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

Having learned a lesson from the near annihilation of their sect ten thousand years ago, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School places great importance on the safety of its members and disciples. This layer of light membrane is a protective soul tool custom-made by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School at great expense, and it even utilizes the principle of linked soul tools to a certain extent.

Squads of Soul Masters, their auras heavy with concentration, patrolled the area around the mountains. But within the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, nestled amidst birdsong and fragrant flowers, all was remarkably tranquil.

In a quiet courtyard, apricot blossoms fell like snowflakes, landing on a young girl's platinum blonde hair.

The girl's slender figure seemed to freeze in time as she slowly raised her fair and delicate hand. Scattered 'snowflakes' adorned her fingertips and her slightly curled platinum blonde hair, creating a scene of breathtaking beauty, like something out of a painting.

The wind blows, apricot blossoms fall like snow, resting briefly on my fingertips. My heart is as clear as the bright moon, waxing and waning for you.

The girl was Ning Tian, ​​who had returned to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. More than five months had passed since Xu Zihuang disappeared, from midsummer to late autumn.

The trees outside were withering and turning yellow, but the apricot blossoms in this courtyard, which had been specially cultivated, were still in full bloom, just like Ning Tian's state of mind at this moment.

Although there was still no news of Yu Tianhuang, she firmly believed that Yu Tianhuang would return safely.

Ning Tian originally planned to return and discuss with her father how to mobilize the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's resources to find Yu Tianhuang. Her father agreed, but his only condition was that she remain within the sect.

A steady footstep suddenly sounded from behind, and Ning Tian turned around gently to look.

The newcomer was a tall, white-haired old man. No trace of soul power could be sensed from him; he appeared to be just an ordinary old man.

The old man looked at Ning Tian with a kind face, his deep eyes filled with pity.

"Tian'er, don't blame your father. He's only thinking about your safety. Although things seem calm on the surface in the Sun Moon Empire, the situation on the mainland isn't as stable as it appears."

"I understand, Great-Grandpa. I also understand Father's decision." Ning Tian forced a smile, but a deep sorrow lingered between his brows. He had also lost a considerable amount of weight. Although she knew from Ye Guyi that Yu Tianhuang had not encountered any danger, how could she not worry?

Gu Lao sighed softly, looking at Ning Tian in front of him, and couldn't help but recall some things from the past.

From a very young age, Ning Tian was groomed to be the successor to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Until he awakened the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's direct martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, at the age of six and displayed astonishing talent, his daily life consisted only of monotonous cultivation. He never experienced the joyful childhood of his peers.

Both he and Ning Tian felt indebted to Ning Tian, ​​as did Ning Tian's father, the sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. But this was the fate of the scions of great soul master families. Having enjoyed the superior conditions provided by the sect, they had to shoulder the corresponding responsibilities and obligations.

The old man reached out his right hand and affectionately patted Ning Tian's head, smiling as he said, "That little fellow Yu Tianhuang's talent is unparalleled even in the tens of thousands of years of the Soul Master world's history. Don't worry, he's a person blessed with great fortune; he won't be so easily harmed. When he returns, have him personally come to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to meet your father and discuss your marriage. We can't let someone take advantage of our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's little princess like this, can we?"

A charming blush immediately spread across Ning Tian's pretty face, and she said coquettishly, "Great-Grandpa—"

She could easily tell that Gu Lao already knew about her relationship with Yu Tianhuang. After all, during the previous All-Continent Youth Soul Master Elite Tournament, she and Yu Tianhuang had engaged in quite a few intimate acts. And Gu Lao had already arrived in Mingdu at that time.

"Soon you'll both be eighteen, not so young anymore. If I could see you, Tian'er, have your own child, I could die in peace." The old man continued to joke with a smile, but there was also a hint of seriousness in his tone.

The soul power cultivated from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's inherited martial soul is balanced and harmonious. If Ning Tian is indeed pregnant, it will not affect her usual cultivation. On the contrary, the soul power circulating in her meridians will have a certain promoting effect on the fetus's development.

Ning Tian said shyly in a soft voice, "Great-Grandpa, it all depends on Tianhuang's opinion."

Having fallen for Yu Tianhuang, she had naturally considered this possibility. In fact, she had dreamed of a future with Yu Tianhuang more than once.

“You haven’t even married him yet, and you’re already starting to side with outsiders.”

Old Gu chuckled and shook his head.

……

Meanwhile, in a certain space within the Douluo Continent.

A massive, deep purple claw suddenly emerged from the void. Deep purple flames danced on the claw, swaying in the wind; even a mere wisp of its aura seemed to extinguish all life within this space, reducing it to nothingness.

The originally stable space was forcibly torn open, and a male and a female figure walked out of the opening.

The young man was tall and imposing, with an extraordinary air about him; the young woman was slender and stunningly beautiful. They were Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er.

It took Xu Zihuang nearly a month to fuse with the Huanglong King's torso. Although he hadn't absorbed some of the energy within the Huanglong King's torso and the Huanglong King's dragon soul energy yet, the energy that the Huanglong King's torso had absorbed into his body had allowed his soul power to break through three levels, from level seventy-four to level seventy-seven.

