Upon hearing this, Lin Mo and the other two paused in their tracks.

Lin Mo turned to look at Bo Saixi and slowly said, "Who are you looking for? Please give your instructions, senior."

Despite saying that, Lin Mo remained outwardly calm, but he had already guessed who Bo Saixi wanted them to find.

Bo Saixi remained silent for a moment, her long, sea-blue hair swaying gently, a sad glimmer in her deep eyes.

" Tang Chen, the sect leader of the Clear Sky Sect, is at the Peak Douluo level, just like me. If you can find him, please pass on a message to Tang Chen for me." Bo Saixi said sadly.

"Please speak, senior." Lin Mo nodded slightly.

Bo Saixi said, "If you are fortunate enough to meet him, please tell him that I am waiting for him here."

If I'm lucky enough to see him again, that would be wonderful, but if you don't find him... or if he doesn't want to see me, then that's my fate...

Seeing Bo Saixi suddenly become sad, the two women beside Lin Mo were stunned. At that moment, they had a million questions they wanted to ask.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

They wanted to know why Bo Saixi looked the way she did, and they also wanted to know what the relationship was between Tang Chen, whom Bo Saixi mentioned, and herself.

And why did she look so preoccupied with him?

Before they could even ask, Lin Mo stopped them with a look.

Lin Mo nodded and said, "If I am fortunate enough to meet Senior Tang Chen, I will try my best to convey his words to him."

Given Tang Chen's reputation, he shouldn't be hard to find on the mainland.

Furthermore, if possible, I will try my best to persuade Senior Tang Chen to come to Sea God Island.

Of course, if Senior Tang Chen is unwilling, there's nothing this junior can do."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Bo Saixi immediately became excited. "That's good, that's good..."

She took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in her heart, and bowed slightly to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo stepped aside, refusing to accept her bow.

After a moment's consideration, Lin Mo decided to accept Bo Saixi's request, just to do her a favor.

Now that I'm strong enough and know who has the Asura Demonic Sword, I'll naturally try to get my hands on it if I have the ability.

"Rest assured, senior, I will do my best," Lin Mo said, clasping his hands in a fist salute.

Bo Saixi nodded and said nothing more.

Lin Mo turned around and left the Sea God Hall with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.

The three of them crossed the wide platform and walked down the steps.

Dugu Yan walked beside Lin Mo, having held back all the way, but finally couldn't help asking, " A-Mo, who is that Tang Chen? What is his relationship with the High Priest?"

Ye Lingling also looked over, her purple eyes filled with interest.

Lin Mo was silent for a moment before slowly speaking, " Tang Chen was the previous sect master of the Clear Sky Sect and one of the three Peerless Douluo of this era."

As for his relationship with Bo Saixi...

"It must be an old friend. I don't know the specifics."

Dugu Yan nodded thoughtfully and did not ask any further questions.

The three walked quickly and soon arrived at the foot of Sea God Mountain.

The rest of the waiting crowd immediately surrounded them.

Shui Yue'er was the first to jump up, her eyes sparkling. " Sister Yanyan, Sister Lingling, Lin Mo, you've finally come out!"

Huo Wu crossed her arms, a smile playing on her lips, "How was it? Did the Seventh Trial go well?"

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, Dugu Yan raised the trident in her hand.

The trident had now returned to its dull, unremarkable appearance, a far cry from its previous dazzling golden form in the Sea God Hall.

With a slight thought, Lin Mo witnessed a flash of red light, and the massive body of the Charizard appeared beside him.

The Charizard let out a low growl, its tail swaying gently, the flames at the tip dancing in the sunlight.

Eight Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath its feet, encircling its body.

Black, black, black, red, red, red, red, red.

Three black and five red Soul Ring gleamed in the sunlight, with the five blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring standing out particularly, radiating a chilling aura.

Ye Lingling also released her Martial Soul.

