Sea God Island.

Under Bo Saixi's personal direction.

Luo'er's purification ritual proceeded quite smoothly.

On top of that, there was the mermaid's song, as well as mermaid tears mixed together with Hua Luo Can Hong.

Luo'er's Soul Power plummeted straight down from the Spirit Titled Douluo realm. After a long period of wearing it away, all of her spirit rings were finally infused into the medicinal power of Hua Luo Can Hong.

Fortunately, there was the support of divine power.

Although all of Luo'er's spirit rings would slowly disperse, her Soul Power did not scatter too much.

In other words, she had a body of Soul Power comparable to a Spirit Sage, even a Spirit Titled Douluo, but not a single spirit ring, and she also could not hunt for new ones.

After giving Tang Po some instruction, Su Mutian discovered that this child was actually rather interesting.

He was surprisingly quiet.

If you took the initiative to talk to him, it was fine.

If he was left alone, he would not make a fuss like children his age, would not shout, would not roll around.

Instead, he sat there blankly, immersed in his own world.

Very gentle.

Su Mutian even suspected that little Tang Po was a transmigrator like himself.

Just like Tang San, especially sensible from childhood; seemingly in a daze, but secretly developing in a sneaky way and cultivating the Mysterious Heaven Skill behind everyone's backs.

But unfortunately, little Tang Po was not a transmigrator.

From what he learned from the Sea Charm Tribe.

Little Tang Po had originally been extremely clingy, no different from an ordinary child, especially toward his mother, always pestering Luo'er to ask where his father had gone.

Granted, Tang Po should not have been born in this world. At least, that was what the Sea Charm Tribe believed.

But what should not have happened had already happened.

The Sea Charm Tribe was not harsh either, aside from disparaging Tang Chen terribly and saying things like he had lost his father out of nowhere.

The Sea Charm Tribe treated Tang Po quite well.

But as Luo'er's backlash grew more and more severe, her body gradually became unable to hold on, until one outburst revealed the vicious signs of entering demonhood.

Only then was little Tang Po frightened.

After this happened many times, no matter how well the elders of the Sea Charm Tribe coaxed him, it ultimately left a childhood shadow.

So Su Mutian carried little Tang Po away, not wanting him to see his mother in such a wretched state.

But in truth, little Tang Po vaguely knew what was happening. He just did not say it.

At dusk.

Usually, at this time, Bo Saixi would be on Sea God Island, watching Su Mutian eat with great interest.

But this time, Bo Saixi's Soul Power had been greatly damaged.

Do not be fooled by the fact that guiding Sea God's Light was one of Bo Saixi's duties. In truth, it was extremely difficult to use.

This was also why there were at most three slots a year.

Sea God Priest Hall.

Su Mutian quietly climbed up to the tower and took several wrong turns without entering the right room.

There was no helping it.

Who told him that he had barely left the hall before?

With clothes handed to him when he stretched out his hands and food served to him when he opened his mouth, lazing around in his free time and cultivating occasionally.

His ability to take care of himself really could not be considered very good.

At last, Su Mutian gently pushed open a door and saw Bo Saixi, dressed in a pale blue gauze robe, lying on the bed.

Her face was haggard, and she slept quietly.

Clearly, she had overused her Soul Power and was already exhausted.

"Is it as if there are no support-type Spirit Masters and Food System Spirit Masters on the island? She didn't even know to call someone over to heal her?"

It seemed that Sea God's Seven Sons were still far from enough. They needed experience.

Su Mutian shook his head.

Speaking of which, Sea God Island was his own home.

Why was he acting like a thief, sneaking around?

Was there something wrong with him?

Thinking this, Su Mutian lifted his head, squared his chest, and walked in openly...

Bo Saixi really was exhausted.

Someone had entered her room, yet she did not react at all, as if she had not noticed in the slightest!

For an instant, as Su Mutian looked at Bo Saixi's dazed, sleepy appearance and her disheveled hair, his imagination began to run wild.

