From Battle Through the Heavens Simulation to The Great Ruler

Two bombshell announcements exploded like depth charges across the Douluo Continent.

The first bombshell news: Haotian Douluo, who killed the former Pope of the Spirit Hall, suddenly appeared in Notting City and publicly murdered Yu Xiaogang, who was known as the "Number One Theoretical Master of the Continent".

Upon learning of this, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall was furious and immediately ordered a nationwide manhunt for Haotian Douluo.

Anyone who can provide useful information to help the Spirit Hall elders kill Haotian Douluo will receive a spirit bone over 50,000 years old as a reward.

It's important to know that many powerful figures at the Title Douluo level may not even possess a soul bone that is over 50,000 years old, so when this news spread, it immediately caused a sensation throughout the entire continent.

The second major piece of news: Sword Douluo, under the pretext of avenging his sect's disciples, forcefully killed Poison Douluo on the outskirts of Heaven Dou City.

Because Poison Douluo is both righteous and evil, and always acts only according to his own whims, he has poisoned quite a few people. So even he himself doesn't know if he has unintentionally poisoned anyone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

When the news of Poison Douluo's death by Sword Douluo spread, those who had a grudge against Poison Douluo naturally clapped and cheered.

The few people who had a good relationship with Poison Douluo were unwilling to make an enemy of a behemoth like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for the sake of a dead man.

As for those well-informed bigwigs, they felt that this matter was more like a political game.

In the current Heaven Dou Empire, only Crown Prince Xue Qinghe and Fourth Prince Xue Beng have the best chance of inheriting the throne.

Xue Qinghe is Ning Fengzhi's disciple, which means he has the support of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, while Xue Beng only has Prince Xue Xing behind him.

Although Prince Xuexing is not very strong, he once saved Dugu Bo's life, so Dugu Bo can be asked for help when necessary.

Therefore, while Sword Douluo's killing of Poison Douluo was ostensibly to avenge his disciples, it was highly likely that he was actually clearing obstacles for Xue Qinghe.

It's no wonder that those important figures think that way; even Xue Qinghe himself feels the same way.

To avoid arousing suspicion, before Sword Douluo killed Poison Douluo, Ning Fengzhi went to see Xue Qinghe and told him in front of many servants and maids that he would give him a big gift in a few days.

At first, Xue Qinghe was a little confused, but when he received news of Poison Douluo's death, he immediately understood what Ning Fengzhi meant by the "great gift".

In this way, those powerful figures with connections and influence, upon learning of this news through various channels, would assume it was a political struggle and would not suspect that Sword Douluo intended to kill and seize treasure.

Just as the two bombshell announcements were gaining momentum, Xiao Feng led Sword Douluo and the others to the depths of Sunset Forest.

Soon everyone arrived at the valley where the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire was located, and they all looked dumbfounded.

In the center of that valley, there was a strange pool of water.

The pool is oval-shaped, and the spring water inside is divided into red and white, clearly separated and not encroaching on each other.

“It’s so beautiful here!”

Looking down at the valley below, shrouded in mist and filled with all sorts of exotic flowers and plants, Ning Rongrong's pretty face was full of excitement.

"Truly a masterpiece of craftsmanship."

"It is indeed a rare treasure land."

"Kid, it's up to you now."

As soon as Sword Douluo finished speaking, he controlled the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, which had grown dozens of times larger, and carried Xiao Feng and the others to the side of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Xiao Feng's gaze swept quickly across the spiritual plants, finally settling on a strangely shaped immortal herb.

The leaves of that magical herb were like a dense, finely combed vine canopy, and at its tip was a golden tulip, emitting a rich fragrance.

"found it!"

Xiao Feng strode to the immortal herb and pointed at it, saying, "This thing is called Qiluo Tulip. After consuming it, one can absorb the essence of heaven and earth and the radiance of the sun and moon."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is already a treasure-type martial soul; with the help of this Qiluo Tulip, it will definitely evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong's gazes towards the Qiluo Tulips became intense.

