Arrival at the New Continent
"Today is the 438th day at sea. The weather is sunny. I miss home... The vibrations of the Mark are getting stronger and stronger. I have a feeling that we will soon reach our destination."
Xu Mingxi closed her diary, stepped out of the cabin, and felt a gentle sea breeze and warm sunshine on her skin.
Finally, the grueling sea voyage was coming to an end, and everything around him felt so welcoming. Even Huo Quan, that young man, seemed much more agreeable to him now.
"Everyone, keep pushing! We're almost there. A whole new world awaits us."
"Okay~ (weakly)"
The long voyage left everyone exhausted, with no desire to speak. They managed a few words before returning to their repetitive tasks, which they had been performing for hundreds of days.
Unlike Xu Mingxi, who had Mark in the Sea of Consciousness that allowed them to know how far they were from their destination, all they could see was an endless ocean.
Xu Mingxi was aware of the situation and let them go, even though he himself was getting a little impatient.
He jumped onto the observation deck, placed his hands on the railing, and gazed into the distance, occasionally shooting down Flying Soul Beast that tried to rush up to him.
"Mingxi, Flying Soul Beast have been appearing more and more frequently lately. We should be moving closer to land."
"Yes, it's finally almost here. I wonder how things are at home, Grandpa. Do you miss your other little grandson?"
"That kid is much more lively than you were when you were a child, and don't worry, the Sect Master will never allow anyone to threaten the safety of the Star Crown Sect."
Four days after the Shark Tooth set sail again, Xu Mingxi, standing on the lookout tower, finally saw the shadow of land. This news excited everyone on the ship, and they were all in high spirits, completely different from before.
Before Xu Mingxi and the others could get close to land, they saw a ship coming straight at them.
"Miao Nong, stop the boat. Someone's coming. Let's assess the situation first."
Except for the Ninth Elder who stayed in the engine room, everyone else gathered on the deck. They all wanted to see what was going on with this suddenly appearing ship.
As the opposite ship gradually approached and the two ships drew near, Xu Mingxi walked to the deck railing. Several burly men in standard armor also emerged from the cabin of the opposite ship and walked towards Xu Mingxi.
"Who are you? Don't you know that this is the sea area under the jurisdiction of Sea Capital? How dare you drive such a dangerous Soul Tool here without reporting it?"
Xu Mingxi suppressed the urge to kill the soldier pointing a spear at him. Since he was in unfamiliar territory for the first time, he decided to learn about the situation first.
"Excuse me, may I ask Sea Capital this is?"
"Where did this country bumpkin come from Sea Capital is the largest and most developed port city in my Sun Moon Empire, ruling over the entire eastern coastal region."
"No, how could anyone not know Sea Capital? Could you be a spy sent by another country? Guards, seize them!"
Soul Ring began to appear on the soldiers' bodies, the highest being only purple. Xu Mingxi paid no attention to them, as she was still immersed in what the soldiers had just said.
The Sun Moon Empire... Could he have arrived at the Sun Moon Continent from ten thousand years ago? Wait, Sun Moon?
Xu Mingxi seemed to realize something, and with a wave of his hand, he tied up all the people in front of him. He told Song Jiang to go to the opposite ship to see if there was any useful information, while he himself fell into deep thought, pacing back and forth on the deck.
If that 'Sun Moon really the case, then he's hit the jackpot. The Deity represented by these two are at least First-Level God.
Below the Five Great God Kings in the Douluo Continent, there are numerous gods. First-Level God is already the strongest among them. If there are two more Gods, they may become the strongest beings below the God Kings.
As Xu Mingxi sensed the two Mark in his Sea of Consciousness, he almost fell into a fantasy. It was just too possible. Asura Godhood and the Seagod Divinity, two unrelated things, could coexist, why couldn't the Sun Moon?
"Young Master Xu, we found this on their ship, please take a look."
Xu Mingxi took the Sea Beast Hide from Song Jiang, her eyes lighting up. This thing looked like a map, though it was a bit rough around the edges. But there was someone here who could translate it.
He walked up to the soldier who had pointed his spear at him earlier, holding the Sea Beast Hide, and patted him on the head with the skin.
"Brother, could you tell me about this Sea Capital, and explain this map to me as well?"
Is this how you treat your brothers? The soldier wanted to stand up for himself and not tarnish the reputation of Sea Capital, but thinking about how the person opposite him had taken them down with a wave of his hand, he decided to follow his heart and tell everything he knew.
This continent is called the Sun Moon Continent, and the most powerful empire is the Sun Moon Empire, where they are now located, which occupies nearly half of the Sun Moon Continent.
However, it is not without rivals. To the west of the continent, it is occupied by two smaller empires. Under pressure from the Sun Moon Empire, they have joined forces, and the entire continent is in a state of bipolar confrontation.
The inheritance of Soul Tool on the Sun Moon Continent has not been interrupted, and is in a period of vigorous development. Sea Capital the largest city on the eastern coastline of the Sun Moon Empire, and all coastal cities are directly under the administration of Sea Capital.
"You're saying His Majesty of the Sun Moon Empire is a legendary figure?"
"His Majesty is the most powerful monarch in a thousand years, having broken through to the legendary realm. He is the strongest being in the entire Sun Moon Continent. You, a traitor from another country, just wait to face your demise."
These were the last words the soldier uttered before Song Jiang threw him into the sea to be fed to the Sea Soul Beast, which immediately stunned Xu Mingxi.
For no other reason than that the emperor of the Sun Moon Continent, according to the soldiers, broke through to a legendary realm ten years ago and became the strongest on the continent. Surely he couldn't have become a god.
Xu Mingxi recalled the Sun Moon Continent in the Peerless Tang Sect. It seemed that the cultivation level of Soul Master was generally weak, and they mostly relied on powerful Soul Tool to fight. It seemed that the highest Soul Power was only Level 95, and that was near the end of the series.
If that's the case, it's not impossible that Titled Douluo were legendary beings on the Sun Moon Continent ten thousand years ago.
Xu Mingxi was temporarily relieved. Even if many ants can kill an elephant, they wouldn't provoke the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire. As long as they didn't confront him directly, no matter how strong the Sun Moon Empire's Soul Tool were, they would be useless if they couldn't hit them.
Moreover, once he obtains what the two Mark indicate, it's uncertain who will avoid whom.
He suddenly had a presumptuous idea: he wondered if there was any belief in gods on the Sun Moon Continent at this stage. If not, and he became stronger, could he perhaps use it, just for a little while?
