In the Ethereal Santuary, on the towering Sword Mountain,
Inside the dwelling of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
"Going to the Dragon Valley is fine, but before that, I need you to promise me one thing."
When Gu Yuena spoke these words, the unwavering determination on her face was evident.
This also made her stance clear: unless her request was agreed to, she would not help Lu Yunzhou.
In response, and eager to reach the Dragon Valley to obtain the Heart of the Dragon God, which had long been on his mind, Lu Yunzhou immediately spoke up with a reply, "Oh? One thing? Tell me."
As long as the task was simple and not too difficult, Lu Yunzhou would take care of it.
On the other hand, if it was impossible, he would simply "take care" of Gu Yuena instead!
After Lu Yunzhou's words fell,
Qian Renxue, who was standing nearby, quickly added, "Let me tell you, you can make requests, but don't go overboard, understand?"
Upon hearing Qian Renxue's remark, Gu Yuena's eyes narrowed, and with a displeased look, she retorted, "An adult is speaking, what's a child butting in for?"
With that, Gu Yuena no longer focused on Qian Renxue. Instead, she went straight to the point, revealing the request: "I want the right to use the Spirit Summoning Technique."
Just those simple nine words,
As soon as Gu Yuena spoke them,
A storm of emotions surged in her heart.
On the side, Qian Renxue immediately stopped bickering with Gu Yue Na and shifted her gaze to Lu Yunzhou.
It was clear that Qian Renxue understood the importance of this matter, and thus, she dared not interrupt or act rashly.
At the same time, Gu Yuena also couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation and nervousness.
What was the Spirit Summoning Technique?
It was the first cultivation technique under the Spirit Absorption Secret Method.
[TL/N: For those who couldn't remember, Spirit Summoning Technique was the technique that Lu Yunzhou gave to the human Soul Masters, while Spirit Absoption Secret Method (previously Technique, but changed to Secret Method to make it far more profound than the former) was the technique that Lu Yunzhou gave to Ethereal Sanctuary's disciples and elders.]
Because of this, the right to use it could not be taken lightly.
Not to mention its importance, but its effects were such that it could influence the entire Douluo Continent!
Therefore, this was not a small matter!
After confirming that she had heard correctly,
A hint of surprise appeared on Gu Yuena's face.
Lu Yunzhou, without hesitation, responded, "You want the right to use the Spirit Summoning Technique? Is it for your descendants?"
Facing someone as important as Lu Yunzhou,
Gu Yuena dared not conceal her motives or any small schemes.
Thus, she replied truthfully, "That's right."
After hearing this response from Gu Yuena,
Looking at her serious expression,
Lu Yunzhou, without a second thought, said, "Alright."
With that,
Lu Yunzhou took out the Spirit Summoning Technique's Qi Cultivation chapter and continued, "Your soul beasts should indeed be transformed into demon beasts. Otherwise, when the world advances, you will only hold it back."
As Lu Yunzhou's words fell,
He casually tossed the Spirit Summoning Technique's Qi Cultivation chapter toward Gu Yuena.
Without a moment's hesitation,
Gu Yuena swiftly caught it, holding it tightly in her arms, her expression one of deep care as she feared any wear or damage.
After regaining her composure,
Just as Gu Yuena was about to thank Lu Yunzhou,
She seemed to remember something and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lu, may I ask what 'world advancement' means?"
Upon hearing this question,
Qian Renxue, who was standing beside them, also became intrigued and curious,
"Yes, yes, you mentioned just now that when the world advances, we would be holding it back. So... what exactly is world advancement? Though I don't understand, just judging from the name, it doesn't seem like something simple, right? After all, it involves the world itself."
Looking at the two women, who were both very curious,
Lu Yunzhou, feeling somewhat helpless, finally provided an answer or rather an explanation,
"Advancement, simply put, is upgrading.
"Soul beasts advancing from wild beasts to ten-year soul beasts is an upgrade and an advancement.
"Similarly, ten years to a hundred years, a hundred years to a thousand years, a thousand years to ten thousand years... all of these are forms of advancement.
"It's not just soul beasts, soul masters and cultivators also experience advancement.
"From a Soul Scholar to a Titled Douluo, from the first level of Qi Cultivation to the ninth, every time a barrier is broken, it's an advancement!
"So many things can advance, so naturally, the world is no exception."
As he spoke,
Lu Yunzhou entered the main subject,
"Small worlds, middle worlds, large worlds,
"There are all kinds of strange worlds: some are for seeking immortality, some for breaking the heavens with martial power, some for controlling the heavens with magic, some have countless nations, and some are overrun by demons.
"Our Douluo Continent is but a tiny part of these myriad worlds.
"When the time comes, the world will advance, experiencing a 'sublimation,' and before that, the things in this world must be strong enough.
"Right now, the world of soul masters is gradually becoming the world of cultivation.
"And world advancement is merely a matter of time."
After finishing these words,
Lu Yunzhou took a sip of hot tea.
Unconsciously swallowing,
Qian Renxue's eyes sparkled, and she thought to herself: "Seeking immortality, breaking the heavens with martial power, controlling the heavens with magic? I never imagined that beyond our world, there would be such a rich and diverse existence."
On the side,
Gu Yuena, too, was lost in thought after hearing Lu Yunzhou's explanation.
"Countless nations, demons running rampant? It's hard to imagine what the worlds Mr. Lu mentioned could be like."
With this thought,
Gu Yuena couldn't help but look forward to the world advancing and its sublimation.
"You've taken the Spirit Summoning Technique, so three days from now, remember to help me find the Dragon Valley."
After Lu Yunzhou said this,
His eyes flashed with a glint of brilliance.
Upon hearing Lu Yunzhou's words, Gu Yuena's expression became serious, and she tentatively asked, "Three days from now? Why not now?"
To be honest,
Gu Yuena was also deeply eager to go to the Dragon Valley.
After all, it was the burial site of countless dragon kin! And as half of the former Dragon God, how could she not be yearning for it?
For this reason,
Gu Yuena thought that there was no better day than today, and she would rather find the Dragon Valley now and accompany Lu Yunzhou to explore it together.
In response,
Lu Yunzhou shook his head and replied,
"That might not be possible. Before that, I need to find a few things to assist me in locating the Dragon Valley."
After Lu Yunzhou finished speaking,
Just as Gu Yuena was about to ask what these things were,
A powerful aura suddenly appeared,
Causing her to stand up from her seat immediately.
Something big was happening!!!
