—------------------—

Xu Jiawei's invitation was not unexpected, but Xu Tianxi was not very reassured.

"What is the thank-you gift that Your Majesty is talking about?"

Xu Jiawei smiled faintly and said, "Then you have to go with me. It should be beneficial to your martial spirit."

Ye Yulin asked worriedly, "Your Majesty Xingluo, can we follow and see?"

Xu Jiawei hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "This item involves some of our country's secrets, so your Excellencies are not allowed to enter. I swear in the name of Wuhun and the Xingluo royal family that I will never do anything harmful."

"If you are still worried, Master Mingde Hall can come with you and observe from a distance."

"That's good." Jing Hongchen, who was choosing soul bones, took back the reward and accepted it with a smile.

Ye Yulin's eyelids twitched. He felt that Xu Jiawei was a bit stingy. It wouldn't hurt if he took a look himself, so why did he only let Jing Hongchen go?

The temporary award ceremony ended successfully under the witness of major colleges. Xingluo Royal College and Di'ao College left happily; Ye Yulin left with the Sun and Moon Team, and Xu Tianxi and Jing Hongchen followed Xu Jiawei into the depths of the palace.

This time, the three of them walked for a full quarter of an hour, and the surrounding environment changed from the magnificent and majestic palace buildings to an empty and lonely garden.

Xu Tianxi noticed that there were many observatories around, gathering rich starlight. It would be very beneficial for star-type martial arts masters to practice here, and it would be no problem to increase their efficiency by 10% or 20%.

As they walked into the deepest part along the way, the power of starlight became several times stronger. Xu Tianxi and Jing Hongchen's faces changed, and they secretly thought that the Xingluo Empire did have some foundation after all.

When he reached a star altar, Xu Jiawei stopped.

"This is the place where our country's enshrined hall master practices. There are many powerful star-type martial spirits in our Xingluo Empire, and this is one of the reasons."

Xu Jiawei explained the situation to the two of them, and they immediately understood why the other party didn't want Ye Yulin to come in.

"Your martial soul is the moon, which is also an extremely extraordinary star martial soul. Therefore, I brought you here. You should be able to feel the specialness of this place, right?" Xu Jiawei said.

Xu Tianxi rolled his eyes and asked tentatively, "Could this be the former site of the Xingguan Sect?"

Xu Jiawei nodded, his face became solemn and heavy, and said:

"My Xingguan lineage has a long history. It has existed since the Wuhun Hall era ten thousand years ago. At that time, the Xingguan Sect was the first hidden sect in the Xingluo Empire."

Xu Tianxi knew that what the other party said was right. There were six major martial spirits on the Spirit Hall Pope's Order ten thousand years ago. The three upper sects represented three types, the Spirit Hall represented two types, and the final crown was the Star Crown Sect.

"In the history of Xingguan Sect, there have been powerful Ultimate Douluo warriors. An ancestor with Ultimate Douluo cultivation traveled the continent and found a strange object in a small plane that could gather the power of starlight and play a certain role."

As Xu Jiawei finished speaking, Xu Heng at level 97 suddenly appeared, nodded slightly to Xu Jiawei, and looked towards Jing Hongchen. He extended his hand and said, "Master Mingde, the following things involve the secrets of our Xingguan lineage. Please follow me."

"Okay, then I will wait for Your Majesty to bring our country's genius out."

Jing Hongchen smiled, glanced at Xu Jiawei and Xu Tianxi, and walked out with Xu Heng.

This place is the core of the Xingluo Empire, but Jing Hongchen is confident enough to retreat unscathed; if he is forced into a corner, the trigger-type soul guide on his body can blow this place up to the sky.

However, Xu Jiawei's seriousness was somewhat unexpected. Could it be that he sensed that the situation was not right and wanted to make friends with Sun and Moon?

Thinking of the state of his own emperor and prince, Jing Hongchen couldn't help but shake his head secretly; the struggle between the princes was very fierce, but in the end, it was probably that they could not shake the position of the prince.

"Given the prince's personality, he will most likely start a war after ascending the throne. Even if Tianxi is not in favor of war, he cannot stop the trend. Xu Jiawei's preparations are of little use, but it is good enough to establish a good relationship..."

Jing Hongchen thought calmly, and soon thought of the situation in the country.

