Above the azure sky, two figures shuttled between the clouds, and Jianmu Douluo spoke:
"Xiaobai, your soul power has reached level 89. You can go back and prepare to condense your second soul core."
Ling Bai fought without reservation against the two Wolf Kings. Jianmu Douluo could easily feel the solid soul power that would appear after condensing the first soul core. Before breaking through to the Titled Douluo, Ling Bai had to condense the second soul core, otherwise his soul power would always stagnate at level eighty-nine.
Ling Bai nodded slightly. His real combat power was now comparable to that of a Titled Douluo or even a Super Douluo, but achieving a Titled Douluo was still of great significance. The yin and yang complementary dual soul cores would allow the soul master to break through to the Limit Douluo level without any obstacles, and his combat power would be further improved.
The master and disciple returned to the Jiubao Liuli Sect. The speed of the Extreme Douluo and the Six-Winged Angel was so fast that they could leave early and return late across the empire in order to catch up with dinner.
"What are you doing…"
The moment he stepped into the dining area, Ling Bai couldn't help but frown. He had finally dug up the genius from Shrek Academy, but after not seeing him for a long time, he found that all of them looked bruised, with crooked mouths and squinting eyes.
Ji Juechen was almost like a panda. He looked so miserable but he was still exchanging sword-fighting experiences with Chen Zifeng beside him. The other geniuses were also injured, but the most miserable one was Wu Feng. Half of his face was swollen, and the force was obviously the work of Ling Qiuxi.
Facing Ling Bai's inquiring eyes, Wu Feng blushed and muttered,
"We make friends through martial arts... make friends through martial arts... hiss~ This golden dragon is really powerful!"
As he was talking, his wound was pulled and Wu Feng almost fell off the chair in pain.
"Your Dragon Flame isn't bad either."
Ling Qiuxi gently lifted her long hair that was burnt black by the fire dragon, patted the seat next to her, and motioned Ling Bai to sit down.
Everyone sat around and toasted each other. Every time Wu Feng opened his mouth, it was a torture. But Wu Feng was such a great man, how could he be stumped by such a small matter?
She took out a thin tube, inserted it into the wine glass, and held the tube with the unswollen half of the mouth. Whenever someone said cheers, Wu Feng took a deep breath, and with a "sizzle", the glass of wine went down her throat.
Convenient and fast!
Wu Feng certainly didn't care about the strange looks from people around him. After getting drunk, he stood up and drank from a tube while shouting that he would give everyone a fire-breathing show.
Ling Bai and Ning Tian had horrible expressions on their faces. They all turned away. I don't know her. Who is she…
After dinner, Ling Bai handed the unconscious Yaoguang Silver Wolf and Chiyan Dragon to Ning Tian Wufeng, and the Purple Spirit Wolf was handed over to Lin Jiaran by Jianmu Douluo.
The master's bedroom.
Ning Fengya sat elegantly on the sofa. Under the soft light, her long platinum hair cascaded behind her like a waterfall, and she held an ancient book in her jade-white hands.
Ning Fengyu had been doing housework for a day and was lazily resting her head on her sister's thighs. Her skin was as delicate and smooth as snow. She was wearing a purple silk nightgown dotted with lace patterns. Her pair of flawless white long legs were swinging alternately across each other.
As the two sisters were enjoying their peace, there was a knock on the bedroom door and Ling Bai's clear voice was heard from outside.
"Auntie Ya."
"Enter."
Ning Fengya closed the ancient book. Ning Fengyu was too lazy to get up. She turned around on the spot so that she was facing Ling Bai. She smiled and waved:
"Hi, Xiaobai!"
"Good evening, Aunt Yu..."
A scene in the room came into view, and Ling Baixu greeted him with a smile. Sometimes he was quite envious of Ning Fengyu, who was relying on her parents for support and her younger siblings for support, and always hugged her sister's thighs.
Her martial arts talent is strong enough that she can reach heights that ordinary people can only dream of without much effort in cultivation, and she lives a carefree and comfortable life.
Ning Fengya stretched out lazily, looked at Ling Bai and smiled faintly: "What's the matter?"
"Aunt Ya, the Soul Master Competition is about to begin. This time, the competition has been reformed to allow sects to participate. I want to bring Xiaotian and the others to Mingdu to participate in the competition, using the name of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect." Ling Bai said frankly.
Ning Fengya narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly. She had represented Shrek Academy in two competitions and was not unfamiliar with this.
Moreover, after the competition organizing committee approved the new competition system, it sent people to invite all major sects to participate. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect had been passed down for thousands of years and was in its heyday, so it naturally attracted the attention of the competition organizing committee, and they sent someone to invite them.
