Douluo Continent: Long Live the Spirit Hall

Yan looked calmly at the sea god before him and continued, "You seem unable to do it. Although the Asura God has a good relationship with you, he wouldn't bend the law for personal gain in obvious matters. Gods are not allowed to interfere in the mortal realm, and my actions don't count as blasphemy."

"You... what do you know, you brat..." The Sea God was furious at Yan's words, but there was nothing he could do. The main reason was that his main body in the God Realm was very unhappy but there was nothing he could do, since this kid in front of him had powerful backing.

If an ordinary person were to pull this stunt, given Poseidon's petty nature, he would be happy if he didn't completely destroy the other party.

But there's really nothing he can do about this kid without breaking the rules, since those guys like the Angel God and the God of Light have been quite active in the God Realm lately.

Yan stared at the somewhat exasperated Sea God before him and said in a deep voice, "I do not know too much about the God Realm, but I know what you want. You are bound by your current divine position and want to inherit the divine position and transcend the God Realm. I can help you find a suitable successor."

"Boy, do you know what you're saying?" The slight impatience on the sea god's face vanished instantly, and his divine sense became much more solid. If there was anything he had been most concerned about in recent years, it was undoubtedly finding a suitable successor to the divine position.

As one of the strongest beings in the divine realm, Poseidon possesses the divine artifact, the Trident of Poseidon, and thus has the potential to become a god-king.

However, perhaps due to some flaws in the path to godhood he chose, he was unable to complete his ascension in the realm of gods.

Having made no progress in his cultivation over the years, the Sea God was growing impatient in the God Realm. Now, he was focused solely on inheriting the divine position and then transcending the God Realm to pursue even higher levels.

However, due to the difficulty in passing on the position of the Sea God and the high requirements for the successor, coupled with the fact that gods are not allowed to easily interfere with the mortal realm, a suitable candidate has not been found for many years.

He had actually noticed the moment Yan obtained the Heart of the Sea God long ago, and Yan himself had already come into his sight.

The changes in the situation of the angel gods in the divine realm in recent years all originated from the mortal realm. To be more precise, the instigator of all the changes in the divine realm is this kid in front of us. The Goddess of Light even said that he has wisdom that surpasses that of the gods.

He had paid attention to this young man before and was well aware of his talent and potential. Although the attributes did not match his own divine position, the suitability of the divine position inheritance was more about the soul and body, while attributes were not really that important.

The moment he was awakened, he had the idea of ​​using the power of the Vast Ocean to cleanse Yan's body, making it a fait accompli, so that the Angel God, the God of Light, and their group wouldn't be able to say anything.

But to his surprise, Yan seemed to have been prepared all along. After using a wisp of spiritual power to draw upon the power of the Vast Ocean, he immediately severed the connection, giving Yan no chance to do anything.

Although he was very annoyed that this kid had tricked him, the sea god couldn't help but be tempted when he heard him talk about the succession to the divine throne. He desperately needed a successor to take his place.

Yan glanced at the silent Sea God and continued, "The power of the Vast Ocean, to put it simply, is still related to the water attribute. I possess a treasure that can help someone transform into the ultimate form of water. As long as that person's foundation is strong enough, they should be able to meet your requirements." The Sea God's voice suddenly became majestic.

“Boy, don’t underestimate the succession to the divine throne. If it were that easy, we gods wouldn’t have to go through so much trouble to choose the right person.” Yan was silent for a moment, then spoke again: “If the person I choose is not good enough, I can just inherit your divine throne myself. And my requirements are very simple. During the time I am acting as your messenger and selecting a successor for you, I need the people of Seagod Island to obey my orders and help me.”

"Deal. I hope you won't disappoint me." The Sea God seemed to have considered it for a long time, and finally, the Heart of the Sea God flickered before he agreed to Yan's conditions.

For the sea god, the most important thing now is to find a suitable candidate to inherit the divine position; everything else can be discussed.

Yan helped him choose a successor. If he succeeded, it would be gratifying. If he failed, there would still be this kid in front of him as a backup. He didn't have much confidence in the other Sea Gods, but after just one test, he was certain that this kid could bear his power of the Vast Ocean, and that was enough.

"Then, it's a pleasure to cooperate." Yan said softly. As the illusory figure nodded slightly, blue light bloomed, and the sea god's divine sense disappeared from the spot. The blue triangle seemed to come alive, with a hazy, precious light flowing around it. The water-like blue light rippled and undulated in the room, and strange patterns appeared on its surface.

Yan slightly extended his palm, and the blue light grew stronger and stronger. In the shimmering light, the azure triangle slowly floated up from his palm, only stopping when it reached him, and then began to slowly rotate uncontrollably.

"Come back." Yan observed the activated Heart of the Sea God in its suspended state. After testing for a long time and obtaining enough data, he closed his palm and gently called out. The Heart of the Sea God seemed to have a spirit and fell back into his palm.

