The Dragon God Douluo Muen was old and severely injured, almost on the brink of death. Most of the time, his eyes seemed to be shrouded in a mist, lacking luster. But at this moment, the mist had dissipated, and his eyes glowed with a blazing golden-red, inspiring awe.

Opposite him, Jianmu Douluo Zhou Jiren also reined in his smile, his expression as cold as a frost-covered mirror. The tension between the two top-tier Douluos made the air in the room heavy.

"Jiren, one cannot be deaf and blind to run a household, but there are some things I simply cannot ignore. I need an answer from you."

For a full ten seconds, the coldness on Jianmu Douluo's face gradually faded, until his expression was blank. He looked at Muen and spoke slowly:

"Xiao Bai... was an abandoned infant from Jialing City. Eleven years ago, Fengya and Shadow Dragon went to pay respects to Sword and Bone Douluo, who had sacrificed his life for the continent's peace. They coincidentally found him, who was less than a year old."

"Jialing City..."

The tense atmosphere eased, and Muen realized the significance. Jialing City, also known as Jialing Pass, was the site of the ancient battle between the two gods and the place where the Angel God Position shattered. He vaguely understood why Ling Bai could possess the Six- Winged Angel.

"Before Xiao Bai's soul awakened at age six, no one at the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower dared to think he could be the successor to the Six-Winged Angel. But the truth was undeniable. At that time, Fengya helped Xiao Bai awaken his soul, and immediately told me about the return of the Six-Winged Angel. After much discussion and speculation, we concluded that Xiao Bai's awakening was likely due to the accidental absorption of the Angel God's power scattered at Jialing Pass.

That Holy Angel Sword is indeed no ordinary artifact; it must be a divine relic of the Angel God, though it has weakened without the divine position's blessing..."

Jianmu Douluo knew what Muen was worried about. Ling Bai's cultivation progressed too quickly, and he was a Six-Winged Angel, a being that theoretically should not exist on Douluo Continent. Muen feared that Ling Bai might be the reincarnation of the Angel God!

In truth, Jianmu Douluo was well aware that the idea of the Angel God's reincarnation was pure nonsense, because Ling Bai had a second soul, the Death Prison Spider Emperor!

He had told Muen the truth, but he had hidden a part of it. Ling Bai had not only absorbed the shattered Angel God Position but also the power of the fallen Ro God!

"Everything makes sense now..."

Muen nodded slightly. It seemed that Ling Bai was an unprecedentedly lucky child, a blessing from the heavens.

"Old friend, don't blame me. To protect Shrek Academy, I must be cautious." Muen said apologetically.

"I understand..."

Jianmu Douluo narrowed his eyes, his tone drawn out: "Muen, now that you know the

absolute secret of our sect, you should pay a price. And entering the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower isn't free."

Muen blinked. A price?

You're openly extorting me, right?

"What do you want?"

Seeing Muen accept his fate, Jianmu Douluo revealed his true intentions with a smirk: "Xiao Bai praised the Golden Tree of Shrek. Give me some of its Light Energy."

"How much?"

"Not much, just ten thousand years."

"Ten thousand years?"

Muen's eyes almost popped out of his head, and his back straightened in anger. He exclaimed:

"You old coot, you're getting greedier with age. No tree, but I'll give you a fight!"

With that, Muen turned to leave, but Jianmu Douluo quickly caught up and pulled him back, trying to calm and persuade him:

"Don't get angry, it's bad for your health.

Think about it. Although Xiao Bai has no substantial connection to the Six-Winged Angel of the Soul Temple, he owes a favor to the last Angel God. So, isn't Shrek Academy in a bit of an

awkward position?"

"Hmm..." Muen pondered.

"If you give me some treasures to eliminate unnecessary misunderstandings, and with our close relationship, a hundred years from now, if Shrek encounters any difficulties, Xiao Bai will help you out for the sake of our friendship!"

"A hundred years is a long time. It sounds like you're trying to get something for nothing." Muen rubbed his chin suspiciously.

"How could that be!" Jianmu Douluo, eager to persuade Muen, almost swore an oath.

"He who receives help is bound by gratitude. It's an eternal truth! Isn't that why you set up the treasure fair to offer credit?"

"I'll think about it when I get back."

Muen did not immediately agree. The Golden Tree was too important, and he could not make a decision alone. At the very least, he needed to seek the approval of the majority of the Sea God Pavilion elders.

"Alright."

Jianmu Douluo did not push too hard. He only hoped to guide Muen, leaving the final decision to Muen himself.

