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

Before a majestic palace shrouded in mist, two figures, one in gold and one in silver, stood side by side. Their robes rippled with golden and silver light, as if containing the ultimate truths of heaven and earth.

The two confronted Tang San without any attempt to conceal their identities. Moreover, countless divine senses were observing the situation. The owner of one of these divine senses even commanded Tang San's utmost respect.

Tang San's face immediately turned extremely gloomy, and his deep eyes, which had been pretending to be dignified, were now filled with exasperation.

How could he not know now that he had been outmaneuvered by the God of Time and the God of Space?

He had only intended to take advantage of the fact that the God of Time and the God of Space were preoccupied with the Douluo Plane to plot against Xu Zihuang, but he never expected to be arrested on the spot. Moreover, the God of Time and the God of Space had drawn the attention of countless gods in the God Realm to the situation in the Douluo Plane, witnessing his underhanded actions from beginning to end, thus shattering the selfless image he had painstakingly cultivated.

The primordial divine power he had painstakingly infused into the Heart of the Ocean had completely benefited Xu Zihuang.

"You all deserve to die!" Tang San, now in the God Realm, could no longer maintain the majestic image he had deliberately cultivated. He sneered inwardly with a gloomy expression.

Since his rebirth in Douluo Continent and his attainment of godhood, he has always been the one scheming against others; when has he ever suffered such a loss?

However, he didn't want to confront the God of Destruction directly for the time being, so he refrained from acting. He would remember what happened today and repay this humiliation in the future.

The divine imprint planted in Xu Zihuang's heart of the ocean was erased by the combined efforts of the God of Time and the God of Space, and Tang San's projection in the Douluo plane also dissipated. Xuan Lao, Gu Lao, and Du Busi, however, did not witness a certain God King revealing his true form in such a way.

Xu Zihuang clenched his fists as if sensing something. On the inside of his wrists, a strange rune appeared on each of his hands.

On his left wrist was a rune resembling a silver chain, while on his right wrist was a rune in the shape of a golden spear. These two runes were left to him by the God of Time and the God of Space; when the time was right, he would be able to control the artifacts of these two first-level gods.

The Void Chains and the Spear of Eternity.

The shimmering gold and silver light dimmed, and the two runes quietly merged into Xu Zihuang's body.

The three elders, Xuan Lao, Gu Lao, and Du Busi, who were slow to recover, looked at Xu Zihuang with a change in their gaze once again. Although they had already broken through to the Limit Douluo realm, gods were still unattainable beings for them.

Xu Zihuang, however, received the favor of the gods before them, and in the future, he will almost certainly be able to transcend the shackles of the Douluo plane and achieve the position of a god.

Unlike the burning excitement in Elder Xuan's and Poison Immortal's eyes, Gu Lao's eyes were filled with more relief, once again marveling at Ning Tian's discerning eye.

Having removed Tang San's divine imprint, Xu Zihuang felt an indescribable sense of relief and walked towards Elder Xuan and the other two with a smile. Having absorbed the Sea Princess's spirit ring and the Heart of the Ocean, his spirit power had leaped to level eighty-five. In just one to two years, he would be able to reach the bottleneck of a Title Douluo.

Moreover, because his physical body and mental strength had reached the god level ahead of others, it was far less difficult for him to condense his second soul core than it was for Huo Yuhao in his previous life.

As for the extent of his current combat strength, even Xu Zihuang himself might find it difficult to estimate.

This trip to the far north ice sea can be considered a successful conclusion. The three elders tacitly refrained from asking further questions about what had just happened, and the four of them embarked on their return journey.

……

Shrek City.

The city remained as prosperous as ever, and the wars and conflicts on the mainland seemed unlikely to ever reach this place.

A petite woman, draped in a black cloak, arrived in Shrek City, looking travel-worn. Her medium-length, dark red hair was tied into two ponytails that cascaded over her shoulders, and she was slightly out of breath.

If Xu Zihuang were here, he would definitely recognize the woman as Keke, who had a close relationship with Ju Zi at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. Originally, Keke was planning to join the army with Ju Zi, but Ju Zi, for certain reasons, had Keke return to her hometown.

Even today, the backup plan that Orange left behind has finally come in handy.

During this time, war broke out, and the front lines were unstable. Coco set off from the southern part of the Sun Moon Empire and finally managed to arrive safely in Shrek City.

Standing outside the south gate of Shrek City, Coco hesitated for a moment, looking in the direction of Shrek Academy, but decided to go into the city first.

The matter that Ju Zi had entrusted to her was of great importance, and if possible, she did not want to have contact with anyone other than Yu Tianhuang.

Thinking of Ju Zi's plan, Ke Ke was still shocked, but this was followed by an indescribable excitement. At this moment, she seemed to have regained the charming and lively spirit she had been when she studied at the Sun Moon Empire Soul Master Academy several years ago, and she clenched her pink fists tightly.

