Chapter 134: Bear Monarch: I Even Visited Your Grave Before

Xiong Jun's mood had originally been quite complex.

He'd just taken on a disciple, so how did it involve the Sea God?

Upon hearing Tang Wulin actively reveal his hand, Xiong Jun's expression gradually turned strange, and after a moment of silence he asked, "Wu Lin, don't you want the power of the Golden Dragon King? This should be your biggest secret, right? Powerful bloodline power easily draws prying eyes."

Tang Wulin was stunned, then shook his head with a bitter smile. "It's not even my own thing. I even hope to have it removed."

It's a bomb that could take his life; before, it even forced him to desperately earn money. To say he liked that feeling was impossible.

Of course, to say he loathed it wasn't right either. He'd gotten to where he was relying on the Golden Dragon King's power, but not to the point of ignoring everything else because of it.

"Moreover." The youth raised his head, his gaze clear. "If even the Spirit Pagoda and you aren't trustworthy, I don't know what to do. I can't solve the problem myself, so I can only seek my teacher's help."

Hearing Tang Wulin's last sentence, Xiong Jun's rugged face softened slightly. After thinking for a moment, he extended his broad palm and heavily patted the youth's shoulder.

"Don't worry, leave it to me as your master."

Once the Master recovers, can a wisp of divine sense still cause trouble?

Moreover, now that Wu Lin has spoken up, they can first think of a way and cooperate to solve it. Although he isn't skilled in this aspect, there's someone... a beast... who is.

The only problem is that the relationship between that wisp of divine sense and Wu Lin is a trouble...

"I'll first teach you a method to thoroughly examine your own body and see the specific situation. Since the Golden Dragon King Seal and that old Tang exist within your body, they can't leave no trace. Your own spiritual awareness can certainly go there; you don't have to rely entirely on that old Tang to guide you. Your body and spiritual space should be ruled by yourself."

Xiong Jun thought it over, intending to take it slow. He first taught Tang Wulin a method of using spiritual power and a method of using blood qi, watched him begin practicing, then left this place to first report the specific situation to Gu Yue Na.

???

In the room, Gu Yue Na held a soul guide communication device, looking toward Huo Yuhao, her gaze hesitantly wandering between the communication device and Huo Yuhao.

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

Gu Yue Na felt reassured and didn't conceal it. "Yuhao, was it you who guided him?"

The current situation was somewhat unexpected. Yuhao's matter wasn't suitable to hide from Xiong Jun; when necessary, she might need Yuhao's help.

But it was fine. It was just informing Xiong Jun and them that she had gained an ally. It wasn't anything... right?

"No, it was Wu Lin's own choice."

Huo Yuhao shook his head and replied.

Xiong Jun on the other end of the soul guide communication device heard the two communicating and was somewhat surprised.

Someone beside the Master? And Yuhao... is that the child named Huo Yuhao?

Huo Yuhao... this name, Xiong Jun had heard many repetitions of over ten thousand years.

Because historically there "seemed" to be no famous person using this name, no one avoided it when naming, and he had seen quite a few people with this name. At first he reacted, but gradually he became numb.

So he hadn't thought much of it before.

But now the Master was communicating such important information about the Golden Dragon King with him, and actually didn't conceal anything in front of this Huo Yuhao...

A trace of astonishment flashed in Xiong Jun's eyes. Connecting it with some information he had obtained before and the intelligence Gu Yue Na told him, he faintly had a guess in his heart, yet found it somewhat unbelievable.

Hiss, could this Huo Yuhao be Ling Bing from ten thousand years ago? He's actually still alive?

Getting an answer from Huo Yuhao, Gu Yue Na slightly furrowed her brow and looked toward the soul guide communication device.

"Xiong Jun, what do you think?"

Xiong Jun temporarily withdrew his thoughts, hesitated for a moment, and said in a very respectful tone: "Master, since Wu Lin has already confessed the situation himself... can you give him a chance? What you need is only the Golden Dragon King Divine Core, right?"

With others present, he had to give the Master face.

Gu Yue Na knew that her next words would determine Xiong Jun's attitude toward Tang Wulin.

She didn't answer immediately, but instead walked to the window, looking toward the competition grounds in the distance. Cheers faintly drifted over.

The Spirit Competition was being held there.

