The waters of Poseidon Lake surged, and all the spirit fish and aquatic beasts at the bottom of the lake gathered at the center of the lake, all facing the direction of the golden tree, as if they were paying homage.

The weeping willows on the shore grew wildly, their branches drooping into the lake, their new buds shimmering with starlight. Even the grass on the lake shore had grown to be more than half a person tall, with glistening dewdrops of life adorning the tips of the blades.

When Qian Gu Xing Ci pushed open the wooden door that had been closed for a long time, the golden light outside rushed in like a tide.

The Golden Tree Spirit stood under the corridor, his simple clothes blending seamlessly with the golden leaves. His life force resonated with the entire ancient tree, and even the rustling of the wind through the branches rose and fell with his breath.

When he saw Qian Gu Xing Ci come out, he simply nodded slightly, raised his hand in a gesture of invitation, and led him toward the main hall of the Sea God Pavilion.

As soon as the two arrived at the main hall, they saw several figures soar through the air and land in front of the steps of the Sea God Pavilion.

Those who came were all elders of the Shrek Sea God Pavilion, and the leader was none other than the Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming.

He was clearly alarmed by the strange phenomenon that had just swept through the entire academy. The moment he saw the Golden Tree Spirit, the solemnity on his face immediately turned into respect, and he bowed slightly and asked, "Elder Jin, I wonder what happened when the strange phenomena of heaven and earth occurred just now?"

The Golden Tree Spirit didn't respond to his words, but instead turned to call Qian Gu Xing Ci to its side. Its withered hand gently rested on the boy's shoulder, and its tone was calm, yet carried unparalleled majesty: "Nothing has changed, it's just that I've taken a liking to a junior."

From now on, whenever Xingci comes to the Golden Tree to cultivate and comprehend the Dao, you must not obstruct him in the slightest, nor may you investigate or interfere with him.

Upon hearing this, the elders all looked surprised.

It should be noted that the opportunity to attain enlightenment in the core area of ​​the Golden Tree has always been reserved for inner court disciples, and this opportunity is only available once in a lifetime.

These words were tantamount to granting Qian Gu Xing Ci an unrestricted pass to the core essence of Shrek Academy.

A cold, hoarse female voice immediately rang out from the crowd.

Long Yeyue slowly walked out. "Elder Jin, the opportunity for enlightenment under the Golden Tree is an ironclad rule established by Shrek Academy over the past 20,000 years. Only inner disciples can enter once in their lifetime."

"Qian Gu Xing Ci is not a disciple of our academy, how can such an exception be made?"

Long Yeyue's tone even carried a questioning tone.

Before she could finish speaking, Yun Ming's Sky-Piercing Spear shot out through the air, the shaft striking Long Yeyue precisely on the back of the neck with a sharp whistling sound.

Before this Limit Douluo could even activate his soul power, he was slammed straight into the Sea God Lake below, splashing up a large spray of water.

Yun Ming put away his gun, a hint of helplessness on his face, and bowed to the Golden Tree Spirit: "Elder Jin, Master's wife..."

No need for further explanation.

The Golden Tree Spirit coldly interrupted him, its gaze sweeping across the lake, and it snorted, "From now on, don't let me see her again within the Golden Tree's territory."

As soon as he finished speaking, the old man's figure transformed into specks of golden light and vanished into the sky full of golden leaves, leaving only the echo of his voice reverberating before the Sea God Pavilion.

Yun Ming stood there, a vein throbbing on his forehead. He turned to look at Qian Gu Xing Ci, who looked completely innocent, his face filled with a resentful expression of utter despair.

Even Qian Gu Xing Ci had some doubts.

This isn't right. In this timeline, not only did Elder Jin not lose his essence, but he actually benefited from it. Even if he comes back a few more times in the future, Yun Ming shouldn't have this expression of being completely exploited, right?

Before he could figure it out, two whooshing sounds were already upon him.

Qian Gu Qingfeng and Xia Zheng Leng landed in front of him in a flash. The anxiety in their eyes subsided the moment they saw that he was safe and sound.

