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

"Your true form is the Thunderous Hell Vine? A Thunderous Hell Vine with 100,000 years of cultivation?! How did you do that?"

Both the Thunderous Hell Vine and the Blue Silver Emperor are top-tier plant-type soul beasts, but in terms of combat power, the Thunderous Hell Vine completely overwhelms the Blue Silver Emperor in every aspect. The Blue Silver Emperor, with a cultivation of 190,000 years, is still being suppressed and unable to move by the Thunderous Hell Vine, which has only just broken through the 100,000-year bottleneck.

Lei Mingyan Yuteng crossed his arms over his chest and snorted coldly.

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Are you going to give it to me or not?!"

Blue Silver Emperor had no intention of refusing in the first place, and now, under the oppressive aura of the Thunderous Hell Vine, he dared not ask any more questions. He raised his arm, which was formed from vines, and with a gentle shake, a section of crystal-clear blue vine floated in front of Xu Zihuang.

Xu Zihuang casually stored the vine into his Radiant Dragon Ring and prepared to leave. He hadn't originally intended to be so forceful, but since the Thunderous Hell Vine had already done so, he wouldn't say anything. In any case, he had achieved his goal.

Lei Ming Yan Yu Teng bowed to Xu Zihuang again, a stark contrast to his domineering and forceful manner towards Lan Yin Huang. He then returned to Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which had transformed into a golden sun earring and was hanging on Xu Zihuang's earlobe, was startled awake and began to communicate with Xu Zihuang while trembling.

"Zihuang, this girl seems to have an even more volatile temper than Bingbing."

All the essence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm merged with Xu Zihuang, and their fusion was the most complete. Its communication with Xu Zihuang naturally shielded it from the Thunderous Hell Vine.

Xu Zihuang shook his head inwardly, too lazy to pay attention to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. At the same time, he activated his soul power and ascended into the air, preparing to return to Shrek Academy.

But just then, Blue Silver Emperor's anxious voice came from behind.

"and many more!"

Xu Zihuang frowned slightly and looked back.

Blue Silver Emperor's eyes were filled with hope as he sighed softly, "Although I have lived in this world for 190,000 years, I am ultimately just a descendant of Blue Silver Grass. Even if I become an emperor, my inherent talent and bloodline limit me, making it impossible for me to survive the upcoming tribulation. My life is about to come to an end."

At this point, his tone changed, and his expression became serious.

"I wonder if you can make me like the Thunderous Hell Vine, merging with you while retaining my consciousness. If you can give me a new life, I am willing to merge with you and give you a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone."

His decision was not made on a whim. Rather, it stemmed from his innate abilities as a member of the Blue Silver Emperor clan, which allowed him to sense an indescribable future within Xu Zihuang. He believed that seizing this opportunity would undoubtedly benefit him for life.

Xu Zihuang chuckled softly, his expression enigmatic.

"Your spirit rings and spirit bones are not suitable for me, and you are too weak."

Hearing Xu Zihuang's words, Lan Yinhuang felt ashamed. He knew all too well that his and Xu Zihuang's martial souls were not compatible, but he still held onto a sliver of hope.

A 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone are extremely rare treasures for ordinary soul masters. They can also greatly compensate for the drawbacks caused by incompatibility in attributes.

But he never expected that Xu Zihuang would reject him so decisively. More accurately, he was disliked.

“However, I do possess the ability to maintain you in the same state as the Thunderous Hell Vine.” After saying this, Xu Zihuang’s figure and aura completely disappeared in the space above the valley, leaving only the Blue Silver Emperor, whose mind was filled with countless thoughts, behind.

……

Xu Zihuang's figure swiftly swept across the high sky. On his way to Shrek Academy, he had Tianmeng Ice Silkworm activate its simulated soul skill to conceal its form, thus saving some trouble.

Although he looked down on the Blue Silver Emperor's spirit rings and spirit bones, he could give them to Ning Tian. Compared to Tang Ya, Ning Tian and he had a much closer relationship. It was normal for him to have such a bias.

As for whether to kill the Blue Silver Emperor to obtain the soul ring and soul bone, or to choose to fuse it into a soul spirit, it would depend on the specific circumstances at that time. Xu Zihuang had no psychological burden whatsoever regarding killing the Blue Silver Emperor.

Even if the Thunderous Hell Vine hadn't intervened, the Blue Silver Emperor wouldn't have had a choice. Taking a section of its vine was hardly a favor or a sign of goodwill.

Before long, the bustling and dazzling Huanglong City came into Xu Zihuang's sight.

Xu Zihuang looked down at the city where he was born. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and his gaze froze.

The surrounding space distorted, and in the next instant, he appeared on a bustling street in the center of Huanglong City. No one noticed anything amiss; the street continued to be filled with people and the noise of the crowd.

A blonde woman not far in front of him seemed to sense something and suddenly turned around. Her long, smooth blonde hair flowed freely, and her once calm and elegant face was no longer composed. In an instant, she threw herself into Xu Zihuang's arms.

