Sea God Island!
Sea God's expression changed faster than flipping through a book, and he said with a forced smile, "Of course I'd be happy to. So, what do you plan to do?"
"With your murderous aura, don't end up leaving my Sea God Island riddled with holes."
The Asura God snorted coldly, "It's just a simple setup. Your Sea God Island can't handle any high-level Divine Trial trials."
"At most, the first few exams will take place on Sea God Island."
Sea God breathed a sigh of relief, "Alright then, but you'd better be careful, my Sea God Island has quite a few believers."
The Asura God said calmly, "Don't worry, to make up for it, some of the strong people on your island can also participate in some of the trials."
"If they can hold on."
After all, this was someone else's territory, and the Asura God felt he still had to give the Sea God some face.
Upon hearing this, the Sea God finally laughed.
A month and a half later, in Vast Sea City.
After entering the city, Qian Daoliu and his group went to the Spirit Hall in Vast Sea City as soon as possible.
The Hall Master of the Spirit Hall in Vast Sea City is a lean, middle-aged man named Han Jing, Eighty-Third Rank agility-type Soul Douluo with the Martial Soul "Azure Wave Sea Serpent".
Upon learning of the Pope's and the Grand Elder's arrival, he led his men to wait at the entrance early in the morning.
Upon seeing Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji, Han Jing quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
"Your subordinate Han Jing, Hall Master of the Spirit Hall of Vast Sea City, respectfully welcomes Your Grand Elder, the His Holiness the Pope!"
"You have come from afar and must be tired from your journey. Your accommodations have been arranged."
Qian Xunji said calmly, "The ships should be ready, right?"
Han Jing nodded. "Your His Holiness the Pope, we are ready."
"This giant ship was built using state-of-the-art technology, and it is equipped with the appropriate crew and captain."
"The ship's hull is so sturdy that it can withstand dozens of ordinary attacks from a ten-thousand-year-old Sea Soul Beast."
Qian Xunji nodded, then told him to go and prepare.
The strength of this ship can only be described as average, after all, it can only withstand dozens of ordinary attacks from a ten-thousand-year-old Sea Soul Beast.
But he also knew that this was the result of their best efforts.
With the current technology on the mainland, it is indeed very difficult to build a ship that can withstand the attack of a powerful Sea Soul Beast.
After resting for a night, they all boarded the ship early the next morning.
Under the control of the captain and crew, the ship began its journey towards Sea God Island.
The ship is named "Vast Sea Ship" and is over fifty meters long and over ten meters wide.
The prow is carved with the head of a roaring dragon, and the hull is covered with thick composite armor of ironwood and metal.
On three enormous masts, white sails billowed in the sea breeze, fluttering loudly.
The Spirit Hall flag fluttered at the stern, its golden emblem gleaming in the sunlight.
A sea breeze blew in my face, carrying a salty, fishy smell.
The Vast Sea Ship cut through the waves, its bow cleaving the azure sea and stirring up white spray.
The captain was an experienced old sailor named Chen Yuan, who possessed the cultivation level of Soul Emperor.
He stood beside the helm, explaining the route and the seas they might pass through to Qian Xunji and the others.
Qian Xunji asked, "Is it possible to encounter any powerful Sea Soul Beast in the seas we pass through?"
Chen Yuan shook his head and said, "Your His Holiness the Pope, the route we've arranged is relatively safe."
"Avoid entering the waters teeming with powerful Sea Soul Beast as much as possible."
"Especially in the Demonic Whale Sea, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is the leader of the three Sea Soul Beast overlords in this area."
"Its domain awareness is extremely strong. If we accidentally wander into it, our ship will undoubtedly be destroyed."
"Even if Your His Holiness the Pope powerful, we cannot safely reach Sea God Island without subsequent ships."
According to Chen Yuan, if everything goes smoothly...
It will only take them ten to fifteen days to reach the waters near Sea God Island.
On the fifth day, Chen Yuan reminded everyone.
"My lords, we have entered a sea area where Sea Soul Beast have been frequently seen for over ten thousand years."
"Please be extra vigilant for the journey ahead."
That very night, after he finished speaking, they were attacked by a group of Sea Soul Beast.
Those were a herd of ancient Evil Spirit Orca!
In the darkness, dozens of enormous black shadows emerged from beneath the sea.
Like ghosts in the night, they approached the Vast Sea Ship silently.
The ship's lookout was the first to spot the anomaly and shouted, "There's something underwater!"
Before the words were finished, a Evil Spirit Orca, over ten meters long, burst out of the water, its sharp teeth gleaming coldly in the moonlight, and lunged at the ship's side.
Even without the crew member's reminder, some people on the ship had already sensed it.
Qian Xunji was the first to move. Six-Winged Angel phantom appeared behind him, and golden light instantly illuminated the entire sea area.
The aura of a Ninety-Seventh Rank Peak Douluo spread out completely, enveloping the sea surface within a radius of several hundred meters as if it were a tangible entity.
The movements of those Evil Spirit Orca froze simultaneously.
Qian Xunji ascended into the air, unleashing a torrent of golden sword energy from the Holy Sword in his hand.
The sword energy plunged into the water, ignoring the resistance of the seawater, and pierced through the bodies of one Evil Spirit Orca after another like a golden rain curtain.
Clumps of blood exploded on the sea surface, staining large areas of the water red.
The remaining Evil Spirit Orca sensed this powerful aura and fled in panic toward the deep sea.
The sea quickly returned to calm.
Tang Chen stood at the ship's railing, watching Qian Xunji land back on the deck, his gaze falling on Qian Xunji's ninth Soul Ring.
The red Soul Ring stood out conspicuously in the night.
Tang Chen's pupils contracted slightly. He turned to look at Qian Daoliu beside him. "Your Spirit Hall really has a grand scheme."
Qian Daoliu smiled slightly, "He is, after all, my son, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, so his ninth Soul Ring must be at the Hundred-Thousand-Year Tier."
Tang Hao sensed the commotion and came out of the room. He saw Qian Xunji's ninth Soul Ring and thought to himself.
When he becomes Quasi-Titled Douluo in the future, he will also hunt down a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
In Tang Hao's heart, Tang Chen has always been a role model on his path forward. His grandfather's ninth Soul Ring was 100,000 years old, so he wanted to be one too!
There were some minor incidents along the way, on the thirteenth day.
They finally arrived at the waters belonging to Sea God Island, and a small island could be vaguely seen in the distance.
The island was shrouded in a thin layer of white mist, appearing and disappearing in the morning light.
Chen Yuan warned, "Our ship can't go any further. If we go any further, we'll be entering the territory of the Sea God Island's guardian spirit beast, the Demon Soul Great White Shark."
"This is also the third of the three overlords of this sea area. The leader is a 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark, which is extremely powerful."
"Foreign Soul Master might be attacked in the past."
Qian Xunji said calmly, "Let's just sail over there. This ship will be fine."
