Douluo: Dragon King's Divine Elegy

Chapter 91: Yuan En Ye Hui turns Ah Yin into a servant and prepares to return home!
"You returned the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal in just one day; you must have gained something from it." Holding the crystal that emitted a faint blue light, Yun Ming's tone was full of anticipation.

Inside the pavilion were still the same few familiar elders, all staring at Nan Liujing with expectant eyes.

Nan Liujing did not disappoint them, and nodded solemnly.

"Tell me quickly!" Yun Ming suddenly became excited, losing all the composure of a peerless expert.

Nan Liujing could understand his feelings, after all, this was an era where it was impossible to become a god, and coincidentally, he made up an excuse that he had dreamed of a dream that alluded to Tang San.

Nan Liujing said in a deep voice, "In my dream, I vaguely heard four words: life and soul."

Life, soul?
The group paused slightly, and Yun Ming looked thoughtful, but couldn't dispel the mystery. "Is there anything else besides this?"

“That’s it.” Nan Liujing shook his head. “After this dream ended, I felt a connection break down, and I figured I would never be able to have this dream again, so I simply returned the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal.”

A hint of regret flashed in Yun Ming's eyes, but he didn't say anything more.

"I have already instructed people to carry out the reforms as you have suggested."

With the matter temporarily resolved, Yun Ming tactfully changed the subject.
"Okay," Nan Liujing replied, and then took his leave.

As soon as he left, the others from Zhuoshi hurriedly asked, "Sect Master, this matter is of great importance, and may even involve the gods. What should we do?"

Yun Ming lightly tapped the table with his left fingertip, then tossed his right hand behind him, distorting space and causing the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal to naturally return to the Golden Ancient Tree space.

The group then began to chat in detail.

However, it is clear that two keywords are not enough. Yunming can only set up a huge guessing circle first, and then narrow it down step by step.

hum~
The space trembled, and in the wooden house where the Vast Ocean Universe Crystal was placed, an old figure slowly approached.

As the original form of the Golden Ancient Tree, Elder Jin's level far surpasses Yun Ming's, allowing him to see more changes within the crystal.

He had naturally heard those two keywords.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, a subtle change made him frown.

The life energy flowing into the Golden Tree from the outside world was actually being absorbed by the crystal, something he had never experienced before.

what happened?

Suppressing his confusion, Mr. Jin lightly touched the crystal with his finger, and ripples spread across its surface, as if it were coated with gold leaf, making it exceptionally beautiful.

Then, a scene took Jin Lao by surprise. He saw the life energy that had been absorbed by the crystal quickly being expelled, and it appeared as blue-gold, suspended in the air in a raindrop-like pattern, in great numbers.

Soon, an invisible force surged from the heavens and earth, taking the form of vines, and with a gentle sweep, it took away these life essences.

Old Jin stood there stunned. He naturally knew what the vine-like light and shadow were.

When the God Realm faced a great calamity, the Sea God Tang San sent down a wisp of divine thought, hoping to let his mother reside inside the Golden Ancient Tree. As a God King, Tang San could not afford to offend him and could only agree. Over the years, the God-level Blue Silver Emperor has remained stable and has never made any moves, so Tang San has relaxed his guard against him.

But today's inexplicable change served as a wake-up call for him.

Jin Lao's face remained calm and composed as he focused his thoughts on the golden ancient tree. Soon, his expression turned completely gloomy.

As the life core of Douluo Star, the Golden Ancient Tree constantly filters impurities from the source of life, making it purer. Over the years, land-based soul beasts have become nearly extinct, humans have overexploited resources, and powerful enemies have invaded from the outside, causing the vast planet's source to teeter on the brink of collapse.

He barely managed to stay afloat, but because the Lord of the Plane did not reappear for some unknown reason, Douluo Star could not draw energy from the universe, and he could only watch helplessly as the planet's life essence weakened day by day.

Unexpectedly, besides the situations mentioned above, right under his nose, someone was secretly stealing the essence of life!

If it weren't for today's change, he might still be in the dark.

"His movements are so skillful that he must have done it countless times in secret." Old Jin realized that he had been fooled and treated like an idiot. He thought coldly, "That child has absolutely no relation to Tang San. I couldn't see the Blue Silver Emperor stealing energy before, but I could see it as soon as he took the crystal."

"Life, soul. What is he implying?"

We absolutely must meet!
Feeling the Blue Silver Emperor, which was huddled in a corner of the space, recklessly devouring the life essence, Jin Lao felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit. However, he couldn't really attack on the spot. He was certain that the Blue Silver Emperor had a backup plan left by the Sea God Tang San.

...

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Nan Liujing was about to leave Poseidon Island, an old voice suddenly rang in his ears.

A hint of a smile appeared in his eyes.

Mr. Jin, you haven't disappointed me, you really came to my door.

Inside the Vast Ocean Crystal, the Sea God's Mark left by Tang San has been replaced by Xia Mi's Sea God's Mark, but most of its functions remain unchanged.

