Lin Yu and the others slowly stepped into the Supreme Pontiff Palace, where all the Titled Douluo powerhouses and high-ranking officials of Spirit Hall came forward to greet them.
Bibi Dong stood in the distance, watching Lin Yu in the crowd.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yu seemed to notice Bibi Dong's gaze as well, turning his head to look at the distant corner and spotting Bibi Dong's figure.
"This boy, in just three months, has given me a sense of unease and trepidation. What exactly did he experience during these three months?"
Just one glance made Bibi Dong feel uneasy; she could no longer see through Lin Yu at all. However, she still didn't believe Lin Yu's power could compare to hers.
But Bibi Dong understood that she had to accelerate her plans.
Lin Yu was also aware that Bibi Dong would inevitably make a move, but at this point, it could be said that no one in the world could threaten his life. Bibi Dong would simply not know that Lin Yu had become terrifyingly powerful, even more so than her current self.
The Spirit Hall's declaration of war was now imminent; the battle to unify the continent would unfold before long. With Spirit Hall's current control of the situation, conquering the entire continent was not an issue.
However, to sweep through the Heaven Dou and Star LuoTwo Great Empires more easily, more thorough preparations were needed: first, dealing with the Clear Sky Sect and Tang San.
They were the only remaining threats to Spirit Hall's unification of the Douluo Continent.
Tang San must be eliminated.
And the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall had old grudges.
Once Spirit Hall unified the Douluo Continent, it would definitely not be a good thing for the Clear Sky Sect. If Spirit Hall launched a war, the Clear Sky Sect might very well come out to assist the Heaven Dou and Star LuoTwo Great Empires.
Therefore, there was a significant probability that the Clear Sky Sect would directly stand on the opposing side, and any threatening enemies should be eliminated as soon as possible.
Upon their return, Qian Renxue re-entered the Angel's Sixth Trial, while Lin Yu returned to the Hall of Judgment, which he oversaw.
At this moment, Lin Tian and Dugu Bo, the two Titled Douluo, were seated on the left and right sides of the main Hall of Judgment.
Lin Yu sat in the central position.
Below stood dozens of core high-ranking officials of the Hall of Judgment. Lin Yu asked, "Is there any news of Tang San or the Clear Sky Sect?"
"Reporting to the Hall Master, we have searched for three months but have not found Tang San's whereabouts, nor have we located the Clear Sky Sect's reclusive dwelling. Please punish us, Hall Master!" A Spirit Douluo subordinate reported the situation with a nervous expression.
"You may withdraw." Lin Yu waved his hand, not blaming them.
Subsequently, Dugu Bo stood up and said, "Before you, Hall Master, went to the sea, I secretly went to Heaven Dou City as per your instructions to find Tang Yuehua, the Moon Pavilion Master."
"Unfortunately, I was still a step too late; Tang Yuehua had already left Heaven Dou City a few days before me."
Tang Yuehua could be said to be the only breakthrough in finding the Clear Sky Sect at present. Without being able to secure Tang Yuehua, finding the Clear Sky Sect would likely not be so easy.
"Never mind." Lin Yu waved his hand and instructed, "Continue to search for the Clear Sky Sect's whereabouts. Additionally, send more personnel to keep a close watch on Slaughter City; Tang San will appear there sooner or later."
"Arrange personnel to monitor all routes leading to Slaughter City."
Since Tang San was the successor of the Asura God, the Asura God would certainly make Tang San go to Slaughter City.
"You may all withdraw. I will enter seclusion for a period of time next."
"Yes! Hall Master!"
After arranging the matters of the Hall of Judgment, Lin Yu immediately entered a state of secluded dual cultivation with Gu Yuena.
Time flew by!
Half a year later!
Qian Renxue completed the Angel's Sixth Trial, her spirit power broke through to the peak of 92, and she finally achieved the Titled Douluo rank, titled Angel!
