Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff's Palace

Bibi Dong can be seen sitting in her throne while listening to the report of the person in front of her.

After a while, Bibi Dong waved her hand and the person in front of her then disappeared.

Bibi Dong closed her eyes while frowning. She was now having headache after hearing the report.

Even after five years, they could not gather enough information about John. And just a week before, they found out that the Heaven Dou Empire was no more and was actually destroyed by the same person they want to know about.

Bibi Dong opened her eyes and thought 'This John became more and more unpredictable, we need to kill him before we can't control him anymore.'

Bibi Dong decided that John was no longer a child now and became a person to feared on.

Star Lou Empire,

Dai Family Palace,

"Is this report true?" A handsome and well-build middle aged man asked while frowning. This middle aged man could only be describe as very domineering person.

"Yes, Your Majesty." a man in a cloak politely said.

The domineering middle aged man was actually the Emperor of Star Lou Empire.

Emperor Dai then waved his. The cloak man then disappeared.

"First the Spirit Hall, and now this youth John." Emperor Dai frowned while thinking about the problem.

Star Lou Empire,

Zhu Family Palace,

"Are you saying that Zhuqing returned a week ago with that person John?" A middle aged man asked. He was looking at the handsome youth in front of him.

"Yes, uncle." Dai Mubai said. After seeing Zhu Zhuqing last week, he directly head towards the Zhu Family residence to report the news.

"Good, I will order someone to take Zuu Zhuqing back." Zhu Family head was about to order someone when suddenly a cloak man appeared all of the sudden.

The man then report the news.

After hearing what the cloak man said, Zhu Family head's face cannot be describe.

Dai Mubai on the other hand was curious after seeing Uncle Zhu's reaction.

After a while, Zhu Family Head then dismiss the cloak person.

There was a moment of silence before Dai Mubai asked.

"If it's okay to ask, what was that about, uncle?" Dai Mubai curiously asked.

Zhu Family Head then looked at Dai Mubai. He then sighed and then answered "I think it's okay to tell you this, the report says that Heaven Dou Empire was now gone. Emperor Xue Ye was dead and the news of a new Emperor emerged."

Dai Mubai was shocked to the core after hearing such news. He then asked again "Is it the Spirit Hall?"

Zhu Family Head shooked his head. He then answered "No, the person who attacked and replace the Emperor was a person named John."

Dai Mubai now can't control his emotion after hearing the name John.

Zhu Family Head looked at Dai Mubai and noticed that something was wrong with him. He then asked "Mubai, what's wrong with you?"

Dai Mubai woke up after hearing uncle Zhu's words. He was hesitating weather to tell him the truth.

After a while, Dai Mubai gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth. He said "Uncle, to be honest, Zhu Zhuqing followed a person named John. And I think the John you just mentioned is the same person."

Zhu Family Head was shocked after hearing such words but he still calmed down because he thought how could a person with the same as his daughter could attack an empire alone. He then said " It's impossible. Maybe they just have the same name."

Dai Mubai wanted to say something but stopped as he was also hoping that the 'John' he knew was not the same John who attack Heaven Dou Empire.

They then had a conversation for a while before Dai Mubai bid his farewell and went back to his home.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan,

A group of people can be seen sitting and having a conversation in the hall.

"Clan Master Ning, I will build a new empire and make it the strongest in this continent and I hope that you're on my side." John was smiling while looking at Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi was not shock at all as he already knew this would happen and he already decided what to do if ever something like this would occur.

"John, although we just met for a couple of times, I knew you were kind and powerful. This is my honor to help the person who will stand on top in this continent." Ning Fengzhi politely said. He already decided to support John after all that happened.

John just smiled after hearing what Ning Fengzhi said. He then looked towards the other two men in his side and felt that they don't have any reactions.

"Clan Master Ning, how much do you know about immortal herbs?" John suddenly asked while smiling.

"Immortal Herbs? I heard about them but I don't know that much." Ning Fengzhi truthfully said while being curious why John asked this question.

"Hmm, how about I tell you that I could evolve your spirit into nine treasure glaze tile pagoda with the help of immortal herb." John said while looking at their reactions.

Ning Fengzhi and the other two men looked at John while being surprised.

"John, is what you said really true?" Ning Fengzhi asked. He knew John will never lie about something like this. And he also had some information regarding the evolution of spirits.

"Yes." John said before summoning the immortal herb and present it to Ning Fengzhi.

"This immortal herb is called Beatiful Silk Tulip which could help you evolved your spirit" John said while holding the immortal herb.

Ning Fengzhi and the others looked at the immortal herb. They were astonished by looking at it, especially Ning Fengzhi as he felt some connection towards the Immortal herb. Its appearance had stalk and leaves are all wisteria drapes, finely combed. But at the top is a golden dazzling tulip, and a heavy tulip fragrance giving a splendorous and majestic feeling.

"But this immortal herb could be said to be only the one of this continent as this herb needs how many years to grow another." John said. He discovered that he could buy anything in the store but he doesn't want others to be dependent on him.

"I can give this to you as gift of taking my side." John then gave the Immortal herb to Ning Fengzhi.

