125: Chapter 125 The Inheritor of the Gods, The Shock of the Seven Elders

A few days later, in Spirit City, Yun Yuan returned to this familiar place.

After returning to Spirit City, Yun Yuan walked straight toward the Elder Hall; he had returned this time to bring his Grandmaster with him to the ocean.

He had spent enough time accumulating strength at the Spirit Saint stage—a full two and a half years—and it was time to hunt the Deep Sea Demon Whale King to serve as his eighth spirit ring, allowing him to successfully Breakthrough to Spirit Douluo.

Inside the Elder Hall, Qian Daoliu sensed Yun Yuan the moment he entered, but what puzzled him was this:

He actually sensed a trace of divine power on Yun Yuan. Only someone like him, who served a Divinity day and night, and who was focusing his attention on Yun Yuan, could perceive that subtle power.

After Yun Yuan walked in, Qian Daoliu did not immediately ask him about the divine power; instead, he turned to ask about the super Douluo of the ocean.

"Xiao Yuan, you seem quite cheerful upon your return. You must have successfully persuaded that super Douluo of the ocean to join us in our operation to hunt the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, right?"

He was now fully prepared; not only had he adjusted his own state to its Peak, but he had also borrowed the Divine Artifact, the Angelic Sacred Sword, from the Angel God.

"Yes, Grandmaster. That super Douluo of the ocean is willing to hunt the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with us."

"I returned this time to take you to the ocean. Once Bo Saixi's forces locate the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, that Deep Sea Demon Whale King will undoubtedly die!"

Yun Yuan clenched his fists, a flash of brilliance crossing his eyes, full of confidence.

"Oh? So confident? Xiao Yuan, could it be that you've found another trump card?"

Yun Yuan's original plan was not like this; with Yun Yuan, himself, and Bo Saixi—two super Douluos who could wield Divine Power—they had said there was a great chance of hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

Yet, at this moment, Yun Yuan's statement implied a one hundred percent chance of hunting that Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

In Qian Daoliu's view, this was related to the divine power Yun Yuan possessed after his trip.

Hearing the conversation between Qian Daoliu and Yun Yuan, the other six elders in the Elder Hall opened their eyes, wanting to know where Yun Yuan's confidence came from.

Qian Daoliu had told them about hunting the Deep Sea Demon Whale King some time ago, and they also knew that Yun Yuan's strength had reached the Quasi-God level, officially making him the leader of Spirit Hall.

In his normal state, Qian Daoliu's strength was roughly at the Peak of a half-god; he had not stepped into the Quasi-God level. However, after using the Angelic Divine Power, Qian Daoliu's strength would briefly surpass the Quasi-God level and reach the Divine-Grade.

But even if Yun Yuan reached the Quasi-God level, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a Spirit Beast nearing a million years, with strength permanently standing at the Peak of the Quasi-God level.

Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, the two super Douluos who could borrow Divine Power—even if they could borrow Divine Power, they were not the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's match in a prolonged battle.

Seeing that the seven elders were all curious, Yun Yuan did not hide anything; the seven people before him were all close to him, and being a Divinity Successor was not some great secret.

The next moment, Yun Yuan proudly puffed out his chest, a faint smile appearing on his face as the God Test mark on his forehead gradually emerged.

The six elders, excluding Qian Daoliu, only sensed power surpassing that of a Spirit Master from the God Test mark on Yun Yuan's forehead.

But they did not know that this mark represented that Yun Yuan was a true Divinity Successor; as long as he passed the God Test, he could become an immortal Divinity.

But Qian Daoliu was different; as the High Priest of the God of the Angel God, he had a profound understanding of God Test marks.

He clearly knew that his grand-disciple had already received the favor of a Divinity and could become a Divinity as long as he passed the God Test.

"Xiao Yuan, you truly obtained a tremendous Opportunity on your trip this time."

"Perhaps before long, another Divinity will appear in our Spirit Hall."

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, the other six elders had faint guesses in their hearts.

At this time, Yun Yuan also began to explain the situation to Qian Daoliu and the other seven.

"Grandmaster, Junior Martial Uncles, I obtained a Legacy item of a Divinity while I was out. At the time, I intended to have that Legacy item recognize me as its master."

"But I never expected that after I dripped a drop of blood on it, not long after, this God Test mark appeared on my forehead, and I directly became a Divinity Successor."

Listening to Yun Yuan's words, except for Qian Daoliu, who had already become a High Priest of the God, the other six elders looked at Yun Yuan with envious eyes.

This luck was too Heaven-Defying; just by going out, he received the favor of a Divinity, achieving the dream that countless Spirit Masters yearned for.

But Yun Yuan's account was not yet finished.

"The Divinity I inherited is named the Sea God. The other High Priest of the God I mentioned to Grandmaster before is the one who worships the Sea God."

"After becoming the Sea God's Successor, the Sea God granted me one strike of the Seagod's Light. This strike can restrain the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and significantly weaken his strength."

"That is why I am so confident that I can hunt that Deep Sea Demon Whale King, which is nearing a million years."

After Yun Yuan finished speaking, the depths of the Elder Hall fell into a silence; everyone could not recover for a long time.

"Xiao Yuan, ever since you displayed your talent, I knew you would eventually embark on the path of a Divinity. I just never expected that this day would come so quickly."

"Grandmaster here congratulates you first. Having become a Divinity Successor, with your talent and strength, the God Test will surely not stump you. Before long, you should be able to Breakthrough to level one hundred and become a Divinity."

After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, the other six elders congratulated Yun Yuan one after another; they were all genuinely happy for him from the bottom of their hearts.

Just as Qian Daoliu said, with Yun Yuan's talent and strength, he would eventually embark on the path to becoming a Divinity one day. Being able to witness the birth of a Divinity was already a great fortune.

"Right, there is no time to lose. Xiao Yuan, Grandmaster will bring the Angelic Sacred Sword and head to the ocean with you to hunt that Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

Knowing about Yun Yuan's gains, Qian Daoliu began to focus his attention on Yun Yuan's eighth spirit ring.

"Bring the Angelic Sacred Sword? Grandmaster, you actually intend to bring a Divine Artifact?"

Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Yun Yuan's heart was slightly shocked; he did not expect Qian Daoliu to take this matter so seriously.

Using the Angelic Sacred Sword would cause a great drain on Qian Daoliu; if it were serious, it might take several years, or even a decade or more, to restore his state to its Peak.

"Grandmaster, unless it is an absolute last resort, you should not use the Angelic Sacred Sword. With our current foundation, it is already enough to hunt that Deep Sea Demon Whale King."

Yun Yuan persuaded Qian Daoliu, his eyes filled with worry.

"Rest assured, Xiao Yuan. Now that I know you possess the Seagod's Light as a trump card, Grandmaster will not easily use the Angelic Sacred Sword."

"Grandmaster bringing the Angelic Sacred Sword this time is just to be safe. If any accident occurs, there is still this Angelic Sacred Sword trump card of mine to fall back on."

Knowing Qian Daoliu's plan, Yun Yuan finally set his mind at ease; using only the Angelic Divine Power would cause very little drain on Qian Daoliu.

But if one were to forcibly unleash the power of the Angelic Sacred Sword using Angelic Divine Power, that act of forcing a Mortal body to leverage divine authority—unless the Divine Artifact recognized the user as its master—would result in a terrifying backlash.
