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

Xu Zihuang smiled slightly and took out the head soul bone dropped by Little White, the King of the Demon Soul Great White Shark, after its death from the Radiant Dragon Ring. This head soul bone, which was deep blue in color, reflected a brilliant purple halo and gave people a profound feeling within the undead demiplane.

A rich aura of soul power and spiritual energy emanated from it, dispelling much of the chilling atmosphere of this space.

"This is the soul bone left behind by the Demon Soul Great White Shark King. Although the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan lives in the sea, they also possess some powerful spiritual attribute talent soul skills. This head soul bone should mainly enhance the spiritual level, which is perfect for you, Sister Lingyi. Let's fuse it here."

Ye Guyi accepted the soul bone and nodded slightly with a serious expression.

Given their relationship, there's no need for further explanation. Moreover, with the boost from this top-grade head soul bone, she'll be more confident in completing her plans, thus helping Xu Zihuang.

After pointing out the location of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow to Xu Zihuang and driving away the surrounding undead creatures, Ye Guyi sat down cross-legged on the spot and used her soul power to guide the head soul bone to begin fusing with herself.

The soul of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King is contained within the shark pearl that was stolen by the Demon Emperor. Ye Guyi can fuse with its soul bone without suffering any backlash from the soul's resentment; he only needs to gradually absorb the energy of the soul bone.

However, since this is a soul bone from a ferocious beast with over 300,000 years of cultivation, fusing it will definitely take some time. Just like when Xu Zihuang fused with the soul bone of the Radiant Dragon King's torso.

Once Ye Guyi's breathing stabilized, Xu Zihuang finally located the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. There were forty-five pure white, jade-like strands of Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, varying in size and crisscrossing, radiating a chilling aura that seemed capable of freezing the soul.

"Tianmeng." Xu Zihuang used his mental power to call out to the sleeping Tianmeng Ice Silkworm in his Sea of ​​Spirit. As was customary, when he was intimate with Ye Guyi, he would send the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm back to his Sea of ​​Spirit and shield it from the perception of all souls.

With a flash of light, a handsome young man suddenly appeared beside Xu Zihuang. The young man was slightly shorter than Xu Zihuang, with long white hair and ten dim golden halos swirling around him. His languid face was filled with resentment.

Without a doubt, this handsome young man was the transformed Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm had actually been able to transform into human form for a long time, but like most animal-type soul beasts, it preferred its original form. Therefore, it rarely appeared in this form.

Upon discovering the strange surroundings and the ancient ice marrow before her, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's eyes widened in surprise.

"Zihuang, is this the undead demiplane left behind by that old man?"

"good."

Upon hearing Xu Zihuang's affirmative answer, Tianmeng Bingcan's face fell again.

Is this old man that amazing?

Although he was unwilling to admit it, the level that Electrolux had reached during his lifetime was indeed beyond his reach.

"Alright, hurry up and absorb the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow," Xu Zihuang urged impatiently.

"How long would it take you to absorb all of these ancient ice marrow?"

Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was naturally unconventional; just moments ago she was depressed, but now she's all smiles with smug satisfaction.

"Hehe. When it comes to fighting, I'm not good at it. But when it comes to absorbing and sealing various energies, I dare say that no one on the entire continent can compare to me. Zihuang, don't worry, I once absorbed the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow. Just give me three days. I will seal the absorbed energy into these ten halos around me. Then, you can directly use it to improve the age of your soul rings and your spiritual power."

After saying that, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm made a flamboyant gesture, putting one hand on its hip and placing the other hand on one of the ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow to begin absorbing it.

A surge of white light erupted, and the first dim golden halo around him shone brightly almost visibly.

Xu Zihuang stepped to Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's side, chuckling as he gazed into the distance. This ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing Marrow was enough to fill Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's ten halos with energy. In other words, if he could kill the Evil Eye Tyrant, the Evil Emperor, the Beast God Emperor Tian, ​​and the Demon Emperor in the future, he could use the energy within the halos to upgrade the soul rings of these three top-tier ferocious beasts to the million-year level.

At that time, he may become the first Soul Master on the continent to possess four million-year Soul Rings.

Xu Zihuang stretched out his right hand and placed it on Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's shoulder.

"Tianmeng, if there are any remaining pieces of these ten-thousand-year-old Xuanbing marrow, we can leave one for the Ice Emperor."

Tianmeng Bingcan opened her mouth in emotion, but then seemed to think of something and simply smiled at Xu Zihuang.

"Zihuang, thank you."

Chapter 436 Returning to the Academy and a First Encounter with Life

Just as Tianmeng Bingcan said, he replenished the energy of the ten golden halos around him in less than three days.

He absorbed forty-three of the last forty-five Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrows, leaving two remaining.

After Ye Guyi finished fusing the head soul bone of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xu Zihuang returned to the Douluo plane and retrieved the remaining two Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrows from the Undead Demiplane, then stored them in the Huanglong Space.

