Have a Child and Marry Huo Yuhao

On the second floor of the Huo Family residence, inside Huo Yuhao's room.

Surging vitality was continuously pouring into Huo Yuhao's body, turning his entire physique a vibrant, life-filled cyan.

Having already been cleansed and reshaped by essence blood, his physical strength had long since surpassed that of a Spirit Saint, leaving even the vast majority of Spirit Douluos in the dust.

Under the scouring of this vitality, his body began to undergo further changes.

From head to toe, his muscles, bones, internal organs, and every single cell in his body were greedily absorbing this concentrated life force.

Unbeknownst to him, two delicate dragon horns sprouted from Huo Yuhao's forehead, and the Dragon Pearl within his body began to emit a soft, radiant glow.

The bloodline hidden deep within him continued to reshape Huo Yuhao's body under the influence of this vitality.

At the same time, Huo Yuhao's Sea of Spirit was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

His Sea of Spirit, already expanded to an exaggerated degree through the efforts of two Tian Meng Iceworms, expanded significantly once more as it was washed over by the vitality.

Within his Sea of Spirit, a massive, emerald-green lake appeared, radiating a rich aura of life.

Gu Yuena had discovered Huo Yuhao absorbing the Gold of Life the moment it began. She entered his room and witnessed his transformation with her own eyes.

After confirming that Huo Yuhao would be safe, Gu Yuena set up a barrier to prevent anyone from interrupting his metamorphosis.

She could sense that with the help of the Gold of Life, the bloodline within Huo Yuhao had grown even more potent.

She wondered if the small piece of Gold of Life she had given Yuhao would be enough.

After Gu Yuena left, a grey bead emerged from Huo Yuhao's forehead.

This bead attempted to fuse with the surrounding muscles and bones, but it failed repeatedly. The powerful repulsive force caused Electrolux, who was guiding the process, to sigh silently.

"Yuhao, control your bloodline."

Following Huo Yuhao's intentional control—or perhaps because the bloodline power sensed the benefits of this change—it stopped resisting and instead accelerated the fusion of the two at an unimaginable speed.

After Electrolux successfully used a portion of the Gold of Life to open the Eye of Life for Huo Yuhao, the vast majority of what remained was absorbed entirely by Huo Yuhao's Dragon Pearl.

The bit of vitality absorbed by Huo Yuhao's body was, in fact, the most insignificant part.

Once his body had finished its transformation, Huo Yuhao slowly opened his eyes.

His state at this moment was better than it had ever been!

Qian Daoliu's claim that he would have Qian Xunji succeed as Pope next month was truly no joke.

The day after he made that statement, he began preparing for the succession ceremony.

This ceremony was not made into a grand spectacle. Those present included only the Spirit Hall's sole current patron, Golden Crocodile Douluo, the many elders of the Elder Hall, and those Spirit Douluos with the potential to eventually reach the Title Douluo realm.

Although Huo Yuhao was merely a Great Spirit Master who had only recently awakened his martial soul, he appeared at the ceremony due to his unique status.

Before the statue of the Six-Winged Angel, Qian Daoliu handed the scepter symbolizing the Pope's authority to Qian Xunji, marking the official beginning of the era of Qian Xunji in Spirit Hall.

Wearing the papal robes and holding the scepter, Qian Xunji stood before the high-ranking members of Spirit Hall.

With a stern expression on his handsome face, he issued his first order as Pope.

"Effective today, I hereby appoint the former Pope's disciple, and this Seat's junior fellow apprentice, Huo Yuhao, as the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, with a status second only to my own."

The many elders and Spirit Douluos present all stared at Qian Xunji in shock.

Had the new Pope lost his mind?

How could he issue such an order?

Your Holiness... Great Patron, you should do something about this!

Although Spirit Hall had established the positions of Holy Son and Holy Lady, not a single person had ever held these titles since the founding of Spirit Hall.

Those who served as the Pope of Spirit Hall had always possessed the Qian Family's Six-Winged Angel martial soul; from the moment the Pope's children were born, they were the default next Pope, and they had no need for such a title.

Now, for the first time in history, a Holy Son had been appointed—and he wasn't even a member of the Qian Family?

Did the Pope intend to hand over the Qian Family's ten-thousand-year foundation to an outsider?

Everyone present believed this was a decision made by Qian Xunji in a moment of madness, one that would surely incite the former Pope's dissatisfaction.

Yet, when everyone turned their gaze toward Qian Daoliu, they saw that his expression remained unchanged; he even wore a faint smile.

Everyone knew that the new disciple Qian Daoliu had taken in possessed twin martial souls and immense talent.

Could it be that Huo Yuhao had already solved the cultivation problems associated with twin martial souls?

Immediately, an observant elder bowed and saluted: "Greetings, Holy Son."

Following this elder's lead, the others also bowed: "Greetings, Holy Son!"

Huo Yuhao, the Holy Son himself, was completely bewildered.

How did he suddenly become the Holy Son?

Was he living out Bibi Dong's script?

Huo Yuhao looked up and met Qian Xunji's smiling eyes.

Appointing Huo Yuhao as the Holy Son was the result of a discussion between Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu.

Since the relationship between Huo Yuhao and the Soul Beast faction was already a foregone conclusion, and he himself possessed the desire to reshape the landscape between the two sides, why couldn't they lend him a helping hand?

This decision was one that even their ancestor, had he been sitting in this position, would surely have made.

When Qian Xunji proposed this idea, he worried that his old-fashioned father might disagree, so he specifically prepared a reason to persuade him.

"If Father is worried about the position of Pope in our Qian Family being passed to an outsider, I have already devised a foolproof plan."

Qian Daoliu, who hadn't even considered such a thing, was still curious to hear what kind of idea his son had.

"After Father retires to become the High Priest, you will have nothing to do every day but pay respects to our ancestors. You could easily find a gentle, virtuous woman with decent martial soul talent during your retirement, and give me a little sister—a junior sister for Yuhao."

"By then, Yuhao could marry her. Given Yuhao's talent, his children would certainly be gifted, and with the bloodline of our Qian Family, it would be simply perfect."

As for the age gap between Huo Yuhao and this hypothetical sister, Qian Xunji wasn't worried in the slightest.

Spirit Masters lived long lives, and the more powerful they were, the longer they lived.

Take his father, for instance; he had been over fifty when he was born.

At less than a hundred years old now, he was still in his prime!

Giving him a little sister was absolutely no problem!

Qian Daoliu was so amused by Qian Xunji's audacity that he decided to make up for the regrets of his son's youth by giving him a "complete" childhood.

"Then why don't you have one yourself!"

Qian Xunji scrambled around the hall, chased by his father, but he was no match for Qian Daoliu and was easily caught and given a sound thrashing.

Qian Xunji rubbed his aching spots, actually beginning to consider the possibility.

"Although the generation gap is a bit off, it's not entirely impossible."

Compared to being Huo Yuhao's brother-in-law, being his father-in-law seemed to have a certain appeal!

Qian Daoliu glanced at Qian Xunji. "Making Yuhao the Holy Son is indeed a good choice. It will increase the weight of the human side in his heart, which will make it more convenient when he eventually pushes for his new methods. I approve of your proposal; we shall confer the title upon Yuhao during the succession ceremony."

Qian Xunji nodded.

He would need to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible. The stronger a Spirit Master was, the harder it was to conceive, and who knew how many years it would take to produce a child.

As for Qian Daoliu saying he approved of his proposal, Qian Xunji counted the plan to have a child and marry her off to Huo Yuhao as part of it.
