Bai Xiuxiu, Purple Pearl!
"Congratulations, Palace Master Zhou! The One Qi Transforms into Three Purities' is truly unprecedented. With such formidable divine abilities, you could likely rival even the Asura God King, one of the Five Supreme Beings of the Divine Realm!"
Bo Saixi sighed with envy and said...
"High Priestess, you flatter me. The path of cultivation is inherently profound and unpredictable. I am merely a beginner on this path and do not deserve such praise."
Zhou Chen's main body and three clones exchanged glances, then spoke in unison. Their overlapping voices echoed across the sky, like the voice of the Great Dao, full of vastness and magnificence.
Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi chuckled and shook his head, saying, "If even Palace Master Zhou is considered a beginner, then wouldn't I be a newborn child?"
"Hahaha, High Priestess, do not underestimate yourself. The potential for the Sea God's divine position is great. I would not be surprised if he advances to the God King level in the future."
Zhou Chen laughed a few times and offered polite compliments.
"No, no..."
Bo Saixi blushed slightly upon hearing this, clearly indicating that he still lacked the ability to be shameless.
A man and a woman, a human and a god, exchanged a few pleasantries before Zhou Chen smiled and took his leave, saying, "High Priestess, this trip to Sea God Island has been very fruitful. I should return to Heaven Dou City to adjust the Heaven Dou Empire's strategy towards the Spirit Hall."
"As a prince Nation Protecting Prince, Palace Master Zhou is extremely busy, so I will not keep you any longer."
Bo Saixi smiled nonchalantly, but a slight sadness settled in his heart.
She felt a good impression of this handsome and strong young man, and as it was time to part, she suddenly felt a little reluctant to leave.
However, this feeling was fleeting. Bo Saixi, who was once the High Priestess of Sea God Island, had long since become quiet and somber in her daily prayers and solitude, so she was not so easily stirred.
Moreover, her lover Tang Chen, whom she had waited for so long but only saw for three days, had only recently died.
The thought of Tang Chen turning into dust and bones before her eyes still caused Bo Saixi a slight pang of pain in her heart.
Seeing Bo Saixi's expression suddenly become somewhat complicated, Zhou Chen frowned.
As the saying goes, a woman's mind is the hardest to guess. Even though he had a good impression of Bo Saixi, he couldn't be bothered to guess.
There will be plenty of time in the future; even if you want to comfort Bo Saixi, there will be plenty of opportunities later.
"High Priestess, then I shall take my leave."
Zhou Chen smiled faintly, and his main body quickly formed several Dao Seal before returning his three clones to his body, preparing to leave.
With Zhou Chen's current strength, he can only maintain this One Qi Transforms into Three Purities Ones Divine Power for a quarter of an hour. Even if he doesn't quickly withdraw it into his body, it won't be long before the clone transforms back into a soul phantom and merges back into Zhou Chen's soul.
Just then, a frantic, sweet voice suddenly came from the sea below. "Chen Ge, are you leaving the sea and returning to land? Can you take me with you? I want to see the prosperity of the land!"
Then, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, once the Sea God's mount, Xiao Bai, floated on the surface of the sea and spoke.
She had recovered from the dizziness she had just experienced.
Not only her, but the other Demon Spirit Great White Shark, as powerful Sea Soul Beast, also regained consciousness.
"Sure, if you're willing."
Zhou Chen smiled and nodded. After the fierce battle with the Evil Spirit Tiger Whale, he and Xiao Bai could be considered friends.
Besides, being on good terms with Xiao Bai is also in his interest.
"Chen Ge, you're so kind!"
Xiao Bai's tail swished back and forth, clearly indicating that it was very happy.
She turned her head and looked at the sharks behind her, exchanging a few words with them in the language of the Demon Spirit Great White Shark, seemingly handing over her leadership to another member of the clan temporarily.
Then, she raised her head and looked at Sea God in the sky Bo Saixi. Before she could speak, Bo Saixi smiled and said, "Xiao Baibai, go play. With me here, you don't need to guard Sea God Island every day."
"Wow, Your Sea God Your Majesty, you're so kind!"
Xiao Bai excitedly leaped up on the sea. With a limited vocabulary, although she was excited, she could only repeat this one sentence to praise others.
With the Sea God's permission, Xiao Bai was completely relieved. She looked up at Zhou Chen and said in a pure voice, "Chen Ge, ride me. I'll take you to swim in the sea and return to land."
"Haha, great, I hadn't ridden enough yet."
Zhou Chen laughed a few times, nodded to Bo Saixi, and then flashed across space, standing directly on Xiao Bai's smooth back, casually touching her dorsal fin.
"Hold on tight, we're off!"
Xiao Bai excitedly flicked its tail and then darted across the sea like an arrow.
A refreshing sea breeze swept by, and the nearby seawater turned into a blue halo that kept drifting past his body. For Zhou Chen, this feeling was quite exhilarating.
It's like surfing.
High in the sky, Bo Saixi watched the man and shark gradually disappear into the distance, a gentle smile playing on her lips...
Half a day later.
As the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai's swimming speed is undeniably fast. In just half a day, she swam to the densely populated nearshore area.
The area is densely populated because merchant ships and fishing boats frequently pass through it.
Clearly, although maritime transport in the Douluo Plane is not yet very prosperous, it has already reached the level of Earth's classical era, enabling it to navigate in near-shore areas.
For example, right now, Zhou Chen saw several ships chasing and entangled on the sea not far away.
At the very front was a massive merchant ship, its masts billowing with sails and rows of oars constantly rising on both sides, clearly indicating that the ship was sailing at full speed.
The most striking thing about this merchant ship was its flag, which was a White Tiger.
Yes, this is a large merchant ship belonging to the Star Luo Imperial Family's royal family.
Behind the merchant ship followed several speedboats.
These fast ships were not small either, but compared to the merchant ships in front, they were rather insignificant.
The hulls of these fast boats were painted entirely iron-colored, with only the decks decorated with bright, colorful paint.
Rumor has it that painting the ship's hull iron-colored would minimize the chances of it being attacked by Sea Soul Beast.
Beneath the iron-gray paint of these fast ships lies a thick layer of iron armor, with a triangular metal ram at the bow, clearly indicating strong offensive and defensive capabilities.
Most importantly, none of these speedboats were flying any flags.
On the high seas, there is generally only one type of ship that does not fly a flag: pirate ships.
These fast ships have similar paint and hull designs, clearly belonging to a sizable pirate crew.
"Tsk tsk, these pirates are incredibly bold, daring to snatch food from the jaws of a tiger and become enemies with the ever-powerful Star Luo Empire?"
Zhou Chen muttered to himself, a mocking smile playing on his lips.
Just then, a rough, cold voice erupted from the pirate ship. "Listen up, merchant ships ahead! We're from the Purple Pearl Battle Group! Stop right there if you don't want to die!"
