Angel God Trial

After watching Ling Yi and the other two disappear from sight, Qian Xunji alone in the empty Pope's Palace.

"A peerless hero!"

Qian Daoliu appeared beside the Pope throne, looking in amazement at the direction of the palace gate, as if he could still see the domineering figure who had been so unrestrained and arrogant in the Pope's Palace just now.

"Oh?" Qian Xunji her head to look at her father, asking with a cryptic tone, "How does it compare to you and Tang Chen?"

Upon hearing this question, Qian Daoliu glanced at Qian Xunji, then turned his gaze back to the outside of the palace gate. After a few breaths, he sighed and said, "I am not as good as him."

"As for Tang Chen..."

Upon hearing Tang Chen's name, Qian Daoliu paused, shook his head, and said, "It's hard to say, but in my opinion, setting aside Martial Soul talent and combat ability, Tang Chen is inferior to him in terms of personal talent, wisdom, skill, and even magnanimity!"

"Then..." Qian Xunji wasn't surprised by Qian Daoliu's assessment and continued, "What do you think of his previous suggestion?"

Just now, before leaving, Ling Yi made a suggestion: he hoped that the Spirit Hall would upgrade the Martial Soul Sub-Hall in Lingyun City to the same level as the Spirit Hall Main Hall in a major city.

With the current scale of ' Lingyun City ', to be honest, it has almost reached the level of a large city. Upgrading the Martial Soul Sub-Hall within the city to the Spirit Hall Main Hall is only natural.

Furthermore, through the intelligence he possessed, Qian Xunji also learned that Ling Yi had contacted people from the Great Soul Fighting Arena Alliance, inviting them to arrange the establishment of the Great Soul Fighting Arena in Lingyun City.

Originally, as the Pope, Qian Xunji should have been the one to take the initiative in spreading the influence of the Spirit Hall to every city through its branch halls.

Now there is an opportunity to upgrade the Martial Soul Sub-Hall of Lingyun City to the Spirit Hall Main Hall, which would allow for the dispatch of a stronger Hall Master and more deacons, which should theoretically be beneficial to the Spirit Hall.

but...

Thinking of Ling Yi's previous schemes and calculations regarding "Blue Silver Rice" and "Blue Silver Grass," he hesitated again.

Is Ling Yi plotting something again?

What is the purpose of this initiative to propose that the Spirit Hall upgrade the Martial Soul Sub-Hall in Lingyun City to the Spirit Hall Main Hall?

Qian Daoliu also considered Qian Xunji's concerns. After pondering for a moment, he shook his head in confusion. "I can't see his purpose."

"Logically speaking, if it were Xue Ye or Dai Tianqi, they would probably want to drive the Martial Soul Temple out of ' Heaven Dou City ' and ' Star Luo City '!"

"That means the masters of the two great temples are both Platinum Bishop at the Soul Douluo level, and they also have the deterrent power of our Spirit Hall behind them. Otherwise, they would definitely spare no effort to suppress them!"

No one likes to have a force that doesn't belong to them and is out of control existing in their territory.

Surely no one really thinks that the troops stationed at Xiao Rizi and Xiao Xiba's house are some kind of protective force?

But Ling Yi's current actions seem to be saying, "My territory is bigger now. The number of troops you sent before was too small, and their weapons were not strong enough. You need to upgrade and replace them with more troops and more powerful weapons!"

If Lingyun City's physical strength is average, with only one Soul Douluo Dugu Bo, then making this request would not be surprising to either Qian Xunji or Qian Daoliu.

After all, there are still some external dangers in this world. There are wandering Fallen Soul Master, Soul Beast that may break out of their habitats at any time, and Wolf Bandits and "Gale Demon Wolf" that once plagued the area. All of these pose a threat to human settlements.

But the problem now is that, apart from Dugu Bo, the newly promoted Soul Douluo, Lingyun City also has two Titled Douluo, Chen Jianjun and Chen Xin, among whom Chen Jianjun is a Level 97 Super Douluo!

Qian Daoliu had been observing from the shadows when he sensed Chen Jianjun's strength as he circulated his Soul Power; it was indeed level Level 97.

This strength surpasses that of Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Tang Zhen Clear Sky Sect!

Looking across the Douluo Continent, only Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, who has embarked on the path to godhood, can surpass Chen Jianjun in the present day.

Even the other people, including Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Second Worship of the Spirit Hall, cannot be said to be able to defeat the opponent with certainty!

With such powerful individuals, plus Yang Shelly and Ah Yin, who can use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill and whose combat power reaches the Soul Douluo level, Lingyun City has absolutely no need to bring the power of the Spirit Hall into its territory.

