Chapter 102: What? I’ve Become a Clown?
Bibi Dong’s words made Bai Yu blink. Six to eight ranks? Who’s that amazing? Already at eight ranks?
“Uh, who reached eight ranks? That fast? More impressive than me!”,
“Actually, I can also make eight-rank spirit tools now, but it takes time, about half a year to make one.”
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Bibi Dong was a bit surprised, because as far as she knew, the rank of a Soul Guide was generally linked to spirit power.
And Bai Yu could actually produce eight-rank spirit tools at the Spirit Saint stage. It seemed this guy had strong talent in spirit tools.
“That eight-rank Soul Guide, you’re also very familiar with him. It’s Qian Daoliu, that old geezer, who used to stay in the Elder Palace all day, doing nothing.”
“Ever since you brought back the knowledge of spirit tools, that old guy became interested. It’s probably because he doesn’t need to spend time cultivating, so his Soul Guide rank advanced very quickly.”
“But to talk about the most talented, it’s still Light Plume Douluo. That guy doesn’t spend much time researching spirit tools, yet his rank is catching up to Qian Daoliu, about to break through to eight ranks.”
Bai Yu’s eyes widened in astonishment. He hadn’t expected that Guang Ling, who was so playful, actually had such talent?
If he worked hard, he wondered if he could become a ten-rank Soul Guide. If he really did, that would be a different kind of Limit Douluo.
“Hehe, then Teacher, haven’t you tried your own spirit tool talent? I imagine it wouldn’t be worse than the High Priest.”
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at Bai Yu and said grumpily:
“What do I try? Do you think I’m like those old guys, idle all day? The Supreme Pontiff’s position has a lot of daily tasks.”
“Plus, I still have to cultivate, so I don’t have extra energy to research spirit tools.”
Speaking of this, Bibi Dong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression on her face was a half-smile as she looked at Bai Yu.
“Let’s not talk about me anymore, let’s talk about your Spirit Transmission Tower.”
“According to your method, as long as enough high-level Spirit Beast data can be obtained, Spirit Hall can still achieve it within five years.”
“However, you’re expending so much effort to win people’s hearts, and constantly outside, incorporating Sects and talents, what do you intend to do? Unify the continent?”
Hearing Bibi Dong’s question, Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, then a smile appeared on his face, and his fingers began to tap on the table.
“I’ll figure out a way for the high-level Spirit Beast data. I met a friend outside before, and she has some Spirit Beast data.”
“As for unifying the continent, isn’t that your wish, Teacher? As your disciple, how can I not assist?”
Bibi Dong’s expression became a bit strange, and a hint of a smile appeared in her eyes.
“Who told you I want to unify the continent? I have no such intention. Haven’t you been laying out plans across the continent all along? I thought you wanted to unify the continent!”
What Bibi Dong said was indeed her current thought.
Previously, her desire to unify the continent, and even destroy Spirit Hall, was due to the emptiness and hatred in her heart, forming an obsession.
But ever since Bai Yu appeared, the emptiness in her heart was slowly filled, and her obsession gradually disappeared, so whether the continent was unified or not, it didn’t matter.
Just as Bai Yu’s notes said, she was a love-struck person from a young age; as long as the love in her heart existed, nothing else mattered.
On the other hand, Bai Yu was stunned at this moment, going crazy in his mind. What a joke, what do you mean you have no such intention?
Since you have no such intention, why didn’t you tell me? I went to such lengths to win people over, wasn’t it so that the grassroots war could end faster?
Good heavens, now you’re telling me you have no such intention? Then what does that make me? Doesn’t that make me a clown?
Then he let out a light breath, cursing inwardly:
“Alright, Bibi Dong, you’re something! Since you won’t unify it, then I will! Even if I, Bai Yu, jump off the central mountain in Spirit City, I absolutely cannot be a clown!”
After a moment of internal grumbling, Bai Yu lightly coughed, trying to maintain a calm expression, and said placidly:
“Ahem, alright, it was my own idea to unify the continent. After so many years of traveling, I found that there are simply too many political powers on the continent.”
“Various kingdoms and duchies are rampant, with a different policy in each place, and the number of nobles is large, with great privileges, making commoners’ lives difficult.”
“So I plan to unify the continent, overturn and reorganize all of this, reduce the number and privileges of nobles, and abolish all kingdoms and duchies!”
Bibi Dong blinked, her small mouth slightly agape as she looked at Bai Yu. According to what she had thought before, this lazy guy, upon hearing that she wasn’t planning to unify the continent, might just give up completely.
She had only intended to tease him, after all, Bai Yu had been so dedicated and diligent precisely for her obsession.
So even if not for herself, for Bai Yu, she had to see this through.
But she hadn’t expected that her teasing would lead to such a big development!
Although it was most likely a case of being forced into action, the fact that he could say it proved that Bai Yu had always had plans for the unification of the continent.
“Since that’s the case, then in the next two days, write down what’s on your mind. I will unify the continent according to your method. After all, I am your teacher, and I will help you realize your ideas!”
Bai Yu shook his head. He had also figured it out now why Bibi Dong would say she had no intention of unifying; it was all about obsession, all Gang Zi’s fault!
“No, if Teacher you don’t have this idea, then Spirit Hall is best not to directly intervene.”
“As a transcendent existence on the continent, it can show favoritism, but personally entering the fray is actually inappropriate!”
“Because Spirit Hall is a religious force, once it personally enters the fray, it will cause resentment from most people, leading to a joint boycott of Spirit Hall, and it will also cause internal discord within Spirit Hall.”
“Before, I thought Teacher you wanted to be the Empress, so I never mentioned these things.”
“But now that you don’t want to, Spirit Hall should still remain aloof. It can be biased or even help, but there’s no need to actively join the game.”
Bibi Dong’s pupils trembled. Bai Yu’s line of thinking, to be honest, she hadn’t considered, but after listening, she realized that Bai Yu was truly right!
Spirit Hall was a religious force that worshipped gods. Once it established an Empire, it would cause resentment from all forces on the continent.
If Spirit Hall merely supported one side, then it wouldn’t matter; other forces, as long as they felt it had nothing to do with them, would be eager to watch the show!
Moreover, religious forces could exist for a long time, but an Empire might not. Once Spirit Hall became the Spirit Empire, no one knew how long it could exist.
“Then without Spirit Hall’s people, what do you plan to do? Directly conquer a kingdom, and then slowly proceed?”
Bai Yu chuckled and waved his hand, saying:
“How slow would that be? Don’t we have a ready-made Empire foundation waiting to be inherited?”
“When Xue’er inherits the Heaven Dou throne, then Spirit Hall will support Heaven Dou to unify the continent!”
“Once everything settles, then, leveraging the momentum of unification, we will extensively purge those nobles, abolish the kingdom and duchy system, and establish a new system. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?”
