"Your Excellency," Xiao Bai called out respectfully to Tang San, "there's someone outside the manor asking for you, claiming to be your aunt."
"Tang Yuehua?"
Tang San was surprised. His primordial spirit swept the area, confirming it was indeed her. He wondered why she had come to Spirit City but said, "Bring her to the guest hall. I will meet her personally."
"Yes, Your Excellency," Xiao Bai responded with a smile and quickly retreated.
Tang San understood Xiao Bai well. She was also a transmigrator, as was her sister, Xiao Qing. However, neither of them had read the Douluo series. Based on their past attempts to impress him with "modern scientific knowledge," Tang San realized these two must have watched too many palace dramas in their previous lives. If they had transmigrated to a world without extraordinary powers, they probably wouldn't have survived past the third chapter...

"It's been a while, Master Tang," Tang Yuehua said as Xiao Bai brought her into the guest hall. Tang San invited her to sit and poured her some tea. "What brings you here?"
Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing waited by the side.
"You still won't call me aunt," Tang Yuehua remarked, sipping her tea with a wistful look.
"Master Tang, you're jesting," Tang San deflected, steering the conversation to business. "The Haotian School is currently sealed off, and you've closed Yue Xuan in Tian Dou City. What brings you to Spirit City?"
"You haven't changed, always so straightforward," Tang Yuehua laughed and set down her teacup. She briefly explained how closing Yue Xuan had cut off the sect's main source of funds, leaving them in financial trouble. "My dear elder brothers are relying on me to earn money... The illustrious Haotian School, expecting a woman to support them financially. The sect members don't even respect me, thinking it's my duty to earn money for them."
Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing exchanged shocked glances.
They had heard of the Haotian School's reputation but hadn't expected it to be in such dire straits, needing a woman to support it financially. It seemed incredibly shameless.
"Soul masters don't engage in production or business. Nowadays, Spirit Hall is more progressive, but the Haotian School, being isolated, doesn't understand your importance," Tang San consoled her. "So, are they asking you to establish Yue Xuan in Spirit City?"
Spirit City was now divided into inner and outer areas.
The inner city, the original Spirit City, housed mostly soul masters who weren't interested in formalities and etiquette. The outer city had six districts, including the Economic Capital and Fantasy Film City, where many wealthy individuals began to value formal appearances. Yue Xuan could thrive in any of these districts, given Tang Yuehua's reputation.
"They didn't ask me. I chose to come here myself. Staying in the sect any longer, I felt I might go mad," Tang Yuehua said with a bitter smile. "In Tian Dou, the noble scions had to put aside their pride and address me as 'Teacher Tang' or 'Master Yuehua.' In the sect, I faced only sarcasm and mockery. My mood was terrible... Of course, I managed to come out because I passed the Asura Illusion and gained the Asura aura."
As she spoke, Tang Yuehua released her martial soul: a Ruyi Ring. A purple thousand-year spirit ring appeared, adorned with blood-red patterns. Inside the spirit ring's space, there were sword-shaped markings outlined in blood-red lines.
Seeing this peculiar spirit ring, Tang San focused his attention, sensing a grand and almost tangible murderous aura.
Xiao Bai and Xiao Qing could barely breathe.
"A familiar aura!" Gu Yuena ran down from the second floor, staring intently at Tang Yuehua. She suppressed her own aura, but the killing intent in her eyes was unmistakable.
Asura God!
"That damned guy chose an inheritor too? No, these two auras are identical but separate... With a martial soul like this and the structure of her spirit rings, is this woman defying the heavens?" Tang San wondered, signaling Tang Yuehua to put away her martial soul and beckoning Gu Yuena over.
"What an adorable little girl," Tang Yuehua remarked upon seeing Gu Yuena for the first time. She was taken aback by the girl's natural noble aura, which was approachable yet incredibly refined. Even Xiao Wu couldn't quite compare. Where did Tang San find such a high-quality girl? During her previous visits to the Silver Blue Manor, Tang Yuehua had never met Gu Yuena, as Tang San had arranged for someone else to look after her.
"Hello, I'm Gu Yuena," she introduced herself, scrutinizing Tang Yuehua warily. "What's your relationship with Tang San?"
"Aunt," Tang Yuehua replied with a smile, thinking the girl might have misunderstood. It seemed like children nowadays matured so quickly. Was she worried that an aunt might steal her man?
However, the misunderstanding was only on Tang Yuehua's part. When Gu Yuena learned of Tang Yuehua's relationship with Tang San, she visibly relaxed, which only deepened Tang Yuehua's misunderstanding.
"Aunt? That's good, you're one of us," Gu Yuena sighed with relief and sat next to Tang San on the sofa. Her violet eyes, however, remained curious, inspecting Tang Yuehua closely to understand her better. That martial soul had truly astonished her!
Even though it had no offensive capability, a skill that could harness divine power was outrageous. If Tang Yuehua broke through level 100 in the future, could she directly obtain the Asura God position? If her future spirit rings could also acquire divine domains, could she control nine god positions simultaneously?
A human body, even if ascended to godhood, couldn't handle multiple god positions due to physical limitations. But Tang Yuehua was different—her spirit rings could serve as the foundation for bearing god positions!
The difficulty in coexisting multiple god positions lay in the god core, which embodied the fundamental laws and was inherently domineering, unable to harmonize with other laws. For a person to inherit multiple god positions, they would need an extraordinarily robust physique, precise control over laws, and highly compatible god positions. Alternatively, they would require other vessels to store the god positions, using them only when needed.
Tang Yuehua's martial soul naturally had such vessels—her spirit rings! Spirit rings could evolve, as evidenced by her first spirit ring. Despite being a thousand-year ring, it had acquired the markings of the Death God Domain(Killing/Slaughter god), gaining divine properties and the potential to evolve by absorbing killing and blood energy.
If she were to acquire the law patterns of multiple gods in the future, she might achieve the coexistence of nine gods! The only issue was that Tang Yuehua lacked combat skills. Even if she ascended to godhood, she might only excel in one-sided battles.
