Douluo: I am ready to leave the Spirit Hall. The system will come.

Chapter 167 A Visit from Poseidon Island

The North Sea was in turmoil due to the succession of sea princesses.

In the West Sea, Poseidon Douluo had been away for a month and had not returned. No news had been received, which caused even more turbulent waves.

Fortunately, Poseidon usually lives in seclusion and few people can meet him on weekdays. The news was strictly sealed by the Seven Saint Pillar Douluo.

Now that the group is leaderless, it is natural for the short ones to pick a taller one, and the Sea Dragon Douluo, the strongest among the seven sacred pillars, has become the one in charge.

After a search, the information about the fierce battle between You Chen and Poseidon at sea that day was naturally not concealed.

With the succession of the Sea Princess and the news from some sea soul beasts that a mysterious soul master had killed three hundred thousand year soul beasts that attacked the mermaid clan's sea area, Sea Dragon Douluo had basically determined the development of the situation...

When Sea Dragon Douluo thought of that horrible possibility, he felt his body tremble slightly.

but……

"I am the guardian of the Seven Sacred Pillars - Sea Dragon! How can I retreat here!? "

A determined light flashed in Sea Dragon Douluo's eyes.

Faith and loyalty once again became his spiritual strength.

If the high priest really met with an accident, he would be the one to support Poseidon Island and keep going!

And before that...

"We must confirm what attitude that strong man has towards us and Poseidon Island... In addition, with such a huge change in the North Sea, if we don't send anyone from Poseidon Island to visit and greet him, everyone will notice something is wrong. I'm afraid that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is about to break through the barrier of Poseidon Island. At times like this, we must show confidence..."

It's not that Sea Dragon Douluo has not thought about praying to the Sea God for an oracle again. However, Bo Saixi had just performed this operation in the Sea God Temple not long ago. It will take a long time for the altar to be filled with the power of faith again. It can't be operated again in a short time.

What's more, Sea Dragon Douluo did not succeed the position of High Priest, so this practice was against the rules.

And for faith, it is necessary to maintain this solemnity and limitation.

You can say that they don't know how to adapt, but the principles, content, and rules of a religious sect cannot be changed suddenly in a short period of time. Instead, they need a long period of time to evolve naturally with the changes in social relations and the process of cultural dissemination.

Otherwise, believers’ recognition of dogma can be easily shaken in the process, and even lead to sectarian splits.

Even if Sea Dragon Douluo wanted to inherit the position of the Great Priest, he couldn't just do it like that. You didn't even look for the missing former Great Priest, and you took over like that. It felt like you were taking advantage of an opportunity, and it was hard to convince others.

In addition, the biggest problem is that... the succession of the high priest is not just a nominal succession, but requires a ceremony to worship the sea god to complete the inheritance of the position.

Such fluctuations could not be hidden from the surrounding sea soul beasts.

In the past, the position of the Great Priest was changed in order to intimidate dangerous soul beasts like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King who refused to submit to the Sea God and the Sea God Island, and to tell them that although the old Great Priests were getting old, new young Great Priests were born who were enough to restrain and intimidate them.

But it's different now.

Bo Saixi is far from old enough to abdicate, and Sea Dragon Douluo is far from strong enough to take on the position of High Priest.

Instead, it will make the sea soul beast realize that something is wrong with Poseidon.

So no matter what, this trip to the North Sea is imperative.

However, Sea Dragon Douluo knew that it was meaningless to talk about resistance in front of such a strong man.

As long as the mysterious strong man wants, even their group of Saint Pillar Douluo can only hide in the Sea God Temple, and even moving in the Sea God Island is life-threatening.

Unless they rely on external forces, otherwise... whether Poseidon Island can continue to survive is a huge problem!

And what power can Poseidon Island borrow?
The first thing Hailong Douluo thought of was the Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect, which were the only two forces on the continent that possessed extreme combat power.

However, we won’t mention the relationship between the former and them. If he knew that Poseidon was missing, it would be good if he didn’t come and take a bite.

And the Haotian Sect? The sect had completely shut itself off, and Tang Chen had already disappeared without a trace.

So in fact, they can't borrow any strength.

"That's just the way it is."

Sea Dragon Douluo gathered the remaining six Saint Pillar Douluos and shared all the intelligence, speculations, and ideas in his hands with great seriousness.

"Are you saying that the Great Priest has been defeated by the mysterious strong man who killed the evil killer whale king? "

The Sea Girl Douluo, who respected and worshipped Bo Saixi, a fellow woman, was furious and slammed the table to refute: "The Great Priest is invincible in the ocean! In this Douluo Continent, except for the great gods, how could anyone defeat her quietly!?"

The other Saint Pillar Douluo did not say anything, but showed similar expressions.

Sea Dragon Douluo's face darkened slightly.

In fact, he had anticipated such a situation.

As the strongest Saint Pillar Douluo, he is the one who can best understand the power of Poseidon.

If he had not personally explored and inferred all the information along the way, he would not have believed it easily.

Sea Spear Douluo, who was firmly ranked second in strength, glanced at Sea Dragon Douluo and said calmly, "Well, although it is indeed unbelievable, Hailong is not a person who would shoot without a purpose. If even this premise cannot be confirmed, then there is no need to continue this meeting."

Sea Star Douluo also echoed in a deep voice: "If Lord Hailong's inference is correct, then now is the moment of life and death for us. Hai Nu, now is not the time for you to get upset."

"Tsk."

Sea Girl Douluo smacked her lips, but seeing that everyone nodded slightly after the two Saint Pillar Douluos spoke, she stopped talking.

