In a flash, three years flowed by.
In the early morning, Bai Yu opened his eyes and looked at Bibi Dong's sleeping face and the hand holding him, his mouth twitching slightly.
That's right, Bai Yu had evolved, becoming a Bai Yu brand pillow, and now Bibi Dong hugged him to sleep every night.
Although it was very comfortable and soft, Bai Yu didn't like it; being still young, he could be described as 'delicate and powerless'.
Moreover, he couldn't turn over recklessly, otherwise, waking up Bibi Dong might result in a beating package.
The reason was mainly the Domain power of the Hong Ming Knife; the Hong Ming Knife's inherent Domain was filled with a murderous aura and also had the effect of suppressing evil and purifying, so Bai Yu named it 'Qu Xie Domain'.
After two years of hard work, he finally unblocked all his meridians, achieving the circulation of the Great Heavenly Cycle, thereby enabling the intersection of Yin and Yang, creating endless vitality.
The result achieved was that even without cultivating, spirit power continued to circulate and increase within his body at all times.
Every day, he could also draw upon the power of the Lunar and Solar energies for half an hour each, in the morning and evening.
During these two periods, the spirit power conversion speed was extremely fast, equivalent to a full day's efficiency of automatic circulation.
The Lunar and Solar energies also formed a Yin Yang Domain with his own body as the foundation and spirit power as the root, meaning it was a Domain he could release without using his Spirit.
However, because the Hong Ming Knife was Bai Yu's own Spirit and also a part of his body, the Yin Yang Domain also inherently carried a part of the Qu Xie Domain's effects.
The Yin Yang Domain was inherently close to nature; under its release, Bai Yu was like a child of nature, further enhanced by a portion of the Qu Xie Domain's evil-suppressing and purifying effects.
This led to Bibi Dong's eyes lighting up when she saw Bai Yu, unable to extricate herself; even without releasing the Domain, simply being near Bai Yu made her feel a pure and 親和 aura.
Thus, the eight-year-old Bai Yu evolved from a sitting purifier, which he had practiced for two years, into a Bai Yu brand pillow-style calming doll.
"Teacher, are you awake?" Bai Yu asked, looking at Bibi Dong as she opened her eyes.
Seeing Bai Yu's gaze scan her, Bibi Dong's face involuntarily flushed: "Mm, it's time to get up."
Immediately, Bibi Dong got up, picked up her clothes, and went to the changing room.
Such a scene was all too familiar to Bai Yu, who had already experienced it for a year.
He stretched, began to dress and wash up, and looked at himself in the mirror, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.
The nine-year-old Bai Yu had a delicate appearance, a well-proportioned yet masculine physique, and under his flowing short hair were eyes as bright as stars, filled with mystery.
There was just one flaw: his height was barely one and a half meters. He didn't know why; perhaps it was because Blue Silver Grass wasn't a Beast Spirit, so he didn't grow much?
While Bai Yu was still contemplating, Bibi Dong walked over: "Today, I plan to take you to the Elder Palace to nominate you as the Spirit Hall Saint Child."
As Bibi Dong's words fell, Bai Yu's thoughts about his height paused: "Teacher, I'll listen to you, but is it possible? Becoming a Saint Child or Holy Maiden requires merit, and I haven't carried out any Spirit Hall missions yet, so I have no merit at all."
"No need. Your cultivation technique and self-created Spirit Abilities are enough to offset the merit requirements. I believe those old fogeys in the Elder Palace will understand what these mean."
Bibi Dong waved her hand and said calmly.
That's right, these past three years, Bai Yu had not only been unblocking his meridians and attempting to circulate the Great Heavenly Cycle but also trying to create Spirit Abilities based on his martial arts from his previous life.
After all, before unblocking the Great Heavenly Cycle, he could only cultivate for two hours a day, and after unblocking it, only one hour remained.
The efficiency of the meditation method was too low. At first, when Bibi Dong needed it, he would just muddle through, but after evolving into a pillow, the meditation method was completely abandoned.
With so much free time, Bai Yu really did manage to concoct something.
Relying on the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams he drew, he researched a footwork called Spiral Nine Shadows.
