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

After saying this, Gu Lao glanced sideways at Ning Xingxu beside him. His words were, in effect, a subtle reminder to Ning Xingxu that Yu Tianhuang had already earned his approval.

Seeing that Ning Xingxu remained silent, Ning Tian called out softly with some dissatisfaction.

"Father."

Seeing how much his daughter cared for Yu Tianhuang, Ning Xingxu sighed inwardly with mixed feelings. In fact, from the moment Yu Tianhuang made that promise to Ning Tian, ​​he had dispelled his last remaining doubts.

With his keen eye, he could naturally see the sincerity in Yu Tianhuang's words.

Yu Tianhuang was perfect in every way. He was outstanding in appearance and temperament, exceptionally talented, and powerful, and his feelings for his daughter seemed genuine. Even he couldn't find a single flaw in Yu Tianhuang.

He was somewhat sentimental at the moment.

Chapter 438 The Soul Ring Ratio of Six Red and One Gold

Ning Xingxu did not adopt an unapproachable attitude. His assessment of Xu Zihuang was purely from the perspective of a father.

Any father would probably feel the same way when his daughter falls for someone.

Although he had learned a lot about Yu Tianhuang from Gu Lao and Ning Tian in the past, and even some intelligence agents from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School scattered throughout the continent would report more detailed information to him, this was, after all, his first time meeting Yu Tianhuang.

Just as Ning Tian was about to say something more, Ning Xingxu's slightly numb and weathered face finally showed a smile, and he kindly put his right hand on Xu Zihuang's shoulder.

"Don't be shy, I'm very satisfied with you."

Having led the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School for decades, Ning Xingxu was naturally able to see the sincerity in Yu Tianhuang's promise to Ning Tian. At this point, he dispelled his last remaining concerns.

He was not a stubborn or inflexible person. Yu Tianhuang's excellence was beyond doubt; he was an unprecedented genius in the history of the Soul Master world, extremely responsible, and he and his daughter were in love. He had absolutely no reason to interfere.

"Tianhuang, may I call you that?"

“Of course. You are Ning Tian’s father, so you are also my elder.” Xu Zihuang nodded solemnly. But when Ning Xingxu reached out and touched his shoulder, his pupils couldn’t help but contract.

It's not that Ning Xingxu did anything to him, but rather that through this intimate contact, he discovered some things that were quite meaningful.

Out of politeness and respect, Xu Zihuang would certainly not have rashly used his mental power to sense Ning Xingxu's soul power cultivation level. Moreover, Ning Xingxu seemed to have cultivated a special secret technique, which prevented him from sensing his specific cultivation level at first glance.

Ning Xingxu, the sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, was not restricted by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul, and his soul power cultivation was at least level ninety. In other words, he was a genuine Title Douluo powerhouse.

Xu Zihuang was very certain of his judgment because he could clearly sense the characteristics of the soul core from the soul power within Ning Xingxu's body.

Moreover, Ning Xingxu's soul power not only possesses the characteristic of soul core compression and solidification, but also has two completely different attribute characteristics.

The soul power attributes cultivated by each soul master are related to the attributes of their own martial soul. For example, Xu Zihuang's second martial soul, the Purple Thunder Prison Dragon, endowed his soul power with the attributes of destruction and ultimate lightning.

However, his second martial soul is quite special. Ordinary soul masters usually derive their soul power from their martial soul's primary attribute. But Ning Xingxu's situation only leads to one conclusion: he is a uniquely gifted individual with twin martial souls.

As expected of a top sect with tens of thousands of years of profound heritage.

“Tianhuang, Tian’er is my only daughter. The future of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is destined to be handed over to you. If you are willing, you can also treat the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School as your own home.”

Ning Xingxu, who was looking at Xu Zihuang, seemed to realize something as well. He nodded slightly with his smile still on his face, and then led Xu Zihuang toward the core area of ​​the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"My only request of you is that you never let Tian'er suffer any injustice in the future."

“Uncle Ning, I will.” Xu Zihuang took a deep breath and replied firmly.

After a brief moment of surprise upon hearing his father's words, Ning Tian followed with a beaming smile and took Xu Zihuang's right arm.

Standing on the left, side by side with Xu Zihuang, Ning Xingxu glanced indulgently at the overjoyed Ning Tian and shook his head helplessly.

"Tian'er, are you willing to go back to the castle with Daddy now?"

"Mmm," Ning Tian could only reply, her pretty face slightly flushed. She knew perfectly well that Ning Xingxu had seen through her little schemes. But in the end, the result was good.

Only in front of her father and the people she loves will she show this girlish side of herself.

Gu Lao silently followed behind the three, watching the harmonious and heartwarming scenes unfold before him with a kind and gentle smile.

