The hall fell silent, with only the flickering lamplight remaining.
After a moment, Ning Mingyuan slowly raised his head and looked around at everyone in the hall: "Since everyone is here today, I will announce another matter."
All eyes were on him.
“Charm.” Ning Mingyuan’s gaze fell on a young man.
Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and bowed respectfully: "Father."
"As your father... I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for much longer."
“Father, you…” Ning Fengzhi suddenly looked up, his eyes instantly reddening.
Ning Mingyuan raised his hand, stopping him from saying what he was about to say:
"No need for further words. After your Uncle Gu is buried, you should prepare to take over the position of sect leader. This responsibility is yours to shoulder."
Ning Fengzhi gritted his teeth and bowed deeply: "Your son... will certainly live up to Father's expectations!"
From a young age, he was raised as the young sect leader, and he knew that everything should be done with the sect first and the overall situation in mind.
Now that he has encountered such a change, he must shoulder this heavy burden for his father.
"Very good." Ning Mingyuan nodded in satisfaction, then looked around and said in a hoarse but heavy voice, "Everyone, pass on my order: the entire sect shall mourn for the ancient banyan tree for three days!"
"Yes, Sect Master!"
The crowd responded in unison, their voices echoing throughout the hall, yet they could not suppress the grief and heaviness in their hearts.
Chapter 149 Condensing the Soul Core in the Offering Hall
The next day.
Wuhun City, Hall of Offerings.
Sunlight streamed down the dome, bathing the solemn hall in a golden glow.
The palace doors slowly opened, and Qian Xunji and Su Mo stepped in side by side.
When Su Mo arrived, the other worshippers all smiled kindly.
After Su Mo greeted everyone, Qian Xunji stepped forward and spoke solemnly:
"Father, uncles, Xiao Mo and I have come here today to report a few important matters."
All eyes turned to Qian Xunji.
Without any hesitation, Qian Xunji recounted Su Mo's current cultivation level, the fact that Gu Rong was killed in the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, the fact that Tang Hao truly died at Su Mo's hands, the existence of Seagod Island, and his idea of unifying the continent.
After he finished speaking, the hall fell into a deathly silence.
This series of news hit everyone like a heavy hammer.
Of all the news, Poseidon Island was of the greatest interest to them, since it concerned the gods.
"Eight Title Douluo?" Qian Daoliu looked shocked and murmured, "There is such a powerful force with divine inheritance hidden in this overseas land."
He pondered for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Little Mo, is Poseidon, the high priest of Poseidon Island, like me, a high priest of the gods?"
“That’s right.” Su Mo nodded slightly. “She is indeed the High Priestess of the Sea God.”
Qian Daoliu frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes: "But aren't high priests of gods destined to never become gods?"
This is an ironclad rule that he knows all too well.
Throughout his life, Qian Daoliu could only serve as the high priest of the angel god, paving the way for future generations, and had no chance of personally stepping into the divine realm.
“That is indeed the rule. However, the Asura God behind me is more powerful than the Sea God. Out of respect for the Asura God, the Sea God made an exception and bestowed the Nine Trials of the Sea God upon Poseidon.”
"I see..." Qian Daoliu suddenly realized, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Then, he changed the subject, his tone full of protectiveness:
"Xiao Mo, you can rest assured about Tang Hao and Gu Rong."
With a few of us old guys around, if they dare to lay a finger on you, we'll make sure they don't leave alive!
In his heart, although he had some old friendship with Tang Chen, compared with Su Mo, that friendship was naturally not worth mentioning.
"Big Brother is right!" Golden Crocodile Douluo echoed loudly, "With the Spirit Hall's current strength, who on the entire continent can rival us?"
This is no exaggeration.
The Hall of Offerings alone is overseen by two peerless Douluo, Qian Daoliu and Jin E.
The Lion and the Azure Phoenix have reached level 98, while the other offerings have all broken through to level 97.
In the Elder Hall, the titled elders who had absorbed the immortal herbs were all incredibly powerful, and any one of them could easily intimidate a region.
If we add Su Mo, the future god, to that list.
It can be said that even if all the major forces unite, they are no match for the Spirit Hall in terms of high-end combat power.
"Thank you all for offering to my grandfather. However, with my current strength, even Tang Chen is no match for me, so you don't need to worry about me," Su Mo said calmly.
