—------------------—
Acquired rules and innate rules differ in their manifestations, but it is difficult to distinguish their strengths and weaknesses based on this alone.
After all, not all innate laws possess strong combat power, and some acquired laws are also powerful in attack.
When the Soul Palace's small world was formed, a person with red hair and red eyes descended upon the place where Xiao Mu took away the inheritance.
"The aura of the Fire God's legacy still lingers here."
This person is a priest from the divine realm. Although he is not a true god, his strength far surpasses that of ordinary soul masters.
The God of Fire's legacy was taken away, and the God of Fire's sword disappeared. Naturally, he couldn't just ignore it. As a god, he couldn't personally interfere in matters of the mortal realm, so he sent a priest to investigate.
This priest has been in the God Realm for many years. Although he has no divine position and cannot become a true god, the power he has accumulated definitely surpasses that of a typical level 99 Title Douluo.
Moreover, due to his long absence from the lower realms and the fact that this was his first time in Douluo Continent, he was somewhat bewildered.
Compared to investigation, fighting was easier for him.
He had thought he could quickly find the person who stole the Fire God Sword by following the aura of the Fire God's legacy.
However, although some traces of the Fire God's legacy remain, they are only present near this volcano, and there are no clues to follow them.
Of course, he didn't only have the ability to sense auras, but he had already tried another method, which was equally ineffective.
Before descending to the mortal realm, the God of Fire granted him the ability to sense the God of Fire Sword. When he first arrived in Douluo Continent, he tried several times, but to no avail.
The method Fire God gave him must be correct. The person who stole the Fire God sword must have used some method to obscure his perception of the Fire God sword.
Little did he know that the Fire God Sword no longer existed and had become a material for the Soul Palace's upgrade.
Of course, even if the Fire God Sword still exists, after being cleansed by the Void Devouring Flame, let alone a priest, even the Fire God himself would probably not be able to find it.
After pondering for a moment, the priest seemed to have made a decision and flew off in a certain direction.
Tell me, which is the most powerful force in the Douluo Continent?
The volcano was in a desolate place, and the priest finally found traces of humans after traveling a long distance away.
He didn't ask ordinary people directly, but only asked them after finding a Soul Master.
The priests, having been away from the mortal realm for so long, carried with them an air of superiority.
His tone was less of an inquiry and more of an interrogation, as if he were speaking to a lowly servant, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Who the hell are you? How dare you talk to me like that?"
Among Soul Masters, there are very few people with particularly good tempers, and this person was even more short-tempered when questioned by the priest.
After being looked at by the priest as if he were a dog, the soul master immediately flew into a rage, his face turning red with anger.
"I'll ask you one more time, what is the name of the most powerful force on Douluo Continent, and where is it located?"
This time, the priest did more than just talk; he also unleashed a certain aura during the questioning.
The Soul Master he was questioning immediately turned pale. The Soul Master who had just been about to have a stroke suddenly became anemic.
"My...my sir, I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness, I..."
The priest frowned; having not dealt with mortals for a long time, he seemed quite impatient.
With a wave of his hand, he slapped the man across the face.
"Answer my question, understand?"
"Yes, I understand."
No matter how angry he was inside, he didn't dare to show it like before.
"The most powerful force in the Douluo Continent is definitely the Spirit Hall, but..."
Perhaps fearing another slap, the man didn't dare pause for long and quickly continued:
"However, now there is another Soul Hall, which is also very powerful. I wonder which one is stronger, the Spirit Hall or the Spirit Hall."
The Spirit Hall has a long history and is still considered a sacred place by many Spirit Masters, while the Soul Hall has emerged as a dark horse and has the potential to replace the Spirit Hall.
This person was just a low-level Soul Master. He had never been to either Spirit City or Heaven Dou City, and based on hearsay, he had no way of judging who was stronger.
In fact, even those high-level Soul Masters wouldn't dare to guarantee which is stronger, the Soul Hall or the Spirit Hall.
The priest curled his lip.
It's always the Spirit Hall, and the Soul Hall again. Are the people of Douluo Continent really that uncreative? Can't they come up with a name that's a little different?
After further questioning about the exact locations of the Soul Hall and the Spirit Hall, the priest decided to go to the Spirit Hall.
Distance was a secondary factor; he simply felt that the Spirit Hall had existed for a longer time, while the Soul Hall was like a nouveau riche, and its strength was definitely inferior to that of the Spirit Hall.
He wanted to use the power of Soul Masters to find the whereabouts of the Fire God Sword, so naturally he wanted to choose the most powerful and deeply rooted Spirit Hall.
According to this person, the Spirit Hall is spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent, with branches in every city, making it his ideal target.
"My lord, I have answered all the questions I know. Is there anything else you wish to instruct me to do?"
Were you being very rude to me just now?
"Ah? I am guilty, I..."
The man was so frightened that his legs went weak. Although this powerful figure from who-knows-where did not reveal his spirit rings, his mere aura was enough to make him breathless. He was definitely a spirit master whose strength far surpassed his own, the kind of person who could kill him with the flick of a finger.
"Hmph, get lost."
Although this priest was arrogant, he wouldn't go so far as to kill this soul master.
Although there are gods in the divine realm who wield laws that lean towards evil and chaos, the management of these divine officials is relatively strict. Moreover, he works for the God of Fire, so killing indiscriminately is somewhat inappropriate.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
That's what it's like to be weaker than others. Even if this Soul Master doesn't think he's done anything wrong, he feels that being able to save his life is the greatest reward he can ask for.
The priest ignored the man and flew towards Wuhun City in the direction he had indicated.
...
Wuhun City.
After Bibi Dong left, the Elders' Hall became overstaffed.
After all, there are only a few people left in the Elder Hall. The Porcupine Douluo and the Serpent Spear Douluo are with Qian Renxue, while the Ghost Douluo and the Chrysanthemum Douluo are nowhere to be seen. The remaining two or three are quite bewildered.
Before Bibi Dong left, she did arrange for elders to handle routine matters. It would have been fine if she had been gone for a short time, but now that it has been more than half a year, there are always matters that the elders cannot handle.
Qian Daoliu had no intention of continuing as acting pope, so he let Golden Crocodile Douluo temporarily take charge of the Pope's Palace.
Qian Daoliu sometimes felt that it was better for Bibi Dong to leave, as Xiaoxue had grown up and would eventually inherit the papacy.
Rather than taking it from Bibi Dong, it's better to take advantage of Bibi Dong's absence, sort everything out, and hand it over directly to Xiao Xue.
Even if Bibi Dong isn't around, no one dares to cause trouble in Wuhun City.
Inside the offering hall, Qian Daoliu suddenly looked outside.
