Just a few days after Liu Xiaoxiao and the others left Mizong Grand Canyon and returned to Spirit Hall, Wang Haochen suddenly said to Liu Xiaoxiao and Chen Fang, "Xiaoxiao, Chen Fang, interested in pulling off something big?"

"Something big? What are you planning?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked.

"Here's the situation." Wang Haochen briefly recounted his conversation with He Qiang that day, then said, "Because the conditions for using the secret technique are too demanding, I've killed no fewer than two thousand spirit beasts during this time, yet I've only been able to test the technique eight times. Still, most of the spirit beasts I killed were ten-year and hundred-year spirit beasts. And every so often, I have to change locations to avoid drawing the attention of powerful spirit beasts and other people. Fortunately, He Qiang's research into the secret technique has made some progress and has become much more refined."

"Killing large numbers of spirit beasts?" Liu Xiaoxiao was startled at first, then said, "No wonder I felt that your killing aura had grown much heavier."

"If your killing aura becomes too strong and you can't control it freely, it'll be very dangerous." Chen Fang's voice came from nearby.

"That's what I thought too. This time, I want to ask you to come with me to Moonlight Pavilion first and completely restrain our auras. Then you can help me conduct experiments on Sun Moon Continent. That way, at least after going through so much slaughter, we'll be able to keep our minds clear," Wang Haochen said.

"But doesn't Moonlight Pavilion only accept nobles? How are we supposed to get in?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked.

"I already spoke to Lin Bo about this beforehand. He'll help arrange suitable identities for us," Wang Haochen said.

"That guy Lin Bo wouldn't claim we're his sons, would he?" Liu Xiaoxiao muttered.

"How could that be? I'm still so young, while all of you are older than me. But if you insist on recognizing me as your godfather, I won't refuse." Lin Bo's voice rang out.

"..." Liu Xiaoxiao and the others were speechless.

Half a year later, the western coast of Douluo Continent.

"Half a year has passed. We've finally completely restrained our auras," Wang Haochen said.

"Chen Fang and I requested a long leave from Spirit Hall, saying we were going out to travel, but we have to return within two years," Liu Xiaoxiao said. "We need to hurry."

"Don't worry. According to He Qiang's estimate, as long as we don't lose our way, we can reach Sun Moon Continent in half a month," Wang Haochen said.

"So how exactly are we getting there?" Chen Fang asked. "Flying there isn't realistic, and traveling by sea is full of danger. Besides, we don't have a boat, and none of us knows how to sail one."

"This place isn't too far from Sun Moon Continent, so the Sea Soul Beasts living here probably aren't too powerful." Wang Haochen frowned. "As for the boat, that really is a problem. Ordinary small boats are only suitable for traveling near the coast. You should know that He Qiang and the others spent over ten thousand Gold Soul Coins specifically to buy a small boat."

Liu Xiaoxiao said, "You don't need to worry about that. Before I came out this time, I asked Spirit Hall for a small boat capable of withstanding attacks from hundred-year spirit beasts, and I also got some medicine that can drive away Sea Soul Beasts. As long as our luck isn't too bad, there shouldn't be a problem."

As he spoke, Liu Xiaoxiao took a small boat from his storage belt. It had twelve seats. After applying some medicine, the three boarded one after another, then closed the cabin hatch.

The small boat had been designed specifically for soul masters and could be powered by Soul Power. Liu Xiaoxiao and the other two quickly mastered the techniques of sailing it, then headed out into the boundless sea.

For the first three days, Liu Xiaoxiao and the others had a smooth journey and encountered almost no danger. They occasionally ran into spirit beasts, but drove them away with the medicine.

However, as time passed, the three gradually entered the open sea. Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts became increasingly numerous, and Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts even appeared from time to time, forcing the three to take action to keep the boat from being overturned.

"Even taking the shortest route to Sun Moon Continent is this dangerous. I really wonder how He Qiang and Chen Long made it to Star Luo Continent," Wang Haochen sighed.

"With their abilities, they must have made plenty of preparations beforehand," Chen Fang said.

"That's true. Maybe they've even deduced part of the Tang Sect Hidden Weapons. With top-tier hidden weapons like King Yama's Post, as long as they didn't encounter powerful spirit beasts over Fifty Thousand Year, there shouldn't have been a problem." Wang Haochen nodded.

"That's not very likely, is it? They could even create King Yama's Post? At least, I don't believe it." Chen Fang shook his head and said, "I'd guess they used some other method."

"Speaking of which, why haven't you said anything since earlier? What are you thinking about, Xiaoxiao?" Wang Haochen suddenly turned to look at Liu Xiaoxiao.

"Oh." Liu Xiaoxiao came back to his senses and said, "I was just thinking that since Sun Moon Continent and Douluo Continent will collide a few thousand years from now, what will happen to the Sea Soul Beasts between them?"

"Why think about such pointless things?" Wang Haochen shook his head. "A few thousand years are enough to change seas into fields and fields into seas. They'll have plenty of time to leave. A continental collision isn't nearly as fast as you imagine."

Suddenly, Chen Fang pointed into the distance and said, "Watch out!"

Liu Xiaoxiao and Wang Haochen looked in the direction Chen Fang indicated, and their expressions immediately changed.

"Demon Soul Great White Sharks!" Wang Haochen was startled. "How could this kind of spirit beast appear here?"

"And they seem to have Ten-Thousand-Year cultivation. There are three of them." Sweat trickled down Liu Xiaoxiao's forehead. "If they get close and destroy this boat, we're finished."

"There's nothing else to say. We fight them!" Wang Haochen shouted. His Third Spirit Ring lit up, and Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison rapidly spread out, enveloping the three Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

Chen Fang's eyes lit up. Through the Silver Moon Wolf King head Spirit Bone, he launched a mental attack that caused one of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks to falter.

Next, Liu Xiaoxiao gave a low shout and threw the Space God Blade in his hand. In the blink of an eye, it reached the remaining two Demon Soul Great White Sharks and carved wounds half a foot deep into them.

However, this chain of attacks did not directly finish off the three Demon Soul Great White Sharks. Instead, it drove them into an even more frenzied charge.

After a running start, Chen Fang swiftly leaped off the boat. His first three spirit rings lit up at the same time as he slammed down onto one of the Demon Soul Great White Sharks, suppressing it.

At the same time, the Space God Blade in Liu Xiaoxiao's hand flew out again, piercing through the other two Demon Soul Great White Sharks at even greater speed.

As three black spirit rings rose up, Liu Xiaoxiao and the other two finally dealt with the three Demon Soul Great White Sharks.

Chen Fang dismissed his Martial Soul Possession, then leaped back onto the boat.

"We need to leave this place quickly," Liu Xiaoxiao said. "The smell of blood will probably attract many Sea Soul Beasts soon."

Wang Haochen and Chen Fang both nodded, immediately accelerating the boat forward.

Over the next thirteen days, they encountered many dangers along the way. However, even the strongest Sea Soul Beasts they encountered had only Thirty Thousand Year cultivation, which eased their expressions.

"How did He Qiang and Chen Long dare travel to Star Luo Continent with only Soul Ancestor cultivation?" Wang Haochen could not help sighing.

"Look, land." Liu Xiaoxiao pointed ahead. "We're about to reach Sun Moon Continent!"

"Go, speed up!" Wang Haochen and the other two swiftly accelerated toward Sun Moon Continent.
