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

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

He then smiled and gestured to Ning Tian.

"Tian'er, it's been a long time. Given your relationship with Tianhuang, it seems you'll have to change how you address me from now on."

"Uncle Yu—" Ning Tian lowered her head with a slight blush on her pretty face, but her eyes were filled with happiness.

She was naturally delighted to be accepted by Yu Tianhuang's family.

"Please give my regards to your father." Yu Yiran exchanged a few more pleasantries with Ning Tian. As top sects within the Heavenly Soul Empire, and given the historical ties between the three upper sects ten thousand years ago, the Heavenly Dragon Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have always maintained a very close relationship.

On the other side, Xu Zihuang exchanged a glance with Yu Tianlong, who was standing next to Yu Yiran.

Just then, Yu Yiran's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said to Xu Zihuang meaningfully, "Tianhuang, your grandfather is waiting for you. You two should have a good talk."

"Yes," Xu Zihuang replied softly.

Then, led by Yu Yiran, Xu Zihuang stepped into the gates of Tianlong Gate for the first time. He observed every scene and object in the mansion, his eyes somewhat lost in thought. This was the place where his mother was born and raised.

Ning Tian had been groomed from a young age to be the successor to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's next sect leader, so reading people was a fundamental skill for her. Knowing that Yu Tianhuang and his family must have some private things to say, she decided to stay in the reception hall.

Yu Yiran simply had a few maids attend to him before continuing to lead Xu Zihuang and Yu Tianlong to a secluded courtyard deep within the Tianlongmen mansion.

Yu Yiran and Yu Tianlong stopped in front of the courtyard and looked at Xu Zihuang behind them at the same time.

Burying all his emotions deep inside, Xu Zihuang understood and slowly walked inside.

The heavy stone gate of the courtyard seemed to be guided by an invisible force. As soon as Xu Zihuang stepped into it, it suddenly closed, making a low, muffled sound.

Unlike the snow-covered landscape outside, this courtyard was bursting with the vitality of spring. Various exotic flowers bloomed all around, and clear springs flowed from the pavilions and terraces. A towering tree stood majestically in the very center of the courtyard.

As Xu Zihuang walked along the cobblestone path, a sprightly old man gradually came into view. The old man stood with his back to him under a giant tree with lush foliage, his long black hair neatly combed.

At the same time, a deep voice suddenly rang in Xu Zihuang's ear.

"Now, do you consider yourself a citizen of the Heavenly Soul Empire or the Sun Moon Empire?"

Xu Zihuang's gaze sharpened instantly, but he remained silent. For nearly a quarter of an hour, the only sound in this evergreen courtyard was the rustling of leaves in the wind.

His silence was, in fact, his answer.

"Stubborn! Fine! You're a stubborn one too!" Yu Yangyan's emotions suddenly became volatile, and the terrifying soul power pressure made the surrounding space feel like it was shattering layer by layer.

"roll!"

Yu Yangyan's soul power cultivation reached level ninety-seven. Although Xu Zihuang felt a tremendous pressure, his expression remained unchanged. He faced Yu Yangyan's soul power pressure directly, bowed respectfully to him, and then turned to leave.

"Grandpa, please take care of yourself."

Upon hearing Xu Zihuang's words, Yu Yangyan's body trembled slightly as he looked up at the giant tree before him. He vaguely recalled the words his most beloved youngest daughter had spoken before she left twenty years ago.

"Father, please take care of yourself."

Being so close, Yu Yiran and Yu Tianlong, who were outside the courtyard, naturally heard Yu Yangyan's angry shouts, and the father and son couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.

At that moment, Xu Zihuang walked out of the courtyard.

Given the current situation, Yu Yiran knew without a doubt that the communication between Yu Tianhuang and Yu Yangyan was not harmonious. But he knew his father too well; once he made a decision, he would not allow anyone to interfere.

That's how it was when his younger sister and that person left the sect.

Yu Yiran sighed softly and instructed Yu Tianlong beside him, "Go and see Tianhuang off."

"Yes, Father."

Xu Zihuang then bid farewell to Yu Yeran.