After a moment's silence, Ning Fengya slowly said: "The Soul Master Competition is held every five years. It is the most eye-catching Soul Master Festival in Douluo Continent. For most Soul Masters, there are only one or two such opportunities in their lifetime. It would be a pity to miss it.
The team you lead will definitely win the championship of this competition, but the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect does not want to be too famous, so your team should establish a sect and give it a name. "
"Okay...Good night, Aunt Ya and Aunt Yu."
A hint of doubt flashed in Ling Bai's eyes, and he turned and left Ning Fengya's room.
Ning Fengyu played with a strand of her sister's white-gold hair and said meaningfully,
"Sister, this is not like your style. I thought you would take this opportunity to spread the reputation of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and attract more talents to join."
"A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. The stronger you are, the lower your profile should be."
Ning Fengya slapped away her sister's disruptive hand, and there was not a single flaw on her elegant and beautiful face.
"But why do I feel that you want to take this opportunity to let Xiaobai go out on his own?"
As soon as these words came out, the bedroom fell silent for a moment. Ning Fengya suddenly lowered her head and met Ning Fengyu's smiling blue-gold eyes. She said faintly,
"It seems that my sister underestimated you, Xiaoyu."
Ning Fengyu stood up, hugged Ning Fengya's shoulders and shook her: "What do you mean by underestimate or not underestimate? We are sisters, and I am your personal maid. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west!"
Ning Fengya smiled without commenting. Ning Fengyu asked, "Sister, tell me, what are you worried about?"
Ning Fengya sighed softly, with a complicated expression on her face: "I have something on my mind. The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect is a sect that is maintained by blood. The position of the Sect Master must belong to the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda or the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Soul Master.
Xiaotian will definitely take over my position in the future, so who will come after Xiaotian?"
"Xiaobai and Xiaotian's child!" Ning Fengyu answered quickly.
"That's where the problem lies." Ning Fengya sighed, "The six-winged angel is famous for being passed down from generation to generation. The Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda is not as good as the six-winged angel. Otherwise, Ning Rongrong's ancestor stayed in Douluo Continent for so many years before becoming a god, and he would have passed down the bloodline for the sect long ago."
"Sister, is it possible that Sausage Douluo is not good enough?"
Ning Fengyu's words were shocking. Even a well-mannered clan leader like Ning Fengya was choked for two seconds and said coldly:
"…There's no one else here now, so don't force me to slap you."
Ning Fengyu quickly made a zipper motion at her mouth, sat down obediently and listened attentively.
"To be honest, even if the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower is upgraded to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower, it is still not as good as Xiaobai's six-winged angel. Let's prepare for the worst case scenario." Ning Fengya's eyes flashed.
"If Xiaotian and Xiaobai only have one child, and the child's awakened martial spirit is a six-winged angel, then who should inherit the next generation of sect leader after Xiaotian?"
"Well... logically we should pick a good one from the sect's direct disciples." Ning Fengyu hesitated. She vaguely knew why her sister was worried.
"Then the second question is, how can a Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda that is not directly from the sect master suppress a six-winged angel, especially a six-winged angel that has half of the sect's blood in its body?"
Ning Fengyu was silent, and Ning Fengya continued: "Since ancient times, guests have never oppressed the host. Xiaobai is the child I raised by myself. He can't do those things, but the descendants of the six-winged angel may not be able to do so.
If their child's martial soul is a six-winged angel, then the child can only become a worshiper of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, and the sect master will belong to someone else.
You can't fail to see that the most talented Shrek inner court disciples of the younger generation in the sect all listen to Xiaobai. When they become Titled Douluo in the future, they will definitely follow Xiaobai's direct bloodline.
Is there a possibility that the little angel is not satisfied with being a worshiper and one day initiates a change within the sect? There may not even be many people inside the sect willing to resist, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect will have to be renamed the Six-Winged Angel Sect.
If they do it more skillfully, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower lineage is likely to become a vassal of the six-winged angel."
What it all comes down to is that the six-winged angel's god-level martial soul is too strong, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, as an auxiliary martial soul, is inherently insufficient. The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda soul master can use soul guides, and the six-winged angel can also use soul guides. If everyone has it, it means no one has it. In the end, after going around in circles, it all returns to the competition of the origin of the martial soul.
Ning Fengya tapped the ancient book with her fingers, making a rhythmic and crisp sound: "Instead of watching the future full of uncertainties, it is better to completely resolve the internal and external troubles, and let Xiaobai and the Shrek geniuses who are loyal to him become independent.
We in the Jiubao Liuli Sect took the Zhu family, the Netherworld Spirit Cat family of the Xingluo Empire, as a reference and formed a hereditary marriage with Xiaobai's direct bloodline.
The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect does not need external relatives to interfere in politics, but the external relatives must be from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"
"That's one way..."
