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

"What's wrong, Tianhuang? I fed you like this when you were unconscious before."

"Thank you, Orange."

Xu Zihuang certainly knew all this; he had seen it all in the memories transmitted to him by the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. It was precisely because of this that he was moved.

Ju Zi paused slightly, gazing at Xu Zihuang with undiminished tenderness in her beautiful eyes, but said nothing more. She simply fed Xu Zihuang several bowls of meat porridge, her dark eyes filled with affection, showing great patience and care.

On this very rock, the two spent a period of peaceful seclusion.

Another half month passed, and Xu Zihuang had basically fully recovered. Ju Zi also knew that the happy times she was currently enjoying were about to end, and she would have to return to that place.

The campfire swayed in the sea breeze, and the sparks it kicked up dissipated in the wind.

Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi sat embracing on a protruding rock, their faces close together, their breaths mingling. They were deeply moved and lost in their own world.

Night faded and the sun rose. Bathed in a golden glow, the two stopped what they were doing and gazed eastward.

"Let's go." Xu Zihuang stood up, holding the oranges in his arms. The Demon Whale was anchored in the sea in front of them.

Their destination was Moon Pivot Island.

Chapter 321 Orange's Departure

The sturdy sails billowed in the wind, propelling the Demon Whale toward Moon Pivot Island.

Previously, when Xu Zihuang used the Void ability attached to his Golden Eye Martial Soul True Body, he teleported southward, traversing a distance of over a thousand miles in one fell swoop.

This is the power of mental strength at the demigod level.

Moreover, this is far from the limit. It is only due to his current level of soul power cultivation that he is unable to fully unleash the power of his demigod-level spiritual power and the Golden Eye Martial Soul True Body.

Orange carefully compared the nautical chart and determined their current location: three hundred kilometers northwest of Moon Pivot Island.

In this respect, she is more skilled than Xu Zihuang. After all, she has trained in the South China Sea Soul Master Corps for more than two years, and commanding troops in naval battles requires basic seafaring ability.

If we take Moon Pivot Island as the center, they have indeed entered the near-shore waters.

However, to cross a 300-kilometer stretch of sea, a typical large ocean-going vessel would need at least two to three days to sail.

Xu Zihuang did not rush on his journey. After half a month of rest and meditation, he gained a deeper understanding of the abilities of the Golden Eye Martial Soul.

Both the void and precognitive abilities are powers he can control when using his Golden Eye True Form. The void ability is self-evident; he escaped with Orange using this ability. He locates his position by projecting his mental energy, then traverses the void, crossing thousands of miles.

Similar to the distant descent of the Beast God Di Tian in his past life memories. However, Di Tian used his own reverse scale for location. From this alone, one can see the formidable power of his Golden Eye Martial Soul, possessing such an innate talent. It truly deserves to be called a divinely favored Martial Soul.

Future vision, as the name suggests, is the ability to see events in the future. He had previously used this ability to see many fragmented scenes, until the Demon Emperor was about to fall into his hands, at which point the scenes became coherent.

All of these scenes are closely related to the Demon Emperor and Lan Fuzi and her daughter.

Putting all of that together, he was able to deduce that the Demon Emperor would not approach the mainland or the Moon South Islands in the coming years.

Now that he has fully recovered, there is no need for him to be timid. Moreover, if he were to face the Demon Emperor again with some preparation, he is confident that he could escape unscathed, or at least not in such a sorry state as before.

Xu Zihuang sat at the front of the Demon Whale, his legs bent, his feet planted in the grooves where he channeled his soul power. An invisible soul-guided shield blocked the sea breeze and distorted the light.

The Demon Whale vanished mysteriously from the sea. Even with a spirit-attribute soul core, the soul power consumed to maintain such a special level-six soul-guided shield was less than the spiritual energy absorbed by the soul core itself.

His soul power not only remained undiminished, but it also subtly enhanced his cultivation level. During the month or so he spent on the reef, he primarily rested and didn't cultivate much. However, relying solely on the self-circulation of his spiritual attribute soul core, his soul power cultivation naturally broke through to level sixty-eight.

