Poseidon: Me? Prove the Sea God's Heart Is Mine?
Having resolved his doubts and even received good news from Han Li once again, Qian Daoliu's feelings were extremely complicated.
Even though he had overestimated Han Li's secret as much as possible before, he still couldn't help but sigh now.
Han Li stopped trying to instill his ideas in the Old Qian. For a devout believer like him, the only way to solve the problem was to let him figure it out himself.
After chatting for a while, Qian Daoliu chose to leave. He probably wouldn't sleep well tonight, but at his level, not resting for a few days wouldn't have much of an impact; at most, he'd just be a little mentally exhausted. And now that Han Li's strength was even above his, he had even less to worry about.
After seeing his senior uncle off, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief. He knew he had to tell him sooner or later, so the sooner he did, the easier it would be.
To his surprise, Qian Daoliu never mentioned Bo Saixi from beginning to end, remaining quite calm.
Even when it was mentioned before, Qian Daoliu's behavior was quite normal, with only a hint of reminiscence occasionally flashing in his eyes.
Could this be considered a powerful leader in the Love Continent, yet not a prime example of someone obsessed with love? The reason for the Spirit Hall's failure has been found.
They only wanted to unify the country, but the other side rushed up shouting "love!" and "bonds!" trying to show the Spirit Hall what "boundless love" meant.
"What a pity, now it's Master Han who calls the shots. Anyone who doesn't like me and is obsessed with love can just die," Han Li thought to himself, his mind wandering, making him laugh.
After adjusting his mood, he entered into cultivation. He hadn't fully digested the benefits of Dual Cultivation with Gu Yue yet, so he couldn't waste any time.
In the Far North Land, dawn breaks very early, or rather, the place remains the same year-round: overcast skies and a vast expanse of white.
Han Li had some local delicacies brought over by the waiter, and started cooking hot pot early in the morning, attracting Qian Daoliu and Ye Lingling as well.
The air was filled with white steam, and eating a steaming hot pot in the freezing cold was incredibly refreshing, even in the early morning.
After they had almost finished eating, Han Li took out the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from his wristband and handed it to Ye Lingling face was still flushed.
"Here, put some blood on it."
This thing had been gathering dust for a long time since he got it from Qian Renxue, and the one he forged before was destroyed when Xue Ye died and framed to the Clear Sky Sect.
Ye Lingling had seen it before and knew about the relevant information, so there was no need to ask again. She obediently took it and prepared to prick her fingertip.
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll go with you."
Han Li thought of something and activated Mental Sharing. Of course, he didn't involve Qian Daoliu, who was standing next to him. If he included him, it would be a provocation.
Ye Lingling waited a moment before bringing her already cut fingertip closer.
The original blue halo of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud quickly turned into a crimson glow as it was stained with blood.
The blood from Ye Lingling's fingertips was being absorbed in large quantities, yet there was no sign of blood loss on her face; the Life within her body was now terrifyingly strong.
It took more than a minute for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to stop absorbing blood, and Ye Lingling's fingertip wound also healed at the same time.
With their Mental Sharing, Han Li could clearly perceive that this so-called activation ritual, which involved absorbing Life, was actually just a manifestation of blood.
Fortunately, Ye Lingling didn't lack this meager Life at all; if it were an ordinary Soul King here, they would probably be drained dry.
To be honest, the behavior of these gods is really not that of good people.
A faint blue light drifted out from the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, condensing into a very faint phantom image, and a calm and aged voice rang out.
"I don't know how much time has passed, but I have finally found a blood that tastes good, and I have finally found a physique that can withstand the Vast Sea Power."
Immediately afterwards, a flash of blue light appeared, and it disappeared back into the triangular shape of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
The halo Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud suddenly receded, returning to its original blue color, with only a faint red light flashing occasionally at its core.
"Oh."
Han Li sneered. After absorbing so much Life, he initiated a ritual similar to recognizing a master, feeding back a trace of unclaimed divine power to confirm his identity. The energy consumed was less than what he used to show off. Most of the energy was still stored in the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
This Sea God is a real sinkhole.
He strongly suspected that this guy probably disassembled the Divine Artifact so that others would use their lives and Soul Power to Divine Artifact for him. It was probably made in two parts: one part was the halberd body from Sea God Island, and the other part was the Sea God's Heart.
Otherwise, whose Divine Artifact would be dismantled? Unless the weapon's owner wanted to do it, Bo Saixi couldn't move it at all.
"Xiao Li, just like you said, it's a multi-functional Soul Tool."
Ye Lingling had already inputted her Soul Power and obtained the specific usage method, then looked at Han Li excitedly.
According to his previous statement, this thing was considered to be bound to her, and the Sea God Exam was half successful.
"Yes, I'll lend you another hand."
Han Li took her hand and used his divine power to merge into the Sea God's Heart in her hand.
This old guy is really disrespectful. He might even be plotting to steal her Soul Power. Just now, half of Ye Lingling's Soul Power was secretly stored by the Sea God's Heart. He can't tolerate that.
