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

Old Mu's aged and withered right hand gently landed on Bei Bei's head, and the entire Sea God Pavilion suddenly flickered. Intense golden light entered Bei Bei's body.

Beibei let out a muffled groan and collapsed to the ground. Golden lightning crackled all over his body as his bloodline and martial spirit underwent a transformation.

Just as Elder Mu said, after this, the bloodline of the Holy Light Dragon within Bei Bei will be completely stabilized. There will be no restrictions on his future awakening of the Holy Light Dragon bloodline.

Unlike Elder Mu's pure Light Holy Dragon Martial Soul, his Blue Lightning Light Tyrannosaurus Rex possesses both the grandeur of the Light attribute and the domineering sharpness of the Light attribute. It's somewhat similar to Xu Zihuang's second Martial Soul, the Purple Emperor Thunder Prison Dragon, formed by fusing the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, but the two are not on the same level in terms of quality.

Xu Zihuang's second martial soul, the Purple Thunder Prison Dragon, with its ultimate lightning attribute completely overwhelmed Beibei's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's lightning attribute, while its destruction attribute could also suppress its light attribute.

Bei Bei's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul is essentially a lower-tier version of Xu Zihuang's Purple Lightning Hell Dragon martial soul. Although both are top-tier martial souls, there is still an insurmountable gap between them.

Beibei was led into unconsciousness by the last bit of strength from Elder Mu, and Elder Mu's face also lost all color at that moment, turning deathly pale. He tremblingly tried to raise his hand to Tang Ya, but seemed to have no strength left.

"Child, come here."

"Elder Mu, I'm here!"

Tang Ya's knees slumped to the ground, and she allowed Elder Mu's right hand to rest on her head, tears streaming down her face. Bei Bei was Elder Mu's direct descendant, and given their relationship, this grand gesture was only right.

Guilt, sadness, and reluctance mingled together, echoing in her heart. She felt a heavy tightness in her chest, as if she couldn't breathe properly.

Elder Mu sighed softly, “Ten thousand years ago, the Tang Sect, founded by our ancestor Tang San, flourished and made outstanding contributions in the battles that helped the Heaven Dou Empire resist the army of the Spirit Empire. It can be said that without the Tang Sect, there would be no ten thousand years of glory for Shrek Academy. Later, with the clashes with the Sun Moon Continent, the rapid development of soul tools, and the decline of the Tang Sect's talent pool, the Tang Sect gradually declined. Shrek Academy, adhering to the principle of neutrality, could not do anything. But seeing the decline of the Tang Sect, I felt deeply pained. Therefore, I had Bei Bei approach you and persuade him to join the Tang Sect. Child, I hope that after I am gone, you and Bei Bei can work together to revive the Tang Sect. The academy will provide you with support in all aspects.”

"Elder Mu, it was my fault. I even complained about the academy back then." Elder Mu's words made Tang Ya feel even more ashamed, and she nodded repeatedly.

"I promise you! I promise you everything!"

Old Master Mu gently stroked Tang Ya's head to comfort her, then reluctantly raised his head to look at Zhang Lexuan.

"Le Xuan, you've been constrained too much these past few years. I understand your desire to give back to the academy, but I hope that from now on you can live for yourself. Do you understand what I mean?"

When Elder Mu looked at her, Zhang Lexuan had already reached his side and took his other hand. Her beautiful eyes glistened with tears, she bit her red lips and shook her head.

"Elder Mu, it is my own will that I have contributed to the academy."

Just then, a strange sensation arose in all the inner court disciples, including Zhang Lexuan. Only the elders, who possessed the cultivation level of a Title Douluo, were able to isolate themselves from this influence thanks to their powerful soul force.

A faint purple-gold light quietly bloomed on the bodies of all the inner disciples, and they felt their soul power circulating without them having to consciously circulate it.

The fluctuations in soul power were subtle, but they were real.

Everyone was startled and instinctively took control of their soul power. They also discovered the source of all this.

A young man with long, flowing black hair appeared beside Zhang Lexuan at some point. He was tall and upright, a good half a head taller than Zhang Lexuan, who was about 1.75 meters tall.

His long black hair, mixed with a few strands of bright purple, floated gently, giving him an ethereal and otherworldly air.

The young man's handsome and perfect face was adorned with a pair of clear, deep purple eyes that seemed to contain an endless starry sky, unfathomably deep.

It was Xu Zihuang who had successfully fused with the soul core.

Zhang Lexuan stared in astonishment at the young man before her, their gazes meeting. The other inner court disciples reacted similarly, clearly caught off guard by Xu Zihuang's appearance.

Xu Zihuang nodded slightly to Zhang Lexuan, then grasped Mu Lao's right hand that was resting on Tang Ya's head. The two of them stood quietly beside Mu Lao, one on his left and one on his right.

Old Mu smiled, his gaze towards Xu Zihuang and Zhang Lexuan filled with only relief and tenderness. But then his breathing suddenly rose and fell violently a few times, his breath so faint it was almost imperceptible.

