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

Standing guard at the entrance of the Nine Treasures Glazed Gate was a tall and voluptuous woman. She had long, dark red hair and bore a resemblance to Ma Xiaotao from back then.

The person who arrived was Wu Feng. Two years ago, after Xu Zihuang and Wang Qiu'er disappeared, she had been in seclusion deep in the back mountains of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to prove that she was qualified to protect Ning Tian.

Now that his soul power has broken through to level 60, he couldn't wait to find Ning Tian.

The disciples guarding the entrance to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School did not dare to say anything to Wu Feng about Ning Tian's recent situation. They only said that Ning Tian had gone to Tian Dou City for a visit and would return to the sect tonight.

This has led to the extremely dramatic situation we see today.

Wu Feng's smile froze instantly, his face turning pale as he looked at Xu Zihuang beside Ning Tian and Ning Qing, who was fast asleep in Ning Tian's arms.

"Ning Tian, ​​you..."

Ning Tian was also surprised to encounter Wu Feng here, but she quickly suppressed her surprise and whispered while holding Ning Qing in her arms.

“This is my daughter with Tianhuang, her name is Yu Ningqing.”

Chapter 504 Xu Xiyan and the Eve of Parting

Wu Feng stood frozen in place, his face ashen, his eyes lifeless.

"daughter……"

All the memories of growing up with Ning Tian involuntarily surfaced in her mind. But upon hearing Ning Tian's words, those past scenes that had deeply moved her shattered instantly.

The faith and hope that sustained Wu Feng were shattered, and she felt a despair she had never experienced before.

Seeing Wu Feng's distraught state, Ning Tian felt a pang of pity, but she knew she had to make Wu Feng face reality and completely sever those thoughts. At the same time, she also had to consider Yu Tianhuang's feelings.

Ning Tian walked past Wu Feng and smiled helplessly at Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi.

"Tianhuang, Sister Guyi, let's go back."

Xu Zihuang nodded calmly. Although he knew Wu Feng's thoughts, Wu Feng and Ning Tian were, after all, of the same sex, so he wasn't particularly averse to them. Therefore, he usually ignored Wu Feng.

As for Ye Guyi, she rarely interfered in such matters. As she passed by Wu Feng, a playful smile lingered on her lips.

Outside the gates of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, only Wu Feng, who was still in shock and heartbroken, and the guards of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School remained.

A cold wind blew, swirling up the withered, yellow leaves on the ground, just like Wu Feng's state of mind at that moment.

Upon returning to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Xu Zihuang and his companions greeted Ning Xingxu and Gu Lao before heading back to their room on the top floor of the central castle.

Ning Tian was carrying Ning Qing and placing her on the soft bed. Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi were sitting on the sofa in the room, talking quietly.

Taking this opportunity, Xu Zihuang told Ye Guyi about his decision to cultivate the Yin-Yang Complementary Second Soul Core.

Ye Guyi frowned slightly. Only those who had personally experienced the condensation of a second soul core knew just how difficult it was to complete this step. However, she had known for a long time that Xu Zihuang had this idea, so she didn't show too much excitement.

Moreover, there was the 100,000-year-old Acacia Heartbreak Red that Wang Qiu'er had picked. Even if Xu Zihuang failed to condense his second soul core, he could still protect himself and recover his energy in a very short time.

After a moment of contemplation, Ye Guyi said in an unyielding tone, "I will go into seclusion with you this time to break through the bottleneck of the Title Douluo realm."

Meeting Ye Guyi's solemn and determined gaze, Xu Zihuang shook his head.

"Don't worry, with my physical strength and mental power, I'm at least 90% confident that I can successfully condense a second soul core that complements Yin and Yang. Once I've completed this, I can use the insights I gain to help you construct a dual soul core that complements Yin and Yang as well."

Although Ye Guyi possessed a profound foundation, successfully constructing a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core still presented numerous difficulties. In terms of talent, she was ultimately inferior to Xu Zihuang by a significant margin.

The method Xu Zihuang suggested is the safest one.

Ye Guyi naturally understood all this. She stared at Xu Zihuang in silence for a moment before finally nodding in agreement.

