Chapter 29 The Spirit Hall Elders' Meeting
"High Priest, is the Holy Maiden really at level ninety-seven in soul power?"
The three offerings looked at Qian Daoliu, eager to get their verification.
Qian Daoliu nodded, confirming Jin E's statement:
"The golden crocodile is right!"
"A little over a month ago, the Saintess's soul power level had already reached level ninety-seven."
"The reason why the Holy Maiden leveled up so quickly is probably related to the fact that she possesses twin martial souls."
"After reaching the Title Douluo level, you can quickly increase your soul power by adding soul rings to your second martial soul."
"And that is the advantage of having twin martial souls."
"That's why the saintess's soul power has increased so rapidly."
"And she devoured Ji'er's body and soul." Qian Daoliu didn't say this aloud, but silently added it in his mind.
Otherwise, if the truth were leaked and outsiders learned the details, it would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Spirit Hall.
Qiandaoliu does not allow any mistakes.
"No wonder we two brothers couldn't see through the Holy Maiden; it turns out her level of understanding is already above ours."
Qianjun and the Demon-Slaying Brothers exchanged a glance, both inwardly marveling, "Twin Martial Souls, terrifying indeed!"
"In that case, the Holy Maiden's strength is sufficient," the Third Elder said.
The others also started to discuss it.
"Alright." Qian Daoliu raised his hand to stop the murmurs. "Now, regarding the matter of electing the Holy Maiden Bibi Dong to succeed as the new Pope, the temple's priests, please raise your hands to vote. Those who agree, please raise your hands."
After speaking, Qian Daoliu was the first to raise his hand.
The second honorific, Golden Crocodile, also raised his hand. Seeing that the two elders had taken the lead, the other honorifics also raised their hands to indicate their agreement.
As for the elders of the Elders' Hall, they only have the right to listen and offer opinions, but not the right to vote.
The voting rules of the Council of Elders depend on the relationship between the Sanctuary, the Papal Palace, and the Presbyterian Palace.
Of the three, the Hall of Offerings holds the highest status.
Because the shrine is a temple dedicated to angels and gods.
It is also the place where all Title Douluos of level 96 and above of the Spirit Hall live in seclusion and cultivate.
These titled Douluo are also elders of the Spirit Hall, but they possess a unique title exclusive to the Spirit Hall, above Super Douluo—Official.
Geographically, the Hall of Offerings is located atop the central mountain of Wuhun City, standing next to the Douluo Hall, which serves as a symbol.
The one in charge is Qian Daoliu, one of the three Limit Douluo, whose cultivation has reached the limit of level 99, and who is known as the invincible Grand Elder of the Sky. He is also the former Pope of the Spirit Hall.
All the elders of the Presbyterian Church are under the jurisdiction of the Papal Palace. The Papal Palace does not usually handle affairs, but it has the power to make decisions and appoint and dismiss the Pope, and its status is above that of the Papal Palace.
The Papal Palace is the residence of the Pope, the supreme ruler of the Spirit Hall, and the place where he handles government affairs.
The Pope is in charge of all affairs of the Spirit Hall. When the Hall of Offerings does not concern itself with worldly matters, the Pope's Hall also oversees the affairs of the Hall of Elders.
Located next to the Papal Palace, the Elders' Hall holds a position second only to the Papal Palace, and is responsible for assisting the Pope in ruling all affairs of the Spirit Hall.
Only titled Douluo within the Spirit Hall are qualified to join.
In addition, the Elder Hall also has some honorary elders, but they do not belong to the Spirit Hall.
Based on its status as the Hall of Worship, the Papal Hall, and the Hall of Presbyterians.
The Spirit Hall stipulates that the Elders' Council is the highest meeting for reviewing the Spirit Hall's decrees, and only the Pope and the Grand Elder have the authority to convene it.
In the council of elders, only the pope and the major deities have the right to vote, while the elders of the Presbyterian Church only have the right to listen and offer opinions, but not the right to vote.
The Pope and the Grand Elder each have three votes, while the other elders each have one vote.
…………
The council of elders convened by Grand Master Sendo-ryu concluded with a unanimous vote in favor of the decision regarding the selection of the pope.
The meeting ultimately decided that Saint Bibidon would be formally appointed as the new pope.
The Pope's coronation ceremony will be held two months from now in the square in front of the Papal Palace, and all residents of Wuhun City are welcome to attend.
In addition, the Spirit Hall sent invitations to all major spirit master forces across the continent, inviting them to send representatives to attend the ceremony.
The Haotian Sect is naturally not qualified to receive an invitation, and even if they were invited, they would not come.
After discussions were completed regarding the selection of the pope and the various matters concerning the coronation ceremony.
Qian Daoliu fixed his gaze on Yue Guan and Gui Mei, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Noticing the Grand Elder's gaze fixed on them, Yue Guan and Gui Mei felt extremely uneasy, as if they were sitting on pins and needles. Suddenly, they felt the chair beneath them getting hot, while their backs felt cold and uncomfortable.
"Is the Grand Master planning to settle scores later?"
Yue Guanxiu's lips were pressed tightly together, his heart filled with bitterness, but he dared not show any expression.
His ghostly figure was hidden in a black robe, his expression obscured, but his stiff movements revealed his inner tension.
"Moon Gate, Ghostly Appearance," Qian Daoliu shouted.
"exist!"
The ghostly figure of Yue Guan quickly stood up and answered loudly, not daring to hesitate for a moment.
"You two will continue to serve as elders of the Papal Palace, at the Pope's behest. You will also assist the new Pope in handling state affairs," Qian Daoliu instructed.
"Yes! Great Master!"
The ghostly figure at the Moon Gate respectfully accepted the order.
Upon hearing that Qian Daoliu had only asked them to assist the new pope, the two breathed a sigh of relief and exchanged glances privately, as if they could both see the relief in each other's eyes.
…………
After the meeting of elders.
Qian Daoliu appeared in front of the Holy Maiden's Palace.
At this moment, there was not a soul in front of the Temple of the Holy Maiden; the original maids and guards of the Temple of the Holy Maiden had long been dismissed.
Qian Daoliu did not deliberately conceal his aura, his purpose being to inform Bibi Dong of his arrival.
Not wanting to miss even a second of Bibi Dong's diligent cultivation, she suddenly opened her eyes the moment Qian Daoliu appeared.
She exited the meditative state.
"Since you're here, come in," Bibi Dong said indifferently.
Then, Qian Daoliu walked into the Holy Maiden Hall with his hands behind his back; it was his first time entering this place.
Qian Daoliu casually glanced around.
He found the interior of the Temple of the Virgin Mary to be simply and coolly decorated, without any extreme luxury or extravagance, unlike his son who was fond of grandiose achievements.
Qian Daoliu couldn't help but express much more praise for Bi Dong, and felt even more satisfied:
"You're talented and hardworking, but alas... well, consider the papacy your compensation. As long as you don't go too far, I won't interfere too much. And Xiaoxue... I hope you and your mother can reconcile. Oh well, let nature take its course."
At this moment, Bibi Dong sat on the couch in the hall, her jade-like hand gently pinching her brow. She didn't look at Qian Daoliu, and asked in a detached voice:
"What brings the High Priest here in person?"
Ignoring Bibi Dong's coldness, Qian Daoliu revealed the purpose of his visit:
Two things.
"The first thing, starting today, is the lifting of your imprisonment."
"Regarding your succession as Pope, the Council of Elders has approved it. The Pope's coronation ceremony is scheduled for two months from now, to be held in the square in front of the Papal Palace. Be prepared. I hope you can lead the Spirit Hall to an even more glorious future."
