Yang Wudi's expression turned worried upon hearing this. "Those people from the Clear Sky Sect Clear Sky Sect has already created an enmity, and I'm afraid they won't let it go easily."
"Grandpa, you're right. The Clear Sky Sect has always been self-centered. In their eyes, our Breaking Clan and the Defense Clan are like servants. Sooner or later, there will be a war between the two sides. This is one of the reasons why I sought a way out for the Heavenly Pursuit Academy and formed an alliance with the Far North."
At this moment, Yang Wudi seemed somewhat conflicted. "But Podi, the Spirit Hall Empire is not so easy to deal with either, and the dangers in the future may be even greater."
Yang Podi thought for a long time before speaking, "Whether it's the Spirit Hall Empire or the two great empires, I don't really like either of them. But relatively speaking, the Spirit Hall Empire is much better for ordinary people than the Upper Three Sects and the two great empires. At least in the Spirit Hall Empire, ordinary Soul Master have a greater chance of rising up, while the two great empires and the Upper Three Sects are just maintaining their own rule."
"The biggest problem for the Spirit Hall Empire now is that as their strength has grown in recent decades, their ambitions have also grown, which has led to the continuous wars in recent years."
Grandpa Niu Gao then spoke up, " Podi, so what do you plan to do now? Are you really going to make us ally with the Spirit Hall Empire?"
Yang Podi shook his head slightly. "An alliance is impossible. At most, I can only offer them some assistance. Besides, in the Soul Master World, the real competition between us is simply about who becomes a god first."
Dugu Bo, standing to the side, spoke up again, "Becoming a god is far too elusive. Right now, besides you and Tianyue, is there anyone else in the entire world who has any hope of becoming a god?"
Yang Podi nodded. "Of course. The emperors of the Spirit Hall Empire, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, are both unparalleled cultivation prodigies. Bibi Dong Innate Full Soul Power and top-grade Twin Martial Souls; she is the Godly Trial of the Rakshasa God. Qian Renxue possesses Innate Soul Power at level twenty and the divine-level Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel. In terms of talent alone, she can be said to be Wushuang throughout the ages, and she herself is also the inheritor of the Angel God."
"Although Tang San doesn't have Godhood Inheritance yet, he Innate Full Soul Power and the Clear Sky Hammer, the number one Tool Martial Soul in the world. If he really reaches the Titled Douluo level and adds Soul Ring to the Clear Sky Hammer, his strength will be terrifying in the future. Moreover, he currently has the support of the Ferocious Beast Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest, so obtaining Godhood Inheritance is probably only a matter of time."
Upon hearing these words, everyone's expressions turned serious, even overshadowing their recent joy at their improved strength.
Yang Wudi finally spoke, " Podi, so what should we do now?"
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking, "Everyone should cultivate diligently and strive to improve their strength. In addition, the academy should be on high alert at all times. After I leave Heavenly Pursuit Academy, it would be best to have Titled Douluo patrol every day. If any danger is encountered, we should evacuate immediately. We'll discuss everything when I return."
Yang Wudi nodded. "Alright, let's do it that way. We old guys will take turns patrolling the entire Heavenly Pursuit Academy. We absolutely cannot let the enemy wipe us out in one fell swoop."
After discussing all the future plans for the Heavenly Pursuit Academy, Yang Podi left alone, as he needed to speed up his own Godly Trial.
After leaving Heavenly Pursuit Academy, Yang Podi flew directly to Spirit City.
In just half a day, Yang Podi had already arrived Spirit City. Looking at the towering Spirit City, especially the bustling and peaceful environment Spirit City, Yang Podi himself was a little envious.
Upon arriving at the gates of Spirit City, Yang Podi was stopped by the guards. "Who are you? Judging from your appearance, you're probably not Soul Master from Spirit City. Outsiders are currently prohibited from entering Spirit City."
Yang Podi glanced at the city gate guards and simply said, "Please go and inform Bibi Dong, the emperor of the Spirit Hall Empire, that Yang Podi has come to pay his respects."
Upon hearing Yang Podi call Bibi Dong name, the guards' expressions changed drastically. Their Soul Power flickered, as if they wanted to capture Yang Podi, who dared to defy the Spirit Hall Empire.
Yang Podi glanced at the crowd, and an immense killing intent enveloped them. All the guards felt a chill run down their spines, and they were even unable to use their Martial Soul and Soul Power.
After that one glance, Yang Podi withdrew his gaze and focused only on the Spirit Hall and Douluo Hall in the very center of Spirit City, ignoring the guards. The pressure on the guards immediately disappeared.
The leader of the guards was momentarily dazed, as if nothing had just happened, but his trembling hands and soul revealed the power of the person in front of him.
Just then, a majestic yet melodious female voice rang out from within the Spirit Hall: "We cordially invite Sky Support Douluo to visit our Spirit City."
As the woman's voice faded, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo quickly appeared at the city gate to greet her.
Chrysanthemum Douluo still spoke in that feminine voice, "Welcome Sky Support Douluo, to my Spirit City. His Majesty the Emperor requests your presence at the Pope's Palace."
"Let's go, please lead the way."
As Yang Podi finished speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo personally led the way, taking Yang Podi to the Pope's Palace.
