Bibi Dong Sets Sail

The sun blazes high, the sky is clear and blue, and the vast expanse of blue waves stretches to the horizon.

A small boat is speeding straight ahead on the sea, completely unaffected by the Wind Shadow.

Amidst the vast and boundless landscape, the petite yet stunningly beautiful figure on the deck of the boat captured the full radiance of this magnificent scene.

This person was Bibi Dong, who had set sail to find Su Cheng.

Bibi Dong has now officially assumed the position of Pope of the Spirit Hall for more than five years.

In these five years, her fame has spread far and wide.

Peak Douluo in his thirties, with Soul Power Level as high as Level 98.

With Sky Douluo Qian Daoliu now hidden deep within the Elder Hall and Haotian Douluo Tang Chen missing for many years, there is no one left on the entire Douluo Continent who can rival her.

This invincible aura, which allows her to dominate the world without suppressing her strength, has created a mental outlook that is completely different from her reality at this moment.

That slightly petite figure gave people the illusion of being extremely tall, possessing both the noble majesty of Pope and the arrogant domineering nature of an invincible powerhouse.

Like the blazing sun in the sky, she radiates a dazzling light that is impossible to look directly at, and can even make people subconsciously overlook her unparalleled beauty.

However, Bibi Dong was also experiencing emotional turmoil at this time, far from being as calm as she appeared on the surface.

For the past five years, she has been looking forward to this day every single moment.

That is why, even though she had already reached the pinnacle of power and status several years ago, she never dared to relax for a moment.

While diligently cultivating the Innate Skill day and night, he also dispatched a large number of powerful figures from the Spirit Hall to search for the hiding places of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast based on the clues left behind by Su Cheng.

This year, I finally completed the last Soul Ring for my Second Martial Soul, raising its level to Level 98.

With a powerful physical foundation, Second Martial Soul configured for a full 100,000 years, and an impeccable mental will, not to mention the self-suppression caused by the Rakshasa God Test.

Although her cultivation level is slightly lower now, she is confident that her strength is no less than that of Qian Daoliu, the High Priest the Spirit Hall at level 99.

"Bright Cult..." Bibi Dong held a thin book in her hands behind her back, the contents of which were the Ming Cult Doctrine that had been widely circulated on the seas over the years.

Her eyes narrowed slightly on her fair and pretty face, revealing a thoughtful expression.

When they parted years ago, Su Cheng said that once she finished cultivating her Second Martial Soul, she could find him by following the core members of the "Bright Cult" at sea.

With Bibi Dong's strength, this would not be difficult for her to do.

After arriving at the port city in the west of the Heaven Dou Empire, she also inquired about the "Bright Cult" force.

In those mainland port cities, there are many Soul Masters from the sea, most of whom are Sea People who trade with land Soul Master to exchange goods.

Among them, there were naturally many members of the Bright Cult, making intelligence gathering easy.

"Cheng Xue, what exactly do you want to do?"

Reflecting on what she had seen and heard over the past few days, Bibi Dong couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Combining the information provided by those Sea Spirit Masters, she easily knew that the founder of the Bright Cult, the "Divine Envoy" people talked about, was none other than Su Cheng himself.

Naturally, I was extremely surprised after confirming this.

The Ming Bright Cult, in terms of its influence on the high seas and the strength gathered among its lower and middle ranks, is now even more powerful than the Spirit Hall.

It should be noted that Su Cheng was only eighteen years old when he left the sea, and then stayed on the mainland for more than ten years without ever returning to the sea.

What does this mean?

This means that Su Cheng started this organization at a very young age, and in less than twenty years, he expanded it to the point where it surpassed the Spirit Hall in every aspect except for high-end combat power.

But that's not the most crucial issue. The most crucial issue lies in the Ming Cult Doctrine.

Bibi Dong immediately saw the problem.

Others might not know, but she knew perfectly well that Su Cheng did not believe in the so-called Sea God at all.

Several years ago, the other party even personally erased a Sea God of divine thought left behind by the Sea God on the Douluo Continent.

The hidden meaning behind this sent chills down her spine.

Even with her current status and power, she would never dare to provoke the gods.

The weaker a person is, the more arrogant they become due to their ignorance.

Now that she's reached her current level, she can better appreciate how incredibly difficult each step forward is, and how exaggerated the resulting increase in combat power can be.

She also didn't believe that Su Cheng would be an arrogant person.

If that's the case, what was the other party's purpose in doing this?

Even as early as his childhood, he began to plan and lay out for this for decades.

"Never mind, I'll just ask him in person..."

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's face revealed a heartfelt joy.

Compared to the slight unease in my heart, excitement and anticipation had already filled my chest.

She still clearly remembers that when they parted ways, Su Cheng had personally promised her their future together.