"I'm back, Sister Lingyi." Xu Zihuang smiled and hugged Ye Guyi's slender waist, his arms unconsciously tightening their grip.

At the same time, a purplish-gold light separated from Ye Guyi's brow and returned to Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea. This was the spiritual power that he had previously separated, which contained a trace of his soul power.

Ye Guyi raised her head, and her gaze met Xu Zihuang's in mid-air. Their faces were close, feeling each other's familiar warmth.

In the past five months, Ye Guyi has traveled to almost every corner of the continent in search of Xu Zihuang, but to no avail. Finally, almost by chance, she returned to Huanglong City, where they had lived in their childhood. Unexpectedly, she encountered Xu Zihuang there as he returned to the continent.

Xu Zihuang stared in surprise at Ye Guyi's slightly reddened eyes. This was the first time he had seen Ye Guyi show such a side of herself since they recognized each other three years ago.

"What's wrong, Sister Lingyi?"

"What do you think?" Ye Guyi glared at Xu Zihuang with annoyance, then flashed a beautiful smile, her noble golden eyes filled with a hint of fervor.

"To meet again here is perhaps fate's arrangement."

Before Xu Zihuang could respond, she raised her head again.

The moistness and sweetness between their lips captivated Xu Zihuang. The joy of their reunion overlapped with the attachment from their childhood, all within the Huanglong City where they had built countless memories.

Chapter 435 Special Verification Methods and Absorption of the Myriad-Year-Old Profound Ice Marrow

Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi, embracing each other and their breaths mingling, were clearly on the bustling streets of Huanglong City, yet they seemed to exist in another parallel universe. No one could detect their presence.

Anyone who gets close will be repelled by an invisible, gentle force without being noticed.

This is precisely the ability of Xu Zihuang's Golden Eye Martial Soul. As his cultivation level increases, his understanding of his own Martial Soul's abilities also deepens subtly. At this stage, his control over the power of time and space is already unmatched below the Douluo Star God level. The only thing he lacks is cultivation.

However, since he broke through to the Soul Saint realm, the potential of his ultimate martial soul has been fully unleashed.

Soul Masters with ultimate attribute martial souls experience exceptionally slow cultivation speeds between levels 30 and 70. However, once their soul power breaks through the level 70 bottleneck, they will truly soar to new heights and enter a period of rapid growth.

Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er were able to raise their soul power cultivation by one level after sailing in the deep sea for more than a month, and this was also the reason.

At his current cultivation speed, even without any special opportunities, he will definitely reach the level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo within one to two years. At that time, he will be less than twenty years old. In another five years, he may even have the potential to reach the level of a Titled Douluo.

After a long while, Ye Guyi ended the exchange with slightly rapid breathing. The warm touch and the familiar scent emanating from Xu Zihuang confirmed that what she was seeing was not an illusion.

In the five months since Xu Zihuang's disappearance, Ye Guyi has thought a lot. It's undeniable that she possesses an almost pathological possessiveness towards Xu Zihuang, but she also doesn't want to put him in a difficult position. In the past, she had indeed been too domineering, even if this stemmed from their unique childhood experiences.

Now she has decided to change herself and become an asset to Xu Zihuang, instead of doing outrageous things to satisfy her own desires as she has done in the past.

Ye Guyi smiled and stepped to Xu Zihuang's side, taking his arm with her delicate arms.

"It's been more than a decade since I've been back. Zihuang, come with me for a stroll around Huanglong City."

"Okay." Xu Zihuang's face was also beaming with a smile as he nodded gently and took Ye Guyi's hand. Their fingers intertwined, just like those nights more than a decade ago that left behind countless memories.

In their vision, it seemed as if a series of light and shadow appeared.

In the play of light and shadow, a blonde little girl, smiling sweetly, leads a black-haired, purple-eyed little boy frolicking along the street. Several guards follow hurriedly behind them, their faces tense, fearing something might go wrong.

These guards were all powerful Soul Masters, but unfortunately, the identities of the two young masters in front of them were too sensitive.

The past was filled with warmth, and although Huanglong City remains prosperous today, everything has changed. Even the once vast and luxurious Zihuang Royal Palace has been reduced to ashes in the flames.

Unbeknownst to them, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi arrived at the former site of the Zihuang Royal Palace. Towering buildings now stood there, but it was no longer the place it once was.

All signs indicate that Xu Tianran and his son, who plotted to usurp the throne, are doing their utmost to erase the existence of the Zihuang Royal Palace. After all, Xu Zihuang's father once held immense prestige and enjoyed great popularity in the southern part of the Sun Moon Empire. He suppressed Duke Dai Hao of the Star Luo Empire, the White Tiger Duke, for decades, preventing him from setting foot on the Sun Moon Empire's territory and allowing the southern part of the Sun Moon Empire to maintain a considerable period of peace and prosperity.

