Secrets of the Sun and Moon, Great King Na'er's Wisdom!

Ten thousand years ago, the Douluo Continent was defined by the tripartite balance of the four great empires and the transcendent status of Shrek Academy.

With the advancement of soul-guide technology, the Sun-Moon Empire's national strength gradually surpassed that of the original three empires. Just then, a ruthless monarch, Xu Tianran, rose to power in the Sun-Moon Empire and launched a war against the original three.

The result was that the Dou Ling Empire was the first to be wiped out in a lightning war, followed closely by the Heaven Dou Empire, leaving only the Star Luo Empire struggling to hold on.

Yet, the most ironic twist of all was that the child born to the Sun-Moon Empire's commander, the War God Empress Ju Zi, was not of the Sun-Moon Imperial bloodline, but was the son of the Spirit Pagoda's founder, Huo Yuhao.

At the end of the war, Huo Yuhao turned the tide, and the Sun-Moon Empire withdrew its forces. By then, Xu Tianran was already dead, Huo Yuhao's son had long been established as the crown prince, and the military power of the Sun-Moon Empire was firmly held in Ju Zi's hands.

"Hahaha, one can't put it entirely that way. When the Sun-Moon Empire's emperor at the time, Xu Tianran, ascended the throne, he slaughtered quite a few of his own brothers. The subsequent royal upheaval was only to be expected."

Leng Yaozhu shook her head slightly and chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye and Han Tianyi's expressions turned wistful; every emperor of the Sun-Moon Empire back then had killed their way to the throne. Slaughtering brothers had almost become a traditional custom.

Later on, because the Sun-Moon crown prince was Huo Yuhao's son, combined with the influence of Shrek Academy—which had ties to Huo Yuhao—the rising Tang Sect, and various other unspeakable reasons, the true Sun-Moon Imperial family gradually vanished from the public eye.

Even after the Sun-Moon Empire eventually unified the Douluo Continent and shifted to a federal system, members of the Xu family rarely appeared. The three supreme martial souls they had inherited gradually declined, and as for the reason, the major powers currently in control of the Federation knew it well.

"But Tower Master Leng, why do you bring this up now?"

Mu Ye's eyes narrowed with curiosity as he asked in a deep voice.

"As I said before, this Tower Master bears no ill will. The grudges of ten thousand years ago cannot affect the present. Your sect is currently in ruins, and I am willing to provide support. I only hope that when the Body Sect prospers in the future, you will be willing to forge a friendship with my Phoenix Clan."

Leng Yaozhu deliberated for a moment before laying her intentions on the table. Her Phoenix Clan might appear powerful now, but they lacked a leader among the new generation, and her younger sister was...

Based on Jiang Xiu's talent, Leng Yaozhu wanted to invest early. After all, the world wasn't just about fighting and killing; it was about human relationships and worldly wisdom. Furthermore, individual strength could indeed transcend many things.

Even if the investment failed, given the current resources of her Phoenix Clan, it would be nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

"Very well, it's a deal."

After some thought, Han Tianyi and Mu Ye exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

Their Body Sect was currently penniless; no matter how they looked at it, they wouldn't lose out.

"By the way, Tower Master Leng, I forgot to mention: I am merely one of Xiao Xiu's masters. His primary master is the commander of the Western Legion, Dong Zi'an."

Finally, perhaps feeling that the Body Sect's current weight wasn't enough, Mu Ye brought up Dong Zi'an directly.

"Oh? It seems the Phoenix Clan will truly gain a powerful ally in the future."

Upon hearing this, a flash of pleasant surprise crossed Leng Yaozhu's beautiful eyes.

The Qiangu family, which currently controlled the Spirit Pagoda, had been secretly weakening her power as vice tower master, and Qiangu Dongfeng had even been harboring ulterior motives against her.

The reason the Qiangu family was so formidable, aside from the many experts within their own ranks, was their numerous alliances within the Federation. If she could befriend Jiang Xiu, she might be able to win over the behemoth that was the Western Legion.

Jiang Xiu, you really are a lucky star for this Tower Master.

Leng Yaozhu's red lips curled into a cold, alluring smile as she whispered to herself.

"To show my sincerity, the Phoenix Clan owns an entire street in Shrek City. I will gift it to the Body Sect for free so you can establish your sect's headquarters."

Since she had made her decision, the bold Leng Yaozhu spoke immediately, producing a pre-prepared contract and handing it to Mu Ye.

It was as if she had been certain of today's outcome all along.