Due to the limitations of the dimensional laws, he cannot connect to the Radiant Dragon Space within the Undead Demiplane. This means that both Ye Guyi's Undead Demiplane and his Radiant Dragon Space can only connect to the Douluo Continent.

The process of fusing Ye Guyi with the soul bone took a relatively long time, approximately seven days.

Five months ago, when she assassinated Xu Tianran, Ye Guyi had already gained soul power feedback from killing a considerable number of high-level evil soul masters. In addition, with the cultivation over the past five months and the gradual effect of the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red medicine, her soul power cultivation had reached level seventy-seven before fusing with the soul bone.

With this fusion of the head soul bone of the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, she effortlessly broke through two levels, reaching level 79. She is now only one step away from the level 80 bottleneck.

Moreover, Ye Guyi's spiritual power has also undergone a fundamental sublimation. It has leaped from the initial stage of entering the realm of tangible yet intangible to a level approaching that of tangible and substantial.

Although the Holy Angel Martial Soul also greatly enhances mental power, she is not a pure mental attribute Soul Master and cannot directly enter the tangible and substantial realm like Xu Zihuang. However, the enhancement provided by the Demon Soul Great White Shark King head Soul Bone is already quite considerable.

Furthermore, the two soul bone skills granted to Ye Guyi by the Great White Shark King's head soul bone are both spirit-attribute soul skills, so there will be no attribute conflict. One is a range control-type spirit-attribute soul skill, and the other is a range attack-type spirit-attribute soul skill. The two complement each other perfectly and are both very compatible with the abilities of her Holy Angel Martial Soul.

On the same day that Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi finished doing these things, they headed north and entered the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Unlike the Star Luo Empire, which has natural barriers like the Mingdou Mountains to defend against invasions from the Sun Moon Empire, the border between the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Sun Moon Empire is almost entirely undefended.

In some border cities of the Heavenly Soul Empire, a palpable sense of impending doom could be felt beneath the surface of calm. All signs pointed to war as an impending conflict. The only question was when it would break out.

Xu Zihuang was relieved to find that he now possessed the power to influence the course of the war to a certain extent. He had been patiently waiting for this moment for over a decade.

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi traveled at full speed and returned to Shrek Academy that afternoon.

Shrek Academy, Seagod Island.

As autumn deepens, Poseidon Island, once lush and green, is now dotted with patches of withered yellow. A slightly chilly autumn breeze blows, and the ripples on the water shatter the golden and red reflections of the trees on the surface of Poseidon Lake.

A gigantic, golden eye appeared without warning in the space above the Sea God Pavilion, radiating a dazzling halo that distorted the space within a radius of several thousand meters.

The inner court students and teachers who noticed the strange phenomenon above Seagod Island almost simultaneously looked up at the sky. Naturally, the elders of the Seagod Pavilion were also alerted.

As Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi stepped out side by side from the void where the golden light and shadow resided, a group of figures had already gathered on the open ground in front of the Sea God Pavilion. These were the elders, led by Elder Xuan.

Meeting the eager gazes of Elder Xuan and the others, Xu Zihuang smiled and bowed respectfully.

"Elder Xuan, fellow elders, I'm back."

"Good, good, good!" Elder Xuan nodded excitedly, his white beard trembling slightly. All the words in his heart finally turned into a sigh of relief.

"It's good that you're back."

As long as Yu Tianhuang returns safely, no matter whether the Sun Moon Empire launches a war or what the situation on the continent is like, Shrek Academy's future status will not be shaken.

With the future strongest person on the continent in charge, who wouldn't dare to be wary?

The other elders were also completely relieved, their aged faces beaming with smiles of relief.

"This era ultimately belongs to the young people," Old Song sighed with a kind expression, before continuing.

"Now that Tianhuang has returned, we old folks have nothing to worry about. Everyone, please disperse."

Under Elder Song's guidance, the group of elders tacitly left the space to Xu Zihuang, Ye Guyi, and Elder Xuan.

Ye Guyi stepped forward and said to Elder Xuan, "Elder Xuan, I want to go to the underground world of the Sea God Pavilion to cultivate in seclusion and break through the bottleneck of level 80."

"Gu Yi, I remember five months ago your soul power cultivation was only level 77. How come you've already reached the level 80 bottleneck so quickly?" Xuan Lao, who only noticed Ye Gu Yi's specific soul power cultivation at this moment, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

"Tianhuang gave me a top-grade soul bone upon his return. Let him tell you the details," Ye Guyi replied solemnly, then looked at Xu Zihuang with genuine emotion.

"My cultivation this time will probably take quite a while. You should go to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School later, so that Ning Tian won't worry anymore."

This is the first time Ye Guyi has taken the initiative to push Xu Zihuang to another woman, which shows her level of approval of Ning Tian.

"Don't worry, I will. After discussing some matters with Elder Xuan, I will immediately set off for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect," Xu Zihuang nodded solemnly.

