Chapter 6: The Upper Three Sects and Spirit Hall

Far away, thousands of miles from the epicenter.

In the outskirts of the Heaven Dou Empire's capital, Heaven Dou City, lies the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Fortress.

As one of the Upper Three Sects alongside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Clear Sky Sect, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect boasts profound heritage. The sect houses two Titled Douluo, fifteen Soul Douluo, and at its peak controlled over five thousand soul masters.

Even the Spirit Hall, a soul master organization spanning the entire continent, held them in high regard and cautious respect.

At this moment, within the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Fortress.

A refined middle-aged man, appearing to be in his thirties, with jade-like features and a cascade of black hair, gazed distantly toward Notting City.

He was Ning Fengzhi, the current Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, a Level 79 Soul Sage, reputed as the continent's foremost support-type soul master.

Beside Ning Fengzhi were two elderly men. One was also dressed in white, with silvery hair meticulously combed, resembling a sharp, unmatched sword; the other elder wore black-purple armor, with a gaunt face and large frame.

"The sky has turned golden..."

"That's the feeling of soul power... someone is releasing soul power! I can scarcely imagine how strong this person's soul power must be! Even Spirit Hall's great worshipper, Qian Daoliu, might not match this..."

"Qian Daoliu is a Level 99 Peerless Douluo!"

Standing with his hands behind his back, Ning Fengzhi spoke with deep concern, "Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, we must also prepare..."

**Three hundred miles east of Heaven Dou City.**

In the towering mountains.

Atop a perilous peak, a middle-aged man, standing two meters tall with a broad back, stood alongside five white-haired elders, gazing at the horizon.

"It shouldn't be man-made; no human could possess such powerful soul power! Not even the old sect master!"

"Perhaps it's some mystical treasure or divine artifact emerging. A thousand years ago, when the Asura God's heritage site, the Slaughter City, appeared, it too shocked the continent."

"Sadly, the old sect master insisted on seeking the Asura God's heritage, resulting in his disappearance for decades. Otherwise, how could our Clear Sky Sect fear the Spirit Hall, forcing us into seclusion?"

"Hmph, Tang Hao is the real culprit. If it weren't for him..."

"Silence! Regardless of his faults, Tang Hao is my brother, the Clear Sky Douluo!"

**Meanwhile.**

**Southeast of the Heaven Dou Empire.**

At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's domain, True Dragon Mountain.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has been established for millennia, leading the Upper Three Sects in terms of land and the number of direct clan members.

Although top-tier experts are currently fewer, their overall strength is formidable.

Atop the sect's main peak, a commanding elder glanced at the sky, now entirely crimson-gold, then turned away.

As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan feared no challenge, regardless of the pretender!

**Spirit City.**

As the headquarters of the Spirit Hall, Spirit City is located at the intersection of the two great empires, with one of the soul master world's most revered halls, the Pope's Palace, situated here.

The Pope's Palace, built against the mountain, stands atop the peak, acclaimed as the most magnificent structure on the Douluo Continent, and a sacred place in the hearts of many soul masters.

At this moment, on the high platform of the Pope's Palace, several imposing figures gazed at the distant golden sky.

Leading them was a woman.

Her skin was fair, her face flawless, her figure tall, clad in a luxurious purple robe with golden patterns, wearing a purple crown encrusted with jewels, and holding a scepter inlaid with purple gemstones. Her presence was so noble it commanded reverence.

She was Bibi Dong, the current supreme ruler of the Spirit Hall!

Beside her stood several high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall.

"What powerful soul power, yet it seems more like natural, ownerless soul power than that of an individual..."

Bibi Dong murmured, her beautiful eyes emitting a black-purple glow.

"Pope Your Majesty, this golden anomaly seems to originate from the Fasno Province in the southwest of the Heaven Dou Empire," an elder in black armor, draped in a gray robe, and sporting a goatee, respectfully reported.

"The Heaven Dou Empire..."

At this, Bibi Dong lowered her head slightly.

Mentioning the Heaven Dou Empire reminded her of her daughter, Qian Renxue, who was undercover in the Heaven Dou royal family.

With a bitter smile, Bibi Dong raised her head again, her eyes now filled with determination. She struck her scepter against the ground, her soft voice imbued with endless authority:

"Summon Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan to accompany Saintess Hu Liena to the Fasno Province of the Heaven Dou Empire to investigate this matter!"

**Star Luo Empire.**

The capital, Star Luo City.

Star Luo City, located in the central-north of the Star Luo Empire, stands opposite Heaven Dou City, two of the most dazzling jewels on the Douluo Continent.

At this moment, atop a high tower within the Star Luo Palace, a tall man gazed at the golden sky.

The man appeared to be in his thirties, with well-defined features and deep-set eyes.

His face was somewhat gaunt, yet he exuded a metallic quality, especially in his bright blue eyes that gleamed like a great blade, evoking fear.

He was the current emperor of the Star Luo Empire, Dai Tianfeng.

"Decree the Royal Shadows to immediately proceed to the Heaven Dou Empire and uncover the truth!"

---

**As the Heaven Dou royalty, the Slaughter City, Sea God Island, the Lower Four Sects among the Seven Great Sects, and various hidden families turned their gaze skyward.**

Countless hidden undercurrents began to surge at this moment...
