Both of them did not speak immediately. Tang Wulin maintained his calm and composure. He noticed that there were at least two Hyper Douluo-ranked powerhouses at Xue Yuntian’s side. They had been sizing up Tang Wulin all along. As for Tang Wulin, he found it a little disappointing that there was not a single Limit Douluo in the Dou Spirit Empire. Although the two Hyper Douluos had rather strong cultivation bases, they were only about Li Yunzhe’s level. Their spiritual cultivation bases had not achieved the Spirit Domain realm. In other words, they had no hope of becoming Limit Douluos.

Generally, one would reach one’s peak in spiritual cultivation by the age of forty. This was the natural progression. The spiritual power’s growth of a person would peak at about forty years of age and regress gradually as the person got older.

Thus, the best time for one to attempt a spiritual power breakthrough to the Spirit Domain realm was before the age of forty. For this reason, Limit Douluos acquired their reputations at a young age. If one failed to achieve it by forty, then one could not possibly achieve it in one’s lifetime.

The Hyper Douluos were watching Tang Wulin closely. They felt shocked upon seeing Tang Wulin. They shifted their gazes after taking a few glances at him.

Evidently, they knew that Tang Wulin had attained the Spirit Domain spiritual cultivation base. They consequently acknowledged Tang Wulin as having a Limit Douluo cultivation base since they were incapable of telling his cultivation base. After all, the possession of the Spirit Domain Realm had always symbolized a Limit Douluo.

There was only Li Yunzhe who knew that the Sect Master’s cultivation base was only a Soul Sage. He had yet to realize that Tang Wulin had already achieved a breakthrough to Soul Douluo rank within just a few short days. He could not tell that Tang Wulin had advanced because of the interference from his spiritual domain.

“Your Excellency Sect Master, did you have a smooth trip? I heard that you went to Spirit Wave City first.” Xue Yuntian broke the silence and began speaking to Tang Wulin by his side.

Tang Wulin nodded gently. “Yes, I received some information, so I dropped by Spirit Wave City first. You know, the truth hurts. I truly didn’t expect that the Spirit Pagoda colluded with the Holy Spirit Cult. I believe Your Majesty had learned about the terrorist attack on Shrek City by the Holy Spirit Cult that resulted in the destruction of Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect’s headquarters. This blood debt must be avenged by our Tang Sect.”

“We found it quite odd early on that the Holy Spirit Cult managed to transport so many hyper fixed soul ammunitions to the area nearby Shrek City despite Shrek City’s tight security. The answer is obvious now,” said Tang Wulin calmly.

Apparently, Xue Yuntian did not expect Tang Wulin’s pointed response. He could not refrain himself from asking, “So the Sect Master wishes to wage war against the Spirit Pagoda?”

Tang Wulin spoke, “Not that we wish to wage war, but the Spirit Pagoda initiated the war against us when they bombed our Tang Sect’s headquarters. I wonder if Your Majesty knows the Spirit Pagoda’s reason for doing so?”

Xue Yuntian frowned deeply. “What’s the reason then?” Tang Wulin turned his head to the side and took a glance at him. Xue Yuntian felt Tang Wulin’s probing gaze when he heard a voice saying, “What’s the reason then?”

The voice was not Tang Wulin’s but his own. He was not the only one who heard the voice but all the surrounding civil and military officials heard it too, “What’s the reason then?”

Besides Xue Yuntian, the two Hyper Douluos’ countenances changed abruptly. One of them could not refrain from speaking, “Is that time reversal?”

Xue Yuntian felt fearful in his heart. He felt as if he had returned to a moment before.

Was it time control? Could the martial soul of this Tang Sect’s Sect Master be related to time? That would be terrifying indeed. The genius almighty had the ability to distort time. Let alone the two Hyper Douluos at his side, even a few more would not be able to protect his life as Tang Wulin could easily take his life if he wanted to.

Li Yunzhe who was behind them was similarly shocked. He was a Hyper Douluo. Since he had more exposure to Tang Wulin, his feeling was even more profound. The moment Tang Wulin looked toward Li Yunzhe, Li Yunzhe could sense that there was some kind of strange energy field that was transforming around him. Even though Tang Wulin only managed to distort time for just a moment, it was enough to cause goosebumps all over his body.

It was truly shocking. Li Yunzhe paused for a moment despite his cultivation base. It was more than just a matter of controlling time. He was afraid that it was an ability which was similar to spatial exchange. What sort of spiritual domain did the Sect Master have actually?

Could it be that he was truly capable of killing the Spirit Pagoda’s Pagoda Master from the Dou Spirit Empire instantly? Could it be that his assessment that Tang Wulin was a Soul Sage earlier was a mistake?

Tang Wulin said, “Reckless ambition.”

He answered Xue Yuntian’s question while he acted as if the time reversal earlier had never happened.

A faint smile appeared on his face and vanished soon after. Tang Wulin spoke in a deep voice, “There’s always someone who doesn’t take defeat well!”

“Yes,” chimed in Xue Yuntian. Even he wondered why he suddenly felt humble saying it despite being the empire’s emperor.

Tang Wulin spoke, “However, their heedless ambition should not prevail. In the early years, the Holy Ice Douluo founded the Spirit Pagoda for the purpose of enabling mankind and soul beasts to live peacefully, so that the population of the endangered soul beasts could be revived. In time, the Spirit Pagoda had completely twisted the Holy Ice’s good intentions. They reared the soul beasts in pens and captured countless soul beasts under the pretense of giving them space to breed. The soul beasts on the Douluo Continent almost went extinct. Now, they have the audacity to work together with the Holy Spirit Cult. The Tang Sect may not be the world’s police, but we will always fight for justice. Thus, we’ll never allow any spirit nor evildoer to make trouble.

His words were spoken with such power that everyone could hear him as if he was standing next to them. At the same time, they felt completely convinced.

It was a spiritual shock!

The powerhouses with ranks of Title Douluo and above could sense the powerful spiritual fluctuation. Although it was not used for attack, it was capable of influencing the people’s minds naturally.

Amongst the civil and military officials, apart from a few with advanced cultivation bases, the majority of them nodded upon listening to his words.

“So, what’s the best way to rectify the Spirit Pagoda in your opinion?” Xue Yuntian was still in control of an empire after all. He was his normal self at present, after the momentary loss of composure.

Tang Wulin spoke, “Prompt treatment is necessary for an illness. Any organization with an issue would need to be attended to as well.”

They walked into the main entrance of the palace. There was no need to proceed any further as shuttle cars were already waiting for them in the Dou Spirit Empire’s palace. Xue Yuntian and Tang Wulin boarded a car while the rest of the entourage boarded separate cars.

Xue Yuntian acted courteously by stopping the powerhouses from following him. He understood very well that there was no one who would be able to stop Tang Wulin if Tang Wulin bore any ill intention toward him. From his observation of Tang Wulin thus far, he decided he might as well be courteous.

“I truly didn’t expect the Spirit Pagoda to behave as such! Could it be that they wish to repeat the Martial Soul Hall’s incident years ago? What do they hope to achieve from this? They’d become the target of all sooner or later even if they concealed themselves,” said Xue Yuntian in confusion.

He could not figure it out. As the largest organization in the world, the Spirit Pagoda was already at its peak be it in wealth or status. What would they gain from attacking Shrek Academy and the Tang Sect? Did they have an ulterior motive?

“To be above the rest.” Tang Wulin heaved a soft sigh.

“Above the rest?” Xue Yuntian looked toward Tang Wulin in astonishment. His heartbeat was racing for he knew the answer in his mind.
