Distributing Immortal Herbs, Reselecting the Upper Three Sects

The next day, Qian Xunfeng returned in triumph with the Spirit Saint Legion. When Qian Daoliu learned that his outstanding son had emptied out the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect's reserves and even brought back their inherited Soul Bone, he could not help but feel pleased.

The son surpasses the father. My Xunfeng will surely lead Spirit Hall to its peak.

"Big Brother, you finally came. I spent all day yesterday dealing with documents—I'm exhausted."

The moment Qian Xunfeng arrived, Qian Xunji refused to continue. He had stayed up until the middle of the night yesterday before barely finishing the mountain of documents. If this went on every day, it would work him to death.

"Don't worry. I'll arrange for some people to help you handle the documents later. Come with me to the Worship Hall. I have something good for you this time. You might even break through to become a Titled Douluo in one go."

Qian Xunfeng understood as he looked at Qian Xunji, who had been driven to the brink by paperwork. It really was tedious.

At the Worship Hall, a group of reclusive old men had already been waiting for Qian Xunfeng. They had heard that he had prepared Immortal Herbs that could help them advance even further.

"Golden Crocodile, are those Immortal Herbs really as miraculous as you said?"

Qian Daoliu asked Golden Crocodile beside him doubtfully.

It was not that he did not trust his son, but these Immortal Herbs were simply too heaven-defying.

They supposedly had the potential to reach Level 99 Peerless Douluo after absorbing them. In other words, after taking the Immortal Herbs, Spirit Hall would have at least eight Peerless Douluo in the future.

"According to that junior Yue Guan, they truly have such effects."

Golden Crocodile did not hide anything. The other worshippers watched Qian Xunfeng with calm expressions, but stormy waves had already risen within their hearts. Immortal Herbs that could turn them into Peerless Douluo—even if it was only a possibility—how could they remain calm?

"Father, uncles."

Qian Xunfeng brought Qian Xunji, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei to the Worship Hall. The worshippers hurried over and surrounded Qian Xunfeng, their gazes burning.

"Uncles, don't be impatient."

Qian Xunfeng had Yue Guan step forward and distribute the Immortal Herbs one by one.

"This is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, an earth-element Immortal Herb. Elder Golden Crocodile can take it."

"This is the Aromatic Silk Beauty. It can break through Soul Power limits and strengthen the body. Lion Elder should take it. It may even allow him to directly break past the Level 97 limit and step into Level 98."

"This is..."

After the Immortal Herbs had been distributed, the elders swallowed them and began refining them. Qian Xunfeng only consumed the Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew.

Qian Daoliu put away the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. He was already a Level 99 Peerless Douluo and had no use for such Immortal Herbs, so he planned to save it for his unborn grandson or granddaughter.

Qian Xunfeng needed it even less. As one of the Four Angel Kings, he was naturally immune to fire and water, as well as poison. All he lacked was a further increase in spiritual power to condense the Angel's Eye.

Before long, several powerful auras filled the entire Worship Hall.

Every worshipper in the Worship Hall had advanced by one level.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had become a Level 99 Peerless Douluo; Mighty Lion Douluo, a Level 98 Super Douluo; Light Feather Douluo, a Level 97 Super Douluo; Qing Luan Douluo, a Level 98 Super Douluo; and Qian Jun Jiang Mo had both become Level 97 Super Douluo.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei had both reached Level 93, while Qian Xunji had successfully reached Level 90. Once he obtained his final Soul Ring, he would become a true Titled Douluo.

"Congratulations to all the elders on advancing further."

Qian Xunfeng nodded in satisfaction. With all of Spirit Hall's worshippers mobilized, even the Upper Three Sects and the Two Empires together would be nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

"It is all thanks to Feng'er!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo was the most delighted. He had originally lost all hope of becoming a Peerless Douluo, yet at this time, he had received such an enormous opportunity and successfully broken through.

"It is my duty. The stronger you elders become, the better Spirit Hall can fulfill the glory of the Divine Ancestor."

After saying that, Qian Xunfeng looked at Qian Xunji, who had broken through Level 90, and pondered what kind of Soul Ring would suit this younger brother of his, who would be hammered in the future.

