147: Chapter 147 The Power of Order

Meanwhile, inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong sat high on the papal throne, resting with her eyes closed.

Hu Liena walked to the center of the main hall and knelt on one knee directly before her, her head bowed low: "Teacher, years ago, I went to Sea God Island without informing you. Please punish me."

Bibi Dong did not respond. She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze falling upon Hu Liena, her brows furrowed: "Nana... you have actually reached Rank 77 Spirit Saint?"

"Yes, Teacher." Hu Liena replied, still keeping her head lowered.

Bibi Dong's figure flashed, and she instantly arrived before Hu Liena. She reached out to help her up, her fingertips brushing against her Meridians as she meticulously probed her Soul Power inch by inch, a hint of worry between her brows.

Such a rapid rate of improvement was most likely to damage one's Foundation. She feared that her Disciple had paid an irreparable price in order to become stronger.

However, a moment later, all of Bibi Dong's worries vanished. Hu Liena's Foundation was more stable than she could have imagined; there was not a trace of instability, and her physique was several times stronger than it had been three years ago.

She let go of her hand, her tone softening considerably: "Nana, tell Teacher everything about Sea God Island in detail."

She did not mention the word punishment. Back then, when Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan returned to report that Hu Liena had followed Ji Xuan to Sea God Island without permission, how could she not have been angry? At that time, she had berated Chrysanthemum Douluo, but ultimately did not deal a heavy hand.

Although Sea God Island had a grudge against Spirit Hall, that brat Ji Xuan always acted with discretion, and she believed he would not gamble with his own life. Moreover, compared to letting Hu Liena train in Slaughter City, Sea God Island might actually be a safer choice.

Hu Liena replied respectfully: "Sea God Island possesses the Sea God Legacy. Everyone receives different levels of trials based on their talent. I received the Black Grade Five Trials, which is why I was able to make such progress over these three years."

"Black Grade Five Trials..." Bibi Dong repeated in a low voice. "Then what about Ji Xuan? What kind of trial did he receive?"

Hu Liena did not hide anything and answered truthfully: "Your Highness Ji Xuan received the Seagod Nine Trials, and his Soul Power has now reached Rank 87."

On the journey back, Ji Xuan had told her that if her Teacher asked, she need not conceal anything and should tell her everything.

"What?! That brat actually received a Divine Trial?!" Bibi Dong had never expected that deep within Sea God Island, there would actually be a Divinity Legacy!

What made her even more furious was that this Legacy had fallen upon Ji Xuan! How much time had passed? The speed of this brat's rise was actually this fast...

She pressed on: "Nana, which trial is Ji Xuan on now?"

"The eighth trial."

"What! So fast?!" Damn it! A strong sense of urgency surged into Bibi Dong's heart.

The reason she had not personally taken action against Ji Xuan was because she had obtained the Rakshasa Divine Trial; in her eyes, no matter how good Ji Xuan's talent was, he was ultimately just a Mortal.

But now, everything was developing in a direction beyond her expectations. If Ji Xuan were to become a god before her, how could she destroy Spirit Hall in the future?

Perhaps, that brat Ji Xuan might even make a move against her first... It seemed she had to speed up her pace; it was time to complete her remaining spirit rings.

"Nana, you may go now."

"Yes, Teacher." Hu Liena bowed and retreated.

After Hu Liena left, Bibi Dong summoned Ghost Douluo.

"Gui Mei, your next task is to search for the traces of a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast," Bibi Dong ordered.

"Yes, Her Holiness the Pope." Gui Mei accepted the order and transformed into a black shadow, retreating.

Several days later.

Sunset Forest, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

After several years, this precious land was managed in an orderly fashion by the Breaking Clan, and the Immortal Plants that had been plucked years ago had long since grown back.

Just at this moment, a spatial rift appeared in the valley without warning.

"Who goes there!" Yang Wudi was suddenly alert, his Soul Breaking Spear condensing in his hand.

In these few years, Yang Wudi's Soul Power had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he was now a Rank 88 Spirit Douluo.

If not for the fact that he poured most of his energy into alchemy rather than focusing solely on cultivation, given the Foundation he had solidified after consuming the Immortal Plant, his Soul Power Rank would certainly not be limited to this.

Nowadays, the Consecrated Elders no longer stayed stationed at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for long periods, coming only occasionally; he was fully responsible for the safety here. With his strength, ordinary Titled Douluo below Rank 95 were simply no match for him.

When a figure stepped slowly out from the rift, the vigilance in Yang Wudi's eyes vanished instantly; he hurriedly put away his Soul Breaking Spear, stepped forward quickly, and bowed respectfully: "Your Highness!"

"Mm, continue with your work." Ji Xuan nodded indifferently.

"Yes." Yang Wudi replied and retreated to continue refining medicine.

Ji Xuan did not say more and walked straight to the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. The next moment, the Power of Order swirled around him, and without hesitation, he leaped, diving into the spring water with a splash.

The depth of the spring water was far beyond imagination. Ji Xuan continued to dive deeper; the water pressure around him grew stronger and stronger, and the extreme Aura of intertwining ice and fire became increasingly intense. However, this energy did not affect him in the slightest.

He did not know how much time had passed, but he finally reached the bottom of the spring. Within his line of sight, two massive Dragon skeletons lay quietly. One radiated a scorching Aura that seemed to burn the heavens and boil the seas, while the other was surrounded by a bone-chilling cold that could freeze the Soul.

These were the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings; after they fell, they plummeted here, which gave birth to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Beneath the ribs of the two Dragon skeletons, a Spirit Bone had fallen from each, forming a pair of arm bones.

The moment Ji Xuan's gaze locked onto the Spirit Bones, two phantoms rose from the Dragon skeletons—they were the remnant Souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. In their lifetime, they were existences at the Divine Beast level; even with only remnant Souls remaining, they were far beyond what an ordinary Spirit Master could contend with.

"Audacious Mortal! How dare you covet our Spirit Bones?" The Fire Dragon King's remnant Soul spoke, carrying a faint trace of Divine Might.

Ji Xuan's eyes were calm, and he was not in the slightest affected by the remnant Souls' pressure. He spoke indifferently: "Since you have already fallen, the fallen Spirit Bones are an Opportunity from heaven and earth; those fated to have them shall possess them. I am taking these two Spirit Bones today."

"You seek death!" The remnant Souls of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were about to attack Ji Xuan. Just then, the Aura around Ji Xuan suddenly surged, and a wisp of Order Divine Power surged toward the two remnant Souls: "Extinguish!"

"No—!!" The two remnant Souls struggled ceaselessly. On the journey back to the continent from Sea God Island, he had begun to gradually convert the Soul Power within his body into Order Divine Power. Although only a mere wisp had been converted, how could mere remnant Souls resist it?

Very quickly, the two remnant Souls gradually dissipated, and in the end, not even a trace was left behind. Having dealt with the remnant Souls, Ji Xuan swam straight toward the Dragon skeletons and retrieved the two arm bones.

He examined them for a moment, feeling the power of ice and fire contained within the Spirit Bones, then turned and swam toward the water's surface. Upon returning to the shore, Ji Xuan gave a few instructions to Yang Wudi, then sat cross-legged and began to prepare to absorb the Spirit Bones.

Ji Xuan pondered for a moment, then first took out the Ice Dragon King's left arm bone and pressed it against his left arm...
