Chapter 116: 132 I Am the Master of the Hall of Reincarnation!
Inside Yun Yi's room, the setting resembled that of the twenty-first century. There was a beautiful large bed, a set of sofas, some cups for tea, and tea leaves. There were even toiletries.
Qian Mo sat on the sofa, brewing and sipping tea.
"Madam, keep this ring well. Inside are the spiritual liquids for your baths. Just pour one bottle before each bath," Qian Mo said, handing a ring to Yun Yi.
Yun Yi, sitting beside him and savoring the aroma of the tea, nodded and took it. She swept her divine sense inside and was immediately startled. There were at least a thousand bottles. "So many?" she asked, her lips parted slightly.
Qian Mo smiled faintly. "Is it a lot? I think it's just right. As long as it is useful to you, no amount is too much."
"Hmph, you’re the one with the smoothest tongue," Yun Yi teased with a light scoff.
"Haha."
***
Days passed, one after another, filled with the same repetitive routine: cultivation, bathing, and daily needs. A month went by just like that.
Above Yun Valley, Qian Mo looked toward the inner chambers and murmured, "They should be here soon—the people from the Soul Hall."
Inside the chambers, Yun Shan had been waiting for a month. "It’s been a month," he muttered. "The Soul Hall people should be arriving soon. I don't want to wait any longer."
Five days later, in the valley of the Yunlan Sect, two black mists drifted toward the secret chamber.
Qian Mo, who had been sitting with his eyes closed, opened them instantly. "Finally here. And there are two of them. Hehe."
Inside the secret chamber, Yun Shan was sitting cross-legged, consolidating his Dou Zong cultivation, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound from outside. He thought to himself, *It seems the Soul Hall people have arrived. Good. I don't have to wait anymore.*
"Hehe, that person must be Yun Shan," a soul in black mist said.
"Hehe, greetings, Yun Shan," the black shadow laughed evilly.
Yun Shan opened his eyes and looked at the two souls. "Are you from the Soul Hall?"
"Oh? You know of our Soul Hall, Yun Shan? That makes things much simpler. We can help you break through to the Dou Zong realm, but you must submit to our Soul Hall. Qiqiu," the shadow said temptingly.
"Dou Zong? Help? You can help me break through to the Dou Zong?" Yun Shan feigned surprise.
The shadows exchanged a look and laughed. "Haha, a mere Dou Zong? Our Soul Hall can certainly manage that. But you must submit to us. How about it?"
"Why should I believe you? What is your cultivation level?" Yun Shan probed.
"Hehe, I am a five-star Dou Zong."
"Hehe, I am a six-star Dou Zong."
When they revealed their strength, Yun Shan was inwardly shocked. *How are they so strong? If Big Brother hadn't helped me, I wouldn't know what to do. Even as a Dou Zong, I couldn't defeat them! It's fortunate that Big Brother's cultivation is so profound.*
"Tease them a little," Qian Mo’s voice transmitted into his ears.
*Oh? So Big Brother is here. Then there is nothing to fear. Soul Hall, hehe.*
"Ahem," Yun Shan coughed. "Two seniors from the Soul Hall, seeing that your cultivation is so high, you must hold very important positions in the Soul Hall, right?"
The shadows were stunned by the question, thinking, *Why isn't this guy following the script?* "Haha, of course, of course! That goes without saying. So, how about it? Dou Zong! Only a fool would refuse."
"Why are you two so pushy? Judging by your appearance, you're just gatekeepers in the Soul Hall. Why don't you join my Yunlan Sect? I'll give you a position as an elder. Hehe, what do you say?" Yun Shan said with a grin.
The two were caught off guard by Yun Shan's words. Their faces turned livid, and they said angrily, "You dare insult us? We must teach you a lesson!"
"Take this! Wind Extremity: Sunlight Irradiation!" Yun Shan unleashed his full power as a Dou Zong.
"What? You’ve already reached the Dou Zong realm? No matter, since you dare to resist, I will let you see the power of a five-star Dou Zong! Soul-Crossing Blade!"
As Yun Shan unleashed his technique, the originally dark and sunless secret chamber was suddenly filled with brilliant white light.
