Heaven Dou Empire's Tang Sect, Mu Tianyi and Tang Ya

Mu En looked at the emerald carving knife and suddenly understood something.

He raised his head, his gaze landing on Mu Tianyi's face as his tone deepened: "You want to use this thing to restore my body?"

Mu Tianyi did not deny it and nodded.

"No."

Mu En's tone was crisp and decisive.

"This is your fortuitous encounter, something you found only after receiving the guidance of the Goddess of Life. I am just an old man who won't live for many more years; it is not worth using such a treasure to extend my life."

Mu Tianyi did not rush to refute him.

He knew his Xuan Zu's temper.

As a Limit Douluo standing at the pinnacle of the Douluo Continent, he possessed his own pride and principles deep in his bones.

He could exhaust his last breath on the battlefield and burn everything he had for Shrek Academy, but he would never take advantage of a junior, especially not the fortune of his own great-great-grandson.

"Xuan Zu, you underestimate the weight of this thing." Mu Tianyi placed the carving knife on the table, his tone calm. "Do you think that to heal your injuries, we need to use the entire piece of Life Gold?"

Mu En frowned slightly.

Mu Tianyi smiled and shook his head, saying:

"Xuan Zu, you are underestimating Life Gold. Let alone the whole piece, just scraping off some powder is enough to wash away all the hidden injuries and source depletion you've accumulated over the decades."

One must know, the original work had already mentioned it.

The life force of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who lived for a million years, was not as vast as a single drop of Life Gold.

Mu En was silent for a moment.

He looked at the emerald carving knife on the table, then at the expression on Mu Tianyi's face that said, "Rest assured, I know what I'm doing." His lips moved, but in the end, he did not say any more words of refusal.

"Even if only a little is needed, how do we use it?" Mu En asked, his tone softening significantly.

If it were only that, he could accept it.

The children needed him, Shrek Academy needed him, and the continent needed him.

He, Mu En, must never fall here; he had to stand tall.

Mu Tianyi put the carving knife away and said, "This requires someone skilled in utilizing life force to act, and Elder Zhuang is the most suitable person for the job."

"His martial soul is the Tree of Life; when it comes to the application of life force, there are few on the continent stronger than him."

"However, we will have to wait until we return to the academy to proceed."

Mu En nodded and said nothing more.

No matter how urgent he was, he could wait a few days.

Early the next morning, the grandfather and grandson left Star Luo City.

Mu Tianyi had originally thought Mu En would take him directly toward the Sun Moon Empire, but the old man took a turn and flew north, heading toward the Heaven Dou Empire.

The wind whistled in his ears. Mu Tianyi tilted his head to look at the mountains and rivers passing beneath them and couldn't help but ask.

"Xuan Zu, where are we going?"

Mu En smiled, his tone unhurried:

"Tianyi, do you still remember the Tang Sect?"

"The Tang Sect?"

Mu Tianyi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

The Tang Sect was founded ten thousand years ago.

It was established by the Original Shrek Seven Devils and the legendary Sea God Tang San, who ascended to the God Realm.

Ten thousand years ago, after the war against the Spirit Hall Empire ended, the Tang Sect, as a force of the victorious nation, played a key role in ending the conflict.

Coupled with the backing of the Sea God Tang San, the Tang Sect naturally became the number one sect in the world.

It was a pity.

Time flies like a white horse passing a crevice; ten thousand years are enough to witness all kinds of ups and downs in the human world.

Although the Tang Sect still existed today, compared to ten thousand years ago, it could no longer be described as glorious.

Not to mention whether the Tang Sect's ultimate techniques left behind by the Ancestor Tang when he ascended to the God Realm were castrated versions.

Just looking at the fact that after ten thousand years of inheritance, the people of the Tang Sect were still dreaming of cultivating Blue Silver Grass into a god, one could see how absurd it truly was.

It was thanks to Huo Yuhao acting as a beast of burden within it; otherwise, people ten thousand years later might not have been able to distinguish between the Blue Silver Emperor and the Blue Silver Grass.

In half a day, Mu En carried Mu Tianyi at high speed, crossing most of the Douluo Continent to arrive at Tiantou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

Mu En could be considered the only person in the Sea God Pavilion who had not been brainwashed by ten thousand years of glory.

His attitude toward the Tang Sect alone was different from that of the other elders.

Mu En still believed from the bottom of his heart that the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy were branches of the same tree; otherwise, he would not have allowed Bei Bei to join the Tang Sect in the original story.

Mu Tianyi thought that was not bad either.

Mu En's visit to the Tang Sect was actually just to offer condolences, as this task had previously always been handled by his disciple Yan Shaozhe.

He hadn't had the chance to send anyone this year, so since he was already out, he decided to make the trip himself.

Though, it made sense.

If the Tang Sect didn't have Shrek Academy supporting them from behind, it would have collapsed long ago.

Upon arriving at the Tang Sect, the first thing Mu Tianyi saw were the two towering statues standing in the center of the courtyard.

They were identical to the two statues inside Shrek Academy.

One was the Tang Sect Master Tang San, and the other was his wife Xiao Wu.

Looking at those two stone statues, Mu Tianyi couldn't help but want to laugh.

You all treat Third Brother as a beacon of light, but it's a pity that your Third Brother doesn't even care about you.

First, he castrated the Tang Sect's unique skills, and after his daughter descended to the mortal realm, because Soul Tool were doing better than hidden weapons, he even secretly slapped a chastity lock on her.

The greatest clown in history is none other than the successive Tang Sect Masters.

Just as Mu Tianyi was lost in his wild thoughts, Mu En had already begun conversing with the current Tang Sect Master.

Of course, the Tang Sect Master did not know Mu En's true identity.

Mu En made an excuse that Yan Shaozhe was busy during this period, so he had entrusted him to come and discuss the details.

To this, the Tang Sect Master expressed his understanding.

Just kidding, this was his golden benefactor; the entire Tang Sect relied on Shrek Academy to survive.

Consequently, this Tang Sect Master even hosted a banquet for the occasion.

At this banquet, Mu Tianyi also saw his future sister-in-law, Tang Ya.

"Mr. Mu, who is this young friend?"

Mu Tianyi had been following by Mu En's side the whole time, which was already eye-catching, and with that face of his, it was hard for the Tang Sect Master not to notice him.

Taking advantage of a lull in the banquet, he raised his wine glass and spoke with a smile.

Mu En set down his glass, his tone casual: "Sect Master Tang, please don't mind him. This is the descendant of an elder from the academy, here with me to see the world."

He tilted his head to look at Mu Tianyi. "Tianyi, greet Sect Master Tang."

Mu Tianyi stood up, bowed slightly, and spoke in a tone neither servile nor overbearing: "Mu Tianyi greets Sect Master Tang and all the seniors present."

"No need for such formalities, young friend." The Tang Sect Master waved his hand, smiling as he looked Mu Tianyi up and down.

"Since you have come to the Tang Sect with Mr. Mu, you are our honored guest."

His gaze shifted to an empty seat below, and after a moment of thought, he beckoned: "Ya'er, you have nothing to do right now, why don't you go and get acquainted with this young friend."

"Our Tang Sect has always been one with Shrek Academy; you young people should interact more so that you can look out for each other in the future."