Ning Fengyu nodded in agreement. All the geniuses in Shrek's outer courtyard were recruited by Ning Tian and belonged to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. The geniuses in the inner courtyard were attracted to Ling Bai and would probably follow him.
Ling Bai formed his own faction and took away the former Shrek inner court disciples. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect suffered almost no loss of high-end talents.
With Ling Bai's strength, plus the six-winged angel's natural sacred appeal, the scale of his influence cannot be small.
She understood Ning Fengya's plan. If Ling Bai and Ning Tian's child awakened the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, then the child would inherit the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect. The children of Ling Bai and other women would inherit Ling Bai's legacy and marry the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda spirit master.
If Ling Bai and Ning Tian's child did not awaken the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, then the direct inheritor of Ling Bai's legacy would be to marry a direct descendant soul master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, and the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda's leader would be inherited by that direct descendant soul master.
In this way, the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect can ensure complete independence without being threatened by the potential six-winged angel lineage, and it is a blessing for both parties to conclude a generational marriage. The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect is rich enough to rival a country, and its auxiliary ability is the best in the world. With the relationship between Ling Bai and Ning Tian as its foundation, the two are natural close and reliable allies.
Ning Fengyu yawned: "Being a sect leader is really troublesome. You have to consider everything carefully. It's better to be a useless person who just eats and waits for death."
"You're just waiting to die, are you dreaming?"
Ning Fengya sneered and inserted her fingers into Ning Fengyu's long blue-gold hair: "Xiaoyu, I saw that you were resisting getting married before, so I didn't urge you, but don't forget that your mother's Sky Blue Vine Emperor is also a unique martial spirit like the Blue Silver Emperor. When will you pass it on?"
"Sister, let me go!!!"
late at night.
Ning Tian lay face down on the large, soft bed. The mattress pressed out a beautiful sunken arc. Her pink and tender skin seemed to be able to squeeze out water, and her fair and soft belly gradually expanded like a water-filled balloon.
She rested for a long time before she recovered, and a unique and charming blush appeared on her face, which could not be concealed no matter what.
Ling Bai hugged the tired Ning Tian and teased the two little pets in his hands.
"Xiaotian, we are going to participate in the Soul Master Competition under the name of our new sect."
"Well, what should we name it? How about Spirit Hall?"
"This is not good." Ling Bai smiled bitterly, "The Spirit Hall has received mixed reviews."
"Then change one."
Ning Tian didn't care about it. It was just a name. It would be fine to call it Makkabaka Sect.
Ling Bai actually didn't have any inspiration, so Ning Tian helped him think of a name.
"Angel Temple, how about it?"
"Very good."
"Well~ I've had a good rest. Brother Bai, come again and I must get pregnant."
Ning Tian was eager to have a baby. Douluo Continent was an ancient country, and it was a standard leniency culture.
She knew that she would be Ling Bai's wife, but even so she very much wanted to give birth to a legitimate eldest son so that the child would receive more love and preferential treatment from his father.
The next morning, Ling Bai walked out of Ning Tian's room and met Lin Jiaran who had just absorbed the ninth soul ring.
"Teacher Lin, congratulations on breaking through to the Titled Douluo."
"Thanks."
Lin Jiaran showed a smile on her face. Being named Douluo meant that she officially became a ninth-level soul master. In the three empires that originally belonged to the Douluo Continent, she was the only ninth-level soul master.
Her martial soul is the fearful dragon, so she is given the title Demon Dragon, Demon Dragon Douluo Lin Jiaran.
This is the treatment she deserves. The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is not a small workshop like the Tang Sect. It has a large number of soul mentors at level seven and below.
With her arrival and guidance, the Jiubao Liuli Sect worked overtime to manufacture various soul guides that were previously only owned by the Sun and Moon Empire, and they worked hard every day.
In recent years, Linglong Pavilion has been continuously smuggling rare metals. The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has very high reserves of rare metals, not to mention high-level soul guides. Although there are no ninth-level soul guides, the seventh and eighth levels are piled up in the warehouse. Now the soul guide business of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect can be described as thriving.
"Teacher Lin, have you achieved any results with those Mingde Hall Level 9 blueprints I gave you?"
"We have already started to make them." Lin Jiaran said, "I will first make the level nine high-energy compression and multi-person linkage soul guides, which are also the soul guides necessary for my Bloody Dawn.
Your Nine Treasures Glazed Sect has a pretty good foundation. You can make soul guides below level eight independently, which saves me a lot of effort. I only need to research level nine soul guides.
Oh, this is for you."
Lin Jiaran handed over a circular soul guide:
"I originally planned to imitate the sealed milk bottle to make a ninth-level soul guide for storing soul power, but I ended up making a soul guide that can store soul rings.
It's of no use to me, so I'll give it to you."