One of the changes, including the process of Blue Silver Emperor stealing energy, became something that Ah Yin was completely unaware of, while Old Jin could easily see it.

Nan Liujing stopped walking and gazed at the clear lake surface, thinking to himself, "Should I call you Elder Jin, or the Core of Life of Douluo Star?"

Jin Lao paused for a moment, then said, "You gave me a hint, just to entice me to talk to you."

“Only after you know what the Blue Silver Emperor has done will you treat me as one of your own,” Nan Liujing said. “Before we talk, you should listen to what the Spirit of the Plane asked me to pass on to you.”

A wisp of nine-colored light detached from his body and silently merged into the world, only to be captured by Elder Jin.

The content wasn't anything special; it was nothing more than the spirit of the plane explaining its suppression and the conspiracy between Ah Yin and Tang San, etc.

Of course, the dimensional spirit emphasized Nan Liujing, regarding him as the benefactor who changed the status quo.

This caused Jin Lao's goodwill towards Nan Liujing to rise sharply, and his wariness to disappear completely.

Jin Lao sighed deeply, "No wonder the Lord of the Plane has stopped introducing cosmic energy in recent years; it turns out he has been suppressed by someone."

Nan Liujing continued, "The spirit of the plane has temporarily entered a state of slumber, preparing to reclaim the origin of the land. I promised him that I would help you deal with A Yin."

Old Jin said in a deep voice, "I won't let you help me for nothing. After it's done, I'll send you a reward."

"We'll see." The matter wasn't settled yet, and Nan Liujing didn't like opening champagne halfway through. "The two keywords I gave are: life corresponds to the Golden Ancient Tree, and soul corresponds to the successive Sea God Pavilion Masters. After they pass away, some of them will choose to merge with the Golden Ancient Tree."

Mr. Jin asked, puzzled, "What do you want to do?"

Nan Liujing asked, "I want to know what happened to these souls in the end?"

Jin Lao pondered for a moment and said, "As time goes by, their souls will gradually collapse and then turn into pure energy. Overall, they will be completely integrated with the Golden Ancient Tree."

Nan Liujing raised an eyebrow: "So, it's highly likely that a portion of this energy was absorbed by the Blue Silver Emperor?"

"This..." Elder Jin hesitated, "Before you helped me, I didn't know that the Blue Silver Emperor could secretly steal the essence of life, so I couldn't be sure."

Nan Liujing thought for a moment and said, "Can you communicate with Yun Ming through dreams? And you have to make sure he doesn't notice anything wrong."

“Sure.” Elder Jin said confidently. Nan Liujing smiled and said, “That makes things easier. I would like to ask you for a favor. Afterwards, secretly contact Yun Ming in the form of a dream, under the identity of Yun Ming’s mentor, the Heavenly Favored Douluo, and secretly reveal that the souls of the past Sea God Pavilion Masters were devoured by the Blue Silver Emperor.”

Jin Lao suddenly reacted: "The Blue Silver Emperor is Tang San's mother. Even after 20,000 years, Shrek Academy still worships the Sea God. Do you want to use this as an opportunity to make Yun Ming question the Sea God?"

“That’s right,” Nan Liujing said with a smile. “If Yun Ming tries to ask you a question, you can give him a hint and let him guess.”

“Okay.” Old Jin immediately agreed, then asked, “But how do we deal with this Blue Silver Emperor?”

Nan Liujing said, "That's simple. The sea god's mark inside the crystal has been secretly replaced. From now on, you just need to pretend you didn't see the Blue Silver Emperor's actions and let her steal it. When she thinks the time is right and wants to eliminate you, the contract carrying the power of suppression will take effect immediately. Unless the God King comes in person, she can only become a puppet from now on."

"This way, we can not only kill her to absorb her life essence at a critical moment, but also use her as a shield to resist foreign invasion!"

"Excellent!" Old Jin's eyes lit up. This was much more satisfying than simply suppressing the anger.

Yes, Xia Mi added an extra function to the Sea God's Mark: the more energy Ah Yin absorbed, the higher the degree to which she was implanted with a servant contract.

The reason for doing this was simply that Nan Liujing was laying the groundwork for the future.

When Tang San returns, he will face more than a dozen powerful enemies at the peak of the God King realm. If he cannot advance to the Cosmic God King realm with the help of the Heavenly Tribulation Pearl, the outcome will be unpredictable. Ah Yin, who has been bound by a servant contract, is the only way out.

Think twice before you act; before doing anything, you must consider many possible outcomes.

The two discussed and arranged the follow-up plans. Only then did Nan Liujing breathe a sigh of relief.

Tang Hao has already been suppressed, and A Yin is trapped like a turtle in a jar. With internal danger looming, only Da Ming and Er Ming remain.