"Ah! So hot! So hot!"
"Oh no! We souls fear heat the most! Run! We'll kill him when we come back next time!"
The five-star Dou Zong shadow, unwilling to continue casting, retreated in agony. The two shadows rushed toward the wall.
"Running away?" A wicked smirk curled on the corners of Yun Shan's lips. "Go ahead and try."
Qian Mo flicked his finger, and the golden net he had set up around the area emitted a golden light—a Buddhist radiance specifically designed to restrain souls, especially evil ones like these.
"Ah!" The two souls shrieked in pain as they hit the golden net. They could feel the restraint; between the net and the sunlight, they had nowhere to hide.
"You... you cannot kill us! The Soul Hall will not let the Yunlan Sect off! When the Soul Hall elders find out we haven't returned, your Yunlan Sect will surely be washed in blood!" The two souls threatened, their expressions vicious. "Submit and come back with us, and we can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, wait to be slaughtered!"
"Oh? Is your Soul Hall really that impressive?" Qian Mo's voice rang out.
"Of course!" the black shadows replied immediately. Then, they saw a figure in white robes appear.
"Greetings, Big Brother. How did I do?" Yun Shan was instantly relieved to see Qian Mo.
"Hm, not bad," Qian Mo nodded.
"You... who are you? There shouldn't be anyone like you in the Yunlan Sect!" The black shadow pointed at Qian Mo, shouting. He felt an infinite sense of threat from the man, a threat he had only felt from the Hall Master, Hun Miansheng. "You... are you a Dou Sheng?!"
"Oh? A Dou Sheng?" Qian Mo shook his head. "Dou Sheng is too trashy. I am a Dou Di."
"Hahaha! Dou Di? Who do you think you are? Dou Di? It’s been so many years since a Dou Di appeared in this world! You liar!" The other six-star Dou Zong laughed.
Qian Mo narrowed his eyes, reached out, and slammed them into the ground.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Several minutes later. "Don't, don't hit us anymore!" The two shadows were beaten black and blue, begging for mercy.
"Do you believe me now?" Qian Mo asked, withdrawing his hand.
"We believe! We believe!" they nodded frantically.
"Tell me, what is your status in the Soul Hall? If you lie to me, I will let you taste the 'Soul Burning'," Qian Mo said indifferently.
"Soul... Soul Burning! No! We'll talk, we'll talk!" Soul Burning was the most fatal threat to their soul forms; they would suffer excruciating pain. They waved their hands in panic.
"We are just gatekeepers in the Soul Hall. No one will care if we die. We joined not long ago, and we were just excited to use the Soul Hall's reputation to cause trouble," the two said, swallowing hard.
Qian Mo nodded slightly. It was as he had expected.
"Then, are you willing to leave that ghost place? I can help you forge new physical bodies," Qian Mo said.
The two souls were captivated by his tempting words. "Bodies? You can forge bodies for us?"
Qian Mo nodded. "On the condition that you join us."
"We want to, but we can't!" they replied bitterly.
"Why not?"
"Once we join the Soul Hall, they plant a soul curse in our minds. If we betray them, we’re dead!"
"Oh, is that it?" A flash of golden light appeared in Qian Mo's hand. He pointed it at the two souls. "Don't move, it will hurt a bit." Before he finished, he thrust his hand into their minds.
"Ahhh!!"
The two souls felt intense pain. When Qian Mo withdrew his hand, he said, "It's done. I have removed the marks in your bodies. The Soul Hall will not know, and you are no longer under their control. I want you to do two things. First, return to the Soul Hall and monitor their movements. If anything unusual happens, I will know as soon as you think of it. Second, you are now under my control. I want you to infiltrate the upper echelons of the Soul Hall by any means necessary. Don't worry, once I destroy the Soul Hall, the mark will disappear, and I will help you forge your bodies. You can decide then whether to stay or go."
"Re... really? Oh, remember your status—you are envoys for peace, the hope of the continent!" Qian Mo started his brainwashing session. After half an hour, the two were completely disoriented.
"Yes! Destroy the Soul Hall! Restore peace to the continent!" they chanted.
"State your names! The peace of the continent relies on you!" Qian Mo said solemnly.
