Holy Light Firebird, Nighttime Conversation

Time flew by like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, a year and a half had passed. Today, Su Yu had successfully broken through to Level 20. All he needed was one Spirit Ring to enter the ranks of Great Spirit Masters.

"I finally reached Level 20."

Su Yu let out a sigh of relief. He had spent the entire past year and a half laying low in the Elder Palace.

During that time, whenever he went to Spirit City to buy things, he would see Bibi Dong watching him from the top floor of the Pope Palace.

That smile on her face made Su Yu's scalp tingle.

Fortunately, Elders had always accompanied him. Otherwise, he would surely have been captured and used for experiments.

Having successfully broken through to Great Spirit Master, Su Yu did not linger in his room. He quickly made his way to the Elder Palace.

"Grandpa Qian, I've broken through to Great Spirit Master."

Su Yu hurried over with quick little steps.

Qian Daoliu had been handling documents, but upon hearing this, he immediately put down what he was doing.

"A Great Spirit Master already? That was fast. Weren't you only Level 19 last time?"

Qian Daoliu was quite surprised.

"Hehe, just luck."

Su Yu smiled modestly.

"Since you've broken through to Great Spirit Master, Grandpa Qian will take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt a Spirit Beast."

Qian Daoliu was naturally delighted by Su Yu's breakthrough to Great Spirit Master.

He was far more impressive than his own Qian Jili.

Come to think of it, with Xiao Yu's talent, could he really inherit the Angel God Position?

Qian Daoliu had his suspicions, but since Su Yu did not possess the Six-Winged Angel, it was ultimately unlikely.

Of course, what if Su Yu could undergo Bloodline Evolution?

At that thought, Qian Daoliu's heart grew heated.

Apart from the Clear Sky Twin Stars who had emerged from Bibi Dong's generation until now, as well as the Blue Lightning Twin Stars claimed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan,

Su Yu could completely form the Angel Twin Stars with Qian Renxue within Spirit Hall's Angel Lineage.

Putting everything else aside, both of them were exceptionally talented.

Once Su Yu grew a little older, he could slowly tell him the truth.

"Let's go."

Qian Daoliu immediately summoned his Martial Soul, then departed from the Elder Palace with Su Yu.

The other Elders all sensed the disturbance. A few wanted to follow, but in that brief moment, Qian Daoliu had already flown beyond Spirit Hall's territory.

Meanwhile, atop the highest observation platform of the Pope Palace.

"He's leaving already?"

"He broke through to Great Spirit Master in a year and a half?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

That talent was truly rather astonishing.

Back then, it had taken her more than two years to break through to Great Spirit Master.

Yet this boy had broken through so quickly.

"The faster he breaks through, the more he can endure."

"I refuse to believe you'll hide in the Elder Palace forever."

Bibi Dong sneered.

After some time, Qian Daoliu successfully landed in the Star Dou Great Forest with Su Yu.

"Xiao Yu, what age of Spirit Ring are you planning to obtain?"

Qian Daoliu considered Su Yu's First Spirit Ring, which had been a 720-Year-Old Gleaming Mantis. His Second Spirit Ring should therefore be between one thousand and two thousand years old.

"Between 2,000-Year and 3,000-Year. I ate some high-quality Whale Glue, and it strengthened my physique and bones considerably."

Su Yu believed this was extremely safe. A thousand-year Spirit Ring would be too wasteful.

"Alright, it's settled, then." Qian Daoliu agreed with a smile. It was truly rare for someone so young to have such a strong mind of his own.

Next came the search for a suitable Spirit Beast.

Finding a suitable Spirit Beast took quite a long time.

The Star Dou Great Forest covered an enormous area, stretching across the territories of two great empires.

After searching the Star Dou Great Forest for two days, they still had not found a suitable Spirit Beast.

At night, they set up camp beneath a tree and rested beside a bonfire.

Other Spirit Masters would certainly not dare to light a fire, but as a Peak Douluo, Qian Daoliu naturally had no such concerns.

