Douluo Continent: Building a Divine Kingdom Starting from the Spirit Hall

Let's wait until we're stronger before making any moves.

As for why he didn't inform the Pope so that he could lead a search party, could he say that he wanted to keep it all to himself?

Not to mention that the immortal herb is also related to the awakening of his second martial soul and his cultivation plan, so it cannot be lost.

"I wonder if Dugu Bo has discovered the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well yet. This is a clue, and we need to keep an eye on it."

As I pondered this, I couldn't help but think of the future Poison Douluo. I wondered if he had found the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well yet. If he had, I could have followed him into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and then sneaked in when he wasn't there to pack up all the herbs inside and take them away, even digging up the roots.

Anyway, those immortal herbs and divine medicines are naturally grown and cannot be considered Dugu Bo's private property, so he has no psychological burden in taking them.

"We need to prepare the protective suits first; that Azure Scale Poisonous Miasma is no joke."

With a quick thought, Tian Hao realized he needed to prepare early, because opportunity favors the prepared mind.

After thinking for a while, Tian Hao finally calmed down and began to cultivate, absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth and refining it into his own attribute-less soul power, which he then filled into his lower dantian.

He had previously transferred the Holy Light Soul Power from his lower dantian to his middle dantian through his meridians, while the lower dantian was used to store his own attribute-less soul power.

His martial soul is purely spiritual, without any soul power attribute. It is a very pure soul power, which is why it can be transformed into holy light soul power without any damage.

However, he cannot give up his attribute-less soul power, as he will need it as a medium to awaken or even cultivate a second martial soul in the future.

He thus entered a peaceful daily cultivation routine, while receiving special training and guidance from Bibi Dong every five days.

Perhaps because he had truly come to terms with it, Bibi Dong's attitude towards him improved considerably, and the two got along fairly well.

However, not long after, her superior, Ling Yuan, came and brought a special recording crystal.

After watching the recording crystal, Tian Hao immediately had Ling Yuan take him to the Papal Palace to meet Qian Xunji.

"Your Majesty, we have received intelligence that Yu Xiaogang has encountered a female Soul Master with a Fire Dragon Martial Soul, and they have been traveling together and have a close relationship."

Upon arriving at the Papal Palace, Tian Hao spoke as he took out his soul tool, activated it with his soul power, and played the video stored within.

In the video, Yu Xiaogang is seen sitting in a restaurant with a man wearing glasses and a woman in a white leather jacket, chatting and laughing as they eat and drink.

The woman even served Yu Xiaogang food from time to time, displaying a rather intimate manner.

"It must be them, but this is too fast. Only half a year has passed. Has Yu Xiaogang forgotten Bibi Dong so quickly? Is it just a fake relationship?"

As Tian Hao watched the video a second time, he couldn't help but complain in his heart again, guessing the identities of the two people. The fateful encounter still happened.

I originally thought it would take another year or even several years, but it happened so quickly.

"It seems the plan is in place. Men like Yu Xiaogang, who are known as talented men, do have a fatal attraction for some women, and the two of them will definitely fall in love in the end."

When they get married, all we need to do is bring Her Highness to the wedding banquet; I believe she will eventually come to terms with it.

After the video finished playing, Tian Hao had a big smile on his face, and Qian Xunji also had a big smile on his face.

For the past six months, he has been troubled by that foolish disciple's matter, and even suppressed Tian Hao's suggestion not to allow Bibi Dong to immediately expand her dantian space.

Now things are basically stable, and we can confidently and boldly train that silly and adorable disciple.

"Your Majesty, this matter is basically over. All we need to do is give Her Highness the video footage we secretly filmed every month. I believe that this will be enough to wear down Her Highness's feelings for Yu Xiaogang until she forgets him completely."

Tian Hao said that the matter was almost settled, and all they needed to do next was wait patiently. They didn't even need to do anything proactively; what was meant to happen would happen eventually.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Secret to Promotion and Salary Increase

"I can finally rest easy now."