Huo Yuhao sensed Gu Yue Na's hesitation, slowly walked to her side, and followed her gaze toward the lively competition grounds in the distance. "Want to go take a look?"

"Mm, the Spirit Competition is quite interesting. Ten thousand years ago, such a harmonious scene couldn't be seen."

Gu Yue Na's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, she picked up the soul guide communication device again and said, "Xiong Jun, is this your request?"

Xiong Jun's rugged voice was very solemn: "Yes, of course, if you disagree..."

"Since he chose to confess, then give him a chance."

Gu Yue Na's voice was clear and cold. "However, the Golden Dragon King's divine core must eventually be removed, and that wisp of divine sense must also be dealt with. After he knows the truth, he may not be able to accept it. Prepare yourself mentally."

Hearing this, a flash of joy crossed Xiong Jun's eyes, but it soon turned solemn. "Master, rest assured. I will be responsible for keeping a close watch on him."

Wu Lin, I haven't disgraced you calling me Master. Don't let me down.

I don't know if the Sea God treats you well, but our Spirit Pagoda doesn't treat you badly, right?

I don't ask for much. When you encounter a dilemma, I'll knock you unconscious. Afterward, just don't make a scene.

"Mm." Gu Yue Na responded softly. Just as she was about to hang up, Xiong Jun's question came from the other end: "Master, could the one beside you be...?"

Gu Yue Na exchanged a glance with Huo Yuhao and said with a light laugh, "What do you think?"

Suddenly, a crisp "crack" came from the communication device—Xiong Jun had accidentally crushed the table beside him. He muttered in a rough voice: "Damn... this world is getting more and more fantastical."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Xiong Jun, long time no see."

Hearing this greeting, Xiong Jun completely confirmed the other's identity. He took a deep breath, then suddenly burst into loud laughter: "Good fellow! Ling Bing, you actually didn't die! Looks like the days ahead won't be boring!"

From the other end of the communication device came the sound of Xiong Jun pacing back and forth excitedly, the ground thumping under his footsteps. "You're really something, able to live until now. Could it be that you faked failure and truly became a god?"

"In the Star Dou Great Forest, your monument still stands. Every year, little ones go to offer flowers... and at your tombstone, quite a few people go to pay respects. I even visited your grave for you."

"Now this is good. A living person receiving incense. In other words, it's the faith of a deity. Over these ten thousand years, you've really made a killing!"

Huo Yuhao's smile instantly froze.

Gu Yue Na's eyes curved into crescent moons. She lightly covered her lips, her shoulders trembling slightly.

But soon, she restrained her smile, her voice carrying "unquestionable dignity": "Since you know Yuhao is a deity and my ally, you..."

Huo Yuhao reached out to stop Gu Yue Na, lightly coughed once, and said, "Just interact as per our past identities."

Gu Yue Na and Huo Yuhao looked at each other, silent for an instant, their gazes somewhat complex, but they soon concealed it, and she said: "Alright, let's end the topic here. I have some matters to discuss with Yuhao."

Hanging up the Soul Guide Communication Device, Gu Yue Na said to Huo Yuhao: "Yuhao, what do you think we should do now?"

"Involving the Golden Dragon King, you decide..."

Seeing Gu Yue Na's trusting gaze, Huo Yuhao paused mid-sentence: "Let's do this. Let's wait until Wu Lin has explored his own Spiritual Space before we say anything. I have some doubts about the situation there."

Even the position of Sea God is gone—will that Seal still be the same as before?

On the top floor of the Jiu Dian, Xiong Jun put away his Soul Guide Communication Device with a smile on his face.

Ten thousand years ago, his relationship with Huo Yuhao wasn't good; they had merely met, and even then it was in the other's disguised form. Among the Star Dou, only Di Tian truly understood Huo Yuhao, and some intelligence was told to them by Di Tian.

Back then, they didn't take it to heart, after all he was merely a somewhat special human. A hundred years pass, and it's just yellow earth.

But their view of him ten thousand years ago, and their view of him now, are already completely different.

Xiong Jun walked to the window, watching the bustling scene below of people coming and going accompanied by Spirit Souls, and murmured softly:

"The scene today originates from you. I thought you would never see it again, so I came to say a few words before your grave. Now it seems you have already seen it."
