Spirit Hall Branch, Nuoding City.

After inspecting the Spirit Hall branch, Pope Bibi Dong did not see the person she had come to find, and her expression immediately soured.

"How is it that your Nuoding City branch cannot even locate two people?"

"What are you all good for?"

Master Mathew was filled with terror, trembling as he spoke: "Master Yu Xiaogang came to pay his respects; a relative of Tang San's had an incident, and he happened to be away at the funeral."

"He also said, please, Your Holiness, for the sake of his friendship, do not make things difficult for a child."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's beautiful face softened slightly.

Since it was Yu Xiaogang pleading on his behalf, she would spare Tang San for his sake.

Besides, even if Tang San was a remnant of the Tang family, it was of no consequence to her.

The Tang family wanted to destroy Spirit Hall, but what did that have to do with her?

Years ago.

She had been forcibly confined in a secret chamber by the former Pope, Qian Xunji, and forced to bear Qian Renxue.

From that moment on, Bibi Dong had loathed Qian Xunji, and she hated Spirit Hall even more.

She wanted to destroy Spirit Hall; in truth, the Tang family were her allies.

But that Zhou Tong—he had offended Yu Xiaogang, so why was he missing too?

Bibi Dong frowned. "Tang San is one thing, but what about Zhou Tong?"

"Where is he? Bring him out at once. For a disciple so disrespectful to his elders, I shall teach him a lesson myself."

A sinister look flickered across Bibi Dong's gorgeous face.

"He has already left this place to travel and study."

"He is an orphan; no one knows where he has gone."

Master Mathew had his excuse ready long ago.

Someone had already warned him that Bibi Dong intended to target Zhou Tong, instructing him to be clever in his response.

Bibi Dong's face turned livid; as a dignified Pope, she couldn't even lay eyes on a single spirit master.

"What are you all doing, unable to find even a youth?"

A burly elder standing to the side could no longer stand by and stepped forward.

"Why must Your Holiness hold a grudge against a child?"

"Furthermore, this person has no connection to you."

"I believe it would be better for Your Holiness to perform more good deeds and accumulate virtue; that is the proper path."

At these words, the corners of Bibi Dong's mouth curled up in fury, her expression bordering on madness as she sneered.

"Elder Demon Bear, you dare to question the authority of the Pope?"

"Do you have no regard for me at all!"

Facing Bibi Dong's rage, Demon Bear Douluo replied sternly.

"Bibi Dong, I am a man of the Grand Pontiff. You are merely a temporary Pope appointed by him to bridge the transition for the Holy Maiden's succession."

"The person the Holy Maiden has taken an interest in must not be ruined by you."

"I advise you to accumulate more virtue, lest you meet an ominous end in your later years."

Elder Demon Bear said coldly.

He did not fear this Bibi Dong, for he was a man of the Grand Pontiff.

Bibi Dong's lips trembled with rage, and she was unable to speak for a long time. Only after a while did she finally command.

"Let's go! To the next branch!"

Meanwhile.

After bidding farewell to Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue) and Mathew, Zhou Tong quietly left Nuoding City, heading toward the Star Dou Forest.

The reason he was going to the Star Dou Forest was that Zhou Tong wanted to find the Blue Silver King.

The Blue Silver King could allow him to awaken his spirit a second time and fully inherit the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline.

Moreover, he would gain a spirit ring that could increase in age along with his cultivation—it was a win-win situation.

Carrying the map and books on spirits he had obtained from the library, he traveled by carriage, keeping a low profile until he reached Green Mountain Town, just outside the Star Dou Forest.

There, he rented a secluded courtyard and began the process of absorbing the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline and the hundred-thousand-year spirit bone.

"I will absorb the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone first!"

Zhou Tong made a swift decision.

He locked all the doors and windows, retreated into the basement, and took the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone out of its lead box.

He took a deep breath and pressed it against his right leg.

Hum!

A faint humming sound resonated from his right leg, followed by a wave of coolness that surged through his entire body in the blink of an eye.

The spirit bone vanished quietly, transforming into countless streams of blue-gold energy that gradually merged into his right leg.

Immediately after, a vast amount of life energy poured into Zhou Tong's body, washing over him like tidal waves, scouring his physique over and over again.

The meridians within Zhou Tong's body underwent a massive transformation; they began to shift toward a blue-gold hue, becoming increasingly resilient, while the space available to store spirit power expanded drastically.

Although his spirit power remained at level 13, he knew clearly that once he absorbed a spirit ring, his spirit power would skyrocket.

As time slowly passed, Zhou Tong felt extremely comfortable and gradually drifted into a deep sleep.

Several days passed.

Zhou Tong slowly opened his eyes, stretched his limbs, and wore a look of utter contentment.

As expected of a 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, the absorption process had no discomfort at all; instead, it felt incredibly refreshing.

Following this, Zhou Tong released his Thunderous Hell Vine spirit.

The Thunderous Hell Vine spirit, which had originally been only as thick as a little finger, had its origin replenished and sublimated under the baptism of the life energy released by the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.

It finally grew into a blue-gold vine spirit, roughly the thickness of an infant's wrist, with an outer skin as crystalline and translucent as blue crystal, brimming with the aura of life.

Not only that, but his body had also undergone a metamorphosis.

His strength had increased significantly, his body felt incomparably light, and he was exceptionally energetic.

The spirit power within Zhou Tong's body flowed without obstruction, clearly smoother than before.

Furthermore, he could store more spirit power.

He knew this was because the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone had released massive amounts of life force, reinforcing his body.

After this reinforcement, his aptitude had rapidly improved.

"My spirit power has risen to level 17!"

Zhou Tong's face lit up with joy.

"I have gained two spirit skills."

"Flight, and 'Wildfires cannot destroy it, the spring breeze brings it back to life!'"

The flight spirit skill allowed Zhou Tong to fly directly through the air while consuming very little spirit power.

Meanwhile, the "Wildfires cannot destroy it, the spring breeze brings it back to life" spirit skill was a powerful recovery ability.

Even if he were severely injured, he could recover rapidly.

It could be said that his survival capabilities had been maxed out.

"My body's resistance to lightning has increased."

"It seems that stacking life force really can improve resistance to lightning."

"I will continue to stack life force."

Zhou Tong's expression was excited; it seemed that having powerful life force was his way of countering the problem of electrical leakage.

"As long as my life force is strong enough, lightning cannot kill me!"

Zhou Tong understood that this was the root solution.

Immediately, he shifted his gaze to the other side, toward the Blue Silver Emperor in the basket.

"Blue Silver Emperor A Yin, you possess great power but lack the wisdom to protect your own bloodline. Hand it over to me."

"I can spare your life."

Zhou Tong muttered, approaching the Blue Silver Emperor as the Thunderous Hell Vine in his hand gradually coiled around the Blue Silver Emperor's roots.

Seemingly sensing a threat to its life, the Blue Silver Emperor in Zhou Tong's hand trembled, its leaves wrapping around the vine in an attempt to break free.

"Blue Silver Emperor, surrender your bloodline, and I will spare your life."

Zhou Tong said.

The next moment, the Thunderous Hell Vine took root within the Blue Silver vine and began to extract the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline from within.

Soon, drops of blue-gold blood flowed into the Thunderous Hell Vine.
