A grand banquet has already been arranged.

Inside the hall, long jade tables were neatly arranged, with precious spiritual fruits and fine wines scattered about, their fragrance filling the air. More than ten elderly men with white hair and beards and composed demeanors sat on both sides. They were all Level Nine Soul Engineer who had cultivated Illustrious Virtue Hall for hundreds of years and were the top founders of Soul Guidance Technology in the entire Douluo Continent.

As Li Xun and Qian Renxue entered the Great Hall side by side, all the elders immediately stood up, bowed and clasped their hands in unison, displaying the utmost respect.

"Welcome, Lord Asura God and Angel God!"

The deep, resonant sounds gathered together, causing the hall to hum slightly. These top scholars, who were dedicated to their research and had no regard for hierarchy, were now filled with pure awe.

It's not just their god-like strength that inspires awe, but also the Soul Spirit technology theory that Li Xun previously revealed, which is enough to revolutionize the entire era.

Li Xun raised his hand in a gesture of restraint, his expression calm. "Gentlemen, there's no need for formalities. Today, we won't discuss divine positions or identities, but only techniques and technological research."

With just a few words, the tense and solemn atmosphere in the hall was instantly dispelled.

The guests took their seats in turn, and the banquet officially began. There were no tedious courtly formalities during the banquet. All the Level Nine Soul Engineer were pragmatic scholars. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they couldn't wait to get to the core issues.

The head of the Illustrious Virtue Hall, with his white hair reaching his shoulders and eyes full of earnestness and longing, rose and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, asking, "Your Excellency, we have always faced a major bottleneck that we cannot overcome—the technology related to the Soul Spirit Creation Machine. We have pondered this for a long time, but we still cannot figure out how Soul Guidance Technology can intervene in the process of Soul Beast transforming into Soul Spirit?"

Li Xun picked up the spiritual tea beside him, took a small sip, his gaze calm and distant, and slowly began to explain.

"Like this, like that..."

The imagery on the Heavenly Screen gradually dimmed as it reached this point.

Everyone knew that the Heavenly Screen was about to close.

Is that all?

I wonder when I'll be able to come back next time!

Who knows? Hopefully it will happen soon.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy

Li Xun, along with the two elders Golden Crocodile and Lightbow, traveled swiftly and arrived at the academy in the afternoon.

As the sunlight slanted in, the training ground was no longer filled with the usual figures. Several people were gathered at the edge of the field, their bags placed at their feet, clearly making their final preparations.

Tang San stood at the very front, his gaze steady, with Xiao Wu holding his arm beside him, her rabbit ear hair ornaments swaying slightly in the sunlight.

Shui Bing'er, dressed in a plain blue dress, stood quietly beside her. Ning Rongrong was stuffing the last few items into her bag. Zhu Zhuqing leaned against the railing with her arms crossed. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling stood side by side, their expressions showing a hint of sadness at the impending separation.

Li Xun walked straight into the training ground without stopping.

Tang San was the first to notice, turning around and slightly startled upon seeing who it was. "Brother Xun? What brings you here?"

Li Xun stopped, looked around, and got straight to the point. "You've come at the right time; you haven't left yet."

Ning Rongrong stopped what she was doing, looked up at him, and asked, "You... came all this way specifically to see us?"

"Yes." Li Xun nodded decisively. "My Asura God Third Trial is to take Tang San to Sea God Island to receive the Sea God Inheritance. I plan to have you both go with me."

"Sea God Island?" Tang San's eyebrows twitched slightly. He had obviously heard the name, but had never thought he would be able to go there in person.

Xiao Wu's eyes lit up, and she tugged at Tang San's sleeve. "Third Brother, Sea God Island, that's a legendary place!"

Li Xun continued, "Sea God Island has a complete cultivation system that is very beneficial for improving Soul Power. Instead of you all scattering and burying yourselves in your own cultivation, why don't you come with me? Whether it's cultivation or broadening your horizons, it's better than working in isolation."

Shui Bing'er nodded slightly upon hearing this, her eyes thoughtful. Zhu Zhuqing spoke first, decisively. "I'll go."

Ning Rongrong barely hesitated, dusting off her hands. "Of course I should be included in such a good thing."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement. Xiao Wu even raised her hand immediately. "If Third Brother goes, I'll definitely go too!"