Within the core area of ​​the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, towering castles stand in rows, their colorful soul-guiding lights radiating dazzling brilliance. A dense ripple of soul power subtly emanates from each location.

Those castles were clearly in the style of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, with the castle in the very center being particularly magnificent. From time to time, squads of Soul Masters using flying Soul Guidance Devices patrolled the surrounding high sky.

"This is a soul-guided defense system that our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has built using various resources. The soul-guided shield you passed through earlier is also part of it." Ning Xingxu casually introduced it to Xu Zihuang, seemingly already regarding Xu Zihuang as his accepted son-in-law, without any attempt to hide it.

"I heard from Tian'er that you, Tianhuang, are also a Soul Master. What do you think of our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's Soul Guidance Defense System?"

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the latest linked soul-guided defense system developed by the Sun Moon Empire." Xu Zihuang's gaze narrowed slightly.

“Five months ago, when I went to the Sun Moon Empire’s palace to assassinate Xu Tianran, I saw a similar linked soul-guided defense system. I have to say, there is still a huge gap between these and the most advanced soul-guided defense system in the Sun Moon Empire. The Sun Moon Empire has already developed a sealed milk bottle technology for storing soul power, and this alone is difficult to surpass. I think Uncle Ning should know about these things.”

Ning Xingxu looked at Xu Zihuang with increasing satisfaction, and sighed softly, "The gap in soul guidance technology is indeed not so easy to bridge. I also had high-level soul guides in the sect research the sealed milk bottle technology, but unfortunately, there has been no breakthrough progress. The Sun Moon Empire is too tight in protecting this sealed milk bottle technology."

Unbeknownst to them, Ning Xingxu had already led everyone to the council hall on the first floor of the central castle of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Along the way, the Soul Master teams patrolling the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School tacitly refrained from rashly approaching and disturbing them.

Unlike the minimalist style of the Sea God Pavilion's council hall, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's council hall was extremely luxurious, almost like a small palace. The hall was predominantly light gold, resplendent and adorned with nine-colored glazed tiles.

Ning Xingxu sat at the head of the hall, while gesturing for Xu Zihuang and Gu Lao to take their seats on the gilded jade chairs at the head of the hall on either side.

Xu Zihuang did not take a seat, but instead stood in the center of the hall, holding Ning Tian's hand.

“Uncle Ning, I actually mastered the sealed baby bottle technology from the Sun Moon Empire a long time ago. I studied at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for two years, and the developer of the sealed baby bottle technology was my mentor at the time, Xuan Ziwen.”

As he spoke, countless awe-inspiring spirit rings suddenly rose from beneath his feet.

Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Gold!

It was a striking combination of six red and one gold spirit rings. When the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm replenished its spiritual essence by absorbing the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice Marrow, Xu Zihuang unlocked the seal on one of the gold rings, raising the age of the first five spirit rings to the 100,000-year level.

Immediately, he waved his right hand. As his blood-red second spirit ring shone, a dark red crystal, engraved with countless patterns and annotations, instantly materialized out of thin air. It was the detailed method for making the sealed milk bottle.

The expressions on Ning Xingxu and Gu Lao's faces froze instantly, their sharp gazes simultaneously focusing on Xu Zihuang. Ning Tian, ​​who had already witnessed Yu Tianhuang create countless miracles, was the calmest of them all.

Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian exchanged a glance, and Xu Zihuang smiled calmly, "Uncle Ning, you just said that you want me to treat the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School as my own home, so please don't refuse the method of making this sealed milk bottle."

Ning Xingxu and Gu Lao exchanged glances. Compared to Ning Xingxu, Gu Lao was more concerned about Xu Zihuang's terrifying soul ring ratio and his extremely oppressive aura.

"Good lad, it seems you've had some good opportunities these past five months. Not only has your spirit ring age increased, but your spirit power cultivation is also not far from level eighty."

Xu Zihuang smiled but remained silent.

After a moment's hesitation, Ning Xingxu readily agreed.

"In that case, I won't refuse."

Chapter 439 Night Talk

With a touch of emotion, Ning Xingxu personally stored the dark red crystal engraved with the instructions for making the sealed milk bottle into his storage soul tool.

Whether it was Yu Tianhuang helping Ning Tian evolve his martial soul into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, or the invaluable sealed milk bottle technology before them, both were immense blessings to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Even if Yu Tianhuang and his daughter have this kind of relationship, it would be unreasonable for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School not to give some kind of return.

Whether in romantic relationships or in general interpersonal interactions, the worst thing is one-sided giving. The most stable relationships are often built on equality and mutual feedback between both parties.

Perhaps Yu Tianhuang and Ning Tian themselves wouldn't care about these things, but as his father, he couldn't ignore them.