"So where do you plan to go into seclusion to cultivate?"

“I will be leaving the mainland in the next few days to begin my seclusion. Before I emerge, you will stay by Ning Tian and Ning Qing’s side in my place,” Xu Zihuang replied with a deep gaze.

"If nothing unexpected happens, I will break through to the Title Douluo realm within six months."

Ye Guyi glanced at Xu Zihuang with a meaningless expression; this was a tacit understanding unique to them.

Just then, Ning Tian, ​​who had settled Ning Qing, walked over. Although the room was spacious, she was still a Soul Saint and had heard almost the entire conversation between Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi.

Ning Tian opened her red lips, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"Alright, you two should get some rest." Ye Guyi smiled and stood up, knowingly leaving the space to Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian.

Xu Zihuang took Ning Tian's hand and let him sit on his lap, asking softly.

"what happened?"

Ning Tian nestled quietly in Xu Zihuang's arms, feeling the warmth and familiar scent, his tone wistful.

“Tianhuang, I know I shouldn’t be an obstacle for you. But out of selfishness, I hope you can stay by Ningqing’s side and watch her grow up together.”

Xu Zihuang lowered his head apologetically, moving closer to Ning Tian's face.

"It's my fault for not being a good enough person. Actually, there are many things I've been hiding from you."

“I know. But you’ve done very well.” Ning Tian gently touched Xu Zihuang’s lips and smiled tenderly.

"You are my man, and also Ning Qing's father. That will never change. No matter what you do, Ning Qing and I will wait for you to return at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Also, don't forget to honestly confess all the things you've been hiding from me."

At this point, Ning Tian gave a coquettish hum.

However, Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian had completely different ideas.

"Of course." Xu Zihuang closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calming the turbulent emotions within him. When he opened his eyes again, Ning Tian's beautiful face had become even more captivating.

With just a glance, Xu Zihuang understood Ning Tian's thoughts.

Night deepened. Ning Qing, fast asleep, was disturbed from her sleep.

……

Three days later, at dawn, Xu Zihuang left the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Ning Tian stood on the balcony of the top-floor room of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's central castle, holding Ning Qing in his arms, his eyes dim. Although she appeared carefree about Yu Tianhuang's departure, how could she not feel reluctant to part with him?

Ye Guyi pulled Ning Tian into her arms and gently comforted him.

Ning Qing was still fast asleep, completely unaware of Xu Zihuang's departure.

On the other hand, Xu Zihuang did not go to Shrek Academy as planned, but instead went to the Sun Moon Empire Palace first.

The capital city of Mingdu, where the Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace is located, is situated in the western part of the continent, with a time difference of more than an hour from Tiandou City.

When Xu Zihuang arrived at the Sun Moon Empire's palace using the innate ability of his Golden Eye Martial Soul, it was still early morning.

Deep within the imperial palace of the Sun and Moon Empire, Ju Zi was meditating and cultivating in her own bedroom.

Although her cultivation level was limited by her talent, she never slacked off in her cultivation. A baby boy in swaddling clothes lay quietly asleep in a luxurious and comfortable cradle beside her bed.

Xu Zihuang's figure appeared out of thin air like ripples on water. Even in the darkness, he could clearly see the baby boy's jet-black hair and fair, delicate skin.

The baby is only a few months old, and his facial features have not yet developed, so you can't tell much from his features.

As if sensing something, Ju Zi suddenly opened her eyes. The moment she saw Xu Zihuang's face, the wariness in her eyes disappeared, replaced by tender affection.

“Purple Radiance…”

Xu Zihuang came to the bedside and said in a deep voice, "Ju Zi, I've come to say goodbye. My soul power cultivation has reached the peak of level 89, and I will go into seclusion to break through the bottleneck of the Title Douluo. After I break through to the Title Douluo, I will begin to take revenge on Xu Tianran and take back everything that should have been mine."

Wearing a close-fitting nightgown, Orange got up, leaned against Xu Zihuang's chest, and said softly.

"Zihuang, how long will you need to go into seclusion this time? Given his personality, he will probably start another war within the next year or two."