Perhaps once this matter is resolved, their relationship can take another step forward.

This idea doesn't just stem from past promises.

Strength brings confidence, while power breeds ambition.

She was confident that the Spirit Hall would flourish even more under her leadership.

Moreover, upon learning of the real existence of the gods, she believed that with their talents, they would surely achieve divine status in the future.

"Su Cheng, something seems off about the Seven Sacred Pillars lately." On the shore of a remote island nearly a thousand miles from Sea God Island, Lorelai gently slapped the sea with her fishtail and said in a deep voice.

"Something's not right?" Su Cheng asked calmly.

"I can't really explain it either." The mermaid girl shook her head with a worried expression. "As you know, we Sea Witch are different from other Sacred Pillar Douluo; our connection with the Seven Sacred Pillars is much closer."

She spoke slowly, as if carefully choosing her words, "I feel like the Sacred Pillar is sick."

Upon hearing this, Su Cheng glanced at the other person and asked, "Are you sick?"

"It's just a description, and it's hard for me to describe." Lorelai scratched her hair in slight frustration, and her fishtail swung faster. "I feel a kind of weakness. Do you understand what I mean? But when I asked the other Sacred Pillar Douluo, they didn't feel anything, and the Sacred Pillar were operating without any problems."

"I understand. Don't worry, I'll go take a look when I have time, or you can ask my teacher," Su Cheng said casually.

He then turned to look at the distant sea, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and took out a mask to put on his face. "You go back first, I have guests."

"A guest?" Lorelai paused, then noticed his actions and asked curiously, "Why are you carrying this?"

"It's not convenient for that person to see what I look like. By the way, if you come to see me again in the future, just call me 'Divine Envoy' and don't call me by my name."

"Oh." Lorelai nodded.

At this moment, she also vaguely sensed an extremely powerful aura appearing in her perception.

Without asking any further questions, it turned around, flicked its tail, and quickly swam away from the island.

Not long after Lorelai left, Su Cheng saw a boat cutting through the waves, heading straight for the place where his aura was.

At first glance, it was just a small black dot, but after a dozen breaths, it had already reached a distance not far ahead.

The boat is not large; compared to a normal passenger ship, this yacht can only accommodate about a dozen people.

The next moment, the delicate figure on the deck leaped up and landed on the shore.

Bibi Dong reached out and the small boat she used for transportation transformed into a foot-long model, flew into her hand, and was stored in her Storage Soul Tool.

This unassuming little boat is actually an extremely rare transportation Soul Tool.

However, the two people on the shore were clearly not concerned with these trivial details; they were simply looking at each other.

Looking at the person in front of her, Bibi Dong couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, her chest heaving violently, and for a moment she was speechless.

In contrast, Su Cheng appeared much calmer. He walked up to her, nodded with a smile in his eyes, and said softly, "Long time no see."

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's emotions gradually calmed down, and her smile became even brighter.

"Haven't seen you for a long time."

Half a day later, Su Cheng and Bibi Dong walked slowly on an island where a large number of Bright Cult members had gathered.

Looking at the busy Sea People, Bibi Dong sighed softly, "People who live on the sea are really different from people on land."

Although she hasn't been here long, she can still see many differences with her discerning eye.

However, Su Cheng's style of doing things is quite different from that of ordinary Sea People.

"The Bright Cult you established..." As she spoke, Bibi Dong took out the book she had mentioned before, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"You noticed?" Su Cheng chuckled, not surprised by her reaction.

Bibi Dong isn't stupid; it's normal for her to have some guesses based on what happened before.

He never intended to hide it from the other party.

When it comes to the final battle, Bibi Dong's help will be needed.

"What do you think of my Bright Cult?" Su Cheng turned his head and looked at the residents on the island.

"Incredible," Bibi Dong exclaimed. "It's truly unimaginable how you did it?"

"What? How did you do that?"

"In such a short period of time, such a huge force has been gathered."

"It's all due to the circumstances," Su Cheng said slowly. "Ordinary people in this world have been suppressed for too long. The sea is not like the land; ordinary people have to endure more storms and disasters to survive. So, when I give them a chance, these people will naturally unleash unimaginable will and energy."

He turned to look at Bibi Dong, his gaze deep and thoughtful. "The gods are high above, unable to understand the suffering of ordinary people. All they need and desire is faith. They don't care about the lives of ordinary people. Since that's the case, I will change all of this and give them a chance to decide their own destiny."

"..." Bibi Dong stared blankly at Su Cheng.

At that moment, a hand was extended. "Your His Holiness the Pope from the Spirit Hall of the Mainland, would you be willing to help me?"

Su Cheng did not mention the previous agreement, but only asked her if she was willing to help him.

"Your business is my business." Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's surprised and scattered gaze sharpened, and a smile bloomed on her face.

