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

The sun sets and the moon rises. The day passes quickly, and night falls.

Within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the bodies of various strange plant-type soul beasts shimmered with colorful light, overflowing with precious radiance. This scene was even more breathtaking and magnificent than during the day.

Ye Guyi finally ended her meditative state. The last trace of crimson light receded, and wisps of crimson energy quietly merged into her left arm.

A head of long, flowing golden hair gently draped over her fragrant shoulders.

Her eyes opened and closed, and a deep crimson light flickered within her originally golden eyes, like two leaping flames. The outline of the flames resembled the true form of the fiery apricot blossom.

Sensing the changes within herself, even with Ye Guyi's composure, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

After fusing with Liehuo Xingjiaoshu's 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone, her soul power cultivation broke through five levels, reaching level seventy-five.

When a Soul Master's Soul Power cultivation level exceeds 70, their cultivation speed will decrease significantly.

Because the amount of soul power required to advance one level of soul power is extremely astonishing.

Ye Guyi's martial soul foundation was profound enough, and the quality of her soul power far exceeded that of ordinary soul masters. Under normal circumstances, absorbing a 100,000-year-old soul ring or soul bone would only allow her to break through three or four levels at most. The reason why her soul power cultivation was able to directly increase to level seventy-five was also closely related to that 100,000-year-old Acacia Heartbreak Red.

Moreover, most of the medicinal effects of the Acacia Heartbreak Red are contained within her body and have not yet been fully absorbed. They will gradually integrate with her body in the future.

In this way, Ye Guyi will definitely be able to reach the level 80 bottleneck in a short period of time. This process may only take two to three years.

The moment Ye Guyi finished cultivating, Xu Zihuang, who was sitting opposite Ye Guyi with his eyes closed, opened them.

Their eyes met, and they stood up simultaneously in perfect unison.

Xu Zihuang smiled and stepped forward to embrace Ye Guyi's slender waist. Unlike Ning Tian and Ju Zi's gentle nature, Ye Guyi's body was more resilient. This was perfectly normal. Ning Tian and Ju Zi, one a support-type Soul Master and the other a food-type Soul Master, certainly couldn't match Ye Guyi's strength as a power-attack type Battle Soul Master.

Only Ye Guyi could avoid being at a significant disadvantage when facing Xu Zihuang.

The ten-day, ten-night trip was incredibly valuable.

"Congratulations, Sister Lingyi."

Ye Guyi smiled and stretched out her jade-like arm to wrap around Xu Zihuang's neck.

“Zihuang, the Soul Ring and Soul Bone of the Blazing Apricot Blossom are indeed very suitable for me. In particular, the two Soul Skills attached to that 100,000-year Soul Bone can be used in combination with the Scorching Sun Flame skill of my right arm Soul Bone.”

As she spoke, she raised her head and touched Xu Zihuang's forehead, transmitting information about her new abilities to him through mental power.

As she broke through to the Soul Saint realm, her spiritual power naturally reached the realm of tangible yet intangible. This is precisely the ability of spiritual power at the realm of tangible yet intangible.

Xu Zihuang read through this information and understood. He also told Ye Guyi about his picking of the Hunyuan Immortal Herb, obtaining the essence pollen of the Qiluo Tulip, and his subsequent plans.

Ye Guyi stared intently at Xu Zihuang, who was standing close at hand, and revealed a mysterious smile.

"If you upgrade that little girl from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, she'll probably be even more devoted to you."

Xu Zihuang's expression was somewhat unnatural. He knew that it would be inappropriate to say anything now, so he leaned closer and showed his attitude through his actions.

Ye Guyi initially resisted with a hint of jealousy, but before she knew it, she was completely absorbed in it.

A moment later, Ye Guyi, her chest heaving slightly, glared at Xu Zihuang with a blush on her pretty face.

Expressing her dissatisfaction and jealousy is enough; there's no point in making a scene any further. She understands the principle that everything should be done in moderation.

Xu Zihuang then placed the necklace made of the Heart of Silk on Ye Guyi's head. The necklace's design perfectly suited Ye Guyi's aesthetic, elegant and graceful yet undeniably noble. The purplish-gold chain and the deep purple Heart of Silk further accentuated her fair and radiant skin.

