Soul Hall's New Generation All Advance

Hearing this, he immediately leaned his head against Bo Saixi's belly with delight.

Two little footprints pressed against the surface of Bo Saixi's belly, and shortly after, Qian Daoliu felt a sharp pain in his cheek. He pulled away from her belly, albeit reluctantly, and complained to her.

"Xixi, the two little ones kicked me. Are you going to do something about it?"

As the words left his lips, Bo Saixi simply spread her hands. "Qian Daoliu, there is truly nothing I can do about this!"

Just like that, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi shared another playful moment. After absorbing the God-given soul rings, the two of them left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with their harvest and returned to the Sun Moon Empire.

Upon returning to the Sun Moon Empire and passing through Tiandou City, Qian Daoliu discovered that a large number of Sun Moon Empire troops were stationed there.

At first, he didn't think much of it, but once he entered the territory of the Sun Moon Empire, he noticed that large armies were constantly gathering throughout the empire.

Only then did Qian Daoliu realize that something had happened within the Sun Moon Empire again.

Helpless, he had no choice but to travel through the night with Bo Saixi.

Finally, they returned to the Ming Capital, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, early the next morning.

This time, the security in the Ming Capital was noticeably tighter, but to the surprise of Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, the city guards seemed to recognize them and let them pass directly.

With that, Qian Daoliu headed straight for the Soul Hall in the Ming Capital.

Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi did not conceal their auras upon their return, so Ye Guyi, Qiangu Zhenyue, and the others soon discovered their arrival.

As soon as they met, Ye Guyi was the first to call out affectionately to them: "Ancestor, Aunt Bo!"

Following that, Qiangu Zhenyue, Qiangu Zhenxie, and the others called out to Qian Daoliu: "Teacher, Aunt Bo!"

Guang Yao addressed them as: "Uncle Qian, Teacher!"

Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi responded to each of them in turn. What surprised them was that standing beside Guang Yao was a silver-clad young girl—none other than Silver Moon, whom Bo Saixi had rescued.

Seeing them acting like close sisters, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi exchanged a glance, both finding it incredible.

However, they did not ask any questions about it, as they had no idea what had transpired between the two over the past month.

After Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi greeted everyone, Qian Daoliu asked Ye Guyi curiously: "Yiyi, where is your teacher?"

Hearing Qian Daoliu's inquiry, Ye Guyi replied: "Ancestor, Teacher is currently handling imperial military affairs."

When mentioning military affairs, Ye Guyi's expression looked slightly weary.

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu became curious. Logically speaking, shouldn't Xu Tianran be handling the empire's military affairs? When did it become necessary for Kong Deming, an imperial Offering, to step in personally?

Qian Daoliu did not voice his question, but Ye Guyi guessed it from the change in his expression. She quickly explained to him:

"Ancestor, after you left, Teacher followed the plan you provided and indeed wiped out that Soul Master Legion from Shrek Academy!"

"But for some reason, the Star Luo Empire and the Douling Empire attacked the Sun Moon Empire at the same time!"

"The empire is under attack from two sides. The Star Luo front is being commanded personally by Empress Ju Zi, and it remains a stalemate for now!"

"However, the Douling front is being suppressed everywhere due to the presence of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

"That is why my teacher was sent by His Majesty to the Douling front to hold off the Douling Empire's offensive!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu's brow slowly smoothed out, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Is that so?"

"Logically speaking, the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology is far ahead of the two great empires!"

"How can they not manage to steamroll them?"

Qian Daoliu asked this question subconsciously.

Hearing this, Ye Guyi answered him directly: "Ancestor, at first it was indeed as you said, but ever since the Douling Empire began cooperating with the Holy Spirit Cult, their soul guidance technology has progressed rapidly!"

"Although they haven't caught up to the empire in such a short time!"

"By relying on the Holy Spirit Cult's Death God Tower, they have consistently suppressed the empire's Soul Master Legion on the battlefield!"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu finally understood where the crux of the problem lay.

It was Ye Xishui, the Supreme Pontiff of the Holy Spirit Cult. That woman herself was an existence close to a Rank 10 Soul Master. With her there, it was no wonder the Douling Empire had been able to threaten the eastern border of the Sun Moon Empire in just one year.

Knowing the predicament the Sun Moon Empire faced, Qian Daoliu had no good solution in the short term. The top priority now was to improve the overall strength of the Soul Hall.

In troubled times, only one's own strength is the most important thing.

Thus, Qian Daoliu led the new generation of the Soul Hall into the secret chamber of the Offering Hall.

Qian Daoliu began by sealing off the entire space of the Offering Hall.

He then solemnly signaled for Bo Saixi to summon the immortal herbs she had brought from the life space.

Bo Saixi lifted her jade hand slightly, and strands of lustrous light poured out from the life space as dozens of rare immortal herbs slowly emerged.

