The Domain Lord's Renown

After returning to her quarters, Qian Renxue sat cross-legged on the bed and began stabilizing her cultivation.

The power of a Dou Zong was a peculiar experience for Qian Renxue.

Back on Douluo Continent, the strongest person she had ever encountered was her grandfather, Qian Daoliu.

Now, by her estimation, her grandfather probably couldn't withstand a single move from her.

Yet this realm, which had reached the divine level on Douluo Continent, was merely the dividing line at which cultivators on the Dou Qi Continent entered the ranks of the strong.

She didn't dare imagine what it would be like when she reached the level of a Dou Sheng or Dou Di.

A day passed.

Hun Tiandi then took Qian Renxue straight to the Northwest Continent.

Qian Renxue still had some impression of the northwest region.

She remembered that Senior Brother Xiao Yan came from the Northwest Continent, from a place called the Jia Ma Empire.

Hun Tiandi, meanwhile, planned to set up five large Conversion Spirit Arrays, one in each of the five regions of the Dou Qi Continent: east, south, west, north, and center.

In the end, he would use the five subsidiary arrays to link the entire Dou Qi Continent together and convert Dou Qi into Spiritual Energy.

The Northwest Continent contained a cave dwelling left behind by Tou She Ancient God. The power of heaven and earth it held made it the perfect choice for the first array core.

Jia Nan Academy.

This academy, originally founded by Mang Tianchi, had become the center of power on the Northwest Continent in a very short time after the Endless Soul Domain took it over.

The Northwest Continent's finest prodigies and its most abundant cultivation resources gathered here.

Thus, Jia Nan Academy naturally became a sacred land of cultivation that countless cultivators fought tooth and nail to enter.

The Inner Academy's Strong Ranking Competition was currently underway at Jia Nan Academy.

At that moment, Xiao Ding, dean of the Inner Academy, was behind the scenes preparing for the upcoming finals ceremony.

The sudden appearance of Hun Tiandi and Qian Renxue startled him.

Xiao Ding came to his senses and took a closer look at the visitor. It was Little Yanzi's master!

He hurried to his feet and bowed with the utmost respect. "Greetings, Senior!"

Hun Tiandi smiled and waved a hand. "There's no need for such formalities."

His gaze then fell on Xiao Ding, and he saw the man's current cultivation at a glance.

After Xiao Yan advanced to Dou Di, the Xiao Clan's Dou Di Bloodline had reappeared. Thanks to Xiao Yan, Xiao Ding had now stepped into the Dou Sheng realm as well.

Aside from the elders the Endless Soul Domain had stationed here, he could be considered the strongest without question.

Xiao Ding also noticed Qian Renxue following beside Hun Tiandi.

"And this is?"

Qian Renxue immediately replied, "I am Qian Renxue, Senior."

Then she glanced at Hun Tiandi beside her. "I'm Master's disciple."

At that, a storm of shock surged through Xiao Ding's heart.

Senior Hun Tiandi had only ever had one disciple, Little Yanzi.

And now he had actually taken another disciple?!

With that status, Xiao Ding didn't dare underestimate Qian Renxue in the slightest, even though she was only a Dou Zong.

After all, how could someone Senior valued be an ordinary person?

Xiao Ding then gave her a warm smile. "So you're Senior's disciple."

"That makes you Little Yanzi's junior sister."

"You don't need to call me Senior. My name is Xiao Ding, and I'm Xiao Yan's eldest brother."

"If you don't mind, just call me Big Brother Xiao."

So he's Senior Brother Xiao Yan's eldest brother, Qian Renxue thought.

Looking closely, the man before her really did bear some resemblance to Senior Brother Xiao Yan.

But compared with Senior Brother Xiao Yan, Xiao Ding gave her the impression of someone solid and steady.

Qian Renxue then said, "Big Brother Xiao."

Xiao Ding couldn't help laughing heartily.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hun Tiandi got down to business.

He first gave Xiao Ding the simplified version of the Spiritual Energy Conversion Method, then told him about the Conversion Spirit Array.

"Xiao Ding, I've come to Jia Nan Academy this time to give you a task."

"Spread this Spiritual Energy Conversion Method throughout the Northwest Continent within five years."

Although Xiao Ding didn't know what these things were,

he knew full well that anything requiring Senior to come and handle it personally could not be a minor matter.

So, after accepting the assignment, he quickly passed down the orders.

Once that was done, Xiao Ding seemed to recall something and hurriedly said,

"Oh, right, Senior, the finals of Jia Nan Academy's Inner Academy Strong Ranking Competition happen to be today."

"Why don't you preside over the finals ceremony, Senior?"

Xiao Ding smiled. "If you're willing to appear, Senior, this year's finals are sure to go down in history!"

Hun Tiandi thought it over and decided it would be fine, so he agreed.

He also wanted to see what level the strongest prodigies on the Northwest Continent had reached.

Almost everyone in Jia Nan Academy had gathered at the martial arena, waiting for the upcoming Strong Ranking finals.

When Hun Tiandi appeared at the finals, the entire crowd erupted.

As students of Jia Nan Academy, they had never seen Hun Tiandi in person.

But there was a statue of Hun Tiandi in the academy.

So, as soon as he appeared, the sharp-eyed among them recognized him at a glance.

Only then did the people around them belatedly realize that the man before them was the Domain Lord of the Endless Soul Domain, the Soul Emperor Hun Tiandi!

"It's Lord Domain Lord!"

"Heavens! It really is him!"

"I'm not dreaming, am I? Lord Domain Lord actually came to the Strong Ranking Competition in person?!"

"Lord Domain Lord is so handsome! I want to have his babies!!!"

"We pay our respects to Lord Domain Lord!"

No one knew who shouted first, but in an instant, ten thousand people bowed, their voices shaking the land in every direction: "Greetings, Lord Domain Lord!"

The sight was so magnificent that even Qian Renxue, who considered herself well acquainted with the world, couldn't help being moved.

As far as she knew, the Northwest Continent was incredibly far from the Endless Soul Domain in the Central Plains.

Even a Dou Sheng Expert would need some time to travel directly from the Central Plains.

Yet the people here knew Hun Tiandi very well and held him in the highest esteem.

She had never imagined that one person's prestige could be so great.

Even Spirit Hall on Douluo Continent probably didn't have one percent of Master's influence, did it?

If the people of Douluo Continent saw such a scene, it would make their jaws hit the floor.

[Ning Fengzhi: He truly is the overlord of a region. That kind of reception really isn't something an ordinary person could command!]

[Star Luo Emperor Dai Tianfeng: As emperor of the Star Luo Empire, even I cannot count on my people to be so fervent when I travel. Just what has this Domain Lord of the Endless Soul Domain done?]

Qian Daoliu looked at the scene before him and couldn't help sighing. "Now that's the kind of reception a true lord of a realm should have!"

On Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall was unquestionably the most influential force.

Yet even so, whether it was Qian Daoliu himself or Pope Bibi Dong, it would be hard for either of them to inspire a scene like the one that greeted Hun Tiandi's arrival at Jia Nan Academy.

Though they were both among the strongest in the world, he believed Hun Tiandi would be revered by the masses wherever he went.

As for Qian Daoliu himself, if he went somewhere a little remote, probably no one would even recognize him.

Seen this way, the gap between them was plain as day.
