Chapter 83

Ye Ming's spiritual power probed into the Vast Sea Universe Cover, only to find it empty, with nothing inside!

No Sea God remnant, no spiritual object recognizing its master.

This made his heart sink.

He withdrew his spiritual power, looked at the Vast Sea Universe Cover in his hand, and his expression changed.

"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Tang San looked at Ye Ming and keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Nothing." Ye Ming chuckled, handed the Vast Sea Universe Cover in his hand to Tang San, and said: "Third Brother, try injecting your spiritual power into it and see if you can discover anything."

Tang San took the Vast Sea Universe Cover, feeling somewhat puzzled in his heart.

However, he trusted Ye Ming from the bottom of his heart now; although puzzled, he still released his spiritual power at the first opportunity and probed into the Vast Sea Universe Cover.

He had only injected a wisp of his spiritual power when, suddenly, a more powerful spiritual power bounced out from the Vast Sea Universe Cover, violently ejecting his wisp of spiritual power.

Tang San's eyes went white, and his whole body fell backward unconsciously. At the same time, the Vast Sea Universe Cover in his hand flew up violently and smashed squarely onto his forehead.

Ye Ming saw clearly that the sharp tip of the Vast Sea Universe Cover had smashed a small cut on Tang San's forehead. Blood flowed, and the Vast Sea Universe Cover spun around as if it had spirituality, sticking to his forehead and absorbing the blood.

The original blue halo gradually turned red.

After this Vast Sea Universe Cover absorbed enough blood, it flew back into Tang San's hand, retracting all its light, as if nothing had just happened.

Seeing this scene and looking at the unconscious Tang San, Ye Ming felt a toothache.

"So this Vast Sea Universe Cover is a bound piece of equipment!"

He sighed in his heart, already thinking of some possibilities.

He knew that after Tang San obtained the Killing God Domain in the City of Slaughter, he had actually already entered the sight of the Asura God.

The Killing God Domain is equivalent to an identity, the identity of inheriting the Asura God's position.

As the protagonist in this world, Tang San naturally gained the favor of the Asura God.

And in the God Realm, the Asura God and the Sea God have an unclear relationship.

Ye Ming couldn't help but think that the Sea God had probably already designated Tang San as the successor to his divine position.

This explained why there was no reaction when he injected his spiritual power, while Tang San only needed to inject a wisp of spiritual power for the Vast Sea Universe Cover to successfully recognize its master.

The fact that the Vast Sea Universe Cover recognized Tang San as its master did not break Ye Ming's defense.

In fact, as early as when he was at the Clear Sky Sect, he had already anticipated this scene.

The reason he got close to Tang San was also to prevent this from happening.

In Ye Ming's vision, if obtaining the Vast Sea Universe Cover allowed it to recognize its master, then Tang San would have no more utility value.

With his current strength, it wasn't that he absolutely had to have Xiao Wu's ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

Tang San's bloodline could just be used to improve his own aptitude.

When the time came, he could go to Sea God Island himself to inherit the Sea God's legacy; that would also be fine.

If the Vast Sea Universe Cover only recognized Tang San, which was the current situation, then he would quickly push the plot forward and use Tang San to strengthen himself! The assessments on Sea God Island could quickly improve his strength, and there were also God-Bestowed Spirit Rings he could plot for!

As for the matter of the Sea God's divine position falling through, he would just have to find another way.

Looking at the unconscious Tang San in front of him, Ye Ming shook his head and laughed.

"My four Immortal Gu right now still can't compare to the luck and heaven's will on your body!"

He felt no loss in his heart; no matter how strong luck and heaven's will are, if one's strength is strong enough, one can break all situations! With what he has mastered now, if he couldn't let Tang San escape his control, then he might as well refine a Strength-Pooping Gu and eat it, and just die from pooping.

A moment later, Tang San woke up slowly, jumped up from the ground violently, holding the Vast Sea Universe Cover in his hand, with confusion and excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Brother, what's going on with this thing? How did it make me faint?"

"But there's nothing unusual about my body; instead, I feel my spiritual power has improved quite a bit."

Ye Ming shook his head, "I'm not too sure either."

"Why don't you try injecting your soul power again?"

Although he had fainted just now, Tang San felt his spiritual power had grown quite a bit. Hearing Ye Ming's words, he didn't hesitate, held the Vast Sea Universe Cover, and directly injected his soul power into it.

Blue light flashed, and the azure triangular body floated up from his palm, starting to rotate slowly.

Suddenly, he saw a wisp of blood-colored light from the Vast Sea Universe Cover, and immediately after, a stream of blue light shot into his brow.

Tang San felt his whole body tremble, and a vast amount of information passed through his spiritual sense and rushed into his mind.

He felt his soul and consciousness immersed in a wonderful world; it was an endless blue sea and sky, with the surging ocean beneath his feet and the cloudless blue sky above his head.

Wisps of clear information were transmitted into his mind, each piece of information very clear, engraving all the wonderful uses of the Vast Sea Universe Cover into his soul.

After a while, Tang San stopped injecting soul power, and the Vast Sea Universe Cover retracted its light and fell into his hand.

