Yu Xiaogang's Foolish Dream: Teaching Ning Xian?!

Snow Empress stood before the Ice Palace.

The snowflake Divine Seal between her brows slowly revolved, and sacred heavenly snow blanketed the ice fields for ten thousand miles.

She raised her right hand.

The Heavenly Frost Sword trembled gently in her palm, and the snowflake divine runes on its blade lit up one by one.

Ice Empress hurried to her side, her emerald hair streaming behind her in the cold wind.

She looked at the Divine Seal between Snow Empress's brows, the delight in her eyes never fading.

"Sister Snow, you've really become a god."

"I merely possess God Level combat power."

Snow Empress lowered her gaze to the Heavenly Frost Sword in her palm.

"This divine position is incomplete."

"An incomplete divine position can still unleash God Level power?"

Ice Empress looked up at the heavens.

"Rewards from the Heavenly Dao really can't be judged by ordinary standards."

Golden words still hovered upon the Sky Screen.

[The Lord of the Far North Divine Seat does not affect the acquisition of other divine positions in the future.]

[Snow Empress may still undertake God Trials and forge a true divine position in the future.]

[If she acquires a complete divine position, the Lord of the Far North Divine Seat will merge with it.]

[Divine positions stack, enhancing divine authority.]

The entire continent fell silent once more.

The next instant, comments flooded the Sky Screen.

[It won't affect her becoming a god later?]

[Snow Empress already has God Level combat power, and she can keep acquiring divine positions in the future?]

[This special divine position actually isn't the end of the road!]

[Divine positions can even stack?]

[The Heavenly Dao's rewards are far too terrifying!]

[With this reward, Snow Empress will at least be able to become a First-Level God in the future!]

The Far North.

Ice Empress raised her scorpion tail and pointed at the words in the heavens.

"You can still go on to become a god?"

Snow Empress nodded gently.

"This divine position is connected to the essence of the Far North."

"As long as the Far North is not destroyed, I can use it to cultivate."

"If I obtain a complete divine position in the future, I can merge the two kinds of divine authority."

Ice Empress's emerald eyes lit up.

"Then won't you become even stronger than you are now?"

"In theory."

Snow Empress gripped the Heavenly Frost Sword.

"But a divine position isn't everything when it comes to power."

"To truly control two kinds of divine authority, I will still need to build a sufficient foundation."

Ice Empress looked at the Divine Seal between her brows, still filled with joy.

They had once searched everywhere for ways to survive their heavenly tribulations.

Now, Snow Empress had not only successfully broken through to eight hundred thousand years, but had also obtained a divine position.

More importantly, this divine position had not restricted Snow Empress's future path.

"This is wonderful."

Ice Empress raised her hand and patted Snow Empress's shoulder.

"Now you can keep cultivating."

"When you truly become a god, I'll find a way to keep up with you too."

Snow Empress turned to look at her and said earnestly:

"You can obtain a divine position too."

Ice Empress froze for a moment.

"Me?"

"You possess ultimate ice."

Snow Empress said:

"As long as you find a path that suits you, becoming a god isn't necessarily impossible."

Ice Empress looked at the Divine Seal on the Sky Screen and raised a hand to touch her scorpion tail.

She had never imagined that a day would come when she, too, could touch God Level power.

But Snow Empress had already received a reward from the Heavenly Dao.

She and Snow Empress had performed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill together.

As long as they both kept cultivating, they might yet carve out a path belonging to the Far North.

Ice Empress looked at Snow Empress again.

"Then let's cultivate together."

"All right."

Snow Empress nodded.

Outside the Ice Palace, the soul beasts of the Far North lowered their heads once more.

"Congratulations, Snow Empress!"

"Congratulations, Lord of the Far North!"

The divine figure of ice and snow stood amid ten thousand miles of wind and snow.

Holding the Heavenly Frost Sword, Snow Empress raised her head and looked toward Sunset Forest.

"Ning Xian."

"Did you see?"

