Plan

Jing Hongchen hurried over from the direction of the Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace, carrying the composed air of someone who had just settled an important matter. The moment he stepped into Huo Yuhao's room, his gaze lightly swept over Ye Guyi, whose aura had already changed dramatically, before settling on Huo Yuhao. His tone was solemn and certain.

"Yuhao, I just returned from the palace. I discussed this matter with His Majesty at length, and after careful consideration, His Majesty has formally agreed—the Sun Moon Empire is willing to fully support you in rebuilding Spirit Hall."

Huo Yuhao nodded slightly. His expression remained calm, revealing little emotion, as he merely replied, "I understand."

Jing Hongchen waited for him to continue, but Huo Yuhao first turned to glance at Ye Guyi beside him before facing him again. "Ye Guyi has just broken through rank seventy and entered the Soul Sage realm. I need to take her to the Demon Forest to hunt for the seventh soul ring most suitable for her."

He paused, his tone calm yet leaving no room for refusal. "Rebuilding Spirit Hall is not urgent right now. After you return, help me prepare the personnel and materials first. Once I have helped Ye Guyi absorb her soul ring and stabilize her cultivation, I will notify you immediately upon returning. Then we can officially begin construction."

After saying that, Huo Yuhao looked at Jing Hongchen. His expression was still placid, though now it held a trace more sincerity.

"Dean Jing Hongchen, thank you for introducing me to His Majesty and allowing me to gain the Sun Moon Empire's support. I will remember this kindness."

As soon as he finished speaking, soul power rippled faintly in his palm, and a skull bone glowing with a cold icy-blue radiance quietly appeared. A subdued, condensed Soul Beast aura emanated from it.

"This is a small gift I prepared: a twenty-five-thousand-year Icewing Bat head soul bone. It has an extremely strong affinity for the ice element and can enhance nighttime perception and spiritual power. It is highly compatible with Meng Hongchen's Vermilion Jade Ice Toad Martial Soul and could not be more suitable for her."

Jing Hongchen's gaze sharpened as it fell upon the soul bone. His pupils contracted slightly, and waves of shock rose in his heart.

A twenty-five-thousand-year head soul bone! Such a rare treasure, yet Huo Yuhao was giving it away without even the slightest hesitation.

Sure enough, I did not choose the wrong person! Such courage and resources are far beyond those of an ordinary youth. Following him cannot be a mistake.

Yet he did not lose his composure. He merely drew a deep breath, suppressing his astonishment while maintaining his usual calm demeanor, then raised a hand to accept the soul bone.

"Yuhao, this gift of yours is far too valuable."

Jing Hongchen weighed the soul bone in his hand, his voice steady and gaze open. "However, if Hongchen obtains this soul bone, her strength will surely rise to another level. Since it is a token of your goodwill, I will accept it on her behalf."

He paused, his voice calm and powerful.

"As for rebuilding Spirit Hall, I, Jing Hongchen, will certainly devote myself to it and will not fail your trust."

After nodding, Jing Hongchen turned and took his leave first, setting out to prepare for the rebuilding of Spirit Hall.

Once the room had returned to silence, a lazy, familiar voice slowly awakened in Huo Yuhao's Spirit Sea, carrying a teasing note.

"Yuhao, you really do care a great deal about that little girl from Jing Hongchen's family. You gave away a twenty-five-thousand-year head soul bone without even blinking?"

Hearing this, Huo Yuhao merely smiled faintly. His consciousness sank into his Spirit Sea as he replied softly.

"Brother Tian Meng, it is not as if you do not know. In the Lake of Life, Ditian collected no fewer than hundreds or thousands of soul bones. A twenty-five-thousand-year soul bone is nothing to me. Giving one away is no big deal."

Upon hearing that, Tianmeng Ice Worm immediately snorted in displeasure, his tone filled with helplessness.

"You really have no idea how privileged you sound. A top-tier head soul bone that others could beg for all their lives is no different from something picked up off the roadside to you. Still, that is fine. Such a generous gesture can completely win over Jing Hongchen, so it is worth it."

At that moment, an aged and imposing voice slowly rose from the depths of the Spirit Sea. Its aura was tranquil, yet it carried unquestionable gravity.

It was Electrolux.

"Huo Yuhao, with your current strength, the chances of successfully plotting against the Holy Spirit Cult are still far too low."

Electrolux's voice was calm yet sharp, striking directly at the heart of the matter.

"You must quickly search for the bodies of fallen experts from the past and revive them as Undead Puppets to increase your strength. With your current memories and methods, you should be able to locate no fewer than several top-tier experts."

He paused, his tone especially serious.

"I recommend that you seek out Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo first. The Twin-Level Stasis Domain they could unleash together was the pinnacle of control. Given your current lack of powerful control techniques, they would be exactly what you need. With them, your confidence in dealing with the Holy Spirit Cult would increase severalfold."

Huo Yuhao closed his eyes slightly, then opened them a moment later. His gaze had become resolute.

"Mm, agreed. Once I help Ye Guyi absorb her seventh soul ring and stabilize her realm, I will immediately set out to find the remains of Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo."

He paused, his tone steady and calculated.

"As for rebuilding Spirit Hall... we can put it aside for now. There is no need to rush. This matter can first be allowed to gradually ferment in public opinion. Once the time is right, we can act with the tide, and the results will be even better."
