Chapter 66: Heading to the Sunset Forest

Sitting on Jin Ling's back, Zhou Yi took out a Talisman from his ring to quietly undergo Recovery.

"Sigh, it's finally come to an end. These past few days have been truly thrilling, though it was quite nice to have a bout with Qian Daoliu while he suppressed his level."

Looking at the sunset glow on the horizon, Zhou Yi thought silently to himself. He then pulled out a Long-Distance Sound Transmission Talisman. The back of this Long-Distance Sound Transmission Talisman was engraved with "A bosom friend afar brings a distant land near" as its core, surrounded by dense, mysterious Array patterns, while the front displayed a message sent by another user.

"Ah Yi, I have been teleported to the Moon God Palace in the Star Dou Great Forest. There is no danger for the time being. Later, I will go to the residence we originally lived in at Tiandou City to wait for you.

——Zhu Zhuqing"

Seeing the news that Zhu Zhuqing was safe, Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief and replied to her, saying he would come over once he finished some matters.

Come to think of it, Ning Rongrong also had one of these Long-Distance Sound Transmission Talismans, though it was a grade lower than the ones he and Zhuqing had. The Long-Distance Sound Transmission Talismans he made back then were only one-time use, as his Divine Ability had not yet reached minor accomplishment; but the current ones were not only reusable, their distance limit had also been increased significantly.

Before entering the Moon God Palace, he had already used a Long-Distance Sound Transmission Talisman to inform Ning Rongrong about himself and Zhuqing, which was why he wasn't worried about them anxiously searching for them.

Of course, the materials for both versions of the Long-Distance Sound Transmission Talisman were the same: high-quality Thousand-Year Ancient Jade. Only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Sun Moon Imperial Family would be willing to give such precious materials to Zhou Yi.

In truth, it was a lie when he told Qian Daoliu he had no money for compensation. Ever since his Divine Ability reached minor accomplishment, the internal space of his Angel Wings had been expanded tenfold by Zhou Yi, and it was now one hundred cubic meters. A small half of it was filled with all sorts of precious materials and treasures; he had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Sun Moon Imperial Family to thank for this. This was the importance of finding the right partners. Ever since he began learning Divine Ability, he had never lacked materials for crafting Talismans, drawing Arrays, or making various musical instruments.

Moreover, besides the Scroll containing the Weak Water from before, there was also a painting inside the ring. That painting depicted various strange and beautiful flowers and grasses; these were the immortal herbs and spirit herbs Zhou Yi had discovered in the Qiankun Sun Moon Valley. However, he hadn't picked a single immortal herb, though he had picked quite a few spirit herbs. After all, he didn't recognize any of the immortal herbs, and he was afraid of ruining them if he didn't pick them properly.

There was no help for it; he could only draw them and ask Tang San or Yang Wudi later. His current plan was to go find Yang Wudi.

After all, besides their knowledge of herbs, he was also interested in their family's spear techniques, especially after obtaining the skill "Hundred Transformations of Divine Weapons"—he wanted to learn how to use more weapons.

However, it seemed there were only three top-tier weapon techniques in the Douluo World: sword, hammer, and spear, corresponding to Jian Chenxin's family, the Clear Sky Sect, and the Yang Family respectively.

This was only because of their own martial souls that they understood their respective weapons so thoroughly, which showed just how much the Douluo World relied on martial souls.

For Zhou Yi, if he was going to learn, he would learn the best. Since he had already learned the world's strongest swordsmanship from Jian Chenxin, he would learn the other two weapons as well. He would go to the Yang Family first, since they couldn't beat him, and after reaching the sixth ring, he would go to the Clear Sky Sect. Regardless of whether it was some secret sect technique, if all else failed, he would just use Mirage to steal the knowledge. Besides, he could also ask Tang Yuehua for help, or even Tang Hao.

However, the most urgent task was to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest. Since it concerned his fifth and sixth Soul Rings, he could not be careless.

