At the same time, a message, arranged by Yue Guan, quickly spread throughout the entire continent.

"Seven days from now, the Spirit Hall will officially appoint a new Holy Son." This announcement will be made to the entire continent.

Once the news spread, it swept across the entire Douluo Continent like a whirlwind. In just a few days, the news of the Spirit Hall's newly appointed Holy Son spread throughout all the major sects and the two great empires.

In the council hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi held a message sent back from Spirit City. His fingers tightened slightly, his expression was solemn, and his eyes were full of surprise and doubt.

He looked at the two Douluo, Sword and Bone, whose expressions were also rather grim, and slowly said, "Jiang Baiyu was a student at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. But, Uncle Jian, Uncle Bone, the Spirit Hall's sudden conferment of Holy Son seems rather suspicious. Moreover, according to our spies, this newly Holy Son seems to have gone to the Worship Hall first. In other words, he is from the Worship Hall. Could it be that the Great Enshrined, who usually doesn't concern himself with worldly affairs, is about to make his move again?"

When he said this, his expression was extremely solemn. You must know that this person was active during his great-grandfather's time, when he was already Titled Douluo.

At the same time, Sword Douluo Chen Xin gripped his teacup tightly, his expression equally grim. "I don't know. Qian Daoliu's intervention might actually be a good thing. Besides, he probably won't attack us."

Speaking of this, the group was indeed not in a hurry. During the time when Qian Daoliu was active, the Spirit Hall was indeed a holy land for Soul Master, only concerned with the cultivation of Soul Master and Soul Beast resources. However, since Bibi Dong became the Pope, her attitude has been extremely tough, which has also made everyone feel a bit of pressure.

"Alas, we are at their mercy, like fish on a chopping board. We can only hope that this ancestor doesn't have any major ambitions towards the Soul Master World."

Ning Fengzhi sighed inwardly, "The Upper Three Sects are closely connected, but the Spirit Hall has long been the sole power. How can they possibly cope? In that case, we can only take it one step at a time."

"What about the Holy Son's coronation ceremony?" Gu Rong asked from the side.

"Go! Tell them to prepare a generous gift." Ning Fengzhi a decisive decision.

"Alright. Even if the Spirit Hall launches an attack, with me, Gu Rong, here, we can rest easy." As a level 94 defensive Douluo, and possessing the almost overpowered spatial ability, he had some confidence.

"Then I'll leave it to Uncle Gu." Ning Fengzhi his hands in greeting. This time, he and Gu Rong would be going to the celebration together again, while Chen Xin would be in charge of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"OK."

Meanwhile, in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Clan Chief Yu Yuanzhen sat in the main seat, looking at the invitation in his hand with a delighted expression.

"It's true! Young Jiang has really been named the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall!" Upon hearing this news, he laughed heartily, lightning crackling faintly around him. "Quickly, prepare the gifts, and come with me to congratulate Young Jiang."

He immediately stood up, thought for a moment, and then said, "Alright, second brother, you personally lead a group to the auction to search for Soul Bone. Third brother, you go find the family's Soul Hunting team and see if they have any."

Upon hearing this, the Second Elder and Third Elder acted immediately without hesitation. Long before, after Yu Tianheng's Martial Soul underwent its transformation, the family had decided to forge this good relationship with Jiang Baiyu. Now, upon learning that he had been named Holy Son, how could they not be excited?

Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Empire, Tang Yuehua, Moonlight Pavilion seeing the news, looked grave and said to an old woman beside her, "Send this news back to the Clear Sky Sect. The Spirit Hall is going to appoint a new Holy Son."

At this moment, many small and medium-sized sects had different thoughts. This news was definitely not just about having an extra Holy Son. Undercurrents were surging across the continent, and an unseen game had quietly begun.

Inside the Elephant Armor Sect, Huyan Zhen was already busy preparing gifts to go to the Spirit Hall to curry favor, hoping to get on the good side of this newly Holy Son. Many other sects were also starting to inquire about the Holy Son's preferences and prepare Holy Son to give him a good impression.

At the same time, many sects like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School were wary and cautious, fearing that the Spirit Hall would use the name of the Holy Son to accelerate its annexation efforts.

The two great empires were the leaders among them, but they too had prepared many rare treasures and set off for Spirit City.

Meanwhile, the Soul Master on the mainland were abuzz with discussion. "The Holy Son! Just what kind of unparalleled genius is the future Pope's successor?!"

Meanwhile, the disciples' area of the Spirit Hall was in an uproar.

As disciples trained by the Spirit Hall, this was the first time they had heard of such an investiture, and they couldn't help but feel curious about this Holy Son they had never met before.

Among them, a red-haired youth scoffed, "What? The position of Holy Son is incredibly important! I heard this time the selection of the Holy Son is just a verbal appointment! A Soul Ancestor who's only level 40, and we've never even seen him before, and he's even Angel God blessing? I think..."

Before he could finish speaking, the girl beside him interrupted, "Yan, you mustn't be rude to the Angel God."

"Nana, I was just saying that in anger. This position of Saintess is clearly yours!"

"Since the teacher has spoken, then he is the Holy Son."

"But..." Yan wanted to say something, but Xie Yue spoke up, "Alright, we can't decide what the teacher thinks. If you really want to challenge, then wait until the Holy Son Challenge Tournament."

Yan wanted to say something more, but finally nodded, "Alright, if he loses, the position of Saintess will still belong to Nana!"

The Holy Son Challenge Tournament is a tradition held at the Spirit Hall's investiture ceremony. Anyone with an age difference of no less than ten years can challenge the Holy Son and take his place. It also serves as a platform for various factions to showcase their geniuses, and naturally, each faction will give them face.

However, this morning their teacher, Bibi Dong, hinted that they could take on the challenge, suggesting that this Holy Son might be up to something.

Seeing this, the three stopped wasting words and continued their cultivation, determined to teach this guy who got in through connections a lesson.

As time went by, the attitudes of the various forces changed drastically, and many forces had already set off to prepare for their journey to Spirit City.

Before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the temple doors were closed for discussion. Ning Fengzhi weighed the pros and cons and decided to personally lead a team to Spirit City to see this newly Holy Son.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, on the other hand, was overjoyed and quickly prepared generous gifts. They even dispatched several elders to search for Soul Bone at various auction houses and among the Soul Hunting teams.

Smaller sects are caught in a dilemma. Some are afraid of the Spirit Hall's power and dare not refuse; others are worried about getting involved in the conflict and are unwilling to get deeply involved.

Some sects and kingdoms affiliated with the Spirit Hall were overjoyed and quickly prepared generous gifts, sending envoys to Spirit City, intending to use the opportunity of the investiture to consolidate their relationship with the Spirit Hall.

The forces hostile to the Spirit Hall were on guard, but under pressure, they still sent people to Spirit City to gather intelligence.

Various forces across the continent, whether proactively or passively, set off and converged on Spirit City.
