Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud

Su Yu looked at Yu Tianheng.

"Losing was losing. Where did all these excuses come from?"

"Kid, take a look at who you were facing. Keep talking tough, and I'll beat you into a pig's head."

Yu Tianheng froze, then immediately shut his mouth.

He did not dare get beaten again. He could only glare viciously at Su Yu.

Su Yu did not care about any of that.

After leaving the Soul Fighting Arena,

Xue Ye began his announcement as well. "This competition has concluded successfully. The corresponding Soul Masters, please come forward to receive your rewards."

The qualification to enter the treasury was the most important prize of this competition. As for the other rewards, they seemed insignificant by comparison.

Su Yu was in no hurry to collect his reward. He waited until everyone had received the prizes they deserved before approaching Xue Ye.

Looking at Su Yu's face, Xue Ye felt both shocked and afraid.

Whenever he recalled Qian Xunji's face, it felt like a nightmare. He had witnessed Qian Xunji's strength in his younger days.

The Six-Winged Angel, a power that stood above all Martial Souls, was terrifying beyond measure.

"Greetings, Your Majesty." Su Yu clasped his hands in salute, neither servile nor overbearing.

Xue Ye nodded. "I watched all of your matches. Your strength was outstanding. At your age, that is already exceedingly rare. Almost no one can compare to you."

This was not praise. It was simply the truth.

As for why Xue Ye did not dare recruit him?

It was because he knew he simply did not have the ability. He only had to consider who Su Yu's Martial Soul came from.

If it had been any other Soul Master, he would certainly have done everything possible to win him over, offering a noble title, territory, wealth, and beauties.

But Su Yu was different. That face alone was enough to make him hesitate.

"Your Majesty flatters me. I was merely fortunate," Su Yu said with a smile.

Fortunate?

You got lucky enough to cultivate to Soul Ancestor?

Xue Ye grumbled inwardly, but he did not dare say it aloud.

Strength like this was not something that could be attributed to luck.

"Young friend Su Yu, with strength like yours, you should have joined Spirit Hall already, correct?" Ning Fengzhi, who had remained silent for a long time, suddenly asked.

Faced with Ning Fengzhi's question, Su Yu answered, "I have."

Ning Fengzhi was not particularly surprised by the answer.

Tang Hao was still alive. And Su Yu looked so much like Qian Xunji that if Tang Hao discovered him, he would definitely bring down his hammer. Yet Spirit Hall had allowed Su Yu to come out and gain experience, so there had to be powerful experts protecting him in secret.

But were they elders, or one of the seven consecrators of the Worship Hall?

It would not be difficult at all for Tang Hao to discover them.

"Young friend Su Yu, thank you for your answer."

Chen Xin chuckled twice and said nothing further before leaving with Gu Rong.

Xue Ye looked at Xue Qinghe. "Qinghe, take this young friend to the treasury."

"Yes, Father."

Qian Renxue gave a slight nod, rose to her feet, and led Su Yu toward the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace's treasury.

After leaving Heaven Dou Royal Academy, they headed toward the imperial palace.

"Xiao Yu, did you know? That old bastard Xue Ye actually had me bring you here because he was afraid you'd take some important treasure.

"Too bad I'm not the real crown prince. I'm your sister. Later, just take whichever one you like."

Qian Renxue walked beside Su Yu and spoke in a low voice.

She had never actually been to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace's treasury before, and she was quite interested in the treasures inside.

"Sis, stop bragging. You always have to boast a little every time."

"Your little brother is about to explode."

Su Yu covered his ears, his face full of suffering.

Qian Renxue immediately became displeased. "Stinky little brother, what did you say? Do you believe I'll beat you up?"

"Sis, could you really bear to hit me? You ate an Immortal Herb, and now you want to beat me up. Would your conscience allow it? If Grandpa Qian found out, he'd definitely scold you."

Qian Renxue was left speechless. She shot Su Yu a vicious glare.

Bringing up Grandpa again. Why was this little bastard so cunning? If I ever get the chance, I'll definitely shut that mouth of yours.

Hmph. You'll definitely beg for mercy tonight.

Qian Renxue had not wanted to use this method to teach him a lesson, but her little brother was simply too disobedient.

Disobedient little brothers needed to be taught a lesson. At most, she would let him learn just how formidable his sister was.

The two soon arrived at the entrance to the Heaven Dou Treasury. The Heaven Dou Imperial Palace's treasury was built underground rather than above ground.

Qian Renxue came before the treasury gates and produced Xue Ye's command token. The guards immediately opened the doors. The heavy Black Iron gates slowly swung open, and an ancient, weighty aura rushed toward them.

The two walked inside and took in the sight before them. The hall's four walls were built from sturdy dark stone, with concealed Soul Power restrictions set throughout. Brilliant luminous pearls were embedded in the walls, their gentle radiance illuminating the vast space.

Rows of jade display racks stood within the hall. Gold, silver, jewels, and fine jades of every kind filled the place, yet these were instead the most ordinary items in the treasury.

Sealed Spirit Bones sat upon the display stands, along with many rare treasures passed down through the ages.

Upon a jade pedestal rested the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, the national treasure, its surface flowing with a faint, deep-blue watery glow.

The treasures throughout the room emitted faint glimmers of various colors. Some carried Soul Power fluctuations, while others remained quiet and restrained.

The enormous treasury was silent and solemn, every corner revealing the foundation accumulated by the imperial family over a thousand years. Every item in its collection bore the passage of the Heaven Dou imperial family's past.

"What treasures."

Su Yu sighed in admiration.

To ordinary people, these treasures were worth a fortune. Taking out any one of them would be enough to enjoy wealth and glory for a lifetime. But to Su Yu, they were nothing special.

The most important thing was still the national treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

"Xiao Yu, what do you want?"

Looking at the dazzling treasury, Qian Renxue did not know what to choose. This place would belong to her in the future anyway, but for now, she could not take too much. She could only choose one item.

If she took too much, it would be troublesome if it was discovered someday.

When she received no response, Qian Renxue looked up and discovered that Su Yu had already walked toward the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.

Qian Renxue paused, then followed him over. "Xiao Yu, do you want the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"

Su Yu nodded. "That's right. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is what I want. This thing will be very useful to me in the future, so I must obtain it."

Did a Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud really hold such a great attraction for Su Yu?

"You don't want the Spirit Bones either?" Qian Renxue asked.

"No. Spirit Bones are useless to me. I only want the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."

Su Yu immediately reached out and grabbed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. "Sis, I'll have to trouble you to make a fake Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and put it here, in case Xue Ye notices."

"No problem. It's a small matter."

Qian Renxue smiled.

As long as her little brother liked it, she would definitely handle such a small matter.

She only needed to find someone to make a fake and put it on display.

By the time Xue Ye discovered it, they would probably already be gone. It would be difficult for him to pursue the matter then.

Still, that old thing had been rather lively lately. It seemed she needed to increase the dosage properly. He had far too much energy every day.