Her gaze fell upon the edge of the Sky Screen.

"I already have the strength to keep going."

Spirit City.

Before the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong stood upon the high platform.

She watched the snowflake Divine Seal on the Sky Screen as the Rakshasa Demon Halberd in her hand flickered incessantly.

A special divine position.

No God Trials required.

Unbound by the Divine Realm.

Within the Far North, she could unleash God Level combat power.

Even outside the Far North, she could remain at the demigod level.

Such a reward had already exceeded her assessment of the Heavenly Dao.

Bibi Dong raised her head.

"The Heavenly Dao can even bestow divine positions."

After obtaining the Million-Year Soul Ring, her strength had already increased considerably.

But there was still a gap between her and true God Level power.

Now, with just one reward from the Heavenly Dao, Snow Empress had crossed that threshold.

What concerned her even more was that the Lord of the Far North Divine Seat would not affect Snow Empress's ability to continue on to godhood.

That meant Snow Empress had a higher ceiling for the future.

"A divine position..."

Bibi Dong looked at the Rakshasa Demon Halberd.

She herself had already undertaken the Rakshasa God Trial.

As long as she completed every trial, she could inherit the Rakshasa Godhood.

But compared with an actual divine position, the God Trial process remained long.

Snow Empress, however, had received a special divine position outright.

A trace of envy flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.

Soon, that emotion turned into displeasure.

"Why didn't the Heavenly Dao give me a reward like that?"

She tightened her grip on the Rakshasa Demon Halberd.

If she could also obtain a special divine position, Spirit Hall would have a true god.

When that time came, the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and every sect on the continent could only bow at Spirit Hall's feet.

Inside the Papal Palace.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were also watching the Sky Screen.

Chrysanthemum Douluo said softly:

"Your Holiness, Snow Empress now possesses God Level combat power."

"Even if she leaves the Far North, her strength won't drop very much."

Ghost Douluo picked up where he left off.

"If she obtains a complete divine position in the future, she may well become the most powerful being beneath the Divine Realm."

Bibi Dong withdrew her gaze.

"Keep watching the ranking."

"Since the Heavenly Dao can bestow special divine positions, the rewards to come will only be more astonishing."

She looked at Snow Empress on the Sky Screen.

"I would like to see just what those ranked above her can obtain."

Star Dou Great Forest.

Beside the Lake of Life.

Di Tian stood on the lake's surface.

As he watched the God Level aura coming from the Far North, intense longing welled up in his golden eyes.

A divine position.

That was something he had pursued for countless years.

Once soul beasts cultivated to a million years, they had a chance to attempt a breakthrough to god level.

But that path offered almost no possibility of success.

He bore the black-eyed golden dragon king bloodline.

He possessed the Dragon God's power.

Even so, Di Tian could not guarantee that he could survive the million-year heavenly tribulation.

Now, with nothing but a reward from the Heavenly Dao, Snow Empress possessed God Level combat power.

This showed Di Tian another path.

"A divine position."

Di Tian murmured to himself.

"Soul beasts can possess divine positions too."

Xiong Jun stood beside him and looked up at Di Tian.

"Di Tian, you can obtain a divine position too."

Di Tian did not answer.

His gaze remained fixed on the heavens.

If the Heavenly Dao Ranking continued to be revealed, could he receive a reward too?

If he obtained a divine position suited to the Black-Eyed Golden Dragon King, he could truly touch the God Level realm.

Then he would no longer have to struggle to hold on by relying on the Dragon God Claw and his bloodline power.

Nor would he have to calculate how much longer he could live before each heavenly tribulation arrived.

Di Tian slowly clenched his hand.

Black dragon scales emerged between his fingers.

"I've already waited far too long."

The Myriad Demon King stood by the lake, his branches and leaves swaying gently.

"Boss, you still have some time before you reach a million years."

"What of it?"

Di Tian looked at him.

"Snow Empress obtained a divine position at seven hundred thousand years."

"At eight hundred and ninety thousand years, am I still not qualified?"

