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

After a long silence, Elder Xuan's expression finally returned to calm.

"Guyi, if you're concerned about the situation on Tianhuang's side, you can go to the meditation room first."

"Yes."

Ye Guyi stood up, bowed slightly to the elders, and then left.

Facing the crowd, Elder Xuan sighed softly with satisfaction, "Tianhuang's growth rate has far exceeded my expectations. It seems that it won't be long before he joins the ranks of true top experts. At that time, the position of our Shrek Academy will become even more secure."

“Old Xuan, this time Tianhuang severely injured Ye Xishui, so the two sides are now completely sworn enemies. We still need to make some more plans.” Old Song seemed to have thought of something, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"Are you worried that Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao will retaliate against Tianhuang and the academy?" Elder Xuan shook his head with a chuckle, his eyes full of pride.

"How could the academy's millennia-old heritage be so easily overturned? Let alone Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao and Death God Douluo Ye Xishui, even Beast God Di Tian himself could never dare to invade the academy in the slightest. As long as Tianhuang remains in the academy, no one can do anything to him."

Elder Xuan's tone was filled with unparalleled domineering power. His confidence stemmed not only from the profound foundation of Shrek Academy, but also from Elder Mu, who had merged his soul into the Golden Tree.

Elder Mu did not actually perish; he continued to silently protect the academy and witness Yu Tianhuang's growth.

……

Xu Zihuang's cultivation lasted for three full days. With the support of the life-giving metal and the roots of the golden tree, he had fully recovered the life force he had overdrawn by using his golden-level martial soul for the second awakening.

Compared to Ye Xishui, his situation was undoubtedly much better. Of course, this was because he possessed the Gold of Life, and if it were Du Busi, he would never dare to use the second awakening ability of his Gold-level Body Martial Soul so recklessly.

However, Xu Zihuang's biggest gain this time was that, under the pressure from the two Limit Douluos, Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui, he took this opportunity to successfully break through the bottleneck of level 80.

He only needs to add a soul ring with suitable attributes and age to his Golden Eye Martial Soul to officially advance to the level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo.

Inside the meditation room, Xu Zihuang's body was enveloped in light elements so dense they were almost tangible, and his eyes opened and closed.

Drawn by the flow of energy, Ye Guyi, who had been resting with her eyes closed, slowly opened them. The two exchanged a glance, everything understood without a word.

A moment later, Ye Guyi said in a surprised whisper, "Tianhuang, you've broken through to level 80?"

"Hmm." Xu Zihuang responded with a gentle smile, then the smile faded, and he made a decision.

"I plan to bring Ning Tian back to the academy; this is the safest place."

Although Ye Xishui suffered severe injuries and it would be difficult for her to recover in a short time, and Long Xiaoyao was not the kind of person who would disregard his reputation and act without restraint, he would not gamble with the safety of Ning Tian and his mother.

Ye Guyi took Xu Zihuang's arm and nodded, saying, "That's what I was thinking too. Let's go explain the situation to Elder Xuan first."

"It seems I still need to make some more plans in advance." Xu Zihuang thought to himself as he walked out of the meditation room with Ye Guyi.

To be honest, his actions against Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui this time disrupted his plans a bit. But since things had come to this, there was no need for further regrets.

To ensure Ning Tian's safety, he had no choice but to hand over the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to Elder Xuan ahead of time. He also planned to give Old Man Gu and Poison Immortal a celestial herb from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well as gifts.

If all three of them can successfully break through to the Limit Douluo level, then even if Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao come knocking on their door, they will not be afraid in the slightest.

Moreover, with three Limit Douluo now belonging to the original Douluo Continent, the balance of top-tier combat power between the two sides will naturally make this war more intense. This aligns with his current interests.

Furthermore, his next target for his eighth spirit ring is the mermaid queen, the Sea Princess, who lives in the far north. The Sea Princess is a super ferocious beast with a cultivation level of 600,000 years, and her combat power is comparable to that of a Limit Douluo. With the help of three Limit Douluos—Xuan Lao, Du Busi, and Gu Lao—obtaining this eighth spirit ring will be a piece of cake.

That's how you make the most of your connections and resources. Just send people to gang up on the Sea Princess; there's no need to take those risks.

That day, Xu Zihuang and Elder Xuan had another in-depth conversation. Elder Xuan understood his feelings and did not stop him, only telling him to go and return quickly.

After bidding farewell to Elder Xuan, Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi embarked on their journey back to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As the sun approached the forest at sunset, the two briefly parted ways. To avoid causing Ning Tian too much worry, Ye Guyi decided to return to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School first to inform Xu Zihuang of the situation.

Xu Zihuang, on the other hand, planned to go to Sunset Forest to harvest some rare medicinal herbs. Of course, the most important one was the Acacia Heartbreak Red, which was about to reach the age of 100,000 years.

