Spirit Pagoda! Soul Tool Academy!
The border of the Star Luo Empire receded outside the carriage window, and the hills were once again replaced by the exquisite ridges of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Zhu Zhuqing lifted the carriage curtain, and the morning breeze carrying the fragrance of wheat ears wafted in, making her cat ears twitch slightly.
"We're almost home," she whispered.
Ye Hua smiled, "Brother Dai is quite hospitable, but it must be tough on the imperial kitchen chefs."
In contrast to the relaxed atmosphere of the other two carriages, Tang Yuehua's carriage was filled with a somber mood.
Tang San sat in the corner, his hair disheveled.
Those who know him will think he's Tang San; those who don't will think he's some water ghost that escaped!
Tang Yuehua sat opposite him and sighed upon seeing this.
"The Xiao San." Tang Yuehua put down the book in her hand.
Tang San didn't even lift his eyelids.
"I know you're unwilling," Tang Yuehua patiently comforted her, "But the Thunder God Spear shouldn't be forced in the first place."
"The Divine Inheritance depends on fate. You are still young and have a long road ahead of you. There will always be other opportunities in the future."
Tang San's lips twitched. "Auntie, you don't need to comfort me."
Tang Yuehua frowned. "How old are you? Even if you're lifeless?"
"You still have the Clear Sky Hammer, the Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline, and the Divine Slaughter's Domain!"
"As long as you don't compare yourself to Ye Hua, you're still a genius!"
"As long as you don't go against him, your life will be so easy!"
"Auntie! Please stop talking!" Tang San covered his head.
Seeing that he wouldn't listen, Tang Yuehua didn't say anything more.
The group arrived at Heaven Dou City in the afternoon.
Thanks to the approaching autumn, the weather is not too hot.
The ceremonial guards were already lined up on the official road outside the city gate.
To greet them was none other than Prince Xue Xing!
"Night Alliance Leader!" Prince Xue Xing waved from afar, "You must have had a long journey!"
"I have been waiting here for a long time on the orders of my imperial brother!"
Ye Hua jumped down from the carriage, reached out and shook hands with him, "Your Highness is too kind. It's just a visit to the Star Luo Empire, what trouble could it be?"
Prince Xue Xing smiled and led the way, saying, "The customs and culture of the Star Luo Empire are different from those of Heaven Dou. The food and lodging may not suit your taste."
"Your Majesty has specially arranged this banquet to welcome you and help you clear your way home."
"Thank you for your trouble." Ye Hua nodded.
"Furthermore," Prince Xue Xing glanced around, "The results of the Balak Kingdom's handling of the matter are out."
"The country's name is abolished, and its territory is divided in two. The northern part will be directly governed by the Empire, while the southern part will be allocated to you as your territory."
As he spoke, he took out a bright yellow silk cloth from his sleeve.
Ye Hua, and it turned out to be a formal investiture document!
That's more than enough sincerity!
The territory's size has increased several times over!
"I will accept this generous gift."
Ye Hua didn't stand on ceremony and put the silk into his Azure Jade Bracelet.
Prince Xue Xing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had accepted the gift.
"Actually, it should have been His Highness the Crown Prince who greeted them."
"But Your Highness is unwell, so I will take your place."
Ye Hua nodded, not paying any attention.
Perhaps something happened at the Spirit Hall that delayed her.
Even after sitting down at the welcoming banquet, Ye Hua still didn't see Xue Qinghe.
"Night Alliance Leader, please have a seat," Xue Ye gestured, "You weren't neglected on your trip to the Star Luo Empire, were you?"
Ye Hua shrugged. "No, Dai Weisi is very enthusiastic."
He knew that Tang Yuehua had already sent an urgent letter back regarding the Star Luo Empire.
But he didn't say anything, and waited to see the Xue Ye's reaction.
As expected, upon hearing this, Xue Ye could no longer remain seated.
He put down his wine glass and said solemnly, "Night Alliance Leader, I also have a small gift to share."
"Though not as wondrous as the gifts from the Star Luo Empire, they are still treasures passed down through generations."
He nodded to the guard beside him.
The guard understood, presented the jade-inlaid brocade box with both hands, and bowed to offer it to Ye Hua.
The moment the lid was lifted, a brilliant blue light shone out, and it even seemed to carry the scent of a sea breeze!
