After the substitution of the prince by a raccoon dog, Qian Renxue, having shed her disguise and returned to her true self, went to see Qian Daoliu. Just like in the original story, Qian Renxue passed the test for inheriting the divine position of the Angel God.
When Qian Yuelong sent people to clean up the Heaven Dou royal treasury, she failed to find the Vast Ocean Universe Cover that Emperor Xueye gave to Tang San before his death in the original story in order to win over Tang San's heart.
She didn't suspect her subordinates of hiding treasures.
Because the newly rotated Imperial Guards are all from the Tianyan Palace, and are absolutely loyal to her.
If a thorough search fails to find it, then it can only be due to automatic plot correction. In the end, the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which possesses the power of the Sea God, will probably still fall into Tang San's hands.
Thinking of this, Qian Yuelong belatedly remembered something else.
It seems that Bibi Dong was unaware of Yu Xiaogang's death.
After returning from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Bibi Dong finished dealing with important matters overnight and then went into seclusion to recuperate. Calculating the days, she would be able to emerge from seclusion in a few more days.
Qian Yuelong thought for a moment and ordered someone to keep an eye on the movements at the Papal Palace. As soon as Bibi Dong came out of seclusion, she sent someone to inform her.
To her surprise, after Bibi Dong emerged from seclusion, she wrote a letter to her, explaining her plan to completely undermine the Heaven Dou royal family and that Yu Xiaogang had died at her hands on the day of the palace coup.
When Bibi Dong learned that Yu Xiaogang had died at her hands, she simply held the letter, remained silent for several seconds, her expression complex, and finally seemed relieved. The letter she sent back to Qian Yuelong was as usual, reminding her to pay attention to the personnel handover in the Tian Dou forces and not to neglect her cultivation, without mentioning a word about Yu Xiaogang's death.
Qian Yuelong felt relieved and entered a new round of busy work.
Intelligence processing, personnel handover, and cultivation.
I spent a year living this monotonous life, going back and forth between three points.
The entire Spirit Hall was immersed in a very busy and competitive atmosphere.
Other factions found this year eerily "quiet".
No one naively believed that the Spirit Hall would settle down after purging the three upper sects.
In the autumn of the following year, the various forces that had been observing the situation witnessed the emergence of the Spirit Hall.
The three major sects on the Douluo Continent are now "no longer worthy of their names," and the Spirit Hall will hold a re-election conference for the seven major sects in the Spirit Holy City.
This was undoubtedly a trap, and also a signal.
The Spirit Hall is openly recruiting powerful sects in another legitimate way.
Meanwhile, the sects and forces that had old grudges against the Spirit Hall were well aware of the Spirit Hall's intentions.
Attending the conference and choosing the honor is one thing, but whether one can safely return to their sect's headquarters afterward is another story entirely.
If one is not careful, one may end up like the former three great sects.
The once mighty Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan now only has a few outer disciples left. The remaining disciples, who survived the war that destroyed the sect, betrayed the sect together with Yu Yongsi and established a completely new sect.
There are many shady dealings within major sects, and the tragedy that befell Yu Yongsi is not an isolated case.
Like sparks, they gathered together, huddled together for warmth, and illuminated the unknown future.
Of the more than a thousand disciples remaining in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, only three or four hundred remained on the day of the Heavenly Dou Palace Incident a year ago.
As for the Clear Sky Sect... After Tang San settled down in the Star Luo Empire, he sent the surviving Min Tang disciples to the Clear Sky Sect's current location to confirm the news of the Clear Sky Sect's massacre.
Tang San was speechless for a moment. After a moment of silence, he still wrote a letter to Tang Hao, who was cultivating and recuperating with his mother, Ah Yin, in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well of Sunset Forest.
Upon receiving the letter, Tang Hao was so angry that his already unhealed injuries worsened, and his face looked even older.
Unable to comfort her husband, A Yin, the Blue Silver Emperor, could only wrap Tang Hao in the leaves of the Blue Silver Emperor to offer silent solace.
Three months later, just when other forces thought the Spirit Hall was going to go quiet again, the Spirit Hall made a move that shocked the entire continent—the Spirit Hall officially established itself as the Spirit Empire.
All the Spirit Hall branches originally located within the two great empires, including the one in the Star Luo Empire, were closed, and the Spirit Masters stationed there were withdrawn.
The branch halls within the Heaven Dou Empire were not closed, because the high-ranking officials and generals in charge of important military forces of the Heaven Dou Empire had been replaced by people from their Martial Soul Empire.
The most stubborn members of the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family had their soul power stripped and were all placed under house arrest in a manor, where they would live under surveillance for the rest of their lives.
This was the best outcome for the royal family members who, apart from those who committed suicide to preserve their bloodline, desperately sought a chance to survive.
The Martial Soul Empire is somewhat patient with peaceful prisoners who are willing to surrender.
However, the Heaven Dou Empire, which they longed for, officially came under the control of the Spirit Empire and became a vassal state in the second month after the Spirit Empire was established.
The Star Luo Empire was not surprised when they learned of this news.
Following the gears of fate, Tang San and his companions arrived at Seagod Island. Upon learning of this, they felt a sense of both relief and impending doom.
They all knew that the Spirit Hall—no, the Spirit Empire—had been lying low for many years, and now it had finally revealed its sharp fangs to the entire continent.
The current empress of the Spirit Empire, Bibi Dong, began to consolidate power after the empire was established and briefly expanded its territory. She integrated the vassal states and noble territories that belonged to them, joined forces with Qian Yuelong to eliminate dissidents, trained the army, promulgated new laws, and continuously revised and improved them to strengthen the Spirit Empire.
The seven newly established sects have contributed significantly in this regard.
With the addition of the powerful Soul Master resources within the new seven major sects and the original combat resources of the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Empire now controls 60% of the Soul Master force on the entire continent.
However, with more people comes more problems, and people's hearts become more complex and unpredictable.
Although some of the new seven major sects had a good relationship with the Spirit Hall before, they also harbored considerable selfishness and ambition.
Everyone here is smart. They may appear indifferent and smile, but if they reveal even the slightest weakness, they will be firmly seized upon and cannot relax for even a moment.
Although the seven new sects have a large number of Soul Masters, none of them are Title Douluo level experts.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have been suppressed by the original three major sects for so many years and unable to rise above their circumstances.
Due to the immense power of the Martial Soul Empire, where there are more than two Title Douluo, the members of the three new sects who longed to obtain body tempering techniques and mental cultivation manuals, after receiving Bibi Dong's promise, also knew when to stop and obediently became mere ornaments to complement the main flowers.
After declining the invitation to tea from Hu Yanzhen, the sect leader of the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the three new upper sects, under the pretext of cultivation, Qian Yuelong's polite smile turned down the moment the other party's figure disappeared from sight, and she pressed her temples in a headache.
Since she improved the different cultivation methods for the members of the seven new sects, Hu Yanzhen and the others have been like dogs eyeing a meat bun. However, due to her background, status, and prestige, they dare not pester her too much.
I was careful, but it was still troublesome. Every time we met, they would openly or secretly try to sell her the sect's young disciples.
Qian Yuelong: "......"
Even 886 would shake his head at that.
Although the host's Dao heart is "all things are equal," it is still ultimately a Dao of ruthlessness.
How could trying to sell romance and love to a host who cultivates the path of ruthlessness possibly yield any results?
—A side note—
I'm a little late, oh dear (pretending to catch up)
