This flower had a very strange appearance. The roots and leaves beneath the flower were like tangled vines, fine and dense. However, the top was a golden tulip, and its rich fragrance gave people a feeling of magnificence.
"Teacher, what is this?" Ning Rongrong picked up the flower, took a light sniff, and asked with a face full of curiosity.
"This item is called the Qiluo Tulip. It is an Immortal Herb. I won't explain its specific effects too much. You only need to know that after consuming it, there are no side effects. It can solidify your foundation, nourish your origin, increase your spirit power, and cause your Spirit to evolve from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda." Xiao Se said sternly.
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong, and even Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, had their eyes light up. Especially Ning Fengzhi, who had bet all his treasures on Xiao Se; he didn't expect to have a surprise so soon.
And it was a huge surprise at that. The evolution of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was his lifelong goal. Now, it was actually going to be realized on his daughter so quickly. If he hadn't already promised to contribute seventy percent of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's wealth to the Spirit Empire, he would have wanted to spare no cost to ask Xiao Se for another one.
"Rongrong, hurry up and thank your teacher." Ning Fengzhi suppressed the excitement in his heart and urged her.
"Thank you, Teacher." Ning Rongrong also didn't expect to be able to obtain such a great Opportunity. She smiled sweetly and was about to bow in thanks, but was stopped by Xiao Se.
"There is no need for bowing. Remember, this flower cannot be swallowed. You need to lightly suck on the stamen, slowly ingest the essence into your body, and then Cultivate your spirit power to slowly guide it, allowing the medicinal effect to spread throughout your limbs and bones." Xiao Se said, "You should first go back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with your father to refine this Immortal Herb. Xiao Yi Xian, Zhuqing, and I still need to complete our spirit rings. We will go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to pick you up for training later. Just take advantage of this short time to have a good reunion with your father and family. It is estimated that it will be difficult for you to see your family again for a few years."
After speaking, Xiao Se signaled to Xiao Yi Xian, and the latter opened a spatial rift. The three of them flashed into the rift and disappeared.
Looking at the place where Xiao Se and the others disappeared, Ning Rongrong could not recover for a long time. Her gaze turned to Ning Fengzhi, and her eye sockets instantly became blurred: "Dad, I..."
"Rongrong, you have grown up and should have your own world. Besides, it's only a few years. We old guys are still in good health, and it's not like we won't see each other again. Go back. According to your teacher's instructions, refine this Qiluo Tulip. I really can't wait to witness the birth of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda." Ning Fengzhi touched Ning Rongrong's head with relief.
"Mm, Dad, I will." Ning Rongrong wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and nodded with red eyes.
Immediately, led by Sword Douluo, the group flew towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's residence. And on this very day, the news of the destruction of the Clear Sky Sect spread like wildfire, passing from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and within just a few days, it spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
On the other side, Xiao Se and the others had already arrived above the Lake of Life in the center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"It should be here." Xiao Se looked down. Because of the absence of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, and because the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger and the Three Brothers of the Thousand-Army Ant Emperor had become Xiao Se's spirit rings, the Lake of Life had superficially become ownerless.
"Brother, there seems to be a small space at the bottom of this lake. Be careful." Long Kui's soft voice suddenly sounded in Xiao Se's heart.
"I know." Xiao Se nodded. Unsurprisingly, it was the small space constructed by Gu Yuena using the Dragon God's power of creation. Immediately, he turned his gaze to Xiao Yi Xian: "Xiao Yi Xian."
Xiao Yi Xian nodded slightly, raised her jade hand, and exerted the power of space. A spatial gate slowly rose on the surface of the lake water.
"Let's go in." While speaking, Xiao Se took the lead and dashed into the spatial gate, followed closely by Xiao Yi Xian, the Ice Dragon King, and Zhuqing.
As soon as they entered the spatial gate, they saw a group of Vicious Beasts gathered together, including Di Tian, Bi Ji, the Ten-Thousand Demon King, Xiong Jun, Chi Wang, as well as Zi Ji and Yao Ling.
At this moment, they were surrounding a big fat worm, sleeping soundly. With every breath, majestic heaven and earth energy surged from the big fat worm's body, which they absorbed and then refined.
"I really didn't expect that there were so many Vicious Beasts hidden in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest." Seeing the shocking scene before her, Zhuqing couldn't help but sigh in her heart. In the past, in her cognition, a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast was already an existence that could only be looked up to. She didn't expect that the Star Dou Great Forest still had so many Vicious Beasts left. Among them, several made her feel fear with her current strength.
Thinking of this, Zhuqing turned her gaze to Xiao Se beside her, feeling a sense of peace in her heart.
Xiao Se nodded, returning a reassuring smile.
