"Xiaoyao, you should know that I have a God Position Shard in my possession."
Although Ye Xishui had never directly mentioned it before, someone of his cultivation level would naturally have sensed it.
"This shard was obtained from Old Ghost Zhongli. I've always suspected that my inability to advance further is due to the God Position being incomplete."
"Are you saying that the shard in your hand was obtained by Old Ghost Zhongli from Jialing Pass?"
"No." Ye Xishui shook her head. "I once tried to subtly question him, but Old Ghost Zhongli never fully trusted me. He didn't tell me the origin of this shard."
"But as a Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, some things cannot be hidden from me. Although Old Ghost Zhongli wouldn't tell me, he would definitely tell his child, Zhongli Wu. I once secretly investigated and found that Zhongli Wu had sent people to Jialing Pass more than once to search for something."
Ye Xishui spoke of Zhongli Wu completely unlike she was talking about her own child; instead, it was as if she was discussing a stranger.
"Although I can't be 100% certain, I have a strong feeling that what Zhongli Wu has been searching for is a God Position Shard."
"Cough cough." Long Xiaoyao coughed twice. "Alright, let me recover for a while, and then we'll go together."
"Mm."
In Star Luo City, Huo Yuhao walked into a courtyard and saw Titan Warhammer Douluo wielding a large iron hammer with both hands.
He wasn't using Spirit Abilities, but merely relying on his Physical Body strength to swing the massive hammer, making it whistle.
"Senior Julang."
Clang— Titan Warhammer Douluo set down the hammer, producing a loud sound.
"Oh, it's Yuhao. What brings you here?"
"I came to see Senior Sealing God. How are his injuries?"
Although Sealing God Douluo was successfully rescued, he had been imprisoned for a long time, and still bore many injuries.
"Haha, little brother Yuhao, you might not know this, but the Vice Hall Master of our Star Luo Empire's Hall of Offerings is the Medical Immortal Douluo. With her Senior's intervention, any injury is easily dealt with. After a month of recuperation, that fellow Sealing God is already jumping around with energy."
Titan Warhammer Douluo said, patting Huo Yuhao's shoulder.
After some time together, Huo Yuhao naturally understood Titan Warhammer Douluo's personality. As long as he took a liking to someone, regardless of their cultivation or background, he would treat them like brothers. Titan Warhammer Douluo was ordered to protect Sealing God Douluo's safety.
After more than a month, it seemed he had already become familiar with Sealing God Douluo.
Titan Warhammer Douluo chuckled a few times, then, seeing Huo Yuhao's hesitant expression, suddenly realized and scratched the back of his head, "Hey, look at me. Besides visiting Sealing God Douluo, you probably have something else to discuss with him."
"Although Your Majesty is concerned about Sealing God's safety, Yuhao, you were among those who went to rescue him. That fellow is currently tinkering with Soul Guidance Devices in his room. You can just go in and find him yourself."
"Thank you, Senior Julang." Huo Yuhao cupped his hands and walked into the room.
After more than a month of recuperation, a bit of color had returned to Sealing God Douluo's Face. At this moment, he was looking down at a stack of documents in his hand.
"Senior Sealing God."
Sealing God Douluo looked up, and his eyes suddenly brightened when he saw Huo Yuhao. "Yuhao, if you hadn't come, I was planning to look for you."
"When you rescued me, could you show me that Spirit Ability you used again? Since Your Majesty values me, I need to produce something. After much thought, what the current Star Luo Empire needs most is something that can bypass the Sun Moon Empire's high-altitude detection Soul Guidance Devices."
"You might not know this, but even in the Sun Moon Empire, most Soul Guidance Devices were initially based on Spirit Abilities. So, I want to create a shielding Soul Guidance Device using your Spirit Ability as a prototype."
Huo Yuhao had barely greeted him when Sealing God Douluo rattled off a long speech. He wondered if all Soul Masters were like this when talking about Soul Guidance Devices. Huo Yuhao suddenly thought of his Soul Guidance Device teacher, Fan Yu; he was also like this when talking about fixed-point Soul Guidance Devices.
"Of course. Senior Sealing God, actually, I came here this time to ask you about something else."
"Do you have any questions about Soul Guidance Devices?"
"Senior Sealing God, I wonder if the Sealing God Platform is a Soul Guidance Device that you created?"
Sealing God Douluo's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, and he subconsciously looked towards the door. But he quickly remembered that he was now within the Star Luo Empire and no longer needed to be as cautious as before.
Thinking of this, he moved his body slightly. "So, the Sealing God Platform eventually fell into your hands?"
Huo Yuhao did not confirm or deny, merely nodding.
"The Sealing God Platform is indeed my proud creation, but—" Sealing God Douluo paused. "Sigh, since you all rescued me, I won't hide it from you. Theoretically, the Sealing God Platform can indeed assist a Soul Master in obtaining a second Spirit."
"But that requires the cooperation of a Spirit Beast." Sealing God Douluo sighed. "When I sold the Sealing God Platform to the Star Luo Empire, I was actually thinking of earning more gold coins, so I exaggerated a bit. It's fine if you want to obtain the spirit ring and Spirit Bone from it, but forget about getting a second Spirit. It's too dangerous."
In fact, if one were to truly persuade the Spirit Beast within the Sealing God Platform, no one other than Huo Yuhao could actually do it.
However, he already had three Spirits and didn't need any more. He only wanted to help Snow Empress out of consideration for Ice Empress's Face.
And Snow Empress's power was simply too immense, which is why he needed to use the power of the Sealing God Platform itself to Seal Snow Empress's power.
"Senior Sealing God, I am actually very interested in the Sealing God Platform Soul Guidance Device."
Huo Yuhao did not reveal everything to Sealing God Douluo.
However, Sealing God Douluo didn't press the matter. Huo Yuhao was already his benefactor, and he would also need Huo Yuhao's help in future Soul Guidance Device research, so he was very happy to share his proud creation with Huo Yuhao.
"That's easy to say. If you have time, I can tell you about the Sealing God Platform right now."
"Then thank you, Senior Sealing God."
"What's there to thank? You mobilized such strong forces to rescue me; I must also show my appreciation."
Speaking of this, Huo Yuhao's heart stirred slightly.
Huo Yuhao had also visited Gengxin City a few times during this period, but Wang Nan still seemed to be absent.
However, he wasn't too worried. He had personally witnessed Wang Nan's strength and didn't think any danger could stop him. More likely, Wang Nan had gained something from that battle and had gone into seclusion somewhere.
Far away on another continent, Wang Nan sat cross-legged among flowers. The Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand was held horizontally at some point, and the Evil Breaking Dragon circled around him, its luster flowing continuously.
