"Experience +1."
"Experience +1."
...
The night was like water, with stars shimmering in the sky.
The bright moon quietly hid behind the clouds, as if covering its shy eyes.
Inside the bridal chamber.
The flames of the bright red dragon and phoenix candles flickered constantly, with the melted wax dripping down like tears from the candles.
The long night stretched on, filled with romance.
Bibi Dong was truly enchanting, impossible to resist.
Zhou Yi was so excited that he hadn't slept all night.
As the night ended and the dawn approached.
Zhou Yi gazed at the beautiful woman in his arms, her delicate and charming face flushed with a tempting rosy hue. The corners of her eyes still held a few traces of undried tears, making her look even more pitiful.
Zhou Yi lowered his head and kissed her gently, his consciousness turning toward the system.
Bibi Dong's rewards were quite generous.
There were three.
Reward 1: One 100,000-Year Soul Bone
Reward 2: 100,000 Experience Points
Reward 3: Universe Ring
The 100,000 Experience Points were self-explanatory—enough to cause Zhou Yi's various martial skills to skyrocket, greatly enhancing his combat power.
The 100,000-Year Soul Bone was a right-leg bone.
Zhou Yi took it out and fused with it.
At first, Zhou Yi thought it would only have one powerful skill, similar to the previous 100,000-Year Soul Ring reward, but unexpectedly, it had two.
One was the Power of the Earth. By standing firmly on the ground, Zhou Yi could continuously absorb the power of the earth, enhancing his own strength, making him stronger and more enduring.
The other was the Earth Control Divine Ability, allowing him to control the earth itself.
However, these two abilities depended on the Soul Bone. Without the Soul Bone, Zhou Yi couldn't use them, nor could he pass these abilities on as martial techniques to others.
It was similar to the Soul Bones obtained from hunting 100,000-Year Soul Beasts in the Douluo Continent.
Unlike the previous 100,000-Year Soul Ring reward, which only had one soul skill, Myriad Sword Return to One, that could be passed on to others as a martial technique, even if the Soul Ring was lost, Zhou Yi could still use Myriad Sword Return to One.
Each had its own pros and cons.
Both were useful.
The last reward, the Universe Ring, was even more extraordinary. It contained a small world, about a hundred miles in diameter.
Inside, there were mountains and rivers. It could store living creatures and cultivate spiritual herbs.
Moreover, if Zhou Yi used his energy to activate it, he could even alter the flow of time inside.
"A divine artifact!"
Zhou Yi took ownership of the Universe Ring, placing it on his hand. He couldn't stop admiring it. In the future, he could use it to plant spiritual herbs, essentially creating a portable herb garden.
What was even more important was that if he encountered danger, Zhou Yi could even store people inside and escape with them.
It was convenient and fast.
And highly secure.
"Bibi Dong really came through!"
Looking at the beautiful woman in his arms, Zhou Yi couldn't help but feel a fire ignite in his heart again.
"Hubby..."
Bibi Dong seemed to sense something, waking up. Her blurry eyes were filled with shyness and hesitation as she softly called out.
"Hiss!"
Zhou Yi shuddered all over.
With her like this, it was very hard to resist.
Looks like I'll have to bear with it for Dong Dong.
Zhou Yi immediately flipped over.
"Ah, hubby, no... stop..."
Should I stop or...?
But Zhou Yi didn't give her a chance to finish speaking.
It wasn't clear how long had passed.
The sun had already risen high in the sky. The bright sunlight slipped quietly through the window and gently crawled up Bibi Dong's face, still sleeping in Zhou Yi's arms.
There were traces of tears remaining at the corners of her eyes, as if she could not bear the strain, with a hint of lingering red on her cheeks that hadn't faded, making her look like a drunken beauty.
Zhou Yi watched for a moment, then smiled softly, gently moving Bibi Dong aside and carefully pulling away from her.
But even so, Bibi Dong was still stirred.
She furrowed her brows in slight displeasure and slowly woke up. The first thing she saw was Zhou Yi's strong and muscular body. Remembering what had happened, she couldn't help but grumble with a hint of resentment:
"You bad egg! How am I supposed to face the teacher today?"
"Just don't go then!"
Zhou Yi took Bibi Dong's soft hand in his, gently rubbing her injury and sending a trace of holy energy to heal her:
"I'll tell him you're feeling unwell!"
"Ugh, you!"
Bibi Dong's shyness intensified, and she grabbed a pillow and threw it at Zhou Yi's chest.
"Rest well!"
Zhou Yi chuckled mischievously and covered Bibi Dong with a blanket before leisurely leaving.
He closed the door behind him.
Zhou Yi adjusted his belt and walked with a spirited air.
