Yun Yi didn't say much while walking on the road. From the evasiveness in Bibi Dong's words, he could feel that Bibi Dong didn't want him to come into contact with the angel lineage. The reason was very simple. No one wanted the talents they carefully cultivated to stand against themselves. Although it might not be serious to this extent, before Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong resolved their misunderstanding, the people of the angel lineage were not considered her own people in Bibi Dong's eyes.
Thinking of this, Yun Yi looked at the two people beside him and chuckled, "It's still early, why are you following me? Go train quickly."
Hu Liena looked at Yun Yi unhappily and said, "If I let you train alone again, will this Spirit Hall Academy still be a good place?"
Yun Yi stroked Hu Liena's short golden hair and chuckled, "It's not as serious as you say. You and Zhu Qing can go without worry. My sister just told me to find some time to perfect my soul core and absorb the two soul bones. I will stay in my room for the next few days."
"Really?" Hu Liena raised her eyebrows and said in disbelief.
"Don't worry." Yun Yi smiled and gave Hu Liena and the others a reassuring look. Zhu Zhuqing didn't say much but just nodded slightly.
Then the two of them left slowly, and seeing this, Yun Yi also headed towards the direction of Wuhun City.
After returning to Hu Liena's Holy Maiden Temple, Yun Yi began to retreat, just as Guimei said, polishing and compressing every bit of soul power to reach the so-called smallest unit, making his soul core more perfect.
In the following days, Yun Yi felt the difficulty of this process. The soul power was constantly flowing in the body, and the soul core prototype that had already been formed increased the speed of the soul power's continuous flow in the body, making it quite difficult for Yun Yi to control it.
This is also the reason why Yun Yi has to go into seclusion. The process of perfecting the soul core should not be interrupted. Once it stops, the soul power that loses Yun Yi's restraint will gradually return to its original state.
Seeing Yun Yi meditating all day, the two thought that something had happened to Yun Yi again, and hurried to Bibi Dong to ask.
Bibi Dong also gave the two of them a corresponding explanation, "Soul cores are actually not something that Xiaoyi should be exposed to at this level. Nana, Zhuqing, you must understand that soul masters practice from the shallow to the deep. No matter how talented Xiaoyi is, when a soul emperor tries to deal with things at the soul douluo and titled douluo levels, the time spent will naturally become longer. Even I often experience this long period of meditation. Don't worry, there is no problem. In the meditative state, the soul master's consumption will become extremely small, and he will be fine."
After hearing this, the two of them felt relieved.
Bibi Dong looked at the two of them with emotion. Every time she saw these two children, Bibi Dong would always think of herself back then. She had also asked her teacher about her lover's problems and looked through all the information in the Spirit Hall.
Whenever Bibi Dong thought of this, her hatred towards the angels became more intense.
Noticing Bibi Dong's sudden sharp look, Hu Liena asked in confusion, "Teacher, what's wrong with you?"
Bibi Dong came back to her senses and relaxed her expression. She forced a smile and shook her head slightly, saying, "Maybe there are too many things to do these two days, and the teacher is a little tired."
"Then you should have a good rest. Zhuqing and I will not disturb you anymore." Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing also bowed to Bibi Dong and took their leave.
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, and then the two of them slowly left the Pope's Palace. After they left, Bibi Dong could no longer suppress the hatred in her heart, and she clenched the paper documents on the table with her fists. The soul power of the Titled Douluo suddenly erupted, and the paper documents on the table were instantly blown away by the powerful momentum.
Papers kept falling throughout the hall, but no matter how much they vented, the past could not be changed.
"Call the Ghost Elder." Bibi Dong used her powerful mental power to issue an order to the palace guards.
Not long after, when Guimei saw the scene in the hall, he didn't say much and silently began to pick up the scattered papers. He understood that Bibi Dong was thinking about those things in the past again, and this could be regarded as Bibi Dong venting her dissatisfaction with him and Yue Guan.
He did not use his own soul power, nor did he exert the speed that belonged to his title. He just bent over slightly in silence and picked up one sheet after another.
Bibi Dong sneered at this and said, "Are you pretending to be pitiful?"
Gui Mei shook his head slightly and said, "This is what Yue Guan and I owe you."
Guimei did not address Bibi Dong as "Your Majesty" as usual, because he knew that the woman standing not far in front of him was the original Bibi Dong.
