The string of strange visitors really wasn't slowing down today. Just a moment ago, Huo Yuhao had even met the Crown Prince of the Sun Moon Empire, Xu Tiannan. His purpose needed no explanation — he was here to seek treatment for his old injuries.
Huo Yuhao let Ye Lingling make a show of trying to heal him. As expected, she was completely powerless. In fact, she didn't even need to pretend — her cultivation was still shallow, nowhere near the level needed to regenerate severed limbs. And while Xu Tiannan technically hadn't lost a limb, he wasn't far from it.
In the end, the Crown Prince could only leave disappointed.
Huo Yuhao didn't dislike Xu Tiannan. The man was actually a capable ruler; he just trusted the wrong person… and raised a white-eyed wolf.
...
"What? You want to join the Celestial Court?"
Inside the rear hall, Huo Yuhao couldn't help being surprised. Before meeting Ning Zhiyuan, he had imagined several possibilities: perhaps Ning Zhiyuan wanted to negotiate benefits for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect regarding the Ming Realm and the Soul Ring Enhancement Package.
Or maybe he wanted to form an alliance similar to the Body Sect's relationship with the Celestial Court.
But he absolutely did not expect Ning Zhiyuan to say he wanted to lead the entire Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into the Celestial Court.
Ning Zhiyuan was very different from Nan Shuishui. Nan Shuishui's family inherited the Rouge Dragon martial soul — strong, powerful, and absolutely top-tier. With that kind of martial soul, she could thrive under any faction she joined.
Ning Zhiyuan, however… was a different story.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could only cultivate up to rank 79.
Yes, with the development of soul tools, auxiliary-type soul masters now had combat power — but Ning Zhiyuan's cultivation still limited him.
He could barely use eighth-rank soul tools. Ninth-rank soul tools, equivalent to Titled Douluo level power, were impossible for him. So in the end, his combat power was stuck around Soul Douluo level.
Which meant that even in this modern era, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still relied heavily on outsiders — such as Sword and Bone Douluo.
Under these circumstances, why would Ning Zhiyuan choose to join the Celestial Court? Huo Yuhao really couldn't see the logic.
And another thing: with Ning Tian receiving a divine ranking reward and her martial soul evolving, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might soon rise to new heights. Under such potential, they shouldn't be submitting to anyone.
As long as the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect existed, the Ning family would always be the masters. But if they joined the Celestial Court… that status was no longer guaranteed.
Huo Yuhao stared steadily at Ning Zhiyuan, waiting to hear what trick he was trying to play.
Ning Zhiyuan looked a little uneasy. Under that unwavering gaze, he felt as if he had been stripped completely bare, all his secrets laid out for inspection.
"I can see that Lord Huo is no ordinary man. What you have achieved — no one in history has ever done.I have a premonition that the soul master world is about to undergo earth-shaking change. I may not be a genius, but I consider myself good at recognizing true talent.
I believe the future will belong to you. If you do not mind, I and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are willing to follow you and build greatness together."
Huo Yuhao didn't speak.
He doubted Ning Zhiyuan's motives. He didn't believe he was some Dragon-AoTian protagonist who only needed to twitch an eyebrow and people would fall to their knees crying "take me, great lord."
It's simple: without benefit, no one works for you.
Why abandon being the absolute master of your own sect, only to become someone else's subordinate? It made no sense.
"Lord Huo, you know the Celestial Court's current situation — Shrek and the major royal families are all watching like hungry wolves. I believe you have your own countermeasures.But with my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect joining you, it will be like wings on a tiger."
"However… I do have one small, unreasonable request."
Hearing there was a condition, Huo Yuhao wasn't surprised. If Ning Zhiyuan had said he wanted nothing, that would've been suspicious.
"Please speak, Sect Master Ning."
Ning Zhiyuan looked Huo Yuhao directly in the eyes. "I hope that once you ascend to godhood in the future… you can find a path for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to break its limit."
"Ascend to godhood?"
Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes. "Becoming a god is no trivial matter. Since the Seven Great Gods perished, over ten thousand years have passed without a single new god appearing. Sect Master Ning, you think too highly of me."
Ning Zhiyuan smiled. "If even you cannot become a god, then no one else can."
"I dare not ask for miracles. I only hope that one day, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can absorb soul rings like any normal martial soul."
Huo Yuhao pondered for a moment, then suddenly switched the topic.
"Sect Master Ning, have you heard of Wang Dong? The one who was ranked on the God List."
Wang Dong — publicly revealed by the God List to possess an unprecedented three-life martial soul: Clear Sky Hammer, Goddess of Light Butterfly, and Sea God.
Just the Sea God martial soul alone spoke volumes.
By all public signs, Wang Dong's chance of becoming a god looked far higher than Huo Yuhao's.So why wasn't Ning Zhiyuan going to him? That was what Huo Yuhao found interesting.
Ning Zhiyuan froze for an instant — then understood exactly what Huo Yuhao was thinking.
"Wang Dong? Of course I've heard of him. Three martial souls, Sea God… his talent is impressive.
But talent does not guarantee achievement. And fact is, your accomplishments already far surpass his. I deeply admire your creativity and methods.
Besides, if even the God Ancestor and the Sea God themselves couldn't solve the issue of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, I do not believe the Sea God's successor could."
Huo Yuhao chuckled. This Ning Zhiyuan was laying it on thick — but his flattery was well-crafted.He understood now: the man was betting on Huo Yuhao's creativity.
Also, when Ning Zhiyuan mentioned Ning Rongrong and Tang San, there was definitely some resentment in his voice. And honestly, it made sense. Ning Rongrong never "couldn't" solve the problem — she simply never bothered.
Her beloved Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa didn't even think about reincarnation or revival. They were too busy running off to the God Realm to enjoy shamelessly sweet couple's time with Oscar.
Since things had been said this clearly, Huo Yuhao stopped doubting.
"In that case, welcome to the Celestial Court.Yanhuang Douluo, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo will enter the Sacred Hall directly. Each will receive one ten-thousand-year soul ring enhancement quota per year.
As for Sect Master Ning — I am willing to treat you as Palace Master of the Soul Tool Hall.What do you think?"
The group immediately rose and bowed deeply.
"Greetings, Your Excellency."
"Your Excellency, since you know Tian'er… may I ask, what do you think of my daughter?"
Ning Zhiyuan's eyes flashed as he asked this.
Huo Yuhao raised a brow, smiling faintly. "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Ning Zhiyuan cleared his throat. "To be frank… my daughter has always admired Your Excellency. If you do not mind, it would not be inappropriate for Tian'er to stay by your side — to serve you and attend to your daily needs."
Before coming, he had already considered this. Huo Yuhao: young, talented, high-status. Only such a remarkable youth deserved his daughter.
And if his daughter could become linked to Huo Yuhao… the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's status in the Celestial Court would soar. They might even flip the tables one day.
Classic "sending-the-daughter" routine. Huo Yuhao secretly rolled his eyes and was about to refuse.
But right then, a light figure stepped lightly into the rear hall — perfect timing.
A green dress, twin ponytails, practically a living loli. Bingdi bounced in like a cat that had smelled a rival.
"Bing'er, why are you here?" Huo Yuhao beckoned her over.
Bingdi hopped happily to his side and wrapped herself around his arm. "I heard you're looking for a little sister for me. I came to check if she's worthy, hehe."
As she spoke, she shot Ning Zhiyuan a very meaningful look.
Anyone could hear the hostility — and the jealousy — dripping from her tone.
