Is it similar to the Spirit Hall before Qian Xunji took office?
It has to be said that Xiao Zhan's metaphor is very appropriate, allowing Huo Tianyang to quickly understand many things about Wisdom Palace.
Spirit Hall is an organization of Spirit Masters, rather than a single power. Sometimes, Spirit Masters from many sects are also members of Spirit Hall.
Of course, as time goes by, suspicions about Spirit Hall, this huge entity, deepen, and barriers arise.
Finally, after Qian Xunji took office, Spirit Hall began to change little by little.
From originally just maintaining the glory of Spirit Hall, illuminating the brilliance of the Angel God above the Continent, it gradually began to truly confront the two great empires.
"And unlike Spirit Hall, Wisdom Palace will always maintain a cooperative relationship with various major powers, such as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect joining Wisdom Palace."
"As you say that, it sounds more like an alliance," Huo Tianyang frowned.
Xiao Zhan was taken aback for a moment, then didn't refute it, feeling that this statement made sense.
"The purpose of Wisdom Palace is still theoretical research, promoting the development of the Spirit Master realm, but it also needs its own strength. These sects like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will join later, but their goal in joining is to cooperate in theoretical research. They may not necessarily provide defensive forces for Wisdom Palace."
"So, Su Wen approached you and me?" Huo Tianyang realized.
Talking about the beliefs or goals of Wisdom Palace is nonsense. In the final analysis, it's about establishing a power and finding people to sit in positions of authority.
Xiao Zhan shook his head and said, "Not just you and me, Dugu Bo has also joined. Additionally, Huo'er will join Wisdom Palace with me."
"Oh?" Huo Tianyang was extremely surprised. "He actually managed to get Dugu Bo to join?"
After some thought, he made a decision.
"For your sake, I can join, but let's make it clear first. I want to continue presiding over the Blazing Academy. When there's a suitable candidate to pass on the position of Dean, then I can take charge of Wisdom Palace."
Xiao Zhan's expression became slightly awkward, arousing suspicion from Huo Tianyang.
"What's wrong? I haven't fallen into a trap, have I?"
"Not exactly, it's just that Wisdom Palace is still in its infancy, and we don't have territory yet. But after returning to Heaven Dou City this time, Xiaowen will consider it. He will also announce the existence of Wisdom Palace at the Spirit Master Competition."
Huo Tianyang's forehead bulged with veins.
So, you're playing me for a fool, huh?
"Haha, isn't this just an early invitation for you to take a seat?"
Xiao Zhan still believed in the promising future of Wisdom Palace. It was clearly developing towards becoming the second Spirit Hall, with its key foundation lying in theoretical aspects, filling the void in the entire continent's Spirit Master realm. As long as Su Wen's mentioned responsibilities for Wisdom Palace could be executed well, then the growth and establishment of Wisdom Palace as a sacred place in the hearts of all Spirit Masters would pose no difficulty.
Unless Spirit Hall also came up with a plan to promote the development of the Spirit Master realm in terms of theory.
But for now, there seemed to be no need to worry.
At least, Su Wen's theories wasn't something Spirit Hall could confront by just saying they would confront it.
Moreover, according to the information Xiao Zhan learned from Bai Yuan, it seemed that Spirit Hall was aware of Su Wen's intention to establish Wisdom Palace, and they seemed to be willing to support Su Wen, showing a supportive attitude.
Don't ask how Bai Yuan knew, the answer is simply that Bai Yuan was one of those who were notified in advance that they might be transferred to Wisdom Palace.
"Xiaowen, I've brought you some assistance."
Back at the hotel, Xiao Zhan shared his achievements with Su Wen.
"Achievements? Uncle Zhan, did you crush Uncle Yang under you?"
"???" Xiao Zhan had a puzzled expression, looking at Su Wen. "What did Tianyang do to provoke you?"
Didn't he teach you all his skills?
Why is it that when I mention achievements, you seem so eager for me to crush him?
And not just crush, but crush him to the ground?
This must be some deep-seated grudge.
Su Wen chuckled awkwardly, changing the subject, "So, Uncle Zhan, what achievements are you talking about?"
"I invited Tianyang to join Wisdom Palace, and he didn't object. He just wants to wait until the procedures at Blazing Academy are completed before officially joining Wisdom Palace."
Upon hearing that Wisdom Palace had gained another member, Su Wen naturally felt pleased.
Well done, Uncle Zhan, recruiting talents on your own.
"Uncle Zhan, do you have any other close friends? If so, why not invite them to join my Wisdom Palace as well?"
As Xiao Zhan mentioned this, Su Wen realized that there was only about a year left until the Spirit Master Competition.
Yet, some preparations for Wisdom Palace were still incomplete.
He planned to dazzle everyone at the Spirit Master Competition, then present the theories of Wisdom Palace and share his achievements preliminarily, establishing a persona and gaining initial popularity across the entire continent.
But before that, at least, there should be a rudimentary form of his Wisdom Palace.
It didn't need to have a massive power base.
Currently, with Dugu Bo, along with two Old Spirit Douluo, and Su Wen's numerous theories, this was the true foundation of Wisdom Palace.
As for the so-called Four Great Single-Attribute Clans, Su Wen had no interest in inviting them and wasn't interested in them either.
"hey were just a bunch of rough men, completely unrelated to Wisdom Palace. There's no need to go licking their boots.
"Compared to the current situation of sects and families, I would prefer Wisdom Palace to exist in a different form," Su Wen said.
Xiao Zhan looked curious. "What form?"
Su Wen smiled and a light sphere appeared in his palm.
"Uncle Zhan, try to integrate your Spiritual Power into it," Su Wen suggested.
Driven by curiosity, Xiao Zhan followed Su Wen's instruction and immersed his Spiritual Power into it, immediately feeling a sense of vastness.
Within the light sphere, it was as if there was a complete world.
However, this world was still quite monotonous. Within it, endless books floated around, each book like a drop of water, making the entire space look like an ocean of books.
He felt his strand of Spiritual Power condensed into a consciousness under a force's pressure. Slowly advancing, he grabbed a book, and then a message fused into his consciousness.
Suddenly, the consciousness dissipated, and the Spiritual Power returned to Xiao Zhan's Sea of Consciousness.
Accompanying it was an illusory book.
Xiao Zhan was amazed. With his Spiritual Power, he touched the book in his Sea of Consciousness, and a vast amount of knowledge quickly fused into his mind.
Although it was information he already knew, the entire process left Xiao Zhan extremely astonished.
"How did you develop something like this, Xiaowen?" Xiao Zhan's tone was full of astonishment at the moment.
"Hehe, this is just a knowledge sea I developed, belonging to the Wisdom Palace's database, a place for storing and accessing theories. Besides the knowledge sea, there's also a mountain of books," Su Wen said, taking out another light sphere.
Within this light sphere were stacks of books, forming a mountain.
"Compared to the knowledge sea, the mountain of books is actually for beginners in theory. It contains some basic theories, and in the future, I will also set some thresholds to test scholars' foundation and level."
Listening to Su Wen's explanations, Xiao Zhan was somewhat confused. In any case, Su Wen's development of the Mountain of Books and Sea of Knowledge left him deeply impressed.
Was this still within the scope of Spirit Skill development?
Which Spirit Skill from which family could achieve such effects?
Most importantly, he couldn't figure out which Spirit Skill Su Wen used to develop this.