And by unblocking the tiny meridians in his hands, he developed the Thirty-Six Routes of Zhe Mei Hand, which included finger techniques, claw techniques, palm techniques, and fist techniques, based on different circulation routes.
Fortunately, this World had unreasonable professions like healing Spirit Masters, where most injuries could be directly healed. It was said that Nine Heart Sea Tang could even regrow severed limbs.
Just half a month ago, Bai Yu compiled his creations into a book.
The pulling movements before unblocking the meridians to form the Great Heavenly Cycle, combined with the meridian circulation routes, as well as the combination movements and routes after unblocking, were drawn into an illustrated book.
The daytime one was named Sun Dance, and the nighttime one was named Moon Dance.
The method for unblocking all meridians and circulating the Great Heavenly Cycle was named Yin Yang Sacrifice.
Considering that some Spirit Masters' Spirits were inherently Yang or Yin, or their aptitude was insufficient, they could also cultivate Sun Dance or Moon Dance separately.
They could also open a single-attribute Great Heavenly Cycle, but it just wouldn't reach the realm of Yin Yang convergence.
And this booklet, which included both cultivation techniques and martial arts, was named "Heaven and Earth Intertwined Yin Yang Rhapsody" by Bai Yu.
Hmm... He didn't like sorrow, whether it was compassion or tragedy, neither was acceptable, so he removed the 'Great Sorrow'!
After compiling it, Bai Yu handed it over to Bibi Dong, letting her decide what to do with it.
Bibi Dong opened the book, her expression changing from relaxed at first, to solemn, and then to a tremor in her pupils, her facial changes quite spectacular.
Bibi Dong asked Bai Yu where the cultivation technique came from, and Bai Yu started spouting his Divinity reincarnation story again, but unfortunately, Bibi Dong didn't believe him.
However, she didn't delve deeper, merely assuming he was exceptionally talented and had concocted it himself, especially given his previous record of damaged meridians. Instead, she warned him not to spread it casually.
...
Bai Yu scratched his head: "I don't really care about being a Saint Child or not, but if Teacher wants me to be one, then I'll give it a try."
The two got up and walked towards the Elder Palace.
The Elder Palace was located on the summit of the central great mountain in Spirit City, standing beside the Douluo Hall, which served as a symbolic landmark.
Its controller was the High Priest, Qian Daoliu, whose cultivation had reached level ninety-nine, one of the three ultimate Title Douluo, known as the invincible in the sky—and also the former Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall.
Inside the Elder Palace, Qian Daoliu was respectfully praying to the Angel God statue, probably doing his morning prayers?
"Bibi Dong, what are you doing here?" Qian Daoliu turned around and looked at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's expression was calm: "I've come to nominate a Saint Child and request the Priests and Elders to initiate a vote."
"Alright, this is the Supreme Pontiff's right. Is this him? That child named Bai Yu?" Qian Daoliu turned to look at Bai Yu.
"That's right, it's him. Since the High Priest agrees, then please gather the Elders and convene the Elder Conference." Bibi Dong looked at Qian Daoliu and said faintly.
Qian Daoliu's expression paused: "Good."
He then activated his Spirit, waved his hand, and a golden beam of light shot into the sky, with the phantom of an Angel faintly appearing above. This was the sign for significant events in Spirit Hall, summoning the Elders.
Speaking of which, it was quite bleak. As the Supreme Pontiff, Bibi Dong could only command three Title Douluo: Ghost Douluo, Porcupinefish Douluo, and Spirit Vulture Douluo, who had just advanced to Title Douluo.
She couldn't even compare to Qian Renxue, that little arrogant girl. As the young master of the Douluo Hall, Qian Renxue had quite the prestige.
As time slowly passed, all the Priests and Elders had arrived, except for Snake Lance and Porcupinefish, the two Elders who were with Qian Renxue.
"High Priest, has something happened? Also, Bibi Dong, why are you here?" The Gold Crocodile Douluo, the second Priest of the Douluo Hall and the oldest Spirit Master in all of Spirit Hall by seniority and age, spoke first.
Qian Daoliu raised his hand to signal the Gold Crocodile Douluo and said: "Today the Supreme Pontiff has come to nominate a Saint Child and requests the Elders to vote."