But what he didn't know was that an uninvited guest had already arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before that.

A thick, seven-colored fog swirled above the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

A woman with long, wavy, light blue hair descended from the sky, stepping on golden flames. Her beautiful eyes were also light blue, with long, curled eyelashes, a straight nose, fair skin, and pink lips, all combining to create an absolutely stunning face.

With long, slender legs and a straight back, the woman's near-perfect body curves are easily visible from the side. The arc between her rounded hips and slender waist is enough to attract the attention of any man.

The woman's expression, however, was cold, exuding an aloofness that kept everyone at arm's length. Her beautiful pinkish-blue eyes seemed lost in thought as she murmured to herself, "Why? Why did the power of fate guide me here?"

At the very center of her forehead, a beam of red light slowly split open to both sides, transforming into an eye. A blood-red eye that looked like an endless night sky, yet was also eerily sinister. When this eye lit up, everything around seemed to lose its color.

As she got closer and saw the dazzling, shimmering light adorning the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, the woman became completely stunned.

"This is……"

Sensing the arrival of outsiders, the plant-type spirit beasts around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well immediately reacted.

A large pink flower swayed slightly, followed by a violent tremor in its purple center. A terrified, incoherent female voice suddenly rang out.

"You are, you are, you are..."

Chapter 471 You Can't Control It

Although both the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Sunset Forest are close to Tiandou City, the former is in the southwest of Tiandou City, while the latter is in the southeast of Tiandou City.

Ye Guyi instructed Xu Zihuang, "Zihuang, there's no need to be polite with those plant-type soul beasts in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. Come back as soon as you've taken those immortal herbs."

With Xu Zihuang's current strength, he can severely injure a Limit Douluo when caught off guard. Ye Guyi is naturally not worried that Xu Zihuang cannot handle those plant-type soul beasts with mediocre combat power.

This is already an absolute difference in level.

"Don't worry, Sister Lingyi," Xu Zihuang replied with a smile.

The two, flying side by side, caught sight of the majestic outline of Tiandou City in the distance. They tacitly turned around and flew in opposite directions.

A pair of incredibly powerful, bony dragon wings unfurled behind him, and Xu Zihuang instantly transformed into a black afterimage, sweeping across the Sunset Forest. This time, he didn't need to consciously circulate his soul power to mobilize the destructive attribute to protect himself when heading to the Sunset Forest. The annihilation power generated by his Zihuang Thunder Prison Dragon Martial Soul was enough to make the dazzling, deadly poisonous mist that enveloped him vanish into nothingness, unable to get even a fraction closer to him.

Only a year has passed since Xu Zihuang's last trip to Sunset Forest. But without a doubt, his overall strength has made a tremendous leap forward.

Aside from the boost to soul power cultivation brought by top-grade soul rings and soul bones, the auxiliary effect of the spirit attribute soul core located between his eyebrows is also undeniable. With the soul core, even if he doesn't cultivate, it will continuously help him increase his soul power.

Of course, it is also related to one's state of mind.

Xu Zihuang's previous challenge to Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui was primarily aimed at using them as stepping stones to his ascent to the top. He needed that indomitable spirit, coupled with the pressure he applied, to maximize his potential.

Soon, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye came into view. Xu Zihuang directly controlled his body, passing through the seven-colored poisonous mist above, and descended into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Meanwhile, the following scene was unfolding inside the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Guided by the power of fate, Wang Qiu'er half-squatted, her long, wavy pink-blue hair partially touching the ground, further accentuating her perfect figure.

Above her slender, jade-like hand floated a flower, resembling a peony, about the size of a palm, swaying in the breeze. This celestial herb, though appearing as a flower, was actually a blade of grass. It had no fragrance or other adornments, not even a single leaf. All it possessed was a faint crimson hue, a color tinged with sorrow.

It was the Acacia Heartbreak Red plant that Xu Zihuang had reserved. More than a year had passed, and its age had reached exactly 100,000 years.

The "Ten Thousand Years of Longing, Heartbreak Red" is a divine herb among immortal herbs.

However, this Acacia Heartbreak Red had already been separated from the Black Stone connected to its roots. A trace of bright red blood spilled from the corner of Wang Qiu'er's mouth, clearly indicating that she had personally plucked the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

"The red of lovesickness breaks the heart..." Wang Qiu'er murmured to herself, her eyes glazed over. Her originally indifferent expression became complicated, a mixture of bitterness and relief.

But then she seemed to realize something. She felt that everything was too coincidental.

Some time ago, she learned about the secrets of the Acacia Heartbreak Red from Brigitte. Not long after, she was guided by the power of fate to this Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, where she saw an Acacia Heartbreak Red that was 100,000 years old.

The plant-type soul beasts in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire had already awakened, but they were all afraid of the Eye of Destiny between Wang Qiu'er's eyebrows and dared not utter a word to disturb her.