After touching the immortal herb, Ning Fengzhi was too excited but he calmed down after he heard what John said before.

"John, I thank you for this generous gift." Ning Fengzhi replied while smiling.

They then talked about things and John also share his plan on building his empire.

After hours of talking, John then head back towards Dugu Yan's mansion.0

..................

Seven Treasured Glazed Tile Clan hall,

"Fengzhi, is this really the good choice?" Uncle Ju suddenly asked.

"Uncle Ju, I think this would be the best decision I made in my life. Let's just support John see what would happen." Ning Fengzhi said while looking at the Beautiful Silk Tulip John gave him.

"Uncle Gu, can you call Rongrong to me." Ning Fengzhi said.

Uncle Gu did not asked and left immediately.

.................

After a while, Uncle Gu arrived together with a beautiful girl.

"Father, why would you summon me? Is there any problem?" Ning Rongrong asked after she arrived at the hall.

"Well, I will give something to you." Ning Fengzhi said. He then present the immortal herb to Ning Rongrong.

Uncle Gu and Uncle Ju on the other hand were surprised after seeing that Fengzhi actually give the immortal herb to Rongrong.

"Father, what is this beautiful herb? I could feel some connection towards it." Ning Rongrong said while being captivated after holding the immortal herb.

"Well, this herb will help you evolve your spirit." Ning Fengzhi answered before repeating the things John told him earlier on how to consume the immortal herb.

Ning Rongrong on the other hand was just following his father instructions.

.................

After several hours, Ning Rongrong suddenly woke up.

Ning Rongrong then first discovered that she actually increased her spirit power by six.

"Father, what kind of herb is this. It actually increased my spirit power by six." Ning Rongrong excitedly said while looking Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi and the others were shocked by Ning Rongrong's words as John told them that it will just evolve the spirit.

Ning Fengzhi then calmed down and then excitedly said" Rongrong, show us your spirit."

Ning Rongrong was confused at the moment but she still followed her father.

Ning Rongrong then show her spirit.

After seeing Ning Rongrong's spirit, Ning Fengzhi, Uncle Ju, and Uncle Gu widened their eyes as they could see the newly evolved Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Ning Rongrong was confused by their reactions but when she looked at her spirit, she was shocked to the core when she noticed something different.

"F-Father, why does my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda have two more layer?" Ning Rongrong shockingly asked.

Ning Fengzhi was very surprised and excited after seeing the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. He then answered "Rongrong, the herb you consumed earlier was actually not an ordinary herb. It was called Beautiful Silk Tulip which is an immortal herb."

"Is there such a herb?!!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed after hearing her father.

"Mmm." Ning Fengzhi nodded while smiling.

"Where did you get this immortal heb father!? Let's picked up some and help our clansmen to evolved their spirit too."

Ning Rongrong excitedly said. After hearing that the immortal herb had such effect, she also hope to help her clansmen.

Ning Fengzhi and the others was smiling after hearing Ning Rongrong. They never thought that Rongrong would actually change this much after how many years living outside the clan.

"Sadly, this immortal herb was actually just given to us and he said that this will only be one of the continent as this herb need to grow for how many years." Ning Fengzhi sadly said. He also hope to help their clan but sadly John told them how the immortal herb would grow.

Ning Rongrong was surprised after hearing her father. She then became sad and asked "Then, who was the person who gave this to us?"

Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong and replied "It's John."

Upon hearing, Ning Rongrong was shocked and then immediately asked again "Did John come here today?"

"Yes, he just left earlier after giving this to us." Ning Fengzhi smiled after seeing Ning Rongrong's reaction.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Ning Rongrong asked when she knew that John actually went here. She then blushed after remembering John's face.

"Hahahahaha" Ning Fengzhi laughed after seeing Ning Rongrong.

Uncle Gu and Uncle Ju just smiled in their conversation.

"Well, you will be meeting from time to time from now on." Ning Fengzhi said.

They then have some conversation in the hall. Ning Fengzhi also said John's plan on making his empire.

After John arrived at the mansion, Sia immediately leaped on John and hugged him.

They then head to the living where the others were resting.

"Are you done with your preparations John?" Zhu Zhuqing asked after seeing John came back.

"Mmm, the building of our empire will go smoothly." John answered while smiling.

John then told them what happened after heading to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and relaxed in the mansion till night.

---Night---

After they done eating dinner, they finally went to bed to rest.

Zhu Zhuqing and Sia was on John's arms as Dugu Yan was still shy to sleep next to John.

"Zhuqing, how about we head back to your family and formally break the engagement between you and Dai Mubai?" John suddenly asked while caressing Zhu Zhuqing's head.

Zhu Zhuqing was surprised after hearing John, she then looked at him and replied "Do we still need to head back there?"

"Well, I also want to visit Star Lou Empire as I have something to do there." John answered.

"Hmmmm, how about we head back to your family after we're done finishing our business here." John said.

"It's good." Zhu Zhuqing replied. She doesn't care whether to head back or not. She was happy just by John's side.

Sia just listen to their conversation while feeling the warmth of John's body.

They then talked for a while before they closed their eyes and sleep.