Angel Douluo, Qian Renxue!
Her ninth spirit ring bestowed a 100,000-year god-bestowed spirit ring, greatly increasing Qian Renxue's strength!
Her combat power had already entered the ranks of high-level Titled Douluo.
And what awaited her next was the Angel's Seventh Trial: pulling out the angel god sword. Once she obtained the power of the angel god sword, Qian Renxue's strength would increase even further.
She also once again broke the record for the youngest Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent, achieving it before the age of 23!
She became the youngest Titled Douluo realm powerhouse in the world at that time!
And in half a year, Lin Yu's spirit power also broke through from level 86 to level 88.
To increase his spirit power by two levels in half a year at the Spirit Douluo realm was an extremely fast speed, all thanks to his dual cultivation with Gu Yuena.
It was also on this day that Lin Yu and Qian Renxue each paused their respective affairs.
Lin Yu emerged from seclusion.
Qian Renxue temporarily paused her trial.
Because today was the day Spirit Hall established its Empire!
It was also the day the Seven Great Sects Re-election Competition had just concluded. The new Seven Great Sects were: the Upper Three Sects (Elephant Armored Academy, Sacred Dragon Sect, Black Tiger Sect), and the Four Lower Sects (Wind Sword Sect, Fire Leopard Sect, Rock Antelope Sect, Sparrow Bee Sect).
At this moment, within the Supreme Pontiff Palace, at the Seven Great Sects Re-election venue, beneath two massive Angel God statues.
Bibi Dong, along with all the Titled Douluo powerhouses.
The two Platinum Bishops, all high-ranking officials of Spirit Hall, and the new Seven Great Sects.
As well as all the large Spirit MasterSects and families that Lin Yu had subjugated years ago, had all gathered here.
Only the Hall of Offerings, and Lin Yu and Qian Renxue's personnel, had not yet arrived.
Because the Hall of Offerings generally did not interfere with affairs; usually, all matters were handled and controlled by the Supreme Pontiff.
So, generally, unless there was something important, the people from the Hall of Offerings would not show up.
At this moment, the atmosphere on site was extremely solemn, just waiting for Bibi Dong to announce the establishment of the Spirit Empire.
With Bibi Dong's entrance, the atmosphere reached its peak.
Bibi Dong, leading Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, slowly walked out from the high circular platform, looking down proudly at all the high-ranking officials of Spirit Hall below.
Soon, she, Bibi Dong, would become the Empress of the Spirit Empire, no longer just the Supreme Pontiff, but also the Empress of an Empire!
But what she didn't know was that at this moment, all the large Spirit Master families, Sects, and the Seven Great Sects within Spirit Hall, as well as the vast majority of Spirit Hall's high-ranking officials, had already pledged their loyalty to Lin Yu.
Most of the high-ranking officials who had once sided with Bibi Dong had already been assimilated by Lin Yu's Hall of Judgment. Even her trusted confidants, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, were now on Lin Yu's side.
Superficially, they still supported Bibi Dong, but in reality, they had long been controlled by the Hall of Offerings and Lin Yu.
The power Bibi Dong wielded within Spirit Hall had been subtly eroded over these years. While it seemed Bibi Dong still held great power, in reality, she was practically a commander without troops.
And Bibi Dong was completely unaware of this.
Bibi Dong held her head high and chest out, exuding an air as if she were already the Empress, looking proudly over the entire assembly, and loudly proclaimed: "You are all elites of my Spirit Hall, and also great warriors who protect the peace of the Douluo Continent."
"For the long-term peace and stability of the Douluo Continent, today, Spirit Hall, in accordance with the will of heaven, officially establishes its nation!"
"It shall be renamed the Spirit Empire!"
"And I shall assume the role of Empress of the Empire!"
Bibi Dong's voice echoed throughout the entire venue, and inwardly, she was laughing wildly: "Hahahaha! Soon, this entire world will be in my hands!"