With a sigh of relief, Qian Xunji felt much lighter, as if a weight had been lifted from her heart.

"Your Majesty, I would like to take a trip to the Blue Silver Forest."

Taking the opportunity, Tian Hao suggested that it was time to begin the journey to the Blue Silver Forest.

Since he can't find Ah Yin right now, he can only go to the Blue Silver Forest to wait and hope that the Blue Silver King has a way to contact that silly and cute woman.

"Any good ideas this time?"

Qian Xunji asked with great interest, guessing that there must be a reason why the little guy went to the Blue Silver Forest.

"I have some ideas, but I'm not sure yet. I need to study them further before presenting them to Your Majesty."

Tian Hao replied respectfully that he didn't mind sharing the research results, as he still had several empty soul bone slots.

Moreover, he has ambitious plans for his second spirit. The immortal herbs and divine medicines in the Yin-Yang Well alone are probably not enough. He will also need to rely on the power of the Spirit Hall to collect the things he needs.

“Bishop Lingyuan, I will send someone to take over your duties. Complete the handover as soon as possible, and then escort Deacon Tian Hao to the Blue Silver Forest. Be extra careful on the way. If anything happens to Deacon Tian Hao, you don’t need to come back.”

"With this papal decree, you can mobilize all nearby Spirit Hall members in case of danger."

After thinking for a moment, Qian Xunji looked at Ling Yuan and issued an order to her, finally throwing his own papal decree over to her.

Ling Yuan is a vassal family of their Angel Clan, which has been in the Spirit Hall for hundreds of years. Their loyalty is beyond question; otherwise, Tian Hao would not have been assigned to Ling Yuan's command in the first place.

"Yes!"

Upon receiving the Pope's decree, Ling Yuan respectfully accepted the order, showing no surprise at the Pope's excessive attention to Tian Hao.

"Your Holiness, please pass this recording crystal on to Her Highness the Holy Maiden. I will not go there."

Seeing that Qian Xunji agreed to his itinerary, Tian Hao awkwardly pointed to the soul tool.

He dared not personally deliver this thing to Bibi Dong, otherwise who knows if that woman would go berserk.

One of the reasons for launching the Blue Silver Forest project was to leave Wuhun City and avoid the limelight.

"Does Dong'er think he can eat you?"

Amused, Qian Xunji shook his head and agreed to the matter. It was indeed inappropriate to have that kid deliver this thing.

Not lingering there, Tian Hao and Ling Yuan left the Papal Palace.

Once back in her office, Ling Yuan slammed the door shut, grabbed the boy by the collar, and pinned him against the wall.

"Kid, your secret intrigues me."

She leaned close to his ear, licked her lips, and whispered. Ling Yuan finally couldn't contain her curiosity any longer. She had to find out some secrets today, or she would be miserable.

"My secret is big, but too big for you to bear."

Tian Hao remained calm; in fact, he had anticipated this.

"How would you know I can't hold on if you don't tell me?"

The more alluring her smile became, the more curious Ling Yuan grew, her heart feeling like it was being scratched by cat claws.

"I can't control my own secret right now, and I haven't even told my parents. If you want to know, go ask His Holiness the Pope first."

This is also an opportunity for you. Just say that you and I have a good relationship, and that we need to strengthen our forces for this trip. Perhaps His Holiness the Pope will agree to let you join us.

Tian Hao passed the buck to Qian Xunji; he had kept these secrets all along, not even telling his parents.

First, these secrets are too great, and it might not be a good thing for parents to know them. Second, their cultivation level is already stuck at level 29, and those secrets alone are not enough to help them break through. Even if they obtained them at this stage, it would be useless.

But Ling Yuan is different. Safety is the top priority for this trip. Ling Yuan is also a fire attribute and a bird-type martial soul, which is very effective against the Blue Silver King.