"Master Kong reported that those evil soul masters have recently moved on a large scale, showing signs of moving towards the Tianhun Empire. I wonder what these lunatics are going to do next."

"But even without them, Shrek will no longer be a force to be reckoned with. It all depends on whether those hidden sects will intervene…"

At this moment, a brilliant beam of light suddenly rushed up from the direction of the Star Altar. Xu Tianxi's white moon shadow rose into the sky, greedily devouring the surrounding starlight, becoming clearer and brighter visibly to the naked eye; as if undergoing a transformation from virtual to real.

The moon disk, which was about ten feet in diameter, expanded rapidly, and the moonlight scattered three thousand feet. Jing Hongchen looked at the scene in amazement, and his mouth opened involuntarily.

The energy level was not too strong, but he didn't understand how Xu Jiawei could make such a noise.

After a moment, the rising bright moon expanded to a radius of several dozen feet, as if it had unfolded its martial spirit's true form, and then fell back behind Xu Tianxi. The man and the moon seemed to have merged into one. The brilliant light column slowly dissipated, revealing the figures of Xu Tianxi and Xu Jiawei.

The round bead emitting dazzling starlight fell back into Xu Jiawei's palm, and a circle of starlight barrier was lowered around the two of them to isolate the sound from being transmitted.

Xu Jiawei looked a little tired, but more surprised, even a little unbelievable.

The reason was simple. During the baptism process just now, he realized Xu Tianxi's true soul power level and martial soul!

"You... are the original martial spirit? And... it's only level 50?"

Xu Jiawei was a little dazed, staring at Xu Tianxi with his eyes wide open.

Xu Tianxi retracted the dazzling light of spiritual power that his pupils had involuntarily released during the baptism and nodded slightly: "Yes, as your majesty can see, my martial soul is a mutated eye."

Xu Jiawei paused, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips: "A single eye martial soul does not have such a strong mental power. Your martial soul is at least connected to a part of the brain. With the addition of this star power, there are very few martial souls of the same quality as yours in the body sect."

"I never thought that those people from the Body Sect could not see your true martial spirit after watching you play for several games. You have hidden it very well."

Xu Tianxi smiled awkwardly and said, "It is precisely because I am afraid of them that I have been hiding something. When I fought with the three Shrek people, I actually went all out, but they had no time to pay attention."

Xu Jiawei nodded and sighed, "This is the baptism place where the top talents of my Xingguan lineage who have cultivated to the level of Quasi-Soul Saint are qualified to come. It can only be carried out three times every hundred years. This baptism can greatly speed up the speed of cultivating to the Titled Douluo and accumulate the foundation for impacting the Super Douluo."

"I thought you had reached the level of Soul Emperor, so it wasn't a waste for you to come here, but I didn't expect you were only a Quasi-Soul King."

"So, you haven't taken any drugs to accelerate your growth since you started practicing, and your physical fitness is so amazing. On the one hand, it's because you have fused your soul bones, and on the other hand... you have completed the second awakening of your martial soul, right?"

"Your Majesty has a sharp eye." Xu Tianxi bowed and responded to the other party's guess with a smile.

The effect of this baptism was beyond imagination. In short, the illusory moon shadow had been able to condense into a solid entity, and the original power had also been greatly enhanced.

No wonder the Xingguan lineage was able to emerge when the Sun and the Moon overwhelmed the Star Luo. This foundation is indeed extraordinary.

"A sharp gaze is nothing. Your true talent has made me more determined..."

Xu Jiawei closed his eyes slightly, and when he opened them again, his eyes were bright and energetic, as if there were lightning flashing: "You are interested in the throne of the Sun and Moon Empire, I can help you."

Xu Tianxi's eyes flickered suddenly, and he frowned and asked, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Xu Jiawei stared at Xu Tianxi, his eyes as firm as a rock under his slanting eyebrows:

"I can see that you have ambitions, great ambitions, so great that they can only be realized if you become the ruler of the Sun-Moon Empire."

"You showed your strength in the arena, recruited talents from the Three Kingdoms, and restored the reputation of the Sun-Moon Empire. What you revealed is self-evident. It would be fine if it was just that, but you didn't even give face to Xu Tianran. This is very clear."

"The fact that you helped save people later on made me more confident of my own thinking. Only those who regard all the people of the world as their own will have the mind to put aside national differences."