"We've finished the important matters. Let's chat a bit more." Muen said, "I'm curious. The Six-Winged Angel is a gathering of sacred, light, and fire attributes, which are vastly different from your Jianmu Holy Tree's abilities. Jiren, what made you take Ling Bai as your direct

disciple?"

Hearing this, Jianmu Douluo's aged face showed a hint of reminiscence: "That year, Fengya brought him back after hunting his first and second soul rings. He asked me a question."

"What question?"

"Can't say, can't say..."

Countless scenes flashed before Jianmu Douluo's eyes, like an old film or forgotten times.

"Senior Jianmu, did Aunt Fengya tell you about me?"

"Yes, ultimate death, blood contact madness, soul blood consumption-truly the number one evil soul. Even the blood-red puppet I once saw cannot compare to your Death Prison

Spider Emperor."

"Senior, the Death Prison Spider Emperor is extremely dangerous. The Six-Winged Angel can't suppress it, and it will be a threat to both me and the continent in the future. Do you have any way to remove it?"

"You're thinking too much. A soul is deeply intertwined with a person and is hard to

separate."

"Then please cut it out with a knife."

Returning to the present, Jianmu Douluo couldn't help but smile. He said, "Muen, from that

day on, I knew this child's future was bound to be limitless."

"With him, your Nine Treasures Crystal Tower will flourish for three hundred years!"

Muen laughed and stood up, a hint of envy and sigh hidden in his smile. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower had a successor, but Shrek Academy was strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The Tuantie Douluo Xuan's soul had a defect, Mingfeng Douluo Yan Shaogang had a narrow perspective, and the others were either too old or too young to be of much use. Muen could only hold on for two or three more years before passing away, and he still hadn't found

the path for Shrek.

"Farewell, old friend."

His body turned into golden specks and dissipated. At Muen's level, he had long accepted life and death, and the words of farewell were as light as a feather, like saying he was going to

have breakfast.

The final meeting between the two top-tier Douluos ended. Jianmu Douluo watched Muen

leave, and after a long while, he sighed, saying:

"Old friends are like fallen leaves in the wind..."

Meanwhile, in the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower garden.

Ning Fengya and Ning Tian walked slowly, their slender shadows trailing behind them. On both sides were the nine-colored jade stones purchased at great cost by the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower. The golden apricots, with a history of ten thousand years, reached out from the nine-colored eaves, and the autumn scenery spilled onto the ground. The golden apricots, the colorful walls, and the clear, blue autumn sky made the garden bright and vibrant. "...In short, I have become a disciple of the Soul Conductor Department Dean, War God Douluo Xian Lin'er, and I have chosen to cultivate both as a soul master and a soul conductor. Every day at Shrek Academy is very fulfilling."

Ning Tian, half a step behind Ning Fengya, recounted her year at the academy while glancing

sideways at her mother.

Dressed in thin clouds, with a slender waist, she exuded a noble and graceful demeanor. Ning Tian was revered as a little princess in the outer court, for she truly possessed the beauty and grace of a princess. But only she knew that everything she strived for was a horizontal imitation of Ning Fengya.

Indeed, Ning Tian was already very excellent, but next to her mother, she felt like a fake compared to the real thing. The four words "self-abasement and self-contempt" appeared in the dictionary of the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower's little princess for the first time. After listening to Ning Tian's academic experiences, Ning Fengya nodded lightly, her voice clear and casual:

"Developing interests and hobbies is a good thing. What about the task I gave you?"

"The task..." Ning Tian's face tightened, "I have befriended the geniuses in the outer court,

and seven of them have promised to join the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower upon graduation. There will be more in the future."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"Your father and Xie Qin were among the seven geniuses I recruited when I entered Shrek

Academy. But these are just trivial matters. My dear daughter, when did you learn to avoid the important issues?"

Ning Fengya's smile was warm like the sun, but Ning Tian felt a bone-chilling cold from the

curve of her mother's lips.

"The most important task is to win Xiao Bai's heart. Whether it's mutual affection or flattery,

I just want to know, have you succeeded?"

"Mom!"

Ning Tian looked at Ning Fengya in disbelief, her voice filled with sadness: "According to you,

I'm just an accessory to Bai Ge! Emotional matters cannot be forced. I treat him sincerely, and we will let our relationship develop naturally!"

"Sincere treatment... let it develop naturally..."

Ning Fengya laughed in anger, wanting to open Ning Tian's head to see if it was filled with

mush. She sneered:

"This isn't a world where love can sustain you. Strong alliances are paramount, and sincerity

is the least important!

