A month passed in the blink of an eye.
During that time, Third Bro died two more times.
One death came from failing to withstand Wu Zixu's provocation; the other was due to accidentally revealing a flaw that the King of Wu noticed.
Perhaps because Fuchai's father had been killed by Goujian's father—creating a blood feud—
that King of Wu, though outwardly appearing incompetent, would instantly eliminate anything even slightly off.Even actions that Tang San himself considered completely normal were enough to trigger execution.
Repeated restarts, repeatedly reliving that explosively brutal opening storyline, placed such a heavy mental burden on him that he was on the verge of insanity.He made several mistakes at work in reality, and only by handing over the Xuantian Treasure Record and agreeing to craft a full set of top-tier hidden weapons did Oscar abandon the idea of reporting him.
Meanwhile, on the other side—
after repeated practice, Nangong Lingyun had become faster at guiding others in learning the Longevity Art, having summarized many useful tricks and shortcuts.
Among everyone, only Shao Siming—due to her mentality differing from that of normal people and her resistance to losing mental control—took a full twenty-five days to successfully achieve unity of heaven and man and enter the Longevity Art.
Most others mastered it completely in about twenty days.
One noteworthy incident was this:
When Tsunade and Senju Tsunade met, both were utterly shocked.
After deeper interaction, they discovered that not only their appearances and signature "fierce poverty aura" were identical, but even their personalities, preferences, and gambling luck were exactly the same.
The two immediately became drinking buddies and gambling partners.
They tried all kinds of normal and abnormal gambling methods.To this day, after hundreds of rounds, every single match ended in a draw—not a single coin won or lost.
But the moment a third person was involved, it immediately turned into a double loss.
They once tried one betting big and the other betting small—only for the dealer to roll consecutive triples and wipe them both out.
This matter had already become a legendary anecdote in Chang'an City, widely discussed and marveled at.
After cultivating the Longevity Art and converting all of their soul power into Longevity inner energy,
Nangong Lingyun immediately performed Embryonic Transformation.Although the effect was inferior to his own perfected Yin–Yang Five Elements Innate True Qi, everyone still made noticeable progress.
Especially Bibi Dong and Bo Saixi—who possessed Rakshasa and Sea God divine power as additional mediums—
even their Martial Souls evolved significantly, becoming more compatible with the gods they inherited or served.
Bibi Dong even successfully passed her Eighth Trial because of this, receiving a reward that increased the age of all her soul rings and soul bones by ten thousand years.Her second Martial Soul was left with only two ninety-thousand-year soul rings; all others became hundred-thousand-year rings.
That night,
after instructing Yuan Tiangang, Qian Daoliu, and the others—informing them that he would be entering seclusion—
Nangong Lingyun secretly brought seven people, including Angel Yan, to Tongque Terrace.
The current Kaiyuan Academy had already incorporated vast areas of the former Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and taken over elite students from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Star Luo Royal Academy, Sun–Moon Royal Academy, and others.
Its scale was enormous.
The former genius training camp had been relocated to the palace's rear mountain scenic area, becoming the Inner Academy—separate from the Outer Academy.Only the very best top-tier geniuses from the Outer Academy were qualified to enter.
As for the area around Chengying Lake, it was now Nangong Lingyun's private property—one of the emperor's personal residences.
Additionally, new imperial palaces were being constructed in places like the Extreme North, the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest, and Sea God Island—though completion would still take time.
Standing by Chengying Lake, Nangong Lingyun gazed at the rippling blue waters and layered distant mountains.
With such beautiful scenery—and what was about to happen—his mood couldn't help but turn smug.
"I've lived my whole life walking on thin ice," he said."Do you think I can make it to the other shore?"
Behind him, Bibi Dong, Bo Saixi, Shao Siming, and the others were all silent—faces frozen in shock, mouths wide open.
You?
Walking on thin ice?
An emperor whose word carried absolute authority, who controlled the entire Douluo Planet, whose casual remarks could make the God Realm tense for half a day—
What does that phrase have to do with you?
If anything, it's the opposite.
With no one playing along, Nangong Lingyun found it boring and moved on to business.
"Recently, with the widespread impact of carving through the Death Mountain Range,
combined with the News Institute's tireless propaganda—interviewing Extreme Douluo who participated in the virtual-space battle and producing large numbers of analytical videos praising my invincibility—
the accumulation of faith power is now sufficient.
In the next seven days, I'll complete one final set of Yin–Yang Five Elements.
At that point, the Longevity Art will fully reach Great Perfection and advance to Level 100, achieving godhood.
And you all may very well be dragged across that threshold with me.
Sister Yan's foundation is the deepest—her success is virtually guaranteed.
Once you break Level 100, I can bring all of you into the God Realm.
Even if you only become Third-Rank Gods or God Hunters, you'll still gain immortality and eternal togetherness."
The seven instantly became serious, but none spoke—quietly waiting for what came next.
Shao Siming and several others, fully loyal, looked relatively calm.
Only Bo Saixi and Bibi Dong showed traces of nervousness.
Even though they had long since thought it through—convincing themselves with countless reasons—and Nangong Lingyun was indeed outstanding, powerful, and handsome,
when the moment actually arrived, embarrassment and awkwardness were unavoidable.
"However," Nangong Lingyun added,"there's a small problem now—who goes first, and where do we do it?"
The moment those words fell, all seven froze.
Where do we do it—how is that a problem?
Bibi Dong asked blankly,
"Are there other prerequisites or environmental requirements? Do we need extremely harsh external conditions?"
"No."
"Then… can we just find any room in Tongque Terrace?"
Nangong Lingyun grinned, an expression that others could only interpret as pure wickedness.
"What I mean is—can we return to nature?
I think this pavilion is pretty good.
Just imagine it: nightfall, the bright moon overhead, quiet moonlight spilling across the lake.
Wouldn't that be a beautiful scene?"
Smack!
Bibi Dong slapped herself on the forehead.
Extreme speechlessness and embarrassment collided, producing a deeply strange expression.
"Ah? Th-this…"
Bo Saixi was equally stunned.
Despite being nearly a hundred years old, she was still a virgin, having devoted her life to cultivation.Her understanding of such matters—and various 'creative approaches'—was extremely limited.
Hearing such a request delivered a massive shock to her worldview.
Tsunade, on the other hand, suddenly became very interested.
"We can play a round of cards," she said excitedly."Whoever loses the worst goes first. Second-worst goes second."
And so—
more than ten minutes later, Tsunade alone stood dumbfounded beside Nangong Lingyun in the pavilion.
Far away—by the lakeside, atop the mountains, beneath trees, and within Tongque Terrace itself—
six pairs of eyes hid, watching in shame mixed with uncontrollable curiosity.
All were his wives. No outsiders present.
Nangong Lingyun didn't mind in the slightest.
He gently pulled that stiff, rigidly tense body into his embrace.