“With the Sea God issue resolved, even if Poseidon still has problems, we can find a way to suppress her. The only remaining issue is the City of Slaughter. The God of Asura is not an easy person to talk to.” After retrieving the Heart of the Sea God, Yan lay back in his chair, gazing at a corner of the room, in the direction of the City of Slaughter, where the legacy of a god still resides, an even more troublesome figure.

The enforcer of the divine realm, the God of Asura. ... At the center of countless planes of the universe, in the core of infinite dimensions, in the fantastical divine realm filled with divine light, Poseidon, the sea god, transformed into a giant god, sullenly drank his wine.

"Poseidon, what's wrong with you?" A figure of a blood-red giant arrived at the temple of the sea god. The armor covered with blood-red demonic patterns seemed to be filled with the screams of countless living beings. This powerful figure, who ranked high in the divine realm, was the enforcer of the divine realm, the God of Asura.

Poseidon said rather displeasedly, "Shura, I don't believe you haven't heard that I, the god, was actually tricked by a mortal. Did those angels and light guys really go to such lengths to block my temple for a mortal?"

"You've finally met your match, kid. But those guys, the God of Light and the Angel God, have really gone too far these past few years. But now that good and evil are supporting them, there's nothing I can do." The God of Asura took the wine cup from the Sea God's side and drank it all in one gulp.

“One of my chosen successors was snatched away by Rakshasa. Did I say anything?”

"Tch, is your method of casting a wide net what you call choosing a successor?" The Sea God scoffed upon hearing this, but seeing the Asura God's displeasure, he quickly changed the subject.

"Let's not talk about that anymore, but some of the information my divine sense transmitted from that Douluo plane is quite interesting. That kid who tricked me seems to have his eye on your Slaughter City."

"Are you telling the truth?" The God of Asura was visibly taken aback when he heard the news, then a strange smile appeared on his lips.

"If that kid is going, then I'll have to keep a close eye on him."

Chapter 329 Hu Liena's Fifth Soul Ring

"Finally back, Spirit City." Outside Spirit City, a carriage bearing the emblem of the Holy Temple slowly passed through the western city gate. As the carriage traveled through the street, the curtains were slightly lifted, and Yan looked at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar streets around him, a sense of joy welling up in his heart.

After being away from their Spirit City for so long, he has finally returned.

"Chenxiang, give the order to have the carriage go to the Central Cathedral first." Yan glanced at the somewhat unfamiliar streets around him. He had been in charge of the city's planning in recent years, but it had been quite a while since he had returned to Wuhun City, so it felt a bit unfamiliar. He lowered the curtain and whispered the order to the girl beside him who was massaging him.

"Yes, Holy Son." Bai Chenxiang showed no aloofness or arrogance when facing Yan. She was gentle, lovely, and obedient. Although the girl in front of him had an average figure, she had long legs and a slender waist. With some difficult movements, she was indeed... cough cough... Yan thought of certain scenes and couldn't help but glance ahead. Bai Chenxiang, who was talking to the coachman in front of him, seemed to have also felt the Holy Son's gaze. Her little face turned slightly red, and the atmosphere in the carriage became a little ambiguous.

The Central Cathedral of Wuhun City is a landmark building located in Wuhun City. It faces Wuhun Mountain, where important buildings such as the Douluo Hall, the Pope's Hall, and the Elder Hall are located. It is a must-see attraction for countless believers who come to Wuhun City.

The bishop of the central cathedral was a woman in her thirties, which many believers found incredible when they first came to the church. However, when they personally met the beautiful woman who gently healed every believer, everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of goodwill towards her.

"Sister Liya looks very busy." After the carriage of the Martial Soul Temple of Heaven Dou City stopped outside the central cathedral, Yan saw his older sister whom he hadn't seen for a long time through the gap in the curtains.

So many years have passed, but this woman is still so young and beautiful, with the appearance of a twenty-year-old and the figure and temperament of a thirty-year-old. When she performed healing magic in the cathedral, she seemed to be radiating a holy glow, just like a goddess descending to earth.

"Holy Son, it seems that bishop is coming over." Yan was reminiscing about the past when Bai Chenxiang suddenly nudged him. Only then did he notice that Liya's figure was actually heading this way.

As usual, Bishop Lia of the cathedral was leading the nuns and priests in blessing the believers who came to the door when she suddenly noticed a carriage from the Martial Soul Temple of Heaven Dou City parked by the roadside, as if someone inside was observing them.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered her long-lost, wicked younger brother, the one she had raised since childhood, the one she had always worried about, her only man.

It's said he's been in Tiandou City lately; I wonder if he's alright. Perhaps with something on her mind, she strolled over to the carriage, intending to ask the people inside if they knew anything about the Holy Son's situation.

