In the blink of an eye, another three months had passed. Lin Muyu had been learning martial soul fusion from Qin Han for almost half a year, and she had finally seen the ultimate form of the Seven Luminaries Holy Gourd and God Binding Chains. Generally speaking, the ultimate form of the two martial souls could be described with three words — bigger, brighter, and stronger!
… …
"Buzz buzz buzz …"
In the depths of Yi Hai, a golden holy gourd soared into the sky. The walls of the gourd were covered with obscure golden runes, as if they were carved by the gods. As the gourd spun, it created a fierce storm, and the stars in the sky twisted slightly as if they were being pulled by the gourd. The Seven Luminaries Holy Gourd looked like it was going to devour the entire world. This kind of aura was not something a normal martial soul could have.
The Starry God Binding Chains were not inferior to the Seven Luminaries Holy Gourd at all. The fifteen golden chains fused together, looking exquisite and majestic. The chains were interlocked in pairs, forming the "Kui" pattern of the Eastern pattern. A majestic power soared into the sky, as if it was going to pierce through the sky. The majestic power was greatly enhanced because of the simple and unadorned pattern.
… …
"Phew …"
Lin Muyu took a deep breath and slowly opened her eyes. She felt comfortable all over, and the compatibility between the two martial souls, body, and soul seemed to have deepened due to her insight.
Qin Han squinted his eyes and smiled, "Not bad! The next step is the real martial soul fusion. "
"This … the ancestor hasn't taught me yet." Lin Muyu smiled.
Qin Han also smiled, "This is not something I can teach you … Yu, do you know that when the martial souls fuse with the master's soul, they know how to protect their master? As long as the master's life is in danger, the two martial souls will automatically protect their master. When they can't protect their master with their own strength, they will look for a stronger power, and that is the fusion. The first fusion will be extremely dangerous, but this is cultivation. If you don't go through life and death situations, how can you obtain the power of the heavens and earth?"
At the side, Tang Xiaoxi blinked. "Does this mean that Ah-Yu is going to challenge an existence that far surpasses her?"
"Yes."
Qin Han nodded and said, "It's time for the three of you to go out and experience the world and challenge your own limits. Little Yin's Dragon Slayer Technique's sixth stage, Azure Dragon Break, has been unable to comprehend for a long time. This should be related to the breakthrough of your martial spirit. You are the same as Ah-Yu, you need to experience a life and death situation before you can awaken the power of the Azure Dragon within the True Dragon God Binding Chains. As for Little Xi, your Fire Fox martial spirit has already changed because of your physique. Actually … Little Xi, you should be the one with the most potential among the three of you, and also the one with the highest strength. The Fire Fox is a second-class martial spirit, but only a one-tailed Fire Fox is a second-class martial spirit.
"Ah?" Tang Xiaoxi's face was full of surprise and joy, "Ancestor, please enlighten me."
Qin Han said, "I once ascended from the Heaven Realm, and I met a Divine King level female cultivator there. Her surname is also Tang, and her martial soul is also a Fire Fox, but it's a five-tailed Fire Fox, and its strength is far greater than your Fire Fox. Cultivate well, and when you are forced to use more strength to protect the person you love, that will be the time for your Fire Fox to evolve. Also, the Fire God's Seal is an extremely powerful martial art, cultivate it well, and it will naturally help you ascend to become a God!"
Tang Xiaoxi knelt on the ground, opened her beautiful eyes, and said, "Thank you, Ancestor. Xiao Xi will definitely remember this!"
"Okay, you guys go, I will also go into seclusion for two to three months."
"Yes!" Qin Yin nodded, "I will send someone to deliver meals regularly."
"Okay, remember to ask them to deliver the braised lion's head dish once every three days, Ancestor likes it."
"Okay …"
…
The next day, Ze Tian Hall.
"What, Your Highness is going out to cultivate?" Feng Jixing was stunned.
"Yes."
Qin Yin smiled, her eyes like water, "Since it's to spread martial arts to the world, as the Empress, I naturally have to pursue a stronger realm. After stepping into the Saint realm, I feel that there is still room for further improvement, so I will be going out to cultivate with Commander Yu and Princess Xi."
Su Muyun cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, as the ruler of the country, what will happen to the political and military affairs of Lanyan City when you leave?"
Qin Yin smiled and said, "Therefore, I will have to trouble Grandfather, the Seven Sea Kings, and General Feng. While I am cultivating, Grandfather and the Seven Sea Kings will be in charge of all the political affairs of the empire, and General Feng will be in charge of all the military affairs. If there is any problem that cannot be resolved, two of the three of us will be able to make a decision. If it's not very urgent, just wait for my return."
Tang Lan asked, "How long will Your Highness be on this patrol, and how many people will you bring?"
"I will be back in two to three months. I will not bring any people, just the three of us." Tang Xiaoxi smiled and said, "Grandpa, you don't have to worry. Xiaoxi and Mumu are already at the Sanctuary-realm. With me, we will be invincible no matter if we encounter devils or high-level spirit beasts."
Tang Lan's eyes were filled with love as he said, "Xiao Xi, you have just returned to Lanyan City, and now you have to go out again. I really can't bear to …"
Tang Xiaoxi smiled and went forward to hold Tang Lan's arm, saying, "Grandfather, when Xiao Xi comes back from cultivation, I will accompany you. I think … Grandfather also hopes that our Tang family will have a God State expert, right?"