Moreover, he is about to head to Sea God Island, and given the current situation, the more assertive he appears, the better, otherwise he might just brush it off.
The Sea God's Heart was the core of his Divine Artifact. Not only did he conceal his aura, but Qian Daoliu beside him did not. Although he had followed the established procedure just now, he did not believe that the Sea God had not noticed anything.
Taking the benefits and then not giving anything in return—is he trying to be like Rakshasa? Han Li wasn't going to tolerate that.
His Spiritual Power has already transformed into God Soul, and with the corresponding cultivation method for his previous Martial Soul Fusion Skill, changing his own aura fluctuations is not a difficult task for Han Li now.
Therefore, upon entering the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Ye Lingling's vibrant Soul Power was instantly replaced by Han Li power, which rushed straight to its core, seemingly intending to directly erase the aura of the Sea God.
In terms of quality alone, the Sea God Divine Power remaining within it is far inferior to the quality of Han Li's own divine power.
"Hey, hey, young friend, wait a minute."
As Han Li power broke through the first layer of the barrier, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud suddenly reacted, and the same voice as before rang out from within, with a blue phantom emerging from above.
Using the connection between himself and his weapon, the Sea God in the Seagod Hall of the Divine Realm finally projected his will, his face showing a hint of anxiety.
Just kidding, if his aura is erased from the core of the Divine Artifact, then the Divine Artifact will truly no longer belong to him.
Although it's just an ordinary Divine Artifact, it's a legacy he left behind. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud isn't the first time it's been activated, but what's with this divine power? He plans to pass on his Godhood Inheritance and leave the Divine Realm after a while, so he can't afford to lose it.
There was no movement from Bo Saixi's side, so how come divine power suddenly appeared in the lower realm?
Then he saw the three people standing in front of him.
The descendant of that angel, and the possessor of the Sea God's Heart.
When his gaze fell on Han Li, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Quasi-Titled Douluo first- God Position First Level God? When did Douluo Continent become so strong? He was only one step away from becoming a god. This situation greatly surprised Poseidon, who had also gone through the same process, but he didn't have such strength back then.
"Who are you?"
After forcing out the Sea God, Han Li stopped what he was doing and looked at the Sea God warily, without revealing that he knew him.
He wanted the benefits, but Ye Lingling's God Exam still needed the Sea God's Heart as a transfer and inheritance law to improve her strength. He had no intention of really taking it.
At the very least, we should wait until the inheritance is complete before erasing his divine power.
The energy in the God Exam all follows the path of the Divine Realm. He alone cannot bear the energy required for so many people to rapidly improve. This is the most important reason why he put several people through the God Exam.
Otherwise, after learning about the operation of the God Exam from Gu Yue, he could have directly chosen the same method to improve the strength of the others. Although they could not achieve the same leapfrog improvement as him, they would definitely not be much slower than the God Exam.
"I am the Sea God, the master of this thing."
The Sea God narrowed his eyes and then adopted a rather majestic expression.
"Oh."
Then, he heard an extremely bland response from Han Li.
"Sea God Poseidon, is there anything else? If not, let's continue."
Han Li pointed to the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and said very seriously.
Poseidon could find no fault in his attitude, tone, or demeanor, but he still felt that something was off.
Seeing Han Li preparing to make another move, he finally realized, damn it, the item was his! And he had already said that this kid was still going to make a move, showing no respect for the gods whatsoever.
What? He was about to become a god too? But he didn't succeed.
"Junior, are these my things?"
The Sea God Phantom actively mobilized the energy stored within it to stop Han Li's actions.
"Hmm? But doesn't the Divine Realm forbid interference in the lower realms? Senior, you didn't take anything with you when you went to the Divine Realm, so you probably didn't want it, right? Since you didn't want it, it's mine now, no problem."
Han Li looked up at Poseidon with a puzzled expression; his logic was impeccable.
Poseidon was stunned by his words. What he said seemed to make sense, but that's not how it works. This was the core of his inherited weapon.
"Young friend, you've misunderstood. I'm not asking you for anything; it's just that it's something special, a heirloom of mine, and it can't be destroyed."
Poseidon was somewhat unsure of Han Li's background. He glanced at Qian Daoliu beside him. The successor of the angels was also there, and he seemed to High Priestess as well. Hadn't he told him anything? "Inherited item?" Han Li looked at the Sea God's Heart in his hand. "Senior is joking. Everyone knows that your inherited item is the Divine Artifact trident. Please don't joke with your junior."
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with weapons at all. Besides, if this were really your heirloom, my girlfriend could use it without ever having been exposed to God Exam."
"Ah?"
Hearing Han Li's reasoning and evidence, Poseidon was dumbfounded.
He truly never imagined that the Sea God's Heart, as the core of his Divine Artifact, would one day require him to prove to others that it was indeed his heirloom.
Isn't this somewhat contrary to the principles of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches?