The two then glanced at the Medusa head bone.

Xu Zihuang pondered for a moment and said, "Sister Lingyi, you should put this soul bone away for now. My plan is to get you a head soul bone of the 100,000-year level. Although the quality of this soul bone is excellent, it has not yet met my expectations. Let's wait and see. If we can't get a suitable soul bone later, it won't be too late to fuse this one."

"Mm." Ye Guyi nodded and used her soul power to guide the Medusa head soul bone into her storage ring.

This head bone is different from the right arm bone she fused with earlier. Medusa's Gaze is a powerful skill, but it doesn't quite suit her Holy Angel Martial Soul.

With their talent, she and Xu Zihuang would be able to directly confront a 100,000-year-old soul beast within five years. There was indeed no need to rush to fuse with this soul bone.

"Let's go." Xu Zihuang released his Golden Eye Martial Soul and ascended into the air, stepping on a dark red crystal mirror.

Ye Guyi also released her martial spirit, flapping her wings and following Xu Zihuang.

When he reached mid-air, Xu Zihuang suddenly turned around and faced the three 100,000-year-old plant-type soul beasts below the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye: the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Beast, the Qiluo Tulip, and the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass, and chuckled.

"I hope you can take good care of that Acacia mangium."

Chapter 342 A Different Identity

The hazy, cool moonlight poured down, coloring the seven-colored poisonous miasma above the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire into a uniform hue, like ethereal clouds, condensed and unyielding.

Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi's figures appeared above the seven-colored poisonous miasma, with the silver moon hanging high in the night sky behind them. Their long hair fluttered in the wind, their ethereal beauty like that of a figure in a painting.

Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi exchanged a glance, then drifted away towards the south of Sunset Forest.

They planned to rest for the night on the outskirts of Sunset Forest and then head to Shrek Academy the next day.

There are still about four months until the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament in Mingdu. The Shrek Academy semester is also nearing its end. During the subsequent month-long break, lower-grade outer academy students will be busy preparing for their advancement exams, while upper-grade outer academy students will take exams to enter the inner academy or for graduation.

At the same time, Shrek Academy's inner academy will also recruit students from mainland China. As long as you meet the requirements, you can be admitted to Shrek Academy's inner academy.

However, Shrek Academy is a gathering place for elite young soul masters from across the continent, and under normal circumstances, very few outside soul masters can pass the Shrek Academy's inner court entrance examination.

Of course, a prodigy like Ye Guyi, whose talent surpasses even that of the inner courtyard's senior sisters Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao, definitely meets the criteria.

At twenty-one years old, he was a Soul Saint with a Soul Power level of seventy-five. His cultivation speed was far faster than that of Senior Sister Zhang Lexuan. For example, Ma Xiaotao was already twenty-four years old, and her Soul Power cultivation was only one level higher than Ye Guyi's.

What Xu Zihuang was most concerned about was what identity Ye Guyi should have when she entered Shrek Academy.

As Xu Zihuang was pondering, Ye Guyi's cold voice suddenly rang in his ears.

"Purple Radiance".

"Hmm?" Xu Zihuang turned to the side and looked directly into Ye Guyi's golden eyes.

Ye Guyi's eyes were deep, and her red lips were slightly parted.

"That little girl from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is named Ning Tian, ​​right? I want to know if you still simply want to use her?"

Xu Zihuang was slightly taken aback, then shook his head quite frankly.

“Sister Lingyi, that was indeed my initial thought. I thought I could suppress all my emotions, but I can’t deny that I was affected by this experience. Elder Mu and Elder Xuan treated me sincerely, Senior Sister took extra care of me, as did Senior Brother Bei, Senior Sister Xiaoya, and Ning Tian. Without realizing it, I seem to have become somewhat immersed in playing the role of Yu Tianhuang, or rather, I have really developed a sense of belonging to Shrek Academy.”

"Perhaps these things won't shake my resolve in the future, but they are real feelings deep in my heart. Especially recently, the rapid improvement in my abilities has greatly reduced my pressure, and my mindset has begun to change."

Upon hearing Xu Zihuang's reply, Ye Guyi remained silent for a long time before revealing a relieved smile. Her mind drifted back to memories of her childhood with Xu Zihuang.

This is the real Xu Zihuang, without having to suppress herself too much.

