposits, but development was extremely difficult.
Huo Yuhao knocked on the silver-white wall, then walked straight into the base's gate.

Perhaps he had triggered some kind of restriction, for the entire base erupted in a roar the moment he stepped in.
The metal tower at the top of the base instantly transformed into a defensive tower, beginning to gather high-energy compressed soul-guided rays. Countless soul-guided cannons suddenly appeared around him, locking onto every possible direction Huo Yuhao might dodge.
Huo Yuhao used his mental detection to observe the core arrays of the surrounding soul-guided devices, muttering to himself,
"One level eight soul-guided ray cannon, several level six and seven soul-guided cannons."
"The real danger lies in the five level eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells beneath the ground, which are now in the activation phase."
"Besides a level nine soul master, who could produce so many high-level soul-guided devices?"
"I'm getting more and more curious about what's hidden inside."
"And where is that soul master?"
"My mental power doesn't detect any life force in the base."
As Huo Yuhao muttered to himself, a red high-energy soul-guided ray, carrying intense heat and distorting the surrounding air, shot straight towards Huo Yuhao's head.
Like dominoes, a large number of soul-guided cannons began to attack.
If a Soul Douluo were here, they'd probably be terrified, screaming, "My life is over!"
But Huo Yuhao remained motionless, letting these terrifying attacks rain down on him. If anyone were observing, they would see that the attacks couldn't even touch Huo Yuhao. They
were all intercepted within ten centimeters of his body. The soul power of his soul tools was still being consumed, and the soul guide rays were still extending, but they could never break through the defense of the Limitless Technique.
Even if they did break through, they would be evaded by Divine Might, and the priority of Divine Might Space was even higher than the Limitless Technique.
The opponent's essence was an entire demiplane! Even in the Douluo Continent, that was an extremely high rank.
At least Tang San couldn't create a demiplane out of thin air; he didn't have that ability.
In terms of ability development, Electrolux was hundreds of times better than Tang San.
The opponent hadn't even figured out the soul, and even his own daughter had been divided into three parts.
Huo Yuhao's mental detection had locked onto all the soul tools, and then the pattern in his eyes began to rotate.
"Amaterasu!"
"Spiritual Infusion!"
The black dragon that had once fought the golden-haired lion-mastiff once again circled around Huo Yuhao's body, accompanied by a light wave of Huo Yuhao's arm.
The black Eastern dragon used extreme heat to melt all the soul tools that Huo Yuhao had locked onto; the temperature was so high that even the snow in the surrounding cedar forest began to melt.
The entire process took only ten seconds, and the soul tool defenses of the entire base were completely dismantled.
Even the five fixed soul tool shells buried underground were moved to a distance by the spiritually activated earth.
The base was like a subordinate's wife who had lost all resistance, lying before Huo Yuhao for him to investigate.
Huo Yuhao used his spiritual power to command the Amaterasu dragon to guard the entrance, preventing anyone from entering.
Then, maintaining his divine might and boundless shamelessness, he walked into the base.
A long corridor came into Huo Yuhao's view. He sensed no danger from his spiritual power, indicating that the other party hadn't placed any soul tools inside.
Passing through the corridor, he arrived at a research room, the kind that would make low-level soul masters drool.
There were many research soul tools around, as well as some prototypes, likely experimental subjects.
What attracted Huo Yuhao most was a research manuscript on a workbench at the front.
He slowly walked to the workbench, picked up the manuscript, and began to study it.
As expected, it was a blueprint for a soul tool.
The blueprint depicted a white tray inlaid with over a hundred gems of various colors, with a wooden stand on top.
It was clearly the Conferred God Platform from the original story.
Huo Yuhao continued to the next page of the manuscript and found it was a study of the core magic array.
However, the most crucial part of the Conferred God Platform's core magic array had been torn off,
causing the manuscript's value to plummet.
Huo Yuhao scanned the entire laboratory with his mental power and discovered numerous scraps of rare metals. Judging from the details, the other party had left in a hurry after completing the Consecration Platform.
They didn't even have time to clean up this huge laboratory, leaving behind many precious research soul tools.
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm spoke up in the sea of consciousness to ask Huo Yuhao,
"Yuhao, although I don't have in-depth knowledge of soul tools, through extensive analysis, I've discovered that the effect of this core array is binding."
"And the effect is very strange... well, if you ask me, it's highly targeted."
"Turtle, you're the Beast King, come and take a look at this report."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm tossed the analysis report directly to the Golden Tortoise Shell. The Golden Tortoise Shell stopped doing its math problems, and its snake head carried the report to its master.
After this period of diligent training, the Golden Tortoise Shell was also able to understand these reports and formulas.
Its golden eyes fell into thought, then it exclaimed in surprise,
"Good heavens, this thing targets soul beasts in the process of transforming!"
"Only soul beasts in the process of transforming can meet the binding conditions!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm said in astonishment,
"What the hell?"
"Someone wants to capture a transformed soul beast in the far north?!"
"Is his entire clan being sold wholesale?" "
If the Snow Empress doesn't kill him, I'll change my surname to a tortoise!"
Huo Yuhao put the manuscript back into his storage soul tool and said to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm,
"Do you know which soul beasts in the far north are nearing their lifespan? And they definitely won't survive the next tribulation."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm fell into thought, then its pupils shrank.
"Ice Empress?!"
"No, that's not right, Snow Empress herself could be one too!"
"Based on years of experience interacting with the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Snow Empress's talent couldn't possibly withstand a 700,000-year Heavenly Tribulation."
"This Soul Master's target is the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North!"
Huo Yuhao shook his head slightly, looking at the map hanging in the laboratory, and said,
"They probably don't even know the identity of that unfortunate transformed Soul Beast."
"However, what's certain is that they should have succeeded, but they haven't left the Far North yet."
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm asked Huo Yuhao in confusion,
"Why?"
Huo Yuhao pointed to the map and said,
"He marked it himself with a red line."
"After leaving the Far North core area, they went to Dragon City to rest, and then returned here to retrieve the Soul Guidance Device."
"According to the timeline, they should be in either Dragon City or the Far North right now."
"Most likely in Dragon City." "
Capturing a 100,000-year Soul Beast and then quickly leaving the Far North core area must have taken a lot of energy from them; they couldn't possibly stay in the Far North for long."
"Brother Tianmeng, set up a new mental barrier here. If they return here, we'll immediately use our divine power to rush back."
"Now let's go check out Dragon City."
"A level nine Soul Master with strong mental power is easy to spot."
I got treated to a feast by the big boss yesterday; the food in Guangxi is really good! Now I'm home, I hope I won't be banished again.