Inside the box lay a palm-sized triangular pyramidal crystal, completely translucent!
The light flowed between the facets, exuding a mysterious yet tranquil aura!
Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!!!
Ye Hua was somewhat surprised.
So generous!
He had thought he would have to explain himself a lot more!
Sensing the new Divine Relic, the Ice God's Tear, the Extreme Speed Sacred Medal, and the Thunder God Spear all showed fluctuations.
Ye Hua narrowed his eyes slightly and took out the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
[bite--]
[Host detected to have acquired the Sea God Inheritance item, "Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud"]
[Sea God: An ancient deity who governs the origin of the ocean. First-Level God in the Divine Realm, whose legacy remains on the continent, awaiting only the most outstanding talents.]
[Current holding status: Not enabled]
He truly is the Sea God!
Ye Hua carefully examined the details, but suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
Without warning or reason.
It was a sudden, overwhelming feeling in my heart!
Ye Hua suspiciously examined the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, trying to find out what was going on.
Aside from a small amount of residual divine power from the Sea God, there was nothing strange about it.
Ye Hua kept a close watch on things.
[bite--]
[Quest "Divine Relic" Completed]
[Rewards being distributed...]
[The Divine Artifact Spirit Pagoda can be deployed at any time]
[Note: The Spirit Pagoda can be placed anywhere and has the effect of communicating between the living and the dead, guiding Soul Spirit, and enhancing spiritual intelligence.]
[After Soul Beast dies, its soul can be preserved in this tower, awaiting a stable soul body before being reborn Soul Spirit.]
Upon hearing this, Ye Hua finally smiled.
When the Xue Ye saw his smile, his anxious heart settled down.
He stroked his beard. "Night Alliance Leader, there's no need to worry. It's better to hand over these treasures to someone who can use them than to leave them gathering dust in the vault!"
"Your Majesty has gone to great lengths." Ye Hua put away the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and changed the subject.
"However, speaking of which, I have some new ideas since returning from the Star Luo Empire, and I would like to ask Your Majesty for your consideration."
Xue Ye, intrigued, exclaimed, "Oh? Tell me quickly!"
"I want to start a school," Ye Hua said without changing his expression, "To teach the creation of Soul Tool."
"Great! I grant the imperial decree! Full support!" Xue Ye was overjoyed.
Currently, the market for combat Soul Tool is completely monopolized by the Long Night Alliance and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The Three-Eyed Icefire Guns and the Zhuge Soul Tool Crossbow are sold out!
Now that Ye Hua is willing to share his technology, I couldn't be happier!
"Your Majesty," Ye Hua took a sip of wine, "You may recommend members of the royal family and noble families as recommended students, and I will give them priority in enrollment."
This can be considered a reciprocal gesture.
Of course, it could also divide the royal family and nobility.
"That's wonderful!" Xue Ye exclaimed in delight, immediately writing and stamping an imperial edict.
In this way, he can use the recommended student quota to put a stop to disobedient nobles!
Ye Hua took the silk scroll, confirmed its accuracy, and put it away. "There is one more matter that needs to be discussed with His Majesty."
"You said."
"I plan to fully open up the Soul Spirit System," Ye Hua said calmly. "The previous rumors are absolutely unbelievable."
Xue Ye was stunned, both amused and exasperated. "In your eyes, am I a foolish and incompetent ruler who can't distinguish right from wrong?"
"The Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire, in collusion with the Lower Four Sects, caused trouble, assassinated King Balak Kingdom, impersonated him, and instigated a civil war!"
"The matter is quite clear!"
He knew it perfectly well.
No matter how quickly Soul Spirit can increase its strength, ultimately it still depends on the Soul Master's own cultivation.
But Soul Tool are different; they can directly arm an army!
If others are willing to share the Soul Tool market, why should he cling to the Soul Spirit?
"Your Majesty is wise." Ye Hua raised his cup and clinked it with Xue Ye's across the distance.
After several rounds of drinks, the banquet ended.
Tang Yuehua took Xue Ke back to the Moonlight Pavilion.
Ye Hua led the girls back to the villa.
The moon had risen high in the sky, and the night was deep.
But after settling the girls in and opening the bedroom door, he was immediately stunned.
Two figures were already waiting there!
"Why are you here?" Ye Hua asked in surprise.