However, the unexpected surprise came so suddenly. Just as she walked to the carriage, the door suddenly opened, and a familiar face came into view.

"Xiao Yan, you, you're back." Liya looked at the face in front of her that she had longed for and dreamed of for so long, and she covered her mouth in disbelief, with tears of joy welling up in her eyes.

"Who told you to cry? I told you, you're not allowed to cry when you see me." Before Liya could react, she was pulled into the carriage, falling into that familiar embrace and hearing those familiar sweet words again.

"Chenxiang, come and drive the carriage. Number 36, Wuhun Street. I just told you how to get there." Yan's voice reached Bai Chenxiang's ears. The blushing girl nodded hurriedly, got out of the carriage, closed the door, and drove the carriage towards the house closest to Yan.

"Xiao Yan, sob sob..." The older sister's struggle came from inside the carriage, but it was quickly replaced by another intense sound. Bai Chenxiang quickly used her soul power to lock the sound, and then drove the carriage into a courtyard and went straight into the room.

……

"Xiao Yan, you probably won't be going out for quite a while now that you're back." Inside the master bedroom of house number 36 on Wuhun Street, Yan was lying on the bed with his voluptuous older sister in his arms. Liya, whose temples and hair were pressed against her delicate face, had a dreamy look in her eyes and spoke with a hint of coquetry and expectation in her tone.

"Good sister, do you want it again?" Yan teased her with a chuckle. Just as the two were preparing for another round, a slight noise suddenly came from the hallway outside the room.

"Brother Xiaoyan... Ah..." Suddenly the door was pushed open from the outside. The girl, who was about to give him a surprise, was startled by the scene in front of her. Bai Chenxiang, who came over without stopping her, was more composed than the girl, probably because he had some experience in recent days. He quickly pulled the girl away and closed the door.

"Nana's here, I'll go see her first." Yan gently kissed Liya's forehead, then placed the somewhat shy older sister on the bed, and put on a bathrobe before going out.

In the hallway outside the master bedroom, when Yan came out, Hu Liena's face was still slightly flushed. She said shyly, "Brother Yan, how come you and Sister Liya... you did that in broad daylight..."

"Nana, why is your face so red..." Yan stepped forward but did not answer her question. Instead, he tasted the little beauty's lips first, then embraced the two beauties on his left and right and led them out of the master bedroom and towards the training room.

Although Bai Chenxiang, a beautiful young woman, had been by his side these past few days, Tang San's little cousin was even younger than a certain chicken. Yan could only use her hands and mouth at most, and that was it. So, as soon as she returned, she immediately started having passionate encounters with her older sister.

Now that they've had several rounds of intimate exchanges, he's entered a semi-wise state. Although he still has some thoughts about it, he's not in a hurry for the time being.

"Nana, you haven't acquired your fifth spirit ring yet, have you?" Yan led Hu Liena into the training room. The room was spacious and contained some special equipment and small simulation arrays. Cultivating here was much faster than outside.

This room is the most valuable item in the entire house.

"Yes, Brother Yan, do you have any good suggestions?" Hu Liena nodded after hearing Yan's question. In recent years, not only has Yan's strength improved rapidly, but Hu Liena and Xie Yue have also made great progress.

In the original story, they didn't obtain their fifth spirit ring until two or three years later, just before the Elite Tournament, barely breaking through to the Spirit King level.

But now Hu Liena has broken through to Soul King several years ahead of schedule. By the time of the Elite Tournament, even if she can't break through to Soul Emperor, she can still reach the level of a high-level Soul King.

If they had that level of cultivation in the original story, Tang San would have had almost no chance of winning.

“I have a ten-thousand-year-old spirit-type soul beast that should be very suitable for you, but it’s not purely spirit-type.” Yan said after thinking for a moment. As he spoke, he tapped his belt, and rays of light intertwined on his body. The battle armor with gold and silver light was completed. He raised his hand again, and a circle of purple light appeared in the sky above the room. The huge flying dragon mecha appeared between illusion and reality.

Yan snapped his fingers lightly, and a strange soul beast appeared in front of Hu Liena and Bai Chenxiang.

This soul beast was quite ugly, resembling a giant eye with several strangely colored tentacles, making it look extremely bizarre and evil.

The soul beast that appeared before Hu Liena and Bai Chenxiang was none other than the Ten-Thousand-Year Fire Evil King, one of the two Evil Eyes that Yan had captured in the Demon Forest of the New Continent.

The soul beasts of the Evil Eye Clan all possess mental attributes and have powerful mental-type soul skills. As for other attribute skills, they are mostly a combination of mental attributes, just like the fiery red wave that attacked Yan back then, which was not a simple elemental attack.

