"Dad." In the main hall, Qian Xunji looked at his father, Qian Daoliu, not knowing what to say.
"There's nothing left to say. Bibi Dong has already been taken away, and according to our intelligence, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is likely the mastermind. I'd guessed this long ago. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect always claimed to be a good sect, putting on airs about how humble they were and all that.
"But at its core, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is still a sect—a noble faction. Bibi Dong has the genes for Innate Full Soul Power, and she also has Twin Martial Souls. If they took her and made her bear children, there'd be a chance those children would inherit both of her top-tier Martial Souls, as well as her Innate Full Soul Power constitution.
"Bibi Dong really was asking for it. If it weren't for our Spirit Hall, she'd have been captured long ago. Who knows how many children she'd have been forced to bear by now."
Qian Daoliu had completely given up on Bibi Dong. He didn't want to concern himself with her affairs anymore; he no longer cared what happened to her. After all, Qian Renxue had already been born.
Although she hadn't awakened her Martial Soul or had her Innate Soul Power tested yet, she had been born to an exceptional female Soul Master, so her aptitude couldn't be too poor.
"Father, I know saying this could damage the reputation of the Angel Family, but the problem is that Bibi Dong had Innate Full Soul Power and Twin Martial Souls. It took our Six-Winged Angel Clan, plus me—a Titled Douluo—to produce Xiao Xue, who has Innate Full Soul Power at level 20. If that's the case, without Bibi Dong, would Xiao Xue still have Innate Full Soul Power at level 20?
"After all, Bibi Dong isn't Xiao Xue's mother in this life. Whether she could have been born with Innate Full Soul Power is a question too!" Qian Xunji knew that saying this might upset his father, Qian Daoliu, the Angel Douluo. But some things still had to be said. This matter was simply too important. The future succession of Spirit Hall—and whether they could produce another Angel God—was crucial.
If Qian Renxue didn't have Innate Full Soul Power at level 20, then whether she could pass the Angel Nine Trials was also in question!
"This..." Qian Daoliu wasn't sure either, now that he thought about it. He had indeed only wanted to keep his granddaughter from being harmed by Bibi Dong again, which was why he'd chosen to drive Bibi Dong out of Spirit Hall and not let her have any more children.
Spirit Hall had to be said to be far too kind—kind to a fault. Or rather, among the filthy super-factions of the Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall was the one that didn't fit in.
They followed rules and believed in humanitarianism, but the problem was that the others didn't. The sects of the Douluo Continent didn't, and neither did the noble Soul Masters.
Only Spirit Hall cared about rules. It was ridiculous.
And the people at the bottom didn't necessarily thank Spirit Hall for the welfare policies it provided, either. They basically took Spirit Hall's bread and then cursed it.
If Bibi Dong had fallen into the hands of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she might have been forced to bear children her entire life. Then, when she grew old and could no longer give birth, what would happen? She'd die in childbirth while bearing her last child.
Spirit Hall really was far too kind.
The Angel Family's morals were too high, at least by the standards of the Douluo Continent.
"Ji'er, there's nothing we can do now. No matter what, we can't let Bibi Dong harm Spirit Hall again. In the future, she'd turn Spirit Hall into her own property and drag the entire organization down with her. She even wanted to destroy our Angel Clan. Do you think we could let her stay, or even let her have children? Don't be ridiculous. We can't!
"First of all, this isn't just a question of morals. It's a question of our future succession.
"Even if this era, this life, doesn't produce a peerless genius to inherit the Angel Godhood, as long as we prevent Tang San from being born—or make sure his mother in this life isn't the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast Blue Silver Emperor—he won't be qualified to undergo the Sea God Divine Trial. And Bibi Dong has no way to pass the Rakshasa God Divine Trial now.
"Then our succession will be secure. When a peerless genius appears in the future, perhaps they'll be able to inherit the Angel God Trial."
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, Subduing Demon Douluo walked over.
"I think Big Brother is absolutely right. For Spirit Hall's future succession, and so Bibi Dong can't harm us again, we can't let Tang San be born. If he only had Innate Full Soul Power because of his Soul Beast mother's powerful physique, then all we have to do is make sure Blue Silver Emperor can't bear Tang Hao a child. Tang Hao will have to find another woman, and there's no guarantee their child will have Innate Full Soul Power.
"How will Tang San in this life pass the Sea God Divine Trial then?"
Subduing Demon Douluo's words dispelled Qian Xunji's worries.
Just then, Mighty Lion Douluo walked over.
"Big Brother, we've found Tang Hao's whereabouts. We need to discuss this."
"Little Phoenix." Gu Yuena held Phoenix King in her arms, thoroughly enjoying the feeling.
"All right, time to discuss business," Medicine Elder said.
"Gu Yuena, Little Phoenix will soon be six years old. When the time comes, the rules of this world may cause him to awaken a Martial Soul. After all, even though Little Phoenix is a Magical Beast, the laws of this world should make him awaken a Martial Soul when he turns six, and give him a Soul Power Level and the like. That'll make it convenient for him to start cultivating Battle Qi.
"When the time comes, give him the cultivation method I'm going to pass on to him and have him practice it diligently. I've also discovered that the Soul Beasts in this world have Beast Fire. I want you to collect some good Beast Fire so Little Phoenix can absorb it and grow stronger."
"Teacher, can someone wield several kinds of flame?" Phoenix King hadn't read Battle Through the Heavens in a long time, so he didn't remember some of its details. He only knew that top-tier experts could forcibly contain three Heavenly Flames at once, like Xiao Xuan.
"Many people on the Dou Qi Continent can wield several kinds of flame, but with Heavenly Flames like these, only top-tier experts can wield several at once.
"But Beast Fire is different. Many powerful experts—for example, Dou Zun-level experts—can wield six kinds of Beast Fire. I've seen it before."
Medicine Elder said this because he hoped Phoenix King would also be able to wield several kinds of flame. That would help him grow stronger.
"Besides, Little Phoenix, you're a Magical Beast. You have Beast Fire inside you already. It's just very weak right now. You're still a young Heavenly Demon Phoenix, so the Beast Fire inside you is weak. Understand?"
"I understand." Phoenix King nodded.