"Xiangxiang, Bajiao, say something!" The pink flower of the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Beast's true form shimmered with light, communicating with the other two plant-type soul beasts with 100,000 years of cultivation.

The fragrant and exquisite tea was full of flavor, and she deliberately put on a pitiful act.

"This Acacia Heartbreak Red bonsai was reserved by that person. If she takes it, we're all doomed. Waaaaah..."

Having witnessed the incident with the fiery apricot blossom, the insightful Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Qiluo Tulip had long seen through Youxiang Qiluo Immortal's little scheme. They remained silent, letting Youxiang Qiluo Immortal act as a drama queen.

In truth, they were somewhat helpless. They couldn't afford to offend that human soul master, and they dared not provoke the one before them either.

From the moment Wang Qiu'er demonstrated the power of the Eye of Destiny, they were certain of her identity as an Imperial Beast. Regardless of Wang Qiu'er's actual strength, just the fact that she used the Eye of Destiny to judge them would completely ruin their future.

Seeing that the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Qiluo Tulip ignored her, the Fragrant Qiluo Immortal finally couldn't hold back any longer and weakly said to Wang Qiu'er, "Could you please not take this Acacia Heartbreak Red? A human Soul Master came here before and said he wanted to take a liking to this Acacia Heartbreak Red. If this Acacia Heartbreak Red is gone, he definitely won't let us go. Waaaaaahh ...

The fragrant and exquisite fairy product trembled slightly, like a heartbroken girl, pitiful to behold.

"Since you are an imperial auspicious beast, then we are all your subjects. I don't think you would want to see us die tragically at the hands of that human soul master. He is too powerful; even if we join forces, we are no match for him. If you insist on taking this Acacia Heartbreak Red, then could you help us deal with him?"

Wang Qiu'er glanced sideways at the fragrant and elegant fairy-like product, then slowly stood up. Her long, pinkish-blue hair clung to her delicate body, her eyes cool and clear.

Before Wang Qiu'er could say anything, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin seemed to have been frightened and became incoherent again.

"I, I, I, I, I..."

Wang Qiu'er trembled slightly and looked back.

A tall, black-haired boy stood quietly behind her. His deep purple eyes seemed to hold a thousand stars, easily drawing one's mind in.

The person who arrived was Xu Zihuang, who had parted ways with Ye Guyi and was heading to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well alone.

Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er's gazes met in mid-air, and both remained silent for a long time.

Xu Zihuang's gaze lingered on the Acacia Heartbreak Red above Wang Qiu'er's palm for a moment, then he frowned and asked, "How did you end up here?"

"Why can't I come?" Wang Qiu'er pursed her lips and stared directly at Xu Zihuang.

Hearing Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er's conversation, Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin was so frightened that her soul flew away, and she was at a loss for what to do.

They actually know each other?! Oh no! We're doomed! Waaaaaah, we're definitely going to die this time!

What makes it tremble the most is that the two are clearly entangled in a romantic relationship. To pluck the Heartbreak Red Lotus, one must think of one's beloved, and one's feelings must be genuine and sincere.

Although the Fragrant Fairy Beast had never entered the human world and did not understand human emotions, it could make some judgments based on the expression and eyes of the Emperor Beast when it saw Xu Zihuang.

Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er were both preoccupied with their own thoughts and had no time to pay attention to what Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin was thinking.

Wang Qiu'er subconsciously clutched the Acacia Heartbreak Red in her hand, her eyes flickering slightly.

Xu Zihuang, however, walked step by step to Wang Qiu'er with a solemn expression, and then grabbed the wrist of the hand that was tightly gripping the Acacia Heartbreak Red.

Wang Qiu'er stubbornly tried to resist, but with Xu Zihuang's current physical strength and soul power cultivation, he was no longer someone Wang Qiu'er could contend with.

Seeing the gods fighting, the plant-type soul beasts within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well fell silent, fearing they might be implicated.

The fragrant and exquisite fairy product also breathed a sigh of relief. It tried its best to minimize its presence, hoping that Xu Zihuang would ignore it.

Wang Qiu'er gritted her teeth, but finally yielded and withdrew her strength. A charming blush appeared on her pretty face, whether from overexertion or embarrassment was hard to tell.

"Did you pick this Acacia Heartbreak Red?" Xu Zihuang stared intently at Wang Qiu'er and asked in a deep voice.

It wasn't just because the prerequisite of picking the Acacia Heartbreak Red confirmed some of his suspicions, but more so because he thought that Wang Qiu'er was very likely being schemed against.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well was far too sensitive a place. Wang Qiu'er and Tang Wutong looked alike, and there was a subtle connection between them, so he couldn't help but overthink it. Perhaps that selfless God-King was still after Wang Qiu'er's luck and golden dragon bloodline. This scheme might even implicate him.
