"That's good!" Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Li Fei with a serious expression and warned, "Fei Er, you'll be heading to Spirit Hall tomorrow. When you get there, be careful with your words and focus on what you need to do. Spirit Hall is unlike other places. The forces within are deeply intertwined, and one careless mistake could put our entire family in a grave situation."
"I know. I'll be careful!" Li Fei said solemnly.
Spirit Hall was the largest Soul Master organization on the continent, but it was not solely controlled by the Qian Family. Many forces across the continent held positions within Spirit Hall, and the Worship Hall in particular housed many worshippers who had reached the level of Super Douluo. Even the Pope often could not influence them.
This was not yet the era when Bibi Dong held power, when nearly all opposing forces had been purged.
Early the next morning!
Li Fei changed into a set of fitted black clothes and tidied his appearance, making himself look sharp and capable. Only then did he take the token Qian Renxue had given him and head toward Spirit Hall's headquarters.
It took him more than half an hour to reach the entrance of Spirit Hall headquarters. As he looked at the enormous Six-Winged Angel statue with its arms spread around the gates, his heart filled with awe.
Even in his previous life, the only statue over a hundred meters tall had been the Statue of Liberty. Yet the Statue of Liberty was nowhere near as exquisite as the Angel Statue before him.
After steadying his emotions, Li Fei slowly walked through the gates.
"Stop!" Just as Li Fei entered, he heard an angry shout. Turning around, he saw an armored guard emerge from the side.
"Kid, this isn't a place you can enter whenever you please!" the guard said coldly.
"Saintess Qian Renxue summoned me here," Li Fei replied flatly. As he spoke, he took the token Qian Renxue had given him from his Storage Bracelet and handed it over.
"So you're the person His Holiness the Pope mentioned. You're just a child?" The guard looked at the token in his hand with some surprise, returned it to Li Fei, and smiled. "Go on in! Follow the main road straight ahead, and you'll find the person waiting for you!"
"Thank you!"
Li Fei thanked him, tossed the token back into his Storage Bracelet, and proceeded down the road. The road was exceptionally wide, over thirty meters across, with all kinds of greenery lining both sides, making it look beautiful and natural.
After walking around four hundred meters, Li Fei finally saw Spirit Hall's cathedral. Snake Lance Douluo She Long was standing at the entrance, and Li Fei immediately understood that he was waiting for him.
He was inwardly shocked. To have a Titled Douluo wait for him—what was going on?! He had originally thought that having a Soul Emperor receive him would already count as considerable importance.
"Looks like you came early. I thought I'd have to wait a while!" She Long said with a smile.
"I wouldn't dare keep Saintess Qian Renxue waiting," Li Fei replied humbly.
"Alright! Let's go! His Holiness the Pope wants to see you first!"
Li Fei obediently followed behind She Long and walked into the cathedral.
The cathedral was enormous, likely covering more than a thousand square meters. Twelve massive pillars stood on each side to support it, their surfaces clearly carved with angelic patterns. Murals covered the walls on both sides. Li Fei took a look and saw that they roughly depicted the process of the Angel God creating Spirit Hall.
At the end of the cathedral stood a hundred steps, symbolizing becoming a god after climbing a hundred steps. Above the stairs sat a massive chair, occupied by a middle-aged man with long golden hair and handsome features. He wore golden papal robes, held a scepter representing papal authority, and sat there examining Li Fei. A faint, interested smile appeared on his naturally imposing face.
"Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope!" She Long said with a slight nod.
"Li Fei greets Your Holiness the Pope!" Li Fei said respectfully, dropping to one knee.
"Rise!"
The dignified voice rang out. Li Fei stood up and respectfully looked at the golden-haired man above him. So this is Sealed Room Douluo Qian Xunji? He's quite handsome, but I didn't expect him to do something so vile.
"You are Li Fei? I've heard Xue Er mention you."
"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope!"
"Show me your Spirit Ring."
Without hesitation, Li Fei released his pale purple Spirit Ring. It encircled his body and gave off a faint glow.
Though he had already heard She Long's report, Qian Xunji still revealed a trace of surprise. However, it quickly vanished, and he regained his calm.
"So it really is a Thousand Year First Ring!" Qian Xunji showed a look of realization, then asked sternly, "Li Fei, tell me—are you confident that Xue Er can withstand a Thousand Year First Ring like you did?!"
As the inheritor of the Angel Martial Soul, Qian Xunji knew that beneath Spirit Hall headquarters lay the God Position inheritance of the Angel God. His talent was good, but it did not meet the Angel God's requirements.
But his daughter Qian Renxue was different. With an unprecedented innate Soul Power of level twenty, if she could also begin with a Thousand Year First Ring, she would surely receive the Angel God's response and successfully inherit the Angel God Position.
At that time, he would benefit as well. Qian Renxue could bring him to the Divine Realm to become a god. That was also why he had forced himself upon Bibi Dong back then: to obtain an extraordinarily talented child. Clearly, he had succeeded.
"If Your Highness truly has innate Soul Power at level twenty as she said, I can guarantee that within one year, Your Highness will obtain a Thousand Year First Ring!"
"Very good! Over this next year, all of Spirit Hall's cultivation resources will be at your disposal. Whether it is medicine or the Simulated Training Environment, your demands will be met. But I hope to see Xue Er's Thousand Year First Ring a year from now!"
"Understood! Li Fei will ensure that Your Highness possesses a Thousand Year First Ring within one year!"
Seeing Li Fei give his assurance, Qian Xunji nodded in satisfaction. He touched the belt at his waist, and a golden token appeared in his hand. With a light toss, the token slowly flew before Li Fei.
"This is the Papal Token! If you need anything, you may use it to claim it!"
"Many thanks, Your Holiness!" Li Fei said gratefully.
"Elder She Long, take him to Xue Er. I needn't say the rest, right?" Qian Xunji turned to She Long.
"By your command!" She Long nodded, then lowered his head to glance at Li Fei. "Let's go, kid!"
Li Fei hurriedly caught the token and followed She Long toward the rear of the cathedral.
"Kid! I think highly of you, so let me give you a warning. Don't think about what you shouldn't. Do your own job honestly, and only then will you survive!"
As they walked, She Long suddenly spoke.
"I understand!"
Li Fei naturally understood that She Long was warning him not to involve himself in Qian Renxue's affairs and not to develop feelings for her. Otherwise, with Qian Xunji's temperament, he would absolutely kill Li Fei's entire family, sever Qian Renxue's emotions, and make her focus solely on cultivation.
Qian Xunji was absolutely capable of such a thing. He was a man who could even rape his own disciple, much less deal with a mere Li Family!
After that, She Long introduced Li Fei to the various buildings and facilities of Spirit Hall. Of them all, what interested him most were the library and the Simulated Training Environment.