"Human, save me and take me out quickly. I am willing to sacrifice myself to become your intelligent spirit ring." Suddenly, a voice sounded in Xiao Se's mind.
Recognizing that the voice came from that big fat worm, Xiao Se glanced at it and secretly found it funny. Other Spirit Beasts could sacrifice themselves, but he didn't need Tianmeng Iceworm. If the other party sacrificed, it was very likely that, just like in the original work, not even a Spirit Bone would be left. And what Xiao Se needed was its Spirit Bone, and it had to be a head Spirit Bone.
At this time, Di Tian and the others also discovered the four intruders, Xiao Se and his group.
"Human, if you are sensible, get out of here quickly." Suppressing the urge to attack directly, Di Tian said angrily. He did not choose to make a move directly; for one thing, the Spirit Beast co-ruler, the Silver Dragon King, was sleeping here and could not be disturbed. For another, he felt a very dangerous aura from the four of them, especially Xiao Yi Xian and the Ice Dragon King, which gave him the feeling of facing the Ice Dragon King in its prime.
Xiao Se didn't answer directly, but turned his gaze to the Ice Dragon King: "Ice Heart, I'll leave it to you."
The Ice Dragon King nodded, took a step forward, and said in a cold voice: "What? Di Tian, can you not even recognize me?"
As she spoke, a majestic aura surged from the Ice Dragon King's body, transforming into a huge white dragon shadow behind her.
"You are... Lord Ice Dragon King." Di Tian looked incredulous. As an existence that had existed since the Dragon God era, he naturally knew of the Ice Dragon King's existence, but he didn't expect that the Ice Dragon King, who was rumored to have fallen along with the Fire Dragon King, would appear here.
"It is I." The Ice Dragon King said indifferently.
"But didn't you fall along with Lord Fire Dragon King? How could you be with these humans? And why do you have a human aura on you now?" Di Tian was shocked and happy in his heart, but even more confused.
"That is a long story. You had better take me to see the Lord first; I have something to tell her." The Ice Dragon King said.
"This..." Di Tian was a little hesitant. Just then, a spatial gate suddenly rose in this space, and an ethereal voice came from inside: "Di Tian, let the Ice Dragon King in."
Saying that, she said to the Ice Dragon King: "Come in, I also have many things I want to ask you."
The Ice Dragon King said to Xiao Se: "You wait here for me."
"Go ahead, and help me pass on a message: I can help her resolve the power of the Asura God on her." Xiao Se smiled lightly.
The Ice Dragon King nodded and then entered the spatial gate.
The spatial gate disappeared. Xiao Se's eyes swept over the Vicious Beasts and finally stopped on Di Tian: "Hey, big guy, your name is Di Tian, right? My name is Xiao Se. This is my wife, Xiao Yi Xian. This one is also my wife, named Zhuqing. Let's get familiar with each other."
"Human, don't try any tricks." Di Tian stared at the three of them vigilantly. Behind him, Xiong Jun, Chi Wang, and the others were eager to move, only Tianmeng Iceworm looked pitiful.
"How could I try any tricks? Didn't you see Ice Heart just now? That is your Ice Dragon King. Originally, she and her brother, the Fire Dragon King, had already fallen, leaving only a trace of their Soul. It was I who helped them replenish their Soul power and refined a brand-new body for them, which is why they were completely resurrected and returned to their Peak." Xiao Se said with a smile.
"Hmph, don't think I don't know how the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python died. Humans are simply not to be trusted." Di Tian snorted coldly. In his eyes, humans were cunning, greedy, and had no credibility at all. If it weren't for the fact that the other party's strength made him wary, and he was afraid of disturbing the Lord, he would have already launched an attack by now.
"Oh, you are talking about the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. If I said it was a misunderstanding, would you believe me?" Xiao Se said with a faint smile.
"You killed them and absorbed their spirit rings; where is the misunderstanding? Besides that, I also sensed the aura of another hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast on you, that rabbit who transformed into human form." Behind Di Tian, an emerald swan spoke in a human voice.
"You must be Bi Ji, the leader of the Emerald Swan clan and Di Tian's lover." Xiao Se looked at Bi Ji.
"So what if I am?" Bi Ji shouted delicately.
Xiao Se smiled and said: "Let me show you a scene of the future. At that time, I believe you will want to kill them even more than I do."
Saying that, Xiao Se activated his Sharingan and pulled all the beasts into the illusion space.
In the illusion space, they saw everything Tang San experienced in the original work, apart from his battles with Spirit Hall, from his Transmigration to meeting Xiao Wu, to accepting the sacrifices of Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Azure Bull Python, and becoming a dual god. After becoming a god, he was arrogant for eternity, plotted against the Spirit Beasts, and put part of his daughter's Soul into the Auspicious Beast. And so on. Finally, he turned the Douluo Continent into his Tang Clan's pig farm, and the Spirit Beasts were almost extinct.