Based on the original timeline of Haotian Sect's appearance, the two brothers at that time were no longer staying in Haotian Sect.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Platform will take some time to complete, so we cannot formulate a plan to deal with them for the time being.

In truth, these two were just tools. Tang Hao and Ah Yin at least managed to reach the second-level godhood, while they got nothing.

As Nan Liujing left, he had just crossed the Sea God Lake when he saw the beautiful Ma Xue and the resolute Lei Qianjie.

"Junior Brother Liu Jing!"

Unexpectedly, the person actually appeared, and Ma Xue's eyes lit up immediately, waving to signal.

"Senior Ma, is there something you need?" Nan Liujing stopped in front of the two and asked calmly.

Ma Xue and Lei Qianjie exchanged a glance and said, "We, this batch of wild-type students, all hope to join the Spirit Transmission Tower."

Nan Liujing raised an eyebrow slightly.

There are nearly thirty wild-type students in the inner academy, which is quite a large number, accounting for about a quarter of the total number of students in the inner academy. Each of them is almost guaranteed to become a Soul Saint or even a Soul Douluo in the future, and they would be considered the backbone of any major power.

Lei Qianjie explained, "Many forces have invited us to join, including the Spirit Pagoda. Originally, we were more inclined to go to the Temple of War, but because of you, we changed our minds."

Ma Xue smiled and said, "If possible, we all hope to join His Majesty the Heavenly Phoenix's lineage."

A smile appeared on Nan Liujing's face: "If you are willing to join, the teacher will naturally not refuse."

"Great."

Ma Xue was delighted and nudged Lei Qianjie with her shoulder.

Lei Qianjie smiled and said, "We have a small request, and we hope that Your Majesty the Heavenly Phoenix will agree to it."

Nan Liujing became interested: "Tell me about it."

Ma Xue continued, "The Inner Court Competition is comparable to the Federation Competition's adult individual competition. If Lao Lei and I can squeeze into the top ten, I hope you can speak to His Majesty Tianfeng and allow us to go to Mingdu as disciples of the Spirit Transmission Tower to participate in the adult individual competition."

So that's what they were planning... Nan Liujing suddenly realized.

The Federation Grand Competition is held every four years and is far larger than the once-popular All-Continent Youth Soul Master Elite Competition. Any Soul Master who achieves a high ranking in any group can become famous throughout the continent and at the same time win amazing honors for the forces behind them.

The Spirit Pagoda would naturally not miss the grand competition, and would send a large number of its core disciples to participate each time. Unfortunately, in the previous four competitions, the War God Temple almost swept the championships in the individual, three-person, and seven-person competitions.

“Okay, I’ll go ask the teacher. If he agrees, I’ll let you know.” Nan Liujing did not refuse.

The three immediately added each other as friends.

...

"Squad leader, remember to bring back some local specialties when you come back from your visit!"

In the first-year classroom of the Foreign Languages ​​Department, Yuan Enhui was about to leave when he heard friendly laughter from his classmates behind him.

Dressed in men's clothing, Yuan Enhui casually waved his hand and turned to leave.

Her footsteps were very soft in the corridor. Her gaze was directed beyond the railing, where sunlight was dappled through the branches, casting dappled shadows across the ground.

After a long conversation with Nan Liujing that day, she struggled with many things and finally decided to go home and talk to her grandfather, with whom she had almost broken ties, about the Fallen Angel Martial Soul and the Demon Dimension.

She wanted to know more details about the hostility her tribesmen showed her.

“It’s him.” Yuan Enhui paused, and her gaze fell upon a handsome young man walking slowly past.

Yuan Enhui quickly quickened his pace to catch up.

“Nan…” Yuan En Ye Hui was a little unsure how to address him. Nan Liu Jing seemed too distant, while Liu Jing seemed too intimate.

Nan Liujing sensed someone approaching, turned around, and looked on with some surprise. He smiled and said, "Is the outer academy having class? What brings you out here?"

Yuan Enhui pursed her lips and explained, "I've taken leave; I need to go home."

Going home... Nan Liujing's heart stirred slightly. The flapping of the butterfly's wings was truly unexpected. Originally, when Yuan Enye Hui returned home, he was almost a Title Douluo.

“I also have something to do outside the academy, let’s go together,” Nan Liujing said with a gentle smile.

"Okay." The casual conversation made Yuan Enhui feel a very comfortable and harmonious feeling.

Unfortunately, there were a bunch of shared bikes parked on the roadside.

"Sigh." Nan Liujing suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong?" Yuan En Hui asked curiously.

"It's nothing." Nan Liujing shook his head, scanned the code, and got into the car.

Yuan Enhui looked puzzled until she glanced at the empty seat behind Nan Liujing a few times and then she instantly understood. Even with the disguise, her neck, which was several shades lighter in color, had inadvertently turned a blush.

On her slender waist, she could almost feel the touch of strong arms embracing her. Yuan Enhui couldn't help but spit at herself.

Thinking nonsense deserves a beating!