Do not misunderstand. It was not that kind of imagination running wild, but that kind of imagination running wild!

If the one who came in had not been him, Su Mutian's face would have turned green.

Hmph, this Bo Saixi actually had no guard up against this at all. Damn it!

"However, the restrictions on controlling Sea God's Light are especially high. In later generations, when Xiao Wu sacrificed herself and Tang San wanted to revive her, he also used Sea God's Light to heal Xiao Wu only after obtaining the Sea God's approval. Its contribution was not small."

Speaking of which, this Sea God's Light really was a good thing.

A universal plaster.

Whoever stuck it on, it worked.

But there was one difference. Tang San was recognized as the Sea God's successor, so his affinity with the Sea God was relatively high, and using Sea God's Light was also relatively easy.

So even reviving someone on the verge of death did not look very difficult.

Although Bo Saixi held the noble status of High Priest of Sea God Island, in the end, she was not the successor designated by the Sea God.

And according to the various Titled Douluo of Sea God Island, the one with the highest affinity with the Sea God was actually Su Mutian.

But it was very sad.

Su Mutian did not know how to use it!

Bo Saixi released Sea God's Light by relying on the connection of the Sea God's priest scepter, but Poseinan had nothing.

If he had to say there was something, there was only one possibility.

Inside Sea God Hall, the Sea God Trident held in the hand of Sea God Poseidon!

But what made one want to cough blood even more was that the trident was astonishingly huge. It was obviously part of the statue!

It was a mere decoration. How could it be used by me?!

Thinking this, Su Mutian felt a little guilty as well.

After all, he had been the one who went looking for trouble, accepting the Sea Charm Tribe's allegiance, and even using this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

This was what led to Bo Saixi overusing her Soul Power. This exhausted state was all because of him.

Emmm...

That was right.

Su Mutian could roughly guess the situation on the continent's side as well.

If Tang Chen acted according to his warning, the Clear Sky Sect would inevitably split, and the radicals would choose to leave the Clear Sky Sect.

Of course, as the backbone of the Clear Sky Sect, Tang Chen naturally had the support of most people.

And the relationship between Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu was not hard to guess either.

After all, the Clear Sky Sect was now the head of the Upper Three Sects on the continent. With Tang Chen holding the fort, it was naturally incomparably powerful.

Spirit Hall was also in its developing stage, far from being a force comparable to an empire as it was after Bibi Dong became pope.

And the Angel Family was ambitious, originally aiming to unify the continent.

Therefore, at this point, what was Qian Daoliu's purpose in approaching Tang Chen?

Did that even need to be asked?

In any case, it definitely was not pure.

Although his purpose was far from pure, they were both Limit Douluo, and how did that saying go?

Feelings grow with time?

In short, the two of them had spent a long time together.

Naturally, friendship would also form.

The possibility of the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall getting together was very high.

However, in the original plot, the two sides might have fallen out because of Bo Saixi. In any case, after the opportunity on Sea God Island, the two became very unhappy with each other because of some relationship.

Together with Tang Chen later leaving the Clear Sky Sect, becoming neither human nor ghost, and disappearing without a trace.

Thus, the balance of Douluo Continent lost its equilibrium, and Spirit Hall expanded wildly.

Only then did Qian Jixun become unbridled, and Bibi Dong ascend to the position of pope.

But with Su Mutian's move.

He had preserved the Clear Sky Sect's top combat strength.

Although the result was very similar, with the Clear Sky Sect ultimately going into seclusion.

There was an essential difference.

First of all, Spirit Hall would still be wary of the Clear Sky Sect's existence and would not be overly confident.

Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen's relationship had not completely collapsed either.

The continent was still clearly in a state of mutual restraint.

The scales of power had not tipped!

Second, Su Mutian profited greatly from this!

The moment Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu made their choices.

Su Mutian heard the long-awaited good news from the conquest progress bar:

Tang Chen route deviation value has reached forty percent. Reward: Chaos Divine Sword Martial Soul Soul Power level fourteen, spirit ring*1