However, what troubled Ning Xingxu was that their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School did not seem to have anything of comparable value that Yu Tianhuang needed.

With Shrek Academy as his backer and as the designated successor to the Sea God Pavilion Master, Yu Tianhuang will not lack resources in any aspect.

Thinking of this, Ning Xingxu looked at Xu Zihuang with a somewhat helpless expression.

"Tianhuang, as an elder, it's our first meeting, so I should give you a gift. I never expected you to give me something I can't refuse. How about this, tomorrow I'll have Tian'er take you to the treasury of our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. After that, you can come and go as you please. I believe our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's resources are no less than Shrek Academy's. If you see anything you like in the treasury, don't hesitate to take it."

"After all, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will eventually be handed over to you and Tian'er, and you will also have a part of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Thank you, Uncle Ning." Xu Zihuang naturally understood Ning Xingxu's thoughts and accepted with a gentle smile.

The old man smiled and said, "Tianhuang, we have no objection to you taking Tian'er away. But if your future children inherit the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, Xingxu and I hope that you can let that child inherit the position of sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"Great-Grandpa, what are you saying?!" Hearing the old man mention these things to her face, Ning Tian couldn't help but run away shyly.

However, she did not leave the conference hall, but instead personally made tea for Xu Zihuang, Ning Xingxu, and Gu Lao.

Xu Zihuang chuckled, withdrew his gaze from Ning Tian, ​​and then took his seat to Ning Xingxu's left.

“Uncle Ning, I’m afraid I can’t agree to these things right now. If Ning Tian and I have a child, I will definitely give her the best conditions and make her the most favored person on the continent, but I will also respect her own wishes.”

Both Gu Lao and Ning Xingxu were slightly taken aback, and they both looked at Ning Tian, ​​who was making tea in the distance.

Especially Ning Xingxu, who hadn't done these things for Ning Tian back then. Yu Tianhuang's words resonated deeply with him.

Ning Xingxu sighed inwardly, while Gu Lao cleverly changed the subject.

Under Gu's deliberate guidance, the three then talked mostly about the relationship between Yu Tianhuang and Ning Tian.

The most touching thing is the companionship of spending every day together. Listening to everything the two experienced during their time at Shrek Academy, Ning Xingxu and Gu Lao's smiles gradually deepened.

Just then, Ning Tian, ​​her pretty face slightly flushed, returned carrying a tray. The exquisite tea emitted a delicate fragrance, its steam rising gently and persistently.

Ning Tian first handed a cup to Xu Zihuang, and then it was Gu Lao and Ning Xingxu's turn.

During this time, Gu Lao made a few more teasing remarks, which made Ning Tian blush even more and quickly walked to the warm jade and gold chair next to Xu Zihuang and sat down.

Ning Xingxu took a sip of the hot tea in his nine-colored glass cup, seemingly unconcerned about the matter. He was more concerned about the recent disappearances of Yu Tianhuang and Wang Qiu'er in Mingdu.

"Tianhuang, are you saying that you were sucked into a secret spatial realm?"

"Yes." Xu Zihuang nodded frankly, but the schemes of a certain god-king, as well as the great connections between the Dragon Valley Space and the Radiant Dragon Space, were too much for him to conceal.

"The spatial secret realm that sucked Wang Qiu'er and me into sent us to an unknown sea area that was extremely far away from the Douluo Continent. In that unknown sea area, there was another continent that was only about half the size of our original Douluo Continent."

“Another continent?!” The ancient man raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"I never imagined that besides our original Douluo Continent and the Sun and Moon Continent that collided four thousand years ago, there would be other continents?"

"Grandpa Dragon, it's reasonable for other continents to exist."

Ning Xingxu was also very interested in this continent.

"Before the Sun Moon Continent clashed with our original Douluo Continent, didn't we also not know about the existence of the Sun Moon Continent?"

Ning Tian was more concerned about the dangers Yu Tianhuang might have encountered on that unknown continent over the past five months, her long eyelashes trembling slightly.

"Tianhuang, you didn't encounter any danger on that continent, did you?"

"Don't worry," Xu Zihuang said reassuringly. "The development of that continent is not even comparable to our original Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago. Although there are Soul Masters, there are only six Title Douluo-level experts on the entire continent, and Super Douluo have never appeared."

Xu Zihuang then recounted his experiences on the Star Sea Continent in a fairly complete manner.

This included killing Hua Xiong Yan, the lord of the Dragon Wolf Territory, and going to the Heavenly Fox Territory to inquire about the Dragon Valley Secret Realm. He didn't even hide the fact that he obtained a top-tier torso soul bone.

As for his and Wang Qiu'er's ability to return to the mainland, he attributed it all to the Dragon Valley Space.