The Nine Heart Begonia bloomed in her palm, its pure white flowers swaying gently, emitting a soft pinkish-white glow.

Six black and one red Soul Ring surrounded the flower.

A hint of envy flickered in everyone's eyes. Was this the reward brought by the Top Level Eight Trials? It was indeed far superior to their Black Level Assessment.

Shui Yue'er's eyes shone as she looked at the trident in Dugu Yan's hand, which had returned to its dusty, gray state. Good!

" Sister Yanyan, is this the weapon you passed in your Seventh Trial? It looks so unremarkable, completely different from how it appeared in the sky just now."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan asked with slight surprise, "How did you know?"

Shui Yue'er chuckled and explained, "When you pulled out the Sea God Trident, your phantom appeared in the sky above the entire Sea God Island; we all saw it."

"Yes, yes," Huo Wu nodded, "That scene was spectacular; I bet the whole island saw it."

Shui Bing'er said softly, "And it's not just Sea God Island, even the Sea Soul Beast of the Sea Within the Sea are worshipping in this direction."

Dugu Yan was stunned. She hadn't expected that the moment she pulled out the Sea God Trident would be watched Synchronize by all the Sea Soul Master and Sea Soul Beast.

This made Dugu Yan a little embarrassed for a moment. She scratched her head and chuckled, "So you all saw it..."

Shui Yue'er's gaze remained fixed on the trident in Dugu Yan's hand, which Illuminate brightly.

Dugu Yan seemed to sense Shui Yue'er's anticipation, and with a mischievous grin, he handed it forward, muttering to himself, "Here, try it out. But be prepared, this thing is quite heavy."

Shui Yue'er rubbed her hands together, looking quite excited. "How heavy can it be? Let me touch it, this legendary weapon of the Sea God!"

She reached out and took the trident.

But the moment she received the Golden Trident, Shui Yue'er couldn't help but exclaim.

The trident was far heavier than she had imagined. Even though she had prepared in advance, the trident still slipped from her hand and crashed to the ground.

"Boom!"

With a muffled thud, a shallow crater was created in the ground, and gravel flew everywhere.

Shui Yue'er shook her numb wrist, her face full of shock. "This... this is too heavy!"

Dugu Yan bent down to pick up the trident, weighed it in her hand, and then said thoughtfully, "It seems to be the same as what I sensed."

However, if it were in your hands or used against the enemy, its weight would be one hundred percent of its original weight, which is 108,000 jin.

"Under normal circumstances, very few people could lift it using sheer Superpower."

Before Dugu Yan could finish speaking, Lin Mo reached out and took the Golden Trident.

He gripped the halberd handle with one hand, weighed it in his hand a couple of times, then tossed it up and caught it steadily.

The movements were fluid and effortless.

After playing with it for a while, Lin Mo returned it to Dugu Yan.

Seeing this astonishing scene, everyone was no longer surprised; they had gained a more direct understanding of Lin Mo's formidable physical abilities.

Shui Bing'er stared at the trident for a moment, then asked, "Can't it be stored in Storage Soul Tool? Can't it only be carried around like this?"

Dugu Yan shook her head slightly. "It's a pity we can't. This trident is of extremely high quality. If we put it into Storage Soul Tool of far lower quality, the Storage Soul Tool will definitely be destroyed."

She held the trident upright beside her, the hilt striking the ground with a dull thud.

But let's not talk about that now.

Dugu Yan looked at everyone, a smile on her face, "We can rest on this Sea God Island for a few more days before we leave."

"Really?" Shui Yue'er exclaimed excitedly, jumping up and down.

"Real."

Dugu Yan nodded. "I have now successfully passed the Seventh Trial of the Sea God. Within the area illuminated by the Sea God's Light, the rules of the Sea God will not apply."

She paused, then looked at Ye Lingling: "But let's rest for a few more days, until Lingling finishes absorbing her Soul Ring."

