We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 343 [The Profound Saint Son] [The Radiant Divine Envoy]

This is a long story.

In fact, the entire process, from the emergence of the white tentacles to the destruction of the one-eyed fleshy ball, took no more than ten minutes.

At this moment, looking at this stunningly beautiful greatsword that cleaved across the icy plains...

Everyone held their breath involuntarily, their hearts pounding.

Before witnessing it with their own eyes, they might not have believed that this was something a secret guide could do.

Although most people have long heard of how powerful legendary figures are, and there is a saying that "those who are not legendary are just ants."

However, the impact of hearsay and firsthand witnessing are completely different.

At this time, people realized—

So this is the true power of a legendary expert!

It turns out that one person's power can reach such a level!
This is the true strength of the secret cultivators who stand at the pinnacle of this world!

Envy, awe,感慨, longing... such complex emotions inevitably arise in people's hearts.

Even Xia En sighed softly to himself, "There are always people better than you, and mountains beyond mountains."

"It seems I still have a long way to go..."

In mid-air, Mr. Heller couldn't help but purse his lips and mutter, "This old man is quite the attention-seeker."

"No wonder Professor Hui is so good at putting on a show."

Heller actually played a significant role in the battle just now.

Without his restraint and weakening of the [filthy creature] hidden beneath the ice plains, Musa wouldn't have been able to kill it instantly.

This is the relationship between support and output.

If any one of them were missing, they wouldn't have been able to destroy the monster so easily.

In fact, this is one of the reasons why this strange combination exists.

As the dazzling lightsaber gradually dissipated into specks of light, Musa approached Heller and said calmly, "Pleasure doing business with you."

Heller snorted, but did not refute, instead saying something else.

"Shouldn't it be about time to head to the next marked location?"

“One or two of these monsters are fine, but if they really come together as the ‘prophet’ said, forming a wave, the situation will be much more troublesome.”

Musa nodded: "You're right."

"but……"

Musa turned to look at the Black Swan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

“I sensed a familiar presence on that ship, and I’d like to pay it a visit.”

The legendary experts possessed extremely keen senses, so the two of them immediately spotted the Black Swan and other ships not far away upon arriving at this icy plain.

However, they usually don't actually come into contact with these passing ships.

Upon hearing this, Heller raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"I'm actually quite curious about who this person is, since they seem to care so much about you."

"……what?"

Suddenly, Heller let out a soft "hmm," and his expression turned somewhat serious.

"What is this aura?"

He looked at Musa with suspicion and muttered to himself, "Could it be that we're looking for the same person?"

"No, no, no... that's impossible no matter how you look at it."

Then, without waiting for Musa's reaction, Heller took a step forward.

His entire body appeared as a moving shadow.

It only took a few breaths.

He then appeared above the Black Swan.

"What do you mean?"

Musa quickly discerned something strange in Heller's words, and not to be outdone, he too transformed into a streak of light, instantly closing in on the Black Swan.

Their actions immediately drew gasps of surprise from the people on several ships.

"W-what's going on?"

"Those two legendary powerhouses are coming for us? And they seem to be in a real hurry..."

What are they trying to do?

Upon seeing the two figures, one in black and one in white, rapidly approaching, people's breathing quickened.

They felt an intense sense of oppression even when they were watching from afar.

Then I witnessed a secret technique that seemed capable of destroying the world.

At this moment, they were about to get up close and personal with the two legends.

Not to mention the ordinary crew members, even Daisy and her brother, Lewis and others were having trouble maintaining their composure and appeared somewhat nervous.

What puzzled and intrigued everyone even more was...

What exactly do these two legends want to do aboard the Black Swan?
The answer to this question is probably known only to Musa, Heller, and Shane.

Soon, Heller was the first to land on the deck of the Black Swan.

Looking at Xia En not far away, he spoke gently.

"Captain Shane, it really is you."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

When he said this, Heller was gentle and polite, just like a true gentleman.

This is quite different from his previous attitude towards Musa.

Aside from his somewhat mysterious demeanor and peculiar appearance, he looked no different from an ordinary nobleman.

Seeing his attitude and hearing his words, the people nearby who were watching Heller couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

Is this legendary expert an old acquaintance of Captain Xia En?

He came for Captain Shane?!

Moreover, everyone noticed that Heller treated Shane with great equality, and even with a hint of respect.
It's important to understand that there's a huge difference in strength between legendary experts and ordinary secret cultivators.

The former's attitude towards the latter inevitably carries a hint of arrogance and indifference.

Even if legendary experts themselves are unaware of it, it will always show up in some unintentional way.

This is similar to how extraordinary individuals are to ordinary people.

Although both are human beings, the difference between them may be greater than that between different species.

Generally speaking, a legend will only speak to another legend on an equal footing.

If Shane and Heller were old acquaintances, this attitude of equality would be understandable, but where does this respect come from?
Everyone was puzzled.

Shane had no obligation to explain to people, he said, looking at Heller.

"Are you... the Heller I know?"

"Excuse my bluntness, but the differences between you two seem a bit too great."

Heller said with a smile, "As expected of Captain Shane, you have a good eye!"

"Actually, the one you met before was just an avatar of mine."

As he spoke, a deep, dark tendril emerged from the hem of his clothes.

In the blink of an eye, the tentacle wriggled and transformed into an entity that looked exactly like Heller.

He wore the same smile as Heller, watching Shane.

However, his aura was much weaker than Heller's.

The two spoke together, saying, "Although they are clones, we share memories. So no matter which Heller it is, it is actually me, only with some differences in personality and strength."

The scene looked rather horrifying, but Xia En remained unfazed, a realization dawning on him.

Given the vastness of the seven seas, each sect must have its own methods for achieving rapid information transmission.

