Blazing Phoenix

A few days later, as they neared Spirit City, they landed on a mountainside.

Su Wen took out an Immortal Herb, preparing to give it to Ye Yuan'er to see if she could break through to Titled Douluo in one go.

"Aunt Ye, this is the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. Its properties are highly compatible with yours. Swallow the entire plant without chewing it, to avoid losing its medicinal effects. It might hurt a little after you take it, so you'll have to bear with it."

"Then I'll give it a try and see if those books you've been reading really work!" Ye Yuan'er reached out and took it, without a hint of doubt in Su Wen.

She followed his instructions, sat cross-legged, swallowed the herb, and refined it with her Soul Power.

The moment it entered her mouth, a scorching force began to surge through her body.

Flames rose from Ye Yuan'er's fair skin. Within just a few breaths, her clothes had burned away.

Pain showed on her face, and she clenched her fists.

Su Wen froze at first, then the searing heat forced him to stumble back several steps.

It was so hot!

The Blazing Spirit Kite was already a top-tier Beast Martial Soul, and now it had an Immortal Herb of this caliber.

It was like giving wings to a tiger.

Ye Yuan'er's fire attribute might undergo a qualitative transformation.

As time passed, a vast surge of Soul Power suddenly burst from Ye Yuan'er, sweeping out in every direction.

Blazing Fire Phoenix

"I've reached Level 90!"

Ye Yuan'er opened her beautiful eyes, flames blazing in their phoenix-shaped pupils.

Her bewitching beauty was tinged with joy.

She could clearly feel how completely transformed she was.

"Xiao Wen!"

Ye Yuan'er rushed over to Su Wen, planted a loud kiss on his cheek, then pulled him tightly into her soft embrace.

"Xiao Wen, this Immortal Herb really is as miraculous as you said."

She could tell that her fire abilities had reached an unprecedented level. She felt confident she could burn anything to ashes.

"Aunt Ye..."

Su Wen breathed in the fragrance at the tip of his nose and struggled to lift his head in the ravine.

"Why don't you get dressed first? Then we can talk about what you gained?"

Only then did Ye Yuan'er realize how exposed she was.

The flames released while she swallowed the Immortal Herb had burned away everything she was wearing.

Her cheeks turned faintly red.

Even the tips of her ears were red.

But only for a moment. Then she laughed sweetly. "It's not like you haven't seen me before. Hehehe—now we're even!"

Ye Yuan'er pretended to be calm as she took clothes from her Soul Tool.

The fitted leather outfit, which had fit her perfectly before, now felt a little tight.

The curve of her chest, already beautiful, had become even more striking and full.

Her clothes outlined her breathtaking figure, revealing her delicate collarbones to perfection.

Ye Yuan'er paused. "Xiao Wen, does this Immortal Herb have a beautifying effect, too?"

Su Wen didn't answer. He simply took a mirror from Ye Yuan'er's Soul Tool.

The reflection made her cheeks flush faintly.

Her skin was smooth and translucent like white jade, with a light, healthy blush.

Ye Yuan'er was delighted. Her clothes were a little tighter, but her skin was even softer.

What woman wouldn't like that?

"Aunt Ye, don't look at your face just yet. Let's take a look at your Martial Soul first!"

Su Wen reminded her.

Ye Yuan'er shot him an exasperated glance, put away the mirror, and summoned her Blazing Spirit Kite Martial Soul.

A phoenix cried out.

The phoenix soared above the mountains, alighting only on the parasol tree.

Behind Ye Yuan'er, a crown slowly appeared. Then the Martial Soul's head emerged, followed by its body. When every part had appeared, it slowly opened its eyes.

Crimson flames burned in its pupils, as if ready to devour everything. Its presence carried the domineering pressure of one who looked down on the world.

What appeared was no longer a Blazing Spirit Kite, but a Fire Phoenix wreathed in roaring flames.

The phoenix shot into the sky, and crimson clouds stretched across the heavens.

"My Martial Soul actually mutated, too!"

Only now did Ye Yuan'er truly understand how powerful the Immortal Herb was.

The claim that it could grant the potential to become a god wasn't an exaggeration.

A Martial Soul could even evolve. That alone shattered everything the Soul Master World thought it knew.