"Don't worry, Sister Orange, I will definitely bring that stinky guy back."

Chapter 492 Getting Ready to Start the Cow Race!

Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.

Orange stood quietly by the window, her pale yellow floor-length dress accentuating her noble bearing. A crown studded with various precious gems adorned her fair forehead, and a glimpse of her fair, radiant skin was visible on her chest.

She clasped her hands together, palms facing inward, and placed them against her lower abdomen. Her gaze lingered through the luxuriously decorated crystal window in front of her, looking up at the clear night sky.

Orange had been standing there for a full half hour, maintaining the same posture the entire time. A few water droplets clung to her long eyelashes, like crystals adorning them. Deep within her eyes lay a tenderness she had never shown Xu Tianran before, and an indescribable determination.

"Tianhuang..."

Several days ago, Ju Zi was secretly summoned back to Mingdu by Xu Tianran.

Just as Xu Zihuang remembered in his previous life, Xu Tianran is now eager to resolve the issue of an heir. Everything is now ready, and they are just waiting for Ju Zi's body to reach the optimal time for conception.

But what Xu Tianran didn't know was that Ju Zi also had her own plan. In order for this plan to be implemented smoothly and to keep it from Xu Tianran's eyes and ears, she had started planning several years ago and made thorough preparations.

She could never bear children for anyone other than Yu Tianhuang.

Orange has also completed the handover of her affairs with the military. Currently, the three major Beast King Soul Master Corps—the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps, the Fire Phoenix Soul Master Corps, and the Terror Claw Soul Master Corps—are all on the front lines confronting the Heavenly Soul Empire.

The person temporarily taking over Ju Zi's position is Xu Tianyuan, the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps. In terms of seniority, Xu Tianyuan is Xu Tianran's cousin. But in reality, he is much older than Xu Tianran and holds a pivotal position among the royal family of the Sun Moon Empire; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps.

The Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps is second only to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps in strength. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps is loyal only to the emperors of the Sun Moon Empire throughout history, while the Imperial Dragon Soul Master Corps belongs to the royal family.

However, the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps has always maintained a relatively neutral stance and never interferes in matters of royal succession. This is what has allowed them to remain in existence. They serve only the interests of the royal family. Within the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor Corps, there are many members of the Sun Moon Empire's royal family.

As for the Mingdou Mountains, with their rugged terrain and soul-guided defensive positions, the Sun Moon Empire only dispatched a few soul-guided regiments, apart from the Evil Monarch Soul Guide Corps and the Guardian Hand, to guard them.

At the same time, Xu Zihuang, Xuan Lao, Gu Lao, and Du Busi also returned to the mainland.

Poison Immortal parted ways with the others first and returned to Heavenly Dou City. During the ten days they were away, the situation on the continent remained largely unchanged. The Sun Moon Empire was busy consolidating its gains in the war, while the Heavenly Soul Empire actively constructed defensive lines on the front lines to guard against another invasion from the Sun Moon Empire.

After passing through Heaven Dou City and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and several more hours later, Xu Zihuang and his companions arrived at the vast Lima Plain outside Shrek City. The night sky was beautiful, dotted with countless stars. The bright starlight and the hazy moonlight intertwined, creating a dreamlike scene.

With his spiritual power enveloping the entire Shrek City, Xu Zihuang quickly sensed Ning Tian's location. To his surprise, Ye Guyi was also by Ning Tian's side. During this time, Ye Guyi had just finished her closed-door cultivation. Judging from her aura and soul power fluctuations, Ye Guyi had gained a great deal from this closed-door cultivation, and her soul power cultivation was not far from the Title Douluo realm.

This is quite normal. After all, those twelve blood souls were painstakingly crafted by Ye Xishui over a century, involving the slaughter of millions of civilians. If Ye Guyi hadn't already condensed a soul core, she might have been able to break through the bottleneck of the Title Douluo realm in one fell swoop.

Before withdrawing his spiritual power, Xu Zihuang sensed a familiar aura within Shrek City. A thought immediately struck him.

"Tianhuang, why don't you go and keep Tian'er company?" The old man smiled understandingly at Xu Zihuang.

"I'd like to talk to Xuanzi about other things."

Xu Zihuang said solemnly.

"Given Ning Tian's current condition, it would be best for her to return to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to recuperate. Elder, please take her back later."

The old man and the mysterious old man naturally understood the implication in Xu Zihuang's words.

Elder Xuan asked in surprise, "Tianhuang, what are your plans?"

"I'm going to check on the situation at the front." Xu Zihuang nodded slightly; this was indeed his idea. Keke's sudden arrival in Shrek City must be related to Ju Zi. In any case, he needed to go to the front lines to see Ju Zi.

With the pretense of being the Sea God's successor, Elder Xuan placed almost unconditional trust in Xu Zihuang. His immediate thought was that Yu Tianhuang's actions must have been guided by the Sea God.

