128: Chapter 128 Vast Ocean Universe Cover
"A-Xuan." Shui Binger asked curiously, "What is the use of this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
"It is related to the Sea God's Legacy." Ji Xuan handed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to her, "Binger, try to see if you can gain its recognition."
"The Sea God's Legacy?" Shui Binger's eyes widened instantly, and she stared blankly at the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in front of her.
But soon, she regained her senses, looked up at Ji Xuan, and shook her head decisively: "A-Xuan, I cannot take this."
While the God Position Legacy was certainly tempting, if there was only one chance, she would rather give it to Ji Xuan.
Ji Xuan laughed and shook his head: "I have no interest in the Sea God's Legacy, so you don't need to worry about me."
"Besides, after becoming a god, the years are long. Don't you want to accompany me to see the scenery of the Divine Realm?"
"Of course I do." Shui Binger's heart trembled.
"Then give it a try." Ji Xuan moved the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud a little closer.
"Okay." Shui Binger no longer hesitated, reached out to take the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, "A-Xuan, how do I do this?"
"Use blood as a catalyst."
Shui Binger nodded, bit her fingertip, and fresh blood continuously dripped onto the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
To her surprise, the blood did not slide off the surface of the shroud but was instead drawn by an invisible force, soaking completely into it.
After only a moment, the blue halo on the surface of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud turned red.
But soon, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud trembled violently, the red light quickly faded, and it returned to its original state.
"This..." Shui Binger looked at Ji Xuan in confusion.
Ji Xuan did not say much; he raised his hand and flicked his finger, and a soft green light landed on her fingertip, instantly healing the wound as if it had never been there.
Shui Binger's talent was unquestionable, but unfortunately, her Physique ultimately could not bear the power of the Vast Sea, which was why she fell short at the final moment.
But just then, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud suddenly broke free from her palm, turned into a streak of azure light, and shot straight toward Ji Xuan's forehead.
Bang—
Ji Xuan was struck on the forehead, and the powerful impact sent him falling backward toward the sofa.
Even with his current powerful Physique, his defense was easily broken, which shows the sharpness of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
"Hiss—"
Ji Xuan did not pass out, but a sharp pain instantly struck him, making him unable to help but gasp.
"A-Xuan, you are okay!" Shui Binger was full of worry and wanted to step forward to check on him.
Ji Xuan gave her a reassuring look.
Shui Binger paused, and could only watch Ji Xuan with worry.
Just then, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud stuck to his forehead, frantically absorbing his blood, and the red light erupted once again.
A moment later, a faint blue light drifted out, condensing into a blurry phantom in mid-air.
A plain but aged voice sounded: "I do not know how much time has passed, but I have finally found blood with a decent taste.
And I have finally found a Physique capable of bearing the power of the Vast Sea."
The moment the voice fell, the phantom turned into specks of blue light, all of which merged into the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
The red halo receded, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud returned to its original appearance and landed in Ji Xuan's palm.
Ji Xuan focused his mind, and the wound on his forehead healed as if it had never been there.
He rubbed his still-aching forehead, sat up straight, looked at the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in his palm, and a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes.
He did not expect this thing to actively seek him out.
The Sea God Position, he really did not care for it.
However... whatever.
He would just fleece the Sea God enough first, and then simply choose not to inherit the God Position.
Once his strength was sufficient, even if the Sea God descended to the mortal world, what could he do to him?
"A-Xuan, you... did you succeed?" Shui Binger whispered in surprise, but deep in her eyes was a trace of imperceptible disappointment.
If Ji Xuan really became a god and achieved Ascension, then what about her?
Would she be left alone in this mortal world to grow old, eventually turning into a mound of dirt?
Ji Xuan was so sharp that he saw through her thoughts at a glance.
He casually put away the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and reached out to rub her head: "Silly girl, it is just a Sea God Position; I will definitely find you another God Position in the future."
"Mm, thank you, A-Xuan." Shui Binger smiled, and the disappointment in her eyes was swept away.
She actually did not care about any God Position; as long as she could be with Ji Xuan, that was enough.
"Let's not talk about that for now." Ji Xuan's lips curled up, and his gaze stared straight at Shui Binger.
The moment their eyes met, Shui Binger immediately understood; she hooked her hands around Ji Xuan's neck, and her vermilion lips slowly approached...
...
The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to brighten.
A luxurious carriage slowly drove out of the gates of Spirit City.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was driving the carriage himself; he planned to take everyone to Vast Sea City before returning to Spirit Hall to report.
Even if Bibi Dong found out about this later, at most she would just punish him lightly.
Nowadays, Bibi Dong was in a period of needing personnel, and the top combat forces under her were just him and Ghost Douluo, so she would definitely not be heavy-handed with him over such a trivial matter.
...
Vast Sea City, built by the sea, was the only port on the western coast of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Dozens of days later, everyone finally arrived at this city.
The journey was calm and peaceful, and they did not encounter any Wolftaken.
It seemed that group of Wolftaken had not yet wandered into this area.
Just as they got off the carriage, they saw the city gate bustling with activity, mostly merchant caravans coming and going.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan bid farewell to everyone and headed back in the direction of Spirit Hall.
At this time, the setting sun was slanting to the west, and the clouds in the sky were dyed orange-red.
Ji Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over everyone: "It is getting late, let's find a hotel to rest for the night, and we will set off for Sea God Island early tomorrow morning."
Everyone agreed and followed Ji Xuan into the city.
Hu Liena and Xie Yue walked side by side at the end of the line; having traveled together all the way, the two had long since become familiar with Feng Xiaotian and the others.
Hu Liena's gaze landed on the backs of Ji Xuan and Shui Binger in front; watching the intimate actions between the two, she felt a stifling panic in her heart.
She had never heard of Ji Xuan having a woman by his side before, and had always thought he was just a person who only knew how to Cultivate.
After all, in her impression, Ji Xuan would go into seclusion every few days, and it seemed that the only thing in his eyes was improving his strength.
What made her heart churn even more was that when chatting with Shui Yueer earlier, she had inadvertently learned that the women around Ji Xuan seemed to be more than just Shui Binger.
But even Shui Yueer did not know the identity of that other person.
Although Hu Liena felt uncomfortable, she understood that from the moment her teacher attacked Ji Xuan, she and Ji Xuan were destined to be two parallel lines that would never intersect.
...
After walking for a long time, the group found a luxurious hotel.
Ji Xuan looked at Feng Xiaotian in the crowd: "Feng Xiaotian."
Feng Xiaotian immediately stepped forward, bowed, and cupped his hands: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
"Go to the port and rent a large ship. If they are unwilling to go, just pay more money."
"This subordinate understands!"
Feng Xiaotian turned and walked in the direction of the port...