Ye Yuan'er grabbed Su Wen, leapt onto the back of her Martial Soul, and flew toward Spirit City.

"Xiao Wen, if we tell His Holiness the Pope or the Grand Pontiff about this, you'll surely earn great merit!"

"Aunt Ye, can we keep it to ourselves?"

"Why?"

"There are so many people in Spirit Hall, and at least ten Titled Douluo, not to mention the families of those in Elder Hall. Do you think I'd get any Immortal Herbs?"

"Ah... I understand. I'll do as you say!"

Ye Yuan'er knew she belonged to Spirit Hall, but Xiao Wen mattered more to her than Spirit Hall.

Su Wen suddenly changed the subject. "We still need to meet the Grand Pontiff. Aunt Ye, could someone of your standing get an audience with him?"

"I can, but unless it's something important, no one in Spirit Hall is allowed to seek an audience with the Grand Pontiff whenever they want."

Ye Yuan'er asked in puzzlement, "Why are we going to see the Grand Pontiff?"

"Aunt Ye, would you like to have a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?"

A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring was a priceless treasure every Soul Master dreamed of. It was also one of the requirements for breaking through to Limit Douluo.

Su Wen knew how important it was to have someone powerful protecting him.

The stronger Ye Yuan'er became, the safer he would be before he had the chance to grow up.

His standing in Spirit Hall would also only rise.

Having taken an Immortal Herb, he might even attract the attention of a god someday.

Su Wen knew that, as far as anyone knew, there were four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Forest.

Da Ming, Er Ming, Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu's mother.

As for the Ferocious Beasts, they were all asleep at this point. Unless the Star Dou Forest was destroyed, they probably wouldn't appear.

Asking Bibi Dong to help hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was out of the question.

Bibi Dong herself still needed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.

The only option was the Worship Hall: trade an Immortal Herb for their help.

He could tell them about the Immortal Herb, but he didn't need to mention the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Xiao Wen, wasn't that plant meant for you to take?"

Ye Yuan'er immediately understood what he meant.

Her heart warmed.

Who wouldn't want a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?

She had always envied Bibi Dong's Ninth Spirit Ring.

But Immortal Herbs were incredibly precious, and Xiao Wen had only picked two. He hadn't even taken one himself.

"Aunt Ye, it seems like a person can only take one Immortal Herb, unless they're complementary. This one isn't right for me. Trading it for a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and Soul Ring makes sense. And once you become a Titled Douluo, we can go there together. Dugu Bo will surely give up his territory when he sees you."

Hearing this, Ye Yuan'er no longer hesitated. After entering Spirit City, she took Su Wen to the Worship Hall.

"Xiao Wen, this is your first time here, so I'll tell you about the four great halls of Spirit Hall. The first is Pope Hall, the center of power. Everyone in Spirit Hall revolves around it. The Pope lives there, and you'll be going there often from now on."

"The second is Elder Hall. It's full of powerful Titled Douluo, the strongest of whom is Level 95. Once I obtain a Spirit Ring, I'll become one of its members, too."

"The third is the Worship Hall, also known as the Angel Temple. It's where the Grand Pontiff and the six other pontiffs cultivate. They're all Super Douluo above Level 96, and they're absolutely loyal to the Angel. Even reaching Level 96 isn't enough to qualify for entry. The people in the Worship Hall keep to themselves and rarely concern themselves with Spirit Hall's affairs."

"The fourth is Douluo Hall, also known as the Hall of Heroes. It's the burial place of Titled Douluo. Every Titled Douluo who has died in Spirit Hall's history is buried there."

As a Platinum Bishop, Ye Yuan'er could walk around Spirit Hall simply by virtue of being recognized. No one stopped her.

As she led Su Wen toward the Worship Hall, she explained with keen interest.

Su Wen listened attentively.

They soon reached the Worship Hall. Its doors stood more than ten meters tall.

Four Palace Guard Knights stood at the entrance.

"Please inform the Grand Pontiff that Ye Yuan'er, a Platinum Bishop from Spirit City, has come with a disciple of the Pope to request an audience on an important matter!"

Ye Yuan'er's voice rang out with authority and a hint of coldness. She sounded completely different from the way she spoke to Su Wen.

After receiving the order, one of the Palace Guard Knights turned and walked into the Worship Hall.
