As Xu Yanli looked down at the common people, a continuous stream of faith surged within him.
Xu Yanli could feel that his soul power had already broken through to level 80 when the divine test was completed, and the total amount of soul power was still increasing. However, he was still missing a soul ring, so his soul power level could not be broken through.
He doesn't plan to use the Snow Empress's spirit ring; he wants the Emerald Swan.
However, it should be very difficult, after all, the Emerald Swan's cultivation level is still far from its limit, and although its attitude towards humans is better than that of Bear Lord, it is definitely not someone who is willing to sacrifice itself.
The best way is to exchange benefits, since you can resurrect the other person after you become a god.
So what conditions are good?
Where is Dragon Valley located? How to solve the soul beast problem after becoming a god?
I wonder if these chips are enough...
Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon Empire.
“Your Highness, the Prince of Xiaoyao is being absurd! How can he allow those lowly commoners to study for free?” An old minister knelt in the middle of the palace where Xu Tianran was handling affairs.
Xu Tianran looked up at the other person, then continued working on his things without saying a word, as if the person kneeling below did not exist.
Seeing that Xu Tianran did not react, the old minister continued to kneel on the ground and kowtow, blood already appearing on his forehead.
Xu Tianran only spoke when he saw that he was about to faint: "Why is this school blocking your family's path? Heh, you bunch of old codgers who hold positions of power for hundreds of years have controlled the Sun Moon Empire. Has the Sun Moon Empire become any better? Xiaoyao is right, you are a bunch of cowards. You can let evil soul masters kill civilians at will for your own benefit. Ha."
Xu Tianran stood up and walked step by step to the minister: "Dozens of titled Douluo did not offer any resistance, allowing the evil soul masters to trample on my Sun Moon River and Lake, ultimately making it the stronghold of the evil soul masters."
"Your Highness, you've been wronged..." the old minister cried, tears streaming down his face, looking utterly innocent.
New town.
After finishing his business at the school and arranging for Huo Yuhao to recruit students there, Xu Yanli quickly left.
Long Xiaoyao quickly caught up, and the two of them were now in mid-air.
"Why did you leave?" Long Xiaoyao asked curiously.
"I'm planning a trip to the Star Dou Great Forest," Xu Yanli said with a smile, "to resolve my eighth spirit ring."
"what?"
“Gu Yuena…” Xu Yanli said with a smile, “We need to bring him along to the negotiations.”
After returning from the new city, Xu Yanli didn't go back to the Prince's Mansion at all, but instead went straight to the Imperial Palace.
In the Imperial Study, Xu Tianran was sitting in a wheelchair flipping through folded documents. Hearing footsteps, he looked up, saw that it was him, put down his pen, and leaned back in his chair.
"You're finally back? How did things go in the new town?"
"The school has opened, and the response has been alright." Xu Yanli sat down opposite him, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. "But those old aristocratic families are causing trouble again. I heard they knelt here all day?"
Xu Tianran chuckled lightly, but didn't respond.
Xu Yanli took a sip of tea, put the cup on the table, and said casually, as if he were asking what to eat tomorrow: "Brother, I have to go to the Star Dou Great Forest."
Xu Tianran paused, holding the teacup.
"What are you going there for?"
"Get a spirit ring." Xu Yanli leaned back and crossed his legs. "I've been stuck at level 80 for a long time, it's time to break through."
Xu Tianran stared at him for a few seconds, his brows slowly furrowing into a knot.
"The core area of Star Dou is the territory of soul beasts. Going there alone is simply courting death."
“It’s not just one person.” Xu Yanli grinned. “Elder Long is with him, and so is Gu Yuena.”
"Gu Yuena?" Xu Tianran repeated the name, a hint of inquiry in his eyes. "Is she the silver-haired, purple-eyed girl?"
"Ah."
“We’ve investigated her background, but we can’t find anything. It’s like she just appeared out of thin air.” Xu Tianran put down his teacup, his tone becoming a bit somber. “This girl is not simple.”
Xu Yanli was silent for two seconds, then a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.
"Brother, there are some things that are better left unsaid."
Xu Tianran stared at him for a while longer, then finally sighed.
"Fine, I won't ask." He waved his hand, as if shooing someone away, "Go on, be careful, run if you can't beat them, don't force yourself."
"I understand."
Xu Yanli stood up, walked to the door, suddenly stopped, and looked back at him.
Xu Yanli then smiled, pushed open the door, and left.
After leaving the palace, he did not return to the royal residence, but went straight to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.
It was class time, and the campus was quiet, with only the occasional muffled sounds of soul power colliding coming from the distant martial arts arena.
Xu Yanli didn't go through the main gate. Instead, he turned into a small path, passed through a bamboo grove, and arrived at the innermost courtyard of the academy.
This was a residence he had specially arranged for Gu Yuena; it was a secluded house with its own courtyard, very quiet, and no one would bother her.
