The inheritance of the Asura God was obtained by Tang Chen. Tang Yuehua believed that as long as her grandfather could be reasonable in the future, he could naturally borrow this power. But what about the position of the Sea God?
If Hawk first obtained the Sea God's inheritance, and Tang Yuehua later developed a similar domain, she probably wouldn't be able to use the Sea God's power, right? Or at least, it wouldn't have a significant effect when facing Hawk.
"Do I have to obtain the Sea God's inheritance?" Tang Yuehua naturally longed to acquire skills related to a god's domain, but did she have to go to Sea God Island? Such a place was not somewhere a weak woman like her could venture to.
"Going to Sea God Island isn't necessary. There's another way for your soul ring to gain domain-type skills influenced by the Sea God's energy." Tang San smiled slightly. "And it's more advantageous for you."
"What is it?" Tang Yuehua's breathing quickened.
"The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud," Tang San revealed the name of an item.
"I've heard of that. It's an ancient soul tool collected by the Tian Dou Imperial Family. No one can use it, but it's incredibly tough, symbolically significant rather than practically useful," Tang Yuehua said. She knew about the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud because Huo Ke often talked about royal treasures with her when Yue Xuan was still open in Tian Dou City, even bringing over some unimportant gems for her to admire.
In the end, she personally returned all of them—among them, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which she had played with. According to Huo Ke, even a full-strength strike from a Titled Douluo three hundred years ago couldn't leave a mark on it and was even counterattacked by its hidden power, leading to his death from severe injuries shortly after.
But in Huo Ke's generation, it was considered a legend.
Tang Yuehua originally didn't believe it, but now that Tang San brought it up, could the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud be related to the Sea God?
"That's actually the Sea God's Heart, the core of the Sea God's Trident," Tang San revealed the true nature of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. "It's a part of a divine artifact. If you obtain it, you might be able to use your Wishful Ring to imprint its pattern on your second soul ring, thus creating a Sea God domain."
Tang Yuehua's eyes brightened, finding this plan feasible.
She couldn't go to Sea God Island, but she could access the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. With her friendship with Huo Ke, she could find an opportunity to visit Heaven Dou, borrow it for a few days, and examine it.
"Thanks for the tip, Xiao San." Tang Yuehua felt that following Tang San and setting aside her Haotian School pride was leading to a bright future.
"I just want to see if you can truly carry multiple gods' domains." Tang San's words were bluntly emotionless, but Tang Yuehua didn't mind.
Tang San was her blood relative!
The more she looked at him now, the more she liked him!
"Let's talk business." Tang San took out a stack of documents from his storage wristband and discussed the main reason for his visit. "Operating a business in Spirit City requires paying taxes. The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall considered our relationship and asked me to tell you personally."
Tang Yuehua: "..." Suddenly, she found Tang San a bit annoying.
"How much do I have to pay?"
"Twenty percent of the profits."
"That's too much!"
"It was originally thirty percent, but it was reduced by ten percent because of me. Other major merchants pay thirty percent," Tang San said slowly. "I didn't agree to the reduction initially, but the Holy Maiden took good care of you, so I couldn't refuse. Just don't spread this around."
Tang Yuehua just wanted to say that her nephew was really inconsiderate, not even thinking about saving his aunt some money...
After signing the documents, Tang San chatted briefly with Tang Yuehua before leaving Yue Xuan. He then went to the main hall of the Spirit Hall in the inner city, where Hu Liena was working, and personally handed the documents to her.
"Here are the documents you wanted."
Ordinary documents didn't need to be handed over to Hu Liena and could be given to the relevant departments below. But Tang Yuehua's identity was sensitive, hence the special handling.
Special Treatment
"If there is a conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Haotian School in the future, which side will you choose?" Hu Liena asked after stamping the document, her eyes showing a complex emotion. "I don't want to see a father-son conflict between you and Haotian Douluo."
Father-son conflict...
No matter the reason, if it happens, in the eyes of the mainland's people, the son will always be in the wrong.
Unless it happens in complete secrecy, with no one knowing.
"Aren't I the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall? Who do you think I will side with?" Tang San clarified his stance. "Besides, I believe you wouldn't put me in such a difficult position, right?"
Hu Liena breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Naturally."
"If war does break out, I hope it won't be initiated by the Wuhun Hall," Tang San said, hoping Hu Liena would discuss this with Bibi Dong. "To the two empires and the common people living within them, our so-called unification war is actually an invasion."
"Normal people don't like war, unless it's for peace on the continent," Hu Liena's eyes reflected her longing for the common people to live in peace.
She had noble ideals!
"Indeed, but most of the commoners on the continent won't understand why we're the ones starting the war. The Spirit Hall's influence on them isn't deep, and the quality of our lower-level members is uneven. Currently, only the Spirit City is well-disciplined, but once war breaks out and cities are conquered, it's uncertain if our troops will remain disciplined."
Tang San gave Hu Liena a deep look, "You've carried out numerous missions to capture fallen ones, haven't you? The poorly disciplined lower-level members of the Spirit Hall, after conquering a city, might act no differently from the fallen ones, causing even greater problems."
Hu Liena pondered deeply and finally nodded heavily, "I will talk to my teacher. The Spirit Hall must not become invaders!"
Elsewhere
Huo Ke and Tang Luo Ya were wandering aimlessly in Fantasy Film City, contemplating their next move.
Huo Ke suggested they give up and leave Spirit City immediately.
Why?
Tang San had noticed them, and Tang Yuehua was unwilling to help. Staying any longer would likely result in being closely monitored, which was not sustainable.
However, Tang Luoya was unwilling to accept this. He didn't understand why Tang Yuehua was so close to Tang San. Even if he was her nephew, he had joined the Spirit Hall, making him an enemy of the Haotian School!
Tang Yuehua was supposed to be extremely loyal to the sect!
"Don't be so surprised. Didn't you see Tang San looking like a handsome young man? Plus, he's powerful. Tang Yuehua would naturally try to win him over," Huo Ke comforted "Tang Laoya," patting his shoulder. "Tang San's attitude toward us is clear: he doesn't care. But the others might not be so lenient. The reception officer saw the threat he posed to us, so it's better to leave this place."
"And the Soul Armor?"
"Soul Armor surely involves soul tool principles. If we spend time learning that, when will we have time to cultivate?" Huo Ke countered. "After all, we don't have Xuantian Gong. Cultivating soul power requires meditation, and we don't have the energy to focus on other skills... If you're really not satisfied, how about we go watch a movie? We've already bought tickets for the soul guide film 'Crazy Soul Beast City.' We shouldn't waste them."
Tang Luo Ya: "..."
