Xiong Jun: I Even Visited Your Grave Before

Xiong Jun's feelings were quite complicated.

He just took on an apprentice, how did that turn into a connection with Sea God?

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's candid revelation, Xiong Jun's expression gradually turned strange. After a moment of silence, he finally asked, "Wulin, don't you want the Golden Dragon King's power? That should be your biggest secret, right? Powerful Bloodline Power can easily attract unwanted attention."

Tang Wulin was taken aback, then shook his head with a wry smile, "It's not my own thing. I even wish I could take it out."

That's a bomb, it could kill him. It even made him work so hard to earn money before. To say he likes that feeling is impossible.

Of course, it wouldn't be accurate to say he hated it. He got to where he is now thanks to the power of the Golden Dragon King, but he wouldn't let that power make him ignore everything else.

"Besides," the boy raised his head, his eyes clear, "If even the Spirit Pagoda and you are not trustworthy, I don't know what to do. I can't solve the problem myself; I can only seek help from my teachers."

Upon hearing Tang Wulin's last words, Xiong Jun's rugged face showed a slight change in expression. After a moment's thought, he reached out his broad hand and patted Tang Wulin's shoulder heavily.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Once the Master recovers, can a mere wisp of Divine Consciousness still cause trouble?

Moreover, now that Wulin has spoken up, they can try to find a solution together. Although he's not good at this, there are... beasts who are.

The only problem is that the relationship between that wisp of Divine Consciousness and Wulin is troublesome...

"I'll teach you a method first, so you can thoroughly introspect and see the specific situation. Since the Golden Dragon King Seal and that Old Tang exist within you, they can't be without any trace. Your own consciousness can definitely go there; you don't need to rely entirely on that Old Tang for guidance. Your physical and Spiritual Space should be under your own control."

After thinking for a moment, Xiong Jun decided to take it slowly. He first taught Tang Wulin a method for using Divine Power and a method for utilizing Qi and Blood. After watching him begin to practice, he left the place and reported the details to Gu Yuena.

"???"

Inside the room, Gu Yuena held up the Soul Tool Communicator and looked at Huo Yuhao, her gaze hesitantly shifting between the Communicator and Huo Yuhao.

Seeing this, Huo Yuhao spoke up, "What's wrong?"

Gu Yuena felt relieved and didn't try to hide anything, "Yuhao, did you guide him?"

The current situation is somewhat unexpected. It's no longer appropriate to keep Yuhao's matter a secret from Xiong Jun. She might need Yuhao's help if necessary.

But it's alright, it's just telling Xiong Jun and the others that I've gained an ally, it's nothing... right?

"No, it was Wulin's own choice."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied.

Xiong Jun, who was on the other end of the Soul Tool Communicator, was somewhat surprised to hear the two talking.

The Master someone by his side? And Yuhao... is that boy named Huo Yuhao?

Xiong Jun Huo Yuhao... I've heard this name repeated countless times over the past Ten Thousand Years.

Because historically, there "seemingly" no famous person has ever used this name, no one avoids using it when choosing a name. He has also met quite a few people with this name. At first, he reacted, but later he gradually became numb to it.

So I didn't think much about it before.

But now, the Master discussing such important information about the Golden Dragon King with him, and he hasn't even bothered to hide it from Huo Yuhao...

A hint of surprise flashed in Xiong Jun's eyes. Recalling some information he had received before and the intelligence that Gu Yuena had told him, he had a vague guess in his mind, but he was also somewhat incredulous.

Hiss, could this Huo Yuhao be Ling Bing from Ten Thousand Years Ago? He's still alive?

Having received the answer from Huo Yuhao, Gu Yuena frowned slightly and looked at the Soul Tool Communicator.

"Xiong Jun, what are your thoughts?"

Xiong Jun temporarily pulled himself together, hesitated for a moment, and then said in a very respectful tone, "My Master, since Wulin has already confessed the situation himself... could you give him a chance? All you need is the Golden Dragon King God Core, right?"

If there are other people present, we should give face to the Master.

"..."

Gu Yuena knew that her next words would determine Xiong Jun's attitude towards Tang Wulin.

She didn't answer immediately, but walked to the window and looked at the competition field in the distance, where cheers could be faintly heard.

