After gaining knowledge about soul beasts and soul rings from Qian Yucheng, Bibi Dong left.
Soon, she arrived at the Papal Palace and met with Qian Xunji.
Upon meeting, she eagerly said, "Teacher, I've found the right soul beast!"
Qian Xunji looked at her eager eyes and smiled, "Dong'er, you've only been in the library for less than half a day, and you already know which soul beast suits you?" Bibi
Dong said seriously, "Teacher, my martial soul is the Death Spider Emperor, so choosing a spider-type martial soul is definitely better!"
Qian Xunji showed a look of satisfaction; his disciple had a very strong comprehension!
In such a short time, she had already grasped the basic principles of martial soul compatibility.
"That's right. For beast spirits, spirit rings produced by spirit beasts of the same type are relatively easy to absorb, and can exceed the normal lifespan by about 100 years."
"Your choice of a spider-type spirit ring is correct!"
"The Human-Faced Demon Spider in the Star Dou Great Forest, or the Cave Demon Spider in the Sunset Forest—which one do you choose? I'll have Elders Yue Guan and Gui Mei take you to hunt for a suitable spirit ring!"
Bibi Dong was quite happy to hear Qian Xunji's approval.
However, neither of the two spider-type spirit rings her teacher mentioned were her preferred choice.
"Teacher, I saw a spirit beast called the Death Demon Spider in a book. Is it the most suitable spirit beast for me?"
Qian Xunji was taken aback. He hadn't heard much about the Death Demon Spider.
Since it was recorded in the Spirit Hall's library, it must be fine.
However, for safety's sake, he needed to find out more before having someone take Bibi Dong to hunt it.
"The Death Spider, this martial soul seems to be a rare species. Even I, your teacher, have rarely heard of this name!"
"The elders of the Hall of Offerings are experienced and should know the details."
"Let me confirm it before making any arrangements, shall we?"
Qian Xunji said, looking at Bibi Dong.
"Yes, thank you, teacher!" Bibi Dong smiled happily.
"Now that you have completed my test, continue learning about martial souls from Elder Yue Guan."
After saying this, Qian Xunji continued with his work.
"Disciple takes his leave!" Bibi Dong bowed and left the Papal Palace.
After Bibi Dong left, Qian Xunji got up and went to the Hall of Offerings.
…
When Qian Xunji arrived at the Hall of Offerings, he happened to meet the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who was coming out.
"Greetings, Second Elder!" he bowed.
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded: "Yes, Your Holiness, there's no need to be so polite!"
"Second Elder, you are knowledgeable and well-versed in the continent. I have a few questions I'd like to ask. I'm afraid I'll take up a little of your time..."
Qian Xunji explained his purpose: to seek advice.
"Your Holiness, please ask whatever you wish. I will answer to the best of my knowledge!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo said, also curious about what Qian Xunji wanted to ask.
"Second Elder, do you know anything about the Death Demon Spider, a soul beast?"
As soon as Qian Xunji asked this, Golden Crocodile Douluo's expression turned serious.
"Your Holiness, this kind of spirit beast is an extremely rare spider-like spirit beast on the continent!"
"Its danger level is far greater than that of the Human-Faced Demon Spider and the Cave Demon Spider!"
After saying that, he asked, "You don't intend to hunt this kind of spirit beast, do you?"
Qian Xunji said, "Yes, I have that plan, and I want to understand the situation first!"
"This kind of spirit beast already possesses high intelligence at the thousand-year level, can fight low-level Title Douluos at the ten-thousand-year level, and can withstand a level 95 Title Douluo without dying at the fifty-thousand-year level!"
"Its habitat is in the Netherworld Valley in the Netherworld Forest, which is known as a forbidden zone for life. I accidentally wandered in there years ago, and it took me a lot of effort to leave!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo once again shared the information he had learned, and then solemnly said:
"Your Holiness, without sufficient preparation, I suggest you do not rashly enter there, the danger level is too high!"

"If you really want to go, bring four Title Douluos with you, and make sure your safety is guaranteed!"
Qian Xunji's expression turned serious upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected the Death Spider to be so terrifying!
The Netherworld Forest was one of the forbidden areas on the continent.
Like the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, it was not to be easily entered by anyone without the strength of a Super Douluo.
"Thank you, Second Elder. I will consider this matter carefully!"
"Your Holiness is too kind. My suggestion is that it is unnecessary to go to such a dangerous place."
After saying this, Golden Crocodile Douluo left.
After watching him leave, Qian Xunji glanced at the Hall of Elders again before returning to the Papal Palace.
Back in the Papal Palace, he began to consider whether or not to go to the Netherworld Forest.
From the perspective of future cultivation, Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor was worth investing heavily in!
A rare top-tier beast martial soul, becoming a Title Douluo was only a matter of time!
Four Title Douluos—that kind of force could hunt down a 100,000-year-old soul beast!
The greater the risk, the greater the reward, and for a moment he was unsure what to do.
"My disciple has given me, her teacher, a hard time!"
Qian Xunji shook his head and continued with his official duties.
This matter required careful consideration.
...
Qian Yucheng, in the library, looked towards the location of the Papal Palace.
He was curious whether his elder brother would take this risk for Bibi Dong.
The Netherworld Forest;
the Far North;
the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest;
the City of Slaughter;
Seagod Island.
These five places are known as the Five Forbidden Zones of the Douluo Continent.
Only knowledgeable Title Douluos know the extent of their danger!
The Far North and the inner circle of the Star Dou Great Forest were deliberately revealed to the world by the Spirit Hall.
The purpose was to prevent weaker Soul Masters from easily losing their lives!
Ninety percent of Soul Masters were unaware of the other three places.
Besides the Spirit Hall, only the three upper sects knew a few bits and pieces.
According to his understanding, very few within the Spirit Hall knew the location of the Netherworld Forest.
The father is Qian Daoliu;
the second elder is Golden Crocodile Douluo;
and the book-loving Qian Yucheng.
Besides that, almost no one knows anything about him.
Even the current Pope, Qian Xunji, probably hasn't heard of this name!
Meanwhile, Qian Yucheng is very curious about what will happen when Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor absorbs the entire series of Death Demon Spider Soul Rings! Will
her Martial Soul undergo a transformation, some kind of mutation or evolution?!
When Bibi Dong releases her Martial Soul, her lower body transforms into a spider-like shape, looking quite terrifying.
After becoming a god, this symptom disappeared.
If a Martial Soul undergoes a transformation, one is that the Martial Soul possesses the body, attaching the previous spider-patterned armor;
the other is that the Martial Soul becomes ethereal and separates from the body, launching attacks according to one's will.
Similar to the Spider Woman in the original series and Lei Dong of Thunder Academy, their bodies don't change much when they summon their Martial Souls.
This kind of transformation is probably what Bibi Dong yearns for most!
As for Luo Sanpao, that kind of Martial Soul materialization is a failed mutation and doesn't count in this category.
Qian Yucheng withdrew his gaze, looking down at the contents of the Spirit Hall's inaugural chapter, and murmured,
"Bibi Dong, the gears of your destiny are about to reverse!"
"The high and mighty god, seeking to alter the continent's millennia-long格局 (geju, a concept encompassing destiny, status, and power), has chosen a person from another world to orchestrate it all."
"Your tragedy will not be repeated!"
