"The Clear Sky Sect has indeed made their move, and not just one Title Douluo." Bibi Dong's voice revealed no emotion. "Huyan Zhen... Hmph, the Elephant Armor Sect really knows how to pick the right time to curry favor. Over at Sea God Island, the movement is even bigger, almost completely unconcealed."
"The allure of God Inheritance is enough to drive any power to madness," Dai Chengfeng said slowly. "Judging by the situation, the Ice God and Sea God Inheritances have likely entered a substantive stage, beginning to screen or attract compatible individuals within range. As for the other few rumored locations, even if the movements are not as great as these two, they may not be baseless rumors either."
Bibi Dong's fingertips tapped on the armrest, making a rhythmic light sound. Her gaze fell upon another secret report spread out before her; it was the latest intelligence regarding the Great Star Dou Forest.
"How effective were the people we sent to cause trouble for Tang San?"
"It had some effect," Dai Chengfeng answered. "The 'Dark Night' squad successfully triggered two medium-scale soul beast tides. Although they resolved them, it obviously slowed their progress and consumed quite a bit. The 'borrowing a knife to kill' news was also released; at least three batches of capable desperados have been attracted and are searching for their tracks. However... that kid Tang San is indeed sharp, and the Golden Iron Triangle combination by his side plus that 100,000-year soul beast rabbit have extremely strong perception. Wanting to heavily injure them relying on these small tricks is very difficult."
Bibi Dong was not surprised. If Tang San were that easy to deal with, he would not have become a major threat to her.
"As for the Great Star Dou Forest, have our people discovered any signs similar to 'divine miracles'?"
"There are no clear reports for now. However, the energy field in the core Life Lake area has been abnormally active and chaotic; our scouts cannot go deep. Considering Tang San and their destination, the probability is not low."
Bibi Dong closed her eyes; various information intertwined rapidly in her mind. The Extreme North, the Vast Sea, the Great Star Dou Forest... The gods' pieces seemed to have fallen one after another. How should Spirit Hall make its move? Should it watch the changes, or actively enter the game to compete?
The Raksha God's inheritance was filled with evil and uncertainty, absolutely not a good choice. Although the connection between the Tears of the Wind God and her had deepened, was the Wind God Inheritance complete? Where was it located? Had it also manifested in the world?
"Chengfeng, regarding the Wind God Inheritance, are there any more specific clues in your memories?" she asked, opening her eyes.
Dai Chengfeng pondered for a moment and shook his head. "My inheritance memories are severely damaged; specific information about the Wind God's divine seat is very vague. I only remember that the Wind God's divine seat seemed to undergo some incidents in ancient times; it did not perish, but the inheritance might be hidden or scattered. The Tears of the Wind God is one of the core tokens. Its approval of you now might be an opportunity. But to find the complete inheritance location, I fear we need an opportunity, or... wait for it to awaken further and guide us."
Bibi Dong touched the necklace on her chest; the gem was warm and smooth, with a halo circulating within. Wait? What she disliked most was passive waiting.
"Since inheritances have appeared in multiple places, we cannot just watch idly." A trace of determination flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. "The information Ghost Leopard and Spirit Kite brought back is very valuable. Transmit orders:"
"First, dispatch additional elite soul masters specializing in Ice and Water attributes, led by an Elder, to secretly establish observation outposts on the periphery of the Extreme North. Do not seek to compete, but must master the movements of powers like the Clear Sky Sect and Elephant Armor Sect over there. Record the patterns of the Ice Palace's appearance and information on anyone attempting to approach. If there is an opportunity... seize the chance to create some 'accidents' to cause some obstacles for our old opponents."
"Second, regarding the Vast Sea direction, dispatch some soul masters skilled in naval warfare or possessing Sea Soul Beast martial souls to similarly establish maritime observation points. The Sea God Island inheritance movement is too large; there must be many watchers. We just need to blend in among them to collect intelligence. Focus on recording which powers have sent ships or strong individuals, especially... whether there are any figures from the Star Luo Empire."
"Third, regarding the Great Star Dou Forest direction, increase manpower and strengthen peripheral monitoring. Tang San's group remains a key target. At the same time, attempt to locate ancient ruins or energy anomaly points within the forest that may be related to 'Nature' or 'Life' attributes; the scope is not limited to the area they are heading to. Let the scouts carry the latest energy-sensing soul tools."
"Fourth, notify the Hall of Worship." When Bibi Dong mentioned this, her tone was slightly cold. "Send a copy of the intelligence from the Extreme North and the Vast Sea to Qian Daoliu. Hasn't he always been pursuing the Angel God's oracle? Now that the inheritances of various gods have manifested, let's see how he deals with it." This was a test, and also a case of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf. If Qian Daoliu and the Hall of Worship turned their attention to external God Inheritances because of this, the pressure on her would be much smaller.
Dai Chengfeng quickly noted this down and asked, "What about us? Should we attempt to contact or search for a certain God's inheritance?"
Bibi Dong stood up and walked to the window of the secret room, looking out at the grand architecture of Spirit Hall City and the distant horizon.
"God Inheritances involve both risk and opportunity. The Raksha is untrustworthy, and the depths of other gods are unknown. The Tears of the Wind God is currently the clearest clue." She turned around, her eyes firm. "Chengfeng, I need your help. Collect all ancient legends and ruin information related to 'Wind' on the continent as much as possible, especially those involving concepts like 'Speed', 'Freedom', 'Sky', 'Protection', or places where powerful Wind attribute soul masters or suspected divine miracles have appeared in history. We will start from here."
"Alright." Dai Chengfeng agreed without hesitation. "I will utilize some of my special channels and sensing abilities. Additionally, during your daily soul power cultivation, you can try to actively communicate with the Tears of the Wind God using your spiritual power; perhaps there will be more discoveries."
