The triangular-shaped Vast Ocean Universe Cover pierced a small gash on Shui Bing'er's fair forehead with its sharp tip, and blood was drawn out as blue light surged.
As blood was injected into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the surrounding blue halo gradually turned blood red.
Lin Chuan grasped Shui Bing'er's hand, and a shimmering green light appeared on his body. A surge of powerful life energy flowed into the girl's body, replenishing the blood that had been drained.
The surrounding crowd stared intently at the scene before them, none daring to utter a sound.
Not long after, a faint blue light drifted out from the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, condensing into a very faint phantom.
Just like when Dugu Yan received the approval of the Earth God.
A calm yet aged voice rang out, "After all this time, I've finally found a decent junior, one who can withstand the power of the Vast Ocean."
"what?!"
Suddenly, the blue phantom let out a soft cry, its blue eyes sweeping over Lin Chuan, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling.
"What good fortune! I never imagined that the Goddess of Life and the God of Earth would find such an excellent successor. I must not fall behind."
As soon as he finished speaking, the illusory figure quickly dissipated, turning into a beam of blue light and disappearing back into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover.
The halo instantly receded and slowly fell into Shui Bing'er's palm. Without any obstruction, the life force quickly and completely healed the wound between the girl's eyebrows.
Although a lot of blood was drained, it did not have any negative effects thanks to Lin Chuan's help.
A short while later, Shui Bing'er slowly woke up.
"What happened to me just now?" Shui Bing'er rubbed her temples and slowly sat up.
Everyone around him was smiling.
"Congratulations, Bing'er! You have successfully gained the approval of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Your trials have begun. Next, you only need to go to Seagod Island to undergo the Nine Trials of the Seagod!"
Lin Chuan met Shui Bing'er's slightly confused gaze and offered his congratulations softly.
"I succeeded?!"
Hearing Lin Chuan's words, Shui Bing'er was also very happy.
Congratulations, Bing'er!
The others also offered their congratulations.
Although they felt a little regretful for not being recognized, they all had a good relationship with Shui Bing'er. At most, they would feel envious, but there was no jealousy or other such feelings.
"Bing'er, try injecting soul power," Lin Chuan suddenly said again.
Shui Bing'er nodded gently and tried to inject her soul power.
The next moment, a dazzling blue light burst forth, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover seemed to come alive, its shimmering light flowing and returning to its previous brilliant colors.
Strange patterns appeared on the surface of the triangular object, while a wave-like blue light rippled throughout the room.
"This is!"
Apart from Lin Chuan, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling, everyone else's expressions changed drastically, and they couldn't help but feel a sense of worship, a feeling that came entirely from the depths of their martial souls.
Blue light pulsed and floated around Shui Bing'er, silently strengthening her body at the same time.
After an unknown amount of time, Shui Bing'er opened her eyes again. A blue light shone from her eyes, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover transformed into a stream of light that entered her brow.
"Brother Chuan, I've acquired four skills: 'Vast Ocean Protective Shield' which grants invisibility and defense, 'Heaven and Earth Stabilizing Shield' which provides a lock-on control skill, 'Vast Ocean Raging Waves' which is a group attack skill, and 'Heaven and Earth Demon Breaker' which is a single-target attack skill."
Dugu Yan also looked surprised, "This is almost the same as my Earth God's Decree!"
"This is just a secondary soul skill; the most important thing is the skill itself. You'll understand once you've mastered it!"
Compared to the surprise on the faces of others, Lin Chuan did not react much because he already knew about the existence of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, even though these soul skills were indeed very powerful.
But if you look at it from another angle, it's still a divine artifact; it would be abnormal if it weren't powerful.
"Alright, now that Bing'er has successfully gained recognition, that's wonderful. Prepare well for the next few days, and I'll take you to Poseidon Island for the test later."
Lin Chuan clapped his hands lightly, instantly filling the women with anticipation.
Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed, and she asked in a cool tone, "Brother Chuan... can I come along?"
The moment the girl asked that question, Lin Chuan guessed what she was thinking: she had already taken advantage of the Earth God, and now she was planning to take advantage of the Sea God.
Thinking of this, Lin Chuan's expression suddenly became extremely strange.
"I don't know either, but it's definitely worth a try. If you succeed, you'll make a fortune; if you fail, you won't lose anything. If all else fails, we can always find other ways to cultivate!"
After a brief moment of thought, Lin Chuan finally agreed.
