When the lanterns first come on, the whole city of Shrek is brightly lit.
Especially this Nine Treasure Pavilion, which is as tall as the clouds. It is shimmering with dazzling soul-guiding lights and is full of colors. It is like an enlarged version of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
Standing on the edge of the living room on the top floor, Gu Gu watched from a distance as Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian merged into the wide streets of Schlaiknan City. The kindness in those weather-beaten black eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by endless
Deeply. He murmured softly and sighed.
"Tian'er, great grandfather knows that as a girl and the heir of the sect master, you have been under tremendous pressure since childhood. You spent almost all of your childhood studying and practicing. But those are responsibilities that you cannot escape.
You are the only daughter of the sect master's lineage, and you must shoulder the sect's future."
"Grandpa, I can see that you like this child Yu Tianhuang very much, and I am also very satisfied with this child. But his talent is too amazing, and he will definitely become the strongest person of this era in a few years. I want to take the initiative to get close to him
There are definitely not a few outstanding female soul masters. If you want to keep up with him and stay with him all the time, the pressure you will bear will only be greater than before. But Grandpa, I believe that Tian'er, you will not be worse than those people.
.”
"Don't worry about Grandpa's health. Although the end is not far away at my age, you can at least protect the sect for more than ten years. In the future, you can find an appropriate opportunity to tell him that I know a place to live.
He has a soul beast that is very suitable to become his second martial soul soul ring. At that time, you brought him to the sect to find me and also meet your father. With his current physical strength, he took the medicine I gave him.
After that piece of 100,000-year-old whale glue, by the time you reach level 70 at the latest, you will definitely be able to fuse with the spirit ring of that spirit beast."
"It sounds a little disdainful to say it, but in order to tie him up, my great-great-grandfather can only make him owe a greater favor to our Nine Treasure Glazed Sect."
On the other side, Xu Zihuang and Ning Tian, who were walking towards the south gate of Shlaike, stopped almost at the same time.
Of course Ning Tian heard the ancient voice transmission, and Xu Zihuang learned these things through the keen perception of Tianmeng Iceworm.
But Tianmeng Bingshen only knew what the ancient man said to Ning Tian through long-distance transmission, and did not know the specific content.
"Zihuang, that human being is really powerful, and his cultivation is not far behind that of the Poseidon Pavilion master who taught you." Tianmeng Bingsi's dignified voice sounded in Xu Zihuang's spiritual sea.
Xu Zihuang was not too surprised by this. From the first trial, he had some guesses in his mind.
"But I can feel that the vitality in his body is declining. It seems that the end is not far away. If you use the gold of life to replenish his vitality, you should be able to delay it for a while."
Tianmeng Bingcan said this, he just explained these situations to Xu Zihuang. Because he knew Xu Zihuang's character very well and always liked to make decisions by himself.
"Yeah." Xu Zihuang responded without changing his expression.
He doesn't mind helping Gu to extend his life as Tianmeng Bingshen said, but the premise is that Gu Gu can bring him greater benefits alive than dead. In the next few years, if normal progress is followed and the Sun and Moon Empire launches a war,
The situation on the mainland will undergo earth-shaking changes.
At that time, he also had certain strength.
However, everything is still unknown now, and the position of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is still uncertain.
While communicating with Tianmeng Iceworm, Xu Zihuang was also paying attention to the changes in Ning Tian's expression.
Although Ning Tian knew that the ancient deadline was coming very early, he still couldn't help but his eyes darkened. Then his eyes became firm again, his red lips slightly opened, and he muttered to himself.
"Grandpa, I have never resented my origin. I have always been a member of the sect. Even if I do not have the status of the heir of the sect, I will contribute my strength to the sect. In fact, I should feel lucky.
Because I am from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, and as the sole heir of the sect leader, I am qualified to stand by his side."
Ning Tian raised his head again and saw Xu Zihuang's concerned eyes.
Ning Tian shook his head gently, then took steps to come to Xu Zihuang, and took the initiative to put his arms around Xu Zihuang's waist.
Qiongbi sniffed lightly, and she was intoxicated by the familiar scent of Xu Zihuang's body that was as dry as sunshine and the temperature of his body.
The crisp footsteps seemed to still be echoing in my ears. This space seemed to be disconnected from the surrounding world, leaving only the two people whose bodies were closely connected.
Xu Zihuang just stroked Ning Tian's white-blond hair with a fresh fragrance, comforting her until her mood calmed down again.
Their appearance and temperament are too outstanding among these ordinary people.
When Ning Tian came back to her senses, she realized that her behavior just now attracted the attention of many people around her, and she couldn't help but blush slightly.
No matter how mature her mind is, she is still just a fourteen-year-old girl. She will inevitably feel shy in front of so many people.
"Let's go back to the academy first." Xu Zihuang smiled warmly and led Ning Tian toward the south city gate.
In the distance, standing in front of the amethyst floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor of Jiubao Pavilion, Gu Gu watched the two figures disappear from sight with a pleased expression.
In the following period, Xu Zihuang returned to the seven-day cycle of cultivation mode.