"Grandpa Qian, try this grilled fish."

Su Yu handed Qian Daoliu a grilled fish skewered on a wooden stick.

Qian Daoliu accepted it and took a bite.

"It tastes pretty good. Xiao Yu, you know how to grill fish too?"

"I used to train by the river often. When I got hungry, I would catch fish and grill them, so I learned a little."

Su Yu gave a very brief answer.

There were many ways to prepare grilled fish. Su Yu naturally only knew the ordinary method. If he had cumin to sprinkle over it, it would definitely taste much better.

After taking a few bites, Qian Daoliu said, "Xiao Yu, what are your thoughts on Vast Sea City?"

"Vast Sea City?" Su Yu swallowed the fish in his mouth before answering, "Naturally, we should take it. Since Grandpa Qian brought it up, you must be planning to bring Vast Sea City under Spirit Hall's command. That way, the source of Whale Glue can be largely monopolized."

"As expected of Xiao Yu. You understand immediately."

"I discussed it with the other Elders, and we have decided to take Vast Sea City."

Qian Daoliu had calculated it. Vast Sea City produced a considerable amount of Whale Glue every month and possessed the largest port in the surrounding seas.

Through Vast Sea City, together with the stationing of Spirit Hall's troops, they could completely blockade the maritime trade routes.

That would allow Spirit Hall's rule to extend into the seas.

They had not considered this before, but with the emergence of Whale Glue, Vast Sea City had to be brought under their control.

"Grandpa Qian, aside from the seas, don't you have any other thoughts?"

Su Yu continued asking.

"I do have other thoughts. Long ago, Grandpa Qian once wanted to spread faith in the Angel God throughout the oceans, and I accidentally discovered the location of Sea God Island.

"When Spirit Hall sent troops to land on Sea God Island back then, there were indeed seven Title Douluo on that small island, as well as one Level 99 Peak Douluo.

"The situation was far worse then. Spirit Hall even lost two Title Douluo, and after that, Grandpa Qian gave up on the idea of going to Sea God Island."

In the sea, Bo Saixi was practically invincible, and she could also draw upon the divine might of the Sea God.

"Grandpa Qian, who was that other Peak Douluo?" Seeing the way Qian Daoliu spoke, Su Yu asked curiously. He seemed to have fallen into some sort of memory.

Qian Daoliu sighed softly. "To tell you the truth, Grandpa Qian went to Sea God Island back then with another Peak Douluo, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Chen."

"After spending some time together, Tang Chen and I both fell for Bo Saixi. But Bo Saixi ultimately chose Tang Chen, while I returned to Spirit Hall at that time."

"Oh, Sea God Island also possesses an inheritance of a God Position, known as the Sea God."

After hearing that, Su Yu nodded.

"Then where did Tang Chen go?"

"Tang Chen disappeared. According to those people from the Clear Sky School, he vanished while searching for the legendary Deity."

Qian Daoliu answered briefly.

Su Yu fell into thought.

"That is about all of Grandpa Qian's experience. It's getting late, Xiao Yu, so rest early." Qian Daoliu said, "I'll keep watch."

"Sorry to trouble you, Grandpa Qian."

Su Yu leaned against a nearby rock and closed his eyes to rest.

Qian Daoliu looked at Su Yu and smiled faintly.

After a night had passed, Su Yu awoke to the cry of a bird.

Qian Daoliu immediately began scouting the surroundings. Upon discovering that it was a Spirit Beast with a sacred attribute, he promptly took Su Yu there at top speed.

When they arrived, Qian Daoliu and Su Yu saw the Spirit Beast perched atop a mountain peak.

Its entire body was covered in interwoven golden and crimson plumage. Its broad wings burned with pure golden flames along their edges, its golden eyes were clear and sharp, a golden feathered crest grew from its head, and its long tail feathers flowed elegantly. It radiated a noble, blazing aura.

"A 2,500-Year-Old Holy Light Firebird!"