And in this process, Xiao Wu, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Azure Bull Python were indifferent from beginning to end. They had completely forgotten their identity as Spirit Beasts. Especially Xiao Wu, after ascending to the God Realm with Tang San, she was high and mighty, indulging Tang San's actions, and in the end, she even turned their own Lord, the Silver Dragon King, into his Tang Clan's daughter-in-law.
"This damned traitor." After seeing all this, Chi Wang, Xiong Jun, and other Vicious Beasts spoke with hatred, their eyes splitting with rage.
"If I hadn't killed them, this would be your future. And as for the roles that that rabbit, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Titan Giant Ape played in it, I probably don't need to explain too much, right? Do you still think they are innocent?" Xiao Se spread his hands.
"Xiong Jun, Chi Wang, shut up." Di Tian glared at the Spirit Beasts behind him, then looked at Xiao Se with a heavy gaze, "How can I trust you?"
"Although there is no need to explain too much to you, since you want to see evidence, it's simple. Why not just see that rabbit? Before she could sacrifice herself to Tang San, she was caught by me." Golden light surged on Xiao Se's body, and seven spirit rings—black, red, red, red, red, red, red—rose from under his feet. The seventh red spirit ring flashed, and a streak of light flew out, landing in front of everyone, transforming into Xiao Wu's familiar figure.
"Where is my Third Brother? You bastard, what exactly did you do to my Third Brother?" Xiao Wu, who had just regained consciousness, obviously didn't notice her current situation. She glared at Xiao Se and screamed.
"Oh, your Third Brother, why don't you take a look for yourself." Xiao Se snapped his fingers, and a projection immediately appeared in the illusion space, from Tang San and Tang Ritian being killed, to Tang San's Soul being captured by Xiao Se, and finally Tang San occupying the body of a female ape, being favored by dozens of male apes.
"Ah! I'll kill you, I want to kill you! You actually let my Third Brother..." Xiao Wu was tearful, her eyes splitting with rage. Her pretty face became incomparably hideous at this moment.
At this moment, a deep voice sounded from the side: "Little rabbit, let me ask you, have you really fallen in love with that human named Tang San?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu realized and looked around, discovering that there were many terrifying Spirit Beasts around that she had never seen before.
"Answer me. Have you fallen in love with that human named Tang San?" Di Tian's majestic voice rushed straight into Xiao Wu's mind.
"Gulp." In shock, Xiao Wu swallowed her saliva, but she asked herself that her feelings for Tang San were sincere, so she nodded.
"For him, you are even willing to sacrifice yourself? Willing to hunt Spirit Beasts?" Di Tian asked again.
Xiao Wu nodded again. If Tang San was in danger, she would be willing to sacrifice herself in desperation. As for hunting Spirit Beasts, Tang San's fourth spirit ring was hunted with the help of her and the Shrek group.
Seeing this, a flash of deep disappointment crossed Di Tian's eyes. He then used this as an excuse to step down and said to Xiao Se: "Your Excellency, the matter of this rabbit, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Sky Azure Bull Python will no longer be questioned by my Spirit Beast clan."
Of course, even if he wanted to question it, he couldn't.
"A wise choice." The corner of Xiao Se's mouth curled up, and he took Xiao Wu's Soul back into his seventh spirit ring. Then he dispelled the illusion.
The illusion space lasted for half an incense stick of time, but in the outside world, it was only a second.
"Xiao Se, what did you show them just now?" Xiao Yi Xian asked Xiao Se.
"Just their future." Xiao Se smiled, transformed his Qi into a chair, pulled Xiao Yi Xian and Zhuqing to sit down on the side, and flirted with them.
Half an hour later, the spatial gate rose again, and the voice of the Silver Dragon King came from inside: "Human named Xiao Se, come in."
Xiao Se nodded. Just as he wanted to take Xiao Yi Xian and the other with him, Di Tian blocked them: "The Lord only said to let Xiao Se go in alone."
"Death seeking." Xiao Yi Xian raised her jade hand, purple light rhythmically pulsing, and was about to kill Di Tian with one palm.
Xiao Se held her jade hand: "Xian'er, it's fine. Don't you trust your man?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian dispersed the Dou Qi in her hand and glared at Di Tian: "If Xiao Se has even the slightest mishap, I will make the entire Spirit Beast clan vanish into smoke."
Di Tian swallowed his saliva, not daring to refute. For the first time, he felt the crisis of death. If Xiao Se hadn't stopped it just now, he feared that if Xiao Yi Xian's palm had landed, he would have been dead or crippled.