After obtaining the fifth soul ring, it means that he will have enough soul power to support his inscribed more complex six-level core magic circle. Relying on the martial soul instinct of dynamic vision and strong mental power, he is still the same as before,
The success rate in engraving the sixth-level core array is extremely high, and it is almost impossible to make mistakes.
It can be said that his Golden Child Martial Spirit was simply born for soul guidance.
In just half a month, he started trying, and successfully carved an aggregation of five six-level core formations, replacing the original core formations in the short-blade whale.
In other words, this short-bladed whale tooth has become a genuine level six melee soul guide. It is just right to use it with his current cultivation level.
Not long after, Tang Ya also ended her retreat and finally broke through the bottleneck of level 40.
When Tang Ya made a breakthrough, Xu Zihuang was learning how to make soul tools from Fan Yu in the soul guidance department. It was only when Ning Tian came to him that night that he learned about these things from Ning Tian.
There is less than half a month left before the end of the semester, and Tang Ya still needs to take the graduation exam from the outer college, so time is tight. So everyone decided to set off early the next morning to go to the Star Dou Forest to hunt soul beasts and obtain soul rings.
Advanced.
Mu Lao thought that he knew that Gu Gu was secretly following him, so he let Xu Zihuang and Beibei leave with peace of mind.
In the early morning of the next day, Xu Zihuang and Beibei left Poseidon Island together and arrived at the agreed gathering place, outside the east gate of Shrek Academy.
I don't know whether it was out of the excitement of being about to advance or the urgency of facing the graduation examination of the outer college, Tang Ya dragged Ning Tian here early.
The two were holding hands, very intimate.
Compared with a year and a half ago, Tang Ya has grown taller and her figure has become plumper. Wearing a black outfit, she has long black hair tied into a ponytail, looking neat and tidy.
Her beautiful face was dotted with dark and lively eyes. She originally had a somewhat calm temperament due to her age, but when she saw Xu Zihuang and Beibei walking towards her, she lost it instantly.
"Beibei, Tianhuang, this way!" Tang Ya waved to the two of them and muttered a few words with a hint of annoyance.
"Why are you here so late? Ning Tian and I have both been here for a while."
Xu Zihuang responded with a smile.
"You're not thinking about going to the Star Dou Forest to hunt soul beasts tomorrow, and you're so excited that you haven't practiced all night, are you?"
The sky is only slightly bright now, and it is probably still nearly half an hour before the sun rises.
Tang Ya, who was exposed by Xu Zihuang's words, felt that her face was slightly hot, and she immediately denied it.
"How can it be?!"
Then she whispered something into Ning Tian's ear, and while speaking, she deliberately pretended to look vicious and glared at Xu Zihuang.
Tang Ya, who is nearly an adult, seems to be the same innocent and kind-hearted girl she was before, and has never changed.
Ning Tian had long been accustomed to such a close relationship between the four of them, and his eyes met Xu Zihuang's with a smile in his eyes.
Beibei walked up to the two girls and shook her head helplessly.
"Okay, let's set off first. Try to enter the Star Forest before noon today."
As he spoke, he took out a small and thin flying soul guide from the soul guide.
The same was true for Xu Zihuang and the other three. After a simple exchange, the four of them used their flying soul guides to get up and fly towards the direction of the Star Dou Forest.
All joking aside, serious business must not be delayed.
Shrek City is indeed very close to the Star Forest, and with the assistance of flying soul guides, everyone arrived successfully when there was still an hour before noon.
He meditated cross-legged for a moment to restore himself to his best condition, ready to enter the Star Forest.
Beibei stood up and looked sideways at Xu Zihuang.
Xu Zihuang said knowingly: "Senior Brother Bei, you open the way in front, and I will block the rear. Senior Sister Xiaoya, just stay in the middle with Ning Tian and be prepared to support us."
Although Beibei and he were both Soul King-level experts, he was the most suitable person to break the throne, both in terms of strength and abilities.
Beibei nodded calmly, and Ning Tian naturally had no objection.
But Tang Ya had a sudden feeling. When she and Beibei met Yu Tianhuang for the first time in the Star Dou Forest, it was with Yu Tianhuang's help that they obtained their third soul ring.
The four of them then maintained this formation and entered the Star Dou Forest.
With Beibei, the Soul King, leading the way, the four of them quickly penetrated into the Star Dou Forest. What Ning Tian and Tang Ya needed to hunt were soul beasts that were around five thousand years old, so they definitely couldn't try their luck in this outer area.
.
So their initial destination was the mixed zone.
With Yu Tianhuang and Beibei in charge, it is impossible for spirit beasts with cultivation levels below ten thousand years to pose a threat to them.
Traveling in the outer area of the Star Forest, everyone will naturally not feel any pressure.
More than two hours passed, and in the blink of an eye they were about to enter the mixed zone.
When they were in the outer area, they actually encountered a few thousand-year-old soul beasts with suitable attributes. However, they were lacking in years. They were all with cultivation levels of about two thousand years, which was obviously far from everyone's expectations.