"That's enough. I'll be out of seclusion in six months at most," Xu Zihuang said with a cold smile.

"How has he been treating Xi Yan lately?"

Xi Yan is the son of Xu Zihuang and Ju Zi, whose full name is Xu Xi Yan.

"Purple Dawn" refers to the purple morning light, representing rising and radiating soft light, implying that one gradually reveals their talents and advantages bestowed by heaven. "Radiant Flame," on the other hand, signifies dazzling brilliance and splendor.

The name Xu Xiyan comes from the phrase "Purple Dawn and Radiant Flame".

A hint of mockery flickered in Ju Zi's beautiful eyes.

"He's still the same as always, still resentful about losing his ability in that area. I know him; he definitely believes from the bottom of his heart that Xi Yan's existence is the greatest mockery of him, and he would never come here. To him, we are just tools to achieve his goals. When Xi Yan grows up a bit, he will probably send me to the front lines to continue leading the Sun Moon Empire's army to invade the original Douluo Continent."

Hearing what Ju Zi said, Xu Zihuang's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and he reminded Ju Zi.

"If he sends you to the front lines before I emerge from seclusion, you must be wary of the Star Luo Empire. Shrek Academy once delivered a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon to them. Although the Douluo Continent cannot manufacture a cannon barrel capable of firing a level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon, they could still pose a threat to you if they detonate it at close range at all costs."

At this point, Xu Zihuang's expression turned somewhat helpless.

"The blueprints for the Level 9 fixed-mount soul guide cannon from Shrek Academy were the ones I brought back from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. I just didn't expect them to actually develop it. However, in such a short time, they should only be able to produce a second Level 9 fixed-mount soul guide cannon at most."

"Two level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons." Orange murmured thoughtfully, then nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I will be more careful."

With the Sun Moon Empire's advanced detection soul-guided devices, they wouldn't even give the Star Luo Empire a chance to approach with their level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons. Without a cannon barrel to fire from, the threat posed by the level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannons is actually extremely limited.

After discussing business, the two remained silent for a long time before looking at Xu Xiyan lying in the cradle.

Orange's delicate body trembled slightly as she softly pleaded with Xu Zihuang, "Zihuang, please stay with Xiyan a little longer."

"Okay." Xu Zihuang sighed softly, and he and Ju Zi squatted down, each taking Xu Xiyan's chubby little hand.

This heartwarming scene seemed to be frozen in time; Xu Zihuang's expression was gentle, while Ju Zi's pretty face was filled with a happy smile.

Soon, they will be able to be together forever, just like they are now.

This is what Orange looks forward to the most.

It wasn't until the first rays of dawn broke through the eastern horizon that Xu Zihuang had no choice but to leave the Sun Moon Empire's palace amidst Ju Zi's reluctant gaze.

Upon arriving at Shrek Academy, he reverted to his usual self, his eyes deep and unfathomable, revealing nothing of his thoughts.

Xu Zihuang landed gracefully on the open ground in front of the Sea God Pavilion, just in time to see a beautiful woman with a gentle temperament walking out of the Sea God Pavilion.

The woman looked to be no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old. A light blue dress accentuated her slender figure, but a faint trace of sorrow lingered between her brows.

"Senior Sister." Xu Zihuang composed herself and greeted the newcomer with a gentle smile.

The woman was none other than Zhang Lexuan, the senior disciple of the inner courtyard. The passage of time had not left any trace on her face; she looked exactly the same as when they first met.

Xu Zihuang felt a little emotional; he had known this senior sister of the inner courtyard for nearly ten years.

Upon seeing Xu Zihuang, Zhang Lexuan was taken aback for a moment, then revealed a captivating smile.

"Tianhuang, it's been a long time."

Although Xu Zihuang had not returned to Shrek Academy for some time, he often heard about Zhang Lexuan from Ye Guyi and Ning Tian.

This senior sister of the inner academy broke through to the Title Douluo realm a year ago, and her status within the academy is rising higher and higher. When Yan Shaozhe steps down, she will be the next dean of the Martial Soul Department of the outer academy at Shrek Academy.
