Conflict Between the Old and New Holy Spirit Cults (Four Thousand)

Watching Ning Fengzhi get up and leave, Zhen Hua looked at Xiong Jun beside him, "Pagoda Master Xiong Jun, how much of what you believe?"

Xiong Jun looked at Huo Yuhao, "I believe him about 80%. At least his account of the Qilin Douluo's experiences is largely accurate. My disciple's father is named Tang Ziran. Although he is Mecha Designer for the Federation, he is indeed from the Star Luo Empire."

He had heard Wulin mention that his parents had been targeted by Evil Spirit Master, and now that he knew about Tang Ziran's relationship with Qilin Douluo, Xiong Jun couldn't help but have some guesses.

Perhaps the reason why Tang Ziran and his wife were targeted by the Evil Spirit Master was... the Darkness Kirin.

Zhen Hua frowned subconsciously. "So, Ning Fengzhi came specifically for you and me?"

"That's possible." Xiong Jun stood up. "But we can't ignore Star Luo Empire's intelligence. Your Zhen Hua, what do you plan to do?"

"According to the Star Luo Empire's plan, the participants will stay in the Star Luo Empire for about a year. Na'er, Yuhao, and Tang Wulin are all from your Spirit Pagoda. Although the culprit who attacked me is related to the Star Luo Empire, finding the culprit is not as important as the safety of our juniors."

Zhen Hua shook his head. "Besides, with my strength, going to the Star Luo Empire might just make me a weakness you need to protect. So whether or not to participate is up to your Spirit Pagoda."

"I need to think about it and discuss it with the other Tower Master... but I'll most likely participate."

Xiong Jun glanced at Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao.

In any case, these two are definitely going to the Star Luo Continent, so going along with Ning Fengzhi's plan is the best option. The key issue is Wulin... there's some trouble with him.

We need to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Tang Ziran.

After learning the information from Ning Fengzhi, Xiong Jun and Zhen Hua got busy.

Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena left the office without disturbing them, and then received an unexpected invitation.

"Are you two free right now? The Governor of Heaven Dou City is hosting a banquet for our delegation members, and Miss Dai Yun'er would like to invite you both to join us."

Lin Yuhan stood at the corner of the corridor, holding two gold-embossed invitations in her hand, a polite smile on her face but feeling somewhat awkward inside.

In terms of status, these two are no less than Miss Dai Yun'er, so her formality is perfectly understandable. However, having just challenged the Blacksmith Association, and now to deliver an invitation, she herself felt her face burning with embarrassment.

If she had known it would turn out this way, she shouldn't have told Miss Dai Yun'er that Huo Yuhao was here.

Gu Yuena frowned upon hearing this.

Dai Yun'er? From the Star Luo Dai Family? When did she get involved with Yuhao?

Huo Yuhao glanced at Lin Yuhan indifferently and shook his head slightly, "Sorry, we're not interested."

Without pausing, he walked directly out of the Blacksmith Association.

Dai Luoli... Because of a debt of gratitude, Huo Yuhao did not kill him. Instead, he used the Spirit Pagoda to make things easier for him. However, the grudges from Ten Thousand Years Ago had long since vanished with the dust, and the current Star Luo Dai Family had nothing to do with him.

Lin Yuhan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, thought for a moment, and then said in a low voice:

"Huo Yuhao's martial Martial Soul is the same as Miss Dai Yun'er's, with the same blue eyes and a similar talent for Divine Power. Although Miss Dai Yun'er is slightly weaker than you, she is currently only at the Four Rings cultivation level, but her Divine Power is already close to the Spirit Abyss Realm, which is why she is interested in you."

Determining whether Martial Soul is the same is not difficult at all, given the current research on Martial Soul in the Soul Master World. Almost every faction has summarized the Martial Soul that have appeared on the continent. This is why there is the evaluation of Unique Martial Soul.

The term "uniqueness" refers to Martial Soul that has only appeared once in the history of soul masters. Lan Muzi, the Grandmaster of the Inner Court of the Shrek Academy, possesses such Martial Soul.

Of course, Lin Yuhan was unaware of this. However, she knew that the First Generation Tower Master of the Spirit Pagoda possessed a unique Martial Soul, and no similar Martial Soul had ever appeared to this day.

The Spirit Eyes Martial Soul is not unique. Huo Yuhao and Dai Yun'er have so many similar characteristics, so it's not difficult to determine whether they are the same Martial Soul.

When Huo Yuhao was at the Four Rings, he was at the Spirit Abyss Realm, while Miss Dai Yun'er was at the peak of the Spirit Sea Realm, close to the Spirit Abyss Realm.

Because of the Soul Skill "Spiritual Detection," Miss Dai Yun'er is currently a Level 6 Manufacturer, Huo Yuhao is currently a Level 7 Dual Profession, so he probably also has a similar Soul Skill, "Spiritual Detection."

Although it might be impolite to think that way, in Lin Yuhan's eyes, Dai Yun'er was like a weaker version of Huo Yuhao. The resemblance was so extreme that it couldn't be described as a coincidence.

