Chapter 6: Arriving at Spirit City, Meeting Bibi Dong
"May I know your name?" Long Yu respectfully said, "I don't know."
"I am Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, a Level 95 Super Douluo, the right-hand man of the Supreme Pontiff. You can just call me Chrysanthemum Douluo," Chrysanthemum Douluo patiently replied.
"Then, may I call you Uncle Ju?" Long Yu tentatively asked.
"Whatever," Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't bother with such trivialities. Of course, if it were an ordinary person calling him that, he would probably kill that person with a single palm strike.
Along the way, the two talked about things related to Spirit Hall, and Long Yu also learned some cultivation techniques from Chrysanthemum Douluo.
The reason for building a good relationship with Chrysanthemum Douluo now, besides Chrysanthemum Douluo's own strength, is more importantly because of Immortal Herbs!
In the original work, among the Shrek Seven Devils, only Tang San and Oscar had the strongest talent. The others, before obtaining Immortal Herbs, could only be said to have very good talent, not yet reaching the level of becoming gods later on.
Long Yu estimated their level to be similar to Spirit Hall's Golden Generation, with some even being much worse.
And on the Douluo Continent, besides Tang San and Chrysanthemum Douluo, Long Yu didn't know anyone else who recognized those Immortal Herbs.
Relying solely on Long Yu's memory of the original work's descriptions, Long Yu didn't dare to say that he could truly identify the types of Immortal Herbs.
Moreover, what if there were other Immortal Herbs? Therefore, building a good relationship with Chrysanthemum Douluo now would only bring benefits.
A figure saw Long Yu and Chrysanthemum Douluo board the carriage, sighed, and then left for Spirit City.
Fasinuo Province is located in the southwest of Heaven Dou, and Spirit City is located in the center of the Douluo Continent. Since the two were traveling by carriage, it was estimated to take half a month.
Chrysanthemum Douluo had previously traveled at the full speed of a Super Douluo to arrive so quickly.
This Spirit City was directly allocated to Spirit Hall by the Two Great Empires as a directly administered city, possessing the most top-tier powerhouses and the most powerful Spirit Master forces.
Half a month later, Spirit City welcomed a luxurious carriage, slowly entering this magnificent Spirit City. The soldiers and Spirit Masters in the city, seeing a striking golden chrysanthemum pattern on the carriage, knew that Chrysanthemum Douluo was inside and all made way.
"This Spirit City is indeed very prosperous, and everyone here is a Spirit Master." He had seen many large cities on the road during the past half month, and even the imperial city of the Heaven Dou Empire was far inferior to this place.
"This is the sacred land for countless Spirit Masters, so it is naturally prosperous." Chrysanthemum Douluo also seemed to be in a good mood; he had finally returned and completed the Supreme Pontiff's mission.
Moreover, through their conversations over the past half month, he found that he quite liked this child and even had the idea of taking him as a disciple.
However, this still depended on the Supreme Pontiff's wishes. What if the Supreme Pontiff wanted to take him as a disciple?
The two finally arrived at the center of Spirit City—the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Stop," a deep voice came.
Both of them got out of the carriage, feeling the sunlight and fresh air outside. Long Yu also stretched lazily.
Then Chrysanthemum Douluo took out his Elder token. After showing it, the armored temple guards finally moved aside.
Even if the temple guards recognized His Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, they still had to routinely check the token.
Then he said, "Elder Ju, His Excellency the Supreme Pontiff has instructed that once you return, you are to bring that child to the Supreme Pontiff Palace."
"Understood, Xiao Yu, let's go," Chrysanthemum Douluo said, taking Long Yu's hand and heading towards the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Long Yu was not surprised. With Bibi Dong's methods, she probably already knew about their arrival before they even entered Spirit City.
The Supreme Pontiff Palace was very large and magnificent. Even though Long Yu had seen some royal palaces on Earth, he still marveled at the grandiosity of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Upon entering the main hall, a graceful figure sat on the Supreme Pontiff's throne in the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Greetings, Your Excellency the Supreme Pontiff. Your subordinate Yue Guan has completed the mission and brought back the person you requested. This is his information." Chrysanthemum Douluo bowed, took out the parchment, and then the parchment floated before Bibi Dong.
