Ning Fengzhi: Rongrong, You Can't Handle Being the Nine-Colored Goddess. Let Your Father Do It!

Zang Xin shrugged without a care and said calmly:

"What does something that happened ten thousand years ago have to do with us?

"Shrek Academy even had a Time Douluo ten thousand years ago. How come I don't see you going after Shrek?"

Who among the Federation's countless organizations didn't have a few dark chapters in their history? People could talk all they wanted about things from ten thousand years ago. Who would care now?

Although they revered their ancestors, aside from especially exceptional figures like Tang San and Yuhao, hardly anyone cared much about the others as long as no one made up lies about them.

Su Tianxuan felt no pressure at all and shot back:

"I already went. Last time, I even brought them some dried cured meat."

Six years ago, he had been eating by the roadside when a bunch of students had rushed up out of nowhere, flipped his table, and demanded a fight.

As for what happened, perhaps they ran at school every day and had run too much. Their lips turned a little purple, and they accidentally died.

Su Tianxuan could only hold back his tears and take them back to Shrek. To make sure the others could find them, he even hung them over the entrance.

The people of Shrek had been quite appreciative too. Yun Ming had personally come to his door and ceded the title of the continent's strongest to him.

They just hadn't paid him, so he had still taken a huge loss.

Zang Xin's eyelid twitched. He somewhat regretted picking up that thread of conversation.

That incident was a disgrace to Shrek. If Cao Dezhi had been there, they might well have ended up fighting.

He shook his head, hurriedly dropped the subject, and said:

"Come with me. Hurry up, finish looking around, and leave. Don't forget to help me find the mole."

Before coming, Su Tianxuan had already sent them a message saying he wanted to bring people on a tour of the Tang Sect.

Although Zang Xin didn't know what he was planning, he needed a favor from him lately, so he had agreed.

"I know, I know."

Su Tianxuan waved impatiently at him and led Qian Renxue and Ye Guyi inside.

Like the Spirit Pagoda, the Tang Sect had many places commemorating its predecessors.

Inside one memorial hall stood statues of the First-Generation Shrek Seven Devils.

Tang San, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong...

Qian Renxue looked over the statues one by one, silently reciting their names.

Once I get back, I'll kill every one of you!

She had already seen what they looked like online, so there was no need for Su Tianxuan to introduce them in much detail.

Aside from Tang San, the ones most deserving of her attention were actually Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu needed no explanation. As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast who had taken human form, Qian Renxue was already considering whether she might have a chance to turn her into a Soul Spirit too.

Ning Rongrong had taken an Immortal Herb that caused her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, breaking through its innate limitation. She was also the only Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master to have broken through that limitation.

Remembering what she had read online, Qian Renxue couldn't help asking curiously:

"Your Excellency, is that Immortal Herb really so miraculous? It could turn Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!?

At those words, Ning Fengzhi, Beyond the Sky Screen, sprang to his feet and stared at the Sky Screen with wide eyes.

Had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's greatest aspiration been fulfilled in Rongrong?

Didn't that mean we could pass down the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and become the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect?

Inside the Sky Screen.

Su Tianxuan nodded:

"Immortal Herbs are among the greatest treasures on the Douluo Continent. It's not impossible for them to cause a Martial Soul Evolution."

Qian Renxue asked another question:

"Then can they make our Martial Souls evolve too?"

She was already considering how to obtain the Immortal Herbs in her own era.

Su Tianxuan thought for a moment, then nodded and shook his head:

"It might be possible to evolve Ye Guyi's, but probably not yours.

"No matter how powerful Immortal Herbs are, they're still mortal things. Since your Martial Soul was innately level twenty and is connected to a god, an Immortal Herb probably wouldn't have much effect."

Before they started talking, Su Tianxuan had casually used his spiritual power to isolate their surroundings, so they didn't need to worry about being overheard.

Qian Renxue wasn't discouraged. It didn't matter if she couldn't use them herself; she could still use them to win over other forces.

At the mention of this, Ye Guyi recalled a rumor:

"Your Excellency, I heard there's no Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Is that still true?"

It was a taunt directed at the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect in the Sun Moon Empire.

Su Tianxuan nodded again.

"Why is that?"

Qian Renxue was somewhat surprised.

This didn't match what she knew. Weren't Martial Soul evolutions and mutations supposed to be inheritable?

No matter how low the chances were, surely there would be some.

Su Tianxuan rubbed his chin. He wasn't too sure of the answer either.

"Well, Ning Rongrong and Oscar don't seem to have left any descendants, so I can't say for certain whether the changes brought about by an Immortal Herb can be inherited."

Take Ma Xiaotao from Douluo II, for example. She hadn't inherited the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul Ma Hongjun gained after taking an Immortal Herb, but had the original Evil Fire Phoenix instead.

But by now, in families like the Leng Family, the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul had become the norm, while the Evil Fire Phoenix was relatively uncommon.

So whether the effects of Immortal Herbs could actually be inherited was indeed still a mystery.

Still, there was no need to make this matter so complicated.

Su Tianxuan laughed it off:

"Besides, it doesn't really matter, does it? Ning Rongrong became a god. If she really wanted to establish a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda bloodline, how hard could it be? Since she didn't do it, it makes no difference whether the Immortal Herb's effects can be passed down."

"Oh, right! Why didn't she do that?"

"Why ask me? Go ask her."

Su Tianxuan rolled his eyes.

How the hell would he know?

Early on, Ning Rongrong had been quite devoted to her sect. He couldn't figure out how she had ended up like this either.

He also wondered how Ning Fengzhi would have felt, never having seen Ning Rongrong pass down the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda before his death.

In the Douluo I era.

Su Tianxuan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Ning Fengzhi.

He had been delighted that his sect and daughter could possess the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but now he radiated a frightening silence.

The others didn't dare approach him at all.

"Fengzhi, calm down. We don't know whether this is true or not. Don't blame Rongrong."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"Calm down? Uncle Jian, how do you expect me to calm down? That's the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

Ning Fengzhi's voice was frighteningly cold.

The people inside the Sky Screen didn't seem to know it existed at all. They couldn't possibly have been deliberately lying to him.

It was the first time Chen Xin had ever seen him like this. He, too, fell silent and let out a long sigh:

"Then what do you intend to do, Sect Master?"

Ning Fengzhi stared at Ning Rongrong's statue for a long time. Only when the three people in the Sky Screen left did he speak:

"Since Rongrong cherishes it so little, we'll find a way to give the Immortal Herb to someone else.

"The same goes for that god position. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda must be passed down, no matter what."

No one in the Sky Screen had said or asked what the Immortal Herb was. Judging by Qian Renxue's reaction, she must have looked it up privately on that communicator; she was certain to know.

At worst, he would sell the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to Spirit Hall in exchange for this opportunity.

Rongrong, don't blame me.

You can't handle this Immortal Herb and god position. Let your father do it!

Ning Fengzhi said silently in his heart.