These spiritual objects, which had resided in a secret realm for years, stepped into the human world for the first time. They appeared full of innocence and curiosity, their tender branches and leaves swaying gently. Their glowing leaves looked around, carefully sensing the aura of the world, yet they remained stuck to Bo Saixi's side, not daring to stray even half a step, clinging tightly to this gentle guardian.

Ye Guyi, Qiangu Zhenyue, and the others widened their eyes in shock, their minds completely captivated.

Although they did not know the names of these immortal herbs, the surging life energy and pure origin aura emanating from them made it clear that these were peerless treasures of the world, precious beyond measure.

In the end, it was Ye Guyi who was the most outgoing, unable to contain her curiosity as she asked Qian Daoliu, "Old Ancestor, what are these?"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu chuckled and said, "These? These are all opportunities for you to reach a higher realm!"

"Ah!"

Qian Daoliu's words left Ye Guyi, Qiangu Zhenyue, and the others even more bewildered.

Bo Saixi, unable to watch any longer, stepped forward to explain, "Yiyi, these are immortal herbs, which can also be called transformed spirit beasts!"

"Transformed spirit beasts? Doesn't that mean they are all existences over one hundred thousand years old!"

Ye Guyi blurted out subconsciously.

Bo Saixi nodded in affirmation.

This affirmative nod caused Ye Guyi, Qiangu Zhenyue, and the others to completely lose their composure.

"What? One hundred thousand-year spirit beasts!"

"Teacher, you don't mean they are all prepared for us, do you?"

This time, it was Qiangu Zhenyue who spoke.

Not long ago, Ye Guyi was the first among them to obtain a one-hundred-thousand-year spirit ring; as peers, it would be a lie to say they weren't envious.

But envy was one thing, and one-hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts were rare and hard to come by.

They could only be envious while working hard to cultivate.

Yet now, over a dozen one-hundred-thousand-year plant-type spirit beasts were laid out before them so vividly; how could they not be tempted?

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu took over from Qiangu Zhenyue, saying, "Zhenyue, you are not entirely correct!"

Qian Daoliu's words were like a bucket of cold water, completely extinguishing the hope that had just ignited in Qiangu Zhenyue, Qiangu Zhenxie, and the others.

"I knew it!"

Before Qiangu Zhenyue and Qiangu Zhenxie could lose hope, Qian Daoliu continued to explain, "Zhenyue, each of you will have one of these immortal herbs!"

"First, consume their bodies, and then have them sacrifice themselves to become your one-hundred-thousand-year spirit rings!"

"Hum!"

Happiness had arrived too suddenly.

Qiangu Zhenyue, Qiangu Zhenxie, and the others hadn't even had time to react.

Ye Guyi jumped up happily, tugging at the corner of Qian Daoliu's robe as she asked, "Old Ancestor, is that true?"

Qian Daoliu laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Of course it is true!"

Qiangu Zhenyue, Qiangu Zhenxie, and the others finally snapped out of their daze.

Qian Daoliu then signaled for Bo Saixi to communicate with the immortal herbs and pair them with the appropriate ones according to the needs of each person.

Under Youyou's suggestion, Ye Guyi was paired with the Tulip of Romance;

Qiangu Zhenyue was paired with the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng;

Qiangu Zhenxie was paired with the Nine-Grade Purple Mushroom;

Jin Lin was paired with the Strange Velvet Sky-Reaching Chrysanthemum;

Guang Yao was paired with the Autumn Water Dew;

The five of them began to absorb the energy from the bodies of the immortal herbs according to the methods Qian Daoliu had seen in the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

In the end, under the influence of the immortal herb, Ye Guyi broke through to level 90 and condensed her first spirit core, needing only her ninth spirit ring to officially become a Titled Douluo.

Qiangu Zhenyue broke through directly to level 70 under the influence of the immortal herb;

Qiangu Zhenxie broke through directly to level 70 under the influence of the immortal herb;

Jin Lin broke through directly to level 70 under the influence of the immortal herb;

Guang Yao broke through directly to level 70 under the influence of the immortal herb.

Everyone felt the comprehensive changes in their respective martial spirits, bodies, and spirit power, and were filled with joy; next came the most critical moment.

Bo Saixi communicated with the spirits of the five great immortal herbs, asking them to sacrifice themselves for Ye Guyi and the others.

Under Bo Saixi's gentle mental communication, the spirits of the five great immortal herbs all understood, their gently swaying branches and leaves glowing with dazzling seven-colored spiritual light.

They all complied with the instructions, performing the complete method of sacrifice, and their pure, majestic origin spirit power turned into rolling streams of light, pouring into the bodies of the five.

The warm, healing spiritual power enveloped Ye Guyi, Qiangu Zhenyue, and the others, warmth flowing through their limbs and bones, washing over their meridians and martial spirits.

The five closed their eyes tightly, their expressions relaxed and comfortable, enjoying this ultimate nourishment as they let the one-hundred-thousand-year immortal herb origin continuously temper their bodies and fill their spirit power, waiting for the moment of transformation as the spirit rings took shape.

In an instant, brilliant spirit light burst forth, and the transformation was complete.

