Seven Days Later, the Pagoda Officially Opens!

Huo Yuhao's Divine Power, at the Spirit Domain Realm, swept over the area discreetly. The brief, probing touch was enough for Huo Yuhao to understand the situation.

Dai Yun'er's Divine Power is quite strong; although it's far inferior to his, she's definitely one of the best among her peers.

Moreover, the instant his Divine Power swept over the other party, he suddenly caught a very familiar mental fluctuation, which resonated subtly with his own Divine Power.

He was slightly taken aback, but instantly realized that the other party's martial soul was the same as his own—it was also the Spirit Eyes!

Previously, Huo Yuhao didn't have much of an opinion about the Star Luo Imperial Family, but now, seeing a girl with the same martial soul as him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of surprise and unease.

He looked into the other person's blue eyes, which bore a striking resemblance to his own, and asked with unwavering composure, "Does the Star Luo Empire also pay attention to the Federation's Youth Genius Ranking?"

Dai Yun'er smiled and said, "Although the two continents are far apart, information still flows between them."

Huo Yuhao didn't respond to her comment, but suddenly changed the subject. "You seem to be paying a lot of attention to me? From the moment you walked over, your gaze has been fixed on me."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin, Xie Xie, and Xu Xiaoyan almost simultaneously turned their heads to look at Gu Yue, who was sitting next to Huo Yuhao.

Gu Yue remained calm and aloof, as always, prompting the three of them to silently withdraw their gaze.

But then they saw a strange light flash across Dai Yun'er's deep blue eyes, and she was clearly stunned for a moment, as if she had not expected Huo Yuhao to say something so direct.

However, she perfectly concealed her momentary lapse in composure, resuming her bright smile, "After all, your name and appearance are quite unique, so it's perfectly normal for me to pay attention to you, isn't it?"

Who is Dai Yun'er? She is the little princess of the Star Luo Imperial Family, the apple of the emperor's eye, who was pampered by the emperor and her brothers since childhood.

The clever and mischievous girl naturally sensed the special emotion in Huo Yuhao's words, so she directly and bluntly retorted.

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly, then cut to the chase and asked directly, "So, what brings you here?"

Dai Yun'er gave a soft snort, put her hands behind her back, raised her chin slightly, and resumed her proud little princess demeanor.

"Nothing much, I was just curious about you and happened to be passing by."

"Now that we see it, it's not that great."

After saying that, she turned around decisively, her long golden hair drawing a graceful arc in the air, her skirt swaying, and walked towards the Star Luo Delegation without looking back.

However, after taking a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned her head slightly, and glanced at Huo Yuhao from the side with her azure eyes, saying, "By the way, when we arrive in the Star Luo Empire, someone will summon you."

Xie Xie finally let out a long breath as he watched Dai Yun'er's golden figure gradually disappear into the distance.

He nudged Huo Yuhao's arm with his elbow and whispered, "Yuhao, I think she might have a crush on you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly shivered, feeling as if the temperature around him had dropped several degrees in an instant.

Xie Xie stiffly turned his neck and looked up, only to meet the cold gaze emanating from Gu Yue's purple eyes.

He immediately sat up straight, a polite but embarrassed smile plastered on his face, and waved his hands repeatedly, correcting himself, "Ah! I was just kidding, just kidding, Gu Yue, don't take it seriously, I was just saying it casually."

Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.

The open space to the east of the palace was a desolate area full of rubble and stones just a year ago, after the Old Prince's Mansion had been leveled.

Now, just one year later, a magnificent eight-story tower has sprung up.

The tower-shaped building is entirely a cool yet elegant silver-white color, reflecting a soft yet dazzling halo under the afternoon sun in Star Luo City.

The eaves of each layer curve slightly upwards, gradually narrowing from bottom to top.

Even an ordinary passerby who knows nothing about architecture will be amazed by the beauty of the craftsmanship displayed by this tower just by looking at it from a distance.

This is the first Spirit Pagoda on the continent, and also the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters that Huo Yuhao built in this world ten thousand years ago.

At this moment, on the fifth floor of the Spirit Pagoda, a group of more than a dozen people were slowly walking along the spacious and bright corridor.

Huo Yuhao felt a sudden dizziness before his eyes. The familiar feeling of weightlessness and spatial disorientation surged and receded like a tide, and the scene before him had undergone a complete transformation.