Ye Lingling nodded, a look of anticipation flashing in her purple eyes.

She possesses three God-Given Soul Ring, enough to provide her with her Eighth Soul Ring and Ninth Soul Ring.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The group chatted and laughed as they headed back towards Seahorse City.

For the next seven days, everyone was busy with their own things.

With Lin Mo and Dugu Yan protecting Ye Lingling, that was enough. The rest of them began to wander around Sea God Island.

With their current Black Level access, they can set foot anywhere on Sea God Island except for the Sea God Hall.

After all, this trip was difficult. Due to the survival pressure brought by the assessment in the previous period, they did not have time to properly explore Sea God Island.

Before leaving, I still want to go and see it one more time.

Huo Wu took Shui Bing'er to see the crater on Sea God Island, where there was a geothermal hot spring with extremely high water temperature and steam filling the air.

Feng Xiaotian went alone to the highest cliff of Sea God Island to overlook the entire ocean.

Zhu Zhuqing walked alone on the beach for a long time, gazing at the distant sea in a daze.

As for the more quick-witted Shui Yue'er, she volunteered to go to the territory of the Demon Soul Great White Shark to carry out the task assigned to her by Lin Mo.

Go and trade some resources.

Not long after, Ye Lingling finally emerged from the secret chamber. Her aura was much stronger than before her seclusion, and she exuded a sense of complete transformation.

The Nine Heart Begonia bloomed in her palm, with nine Soul Ring encircling the flower.

Black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red!

Nine Soul Ring, six black and three red.

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up. " Lingling, you succeeded?"

Ye Lingling nodded, a look of joy flashing in her purple eyes. " The Eighth Soul Ring takes 100,000 years, and the Ninth Soul Ring has also been successfully absorbed, also taking 100,000 years."

She paused, then added, " My Soul Power Level has also stabilized at Level 94."

Level 94!

Dugu Yan took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in her heart.

Although I had expected it, I was still shocked when I actually heard the number.

Lin Mo reached out and ruffled Ye Lingling's hair, smiling, "Congratulations, Sister Lingling."

Ye Lingling lowered her head slightly, a faint smile appearing on her face.

Dugu Yan stepped forward and took Ye Lingling's arm. " Lingling, your cultivation has increased too fast, I can't keep up with you anymore."

Ye Lingling smiled, "Once you complete your Eighth Trial and obtain the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone, your cultivation will increase significantly."

Dugu Yan nodded, a look of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Lin Mo withdrew his gaze, pondering to himself.

Although he currently possesses seven God-Given Soul Ring, he has no intention of absorbing any God-Given Soul Ring in the short term.

Ye Lingling gave him the extra one as well.

If he really wants to start absorbing, he should wait until he or the Charizard condenses a Third Soul Core and breaks through to the Titled Douluo realm before considering it.

He wanted to see where the limits of this so-called enhanced God-Given Soul Ring lay.

Seven days passed quickly.

On the edge of Sea God Island, Lin Mo and his group returned to the spot where they had landed before.

The waves crashed against the rocks, making a splashing sound.

The sea breeze carries a salty, damp scent.

As everyone looked back at the familiar sights on the island, a sense of loss washed over them.

Three years ago, when they first arrived at Sea God Island, apart from Lin Mo, the two people with the highest cultivation levels among those present Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, were only at the high-level Soul Emperor level.

However, now, after more than three years, even Zhu Zhuqing and Shui Yue'er, who were the weakest among them, have reached the level of seventy-seven.

Huo Wu stood on the shore, gazing in the direction of Sea God Mountain, and muttered softly, "It's been more than three years, I'm really a little reluctant to leave."

Shui Bing'er crossed her arms, a smile playing on her lips, "Haven't you been saying you wanted to go home, Bu Bu?"

Huo Wu shook her head. "That's different..."

Feng Xiaotian took a deep breath, a look of anticipation flashing in his eyes. "Finally, we're going back. I wonder what Grandpa's expression will be when he sees my current cultivation level."