Xia Zheng stepped forward and gently touched his cheek with her fingertips. Only after confirming that he was alright did she breathe a sigh of relief. She then grabbed his wrist and said, "Let's go home and talk about it first."

On the way back to the Qian Gu family mansion, Qian Gu Xingci learned from his parents that his seclusion had lasted for more than half a year.

For the past six months or so, the Spirit Pagoda had been in an uproar over his long stay at Shrek Academy without any news from him.

Fearing that Shrek Academy might sabotage them, the Qian Gu family directly targeted the four Limit Douluos within the tower, and even Zhen Hua, the only Divine Craftsman on the continent, personally came to block the entrance of the Sea God Pavilion.

Under pressure, Yun Ming had no choice but to let the Spirit Pagoda's people in to investigate. However, at that time, Qian Gu Xing Ci was at a crucial stage in his cultivation, and the room was immediately sealed off. It was only after the Golden Tree Spirit personally appeared that everyone felt reassured.

After listening, Qian Gu Xing Ci remained silent for a moment, then looked up at Qian Gu Qing Feng: "Dad, call Grandpa and the others over. I have something very important to say."

Qian Gu Qingfeng didn't ask any questions. He immediately took out his soul-guided communicator, dialed a number, and said directly as soon as the call was connected: "Dongfeng, Xingci has come out of seclusion. Call your father. It's urgent. Come quickly."

Without waiting for Qian Gu Dong Feng's reply, he hung up the phone.

At the top of the Spirit Pagoda, Qian Gu Dongfeng held a communicator that was emitting a busy signal, looking speechless.

No, Father is in seclusion!

How is he supposed to shout that?!

But since it was urgent, he didn't dare to delay.

Qian Gu Dongfeng could only sigh and, with a death wish, walked toward the deepest chamber in the tower.

At the entrance to the secret chamber, an indestructible barrier silently swirled. Qian Gu Dong Feng raised his hand and carefully tapped on the barrier.

The next second, Qian Gu Die Ting's somewhat impatient voice came from inside: "Dong Feng, didn't I tell you not to knock on the barrier of my seclusion?"

"My elder brother said that Xingci has emerged from seclusion and has urgent business with you," Qian Gu Dongfeng replied, forcing himself to speak.

The moment these words were spoken, the atmosphere within the barrier changed instantly.

In the blink of an eye, the heavy barrier dissipated, and Qian Gu Die Ting strode out, still carrying the lingering soul power fluctuations from his seclusion. Without even glancing at Qian Gu Dong Feng, he headed straight for the elevator.

After taking two steps, he turned back, glanced at Qian Gu Dongfeng who was still standing there in a daze, and frowned, saying, "What are you still standing there for? Let's go!"

Qian Gu Dong Feng: "..."

So you weren't the one who said we weren't allowed to knock on the barrier, were you?

The face-changing is faster than flipping through a screen!

On the other side, inside the Qian Gu family mansion.

As soon as Qian Gu Xing Ci entered the room, his gaze fell on the leather sofa in the living room.

Right in the center of the sofa, there was a clear human-shaped indentation, the edges of which were worn and frayed.

He then turned to look at Qian Gu Qingfeng, who was being pulled aside by Xia Zheng Leng and whispering something to her. The latter had a visible sincerity on his face.

Case solved!

For the past six months, Xia Zhengleng has been preoccupied with her son's seclusion. Qian Gu Qingfeng, the Limit Douluo, has probably been kicked out of his bedroom quite often and slept on the sofa for almost half a year.

The speed of the Limit Douluo is incredibly fast.

They had barely sat down when footsteps sounded outside the door. Qian Gu Die Ting walked in first, followed by Qian Gu Dong Feng, and the two entered the living room one after the other.

Qian Gu Die Ting's gaze immediately fell on Qian Gu Xing Ci. He looked him up and down, and seeing that his aura was perfect and his soul power was solid, a smile appeared in his eyes. He asked, "Xing Ci, why did you call us over in such a hurry? What happened?"