Hu Liena's demon fox spirit possesses the charm attribute and she inherently has a talent in the mental type. Later, at Yan's suggestion, she developed in the direction of a mental type soul master. Now her mental attribute is already very strong, and she needs even more powerful mental soul skills.

Although the evil eye that Yan obtained was not purely mental, it still met the requirements for being absorbed by Hu Liena.

Although her path was similar to Huo Yuhao's, she couldn't completely copy that overpowered guy's experience. Huo Yuhao possessed a Spirit Eye Martial Soul, with naturally strong mental attributes, making him best suited for pure mental attribute soul skills.

Hu Liena, on the other hand, possesses a demon fox spirit, but she has advanced from the charm attribute to develop the mental attribute. While developing the mental attribute alone is not bad, it is somewhat of a waste of her beast spirit talent.

"Brother Xiao Yan, I believe you won't harm me, and this soul beast is indeed very powerful." Hu Liena didn't hesitate for long before deciding to follow Yan's advice and absorb the Evil Eye in front of her as her fifth soul ring. Then, she took Yan's dark gold dagger and came to the trembling Evil Eye, which was only a little bit of life left, and delivered the final blow.

"Ah..." A death scream echoed in the room. With Hu Liena's attack, the ten-thousand-year-old Fire Demon Tyrant finally perished. Its huge eyeball gradually cracked open, and a mental crystal core appeared in front of the group.

A faint black light began to condense, and wisps of soul power flowed around it. Soon, a pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul ring appeared on the corpse of the Evil Eye.

Hu Liena calmly sat down and meditated for a moment. Then, she used her own soul power to activate the soul ring. With a flash of black light, she had completed the spirit possession. Next to the four soul rings, yellow and purple, a phantom black light was gradually solidifying.

“Damn humans, Father would never…” Just as Hu Liena was absorbing and refining the soul ring of the Ten-Thousand-Year Evil Eye, a mental wave full of resentment emanated from Yan’s flying dragon mech. Unfortunately, it was suppressed again before he could say more than a few words.

"I'll be waiting for you soon, no need to rush." ​​Yan muttered to himself, already looking forward to the soul ring and soul bone of the 100,000-year-old Fire Evil Tyrant, which would be a transformation for him as well.

Chapter 330 Regarding the Handling of Tang San

Inside the Papal Palace of Wuhun City, in the council chamber, Yan sat alone in the vast hall, which spanned over a thousand square meters. A long table before him was set with fragrant tea and various pastries.

He didn't have to wait long before the three-meter-high archway opened, and a soft voice sounded from outside.

"You all stay outside and wait. No one is allowed to disturb us without my order."

"Yes." The voice of the palace guard came from outside the archway. After hearing the noise, Yan looked towards the direction of the council hall door.

Wearing a magnificent black robe adorned with gold trim, a nine-curved purple-gold crown, and holding a jeweled scepter, Her Holiness the Pope's attire was exceptionally formal today, which accentuated her unique beauty.

Her fair skin and near-perfect features made her stand out from the crowd. It was the intangible nobility and sanctity she exuded that inspired both awe and a slight desire to destroy.

They're all men, aren't they? Bibi Dong stopped after entering the gate. Yan smiled and looked at her. Their eyes met in mid-air, but no sparks flew.

"You're back." A rare tenderness appeared on Bibi Dong's face, and her gentle and pleasant voice easily gave people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.

Yan nodded and smiled, "I'm back. I've already scouted the route and established a base in the New World. The nautical charts and some intelligence have been sent to the Papal Palace office. You should have seen them by now." Bibi Dong's face showed a complex emotion. She put down her scepter, walked over to sit beside him, and sighed, "Don't bring up these things as soon as you get back, okay? I really don't understand why you had to go there yourself. You are the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall; you shouldn't have taken such a risk."

“As the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, I should do what I’m supposed to do within my capabilities, instead of constantly ordering others around,” Yan replied, then handed her a cup of hot tea and naturally took her hand.

“I used to be unable to protect myself, so I always needed other people to protect me, but now, I guess I can barely be considered to have that protection.”

“You…” Bibi Dong’s eyes became much more complicated. She understood some of the meaning in Yan’s words, but she didn’t know how to say it or in what capacity she should say it. Teacher?

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Still no news from Tang Hao? What about the Haotian Sect? Is there any unusual activity?" Yan naturally sensed Bibi Dong's complex emotions, but he didn't intend to try to understand them. It was good for the two of them to maintain their current relationship. Trying to figure things out too much would only make the woman in front of him back down, since their relationship was too complicated.

Bibi Dong shook her head.

"There's still no news about Tang Hao. He's probably hiding somewhere to heal his injuries. As for the Clear Sky Sect, there's still no sign of them coming out of seclusion, but their strength is expanding rather quickly. We underestimated those old guys; I didn't expect that several of them would actually break through to the Title Douluo level."