"My name is Zhan Qin!"
"My name is Qin Tian!"
"Good. Go now. Carry the hopes of the continent. You are the most glorious heroes!"
"Yes!"
With that, they vanished.
Yun Shan stood there, stunned. "Bi... Big Brother, hello."
"Let's go. You can come out now. Oh, I forgot to tell you, I am the husband of your disciple, Yun Yi." Qian Mo vanished.
Yun Shan woke up, shocked. "What? Yun'er's husband?! Doesn't that mess up the seniority? Forget it, she calls her what she calls her, and I'll call her what I call her! I'm getting out of here. I've been stuck in this room for five years, I'm practically molding!"
He opened the door.
***
Another month passed. Since Yun Shan came out, the Yunlan Sect had been ecstatic to learn that their ancestor had broken through to the Dou Zong realm, and Yun Yi had also reached the Dou Zong realm from the peak of nine-star Dou Huang. A single sect with two Dou Zongs! Yun Shan was so moved by the *Heavenly Cloud Divine Technique* Qian Mo had given him that he didn't know what to say.
In the valley room, Qian Mo stood high above, looking at the clouds with a profound gaze, followed by Yun Yi and Yun Shan. When Yun Yi learned that her master called her husband "Big Brother," she was shocked and gave Qian Mo a good scolding.
It was time to leave. Having stayed in the Yunlan Sect for so long, it was time to explore the continent and stir up some trouble. Qian Mo turned to Yun Yi. "Madam, are you willing to come with me? I'm going to travel."
"Ah, I..." Yun Yi began, glancing at Yun Shan. Qian Mo narrowed his eyes at Yun Shan, who was so frightened he didn't dare object. Yun Shan coughed. "Yun Yi, you've stayed in the sect for a long time. As your master, I am very pleased that you have reached the Dou Zong realm. Go. The Yunlan Sect is small, and it would be good to go out with your... husband and broaden your horizons. I am also a Dou Zong, so I can handle the sect. And I plan to let that girl Yanran take over as the next sect master. You don't have to worry."
Yun Yi shed tears and knelt down. Yun Shan was startled. "What are you doing? Get up!"
"Wuwu, Master, a teacher for a day is a father for life. Yun'er will come back to see you." She bowed three times.
"Alright, alright, get up!" Yun Shan quickly helped her up.
Just as they stood up, two figures in black robes appeared outside the Yunlan Sect. They exuded an extraordinary aura. As they released their Dou Qi, the members of the Yunlan Sect grew solemn. Yun Shan and Yun Yi were startled. "So strong!"
The person on the left looked up at the Yunlan Sect. "Is the Hall Master here?" the voice was clearly male.
"Yes, the Yunlan Sect, the number one sect in the Gama Empire. But they don't look like much. I thought they were strong, but things are different now." The voice was clearly female.
These were the two Qian Mo had sent to hunt for treasure: Ma Lie and Ma Li! Both were now at the Dou Zun level.
"This aura... is it a Dou Zun?!" Yun Shan's eyes narrowed. "Have we offended some great power?"
"Oh? It's them? I didn't expect them to come back so soon, and they've broken through to Dou Zun! That exceeds my expectations," Qian Mo said.
"Them? Big Brother, do you know them?" Yun Shan asked.
Qian Mo released his aura.
"Hm? Over there! I feel the Hall Master's aura."
"Me too. It seems the Hall Master knows we're here."
"No kidding. Let's go!"
The two sensed Qian Mo's aura and flew toward the valley.
"Elder! They're heading toward the valley! What should we do?" a disciple shouted.
"It's fine. The Sect Master's husband is there, what are we afraid of?" the elders said, though they were terrified. If those two wanted to attack, no one could stop them.
In the valley, the two figures arrived. Yun Shan and Yun Yi stood guard, vigilant.
"Don't worry, they are our own people," Qian Mo waved his hand to tell them to relax.
The two figures appeared before them. Even as they stopped, their tattered black robes fluttered. They knelt on one knee. "Hall Master!"