He planned to engrave a concealment Array like the one at the Moon God Palace around it after finding it, so that others would never be able to find it, and then add a few defensive Arrays to prevent others from disturbing him when the time came.

If Tang San and Dugu Bo were inside, it would be best to just kick them out. Tang San went without saying—a total amateur. Dugu Bo's martial soul would naturally have its performance hindered when facing Zhou Yi, who possessed a higher status, and on top of that, he was at the bottom of the Title Douluo. With the assistance of the power of nature, fighting him would be like child's play for Zhou Yi. As for the poison, there was even less to fear; how could snake venom that even feared realgar threaten dragon blood?

The only things worth noting were his time-pausing soul skill and his petrification Spirit Bone Skill, but Zhou Yi had Jin Ling. Even if Dugu Bo used those moves and Zhou Yi was frozen, Jin Ling could still interrupt his casting.

Although Zhou Yi had not yet fulfilled the prerequisites for Yin-Yang Harmony and the Thousand-Year Spirit Bone, it was never wrong to prepare early.

Thinking of this, he said to Jin Ling:

"Jin Ling, go to the Sunset Forest."

……

Ten days later, Zhou Yi and Jin Ling arrived at the Sunset Forest once again.

And what he did not know was that at this moment, three people were looking into his information.

The first was Qian Daoliu. On the day Zhou Yi left Wuhun City, he had already sent people to find Snake Spear and Puffer to investigate Zhou Yi's background and his relationship with Xiaoxue. Now, the news had just arrived, and he finally had a thorough understanding of Zhou Yi's youth. The deeds of him frequently saving the common people were quite gratifying to Qian Daoliu, which also showed that besides his powerful strength, Zhou Yi's character was also quite good.

In his view, no one was more worthy of his precious granddaughter than Zhou Yi. There was only one downside: there was always another girl from Star Luo by his side. However, this was not a problem; Xiaoxue was only interacting with him in the guise of a man. If she restored her original appearance, that little girl would have no comparison at all.

The second person checking the news was Qian Renxue. It was impossible for Qian Daoliu's investigation of Zhou Yi to be hidden from her, and thus she also learned about Zhou Yi from Qian Daoliu. Hearing the news of Zhou Yi's Thousand-Year Fourth Spirit Ring and his possession of divine power instantly filled her heart with a sense of urgency. She was certain that she could not compete with her grandfather, even if he suppressed his strength to the Title Douluo level. From this perspective, Zhou Yi's strength had already completely surpassed her own.

At the thought of Xiao Yi surpassing her, her heart was filled with restlessness. While pacing back and forth, she made a decision: once the Spirit Master Tournament ended, she would implement her plan as soon as possible, and then return early to inherit the Angel God.

It just so happened that she would be able to see Zhou Yi fulfill his appointment at the Spirit Master Tournament. Thinking about it, it had been a year since she last saw him, but she hadn't expected to be surpassed by him in such a short year. At this thought, she couldn't help but reveal an expectant yet somewhat complex expression.

As for the third person checking Zhou Yi's data, it was none other than Bibi Dong. In fact, in the early years when Zhou Yi was acting as a chivalrous hero, the title of "Divine Eagle Hero" was simply too flashy, making it very easy for Bibi Dong to send people to investigate him.

Seeing his relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Qian Renxue in the data, she couldn't help but narrow her eyes. Upon seeing the news that Zhou Yi had been invited by Qian Renxue to perform at the Spirit Master Tournament, a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth. She decided that she would also attend the preliminary rounds of this Spirit Master Tournament.

Hu Liena also saw this data, and her curiosity about Zhou Yi grew even more. She hadn't expected this person to not only be powerful but also have a kind heart. He truly was a magical man, making one unable to help but want to get close to him and understand him.

Moreover, the thought that such a person had once been her personal bodyguard for three days and had been obedient to her every command made her face flush with shyness. She wondered what kind of impression that person had of her.

She hadn't even realized it herself, but ever since she watched his battle with the High Priest, she had been unable to fit any other man in her heart.