Ten thousand years ago, the Sea God Tang San thwarted the Spirit Hall's conspiracy, and Yu Tianhuang, as the Sea God's successor, will inevitably help their original Douluo Continent defeat the Sun Moon Empire.

Master Xuan chuckled with satisfaction.

"In that case, Tianhuang, you can decide for yourself. I believe there are not many people on the continent who can pose a threat to you now."

With god-level mental strength and physical body, he would probably be able to contend with a Limit Douluo in a head-on manner.

Gu Lao also nodded to Xu Zihuang.

"Tianhuang, it's fine to investigate the situation at the front, but you must prioritize your own safety. Even considering Ning Tian and your child, I don't want you to put yourself in danger."

"Rest assured, Gu Gu," Xu Zihuang replied solemnly, a golden halo flashing around him. After bidding farewell to Elder Xuan and Gu Gu, he appeared on the shore of the lake on Poseidon Island. The clear Poseidon Lake reflected the starry sky, and two blonde women were strolling hand in hand along the lakeside.

The two women linked arms affectionately.

The blonde woman on the left was taller. Beneath her long, gold-white dress, two slender, white legs were exposed, the hem of the dress swaying gently. The moment she saw Xu Zihuang, a smile instantly bloomed on her noble and aloof face.

The woman next to her, whose belly was slightly protruding, also looked over with delight.

"Tianhuang! When did you get back?"

The two women were Ning Tian and Ye Guyi.

"I just arrived too."

Xu Zihuang stepped forward with a gentle smile, taking the hands of Ye Guyi and Ning Tian at the same time.

"This trip to the far north ice sea has come to a successful end. Elder Xuan, Elder Gu, and Senior Poison have helped me obtain the Sea Princess's soul ring and soul bone."

Xu Zihuang briefly recounted the events to the two women, omitting only the details about the divine inheritance. He didn't want to put too much pressure on Ye Guyi and Ning Tian.

Unlike Ning Tian, ​​who was delighted by Xu Zihuang's gains, Ye Guyi's pretty face was filled with a captivating smile, but when her gaze fell on Xu Zihuang, there was always a strange meaning behind it.

"So, are you planning to stay at the academy or return to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

"I just spoke with Elder Gu and Elder Xuan. You and Ning Tian will return to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with Elder Gu later. I still have some things to do." Xu Zihuang said without looking at Ye Guyi.

"Tianhuang, then you prepare—" Ning Tian leaned against Xu Zihuang's chest, unable to resist opening her red lips. But she stopped herself from saying that.

The dual changes, both psychological and physiological, made her feel more insecure than ever before.

Ning Tian certainly hoped that Yu Tianhuang could stay by her side forever, but she also knew that it was not appropriate to restrict Yu Tianhuang like this.

"Don't worry, I'll be back after this is all over."

Xu Zihuang comforted Ning Tian and pulled him into his arms, their eyes meeting in mid-air.

Ye Guyi asked calmly, "How long are you going to be gone this time?"

"I'm not sure either," Xu Zihuang replied frankly.

Ye Guyi seemed to understand something and said calmly, "Come back soon. I'll take Ning Tian to the Sea God Pavilion first."

Ning Tian looked up at Ye Guyi in surprise, and when he noticed the smile in Ye Guyi's eyes, he nodded in relief.

"Ah."

"Let's go, we can just go home and wait for him." With a charming smile, Ye Guyi released her Holy Angel Martial Soul, and with Ning Tian, ​​she floated up into the air like an immortal.

Xu Zihuang stood still, the three of them exchanging glances. He knew Ye Guyi had guessed that he was going to see Ju Zi. If it were anything else, he could have simply stated it clearly. As for what Ye Guyi had said to Ning Tian earlier, that remained a mystery.

Not long after, Gu Lao escorted Ye Guyi and Ning Tian away from Shrek Academy. Only after the three figures disappeared from sight did Xu Zihuang turn his gaze away.

From the woods not far behind him, a tall, slender figure slowly emerged. Long, wavy, light blue hair and matching light blue eyes complemented each other, moonlight shimmering through the strands. Her exquisite, flawless face was like a masterpiece of art. Her expression was indifferent, but her eyes held an undisguised joy and sweetness.

In Wang Qiu'er's opinion, Xu Zihuang deliberately sent Ye Guyi and Ning Tian away so that he could meet with her in secret.

However, within Shrek Academy, she never showed anything, silently passing by Xu Zihuang in the opposite direction. From other people's perspectives, it was simply unimaginable that Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er had such a relationship.

Following her usual practice, Wang Qiu'er planned to leave Shrek Academy first, then reunite with Xu Zihuang, and use the power of her Golden Eye Martial Soul True Body to traverse the entire Lima Plain and arrive at the remote mountainous area near the northern part of the Star Luo Empire.

At that moment, she received a spiritual message from Xu Zihuang in her spiritual sea.

"Next time, I really have something important to do this time." Xu Zihuang's expression was somewhat helpless.
