The clamor of the banquet gradually faded, and as the night deepened, the glazed lanterns outside the hall lit up one after another with brilliant radiance.
After the banquet concluded, Poison Immortal and Long Aotian followed closely behind Xu Tianhao, heading together to Haoyu Palace.
As early as half a month ago, Xu Tianhao had instructed the palace attendants to make proper arrangements, preparing a secluded and elegant independent courtyard for Poison Immortal in advance.
The furnishings in the room were simple yet elegant, with all the necessary items for cultivation properly placed, enough for Poison Immortal to focus on his meditation and guide his cultivation here in peace.
As for Long Aotian's living arrangements, Xu Tianhao was even more thoughtful, placing his room directly next to the residence of the six youngsters; being only a few steps away, it was extremely convenient for communication and cultivating together.
With Long Aotian's formal joining, the original six-person team consisting of Xu Tianhao, Xu Tianzhen, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, Ye Guyi, and Nana officially expanded into a Seven-Person Squad with top-tier combat power and talent.
This team of genius Spirit Masters, a collection rarely seen in a hundred years within the Sun Moon Empire or even the entire continent, was now officially formed.
Every member of the Seven-Person Squad was a one-in-a-ten-thousand chosen child of heaven; their collective strength could already be called the ceiling for their age group.
The strength of the Seven-Person Squad is as follows:
Xu Tianzhen, Spirit: Sun, Level 27 two-ring Spirit Grandmaster.
Xiao Hongchen, Spirit: Three-Legged Golden Toad, Level 25 two-ring Spirit Grandmaster.
Long Aotian, Spirit: Body, Level 25 two-ring Spirit Grandmaster.
Meng Hongchen, Spirit: Vermilion Eye Ice Toad, Level 23 two-ring Spirit Grandmaster.
Ye Guyi, Spirit: Holy Angel, Level 23 two-ring Spirit Grandmaster.
Nana, Spirit: Ghost, Level 23 two-ring Spirit Grandmaster.
Xu Tianhao, Spirit: Sun Moon Divine Pupils, Level 18 one-ring Spirit Master.
In the Seven-Person Squad, except for Xu Tianhao who only had a one-ring cultivation, the other six had all broken through to the two-ring Spirit Grandmaster realm, each exceptionally gifted and possessing their own unique strengths.
Currently, Xu Tianhao was only seven years old, having just awakened his Spirit a year ago; he was at the age where a little Spirit Master was just beginning to grow.
The other six members were all young boys and girls in their early teens, their minds and cultivation already having taken initial shape.
Once this Seven-Person Squad of extreme talent assembled, the cultivation atmosphere within Haoyu Palace was instantly ignited to the peak.
Every member was a genius in their respective field, usually treated like stars surrounding the moon, and each harbored their own pride and backbone.
They gathered here due to Xu Tianhao's charismatic personality and top-tier talent, yet they were also unwilling to fall behind others on the path of cultivation.
There was no comparison, no jealousy—only a healthy, fiery competitive atmosphere quietly spreading among the seven.
The little ones were no longer children who had just awakened their Spirits and were ignorant of the path of a Spirit Master.
Now, they deeply understood the importance of increasing spirit power and realized that talent could only truly shine when paired with unremitting effort.
In this atmosphere of chasing each other and mutual refinement, the growth speed of the Seven-Person Squad seemed to have an invisible acceleration button pressed.
Obvious progress could be seen every day, and a rapid transformation of spirit power could be felt every month.
Even the well-traveled Poison Immortal couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder at the cultivation drive of these youngsters.
He couldn't help but sigh that the future Spirit Master's world of the continent was destined to be dominated by these children.
...
In the God Realm, the Sea God Temple towered majestically, shimmering with a faint blue light under the brilliant radiance of the God Realm.
In the center of the temple, a towering figure stood quietly, draped in a magnificent Sea God robe, his deep blue eyes as profound as the vast and boundless ocean.
With just one glance, one could feel a majesty and depth that seemed capable of piercing through infinite void.
This person was none other than the currently famous and rising Sea God, Tang San.
