Tang San's eyes lit up. He had almost forgotten about the behemoth that was the Heaven Dou Empire. Although Heaven Dou didn't have any top experts, its massive army was enough to make Spirit Hall wary and not dare to act rashly.
"In that case, giving up the secret skill is still worth it. After repelling Spirit Hall..."
"Xiao San, don't say such things out loud for now, lest it affect the alliance."
"I know, Big Uncle. Aren't I just saying it in front of you?"
Hearing this, Tang Xiao's stern face softened, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Well, you don't need to worry too much about this matter for the time being. Your Big Uncle will handle everything. Your most important task now is to master all of the Haotian Secret Skill. You are the future of the Clear Sky Sect."
"Yes, Big Uncle."
Tang San was very grateful for Tang Xiao's high regard, so he had never slacked off in his cultivation since coming to the Clear Sky Sect. He also felt a sense of belonging to the Clear Sky Sect.
As a Soul Emperor, Tang Long traveled extremely fast. Traveling at full speed, it only took him three days to reach Heaven Dou City. Without any delay, he went straight to the Moon Pavilion.
"Aunt, this is a letter from Father for you, as well as the Ring Detonation Secret Skill."
Seeing that the person who came was her brother's stepson, Tang Yuehua had a good idea of what was going on. She was afraid that the old stubborn people in the clan would refuse to agree, leaving the Clear Sky Sect alone to face the fangs of Spirit Hall.
"Thank you for your hard work, A Long. Stay at the Moon Pavilion for a few days to rest. Leave the rest to me."
"Yes, Aunt."
After reading Tang Xiao's letter, everything was as Tang Yuehua had expected. Even the fact that he had facilitated the Heaven Dou Empire's joining the alliance did not surprise her. Having obtained approval, Tang Yuehua rushed to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect again without stopping.
"Sect Leader Ning, your request has been agreed to by my brother, but we also have two conditions."
"Oh? Lady Yue, please tell me."
After taking her seat, Tang Yuehua couldn't wait to propose the alliance conditions. Time was tight, and she didn't know if Spirit Hall was ready to attack the Clear Sky Sect. It was better to finalize the alliance as soon as possible.
Ning Fengzhi also pretended to listen attentively, wanting to hear what Tang Xiao's conditions were.
"First, this Ring Detonation Secret Skill is a core secret of the Clear Sky Sect. Please don't spread it, Sect Leader Ning. Even within your Sect, please select trustworthy core disciples to teach it."
"Okay. The secret skill that the Clear Sky Sect values so much must require excellent cultivation talent. And in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, those with such talent are generally core disciples who are heavily cultivated."
Ning Fengzhi did not refuse. Anyway, it was a cost-free transaction. I would agree to a hundred conditions you propose, but whether or not I do it is another matter.
"What about the second condition?"
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's agreement, Tang Yuehua breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that the other party would put on an attitude of 'if you don't want to, you can go back where you came from'.
"Hoo, for the second condition, my brother hopes that Sect Leader Ning can persuade the Heaven Dou royal family to stand on our side as well. After all, with Spirit Hall's ambition, after taking over the world's Sects, they probably won't let go of the opportunity to become the ruler of the continent."
Ning Fengzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, silently mourning for the Clear Sky Sect in his heart. You probably don't know who the master of Heaven Dou is now. Ning Fengzhi called the operation of introducing the biggest enemy into the interior an expert move.
"This is not difficult. The current Emperor Xue Qinghe has a teacher-student relationship with me, and he is indeed worried that Spirit Hall's reach is too long. After I go to persuade him, I think the Emperor will agree to the alliance. It is even possible to directly send troops to the Clear Sky Sect to jointly build defensive fortifications. After all, everyone understands the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'."
"Then thank you very much, Sect Leader Ning. I hope Sect Leader Ning will make a trip to the Imperial Palace as soon as possible."
"It's a small matter. Would Lady Yue like to stay and have dinner with my family?"
"Yuehua thanks Sect Leader Ning, but I still need to pass the news of the finalized alliance to my brother, so I won't stay any longer. For specific matters, Sect Leader Ning can send someone to the Moon Pavilion to summon me."
Tang Yuehua refused Ning Fengzhi's invitation and rushed towards the Moon Pavilion in a hurry. Of course, the secret book recording the Ring Detonation Secret Skill remained in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi coldly picked up the secret manual and began to read it. The expression on his face slowly changed from disdain to astonishment. He rubbed his eyes and read it again, discovering that he had not misread it. He then quickly sent someone to summon Ning Bei to the Council Hall.
"What's wrong, Father?"
Ning Fengzhi's expression was serious as he handed the book in his hand to him.
"Tang Yuehua just came by. This is the Ring Detonation Secret Skill you wanted. I just feel like something is..."
"Is there something fake about it?"
Taking the book, Ning Bei immediately began to read it. He was also curious about what was recorded on it that could make Ning Fengzhi suspect that the other party was playing tricks.
Several minutes later, Ning Bei briefly read through it and understood where Ning Fengzhi's suspicion came from.
It wasn't anything too profound or obscure, but as the Clear Sky Sect's closely guarded secret, this manual seemed too simple, even crude.
The so-called Ring Detonation is to condense the power of all Spirit Rings into the Spirit and explode it all at once. The book does record some usage skills, such as how to grasp the scale so as not to really damage the foundation of the Spirit Rings when detonating them, but overall it seems too simple, without any technical content to speak of.
In a nutshell, if your Soul Power control is strong enough and your body is durable enough, you can do it.
Compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Distraction Control Method, which has two books worth of introduction alone, this Ring Detonation method does seem a bit hasty.
"It should be real. They wouldn't be stupid enough to deceive us with something so superficial."
"But..."
Ning Fengzhi didn't finish his words, but Ning Bei knew what he wanted to say. Such a simple method, he could detonate a ring for him right now, believe it or not?
"It's better not to mess around, Father. The Soul Masters of the Clear Sky Sect are existences who deeply cultivate the strength school. Years of forging have also created a body of steel. This is the fundamental reason why they can apply such a superficial method to the extreme."
"Although the disciples of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect have my Pills to enhance their physique, it is best to use this method with caution."
After thinking for a moment, Ning Fengzhi felt that what his son said made sense. Could this be the legendary great path to simplicity, using one force to break all techniques?
Having resolved his doubts about the Ring Detonation method, Ning Fengzhi also told him about the two conditions of the Clear Sky Sect. Ning Bei almost laughed out loud after hearing them.
"Are they really that clueless? Snow'er and I were still discussing specific countermeasures to attack the Clear Sky Sect. After all, the other party is now completely vigilant because of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Strength Clan. A strong attack may result in great losses."
"Now the other party is opening the door so wide to welcome us in?"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi also laughed. This may be the legendary case of being too clever for one's own good, lifting a stone only to drop it on one's own feet?
"Discuss the specifics with Little Snow. I'm only responsible for providing money and people."
"Okay, I'll take a trip to the Imperial Palace later. You can put this away and let Bone Grandfather and Bone Grandfather study it first."
Returning the book to Ning Fengzhi, the other party also nodded in agreement with this idea. This was also what he meant in his heart.
