After being enfeoffed as a king, Yun Chuan naturally no longer needed to stay in the Crown Prince's residence. Emperor Xue Ye directly bestowed upon him a vast and luxurious estate within Heaven Dou City, to serve as his royal mansion.
As for the matter of his fiefdom, it would not be settled so quickly. Preparations were still needed on that side, after which an auspicious date would be chosen to hold a formal ceremony and proclaim it to the world—letting everyone know that Heaven Dou now had a Titled Douluo overseeing it, thereby achieving the purpose of deterring ill-intentioned individuals. It was impossible for such a thing to be considered complete with mere verbal decrees.
...
After the verbal investiture concluded,
Yun Chuan chose to take his leave. Xue Qinghe, however, remained behind in the imperial palace—clearly, Emperor Xue Ye had matters to instruct him on. After all, if it were only the appointment as Protector of the Nation, Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng would not have needed to be present. Since all three had been there, it was obvious that Emperor Xue Ye had something to say to them.
After leaving the imperial palace, Yun Chuan, led by attendants, boarded a carriage. With the rhythmic da-da-da of hooves sounding, the carriage soon came to a stop before the gates of a luxurious residential estate.
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the royal mansion. Please disembark," the coachman's voice awakened Yun Chuan. He put away the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover in his hand, opened the carriage door, and stepped down slowly.
He surveyed the towering structure before him.
The appearance of the mansion was no different from that of an ancient Chinese royal residence. On both sides of the entrance stood two exotic beasts resembling stone lions. Above the main gate hung a newly made plaque bearing four large characters:
Blue Silver Royal Mansion!
At this moment, the vermilion gates of the mansion were wide open. Soldiers holding long spears stood in formation on both sides. Upon seeing Yun Chuan step down from the carriage, they immediately lowered their heads, knelt on one knee, and shouted in unison:
"Greetings, Your Highness!"
Yun Chuan glanced around, knowing these soldiers were included as part of the mansion's retinue, so that he would not lack usable personnel. There would certainly be no shortage of maids and servants as well. This emperor had been quite thoughtful.
"Rise."
As Yun Chuan walked forward, the soldiers obeyed and stood up. He scanned the surroundings and asked, "Who is the steward of this royal mansion?"
"Your Highness, this humble one is the steward," a kindly-faced elderly man stepped out from the crowd, bowed his head, and respectfully replied.
"Mm."
Yun Chuan nodded lightly and said, "I'm a bit tired today. Take me to the place where I can rest."
"Please follow me, Your Highness," the steward said respectfully as he led the way.
Seeing that this new master appeared quite gentle, everyone around couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They were servants bound to this mansion for various reasons, their lives entirely in the hands of its owner. If the new master were cruel and bloodthirsty, it would be a disaster for them.
Fortunately, judging from his demeanor, this new master was not such a person.
Everything inside the mansion had already been fully arranged before his arrival. As a result, Yun Chuan didn't even need to unpack—he could move straight in. If he needed anything, he only had to give an order to the servants.
It had to be said—aristocracy was truly extravagant and decadent.
Yun Chuan waved away several maids who wished to stay behind to warm his bed, then ordered them not to enter no matter what sounds they heard. Only after that did he slowly close the door.
Once he confirmed that no one would disturb him, Yun Chuan impatiently took out the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover from his storage ring, ready to study it. Even though, with his cheat, he looked down on the gods of this world, he had yet to truly grow strong. For him at present, this Vast Sea Cosmos Cover was still extremely useful.
As soon as the azure triangular object appeared, it dyed the entire room in a deep ocean-blue hue.
The gentle, rippling blue light was dazzlingly beautiful. Even someone as resolute as Yun Chuan couldn't help but feel momentarily entranced as he carefully observed the flowing light and shadow of this peculiar object, sighing inwardly that it truly was a treasure.
Although it was a supreme treasure, even the successive emperors of the Heaven Dou Empire had never known its true purpose or identity. For thousands of years, no one had been able to control it, nor did they understand how precious it truly was.
This treasure first appeared in a barbarian tribe in the South Sea. Before its discovery, the tribe had been prosperous. However, after it was brought back, the entire tribe soon suffered annihilation—everyone perished. After passing through many hands, the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover finally ended up in the Heaven Dou royal family.
Having read the original work, Yun Chuan knew this item's true identity was the Sea God's Heart, the most crucial artifact for inheriting the Sea God's position. In the original story, if Tang San had not gained its recognition, he would have been absolutely unable to inherit the Sea God's godhood.
Now that it was in Yun Chuan's hands—would Tang San still have any chance to inherit the Sea God's position?
Gazing at the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover in his hand, Yun Chuan fell into thought. He remembered that a trace of the Sea God's remnant consciousness was hidden inside it. Only those who gained the Sea God's recognition were qualified to inherit the divine seat.
To gain that recognition, one had to withstand the power of the Sea God's remnant will. Unfortunately, not everyone could bear divine power. Those who tried without exception exploded and died. Over time, ignorant people came to believe this item was an evil object.
Yun Chuan felt that with his talent and current physical constitution, he was no worse than Tang San in the original work. Then—could he attempt to gain the recognition of the Sea God's remnant consciousness within the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover?
There was a high chance he could.
Although he looked down on the gods of the soul-master system, he couldn't deny that he was still too weak right now. Even if he could become unimaginably powerful in the future, at this stage he was still in a period of confusion, unsure of the path ahead.
Since that was the case, he might as well try to see whether this world's divine inheritance could offer him some inspiration.
With that thought, Yun Chuan made his decision.
Holding the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover with both hands, he recalled the original protagonist's method. If he remembered correctly, it wasn't about injecting soul power first, but rather releasing spiritual power to probe inward.