"Huo Yuhao, aren't you curious...?"

Lin Yuhan's words came to an abrupt halt, as if an Formless hand had gripped her throat. Huo Yuhao turned around, his icy blue eyes radiating a suffocating pressure.

"I told you, I'm not interested."

Lin Yuhan forced a smile, but couldn't hide the shock in her eyes. She hurriedly bowed and took her leave, "Okay, I understand. I'm sorry to have bothered you."

Only after her figure disappeared at the end of the corridor did the golden light in Huo Yuhao's eyes gradually fade.

Seeing this, Gu Yuena whispered, "Yuhao, do you really hate the Dai family?"

"The grudges are settled, there's nothing more to say. There's no question of liking or disliking."

"I see..."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's calm expression, Gu Yuena felt slightly relieved. "That Dai Yun'er has the same Martial Soul as you, Yuhao, what are your thoughts?"

According to Lin Yuhan, in terms of achievements in various aspects, Dai Yun'er is like Yuhao's alter ego.

Despite being close in age to them and not being a Soul Master who Re-Cultivation, his Divine Power was already approaching the Spirit Abyss Realm... This clearly demonstrates that the Spiritual Eye is indeed a top-tier Spiritual Attribute Body Martial Soul. The improvement it provides to Divine Power is simply terrifying.

"Her Martial Soul and Martial Soul are fundamentally different now." Huo Yuhao shook his head. "Of course, I prefer my current Spirit Eyes Martial Soul."

There are two theories about the origin of the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul in the original work.

In the early stages, the original owner always claimed that the Spiritual Eye was a product of Martial Soul Mutation, but later it was said to be inherited from his mother. However, the examples of the Martial Soul Second Awakening and Dai Yun'er basically refuted the latter claim.

The full name of the White Tiger Martial Soul is Evil-Eyed White Tiger. Its characteristic is that it has double pupils. After the original body's Martial Soul Second Awakening, it possessed the evil-eyed feature of the White Tiger Martial Soul. Dai Yun'er, on the other hand, has Twin Martial Souls — Spiritual Eye and Hell Spirit Cat. It is clear that the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul and the White Tiger Martial Soul are inextricably linked.

Perhaps this is one of the reasons why he did not focus on cultivating the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul Ten Thousand Years Ago, but instead underwent Secondary Awakening, and why he chose to integrate the Undead Martial Soul into the Spirit Eyes Martial Soul during his Secondary Awakening Ten Thousand Years later.

He could accept having the blood of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, but the double pupils... he instinctively felt some resistance to them.

"Alright, what Dai Yun'er's Martial Soul is is irrelevant."

Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of Skysea City, "I'll be leaving soon, and I don't know when I'll be back. I should go and say hello to everyone."

The Star Luo Continent and the Douluo Continent are extremely far apart, and it would take about half a year to travel back and forth. How long it would take to explore Dragon Valley is also an unknown.

This trip means I won't be back for a while.

"What did you say? They refused?"

Dai Yun'er stood in the room arranged for them by the governor of Heaven Dou City, holding Soul Tool Communicator in her hand, her brows furrowed. She had thought that with the membership of the delegation and her own status, inviting Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena to the banquet would not be a problem. However, the message from the other end of the Communicator surprised her.

"Miss Dai Yun'er, Mr. Huo Yuhao has made it clear that he has no interest in the banquet, and his attitude is very firm." Lin Yuhan's voice came through the Communicator, tinged with a hint of helplessness and embarrassment.

Dai Yun'er remained silent for a moment, her mind racing. She knew that Huo Yuhao and Gu Yuena were no ordinary people, especially Huo Yuhao, who was the next successor to the Next Pagoda Master of the Spirit Pagoda. If he really didn't want to come, there was nothing she could do.

She pouted, "Then forget it, come back. We can talk about it another time."

To Dai Yun'er's surprise, she didn't have the chance to see Huo Yuhao until the time came to return to the Star Luo Continent.

As the Star Luo Empire delegation traveled around, the leaders of the four major forces, with the Spirit Pagoda at the head, and the Federation Speaker all learned of Ning Fengzhi's plan and took corresponding measures.

Among them, Shrek Academy, which has always had dealings with the Star Luo Empire, is the most supportive of this plan.

If this exchange and cooperation can completely dispel the tense atmosphere between the two continents and allow the dawn of peace to truly shine in every corner of the Douluo Continent, that would be the situation Shrek Academy most hopes to see.

Therefore, they quickly arranged the participants and Team Leader leaders for the exchange activities through a series of "competitions" such as the Promotion Match.

The atmosphere Sea God Pavilion was solemn and dignified.

Yun Ming's gaze fell on the Passionate Douluo Zang Xin, and he said in a deep voice, "Amorous, you will be in charge of leading this exchange activity. The Holy Spirit Cult has been lying low for Ten Thousand Years, and the power it has secretly accumulated should not be underestimated. You must act with caution."

Zang Xin nodded slightly, a sharp glint in his eyes. "Rest assured, Pavilion Master, I will ensure this trip goes perfectly."