Shui Bing'er said softly, "They'll probably be very surprised."

Zhu Zhuqing stood at the edge of the crowd, gazing at the distant sea, a complex look flashing in her cool eyes.

After much consideration, she finally understood her own heart and decided to stop running away from her destiny.

She is prepared to face it all.

With her current strength, she is qualified to consider these things.

Although her current cultivation level is only 77, her true strength is comparable to most Soul Douluo.

Under such circumstances, even if Star Luo Empire receives news of her resurrection, it won't be so easy for them to take action against her.

Moreover, she is no longer alone.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced subconsciously at her lively companions beside her, her gaze lingering on Lin Mo for a moment before quickly shifting away.

It was as if they dared not look any longer.

When they first arrived at Sea God Island, Lin Mo had the highest cultivation level.

But now, when they left, the one with the highest cultivation level had become Ye Lingling.

The Soul Power reward bestowed by the sixth of the Top Level Eight Trials was truly excessive. Coupled with the addition of two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, it directly propelled her cultivation to the level of Level 94.

However, because she was in a hurry to leave, Ye Lingling only absorbed the Soul Ring this time and did not rush to condense the Soul Core.

With her current resources, condensing a Soul Core is a piece of cake for her; it's not difficult at all.

With the addition of six high-quality Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and the rewards from the Sea God Trial,

As Auxiliary System Soul Master, in terms of physical attributes alone, she has now become the strongest among them besides Lin Mo.

Just then, the sound of splashing water came from the sea.

With its grey-blue dorsal fin cutting through the water, Xiao Bai poked its head out of the sea.

She transformed into human form, leaped onto the beach, and her long, grey-blue hair fluttered in the sea breeze.

"Let's go, I'll see you off." Xiao Bai looked at the crowd and said with a complicated expression.

She and the others became friends after a fight, and now, as their relationship has become more familiar, she has gained a clearer understanding of Lin Mo and the others' strength.

She was well aware that even if Lin Mo didn't intervene, it would still be quite difficult for her to deal with the other seven people.

Compared to the long lifespan of Soul Beast, the growth rate of human Soul Master is still too fast.

Dugu Yan stepped forward and took Xiao Bai's hand. " Sister Xiao Bai, thank you so much for taking care of me these past few days."

Xiao Bai shook his head. "I should be thanking you. Without you, the Evil Spirit Orca pod wouldn't have been so easily wiped out."

Shui Yue'er emerged from beneath the sea, shook her wet hair, and slowly walked up to Lin Mo, mysteriously handing him a Storage Soul Tool.

"I've completed all the tasks. However, since most of Xiao Bai's collection consists of Sea Soul Beast, there aren't many Soul Bone that meet your requirements."

Moreover, the three pieces that Xiao Bai took out last time were already the highest quality pieces in her collection.

Lin Mo took the Storage Soul Tool, probed it with his spiritual power, scanned it, and then put it away.

The task he had previously given Shui Yue'er was to exchange some resources with Xiao Bai, to see if they could get something they needed from Xiao Bai, namely Soul Bone.

As for the items used to exchange for Soul Bone, the bulk of them naturally came from the gifts of the Evil Spirit Orca.

The Whale Rubber of the Evil Spirit Orca.

Xiao Bai was naturally very happy to receive this.

If Lin Mo hadn't had strict requirements regarding the type and attributes of his Soul Bone, she would have loved to replace all the Whale Rubber in Lin Mo's hands.

This item is very beneficial for her and her people to improve their strength.

"That's enough." Lin Mo nodded to Shui Yue'er.

Soon, escorted by Xiao Bai and the others, Lin Mo and his group embarked on their journey home again.

The Charizard hovered high in the sky, its Dual Wingbeat spread, warily watching the surrounding sea.

Lin Mo and his two companions stood on the back of the Xiao Bai, which had already transformed into its original form, while the others each rode a Demon Soul Great White Shark.