He was no longer on the giant ocean liner sailing on the vast sea ten thousand years later, but had returned to ten thousand years ago, to this newly completed Spirit Pagoda.

Huo Yuhao kept walking and followed the group forward.

Gongyang Mo, who had been in full charge of the construction of the Spirit Pagoda, was now at the front of the group, guiding everyone on their tour while introducing the layout and functional division of each floor of the Spirit Pagoda in great detail.

The group walked from the first floor to the eighth floor, exploring the entire Spirit Pagoda inside and out.

Finally, Huo Yuhao entered his private office on the top floor, Gongyang Mo followed closely behind. The two sat down facing each other on the sofa area by the window.

Huo Yuhao leaned back on the sofa and asked, "How are the preparations for opening the Spirit Pagoda going?"

Gongyang Mo sat up straight and said, "The Star Luo Empire is fully cooperating. All the invitations were sent out half a month ago, and the tower will officially open in seven days."

After saying this, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. He hesitated for a moment before finally speaking, "Tower Master, our Spirit Pagoda has only recently been established and its foundation on the continent is still shallow. Most of the various forces that have come to participate in the opening ceremony are only doing so because of the Star Luo Imperial Family. Do you think we should invite Tower Master Leng to come over?"

Gongyang Mo was clearly worried that the Star Luo Empire would overshadow him, so he wanted Leng Yaozhu to make an appearance and demonstrate the power of the Spirit Pagoda.

Huo Yuhao smiled upon hearing this, "Teacher won't be coming, but don't worry, I've already made arrangements."

Even if Huo Yuhao wanted Leng Yaozhu to appear ten thousand years later, there was nothing he could do.

However, his claim of having made prior arrangements was not merely a perfunctory excuse to Gongyang Mo.

Gongyang Mo now had an almost blind trust in Huo Yuhao, and hearing his confident tone, his anxious heart was finally at ease.

Gongyang Mo didn't linger long afterward, exchanging a few words before leaving. The Spirit Pagoda was about to make its official debut on the continent, and he had many things to attend to recently.

After Gongyang Mo left, Huo Yuhao was left alone in the office.

He slowly stood up from the sofa and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, where he could see the entire view of Star Luo City.

Although this first Spirit Pagoda only had eight floors, it was far inferior to the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters that stood over a hundred floors high and pierced the clouds ten thousand years later.

However, the current Star Luo City does not have the towering skyscrapers of Shrek City ten thousand years later. An eight-story building is already enough to take in a large part of Star Luo City.

After a moment, he withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked to the empty area in the center of the office, raising his right hand and making a few neat strokes in the air.

Wherever his fingertips passed, fine and mysterious silver light patterns appeared out of thin air, intertwining and combining on their own as if they had Life God of their own, and in the blink of an eye, they outlined a complex and precise Magic Circle on the ground.

The Magic Circle array emitted a soft, silvery-white light and emitted clear and stable spatial fluctuations.

A moment later, a thick cloud of gray mist suddenly appeared in the center of the Magic Circle. The gray mist rolled and surged, quickly condensed and contracted, and soon transformed into a human figure, which was none other than Yun Ming, who had now transformed into Lich.

Yun Ming's golden Soul Fire flickered slightly. His gaze swept over Huo Yuhao and then around the surrounding furnishings. He instantly realized that he was no longer in the Undead Plane.

His brow furrowed almost imperceptibly. That kid Huo Yuhao had pulled him out of the Undead Plane without even a warning.

He had long been prepared to spend the rest of his life in that dark and desolate Undead Plane, and had no intention of appearing before any of his former acquaintances in his current semi-transparent Lich form.

But Huo Yuhao was, after all, his savior, so even if he was unhappy, he couldn't express it directly.

He didn't speak, but silently released his Divine Power, preparing to first figure out where he was.

An eight-story Spirit Pagoda should be Branch Tower in a small city of the Federation. What is Huo Yuhao doing here?

However, as his Divine Power continued to extend outward, beyond the four walls of this office, beyond the floors of the Spirit Pagoda, and beyond the streets and buildings of Star Luo City below...

The scenes he saw became more and more numerous and clearer until he was completely stunned. The two clusters of golden Soul Fire burning in his eye sockets seemed to have stopped flickering.