"Hall Master?!" Yun Shan and Yun Yi were stunned. A Dou Zun was kneeling before Qian Mo? Yun Yi thought, *My husband's background is indeed not simple.*
"Don't be like that. Low profile, keep it low profile," Qian Mo coughed. He looked at them and nodded. "Good, you didn't disappoint me. You've reached Dou Zun? Very good. How did the mission go? What did you find?"
Ma Lie handed over a storage ring. "Hall Master, everything we obtained from the ancient tomb is here."
*Ancient tomb? Big Brother went to rob someone's grave?!* Yun Shan was terrified.
Qian Mo scanned the ring. *Wow, so many good things? Too bad the system is in seclusion, otherwise I'd sell it all. Once I finish the mission, I'll sell everything I don't need to the system at once.*
"Well done. Here are two Heaven-tier cultivation techniques as a reward." Qian Mo waved his hand, and two ancient, mysterious scrolls appeared. "One is the *Saint Fighting Art*, the other the *Flame Demon Art*. Both are Heaven-tier. I forgot which grade exactly, I have too many Heaven-tier techniques. Take them and study them yourself."
Everyone was speechless. *Those are Heaven-tier techniques! How can you make them sound so worthless? Giving them away as if they were nothing! Why don't you give me one?!* Yun Shan cried inwardly.
"You're tired from the mission. Go rest. There are many fun things in the Hall now," Qian Mo said.
The two's eyes lit up. They missed the Reincarnation Hall. "Yes, Hall Master!"
"Go." They vanished into smoke.
"Big Brother, Big Brother! I don't care, you are my Big Brother from now on! I want to be your little brother! Big Brother, do you have any more Heaven-tier techniques? You have so many, give your little brother one!" Yun Shan begged, fawning over him.
Yun Yi was speechless.
"Husband, who exactly are you?" Yun Yi asked.
"Ahem, come, I shall introduce myself. I! Qian Mo! Am the Hall Master of the Reincarnation Hall!" Qian Mo patted his chest.
"Reincarnation Hall?!"
"What is that?"
"You'll know once you join. Do you want to?" Qian Mo asked temptingly. "Everyone who joins the Reincarnation Hall is no ordinary person! You saw those two? Half a year ago, they were mere Dou Zhe—trash-tier Dou Zhe! But after joining the Reincarnation Hall, in just half a year, they went from Dou Zhe to Dou Zun! And this is real, solid cultivation! They are now the strongest among Dou Zuns! And the Reincarnation Hall doesn't interfere with your other affairs; it is absolutely free. Aside from missions, we even protect the families and sects of our members!"
Yun Yi was stunned. Even she hadn't imagined such a thing.
"What? Dou Zhe to Dou Zun in half a year?! Big Brother, I want to join! For the peace of the continent, I, Yun Shan, must become stronger!" Yun Shan fawned. *Damn it, if I don't agree to this, I'll miss the opportunity of a lifetime.*
"Hold on, don't be so eager," Qian Mo raised his hand and turned to Yun Yi. "Madam, what do you think? Do you want to join?"
"I'm already your woman, can I say no?" Yun Yi rolled her eyes. She was secretly thrilled. Her husband was even more powerful than she had realized.
"But Husband, we've never heard of a Reincarnation Hall on this continent. When was it established?"
"Oh, I just established it half a year ago."
"What? Half a year?"
"How many people are there?"
"Let me count... including you two, there are six!"
"..."
"What's with those looks? Among us six, two are already Dou Zuns, and I am the strongest. Quantity doesn't equal quality. Look at your Yunlan Sect; who could beat those two?"
They shook their heads.
"Exactly. That's what happens when you have many people but low quality. I am different. Few people, high quality. And I've only been established for six months. From Dou Zhe to Dou Zun in that time—do you really think I'll be short of people in the future?"
"Husband, I didn't mean that. I was just asking," Yun Yi said, afraid he had misunderstood.
"I know, I'm just explaining. So, do you want to join?"
"Yes," Yun Yi nodded.
"Of course! Only a fool wouldn't!" Yun Shan nodded frantically.
"Good. Put a drop of your blood on this contract." Two ancient scrolls appeared.
They bit their fingers and dripped their blood onto the scrolls. As the blood fell, the scrolls vanished into energy, followed by a thunderous boom in the sky!
