"Pass the order!"
Bibi Dong's voice, amplified by spirit power, rolled like thunder across Spirit City:
"All who belong to Spirit Hall, whose spirit power has reached Spirit Ancestor or higher and who possess firm will and confidence in their strength, may apply to enter the Rakshasa Secret Realm to cultivate, effective immediately!"
The moment these words rang out, Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters erupted in cheers.
This was a god–tier secret realm!
Even a quarter-hour inside could raise one's dark-attribute affinity by an amount equal to years of bitter training outside.
Yet Bibi Dong's next sentence poured a bucket of ice water over the hopes of outside Spirit Masters hurrying toward Spirit City.
"As for those outside Spirit Hall…"
Bibi Dong's violet eyes narrowed, murderous intent flashing. "Tread one step into Supreme Pontiff Palace grounds and you die without mercy!"
Ridiculous!
Although the Rakshasa Secret Realm could be opened to outsiders, if her mortal enemies—the Two Great Empires or other Sects—used it to grow stronger, wouldn't the Supreme Pontiff end up a laughingstock?
Such self-defeating aid was something Bibi Dong would never allow.
Good fertilizer stays in one's own field; everyone understood that…
Inside the Hall of Worship the atmosphere was calmer than the killing tension of Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Qian Daoliu stood with hands behind his back, gazing through a window at the soaring violet-black pillar of light.
"Gui Mei."
Ghost Douluo's body tensed and he bowed hurriedly. "High Priest."
"Your Spirit is innately yin, practically walking the edge of darkness."
"The Rakshasa Secret Realm holds vast extreme malice and dark energy—perfect nourishment for you."
"Go; don't miss this chance."
…Canglan Academy.
Lin Yuan had barely sat down after arranging defensive arrays at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well when the heavenly screen displayed a new change.
Seeing Bibi Dong's domineering "outsiders forbidden" face, Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing.
"That Bibi Dong sure knows how to calculate."
His gaze shifted to Zhu Zhuqing standing nearby, her black leather hugging her explosive curves.
"The malice and darkness inside the Rakshasa Secret Realm are evil, but if she keeps her heart, they'll temper Zhuqing's Spirit perfectly."
With that thought, Lin Yuan rose and waved her over.
"Zhuqing, stop training."
"Come with me to Spirit Hall."
Zhu Zhuqing blinked, a trace of puzzlement in her cool eyes. "Teacher, why Spirit Hall? Didn't Bibi Dong say outsiders are barred?"
"That was for the weak."
"Rules?"
"Before absolute strength, my word is the rule!"
…Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace square.
Thousands of elite Spirit Hall Spirit Masters had already gathered.
At the square's center, a huge violet-black vortex slowly rotated, emitting terrifying ripples that made hearts tremble.
This was the Rakshasa Secret Realm's entrance!
Seated on a high platform, Bibi Dong watched batches of Spirit Hall Spirit Masters enter, a satisfied smile curling her lips.
Just then, a sharp tearing sound suddenly ripped through the quiet sky.
An undisguised, terrifying pressure descended instantly upon the entire square!
"Who goes there?!"
Yue Guan's face changed drastically as he barked.
But when he saw the white-robed figure step from the spatial rift, the reprimand stuck in his throat; he almost bit his tongue.
"Lin… Lin Yuan?!"
Lin Yuan, bringing Zhu Zhuqing, walked through the air as though on level ground, ignoring the guards with drawn bows, and landed directly at the Rakshasa Secret Realm's entrance.
He lifted his head, swept his gaze over the crowd, and met Bibi Dong atop the high platform.
"Your Holiness, long time no see."
"My disciple also walks the path of darkness; lend me your treasured ground for a few days."
"You don't mind, do you?"
Bibi Dong's face darkened, the corner of her mouth twitching. "Of course, feel free."
Lin Yuan nodded in satisfaction and turned to Zhu Zhuqing:
"Go, Zhuqing."
"Remember—guard your heart."
"Yes! Thank you, teacher!"
Gratitude and resolve flashed in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes; then she flashed into a beam of gloom and plunged without hesitation into the violet-black vortex.
At that instant, golden light blazed once more across the heavenly screen!

[heavenly screen indicates the opportunity's location!]
"Faith power…"
High above the Hall of Worship, Qian Daoliu watched the third gain, a sharp gleam in his aged eyes.
"Pass my Hall of Worship decree!"
"From this day forth, Angel Sanctuary inheritance is open to all Spirit Masters on the continent who meet the holy, light, or fire attribute requirements!"
"As long as they harbor justice and worship the Angel God statue devoutly, they may cultivate within!"
The entire square erupted!
"High Priest is wise!"
"Long live the Angel God!"
He chose differently from Bibi Dong because Heaven could help him gather faith power.
The faith power inside Angel Sanctuary had gone untended for far too long.
That was why he had not used a shred of Angel God Power all these years—he had to save it to open the inheritance for Xiao Xue.
In the square, Lin Yuan watched, the corner of his mouth lifting.
"As expected of Qian Daoliu—still has guts. Time to get Xiao Xue back."
Lin Yuan's figure flickered and vanished from Supreme Pontiff Palace square…
