Chapter 707

"The Haotian Sect has indeed made a move, and it's not just one Title Douluo." Bibi Dong's voice was emotionless. "Hu Yanzhen... Hmph, the Elephant Armor Sect certainly knows how to pick its time to curry favor. The commotion on Seagod Island is even bigger, almost completely undisguised."
“The allure of divine inheritance is enough to drive any power mad,” Dai Chengfeng said slowly. “Judging from the current situation, the inheritances of the Ice God and the Sea God have probably entered a substantial stage, beginning to select or attract suitable individuals within their respective areas. Even if the other rumored locations are not as active as these two, they may not be entirely unfounded.”
Bibi Dong tapped her fingertips on the armrest, making a rhythmic, soft sound. Her gaze fell on another secret report spread out in front of her, containing the latest intelligence on the Star Dou Great Forest.
"How effective were the people we sent to cause trouble for Tang San?"
"It had some effect," Dai Chengfeng replied. "'Dark Night' team successfully triggered two medium-sized soul beast tides. Although they managed to defuse them, it clearly slowed down their journey and took a toll. The news of using someone else to do their dirty work has also been spread, attracting at least three groups of powerful desperados who are now searching for them. However... Tang San is indeed shrewd, and the Golden Iron Triangle team around him and that 100,000-year-old soul beast rabbit have extremely strong senses. It will be difficult to seriously injure them with these petty tricks."
Bibi Dong was not surprised. If Tang San were so easy to deal with, he wouldn't have become a major threat to her.
"Have our people discovered any signs of a 'miracle' in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"There are no clear reports yet. However, the energy field in the core Lake of Life area has been unusually active and chaotic, preventing our scouts from penetrating deeper. Considering Tang San and his group's destination, it's quite possible."
Bibi Dong closed her eyes, a flurry of information racing through her mind. The far north, the vast ocean, the Star Dou Great Forest… the gods' pieces seemed to have already been laid. How should the Spirit Hall respond? Should it observe the situation, or actively enter the fray to compete?
The Rakshasa God's legacy is fraught with evil and uncertainty, making it far from a good choice. While the Tears of the Wind God deepen her connection, is the Wind God's legacy complete? Where is it located? Has it already manifested in the world?
"Chengfeng, do you have any more specific clues about the inheritance of the Wind God in your memory?" she asked, opening her eyes.
Dai Chengfeng pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "My inherited memories are severely damaged, and the specific information about the Wind God's position is very vague. I only remember that the Wind God's position seemed to have undergone some changes in ancient times, not perishing, but the inheritance may have been hidden or scattered. The Tear of the Wind God is one of the core tokens, and its recognition of you now may be an opportunity. But to find the complete inheritance site, I'm afraid we need an opportunity, or... wait for it to awaken further and guide us."
Bibi Dong stroked the necklace on her chest; the gemstones were warm and lustrous, their inner light shimmering. Waiting? Passive waiting was her least favorite pastime. "Since multiple inheritances have manifested, we can't just stand by and watch." A decisive glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. "The information brought back by Ghost Leopard and Spirit Kite is very valuable. Issue the order:"
"First, send elite Soul Masters skilled in ice and water attributes, led by an elder, to secretly establish an observation outpost on the outskirts of the far north. We don't seek to seize it, but we must monitor the movements of forces such as the Clear Sky Sect and the Elephant Armor Sect there, record the patterns of the Ice Palace's appearance, and gather information on anyone attempting to approach it. If the opportunity arises... we should create some 'accidents' to give our old rivals a hard time."
"Secondly, in the direction of the Vast Ocean, dispatch some Soul Masters skilled in naval warfare or possessing Sea Soul Beast Martial Souls to establish maritime observation points as well. The Seagod Island inheritance event is too big, and there will definitely be many people paying attention. We can blend in among them to gather intelligence. The key is to record which forces have sent ships or powerful individuals, especially... whether there are any figures from the Star Luo Empire."
"Third, increase manpower and strengthen perimeter surveillance in the Star Dou Great Forest direction. Tang San and his group remain the primary targets. At the same time, attempt to search for ancient ruins or energy anomalies in the forest that may be related to the attributes of 'nature' and 'life,' not limited to the areas they have traveled to. Have scouts carry the latest energy-sensing soul tools."
"Fourth, notify the Hall of Offerings," Bibi Dong said, her tone slightly cold. "Send a copy of the intelligence from the Far North and the Vast Ocean to Qian Daoliu. Hasn't he been pursuing the oracle of the Angel God? Now that the divine inheritance has manifested, let's see how he handles it." This was a test, and also a way to use one enemy against another. If Qian Daoliu and the Hall of Offerings were to shift their attention to the external divine inheritance as a result, the pressure on her would be much less.
Dai Chengfeng quickly took notes and asked, "What about ourselves? Should we try to contact or seek the legacy of a particular deity?"
Bibi Dong stood up, walked to the window of the secret room, and looked out at the magnificent buildings of Wuhun City and the distant horizon.
"The inheritance of gods carries both risks and opportunities. Rakshasa is untrustworthy, and the other gods are unknown in their depths. The Tears of the Wind God is currently the clearest clue." She turned around, her eyes resolute. "Chengfeng, I need your help. Gather as much information as possible about all the ancient legends and relics on the continent related to 'wind,' especially those involving concepts like 'speed,' 'freedom,' 'sky,' and 'protection,' or places where powerful wind-attribute soul masters or even suspected miracles have appeared in history. We'll start from there."
“Alright.” Dai Chengfeng agreed without hesitation. “I will use some of my special channels and sensory abilities. Also, you can try to actively communicate with the Tear of the Wind God using your spiritual power when you cultivate your soul power; perhaps you will discover more.” (End of Chapter)
