Chapter 320: A Storm is Coming

"A little over four years?" Shi Quan curled the corner of his mouth, "Just right, this time of over four years should be enough for Lingling and the others to successively attain godhood."

"This timeframe is only an estimation. Before becoming a Title Douluo, you can rely on your identity as the Child of Heaven's Luck to autonomously increase your strength, but after becoming a Title Douluo, the accumulation of energy requires you to do it yourself."

"Isn't it just energy accumulation? It's fine, I am three people!" Shi Quan smiled faintly and looked at the two figures on the opposite side.

These two figures were precisely the avatars of Shi Quan's One Qi Transforms into Three Purities.

Even after cultivating until now, his One Qi Transforms into Three Purities still remained at the Three Transformations Realm, though the duration his avatars could be maintained had long since increased to twelve hours, and the cooldown time had also been shortened to one hour.

"The Reincarnation Mansion has already gained a firm foothold on the Longteng Continent, and internal integration will still take quite some time. I will return to the Douluo Continent for a while first, and after breaking through to Level Ninety, I will come back and then completely unify the Longteng Continent."

"Are you planning to leave Juntian here?"

"Only with it here will no one dare to shake the Reincarnation Mansion." Shi Quan nodded.

Just as Shi Quan said, the Reincarnation Mansion had already gained a firm foothold on the Longteng Continent. Shi Quan did not participate in the management of the Reincarnation Mansion; most of the Reincarnation Mansion's affairs were handled by Long Wenhe, and only a few very important matters would Long Wenhe report to Shi Quan.

Under the management of Long Wenhe, everything in the Reincarnation Mansion was in perfect order, and the collection of Faith Power was like a fish in water.

After informing Long Wenhe that he would be leaving the continent for a period of time, Shi Quan also temporarily handed over the management rights of the two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts to him. With the two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts helping out, no one could shake his position.

After settling everything, Shi Quan, Di Tian, and Gu Yuena set off and immediately left the Longteng Continent, heading toward the Douluo Continent.

On Douluo Star, there were only these three pieces of land that could be called continents; the others were just some larger islands.

Several days later.

Three figures landed steadily on a certain coast of the Douluo Continent.

"We will wait for you in the Star Dou Great Forest." After confirming the location, Gu Yuena and Di Tian nodded toward Shi Quan and flew off in a different direction from him.

Shi Quan flew straight toward the direction of Heaven Dou City.

"Hmm?"

Along the way, the soldiers in every city were in a state of readiness, and the atmosphere was exceptionally rigorous.

"It seems that in this year, Qian Renxue has done quite a few things." Judging from the situation on the road, the two great Empires clearly had a trend toward starting a war.

With the disguise of Mental Power, Shi Quan traveled rapidly and soon arrived outside Heaven Dou City. Before entering Heaven Dou City, Shi Quan suddenly sensed the aura fluctuations of Dugu Bo.

His powerful Mental Power instantly locked onto Dugu Bo. Sensing the soul power fluctuations permeating around Dugu Bo, Shi Quan's eyes narrowed, and the Eight Wings behind him suddenly unfolded. His extreme speed turned into a streak of light in the sky, appearing on the outskirts of the Sunset Forest in the blink of an eye.

"Grandpa Dugu."

Dugu Bo was stunned for a moment, only to see a golden light in the distance rapidly enlarging, converging into a human figure.

"To actually dare to make a move on you! Who is it?" Shi Quan's voice was cold and bone-chilling, and the chill in his eyes could not be concealed.

"Xiao Quan." Seeing that the person who arrived was Shi Quan, Dugu Bo relaxed his tightly wound nerves and waved his hand, saying: "It's nothing, I just had a fight with that sissy Chrysanthemum Guan. Does your grandpa look like someone who gets bullied?"

"It's you kid, I still have an account to settle with you!" Dugu Bo glared at Shi Quan, "You kid, give me an honest explanation: did you know about the problem with that kid Xue Qinghe long ago!"

Shi Quan's expression paused, and he said with an ignorant look: "Grandpa Dugu, what do you mean by that?"

Dugu Bo raised his hand and slapped Shi Quan on the head, "You kid is still putting on an act for me. I was wondering why you supported him back then; it turns out you had already discovered his problem. Knowing full well that I have a conflict with the Spirit Hall, you kid were still secretly supporting the Spirit Hall!"

Shi Quan shrank his head and apologized with a smile: "I didn't support the Spirit Hall. Xue Qinghe is from the Elder Hall, not the Spirit Hall."

"Is the Elder Hall not a part of the Spirit Hall?" Hearing this, Dugu Bo was even more furious, his beard twitching.

Shi Quan chuckled and explained: "Wasn't it because I thought the Elder Hall and Bibi Dong and the others were at odds internally? So I planned to sow discord from within?"

"Sow discord?" Dugu Bo gave Shi Quan a fierce look, "If you keep spinning this yarn, I might even believe it."

"Hehe." Shi Quan hurriedly changed the subject: "Grandpa Dugu, how did your battle with Yue Guan go?"

Speaking of the battle, Dugu Bo immediately held his head high and said: "How could that old fellow Chrysanthemum Guan be my opponent? He was poisoned by me this time, and he will have to suffer for at least half a month."

"Grandpa Dugu, you are still the best!" Shi Quan hurriedly praised him.

"Don't think your grandpa is so easily fooled. You better explain this matter to me properly!"

"That's a long story to explain."

"It's fine, I have plenty of time; we can explain it slowly when we get back."

Shi Quan could only follow Dugu Bo back to Heaven Dou City with a helpless expression.

As for the reasons, they were nothing more than weighing the pros and cons, coupled with Qian Renxue's special identity.

Although it was troublesome, in reality, all Dugu Bo wanted was an explanation, because from Dugu Bo's words just now, it could actually be seen that Dugu Bo did not have as deep a hatred for the Spirit Hall as imagined; it was just years of unwillingness.

After the explanation, Shi Quan accompanied Dugu Bo to drink for the night before they each went to sleep.

The next day, Shi Quan finally learned from Dugu Bo about the changes in the continent over the past year.

The lineage of Xueye the Great had been completely purged, and the entire Heaven Dou Empire had long since become Qian Renxue's possession. The Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Hall reached a cooperation, forcefully stationing themselves in the Heaven Dou Empire and participating in the management of the Empire.

The future lineage of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family was severed, Tang Hao was dead, Tang San was classified as a Fallen Spirit Master, and the Clear Sky Sect sealed its mountain and went into seclusion. Only the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect remained, and Ning Rongrong, the future hope of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, had been taken to Sea God Island by Shi Quan.

After Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect understood the whole truth, amidst sighs of helplessness, Ning Fengzhi also had no choice but to follow the Spirit Hall and fully support the Heaven Dou Empire.

The massive Heaven Dou Empire developed rapidly.

The two great Empires had been in a standoff for many years, and there had already been many frictions during this period. Now, the strongest Spirit Master force on the continent, the Spirit Hall, not only unconditionally supported the Heaven Dou Empire, but with the addition of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from the Three Upper Sects, for a time, the entire continent had a feeling that a storm was coming.

The great war between the two Empires was on the verge of breaking out, and both Empires were constantly preparing their respective armies...
