Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Ning Rongrong’s Super Evolution
"Open the Grand Gift Pack!"
[Reward 1: Five Bottles of Boundary Breaking Pills (10 pills per bottle)]
[Reward 2: Grand Zhou Heavenly Creation World Formation]
"Only two rewards?"
Zhou Yi's heart stirred. From his experience, the fewer the rewards, the more precious they were.
The Boundary Breaking Pills required no explanation.
As for the Grand Zhou Heavenly Creation World Formation, it was an immensely powerful formation, using the sun, moon, and stars as its foundation and drawing energy from the void and chaos.
Not only was it a formidable offensive and defensive structure, but its true value lay in its ability to enhance a world by absorbing the power of the void and chaos, accelerating the elevation of the world's rank. Ultimately, it could elevate a world to the level of a Creation World.
How strong was a Creation World?
Zhou Yi wasn't certain.
But he knew it far surpassed a place like Douluo, a "backwater" world in comparison.
However, achieving that level might require countless eons.
"Truly a grand reward!"
Zhou Yi marveled internally, excitement surging within him. His cultivation was nearing the upper limit of what the Douluo World could sustain. Without an elevation of the world's rank, his progress would face significant restrictions—like a dragon constrained in shallow waters.
Of course, Zhou Yi speculated that he would likely traverse to even higher-level worlds in the future.
Setting aside his thoughts, Zhou Yi glanced at the small kitten (Zhu Zhuyun) nestled in his arms. Exhausted from his earlier teasing, it lay limp.
With a gentle motion, Zhou Yi covered it with a blanket and slipped away quietly.
The kitten was adorable, but far too fragile for his current fiery temperament.
In a flash, Zhou Yi appeared in the Life Goddess's chamber.
"It's you," she exclaimed, startled. Her legs instinctively tensed.
"Good morning!" Zhou Yi greeted her with a grin.
"You… always make me uneasy!"
"You must have a fever," Zhou Yi teased, examining her curvaceous figure. Her faint fragrance filled the air, radiating vitality and a captivating charm.
"You're the one with a fever!" the Life Goddess retorted irritably. Though Zhou Yi had sealed her cultivation, she was still a God King and the incarnation of the Life Tree itself. A fever? Preposterous.
"No need to be shy. If you're sick, you need treatment," Zhou Yi said, wrapping his arms around her slender waist. Whispering into her ear, he continued, "I'm well-versed in medicine. For your condition, just one injection and an IV drip, and you'll be cured."
"Get out!"
"Sure!"
…
The commotion reached the neighboring room, waking the Kindness Goddess. Her cheeks flushed as she clutched her blanket tightly, thoughts swirling.
"That scoundrel… Is he going to come here next?" she wondered, biting her lip.
…
After an intense "morning exercise" with the Life and Kindness Goddesses, Zhou Yi stretched lazily under the sunlight. Feeling invigorated, he decided to find a sunny spot to relax.
Most guests had already departed, leaving Zhou Yi free from mundane responsibilities. His disciples were numerous, and his children had grown, leaving little for him to personally manage.
While wandering, he spotted three young women: Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Dugu Yan.
Zhu Zhuqing was the younger sister of Zhu Zhuyun, Ning Rongrong had close ties to Sword Douluo, and Dugu Yan's grandfather, Dugu Bo, had joined the sect. Thus, the three girls had remained in the area.
"Martial Ancestor!" Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up as she ran toward Zhou Yi excitedly, like a fan meeting a superstar. Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan followed, bowing respectfully.
"Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan greet Martial Ancestor!"
"No need for formalities," Zhou Yi said with a faint smile, lifting them gently with an invisible force.
Turning to Dugu Yan, he asked, "You're Dugu Bo's granddaughter?"
"Martial Ancestor is insightful!" Dugu Yan replied, her surprise and joy evident. She hadn't expected the Martial Ancestor to recognize her.
Though her grandfather was a Titled Douluo, he was insignificant within the sect, where stronger figures were abundant.
"Dugu Bo's martial soul is the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor. Yours, the Jade Phosphor Serpent, has accumulated a significant amount of toxins," Zhou Yi noted. "If left unaddressed, it could severely impact your body."
Dugu Yan's expression changed, recalling the untimely deaths of her parents. "Please, Martial Ancestor, save me!" she implored.
"Fate has brought us together. Follow me," Zhou Yi said, leading them to the garden. Reclining on a rocking chair, he examined Dugu Yan's wrist.
"How is she, Martial Ancestor?" Ning Rongrong asked curiously.
Dugu Yan tensed, awaiting the verdict.
"It's a minor issue," Zhou Yi assured with a smile, producing a pill. "This is an All-Poison Pill. It will neutralize the toxins in your body and grant you immunity to most poisons."
"Thank you, Martial Ancestor!" Dugu Yan exclaimed, her eyes brimming with gratitude. The poison that had plagued her lineage was resolved in an instant.
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing offered their congratulations, their envy barely concealed.
"You two shall have gifts as well," Zhou Yi said, handing them pills. "Consider these tokens of our meeting."
Ning Rongrong eagerly asked, "What kind of pills are these, Martial Ancestor?"
"You'll know after taking them," Zhou Yi replied, leaning back with a serene smile.
The three girls consumed the pills, their anticipation growing. Time passed swiftly.
Ning Rongrong's transformation was the most dazzling. Her Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda floated before her, enveloped in radiant golden light and exuding an ethereal aura. The pagoda shimmered with unparalleled brilliance.
Half an hour later, the trio awakened. Dugu Yan's cultivation rose by one level, while Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing each advanced five levels.
"Rongrong, your pagoda seems to have two additional layers," Dugu Yan observed in astonishment.
Ning Rongrong froze, counting aloud. "One, two… nine? Nine layers?"
She was overwhelmed. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda had evolved into the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda—her clan's ultimate aspiration.
Overcome with emotion, Ning Rongrong embraced Zhou Yi, planting a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you, Martial Ancestor!"
Zhou Yi was momentarily stunned by her boldness. Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan, equally shocked, couldn't help but feel a tinge of envy.