Yu Yiran nodded without saying anything, simply watching Xu Zihuang and Yu Tianlong disappear from sight. Then he took a deep breath and walked resolutely into the courtyard.

He was powerless to change anything back then, but now his cultivation level is close to that of a Super Douluo. For the sake of his little sister's only bloodline, there are some things he must fight for.

Even if it would go against his father's decision.

A moment later, the style of the scene changed abruptly.

"Get out!"

With a deafening roar, Yu Yiran was blasted out in a sorry state. The surging blood and qi within his body made him grimace, completely losing any of the composure he had displayed as the leader of a sect.

However, he smiled with relief. Because he was now completely certain of his father's true attitude towards Yu Tianhuang.

On the other side, as Xu Zihuang and Yu Tianlong left side by side, Xu Zihuang took out the two ten-thousand-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex arm soul bones he had obtained on the Star Sea Continent some time ago from the starlight sapphire storage ring that Ning Tian had given him.

These arm spirit bones are high-quality, relatively complete ones, their entire surface a deep, dark black, engraved with strange dragon scale patterns. They possess a violent, volatile power, radiating a menacing aura that is truly terrifying.

The Tyrannosaurus Rex, known as the King of Earth Dragons, possesses a trace of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline and is renowned for its formidable physical strength. At the same cultivation level, it is even capable of contending with a true dragon without being at a disadvantage.

Sensing the aura of the two arm bones, Yu Tianlong froze in place.

"This is……"

"These are two soul bones I obtained by chance during this training, taken from the same Tyrannosaurus Rex with over ten thousand years of cultivation. They are two soul bones with pure strength attributes, and both are arm soul bones, so they should be very suitable for you, cousin," Xu Zihuang said with a smile.

“I can sense that you are missing two soul bones for both arms. Take them; there’s no need to refuse given our relationship.”

As he spoke, Xu Zihuang used his soul power to push the two soul bones in front of Yu Tianlong.

Yu Tianlong subconsciously stretched out his large right hand, letting the two dark soul bones float above his palm.

He was exceptionally gifted from a young age and was groomed to be the successor to the Heavenly Dragon Sect's next sect leader. Through cultivation, he now possesses three high-quality ten-thousand-year-old soul bones. Two of them are inherited soul bones from the sect, and the third was a reward he received when acquiring his sixth soul ring.

However, the quality of these three soul bones is far inferior to the two 10,000-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex arm soul bones before them. The Tyrannosaurus Rex that produced these two soul bones must have had a cultivation level of at least 30,000 years in its previous life.

After a moment's thought, Yu Tianlong put the two soul bones into his storage soul tool and grinned heartily.

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

Then his tone changed again, and he said seriously.

"Although I don't know how my aunt offended my grandfather back then and was expelled from the sect, I can feel his concern for you. In his heart, he must have approved of you."

“I understand all of this,” Xu Zihuang replied with a smile that didn’t fade, showing his nonchalant attitude.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the front of the reception hall.

Xu Zihuang glanced at Yu Tianlong beside him and reminded him, "The mainland may not be peaceful for some time to come. During this period, try to improve your strength and make some preparations so that you can deal with any unexpected situations. Once war really breaks out, it is unlikely that any of us will be able to remain unscathed. Please also pass on what I have said to Grandpa and Uncle."

Upon seeing the two in the reception hall, Ning Tian was surprised and rose from the sandalwood chair with its antique patterns, walking over to Xu Zihuang's side.

Xu Zihuang took Ning Tian's hand and continued to look at Yu Tianlong.

"Let's leave it here."

After saying this, he led Ning Tian out of the main gate of the Tianlongmen mansion, leaving Yu Tianlong frowning thoughtfully.

Only after leaving the Heavenly Dragon Gate did Ning Tian open her red lips and softly ask, "Tianhuang, you?"

"It's nothing, let's go back." Xu Zihuang smiled calmly and shook his head, then added an extra sentence.

"go home."

Upon hearing this, Ning Tianjiao's face immediately blossomed into a captivating smile.

