Dai Tianxing and Zhu Lingyun were both Titled Douluo. Not only was their spirit power unfathomably deep, but their understanding of cultivation also far surpassed that of ordinary people.
They watched as Davis cultivated the Mysterious Heaven Skill. After just a few hours of effort, he had already reached the introductory realm, quickly condensing a spirit power vortex deep within his dantian, all while greedily absorbing the rich, misty energy from the heavens and the earth.
After several more hours passed, the two of them easily reached the first layer of the Mysterious Heaven Skill and began to charge toward the second layer.
Everyone else's cultivation progress varied, but all of them were, at least, advancing. Those with better innate talent, such as Anna, only took a little over a day to reach the first layer of the Mysterious Heaven Skill, second only to Dai Tianxing and Zhu Lingyun.
Those with slightly poorer talent, for example, Zhu Zhuyun, also managed to cultivate to the first layer after spending three days.
Even Tang Yuehua, who had the weakest cultivation base, successfully stepped into the first layer of the Mysterious Heaven Skill after six days of arduous cultivation.
Although the talents of Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuqing, and Anna varied, all three of them had consumed immortal herbs and medicinal pills, which had served to enhance their natural aptitude.
Now, the cultivation talent of the three women was comparable to, if not greater than, someone with innate full spirit power.
As for Tang Yuehua, although she possessed innate level nine spirit power, she had not, after all, consumed any immortal herbs. She was still lacking significantly compared to the other three women, which was why it took her nearly a whole week to cultivate the Mysterious Heaven Skill to its first layer.
Five months passed by in a flash. During this period, Davis had remained in the Crown Prince's Mansion, slowly adapting to the power of the Deathgod Domain with the assistance of Tang Yuehua's Gengjin Annulus Domain.
By now, Davis was already able to skillfully control the Deathgod Domain and would no longer be influenced by the killing aura affecting his mind.
Even when using the Deathgod Domain and the Bloodthirsty Berserk skill simultaneously, he would not lose his rationality due to the brutal hostility welling up in his heart.
Furthermore, after these five months of cultivation, his cultivation base had become even more refined, although it could not be visually represented due to his lack of an eighth spirit ring.
It wasn't just Davis; Zhu Zhuyun and the others had also made significant progress. Zhu Zhuyun, in particular, was now full of motivation with Davis's return. She was brimming with energy, cultivating diligently to make up for the time she had previously wasted.
After five months, the spirit power of all four women had increased by one level. Zhu Zhuyun, who was originally a level 69 Agility-type Battle Spirit Emperor, had now reached level 70.
Holding Zhu Zhuyun's small hand, a trace of resolution flowed through Davis's eyes as he murmured, "It's time for me to obtain my eighth spirit ring."
Hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun also gave a sweet smile. "Hee hee, don't forget, there's also my seventh spirit ring!"
"Alright, then we'll go together tomorrow to obtain our spirit rings. Zhuyun, I will definitely find the most suitable spirit ring for you!"
"Mhm, I believe you!"
After speaking, Davis brought Zhu Zhuyun to the Star Luo Palace to find Dai Tianxing. He informed Dai Tianxing and his wife about his and Zhu Zhuyun's need to acquire spirit rings.
Since it was their grandson and granddaughter-in-law who needed to get spirit rings, Dai Tianxing and Zhu Lingyun naturally agreed wholeheartedly. However, they both knew that while getting Zhu Zhuyun a spirit ring was a simple matter, Davis's situation was the difficult part.
His seventh spirit ring was already a 100,000-year one. His eighth spirit ring could not possibly be anything less than 100,000 years, which meant they would inevitably have to hunt a 100,000-year spirit beast.
"The Azure Sky Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape... With just my strength and the old woman's, I'm afraid we might not be their opponents. To be safe, we should probably bring Dean Lin, General Lie Tianhu, and the Seventh Elder."
Even though two and a half years had passed, Dai Tianxing still felt a lingering fear when he thought about the power of the Azure Sky Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape. In the end, he decided to call for reinforcements.
Needless to say, Lin Qiuyang and Lie Tianhu were both Titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire and would follow Dai Tianxing's orders one hundred percent.
As for the Clear Sky Sect's Seventh Elder, the Raging Sun Douluo, he was currently within the borders of the Star Luo Empire and also owed the empire a great debt of gratitude. If they asked for his assistance, how could he possibly refuse?
The Clear Sky Sect would never be able to repay the empire's favor in this lifetime!
Hearing Dai Tianxing's words, a relaxed smile also appeared on Davis's face. The situation had truly improved. The Star Luo Empire now possessed a total of nine Titled Douluo, giving them the power to fight against any enemy. They no longer needed to be as fearful and apprehensive as before.
"Grandfather, Grandmother, since this matter brooks no delay, shall we set out tomorrow?"
"Good, no problem!" Dai Tianxing agreed. He then ordered his men to pack their bags; it seemed they would likely be staying in the Star Dou Great Forest for some time.
Early the next morning, the group set off with great fanfare, first heading to the Clear Sky Sect to request the Raging Sun Douluo's assistance.
Just as Dai Tianxing had predicted, upon learning that they were helping Davis obtain his eighth spirit ring, the Raging Sun Douluo did not hesitate in the slightest. He leaped up to join them, and then the group traveled together toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
In addition to the several Titled Douluo, Davis also brought along Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Tianyu. With both Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing present, the martial soul fusion skill the three of them could execute together was equivalent in power to a Super Douluo.
Adding Ning Tianyu's Eight Treasure Glazed Pagoda on top of that, the group's overall strength would be elevated by another level.
By now, Ning Tianyu's spirit power had also reached level 51, making him an Auxiliary-type Spirit King. His amplification for all attributes had reached sixty percent, which would absolutely provide them with enormous help.
Just like that, the group of nine rode in their carriages, advancing at full speed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
At the same time, within Spirit City.
After two and a half years, Spirit City, which had once been utterly destroyed, had now been successfully repaired.
Furthermore, to prevent the Star Luo Empire from bombarding Spirit City again, the city walls and foundations had been reinforced. Simultaneously, Spirit City was now garrisoned with twenty thousand spirit masters for its defense.
The Spirit City of today was, by all appearances, an unprecedentedly powerful fortress.
At this very moment, inside the Pope's Palace.
Pope Bibi Dong was seated upright on the high throne, while Hu Liena stood in attendance at her left side.
After five months had passed, Hu Liena had also gained proficient control over the power of the Deathgod Domain. She had also obtained her sixth spirit ring, becoming a level 63 Control-type Spirit Emperor.
Below the Pope's throne stood the only three remaining Titled Elders of the Elder Hall, along with various Platinum Bishops, Red-robed Cardinals, Archbishops, and other members, as well as Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.
Bibi Dong slowly rose to her feet. Taking Hu Liena's small hand, she led her to stand before the crowd and spoke in a solemn and formal tone: "Today, I wish to announce two matters to everyone. First, Hu Liena of our Spirit Hall's Golden Generation is now a level 63 Spirit Emperor. Furthermore, she has emerged victorious from the Slaughter City and obtained the Deathgod Domain.
Therefore, after my careful deliberation, I have decided to officially appoint Hu Liena as the Holy Maiden of our Spirit Hall. Her status shall be second only to mine, the Pope. Who agrees? Who objects?"
As she spoke the final words, Bibi Dong added a heavy emphasis. An invisible pressure simultaneously enveloped the entire Pope's Palace, making people shudder with cold fear.
The people below all dropped to one knee, shouting in unison: "We pay our respects to Her Highness, the Holy Maiden!"