Understanding the implications, Zhang Lexuan's emotions surged, and she grasped Xu Zihuang's other hand.

Three people, six hands, connected together.

“I have witnessed Tianhuang’s talent and ability. Elder Mu, please rest assured that I will continue to support and assist Tianhuang, and together we will protect Shrek Academy.”

However, as soon as Zhang Lexuan finished speaking with firmness and deep affection, a rich golden light suddenly burst forth from Elder Mu's body.

Xu Zihuang and Zhang Lexuan were both pushed back a few steps by the gentle force brought by the golden light.

Two yellow, one purple, three black, and three red—nine complete spirit rings appeared one after another around Elder Mu. A resounding dragon roar echoed across the sky, and a massive, brilliant golden pillar of light shot into the heavens. Elder Mu's body slowly rose within this golden pillar of light.

A golden pillar of light enveloped the entire Seagod Island, and even the entire Shrek Academy and Shrek City. This world was transformed into a radiant and wondrous gold.

Old Mu's hunched body straightened in the golden light, his aged face began to look younger, and his thin body became strong.

He gazed at the people before him, his eyes filled with reluctance, but even more so with hope. His gaze finally settled on Xu Zihuang, and a kind, warm voice rang in Xu Zihuang's ears.

"Tianhuang, protect the academy for me."

After saying this, the golden light emanating from his body grew stronger and stronger. With another resounding dragon roar, Elder Mu transformed into a gigantic white dragon over a thousand meters long, coiling above Seagod Island.

The intense, golden light made him feel as if he were swimming in a golden ocean. Then, the white dragon shattered, transforming into countless golden specks that converged towards the Sea God's Pavilion.

Above the Sea God Pavilion, a magnificent golden tree stretched out for a hundred meters in a graceful movement, merging most of the light points formed by the white dragon into it. The aura of light vanished in an instant, and the tree's light gradually receded.

All the strange phenomena disappeared, and peace returned. But the powerful figure, the Limit Douluo, the Dragon God Douluo Mu En, vanished from this world.

The golden specks left behind by the white dragon drifted down like dandelions, landing on every inner court disciple in the open space in front of the Sea God Pavilion.

Without the need for meditation or cultivation, these fluffy specks of light quickly integrate into the body upon contact with the skin. The inherent power of light cleanses impurities within the body, compressing the soul power and making it purer and more refined.

Xu Zihuang and Zhang Lexuan, still holding hands, were also bathed in this golden light, gazing upwards.

Zhang Lexuan was immersed in the grief of Mu Lao's passing, and Xu Zihuang was also touched.

While Elder Mu's complete openness to him was certainly driven by his own motives, his feelings were genuine. Tragically, Elder Mu was kept completely in the dark from beginning to end.

"I will not touch Shrek Academy, and I will ensure its continued existence for generations to come. Elder Mu, this is my promise to you." Xu Zihuang murmured to himself, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"But the premise is that it is no longer the Shrek Academy that originally belonged to Douluo Continent, but the Shrek Academy of the Sun Moon Empire."

Once the mainland is unified, an academy will no longer be able to enjoy its current superior status, and naturally, it will be unable to influence the overall situation.

After calming his emotions, Xu Zihuang realized that Elder Mu hadn't given him the Dragon Pill he so desperately desired. However, he knew in his heart that the Dragon Pill was most likely entrusted to Long Xiaoyao, just like in his memories from his previous life.

Considering the special uses of the Dragon Pill, Long Xiaoyao will probably have to take the initiative to mess with him again.

But at this point, this is the only way.

In the blink of an eye, Yan Shaozhe organized all the inner court disciples to sit cross-legged, concentrate on meditation, and make full use of every bit of power in the golden light left behind by Elder Mu.

This is the last gift that Elder Mu left to the academy.

The inner disciples, each with tears in their eyes, circulated their soul power amidst the extremely dense aura of light.

Only Xu Zihuang and Zhang Lexuan were exceptions.

After a long while, Zhang Lexuan withdrew her hand. The expression on her beautiful face returned to its usual gentle and graceful state, but a trace of sadness remained deep in her eyes.

"Tianhuang".

"What's wrong, Senior Sister?" Xu Zihuang turned his head and looked directly into Zhang Lexuan's eyes.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have condensed a soul core, right?" Zhang Lexuan forced a smile.

"Elder Mu's judgment is never wrong. He previously designated you as the successor to the Sea God Pavilion. I also believe that Shrek Academy will become even more prosperous under your leadership."

……

The siblings Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, located south of Poseidon Island, also witnessed the extremely shocking scene before Elder Mu's passing.

In their Sun Moon Empire, even powerful Title Douluos with Beast Martial Souls could only unleash a Martial Soul True Body that was at most tens of meters long. A Martial Soul True Body that was hundreds of meters long was something only Super Douluos could achieve.

The thousand-meter-long white dragon that Elder Mu transformed into was completely beyond their common sense.

