"In that case, we have no problems here. Please instruct us on what to do next, my lord."
After deciding to join the Heavenly Court, Shui Miaoyun's attitude also changed.
"Don't rush, I'll guide you into the Ming Realm first." Huo Yuhao smiled. The progress of subduing the Soul Master Guild was smoother than he had imagined.
A few minutes later, in the top-floor room of the Soul Master Guild, the Gate of Space opened, and five people walked out one after another.
Shui Miaoyun had already entered the Golden Realm of the Ming Realm and had been granted the authority to bring people in by Huo Yuhao. However, Shui Miaoyun could only bring people into the Silver and Black Iron Realms. Currently, only Huo Yuhao himself had the authority to access the exclusive Golden Realm.
"Take this. After you've arranged things here, go to Tiandou City and find Zhou Qi, the president of the Lingbao Chamber of Commerce, and coordinate with him."
Huo Yuhao handed a golden token to Shui Miaoyun.
He had also asked Shen Yan and her husband earlier, but they said they needed to consider it and had not given a clear answer.
"Understood, my lord," Shui Miaoyun said, accepting the token.
"Well, I have something else to attend to. I'll take my leave first."
As he spoke, the Gate of Space opened again in front of Huo Yuhao. Huo Yuhao and Bingdi stepped out, their figures instantly disappearing from the room.
Seeing this, Shen Yan's husband, You Wansen, stepped forward and carefully sensed the place where the two had disappeared. Unfortunately, he knew nothing about the power of space and naturally gained nothing.
"Miaoyun, why did you agree to that kid so quickly? How old is he? Can he be trusted?"
Without outsiders present, Shen Yan stepped forward and hugged Shui Miaoyun's arm, no longer as quiet as before. There was no longer the demeanor of a Soul Douluo powerhouse in her words, more like a lively little sister.
"Yan'er, what do you think of the future of the Heavenly Court?" Shui Miaoyun asked.
Speaking of this, Shen Yan also became serious. "It's hard to predict. Whether it's the Ming Realm or the凝环法 (Ning Huan Fa - Ring Condensation Method), once the Heavenly Court is officially established, it will inevitably grow at an extremely fast pace."
"But this also involves huge risks. The Ming Realm and the Ring Condensation Method are too precious. Other forces will inevitably be jealous, especially Shrek Academy and the major royal families. Once these forces take action, even the Body Sect may not be able to protect him."
Shui Miaoyun nodded slightly and said softly, "You're right. I suppose that's why you didn't directly agree just now.
But have you ever thought about it? The Heavenly Court is now in its initial stages and lacks manpower. That's why Huo Yuhao is treating us with such courtesy. But you and I can both see that once the Heavenly Court gains a firm foothold in the future, its momentum will be unstoppable."
"Our cultivation is not bad, but we can't be considered top-notch. If we don't join early and stay ahead of others, then in the future, we may only be relegated to mediocrity."
"Yes, the Heavenly Court's actions have harmed the interests of other forces and will inevitably be targeted.
But if we can think of this, can't Huo Yuhao think of it? Can't the Body Sect think of it? But they still did it, which means they have already prepared to deal with the crisis."
"Success depends on human effort. This is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity. I don't want to miss it."
Speaking of this, a strong desire flashed in Shui Miaoyun's eyes, a desire for strength.
Shen Yan and You Wansen looked at her, secretly praising her as a heroine. This one was also a ruthless person, decisive when it was time to make a decision.
The two also began to think seriously. To be honest, they were very tempted, especially You Wansen. If he were alone, he would have already agreed.
But who told him to be a family man, and with a relatively low status in the family? The decision-making power for this kind of thing was with his wife, and he only had the power to offer suggestions.
On the other side, Huo Yuhao brought Bingdi directly to the Earth Dragon Gate. After the Earth Dragon Gate disciples reported, Huo Yuhao once again met Nan Shuishui.
Inside the reception hall, maids served tea and snacks. The three of them sat facing each other as before, except this time, Xuedi was replaced by Bingdi.
"Young Master, why don't I see Xue'er? And who is this?"
After chatting for a few words, Nan Shuishui looked at Bingdi. She discovered that the beautiful little girl beside Huo Yuhao was actually a Soul Douluo powerhouse like herself.
Huo Yuhao smiled. Fortunately, he, Xuedi, and Bingdi were all open about their relationships and didn't hide it from the two of them. Otherwise, if he were secretly two-timing, wouldn't that be exposed?
"Xue'er is currently in seclusion. This is Bing'er, my fiancée."
Huo Yuhao's words made Nan Shuishui's expression a little strange. She knew Huo Yuhao's age, thirteen years old. It wouldn't be a big deal to get married and have children.
It's just that the woman's side is hard to say. Soul Douluo cultivation, loli image, isn't she an old monster trying to take advantage of a young man?
But that's their business and has nothing to do with her. Nan Shuishui maintained her smile and said a few polite words, basically saying something like a talented man and a beautiful woman, a match made in heaven.
Bingdi's eyes flashed with tenderness. Hearing Huo Yuhao publicly declare that she was his fiancée, Bingdi felt extremely sweet in her heart. It had to be said that this guy was also a complete simp.
"Young Master, is there something you need from me this time?"
Nan Shuishui asked. She knew that this guy wasn't an idle person. He wouldn't visit without a purpose. If he came, it certainly wasn't a small matter.
Huo Yuhao smiled, "Not to hide it from the sect master, I've brought a small gift this time. I believe you'll be very interested."
"Oh, Young Master's gift, that makes me very much look forward to it."
"Sect Master Nan, please release your soul rings."
Seeing this, Huo Yuhao didn't delay any longer. He reached out and grabbed the purest energy from the Ming Realm, injecting it into Nan Shuishui's eighth soul ring.
In Nan Shuishui's vision, a ball of pure white energy turned into silk threads and drilled into her eighth soul ring. Nan Shuishui was shocked. The hand behind her back had already begun to condense soul power.
Having seen the battle between Huo Yuhao and Dai Hao, she knew that the person in front of her was not a harmless youth. She had to guard against him.
But this sense of defense quickly dissipated, replaced by unparalleled surprise and incomprehension. Nan Shuishui could feel that the age of her eighth soul ring was rapidly rising.
The original age of the eighth soul ring was around 82,000 years, but now it was already 85,000 years. It was precisely because the increase was so rapid that Nan Shuishui was able to perceive it so clearly.
The age of the soul ring was still increasing. 89,000 years, 93,000 years, 98,000 years. At this time, a faint red color had already been dyed on the black color of Nan Shuishui's eighth soul ring.
Boom! A huge pressure surged in all directions. The black color on Nan Shuishui's eighth soul ring completely faded, turning completely scarlet. That mesmerizing red represented the dream of all soul masters, a 100,000-year soul ring.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The pressure released by the 100,000-year soul ring alarmed the high-level members of the Earth Dragon Gate. Five figures flew into the reception hall one after another.
These five people, four men and one woman, had no weak auras. Huo Yuhao swept his eyes and found that there were actually three Soul Douluos among them. The other two were also peak Soul Saints, with soul power at level 79.
Not bad, Huo Yuhao nodded secretly, feeling that he had come to the right place. Moreover, he didn't think that this was the entire strength of the Earth Dragon Gate. Conservatively estimating, the Earth Dragon Gate had at least two more Soul Saints.
