The Glory of the Sun and Moon in the Peerless Tang Sect

A faint, heartfelt smile appeared on Old Mu's face, his eyes filled with satisfaction.

"Alright, good boy. The Soul Guidance Department has already made a plan for you and He Caitou. Rest for today and thoroughly understand these insights. Starting tomorrow, you will go to the Soul Guidance Department to study. You will study there for three days, then follow me to cultivate for three days. On the last day, Wang Yan will provide you with theoretical guidance in the morning, and you can arrange your own time from the afternoon to the evening. It will be a cycle of seven days. Okay, go ahead."

"Yes, Elder Mu."

Just as Xu Zihuang was about to leave, Yan Shaozhe, dressed in a white robe, suddenly descended from the sky. His expression changed slightly, and he uttered a startling statement.

"Teacher, Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire suffered severe injuries in the Star Dou Great Forest and has just been brought to our Shrek Academy. I have already dispatched the academy's healing-type Soul Masters there immediately. Teacher, what do you think?"

“Bring him to the Sea God Pavilion,” Elder Mu replied without hesitation.

Shrek Academy is located within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire. From a moral, logical, and even self-interested perspective, it is imperative to do everything possible to save Princess Vina.

Chapter 227 The Origin of Evil Qi of the Dark Demon God Tiger

Watching Yan Shaozhe's figure disappear into the distance, Xu Zihuang did not rush to leave. Instead, he supported Elder Mu's arm and walked towards the Sea God Pavilion.

His current identity is that of a citizen of the Heavenly Soul Empire. Before the clash between the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent, the Douluo Continent was long characterized by a three-way power struggle. People there had a strong sense of belonging to their country.

Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire was severely injured; it would be inappropriate for him to act too nonchalantly.

From his memories of his past life, he knew that Princess Vina was a dual-spirit possessor. Her current primary spirit was the healing-type spirit Snow Lotus, while her other spirit was the top-tier mental attribute physical spirit Brain.

She will become a crucial link between the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family and the Body Sect in the future. She is both a disciple of the Body Sect and a member of the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family. She is both a princess of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the fiancée of Long Aotian, the young sect leader of the Body Sect.

However, according to Xu Zihuang's guess, Princess Vina probably hasn't even started contacting the Body Sect yet.

Whether Princess Vina lives or dies, it won't affect him much. But if Princess Vina survives, given her status and position, if used properly, she might bring him more benefits in the future than Ning Tian.

After being helped back to his recliner by Xu Zihuang, Old Master Mu looked at Xu Zihuang, who was deep in thought, with a kind gaze.

"Tianhuang, you are also from the Tianhun Empire, aren't you?"

Xu Zihuang nodded.

"Ten thousand years ago, after the ambitions of the Spirit Empire were shattered by Tang San's ancestor, the Heaven Dou Empire split into the Heaven Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire due to the growing power of several kingdoms and duchies. The Heaven Soul Empire provided substantial support to the academy's development back then. Even today, most of the students studying at the academy are from the Heaven Soul Empire. For various reasons, we should do everything in our power to save Princess Vina. However, Shrek Academy's neutral stance will never change. Shrek Academy is simply Shrek Academy of the Douluo Continent." Elder Mu smiled gently.

"Alright, you don't need to stay here with this old codger. Go on. There's no need to rush into cultivation today. Take a good rest and reflect on your insights from that deep meditation session."

"Yes, Elder Mu." Xu Zihuang bowed slightly to Elder Mu before turning and leaving.

Although Elder Mu told him not to be overly polite, he still needed to show the respect he deserved.

Xu Zihuang's expression remained calm, but a strange feeling arose within him. How could he not see that Elder Mu was subtly instilling his own ideas into him?

While they say they won't restrict his freedom, they actually hope he can stay at Shrek Academy in the future, or even inherit the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master.

Compared to Yan Shaozhe's initial attempt at enticement, Elder Mu's methods were undoubtedly more sophisticated. He used sincerity to appeal to emotions.

But it was precisely Mu Lao's behavior that made him feel more at ease. After all, no one is kind to you for no reason.

However, the Yu Tianhuang you know never existed in the first place.

Xu Zihuang opened and closed his eyes, and had already walked out of the spacious hall on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion.

On the entire Poseidon Island, except for the north side, there are rows of two-story wooden pavilions built along the lake on the other three sides. The west side is the living area for the female students of the inner court, and the east side is the living area for the male students of the inner court. Under normal circumstances, each wooden pavilion houses two inner court disciples.

Of course, if there is a vacant attic and the student prefers quiet, they can apply to live there alone.

The area of ​​wooden pavilions on the south side of Poseidon Island is much smaller. At a glance, there are only a dozen or so scattered buildings.

