The Entire Continent Shaken

Ye Tian watched as Xiao Qin sat cross-legged. He could see the focus in her eyes, the determination to succeed.

As she closed her eyes, Ye Tian sensed a wave of energy emanating from her body. He stepped back, allowing her space as he watched in awe.

The Skydream Ice Worm began to glow with an icy blue light, and Xiao Qin's body began to shudder. However, the resistance wasn't as severe as what had happened to Ye Tian.

Ye Tian could sense the power surging within her, and he knew that she was about to awaken her first spirit ring.

*SHIING*

Suddenly, the energy around her intensified, and a bright light emanated from her body. Ye Tian had to shield his eyes from the radiance. As the light subsided, he looked at Xiao Qin in amazement.

Her pupils had turned golden, and her body was surrounded by a golden aura. Ye Tian could feel the power emanating from her, and he knew that she had succeeded in absorbing the Skydream Ice Worm into her Spiritual Sea.

"Congratulations," said Ye Tian, as he is walking up to Xiao Qin. "You've awakened your first spirit ring."

Xiao Qin's eyes were wide with amazement as she looked at her hands. "I did it," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.

"Yes, you did," said Ye Tian, a smile spreading across his face. "And now, it's time to see what your spirit ring can do."

Xiao Qin nodded, and Ye Tian stepped back to give her some space. He watched as she closed her eyes, focusing her mind on her new spirit ring.

"[1st Spirit Ring: Golden Dragon Eyes]!"

*Bzzt*

Suddenly, the world around them began to slow down. Ye Tian felt as if time itself was being stretched out, allowing him to perceive every detail of his surroundings.

He could see the blades of grass moving in the wind, the leaves rustling on the trees, and the clouds slowly drifting across the sky.

Xiao Qin's eyes remained closed, but Ye Tian could sense the power emanating from her. She was processing every detail in her environment, creating a mental image of the world around her that was sharper and more vivid than anything Ye Tian had ever seen.

Ye Tian watched in amazement as Xiao Qin opened her eyes, a look of wonder on her face. "This is incredible," said Xiao Qin, as her voice filled with awe.

"What can you see?" asked Ye Tian.

"Everything," Xiao Qin said, a smile spreading across her face. "I can see every detail in the environment, including muscle movements, motion vectors, spirit power, and distance to objects. It's like there's a secondary brain helping me process all the information. And I can see everything within the range, from any angle desired, even if my eyes are closed."

Ye Tian nodded, impressed, then he said:

"That's a powerful ability,"

`So, it's similar…` thought Ye Tian inwardly.

Soon, as everything has been done, Ye Tian and the others started to pack up their things before they made their way to the Heaven Dou Empire.

…

Spirit City, Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall in Ye Tian's previous memory before was a symbolic existence in Douluo Continent with strength surpassing that of the two great empires.

However, in this timeline, the Spirit Hall had yet developed to the peak of their glory.

Inside the courtroom of Spirit Hall, the officials of Spirit Hall and representatives of Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire were in a heated discussion about the recent events.

"The Holy Spirit Cult has declared war on us after successfully ambushing two titled Douluo from Spirit Hall," announced one of the Spirit Hall officials."

"But why would they do that? What do they want?" asked the representative of Heaven Dou Empire.

"We don't know for sure, but we suspect it has something to do with their recent actions," replied the Spirit Hall official.

At that moment, the representative of Star Luo Empire spoke up. "We have reason to believe that the Holy Spirit Cult has also kidnapped our young prodigies."

The representative of Heaven Dou Empire was taken aback. "What? The same thing happened to our young prodigies."

The Spirit Hall officials exchanged nervous glances with each other, knowing that they had kept the information about the kidnappings hidden from the empires.

"Excuse me, but why weren't we informed about this?" demanded the representative of Heaven Dou Empire.

"We apologize, but we believed it was best to keep this information confidential until we had more information," explained the Spirit Hall official.

The representatives of both empires were furious. "How could you keep something like this from us? Our young prodigies are in danger!" exclaimed the representative of Star Luo Empire.

"We...we didn't want to cause unnecessary panic and we thought we could handle it ourselves," the Spirit Hall official stammered.

The Spirit Hall officials tried to calm the situation down, but tensions were high. It was clear that the Holy Spirit Cult posed a serious threat to the continent, and the kidnapping of the young prodigies only added to the urgency of the situation.

"We need to know more about this kidnapping," the Star Luo Empire representative said firmly. "What do we know about the Holy Spirit Cult's motives?"

"We don't know for sure," the Spirit Hall official admitted. "But we suspect that they are trying to use our young prodigy's talents for their own purposes."

The representatives from both empires looked at each other, their expressions grim. "We need to act fast," the Heaven Dou Empire representative said. "We can't let the Holy Spirit Cult get away with this. We'll need to gather our forces and plan a rescue mission immediately."

Despite the odds between them, the representatives from the two empires agreed to join forces. They were determined to protect their people, no matter the cost.

As the meeting ended, the Spirit Hall officials couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. The Holy Spirit Cult had been gaining power and influence in recent years, and their sudden aggression was a clear indication that they were not to be underestimated.

They had known that war was coming, but they hadn't expected it to come in this form. The kidnapping of a young prodigy had thrown their plans into chaos, and they would have to act fast to prevent any more harm from coming to the continent.

Meanwhile, in the ravine, Ye Tian and the others had just finished packing their things and was unaware of the events unfolding in the outside world.

Little did they know that the entire continent was about to be shaken by the Holy Spirit Cult's actions.
