As expected, the moment Yunxiao spoke these words.
Qian Renxue, Shui Wu You, and Huo Wu Lu—all present—turned their curious gazes toward him.
But unfortunately.
After half an hour of research, the three of them.
Still couldn't figure out what was so special about this Universe Cover.
When faced with something beyond their understanding.
Qian Renxue adopted a mindset of learning and asking when in doubt.
After stroking her chin, she finally spoke up slowly.
"Yunxiao, this Universe Cover..."
"Could it have some extraordinary origin?"
When she first came into contact with the Universe Cover, she had naturally studied it as well.
But apart from its offensive and defensive capabilities, the Universe Cover was simply indestructible.
Beyond that, she truly hadn't discovered any other uses.
Let alone the fact that it could catch Yunxiao's attention.
Could it be that she had truly overlooked something back then?
"Clan Leader, could this Universe Cover be related to the Divine Realm?"
As one of the former Nine Dragon Kings, Huo Wu Lu's insight was naturally beyond Qian Renxue's.
When even he couldn't decipher what it was.
Huo Wu Lu had even poured all his Soul Power into it, yet failed to leave even a scratch on the Universe Cover.
This proved one thing.
The Universe Cover was no ordinary mortal artifact.
Eliminating all possibilities below the level of a Deity.
The answer became obvious.
The small object before them was, in fact, an artifact of a Deity.
At that moment, Shui Wu You spoke up slowly.
"Haha, Yunxiao, this Universe Cover..."
"If I'm not mistaken, it must be an inheritance artifact of a Deity, right?"
"And not just any ordinary Deity, at that."
"I believe this Universe Cover..."
"Must belong to at least a first-rank Deity, no?"
She had some understanding of Yunxiao, after all.
Take his ninth Soul Skill, World Descent, for example.
With this skill that enforced absolute equality.
Any Deity below the third rank would perish upon being struck.
Even a second-rank Deity, if caught off guard.
Would meet certain death if hit directly.
As for a first-rank Deity, facing the full force of a descending world would still leave them severely wounded.
And as for the five Divine Kings above first-rank Deities, she naturally knew them as well.
But unfortunately.
This Universe Cover was not an artifact of any of the five Divine Kings.
After careful analysis, it wasn't hard to deduce.
That the Universe Cover must belong to a first-rank Deity.
Su Xiaoli: "..."
Watching the four of them converse so casually, Su Xiaoli felt extremely awkward.
All this talk about the Divine Realm and first-rank Deities...
These were things she had no knowledge of whatsoever.
This had already ventured into the blind spots of her understanding.
After leisurely sipping his tea, Yunxiao gave a slight nod.
Then, setting down his cup.
He chuckled softly before speaking slowly.
"Haha, Sister Wu You, you're absolutely right!"
"This Universe Cover is indeed an artifact of a Deity."
"And it has another name—Heart of the Sea God."
"It is the inheritance artifact of Poseidon, God of the Sea, a first-rank Deity."
—BOOM—
The moment these words were spoken, Qian Renxue felt as if she had been struck by lightning.
Damn, this is really something.
So it turns out she had truly misjudged it back then.
This Universe Cover was never some so-called ancient soul tool.
It was actually the inheritance artifact of a first-level Deity.
Although Qian Renxue didn't know who Poseidon, God of the Sea was, she understood the significance of a first-level Deity.
After all, the founder of their Spirit Hall - the first Pope of Spirit Hall and ancestor of their Angel Clan - was precisely a first-level Deity, the Angel God.
Ignoring Qian Renxue's shock, Yunxiao continued speaking slowly:
"By dripping a drop of blood on this Heart of the Sea God, if someone can gain its recognition..."
"Then they can take this Heart of the Sea God..."
"To the Sea God Island in the endless ocean and receive the God Trial Inheritance of the Sea God."
"As long as someone can complete the Nine God Trials set by the Sea God..."
"That person will become the new Sea God."
Speaking of Poseidon, Yunxiao was quite curious.
What was his current situation? Was he dead or not?
If alive, how severely was he injured?
After his own power received a boost...
With the Elf Small World and his ninth Soul Skill, World Descent...
Would there be a chance to completely suppress Poseidon and slowly refine him?
"Hisss—"
After hearing Yunxiao's explanation, Qian Renxue drew a sharp breath, making outstanding contributions to global warming in the Arctic Land.
She truly hadn't expected the Heaven Dou Empire's royal family to possess such a treasure!
But unfortunately...
Everyone, including herself, had misjudged it.
"Hmm? Wait..."
"Something's not right, very not right."
"Sea God Island?"
"This name... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before."
In an instant, Qian Renxue felt the name "Sea God Island" was strangely familiar, as if she'd heard it before somewhere.
Seeing Qian Renxue caught in this mental storm, Yunxiao chuckled lightly before speaking slowly:
"Heh, Xiao Xue, speaking of this Sea God Island..."
"In the past, it actually had some conflicts with your Spirit Hall."
"And within your Spirit Hall..."
"It goes by another name - Devil Island."
BOOM—
These words struck Qian Renxue like lightning again.
It matched, everything matched perfectly.
No wonder the name Sea God Island sounded so familiar!
Sea God Island was that damned Devil Island!
It was precisely that Devil Island - the so-called Sea God Island - that had caused their Spirit Hall to lose two Titled Douluo elders back then.
Not only that, but they'd also lost a large number of Soul Master troops.
"So that's it... Sea God Island is Devil Island."
"That Poseidon, a first-level Deity..."
"He's actually the deity worshipped by Devil Island?"
Damn, this is really something.
If she remembered correctly, that Sea God Island wasn't even very big - smaller than a province of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Yet it actually concealed the inheritance site of a Deity.
And one comparable to the ancestor of their Angel Clan at that.
Just like the Angel God, she was also a first-rank Deity.
This, to some extent, truly shocked Qian Renxue greatly.
At that moment, Yunxiao also noticed something unusual.
After glancing at Qian Renxue, he finally confirmed one thing.
"Huh???"
"Xiao Xue, your Soul Power has already reached level 70?"
In less than two years, Qian Renxue had gone from the six-ringed Soul Emperor realm.
And now, she had directly broken through to level 70.
