Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud! Tang Hao: I'll Wash Away My Past Humiliation! (Two-in-One)

After the test concluded, Qian Xunji smiled slightly and looked at Xue Ye, asking, "Your Majesty, what do you think of the value of these five Soul Tool?"

Xue Ye fell into deep thought; he naturally knew that these five Soul Tool were of extraordinary value.

It can be used not only in the war against the Star Luo Empire, but also to arm their royal family.

After all, their royal family's inherited Martial Soul is the Swan, which has no offensive capabilities.

The Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, was originally obtained from a marine relic.

After so many years of research, apart from knowing that it can be used to store Soul Tool, no other uses have been discovered.

Exchanging these Soul Tool, along with the specific coordinates and information of another continent, with Qian Xunji would be a viable option.

After a moment's thought, Xue Ye looked at Qian Xunji and said, "Your His Holiness the Pope, I can grant your request."

"However, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is, after all, a national treasure of our Heaven Dou Empire, and its value and symbolic significance are extraordinary."

"Aren't five Soul Tool a bit too few?"

Qian Xunji said calmly, "Then how much does Your Majesty want? Let me make it clear first, due to the last voyage, the Spirit Hall's preparations were limited."

"Therefore, the number of Soul Tool brought back from the Sun-Moon Continent is limited, especially higher-level Soul Tool such as level four and level five."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye thought to himself, "The other continent is called the Sun-Moon Continent, is that right?"

Then he said, "Since that's the case, how about this?"

"Give me six Soul Tool of each level one to three, and two Soul Tool of each level four and five."

"They are offensive Soul Tool and defensive Soul Tool, how about that?"

At this moment, Yu Changge said, "Your Majesty, isn't this asking for too much?"

"We're using so many Soul Tool, as well as the coordinates and information of the Sun-Moon Continent."

"Is it just to exchange for a Soul Tool that might be helpful for my voyage?"

Xue Ye frowned. "Then what do you want?"

After a brief discussion, the Spirit Hall ultimately granted four level one to four level Soul Tool, Level 4 Soul Tool for attack and one for defense, and one level five Soul Tool.

Then, Qian Xunji flipped his right hand, revealing a scroll, which he dragged to Xue Ye using his Soul Power.

"This contains the specific coordinates of the Sun-Moon Continent, as well as the navigation routes."

"There's also the division of power among the various factions on the Sun-Moon Continent."

Xue Ye nodded. "Please wait a moment, Your His Holiness the Pope and Elder Yu. I will send someone to retrieve the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud immediately."

A moment later, a guard came forward carrying a tray covered with a red cloth and presented it to Qian Xunji and Yu Changge.

After Qian Xunji lifted the red cloth, he revealed what was inside.

It was a palm-sized, three-dimensional triangular crystal, like a polished deep blue gemstone, crystal clear throughout.

The surface is covered with water-ripple-like flowing patterns, it feels cool to the touch, and the crystal is thick and heavy.

Qian Xunji could tell at a glance that this was a rare treasure, far superior in quality to the level-six Soul Tool obtained by the Spirit Hall.

He suppressed his excitement; this object really did look somewhat like a token Sea God's Inheritance.

Perhaps what Changge saw in his dream was real!

Xue Ye said, "This item is called the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, a national treasure of my Heaven Dou Empire, an ancient artifact originating from a secret ocean realm."

"Currently, the royal family only knows that it can be used as a super-large Soul Tool."

"You'll need to develop the other features yourselves."

What Xue Ye meant was that if no ocean-related abilities were developed later, the Spirit Hall couldn't back out.

Qian Xunji understood, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Then thank you very much, Your Majesty."

If the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud truly contains the Sea God's Inheritance, then they wouldn't go back on their word.

This is a God-Tier Soul Tool!

Xue Ye said, "It's getting late. Why don't I host a banquet to entertain you two?"

Qian Xunji thought for a moment and then nodded, since it would be better to finish eating before heading back.

On the other side, in the Clear Sky Sect.

At this moment, Tang Hao's father Tang Zhen, sat in the main seat, while Tang Chen sat to the side.

Tang Xiao, Tang Hao, and several elders took their seats.

The reason why Tang Hao, the father of Tang Xiao, is in the main seat, rather than Tang Chen, is that Tang Zhen is in the main seat.

That's because Tang Chen had already passed the position of sect leader to his son.

He is currently a Supreme Elder within the Clear Sky Sect.

It was Tang Zhen, not Tang Chen, who spoke at this moment. He looked at everyone and said, "In about ten days, we will be accompanying the Spirit Hall on a mission to Sea God Island."