Long Yu, seeing this, also followed suit and bowed, while also hearing the system's voice.
"Ding! Completed the mission to sign in at the Supreme Pontiff Palace. Reward: Movement Technique: Phoenix Dance Six Illusions.
Ding! Triggered mission: Become a disciple of Spirit Hall's Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong. Mission Reward: Dragon Emperor Spear, with a set of Dragon Emperor Spear Technique. Time Limit: None." Subsequently, a memory about the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions movement technique appeared in Long Yu's mind.
Phoenix Dance Six Illusions, from 'Qin's Moon' sister series 'Nine Songs of the Moving Heavens', is Bai Feng's technique that utilizes high-speed movement and afterimages to create six clones to attack enemies, making it impossible to guard against, and extremely fast.
Compared to the people on the Douluo Continent who rely too much on Spirits, martial arts are not cultivated by anyone.
In the original work, Tang San, relying on Tang Sect's Secret Skills, repeatedly turned the tide and displayed extraordinary strength.
"Yue Guan, you must be tired after all these days of travel. Go and rest first.
Leave that child here; I have something to say." A clear yet undeniable dignified voice came.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Supreme Pontiff." Then Chrysanthemum Douluo withdrew.
Subsequently, the main hall doors closed, leaving only Bibi Dong and Long Yu.
"Innate Full spirit power Level 20, Long Yu, Nine-Colored Dragon? What kind of Spirit is this? Who exactly are you?" Bibi Dong stood up, her gaze fixed on Long Yu, carrying a hint of coldness and curiosity, while also releasing a trace of pressure.
Is this the child with divine force? He looks good. A dragon-type Spirit, besides the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, I haven't heard of any other famous ones.
Long Yu looked up at Bibi Dong before him, her wine-red hair draped over her shoulders, her delicate face like jade, her exquisite features carrying an air of majesty, and her voluptuous figure enveloped by a magnificent Supreme Pontiff robe.
Although Long Yu knew that Bibi Dong was already past fifty, time had only made her more charming and mature, even more beautiful than in the anime.
This stunning woman before him was the ultimate boss of Spirit Hall in the original work.
Although she possessed the top strength and noble status on the Douluo Continent, she was actually a very pitiful woman.
To be with the man she loved, she was willing to be expelled from Spirit Hall, and then she was violated by her respected master.
Then she gave birth to a daughter whom she hated and Qian Renxue also hated her. The man she loved could not give her any protection or promises, and that man also fell in love with other women.
The Spirit Hunting plan she had schemed for so many years was also ruined by Tang San. Even after becoming a god and killing Tang San with Qian Renxue, she still failed and was ultimately killed by Tang San after his resurrection.
Although her appearance, talent, strength, and status had reached the peak of the Douluo Continent, Long Yu still felt regret and pity for her.
However, now that he had joined Spirit Hall, the situation in the original work would no longer occur.
"Your Excellency the Supreme Pontiff, I am just Long Yu, with no other identity. My information is all on that parchment. I have already joined Spirit Hall, do you still not believe me?
Moreover, with Your Excellency the Supreme Pontiff's methods, investigating my identity would be a very simple matter," Long Yu said calmly, while the Dragon God Martial Soul within him secretly resisted Bibi Dong's pressure, his expression unchanged.
"I will not trust anyone. I only trust my own strength!
However, since you have joined Spirit Hall, with your talent, how do you plan to cultivate? Then enter Spirit Hall Academy to cultivate," Bibi Dong said somewhat indifferently. Just now, she seemed to feel a hint of pity in the child's eyes.
Having been hurt by the two men she cared about most, she now had no good feelings for men. As for Long Yu's information, she had indeed sent people to investigate, and there were no problems.
"No, Your Excellency the Supreme Pontiff, I want to become your disciple," Long Yu shook his head and said.