A level 77 Soul Saint at less than eighteen years old has already made history in the Soul Master world.

In comparison, the time spent in the Dragon Valley Space and the Radiant Dragon Space was negligible.

Xu Zihuang thoughtfully examined the Radiant Dragon Claw on his left hand. His guess was indeed correct; this Radiant Dragon Claw was the key to opening the Radiant Dragon Space. Moreover, this Radiant Dragon Space already bore his imprint, allowing him to break through space and enter at any time using the Radiant Dragon Claw.

Of course, besides the 'key' of the Radiant Dragon Claw, another condition is required: control over spatial power. This is similar to the condition for entering the Dragon Valley space. Xu Zihuang perfectly meets both conditions.

The difference is that entering the Dragon Valley Space requires the bloodline of a true dragon, while entering the Radiant Dragon Space requires the Radiant Dragon Claw.

While the Radiant Dragon Space cannot compare to Electrolux's Necroplane, it can still be used as a massive storage space, and most importantly, it can store living beings. The Radiant Dragon Space is large enough to accommodate several elite Soul Master regiments.

Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er were currently above a valley. Looking down, the valley walls were relatively gentle, covered with lush blue silver grass. The fragrance of the grass wafted on the breeze, interspersed with small wildflowers of various colors.

The ocean of blue silver grass and small flowers stretched all the way into the valley, the entire valley was a light blue-green color, dotted with countless gem-like jewels.

The sun had just dipped below the western horizon, casting its last rays across the valley. Although it was late autumn, the temperature was still quite high, the warmth mingling with the oncoming hot wind, constantly assaulting Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er's bodies.

"This is the southern part of the Sun Moon Empire?!" Xu Zihuang raised an eyebrow in surprise. Looking around the valley, a peculiar sense of familiarity welled up within him.

He had visited this valley in his childhood. It wasn't far from the city where the Purple Emperor's Palace was located. That city was called Huanglong City, the most prosperous city in the southern part of the Sun Moon Empire.

For a long period before the Sun Moon Continent clashed with the original Douluo Continent, the Sun Moon Continent was not initially a unified nation; it experienced a chaotic period of constant conflict. During this time, Huanglong City even served as its capital.

Xu Zihuang looked up towards the east and, thanks to the power of his Golden Eye Martial Soul, he could indeed vaguely make out the outline of a majestic city. The architectural style of this city was completely different from that of the cities on the Star Sea Continent, possessing a metallic texture characteristic of the Sun Moon Empire.

At this point, he could confirm that they had indeed returned to Douluo Continent.

Xu Zihuang landed gracefully at the edge of the valley, lost in thought.

Wang Qiu'er also silently landed beside Xu Zihuang, knowingly remaining silent. She had seen all of Xu Zihuang's memories from this life and knew his feelings.

Xu Zihuang was born into a prominent family and had a happy childhood, but he became all alone because of a palace coup in the Sun Moon Empire's palace. He has come to this point because he is burdened with a blood feud.

Wang Qiu'er's long, wavy, light blue hair swayed in the wind as she stood side by side with Xu Zihuang. Her long, curled eyelashes, straight nose, flawless white skin, and pink lips all exemplified the definition of beauty.

Unlike her usual indifference, her eyes held a faint hint of worry before falling on Xu Zihuang.

Although she couldn't truly empathize, after being in the human world for so long, she had begun to experience human emotions. This was the biggest difference between humans and spirit beasts.

Sensing Wang Qiu'er's gaze, Xu Zihuang suppressed all his emotions and calmly asked, "What are your plans next? Will you return to Shrek Academy, or go back to the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Looking into Xu Zihuang's deep, dark purple eyes, Wang Qiu'er reacted particularly strongly for some reason.

"Do you really want me to leave?!"

Wang Qiu'er trembled slightly as she suddenly turned around, her eyes brimming with tears, as if she were questioning someone as she shouted.

In his eyes, I was ultimately just a soul beast...

Wang Qiu'er felt a lump in her throat, and suddenly stomped her right foot on the ground. Instantly, she transformed into a golden light and dashed away into the distance like lightning.

But before she could get very far, Xu Zihuang grabbed her wrist and forcibly stopped her.

Wang Qiu'er turned around and glared at Xu Zihuang, her eyes filled with bitterness and grievance. She wanted to stubbornly break free, but she also wanted to hear what Xu Zihuang would say.

Xu Zihuang took a deep breath and said firmly, "I never said that. I just want to tell you that whether you decide to return to Shrek Academy or go back to the Star Dou Great Forest is your own choice. You are free, and no one can interfere with your destiny."

Upon hearing this, the bitterness and grievance in Wang Qiu'er's eyes vanished instantly, and she pursed her lips tightly. However, she still forcefully broke free from Xu Zihuang's right hand, and in a few flashes, her figure disappeared from the spot.

This time, Xu Zihuang did not chase after her. As he said, Wang Qiu'er was free, and he had no right to interfere excessively.

He stood there for a long time before finally turning his gaze away. Then he stared back into the depths of the valley and let out a cold snort.

"After watching for so long, it's time for you to show yourself."