Ju Zi sat on Xu Zihuang's lap, her jade-like arms wrapped around his neck. She had maintained this posture since they set off this morning, and she never seemed to tire of it.

Her eyes reflected Xu Zihuang's image, and a faint, gentle smile played on her lips.

Xu Zihuang, examining the six-level sealed baby bottle in his hand, noticed Ju Zi's gaze, looked up, and met her eyes with a smile. Ju Zi then offered Xu Zihuang a slice of plump, blood-red orange flesh to his lips.

The sweet juice bursts in your mouth. At first, it's refreshingly sweet, but it quickly transforms into a warm, bubbling sensation as it enters your stomach.

Xu Zihuang felt his abundant blood and energy being mobilized and surging.

Blood-Red Orange. This is the sixth soul skill with the best effect of oranges, and also her only ten-thousand-year soul skill. The effect of this blood-red orange is to replenish qi and blood. Although it does not increase the combat power of a soul master, it is a life-saving medicine for those who are seriously injured and have lost too much blood.

What's most remarkable is that this soul skill doesn't consume much soul power. With Ju Zi's current cultivation level, she could easily condense and create hundreds or even thousands of them. With such outstanding talent in food-type martial souls, even if Ju Zi didn't have the talent to command armies in battle, she would still be highly sought after by the military.

For the past two weeks, Ju Zi had been feeding Xu Zihuang a blood-red orange every day. And it was an enhanced version of the blood-red orange, condensed from almost a third of Ju Zi's own soul power.

Although Ju Zi's soul skill didn't have much effect on Xu Zihuang, he didn't want to let Ju Zi down.

Orange offered another slice of orange, smiling.

"Tianhuang, if you are interested in this sealed baby bottle, you can take it back to study. There is no encryption array inside."

Xu Zihuang held the sealed baby bottle, shook his head with a wry smile.

"no need."

Orange came closer with a smile.

"The entire South China Sea Soul Master Corps was wiped out by that deep-sea demon whale. No one will care about losing a few sealed milk bottles."

Upon hearing Ju Zi's words, Xu Zihuang fell silent. How could he not understand the unspoken meaning behind Ju Zi's words?

Ju Zi decided to return to the Sun Moon Empire's military, or rather, to Xu Tianran's side. Although there were various reasons for this, and Xu Tianran, the eunuch, couldn't do anything to Ju Zi, he still instinctively felt a sense of rejection.

After a month of Orange's close care for him, it's impossible for him to be completely unmoved. He was rational enough, not that he had lost his emotions.

Ju Zi noticed the unusual emotions deep in Xu Zihuang's eyes, and she herself felt extremely depressed and pained.

But she really didn't have the right to be willful.

"Tianhuang".

"Ok?"

Xu Zihuang replied subconsciously, but Ju Zi's beautiful face was already right in front of him.

Orange transformed everything into a burning and genuine emotion, murmuring incessantly in her heart.

"I'm sorry, Tianhuang..."

Happy times are always fleeting.

The Demon Whale's speed was much faster than that of large ocean-going ships. Even without deliberately rushing, Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi arrived at Moon Pivot Port, north of Moon Pivot Island, at noon the following day.

Due to its geographical advantages, Moon Pivot Island has several natural harbors. Moon Pivot Harbor, located at the northernmost point, is the largest of these harbors, only a few kilometers away from Moon Pivot City.

The harbor was filled with ships of all sizes. There were merchant ships carrying goods, fishing boats for deep-sea fishing, and small private vessels.

Only Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi survived the Demon Emperor's attack. The people on Moon Pivot Island were naturally unaware of what had happened in that sea area more than a month ago.

The port remains as bustling and peaceful as it was when Xu Zihuang left.

The distant sky was cloudless, and sunlight poured down directly, illuminating the coastal city of Moon Pivot, which stood like a fairyland. The towering, massive city walls were completely exposed to the eye.

Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi walked side by side along the wide road into Moon Pivot City. The temperature on land was significantly higher than at sea, and the scorching sun gave the air a distorted and surreal feel.

With Xu Zihuang's cultivation level, he was already immune to heat and cold, so such a high-temperature environment did not affect him. However, Ju Zi, who had forcibly increased her soul power cultivation by taking drugs, experienced stagnation when circulating her soul power and could not regulate it herself through her soul power.

