Douluo Dragon King: I am the Lord of the Abyss, the King of Eternal Night.

Chapter 160 The Tortoise Shell Artifact: The Foundation of an Ancient Family
"Hey! Hey!"

"Lord of the Ancient Tower, are you listening?!"

Hearing the voice coming from the communication device, Qian Gu Dong Feng remained silent.

Unexpectedly, Leng Yaozhu had already arranged all of this. Perhaps after returning from Shrek Academy, Leng Yaozhu realized that she wanted to sow discord between him and Mu Ye, so she arranged all of this.

He had indirectly facilitated all of this, yet he remained completely unaware of it.

"Beep beep!" Qian Gu Dongfeng hung up the communication device, took a deep breath, and leaned back in his seat.

The next moment, the solemnity on Qian Gu Dongfeng's face turned into a smile, "As expected of the woman I have chosen, she is indeed brave and resourceful, just like me."

"Once Shrek Academy and Yunming are destroyed in the future, I believe there will be a place in your heart. At that time, you and the Leng family will both belong to me, the Tower Master."

As he pondered, Qian Gu Dong Feng chuckled softly.

He believed that day was not far off.

"By the way, Leng Yaozhu's disciple is quite good too. Perhaps we should tell Zhang Ting to get to know her as well. After all, they're a perfect match, hahaha..."

Inside the spacious office, Qian Gu Dong Feng envisioned the future, and laughter echoed throughout.

As for Jiang Xiu beside Na'er, he didn't care. In his opinion, the people of the Spirit Pagoda could only belong to the Spirit Pagoda.

……

Inside an elegant and simple room on the upper level of the Spirit Pagoda.

The setting sun cast its last rays, scattering crookedly into the room. Rows of cold, menacing weapons hung on the walls, silent and chilling.

In front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, an elderly man dressed in a gray robe sat in a wheelchair. He did not reveal any aura, but his body was surrounded by an invincible aura of fighting against heaven and earth, as if he had merged into the entire space.

Suddenly, the old man opened his eyes, which were filled with a powerful and invincible aura, but it quickly dissipated, and everything returned to calm.

"Why was I so uneasy just now?" the old man murmured, his tone very cautious.

And he is the greatest asset of the Qian Gu family—Qian Gu Die Ting.

A Quasi-God level powerhouse at the Limit Douluo level, a four-word Battle Armor Master!
"Could it be that the Qian Gu family is in danger?" Qian Gu Die Ting frowned slightly. At his level, if danger were to occur, his mind would have a premonition of it.

Then Qian Gu Die Ting shook his head again, "I guess I'm overthinking it."

The Qian Gu family is now thriving under Qian Gu Dongfeng's leadership, with a bright future ahead. How could there possibly be any danger?

"Buzz!" The space trembled slightly, and a mysterious golden tortoise shell appeared in Qian Gu Die Ting's powerful palm. The tortoise shell was covered with mysterious patterns that rose and fell, as if it were breathing with life.

"Should we predict the future's fortune?" Qian Gu Die Ting stroked the tortoise shell with his hand, his gaze deep and thoughtful.

This tortoise shell is no ordinary tortoise shell; it is a divine artifact passed down through their ancient family. It has no offensive power, but it possesses an extremely powerful ability: to predict future fortunes.

Their family's long history and current prosperity are largely due to this magical artifact.

After a moment's deliberation, Qian Gu Die Ting slowly put away the tortoise shell artifact and sighed softly, "I'd rather use this remaining life of mine to protect the family, or perhaps I'll wait until I'm about to die to venture into the Abyss Plane."

Although this tortoise shell artifact is incredibly powerful, the price to pay for its use is also extremely high.

It requires consuming the user's lifespan to predict the future, and what it consumes is not vitality, but true lifespan, deducting from the user's maximum life value, which is even irreparable if the user does not break through their current cultivation level.

This divine artifact can only be used by powerhouses at the Limit Douluo level.

"Dongfeng, I believe you will lead the family to glory."

Qian Gu Die Ting murmured softly, then slowly closed his eyes again.