Yun Ming pondered for a moment, then said, "Based on my understanding of Qian Gu Dong Feng and the others, once they know that Shrek will be led by you, they probably won't send Limit Douluo- level experts to participate—at least not openly. After all, too many top-tier combatants entering Star Luo Empire would easily alert them. Therefore, you are likely to become the only Limit Douluo openly, bearing considerable pressure."

Zang Xin smiled calmly, his tone steady:

"No problem, we'll meet force with force and water with water. As long as the Holy Spirit Cult dares to show its face, I'll make sure they never return."

Meanwhile, at the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

At the top of the towering Spirit Pagoda, outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the sea of clouds surged, while inside, a somber atmosphere prevailed.

Qian Gu Dong Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his deep gaze fixed on the huge Soul Guidance Screen before him. The screen was divided into dozens of smaller sub-screens, each displaying the figure of a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda.

"The Federation has approved this exchange program, and Shrek Academy has already begun preparations. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy has also contacted me, intending to have its Spirit Pagoda students participate. I think it's acceptable. What are your opinions?"

The Darkness Kirin of the Holy Spirit Cult is related to Pagoda Master Xiong Jun's disciple and the Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua. The Spirit Pagoda is aware of the relevant information and has to take action both morally and logically. However, the choice of who to participate and the form of participation are still matters.

In the ensuing silence, Di Tian spoke first.

"That's fine, that's in line with the Spirit Pagoda's usual practices, but who do you plan to send to lead the team?"

I plan to Spirit Envoy Zhao as an envoy.

Di Tian and Qian Gu Dong Feng exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

Since Di Tian agreed, no one else would have any objections.

However, some people felt uneasy about the reasons behind this exchange activity.

Leng Yaozhu frowned. "Aren't you all worried that this might be a conspiracy by the Star Luo Continent? According to the Star Luo Empire delegation, when our personnel arrive in the Star Luo Empire, they will arrive just in time for the All-Continent Soul Master Academy Tournament. Coupled with the Holy Spirit Cult, don't you think this is very similar to something that Ten Thousand Years Ago?"

Unlike their Douluo Continent, the Star Luo Continent still has a tradition from Ten Thousand Years Ago, where All-Continent Spirit Master Competition is held regularly. This is mainly related to the strength of the younger generation on both sides.

After all, in their Federation, if a Soul Master Academy Tournament for those under twenty years old were to be held, and freaks like the Heaven Supporting Douluo and the Soul Suppressing Douluo participated, could the others withstand it? Would there even be any point in fighting?

Star Luo Empire, on the other hand, did not have such concerns, so it has continued to uphold tradition.

But it was this tradition, coupled with the Holy Spirit Cult, that made Leng Yaozhu somewhat uneasy.

"You must understand, there are no new things in this world, only Reincarnation upon cycles. The possibility of cooperation between the Star Luo Empire and the Holy Spirit Cult is not nonexistent."

"You mean the story of how Ten Thousand Years Ago, the Sun Moon Empire, in alliance with the Holy Spirit Cult, eliminated the geniuses and powerhouses who originally belonged to the Douluo Three Kingdoms during the Spirit Master Competition? Now that you mention it, it does feel a bit familiar."

The one who spoke was a red-haired man.

It is none other than the Scarlet King, one of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, the guardian of the Auspicious Beast Lady, and the beast that has never been seen in the Douluo 3!

This Ferocious Beast, who at this stage had either become Soul Spirit or perished, was now appearing "alive" at the Spirit Pagoda's high-level meeting. His fingertips lightly tapped the table, a blood-red glint flashing in his eyes:

"But Your Heavenly Phoenix Crown, do not forget the most crucial point—times have changed."

"Unlike Ten Thousand Years Ago, the Star Luo Federation is not the Sun Moon Empire. The Holy Spirit Cult of today is no longer the invincible force that once possessed two Limit; it's just a bunch of rats in the gutter. And our Spirit Pagoda is far beyond what those forces that were wiped out back then can be compared to!"

"If they dare to make a move, then let them taste the consequences!"

The air in the conference hall suddenly froze, but no one refuted the Scarlet King's words.

As he said, the Spirit Pagoda is incomparable to the original Douluo Three Kingdoms.

"I'm just worried about the safety of the younger generation."

Leng Yaozhu frowned and looked at Qian Gu Dong Feng, "Let my sister go too. The Execution Department has the most experience in dealing with Evil Spirit Master."

After a moment's thought, Qian Gu Dong Feng nodded slightly. "Very well."

On the Federation's side, the Dark Department will definitely send people to the Star Luo Empire in secret, most likely the same acting minister. With three experts in dealing with Evil Spirit Master present, it is indeed reassuring.

But when Huo Yuhao learned of this news, his feelings were somewhat inexplicable.

Dark Blood Demon, Dark Bell, Dark Phoenix VS Holy Spirit Cult?

Is this a conflict between the old and new Holy Spirit Cult?

Or is it this formula?

The plan to eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult was devised by the Four Heavenly Kings of the Holy Spirit Cult!
