Divine Seal stopped in front of the tower shadow.
A narrow Portal appeared immediately.
What is behind the door is not unfamiliar mountains and rivers, nor is it an unseen world.
Ning Xian raised his hand, and his fingertips gently landed on the edge of Portal.
The scene inside the door gradually became clearer.
Dugu Yan saw the road outside Heaven Dou City and also saw the city gate in the distance.
That's where they passed.
Portal did not continue to expand outward.
Pedestrians outside the city went to and from each other, and carriages moved slowly along the road.
They cannot see the door and are not affected by the power within it.
Ning Xian raised his hand, and Portal immediately closed it.
Dugu Yan looked at the disappearing scene.
"If you want to go back to the Douluo Continent in the future, can you go directly from the tower?"
"Okay."
"Can people from outside come in through this door?"
"Not without my permission."
She nodded and pushed the tea cup closer to Ning Xian's hand.
"It's convenient."
Ning Xian picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Xuanhuang Divine Seal on Ancient Scroll gradually converges.
The three golden lights each fell into the tower and did not stay in the small courtyard.
Begonia Tree is still spreading its branches and leaves.
Not a drop of tea spilled on Stone Table.
Dugu Yan looked at Ning Xian's palm.
"Senior, have you become stronger after receiving the reward?"
"The foundation of the tower is more complete."
"What about your power?"
"No change."
She tilted her head slightly.
"Golden Ranking gave you so many things, but it didn't make you stronger?"
"The rewards it gives can make the evolution of the realms in the tower more stable, and also allow the realm gates to operate more clearly."
Ning Xian Put down the tea cup.
"I don't need these rewards to improve myself."
Dugu Yan thought about it seriously.
"So these rewards are more useful to the world in the tower."
"You could say that."
She looked at Begonia Tree.
The morning breeze passes through the branches and leaves, and the flower buds sway gently.
She raised her hand to pick up a leaf that fell on Stone Table and put it in her palm.
"Then when I go to the tower in the future, I can see it grow up slowly."
"Hmm."
"When it blooms, I will take you to see it together."
"Okay."
Dugu Yan put the leaf next to Ning Xian's hand, then picked up Celadon Gourd and arranged the laces for him.
On Ancient Scroll, the last line of text appears.
[Rewards have been distributed.]
[Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda source completion.]
[All realms in the tower gain the basis for evolution.]
[Xuanhuang Realm Gate condensed.]
[Comprehensive combat power increased.]
[Ranking unchanged.]
Dugu Yan After reading the last line, he looked up at the names on the list.
Ning Xian still ranks first.
His name was not moved for the award.
The shadow of the tower faded in his palm, and Mystic Yellow Radiance was also taken back.
The golden Ancient Scroll on Firmament begins to close.
Dugu Yan stood up and walked towards the open space in the courtyard again.
She stopped four steps away and looked back at Ning Xian next to Stone Table.
"Senior, let me practice again."
Ning Xian picked up the tea cup.
"Go ahead."
She released Fifth Soul Skill.
The dark green poisonous mist spread out in front of her and stopped steadily within four steps.
She raised her wrist and retracted the poisonous mist bit by bit.
Begonia Tree in the shadow of the tower is still growing.
Begonia Tree in the courtyard also dropped a new leaf.
Dugu Yan put away Soul Ring, walked back, picked up the leaf, and placed it next to Ning Xian's tea cup.
"Keep this piece for me too."
Ning Xian picked up Celadon Gourd and pressed the corner of the blade.
She sat next to him and readjusted the ribbon around her waist.
On Firmament, God King Ranking has slowly closed.
Ning Xian's name remains at the top.
In the small courtyard, the tea is still warm and the branches and leaves of the crabapple are still swaying.
The afternoon sunlight slants into East Courtyard.
Dugu Yan collected the dishes and returned to Begonia Tree.
The wooden box on Stone Table is still in its original place.
She opened the lid of the box and took a look at the white paper laid out inside.
"Senior, what are you doing this afternoon?"
Ning Xian is holding a tea cup.
"As you wish."
Dugu Yan thought for a while and closed the wooden box.
"Then I'll go practice Soul Skill."
"Have you finished practicing?"
"Have tea with your seniors after practice."
She walked towards the open space, the hem of her light green skirt swaying gently with her steps.
The long hair held by a white jade hairpin hung down her back, swaying slightly in the wind.
Fifth Soul Ring lights up.
Dark green poisonous mist spread out from her palm and stopped steadily four steps away.
The edges of the mist were neatly gathered together, not deviating towards the flower pots or approaching the wells.
She maintained it for a moment before slowly closing it.
The poisonous mist condensed into a ball, returned to the top of the palm, and then dispersed.
Dugu Yan turned around.
"Senior, you didn't go out of bounds."
"Hmm."
She walked back, sat down next to Ning Xian, and reached out to pick up the teapot.
First, he added some tea for him, and then poured himself a cup.
The tea was warm in her mouth, and she took two sips slowly before putting the cup down.
"Is practicing twice a day enough?"
"That's enough."
Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the hem of her skirt closer to her side.
"What do you do now?"
Ning Xian looked towards Begonia Tree in the courtyard.
"Sit for a while."
"Just sit down?"
"Just sit down."
She pursed her lips and didn't ask any more questions.
The wind blew past the wall, and the flower buds on the branches swayed slightly.
Dugu Yan reached out to catch a fallen petal, looked at it for a moment, and then put it back on Stone Table.
"Senior, when will that crabapple bloom?"
"Soon."
"How fast?"
"Wait until the buds are fuller."
She turned her head to look at him.
"Senior always says this."
"Because it hasn't been opened every time."
Dugu Yan couldn't help but laugh and shook his shoulders slightly.
"Okay, then I'll wait."
She moved closer to Ning Xian, placing her arm against his.
"Senior, you said you wanted to store the leaf I put in the map yesterday."
"Already saved."
"Will it be bad?"
"No."
She nodded reassuringly and rested her head on his shoulder.
The hair fell from the back of the shoulders and hung on Ning Xian's white clothes.
Ning Xian raised his hand and pushed the strand of hair behind her back.
Dugu Yan didn't move.
After he took his hand back, she spoke softly.
"Senior, will Golden Ranking show up tomorrow?"
"God King Ranking has been released."
"There won't be another list?"
"I don't know."
She blinked.
"Seniors also have things they don't know."
"Hmm."
Dugu Yan laughed softly and tucked his sleeves into his palms.
"Then no matter what list appears, senior will be here to watch it with me."
"Okay."
The sun sets in the courtyard.
The wooden box is placed inside Stone Table, and the heat in the tea cup slowly rises.
Dugu Yan leaned on his shoulder and sat quietly for a while, then suddenly sat upright again.
"Senior, let me give that crabapple a name."
"What to take?"
"Let me think about it."
She held her chin and looked at the tree in the shadow of the tower.
After a moment, she turned her face.
"Can I call you Yanqi?"
"Why?"
"The goose is my goose."
She said these two words seriously.
"It lives by the lake and also in the tower."
Ning Xian picked up the tea cup.
"As you wish."
"Then it's called Yanqi."
Dugu Yan nodded with satisfaction and leaned back on his shoulder.
"When I become Titled Douluo, I will move in next to Yanqi."
"Fourth Layer has more than one room."
"I only want the one next to the lake."
She grabbed his sleeve and shook it.
"Senior is not allowed to give it to others."
"No one will rob you."
Then she felt relieved and put her forehead on his shoulder.
Another piece of Begonia Petal fell and stopped on the overlapping sleeves of the two people.
Dugu Yan looked at the petals, raised his hand to gently pick them up, and put them into the handkerchief next to the box.
"This piece counts as today's."
"Aren't there only three pieces in the box?"
"Then swap out one piece."
She said it confidently.
Ning Xian didn't object and just put the tea cup back on the table.
Dugu Yan fanned the hot air beside the cup for him and pushed the tea to his hand.
"Senior, drink tea."
"Didn't you just want to drink tea with me?"
"I'm just accompanying you now."
She held up her cup and drank in small sips, imitating Ning Xian.
The wind blows through the yard.
The Sky Screen outside the wall has completely quieted down, and the golden Ancient Scroll has retreated into the depths of the sea of clouds.
Dugu Yan finished drinking the tea, put the cup away, and looked sideways at Ning Xian's profile.
"Senior."
"Hmm."
"We will come to the tower tomorrow."
"Practice four steps first."
"Come here after practice."
"Come here after practice."
She laughed, the corners of her eyes curved slightly.
"Then it's settled."
Ning Xian picked up Celadon Gourd and took a sip.
Dugu Yan stared at the gourd for a moment.
"Senior, when can I drink your wine?"
"Become Titled Douluo."
"Titled Douluo again."
"Hmm."
She curled her lips, but didn't argue anymore.
He only pulled his sleeves tighter.
In the courtyard in the afternoon, the sunlight gradually shifted to the west.
The two of them sat under the Begonia Tree, and neither of them spoke anymore.
The petals fell one after another and spread quietly on Bluestone.
East Courtyard.
Begonia Tree Down.
The golden Ancient Scroll has shrunk, and the brilliance of God King Ranking has gradually dissipated.
Dugu Yan is sitting next to Ning Xian, holding a tea cup in his hand.
She raised her head and glanced at the sky.
"Senior, Golden Ranking is over."
"Hmm."
Ning Xian picked up Celadon Gourd and took a sip of wine.
Dugu Yan placed the tea cup on Stone Table, and picked up a fallen piece of Begonia Petal.
The petals have not fully unfolded yet.
She twisted it with her fingertips and put it in the wooden box.
"Are you going to Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda today?"
"Go."
"Go to Fourth Layer?"
"You want to go?"
Dugu Yan nodded slightly.
"I want to see Yanqi."
Ning Xian did not refuse.
Xuanhuang Light Gate expands next to Begonia Tree.
Dugu Yan stood up, her light green dress hanging down at her feet.
