Chapter 31 The Auspicious Ring.
Hearing his daughter's words, Ning Fengzhi's face revealed an indescribable bitter smile.
Hadn't he also harbored expectations?
Especially when his daughter brought back the Qiluo Tulip and told him that her martial soul had evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
A glimmer of hope had ignited within him.
Perhaps, he, Ning Fengzhi, could also take the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda a step further, evolving it into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
After consuming that immortal herb, he did indeed feel the immense medicinal power cleansing his body, and his soul power improved.
His martial soul ultimately evolved into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
His cultivation, stagnant for many years, subtly loosened, and he successfully absorbed his eighth soul ring, becoming a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse.
But… that was all.
The imagined evolution did not occur.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda did not break through that shackle and transform into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Ning Fengzhi gently patted Ning Rongrong's hand, his tone gentle yet carrying an undisguised sense of melancholy.
"Rongrong, I understand your feelings. While the evolved Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is indeed a top-tier martial soul, extremely rare, it might still fall short of being 'unique' or 'special.'"
"After consuming the immortal herb, although I was fortunate enough to break through to Soul Douluo level and my martial soul received some enhancement, I ultimately failed to evolve it into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"This list is probably not for me."
He raised his head, his gaze once again fixed on the magnificent sky outside the hall, his eyes regaining their usual wisdom and composure.
Just then, the golden light above the sky surged violently once more.
New list information began to condense and take shape.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn back to it.
New rankings and information slowly emerged.
[Special Martial Soul Ranking, Eighth Place: Ruyi Ring!]
Another unheard-of martial soul!
Everyone intently studied its description.
[Ruyi Ring, a mutated martial soul. Originating from the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect in the world, it should have inherited the top-tier weapon martial soul, the Clear Sky Hammer. However, upon awakening at the age of six, it underwent a special mutation, transforming into the Ruyi Ring. Its form is magnificent, its ring shimmering with light, resembling neither gold nor jade.]
[Its special characteristics are: 1. The only known case in Douluo Continent of a non-powerful attack-type weapon martial soul mutated from the Clear Sky Hammer, with a fundamental change in form and function; 2. Upon awakening, it possessed an innate domain—the Noble Ring.]
[Martial Soul Restriction: Due to the special nature of the martial soul, the Ruyi Ring cannot be attached to any other soul rings, causing the owner's soul power to stagnate at level nine for life, unable to break through to level ten and become a Soul Master. This restriction is extremely rare in the history of martial souls in Douluo Continent.]
[Owner: Tang Yuehua (Master of Yuexuan)]
[Reward: Soul Power increased by one level, partial Martial Soul restrictions removed (can cultivate to the Soul King realm, with a maximum of five Soul Rings)]
This list caused another uproar across the continent!
"Transformed from the Clear Sky Hammer? The Clear Sky Sect has such a Martial Soul?"
"Comes with a natural domain? My god, even a Title Douluo might not possess this ability!"
"Can't add Soul Rings? Soul Power is stuck at level nine for life? This… what's the use of such a powerful domain if you can't cultivate it?"
"The reward removes some restrictions, allowing cultivation to the Soul King realm. Isn't Tang Yuehua a blessing in disguise?"
The discussion focused on "Clear Sky Sect mutation," "natural domain," and "inability to cultivate."
It was truly regrettable that someone possessing such a miraculous domain couldn't cultivate due to Martial Soul restrictions.
The Heavenly Curtain's reward undoubtedly gave her new hope.
Heaven Dou City, Yuexuan.
In an elegantly decorated room on the top floor, filled with artistic atmosphere.
A graceful and elegant woman in palace attire, with a gentle and refined demeanor, stood quietly by the window, gazing up at the list displayed in the sky.
She was Tang Yuehua.
She was overjoyed to see her name and martial spirit appear on the heavens.
Especially when she heard the descriptions of "unable to attach soul rings" and "lifelong soul power at level nine," a complex emotion stirred in her beautiful eyes, which seemed capable of encompassing and calming all emotions.
For decades, she had accepted this fact and established the Moon Pavilion in Heaven Dou City using this unique domain.
She taught etiquette and art to the noble children, realizing her value in another way.
But deep down, who hasn't longed for power, the ability to cultivate, and the ability to control their own destiny?
"Boom!"
The moment the golden light of the Heavenly Dao's reward crossed space and merged into her body, Tang Yuehua's delicate body trembled slightly.
The level nine bottleneck that had troubled her for decades, as indestructible as an iron wall, instantly loosened and crumbled!
Her soul power directly broke through to level ten!
Moreover, she could clearly feel that the invisible shackles within her body that prevented her from absorbing soul rings, although still present, had loosened considerably, as if a crack had opened.
She gently raised her hand, and the magnificent Ruyi Ring Martial Soul appeared in her palm, shimmering with light, seemingly more agile than before.
"Soul King, that's enough...it's really enough..." she murmured to herself, her voice choked with emotion, but filled with relief and joy.
For her, this was an immense blessing.
Beidou Academy.
Lu Xiao looked at the description of the Ruyi Ring on the celestial screen, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
"The Ruyi Ring, a noble ring...mutated from the world's strongest offensive weapon spirit into a purely supportive domain spirit."
He nodded slightly.
"This domain is of great use in both cultivation and governance."
Li Bai took a swig of wine, clicking his tongue in amazement: "The Clear Sky Hammer, such a domineering and powerful spirit, can actually mutate into such a peaceful and tranquil domain. The wonders of creation are truly boundless."
"This domain is somewhat similar to my Azure Lotus Sword Intent; both can cleanse the heart, only in different directions."
Soul Hall, Pope's Hall.
Bibi Dong sat high on her throne, looking at Tang Yuehua's information, her eyes indifferent yet scrutinizing.
"Haotian Sect, Tang Yuehua..."
Her red lips parted slightly, her tone revealing neither joy nor anger.
"A useless person who can't cultivate, relying on her innate domain to build connections in Heaven Dou City, and now she's finally gotten an opportunity."
"Soul King... Hmph, an ant is still an ant."
She didn't take Tang Yuehua too seriously.
Someone who, even with the restrictions lifted, could only cultivate to the Soul King level, was still insignificant before the behemoth that was the Spirit Hall.
Her gaze was more focused on the higher ranks of the list, waiting for those martial souls that might pose a threat to the Spirit Hall to appear.
Just as everyone was discussing the Ruyi Ring martial soul, the golden light in the sky flashed again, and the information for the seventh place began to condense.
This time, the golden light seemed to gather more slowly.
Finally, the words became completely clear.
[Special Martial Soul Ranking, Seventh Place: Soft Bone Rabbit!]
Upon seeing this name, many people's first reaction was confusion.
Soft Bone Rabbit?
This seemed to be just a relatively common low-level soul beast.
Although it's known for its flexibility, as a martial soul, it doesn't seem to be particularly "special" or "unique," does it?
