Chapter 52: Chain Reaction
. Two Months Later.
Wuhun City.
Qin Ming, sitting cross-legged in the center of the simulated training ground, slowly opened his eyes.
The soul energy emanating from Qin Ming's body calmed down. Looking at the crimson flame flowers blooming around him, Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh.
"It's truly worthy of this top-tier simulated training ground, which cost millions of gold soul coins to build.
In less than two months, it's helped me successfully break through to level 48 soul power.
The Soul King realm is within reach..."
Qin Ming said, sitting up from the ground.
"I wonder why the Pope told me to go to the Pope's Palace today?"
After muttering, Qin Ming stretched his body slightly and headed towards the Pope's Palace.
On the way to the Palace, Qin Ming could clearly sense the changes in Wuhun City.
Since Qian Daoliu issued the order two months ago,
a large number of Wuhun City's personnel have been withdrawn, all dispatched to the Xingluo Empire.
Since Wuhun City's personnel are primarily elite personnel selected by the Spirit Hall from all over the country, it's impossible to quickly replenish them.
As a result, the entire Spirit City was considerably quieter.
Walking along the street, Qin Ming's mind was clear.
"Compared to the original novel, things have changed significantly now.
The future Star Luo Emperor Dai Ying has come to Spirit City to cultivate, and judging by his current situation,
Dai Mubai definitely won't have a chance to be born...
As for the other characters from the original novel related to the Star Luo Empire, given the drastic changes to the overall situation within the Star Luo Empire
, even if they could appear in this world, they would likely be just a similar flower in the same world..."
Ten minutes later, Qin Ming entered the Pope's Palace.
Taking in the scene, Qin Ming raised an eyebrow.
Besides Pope Qian Xunji, there was also someone Qin Ming knew well.
"Salas? Why is he here?
Wait, what's with his clothes?"
While pondering, Qin Ming stepped forward and saluted Qian Xunji.
"Greetings, Your Holiness."
"Well, Qin Ming, you've arrived just in time. Bishop Saras and I were just discussing your situation,"
Qian Xunji said, looking at Saras.
"Bishop Sarath, please discuss the receptions with Qin Ming
regarding the two empires and the various sects, as well as the promotions for bishops at all levels. " Upon hearing this, Qin Ming looked at Sarath with some surprise. Sarath was wearing a white robe embroidered with a golden cloud border and adorned with pure gold cufflinks. Thinking about Qian Xunji's words, and Sarath's change of attire, Qin Ming was well aware that Sarath had been promoted to Platinum Bishop several years earlier than in the original novel. Sarath also glanced at Qin Ming. Seeing Qin Ming now was a bit surreal. The journey he had struggled through half his life in the Spirit Hall had been swiftly accomplished by Qin Ming in just a few months. When they first met, Sarath had assumed Qin Ming was just a common genius from an ordinary kingdom. He had never dreamed that in just a few short months, Qin Ming would have undergone such a profound transformation. Qin Ming's status within the Spirit Hall was no longer a question. His soul power was now approaching that of a Soul King. His actual combat power was even more exaggerated. Rumors within the Hall circulated that Qin Ming was already capable of defeating a Soul Emperor. Saras remained neutral on this point. After all, Qin Ming would represent the Spirit Hall in the Genius Tournament in two months. Saras knew that even if Qin Ming's strength wasn't as good as a Soul Emperor, he was definitely stronger than an average Soul King...
Knowing Qin Ming's promising future,
Saras maintained a much more humble demeanor than he had during their initial meeting. As
soon as his eyes met Qin Ming's, Saras offered an ingratiating smile.
"Your Highness, Qin Ming, the truth is,
in preparation for the grand ceremony re-ranking the seven major sects in two months,
His Holiness the Pope intends to have you participate in the reception.
Furthermore, His Holiness plans to transfer outstanding talents from our Spirit Hall within the Heaven Dou Empire to Spirit City to
address the recent shortage of manpower.
Furthermore, these transferred talents will likely receive opportunities for promotion.
I have been fortunate enough to receive the Pope's favor.
I have been promoted to Platinum Bishop, specifically responsible for this matter.
Your Highness, you will serve as my deputy, assisting me in completing this mission."
Hearing Saras' words, Qin Ming only needed a moment's thought before reacting.
"The Pope is probably hoping to make me a prominent figure by arranging for me to participate in the reception of the major sects."
I want to tell all spirit masters in the world that joining the Spirit Hall is the best choice.
Meanwhile, the Pope's decision to involve me in deciding the Bishop's promotion seems intended to give me access to power within the Spirit Hall...
Thinking of this, Qin Ming, though reluctant to waste precious rest time on such trivial matters, had no choice but to agree.
"Thank you, Bishop Sarath, for your explanation. Qin Ming has understood,"
Qin Ming said, cupping his fists again and looking at Qian Xunji.
"Your Holiness, Qin Ming will do his best to complete the task."
Upon hearing this, Qian Xunji nodded in satisfaction.
He then smiled at Qin Ming and the others.
"Okay, if that's the case, then it's settled.
There's nothing further to do. You may return and rest."
After hearing Qian Xunji's words, Qin Ming and Sarath left the Pope's Hall together.
Sarath and Qin Ming walked a distance, one in front of the other.
As they reached a fork in the road, Sarath called out to Qin Ming.
"Qin Ming, Bishop Kelin of Soto City has been responsible for managing all matters of the Soto Spirit Hall for over twenty years, without a single mistake.
He's a rare talent in our Spirit Hall, and Bishop Kelin's experience is sufficient.
Therefore, I intend to recommend Bishop Kelin to His Holiness the Pope as one of the first candidates to be promoted to Cardinal."
Qin Ming's eyes flickered upon hearing this.
"Salas specifically mentioned Bishop Kelin. Is this a gesture of favor?
He probably hopes I won't go out of my way to trouble him, so that his first mission after becoming a Platinum Bishop can be successfully completed...
Never mind, that's unimportant. I had no intention of getting involved.
If Sarath is willing to do this, then leave it to him.
Besides, Bishop Kelin is eager to advance,
and this time, I'll fulfill his wish.
Not only has he been transferred back to the central authority from the provincial level, but he's also made the leap from bishop to cardinal.
That's a three-level jump."
Thinking of this, Qin Ming also put on a smile and looked at Sarath.
"Bishop Sarath, I'm not familiar with those bishops and deacons, so I'll rely on you to make all the decisions regarding this operation.
I will fully cooperate with you."
Upon hearing this, Sarath's smile deepened.
"Rest assured, Your Highness Qin Ming, I will see to it."
