Chapter 113: The Deep Abyss Holy Lord Is Not Dead

This ring looks very peculiar, entirely deep blue, the body somewhat dim, with faintly visible peculiar patterns.

Even though it was only the first time seeing it, Bai Yuan instantly recognized the origin of this dark-blue ring.

Heavenly Sacred Rift Abyss Halberd!

This dark-blue ring is a super divine artifact, transformed from the Heavenly Sacred Rift Abyss Halberd, originally used by Tang Wulin when proposing to Gu Yue Na.

However, it is now being used by Gu Yue Na as a return gift, given to Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan felt moved by this, but more so doubtful.

According to what the Deep Abyss Holy Lord said, this super divine artifact should have been taken by the Asura God; how could it appear in Gu Yue Na's hands?

In an instant, two possibilities flashed through his mind.

First, it is bait thrown down by the Asura God.

Second, the Deep Abyss Holy Lord deceived him; the Asura God never took his Heavenly Sacred Rift Abyss Halberd, but instead threw it onto the Douluo Continent.

However, after Bai Yuan's analysis, he felt the first possibility was unlikely, after all the fish had already bitten the hook and even been brought before him.

If it were bait thrown down by the Asura God, he would have already been discovered by it, so Bai Yuan could not possibly be as calm as he is now.

As for the second possibility, it indicates that the Deep Abyss Holy Lord is likely still alive; the entity killed by the Asura God in the abyss is not his true self.

Or, like ten thousand years later, the Deep Abyss Holy Lord appears to have been killed, but actually discarded his status as plane master, retained part of his origin, and possessed a living being on the Douluo Continent.

"Na'er, where did you get this thing?" Bai Yuan played with the ring, and after finding nothing abnormal, turned his gaze to Gu Yue Na's exquisite face.

Gu Yue Na smiled without a word; Wang Qiu'er, who had come with her, gazed at Bai Yuan with big eyes, full of resentment, saying: "Master Father, this is something Qiu'er picked up in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Bai Yuan: ……

He momentarily did not know how to answer.

As for returning it to Wang Qiu'er, this is a gift Gu Yue Na gave him, and it's a ring; he could never return it in this lifetime.

However, Bai Yuan also understood Gu Yue Na's worry.

Worried that this super divine artifact might have a problem.

After all, Bai Yuan had told Gu Yue Na that the Heavenly Sacred Rift Abyss Halberd had already been taken by the Asura God; now it appears in the Star Dou Great Forest—how could one be at ease?

"Qiu'er, this thing is mine; later, as your master, I'll prepare another gift for you." Bai Yuan reached out to gently stroke Wang Qiu'er's golden hair, speaking softly to comfort her.

Wang Qiu'er's eyes lit up instantly as she said: "Master Father, if you go back on your word, you'll have to turn into a little puppy!"

Bai Yuan burst out laughing, he pinched Wang Qiu'er's nose and then her cheek, saying: "Okay, okay, if you go back on your word, you'll become a little puppy."

Wang Qiu'er, satisfied, said: "Master Father, go chat with the mistress; I'm going to find the senior sister's mother."

Hearing this, Bai Yuan couldn't help but look toward Gu Yue Na.

Gu Yue Na gave him an annoyed, coquettish glare.

"Good." Bai Yuan pointed in a direction.

Wang Qiu'er immediately flew over.

Bai Yuan once again turned his gaze to Gu Yue Na; this time his expression grew much more solemn as he said: "Na'er, is there no problem with this thing?"

Gu Yue Na said: "I checked one side, there's no problem."

"But I think you should check again just to be safe." On Gu Yue Na's flawless, crystal-like beautiful face, a playful smile appeared.

She also felt there was something wrong with this thing, but the issue surely isn't major, because a major problem couldn't be hidden.

Bai Yuan smiled as he slipped it onto his ring finger, saying: "No problem is fine. However, I feel the Deep Abyss Holy Lord is still alive and is on the Douluo Star; this thing is a hidden danger."

The Heavenly Sacred Rift Abyss Halberd having a problem would at most mean it cannot truly recognize its master, making it convenient for the Deep Abyss Holy Lord to seize it back after his resurrection.

But now Bai Yuan prepares to first deal with the Deep Abyss Holy Lord!

Gu Yue Na lightly nodded and said: "I also think that guy is still alive, and he used a bit of his comprehended karma way to search through this super divine artifact, but I found nothing."

"Let me try." Bai Yuan took out the Object-Seeking Guide.

【Object-Seeking Guide: The object or person one's mind seeks will definitely point to the correct direction (invalid for Nascent Soul stage and above, or special circumstances)】

【Object-Seeking Guide】, theoretically useless against the Deep Abyss Holy Lord, but since he discarded most of his origin, he likely fell to god level.

After all, if his strength hadn't dropped to god level, he could never escape the god king's sight; thus the 【Object-Seeking Guide】 might be useful.

Bai Yuan recalled the Deep Abyss Holy Lord's appearance in his mind; at the center of the compass without a needle, a needle instantly appeared.

"Is it in that direction?" Gu Yue Na whispered.

Bai Yuan took a deep breath, then slowly nodded, calming his inner shock.

Before, he merely thought the Deep Abyss Holy Lord should still be alive, but now that it's confirmed, he inevitably feels some surprise.

After all, speculation and confirmation are two different things; at the same time, Bai Yuan was shocked that the Deep Abyss Holy Lord could truly escape from the Asura God's grasp.

"Truly a centipede, dead yet not stiff."

Bai Yuan muttered a complaint under his breath.

Gu Yue Na said: "Shall we go take care of it now?"

Bai Yuan shook his head and said: "We cannot act now; if it were just Di Tian, it would easily let it escape."

"So what do you plan to do?" Gu Yue Na asked.

According to Bai Yuan, there is no one around him who can deal with the Deep Abyss Holy Lord; after all, even if the Deep Abyss Holy Lord fell to god level, he certainly still has demigod-level strength.

Bai Yuan and Gu Yue Na cannot act; Di Tian alone, it's estimated he couldn't subdue the Deep Abyss Holy Lord, even with the myriad fierce beasts, it's the same.

After all, at its core, that being was once equivalent to a first-rank god; even if it dropped to god level, it remains among the top tier of god-level beings.

Such an existence, unless forced to a life-or-death showdown, cannot be restrained by equal strength if it tries to flee.

Just like Bi Bi Dong and Qian Renxue fighting Tang San, they wanted to unify the continent, thus they had to engage in a life-or-death battle with Tang San.

If they lacked that intention, they could simply flee; Tang San couldn't kill them, and could even threaten them with the remaining Shrek Six Devils.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is likewise; he can completely run away.

The battle between Di Tian and Huo Yuhao is likewise; as for Huo Yuhao indiscriminately killing soul beasts, Di Tian can also indiscriminately kill humans, thus there is no possibility of taking action.

Bai Yuan said: "Looking for helpers."

"Helpers?" Gu Yue Na's gorgeous purple eyes flashed a hint of difference.

Bai Yuan lightly nodded.

He is about to reach the Golden Core stage.

At that time, he will obtain seven binding slots.

Bai Yuan is also at the time to go choose a new disciple.

As for the selection of the seven disciples, Bai Yuan has already thought it out.

Diti, Snow Empress, Bi Ji, Wan Yao King, Xiong Jun, Ice Empress, Magic Empress.

If one asks why there is no eighth-ranked Chi Wang, of course it's because the Magic Empress is a true dragon, its potential far stronger than that.
