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

The fine texture alone tells you it's the finest silk. A delicate, adorable little creature sleeps peacefully inside.

Perhaps it was because Ning Tian had been using various top-grade rare and precious herbs since she became pregnant, ensuring the little one received ample nutrition during development. Or perhaps it was because Ning Tian had consumed that special immortal herb, Narcissus Jade Bone.

This little one had none of the wrinkles typical of newborns. Far from being unattractive, she was exceptionally adorable. Her skin was extremely fair and supple, and her hair was a strange purplish-gold color, as if she were born blessed by the plane of existence, possessing the finest beauty of heaven and earth.

Xu Zihuang seemed to be touched, his eyes momentarily lost in thought, before he smiled.

"Let's call her Ning Qing, Yu Ning Qing."

Chapter 500 The Movements of the Holy Spirit and the Soul of the 100,000-Year-Old Qiluo Tulip

Northwest of the Sun and Moon Empire, in the Demon Forest.

As the second largest gathering place for wild soul beasts on the continent after the Star Dou Great Forest, this place is home to many powerful beings and is fraught with danger. Furthermore, it is guarded by the Evil Eye Tyrant, the Evil Emperor, ranked second among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

Even the powerful Soul Masters of the Sun Moon Empire, who wanted to acquire Soul Rings and advance their ranks, dared not venture too deep into the Demon Forest, lest they anger the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler.

However, at this moment, in the eastern outer area of ​​the Demon Forest, there were thousands of figures dressed in uniform black cloaks who were busy at work.

These people were extremely conspicuous in the Demon Forest. They were moving a large amount of supplies out and piling them on an open space, whereby someone would store them into a spatial storage soul tool.

After the items on the open ground are collected by the spatial storage soul tool, someone else will continue to pile them up.

This is the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold in the Demon Forest. The thousands of people busily working here represent the Holy Spirit Cult's accumulated strength over the years. Although most of them have relatively weak soul power cultivation, generally between the third and sixth rings, there are also one or two hundred powerful evil soul masters with cultivation levels above the seventh ring Soul Saint realm. These powerful evil soul masters are directing those with weaker cultivation to carry out the transport.

Among the piled-up supplies were various rare metals, countless gold soul coins, all sorts of precious materials, and even the occasional soul bone radiating intense soul power—its value was immeasurable. While it wouldn't be accurate to say they were as wealthy as a nation, they were certainly no less wealthy than Shrek Academy.

These are all things that evil spirit masters usually plunder.

Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling were standing in the center of the crowd. Since their ambush by Xu Zihuang and the Body Sect, both Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling had been seriously injured. Relatively speaking, Feng Ling was in much better condition; after a period of rest, her injuries had largely healed.

However, Zhongli Wu was forced to self-destruct his natal beast spirit, a severe injury that was almost impossible to reverse. To this day, he can only unleash less than 80% of his peak strength.

Watching his men move supplies, Zhongli Wu, shrouded in a black cloak, had a somber expression and a look of surprise and uncertainty in his eyes.

"My mother and Uncle Long were seriously injured by that little thing?!"

Recalling what had happened, he still found it hard to believe. Two Limit Douluos being suppressed by an Eighth Ring Soul Douluo was simply too unbelievable.

But faced with the facts, he had no choice but to have doubts.

Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui were not only severely injured by Yu Tianhuang, but it also took them more than two months to barely stabilize their injuries. Today, without alerting the Evil Eye Tyrant, they secretly returned to the Demon Forest.

Although the Holy Spirit Cult had reached some kind of agreement with the Evil Eye Tyrant, allowing them to establish their headquarters on the outskirts of the Demon Forest, the Evil Eye Tyrant was no benevolent being. If the Holy Spirit Cult didn't have a being of equal standing, he wouldn't hesitate to destroy them, even after the Holy Spirit Cult had offered him substantial tributes over the years.

Soul beasts and soul masters are inherently opposed, making complete trust between them impossible. Moreover, many of the evil soul masters of the Holy Spirit Cult need to cruelly kill soul beasts and extract their souls to enslave them in order to increase their strength.

The Demon Forest is the territory ruled by the Evil Eye Tyrant, its domain. If it weren't for the approaching Eighth Heavenly Tribulation and its unwillingness to risk using its primal power, it wouldn't have even given the Holy Spirit Cult a chance to negotiate back then.

As for Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui's injuries, it's conservatively estimated that it will take two to three years to recover. Therefore, Ye Xishui decisively ordered her men to temporarily move away from the Demon Forest.

Upon noticing the four remaining Title Douluo elders behind him, Zhongli Wu's expression grew even more ferocious. Of the eight direct subordinate elders under his command, four had died at the hands of Yu Tianhuang.