"Tower Master Leng, you are a person of your word."

Mu Ye nodded slightly, accepting the contract with appreciation.

To be able to lead the Phoenix Clan, Leng Yaozhu possessed both great boldness and strength.

Seeing the matter settled, Han Tianyi felt a surge of joy, as if the heavens were favoring their Body Sect. Ever since Jiang Xiu arrived, everything had been moving in a positive direction.

"Since this is settled, let's see how Xiao Xiu and Na'er are doing."

Han Tianyi pointed to the soul-guide screen on the wall, reminding them.

"Yes, yes, let's watch Xiao Xiu and Na'er. I wonder what Na'er's first spirit soul is?"

"That girl... yesterday, after seeing Xiao Xiu fuse with an Indomitable Spirit Soul, she insisted on trying it herself and fused with one. She really doesn't let one worry less."

Leng Yaozhu sounded as if she were complaining, but her tone was full of smiles and a hint of pride, as if to say Na'er was no less capable than Jiang Xiu.

Na'er... what a good girl.

Looking at the graceful Na'er on the screen, a thought emerged in Mu Ye's mind, and his heart immediately became active.

Inside the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.

Ancient trees towered into the sky, lush greenery was everywhere, the sky was a deep blue, and the fresh air was invigorating. From the distance, ethereal bird calls drifted over from time to time.

Just then, the space rippled slightly, and the figures of Na'er and Jiang Xiu appeared.

"Let's go, and begin our journey of improvement."

A bright light flickered in Na'er's beautiful eyes. With a wave of her slender hand, endless silver radiance converged, and a long, silver-white spear appeared. The spear was covered in miraculous dragon patterns, with a touch of purple at the end. The moment it appeared, the surrounding elemental fluctuations began to ripple.

So this is the divine weapon, the Silver Dragon Spear.

Jiang Xiu's eyes narrowed as he assessed it inwardly. The Golden Dragon Spear was in Tang Wulin's hands, while this Silver Dragon Spear was in Na'er's.

"Mm, let's go."

Jiang Xiu summoned the Shadow Monarch to follow at his side before heading toward the forest ahead.

Within the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform, after killing a spirit beast, one-tenth of the beast's energy would be used to increase the age of one's spirit ring. For instance, if Jiang Xiu killed a hundred-year spirit beast, his first spirit ring would increase in age by ten years.

"Little Xiu, what is your opinion on the spirit beast clan?"

Na'er walked with light, nimble steps beside Jiang Xiu, pointing toward a ten-year Flowery Squirrel that had appeared before them as she probed for his thoughts.

Given her own strength, it was naturally difficult to achieve the revival of spirit beasts in the human world, so she needed helpers. She felt that the Jiang Xiu before her would be perfect.

He was young and inexperienced; with her, Great King Na'er's, world-shaking wisdom, she could absolutely trick him into joining her.

"What 'Little Xiu'? Call me Brother Xiu."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiu's mouth twitched. He straightened his handsome face and spoke in a stern tone.

Although he did not know what this Little Silver Dragon King, Na'er, was planning, it was clear she had designs on him. After all, she might as well have had the words "come into my bowl" written across her little face.

"Brother Xiu?!"

Upon hearing this, Na'er's beautiful eyes widened instantly. She was the Silver Dragon King, the co-ruler of all spirit beasts, a powerhouse leading them toward revival! To think she was now being asked to call a human child "brother"—how infuriating!

But before Na'er could retort, the sound of howling wolves erupted all around them. A pack of ferocious Gale Demon Wolves was charging toward them from the distance, radiating killing intent. The pack consisted of a mix of hundred-year and ten-year beasts, numbering nearly thirty in total.

"Hey! See those Gale Demon Wolves? Whoever kills more becomes the boss from now on, how about it?"

Na'er's eyes lit up as she brandished her spear.

"Sure."

Jiang Xiu's gaze flickered with a hint of amusement. If Gu Yue were to come to the Spirit Pagoda in the future and discover that Na'er had become his underling, he wondered what her expression would be.

Furthermore, Jiang Xiu's future plans already included both Gu Yue and Na'er; after all, they would be tremendous assets in the days to come.

"Whoosh!"

Darkness surged around Jiang Xiu's body as he lunged forward instantly with the Shadow Monarch.

"Hmph, human brat, in the future, you shall belong under the command of Great King Na'er."

Na'er whispered to herself, then swept her spear horizontally and followed closely behind.

"This wager—the advantage is mine!"
