Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

This was a crystal-clear blue triangle, seemingly carved from sapphire. The moment the box was opened, rings of blue light shone out, filling the palace with a soft, precious glow.

A national treasure?

Upon hearing this title, Tang Xiao immediately wanted to refuse. He had finally managed to repay a favor through tonight's treatment, and he didn't want any further complications. However, before he could politely decline, Tang Chen's voice suddenly rang in his mind.

He immediately understood, gently shaking his head as he helped Xue Beng up: "Your Majesty is too kind. Crown Prince Xue Beng is my disciple. If he encounters difficulties, it is my duty as his teacher to help him."

Tang Xiao didn't bring Wu Tianzong this time, representing only himself, but others subconsciously felt that his words carried the same weight. "With Sect Leader Tang's words, I'm relieved."

Seeing Tang Xiao's straightforward attitude, Emperor Xueye was finally relieved. If it weren't for these turbulent times, how could he have been willing to give away this treasure?

But as long as Tang Chen can be won over, it will all be worth it.

No treasure is more valuable than life. If we don't give it away now, are we just waiting for our country to be destroyed and it to automatically belong to someone else?

In fact, he had even considered marrying Princess Xueke to Tang San to form a marriage alliance between the two families. Unfortunately, he couldn't even get a glimpse of Tang San. Wu Tianzong clearly treated him like a precious gem and protected him, so he had no way to make a move.

After some polite exchanges, Xue Beng personally escorted Tang Xiao and Tang Chen out of the hall. As he watched their departing figures, he gritted his teeth, his heart filled with mixed emotions of sorrow and joy.

He had taken a huge risk to poison the food, but it was so easily neutralized; it was truly a cruel twist of fate.

However, Tang Chen's methods were so astonishing, which was good news for him. With the support of such a powerful Wu Tianzong, his empire was truly impregnable.

"I don't like that crown prince." Tang Chen shook his head slightly at Tang Xiao. Xue Beng was indeed well concealed, but in Tang Chen's eyes, his disappointment and ambition were obvious. The ruthlessness of the royal family was on full display.

"He's the only one left in the Heaven Dou Empire, and there was nothing I could do before," Tang Xiao said with a wry smile. How could he not know what an avalanche was? Tang Chen sighed. None of these juniors were easy to deal with. "Never mind, let's not talk about him anymore. Bring me what you just saw."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao immediately handed over the Vast Ocean Universe Cover: "Grandpa, what exactly is this thing that even you are interested in?" Tang Chen did not speak. After taking it, he first used his soul power to probe it, and then tried to inject a trace of Asura Divine Power. Instantly, the entire triangle trembled violently, and his Asura Divine Power was worn away by an extremely vast and profound aura.

This aura instantly gave Tang Chen a sense of familiarity; without a doubt, it was the power of the Sea God.

"Let's go, let's go back right away, I need to hold a sect meeting." Tang Chen's face showed a rare hint of joy as he put his hand on Tang Xiao and pulled him back to the sect at a fast pace.

"Yes." Tang Xiao didn't know what had happened, but his grandfather's sudden joy meant something good must have occurred. After returning to the sect, the two immediately convened a meeting of the elders.

"The plan is ahead of schedule. We'll select the candidates tomorrow, and I'll personally lead the team to set off the day after tomorrow," Tang Chen said directly.

"Uncle, why is this happening so suddenly?" the Second Elder asked in confusion.

Their so-called plan was the method for continuing the bloodline of the Haotian Sect that Tang Chen had discussed with them when he first returned.

Tang Chen's lifespan is limited, and they cannot place all their hopes on the Spirit Hall or Lu Mingfei's leniency. Therefore, diversifying their investments becomes the best option.

The safest place on the entire continent is undoubtedly Poseidon Island, which is also protected by the gods. They will send ten young elite disciples to sea to join Poseidon Island.

In this way, even if their Haotian Sect were to be destroyed one day, Wu Tianchui's lineage would not be cut off.

"Xiao'er has received a good thing; perhaps it will bring unexpected joy to our Haotian Sect." Tang Chen nodded. If he wasn't mistaken, this Vast Ocean Universe Cover was the long-lost treasure of Sea God Island, the Heart of the Sea God. With this treasure, Poseidon might have hope of becoming a god. In the future, as long as the Haotian Sect relocates to the seaside, with Poseidon's protection, the Haotian Sect will be safer.

No one dared question Tang Chen's decision, and it was merely a matter of sooner or later he would leave. As for the candidates, they had already discussed it. They were all orphans who had lost both parents in the Spirit Hall's surprise attack, and their cultivation had reached at least the Soul Master level. Passing the Seagod Island test shouldn't be a problem for them. Just as the meeting ended, the long-suppressed dark clouds finally parted, and large raindrops poured down, completely dispersing the oppressive air and bringing a touch of freshness.

Tang Chen toyed with the Vast Ocean Universe Cover in his hand, looking at the torrential rain outside the window, his heart filled with anticipation for their long-awaited reunion.

Back then, he and Qian Daoliu pursued Poseidon together. Poseidon's condition was that she would choose whoever could become a god first.

It is clear that becoming a god was also Poseidon's wish, and being able to help Poseidon fulfill this wish before his death means he can die without regrets. A torrential downpour, dark, thick clouds blanketed the sky above Hanhai City, and a fierce wind howled through the rain, causing thousands of fishing boats in the harbor to sway precariously and creak.

As a coastal city, it rains frequently throughout the year, and there are countless typhoons of all sizes.

At times like these, the residents of Hanhai City would obediently close their windows and doors, stay at home, and sleep soundly.

Lu Mingfei was no exception; the more stormy the weather, the better it was to sleep.

Back when he lived in that coastal city, typhoon days meant holidays and sleeping in, though he didn't really like that kind of weather. He remembered a typhoon called Dandelion that struck suddenly when he was in junior high. He ran back to his aunt's house like a lost dog in the torrential rain and wind, his schoolbag hanging over his head, getting soaked to the bone, and was teased by Lu Mingze for days.

So in this kind of weather, it's best to stay in bed; it's warm and makes you feel safe.

Listening to the pattering rain and thunder outside the window, Lu Mingfei slept exceptionally soundly.

He suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, as if he had stepped off the stairs in his sleep and missed a step, his whole body jolting violently. An unusually familiar aura abruptly intruded, interrupting his meditation.

Upon opening the door, Qian Renxue, dressed in a white palace gown, stood outside in the torrential rain, soaked to the bone and looking utterly disheveled. Lu Mingfei paused for a moment, then quickly stepped forward and used his freezing power to create an ice shield to protect her from the rain. Qian Renxue suddenly rushed forward and hugged him tightly, as if afraid he might suddenly disappear.