The group didn't walk very fast, but Chrysanthemum Douluo suddenly spoke up, " Podi, you shouldn't have come to Spirit City. Haven't you been staying at Mount Aermo all this time? Coming to Spirit City wasn't a wise choice."
Yang Podi, however, remained calm. "Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo, there's no question of wisdom or unwiseness. I felt I should come, so I did. Besides, I'm not here to fight; I simply wanted to pay a visit to Seniors Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu."
Upon arriving at the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong Bibi Dong sat alone on the throne. She was dressed in golden armor and wore a golden crown. Her exquisite face and the golden armor that accentuated her perfect figure made her appear incredibly noble and dignified.
After Yang Podi arrived at the Pope's Palace, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo both turned and left, leaving Bibi Dong and Yang Podi at the scene.
Yang Podi bowed slightly. "Greetings, Your Majesty the Emperor. I never imagined that in such a short time, Your Majesty would become the Emperor of the entire Spirit Hall Empire."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly in return.
" Yang Podi, you surprise me even more. I never imagined that your strength would reach this level in such a short time. Even I can't fathom your true strength."
Yang Podi shook his head slightly. "Your Majesty flatters me. I am just an ordinary person, far from being as powerful and all-powerful as Your Majesty."
" Yang Podi, what brings you to Spirit City this time? You don't happen to want to spar with me, do you?"
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. I have only come to borrow a sword and have no intention of making enemies of the Spirit Hall Empire for the time being."
Bibi Dong's expression turned serious. "Borrow the sword? The Angel Holy Sword is the national treasure of my Spirit Hall Empire. How could it be easily given to outsiders? I advise you to give up on this little scheme."
Yang Podi looked at Bibi Dong's calm and composed face, and simply shook his head slightly. "There is nothing in this world that cannot be discussed. Since I have come to borrow the sword, I have naturally made some preparations. Besides, Your Majesty, do you intend to lend me the sword, or do you not intend to lend it to me?"
Bibi Dong smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Interesting. I didn't expect you to know so much at such a young age. You can't borrow the Angel Holy Sword of my Spirit Hall Empire with just an Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."
"That's right. Everything in the world is negotiable; it's just a matter of whether an agreement can be reached. Your Majesty, if you think my offer is too low, shouldn't you also make a price? Or perhaps you should first let me meet the true owner of this Angel Holy Sword?"
Bibi Dong's face darkened slightly. "I can make decisions on everything in the Spirit Hall Empire, even regarding the Angel Holy Sword."
"Let's not beat around the bush. It's best to discuss some things with the parties involved. Otherwise, if we reach an agreement but then encounter other problems, it'll be pointless."
Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Alright, let's go to the Douluo Hall Douluo Hall to communicate. You can also register your Soul Master title there."
Yang Podi couldn't help but chuckle, "Your Majesty, you've certainly calculated this well. If I accept the investiture from your Spirit Hall Empire, wouldn't I be risking the entire Heavenly Pursuit Academy? There would be no way to explain myself then."
Bibi Dong smiled and said, "That depends on your choice. Do you really want to borrow the sword, or do you have other intentions? The Angel Holy Sword is inside the Douluo Hall, and no one has the right to take it out."
Yang Podi looked at Bibi Dong Bibi Dong, who had a half-smile on her face. It seemed that Bibi Dong had a well-intentioned scheme. You should know that the Douluo Hall is the place of inheritance of the Spirit Hall Empire. There, Divine Power will be raised to its limit. Whether it is Qian Daoliu or Qian Renxue, their strength will probably be enhanced by an extremely terrifying amount.
Yang Podi thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, lead the way. I also want to meet Senior Qian Daoliu and Miss Qian Renxue, especially to see what Miss Qian Renxue looks like in women's clothing now."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression turned profound; she was completely baffled as to what Yang Podi was thinking.
Logically speaking, the Douluo Hall is the most sacred place in the Spirit Hall Empire and the true site of the Angel God's inheritance. No one would dare to venture there lightly unless they were a fool.
Especially Yang Podi, who gave Qian Renxue a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower through a trade back in the Heaven Dou Empire. It was this Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower that greatly increased Qian Renxue's strength.
Moreover, the battle between Yang Podi and Qian Daoliu started strong but ended weakly; the two seemed more like they were exchanging sparring blows than enemies.
Bibi Dong spoke in a sinister tone, " Yang Podi, I didn't expect you to want to see Xiao Xue. Did you already know about Xiao Xue's situation in Heaven Dou City?"
Yang Podi spoke meaningfully, "Although my strength is weak, I'm not so incapable of distinguishing between men and women. Miss Qian Renxue has always disguised herself as Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. I have communicated with Xue Qinghe many times, and anyone who isn't blind can discover something."
Bibi Dong's face darkened slightly, but she finally spoke, "Let's go. I've been wanting to see Xiao Xue for a while now. I'll go to the Douluo Hall with you myself."
After speaking, Bibi Dong gracefully stood up and prepared to head directly to the Douluo Hall.
Yang Podi watched Bibi Dong's retreating figure, sneered inwardly, and then followed behind Bibi Dong.
Yang Podi's words were mainly intended to test Bibi Dong. Given Bibi Dong's cunning and suspicious nature, it would be strange if she didn't have any suspicions.