"Rongrong, you should take this Qiluo Tulip! Your cultivation talent is better than your father's. If you can evolve your martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, you will have a great chance to break through to the Title Douluo level in the future."

Ning Fengzhi, being the head of a sect, quickly made the most advantageous choice.

Faced with Ning Fengzhi's expectant gaze, Ning Rongrong was deeply moved and vowed, "Dad, Rongrong will definitely work hard to cultivate in the future."

"Rongrong, this flower cannot be swallowed. You must gently inhale the essence of the flower and slowly absorb it into your body. Then cultivate your soul power and let the medicinal effects spread throughout your body."

"Ok!"

Ning Rongrong nodded obediently and, following Xiao Feng's instructions, put her little mouth directly to the Qiluo tulip and began to suck on it.

As the medicinal power of the Qiluo Tulip slowly seeped into Ning Rongrong's body, she also summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, sat cross-legged, and devoted herself to refining the medicinal power.

Chapter 71 Two Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas

Under the excited and tense gazes of Ning Fengzhi and the others, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, which was suspended above Ning Rongrong's head, burst forth with a dazzling seven-colored light and began to slowly rise higher.

It wasn't until sunset that Ning Rongrong completely refined the medicinal power of the Qiluo Tulip, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul successfully evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"Boo!!!"

Feeling her soul power reaching its bottleneck and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul radiating nine-colored light, Ning Rongrong excitedly jumped up and flew into Xiao Feng's arms, giving him a big kiss on the cheek: "Brother Feng, I really love you to death!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong's excited expression, Ning Fengzhi and the others did not try to stop her, but instead showed relieved smiles.

The fact that Xiao Feng helped Ning Rongrong evolve her martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was enough for Ning Fengzhi to accept him as his son-in-law.

"Alright, alright, Rongrong, don't get excited. I still need to help Uncle Ning and the others choose suitable medicinal herbs~"

After calming down the agitated Ning Rongrong, Xiao Feng selected a magical herb for each of Ning Fengzhi and the other two.

The immortal herb that Ning Fengzhi consumed was the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. Because the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid and the Qiluo Tulip are a pair of mandarin duck immortal herbs, they complement each other. Therefore, besides the Qiluo Tulip, it is the immortal herb most likely to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The immortal herb consumed by Bone Douluo was the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, which grows underground.

Earth Dragon Golden Pumpkin is the top-tier earth-attribute plant, capable of significantly enhancing the user's defensive capabilities.

Bone Douluo's martial soul is the Bone Dragon, which is not only a dragon-attribute martial soul but also a defensive martial soul, making it a perfect match for the Earth Dragon Golden Melon.

The immortal herb consumed by Sword Douluo is the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, which can make one's martial soul more resilient.

Even a Soul Master who has awakened the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul can transform the Blue Silver Grass into the Blue Silver Spear after consuming the Black Jade Divine Bamboo, not to mention that Sword Douluo's Martial Soul is the Seven Kill Sword.

Because both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were Title Douluos, they were able to completely refine the power of the immortal herbs they had consumed in less than half an hour.

After consuming the Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, Sword Douluo's soul power directly broke through from level 96 to level 97, and his martial soul also evolved.

Originally, Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul was an ancient giant sword about two meters long and half a foot wide.

Now it has evolved into a black sword that is four feet three inches long, three inches wide, and has a handle one foot two inches long. It is as black as ink and exudes a chilling aura.

After Bone Douluo refined the medicinal power of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, his soul power broke through from level 95 to level 96.

The bone dragon martial soul, which was originally grayish-blue, has evolved into a dark gold bone dragon with a dark gold body, and its defense has increased several times.

For a Title Douluo whose soul power reaches level 95 or above, each increase in soul power is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

As a result of Xiao Feng's help, Sword Douluo and the others not only increased their soul power by one level, but their martial souls also evolved. Their gratitude towards Xiao Feng was beyond words.

