Background / History
Spirit Hall maintains the Worship Hall as a center of Angel God worship, where the Angel God Statue is revered as its ancestral deity. Qian Renxue prays there for her father’s safety, while the hall’s seven Enshrined Elders convene there with the Pope to address major internal threats. 14
The organization operates its own academy and maintains the Heavenly Spirit Forest, a private Soul Hunting Forest where it raises soul beasts between 10,000 and 30,000 years. The forest is guarded at both gates by Spirit Saints and knight squads. 12
Three years before Qian Yuxi’s return from seclusion, Spirit Hall implemented sweeping reforms. It ceased additional funding for work-study placements at outside academies, removed quota restrictions for free work-study admission at its own academy, and cut Spirit Master subsidies for disciples of the two empires and Upper Three Sects. The policy drew civilian Spirit Masters toward Spirit Hall while weakening unaffiliated academies. 97