Just like the locations of sects such as the Clear Sky Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, there is basically no Spirit Hall Main Hall. At most, there are Spirit Hall Branch or sub-halls in some small towns and cities around them.

Even the slightly weaker forces like the Elephant Armor Sect and the White Armored Earth Dragon Sect would subtly exclude the branch forces of the Spirit Hall within their sphere of influence.

It won't be too obvious, but there certainly won't be any close relationship.

One must understand, how can one allow another to sleep soundly beside one's bed?!

After pondering for a long time, neither father nor son came to a conclusion. Qian Daoliu sighed and shook his head, saying, "Forget it, if we can't figure it out, we shouldn't think about it anymore. Since he wants us to continue sending people over, then we'll send them!"

"Our Spirit Hall may not have much else, but we certainly have no shortage of Soul Master deacons and bishops of all levels!"

At this point, Qian Daoliu paused briefly, recalling Ling Yi's arrogant expression just now, and continued, "Don't be fooled by this kid's ambitious appearance just now. I can tell that his ambition lies entirely in his Martial Soul and strength."

"In this respect, he and Tang Chen are both full of self-confidence and have a determined attitude towards achieving that highest realm."

"So, if I'm not mistaken, ' Lingyun City ' and the previous ' Green Wood Merchant Association ' were merely created by him for the people around him."

"I saw no desire for worldly power in him."

"In a sense, he's a very pure person, even purer than Tang Chen and I!"

"However, he is smarter and wiser than Tang Chen and me. While focusing on his own cultivation, he also has the spare energy to develop his power and help his relatives and friends become stronger!"

Listening to Qian Daoliu's further evaluation of Ling Yi, Qian Xunji nodded slightly. Pope the Spirit Hall and the most powerful person in the Douluo Continent, he did not see the same desire for power in Ling Yi as he did.

Unless Ling Yi's acting skills have reached the pinnacle, to the point that he can even fool himself, it is impossible for him and Qian Daoliu, a Level 95 Titled Douluo and a Level 99 Peerless Douluo, to fail to capture the emotional changes and micro-expressions of a mere Seven-Ring Soul Sage.

"In that case," Qian Xunji said slowly, deciding, "We'll send someone to ' Lingyun City '!"

"At most, we could develop ' Lingyun City ' to a scale comparable to ' Heaven Dou City ' and ' Star Luo City,' and at worst, we could establish a third Martial Soul Temple!"

"His foundation is still too shallow. He is only thirty-two years old now. The Green Wood Merchant Association has only been established for ten years, and Lingyun City has been built for less than seven years. Apart from Chen Jianjun and his son, Lingyun City is inferior to the Lower Four Sects like the Elephant Armor Sect."

"It's just a Spirit Hall Main Hall. Do you think he can control my Spirit Hall just by using one main hall?!"

"If he truly possesses such ability, what harm would it do for me to hand over the Pope to him?!"

Seeing that Qian Xunji's expression had changed from its usual coldness and indifference to one of complete confidence, Qian Daoliu's face showed obvious relief. "It's really good that you think this way."

"While the Pope is important, as long as our Qian Clan's ' Angel ' Martial Soul remains, the Spirit Hall's faith will forever belong to the Angel God!"

"As long as the Holy Light Shines of the Angel God shines on ' Spirit City,' the will of the Spirit Hall will be under our control."

Qian Xunji understood the hidden meaning in Qian Daoliu. He slightly raised his eyelids, his expression returning to its coldness, and said calmly, "Don't worry, I've already found a suitable candidate. As long as we unite, the next generation's talent will definitely not be weak!"

"Oh?"

Qian Daoliu was taken aback upon hearing this. Although he had indeed intended to remind Qian Xunji not to forget to inherit his bloodline, he did not expect that Qian Xunji had already made plans and arrangements for this.

"Wait a little longer; her current strength isn't enough." Qian Xunji didn't intend to elaborate on this point, only hinting at it briefly. "Only after she becomes Titled Douluo will she be the best mother, and only then will the offspring she conceives truly display the glory of the ' Angel ' Martial Soul!"

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu did not pursue the matter further, as he had also heard of the deeds of Tang Yuehua Clear Sky Sect and Yu Xiaogang of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Both of them are children of Titled Douluo, but their Martial Soul have undergone malignant mutations. According to Ling Yi's "Martial Soul Organ Theory", their own origins are insufficient to support the Martial Soul Evolution, which leads to the failure of the evolution.

If the woman mentioned by Qian Xunji becomes Titled Douluo, and Qian Xunji is a Level 95 Titled Douluo, the Life conceived by the combination of these two Titled Douluo- level powerhouses will definitely not suffer from insufficient origin.

The essence of the two Titled Douluo is enough to make the "Angel" Martial Soul display true divine light!

Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu suddenly became impatient, because if this were true, then his Qian Daoliu or granddaughter might actually reach the standard of divine power inheritance of the Angel God!

If one could surpass Tang Chen and have their grandson or granddaughter complete the Angel God's God Trial, becoming the first god in the Douluo Continent's ten thousand-year history, then...

Qian Xunji also thought of this.

With her golden eyes lowered, a distinct look of resentment flashed in Qian Xunji's eyes.

He would never forget that, standing before the Angel God Statue, he didn't even have the qualifications to trigger the God Trial!

Back then, after sending people overseas to attack "Sea God Island" and suffering a crushing defeat, he also mobilized the Spirit Hall's forces to gather intelligence on that island.

Afterwards, Qian Xunji learned a piece of news from Qian Daoliu that he was particularly concerned about.

On Sea God Island, any Sea Soul Master who turns eighteen can undergo the God Trial!

The Sea God's God Trial differs from the Angel God's God Trial, and is subdivided into White Level Assessment, Yellow Level Assessment, purple-level, Black Level Assessment -Purple Level Assessment, and red-level Top Level Assessment, from lowest to highest.

The white and Yellow Rank levels each have only one test; the Purple Level Assessment has one to three tests; the Black Level Assessment has four to six tests; and the Top Level Assessment has seven to nine tests.

Similar to the Soul Ring of Soul Beast, the higher the color, the stronger the talent potential of the person being tested. The more assessment items there are at the same level, the better the talent.

However, the Angel God Trial passed down by the Spirit Hall are not divided by color, but are named according to the number of Angel Trials.

The problem is that the Angel God Trial over the years have always started with Angel Six Trials!

If we translate that to ' Sea God Island,' it would be Black Level Six Trials!

Those below this level will not be subject to any assessment by the Angel God!

In the past thousand years, Qian Daoliu's talent has been the strongest, reaching the level of the Angel Eight Trials, which is the key reason why he was able to break through to Level 99 so smoothly.

From Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji learned that the reason why the God Trial on "Sea God Island" were so widespread was because of the abundant faith in the Sea God. Although their [Spirit Hall] had cultivated the Douluo Continent for thousands of years and spread the glory of the Angel God throughout the continent, the existence of various empires, kingdoms, and Soul Master Soul Master sects and families meant that the number of people who believed in the Angel God was less than one-fifth of the continent's total population!

In comparison, the marine life in the vast ocean not only has a larger population but also a purer faith, making the power of the Sea God's faith inexhaustible!

It was for this reason that Qian Xunji conceived the idea of developing the Spirit Hall into the Spirit Empire and bringing the entire Douluo Continent under his control.

In that case, wouldn't he also have a chance to pass the God Trial?

At the very least, could this method allow more descendants of the Qian Clan families to pass the Angel God Divine Examination?

Noticing the change in Qian Xunji's expression, Qian Daoliu guessed what he was thinking. He sighed inwardly and said softly, "If you've really made up your mind, then do it."

"I will support you."

"If Tang Chen returns, I will stop him for you. As for the rest, that's up to you."

Given the size and foundation of the Spirit Hall, if we disregard Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, two unparalleled powerhouses who could single-handedly suppress the world, taking over the various forces on the Douluo Continent would only be a matter of time.

However, Qian Xunji did not want to take over Douluo Continent through a large-scale war, as that would only cripple the people of the Douluo Continent and require a very long time to recover after the war.

This was clearly unacceptable to him, who wanted to dominate the beliefs of all humanity on the Douluo Continent.

With a combined number of Titled Douluo, the best course of action for the Spirit Hall is to gain dominance over the Douluo Continent through its high-level combat power.

However, how to implement this method was a problem that gave Qian Xunji a headache.

We can't just start a war, drag all our Titled Douluo out, and wipe out all the leaders of various forces on the Douluo Continent, can we?

Then arrange for the Spirit Hall Branch scattered throughout the continent to gradually take over those leaderless forces and territories.

Shaking his head, dismissing the absurd thought that had suddenly popped into his mind, Qian Xunji suddenly thought of Ling Yi, who had just left, and turned to Qian Daoliu beside him to ask:

"You said that Ling Yi was able to receive the worship of all the ' Blue Silver Grass ' on the continent, and his own Martial Soul was even transformed into that 'Azure Wood Blue Silver Emperor ' under the baptism of so-called 'divine power'. Will he have the opportunity to cultivate to Level 99 like you in the future?"

"Furthermore," Qian Xunji said solemnly, looking at Qian Daoliu, whose expression had also become serious, and then asked, "Is that so-called 'mysterious power' the power of faith?"

"If so, does this mean that he has a chance to take that step through this 'power of faith'?!"
