Bibi Dong calmed herself.
"In Douluo Continent, there's a group of people with a special ability called a domain. When they activate their domain, enemies and teammates within its range experience different effects. For example, if an enemy enters my Deathgod Domain, I can reduce their movement speed and weaken their attacks. Furthermore, my Deathgod Domain can also be used as an attack method, controlling enemies from a distance. Of course, if teammates are within my domain, I can provide them with defense, shielding them from external attacks!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded, realizing that the so-called Deathgod Domain was similar to the array formations he had used before.
However, array formations needed to be set up in advance, while a domain was released by the user themselves.
Of course, array formations varied in strength, but a domain's strength likely depended on the individual's power.
Jiang Xiaofeng continued to ask, "Teacher, how did you get your Deathgod Domain? Is it innate to your Martial Soul, or did you learn it later?"
"Domains can be innate or acquired. For instance, people of the Angel Clan are born with the ability to release an Angel Domain, but I am just an ordinary Soul Master, so I obtained my Deathgod Domain through cultivation in another place!"
"Where?"
Jiang Xiaofeng found the Deathgod Domain incredibly convenient to use. It could not only kill enemies but also be used for defense. It was simply the ultimate equipment for killing people and stealing their treasures.
Bibi Dong looked at Jiang Xiaofeng, asking with a curious expression, "That's a very peculiar place. If you're not afraid of death, you can go try it. There's also one crucial point: if you can't obtain the Deathgod Domain, you can't leave that place. Do you still want to go?"
Jiang Xiaofeng frowned.
What kind of place was this? If you couldn't obtain the Deathgod Domain, you couldn't leave? It was like his past life, where some people, in order to comprehend the supreme cultivation, would enter certain caves. Because they couldn't understand the great principles within, they'd be unable to leave for the rest of their lives.
If that was the case, wouldn't it be a net loss?
Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng hesitate, Bibi Dong said with a smile, "There's no need to go to such a dangerous place. I've already secured the Angel Trial qualification for you. Maybe you can comprehend the Angel Domain during the trial?"
Jiang Xiaofeng didn't put all his bets on the Angel Trial.
Instead, Jiang Xiaofeng asked, "Teacher, how long did it take you to obtain the Deathgod Domain?"
"Five years! Killing non-stop for five years, and after accumulating enough power, you can leave the City of Slaughter through the Hell Road. Otherwise, you'll be trapped in the City of Slaughter forever!"
Jiang Xiaofeng continued to ask, "Teacher, is the Hell Road the only way to leave?"
"Yes, it's the only way to leave the City of Slaughter. The people there are brutal. I still don't recommend you go there!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded. But if Bibi Dong could leave in five years, then he probably wouldn't need much time either.
Looking at Bibi Dong's age and the fact that he couldn't see her soul power level, Jiang Xiaofeng still found her a mystery.
"I'll decide whether to go after the Soul Master Tournament. However, I think the Deathgod Domain is a good skill. As for the Angel Trial you mentioned, Teacher, I assume there's a level restriction, right? You can't just go whenever you want?"
Bibi Dong nodded.
"Yes, according to my understanding and the records of the Angel Clan, to accept the Angel Trial, your soul power level must reach Soul Emperor. However, with your abilities, you should reach that level soon. But the Angel Trial is a very long process. You should prepare yourself mentally!"
"A long process? How long? Several years?"
Bibi Dong nodded and said, "With your abilities, it will take at least nine years, and at most, a little over a decade!"
Jiang Xiaofeng was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected such a large time frame for an assessment. It was indeed a bit unexpected.
However, Jiang Xiaofeng thought of another question.
"Since there's the Angel Trial, are there other trials as well?"
Bibi Dong smiled and said, "Of course. The Douluo Continent has many gods, and each god has their own unique trial. The Angel Trial is the trial of the God of Angels!"
Jiang Xiaofeng nodded; he knew of the God of Angels, after all, the Spirit Hall's library had information about them.
But there was no record of the Angel Trial in the Spirit Hall's library because it belonged to the Angel Clan and wouldn't be found there.
"Thank you, teacher!"
"Alright, let's talk about the Star Luo Royal Team now, shall we?"
Jiang Xiaofeng said, "Based on my… well, it's hardly an investigation, everyone in the Star Luo Empire knows. The members of their team suddenly had a massive power surge a little over a month ago. They went from Soul Masters directly to Soul Kings. It's like they all leveled up overnight. Teacher, do you know who could pull off something like that?"
Bibi Dong sighed.
"I never expected him to resort to such despicable tactics. He'd actually team up with the Star Luo Empire to go against me? How ridiculous!"
"Teacher, are you talking about our Great供奉, Qian Daoliu? Based on my guess, and considering the tension between you and him within Spirit Hall, the only one who could pose a threat to me would be someone capable of making an already formidable team even stronger. That person is definitely Qian Daoliu!"
Bibi Dong said, "In the entire Douluo Continent, only Qian Daoliu can evade my surveillance. Even within the two major empires, I have my people. Qian Daoliu clearly doesn't want to hand over the Angel Trial spot, huh?"
"Teacher, do you think Qian Daoliu is doing this solely to remove you and me from Spirit Hall?"
Bibi Dong knew the real reason. Qian Daoliu wanted to oust her because he didn't want her to consume the Angel Clan's disciples.
He knew about his hatred for the Angel Clan, and he probably also knew that he had devoured many disciples of the Angel Clan.
If he wanted to leave Spirit Hall in a legitimate way, this was probably the only method. As for the Angel Trial quota, that was just a formality.
"Xiaofeng, there are many things you don't understand yet. When you become stronger and can stand beside me, listening to me shield you from the wind and rain, I will naturally tell you many things. But you are still too weak now; knowing these things won't do you any good!"
Jiang Xiaofeng clenched his fists tightly. He was too weak to know. Originally, he wasn't particularly interested in the City of Slaughter, but it was Bibi Dong's words that made him determined to go there.