She placed her hand in Su Cheng's palm and held it tightly. "What do you need me to do?"

Su Cheng raised his other arm and pointed towards the distant Sea God Island, calmly saying, "Flatten Sea God Mountain and smash the Sea God Hall."

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's eyes widened slightly, and a mild tingling sensation, like an electric current, shot from her tailbone all the way up to the top of her head.

My body was trembling uncontrollably; I couldn't tell whether I was excited or terrified.

"They destroyed the Sea God Hall?"

"That's right."

Su Cheng turned to look at Bibi Dong, "At that time, you only need to keep my teacher in check, and I will take care of the rest."

"Your teacher, the Sea God Island High Priest?"

Bibi Dong now also knows about Bo Saixi's existence.

They also knew that he was Peerless Douluo of level 99, on the same level as Qian Daoliu, the High Priest the Spirit Hall.

Now that they are on the high seas, the enemy's fighting strength is likely to be much greater.

Despite this, she wasn't afraid; in fact, she was quite excited.

Since her debut, she has never fought against a top-tier expert of this level.

"But isn't she your teacher?" At this moment, Bibi Dong's face showed a hint of hesitation.

"Don't worry, you just need to fight with all your might." Su Cheng smiled. "My teacher is much stronger than you think. Just don't lose too quickly."

He was genuinely not worried about Bo Saixi's safety.

This Sea God Douluo is now far stronger than when he first became the High Priest.

Over the past five years, Su Cheng had witnessed all the changes in the other party. He didn't know Tang Chen's situation, but in terms of combat strength, Bo Saixi had definitely surpassed Qian Daoliu.

The change in her state of mind deepened her understanding, strengthened her will, and made her control over her power completely different from before.

"Aren't you afraid that doing this will make your teacher resent you?"

After hesitating for a moment, Bibi Dong finally asked the question that had been bothering her.

She could sense that Su Cheng had deep feelings for Bo Saixi, just like she had felt for Qian Xunji back then.

Unlike Qian Xunji, Bo Saixi had clearly never done anything to wrong Su Cheng.

Even when Su Cheng, as her disciple, refused the Sea God Trial and chose to leave Sea God Island for the mainland, Bo Saixi did not stop him.

"..."

Su Cheng fell silent upon hearing this.

What he is about to do will not harm Bo Saixi in any way, and may even greatly benefit him.

But this is not an excuse.

He couldn't comfort himself with that and justify saying that everything was for Bo Saixi's good.

Not to mention that his motives were impure from the very beginning.

Even if everything she did was truly to free Bo Saixi from her fate and the Sea God's control, it was still wrong.

Su Cheng has been talking about will and freedom all along, but what qualifications and rights does he have to decide other people's choices?

Bo Saixi is not a child.

She is an adult with her own convictions and beliefs, and her own goals and pursuits.

She dedicated the first half of her life to Sea God Island, regarding her mission as the greatest honor, so how could she easily deny or discard it?

"I'm scared." After a long while, Su Cheng exhaled a long breath and said calmly, "But this is my choice. I'm a selfish person too..."

Although the look of inner turmoil in his eyes was fleeting, it was still accurately captured by Bibi Dong, who kept her eyes fixed on him.

A wave of tenderness washed over her, and she immediately regretted asking the question.

She couldn't help but grab Su Cheng's hand and said firmly, "You still have me. Whatever you want to do, I will be with you."

Su Cheng glanced at the hand she was holding, but didn't say anything more.

He shook his head inwardly, fearing that Bibi Dong's situation might not be much better than Bo Saixi's.

"Is it enough for me to just keep your teacher in check? You can handle Sea God Island all by yourself?" Bibi Dong didn't let go of his hand, her pretty face slightly flushed, but she pretended to be nonchalant and changed the subject.

"I've heard that there are many Titled Douluo there, and that there's a powerful island-protecting formation."

She didn't know how strong Su Cheng was now, but she figured that even if he was stronger than her, he wouldn't be much stronger.

After all, only five years have passed, and the other party doesn't have Second Martial Soul like me, so they can quickly increase their strength by absorbing Soul Ring.

Once Soul Master reaches the Titled Douluo level, it becomes extremely difficult to level up through arduous training.

Besides the formations and powerful individuals, the Sea God Mountain itself on Sea God Island is probably no ordinary place either.

That place is a place for worshipping gods, just like Spirit City. Who knows if there are other secrets hidden there?

Even if they don't have Seven Great Elders like the Spirit Hall, they must have other methods.

"Don't worry, I grew up on Sea God Island and I know the situation there very well," Su Cheng said calmly. "I know what I'm doing. As long as my teacher isn't here, no other Titled Douluo can pose any threat to me."

He then turned to look at the Bright Cult members on the island, "Besides, I'm not alone."
