Above the unruffled sea, Huo Yuhao stopped to survey his surroundings. Sea God Island was difficult to locate, with Tang San's divine power concealing the surrounding area.
Another reason was that he could not openly search for Sea God Island. However foolish Tang San might be, he would still recognize Huo Yuhao's intentions.
Just as Yan Shaozhe had done before him, Huo Yuhao merely dropped a spatial crystal every so often.
He made it look as though he was setting up some formation or searching for something.
To prevent Tang San from sabotaging his teleportation, Huo Yuhao mixed a few colored crystals among the many others, imitating the fluctuations of a formation's core crystals.
That way, even if Tang San grew suspicious, he would at most destroy the core crystals, while Huo Yuhao needed only the two crystals at the crucial positions.
Over his months at sea, Huo Yuhao's figure had grown increasingly tall and slender. Paired with his blue-and-gold robes, he already looked every inch the leader of a major power.
Viewed from high above, the distribution of crystals, deliberately arranged by Huo Yuhao, vaguely formed an enormous circular formation together with those on Yan Shaozhe's side.
Some sections had conspicuous clusters of extra crystals that looked entirely out of place within the overall formation.
In the Divine Realm, Tang San gazed down, casting a mocking glance at the sea. "Knowledge from a magical system? It seems that visitor from another world has some ability."
Evading Xiao Wu's questions, Tang San summoned Niu Tian and the current Sea God priest. "Destroy the crystals at these coordinates. Remember to replace them with fake crystals, and don't let anyone notice."
Tang San watched Niu Tian and the Sea God priest withdraw with satisfaction, though Xiao Wu's questions gave him a headache.
