"Medicinal training requires arduous cultivation as well. Seeing that you are willing to work hard at cultivation, I can rest assured that Spirit Hall has a worthy successor."
Qian Xunji smiled. "During this time, I have also been seeking a way to break through to rank ninety-five. Unfortunately, my talent is far inferior to yours. I always feel as though there is a thin membrane preventing me from advancing."
"Come to think of it, the time is about right. You should inherit my position as Pope. That way, I can finally take it easy and properly travel the continent for experience."
"Now?"
Qian Renxin was surprised. He had known that he would inherit the Pope's position someday, but wasn't it a little too early to inherit it now?
"I know what you are thinking. In truth, it would not matter if I waited a few more years for you to grow up. A few years is not long to a top-tier Soul Master."
Qian Xunji slowly explained his reasoning. "But for you, handing the Pope's position to you sooner will allow those below to understand and accept your authority earlier. We can also announce your existence to the other factions. It will ultimately benefit our future conquest of the continent."
"Xin'er, there is no need to worry. It is only a title. Leave the Pope's affairs to Grandpa—you just focus on cultivating."
Qian Daoliu also came over and reassured him with a smile.
As the most powerful faction, Spirit Hall's combat strength even slightly surpassed that of a single empire. Naturally, its next goal was to unify the continent.
Qian Xunji's talent was far from enough to support Spirit Hall's development into the continent's hegemon. He was not suited to be the Pope of a Spirit Hall undergoing explosive growth.