Although a bad feeling flashed through my mind just now...

……

Outside the Spirit Pagoda.

"Thank you so much, Tower Master Leng. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to obtain such a top-tier bloodline soul spirit as my second soul spirit." Mu Ye bowed to Leng Yaozhu in gratitude. "No need to be so polite. It's just a matter of exchanging what we have." Leng Yaozhu chuckled and waved her jade hand meaningfully, "Besides, isn't Tower Master Qian Gu very willing?"

"Hahaha, he had no choice but to agree." Mu Ye laughed heartily, and the thought of Qian Gu Dong Feng's expression after learning all this made him want to laugh.

The east wind blows eternally; this is what they mean by "trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead."

Leng Yaozhu's red lips parted, revealing a cold and beautiful smile, her eyes gleaming with a sharp light.

It's practically impossible for an outsider to take away a soul of this level. Even she can only manipulate it, which is why she needs to borrow the help of the Eternal East Wind.

"I'll leave this soul with you for now. I have the facilities here. When Xiao Xiu breaks through to the Soul Sect, you can bring him here, Sect Master Mu," Leng Yaozhu said softly.

“No problem.” Mu Ye waved his hand and said. He naturally trusted Leng Yaozhu. After all, it was Leng Yaozhu’s credit that this soul spirit could be extracted.

"I'll tell Xiaoxiu the news tonight, and I'm sure he'll be very happy to know."

“However, I will soon attempt to construct a second soul core, so I will need your guidance, Tower Master Leng,” Mu Ye said solemnly.

He still has remnants of the medicinal power of the immortal herbs in his body, so he must take this opportunity to break through the limit as soon as possible.

As for the ultimate agreement with Yun Ming, he was not worried. After breaking through to the Limit Douluo realm, coupled with the second awakening of his Gold-level Martial Soul and the Flawless Golden Body, he might not necessarily lose.

"Okay, sure." Leng Yaozhu nodded slightly.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Ye returned to the Body Sect, while Leng Yaozhu returned to the Spirit Pagoda to retrieve the scorpion tiger soul spirit with its bloodline reverted to its ancestral form, lest things get complicated.

……

night.

As night fell and the stars twinkled, wisps of silver light scattered from the sky, like a layer of white snow covering the ground, creating a dreamlike scene.

A luxurious soul-guided car stopped in front of the Body Sect.

"Boss, do you want me to drive you to school tomorrow?" Na'er asked cheerfully from the driver's seat.

Judging from Na'er's satisfied face and slightly protruding belly, she clearly had a great time tonight.

"Alright, go back now. Eat less seafood in the future," Jiang Xiu said softly as he closed the car door.

After returning from Shrek Academy, he was told by his master that he had to go to the Spirit Tower and that he and Na'er could come back after dinner.

"Hehehe, I got it." Na'er chuckled, because that restaurant was just too delicious today.

Watching Jiang Xiu walk towards the main gate of the Body Sect, Na'er waved her jade arm and called out, "Boss, I'll come find you to cultivate together tomorrow night."

"Okay." Jiang Xiu waved slightly and pushed open the crimson door.

Upon receiving the reply, Na'er's beautiful eyes sparkled, and her cherry lips curved slightly upward.

Let's cultivate together.

The key point may not be cultivation, but being together.

Then, watching Jiang Xiu's figure disappear, Na'er hummed a little tune, stepped on the gas, and the soul-guided car sped away like a wild horse, breaking through the moonlight and driving into the night.

"Tomorrow is the day we enter the Golden Tree. How should I greet Elder Jin when I first meet him..." Jiang Xiu muttered to himself as he closed the door.

Moreover, he still doesn't know if Ah Yin has already begun invading the Golden Tree.

Upon entering the Body Sect, as soon as Jiang Xiu stepped into the main hall, two pairs of eyes looked directly at him.

Muye and Aruheng stood on either side of Jiang Xiu as he entered, their smiles playing on their lips.

Oh no, I feel like I'm drenched in sweat.