"Those from my Clear Sky Sect who will be going include myself, Tang Hao, Tang Xiao, the Second Elder and the Fourth Elder, as well as some core disciples of the sect."

"As for the Sect Master and the First Elder, since you two are Titled Douluo, you will remain in the sect, understand?"

They had no objection to what Tang Chen said.

Soon, the discussion about Sea God Island concluded, and the meeting adjourned.

The two brothers, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, followed beside their grandfather. Tang Hao clenched his fist and couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Two years!"

"Yu Changge has Slaughter City. This time, I'm going to the Spirit Hall to avenge my humiliation."

After a period of diligent cultivation, his Soul Power has reached level sixty-seven.

Keep in mind that he is only twenty-eight years old, so his cultivation speed is incredibly terrifying.

In the original novel, Tang Hao was at Seventieth Rank when he was 30 years old.

The current situation may be due to the butterfly effect caused by Yu Changge.

This made his cultivation speed a little faster.

At this rate, Tang Hao is very likely to reach Seventieth Rank when he is over 29 years old.

Tang Xiao is fifteen years older than Tang Hao, and is now forty-three years old. Encouraged by his younger brother, he dares not slack off.

Now, his Soul Power is at level 75.

Unbeknownst to them, Yu Changge's cultivation had greatly improved after leaving the Slaughter City.

At only seventeen years old, he was already a level seventy-five Soul Saint.

Compared to Yu Changge, the brilliance of Tang Hao and Tang Xiao, the twin stars of Haotian, is destined to be overshadowed.

Tang Chen chimed in, "That kid's talent was already quite strong, and now that he's in the Slaughter City, he must have obtained the Divine Slaughter's Domain."

"And since you don't have a domain, even if your level is higher than his, you will still be suppressed."

"And that kid left the Slaughter City several months earlier than me."

"After we return from this trip to Sea God Island, Hao'er, you should also go to the Slaughter City training."

"As for Xiao'er, you should go in after Hao'er comes out safely, otherwise you might end up killing each other."

Tang Hao nodded, then said with a resentful look, "Grandfather, I admit that Yu Changge is very strong."

"But the Clear Sky Hammer of my Clear Sky Sect is by no means weak."

"My sixth Soul Skill, Clear Sky Protection, not only defends against attacks, but also has a certain ability to break free from control effects."

"This time, I won't let that brat's Soul Skill control me so easily again."

Tang Chen smiled and nodded, "It's a good thing to have such confidence. I always thought your path had been too smooth."

"Now that such a stepping stone has appeared, if you can defeat this opponent, the benefits to your future will be immeasurable."

Tang Hao nodded.

The relationship between him and Yu Changge is perhaps similar to that between his grandfather and Qian Daoliu.

And since his grandfather was able to defeat Qian Daoliu, he will surely be able to defeat Yu Changge in the end.

Yu Changge had no idea that Tang Hao had imagined so much.

On the other side, Yu Tianqing and his two companions, after a long journey, returned to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan on the evening of the fourth day after leaving the Spirit Hall.

After the three returned, they did not disturb anyone else, but went directly to the courtyard of Yu Yuanzhen's family.

When Yu Yuanzhen learned that the three had returned, he came out to greet them, with Yu Xiaogan by his side.

In fact, given his status Clan Head, he didn't need to greet the three of them, but these three all had deep connections with Yu Changge.

Yu Xiaogan also greeted the three of them.

Yu Yuanzhen smiled and said, "You must all be tired from your journey. Don't stand outside, come inside and rest for a bit."

Inside the room, Yu Yuanzhen instructed the servants to make tea and then prepare some food.

He then chatted with the three of them for a while, talking about Yu Changge's recent situation.

He also learned that Yu Changge had come from the Slaughter City and that her strength had improved considerably.

However, Yu Tianqing and the other two did not tell Yu Yuanzhen that Yu Changge had obtained a dual God King level inheritance.

This is something that Yu Changge himself told Yu Yuanzhen and the others.

After all, it's only satisfying to show off when you do it yourself.

Then, Yu Ming asked, "Clan Head, the reason we came from the Spirit Hall is to tell you that the Spirit Hall will be setting off for Sea God Island in about ten days."

Whom does our family plan to send?

Yu Yuanzhen had already thought this through.

"There weren't many people from our family this time, just me, Xiao Gan, Yu Xiaogang, the Third Elder, and some core Soul Saint clan members, about ten people in total."

Yu Yuanzhen definitely knows more about Sea God Island than the people of the Clear Sky Sect.

According to information provided by the Spirit Hall, Sea God Island offers various levels of assessments.

