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 headed straight for the Hall of Priests. This time, he was going back to take his grandmaster to the sea.
He had spent a long enough time at the Soul Saint stage, a full two and a half years. It was time to hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King as his eighth Spirit Ring, allowing him to successfully break through to the Soul Douluo level.
Inside the Hall of Priests, Qian Daoliu noticed Yun Yuan the moment he entered, but what puzzled him was:
He actually sensed a trace of divine power within Yun Yuan. Only someone like him, who served the gods and focused his attention on Yun Yuan, could sense that subtle power.
After Yun Yuan entered, Qian Daoliu did not immediately ask Yun Yuan about the divine power. Instead, he asked Yun Yuan about the Peerless Douluo in the sea.
"Xiao Yuan, you seem to be in a good mood since returning this time. You must have successfully persuaded that Peerless Douluo in the ocean to participate in our operation to hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
He was now fully prepared, having not only brought himself to peak condition but also borrowed the divine artifact, the Angelic Holy Sword, from the Angel God.
"Yes, Grandmaster, that Peerless Douluo from the ocean is willing to hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with us."
"I have returned this time to take you to the sea. Once Bo Saixi's forces find the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, he will surely die!"
Yun Yuan clenched his fist, his eyes flashing with sharp light, full of confidence.
"Oh, so confident? Xiao Yuan, have you found some new trump card?"
Yun Yuan's original idea was not like this. With Yun Yuan and Bo Saixi, two Peerless Douluo who could use divine power, they were confident they could hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
At this moment, Yun Yuan claimed that he could hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King with one hundred percent certainty.
In Qian Daoliu's view, this was related to the divine power that Yun Yuan possessed after his trip.
Upon hearing the conversation between Qian Daoliu and Yun Yuan, the other six priests in the hall opened their eyes, eager 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 becoming the head of the Spirit Hall.
In his normal state, Qian Daoliu's strength was roughly at the peak demigod level, not yet at the quasi-god level. However, after using the power of the angel, Qian Daoliu's strength would briefly surpass that of a quasi-god and reach the level of a god.
Even though Yun Yuan had reached the level of a quasi-god, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a soul beast that was nearly a million years old, and its strength had always stood at the peak of the quasi-god level.
Even Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi, two Peerless Douluo who could borrow divine power, had been no match for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King for a long time.
Seeing that the seven priests were curious, Yun Yuan did not hide anything. These seven people were all close to him, and being the inheritor of a god was not a big secret.
The next moment, Yun Yuan proudly puffed out his chest, a faint smile appearing on his face, and the divine test mark on his forehead gradually became visible.
Aside from Qian Daoliu, the other six elders could only sense a power beyond that of a Soul Master from the divine test mark on Yun Yuan's forehead.
However, they were unaware that this mark signified that Yun Yuan was a true inheritor of a deity, and that as long as he passed the divine test, he could become an immortal deity.
But Qian Daoliu was different. As the High Priest of the Angel God, he had a deep understanding of the divine test mark.
He knew perfectly well that his grand-disciple had gained the favor of a deity and could become a deity by passing a divine test.
"Xiao Yuan, you have truly had a great opportunity during this trip."
"Perhaps it won't be long before another deity appears in our Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's words, the other six priests had a vague understanding in their hearts.
At this moment, Yun Yuan also began to explain the situation to Qian Daoliu and the other seven.
"Grandmaster, fellow grandmasters, during my recent trip, I obtained a divine artifact. At the time, I intended to have it recognize me as its master."
"Unexpectedly, not long after I dripped a drop of blood on it, this divine test mark appeared on my forehead, and I directly became the inheritor of a god."
Listening to Yun Yuan's words, apart from Qian Daoliu, who had become a High Priest of the gods, the other six priests all looked at Yun Yuan with envious eyes.
This luck was simply incredible! He went out and received the favor of the gods, fulfilling the dream countless Soul Masters had longed for.
But Yun Yuan's story was not over yet.
"The deity I inherited is called the Sea God. Another high priest I mentioned to Grandmaster before was a believer of the Sea God."
"After becoming the successor of the Sea God, the Sea God granted me a strike of the Sea God's Light, which can restrain the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and greatly weaken his strength."
"That's why I'm so confident that I can hunt down that nearly million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
After Yun Yuan finished speaking, silence fell over the depths of the Hall of Priests, and everyone was unable to recover for a long time.
"Xiao Yuan, ever since you displayed your talent, I knew that you would eventually embark on the path of godhood, but I never expected that day to come so soon."
"Grandmaster congratulates you on becoming a divine successor. With your talent and strength, the divine assessment should be no challenge for you. You should be able to break through level 100 and become a god soon."
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, the other six priests all spoke up to congratulate Yun Yuan, expressing their heartfelt happiness for him.
As Qian Daoliu said, with Yun Yuan's talent and strength, he would one day embark on the path to godhood. It was already a great fortune for them to witness the birth of a god.
"By the way, there's no time to lose. Xiao Yuan, Grandmaster will take the Angelic Holy Sword, and let's go to the sea to hunt down that Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
After learning about Yun Yuan's gains, Qian Daoliu began focusing his attention on Yun Yuan's eighth Spirit Ring.
"Bring the Angelic Holy Sword? Grandmaster, you actually plan to bring a divine artifact as well?"
Hearing Qian Daoliu's words, Yun Yuan was slightly shocked. He had not expected Qian Daoliu to take this matter so seriously.
Using the Angelic Holy Sword would be very taxing on Qian Daoliu. In severe cases, it might take several years or even more than ten years for him to recover to his peak condition.
"Grandmaster, unless absolutely necessary, you should not use the Angelic Holy Sword. With our current resources, we are already capable of hunting down that Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
Yun Yuan tried to persuade Qian Daoliu, his eyes filled with worry.
"Don't worry, Xiao Yuan. Now that we know you have the trump card of the Sea God's Light, Grandmaster will not use the Angelic Holy Sword easily."
"This time, Grandmaster brought the Angelic Holy Sword with him just in case. If anything unexpected happens, we have the Angelic Holy Sword as our trump card."
Knowing Qian Daoliu's plan, Yun Yuan was relieved. Using only the power of the angel would cause minimal damage to Qian Daoliu.
However, if one forcibly activated the power of the Angelic Holy Sword with angelic divine power, such an act of forcibly leveraging divine authority with a mortal body would have an extremely terrifying backlash unless the artifact recognized its master.