Xu Zihuang's voice wasn't loud, but it echoed through the valley, lingering for a long time. At this moment, the previously calm Blue Silver Grass in the valley trembled slightly. Then, patches of Blue Silver Grass stood up, rising upwards like sharp thorns.

Every bush and tree seems like an enemy soldier.

"Why do you, as a human Soul Master, have such a deep connection with the Emperor-level Auspicious Beast? That's an Emperor-level Auspicious Beast!" A deep, surprised voice echoed from the depths of the valley.

Thick, blue vines converged together. Each vine looked as clear and sparkling as blue crystal, yet its interior undulated and flowed like the veins of a leaf.

The vines quickly coiled together, transforming into a human form. This wasn't a true human form like that of a ferocious beast, but rather a human form woven from vines.

These vines were none other than the legendary Blue Silver Emperor. Before Xu Zihuang stood a Blue Silver Emperor with a cultivation level exceeding one hundred thousand years!

Chapter 434 The Blue Silver Emperor's Request and Reunion

Xu Zihuang did not answer Lan Yinhuang's question, but instead combined several images in his mind.

This valley, where he had once played with his parents and Ye Guyi during his childhood, was the hiding place of the Blue Silver Emperor from the Sun Moon Empire in his memories of his previous life. It was also the place where the Radiant Dragon King fell.

Although the Radiant Dragon King created the Radiant Dragon Space upon his fall, his left claw, severed by the Dragon God, remained on the Sun and Moon Continent. The terrifying destructive power directly melted and collapsed a mountain several thousand meters high, thus forming the unique valley before us.

From destruction comes creation. Over countless years, this valley has been revitalized, its life force as rich as the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. In a sense, it is a treasure trove. However, the life force within the valley dissipates over time, preventing it from becoming a supreme treasure like the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

The Blue Silver Emperor, hidden in the valley, was born here and transformed from an ordinary Blue Silver Grass into a Blue Silver Emperor, and has been cultivating for 190,000 years.

Looking at Xu Zihuang, the Blue Silver Emperor's face, composed of crystalline vines, revealed a hint of anthropomorphic surprise.

"Why do I feel a familiar aura from you again?"

Although the abilities of their Blue Silver Grass lineage are not particularly powerful, their perception of auras is extremely keen. They can even, to a certain extent, avoid danger and seek good fortune. His ability to successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and achieve his current cultivation level is undoubtedly related to this.

Xu Zihuang raised his head, looked at Lan Yinhuang, and said calmly, "Because I came here more than ten years ago."

"It's you?" The Blue Silver Emperor suddenly realized, as if recalling something. Although he had always hidden himself in the valley and never shown himself, all the Blue Silver Grass in the valley were essentially extensions of his perception. Therefore, even when he occasionally fell asleep, he was fully aware of the situation outside.

Xu Zihuang continued.

“A friend of mine possesses the pure royal blood of the Blue Silver Grass clan. Since we have met today, leave behind a single leaf of your own body. With your cultivation level, there is a very high probability that you can help her martial soul evolve. I think that losing just a single leaf will not have a significant impact on you.”

Having the strength and confidence to protect himself under any circumstances, he naturally has no need to deliberately suppress himself and become a vessel for power.

At this stage, although his beliefs remain unwavering, he has become more impulsive and unrestrained.

He was simply following his heart and wanted to help Tang Ya, nothing more.

Blue Silver Emperor fell silent, then gave Xu Zihuang a deep look.

"You are very powerful; I can sense a strong aura of danger emanating from you. With your strength, you could easily defeat me without lifting a finger and then leave with my corpse and soul bones. Why don't you do that?"

"Do you want to die?" A clear, melodious female voice suddenly rang out, arrogant yet cold.

As specks of golden light converged, a graceful young woman in a purple-gold dress appeared out of thin air beside Xu Zihuang. The hem of her dress was embroidered with rose-gold patterns resembling bamboo joints, and her slender waist was so delicate it could be encircled with one hand.

The girl appeared to be a year or two older than Xu Zihuang, with purple hair and golden eyes. Her beautiful face and the arrogance in her eyes complemented each other perfectly. She was none other than the Thunderous Hell Vine, who had formed a contract to become Xu Zihuang's soul spirit.

Having experienced being persecuted by the plant-type soul beasts within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, she also harbored little affection for the Blue Silver Emperor.

However, Lei Mingyan Yuteng did not forget to respectfully bow to Xu Zihuang at this moment.

"Lord."

Her address was entirely from the heart. The realm of gods, which was unattainable for them, the soul beasts, was something Xu Zihuang had already touched. Moreover, even the Emperor-level auspicious beast held Xu Zihuang in high regard.

Choosing to follow Xu Zihuang was undoubtedly the best decision she ever made.

Xu Zihuang nodded slightly; he had sensed something earlier. Souls wishing to leave his sea of ​​consciousness for the outside world needed his permission. The Thunderous Hell Vine was no exception.

After the Thunderous Hell Vine appeared, the area above the valley became shrouded in darkness. Countless streaks of purple-gold lightning seemed to flash within, emanating a chilling aura that caused the Blue Silver Emperor's expression to change drastically.