It is said that a new emperor appoints new ministers. The reason why he and Yue Guan can still stay in the Pope's Palace is of course not only because of their strength, but also because they know everything about Bibi Dong's past and even participated in many things in the past. When Bibi Dong thinks of these past events, they will become Bibi Dong's punching bags.
Of course, they can also help Bibi Dong deal with many things, such as cleaning up the mess that cannot be known to outsiders. If Bibi Dong is the emperor, they are more like attendants who grew up with the emperor.
"So you are feeling sorry for me?" Bibi Dong looked at Guimei with sharp eyes.
The ghost shook his head, "We had no choice at the beginning, just like you."
While the two were talking, Guimei had already collected all the documents scattered on the ground. Guimei bent slightly and placed the documents back on Bibi Dong's desk.
"Remember you asked me a few days ago what Yun Yi was still lacking." Guimei looked at Bibi Dong and said calmly.
Bibi Dong looked at Gui Mei without saying anything, and only heard Gui Mei continue, "Aren't the issues you are worried about the same as those that the previous pope was worried about?"
"How dare you!" Bibi Dong's sharp gaze instantly locked onto the ghost, and a powerful aura gushed out from Bibi Dong's body.
Guimei felt Bibi Dong's strong murderous intent, but he didn't care. He just bowed slightly towards Bibi Dong. Having followed Bibi Dong for so many years, he still had a good understanding of Bibi Dong.
The powerful aura dissipated and Bibi Dong looked at Guimei with a complicated expression. Indeed, her affairs with the angel lineage had to come to an end eventually, and she naturally did not want Yun Yi to stand on the side of the angel lineage.
"Go down, Ghost Elder." Bibi Dong said in a flat voice.
"Yes." The ghost slowly stood up, turned around and left.
When Gui Mei was about to step out of the hall, Bibi Dong's voice reached Gui Mei's ears again, "You contact the Worship Hall. After Xiao Yi completes his soul core, let him go to the Worship Hall. I want to see what he will choose."
The ghostly footsteps paused slightly, and then he slowly left the Pope's Palace. To be honest, he also wanted to know what Yun Yi would choose if there was a conflict between the Pope's lineage of Bibi Dong and the angel lineage in the future. This was also completely opposite to Qian Xunji's original approach.
A few days later, Guimei came to the worship hall with all the information about Yun Yi.
Looking at the blond man in front of the huge angel statue, the ghost bowed slightly, "Great offering."
Qian Daoliu slowly opened his eyes, his calm eyes were full of emotion, he sighed, "I didn't expect that the little ghost back then would now have the strength of level ninety-six." "They were all cultivated in the palace." Guimei said respectfully.
Qian Daoliu naturally heard the deep meaning in Guimei's words. He slowly turned around, looked at Guimei, and said lightly, "You don't offend either side."
Gui Mei couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard this. Qian Dao Liu naturally understood the difficulties of Gui Mei and Yue Guan, so he didn't make things difficult for Gui Mei. He directly said to Gui Mei, "Tell me, what did you say to Bibi Dong this time?"
Gui Mei took out the prepared information, bowed slightly and said, "Please take a look."
Qian Daoliu raised his hand slightly, and all the information in Guimei's hand fell into Qian Daoliu's hand. Looking at the information prepared by Guimei, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but reveal a strange look in his eyes. It was not only about Yun Yi's talent, but more about the fact that most of Yun Yi's experiences in Tiandou were related to his granddaughter.
"His Holiness the Pope wants you and the other priests to train this child." The ghost said respectfully.
"Help Bibi Dong train talents and then go against us?" Qian Daoliu glanced at Guimei and said.
Guimei didn't say anything. This was not something he could continue. Seeing that Guimei didn't say anything, Qian Daoliu continued, "You are quite smart, little ghost. You even pointed out the relationship between this child and Xue'er."
Gui Mei slightly raised his head and looked at Qian Daoliu seriously, "Great Priest, this child might be an opportunity."
Qian Daoliu's calm eyes revealed a thoughtful look when he heard this. Although Yun Yi was Bibi Dong's man, it was indeed as Guimei said. This child might be an opportunity, an opportunity for the angels and the Pope to communicate.
"I understand." Qian Daoliu said lightly.
The ghost was delighted when he heard this. Since Qian Daoliu did not object, he agreed. He bowed slightly to Qian Daoliu and said, "Thank you for your help, great priest."
Qian Daoliu did not say anything, but turned around slowly, looked at the huge angel statue with a pious expression, closed his eyes, and slowly muttered.
The ghosts also bent their bodies and slowly left the worship hall.
