Chapter 395: Chapter 391.
Chapter 391.
Wang Feng remembered that in the original story, only the Elephant Armor Sect was mentioned, and he hadn't paid much attention to the subsequent plot, so he wasn't sure if there were any other sects involved. However, the four major sects he had inquired about were these:
Elephant Armor Sect
Medicine Spirit Sect
Seven Cauldron Sect
Battle Sword Sect
These were the ones Bibi Dong had mentioned to him. Except for the Elephant Armor Sect, the other three sects were somewhat peculiar. They hadn't established their own academies nor participated in any competitions by sending teams. But through the information Wang Feng had gathered from the Soul Hall, he learned that Zhan Xiaotian, a former acquaintance, was actually a disciple of the Battle Sword Sect before he left and joined the God of War Academy.
The Battle Sword Sect was located in the Xingluo Empire, a place with very little information available, and even the imperial family had limited knowledge of it. The Medicine Spirit Sect and Seven Cauldron Sect were also in the Xingluo Empire.
The Elephant Armor Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect, and Blue Electric Overlord Sect were based in the Heaven Dou Empire.
The Clear Sky Sect remained particularly mysterious. The personnel of the Soul Hall were strictly forbidden from entering it, which only added to its intrigue.
Clearly, each of these four sects had its own unique characteristics. Their ability to rank among the Seven Great Sects indicated they all possessed significant strengths.
Additionally, Wang Feng discovered that the Battle Sword Sect had a Titled Douluo, making it the strongest among the four sects. These sects, while closely allied with the Soul Hall, had not fully surrendered to its control. Instead, they existed in a state of semi-dependence.
This information became available to Wang Feng only after he joined the Soul Hall. Most people, especially those from the Star Luo Empire, were unaware of these four sects.
"The distribution of Titled Douluo-level experts is too uneven…"
Wang Feng couldn't help but be astounded after learning about the situation on the mainland.
The Soul Hall had an overwhelming number of Titled Douluo.
Wang Feng's experience had primarily been in the Heaven Dou Empire, but Titled Douluo were notably absent from the main factions there. He had only heard of one, Old Poison, from the Seven Great Sects, but he knew of no other Titled Douluo from the Heaven Dou Empire.
The same was true for the Star Luo Empire.
Not only were Titled Douluo rare, but even Soul Douluo were a rare sight. Wang Feng wondered how these two empires had survived all these years with such limited high-level combat power.
Moreover, the Soul Halls in many cities were staffed by Bishops, all of whom were at least Soul Masters of level 60. The cardinals were all at level 70 or higher, with many of them even being Soul Douluo level soul masters. There were also Platinum Bishops who were nearing Titled Douluo strength.
Wang Feng noticed that in the cities he had visited during his patrol, which took about ten days, he had encountered countless Soul Masters of level 40 and 50 in the branch temples. The main cities had Soul Masters at level 60 and 70 in the Soul Halls, and there were plenty of them.
These figures were all visible to anyone. Any soul master could easily observe them.
Wang Feng realized that the strength of the Soul Hall was made apparent to the public, with its high-ranking personnel visible in every city. However, there were many more powerful figures hiding in the shadows, acting as guardians like the Knights Templar of the Supreme Pontiff's Hall, whose ranks started at level 60. Some of these guardians were as strong as level 80, and there was even a Titled Douluo among them.
"How did Tang San even manage to win…?" Wang Feng found himself questioning.
The Soul Hall's high-end combat power was overwhelming, and the low-end combat power was no small matter either. At this level, low-end fighters seemed almost insignificant.
But if a Titled Douluo with super strong group attacks were to engage, they could easily create a one-sided battle, wiping out lower-level combatants in a matter of moments!
Wang Feng could see that the Soul Hall's visible strength was just the surface of its true might. There was so much more power hidden beneath, waiting to be unleashed.
"Who knows if Bibi Dong is still hiding something in the Soul Hall?" Wang Feng thought to himself.
At that moment, Cardinal Thomas spoke up, calling attention.
"My Lord?"
Wang Feng nodded slightly, acknowledging him. "I see."
He then turned his gaze to the three who were accompanying him, focusing on Yan. A slight twitch of his mouth betrayed his amusement.
Back in the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong had used Yan's death as an excuse to challenge Tang San and Jiu Yikai. Yet, Yan hadn't died at all. Wang Feng knew that Bibi Dong had simply fabricated the story as an excuse for her own agenda.
It had been more than four and a half years since then. Hu Liena's progress had been the slowest among the Golden Generation, primarily because she had spent much of her time in the Slaughter City, not focusing on cultivation. However, she was now at level 62.
Six months ago, upon her return to the Soul Hall, Bibi Dong had found her a sixth soul ring. The other two members of the Golden Generation had reached level 65, having improved by ten levels over the past four years.
Now, they looked to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
The Golden Generation now worshipped Wang Feng as the Supreme Pontiff Palace, second only to Bibi Dong herself. With this group, Wang Feng had already visited more than a dozen major cities. Some of the bishops in the main halls had their doubts about the new White Pontiff, but Wang Feng quickly silenced any suspicions with overwhelming power.
Hu Liena didn't say much—after all, she had witnessed Wang Feng defeat six Titled Douluo in succession with her own eyes. She had also shared a profound experience with him in the Slaughter City, which had only deepened her respect and admiration for him.
Xie Yue and Yan, who hadn't been present at the time, had joined later, but through their travels and common observations along the way, they too were now equally convinced and utterly devoted to the White Pontiff.
Strength alone was impressive, but Wang Feng's style and demeanor also captivated them.
The three of them had experienced the thrill of flying on long-distance swords. It was exhilarating and powerful, an explosive feeling that resonated deeply with them.
Black Armored Sword!
With Wang Feng's current level of spiritual power and mastery over the Black Armored Flying Sword, he was now extremely proficient, and the second drop of water was quickly condensed.
Not only could he adjust the width and thickness of the flying sword, but he could also increase its stability. It was now capable of carrying several people without the slightest difficulty!
Every time they landed, the three of them were so excited that their entire bodies felt numb.
To be honest, flying on a sword at an altitude of several hundred meters was an exhilarating experience. It was far beyond the feeling of a simple flight.
In fact, Wang Feng knew exactly why Bibi Dong had ordered the three of them to accompany him. They were the Golden Generation, the brightest of the younger generation in the Soul Hall. Among them, Hu Liena had been secretly chosen by Bibi Dong to be the next heir to the White Pontiff—a saint. Naturally, Bibi Dong's aim was to have the White Pontiff get closer to these three.
'After passing Elephant City, it's not far from Heaven Dou City. By then, I'm sure to meet the Heaven Dou Imperial Family… I wonder how Qian Renxue is doing now?'
'And the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Sect will definitely come into play… but in the name of the Supreme Pontiff…'
'Is Tang San also in Heaven Dou City now? I don't know the plot, and I'm not sure if it's…'
As these thoughts raced through his mind, Wang Feng's focus shifted between his reflections and the journey ahead.
"Your Excellency the Supreme Pontiff, His Majesty mentioned that unless there is a special circumstance, your mask should remain on. Is there a particular reason for this?" Xie Yue asked respectfully.
"Brother, how could you ask such a question?!" Before Wang Feng could respond, Hu Liena snorted. "How could you expect to see the White Pontiff face? You're not allowed to ask that!"
Xie Yue: "..."