If anything unexpected happens, Ling Yuan's strength will be enough to get him out of there.

The Pope must have considered this before; strengthening Ling Yuan's power at this stage would provide him with greater security.

However, Tian Hao might have a problem with this ambiguous attitude. Just as he finished speaking, the wall was suddenly smashed open by a figure, and then another figure rushed in.

"I told you not to have an affair, I'll beat you to death today."

The beautiful female Soul Master who chased after them was quite fierce. She cursed as she pressed the previous figure down and beat it, even using her Martial Soul Possession.

"You've already hooked up with that bastard, so what's wrong with me getting revenge on you and having an affair with his wife?"

The man being beaten and pinned down spoke up defiantly, revealing a surprising amount of information in a single sentence that told a complex and bizarre love story.

The crowd outside initially focused on the abusive couple, but were then drawn to an even more sensational scene, their curiosity ignited instantly.

Realizing what had happened, Ling Yuan immediately stepped back, glared at the boy in embarrassment and anger, turned and left, preparing to go find His Holiness the Pope as soon as possible.

If it's truly an opportunity to improve one's strength, then it's certainly not to be missed.

Tian Hao ignored everyone's stares, straightened his clothes, and walked outside.

"Mouse, you're something else! You actually managed to win over Bishop Lingyuan. What's your secret? Teach me, brother. It's my treat today."

Several of Tian Hao's colleagues, who were familiar with him, gathered around, excitedly and humbly seeking his advice.

They had been wondering why Tian Hao was wearing the deacon's badge, and now they finally understood: he had caught up with Bishop Lingyuan.

Sure, that would save you decades, or even a lifetime, of hard work.

"Nothing special, just a lot of energy and good skills!"

Tian Hao replied with an air of domineering confidence, then walked away with his head held high.

He also took this opportunity to divert everyone's suspicions and rationalize his exceptional promotion, believing that Sister Lingyuan wouldn't care.

I think so?

Ling Yuan was unaware that she had been tricked by the boy. She suppressed her anxiety and went to the Papal Palace as usual, recounting Tian Hao's original words.

Qian Xunji fell into deep thought. Logically, he would not tell those two secrets to anyone outside the Angel Clan unless the Angel Clan unified the entire continent and had an absolute advantage.

However, Ling Yuan and her family are loyal to the Angel Clan and have been trained by the Spirit Hall since childhood, so they are trustworthy. In addition, since they are going to escort that little guy this time, they do need to improve their strength as soon as possible.

"Protect him well, or you'll pay with your head. But if you encounter an unavoidable and desperate situation, you must kill him first and keep it a secret. You must not let him be captured. This takes priority over protecting him."

Thinking of this, Qian Xunji's expression changed, and he said in a cold and serious tone.

He originally intended to assign this task to someone else, but since Ling Yuan had come, and was a loyal follower of their angel clan, he decided to entrust the task to her.

With the spirit kite protecting that little guy, things will be relatively safer, but it's not absolute. If we really encounter a desperate situation, we should kill that kid first to prevent him from falling into someone else's hands.

He could accept the death of such a talent, but he would never allow him to fall into the hands of other forces, otherwise it would be a disaster for the Spirit Hall.

"Ling Yuan swears to serve the Angel race to the death!"

A chill ran down her spine, and Ling Yuan quickly expressed her opinion, saying that compared to the opportunity to improve her strength, this risk was worth taking.

"Go to the Douluo Hall and find the Grand Elder; he will arrange it for you!"

Qian Xunji glanced deeply at Ling Yuan below and gestured for her to go to the Douluo Palace. Next, her father would need to intervene to ensure everything went smoothly.

They even left a contingency plan for that little guy and all the angels back then, to prevent anyone from probing their memories and revealing the secret.

Some things must be handled with caution, otherwise they cannot afford the losses. Not to mention that since the cataclysmic event eighteen years ago, various forces have been stirring up trouble, and this continent will soon be difficult to remain peaceful.
