The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was almost mythical, existing only in legends. Historically, only Ning Rongrong from ten thousand years ago managed to evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda level. It was with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda that Ning Rongrong cultivated to become a Title Douluo. Afterward, she inherited Godhood and ascended.
In history, the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, though rare, had appeared a few times, but its wielder could only reach level eighty-nine.
This inherited martial soul seemed to have a curse. Seven levels would ultimately stop at seven rings, and eight levels at eight rings, unable to be surpassed.
But the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was different. Ning Rongrong's success proved that its wielder could reach a hundred levels, at least not be held back by their martial soul.
In the southern part of Douling Empire, Glazed Tile Mountain. Originally called Jingyang Mountain, it was renamed Glazed Tile Mountain because the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the once-famous top three sects, had moved here.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was built against the mountains, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack. On the mountainside, every three hundred meters, there was a watchtower. Each watchtower had no fewer than three soul masters responsible for patrolling. These were all outer disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and their cultivation was all above Soul Ancestor.
If someone entered the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they would see that every building gave off a sense of luxury. The main hall located in the center of the sect's residence perfectly embodied the word "splendor." A seven-story pagoda, its walls were jade white, carved with exquisite patterns, and studded with countless colorful gems.
The entire tower shimmered with the dazzling light of the surrounding gems, enough to blind even a titanium alloy dog. It was like a realm of immortals, absolutely stunning.
Before the tower, four figures stood silently, all gazing upwards, their eyes fixed on the Godly Ranking.
The leader of the four stood with his hands clasped behind his back, tall and slender. He wore a luxurious white robe with a jade belt at his waist. He appeared to be around thirty years old, with a face as handsome as jade, a straight nose, and a well-defined mouth – a truly distinguished appearance.
This was Ning Zhiyuan, the current Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and Ning Tian's father. He was a Soul Saint at rank seventy-nine.
Standing behind him were the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's three protector Title Douluo, two men and one woman.
"A-Yuan, Tian'er has made it onto the Godly Ranking. Why don't you seem happy?" At that moment, the woman among the three stepped forward, taking Ning Zhiyuan's arm and asking with concern.
The woman wore a plain white gown, and her beauty was unparalleled. She was gentle and lovely, and her every gesture exuded the grace and elegance of a noble lady.
From her intimate actions and the way she addressed Ning Zhiyuan, it was clear that their relationship was extraordinary. Indeed, she was Ning Zhiyuan's wife and Ning Tian's biological mother.
But she was also a Title Douluo protecting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a ninety-two-ranked Title Douluo named Jiang Ying, the Flame Phoenix Douluo.
It could be said that when Ning Tian's name appeared on the Godly Ranking, they were all overjoyed. Even the ordinary disciples within the sect were extremely excited and proud.
However, Ning Zhiyuan, her father, remained calm, without any joy or sorrow, making it impossible to discern his thoughts.
"Yes, Sect Master, the young miss being chosen by the Godly Ranking indicates that the gods also acknowledge her talent. This is an opportunity that many would beg for, yet you..."
"I think you've gone senile from practicing the Sword. Think about it, we are unrelated to the gods, so why would they help Tian'er? What's the benefit for them? There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world."
The speaker was an old man with white hair. His face was withered, and the wrinkles could trap flies. Unlike ordinary elderly people, this old man's eyes were exceptionally bright, not the cloudy eyes of the average old person. His back was straight, and a sharp aura emanated from him.
Chen Feng, a ninety-five-ranked Super Douluo, titled Sword.
The one who contradicted him was Bone Douluo Gu Jie, also a ninety-five-ranked Super Douluo, looking just as old and frail as Sword Douluo.
"Old Gu, what did you say? Have you become too arrogant, or do you think I can't wield my Sword anymore? Do you believe I won't dismantle your old bones?" Sword Douluo's eyebrows furrowed, and his aura surged.
"Heh, you've said that so many times, my ears are practically calloused from hearing it," Bone Douluo said with a chuckle, unfazed. He even flipped off Sword Douluo.
"Old Gu, Old Chen, please don't argue," Ning Zhiyuan's head was splitting, but he still stepped forward to mediate.
Heaven only knew how helpless Ning Zhiyuan felt. This had been going on for years; the two of them always found each other irritating. Today, you slash me with your Sword, tomorrow I'll punch you back – they were old rivals.
Fortunately, they knew their limits, always stopping short of actually hurting each other and instead, there was a sense of mutual understanding.
"Hmph, I'll let you off this time, for the sake of the Sect Master," Sword Douluo snorted.
"Alright, since you've asked, this old man will be magnanimous and let you off. Don't let it happen again," Bone Douluo put on the air of a wise elder, behaving as if he were scolding a disobedient child.
Bone Douluo was truly a master of the art of arguing. Sword Douluo was so angry that he gritted his teeth, immediately wanting to draw his Sword and give him a good stabbing.
"Old Chen, Old Gu, please stop arguing for now. The priority is to bring Tian back to the sect. I'll trouble you both to make the trip," Ning Zhiyuan said.
Hearing this, Sword Douluo looked surprised. "Sect Master, the young miss is still studying at Shrek Academy. Why do you want her to come back?"
Ning Zhiyuan sighed softly. "My thoughts are the same as Old Chen's. There's no free lunch in this world. I don't believe that the gods are acting without a purpose. We just don't know what their goal is, and we can't even refuse the reward right now."
"Now that Tian is on the Godly Ranking, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. I feel uneasy. To prevent anyone from harming Tian, it's best to have her return to the sect."
After Ning Zhiyuan finished speaking, the expressions of Bone Douluo, Sword Douluo, and Flame Phoenix Douluo turned serious. They were all old foxes, and they had been blinded by the joy of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Now that Ning Zhiyuan had reminded them, their hearts sank.
"The Sect Master is right. I will go to Shrek Academy and bring the young miss back immediately." Sword Douluo was decisive. After speaking, he turned into a streak of sword light and shot into the sky, flying towards the distance.
Bone Douluo followed closely behind. The safety of the young miss was important to these two old fellows.
"Sigh, a turbulent time."
Watching the two old men's backs disappear in the distance, Ning Zhiyuan sighed inwardly. The Sun Moon Empire was eyeing them covetously, the Douling Empire and the newly risen Eastlin Empire were still at war, and there were suspected monsters from other worlds invading the Sun Moon Empire. And it didn't end there, now there was the Godly Ranking.
The continent was in turmoil, and a chaotic era was about to begin. Ning Zhiyuan was filled with worry. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seemed glorious now, boasting three Title Douluo. However, Ning Zhiyuan knew clearly that this situation wouldn't last for many years.