After receiving the exact news, Guimei immediately came to the Pope's Palace to report.
Bibi Dong raised her head slightly, looking at Gui Mei's expression, Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did the old guy agree?"
A trace of cold sweat appeared on Guimei's forehead. In the entire Spirit Hall, only Bibi Dong dared to call Qian Daoliu like that. With Qian Daoliu's cultivation level, perhaps he would know whatever Bibi Dong said.
Gui Mei quickly corrected the address, bowed slightly and said, "Yes, the chief priest has no objection."
Now that the matter was done, seeing Gui Mei's embarrassment, Bibi Dong didn't want to embarrass Gui Mei anymore or say anything unpleasant to her. She nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Elder Gui, go down."
The ghost who heard this felt as if he had been pardoned, and hurriedly left the Pope's Palace. If he stayed any longer, he didn't know how many bad things Bibi Dong would say about him, and he didn't dare to accept it. Running away would be the best thing to do.
Time passed quickly, and in a month, Yun Yi perfected his soul core and absorbed the soul bone at the same time. The two powerful soul bones directly increased Yun Yi's soul power level by four levels, and he was only one step away from the Soul Saint level.
“It is unlikely that my physical strength, mental strength and soul power will improve again in a short period of time. The only thing that still has room for improvement is my second martial soul. It will be difficult to pass Bibi Dong.” Yun Yi murmured in his heart.
The advice Bibi Dong gave at the beginning was undoubtedly very effective. Yun Yi did learn a lot from Guimei, but Bibi Dong did not expect Yun Yi to learn so quickly. After learning everything from Guimei, Yun Yi had no plans to look for other titles.
It's not that Yun Yi looked down on those titles in their early nineties. Yun Yi just thought that only those with titles like Jue Gui, who didn't have much room for breakthrough, could learn more. The priests in the Temple of Worship all belonged to this category. They had extremely high levels of soul power and didn't have much room for improvement in cultivation. Naturally, they would have more skills. Otherwise, wouldn't it be boring to live to such an old age without finding something to do?
Just when Yun Yi was thinking about how to convince Bibi Dong to let him go to the Worship Hall to study, Guimei came to Hu Liena's Holy Maiden Hall.
"Senior Gui, are you here to see me?" Yun Yi asked with some confusion.
"Well... I heard that your soul core is almost ready. You don't need to go to Yueguan. You won't learn much from him." Guimei said straight to the point.
Yun Yi looked at Gui Mei with surprise and asked, "What do you mean?"
"His Holiness the Pope asked me to take you to the Worship Hall. There are Super Douluo above level 96. It depends on you how much you can learn." Guimei explained to Yun Yi.
Yun Yi was quite surprised when he heard this. A month ago, Bibi Dong's attitude was very clear. In order to prevent him from contacting the people in the Worship Hall, Bibi Dong even said that she would take him to hunt a hundred thousand year old soul beast.
Yun Yi didn't know why, in just this short month, Bibi Dong's attitude had changed so drastically.
"What? You don't want to go?" Guimei said, looking at the surprise on Yun Yi's face.
Hearing this, Yun Yi hurriedly shook his head and made up an excuse, "No, I was just surprised to hear the soul power levels of the seniors. Chen Xin is the only one in the entire Tiandou who is a level 96 Titled Douluo, and there is actually a worship hall in the hall. If I get along with so many senior masters, I must feel pressured."
"Boy, the heritage of this hall is deeper than you think. It's just that the priests are unwilling to interfere with the development of the hall on a daily basis. If they are willing, the entire continent will belong to our Wuhun Hall." Guimei said with a bit of pride in his words.
Upon hearing this, Yun Yi also showed an expression of reverence in response to Gui Mei's words.
Gui Mei looked at Yun Yi and continued, "Although the tempers of the priests are somewhat strange, I think you will definitely be pleasing to them. Okay, let's go. You will know more when you go there."
Yun Yi nodded, then Yun Yi told the servants in the Holy Maiden Palace where he was going, and left with the ghost.
Not long after, Yun Yi looked at the familiar mountain road in front of him and asked in confusion, "Isn't this the way to the Pope's Palace?"
Gui Mei explained to Yun Yi, "The Pope's Palace is halfway up the mountain, the Douluo Palace is at the top of the mountain, and the Worship Hall is between the Pope's Palace and the Douluo Palace."
Yun Yi looked suddenly enlightened upon hearing this, but without asking any further questions, he slowly followed the ghost.
