Chapter 125: Reactions from All Parties, the High Profile of the Spirit Hall
Spirit Hall.
The day for Hu Bai's inauguration as Holy Son was gradually approaching.
These past few days, Spirit City has been incredibly lively, with various forces—big and small—sending people to Spirit Hall in advance, simply waiting for this day to arrive.
When they learned that the Holy Son of Spirit Hall was only ten years old and had already reached the Soul Ancestor Realm, their moods varied.
The Lower Four Sects, which were relatively close to Spirit Hall, were quite excited, hoping that Hu Bai would grow up quickly, as Spirit Hall now had a worthy successor.
However, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Two Great Empires were likely feeling quite uncomfortable.
After a month of fermentation, this matter had become known to everyone across the continent—from the powerful nobles to the commoners in remote villages. Spirit Hall was very high-profile this time.
Therefore, Yu Xiaogang, who was far away at Nuoding Academy, also knew about this.
This made him pause; some people were born in Rome, while others were born as beasts of burden.
But what about him?
He was a beast of burden!
Back then, as the Young Lord of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, everyone had high hopes for him; his father, Yu Yuanzhen, possessed innate full soul power talent and was the strongest in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. As his son, he naturally wouldn't be too bad.
But what about him?
Innate half-level soul power!
Generally speaking, when people talked about innate soul power, they referred to whole numbers, but his was a decimal!
The family had expended enormous resources—various medicinal herbs and medicinal baths—but his cultivation had been stuck at rank twenty-nine for an unknown number of years.
Hu Bai's talent was truly enviable!
This time, Spirit Hall's high-profile actions also piqued his curiosity; he wanted to go and see how Bibi Dong cultivated this disciple and why he could achieve Soul Ancestor at such a young age.
Could it be that Spirit Hall had made a breakthrough in its research on how to improve a Soul Master's cultivation?
As soon as he thought of this possibility, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but get excited.
'No, I must go and see!'
Undoubtedly, Spirit Hall's actions this time were very successful; they sent out many invitations, delivering them to all forces—big and small.
One invitation even fell into Tang Yuehua's hands.
Currently, among the Clear Sky Sect members outside, besides Tang Hao, only she—the Dean of Moon Pavilion—remained. Spirit Hall's actions were a blatant provocation; they wanted to see if the Clear Sky Sect would emerge from seclusion because of this and harm Spirit Hall's promising talent.
It wasn't that there were no elders within Spirit Hall who questioned this; being so high-profile, wasn't it just creating enemies for Holy Son and the Young Miss?
Weren't they afraid of things going wrong?
But Qian Daoliu only said a few words: "I've got everything."
These four short words were filled with extreme confidence!
During this period, as Hu Bai had instructed, Spirit Hall Academy had erected angel statues in the five directions: southeast, northwest, and center, for students and teachers to worship.
Each sincere worship earned the academy ten points daily, and as mentioned before, these points could be exchanged for many good things.
Among the most valuable were the Foundation Establishment Pill and Spirit Ascension Pill, researched and developed by Dugu Bo, Yue Guan, Yang Wudi, and others.
Foundation Establishment Pill: Can increase innate soul power level; for levels below three, there's over a 70% chance of increasing innate soul power by one level; for levels between three and six, there's a 50% chance of increasing soul power by half a level, and so on.
The Soul Ascension Pill, on the other hand, could provide a Soul Master with the total soul power needed to advance from level thirty to level thirty-one.
The formulas for these two medicinal pills were developed by Hu Bai, Dugu Bo, and two others after several failures, and then refined by several trustworthy core disciples of the Breaking Clan. They were extremely precious!
The Foundation Establishment Pill was actually an enhanced version of the Mystic Water Pill; the main materials for both medicinal pills were the various herbal essences from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
To obtain these two medicinal pills, besides meeting the point requirements, one also needed to complete a mission experience, which showed how precious these pills were!
As soon as these two medicinal pills appeared in the academy, they excited students from all academies; whether talented or not, these pills were useful.
Therefore, besides cultivating, students were also very active in doing missions, and they were certainly willing to do good deeds, like sincerely worshipping for fifteen minutes to earn ten points.
It was precisely because of this that the faith power of the angels in the Worship Hall had accumulated quite a bit during this period.
The originally nearly depleted angel's divine power, only enough for use within Spirit City, could now be stored in his body and exerted externally.
Qian Daoliu actually knew about this method before, but why didn't he use it?
Firstly, the person on this continent who could threaten him was missing, and secondly, this divine power would be enough for Qian Renxue's future divine examination and his use within Spirit Hall.
But now it was different; for Qian Renxue and Hu Bai, it was time for his old bones to get some exercise, and so, to be safe, this angel divine power became very important.
His current defiance of the Clear Sky Sect was actually a test to see if Tang Chen would be lured out by him.
If he didn't come out even then, had Tang Chen truly fallen?
If he had fallen, what other force on this continent could stop Spirit Hall's unification?
Right now, if Spirit Hall raised its arm and declared the establishment of the Spirit Empire, it would receive the support of over seventy percent of the commoners on the continent!
This might even be an underestimate!
It should be noted that during this period, the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall was also very busy; besides cultivating, she had to issue various policies benefiting the people.
For example: building roads, constructing buildings, letting unemployed commoners help, and giving them considerable rewards, and so on.
Now Spirit Hall covered subsidies for all commoner Soul Masters who joined them, and after calculating expenses, she found that it wasn't much more than before, which made her realize that there had been too much internal corruption before.
This current situation was just right!
As for Hu Bai himself, he wasn't afraid; Yue Guan and Gui Mei were like his personal bodyguards. Whenever he went out for experience, they would guard him in the dark, plus with Ling Yuan.
Even if Tang Hao came, he would have to stay!
On this day, Spirit Hall's inauguration ceremony arrived.
Representatives from various major forces ascended Pope Mountain one after another.
Inside Spirit Hall, Hu Bai wore a luxurious white robe adorned with various golden patterns, making him look very mature.
"Hu Bai, after you become Holy Son, can we go to the Extreme North?"
Tian Meng's voice echoed in Hu Bai's spiritual sea, sounding a bit impatient.
During this time, Hu Bai hadn't let Tian Meng fall into a deep sleep; he had promised him that he would keep him awake when they went to the Extreme North.
And when Tian Meng learned that Hu Bai was going to the Extreme North this time to obtain the Legacy of the Ice God and integrate it into his own Seven Elements Legacy, he became even more fawning toward Hu Bai.