No one else has ever proven that after completing the test of one god, one cannot participate in the test of another god; it's just that no one had ever been able to find so many places for divine trials before.
"Thank you, Brother Chuan!"
After receiving permission, Zhu Zhuqing also showed a rare smile.
To be honest, the girl's sudden smile, despite her usually aloof personality, was quite a contrast, and Lin Chuan couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
However, Lin Chuan quickly looked away.
In any case, Shui Bing'er's efforts were not in vain as she gained the recognition of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which is the Heart of the Sea God.
"Alright, Bing'er, you should all get some rest these next few days. You'll probably be going on a long trip soon, so make sure to talk to your families about what you need to say."
The women's initial excitement dissipated considerably in an instant.
After all, they were heading to Poseidon Island to participate in the trials. According to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's previous descriptions, each trial had a time limit, so it was impossible to turn back halfway.
In other words, they will be staying on Poseidon Island for the next few years.
This also means being separated from family and friends for a long time, so it's best to talk to your family and friends before you leave.
Such a rare opportunity was one that the girls would naturally not choose to give up.
"Xiao Chuan, I'm entrusting these children to you!"
Shui Lanxin spoke softly, making her request.
Lin Chuan replied with a smile, "Don't worry, Dean. Although I won't stay on Poseidon Island, I can still safely deliver them there. Although the trial is somewhat dangerous, as long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any danger to their lives."
"I'm relieved to hear you say that. I hope these children can grow up quickly so they'll be better equipped to face the war that's just around the corner!"
Shui Lanxin sighed softly and said nothing more.
This is a once-in-a-millennium test from the gods. Even if there is danger, I'm afraid the girls won't give up. It's up to fate to decide.
All these elders could do was manage all the affairs of Snowfield City well and wait for everyone to return in triumph.
"By the way, Aunt Ye, I met Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in Tian Dou City. He seemed to want to make peace with the Ye family. I wonder what you and Senior Gu think?"
Lin Chuan suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Ye Rong and Gu Yi beside him.
The father and daughter froze on the spot, their faces visibly darkening.
"Hmph, Ning Fengzhi has a good plan. When the Ye family was weak, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School did a lot of suppression in all aspects. Now that the Ye family is about to rise, they want to make peace. They are really shameless!"
Gu Yi snorted coldly, his words filled with anger.
"I'm afraid the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School isn't worried about my Ye family, but rather because of you, Xiao Chuan!" Ye Rong saw this very clearly.
After all, the Ye family had never hidden their actions and had almost openly pledged allegiance to Lin Chuan. Given the latter's current strength, it naturally aroused the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's apprehension.
I must say, he truly lives up to Ning Fengzhi's reputation!
"I will not interfere with your decisions, Aunt Ye. As for whether or not to reconcile with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, you can make your own decision."
Lin Chuan was just passing on a message.
After a moment of contemplation, Gu Yi spoke in a deep voice, "Old Poisoner, I'd appreciate it if you could accompany me to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to see what that brat Ning Fengzhi is up to!"
“Okay!” Dugu Bo agreed without hesitation.
Chapter 174: Self-reliance
After their conversation ended, Dugu Bo and Gu Yi left Snowfield City together.
Judging from his appearance, he should be going to have a chat with Ning Fengzhi. As for whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Ye family will be able to make peace, that depends on how well the two sides talk.
Lin Chuan learned from Ye Rong that in the past, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had only suppressed the Ye family's reputation and industry, and had never actually attacked or killed them. Even if they had formed a grudge, it was not deep.
If Ning Fengzhi is willing to pay some price, it is not impossible to resolve the issue.
Lin Chuan was not worried about the safety of Gu Yi and Dugu Bo.
Given the intelligence capabilities of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they must be very clear about his relationship with the two of them. Unless Ning Fengzhi has lost his mind, he wouldn't do anything foolish at this time.
"Get ready, everyone. We'll set off once the two seniors return!"
The women nodded in agreement and then left together.
This was no small matter; they had to inform their families before setting off, so the group headed off to their respective hometowns.
Lin Chuan then turned to Shui Lanxin and Ye Rong, "I'll leave Xueyuan City to Dean and Aunt Ye. I'll return as soon as I've delivered Bing'er and the others to Seagod Island."
"Don't worry, with us here, there's no need to worry about Snowfield City."
"Sister Ye is right. I'll leave those children in your care, Xiao Chuan."