Ye Guyi's improved cultivation was undoubtedly a good thing for Shrek Academy. Elder Xuan naturally wouldn't refuse Ye Guyi's request; with a wave of his right hand, he mobilized the power of the Golden Tree, sending Ye Guyi into the underground world of the Sea God Pavilion.

Although Elder Xuan's cultivation level is not as high as Elder Mu's, and his control over spatial power is limited, he can still achieve spatial teleportation with the help of the Golden Tree.

"Gu Yi, go."

Ye Guyi walked into the first room of the first passage on the right with practiced ease. This was where she had secluded herself for cultivation last time.

The room was only a dozen square meters in size, with countless roots hanging down from the ceiling, almost covering the walls and corners. Moreover, all of these roots were golden yellow, which was the root of the golden tree.

The light element in the room was so concentrated that it was almost liquid, and the aura of light continuously flowed into Ye Guyi's body.

Ye Guyi sat cross-legged on the futon. With a flash of light, she took out a jade box from her Thunder Dragon Ring, inside which was the pure white, jade-like Primordial Immortal Herb.

Her cool gaze fell on the Primordial Immortal Herb in her hand, and her eyes gradually hardened.

“Purple Radiance…”

Ye Guyi's current seclusion isn't just about breaking through the level 80 bottleneck; her main goal is to use the effects of the Primordial Immortal Herb and the Heartbreak Red within her to condense her Soul Core in one fell swoop. Only in this way can she truly become Xu Zihuang's support and ally in the future.

On the other side, Elder Xuan kindly led Xu Zihuang into the hall on the first floor of the Sea God Pavilion.

Elder Xuan sat at the head of the long table, waving with a smile to Xu Zihuang, indicating that he should sit down to his right.

"Tianhuang, please have a seat too."

"Yes, Elder Xuan," Xu Zihuang replied calmly without hesitation.

Elder Xuan looked somewhat sentimental, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"I thought Le Xuan and Xiao Tao were geniuses that our academy hadn't seen in a hundred years, but then I met you and Gu Yi. Gu Yi is only twenty-two years old, but she has already broken through the bottleneck of level eighty before Xiao Tao. There is a reason why Xiao Tao felt the pressure and chose to go out for training."

"Senior Sister Xiao Tao has left the academy again?" Xu Zihuang frowned slightly.

Ma Xiaotao's personality is too prone to causing trouble; she might easily be targeted by those evil spirit masters of the Holy Spirit Cult. Fortunately, she has already resolved the problem of the evil fire within her body, so she shouldn't end up like he remembered from his previous life.

Elder Xuan nodded helplessly and said, "Xiao Tao left the academy while you were in Mingdu participating in the Continental Youth Soul Master Competition. Elder Mu once divined for her before his death that she would face a tribulation in her life. But once she overcomes it, her future will be bright. I suppose the tribulation Elder Mu was referring to is the problem with that evil fire."

At this point, Elder Xuan suddenly changed his tone, his gaze becoming intense.

"Let's put aside that girl Xiao Tao for now. Tianhuang, what exactly is your current soul power level?"

Ever since Yu Tianhuang broke through to the Soul Saint realm, he discovered that even with his level 98 Super Douluo cultivation, he couldn't see through it. Today, he finally found an opportunity to voice his doubts.

"I've been quite lucky; I've had some opportunities in the past five months," Xu Zihuang said with a slight smile and a composed expression.

"I recently broke through to level 77."

Upon hearing Xu Zihuang's words, Elder Xuan's expression froze instantly, and his hands unconsciously tightened, revealing that he was far from calm.

"Level 77?!"

A level 77 Soul Saint at less than eighteen years old is truly astonishing. Even someone as gifted as Elder Mu back then, with all the support of cultivation resources and opportunities, only just touched the bottleneck of level 70 at the age of eighteen.

Most importantly, Yu Tianhuang is a Soul Master with an ultimate attribute Martial Soul. After breaking through to the Soul Saint realm, his Soul Power cultivation will improve by leaps and bounds.

Within ten years, I will definitely be able to attempt to reach the level of Title Douluo.

A Title Douluo possessing a Gold-level Body Martial Soul and an Ultimate Martial Soul must be an incredibly powerful being. Even someone who has just broken through to the Title Douluo realm would likely be able to contend with a Limit Douluo.

Elder Xuan stared intently at Xu Zihuang, his expression solemn as he said in a deep voice, "Tianhuang, Elder Mu gave me instructions before he passed away. He hoped that when you break through to the Title Douluo level, you would succeed him as the Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion. From now on, you will skip Shao Zhe and officially become the sole successor to the next Pavilion Master of the Sea God Pavilion."

"Elder Xuan, I will certainly not let Elder Mu down." Although Xu Zihuang said this, he didn't show much emotion. He had never coveted the position of the Sea God Pavilion Master.