Excitement flashed in Tang San's eyes; he looked at Ye Ming and said happily: "Brother, the Heaven Dou Empire has sent a big gift to you!"

"This thing is a divine artifact!!"

"This Vast Sea Universe Cover can use four skills: Vast Sea Protective Cover, Universe Fixing God Cover, Vast Sea Raging Waves, and Universe Breaking Demon; its uses are extremely great!"

He handed the Vast Sea Universe Cover to Ye Ming, but a trace of reluctance rose in his heart.

In the dark, Tang San felt that this divine artifact was particularly compatible with him. But this thing belonged to Ye Ming; he was his brother and his benefactor, so he couldn't bring himself to snatch it.

Ye Ming seemed to see through the trace of reluctance in Tang San's heart and pushed the Vast Sea Universe Cover back.

"Third Brother, divine artifacts choose their masters. If I'm not mistaken, I can no longer use this thing."

"Since that's the case, I'll give it to you!"

A trace of guilt rose in Tang San's heart; looking at Ye Ming, he seemed somewhat at a loss.

"We are brothers; why are you being so polite with me!"

Looking at Tang San's struggling appearance, Ye Ming directly took the Vast Sea Universe Cover and injected soul power, but the Vast Sea Universe Cover had no reaction.

"See, this thing should be yours!"

Seeing this, Tang San accepted the Vast Sea Universe Cover.

He reached out and took out his Lan Hao King jade pendant, handed it to Ye Ming, and said: "Brother, I know this thing is completely incomparable to the Vast Sea Universe Cover, but this is a token of my heart!"

"If you don't accept it, I would rather let the divine artifact gather dust than accept this Vast Sea Universe Cover!"

"Third Brother, you are being too formal." Ye Ming smiled bitterly.

Tang San didn't speak and directly stuffed the jade pendant into Ye Ming's hand.

Ye Ming had no choice but to accept the jade pendant.

Tang San smiled, looked at Ye Ming very seriously, and said: "Brother, thank you!"

Ye Ming waved his hand, "It's all resolved; we should also prepare for the trip to Sea God Island."

Tang San nodded, but a look of struggle appeared on his face.

He looked at Ye Ming and said: "Brother, I have a favor to ask of you."

"This trip to Sea God Island will probably take a few years to return; I want to go see my parents."

"My father has always wanted to return to the Clear Sky Sect; now that you are the Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect, can you accompany me so that my father can return to the Clear Sky Sect!"

Hearing this, Ye Ming punched Tang San's chest, "Third Brother, you are still being so polite with me!"

"Isn't your father also my Second Uncle? I should be the one to go visit Second Uncle and invite him back to the Clear Sky Sect!"

"Let's not delay; let's set off now! Taking advantage of this time, let Rongrong and the others tell their families and say a proper goodbye!"

Tang San nodded heavily, his eyes full of being moved.

"Good! I'll go pick up Xiao Wu, and we'll set off!"

"After we return from Sunset Forest, we'll set off for Sea God Island!"

Ye Ming naturally had no objections; he was also very interested in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! If it were feasible, he would also like to upgrade the Heaven Essence Treasure Lotus Gu to Rank 4!

The next day, the Heaven Dou Empire held a grand funeral for Dugu Bo.

The Heaven Dou Imperial Family, Shrek Academy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect... and other forces all sent people to see Dugu Bo off.

Dugu Bo's body was cremated in the square, and the head spirit bone left behind was handed to his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

It wasn't until the third day that Tang San took Xiao Wu and Ye Ming to rush towards Sunset Forest.

As the second largest soul beast gathering place in the Heaven Dou territory, Sunset Forest was actually not too far from Tiandou City.

Tang San possessed the spirit bone skill of flight, and Ye Ming's Thunder Wing Gu was also treated by them as a second martial soul without an attached spirit ring.

With the two of them rushing at full speed, they arrived in Sunset Forest in less than half a day.

The closer they got to the center of the forest, the more Tang San struggled in his heart.

This place was once Dugu Bo's place of seclusion, and it was also the place where his parents were currently recuperating.

Not to mention Dugu Bo's matter for now, how should he tell his father about the Clear Sky Sect?

Tang San knew clearly that this matter could not be kept from his father forever.

Those were his father's blood relatives, and he also had the right to know.

Better a short pain than a long one; Tang San still decided to tell them!

Soon the three arrived at the mountain peak where Dugu Bo once lived in seclusion. Tang San said to Ye Ming: "Be careful, there is a special place below, and the aura that dissipates is difficult for ordinary people to bear."

After speaking, he remembered Ye Ming's terrifying combat power, "I forgot, with your strength, you naturally have no fear of these."

Ye Ming smiled slightly and followed Tang San to jump down from the mountain peak.

Passing through the rising clouds and mist, a dreamlike scene appeared before their eyes.

Ye Ming saw the spring of extreme cold and extreme heat at a glance—the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Beside this special small lake, various plants grew even more densely.

A figure with one leg and one arm stood there quietly, that pair of gentle eyes looking in their direction.

Seeing this figure, Tang San could no longer control himself; his eyes were red, and he pulled Xiao Wu to fly in front of Tang Hao.

He could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart, and with red eyes, he shouted: "Dad."