Qian Gu Xing Ci pondered for a moment, as if considering his words, and slowly said, "Grandpa, the Golden Tree Spirit, Elder Jin, values ​​me highly. This was witnessed by Qingtian Douluo and the others just now."

I had some good fortune in the Golden Tree, and Elder Jin even arranged a protector for me, who is…”

Qian Gu Qingfeng was taken aback and asked in confusion, "This is such a great thing, why are you hesitating?"

“This protector has a special identity.” Qian Gu Xing Ci’s gaze fell on Qian Gu Die Ting, and his tone was solemn. “No matter who appears later, you must remain calm.”

Qian Gu Die Ting's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, I specifically ordered this from him.

Judging from this, he not only knew this person, but he was definitely a figure who could shake the entire Qian Gu family.

The ancient star said no more, and activated that gray mark.

The moment the mark lit up, a pitch-black spatial rift opened out of thin air in the center of the living room, and an aura of utter stillness and annihilation slowly emanated from the rift.

Immediately afterwards, a figure dressed in gray transparent armor and a cloak slowly walked out from the spatial gate.

His armor was crystal clear, engraved with intricate and ancient death patterns, and his cloak fluttered silently in the windless living room, surrounded by a faint aura of death.

His eyes were unfathomable, filled with the cold desolation of someone who had lived with death for many years, like Hades emerging from the abyss.

The moment Qian Gu Die Ting saw the person's face clearly, he jumped up from the sofa, his pupils contracted sharply, and he blurted out, "Harosa!"

Qian Gu Qingfeng tensed up instantly, his soul power surging, his face filled with horror.

Hades Douluo Harosa!

That being who dominated the continent for decades, single-handedly creating the legend of "Gray Terror," a being even Limit Douluo feared!

He wasn't even born when he became famous!

The atmosphere in the living room instantly became tense, and the Limit Douluo aura surrounding Qian Gu Die Ting was ready to be unleashed.

"Grandpa, don't do it!" Qian Gu Xing Ci immediately stood up and blocked the way, shouting, "This is the protector I was talking about, he's one of us!"

Chapter 51 Dividing the Treasure, Even the East Wind Can't Eat Fine Bran (3K) (Please Read Further)

Qian Gu Die Ting abruptly stopped, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Harosa and Qian Gu Xing Ci.

Suddenly, the speculation made by Tianjue Douluo back then flashed through my mind.

Harosa is an aggregate of negative energy in the world. He is an envoy sent down from the Douluo plane to punish humanity for excessive environmental destruction. He is a true chosen one favored by the plane.

This is further illustrated by the Golden Tree Spirit's extraordinary emphasis on the ancient star verses.

What is the Golden Tree Spirit?

The life core of the Douluo Continent, a true god-level existence.

Those who catch his eye cannot be chosen solely based on talent.

In terms of talent, Yun Ming was already recognized as the strongest person on the continent, overwhelming three generations of people at that time, but he never received the slightest favor from the Golden Tree Spirit.

The answer is obvious.

Qian Gu Die Ting's breath hitched slightly, and he slowly uttered four words: "The Chosen One of the Planes".

Harosa remained expressionless, neither confirming nor denying.

Qian Gu Xing Ci smiled but didn't respond to that question. Instead, he stepped forward and stood beside Harosa, saying, "Rather than a protector, this is more like my elder brother."

Upon hearing this, a faint hint of gentleness finally appeared in Harosa's usually cold and desolate eyes.

He raised his hand and placed something on the coffee table in front of him, his voice hoarse and deep: "A gift I brought for you."

It was a palm-sized piece of light blue metal, with a warm and dense texture, and countless gold-thread-like patterns on its surface. The gold and blue colors intertwined and blended together perfectly.

"Gold and water complement each other?!" Qian Gu Dongfeng was the first to exclaim, his eyes wide with astonishment.

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, who doesn't know how precious this thing is?

To forge a spirit alloy that combines nine metals, a special metal must be used as the core link to accommodate and balance the conflicting properties of the other eight metals. The metal and water combination is the only natural treasure in the world that can undertake this task.