The woman with the orange haircut wore an exquisite straw hat that shielded her from the sun, while her arms wrapped around Xu Zihuang's arm. Xu Zihuang's body was like a piece of cold jade, radiating a cool aura that relieved the surrounding heatwave.

Both of them were exceptionally good-looking, and their journey into Moon Pivot City attracted a lot of attention from those around them.

Xu Zihuang grasped the orange's soft hand and smiled gently.

"Are you feeling alright? How about we find a hotel to rest first?"

Orange retorted with a slight pout, "Am I that delicate?"

"She seems quite delicate."

Xu Zihuang chuckled softly, his expression enigmatic.

That's only compared to you.

Orange's pretty face flushed slightly. She held up her right hand to the brim of her hat to prevent it from being blown away by the sea breeze, then looked up and met Xu Zihuang's gaze. She recalled what had happened during that month on the reef. Although the two of them hadn't taken the final step, they had tried almost everything else. And many of these attempts were at her own request, so as not to have any regrets.

However, Yu Tianhuang's physical strength was on a completely different level from hers, so the result was predictable.

Xu Zihuang bent down and lightly touched Ju Zi's red lips before pulling her closer to Yue Shu City.

"Let's go into the city first."

"Ah."

Orange-faced with a blush, she nodded, her delicate body pressed against Xu Zihuang's chest, her eyes hazy.

On this secluded Moon Pivot Island, she didn't need to worry about so much. She just wanted to immerse herself in this fleeting happiness.

At Orange's strong suggestion, the two did not rush to check into the hotel, but instead strolled around Moon Pivot City. The main road in Moon Pivot City was large enough to allow more than ten carriages to pass side by side, and tall buildings rose from the ground.

For some reason, the area around Moon Pivot Island rarely experiences such extremely harsh environments. The overall architecture within the city is quite retro, somewhat similar to the ancient architectural style of the Douluo Continent. The overall color scheme is predominantly white and gold.

However, their high-profile behavior inevitably attracted the attention of those with ulterior motives.

As night fell, the entire city of Moon Pivot was enveloped in a sea of ​​rose gold. A cool sea breeze mingled with the scorching heat, causing the temperature to drop sharply.

Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi stopped in front of a shop by the roadside. Inside the crystal display case were various exquisite ornaments, including gemstones that were special to the Yue Nan Islands.

Ju Zi was selecting jewelry inside the counter, while Xu Zihuang sat beside her with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, he sensed a prying gaze and instantly released his mental energy.

A burly young man, hidden in the shadows of the street, appeared clearly in his mind.

The young man appeared to be around twenty-five years old, with dark skin and a somewhat serious expression on his honest face.

Upon seeing this person, Xu Zihuang's gaze softened again.

"rash."

During the three years of rigorous training on Moon Pivot Island, Meng Lang often accompanied him in sparring. Like his father Meng Cang, Meng Lang's martial soul was the Black-Striped Narwhal, a remarkably powerful martial soul.

Whale-like spirit beasts in the ocean are equivalent to dragon-like spirit beasts on land; any spirit beast with the word "whale" in its name is unlikely to be weak. The same applies to martial spirits.

Over the years, Meng Lang's soul power cultivation has also made considerable progress, and now his soul power has reached level sixty.

Undeniably, his rapid cultivation speed was largely due to the spirit ring he fused with from the three-thousand-year-old demonic tiger whale. Such a top-grade spirit ring could improve a spirit master's aptitude to a certain extent.

Moreover, with Xu Zihuang around for the first three years, he benefited from the amplification of the spiritual energy gathered by the silver scales during his cultivation. Such a cultivation speed is entirely within reason.

Xu Zihuang's perception was accurate; Meng Lang had indeed just reached the bottleneck of level sixty. His purpose in leaving the manor for Moon Pivot City was to apply to Wang Xiao for assistance from the powerful members of the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps to obtain a suitable sixth soul ring.

He happened to see Xu Zihuang on the way, and the extremely familiar feeling made him stop immediately.

Over the years, Meng Lang has become much more composed, refraining from rash actions and instead observing from the shadows.

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly rang in his mind.
