Huo Yuhao sensed the subtleties within and couldn't help but reveal a strange expression.
This was — White Clouds for a Thousand Years?
Sea God Tang San, online guidance of a divine skill — and teaching it to his enemy!
Truly... an indescribable scene.
His thoughts flashed and disappeared. Huo Yuhao sat down cross-legged, using his spiritual power to memorize the subtleties within, quickly immersing himself.
"This move is the principle of time." Snow Empress glanced at Huo Yuhao and sighed emotionally. "Because of the Evil Emperor, Yuhao has encountered the subtleties of time. He comprehends it faster than me."
Skydream's eyes lit up. "There's a deity's divine skill in the fragment?"
A Sea God divine skill beating the Asura God Tang San... he didn't know why, but just thinking about it made him excited.
"That's right."
Electrolux nodded with a smile. "The divine seat represents all of a deity's inheritance. Ten thousand years ago, when Tang San became a god, he naturally comprehended the various powers of the Sea God. The divine seat would naturally contain the inheritance of those divine skills. I merely used my divine consciousness power to activate the 'memory' contained within."
"However, not all fragments have learnable divine skills. Yuhao was lucky — the first one he picked up had one. In a moment, I will act and collect all the fragments from this place, and we'll see what we get."
Now that he had sensed corresponding auras, finding these fragments would not be so difficult. Not to mention that the ocean had already told them the locations of all the fragments. Now that they knew what these things were, they couldn't just leave them here.
Glancing at the Abyssal Demon Whale, which was still in the ocean awaiting Huo Yuhao's command, Elder Electrolux narrowed his eyes.
After all, someone was collecting these fragments.
By the time Huo Yuhao opened his eyes, it was already the middle of the night. Before him lay three additional "divine grid crystal" — two of which had no divine skill. The last one had a divine skill, and it was a divine skill that had left a deep impression on Huo Yuhao —
Unsettled Storm!
Huo Yuhao: "...?!!"
Tang San had been fixed by Unsettled Storm — how could he have such a dream?
After watching "Sea God" Tang San released several golden rings and experiencing Unsettled Storm for himself, Huo Yuhao looked toward Electrolux.
"Elder Electrolux — this fragment is the one from the core area, isn't it?"
"Indeed." Electrolux nodded, smiling. "At the very center of the Abyssal Deep, it is probably the most core of all the divine seat fragments. It also has some Sea God divine power on it — it has forced fusion with the ocean itself. It is also the root of the ocean's disgust. Without. the Divine Origin realm, you can't detect it at all."
"..."
Could it be anything but core core?
Unsettled Storm was the most powerful control divine skill in the Divine Realm, allowing Sea God Tang San to converse equally with the various God Kings. It was only right that it should be at the core of the divine seat... Wait — speaking of which, was the God King of Destruction afraid of this thing?
It didn't seem to be shown...
Huo Yuhao now felt somewhat strange.
Ever since entering the ocean, he had felt like he was back ten thousand years ago — opportunities just fell into his lap.
But...
"I am increasingly suspecting that Tang San deliberately left this — left for a particular person."
Huo Yuhao frowned. "Left for Wulin."
If Wulin obtained these divine seat fragments, naturally comprehended the various inheritances of the Sea God, even obtained faith power and reshaped the Sea God divine seat — that would naturally bring many benefits to Tang San's plans.
After all, Wulin possessed the Sea God's bloodline. The Plane Lord, according to the plan, was Tang Hao. The ocean would originally have been very close to him. Coupled with the faith power of the sea spirit beasts toward the Sea God, the possibility of reshaping the Sea God divine seat was not small. Then, Tang San would have many options to maneuver.
Only — as things stood, the error was quite large.
Hearing Huo Yuhao's guess, Skydream's expression flickered. "It seems... not impossible. But he miscalculated one thing — you are still here, and the plane consciousness is still here."
If not for Yuhao making it to ten thousand years later, the one who obtained these things would have been Tang Wulin. Then, the subsequent development would probably have followed Tang San's plan.
"Never mind — it's just a guess. My thoughts are a bit chaotic from unexpectedly encountering the Sea God divine seat."
Huo Yuhao smiled and shook his head. He stood up and looked at the Abyssal Demon Whale by the sea.
This creature was truly terrified — without his command, it didn't dare to wander off.
According to it, it had been searching for these divine seat fragments for the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor probably knew their true nature.
The Demon Emperor, who dreamed of making Tang San suffer, would probably be overjoyed to see Sea God divine seat fragments.
As for that Demon Soul Great White Shark... was it guarding the remaining divine seat fragments?
Thinking of the Demon Soul Great White Shark that had attacked him directly upon meeting, Huo Yuhao narrowed his eyes.
This was not right. As a Sea God, when an Abyssal Demon Whale was snatching the fragments, it should have been concerned about the divine seat fragments, but it wasn't. That clearly indicated something wrong.
Many guesses rose in Huo Yuhao's heart. Finally, he pushed them aside and looked at the faint wisps of cooking smoke rising in the distance. "Teacher Mu Ye is waiting anxiously. Let's go greet him first."
The several Spirit Souls and Elder Electrolux nodded. They were about to return to the Sea of Spirit. But Huo Yuhao suddenly handed the four crystals to Electrolux. "Elder Electrolux — I have already memorized the Heritage I could. I only need time to slowly comprehend them. I don't need them for the experience of shaping a divine seat. Please destroy them."
Perhaps he was being too cautious. But as long as there was a possibility that it was Tang San's scheme, he had to be careful. His guesses were, after all, just guesses. Keeping these divine fragments by his side could be a source of trouble.
Wasn't it common in various routines that fragments which were difficult to gather ultimately came together due to various coincidences?
In matters like this, destroying a few of them, making it impossible for them to ever become whole and complete, was the best protection for himself and those around him.
Electrolux paused, then smiled. "I knew you would say that."
With that, gray divine consciousness power surged, directly destroying the four crystals.
Huo Yuhao seemed to hear the ocean cheering faintly in his ear, happy that these divine fragments had disappeared.
A smile rose on Huo Yuhao's face. He walked with Snow Empress, who still remained outside, toward where Mu Ye was, quietly running the Innate Secret Method. A flicker of gray mist appeared in his eyes.
"It seems Teacher Mu Ye's method is feasible. But it will take some time."
The time spent on this secondary awakening far exceeded Mu Ye's expectations. After forty-nine days had passed, Huo Yuhao still had not awakened.
Forty-nine days was a special time limit for the Body Sect's secondary awakening. If one couldn't complete it within this time, the probability of success afterward was extremely small.
At first, Mu Ye had also wavered, even considered forcibly terminating the awakening to avoid backlash. But each time he checked, he could feel Huo Yuhao's innate energy growing stronger and stronger — like a dormant giant dragon, waiting for it to finally break out of its cocoon.
So Mu Ye had persevered with Huo Yuhao. Eventually, after three months of this, a change occurred.
The pitch-black night sky was scratched by a gray rift slices through space. Thick, liquid-like gray mist diffuses across the sea, like a curtain from the underworld.
Mu Ye stood on the sea surface, ten meters away. The spirit power on his body, under the erosion of the gray mist, kept emitting a sizzling sound. His face was full of disbelief.
This was... a domain?
Huo Yuhao's entire body was emitting gray mist. Those once-spirited eyes had now become like two pools of condensed Styx water — transformed into... the gray of stillness.
