While Qian Renxue was working hard to gain Bibi Dong's acceptance, there were two other places deeply affected by these events, almost as much as Bibi Dong herself.
In the Divine Realm, which was supposed to be incomparably beautiful and full of sacred energy, there was one exception—the Rakshasa God's Temple, shrouded in evil and gloom.
At this moment, the furious roar of the Rakshasa God echoed inside: "How is this possible? Bibi Dong's Rakshasa God affinity has actually decreased!"
The Rakshasa God's divine position was very special—not only did it require passing the Rakshasa Nine Trials, but the inheritor's nature had to match the position. The more evil, the quicker the fusion. The less evil, the slower—this was why, in the original work, Bibi Dong started her divine trials years before Tang San and Qian Renxue, but became a god later than them.
The God of Asura also noticed this. As the overseer of the Divine Realm's order, he monitored all divine inheritances. Everything had to follow the rules, though he himself didn't always follow them and sometimes bent them for friends. But for the Rakshasa God, he was extremely strict—after all, Rakshasa had seriously offended him, so he was determined to make things difficult within the rules.
If the Rakshasa dared to help Bibi Dong cheat on her trials, he'd show up with his Asura Sword.
"Haha! Excellent, truly excellent! My inheritor is using this method to interfere with the Rakshasa God's trials. Only you could've thought of it—despicable, shameless, I like it!" The God of Asura laughed heartily, appreciating Tianlin even more. This method was completely within the rules—Tianlin didn't interfere directly, he just wanted to reconcile a mother and daughter, which was a good deed.
Besides, the one interfering was Qian Renxue, the Angel God's heiress. If Rakshasa wanted to settle scores, go find the Angel God—it had nothing to do with the Asura.
Now, the God of Asura was even tempted to move his temple next door to the Rakshasa God, just to mock him daily. After all, Rakshasa couldn't do anything about it.
Because of Tang Chen, the God of Asura had been angry at Rakshasa for nearly a century. Today, he finally felt vindicated—he had chosen the right inheritor.
At the same time, in the human world's Rakshasa secret realm, in a gloomy place, there was a large barrier at the center, where Bibi Dong cultivated and absorbed evil energy. At the center of the barrier was a pearl, similar in appearance to Tianlin's Holy Spirit Pearl.
The difference was that three-quarters of this pearl was shrouded in a nauseating aura, terrifying to behold.
Bibi Dong had obtained this pearl by accident. She couldn't use its power, but found that cultivating with it gathered evil energy several times faster—it was a priceless treasure for her.
At this moment, a pitch-black ghostly shadow beside the pearl was losing its temper, because the evil aura covering three-quarters of the bead was visibly shrinking.
"What on earth is going on? Why is Bibi Dong's evil intent dropping so quickly?"
The ghost looked down and saw its once-solid body starting to fade and become transparent from the legs up. At this rate, it would soon disappear.
"Damn it, damn it—I won't disappear, never! I must find out what's happening. If you try to be good, I'll drag you back into the abyss!"
While Spirit Hall and even the Divine Realm were being thrown into chaos by Tianlin's small action, the instigator himself was calmly waking up in his room at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
During the period when Qian Renxue was working hard for Bibi Dong's approval, he was busy returning with the blacksmiths to the sect.
On their way back, they happened to run into the three perverted: Bu Le, E Kao, and Tian Ya.
Because of Bai Chenxiang and Ning Rongrong, they set their sights on Tianlin's group, only to be easily defeated.
Worse, they all became sacrifices to Bai Chenxiang's Waterfall and Water Chant—two Soul Emperors and one Soul King, all killed by her swift assault.
This made Bai He see the path ahead more clearly. As soon as they arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he took his granddaughter to visit Sword Douluo Chen Xin, hoping Bai Chenxiang could become his disciple and learn swordsmanship.
Speed alone, without exquisite sword skills, is not enough to fully wield a divine weapon.
Chen Xin originally didn't want to take on more disciples, but on Ning Fengzhi's suggestion, he agreed. Of course, not as a direct disciple, but as a named disciple.
Ning Fengzhi wanted to reassure the Speed Clan, since Bai He was related to Tang Hao, and he would be in charge of the sect's intelligence in the future. That department couldn't have untrustworthy people, or a single wrong piece of information could spell disaster.
For example, if they'd misjudged the timing of the Soul Hunting operation and were unprepared, they might have lost terribly.
As the saying goes: "Don't doubt the ones you use, don't use the ones you doubt."
But Bai He was the continent's top scout—too valuable to waste. So Ning Fengzhi worked to tighten Bai He's ties with the sect.
On the Douluo Continent, master-apprentice bonds can be closer than blood ties. If Bai Chenxiang became Chen Xin's disciple and Tianlin's junior sister, Bai He would fully devote himself. After all, no matter how close he was to Tang Hao, nothing was closer than his own granddaughter.
Chen Xin was very responsible—even for a named disciple, he wouldn't neglect her. He spent several days adapting his Seven Kill Sword style, creating a set of sword techniques for assassination and stealth, with both dual and single sword methods, suitable for the entire Speed Clan. He allowed Bai Chenxiang to teach it to her clan.
Thus, Bai He was completely won over, and the entire Speed Clan joined the Intelligence Hall under Yin Yang, responsible for the sect's intelligence gathering—a department that would one day become the continent's intelligence hub, from which no one could escape.
The Breaking Clan joined the Medicine Hall, led by Dugu Bo. Since Dugu Bo didn't manage affairs, Tianlin had been the real leader—but now he handed it fully over to Yang Wudi, who was delighted, as it was his passion.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect then established a fifth hall—the Refining Hall. The official elder in charge was the newly promoted Title Douluo, Dragon Duke, but the actual manager was the divine craftsman Lou Gao.
This would be the future birthplace of divine weapons.
After surviving the Soul Hunting crisis that should have nearly wiped them out, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's luck soared, and no one could stop their explosive growth!