She first put the wooden box into Soul Tool, and then arranged the ties on Celadon Gourd for Ning Xian.
"Senior, let's go."
Ning Xian is just about to take a step.
The petals on Begonia Tree suddenly stopped in mid-air.
The wind outside the courtyard also stopped at this moment.
A line of blue Golden Radiance fell from the sky, crossed the city, crossed the mountains and rivers, and finally stopped above Dugu Manor.
In the radiance, a vast ocean slowly unfolded.
Sea water covers the sky.
Countless waves surged in the clouds, and blue and gold Divine Rune spread along the water surface.
Dugu Yan raised his head.
"Senior, what is that?"
Ning Xian has no answer.
In the middle of the ocean, a golden Divine Hall slowly appeared.
In front of the Divine Hall, stood a man wearing a blue and gold robe.
He holds a trident and has long hair hanging behind his shoulders.
Sea God's eyes fell downwards.
"Ning Xian."
"I'm here."
"God King Ranking has ended, why is there no my name?"
Ning Xian looks at the Divine Hall in the sky.
"God King Ranking contains God King."
Sea God Clenched the trident in his hand.
"I control the sea, control the origin of the sea, and own Sea God Trident."
"I am also the main god of the Divine Realm."
"You are not God King."
"Who decided?"
"Golden Ranking."
Sea God Lift the trident.
The blue-gold Divine Power fell from the Divine Hall and pressed toward the Dugu Manor along Sky Screen.
Outside the courtyard wall.
The golden veins reappeared.
The power of the divine sea hit the outside of the courtyard wall, causing a large swath of water to appear.
But that power didn't take half a step forward.
Ning Xian sat next to Stone Table without even putting down the wine glass in his hand.
Dugu Yan looked at the water curtain outside the courtyard.
"Senior, he can't come in."
"He's not allowed in here."
Sea God Take a step forward.
Blue and gold Divine Power falls again.
The sea water pressed through the clouds, and the entire Heaven Dou City was reflected in blue.
Soul Master in the city looked up.
On the street, pedestrians stopped.
Inside Spirit City, Qian Daoliu looked towards Sky Screen.
On Sea God Island, Bo Saixi kneels in front of the Sea God Hall.
She looked up in the direction of Sea God's Descent and held Sea-Heaven Sacred Staff with both hands.
"Lord Sea God has arrived."
Sea God Trident points to the Dugu Manor.
"Ning Xian, if you don't accept Golden Ranking's assessment, you can fight me personally."
"Why should I refuse to accept it?"
"You are ranked first God King Ranking, but not Divine Position."
"I don't need Divine Position."
Sea God's eyes fell on Ning Xian.
"Without Divine Position, there is no way to truly control Heaven and Earth Origin."
"Everything you have is just external force after all."
Dugu Yan frowned slightly.
"Senior, he is talking about Heaven-Earth Xuanhuang Pagoda."
Ning Xian picked up the wine glass.
"He said it wrong."
Sea God didn't understand what it meant.
He raised his trident.
"In that case, let me see your power."
The trident fell downwards.
Water pours from the sky.
Countless blue-gold water jets rushed towards the Dugu Manor at the same time.
Outside the courtyard wall, the space is rippled by the sea water.
The golden veins kept lighting up but did not give in.
Ning Xian glanced at the courtyard door.
"I'll let you in."
The voice fell.
The rules outside the courtyard wall are divided to both sides.
A gap that only allowed one person to pass through appeared in front of Sea God.
Sea God's eyes moved slightly.
He didn't hesitate and stepped into it holding the trident.
The blue and gold Divine Power then poured into the courtyard.
The branches and leaves on Begonia Tree are shaking gently.
The tea cup on Stone Table moved half an inch to the side.
Ning Xian raised his hand.
The tea cup returned to its original position.
Sea God is standing in the courtyard.
A piece of blue sea water spread out under his feet, and the sea water crossed the stone bricks and extended in all directions.
Dugu Yan approached Ning Xian.
Emerald green Soul Power rose from her body.
Ning Xian raised his hand to block in front of her.
"Stand here."
"Hmm."
Sea God raised the trident.
"Now, are you still saying that I can't come in?"
"You're already in."
"Then take my blow."
Sea God Trident thrust forward.
The blue-gold sea tide gathered at the tip of the halberd.
An ocean presses toward Ning Xian.
In the sea water, thousands of currents intersect.
Every current carries the rules of the ocean.
They are connected to each other and block all directions in the courtyard.
Ning Xian did not go back.
He raised his right hand.
Mystic Yellow Radiance gathers in the palm of your hand.
That ray of light did not rise into the sky.
It didn't cause any uproar.
Just a little Xuanhuang light fell on the tip of the trident.
Sea God's face changed.
The blue and gold Divine Power on the trident quickly spread out.
The tide stopped moving.
The rules in the flow are broken one by one.
The sea water fell on the stone bricks and turned into ordinary water stains in an instant.
Sea God holds the trident and takes a step forward.
He mobilizes the origin of the entire ocean.
The sea water on Sky Screen rolls down.