In the courtyard, a silver-haired, purple-eyed girl sat at a stone table, engrossed in reading a book.
Sunlight filtered through the bamboo leaves, casting a soft glow on her silver hair. Her purple eyes were lowered, and her eyelashes cast small shadows beneath them.
Xu Yanli stood at the courtyard gate, looking at this scene, and suddenly felt a little reluctant to break the silence.
But Gu Yuena had already sensed his presence. She glanced at him and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"Is something wrong?"
Just like usual.
Xu Yanli walked over and sat down opposite her, getting straight to the point: "I want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest to get a 100,000-year soul ring."
Gu Yuena paused in her flipping through the book, then looked up at him.
"so?"
“That’s why I came to find you.” Xu Yanli looked directly into her eyes and said, word by word, “Your Majesty, Silver Dragon King.”
The air froze instantly.
Gu Yuena's gaze immediately changed, no longer the aloofness of the past, cold as ice shards, with golden light surging deep within her purple eyes.
An extremely terrifying pressure spread out, the temperature in the courtyard dropped sharply, the bamboo leaves rustled, and the pages of the books on the stone table were blown around by the wind.
Chapter 149 The Core of the Star Dou Great Forest
Xu Yanli sat there without moving, just watching her.
Gu Yuena stared at him for a long time before the oppressive aura slowly receded.
"When did you find out?" she asked, her voice still cold, but the murderous intent from before was gone.
“From the day you clung to my leg,” Xu Yanli smiled, “you didn’t hide that cold purple glint in your eyes back then.”
Gu Yuena remained silent for a moment.
"Aren't you afraid of me?"
"What are you afraid of?" Xu Yanli shrugged. "If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it already. There's no need to wait until now."
Gu Yuena didn't speak, her purple eyes fixed on his face as if she were re-evaluating him.
"You want me to help you persuade Brigitte" is a declarative sentence, not a question.
Xu Yanli nodded.
"Why should I?" Gu Yuena leaned back in her chair, crossed her arms, and said in a very indifferent tone, "Bi Ji is a ferocious beast that has lived for more than 500,000 years. She is a big shot in the soul beast race. Why should I make her sacrifice herself for you?"
“Because I can give her a better way to live.” Xu Yanli stopped smiling and looked at her seriously. “Because after I become a god, I can solve the predicament of the soul beast race. Because I know where Dragon Valley is.”
Gu Yuena's pupils suddenly contracted.
"What did you say?"
“Dragon Valley.” Xu Yanli said slowly and deliberately, “The place where the Dragon God fell ten thousand years ago, the place where countless dragons are buried. The dragon bones, dragon souls, and the legacy of the dragon race there are enough to multiply the strength of the soul beast race several times over.”
Gu Yuena stared at him, her purple eyes swirling with conflicting emotions.
How do you know the location of Dragon Valley?
“That’s my business.” Xu Yanli didn’t answer, and continued, “Biji is coming with me not to be my soul ring, but to cooperate. She will be my soul spirit, retaining all her consciousness to continue cultivating. When I become a god, I will reshape her body so that she can live openly in the sunlight.”
He paused, then added, "Also, I can bring the Golden Dragon King back."
Gu Yuena's eyes changed completely.
"The Golden Dragon King is sealed in the realm of gods, what right do you have to..."
“Because I am the inheritor of both the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction,” Xu Yanli interrupted her, his tone calm yet resolute. “Because I am destined to ascend to the realm of gods and bring down that self-righteous sea god.”
Only the sound of the wind could be heard in the courtyard.
Gu Yuena looked at the young man before her, noticing the composure and ambition in his eyes, and suddenly remembered the first time she met him.
At that time, he was only at the Soul King realm, and in her eyes, he was as fragile as an ant.
But now, he's level 80, with the Limit Douluo standing behind him, the dual god inheritance in his hand, and he even dares to call her Silver Dragon King directly.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you right now?" Gu Yuena suddenly asked.
“You wouldn’t.” Xu Yanli smiled. “If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn’t have stopped your attack just now.”
Gu Yuena stared at him for a while, then sighed softly.
“Xu Yanli, you…” She shook her head, not finishing her sentence.
She stood up, her purple eyes falling on his face.
"Walk."
"Where?"
"Star Dou Great Forest." Gu Yuena turned and walked out, her silver hair flashing in the sunlight. "I will personally take you to see Bi Ji. Let me make this clear: whether she agrees or not depends entirely on your own abilities."
Xu Yanli smiled and got up to follow him.
Long Xiaoyao stepped out of the shadows, glanced at Gu Yuena's back, then at Xu Yanli, his eyes behind the mask showing a complex expression, but in the end he said nothing.
The three of them left the south gate of Mingdu, took to the air, and headed straight for the Star Dou Great Forest.