Xiao Hongchen clenched his fists, his gaze slightly narrowed. He had felt more than once that coming to Shrek Academy to study was the best decision he had ever made.

Meng Hongchen was also lost in thought. Shrek Academy truly lived up to its reputation as the number one academy on the continent.

Chapter 291 Powerful Mental Strength

The pure and luminous aura left behind by Elder Mu before his departure made the auras of the inner disciples noticeably more solid.

Many inner court disciples gained insights from this, and upon returning to their residences, immediately entered a state of deep meditation. This was especially true for inner court disciples who, like Elder Mu, possessed a martial soul with the light attribute.

Under Elder Xuan's instructions, Xu Zihuang went to the underground world of the Sea God Pavilion to carefully reflect on his gains.

The pure mental-type Evil Eye Tyrant Soul Ring, with its 100,000-year cultivation, and the four 100,000-year-old mental-attribute Soul Skills granted by the Soul Bone, were deeply engraved in his mind. He would only need to become familiar with them naturally when using them in the future. However, the changes brought about by the breakthrough of his mental power to a tangible and substantial realm and the condensation and fusion of the Soul Core would require a certain amount of time to become familiar with and adapt to.

Just like how his spiritual attribute soul core quietly triggered the circulation of soul power within the inner court disciples, it was a sign that he had not yet been able to perfectly control the power of the soul core between his eyebrows.

With his wisdom and insight, Master Xuan certainly understood this point.

Only after Elder Mu's passing did he truly realize the weight of his responsibilities. As Elder Mu's designated successor to the Sea God Pavilion, Yu Tianhuang must enter a period of rapid growth in the coming years.

His idea was to allow Yu Tianhuang to reach the bottleneck of becoming a Title Douluo within about ten years. With a soul core operating on its own and gathering the power of heaven and earth, this was not impossible.

The insurmountable gap between Title Douluo and Soul Douluo is not simply due to the lack of a ninth soul ring; the more important reason lies in the soul core.

Once a Soul Master successfully condenses and fuses with their Soul Core, the Soul Core within their body is constantly operating at high speed. Even if Yu Tianhuang doesn't cultivate now, the operating Soul Core can still automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enhance his cultivation level.

At the same time, after possessing a soul core, his total soul power and the speed at which his soul power regenerates have both undergone tremendous leaps.

However, besides these reasons, another reason why Elder Xuan had so much confidence in Yu Tianhuang was that Yu Tianhuang's soul power level had been raised to level sixty-seven after continuously fusing a 100,000-year-old soul ring, soul bone, and soul core.

With such a significant increase in his soul power cultivation, Xu Zihuang himself would also need to spend some time consolidating it.

Taking this opportunity, he also handed over the blueprints for the Level 9 fixed-mount soul guide cannon and some high-level soul guides that were recorded at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy to Elder Xuan. It was better to bring these things out as soon as possible.

After all, he will need the power of Shrek Academy to fight against the Sun Moon Empire under Xu Tianran's rule in the future, and some powerful soul tools are indispensable.

Of course, he also had a backup plan: his former direct subordinates from the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Group. He kept a copy of all the blueprints for this purpose. Moon Pivot Island couldn't compare to Shrek Academy in terms of resources, but it had Wang Xiao, a senior level eight Soul Instructor.

Several years ago, he even broke through to the level of Title Douluo. Several years have passed, and he has a great chance of becoming a level nine Soul Master.

Once Wang Xiao officially becomes a level nine soul master, then Moon Pivot Island will be more capable than Shrek Academy of producing level nine fixed-position soul guide cannons.

The open space in front of the Sea God Pavilion.

One by one, the inner court disciples who had finished their meditation practice departed. Each inner court disciple had one opportunity to enter the underground world of the Sea God Pavilion for deep meditation.

Although these inner court disciples received guidance from Elder Mu to varying degrees because of this, only a minority had long-term interactions with him.

There may be sadness, but it could not be as intense as that felt by Zhang Lexuan and Beibei, who were raised by Elder Mu from a young age.

All living plants, animals, and even insects on Poseidon Island benefited greatly from the rain of golden light. In particular, the fireflies, which sparsely twinkled in the night sky, had their tails glow a brilliant gold, just like Elder Mu's kindness and gentleness, soothing everyone's hearts.

At Elder Xuan's instruction, Xu Sanshi carried Beibei on his back and prepared to settle Beibei in a room in the Sea God Pavilion to rest. Tang Ya also stayed there to take care of Beibei.

Ning Tian, ​​Wu Feng, and Nanmen Yun'er stood together.

Ning Tian gazed towards the interior of the Sea God Pavilion, his eyes filled with tenderness and pity, and murmured softly.

"Tianhuang".

Two years had passed since they last met, and their reunion was on such a special occasion. Although she longed to confide in Yu Tianhuang about the years of longing she had endured, she knew now was not the right time.

Ning Tian is usually quite rational.