Ning Tian, the innocent child must face reality. You need to learn to do the rational and

correct thing, to shoulder the responsibility of reviving the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower! Shrek Academy is full of outstanding girls, and the dark guards left in Shrek City have seen

Xiao Bai and the inner court female disciples together more than once. How long will your childhood friendship last?

If you don't take the lead, someone else will!"

"I... I..."

Ning Tian seemed to lose control of her emotions, clenching her fists so hard that her knuckles turned blue. Ning Fengya gently brushed her hair, regaining her composure: "Xiao Bai has exceptional talent and excellent character, but he is ruthless to both himself and his enemies. He only shows warmth to his close family and friends.

I'm not asking you to lower yourself to flatter him, but to truly integrate with him. You need

to share his joys and sorrows, to experience life and death with him, to share common interests, and to learn more about him. Show your vulnerabilities appropriately to spark a man's protective instincts. This isn't seduction, but a small tactic for harmonious relationships between men and women, and between couples."

"Mom, what you say makes sense, but I feel that times have changed. Soul conductors are the

trend of the continent, and auxiliary souls can transform into control, strong attack, and agile attack souls with the help of soul conductors. So the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower doesn't need to rely on battle soul masters anymore. We can revitalize ourselves!"

Ning Tian looked at her mother stubbornly. Ning Fengya's nose bridge was straight, dividing

the light and shadow, making it hard to discern what the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower's

leader was thinking.

"Soul conductors..."

Ning Fengya thought for a moment and slowly but firmly shook her head, saying:

"Soul conductors also need soul power to advance. The Seven Treasures Crystal Tower is

capped at level seventy-nine. What can a quasi-level eight soul conductor do? The Six-Winged Angel is different!

The only stable divine soul in the history of Douluo Continent is now on our side... When Ning Rongrong's ancestor did not leave the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, the sect suffered a defeat despite winning the dual-god battle. Later, the Heavenly Soul Empire split,

and the Xue clan, who were close to us, fled to Lingdou City to establish the Dueling Spirit Empire. The remaining Tianhun Empire royal family favors battle soul masters and is inclined

to establish the Main Body Sect as the national sect. Once Jianmu Douluo falls, the Main Body Sect will have no more reservations, and the sect's annihilation will be imminent. Xiao Tian, the sect's top priority is to cultivate Xiao Bai with all our might before Jianmu Douluo's fall, helping him break through to level ninety-five and stabilize the situation within ten years. We will pass on the angel bloodline, and then the Main Body Sect and the

Tianhun royal family will be no threat!"

Ning Fengya's beautiful face flushed, her heart racing in her chest, showing no signs of

slowing down. The Six-Winged Angel was like a supreme scepter; whoever held it had the right to compete for the continent.

Then she noticed her daughter was silent. The garden was quiet, and after a while, Ning Fengya turned to look at Ning Tian, her eyes filled with complex emotions. "What are you thinking? Have you considered it seriously?"

Ning Tian's blue eyes reflected her mother's face, her voice hoarse: "Mom, if you rely on the

Six-Winged Angel to revitalize the sect, will we still be the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower, or a branch of the Soul Temple's Nine Treasures Crystal Tower?"

The excitement subsided, and Ning Fengya's face turned gray. She opened her mouth several

times but could not refute Ning Tian's words. Everything she said was self-deception. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower was a sect that

respected the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower. By binding the Seven Treasures Crystal Tower with the Six-Winged Angel, they would become a dedicated auxiliary to the Six-Winged Angel. In the future, people would remember the Six-Winged Angel, not the Seven Treasures

Crystal Tower. The Nine Treasures Crystal Tower would exist in name only. Realizing this, Ning Fengya felt as if she had just woken from a dream.

"Mom, relying on others is not as good as relying on oneself. Bai Ge has his own path, and the

Seven Treasures Crystal Tower has its own path..." Ning Tian earnestly advised, believing that self-reliance was the right path to revitalize the Nine Treasures Crystal Tower.

"Enough."

Ning Fengya waved her hand to interrupt Ning Tian, turned, and left. A black ancient book fell

into Ning Tian's palm.

The secret skill, Fusion Ring.

"The future is yours. What I couldn't do, you will complete."

Ning Tian looked at her mother's back in surprise. She couldn't see Ning Fengya's natural

smile, which made the garden seem brighter.

"You've grown up...

I'll go to the ancestral hall to chat with your father. Don't follow me. Tomorrow, there's an auction hosted by the Tianhun Empire. Although our relationship isn't

what it used to be, we should still show our respect. You and Xiao Bai and Xiao Feng will

accompany

me."

"Love you, Mom!"
