A few days later, Yun Yuan's figure appeared within Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, as he headed toward the imperial palace.
Before departing for Sea God Island, he wanted to obtain a treasure here — naly, the national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was a fragnt of the Sea God's Heart and contained a trace of the Sea God's divine sense. Bringing the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Sea God Island could trigger the Sea God's Trial.
Half an hour later, inside the imperial palace, the old emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire sat opposite Yun Yuan.
"Holy Son, are you saying you want the national treasure of our Heaven Dou Empire, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
The old emperor's cloudy eyes turned toward Yun Yuan, his gaze filled with hesitation and reluctance, as though he were parting with sothing incomparably precious.
However, this hesitation and reluctance were rely an act.
Although the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was the national treasure of their Heaven Dou Empire, nothing in this world was truly non-negotiable. As long as the price was sufficient, everything could be discussed.
Moreover, Yun Yuan belonged to Spirit Hall. If they offended him and Spirit Hall later targeted the Heaven Dou Empire, this national treasure would not only fail to protect the nation but might even bring disaster.
Thus, the reluctance and hesitation in his eyes were all for the sake of raising the value of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
"Your Majesty, let offer a final price."
"From now on, the dicinal pills your Heaven Dou Empire purchases from the Pill Hall can be discounted by thirty percent. If you're still hesitating, then I'll take my leave."
After speaking, Yun Yuan quietly looked at the old emperor before him, waiting for his answer.
"Deal!"
The old emperor agreed imdiately without the slightest hesitation. If Yun Yuan truly left, then he would genuinely have nowhere to cry afterward.
Seeing the old emperor agree, Yun Yuan smiled slightly and took out a token from his storage soul tool, handing it to the emperor opposite him.
"Your Majesty, this is my Token. When purchasing dicinal pills in the future, simply present this token and ntion the conditions I promised today."
Receiving the token, excitent flashed through the old emperor's eyes. He then ordered a subordinate to head to the imperial treasury and retrieve the national treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
After a while, a subordinate entered the palace carrying an object the size of a palm, a crystal-clear azure triangular prism.
Upon seeing this peerless treasure, a faint smile appeared on Yun Yuan's lips. With a wave of his hand, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud appeared in his grasp.
After carefully examining it for a mont, Yun Yuan stored it within his storage soul tool.
"Your Majesty, since the transaction is complete, this Holy Son shall take his leave first."
Having obtained what he wanted, Yun Yuan left behind a sentence before his figure instantly disappeared from the palace hall.
On a mountain outside Heaven Dou City, Yun Yuan's figure appeared there. Taking out the newly obtained Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, he intended to make it acknowledge him as master through a drop of blood.
This trip to Sea God Island carried the possibility of failure in convincing Bo Saixi to jointly hunt the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Furthermore, Yun Yuan also wanted to attempt one of the thods of becoming a god— inheriting a god position.
At present, the only inheritance grounds for god positions known to Yun Yuan were three places: Spirit Hall, Slaughter City, and Sea God Island.
There was no need to ntion Spirit Hall. Yun Yuan was not a mber of the Angel Clan, making it impossible for him to inherit the Angel God's position.
As for Slaughter City, it was the inheritance ground of the Asura God. The Asura God was the mastermind who brought Tang San from another world to the Douluo Continent.
Therefore, Slaughter City was absolutely not an option.
That left Sea God Island, the inheritance land of the Sea God, the only divine inheritance Yun Yuan had hope of obtaining.
In the original work, the Sea God could practically be said to have gone mad searching for an inheritor, even disregarding the rules to directly snatch away the Asura God's inheritor.
Yun Yuan believed that with his own talent, he should be able to obtain the Sea God's inheritance. His only concern was whether the Sea God might refuse to pass down the god position because he was a mber of Spirit Hall.
This was precisely why Yun Yuan had insisted on creating the alchemy system and spreading it throughout the continent. It was preparation for another thod of becoming a god: creating a self-made god position.
If no god were willing to pass down a god position to him, and he had made no preparations for faith power while also discovering no other path to godhood, then his peerless talent would truly be wasted.
Moreover, Yun Yuan held great respect for every thod of becoming a god. Even the inheritance of a god's divine position was not sothing he would reject simply because their attributes were incompatible.
To Yun Yuan, obtaining a divine inheritance clearly brought far more benefits than drawbacks.
Thinking this, Yun Yuan's eyes showed no hesitation. Spatial power sliced open his finger as a drop of blood fell onto the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
At that mont, within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the Sea God's divine sense was slumbering.
But upon sensing the power within Yun Yuan's blood—
The Sea God's divine sense instantly awakened. Through the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the divine sense understood Yun Yuan's current condition outside.
"My God, not even fourteen years old, yet possessing demigod-level spiritual power, an ultimate physique, and martial soul quality surpassing even god-level!"
"To actually let encounter such a peerless heaven's favorite, my luck is unbelievably good."
The more the Sea God's divine sense sensed Yun Yuan's condition, the more shocked it beca. It felt that this youth was simply too suitable to inherit his Sea God position.
Imdiately afterward, the Sea God's divine sense directly used its origin divine power to communicate with the main body within the God Realm.
God Realm, Sea God Hall.
"Sigh, when will I finally be able to leave the God Realm? I don't want to stay through these miserable days for even one more day."
A middle-aged man with a tall and imposing figure, bronze skin, icy blue long hair, and a stern, dignified face could not help but sigh inwardly.
This middle-aged man was the Sea God. When he first beca a god, he believed the God Realm to be a sacred place.
But as ti passed, he had already grown tired of life within the God Realm. He desperately wanted to leave imdiately, but he had to pass down his god position before he could depart.
"Hmm? This is the divine sense I left within the Sea God's Heart when I ascended. It's actually sending a ssage now. Could it have encountered a suitable inheritor?"
Thinking this, the Sea God beca even more interested. If he truly found a suitable inheritor, then he could finally pass down the god position.
After receiving the information transmitted from the lower realm's divine sense, divine power around the Sea God surged violently as bursts of brilliance flashed through his eyes.
"Not even fourteen years old, yet possessing demigod-level spiritual power, an ultimate physique, and martial soul quality surpassing god-level."
"Th-this... has my luck turned around?"
"This child is fated with !"
Upon learning that such a genius existed on the Douluo Continent, he could no longer suppress the excitent in his heart. He directly separated a strand of divine sense carrying a divine trial and descended onto the Douluo Continent.
Even if he had to force it in, he would stuff the Sea God position into this peerless genius's hands. He no longer cared about any rules and had completely thrown all the divine trial regulations of Sea God Island out of his mind.
Douluo Continent, outside Heaven Dou City.
Yun Yuan looked at the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which remained motionless for a long ti, utterly puzzled.
But the next mont—
A divine trial mark appeared upon Yun Yuan's forehead, while a majestic and excited voice echoed throughout his mind.
"The Sea God Nine Trials have begun. Pass the nine trials, and you may inherit the Sea God position and beco the new Sea God!"