This trip to Dragon City has come to a successful conclusion. Not only did Ning Tian obtain a highly compatible soul ring and soul bone, but Xu Zihuang also gained a general understanding of his maternal grandfather's thoughts.

Using the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's influence in Dragon City, Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian leisurely embarked on their journey back to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School in a carriage.

And this leisurely state continued after they returned to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Perhaps because his mind was more relaxed than ever before, and with his beloved by his side, Xu Zihuang's cultivation could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds. With the assistance of the spiritual attribute soul core between his eyebrows, his soul power cultivation increased by one level in just two months, reaching level seventy-eight.

At this rate of cultivation, it should only take him about six months to reach the level 80 bottleneck.

But as time went by, Xu Zihuang gradually began to worry about Ye Guyi's situation. Reaching the level 80 bottleneck was indeed not easy, and several months of secluded cultivation was quite normal.

However, Ye Guyi's foundation is much deeper than that of ordinary soul masters, and with the assistance of the Primordial Immortal Grass, it shouldn't have taken this long.

However, just as Xu Zihuang was preparing to return to Shrek Academy to find out about Ye Guyi's situation, another unexpected event occurred.

At dawn, Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, ​​who lived on the top floor of the core castle of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, got up and washed as usual.

Ning Tian's fair arms were exposed and wrapped tightly in a quilt. An indescribable feeling of nausea lingered, causing her to frown slightly and remain motionless for a long time.

Xu Zihuang, who was already dressed, stepped forward and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"I'm just feeling a little unwell." Feeling much better, Ning Tian's furrowed brows relaxed, and she smiled sweetly.

Xu Zihuang seemed to have thought of something, and reached his right hand into the silk quilt, touching Ning Tian's lower abdomen. In the next instant, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Ning Tian.

Ning Tian, ​​belatedly realizing what was happening, covered her red lips in disbelief.

"Tianhuang?!"

A moment later, Ning Xingxu and Gu Lao arrived. Accompanying them was a healing-type spirit master with the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo. Due to the special nature of her spirit, this healing-type spirit master, although over fifty years old, looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties, with captivating charm.

The beautiful woman held a magnificent scepter, entirely emerald green. The scepter was slender at the bottom and thick at the top, engraved with mystical inscriptions. As the eight spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—pulsated, a rich emerald green aura enveloped Ning Tian's body.

After a thorough examination, the beautiful woman smiled and said to Ning Xingxu, "Congratulations, Sect Master, Miss is indeed pregnant."

Not only Ning Xingxu, but also Xu Zihuang and Gu Lao, and even Ning Tian himself, had particularly interesting expressions at this moment.

Chapter 451 War Breaks Out

Inside the room, Ning Xingxu remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long breath and nodding to the beautiful woman.

"Okay, you can go now."

"Yes, Sect Master." The beautiful woman bowed respectfully and left the room. Being astute, she naturally understood that it wouldn't be appropriate for an outsider like herself to remain.

Having confirmed her pregnancy, Ning Tian smiled gently, her pretty face radiating maternal glow. She leaned against the headboard, one hand lightly stroking her lower abdomen, while her eyes gazed affectionately at Xu Zihuang beside the bed.

"Tianhuang".

This is the continuation of their bloodline, and an unbreakable bond.

Compared to Ning Tian's naivety, Xu Zihuang's mood was unusually uneasy. It wasn't just the discomfort of changing his identity, but also an indescribable sense of responsibility.

He took a deep breath, sat down by Ning Tian's bedside, and took Ning Tian's other hand.

"I don't know if I will be able to be a good father in the future, but I will try my best to take on this responsibility."

"Yes, I believe you." Ning Tian's smile was full of sweetness.

Ning Xingxu stared blankly at the scene before him, as if a thousand words were welling up in his heart.

With a gratified smile on his face, Gu Lao spoke to Ning Xingxu at the right moment, saying, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Let's give Tianhuang and Tian'er some time alone together first."

After a moment's hesitation, Ning Xingxu nodded. He was actually happy to see these things happen, but as a father, his feelings were inevitably complicated.
