Just then, Chen Xiaojun suddenly flashed a devilish smile and interjected, "Are you two elders heading to Sunset Forest?"
Chen Zixiu looked him over, then raised an eyebrow. "What is it, you little rascal? Cooking up another scheme?"
Chen Xiaojun blinked. "Of course not. I just wanted to give you two a reminder. Before going to Sunset Forest, why not stop by the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace? You might find a pleasant surprise."
Chen Zixiu paused, puzzled. "Uh, what would we go to the palace for?"
Bo Xian'er also cast him a questioning look. Both of them were plainly curious.
A gleam flashed in Chen Xiaojun's eyes. With a mysterious smile, he slowly said, "Great-grandmother, I heard the Sea God's Heart has been lost?"
Bo Xian'er's gaze immediately sharpened. "How did you know?"
This was one of Sea God Island's most closely guarded secrets, known to only a handful of people. The Sea God's Heart had been lost several hundred years ago, during the great war between Sea God Island and the Southwestern Sea Region.
Chen Zixiu looked at Bo Xian'er in confusion. "Xian'er, just what is the Sea God's Heart?"
Bo Xian'er explained, "It is the energy core of the Sea God's divine artifact, the Golden Trident."
Chen Zixiu turned to Chen Xiaojun. "Xiaojun, how did you learn about this? Were there clues about the Sea God's Heart in the memories your master left you?"
Bo Xian'er also asked eagerly, "Little Xiaojun, stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us what you know."
Chen Xiaojun smiled faintly, looking rather pleased with himself. "In the Heaven Dou Imperial Family's treasury, there is a national treasure called the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud."
"It looks like a three-dimensional triangle carved from sapphire, clear and crystalline. Its rippling patterns seem to hold endless mysteries.