"The blade is facing outwards, with a resolute will to kill; the back of the blade is facing inwards, with a benevolent heart to love the people; how could such a royal genius not be interested in the throne? How could he not want to take all of Douluo Continent into his pocket! "

"But now that the Sun and Moon Royal Family has stabilized, I think it won't be easy for you to reach that step, and you may not be willing to dirty your hands. I, Xing Luo, can help you solve some obstacles."

Seeing this, Xu Tianxi calmly met Xu Jiawei's gaze and nodded, then asked with a smile: "Then why did Your Majesty help me? What does Your Majesty want? A guarantee of peace?"

Xu Jiawei shook his head and said, "No, I want the inheritance of my Xu family. The strength you have shown is too amazing. If a war breaks out, I don't see any hope for our three empires to win, or even to keep our territory."

"The gap in strength is there. Even if you don't start a war, your descendants will. Xing Luo will fall sooner or later."

"I am already powerless when the emperor cannot protect the country, but I cannot fail to protect the Xu family anymore; I can die for the country, but I hope they can live."

"Leave me the legacy of the Star Crown... If I ever unify the continent, I can do it myself."

Xu Tianxi thought for a moment before answering, and then asked, "If it's just this promise, Your Majesty probably doesn't need to make so many promises. Are there any other conditions?"

"Of course, Jiujiu."

Xu Jiawei looked directly into Xu Tianxi's eyes and said, "I have checked your information. You are still single and the Sun and Moon Royal Family has not arranged one for you."

"Master Mingde may want to see his granddaughter and you together, but you are a person who is devoted to cultivation and don't have any thoughts on these things."

The corner of Xu Tianxi's mouth twitched slightly, and he thought to himself that you have found out a lot of information.

"Yes, that's right." Xu Tianxi answered calmly. He, Xu, has never been very interested in women. How can beautiful women be as interesting as cannons and shells? The feeling of making soul-guided shells by hand and then using them to kill the enemy is irreplaceable. Recently, it feels good to chop people with a knife, which makes my blood boil.

"Since you don't have any thoughts on these, then I think you don't mind the marriage either. Do you understand what I mean?"

Xu Jiawei's true intentions were exposed, and he continued, "You are a person with a bottom line. Only in this way can I rest assured that the princess of my Xingluo Empire is also the most outstanding woman in the world."

"I have heard about the princess of the Sun Moon Empire. I'm afraid you won't be able to tolerate her."

Xu Tianxi was silent for a moment, then raised his head and asked word by word, "Do you think it is appropriate for me to marry Princess Xingluo with my status?"

"It's not quite appropriate, but I didn't ask you to make it public right away. You can take your time with this matter. It doesn't matter if you wait for a few years."

Xu Jiawei said: "Jiujiu is determined to go to Sun and Moon to study, and I have already discussed it with you. When she leads the team to your place, you just need to take care of her. We can talk about feelings later. As long as she has a legitimate status and a child, it will be fine."

Xu Tianxi was speechless: "...Isn't this too direct?"

"As a royal family member, you just need to get used to it."

Xu Jiawei's eyes showed some longing, and he sighed slightly: "Perhaps everyone has an unforgettable figure in their heart, but the wife who will accompany them in the end will not be her. My queen and some concubines were chosen by the elders after weighing the pros and cons. Although I am an emperor, I have many things that I cannot control. You will understand when you reach my age."

After that, he carefully held up the round bead in his palm and handed it to Xu Tianxi, saying with a burning gaze: "This thing is called the Star God Bead, and it is more mysterious than that. Only the Ultimate Douluo can draw out its power for use in battle."

"Some ancestors said that this item may contain power beyond the ninety-ninth level."

Xu Tianxi's pupils suddenly trembled: "Becoming a god at level 100?"

"Yes, we have tried various methods for thousands of years, but we still can't find that possibility. Even the Xingguan Sect's emergence was related to it... Although we didn't find the opportunity to become a god, the Extreme Douluo can be invincible under the starry sky with its enhancement."

Xu Jiawei smiled and said, "I'll use it as my sister's dowry. Is it enough for you to agree to my terms?"

Xu Tianxi thought for a long time, and solemnly took over: "After today, the glory of the Xingguan lineage will not disappear on the Douluo Continent."