However, with his cultivation level of eight-ring Soul Douluo, this kid has already become a major concern for their Holy Spirit Cult. What would happen if he were to break through to the Title Douluo realm?

……

In the blink of an eye, another month has passed.

Inside the courtyard of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Tian, ​​dressed in a white dress with blue floral patterns, was teasing Yu Ningqing, who had already opened her eyes.

During her postpartum period, Ning Tian recovered very well. Her figure was exactly the same as before, and she looked incredibly youthful from a distance. After all, she and Xu Zihuang were both only nineteen years old.

Yu Ningqing's eyes were the same color as Xu Zihuang's, but a lighter shade, a clear, pale purple. Teasing Ning Tian, ​​she let out a clear, sweet giggle, sucking on her own fair, delicate fingers.

"I'll do it."

Xu Zihuang stepped forward with a smile on his face.

"Hmm." Ning Tian nodded gently, then carefully handed the little guy to Xu Zihuang, and said with a smile.

"Ningqing, can Daddy give you a hug?"

A sense of closeness, akin to blood ties, welled up within Xu Zihuang, who lovingly embraced the little one in his arms and gently rocked him.

When Xiao Ningqing saw Xu Zihuang's face, she laughed even more happily, making squeaking sounds.

A family of three sits in a courtyard where snow-white apricot blossoms are falling, creating an exceptionally heartwarming scene.

Ye Guyi, who had just finished talking with Xu Zihuang, had a hint of envy in her eyes, but she had already accepted Ning Tian and felt genuinely gratified. Moreover, Yu Ningqing was indeed a continuation of Xu Zihuang's bloodline.

"Am I being a bit redundant here?" Ye Guyi interjected, feigning jealousy.

Ning Tian blushed slightly and said, "Sister Gu Yi, nothing like that."

"Alright, try to go and come back as soon as possible." Ye Guyi's pretty face immediately lit up with a smile again as she took the somewhat drowsy Ningqing from Xu Zihuang's arms.

Newborn babies are very sleepy. They spend most of their day sleeping.

Xu Zihuang nodded slightly to Ye Guyi, then took Ning Tian's hand.

Xu Zihuang wanted to take Ning Tian away from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School this time in order to help him obtain a suitable seventh soul ring. With the nourishment of the Narcissus Jade Bone and Muscle, Ning Tian's soul power cultivation had recently broken through the bottleneck of level seventy.

Perhaps it was a mother's instinct, but Ning Tian looked at Xiao Ningqing with some reluctance before saying goodbye to Ye Guyi.

"Sister Gu Yi, I'm entrusting Ning Qing to you."

"Do not worry."

Xu Zihuang then used the innate ability of his Golden Eye Martial Soul to carry Ning Tian across the void, directly from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

The strange two-colored spring water, the precious light, and the various rare and precious materials bearing abundant fruit instantly attracted Ning Tian's attention.

"Tianhuang, is this the treasure land you mentioned?" Ning Tian withdrew his gaze and looked at Xu Zihuang in surprise.

Xu Zihuang nodded calmly.

"I think you've heard of this treasure land, it's called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, and it's located in the center of the Sunset Forest."

"The Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire?!" Ning Tian's surprise deepened, followed by a look of sudden realization.

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School contains some records about the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire, but its exact location is unknown. Legend has it that the Qiluo Tulip consumed by their ancestor Ning Rongrong came from this precious land of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire.

Xu Zihuang stepped forward, his mental energy locking onto a strange, golden tulip within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. The roots and leaves of this golden tulip were like a dense, finely combed vine canopy, and its rich fragrance gave it a magnificent and opulent feel.

Following Xu Zihuang's gaze, Ning Tian couldn't help but murmur softly, his eyes glazed over, "It really is the Qiluo Tulip."

A gentle yet helpless male voice emanated from the main body of the Qiluo Tulip.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't attack us again?"

As Xu Zihuang passed by, the surrounding plant-type soul beasts trembled and lowered their heads. When Qiluo Tulip spoke, they dared not reply, fearing they would become the target of this menacing figure.

Xu Zihuang gazed calmly at the Qiluo Tulip.

“Of course I will not break my promise; I still have that much integrity. I brought my wife here today simply to ask if you would be willing to become her spirit. If you are willing, all will be well; if not, I will not force you. Besides you, we have other suitable targets.”

The other target Xu Zihuang mentioned was the Blue Silver Emperor in the valley south of the Sun Moon Empire.

Hearing Xu Zihuang address him as such, Ning Tian was overwhelmed with emotion, and all his unspoken feelings were transformed into a sweet and happy smile.

Meanwhile, Qiluo Tulip began to scrutinize Ning Tian.

