Chapter 427: Target, Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud!
It seems I also need to speed up my cultivation.
Yu Tianlin thought to himself.
However, on second thought, although Bibi Dong's situation did create some urgency for him, there was no need to rush too much.
After all, Bibi Dong had held a significant lead from the very beginning, yet she had not become a Deity first. In the original timeline, she was even surpassed by Qian Renxue. This showed that for Bibi Dong, the difficulty of her Deity assessment was definitely not low.
Bibi Dong was inheriting the Rakshasa God, which represented evil thoughts, and her past experiences had undoubtedly become stumbling blocks on her path to becoming a Deity, increasing the difficulty of her assessment.
This should be the reason why Bibi Dong, despite her profound cultivation, had still not become a Deity after so long, and had even been caught up to and surpassed by latercomers.
Yu Yuanzhen did not know what Yu Tianlin was thinking and continued, "It's strange to say, but after Bibi Dong's cultivation improved, Qian Daoliu has been quiet. Otherwise, with their current strength, if they came together, I could block one, but Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi couldn't block the other. Their relationship doesn't seem very good."
Of course it wasn't good.
Bibi Dong had killed Qian Daoliu's son. It would be strange if their relationship were good.
Moreover, if not for Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong would probably have been directly killed by Qian Daoliu before she had fully grown. Therefore, the two of them basically would not join forces.
This was only the first reason.
As for the second point, Yu Tianlin guessed it should be related to Qian Renxue's Deity Legacy. When Qian Renxue was undergoing the Nine Trials of Angels, Qian Daoliu would not want to be too far away from her, in case any accidents occurred.
However, although the possibility of them coming together was very low, they still had to be on guard.
Thinking this, Yu Tianlin took the Dragon Slaying Saber from his back and handed it back to Yu Yuanzhen, saying, "Grandpa, I now have the Thunder God's Hammer protecting me, so I no longer need the Dragon Slaying Saber. The Dragon Slaying Saber should remain in the clan. This way, if Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu attack together, you can use it to repel them."
"The Thunder God's Hammer protecting you? Leaving the Dragon Slaying Saber here?"
Yu Yuanzhen keenly caught the details in Yu Tianlin's words. Raising an eyebrow, he asked, "You mean you still want to leave the clan?"
"Originally, I planned to rest in the clan for two days."
Yu Tianlin nodded and directly stated his thoughts.
"But now, time waits for no one. I can't relax. I still need to continue working hard."
Then Yu Tianlin told Yu Yuanzhen about the place he planned to go for training. After convincing Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Tianlin left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and once again entered Heaven Dou City.
This time, Yu Tianlin went directly to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace. Before he went out for training, he needed something from the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Upon learning of Yu Tianlin's arrival, Emperor Xue Ye temporarily handed all affairs to Prince Xue Xing, while he personally met Yu Tianlin together with Prince Xue Beng.
"Nephew Tianlin."
Emperor Xue Ye said with a smile, "I know all about what happened in Northern Frontier City. Unfortunately, the Empire's power there is not strong enough. Otherwise, I would have helped Nephew at all costs. Fortunately, Nephew's strength is unmatched. You repelled Spirit Hall's Consecrated Elder and remained safe and sound. If Nephew had suffered any mishap, I would regret it for the rest of my life."
When he said this, Emperor Xue Ye's face was full of sincerity, which only showed that he was indeed the highest authority of an empire.
Ever since Emperor Xue Ye received the secret report from the person in charge of Northern Frontier City and learned that Yu Tianlin had defeated Spirit Hall's Sixth Consecrated Elder, Thousand Jun Douluo, even crippling both of Thousand Jun Douluo's arms, he had raised Yu Tianlin's importance by several levels in his heart.
Originally, in Emperor Xue Ye's view, Yu Tianlin was only the link connecting the younger generation after their three forces formed an alliance.
But now, the strength Yu Tianlin displayed was too astonishing. It had already exceeded the scope of the younger generation, and even most of the older generation were no match for him.
Under these circumstances, Emperor Xue Ye naturally adjusted his view of Yu Tianlin.
"It's good that Your Majesty has this intention."
As for Emperor Xue Ye's words about regretting it for the rest of his life, Yu Tianlin naturally did not believe them. However, he did not expose them on the surface and simply went along with him.
Politeness was something that could not be lacking.
After the two finished exchanging pleasantries, Yu Tianlin continued, "Your Majesty, I once heard Grandpa say that the Heaven Dou Empire has been passed down for many years and possesses a national treasure called the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. Is that true?"
That's right. Yu Tianlin's purpose in coming this time was the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
This item was crucial to becoming the Sea God, and Yu Tianlin naturally would not forget it. It was best to keep such an important item in his own hands.
"The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"
Hearing Yu Tianlin's words, although Emperor Xue Ye's expression did not change and he still maintained a smiling face, his heart could not help but skip a beat.
Yu Tianlin had brought up the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and Emperor Xue Ye knew without needing to ask further that Yu Tianlin definitely wanted this treasure.
So, the question was, what attitude should he take?
Give it directly? Refuse directly? Or politely decline?
In a flash, countless thoughts passed through Emperor Xue Ye's mind, and he finally made his decision.
Looking deeply at Yu Tianlin, Emperor Xue Ye said, "Nephew Tianlin, to be honest, the Empire does indeed possess this treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. However, you just said it yourself. It is our national treasure."
"Of course, although the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is very important, if Nephew wants it, then with our relationship, it would not matter even if I gave it directly to you. But allow me to ask, Nephew, what do you want it for?"
Yu Tianlin fell silent for a moment.
Of course, he could not tell the truth. This item was related to the Sea God's Legacy. If he really said that, Emperor Xue Ye would definitely not give it to him.
After thinking briefly, Yu Tianlin still made up a reason and said, "I have a feeling that the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud will be of great help to my cultivation. If I can obtain it, it won't be long before I break through to the realm of Titled Douluo."
Yu Tianlin's words sounded fabricated, and Emperor Xue Ye did not believe them.
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure, and its abilities had been thoroughly researched by the Heaven Dou Empire. There was no mention of it assisting cultivation, so Emperor Xue Ye immediately knew that Yu Tianlin was lying.
Just as he was about to say something, Yu Tianlin quickly continued, "Of course, I know the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is very valuable, so I never intended to ask Your Majesty for it for free. I can exchange something for it."
"Exchange something for it?"
Hearing Yu Tianlin's suggestion, Emperor Xue Ye felt somewhat amused.
The Heaven Dou Empire was vast and rich in resources. What kind of treasure did it not have?
For example, in the past, he had even been able to produce the ginseng roots of a Ten Thousand Year Ninth Grade Ginseng King to detoxify himself, so he basically did not lack treasures.
Besides, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure.
What kind of item could possibly compare to its value?
