Under Fang Xuan's expectant gaze, the Emperor smiled mysteriously. He opened his right palm, and a dazzling blue light was released, illuminating the entire hall in an instant.
This was a very peculiar treasure. It was triangular, and it was about the size of a child's palm. It was completely translucent, like a flawless sapphire, and it shimmered with a dazzling light. Divine light shone from within, and surging energy seeped out from its surface.
Fang Xuan's attention was immediately drawn to it.
"This … this is …"
Fang Xuan's eyes glowed brightly as an exciting name appeared in his mind.
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
Its true identity was the Sea God's Heart, and it was the core of the Sea God's Trident.
This was a genuine divine artifact.
Even though it was only a part of the Sea God's Trident, it was the core of the Sea God's Trident, and it was immensely powerful. Furthermore, this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had another function: it was the Sea God's Legacy Artifact.
Whoever received the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud's acknowledgment would receive the Sea God's favor, and they would be able to go to the Sea God's Island to participate in the divine-rank test in the future.
In a sense, this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was equivalent to a divine-rank qualification certificate.
Fang Xuan looked at the triangular Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and a hint of desire appeared in his eyes.
Who wouldn't be tempted by a divine-rank treasure?
"This is the Heaven Dou Empire's national treasure, the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. This treasure has a mysterious origin, and its value far surpasses that of a hundred thousand-year soul bone. I've asked many famous powerful beings to appraise this item, but unfortunately, no one was able to decipher its secrets. Even though no one was able to, everyone who has seen this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud has marveled at it and revered it as a divine-rank treasure.
Some say that it's the relic of a Pinnacle Douluo, some say that it's the remains of the Demon Monarch, and some say that it's a legacy artifact left in the mortal realm by the Heavenly Gods. There are many different theories, and it's hard to tell."
The Snowy Night Emperor had a benevolent smile on his face as he patiently introduced the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Fang Xuan. "However, there's one thing that I'm sure of: this treasure's value is immeasurable."
I know that much better than you do.
Fang Xuan muttered.
As a transmigrator, if he didn't even know this, wouldn't he have wasted his time?
At this moment, the Emperor suddenly walked down from his throne and slowly made his way over to Fang Xuan. He handed the sapphire-like Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud over to Fang Xuan. "Fang Xuan, from now on, I'm handing the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud over to you. I hope this treasure will protect you on your journey."
"What? For me?"
Fang Xuan was stunned. His eyes were filled with shock.
He couldn't believe his ears. A divine artifact was given to him just like that?
A sense of ecstasy suddenly welled up in Fang Xuan's heart as he looked at the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud that was right in front of him. He excitedly extended his hand as he tried to take the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from Xue Ye.
However, just as his fingers were about to come into contact with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Fang Xuan suddenly faltered. A grim expression appeared on his face as he quickly withdrew his hand. He was avoiding this treasure as if it were a poisonous scorpion.
When he came to his senses and thought about it carefully, he realized that something wasn't quite right. He wanted this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, but before he could steal it, the Emperor had delivered it to him on a silver platter.
There was … something fishy going on here.
With that thought in mind, Fang Xuan suddenly shuddered. A chill rose from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He couldn't help but shudder, and even his back was instantly drenched in cold sweat.
This was a divine-rank treasure.
Firstly, he hadn't saved the world. Secondly, he hadn't protected the peace of the universe. Thirdly, he hadn't saved Xue Ye. So why was he giving it to him?
Was he being rewarded for nothing?
There was something fishy going on here.
Fang Xuan's expression became more and more grave as his imagination ran wild.
What kind of ulterior motives does this emperor have?
He's not testing me, is he?
Just like in ancient movies, many emperors liked to put on a kind face and show concern for their well-being. In the end, they would inadvertently throw out the bait as a test to see if you were secretly coveting my throne.
Danger.
It's too dangerous.
Who knows, the moment you agree to it, a group of imperial guards might suddenly rush out and rub Fang Xuan against the ground.
The Emperor couldn't even bear to give the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Xue Qinghe, but he suddenly gave it to Fang Xuan. Who would believe that there was nothing fishy going on here?
If he wanted to live a peaceful life, he had to give up this treasure.
After thinking it through, Fang Xuan let out a long sigh and said seriously to the Snowy Night Emperor, "Your Majesty, this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud … I can't accept it."
"Uh."
This time, it was the Emperor's turn to be dumbfounded. Two days ago, he was arguing with Salas over tens of thousands of gold soul coins. Now, he didn't want a treasure that fell from the sky.
Why did this brat suddenly change his personality?
The Emperor was a little speechless. He was very puzzled and asked suspiciously, "Why?"
"Because this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is the cornerstone treasure of the empire. It's too valuable, and I haven't made any great contributions. I don't want to accept it," Fang Xuan replied.
"Alright, Fang Xuan, you don't have to worry so much. Although you haven't made any great contributions to the Empire, your stunning performance in the Soul Master Tournament has brought great glory to our empire. That's why this Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud belongs to you," The Snowy Night Emperor persuaded with a smile.
"Here you go." The Snowy Night Emperor handed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Fang Xuan again.
"I don't want it." Fang Xuan shook his head like a rattledrum.
He was sure that there was a trap here.
"I'm giving it to you." The Emperor thought that Fang Xuan was being modest.
"I don't want it." Fang Xuan said solemnly.
"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you." The Emperor was losing his patience.
"I don't want it." Fang Xuan revealed his true feelings.
"Accept my orders" The Emperor raised his eyebrows and assumed the dignified posture of a ruler.
"I dare not" Fang Xuan had a solemn expression on his face. He cupped his hands, bowed, and said with all his might.
The two of them were in a stalemate. They couldn't even give away a god-grade supreme treasure.
The Emperor's expression was a little funny. He wanted to cry. The cornerstone treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire was given to Fang Xuan for free, but this brat didn't want it. What's going on? Did he get hit in the head recently? Should I take him to see a doctor?
The Emperor was dumbfounded by Fang Xuan's counterattack. As a native of Douluo, he had never seen such a counterattack from a new generation of new humans. He didn't understand.
In the end, the Emperor broke down. His face was full of vicissitudes and helplessness. Even his body was a little weak. He passed the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud to Fang Xuan for the umpteenth time. He said in a pleading tone, "Just accept it. Treat it as a favor. Can you."
At this point, if he didn't agree, he would probably be punished severely.
"Alright, I'll take it."
Fang Xuan suddenly snatched the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. He expressed his gratitude first, then bowed. Finally, he calmly kept the treasure in his soul tool.
His actions were smooth and fluid. The Emperor's mouth twitched. What's this brat doing now?
If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided.
Fang Xuan thought about it, and a determined look appeared in his eyes. Looking at the Emperor's attitude, he couldn't reject the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. He could only reluctantly … accept it.
