Yue Guan and Gui Mei left the meeting hall. After they walked away, Yue Guan couldn't help but say, "Old Ghost, Old Ghost, you were truly careless this time. If I hadn't seen the detailed intelligence about Lan Ba Academy and stopped it in time, we would have been beaten to death by the enraged Huang Tianmian. I haven't enjoyed all these glory and wealth yet. If I died in such a tragic way, it would be the biggest regret of my life."
Gui Mei wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "After His Holiness the Pope found us, we put the search for Shen Zhinian aside. However, I was worried that His Holiness the Pope would be unhappy, so I stepped up my efforts to investigate the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast. I didn't have time to read any intelligence on this matter. I'm lucky you were there just now, Xiao Guanguan, otherwise I would have really gotten into big trouble."
Yue Guan shook his head and said, "Old Ghost, don't be so reckless next time. His Holiness the Pope isn't the only one who has become a god across the continent. There are several others as well. Among them, the one with the greatest strength and influence, and the one with the deepest involvement, is none other than His Holiness Huang Tian. This powerful god, previously unknown on the continent, was only exposed due to the publication of the Heavenly Dao Ranking. Just think about it and you'll know how deeply his power is hidden."
"Does that mean we have to abandon our Spirit Hall plan?" Gui Mei said in shock. "His Holiness the Pope has been planning for over a decade to establish the Spirit Empire. Even the Saint was sent to the Heaven Dou Empire to hide under a false identity. Are all these years of hard work going to be wasted just like that?"
"Now that His Holiness the Pope is trying to overcome the tribulation, this plan will probably have to be put on hold. After all, if he fails to overcome the tribulation, he will end up dead. No great figure who has reached level 100 and has become a god would not care about this matter." Yue Guan told what he knew.
"Alas, I am still waiting to become a minister after His Holiness the Pope establishes a country."
"Shh, old ghost, don't worry about your life, shut up."
In the meeting room, Bibi Dong sensed something and her eyes instantly turned red. After glancing around, she said, "Xue'er, since you're here, why are you hiding?"
A gust of wind passed by, and a woman in her early twenties appeared in the hall. Her skin was whiter than snow, her nose was straight, her eyes were slightly slender, and she had a stunning face with a bit of majesty. There was a small six-winged angel mark between her eyebrows. Her golden eyes were as calm as water, and there was no energy fluctuation in her body. She looked like an ordinary person.
She was wearing a golden palace dress. The dress was one-piece and seemed to be woven with gold silk. It did not have too many patterns or decorations. The style was simple and elegant. The golden stand-up collar protected her snow-white and slender neck. Her long golden hair was casually draped behind her without being carefully combed, forming a sharp contrast with her neat palace dress.
This was Qian Renxue. She had regained her female form for the first time and appeared before Bibi Dong. She bowed and said, "Greetings, His Holiness the Pope."
Bibi Dong's face was as bright as a flower. Seeing her daughter dressed like this, she thought of herself when she was young and beautiful like her, and how every young talent on the continent was obsessed with her. She walked over, took Qian Renxue's hand, and said, "Xue'er, there's no need to be so restrained. We are the only two people in the hall now. It's been a while since we last met, let's chat."
Qian Renxue smiled and said softly, "Mother, I heard you came here from Wuhun City, so I wanted to come and see you. When I was outside, I heard your conversation with Elders Ju and Gui. Mother, His Majesty Huang Tianmian is not only related to Lanba Academy, but also Yuexuan."
Bibi Dong asked doubtfully, "Yuexuan, what kind of power is that?"
Qian Renxue patiently explained, "Mother, Yuexuan isn't a faction. It's the Tiandou Royal Etiquette Academy, a place dedicated to training the children of nobles and the royal family in etiquette and music. Yuexuan's master, Tang Yuehua, is the younger sister of Haotian Sect's leader, Tang Xiao. When she first appeared on the list, she was a Level 59 Soul King. When I saw her again, she was already a Titled Douluo. Yesterday, when I went to Yuexuan, I discovered that her strength had broken through to Level 99."
Bibi Dong was shocked and said, "How is that possible? It's only been less than two months, how could she have improved so quickly? Even if it was the Heavenly Dao reward when she first made the list, it wouldn't have allowed her to improve so quickly!"
"Mother, the source of all this is probably related to His Majesty Huang Tian. From what I've gathered, Tang Yuehua was unable to cultivate several years ago due to a martial soul mutation. Who would have thought that her strength would rise so high after marrying His Majesty Huang Tian three years ago? As for Lan Ba Academy's Dean Liu Erlong, from what I've gathered, she was only a level 80 Soul Douluo four years ago. After marrying His Majesty Huang Tian, she first appeared on the list at level 96. The Heavenly Dao reward should have allowed her to increase her level by one or two. I heard that she's been in seclusion for the past two months, so she should have reached level 99."
"A useless person who couldn't practice three years ago has now reached the ninety-ninth level. This is terrifying. His Majesty Huang Tian's methods are simply unbelievable. It seems that I made the right decision to come to the Tiandou Empire this time!"
Bibi Dong was very excited when she heard this. She had never heard of such a method before, that a useless person could be able to cultivate to the ninety-ninth level in three years. Or she could ask him for help to overcome the tribulation, but she didn't know what price she would have to pay to make His Majesty Huang Tian take action.
Qian Renxue asked doubtfully, "Mother, what do you want to talk to His Majesty Huang Tian about this time?"
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment and said, "I plan to ask His Majesty Huang Tian for help when I'm going through the tribulation. There's no precedent in the history of Douluo Continent for becoming a god requiring a tribulation, but since the advent of the Heavenly Dao Golden List, all the rules have changed. I'm afraid I won't be able to successfully overcome the tribulation, so I want to find a helping hand. After much thought, I think His Majesty Huang Tian became a god even earlier than us, so he must have experience in tribulation."
"Mother, you think so too. I also plan to ask His Majesty Huang Tianmian for help. But mother, I am still Xue Qinghe now, so I don't think it is appropriate. Do you think I should fake my death to escape and return to my female body?" Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong with pleading eyes, hoping that she would agree to her request.
Bibi Dong didn't say anything, many thoughts flashed through her mind. The hard planning for more than ten years, the effort, manpower and material resources she put in were far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. She originally couldn't accept letting it go, but she had to admit that if she failed to survive the tribulation, then this plan would be like a mirage, and it would disappear directly. The next Pope would not carry out the plan of the previous Pope, even if she was the disciple of the previous Pope.
"Mother, mother." Qian Renxue saw Bibi Dong fell silent, and shook her arm anxiously and called out.
Bibi Dong came back to her senses and lovingly touched the back of Qian Renxue's head. She smiled and said, "I've decided to give up the plan to establish a country. Xue'er, you can fake your death and get away. Now you are a god after all, and the Holy Maiden of my Spirit Hall. Naturally, you can't stay in this Heaven Dou Empire forever."
"Thank you, mother. I will make arrangements right away and fake my death to escape as soon as possible." Qian Renxue jumped up happily and said.