This area is used to entertain guests. Those invited to Seagod Island are all descendants of royalty from the three great empires of Douluo Continent, or top noble families and Soul Master clans like the White Tiger Duke.

Therefore, the size of this reception area has always remained the same, and it has never been expanded.

The clear blue waters of Poseidon Lake rippled gently in the breeze, and the shimmering light radiated into the rooms through the wooden attic balcony.

Princess Vina, pale-faced, lay on the wooden bed. Mu Xue, the aloof girl who had carried Vina out of the Star Dou Great Forest, stood by the bed with a look of concern and anxiety on her face.

Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department of Shrek Academy, was also present, which shows how much Shrek Academy values ​​Princess Vina.

Beside Yan Shaozhe stood an elderly man with white hair and beard. The old man, named Elder Zhuang, was also a senior member of the Sea God Pavilion. He possessed a special plant-type martial soul and was the only healing-type Title Douluo in Shrek Academy.

Mu Xue bowed respectfully to Yan Shaozhe and Elder Zhuang.

"Dean Yan, this senior, thank you for your help."

"No need for formalities, we will do our best." Yan Shaozhe used his soul power to lift Mu Xue up, then nodded to Elder Zhuang.

Zhuang Lao understood and sat down by the bed. As he raised his hand and hovered above Vina's body, rings of soul energy rose from beneath his feet.

Two yellow, two purple, and five black spirit rings pulsated slowly around his body, but they did not possess the terrifying aura of a Title Douluo-level powerhouse.

Lush green vines spread out from his body and landed on Vina. In no time, they completely covered Vina's exquisite body.

The first, second, and third spirit rings on Elder Zhuang's body shone brightly, and a rich life force emanated from them. The originally lush green vines began to constantly change colors of light.

A moment later, the vines retracted, and Old Zhuang frowned.

Yan Shaozhe asked in a deep voice, "How is it? Can it be cured?"

Old Zhuang shook his head.

"My treatment mainly involves injecting life force, and her injuries have already healed under the nourishment of this life force. However, there is still a special foreign energy around her heart meridian, which is cold and sinister. I have never encountered this kind of energy before in my life. I have tried to use my life force to dissolve this energy, but unfortunately, it has no effect. This energy seems to be even higher than life force. I am powerless to do anything about it."

Noticing the intense emotional fluctuations in Mu Xue's beautiful eyes, Elder Zhuang continued to explain, "She is not in immediate danger. However, to bring her back to her senses, this special energy must be completely eliminated."

Hearing Elder Zhuang's last words, Mu Xue's expression softened somewhat. Although she wasn't as panicked as before, she was still anxious. The healing-type Soul Masters served by the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family certainly had enough time to arrive, but the strongest among them was only an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

Even Elder Zhuang, a Title Douluo-level healing-type Soul Master, was helpless, let alone the royal family's retainers.

Thinking of this, a shadow fell over her heart.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. The person who came in was a young man dressed in white, who looked to be about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. The man respectfully bowed to Elder Zhuang and Yan Shaozhe.

"Teacher, Dean Yan."

He was the direct disciple of Elder Zhuang, and his martial soul was one of the pinnacle existences among plant-type martial souls, namely the Tree of Life.

He graduated from Shrek Academy's outer court in the same year as Zhou Yi and Mu Jin, but his talent far surpassed theirs. Not only did he successfully enter the inner court, but he also became Elder Zhuang's direct disciple. At only twenty-nine years old, he was already a Soul Saint-level powerhouse.

The cultivation of healing-type Soul Masters is much more difficult than that of battle-type Soul Masters. Although the twenty-nine-year-old Soul Saint is still somewhat behind the top disciples of Shrek Academy's inner court, he is definitely a candidate for a title.

Old Master Zhuang looked at the young man in white with a serious expression.

"how is the situation?"

While Elder Zhuang was treating Vina, the young man in white was also sent to treat Mo Feiyun's injuries.

The young man in white replied solemnly, "He has multiple fractures throughout his body, but I have brought his injuries under control. However, he may need several more treatments and a long period of rest to fully recover."

Finally, Mu Xue heard some good news. However, what puzzled her at the same time was why Mo Feiyun didn't have the special energy that Elder Zhuang had mentioned.

Recalling what happened that day, her body suddenly trembled as if struck by lightning, and her expression became extremely ugly.

"Dean Yan, senior, the special energy within Vina's body might be the evil energy attached to that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."

Mu Xue comes from the Snow Demon Sect, a top-tier sect on the continent. The sect boasts experts at the Super Douluo level, and as the sect leader's daughter, she has some knowledge of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, a type of soul beast.

