Chapter 169, Fifth on the Opportunity Ranking: An Angel Descends!
"Pass down the order!"
Bibi Dong's voice, amplified by her soul power, resounded like thunder throughout the entire Spirit City:
"Anyone belonging to my Spirit Hall who possesses soul power at the Spirit Master level or above, and who is confident in their will and strength, may apply to enter the Rakshasa Secret Realm for cultivation, effective immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the Spirit Masters belonging to the Spirit Hall erupted in cheers.
This was a divine-level secret realm!
Even spending just a quarter of an hour inside would yield an increase in dark attribute affinity equivalent to several years of arduous training outside!
However, Bibi Dong's next words were like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing the hopes of the outside Spirit Masters who were rushing to Spirit City.
"As for those outside the Spirit Hall..."
Bibi Dong's purple eyes narrowed, revealing a chilling glint: "Anyone who dares to step into the Papal Palace's territory will be killed without mercy!"
What a joke!
Although the Rakshasa Secret Realm could be opened to outsiders, if it allowed the two arch-rivals, the two great empires, or other sects to become stronger through it, wouldn't she, the Pope, be being taken advantage of?
Bibi Dong would never do something like aiding the enemy!
Everyone understands the principle of keeping the wealth within the family.
Inside the Hall of Offerings.
The atmosphere was slightly more peaceful compared to the oppressive atmosphere of the Papal Palace.
Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the soaring purple-black pillar of light through the window.
"Ghostly Demon."
Ghost Douluo's body trembled, and he quickly bowed: "Great High Priest."
"Your martial soul is inherently Yin, one could even say it walks the edge of darkness."
"This Rakshasa Secret Realm contains a large amount of extreme malevolence and dark attribute energy, which is an excellent tonic for you."
"Go, don't miss this opportunity."
Canglan Academy.
Lin Yuan, who had just finished arranging the defensive formation at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, hadn't even settled in when he saw the new changes on the sky.
Seeing Bibi Dong's domineering "No outsiders allowed" attitude, Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
"This Bibi Dong, she's got a pretty good plan."
Lin Yuan's gaze fell on Zhu Zhuqing, who stood to the side, her voluptuous figure accentuated by a black leather jacket.
"The evil and dark aura of this Rakshasa Secret Realm, though malevolent, is perfect for tempering Zhuqing's martial soul if she can maintain her composure."
Thinking this, Lin Yuan stood up and beckoned to Zhu Zhuqing.
"Zhuqing, stop practicing."
"Come with me to the Spirit Hall."
Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback, a hint of doubt flashing in her clear eyes: "Teacher, what are we going to the Spirit Hall for? Didn't Bibi Dong say outsiders are forbidden?"
"That's just for the weak."
"Rules?"
"In the face of absolute power, my words are the rules!"
Spirit City, Papal Palace Square.
Thousands of elite Spirit Masters from the Spirit Hall had already gathered there.
In the center of the plaza, a massive purplish-black vortex slowly rotated, emanating a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.
This was the entrance to the Rakshasa Secret Realm!
Bibi Dong sat atop the high platform, watching the Spirit Hall Soul Masters enter in droves, a satisfied smile playing on her lips.
Just then, the previously tranquil sky was suddenly shattered by a piercing sound of tearing cloth.
An undisguised, terrifying pressure instantly descended upon the entire Papal Palace plaza!
"Who goes there?!"
Yue Guan's expression changed drastically, and he shouted sharply.
However, when he saw the white-clad figure stepping out from the spatial rift, the rebuke he was about to utter was swallowed back, and he almost bit his tongue.
"Lin...Lin Yuan?!"
Lin Yuan, carrying Zhu Zhuqing, walked through the air as if on flat ground, completely ignoring the guards who had already drawn their bows, and landed directly at the entrance of the Rakshasa Secret Realm.
He looked up, his gaze passing over the crowd, and met Bibi Dong's eyes on the high platform.
"Your Holiness, it's been a long time."
"My disciple here also cultivates the Netherworld Path, so he'll borrow your precious land to cultivate for a few days."
"You don't mind, do you?"
Bibi Dong's face darkened, and her lips twitched: "Of course, please go ahead."
Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Zhu Zhuqing and said:
"Go, Zhuqing."
"Remember, guard your true heart."
"Yes! Thank you, teacher!"
A trace of emotion and determination flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, then her figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light, and without hesitation, she rushed into the purplish-black vortex.
Just then, golden light shone brightly once more in the sky!

Fourth: Bloodline Purification: Those who possess Angel Martial Souls will have their bloodline purity increased and their cultivation speed increased!
[The celestial canopy guides the location of the opportunity!]
"Power of Faith..."
Above the Hall of Worship, Qian Daoliu looked at this third buff, a glint of light flashing in his aged eyes.
"Issue the decree of my Hall of Worship!"
"The Angel Temple's inheritance is now open to all Soul Masters on the continent who meet the requirements of holiness, light, and fire attributes!"
"As long as one has a righteous heart and devoutly worships the Angel statue, one may enter to cultivate!"
The entire audience erupted in commotion!
"The Great High Priest is wise!"
"Long live the Angel God!"
The reason he made a different choice from Bibi Dong was because the Heavenly Dao could help him gather the power of faith!
It should be noted that the power of faith within the Angel Temple had not been replenished for a long time.
This is why he hasn't used a single ounce of angelic power all these years; it's reserved for Xiaoxue to unlock her inheritance.
In the plaza, Lin Yuan watched this scene, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"As expected of Qian Daoliu, he still has guts. I need to get Xiaoxue back."
Lin Yuan's figure flickered, instantly disappearing from the Papal Palace plaza.
