Ten thousand years ago, the Douluo Continent was dominated by four great empires, with Shrek Academy holding a dominant position.
However, with the development of Soul Guidance technology, the Sun and Moon Empire gradually surpassed the original three great empires in strength.
At that time, a powerful and ambitious ruler, Xu Tianran, emerged within the Sun and Moon Empire, launching a war against the original three great empires.
A Google search on Twitter reveals that the Douling Empire was the first to be swiftly destroyed, followed closely by the Tianhun Empire, leaving only the Xingluo Empire struggling to survive.
But the most dramatic twist is that the child born to Xu Tianran by the Sun and Moon Empire's commander, the War Goddess Empress Ju Zi, was not of royal blood, but rather the child of Huo Yuhao, the founder of the Spirit Pagoda.
In the end, Huo Yuhao turned the tide of the war, and the Sun and Moon Empire withdrew its troops.
However, Xu Tianran was already dead, and Huo Yuhao's child had already been made crown prince.
Ju Zi also firmly controlled the military power of the Sun and Moon Empire.
"Haha, you can't say that. When Xu Tianran, the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, ascended the throne, he killed many of his brothers. It's understandable that a royal coup would occur later,"
Leng Yaozhu shook her head slightly and chuckled.
Mu Ye and Han Tianyi sighed upon hearing this. Every emperor of the Sun Moon Empire had risen to power through bloodshed; fratricide had almost become a tradition.
Later, because the Sun Moon Crown Prince was Huo Yuhao's child, and because Shrek Academy, which was related to Huo Yuhao, the rising Tang Sect, and various other unspeakable reasons, the true Sun Moon royal family gradually disappeared from public view.
Even after the Sun Moon Empire unified Douluo Continent and became a federation, the Xu family rarely appeared.
The three top-tier martial souls they inherited gradually declined.
As for the reasons, the major powers in power in the federation now know the truth.
"But Tower Master Leng, what is your intention in bringing this up now?"
Mu Ye asked in a deep voice, his eyes filled with inquiry.
"I'll say it again, I have no ill intentions. The grudges of ten thousand years ago have no impact on the present.
Your sect is currently in dire need of rebuilding, and I am willing to provide assistance. I hope that in the future, when your sect is strong, you can forge an alliance with my Phoenix Clan."
Leng Yaozhu considered for a moment before revealing her thoughts.
While her Phoenix Clan seemed powerful now, they lacked a leader among the younger generation, and her sister…
Based on Jiang Xiu's talent, Leng Yaozhu wanted to invest in advance.
After all, the world wasn't just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social connections. Moreover, individual strength could indeed supersede many things.
Even if the investment failed, with her Phoenix Clan's current resources, it would only be a drop in the ocean.
"Alright, it's a deal."
Han Tianyi and Mu Ye exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement after thinking it over.
Their sect was currently penniless; they couldn't possibly lose out.
"Oh, right, Tower Master Leng, I forgot to tell you, I'm just one of Xiao Xiu's masters, while his master is Dong Zi'an, the commander of the Western Legion."
Perhaps feeling the current size of the Body Sect wasn't enough, Mu Ye directly brought up Dong Zi'an.
"Oh? It seems the Phoenix Clan will truly gain a powerful ally in the future."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes.
The Qian Gu family, currently in power at the Spirit Pagoda, had been secretly weakening her power as the deputy tower master, and Qian Gu Dongfeng was even plotting against her.
The Qian Gu family's strength stemmed not only from the number of powerful members within their own clan but also from their numerous allies within the Federation.
If she could befriend Jiang Xiu, she might be able to win over the behemoth that is the Western Legion.
"Jiang Xiu, you are truly a lucky star for me,"
Leng Yaozhu murmured to herself, a cold, beautiful smile playing on her lips.
"To show our sincerity, the Phoenix Clan has its own street in Shrek City, which we are now giving to the Body Sect for free.
You can establish your own sect headquarters there."
Having made her decision, the decisive Leng Yaozhu immediately spoke, handing Mu Ye a pre-prepared contract.
It was as if she had already anticipated today's events.
"Lord Leng, you are a man of principle."