"Zihuang, I've decided what identity I should assume to enter Shrek Academy with you." Ye Guyi smiled sweetly at Xu Zihuang.

"From now on, I'm your older sister. Yes, your biological older sister."

"???" Ye Guyi's unexpected words left Xu Zihuang momentarily bewildered. But upon further reflection, he felt that this fake identity was indeed quite suitable.

First of all, he and Ye Guyi could not possibly pretend that they did not know each other.

Ye Guyi's ability to disguise himself was no match for his. Anyone with eyes could see from Ye Guyi's subtle expressions and words that their relationship was extraordinary.

If they are siblings, then everything makes perfect sense.

Xu Zihuang's public identity is that of the illegitimate son of the current leader of the Tianlong Sect. As for the identity of his birth mother, the Tianlong Sect has not provided detailed information. This is inherently a shameful matter, and Shrek Academy has absolute trust in Xu Zihuang, so naturally they will not insist on tracing the origins of his father.

Moreover, even if an investigation were conducted, with the Tianlongmen as witnesses, nothing would be found.

Ye Guyi was a descendant of the Angelic Family, which had long since fallen and scattered across the continent. Her family had been wiped out by evil spirit masters, and their origins remained unknown.

Once Ye Guyi reveals her Holy Angel Martial Soul and shows that she is Xu Zihuang's older sister, conventional thinking will lead people to conclude that Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi's biological mother are descendants of the Angel Family.

Ten thousand years ago, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan was destroyed by the Spirit Hall, which was controlled by the Angel Clan. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the two clans had a blood feud. Even after ten thousand years, this hatred is difficult to completely erase.

This is especially true for the older generation of Soul Masters who are inherently stubborn. Xu Zihuang's maternal grandfather happens to fall into this category.

This explains why Xu Zihuang, despite his extraordinary talent, was not accepted by the Tianlong Sect.

A perfect closed loop.

"Well, Zihuang, you should understand my intention now."

Ye Guyi was no longer the aloof person she had been before. With a smile on her face, she glanced at Xu Zihuang with a charming and alluring expression.

"Call me 'sister,' and I'll give you a reward later."

"Can I refuse this reward?" Xu Zihuang deliberately pretended to be unmoved.

Ye Guyi raised an eyebrow and said with a slight reproach.

"No. You only have two choices: accept the reward voluntarily, or accept it involuntarily."

"..."

Half an hour later, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi set up camp on a hill with a wide view in the southern part of Sunset Forest.

The campfire flickered in the wind, sending up a string of sparks that dissipated into the air. The Sunset Forest, located in the north-central part of the Heavenly Soul Empire, was much colder than the Star Dou Great Forest. And now, in the midst of winter, the howling winds grew increasingly fierce.

The frequency of sparks flying up is also increasing.

"Clap clap-"

The crimson campfire cast its light on the nearby cowhide tent, creating an interplay of light and shadow.

The next morning, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi were ready to set off.

Ye Guyi's fair face was flushed slightly as she affectionately linked arms with Xu Zihuang, looking radiant.

The enhancements to her physical attributes from the Ten Thousand Years of Blazing Fire, the Apricot Blossom's Soul Ring, and the Heartbreak Red were fully demonstrated last night.

Of course, Xu Zihuang, whose physical strength is comparable to that of a humanoid beast, would not be at a disadvantage.

Ye Guyi raised her chin slightly and gestured to Xu Zihuang.

"Sister." Xu Zihuang had no choice but to comply with Ye Guyi's wishes and enter the role she was playing.

Although Ye Guyi had repeatedly asked Xu Zihuang to address her that way last night, the perverse pleasure was even stronger in this formal setting.

"Ah."

However, she showed no outward sign of anything amiss, simply responding naturally. Her gaze towards Xu Zihuang was filled with doting affection.

This is something that doesn't need to be faked.

Ye Guyi asked with a smile.

"How is it, Zihuang? This should be fine now."

"There shouldn't be any flaws. Let's go, Sister Lingyi. Just adapt as quickly as possible before we arrive at Shrek Academy." Xu Zihuang nodded helplessly. Ye Guyi's disguise as such could save him a lot of trouble, but he still had a strange feeling. It seemed that it would take some time to get used to it.
