Background / History
Spirit Hall operates a major branch in Heaven Dou City, where it conducts spirit awakening ceremonies. Its main hall is an ornate, cathedral-like building, and orphanage children are given a separate passage for the ceremony. Spirit Hall personnel guide the awakenings, test innate soul power, and identify prospective soul masters. 1 2
The organization distributes soul coins to low-ranking soul masters and provides free martial soul awakenings. These practices give it extensive records on soul masters across the continent, including many from remote regions where membership is not compulsory. 2 28
When Yun Chen awakened the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff martial soul and demonstrated innate full soul power, Heaven Dou branch Platinum Bishop Salas immediately attempted to recruit him. He offered Spirit Hall cultivation resources and promised a Title Douluo-level teacher, but Qian Renxue—operating publicly as Crown Prince Xue Qinghe—recruited Yun Chen first and removed him from the branch. 2 3 4
The loss triggered internal friction. Bibi Dong ordered Yue Guan to retrieve Yun Chen, while the Hall of Worship intervened through Lion Douluo, who barred Yue Guan from taking him away. Lion Douluo explicitly prioritized the Hall of Worship's decision over the Pope's order. 4 6
Qian Renxue later revealed to Yun Chen that she was from Spirit Hall and was carrying out an undercover mission within the Heaven Dou Empire. She offered him the choice of returning to Spirit Hall or remaining in the empire to work with her. 12
After Yun Chen became Qian Renxue's Regent, she granted him access to the Hall of Worship's highest-grade resources and made his Spirit Hall identity top secret. His provisions were to be comparable to Qian Renxue's own. 15
Qian Renxue later wrote to both the Hall of the Pope and Hall of Worship to expand the Soul Hunt Operation against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, recommending Azure Luan Douluo and Lion Douluo as additional forces. 25
Following Yun Chen's proposal, Qian Renxue planned to use Spirit Hall's records to locate high-potential commoner soul masters, particularly those with innate soul power above Rank 7 from the previous five years. Candidates could be recruited under the Crown Prince's Residence, trained by Spirit Hall, or eliminated if they were actively hostile to Spirit Hall. 27 28
Spirit Hall's large-scale gathering of soul master information drew Tang Hao's attention. After he destroyed the Notting City branch, the Hall of Worship dispatched Lion Douluo, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and other worshippers to investigate. Tang Hao was ultimately killed after Qian Daoliu intervened. 31
As Qian Renxue consolidated authority while disguised as Xue Qinghe, Spirit Hall's long-term infiltration of the Heaven Dou Empire approached completion. Xueye's worsening condition transferred most imperial affairs to the Crown Prince, while Qian Renxue continued preparations to assume control of the empire. 59 60
During the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament, Spirit Hall publicly gave the Heaven Dou delegation an exceptionally grand reception led by Yue Guan, while the Star Luo delegation received a substantially lesser welcome. This demonstrated its preferential treatment of Qian Renxue's side and served as a warning to the Star Luo Empire. 66
Qian Renxue's arrival in Spirit City further exposed her standing as Spirit Hall's young mistress. Yue Guan treated her with marked deference, and her replacement of the real Xue Qinghe meant that Spirit Hall had effectively secured control over Heaven Dou's succession. 67 69
The Hall of Worship later learned that Yun Chen was the Sea God's chosen inheritor after the Sea God's divine power repelled the Angel God's test. Qian Daoliu and the worshippers consequently regarded Yun Chen and Qian Renxue as a potential divine pair capable of bringing multiple gods into Spirit Hall's future. 77 81
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong received a Rakshasa God Trial requiring her to make contact with the Sea God's inheritor. Unaware that Yun Chen was the inheritor, she ordered her subordinates to collect information, creating a new source of danger within Spirit Hall. 82