Mu Ye nodded slightly, accepting the contract with praise.
To become the leader of the Phoenix Clan, Leng Yaozhu's decisiveness and strength were both formidable.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Han Tianyi was also slightly pleased, as if heaven was favoring their Body Sect.
Since Jiang Xiu's arrival, everything had been developing in a positive direction.
"Now that this matter is settled, let's see how Xiao Xiu and Na'er perform."
Han Tianyi pointed to the soul guidance screen on the wall, reminding them.
"Right, right, judging from Xiao Xiu and Na'er's performance, I wonder what Na'er's first soul spirit is?"
"Her? After seeing Xiao Xiu fuse with the Unyielding Soul Spirit yesterday, she insisted on trying it herself, and then she fused with one. She's such a worry."
Leng Yaozhu seemed to be complaining, but her tone was full of laughter and a hint of pride, as if to say that Na'er was no worse than Jiang Xiu.
"Na'er... what a good girl."
Looking at the graceful Na'er on the screen, an idea surfaced in Mu Ye's mind, and his heart immediately became active.
...
Inside the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.
Ancient trees reached for the sky, everything was lush and green, the sky was a clear blue, the fresh air was invigorating, and the ethereal birdsong could be heard from afar from time to time.
Just then, the space rippled slightly, and the figures of Na'er and Jiang Xiu appeared.
"Let's go, let's begin our journey of advancement."
Na'er's beautiful eyes shone brightly, and with a wave of her hand, endless silver light gathered, and a slender silver-white spear appeared.
The spear was covered with strange dragon patterns, and there was a purple tinge at the end.
The moment it appeared, the surrounding elemental fluctuations rippled.
"So this is the divine artifact, the Silver Dragon Spear?"
Jiang Xiu's eyes narrowed as he secretly examined it.
The Golden Dragon Spear was in Tang Wulin's hands, while this Silver Dragon Spear was in Na'er's.
"Yes, let's go."
Jiang Xiu summoned the Shadow King, who followed beside him, and headed towards the forest ahead.
In the Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform, after killing a soul beast, one-tenth of its energy would be used to increase the age of the soul ring.
For example, if Jiang Xiu killed a hundred-year-old soul beast, his first soul ring would increase by ten years.
"Little Xiu, what are your thoughts on the soul beast race?"
Na'er walked lightly beside Jiang Xiu, pointing to a ten-year-old flowering squirrel that appeared before them, subtly probing.
With her own strength, it would be difficult to achieve the revival of soul beasts in the human world, so she needed help, and Jiang Xiu seemed perfect.
Young and inexperienced, with her extraordinary wisdom, she could definitely win him over.
"What 'Little Xiu,' call me Brother Xiu."
Jiang Xiu's lips twitched upon hearing this, his handsome face hardening as he spoke seriously.
Although he didn't know what this little Silver Dragon King Na'er was up to, it seemed she definitely had something on her mind, after all, she practically had "come to my bowl" written all over her face.
"Brother Xiu?!"
Na'er's beautiful eyes widened instantly upon hearing this.
She was the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts, a powerful figure who led soul beasts to revival! And now she was being asked to call him "brother" by a human child? Unacceptable!
But before Na'er could speak, the howls of wolves rang out all around them.
. A pack of ferocious Gale Wolves was attacking them from afar, exuding a murderous aura.
The pack consisted of nearly thirty wolves, some a hundred years old and some a decade old.
"Hey! See those Gale Wolves? Whoever kills the most will be the boss from now on, how about it?"
Na'er's eyes lit up as she brandished her spear.
"Alright."
Jiang Xiu's eyes flickered, a hint of amusement flashing in them.
He wondered what Gu Yue's expression would be if she came to the Spirit Transmission Platform and found that Na'er had become his subordinate.
Moreover, Gu Yue and Na'er were both part of Jiang Xiu's future plans; after all, they were huge allies.
"Whoosh!"
Dark power surged around Jiang Xiu, and he and the Shadow King instantly moved forward.
"Hmph, human brat, you'll belong to King Na'er's ranks in the future,"
Na'er muttered to herself, then swept her spear horizontally, following closely behind.
"In this gamble, the advantage is mine!"