A school of grey-blue sharks broke through the waves and sped toward the distant shore.

With Xiao Bai and the others providing transportation, the group's return journey was much faster than when they first arrived.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark is one of the fastest of the Sea Soul Beast, boasting incredible speed and a great riding experience.

Sitting on their backs, you can barely feel any bumps; only the sea breeze whistles past your ears.

Before long, escorted by Xiao Bai and the others, the group arrived at the shore.

Xiao Bai reluctantly led her people back to Sea God Island, turning back every few steps, her grey-blue eyes filled with reluctance.

But before she truly left, she still shouted at the top of her lungs to Lin Mo and the others, "You must complete the test, future Lord Sea God!"

Dugu Yan waved to her. " Sister Xiao Bai, don't worry!"

Xiao Bai let out a low growl, turned around, and leaped into the sea. Its gray-blue figure quickly disappeared beneath the shimmering surface of the water.

The remaining Demon Soul Great White Shark followed closely behind, disappearing into the sea one after another.

Only ripples remained on the sea surface, slowly spreading before finally returning to calm.

After reaching the small grove of trees on the shore, the group stretched lazily, feeling a sense of loss for a moment.

They're back! They're really back!

Feng Xiaotian took a deep breath, feeling the long-lost scent of land, and a smile appeared on his face.

He turned to Lin Mo and asked, "Sect Master, shall we go straight back to Heaven Dou City?" His tone was quite eager.

Hearing this, Lin Mo withdrew his gaze from watching Xiao Bai and the others leave, shook his head, and said, "You guys go back first. I have some personal matters to take care of, so I won't be traveling with you for now."

At this point, Lin Mo lowered his eyes to look at everyone. "With your current strength, you are capable of protecting yourselves. As long as you don't encounter a complete group of Titled Douluo, you will be fine."

Upon hearing this, Huo Wu smiled and said, " Lin Mo, then we'll head back first and wait for your good news within the sect."

Trusting Lin Mo, they did not choose to press for further details.

Feng Xiaotian clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Sect Master, Tailwind."

Shui Bing'er bowed slightly and whispered, "Take care."

Shui Yue'er jumped up, waving her arms. " Lin Mo, come back soon!"

Zhu Zhuqing also waved her arm and said, "Take care on your journey."

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling stood side by side beside Lin Mo. Neither of them spoke, but their eyes were both on him.

In no time, the Charizard descended from the sky and landed beside Lin Mo.

Lin Mo flipped over and leaped onto the back of the Charizard, with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling following closely behind.

With a flap of its Dual Wingbeat, the Charizard's massive body soared into the air, transforming into a streak of crimson light as it sped away into the distance.

The sea breeze whistled past my ears, and the forests and fields below rushed past.

Dugu Yan leaned against Lin Mo's back, her arms wrapped around his waist, feeling the long-lost sense of freedom. Ye Lingling sat behind Lin Mo, her purple eyes gazing at the distant horizon, her expression serene.

Lin Mo gazed into the distance, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

Over the course of more than three years, they experienced so much on Sea God Island.

From the initial Sea God's Light to the later Tidal Body Tempering, and finally the battle with Bo Saixi, they encountered many difficulties along the way, but fortunately they overcame them one by one and ultimately Harvest a lot.

Now, they're finally back.

Dugu Yan pressed her face against Lin Mo's back and whispered, " A-Mo, where are we going?"

Lin Mo didn't turn around, his gaze still fixed on the distance, his voice calm. " Soul Emperor Village."

Dugu Yan was taken aback. " Soul Emperor Village? What kind of place is that?"

Lin Mo was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It's the place where I grew up..."

Neither woman spoke again.

The Charizard continued flying forward, passing through forest after forest and over hill after hill.

Target: Soul Emperor Village.

Having been away for so long, it's time to go back and take a look.