"I see. You took my pollen last time because of her, didn't you? Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master, my attributes are indeed very compatible with her Martial Soul."

After a moment of contemplation, the Qiluo Tulip continued in a deep voice, "If you can transform me into something like the Thunderous Hell Vine, then I am willing to become her soul spirit."

Upon hearing these words from Qiluo Tulip, all the plant-type soul beasts within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well were taken aback, except for the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

Xu Zihuang smiled calmly.

"A wise choice. I believe you will be glad you made this decision in the future."

"Then I'll take your kind words." Qi Luo Tulip suppressed her excitement and replied. Then, specks of golden light condensed into a human form and appeared in front of Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian.

To Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian's surprise, the Qiluo Tulip, which had transformed into human form, actually looked like a blonde woman with a smile on her lips that made people feel close to her.

"You two need not be surprised. My true form, the Qiluo Tulip, is hermaphroditic. Unlike Bajiao and Youyou, I do not have a gender in the objective sense."

Seemingly sensing Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian's thoughts, Qiluo Tulip explained softly, her voice transforming into a gentle female tone.

"Please tell me what to do next?"

"You just need to relax." As she spoke, Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian exchanged a glance, and Ning Tian stepped forward knowingly. Even with her broad perspective and calm demeanor, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes.

The ability to speak human language clearly indicated that the Qiluo Tulip before her was a plant-type soul beast with 100,000 years of cultivation. Having a 100,000-year-old Qiluo Tulip as her seventh soul ring was something she had never imagined.

Without hesitation, Xu Zihuang released a gentle spiritual energy with a realistic texture, enveloping Ning Tian and Qi Luo Tulip.

Bathed in the gentle light of spiritual energy, a faint golden glow began to appear on the body of the Qiluo Tulip. Under the guidance of Xu Zihuang's spiritual energy of the tangible and tangible realm, the spiritual origin, soul imprint, a portion of the purest soul power, and the energy contained in its bloodline talent of the Qiluo Tulip all began to rapidly condense.

Xu Zihuang raised his right hand, and a ball of platinum light shone forth, filled with an aura of light. A golden six-pointed star magic circle also appeared beneath Ning Tian and Qi Luo Tulip, and they merged imperceptibly amidst the chanting of the Equal Contract spell.

In an instant, the true form of the Qiluo Tulip withered, and all its primordial power transformed into golden light and merged into Ning Tian's brow. A crystal-clear, pale golden torso soul bone quietly adhered to Ning Tian's body.

A 100,000-year-old soul beast will inevitably produce a soul bone, even if it is a plant-type soul beast.

The perfect match in attributes, coupled with the fact that Qiluo Tulip voluntarily became Ning Tian's soul spirit, made the fusion process exceptionally smooth.

Upon sensing the state of its own spiritual origin, the Qiluo Tulip knew that Xu Zihuang had not lied to it.

During the fusion of the Qiluo Tulip's torso and soul bone with Ning Tian, ​​the right arm bone of the 40,000-year-old Golden Sun Flower that Ning Tian had previously fused with began to resonate with it, radiating brilliant golden light.

"Hmm? It's actually a soul bone produced by a plant-type soul beast like the Golden Sunflower." The slightly weak voice of the Qiluo Tulip rang out again.

“This Golden Sunflower actually comes from the same source as me. My original body can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and the radiance of the sun and moon. This Golden Sunflower inherited my ability to absorb the brilliance of the sun. I can help you modify this right arm soul bone.”

Since it had made the decision to follow Ning Tian, ​​it might as well do him a favor.

The Qiluo Tulip wasn't drawn to Ning Tian's talent, but purely to Xu Zihuang. How could a human who could win the love of an emperor-level auspicious beast be an ordinary person? Moreover, it had witnessed Xu Zihuang's terrifying talent firsthand.

If there is anyone in the world most likely to reach that level, it is none other than Xu Zihuang.

Making such a decision is undoubtedly a huge gamble, but if it pays off, the rewards will be enormous.

"Xiangxiang has gone mad. She really wants to give up everything and go with these two humans," Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin couldn't help but mutter to herself.

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass also activated its full senses, sensing the changes in the Qiluo Tulip, and secretly made a decision.

About two hours later, the torso and soul bone left by Qiluo Tulip completely merged with Ning Tian, ​​and the first six soul rings around Ning Tian also trembled slightly.

Immediately following, on top of the six spirit rings (two yellow, two purple, and two black), a blood-red spirit ring appeared, settling at the seventh position.

Holding the magnificent Nine-Jeweled Glass Pagoda in her hands, and after merging with the Qiluo Tulip, her elegant and noble temperament became even more refined.

Ning Tian slowly opened his eyes, met Xu Zihuang's gaze, and smiled at each other.