He focused his gaze, and a strand of spiritual power slowly extended toward the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover in his hand.
The instant his spiritual power entered, he felt an indescribable force violently rebound it. Holding the artifact, his entire body was flung backward, his mind briefly dizzy.
Fortunately, his consciousness remained clear. Immediately afterward, he saw the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover burst forth with light and automatically float up, smashing straight toward his forehead!
At this moment, Yun Chuan could sense that within the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover was an extremely high-quality strand of spiritual power. It was precisely this power that had repelled his own. He knew this was the Sea God's remnant will—indeed, the power of a god-level soul master was fundamentally different from that of a Titled Douluo.
The sharp triangular tip struck heavily against Yun Chuan's forehead. However, with his physical defense, such a small object naturally couldn't break through. The Sea God's remnant will paused in surprise, then controlled the artifact to emit a special layer of blue light.
Under this blue light, Yun Chuan could feel the defensive strength of the skin on his forehead rapidly weakening. At the same time, the power of his five elements and five organs surged within him, seemingly wanting to devour this special blue light.
Knowing the original plot, he forcibly suppressed this impulse, calming the surging five-element light within his body. He allowed the triangular tip to pierce his forehead. A stream of blood immediately flowed out, and the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover spun lightly, pressing flat against the wound, as if alive, beginning to absorb it.
Yun Chuan's blood continuously flowed into it, and the originally blue glow gradually turned red!
Under his deliberate suppression of his recovery ability, blood streamed endlessly from the wound, constantly feeding into it…
Before long, a faint blue light drifted out from the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover, condensing into a very faint phantom. A deep, aged voice sounded, filled with astonishment:
"What a terrifying physique! What astonishing talent! I never imagined that after so many years, such a peerless genius would be born in this world. Good, good, good—at last I have found a successor capable of bearing the power of the Vast Sea."
The blue light flashed and reentered the triangular artifact. The glow on the triangle suddenly receded. It detached from Yun Chuan's forehead, bounced onto his shoulder, rolled down along it, and finally fell into his palm.
At this time, the triangle had returned to its blue color, with only a faint red glimmer occasionally flashing at its core.
Without the blue light's restraint, the wound on Yun Chuan's forehead rapidly closed, healing completely in the blink of an eye. Naturally, he heard what the Sea God's remnant had said. He thought to himself that at least it had good judgment—his constitution and talent, strengthened by the system, had long transcended the limits of this world, far beyond what he currently displayed.
Only because of this world's limitations was he unable to obtain sufficient nourishment to truly unleash the power of his foundation.
To be honest, with his 60 points of root-bone aptitude, measured against a full score of 100, even across the myriad heavens and worlds, he would be considered exceptionally talented. If he weren't stuck in the barren land of Douluo, but instead in a higher-level world like the Primordial World, his aptitude would make him at least an innate god.
Unfortunately, he had come to the wrong place. In this impoverished world, there simply wasn't enough nourishment for him to grow. Otherwise, with his 60-point root bone, how could he have been limited to merely innate level-50 soul power?
While he was pondering, Yun Chuan's consciousness suddenly felt as if something were tugging at his body and soul. A tremendous pulling force tried to drag his awareness into some unknown space. His instinct was to resist—but then he remembered something and abandoned the resistance, allowing the force to pull his consciousness away…
Gradually, everything around him seemed to fade. At that moment, a special power flowed into his heart, then slowly into his brain, transforming into a cool sensation that merged with his mind.
His mind became exceptionally clear. Though he could no longer perceive the outside world, he could clearly sense the flow of blood within his meridians, even the subtlest changes in his internal organs… He had once entered a similar state accidentally after gathering the five elements within his body. When he emerged from that state, his spiritual power had surged dramatically—
and he had even awakened an ability similar to telekinesis.
So this time… what benefits would he gain?
When Yun Chuan awakened from that wondrous state, he discovered that dawn had just begun to break. He clearly remembered that it had only been near noon when he entered the room—yet now it was already the following morning.
Lowering his gaze to his right hand, the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover lay quietly in his palm. Strangely, its former dazzling brilliance had vanished. Though still crystal blue, it looked no different from an ordinary gemstone.
Seeing this, Yun Chuan had a realization and injected a trace of soul power into it.
In an instant, blue light burst forth! The azure triangle seemed to come alive, divine radiance flowing once more, restoring the dazzling appearance it had when he first obtained it.
Water-like blue light rippled and undulated throughout the room. Threads of strange patterns appeared on its surface…
Yun Chuan could clearly feel the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover's craving for his soul power. Subconsciously, he increased the input. As the soul power continued to pour in, the blue light grew ever more intense!
Amid the radiant glow, the triangular object slowly floated up from his palm, spinning uncontrollably…
Just as Yun Chuan was puzzled, he suddenly saw a trace of blood-colored light within the artifact. Immediately after, a beam of blue light shot straight into his brow. His entire body trembled as an enormous amount of information was transmitted spiritually, flooding into his mind!
The scenery before his eyes changed. His soul and consciousness sank into a wondrous world…
An endless expanse of blue sea and sky stretched out before him. Beneath his feet was the surging ocean, and above him, a cloudless azure sky. The sense of physical and mental clarity stirred boundless yearning within him…
Streams of clear information flowed into his mind, each one distinct. Within this information, the triangular Vast Sea Cosmos Cover constantly shifted forms, demonstrating its myriad wondrous uses.
The methods of use were effortlessly imprinted into Yun Chuan's mind—not something that needed memorization, but an instinct he could use with a mere lift of his hand.
His right hand rose naturally and gracefully. The Vast Sea Cosmos Cover drifted down into his palm, spinning lightly. With every rotation, the blue light on its body grew a little stronger!!