After washing up, Zhou Yi met with Qian Xunji and informed him that Bibi Dong wasn't feeling well.
Qian Xunji's face darkened.
The others couldn't help but feel a bit awestruck.
"The Martial God Douluo is amazing, and now the Saintess can't even come down!"
"Could this be the power of the Vajra Body?"
"Is it really that terrifying?"
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhou Yi publicly announced that in three days, he would head to the Sunset Forest to select a location for the Martial Sect.
The Martial Sect would be established in the Sunset Forest.
Once this news spread, countless Soul Masters who had been waiting eagerly were thrilled.
Finally, he's here!
Good thing I didn't give up.
Looking at the excited crowd, Zhou Yi continued, "Those who are interested can head to the Sunset Forest. I will be setting up the framework for the Martial Sect there!"
"Setting up the framework for the Martial Sect?"
Although everyone was somewhat puzzled, they were also intrigued.
Countless Soul Masters quickly set off toward the Sunset Forest.
Because they knew.
Zhou Yi's speed would be swift.
Even if he departed in three days.
He might not arrive after them.
If they missed it, they would regret it for life.
Qian Xunji and the others similarly took their leave.
They also planned to go and see.
They wanted to witness how Zhou Yi would carve out the Martial Sect's territory in the Sunset Forest.
Would he draw a circle in public and mark the territory?
Regardless, as this news spread, countless Soul Masters formed groups and set off toward the Sunset Forest.
The journey was not short.
They dared not delay.
Lest they miss it.
As the Soul Masters departed, Notting City seemed to fall silent, empty of people.
And for the next three days, Zhou Yi did not go anywhere.
Every day, he stayed with Bibi Dong, enjoying her company.
Bibi Dong truly lived up to her divine aura.
A natural-born artifact.
It only made Zhou Yi like her more.
The Nine-Bend Yellow River, Eighteen Turns.
Bewitching to the bone, unseen by those around.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Zhou Yi withdrew, flew into the sky, and spread his Wind and Thunder Wings, heading toward the Sunset Forest.
At that moment.
The outskirts of the Sunset Forest.
Were teeming with people.
Countless Soul Masters gathered, sending waves of panic through the Soul Beasts who fled in all directions.
The Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ye, did not expect Zhou Yi to place the Martial Sect so close to him, making him feel both helpless and wary.
Today.
He personally led the royal experts to observe and see what Zhou Yi truly planned to do.
"Look! The Martial God Douluo has arrived!"
With a shout from somewhere, countless people turned their gazes skyward. There, Zhou Yi had already retracted his Wind and Thunder Wings and was stepping through the air.
His ethereal figure, like an immortal or a divine being, captivated everyone and left them in awe.
Zhou Yi waved a greeting to the crowd before heading straight toward the center of the Sunset Forest.
"Hurry, follow him!"
"Is the Martial God Douluo planning to establish the Martial Sect in the center of the Sunset Forest?"
One by one, the Soul Masters rushed toward the inner area.
With so many Soul Masters on the move.
The Soul Beasts in the Sunset Forest had long since fled.
Thus, there would be no danger.
Qian Xunji, along with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, also followed along.
The Sunset Forest was not very large.
Zhou Yi soon reached the center. His sharp gaze swept across the forest, and in that instant, he had a plan in mind.
He descended from the sky.
Behind him, the Soul Masters who had been following at a distance could no longer see Zhou Yi's figure.
"Hurry!"
"Speed up!"
Countless Soul Masters exerted all their strength to rush forward. One of the Soul Saints leading the way suddenly felt a sense of danger.
His body froze for a moment, then he swiftly retreated.
Boom!
The earth trembled as if a great dragon had turned over. Countless rocks and earth rolled, forming an incredibly thick earthen wall that slowly rose from the ground.
"What is this…?"
The arriving Soul Masters paused, staring in shock at the earthen wall rising before them.
Could Zhou Yi really be building a sect himself?
But was that even possible?
Controlling earth and stone to form a wall—many Soul Masters had the corresponding Soul Skills to do so.
However, they could only use their skills a few times before exhausting their Soul Power.
It was impossible to build a city.
Let alone just a wall.
And no Soul Master would ever take on such a laborious task.
"What is Zhou Yi trying to do?"
Qian Xunji stood on a small mound, observing Zhou Yi from afar.
"He doesn't really intend to build a city by himself, does he?"
Suddenly, a tremor ran through Qian Xunji's body. A flash of inspiration hit him in the mind, recalling what Zhou Yi had said about the Twelfth-level Golden Bell Shield, with its endless power.
Could it be true?
Was Zhou Yi really planning to build a city on his own?