The various retainers nodded with satisfaction. In their view, Su Mo's current strength was indeed invincible on the continent, and there was no need to worry too much.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu's gaze swept over the various worshippers, and he asked in a deep voice:
"What do you think of the proposal regarding the unification of the mainland?"
He had always disliked seeing people suffer, but he had to admit that Qian Xunji's words were indeed true.
For many years, the mainland was divided between two great empires. Nobles in various regions oppressed the common people, border frictions were constant, and wars of all sizes never truly subsided.
If this situation continues, even more people will die.
Rather than letting the war drag on endlessly, it would be better to wipe it out in one fell swoop and achieve complete unification.
Moreover, the foundation of the angel god is the power of faith.
If the mainland can truly be unified, it will be entirely beneficial to the angels and God.
In the future, if his granddaughter truly inherits the position of angel, it will be a great help to Qian Renxue.
"I agree!" Golden Crocodile Douluo was the first to speak, "The Heaven Dou Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are already mortal enemies in the open."
As for the Haotian Sect, although they still do not know that Tang Hao died at the hands of Xiao Mo, there are no secrets in the world. If the truth comes out in the future, the Haotian Sect will never let it go.
Since we're bound to be enemies sooner or later, we might as well wipe out these forces completely and unify the continent in one fell swoop!
"Second Brother is right, I second that," Lion Douluo said in a deep voice.
“I agree as well,” said Qingluan Douluo.
The other members of the temple exchanged glances and nodded in unison: "We agree too!"
In their view, the Spirit Hall already possessed the foundation and strength to unify the continent, and there was no need for them to be timid and hesitant.
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly:
"Since that's the case, I have no objection."
Ji'er, then go ahead and do it.
However, it is imperative to make thorough preparations, and to subdue those that can be subdued first, minimizing bloodshed as much as possible.
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji's eyes blazed with fervor: "Yes, Father! Your son will not fail you!"
Then, he turned to Su Mo beside him and said, "Little Mo, now you can tell me about the Soul Core Technique."
"Soul Core?" Qian Daoliu raised an eyebrow, his face full of doubt. "What is that? I've lived for so many years and have never heard of it before."
Not only him, but the other worshippers also pricked up their ears, their faces full of curiosity.
It's rare to find something so unfamiliar to these powerful figures who stand at the pinnacle of the continent.
Soon, Su Mo calmly explained the concept of the soul core, the key points of each step in its condensation, and his own insights and experiences during the condensation process.
The more the worshippers listened, the brighter their eyes became, their faces filled with eager anticipation.
At their level, every further advancement is incredibly difficult, and this Soul Core method is like opening a completely new door for them.
“Gentlemen, please pay homage to your grandfather,” Su Mo reminded with a smile, “Although this method has certain risks, with your cultivation levels, it should not be a problem.”
You can start trying it now. I'll stay here the whole time and be ready to help if anything goes wrong.
Although several deities were capable of condensing dual soul cores, Su Mo did not explain the concept of dual soul cores.
After all, he himself has only condensed one soul core so far.
Moreover, dual-soul cores are even more dangerous, especially the yin-yang complementarity.
So it's not too late to talk about it after he succeeds.
At this moment, the several elders could no longer contain themselves. They sat cross-legged in their respective positions, closed their eyes, and, following the method taught by Su Mo, mobilized the vast soul power within their bodies to begin condensing their first soul core.
Qian Xunji quietly withdrew from the hall and hurried back to the Papal Palace.
He needed to first settle all the matters at hand before returning to join everyone in seclusion to condense their soul cores.
Chapter 150 Forming an Alliance to Resist the Spirit Hall
A month later.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Today is the inauguration ceremony for the new sect leader.
At this moment, the ceremony had just concluded.
Inside the council hall.
Ning Fengzhi sat upright in the main seat.
He was dressed in a brocade robe, and although his face was young, his brows already revealed a sense of composure and majesty that came with assuming the highest position.
The next seat was occupied by Tang Xiao, the sect leader of the Haotian Sect, and Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.
Next is Prince Xue Xing of the Heavenly Dou Empire.
These are the most important guests at this ceremony.
After the ceremony, Ning Fengzhi specially asked the group to stay.