The Radiant Land of the Radiant Church is one method.

Having multiple "Mr. Heller" clones is also a method.

His clones are probably like countless tentacles, scattered throughout the Seven Seas, bringing together the many followers of the [Deep Abyss Sect] in this bizarre way.

Just imagining that scenario sent a chill down Xia En's spine.

As expected of a legendary powerhouse!
As expected of the [Deepest Cult], which has continued for thousands of years!
Ancient esoteric Buddhism like this clearly has its own profound foundation.

Suppressing his distracting thoughts, Xia En said, "In any case, thank you for your help last time."

Heller smiled and said, "Captain Shane, you flatter me. It's what I should do."

"And I was right about him."

"How long has it been? Captain Shane's strength has already improved by leaps and bounds to this extent..."

Putting aside the praise, Heller was indeed quite surprised.

The last time my clone met Xia En, he was only a third-tier Mystic.

Not to mention his true form, even his clones are far stronger than Xia En.

But now, in less than a year, Xia En has entered the realm of a fifth-order Mystic.

Moreover, in Heller's view, his aura was even stronger than that of an ordinary sixth-tier secret cultivator.

This speed of promotion can only be described as exaggerated!
Heller was once hailed as a genius among geniuses, but compared to Shane's breakthrough speed, he could only be considered slow.

He exclaimed, "Indeed... he truly deserves to be the prophesied holy son."

Upon hearing this, Xia En's expression immediately became somewhat strange.

"Hmm? The prophesied holy son?"

Why does this title sound so familiar to him?
The Moon Wanderer on Sand Island used to call themselves that as well.

Furthermore, the Moonlit Clan adheres to the Radiant Cult, while Heller is a key figure in the Deep Cult.

Why do both sects consider themselves the Holy Son?
Who left this prophecy?

Xia En couldn't help but mutter a few complaints in his mind.

Just as he was about to ask Heller about the prophecy, the stream of light enveloping Musa arrived at the Black Swan.

Musa took a step forward, stepping out of the light, his wise eyes sweeping over the people on the ship, as if searching for something.

Soon, his gaze settled on Shane.

After hesitating for a moment, Musa asked.

"You are [Blacklight]?"

Upon hearing this, Xia En's heart skipped a beat.

He wasn't too surprised to be recognized by Heller, since Shane had previously felt that Heller must have some deeper reason for helping him.

But when facing this white-robed archbishop, and having his identity as "Blacklight" exposed in a single sentence, Shane felt inexplicably flustered.

After all, he wasn't a legitimate follower of the Radiant Cult; he only obtained the [Radiant Crystal Mirror] by chance.

Furthermore, Shane even falsely conveyed a "divine oracle" to Musa, which became the trigger for the war between the three major esoteric sects.

So, Musa suddenly came to their door, and they confronted each other on the spot.

Xia En inevitably felt like she was being "unboxed offline".

Fortunately, having been through so much, Xia En had long since developed a calm and fearless mindset in the face of danger.

Although he was a little flustered inside, he didn't show it on his face at all. Instead, he remained calm and composed, saying...

"Yes, it's me."

"really……"

Musa nodded: "Your soul light is very special; once you've seen it, you'll never forget it."

"I came over because I sensed your radiance."

"I never imagined you were so young in real life..."

These words caused another small commotion among the crew members on the other ships.

"Not only that black-haired man from before, but even this legend, are they here for Captain Shane?"

"Wait... I think I vaguely remember him..."

One of them actually recognized Musa's identity and exclaimed, "He, he is the archbishop of that old sect!"

"Hiss! The Archbishop..."

Most people don't know much about the Hui Church, but they have often visited the Deep Sea Church, so they are quite clear about the value of the position of "archbishop".

Musa's feat of cleaving the ice field in two with a single sword strike also indirectly corroborates this claim.

On the deck of the Black Swan, Jane's eyes flickered, and she murmured to herself.

“The Deep Sect, the Radiant Sect, and the previous Truth Society…”

"Captain Shane, just how many secret cults are you involved with?"

at the same time.

Heller frowned slightly: "[Black Light]?"

His gaze darted suspiciously between Musa and Shane as he asked.

"You... know each other?"

"Ok?"

Musa vaguely sensed that something was amiss, but as the Archbishop of the Church of Radiance, he remained calm and spoke.

"That's right. Let me introduce you. This is our Radiant Envoy, codenamed Blacklight."

"what?"

Heller was stunned, utterly puzzled.

You old man, why are you even stealing people?
Xia En is clearly the holy son of their [Deepest Sect], so how did he become the messenger of the Radiant Sect?
However, Heller didn't blurt it out on a whim.

He looked at Xia En, and after thinking hard, he came to a conclusion.

Xia En did not truly convert to the Radiant Cult. The reason he was regarded as a divine messenger must be because of the characteristics he possessed that were related to the gods.

Perhaps he intends to infiltrate the Hui Cult and gather their core intelligence!

If he were to expose the Holy Son's identity, it would ruin Xia En's original plan.

With this in mind, Heller's thoughts instantly became clear.

He said, half complaining and half joking, "Old man, I never expected we would have such a connection. This Captain Xia En is actually an old friend of mine."

“I was just about to develop him into the [Deep Cult], but I didn’t expect you to beat me to it.”

"Um!?"

Upon hearing this, Musa immediately became alert and said to Shane.

"Lord Blacklight, you'd better stay away from this guy. They worship the Deep Lord who sleeps in the deep sea and are trying to awaken him."

You absolutely mustn't go astray!

Xia En's lips twitched slightly.

He noticed Heller's winking expression, as if to say, "Captain Shane, how's my acting?"

However, since Xia En did not genuinely believe in any deity, he did not want to continue on this topic, so he changed the subject and asked...

"Speaking of which, why are you two here?"