Mo Feiyun did indeed shield Vina from the impact of the battle between the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Crimson King, but he was also sent flying. Only Vina was enveloped by the gray-black aura emanating from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body, the so-called evil energy.

Upon hearing this, both Yan Shaozhe and Elder Zhuang's expressions changed slightly. In fact, they both had some guesses in their hearts, but out of caution, they did not make any hasty judgments.

Yan Shaozhe immediately said, "Let's take Princess Vina into the Sea God Pavilion."

His original plan was to first have Elder Zhuang stabilize Vina's condition, and then bring her to the Sea God Pavilion for Elder Mu to examine her personally.

Sea God Pavilion, Quiet Room.

Vina lay quietly on a large, smooth, white bed, enveloped in a golden light. Within this soft golden light, Vina's pale complexion visibly regained its color.

Two people stood quietly by the bed. On the left was Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department, and next to him stood an elderly man, frail and elderly. The old man's back was bent at a ninety-degree angle, and he supported his body with a cane.

It was none other than Elder Mu, the strongest person in Shrek Academy today.

The Sea God Pavilion is not a place that just anyone can enter. The last time Tang Ya was allowed in, it was out of Elder Mu's sense of indebtedness to the Tang Sect. Vina's special status also justifies an exception. But Mu Xue is not an exception.

It wasn't just because of the rules of the Sea God Pavilion, but more so because they didn't want too many people to know about Elder Mu's existence.

Elder Mu's gentle gaze never changed. Sensing the faint aura within Vina's body being stirred by the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Mystic Ice Bed, he murmured a few words in his heart.

"An ice-attribute martial soul, but this child's martial soul aura is not limited to just one. Another twin martial soul, truly a time of great contention."

Yan Shaozhe asked with a solemn expression, "Teacher, even with this ten-thousand-year-old ice bed and your power of light, it can only be suppressed temporarily. Is the evil aura of this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger really so domineering?"

Elder Mu shook his head and explained, "No, that's not just simple evil energy. It's the primordial evil energy of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. This primordial evil energy possesses the ultimate evil attribute of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and it completely suppresses my power of light in terms of attributes."

Yan Shaozhe's expression changed slightly. "Teacher, is there really no way even you can do it?"

Old Mu tilted his head and glanced at Yan Shaozhe, frowning as he said, "You're almost a hundred years old, how come you still can't remain calm in the face of adversity? You excel in many areas, but you lack something in your personality. Otherwise, I wouldn't have had Lin'er restrain your power."

His tone was filled with a helpless frustration at their lack of ambition. He unconsciously compared Yan Shaozhe and Yu Tianhuang. Although their cultivation levels were vastly different, Yu Tianhuang possessed many qualities that Yan Shaozhe lacked.

He had no doubt that Yu Tianhuang would eventually reach his level, or even surpass it. As for Yan Shaozhe, if he didn't make a change, he would likely remain stuck at level ninety-five for life.

Yan Shaozhe felt a chill run down his spine and said respectfully, "Teacher, I was wrong."

Elder Mu said calmly, "It would be good if you truly realized your mistake. You must remain calm in the face of adversity. Although my power of light is restrained by the extreme evil of the Dark Demon God Tiger, there are still people in the academy who are capable of contending with this extreme evil attribute."

"You mean...?" Yan Shaozhe suddenly realized.

Old Master Mu simply waved his hand at Yan Shaozhe, his gaze falling on Vina's gently fluttering eyelashes.

"You go first."

"Yes, teacher."

Meanwhile, Xu Zihuang was having a meal in the dining hall in the center of Poseidon Island.

Shrek Academy's inner court disciples have remained below one hundred for years, and many of them frequently go out to perform inspector missions, so this canteen, which is exclusively for inner court disciples, remains as deserted as ever.

However, the variety of dishes offered was extremely rich, and all of them were provided free of charge.

A plate of charcoal-grilled century-old bear paw, a large portion of century-old black-scaled chicken soup noodles, plus a platter of fresh fruits.

Ice bears live only in the far north, and their paws, tempered by the low temperatures year-round, have an exceptionally delicious texture. The broth made from century-old black-scaled chicken is also incredibly flavorful, and the freshly pulled noodles are wonderfully chewy. Combined with the savory taste of the black-scaled chicken broth, the meal is absolutely delicious.

After finishing the meal, he felt warm all over, an indescribable feeling of comfort and refreshment.

Just then, Old Master Mu's voice rang in his ears without warning. His expression remained unchanged, but a subtle, profound look appeared deep in his eyes.

He was just thinking about how to make contact with Princess Vina of the Heavenly Soul Empire when a perfect opportunity presented itself.