If Sword Douluo and the others previously thought Xiao Feng was a wild boar with dyed yellow fur, they now see him as an endearing golden monkey.

It's just like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law—the more she looks, the more she likes him!

Another half hour passed, and Ning Fengzhi had completely refined the medicinal power of the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. His soul power directly broke through to level eighty, and his martial soul successfully evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

After staring at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul in front of him for a while, Ning Fengzhi finally calmed down his excited mood. He stood up, patted Xiao Feng's shoulder, and said, "Good boy, if Rongrong dares to bully you in the future, just come to your uncle. Your uncle will stand up for you. I've decided that you're my son-in-law."

(ω)

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong's pretty face flushed slightly, and she glared at him with annoyance.

"Thank you uncle."

Seeing this, Xiao Feng smiled and nodded.

Sword Douluo suddenly spoke up: "Feng Zhi, Rong Rong, your soul power should have reached its bottleneck by now, right?"

"Ok!"

"Since that's the case, then let's do it today. Old Bone and I are itching for a fight, so let's find you a suitable spirit ring while we're at it."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi replied without hesitation, "That would be excellent. Then I'll trouble Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu."

"Brother Feng, let's go!"

Just as Ning Rongrong was about to pull Xiao Feng away, he suddenly declined, saying, "Rongrong, I won't go. I'm going to study the remaining immortal herbs here more carefully and see if there are any suitable for me to take."

"Alright, Rongrong, don't disturb Feng'er while he's doing his business."

Ning Fengzhi turned to Bone Douluo halfway through his sentence and said, "Uncle Bone, why don't you stay too? In case any powerful soul beasts accidentally wander in and hurt Feng'er and these spiritual plants, that wouldn't be good."

"No need, Uncle Ning, let Grandpa Bone go with you to hunt soul beasts!"

Xiao Feng waved his hand and said, "The poisonous miasma that Poison Douluo laid out around here has not yet dissipated, and no soul beast will dare to approach this place in the short term."

"Alright, since Feng has said so, let's stop arguing. Anyway, with me and Lao Gu here, it won't be long before we hunt down the soul beasts."

After Sword Douluo finished speaking, he led Ning Fengzhi and the others away, leaving Xiao Feng alone in the Yin-Yang Well.

After Ning Fengzhi and the others left, Xiao Feng turned his attention to the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom.

Although both of these immortal herbs are highly poisonous, if they are taken at the same time and then refined with the power of the Yin-Yang Spring, they can gain powerful fire and ice resistance.

If Xiao Feng is lucky enough to draw the special physique granted by these two immortal herbs after this simulation ends, then he can go and find the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame hidden in the magma sea.

Having made up his mind, Xiao Feng immediately took out a specially made herb-gathering tool from his storage ring, picked the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot at the same time, and then, before their medicinal effects could be neutralized, quickly stuffed them into his mouth and forcibly swallowed them.

"Pfft!"

Before the two completely opposite medicinal forces could fully erupt, Xiao Feng decisively jumped into the red and white spring water.

pain! pain! pain!

As the two attributes clashed, the power of extreme cold and extreme heat erupted within his body simultaneously. Xiao Feng felt as if his entire body was about to burst, and his whole body felt as if it were being gnawed at by thousands of ants, causing him pain everywhere.

Fortunately, he was suppressed by the Yin-Yang Spring of Ice and Fire, and Xiao Feng's physical strength was comparable to that of a third-tier magical beast, otherwise he would have definitely fainted from the pain.

Chapter 72 Tang San's Misfortune

Xiao Feng endured the waves of excruciating pain emanating from his body, his eyes bloodshot, and fully activated the Nine Transformations of the Xun Dragon to refine the two violent medicinal powers.

As the two medicinal energies were slowly refined, Xiao Feng's cultivation level began to rise rapidly, and the unbalanced temperature within his body gradually returned to equilibrium.
