Golden Tree's Help

"Your Dragon God Lord, I cannot make such a decision for Guyi!"

Ning Que looked extremely troubled.

The implication was clear: he refused.

To get Ye Guyi's promise, you can go directly to her, but there's a condition: if any real danger arises, you must help her first.

Whether or not to agree is a matter for later.

Besides, if a student has an accident at the academy, and you, as an elder, were clearly present, shouldn't you have offered to help?

Still negotiating terms!

Ning Que took shamelessness to the extreme.

Besides, wasn't it Shrek Academy that acted shamelessly first?

"That's exactly right!"

Mu En understood Ning Que's unspoken meaning. At this point, he couldn't force anything, so he quietly waited beside Ning Que.

As time passed, the fluctuations of Soul Power between heaven and earth became increasingly intense.

The commotion at the place where Ye Guyi was in seclusion was growing louder and louder.

Ning Que began to worry.

Such a commotion, especially in this kind of place, is bound to attract attention.

Fortunately, things returned to normal before long.

Ye Guyi successfully condensed her first Soul Core.

To condense one's own Soul Core before even obtaining the Seventh Soul Ring is simply too absurd.

Even Ning Que thought it was outrageous.

"Such a genius, it's a pity he's not from the Shrek Academy."

Seeing this, Mu En sighed softly.

He thought he could use this opportunity to make Ye Guyi owe him a favor, so that she could protect Shrek Academy in the future.

He never expected that Ye Guyi would actually condense Soul Core at the Soul Emperor realm on her own.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Mu En would have found it hard to believe.

Fortunately, Mu En is a decent person.

Despite his scheming, he never intended to destroy such a genius. On the contrary, he felt that Ye Guyi's rise was better for the mainland.

There are far too many Evil Soul Master in this era.

Ye Guyi are needed to cleanse the mainland of some pests.

"Little one, grow up quickly, I can't hold on for many more years."

In the end, Mu En did not mention any promises to Ning Que again; the little guy was really not easy to fool.

He knew that relying on others wouldn't work, so he decided to make a deal with Ning Que to hold out for a few more years and train him himself.

After Mu En left, Ye Guyi waited a while before emerging from her secluded cultivation location.

"A-Que, I miss you so much!"

Before Ning Que could react, accompanied by a fragrant scent, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared in Ning Que arms.

"Don't worry, with me here, we can overcome any difficulty."

Ning Que held Ye Guyi in his arms, feeling her softness, and the two pressed tightly together.

Although she didn't say anything, one thing was certain: the process of condensing the Soul Core was extremely dangerous, even bordering on life and death.

But this isn't the place to talk right now.

Ye Guyi clearly understood this as well, and reluctantly let go of Ning Que's embrace. The two held hands and walked out of the Golden Tree Cave.

Ning Que did not immediately leave Shrek Academy's inner courtyard with Ye Guyi. Instead, he accompanied her for a stroll near Sea God Lake, during which he briefly explained the recent events that had occurred.

"A-Que, once I've stabilized my cultivation, I'll challenge Yan Shaozhe to a duel and avenge you."

Hearing Yan Shaozhe bully Ning Que like this, a look of anger appeared on Ye Guyi's delicate face.

"This isn't urgent. Someone will deal with Yan Shaozhe!"

Ning Que smiled calmly, clearly enjoying the feeling.

The two chatted and strolled around, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the Nine Treasures Chamber of Commerce in Shrek City.

Once inside the cultivation chamber, Ning Que finally regained his composure.

"Guyi, what exactly happened when you were condensing your Soul Core?"

It's no wonder Ning Que so cautious; he's genuinely worried about something beyond his control.

"Initially, I didn't intend to fully condense the Soul Core. Instead, I first condensed a prototype Soul Core and used the power of the spiritual medicine to compress my own Soul Power as much as possible, ideally pushing my attributes to their limit. However, during the cultivation process, the Golden Tree contacted me on its own initiative. Only after Elder Yi confirmed this did I begin communicating with the Golden Tree."

"The Golden Tree not only helped me cultivate and improve my attributes, but also gave Elder Yi a portion of the purest primordial energy. In exchange, he hoped that after we became gods, we would help him break free from his cage..."

Ye Guyi recounted everything she had experienced during her cultivation process.

This was something Ning Que never expected; the Golden Tree actually took the initiative to communicate with the Guyi.

"A cage, what does that mean?"

Ning Que was somewhat confused. Calculating the time, Ah Yin shouldn't have attempted to possess the Golden Tree yet.

Why is there such a thing as a cage?

"The Golden Tree was found by the Sea God Tang San, who then imprisoned it here. He also set up an array at its core to constantly weaken its power. Not only that, after each Sea God Pavilion Master dies, their soul merges into the Golden Tree's body. They themselves carry the aura of death, constantly destroying the Golden Tree's foundation while also acting as parasites, continuously absorbing the Golden Tree's power to maintain that array and completely imprisoning it here!"

When this matter was mentioned, a hint of anger appeared in Ye Guyi's eyes.

If Golden Tree hadn't contacted her, she would never have imagined that so many dirty things were hidden behind the seemingly glamorous Shrek Academy.

That Sea God is even more shameless.

"In other words, when each of the elders of the Shrek Academy died, they entered the Golden Tree not to strengthen the Golden Tree itself, but to enhance the formation within the Golden Tree. Even the members of the Shrek Academy were unaware of these things."

Ning Que understood.

Who else but Tang San could do something like that?

Ye Guyi then explained the details of the Golden Tree, and after learning the full story, Ning Que couldn't help but sigh.

This Tang San really has some impressive skills.

The preparations began as early as ten thousand years ago when the Golden Tree was moved here.

"A-Que, have you noticed any changes in me?"

The topic was somewhat heavy. After Ye Guyi stood up, she twirled in front of Ning Que, like a Light Elf, smiling and anticipating Ning Que's evaluation.

"Yes, it's gotten bigger!"

Ning Que appreciated it very carefully, and then gave his evaluation.

Immediately after, Ye Guyi pounced on him and hugged his neck, almost suffocating him.
