Suddenly, a sharp, high-pitched eagle cry ripped through the night sky, accompanied by intense fluctuations of soul power and howling winds, approaching from afar.
His eyes flickered, and he looked up at the window.
A giant eagle with a wingspan of over ten meters, its entire body covered in magnificent purple feathers, was seen folding its wings and landing precisely outside the crystal-clear sky.
Then, three figures leaped down from the giant eagle's back, the leader being Dugu Bo.
"My lord!"
Before he arrived, his voice preceded his arrival. Dugu Bo's figure moved through the courtyard like a ghost, and the next moment he appeared at the door of the main room, a strange excitement on his face.
"I have fulfilled my mission, but..."
He stepped aside and respectfully made way for him.
"His Majesty Xue Ye and Prince Xue Xing of the Heavenly Dou Empire have come in person."
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Xueye, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and with a majestic yet slightly weary face, entered the room together with Prince Xuexing, who had a refined and scholarly air beside him.
"Sect Master Ning Liu of Liuli Heaven greets His Majesty and His Highness the Prince."
Ning Liu's gaze swept over the two of them, and he nodded slightly, neither humble nor arrogant.
It is understandable that he did not kneel down.
Although he wasn't a Title Douluo, he was still the sect leader of a top-tier power, holding a transcendent position, so naturally he didn't need to act like that!
Moreover, it's a powerful force like Liuli Tian.
Emperor Xueye didn't care at all; instead, he stepped forward with a genuine smile on his face.
"Sect Leader Ning, there's no need for such formalities. It is I who have taken the liberty of visiting you. I hope you will not take offense."
He looked at the young man in front of him, his admiration growing even stronger.
Seeing is believing.
The Ning Liu before me has a handsome face and a calm and profound temperament. He doesn't have the sharp edge that young people should have, but rather a calm and composed demeanor that shows he has everything under control.
This kind of demeanor far surpasses that of his much-anticipated Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Emperor Xueye got straight to the point. He took out a brocade box from his soul tool and presented it with both hands.
"Sect Leader Ning, since this item suits your taste, it is fitting for a genius like you to possess it. Today, I will bestow it upon you, Sect Leader, simply to establish a good relationship."
Ning Liu looked at the brocade box, the very box containing the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. But he didn't reach out to take it.
"Your Majesty, Elder Dugu should have already conveyed my message."
Ning Liu's tone was calm, "Liuli Heaven never takes things from people for nothing. In business, we believe in fair trade."
Emperor Xueye wanted to persuade him further, but Ning Liu interrupted him with his next words.
"However, since His Majesty has come in person, I appreciate his sincerity."
Ning Liu changed the subject, "How about this, I'll accept the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. In exchange, I, Liuli Tian, promise to help the Heaven Dou Royal Family produce a Title Douluo within a year!"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye and Prince Xuexing froze on the spot.
What?
Help the royal family achieve the title of Douluo?
What did they hear?
What is a Titled Douluo? They are the pinnacle of the continent, walking nuclear weapons, and the true pillars supporting a top-tier power!
Why was the Heaven Dou Royal Family so passive in front of the Spirit Hall? It was simply because the royal family lacked top-tier combat power capable of maintaining order! Emperor Xue Ye dreamed of the royal family producing a Title Douluo, but he knew better than anyone how difficult that was. Talent, resources, and opportunity—all were indispensable.
But now, Ning Liu is actually saying that he can "create" one?
"Still a year?"
"Sect Leader Ning... is this true?"
Prince Xuexing's voice trembled slightly. He even forgot the etiquette between a subject and a ruler and spoke before his emperor brother.
Emperor Xueye stared intently at Ning Liu, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Ning Liu didn't answer, but just smiled faintly and flipped his wrist.
The next moment, a strange herb appeared in his palm.
The herb was crystal clear, as if it were carved from the finest jade. Its petals were layered upon each other, its roots and stems were long, and it emitted a refreshing and cool fragrance.
Most astonishingly, a powerful life force and pure energy emanate from it.
"A celestial treasure from ten thousand years ago, with the delicate skin and bones of a narcissus."
Ning Liu spoke up. "This item has been auctioned at my Liuli Heaven. It can cleanse the marrow and bones, reshape the foundation, and greatly enhance the potential of the martial soul and the speed of cultivation."
"Whoever wants to become that Title Douluo should consume it."
"Afterwards, come to my Glazed Heaven for quiet cultivation. Glazed Heaven will bear all the resources needed to break through to the title."
Emperor Xueye's body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
He wasn't excited, but rather shocked.
The other party's claim that they could create a Title Douluo was not arrogance, but rather that they truly had the capability!
Prince Xuexing's gaze instantly fell on his elder brother, and he said urgently:
"Brother! This is a golden opportunity! Your soul power has already reached the Soul Douluo level, but your soul power improvement has been stagnant for many years. If this item could help you..."
"No."
Without a second thought, Emperor Xueye shook his head and interrupted him.
He gave a bitter smile: "I can't."
Why?
Xuexing was puzzled.
Emperor Xueye began to explain.
"Firstly, I am old and my blood and energy are declining. Even with the help of the immortal herbs, my success rate in obtaining a title is far lower than that of a young person, and I would be wasting the divine items."
"Secondly, I am the Emperor of Tiandou, and I am burdened with state affairs. It is impossible for me to abandon everything and go to Liuli Heaven for quiet cultivation."
"Thirdly, and most importantly, the royal family needs a titled Douluo who is skilled in battle and can protect the empire, while my direct combat strength... well, let's not even mention it."