Xiong Jun and Bi Ji fell silent at the same time.

They both knew Di Tian's obsession with becoming a god all too well.

Ever since the Dragon God's era ended, Soul Beasts had lost their truly God Level powerhouses.

Di Tian bore too many burdens.

He wanted to break through the million-year mark.

He also wanted Soul Beasts to regain the right to stand at the continent's pinnacle.

Gu Yuena stood at the center of the Lake of Life.

Her long silver dress trailed over the lake's surface, and her purple eyes reflected the divine light from the Far North.

"The Lord of the Far North Divine Seat is an opportunity the Heavenly Dao bestowed upon Snow Empress."

"Di Tian, you need not envy her."

Di Tian turned to look at her.

"My lord, can Soul Beasts truly become gods?"

"Yes."

Gu Yuena answered quite directly.

"With enough strength, Soul Beasts can likewise step into the God Level."

Di Tian fell silent for a moment.

"Then I am willing to give everything."

Gu Yuena looked at him.

"You have already given a great deal."

Di Tian lowered his head.

"It is still not enough."

He raised his head and looked toward the Sky Screen.

"As long as Soul Beasts can have gods again, I am willing to keep waiting."

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

On the mountain path.

The Shrek group stood before an empty valley.

The Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda that had once stood here had vanished.

Ma Hongjun looked at the level ground, his expression growing uglier by the moment.

"The Ancient Tower really was taken away?"

The academy student in front of them nodded.

"Just a short while ago."

"That senior, Ning Xian, took the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda away."

"By the time the academy's retainers arrived, it was already too late to stop him."

Oscar frowned and asked:

"What about the training slots we applied for earlier?"

"The Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda is gone. Naturally, the slots are void."

Ma Hongjun immediately looked at Yu Xiaogang.

"Grandmaster, what do we do?"

Yu Xiaogang stood beside the tower's foundation.

His gaze fell on the remaining Xuanhuang patterns, his expression extremely ugly.

To prepare for this visit to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he had contacted Qin Ming in advance.

Shrek Academy had also planned to use the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda to raise everyone's Soul Power.

Yet they had only just arrived when Ning Xian took the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda away.

This outcome had completely disrupted his arrangements.

"Ning Xian."

Yu Xiaogang spoke the name.

He had already seen Ning Xian on the Sky Screen earlier.

The man had helped Snow Empress and Ice Empress work out a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and could even help Snow Empress comprehend a God-Level Soul Skill.

Yu Xiaogang admitted that Ning Xian was extremely powerful.

Yet he could not accept the man taking the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda away.

This Ancient Tower was tied to the foundation of cultivation at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The many Soul Masters the academy trained each year had all benefited from the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda.

Ning Xian had simply taken it away because the Ancient Tower had once belonged to him.

In Yu Xiaogang's eyes, this was far too selfish.

"How could he do this?"

Ma Hongjun immediately said:

"Exactly."

"We traveled all this way to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, only to miss even seeing the tower."

"He's already so strong. Why couldn't he leave the tower here?"

Ning Rongrong stood at the back of the group.

Hearing these words, she raised her head and looked at Ma Hongjun.

"That tower belonged to Ning Xian in the first place."

Ma Hongjun turned around.

"Rongrong, we know the Ancient Tower has a connection to him."

"But he already left it at Heaven Dou Royal Academy for hundreds of years."

"The academy has used it for so many years. Couldn't he at least have said something before taking it away?"

Ning Rongrong looked at him.

"Why should he have to report to anyone about his own belongings?"

Ma Hongjun opened his mouth.

Dai Mubai said with a dark expression:

"You can't put it that way."

"The Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda remained at the academy for hundreds of years. It became part of Heaven Dou Royal Academy long ago."

"By simply taking the Ancient Tower away, Ning Xian has effectively destroyed the academy's cultivation foundation."

Ning Rongrong frowned slightly.

"That still means the academy was occupying his property."

"You have no right to demand that he keep leaving it here."