Tang San pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Xun: "Sea God Island isn't something you can just go to whenever you want, is it? Since you're taking me on this trip, you should have a concrete plan."

Li Xun, "First, go to the Heaven Dou Palace and find Xue Ye. I need to obtain the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which is the key to your inheritance of the Sea God's legacy."

Upon hearing the words "Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud," Tang San's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded. "I see. Then what are we waiting for? Let's go."

After a quick packing, the group followed Li Xun out of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and headed straight for the Heaven Dou Palace.

The Imperial Palace is magnificent, with towering walls.

Li Xun presented his calling card, and the guards at the gate, upon seeing the Spirit Hall's insignia and Li Xun's name, dared not neglect him and relayed the message all the way.

Before long, a palace attendant quickly came out to lead the way and brought everyone into the imperial study.

On Xue Ye sat upright behind his desk, dressed in casual clothes, his expression displaying the composure unique to an emperor.

He looked up at Li Xun as he entered, then glanced at Tang San and the others, and slowly said, "Asura God Li Xun, what brings you here with a bunch of kids from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy?"

Li Xun bowed respectfully and said without beating around the bush, "Your Majesty, I have come here for the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. My Asura God Trial requires me to go to Sea God Island, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is the key. I humbly request Your Majesty to bestow it upon me."

Upon hearing this, Xue Ye's brow twitched slightly, and he tapped his fingers lightly twice on the imperial desk, without immediately responding.

His gaze passed over Li Xun and landed on the two figures standing silently behind him.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was burly and his aura was as deep as an abyss, Light Feather Douluo was slender and his Soul Power was restrained yet unfathomable.

Two Titled Douluo stood guard on either side of Li Xun, their postures composed, clearly indicating that Li Xun was in charge.

Xue Ye's gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment before returning to Li Xun, a subtle change in the expression in his eyes.

He had seen the future revealed by the Heavenly Screen. This young man before him would one day ascend to the Asura God Position, and those around him would also have their own destinies.

Although the Six Worshippers of the Spirit Hall have not yet become gods in the future of the Heavenly Screen, they are all top-tier beings who are renowned in their respective regions.

The fact that these two Titled Douluo are now willing to accompany and protect him demonstrates Li Xun's importance within the Spirit Hall.

Xue Ye's mind raced. Although the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was a national treasure, if he could use it to forge a good relationship and gain the favor of a future Asura God, it would be a worthwhile investment no matter how you looked at it.

Moreover, Li Xun in the Heavenly Screen will create the Soul Spirit System and train the Sun Moon Empress in the future. Befriending such a person can only benefit the Heaven Dou Empire.

Having made up his mind, he remained expressionless, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and slowly said, "The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is the national treasure of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, and it is never bestowed upon others."

Li Xun's expression remained unchanged, and he was about to speak again to try and persuade the Xue Ye, when he put down his teacup and changed the subject. "However..."

He glanced at the two elders, Golden Crocodile and Lightbow, then looked at Li Xun, his tone softening. "The inheritor of the Asura God has come in person, accompanied by two Titled Douluo. If I don't even give them this much face, it would make the Heaven Dou Imperial Family seem out of touch with reality."

Xue Ye raised his hand, gesturing to the eunuch beside him. The eunuch bowed and withdrew, soon bringing out an ancient jade box with intricate patterns on its surface and a faint blue halo flowing around it.

He opened the jade box himself, and inside lay a Soul Tool, its entire body a deep blue and shaped like a hemisphere, with water-like patterns flowing slowly, exuding a warm and vast aura.

"The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, I bestow it upon you today." Xue Ye pushed the jade box onto the table, his gaze falling on Li Xun. "This item has guarded the Heaven Dou Empire for many years. Today, I entrust it to you because I have high hopes for your mission. Do not disappoint me."

Li Xun accepted the jade box with both hands, solemnly stored it in his Storage Soul Tool, and bowed deeply. "Thank you for bestowing this treasure upon me, Your Majesty. I will certainly not fail in my duty."

Xue Ye waved his hand and laughed, "Go. If you truly become the Asura God in the future, just remember this friendship from the Heaven Dou Empire."