Soul Spirit Competition is being held there.

Huo Yuhao noticed Gu Yuena's hesitation, walked slowly to her side, and followed her gaze to the bustling competition venue in the distance. "Want to go take a look?"

"Hmm, the Soul Spirit Competition is quite interesting. Such a harmonious scene couldn't have been seen Ten Thousand Years Ago."

Gu Yuena's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, she picked up the Soul Tool Communicator again and asked, "Xiong Jun, is this your request?"

Xiong Jun's gruff voice was very serious. "Yes, of course, if you disagree..."

"Since he chose to confess, let's give him a chance."

Gu Yuena's voice was cold and clear, "However, the Golden Dragon King's Divine Core must eventually be extracted, and that wisp of Divine Consciousness must also be dealt with. He may not be able to accept the truth after learning it, so be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Jun's eyes flashed with joy, but it quickly turned serious again. "Rest assured, my Master, I will keep a close eye on him."

Wulin, I haven't let you down by calling me master. Don't disappoint me.

I don't know if the Sea God treats you well, but our Spirit Pagoda isn't bad to you either, is it?

I don't ask for much. If I encounter a dilemma, I'll knock you out. Just don't cause trouble afterwards.

"Hmm." Gu Yuena responded softly, and was about to hang up when Xiong Jun's question came from the other end, "My Master, the one beside you wouldn't happen to be...?"

Gu Yuena exchanged a glance with Huo Yuhao and chuckled, "What do you think?"

A sharp "crack" suddenly came from the Communicator — Xiong Jun had accidentally crushed the table next to him. He muttered gruffly, "Damn it... this world is getting more and more surreal."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Xiong Jun, how have you been?"

Upon hearing this greeting, Xiong Jun was completely certain of the other person's identity. He took a deep breath and suddenly burst into laughter. "Good heavens! Ling Bing, you really didn't die! Looks like the days ahead won't be boring!"

From the other end of the Communicator came the sound of Xiong Jun pacing back and forth excitedly, his footsteps thumping loudly on the ground. "You're really something, surviving until now. Could it be that your failure was faked and you've actually become a god?"

"Your memorial still stands in the Star Dou Great Forest, and every year the little ones come to lay flowers... And many people also come to pay their respects at your tombstone; I even visited your grave myself."

"Well, this is great! The living are receiving offerings, which is essentially a form of faith in the gods. You've really struck gold over the past Ten Thousand Years!"

Huo Yuhao's smile froze instantly.

Gu Yuena's eyes curved into crescents as she gently covered her lips, her shoulders trembling slightly.

But quickly, her smile faded, and her voice took on an undeniable air of authority, "Since you know that Yuhao is a god, and my ally, you..."

Huo Yuhao gestured to stop Gu Yuena, clearing his throat lightly, "Just treat her as you always have."

Gu Yuena and Huo Yuhao exchanged a glance, remained silent for a moment, their expressions somewhat complicated, but quickly concealed, and she said, "Alright, let's leave it at that. I have something to discuss with Yuhao."

After hanging up the Soul Tool Communicator, Gu Yuena asked Huo Yuhao, "Yuhao, what do you think we should do now?"

"Since the Golden Dragon King is involved, what's your decision...?"

Seeing Gu Yuena's trusting gaze, Huo Yuhao paused, "How about this, let's wait until Wulin has explored the Spiritual Space himself. I have some doubts about the situation there."

With the position of Sea God gone, will the seal still be the same as before?

On the top floor of the hotel, Xiong Jun put away his Soul Tool Communicator with a smile on his face.

Ten Thousand Years Ago, his relationship with Huo Yuhao wasn't good. He had only met him once, and even then, it was only in Huo Yuhao's disguise. Among the Star Dou, only Di Tian truly understood Huo Yuhao, and some information was given to them by Di Tian.

At that time, they didn't care much about it, after all, they were just a slightly special human being. A hundred years later, they would be nothing but dust.

However, the perception of him Ten Thousand Years Ago is completely different from the perception of him now.

Xiong Jun walked to the window, looking down at the bustling scene below, filled with people Soul Spirit, and murmured:

"This scene today originated from you. I thought you would never see it, so I came to your grave to say hello. Now it seems you have already seen it."