"Of course!"
Tang Lan then nodded and said, "Your Highness and Xiao Xi can rest assured and cultivate. I will discuss all the important matters of the empire with King Yunzhong and Marquis Yunzhong."
"Well, that's good."
Qin Yin said again, "The matter of the three of us going out to cultivate must be kept a secret. If anyone dares to leak this matter, he will be beheaded immediately!"
All the officials knelt together and said, "We will obey the imperial edict!"
…
The afternoon sun was very warm. It was autumn, and the maple leaves were like fire everywhere in Lanyan City. It was indescribably beautiful.
Lin Muyu had changed into a green outfit and a light gray cloak. She had a long sword strapped to her back and was leading the Snowstrider warhorse. She looked not much different from the mercenaries and swordsmen. Qin Yin and Tang Xiaoxi had also changed out of their luxurious empress and princess dresses. Qin Yin was wearing a sky blue dress, and Tang Xiaoxi was wearing a beautiful red and white dress. Both of them were wearing silver cloaks, and they looked no different from the noble ladies of the empire. Moreover, such ladies could be seen everywhere in Lanyan City. After all, the empire advocated martial arts, and the ladies of the major mansions practiced martial arts more or less.
"Where are we going? The Dragon-seeking Forest?" Tang Xiaoxi asked.
Lin Muyu said casually, "Up to you. I'm fine with anywhere."
Qin Yin, on the other hand, was in high spirits and extremely charming. The moment she walked out of Ze Tian Palace Hall, she was like a bird that had flown out of its cage. This kind of life was what she loved. As for sitting on the throne of Ze Tian Palace Hall, it was just because of her family's responsibility and to live up to the expectations of the people.
Tang Xiaoxi said, "There's a tavern in front. Let's go in and have a drink and ask about the recent rumors. What do you think?"
"Sure!"
"Let's go!"
When they arrived at the tavern, they tied up the warhorses and entered together. After ordering three cups of rice wine, they sat at a table near the window. Although it was afternoon, the tavern was almost packed with people. There were merchants, mercenaries, and cultivators everywhere. There were even quite a few staff members of the Sanctum drinking and having fun here.
As the Grand Deacon of the Sanctum, Lin Muyu had no choice. After all, most cultivators were crude people who did not stick to a single pattern. If they were not allowed to drink, they might as well be killed. Take Zhang Wei for example. If he did not drink for two days, the strength of his Dou Qi would drop by half. They were more reliant on wine than on rice and steamed buns.
Tang Xiaoxi stood up and gracefully walked to the side of the table. She smiled at the waiter and said, "Waiter, are there any interesting rumors in the Jianghu recently?"
"Oh?"
The waiter looked at the absolute beauty in front of him and his eyes immediately lit up. He said, "This beautiful lady, are you looking for first-class news or second-class news?"
"There are first-class and second-class news? What's the difference? "Tang Xiaoxi asked in astonishment.
The waiter smiled. "First-class news costs one Jin Yin coin, and second-class news costs one silver coin. Moreover, these are all rumors I've heard. If I tell others, I might be killed. So … please understand, young lady."
"Alright."
Tang Xiaoxi took out a Jinyin coin and flicked it on the table. As the gold coins rolled, she smiled and said, "Alright, tell me a piece of breaking news right now. If it's not enough, I'll smash your tavern."
The waiter was stunned. He quickly grabbed the Jin Yin coin and said with a smile, "Recently, I heard that the Vice Commander of the Imperial Army, Xiahou Sang, has taken in another concubine. The dowry is as high as 300 Jin Yin coins. The commander of the Imperial Army is really rich!"
"What kind of news is this?"
Tang Xiaoxi's beautiful face was full of murderous intent. She slammed the table and said, "Return my Jin Yin coins, or I'll smash your tavern!"
The waiter was startled. The aura that Tang Xiaoxi exuded almost made him kneel. As a veteran, he naturally knew that this young lady in front of him was definitely not someone to be trifled with. His voice even trembled a little. "This lowly one will change the news for you right now … Recently, I heard that there's an extremely powerful spiritual energy enshrouding the Cloud Ridge in the east of Heaven's Pivot Province. Many people believe that a divine weapon is about to appear there, so many cultivators and mercenaries have already rushed to the Cloud Ridge. However … the Cloud Ridge is very close to the Tongtian Province where the Demon Race resides. This will definitely cause chaos in the cultivation world."
"Oh, this news has another use." Tang Xiaoxi narrowed her eyes and threw another Jin Yin coin on the table. She smiled and said, "This is your reward. Many thanks!"
The waiter's face was pale. He grabbed the Jin Yin coin with lingering fear.
Tang Xiaoxi turned around and sat next to Qin Yin. She smiled and said, "Let's go to the Cloud Ridge in Heaven's Pivot Province. I heard that it's very lively there."
"Oh, it's quite far," Lin Muyu said.
"I don't mind."
Tang Xiaoxi's attitude was not very proper. "Anyway, we'll just be sightseeing along the way …"
Qin Yin couldn't help but smile. "Then let's go to the Cloud Ridge!"
