Spirit Hall wields immense power, and with the 99th-rank peerless Douluo Qian Daoliu at the helm, it has long been a mountain looming over the two great empires and the major sects.
Because of this, they pay close attention to every move Spirit Hall makes.
Upon Qian Xunji's succession as Pope, he notified all of Spirit Hall's branch halls and spirit masters on the very day he took office.
At the same time, the existence of Spirit Hall's Holy Son, Huo Yuhao, officially entered the sights of all Spirit Hall spirit masters, as well as the royal families and major sects.
Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.
Xue Gan stared at the intelligence in his hands, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest.
As a member of the royal family and the monarch governing the entire Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Gan found it difficult to understand Qian Xunji's actions.
In their royal family, and even among the major sects, bloodline is often more important than talent.
Even if one's talent is poor, as long as the blood flowing through their veins is the most noble, they will become one of the heirs.
A twin spirit with innate full spirit power is indeed a genius rarely seen in ten thousand years, but that is no reason for Qian Xunji to hand over the Qian Family's ten-thousand-year foundation to an outsider!
Most importantly, Qian Daoliu actually allowed Qian Xunji to act so recklessly.
Could it be that there is something about this Huo Yuhao that they do not know?
"Is there any information regarding this Huo Yuhao's spirit?"
The person responsible for gathering intelligence on Spirit Hall shook his head. "Your Majesty, ever since Huo Yuhao awakened his spirit, he has not had contact with anyone below the rank of bishop. The yellow-robed deacon who awakened his spirit was transferred to Spirit City for that very reason."
There are indeed spies from the Heaven Dou Empire within Spirit City, but with Qian Daoliu, a 99th-rank limit Douluo, watching over them, they dare not make any major moves.
"Huo Yuhao's life is too regimented; we have no way to make contact."
Xue Gan closed his eyes and waved his hand at the person below.
After the man left, Xue Gan opened his eyes.
"I hope Qian Xunji and this Holy Son are people who know their place."
They trust the Angel Spirit; ever since Spirit Hall was established ten thousand years ago, although its status has been transcendent, it has never interfered in political power.
However, Huo Yuhao, who does not possess the Angel Spirit, has now become the greatest variable.
Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Yue was also listening to the intelligence brought back by his disciples.
Besides him, several elders of the Clear Sky Sect were also present.
"That coward Qian Daoliu has actually sired a son who knows how to stir up trouble."
Clear Sky Sect disciples, from the Sect Master down to the lowest-ranking members, have looked down on Spirit Hall ever since that battle forty years ago.
Their Clear Sky Sect possesses the strongest spirit masters on the entire continent!
Qian Daoliu was so frightened by the old Sect Master that he didn't dare take a single step toward their sect!
Even with Tang Chen missing, it does not stop them from remaining arrogant.
As long as no news of the old Sect Master's death spreads, no one dares to offend them!
"Qian Xunji is certainly generous with Spirit Hall's ten-thousand-year foundation."
"He has twin spirits; could it be that the quality of his spirit is too high?"
"How much higher could it be than our Clear Sky Hammer? We possess the number one tool spirit in the world; hasn't the Angel Spirit been beaten like a dog by our Clear Sky Hammer before?"
"Perhaps this Huo Yuhao's spirit is something that happens to restrain our Clear Sky Hammer. Qian Daoliu wants to use him to suppress our Clear Sky Sect."
As soon as these words were spoken, they drew unanimous agreement from everyone present.
"I think Qian Daoliu has lost his mind. Thinking he can suppress our Clear Sky Sect just by relying on spirit restraint is nothing but a pipe dream."
"Regardless, tell the disciples to keep a close eye on this Huo Yuhao. Sooner or later, our Clear Sky Sect disciples will face him."
Qian Daoliu only promised that he would not allow the Spirit Masters of Spirit Hall to enter the Clear Sky Sect; he never said that the people of Spirit Hall wouldn't be forced to give them a wide berth.
The ancestor was too conservative back then!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The intelligence Ning Yuanshan received was far more detailed than that of the Clear Sky Sect.
Beyond knowing that Huo Yuhao was taken to Spirit City and apprenticed to Qian Daoliu immediately after awakening his twin spirits, they even knew that Qian Xunji had personally led a team to obtain his first spirit ring.
"What kind of spirit could it be to warrant such importance from Spirit Hall?"
Perhaps he should make contact first.
"Prepare the gifts. We are going to Spirit City to congratulate the new Pope on his succession."
Compared to the other sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect appeared much more solemn.
"A few months ago, our spirits suddenly manifested without warning and produced a sense of submission. Could it be related to him?"
That day, every disciple within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect who had already awakened their martial soul experienced the exact same reaction.
This situation was unprecedented and unheard of.
That period of time happened to coincide with Spirit Hall's annual martial soul awakening for six-year-old children.
At first, Yu Zhenting had not considered this possibility, but today, upon seeing the news of Qian Xunji being named the Holy Son, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he immediately thought of the strange events that had occurred within the sect.
It aligned perfectly with the appearance of Huo Yuhao!
Yu Yuanzhen, who was now nearing the level of a Titled Douluo and had already been designated as the next sect master, was also shocked by his father's words.
"Father, please stop making wild guesses! Not to mention whether there is a beast martial soul in this world more powerful than our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, even if there were, he was in Feimu City when he awakened his martial soul, over a thousand kilometers away from us."
Could a newly awakened martial soul influence a top-tier beast martial soul from over a thousand kilometers away?
This joke was not funny at all.
Yu Zhenting remained silent for a moment before sighing, "Perhaps I am just overthinking it."
Indeed, what kind of martial soul could be so exaggerated?
Almost the same scenario was playing out in the Elephant Armored Sect, the Wind Sword Sect, the Star Luo royal family, and other such places.
Huo Yuhao, a mere seven-year-old little brat, had forcefully entered the sights of the most powerful factions on the Douluo Continent.
Others could not fathom what had gotten into Qian Xunji, and Huo Yuhao could not understand it either.
"Senior Brother, what exactly were you thinking?"
Did you eat too much braised meat, and the brine went to your brain?
Qian Xunji did not hide anything and told Huo Yuhao his original thoughts in full detail, leaving Huo Yuhao stunned.
"Junior Brother, rest assured. The bloodline and appearance of the Qian Family are quite excellent; you can see this from my father and me. In the future, my daughter's talent and appearance will definitely be top-notch. I won't let you suffer any losses, kid!"
Huo Yuhao's mouth twitched, "Senior Brother, have you never considered that your future child might be a son?"
Qian Xunji replied casually, "If it's a son, I'll give him to you too."
Huo Yuhao: "!!!"
Qian Xunji realized his words seemed to have an ambiguous meaning.
"What I mean is, even if the child I have in the future is a son, the position of Pope will still be yours. It's impossible for me to keep having sons; sooner or later, there will be a daughter."
To be fair, the one you have in the future is indeed a daughter.
And she's a great beauty, too.
However, since Qian Xunji is already thinking about finding someone to have children with now, there shouldn't be a Secret Chamber Douluo in the future, right?