"Little Jiji, spend the next few days consolidating your cultivation. Once we receive news of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I'll take you to obtain your Soul Ring."

As if recalling something, Qian Xunfeng added, "Absorb that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone of mine later."

He had no use for it anyway, so he might as well give it to his little brother.

"Thank you, Big Brother."

Qian Xunji looked delighted. He automatically ignored the "Little Jiji" and felt nothing but loyalty toward Qian Xunfeng.

"Mm. Yue Guan, Gui Mei, notify the sects across the land. A new Pope has ascended the throne, and in three months, we will reselect the Upper Three Sects and Lower Four Sects."

"Yes!"

"Oh, right. Summon Hu Yan Zhen. Tell him there is a way for him to break through to become a Titled Douluo."

The next day, as the decree to reselect the Seven Sects was issued, the continent immediately stirred. Some sects that had been concealing their strength were eager to try. They had no hope of entering the Upper Three Sects, but the Lower Four Sects were still worth fighting for.

Hu Yan Zhen, having received Qian Xunfeng's summons, rushed without rest to the Pope's Palace.

"Hu Yan Zhen greets Your Excellency the Pope."

As a qualified lackey of Spirit Hall, Hu Yan Zhen immediately knelt before Qian Xunfeng upon arrival.

"Hu Yan Zhen, eat this Seven-Grade Purple Ganoderma and you will break through to Level 90. Then I'll have Elders Ju Gui take you to acquire your ninth Soul Ring."

Qian Xunfeng did not waste words on pleasantries. He directly handed the Seven-Grade Purple Ganoderma to Hu Yan Zhen.

"This!"

Hu Yan Zhen received the box containing the Seven-Grade Purple Ganoderma with trembling hands. Suppressing the urge to swallow it immediately, he respectfully said to Qian Xunfeng, "From this day forth, my Elephant Armored Sect will follow Spirit Hall to the death and pledge loyalty to Your Excellency the Pope."

"Mm. Swallow it now. I have only one request: I have already injured Yu Yuanzhen. In one month, drive the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect out of the Upper Three Sects."

Qian Xunfeng still remembered Ning Fengzhi, who was always jumping about and talking every day about how the Upper Three Sects shared the same breath and branches.

This time, once the Elephant Armored Sect entered the Upper Three Sects, he wanted to see how Ning Fengzhi would try to win them over.

After all, Hu Yan Zhen had always looked down on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a support sect that had entered the Upper Three Sects by relying on outsiders.

"Yes."

Even if Qian Xunfeng had not said so, Hu Yan Zhen would certainly have attacked the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. Although he looked down on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he could not defeat the two Titled Douluo, Sword Bone.

"Alright, leave."

Time flew by, and only seven days remained until the Sect Grand Election.

The original Upper Three Sects had arrived early.

"Hmph, why is Spirit Hall's new Pope reselecting the Upper Three Sects? No matter how many times they do it, won't it still be the same few? If Grandfather were still here, he would smash that Pope's dog head."

Tang Hao, now Level 73, spoke spiritedly. Ever since Tang Chen had hammered Qian Daoliu, his confidence had begun to swell.

Even though Tang Chen had disappeared, it seemingly did nothing to stop him from looking down on Spirit Hall.

"After all, this is to preserve the honor of our Clear Sky Sect. Let the new Pope stir things up as he pleases—the title of the number one sect under heaven will still belong to our Clear Sky Sect."

Tang Xiao was equally arrogant. It could not be helped; the entire Clear Sky Sect was now unbearably proud, as though they did not regard any other sect as worthy of notice.

"Sigh, our sect currently has only one Titled Douluo—your father. It will not be easy to keep the title of the number one sect under heaven."

Tang Zhen's expression was somewhat grim. The highest-ranked elder in the sect was only Level 89. As the number one sect under heaven, they had only one Titled Douluo, making them inferior even to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, which relied on outsiders.

"Damn Spirit Hall. Father has only been missing for a few years, and they are already targeting our Clear Sky Sect like this. They truly deserve death."