The current Sea God Tang San also held the dual God Positions of Asura God, holding a pivotal status in the God Realm and controlling supreme power and strength.
Seven days ago, a disturbance appeared in the Douluo Plane.
Standing on the temple's viewing platform, his gaze crossed the layered sea of clouds of the God Realm, looking far off in the direction of the Douluo Continent.
Time passed minute by minute, and Tang San stood quietly just like that.
After a long while, a strange look suddenly flashed in his eyes, a flicker of something churning within those deep blue depths.
"Has the providence of the Douluo Continent undergone a change?" Tang San's voice rang out low.
As his words fell, strange halos rippled like water across his magnificent Sea God robe.
Amidst the flickering light and shadow, the gloom that had briefly flashed in his eyes was quietly hidden.
He frowned slightly and muttered to himself, "Even after all this, the plane consciousness of Douluo is still putting up senseless resistance; it truly has a way to seek its own death."
Since inheriting the God Position and ascending to the God Realm, Tang San had regarded the Douluo Continent as his personal forbidden fruit, not allowing others to touch it.
He monitored every move of the Douluo Continent at all times; over the past ten thousand years (ten thousand years on the Douluo Continent), he had arranged many methods.
According to his expectations, it wouldn't be long before the Douluo Continent completely became something in the palm of his hand, the Tang Clan's back garden, with everything under his control.
In his previous observations, the providence of the Douluo Plane had always been concentrated on the Douluo Continent, specifically within the Star Luo Empire.
In fact, to ensure that the providence developed in the direction he desired,
He had even secretly intervened, guiding the providence toward the line of his former Boss Dai, the current War God Dai Mubai.
Although the current White Tiger Dukes Mansion of the Star Luo Empire was not Dai Mubai's direct line, but rather the line of Dai Mubai's elder brother from ten thousand years ago,
Regardless, they were still considered his own people, objects that could be trusted and supported.
However, at this moment, a brand-new star of providence had suddenly risen from the Sun Moon Empire, which had collided with the Douluo Continent four thousand years ago.
Two stars of providence were rising simultaneously, forming a bizarre standoff.
What made Tang San even more surprised and dissatisfied was that the star of providence located in the Star Luo Empire, which he had secretly manipulated, was dimming at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Meanwhile, the star of providence in the Sun Moon Empire was becoming increasingly brilliant and bright at a terrifying speed, its light almost about to break through the sky.
Tang San instantly understood that this was undoubtedly a self-rescue method of the Douluo Continent's plane spirit.
The plane spirit had sensed his intentions and was unwilling to let the Douluo Continent completely fall into his pocket.
That was why it used such a method, attempting to break his layout.
Thinking of this, Tang San couldn't help but cold-snort, his eyes filled with disdain:
"Did you think you could hide from me with such petty tricks? You really don't know the meaning of death; you have a way to seek your own death!"
He stared intently at that child of fortune rising in the Sun Moon Empire, a look of confident composure appearing on his face.
The Sun Moon Continent had already fused with the Douluo Continent, so it was part of the Douluo Continent.
In Tang San's view, no matter how the plane spirit struggled, the Mandate of Heaven always remained in Douluo; this was an unchangeable fact.
"Though this child was born in Sun Moon, he can also be fated with my Tang Clan," he said softly, already having a new plan in mind.
Then, Tang San's gaze turned toward the direction of the War God Temple:
"Mubai, the plane consciousness is causing trouble, so your White Tiger line will have to suffer a bit."
Now that the child of fortune of the Star Luo Empire had lost the blessing of providence, there was no point in continuing to support him; Tang San decisively abandoned that plan.
However, even a child of fortune who had lost their providence was still much stronger than an ordinary person, having once been favored by the plane after all.
So he didn't completely ignore him, but rather treated him as a chess piece that might have a miraculous effect at a critical moment.
While Tang San was lost in thought, a soft call came from the side: "Third Brother."
The voice was gentle and pleasant, carrying a hint of intimacy and concern.
The next moment, a figure walked slowly from behind and naturally took Tang San's arm.
