The Legend of the Dragon King

Chapter 1806 - Success



Chapter 1806: Success

Of course, this was also closely related to the fact that Qiangu Zhangting loved her and she was the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu’s disciple.

Gu Yuena’s capabilities had continued to grow. However, she had already reached the highest position possible under ordinary circumstances when she became a spiriter. If she could cultivate to Limit Douluo rank, she could possibly be promoted to Leng Yaozhu’s position and become the Spirit Pagoda’s deputy Pagoda Master.

However, the development of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform allowed Gu Yuena to advance faster than usual. The Ten Thousand Beast Platform became the Spirit Pagoda’s best source of income and even roped in many soul masters to their side.

The combination of ten-thousand-year spirit souls and the Ten Thousand Beast Platform allowed the Spirit Pagoda to reach a peak almost as high as the Martial Soul Hall had been. It was extremely effective in winning over soul masters.

Had Shrek not risen to prominence so swiftly again, it was highly probable that the Spirit Pagoda would be the only organization that came to mind for the soul masters within one generation.

Gu Yuena had just made a display of her formidable quasigod-ranked abilities once again. Furthermore, she was still so young!

Her accumulated meritorious services, her capabilities and her outstanding prospects made her the most suitable candidate to succeed the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master.

Even the Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu could not possibly contend against Gu Yuena at this point. The disparity of Leng Yaozhu’s cultivation base and her contribution to the Spirit Pagoda were clear.

Qiangu Dongfeng’s original idea had been for Gu Yuena and Qiangu Zhangting to get married. This way, it could be considered that Gu Yuena’s contribution was completed together with Qiangu Zhangting in a sense. He believed that he had the ability to persuade Gu Yuena to do so. However, the wedding had yet to take place and the cataclysm had already happened.

Given that, Qiangu Dongfeng could only hope that Gu Yuena and Qiangu Zhangting had already consummated their relationship so they could really be together. If that was the case, Qiangu Clan would not continue to decline in status.

The voices calling out “I agree” pierced Qiangu Dongfeng’s chest like steel needles, leaving him devastated. Regardless of how selfish and self-opinionated he was, he had devoted his entire life to the Spirit Pagoda, at least in his point of view. He had selflessly strived to make the Spirit Pagoda greater. Of course, he wanted to seize the opportunity to reach the realm of Godhood as well.

However, it seemed like everything was already doomed. The Spirit Pagoda needed to explain themselves to the military headquarters and the Western Army Corps, so he would be the scapegoat.

Qiangu Dieting took a deep breath. His gaze gradually calmed down as he looked toward Gu Yuena and said, “Since everyone has agreed. Nana, what do you think?”

Only at this moment, did Gu Yuena’s eyes show any change. She glanced past Qiangu Dieting’s face before landing on Qiangu Dongfeng, and she then looked toward Qiangu Zhangting at last. Then, she cracked into a faint smile and nodded gently. “Alright then. Since everyone believes in me, I shall do my best. I will certainly uphold the interest of our Spirit Pagoda.”

‘She agreed?’ Qiangu Dongfeng’s body shuddered, and he immediately felt like he was having a mental breakdown. Nevertheless, what else could he say? There was nothing he could do to stop all of this from happening anymore.

On the other hand, Tang Wulin and the people from Shrek and the Tang Sect had yet to leave. They were witnessing the scene taking place on the ground too.

In fact, Tang Wulin’s eyes appeared a little shocked.

It had not been long since he and Gu Yuena were still studying at Shrek. They were still so weak at the time.

They were different now. He was already the Tang Sect’s Sect Master and the Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy while Gu Yuena had just been promoted to the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master.

Even if the Spirit Pagoda’s elite fighting forces were still being suppressed by Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect, it was still the mightiest soul masters’ organization on the continent, both in terms of strength and resources!

‘Has Gu Yuena actually already been promoted as the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master? Could it be that this was the reason she refused to be with me?’

‘Is it because of this goal that she insisted to stay with the Spirit Pagoda and remain by Qiangu Zhangting’s side all this while?’

Tang Wulin clenched his fists tightly. He was howling deep inside. ‘Gu Yuena, do you know that I’m willing to give up everything for you if you’re willing to be with me?! Could it be that you’re really a woman with wild ambitions? Are those the real reason behind your reluctance to be with me?’

“It’s going to be fine for now. Let’s go.” Yali placed her hand on Tang Wulin’s shoulder.

Tang Wulin’s body shivered. He turned his head to the side and looked at Yali.

At that exact moment, Yali saw his eyes were filled with a whirlwind of emotions.

“Don’t think too much. Let’s put off this until after this war is over,” Yali said softly.

Tang Wulin nodded in silence. He tried his best to seal the emotions in his heart so that he could calm himself.

Yes! He had no choice, but to put off this matter until this great catastrophe was settled. Before the Holy Spirit Cult and the abyssal plane were defeated, saying anything would be in vain. They were about to confront the threat coming from the Bloodriver Godkiller Great Array next.

The soul communicator on Tang Wulin’s wrist suddenly rang.

Tang Wulin picked it up instinctively and heard an excited voice coming from the other end.

“It’s a success. Tang Wulin, do you know that I’ve succeeded? Hah-hah-hah, I’ve succeeded! The thing that my father and mother couldn’t do in the past, I’ve done. I’ve succeeded!”

Ling Zichen screamed aloud in excitement, sound pong nearly hysterical. Tang Wulin felt an intense impulse upon listening to her voice. He felt like running over to Gu Yuena’s side and blurting everything out to her.

He had always been a calm person, yet he was feeling like he no longer wanted to remain calm. In fact, he wanted to tell her that he would hand his positions as the Tang Sect’s Sect Master and the Sea God’s Pavilion Master of Shrek Academy to her if she would return to him willingly.

He loved her so much. Even when there were countless exquisite women that showed interest in him in the past, his feelings for her had never changed all this time. He was just as pure-hearted as his younger self.

Yet, could he really do that? No, he could not. Shrek and the Tang Sect did not belong to him, so there was nothing he could hand over to her. On the other hand, she was already the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master. She was the leader of the number one soul masters’ organization on the continent. The distance between him and her grew further than ever.

On the other hand, Gu Yuena, having just succeeded the position of the Spirit Pagoda’ Pagoda Master, abruptly raised her head. She turned around and looked up at Tang Wulin in the sky.

Tang Wulin’s gaze had remained fixated on her all this time. At that very moment, their eyes met, one of them in the sky and the other on the ground. In that instant, Tang Wulin saw her gentle side, soft as water.

He was stunned for a moment. Then, he saw her smile. It was a smile filled with consolation and also exceedingly complicated emotions.

It felt as if her smile embodied a myriad of everything.

It was also at this exact moment when Tang Wulin felt like he was suddenly enlightened. It was as though he had been jolted awake from his agony.

‘No, she isn’t like that. She didn’t do this for power and desire. No, this is not her. This is not the reason for her anguish.’

Tang Wulin told himself in his heart with certainty. This was because he suddenly realized something. If Gu Yuena was really a person with a desire for power, and she had really left him to gain power for the Spirit Pagoda, how would she have fallen in love with him in the past?

Moreover, the bond between them and the sentiment within their hearts could not be wavered by any means.

She was not like that!

His mood lightened once again. There was an apologetic look in his eyes as if he was telling Gu Yuena he should not have doubted her.

Yet, he suddenly saw the deep sorrow seeping out from the depths of her eyes. The terrible sadness quickly infected him as well.

‘What’s going on with her? Why is she so sad?’
