The next morning.
Li Changsheng flew toward Sea God Island with Shui Rou and Ao Shuang, mother and daughter. They traveled at tremendous speed, and before long, Sea God Island came into view in the distance.
Sea God Island gradually appeared before them. Once they set foot on it, they discovered that the entire island was green. The vast island made Li Changsheng feel as though he had returned to the mainland. As far as the eye could see, there was no end in sight. All kinds of plants grew across the island, many of which Li Changsheng could not name.
The air carried the bracing scent of the ocean. It was fresh, moist, and soothing to the heart. Within the wind, the sea's cries and murmurs could faintly be heard, bringing with them the gentleness of the ocean.
Under the sunlight, the beach was pure white and fine, its grains of sand gleaming like tiny crystals. Looking back toward the shore, countless seagulls competed as they flew.
The blue sky blended seamlessly with the vast universe, creating a comfortable feeling.
As he gazed at the beautiful scenery, the excitement in Li Changsheng's eyes, after all those years of rarely leaving home, was gradually replaced by fascination.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
"Why do you look so enchanted?"
"Could it be that Sir has never seen scenery like this?"
The three women were puzzled by Li Changsheng's entranced expression.
"Sir, what's wrong? Why do you look so enchanted the moment you see Sea God Island?"
"You look like you've never seen the world."
In the end, it was the youngest, Ali, who spoke up so they would not delay entering Sea God Island. Her words brought the absent-minded Li Changsheng back to his senses.
When Li Changsheng came back to himself and heard Ali's innocent words, his face darkened. He raised his hand and gave Ali a knock on the head.
Ali crouched down and clutched her aching head. "Sir is a bad person. Hitting someone on the head is bad. You'll turn me stupid, boohoo."
Hearing that, Li Changsheng could only helplessly explain why he had looked so captivated just now. "Sigh, I've been living in seclusion all these years and rarely went out."
"Even when I did go out a few times, I never stayed out for long."
"It was difficult to see such beautiful scenery, so when I saw this sight just now, I was briefly unable to pull myself away."
"I only came out this time to seek an opportunity for another breakthrough."
Ali gave an "oh" and stood back up.
When Shui Rou and Ao Shuang heard this, their suspicions about Li Changsheng became even more certain. Sure enough, he appeared in order to seek an opportunity to become a god. We must follow him closely. Perhaps we can become gods along with him.
What the two women did not know was that Li Changsheng had never intended to become a god. What he wanted was to become an immortal. Gods were bound by their Divine Realms. Once they reached the peak of their own Divine Realm, they could no longer continue cultivating. Take the Asura God and the Sea God, for example. They had already cultivated their respective Divine Realms to their limits. If they wanted to continue cultivating, they could only relinquish their Divine Realms. But how could one simply give up a Divine Realm whenever one wished? A successor had to inherit it before it could be passed on. When one first became a god, the Divine Realm helped with cultivation. But once one reached the peak of one's Divine Realm, further cultivation became impossible, and the Divine Realm instead became shackles upon cultivation. Thus, Li Changsheng had never considered becoming a god.
The immortals Li Changsheng wished to become were different. Although immortals did not have the assistance of a Divine Realm when cultivating at the beginning, they were freer than gods. They had no restraints, possessing great freedom and great ease. Moreover, Li Changsheng wanted to become a complete immortal by fusing Soul Power, physical strength, and Spiritual Power into one. Once he became an immortal, his strength would absolutely not lose to a God King. His foundation was simply too profound.
Back to the story.
"Why did Mr. Li come without having someone notify us first? That way, we could have welcomed you outside the city."

Just as Li Changsheng was explaining things to the three women, a familiar yet gentle voice suddenly came from the distance.
Li Changsheng and the other three turned to look, only to see Sea God Island's High Priest, Bo Saixi, flying toward them with the many elders of Sea God Island.
When Bo Saixi and the others arrived before the four of them, she respectfully said to Li Changsheng, "Welcome to Sea God Island, Mr. Li."
Li Changsheng waved his hand. "Mm, High Elder, you are too polite. Even if this seat had nothing to do, I would often come to Sea God Island. Sea God Island's scenery truly makes one yearn for it."
Bo Saixi took Changsheng's words as praise for Sea God Island's scenery and humbly replied, "Mr. Li flatters us. If you have time in the future, you may visit Sea God Island often. I will certainly welcome you warmly."
Bo Saixi very much wanted to befriend Li Changsheng. Judging from his appearance, he had become a Title Soul Sage at around twenty years old, which was why his looks had remained unchanged until now.
A twenty-year-old Title Soul Sage! What kind of talent was that? He had surely reached the realm of a Level 9 Ultimate Douluo by now. A Level 9 Ultimate Douluo could even crush the nearly million-year-old soul beast—the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. His strength and talent were plain to see. He undoubtedly possessed the potential to become a god. If she befriended him, perhaps she could escape her own fate—escape the destiny of sacrificing herself to open the Sea God Ninth Trial for the inheritor of the Sea God Inheritance. After all, who would want to die if they could live?
Having thought through her current situation, Bo Saixi led Li Changsheng and the others into Sea God Island.
Hai Long Douluo and the other seven Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo followed behind Bo Saixi. Watching Bo Saixi walk ahead alongside Li Changsheng, the seven began discussing the matter in low voices.
"Who exactly is this Mr. Li?"
"How would I know? But their relationship definitely isn't ordinary."
"Of course. Didn't everyone see the High Priest's attitude toward that Azure Wolf?"
"But I can't sense even the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power from him. He looks like an ordinary person."
"Sigh, Hai Long, it seems your intelligence is worrying."
"That's right. You all know I can hear other people's thoughts, don't you?" Hai Nv Douluo said solemnly.
The remaining six Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo nodded. They had all experienced Hai Nv Douluo's ability to eavesdrop on others' thoughts. Even Hai Long, the strongest among them, could have his thoughts heard by Hai Nv Douluo.
Hai Nv Douluo said, "Just now, I tried to listen to his thoughts, but I could not hear anything at all. I was even struck by a backlash from his Spiritual Power. So I dare say that his strength is absolutely above ours. Seeing the High Priest's attitude toward him, I am even more certain that his strength is beyond anything we can imagine. That is why we cannot sense any fluctuations of Soul Power from him."
But suddenly, Hai Nv Douluo changed her tone and said with certainty, "So our High Priest must have fallen for him. Who wouldn't admire a strong person? Hehe."
The six Seven Sacred Pillar Douluo were all astonished when they heard that.
Bo Saixi, walking at the front of the group, naturally heard the quiet discussion behind her. Her slender hands clenched tightly together as she muttered inwardly:
Sea Woman, why are you speaking such blunt truths?
Although I do have a favorable impression of Mr. Li, it's so embarrassing when you say it out loud.
It seems I need to have a proper talk about sisterly feelings with her.
If even I can hear it, Mr. Li can definitely hear it too. What must he think of me?
Bo Saixi secretly glanced at Li Changsheng, only to suddenly discover that he was looking at her with a smile.
Bo Saixi blushed and immediately turned her head away. Her heart was already in turmoil.
Ah, he definitely heard it. What do I do? What do I do?