The newcomer was Xiao Wu, dressed in a light pink long dress that outlined her graceful and lithe figure.
Her waist was slender enough to be held in one hand, perfectly highlighting her exquisite physique.
Her jet-black, shiny long hair was tied into a long scorpion braid that swayed gently with her steps, and her entire being exuded a unique charm.
Xiao Wu asked softly, "Third Brother, are you focusing on the affairs of the Douluo Continent again?"
There was a hint of heartache in her voice, knowing that Tang San had always been "exhausting his mind and heart" for the affairs of the Douluo Continent and the God Realm.
Facing Xiao Wu, Tang San's eyes instantly became tender, and a warm smile appeared on his face:
"It has been four thousand years since the Sun Moon Continent and the Douluo Continent collided, and now a new star of providence has been born in the Sun Moon Empire."
Xiao Wu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and then said, "Since Sun Moon and Douluo have fused and are now inseparable, this opportunity should belong to Douluo."
As expected of a husband and wife, Xiao Wu's way of thinking was already completely molded into Tang San's shape.
Tang San didn't even need to speak; she had already voiced what was in his heart.
Tang San nodded, his eyes firm: "Of course, this child is fated with us. Now that Destruction has been trying to split power with me, it's time to inject some new strength into our faction."
In the power struggle of the God Realm, Tang San deeply understood the importance of expanding his own forces.
And this suddenly appearing new star of providence was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity.
To be able to surpass the child of fortune he had arranged was enough to prove how much massive providence the plane had poured into this individual.
As long as he held this new child of fortune in his hands, controlling the Douluo Plane would also become much easier.
In Tang San's eyes, the plane spirit of the Douluo Plane wasn't saving itself, but rather trying to be clever only to end up worse off!
Listening to Tang San's words, Xiao Wu's small mouth opened slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes: "Third Brother, you mean... this new star has hope of ascending to the God Realm?"
Tang San nodded, took Xiao Wu's hand, and squeezed it gently as a sign of reassurance:
"Hasn't Xiao Qi been clamoring to go out and play? This time, let her go down to the lower realm to gain some experience."
There was a hint of doting in his voice, but he also had his own considerations.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wu didn't immediately refuse, but a look of worry appeared on her face: "Xiao Qi is still just a child..."
As a mother, she was naturally reluctant to let her daughter go down to the lower realm alone, worried that she would encounter danger and difficulties.
Tang San gently patted Xiao Wu's hand and comforted her, "Xiao Wu, as a God Realm Enforcer, I cannot easily interfere in the affairs of the lower realm."
"But if I let my daughter go to guide this new star onto the correct path of growth, it should be within the bounds of reason, shouldn't it?"
He patiently explained his plan, his eyes full of confidence.
Hearing this, Xiao Wu instantly understood her Third Brother's meaning.
Since the Mandate of Heaven was in Douluo, and since they wanted to add fresh blood to their faction,
Then, properly guiding this child of fortune was undoubtedly crucial.
Furthermore, if Xiao Qi went down to the lower realm and properly educated this new star from the Sun Moon Continent, it could not only cultivate feelings between the two but also make this new star completely tied to them.
In the future, it would also be perfectly reasonable to seek a God Position for Xiao Qi; this was simply a strategy that killed two birds with one stone.
Moreover... the inheritance of the God of Love seemed to be on the Sun Moon Continent, which could be used exactly to help Xiao Qi educate that Sun Moon new star...
Thinking of the key to the problem, a smile returned to Xiao Wu's face: "Third Brother is still the most thoughtful, but I'm still a bit worried about Xiao Qi."
Although Xiao Wu understood Tang San's plan, her maternal worry was still difficult to completely eliminate.
Tang San comforted her again: "If young people don't experience wind and rain, how can they see the rainbow?"
"Don't worry, I have arranged everything."
Tang San's words were firm and powerful, slightly easing the worry in Xiao Wu's heart.
In Tang San's heart, this plan was foolproof. He believed that whether it was for the new star of the Douluo Continent or for his own daughter Xiao Qi,
This would be an experience of extraordinary significance and would also bring a new turning point to his layout in the God Realm.
