Douluo: Legend of the Holy Land

Chapter 200 The Vast Ocean Universe Cover is Obtained

Qian Renxue got straight to the point: "The sacrifice of that 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit caused such a commotion that it has alarmed the entire Heaven Dou City. I came here at the request of Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi. We got along well during the Soul Master Competition, so they jointly entrusted me to gather information. Should I tell them the truth when I get back?"

"It wouldn't hurt to tell them!"

Xiao Yu shrugged nonchalantly: "Right now, the Nine Star Palace is in the midst of rapid expansion. Let them spread the word about my 100,000-year seventh soul ring. That way, the Nine Star Palace's reputation will only grow stronger!"

"That's true. Although Ning Fengzhi and the others didn't know about Saga's existence, just based on the few Title Douluos who made a move when they went to Wuhun City to participate in the competition, no one would dare to have any ulterior motives towards you!"

Qian Renxue nodded, then asked with some curiosity, "A 100,000-year soul ring is a great tonic for a soul master. Would you mind revealing your current soul power level?"

In front of his woman, Xiao Yu had no reason to hide anything: "That silly rabbit used a very domineering sacrificial method, burning all of her 100,000 years of cultivation into her soul ring. After I absorbed it, my soul power directly broke through to level 74!"

"Level 74!"

Qian Renxue's eyes widened immediately. Although Xiao Yu was her man, Qian Renxue was strong-willed and felt a pang of jealousy when she realized that Xiao Yu had far surpassed her.

Xiao Yu sensed Qian Renxue's dejection, reached out and put his arm around her slender waist, and said softly, "Xue'er, I still stand by what I said before. The complicated political affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire will only distract you and delay your cultivation, so I still suggest that you get out of it as soon as possible."

Qian Renxue leaned against Xiao Yu's chest, rubbing her temples, and said, "How could I not know all that you're saying? But I've been lurking in the Heaven Dou Empire for nearly twenty years, just waiting for Xue Ye's death so I can rightfully ascend the throne. Giving up now is even more unacceptable!"

"I didn't ask you to give up the identity of Xue Qinghe!"

Xiao Yu suddenly realized that Qian Renxue was extremely prone to getting herself into dead ends, so he reached out and tapped her forehead, saying, "A substitute? Didn't you already use that during the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament?"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at Xiao Yu and said, "Do you think I haven't thought about it? This substitute doesn't have a head soul bone like me that allows me to disguise myself flawlessly. It's fine for her to come out and replace me for a few days occasionally, but if she appears in front of people for a long time, not only Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, but even the few Soul Douluo retainers in the royal family will notice something is wrong."

"That's it? You should have said so earlier!"

Xiao Yu slapped his thigh and said, "Our Nine Star Palace has already developed a disguise-type soul tool. Although its effect can't compare to your soul bone, it won't be a problem unless a powerhouse of Sword Bone Douluo's level uses their full soul power to probe you. Don't worry, Sword Bone Douluo isn't just sitting around doing nothing, why would he be watching you for no reason!"

Qian Renxue shook her head again: "Ever since Bibi Dong ambushed you last time, our Hall of Offerings and the Papal Palace have actually turned against each other. An ordinary substitute can't withstand the pressure from the Papal Palace. If he suddenly sides with Bibi Dong, wouldn't I have wasted all my efforts?"

"I can select one or two Title Douluos from the Nine Star Palace to enter the palace and secretly protect that substitute!"

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice, "To be honest, I recently discovered a secret training ground. It can not only hone our combat skills and practical abilities and increase our cultivation speed, but it will also be a great help to our future plans. If you are willing to go with me, I can guarantee that after you come out of there, you will complete the Angel God's test in the shortest possible time."

Qian Renxue's six-winged angel possesses the attributes of light and holiness, making it the nemesis of undead creatures from the underworld. Coupled with their spirit fusion skill, with Xiao Yu's current spirit power of over seventy levels and Qian Renxue's strength approaching that of a Soul Saint, their combined spirit fusion skill would likely make even a Super Douluo retreat.

Therefore, Qian Renxue was the first among Xiao Yu's entourage to participate in this challenge to clear the underworld.

"Let me think about it!"

Qian Renxue was somewhat tempted, but still couldn't make up her mind.

"I almost forgot, this time, gathering information was just an excuse I used to deal with Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi. My main purpose in coming here is to hand this over to you!"

Qian Renxue suddenly flipped her delicate hand, and a three-dimensional triangular object, crystal clear blue in color and only the size of a palm, appeared in her hand.

The moment the item appeared, a strange energy fluctuation emanated from Qian Renxue's palm, with rings of blue light flashing, filling the entire room with a faint, precious glow.

"Vast Ocean Universe Cover!"

Xiao Yu instantly recognized the item. The sea god's test begins the day the user who is accepted by it obtains it and is recognized by it.

"You actually took it out so quickly! Isn't the Vast Ocean Universe Cover considered a national treasure by the Heaven Dou Empire? You gave it to me so easily. Won't this cause dissatisfaction from the Heaven Dou royal family? That old bastard Prince Xuexing has been watching you closely, hoping you'll make a mistake!" Xiao Yu asked Qian Renxue with some concern.

"At least you have some conscience; you know to care about me first!"

Qian Renxue revealed a satisfied smile, while reassuring Xiao Yu, "Don't worry, although this thing is regarded as a national treasure by the Heaven Dou Empire, no one can actually gain its approval to use it. It's just kept in the treasury as a mascot. I just spent five gold soul coins to have someone make a fake and replaced it."

After a pause, Qian Renxue said, "After I got this Vast Ocean Universe Cover, I tried to inject my soul power into it to figure out what was inside, but no matter how much soul power I injected, this thing was like a dead object and didn't react at all."

"Hidden within this Vast Ocean Universe Cover is the divine consciousness of the Sea God. It must have discovered your identity as the inheritor of the Angel God, which is why that Sea God is secretly using divine power to resist the soul power you've injected!"

Xiao Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's a pity, though, that even though this sea god is as cunning as a devil, in the end he'll still have to drink my foot bath water!"

"Do you have a solution?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's face lit up with joy. The Sea God was an accomplice in the murder of the first Angel God. As long as she could trick him, Qian Renxue would be happy to see it happen in any way.

"certainly!"

Xiao Yu was confident. This Vast Ocean Universe Cover, also known as the Heart of the Sea God, is a token passed down by the Sea God. Therefore, the Sea God can use it to call upon divine power within the permitted scope of the God Realm. Thus, unless it is Tang San, the successor already designated by the Sea God, no one else can even think about using this divine object.

Originally, Xiao Yu only intended to seize the Heart of the Sea God and cut off Tang San's chance.

But now the situation is different. The appearance of the Underworld has given Xiao Yu another hope. As long as he enters the Underworld and leaves Douluo Star, the Sea God's divine power will not be able to interfere. How long can a mere divine thought withstand it?