Tang San glanced at her.

"Ning Xian saved you, so of course you'll speak up for him."

Ning Rongrong did not answer.

She clasped the Ancient Bronze Small Tower tucked inside her clothing.

Mystic Yellow Radiance flowed over the tower, as though responding to an aura far away.

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, gazing deep into the mountains.

He did not join Ning Rongrong and Tang San's argument.

In his view, Ning Xian might have had another reason for taking the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda away.

It was just that the man was unwilling to communicate with Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

"Let's see Qin Ming first."

Yu Xiaogang turned around.

"Although the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda has been taken away, Heaven Dou Royal Academy still has a Mimicry Training Ground."

"As long as we can enter the academy, we can still improve our Soul Power."

Flender nodded.

"Then let's handle enrollment first."

The Shrek group continued along the mountain path.

Ma Hongjun glanced back at the empty valley.

"He'd better hope he never falls into my hands."

Dai Mubai glanced at him.

"You can't even beat the academy's retainers, and you want to go after Ning Xian?"

Ma Hongjun immediately shut his mouth.

He recalled Ning Xian suppressing a Soul Engineer with a raised hand on the Sky Screen, then helping Snow Empress obtain a God-Level Soul Skill, and still felt deeply stifled.

Oscar also said quietly:

"If the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda were still here, our Soul Power would definitely improve a lot."

"Now Ning Xian has ruined it all."

Ning Rongrong stopped.

She turned to look at them.

"You wanted to enter the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda to cultivate."

"How does Ning Xian taking back his own property amount to ruining your opportunity?"

Oscar's expression shifted.

Tang San said in a low voice:

"Rongrong, everyone just feels it's a pity."

"A pity?"

Ning Rongrong looked at him.

"You just didn't get any benefits."

Tang San did not answer immediately.

Yu Xiaogang turned his head.

"Rongrong."

"Ning Xian is powerful, but he acted without considering the consequences."

"There are karmic ties between Heaven Dou Royal Academy and him."

"If he is willing to listen to my theories, I can persuade him to leave the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda here again."

Ning Rongrong looked at Yu Xiaogang.

"You're going to persuade him?"

"Indeed."

Yu Xiaogang raised his chin.

"Every powerhouse must consider the impact their actions have on the continent."

"If the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda remains at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, it can help countless Soul Masters cultivate."

"If Ning Xian understood this, he would not insist on taking it away."

Ma Hongjun immediately said:

"Grandmaster is right."

"That Ning Xian may be formidable, but he might not understand the importance of the academy."

Dai Mubai nodded as well.

"If Grandmaster steps forward, he might show him some respect."

Ning Rongrong looked at Yu Xiaogang.

"Do you know him?"

Yu Xiaogang froze.

"I've never met him before."

"Then what makes you think he'll listen to you?"

Yu Xiaogang frowned.

"Even the strong need reason."

"I have spent years researching my theories. They can analyze the principles governing the cultivation of Soul Masters and Martial Souls."

"As long as I explain the advantages and disadvantages clearly, Ning Xian will naturally understand."

Ning Rongrong did not argue any further.

She simply found Yu Xiaogang's thinking utterly laughable.

Ning Xian had not even taken Heaven Dou Royal Academy's retainers seriously.

Why would he hand over the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda again because of a few words?

Yet Yu Xiaogang had already begun considering what to say when he met Ning Xian.

In his view, although Ning Xian was powerful, he might not truly understand the situation on the continent.

As long as he clearly explained the Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda's importance to the Soul Master World, then pointed out the impact of the man taking the Ancient Tower away.

Ning Xian ought to show him some respect.

Moreover, he was Shrek Academy's Grandmaster.

In the field of Soul Master theory, few people on the entire continent could compare to him.

"Once we meet Ning Xian, I will speak with him personally."

Yu Xiaogang looked deep into the mountains.

"I believe he will make the right choice."

Ning Rongrong watched his retreating figure without a word.

The Ancient Bronze Small Tower in her palm lit up once more.
