Three Soul Cores

Composing themselves, everyone followed Xiao Bai into the sea amidst laughter and chatter.

As the waves crashed open, the group sped off towards Sea God Island.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty and astringent scent, also hints at a new journey ahead.

Before long, Xia Yang and his group returned to Sea God Island.

There aren't many high-level Soul Master Soul Master on the island now, because most of them had already been transferred to the mainland by Xia Yang to assist him in establishing the country.

Therefore, those currently remaining on Sea God Island are mostly low- to mid-level Soul Master.

However, even so, Sea God Island remained impregnable, and no one dared to act recklessly.

The reason is simple: the level 99 peak expert, the Great Offering Bo Saixi, is still stationed here.

As soon as Xia Yang and the others stepped onto the island's beach, before they could even speak, a calm voice clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Come to the Sea God Hall to see me."

"It's the voice of the Great Offering!"

Tang Yuehua immediately recognized it.

Let's go.

Xia Yang nodded, and then led everyone to fly towards the Sea God Hall in the center of the island.

During the flight, Xia Yang pondered to himself, "I sensed the Soul Power Fluctuation even before the Great Offering transmitted her voice..."

"It seems my cultivation has finally caught up with these veteran level 99 Titled Douluo."

Before long, the group arrived at the Sea God Hall.

Boom!

The two heavy stone doors opened by themselves.

Xia Yang stepped in first, followed closely by the others.

Deep within the main hall, Bo Saixi stood quietly on the central platform.

She wore a long red robe, held a scepter, and calmly looked at the crowd before finally fixing her gaze on Xia Yang.

"Xia Yang, you have already passed the previous eight Divine Exam."

Bo Saixi said, "Now, you only need to pass one last test to inherit the Sea God's God Position and become the new Sea God."

She paused for a moment, then continued, "However, before you begin your Ninth Assessment, I would like to ask for a leave of absence."

"No problem."

Xia Yang agreed without hesitation, saying, "I already know how to start the Ninth Assessment."

"If the Great Offering has any unfinished business, please go and take care of it. I am not in a hurry."

Thank you.

Bo Saixi nodded slightly, and before she finished speaking, her figure had already drifted out of the hall.

"Sea God Island is entrusted to you during my absence."

Her voice echoed softly in the hall, but her figure had already vanished.

"Brother Xia, what's going on?"

Tang Yuehua couldn't help but ask, "I heard from Sea Dragon Douluo and the others that the Great Offering cannot leave Sea God Island."

"This is a long story..."

Xia Yang sighed softly, then explained to everyone the price required for the Ninth Assessment of the Sea God: a level 99 Titled Douluo had to be sacrificed.

"So... when Brother Xia takes the Ninth Assessment, that's the time for the Great Offering sacrifice?"

Tang Yuehua gasped in surprise, covering her mouth.

"That's exactly right."

Xia Yang's expression was solemn as he said, "So, she wanted to go out and see the world in her final moments, how could I stop her?"

"I wonder where the Great Offering will go?"

Liu Erlong asked curiously.

"Perhaps... I'll go to the Clear Sky Sect."

Xia Yang speculated.

"Why?"

Ah Yin pressed for an answer.

Xia Yang glanced at Tang Yuehua and slowly said, "Yuehua's grandfather Tang Chen, once had a connection with the Great Offering..."

Afterwards, Xia Yang recounted the past between Tang Chen and Bo Saixi to everyone.

That long-forgotten story left everyone sighing with emotion.

"What a cruel twist of fate..."

Several people exclaimed in unison.

"Alright, although the Great Offering has left, we can't just sit idly by."

Xia Yang snapped out of his thoughts and said seriously, "During this time, everyone should continue to focus on your cultivation on Sea God Island."

In the days that followed, everyone cultivated their skills on Sea God Island.

Xia Yang also began to calm down and consolidate his cultivation.

His Soul Power has increased too quickly in the past year and a half.

Xia Yang's Soul Power broke through from level 90 to level 99, which can be described as a leap.

However, this also meant that he had not yet been able to complete the Soul Power Soul Core and Blood Essence Soul Core that he originally planned to condense.

Now is the time.

Xia Yang had already successfully condensed his Spirit Soul Core when he reached level ninety.

Although the methods for condensing Blood Essence Soul Core and Soul Power Soul Core are different, with his current level of mastery and control, he is already fully confident.

So, Xia Yang stayed alone deep within the Sea God Hall and began a long period of seclusion.

Six months later, Bo Saixi returned to Sea God Island.

As soon as she landed in the Sea God Hall, a surge of intense and powerful blood energy erupted from within the Sea God Hall.

That wasn't the smell of blood, but rather a surging, vibrant life force, as hot as the sun.

Bo Saixi could clearly sense the presence of Xia Yang in it.

She did not rush in, but waited quietly outside the hall.

This wait lasted for seven days.

Seven days later, the surge of energy gradually subsided, and the burning sensation gradually dissipated.

Just as Bo Saixi was about to step into the hall, another powerful surge of Soul Power suddenly erupted from within, sweeping across the surroundings like a tsunami.

"Again?"

Bo Saixi frowned slightly and said, "What exactly is this kid cultivating?"

"Great Offering, you've returned?"

Ah Yin's voice came from behind Bo Saixi.

Bo Saixi turned around and saw Ah Yin, Tang Yuehua, Liu Erlong and a few others walking slowly towards him.

"What is Xia Yang doing inside the palace?"

"Why was there a surge of blood energy first, and now it's a surge of Soul Power?"

Bo Saixi asked, puzzled.

"Brother Xia is condensing his Soul Core."

Tang Yuehua quickly explained, recounting Xia Yang's cultivation philosophy regarding Multiple Soul Cores.

Upon hearing this, Bo Saixi's eyes flashed with surprise, and he exclaimed, "No wonder he was favored by the Sea God..."

"This method of cultivation is indeed ingenious."

"The fluctuations inside the hall seem to have weakened."

Liu Erlong suddenly said.

Everyone looked towards the main hall.

Sure enough, Xia Yang's Soul Power power pressure was rapidly diminishing, and within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he had returned to calm.

"Come in, everyone."

Xia Yang's voice came from inside the hall.

As the group entered the main hall, they saw Xia Yang standing in the center, his body shimmering with golden light, his aura as deep as the sea. Just standing there, he seemed like God among mortals.

"Brother Xia, did it work?"

Tang Yuehua asked with concern.

"It went very smoothly."

Xia Yang smiled and said, "Now, I have completed the condensation of both Soul Core."

"When you and Erlong break through to the Titled Douluo in the future, you can use this method to condense the corresponding Soul Core. At that time, your strength will definitely far surpass that of ordinary Titled Douluo."

After saying that, Xia Yang turned to look at Bo Saixi and said, "Great Offering, you're back."

"Um."

Bo Saixi nodded.

"Have you finished taking care of everything?"

Xia Yang asked the question very subtly.

"It's all over."

Bo Saixi took a deep breath and said, "When will you begin the Ninth Assessment?"
