The next day, Chen Yuan emerged from Ning Rongrong's bedroom, his once-overwhelming killing intent significantly diminished. He no longer carried the aura of someone who had just returned from the Slaughter City.
Stretching lazily, Chen Yuan smiled. After just one night, he felt like his old self again.
The saying "A gentle embrace is a hero's grave" wasn't wrong, but for Chen Yuan, being able to quickly dispel his killing intent was a good thing. Otherwise, he might have had to waste a year like Tang San, learning so-called "noble etiquette."
Now at the 78th rank, even if his soul power progressed slowly, a year would be enough for him to break through to the 80th rank. After that, he would need to find a way to absorb a high-level soul ring and become a Soul Douluo. He had no intention of wasting a year.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing walked out of the room hand in hand, their gazes filled with satisfaction and admiration as they looked at Chen Yuan.
They say that only the ox gets tired, not the field it plows, but in their case, it was the opposite. Both "fields" were nearly exhausted, while the "ox" remained as energetic as ever.
After all, Chen Yuan's physical strength was comparable to that of a 100,000-year soul beast. A little indulgence in the night wouldn't tire him out.
Seeing the admiration in their eyes, Chen Yuan smirked and said, "Let's go have breakfast first. After eating, I'll take you out of the sect to find Yan Yan. You've both reached the 50th rank, so it's safe for you to take your second immortal herb."
Ning Rongrong nodded, her voice slightly hoarse as she replied, "Okay."
Zhu Zhuqing also nodded, though her throat was still recovering, so she didn't feel like speaking.
After breakfast, Chen Yuan took Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing and left the sect.
When the news reached Ning Fengzhi, he wasn't displeased. Instead, he stood by the window, gazing at the sky, and thought to himself:
'Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can't nurture an Ultimate Douluo. For Chen Yuan to break through to that level, he'll have to forge his own path. But as long as Rongrong stays by his side, the bond between him and the sect will remain unbroken.'

After leaving the sect, Chen Yuan carried Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, one in each arm, and relied on his Wind and Thunder Wings to travel. Although he could also fly using his sword, the 100,000-year soul ring was too conspicuous. Therefore, he preferred using his external soul bone for travel.
In less than half an hour, as if they had just gone for a stroll, they arrived deep within the Sunset Forest, at the location of the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Spring.
Once they landed, Chen Yuan turned to Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing and said, "This is where the immortal herbs grow. The herbs I gave you before were taken from here. Remember, this place must remain a secret. You must keep it buried deep in your hearts."
Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing nodded eagerly, thrilled that Chen Yuan had brought them to such a hidden place.
Under Chen Yuan's lead, the three of them entered the valley.
They didn't try to hide their presence, so it was no surprise when a warning voice echoed from within the valley:
"Who's there?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Chen Yuan smiled and replied, "It's me, Yan Yan."
As soon as he spoke, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling rushed out at top speed.
Seeing Chen Yuan, Dugu Yan immediately gave him a big hug, her voice filled with excitement and joy. "Two years! You left so abruptly, and I've been waiting anxiously. Why… why did it take you so long to come back?"
Chen Yuan could feel Dugu Yan's body trembling slightly. He patted her back and said, "I wanted to come back sooner, but I couldn't leave the Slaughter City without obtaining the Slaughter God Domain. In the end, I killed the one who delayed my return."
"The Slaughter God Domain!" Hearing this, Dugu Yan was happy for Chen Yuan. She let go of him and smiled. "A domain is something even Titled Douluos envy. I'm glad you've acquired one so early."
Then, Chen Yuan turned to Ye Lingling.
"Lingling, it's been a while. How's your training here? Have you reached the 50th rank? I hope I didn't miss the time for you to take the Blue Silver Emperor."
Ye Lingling looked deeply at Chen Yuan, surprised that he had remembered her. She replied, "My training here has been progressing quickly. In nearly two years, I've gained seven ranks. I'm now at the 49th rank, and I should break through to the 50th rank soon."
Chen Yuan understood. Since Ye Lingling hadn't taken any immortal herbs yet, even with the best simulated training environment, her progress couldn't match Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing. However, once she reached the 50th rank and absorbed the Blue Silver Emperor, and later the Blue Silver King, she would have a chance to transform her potential.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, upon realizing that Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were also here, understood that Chen Yuan had found yet another companion for them.
They looked at Chen Yuan with a mix of disdain and resignation. Disdainful of his philandering ways, but resigned because, apart from his lack of loyalty in love, Chen Yuan was flawless in every other aspect.
Seeing everyone gathered, Chen Yuan led them into the valley while explaining, "After returning from the Slaughter City, I've decided on my next training destination: the distant Sea God Island. It's a relatively peaceful place, and I plan to take all of you with me. That way, we won't have to worry about being separated."
"However, before heading to Sea God Island, we need to make another significant improvement in our strength. Rongrong, Zhuqing, it's time for you to take your second immortal herb. Lingling, you need to speed up your training and break through to the 50th rank as soon as possible."
"Yan Yan, what's your current soul power?"
Dugu Yan replied with pride, "I'm at the 66th rank. I've been training hard and haven't fallen too far behind you, have I? As for my sixth soul skill, it's the Jade Phosphorus Destruction Light, an attack skill that finally makes up for my lack of offensive abilities."
Chen Yuan praised her, "That's impressive. It seems the effects of the Lovesickness Heartbroken Red and the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng are still at work."
"However, I'm now at the 78th rank, and my seventh soul ring exceeds 100,000 years. This time, I've come to use the Ice-Fire Spring to condense a life-bound soul core, similar to the Dragon Pearl and the Evil God Pearl. Otherwise, the Dragon Pearl and Evil God Pearl in my dantian will become unbalanced."
Upon hearing this, aside from Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, who already knew, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were stunned. Was there any news more shocking than this?
78th rank, a seventh soul ring exceeding 100,000 years…