The scenes of reality and memory overlapped, and everything became illusory. A reflection of the moon in the water, a flower in a mirror, the bustling world, and countless lifetimes of splendor.

Ye Guyi's hands unconsciously tightened their grip slightly, and her delicate body, leaning against Xu Zihuang's chest, trembled slightly.

Noticing Ye Guyi's unusual behavior, Xu Zihuang stepped forward with a gentle smile and tenderly combed the slightly messy strands of hair around her ears and temples.

"Sister Lingyi, let's find a place to rest first. I also want to tell you about my experiences over the past five months."

"Hmm." Ye Guyi raised her head and met Xu Zihuang's gaze. She gradually calmed herself down, and then a subtle smile appeared on her lips.

"Zihuang, who used to only cling to me and act spoiled, has become reliable now. I just wonder if you've become Wang Qiu'er's support this time?"

Xu Zihuang, who was initially deeply moved, froze instantly upon hearing Ye Guyi's next words.

Mmm, it tastes just like I do.

"Let's go." Ye Guyi, as if she had planned this in advance, took the initiative and led Xu Zihuang into a high-end hotel not far away, continuing with a smile.

"There will be plenty of time later. I'll wait for you to tell me slowly."

As she entered the hotel, she deliberately turned back to look at Xu Zihuang and emphasized something meaningfully.

“There are some things I can verify myself, so I don’t want you to hide anything from me, Zihuang. Even if something has really happened, as long as you tell the truth, it’s okay. Just like when we were kids, no matter what you did wrong, I would forgive you.”

Indeed, women do possess innate talents in some areas.

Xu Zihuang couldn't help but mentally complain. What made him even more ashamed was Ye Guyi's unique verification method.

Fortunately, nothing shady had happened between him and Wang Qiu'er, and he wasn't afraid of Ye Guyi verifying it.

The night sky in the south of the Sun and Moon Empire remained clear as always. Only when the silver moon, casting its hazy moonlight, shifted beyond the enormous crystal floor-to-ceiling windows did the commotion in the spacious room on the top floor of the hotel subside.

During his conversation with Ye Guyi, Xu Zihuang recounted everything that had happened since his disappearance in Mingdu until his return to Douluo Continent. He didn't even hide the fact that Wang Qiu'er's true form was the Emperor-level auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

However, Ye Guyi didn't care much about Wang Qiu'er's true identity as the Emperor Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion; instead, she was most concerned about something else.

Light and shadow intertwined. Ye Guyi, bowing low, looked up at Xu Zihuang in front of her, a captivating smile blooming on her beautiful face once again, very satisfied with Xu Zihuang's honesty.

Three days later, at dawn, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi finally left Huanglong City and arrived at a remote mountain in the south of the Sun Moon Empire.

Ye Guyi stood on the edge of the cliff, a chilling aura emanating from her without warning. A strange gray halo rose beneath her feet.

Xu Zihuang was right behind Ye Guyi. Before returning to Shrek Academy, they planned to take care of some things.

At this moment, Ye Guyi's eyes turned a pale gray. Extending her long, slender, white right index finger, she swiftly drew a gray six-pointed star magic circle in the air. Then, the six-pointed star magic circle gracefully landed on the ground.

The next instant, a gray light surged forth, engulfing Ye Guyi and Xu Zihuang's bodies. Their bodies vanished from this desolate land.

Meanwhile, in another world, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi's bodies appeared out of thin air.

With all his senses restored, Xu Zihuang began to observe the world with great interest.

This is a dark world, oppressive like the end of the world. A strange sun hangs in the sky. The sun is entirely black, radiating an eerie purple light.

The purple light wasn't intense, making the world appear quite dim. This was the undead demiplane that Electrolux had passed on to Ye Guyi.

The surrounding terrain was undulating, and as far as the eye could see, it was barren, devoid of any vegetation. The earth was pitch black, as if dyed with ink. A chilling aura emanated from all directions.

Ahead lay a hilly area, beyond which nothing could be seen. This undead demiplane seemed to contain special laws; even Xu Zihuang, who had unleashed his Golden Eye Martial Soul, was unable to perceive anything here.

Behind them was a large door, through which they had just come out.

This was Xu Zihuang's first time entering this undead demiplane. Looking around, he couldn't help but sigh.

"The undead demiplane left behind by Elder Yi is indeed unique."

It is at least more advanced than the Radiant Dragon Space he controls. Of course, this is because the Radiant Dragon Space was casually created when the Radiant Dragon King fell, and it is certainly not as complete as the Undead Demiplane, which has a complete food chain.

"I'll put the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow that we collected here last time at the front," Ye Guyi reminded softly. Compared to three days ago, her complexion was noticeably rosier, and there was an indescribable and captivating charm between her brows.

"Sister Lingyi, there's no need to rush to let Tianmeng absorb the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow. You should fuse this soul bone first."