Passing the assessment will earn you certain rewards, the most basic of which is a one-level increase in Soul Power.

If they had been able to pass such an assessment in the past, it would have been an opportunity for both Xiao Gan and Yu Xiaogang.

Even if it doesn't work out, this trip is still an opportunity to broaden one's horizons.

As for himself, he doesn't actually have any unrealistic expectations.

After all, he's already Ninety-Fifth Rank. Will the power of the assessment increase his Soul Power by one level, reaching level 96?

The energy required to go from level 95 to 96 is enormous.

And they are outsiders, or to put it bluntly, invaders.

Whether or not one can ultimately obtain such an assessment opportunity largely depends on whether the other party is willing, so their family did not send too many people this time.

He didn't let his father go with him either, because Yu Xiaolong had a hidden ailment that even the family's healing-type Soul Master couldn't cure.

Now, all we can do is minimize movement to slow down the loss of vitality in our bodies.

Then, Yu Yuanzhen inquired about the three people's recent cultivation progress.

Yu Tianqing smiled and said, "Clan Head, I have already broken through to Ninety-Second Rank. Shu Yao and Elder Yu are also at level 88 and 86 respectively."

Yu Yuanzhen's pupils contracted slightly. What? He's already Ninety-Second Rank?! How long has it been?!

Upon hearing Yu Yuanzhen remained silent for a long time.

He looked at the three of them with a complicated expression, and it took him a long time to speak.

"Your cultivation speed... is truly unexpected."

He didn't ask how the three of them had done it; perhaps it was an opportunity given to them by Yu Changge, or perhaps it was something they had gained through their own experiences outside.

However, this concerned the other party's privacy, so he couldn't ask any further questions.

Most importantly, the three of them now hold rather delicate positions within the family.

He could tell that the three of them were definitely more inclined towards their families, but if they displeased the other party, they still had the Spirit Hall as a place to go.

He was also very happy to learn that Yu Tianqing had broken through to the title level.

This means the family has gained another Titled Douluo, which is a good thing.

Subsequently, Yu Yuanzhen expressed his desire to witness Yu Tianqing's current strength.

"Tianqing, how about we have a friendly spar?"

Yu Tianqing smiled and said, "Clan Head, that's exactly what I was thinking, but I've only recently broken through, so you'll have to give way to me then."

Yu Yuanzhen nodded.

He is now a Ninety-Fifth Rank Titled Douluo, three levels lower than Yu Tianqing, so if they were to spar, he would definitely have to go easy on Yu Tianqing.

Afterwards, having enjoyed a satisfying meal, the three of them returned to their lodgings to rest.

Any sparring will have to wait until tomorrow, after the discussions about the trip to Sea God Island conclude.

The next day, in the council chamber.

Yu Yuanzhen briefly made arrangements for the group members who were going to Sea God Island.

He then explained some family affairs during their absence, which were mainly handled by his younger brother, Yu Luomian, the second-in-command.

That afternoon, in the central square of the family compound.

Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianqing stood twenty meters apart, surrounded by a dense crowd of clansmen.

They came to watch the game.

Yu Yuanzhen felt there was no need to hold back their sparring.

After all, Yu Tianqing had already been granted a title, so he wanted to take this opportunity to spar and let everyone in the clan witness Yu Tianqing's strength.

After this sparring match, Yu Tianqing's status will be second only to his.

Yu Yuanzhen was the first to release his Martial Soul, and nine Soul Ring— two yellow, two purple, and five black—appeared beneath him.

"Yu Yuanzhen, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Ninety-Fifth Rank Power Attack System Titled Douluo, please enlighten me."

Yu Tianqing's lips curled slightly as he released his Martial Soul.

Then, nine Soul Ring appeared beneath him: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

"Yu Tianqing, Martial Soul: Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Ninety-Second Rank Power Attack System Titled Douluo, please enlighten me."

And then the red Soul Ring beneath him appeared.

The entire audience was astonished.

There was a three-second silence.

Then, a violent commotion erupted in the crowd.

"Red... that's a red Soul Ring!"

"A hundred thousand years! It's Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!"

"Uncle Tianqing's ninth Soul Ring is actually Hundred-Thousand-Year Tier!"

"How is this possible! No one in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has ever absorbed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!"

Yu Yuanzhen's pupils also contracted sharply.

He stared blankly at the red Soul Ring, unable to come to his senses for a long time.

He originally thought that Yu Tianqing had just broken through to the title level and at most possessed a black Soul Ring of decent quality.

But 100,000 years...

This completely exceeded his expectations.