A halo of light surged around Ye Guyi, and a heavy, profound one-hundred-thousand-year ninth spirit ring slowly took shape and landed, rooting firmly as she officially stepped into the ranks of quasi-Titled Douluo.

Her cultivation had also reached an astonishing level 93.

At the same time, spiritual light bloomed from Qiangu Zhenyue, Qiangu Zhenxie, Jin Lin, and Guang Yao, as they neatly condensed their shimmering one-hundred-thousand-year seventh spirit rings, the patterns on the rings full and majestic.

Everyone's aura surged, their spirit power became thick and stable, and each person's cultivation and martial spirit foundation had achieved a qualitative leap.

As for their cultivation, in the end, Qiangu Zhenyue reached level 76, Qiangu Zhenxie reached level 76, Jin Lin reached level 75, and Guang Yao reached level 75.

All five of them had completed their respective transformations.

Looking at their newly condensed hundred-thousand-year spirit rings, the five of them, including Ye Guyi, were incomparably thrilled.

Just as the entire Offering Hall was immersed in an atmosphere of joy, a familiar voice suddenly drifted in from outside the hall: "Your Excellency Angel, Your Excellency Sea God, Xu Tianran has come to request an audience!"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi exchanged a glance; they both knew that since they had arrived in Ming Capital, a meeting with Xu Tianran was inevitable, though they wondered what business he had with them this time.

Since the distribution of the immortal herbs had just been settled, Qian Daoliu signaled for Bo Saixi to put away the remaining ones.

Afterward, Qian Daoliu withdrew the barrier and led the group out to meet Xu Tianran.

As Qian Daoliu and the others stepped out of the Offering Hall, they saw that old rascal Xu Tianran sitting in his wheelchair with a miserable expression on his face.

Seeing Qian Daoliu and the others emerge, Xu Tianran immediately rose from his wheelchair and bowed respectfully to Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi: "Tianran pays his respects to Your Excellency Angel and Your Excellency Sea God!"

In the brief moment he was bent over, he didn't forget to sneak a glance at Ye Guyi, who stood beside Qian Daoliu.

He was met with a fierce glare from Ye Guyi.

Qian Daoliu seemed to notice this.

He replied in a cool, indifferent tone, telling Xu Tianran there was no need for such formalities, before asking: "I wonder what brings Your Majesty here today?"

Xu Tianran wasn't annoyed by Ye Guyi's glare, but upon hearing Qian Daoliu's inquiry, he shuddered visibly and hurriedly straightened up to respond: "Your Excellency Angel, Tianran knows it is presumptuous to disturb you so suddenly, but I truly have no other choice!"

"Just as you entered Ming Capital, urgent reports arrived simultaneously from the Star Luo front and the Douling front!"

"On the Star Luo Empire front, two Limit Douluo powerhouses suddenly appeared!"

"This has forced Ju Zi into a desperate defensive struggle!"

"If we cannot send reinforcements, I fear the Mingdou Mountain Range will fall, and the entire Sun Moon Empire will be left with no natural defenses!"

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly at this, asking with some curiosity: "Have you discovered their backgrounds?"

Hearing this, Xu Tianran immediately perked up, realizing that Qian Daoliu was interested. As expected, the strong are always drawn to one another!

Thus, Xu Tianran replied respectfully: "To tell you the truth, Your Excellency Angel, their origins are mysterious!"

"We only know that one of the two Limit Douluos is a man whose martial soul is the Clear Sky Hammer!"

"The other person's martial soul is the Blue Silver Grass!"

"Clear Sky Hammer!"

"Blue Silver Grass!"

While Qian Daoliu was still ruminating on these two martial souls, Bo Saixi reminded him: "Qian Daoliu, could it be Tang Chen?"

"Unlikely."

Qian Daoliu dismissed the suggestion: "Xixi, although Tang Chen has the time and the motive, don't forget that he just recently used his ring-detonation spirit skill; he cannot possibly have the strength to fight again so soon!"

Bo Saixi felt there was merit to his words, so she ventured another guess: "Could it be someone else from the Clear Sky Sect?"

Qian Daoliu nodded at this: "Xixi, that is the only explanation that makes sense."

Standing nearby, Xu Tianran was shaken by Bo Saixi's speculation.

"Your Excellency, do you mean to say that the Clear Sky Sect, the number one sect on the Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago, has joined this war?"

Qian Daoliu simply nodded, confirming Xu Tianran's suspicion.

"Then we are doomed!"

Xu Tianran blurted out instinctively.

Qian Daoliu was curious: Why doomed?

At worst, he and Bo Saixi could simply make a trip to the Mingdou front.

Thus, Qian Daoliu continued to ask: "Your Majesty, is there anything else?"

Hearing this, Xu Tianran snapped out of his panic and immediately said to Qian Daoliu: "Your Excellency, just yesterday, a report came from the Douling front that Elder Kong..."

"What happened to Kong Deming?"

"What happened to Teacher!"

"What happened to Brother Kong!"