Sea Dragon Douluo nodded and said in a deep voice: "According to the information from the sea soul masters and sea soul beasts, the mysterious strong man is very likely to have controlled the mermaids and the North Sea. We must find out the attitude of the mermaids now."

He turned to look at Hai Nu Douluo: "The situation is not clear now. I must go to the North Sea to explore the mermaid clan or the mysterious strong man's current attitude towards our Sea God Island. I need you, who have mermaid blood, to help me contact the mermaid clan."

"I see."

Sea Girl Douluo nodded solemnly.

Although the journey to the North Sea is extremely dangerous, everyone present here is strong and has extremely firm faith and loyalty, and they will not retreat here.

Especially when it comes to the respected great priest, Hai Nu Douluo has a feeling of obligation.

"Sea Dragon."

Sea Spear Douluo said: "This journey is dangerous and unpredictable. We may face a strong man who can defeat the Great Priest. You are the strongest among us, so you should stay at Sea God Island and I will go there."

After saying that, he glanced at the others and said sternly, "No objection, right?"

"I have objections."

Sea Ghost Douluo said coldly: "If that mysterious strong man really makes a move, no matter who goes, the result will be the same. I think it is enough for Sea Girl Douluo to go alone. There is no need for anyone to deal with it or come back to report. As long as she does not come back within the specified time, this fact is enough for us to confirm the situation."

Even the Sea Girl Douluo who was ready to die, when she heard Sea Ghost Douluo's words that he treated her as a tool, she was still so angry that her face turned pale and blue: "Old ghost, what kind of nonsense are you talking about!? I really want you to accompany me!"

"Quiet!"

Sea Dragon Douluo shouted, stopping the argument that was about to break out, and said in a deep voice: "Let me tell you what I think. First of all, it is impossible for the sea girl to go alone on this trip. At this time, every Saint Pillar Douluo is very important and cannot be easily abandoned. One day, if we really need to hide on the Sea God Island, and that mysterious strong man or the Deep Sea Demon Whale King comes, we can only resist by gathering the strength of seven people. You should all understand this."

This statement is true.

After a long period of gathering the thoughts of all living beings around Poseidon Island, a home field effect similar to the sanctuary in Saint Seiya has been formed.

The Seven Holy Pillars and the Great Priest can all obtain certain power blessings around the Seagod Island. The Holy Pillar Douluo relies on the Holy Pillars, while the Great Priest relies on the blessings of the Seagod Island itself and the Seagod Temple.

The blessings received by the Seven Holy Pillars are far less than those of the Great Priest, and they cannot directly call upon the divine power of the Temple of the Sea God like the Great Priest, but on the other hand, they can rely on the holy pillars of the same origin to connect their powers to each other and form a special battle formation.

The seven Holy Pillar Douluos are united by the connection of the Holy Pillar. Although none of them can compare to the great worshiper blessed by the Sea God Island, they can barely rival the ordinary Extreme Douluo.

Of course, this is only the case in frontal combat.

The reason why Sea Dragon Douluo was more afraid of the mysterious strong man was because the Extreme Douluo was more flexible than giant monsters like the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. And from the hiding ability shown by the opponent, it was completely possible not to fight them head-on, but to defeat them one by one.

Therefore, if we consider the issue of hostility with the mysterious powerful man, they actually have basically no means of counterattack except relying on the Sea God.

It makes no difference whether you take this trip or not.

Sea Dragon Douluo continued, "Moreover, we are only visiting the mermaids this time. According to the previous style of that mysterious strong man, he may not show up on his own initiative. But even if that mysterious strong man does not take action, the strength of the mermaids cannot be underestimated. Once there is any fighting or conflict, only I, who is the strongest, can be sure to bring the sea girls back safely."

Finally, it was decided that Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Girl Douluo would form a formal diplomatic team with a group of sea soul masters to visit the North Sea.

……

"That is what has happened, Master. I am very sorry to have disturbed your practice."

You Chen waved his hand to say that it was okay with Liya's apology, and said, "It is indeed not a small matter for the sea soul master from Sea God Island to come and visit. Reporting this situation to me was my original request to you."

"Thank you, Lord." Liya still did not dare to overstep her bounds, and kept her face which had been suppressed to the point of being almost expressionless during this period, and said: "Lord Lord, the spies of the Sea Swordfish Clan have been confirmed, and this time they are led by Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Girl Douluo. With the current strength of the mermaid clan, it is not difficult to defeat them, but if you want to kill them or keep them, the success rate cannot be guaranteed."

You Chen looked at Liya speechlessly. When did the new Sea Princess become so ruthless and decisive?

He shook his head and said, "Liya, what kind of image do you have of me in your mind? Since they came to visit according to the rules of etiquette, if we kill them like this, it will not only fail to serve as a warning to others, but will also cause unrest in those tribes that originally depended on the mermaids."

In fact, with You Chen's personality, he doesn't care whether the vassal tribes of the mermaids are in turmoil.

It is one of the laws of the world for soul beasts to devour each other for cultivation, but soul beasts that tend to be kind and lawful are more inclined to absorb the essence of heaven and earth for cultivation.

The mermaid clan has no need to devour soul beasts. During this period, You Chen's cultivation resources basically came from the hunting shares of the seven vassal clans.

Naturally, there is a certain necessity to maintain the stability of these ethnic groups.

Moreover, during this period of time, in addition to consuming a large amount of the ocean's cultivation resources to refine his body and digesting the experience and insights from Poseidon, You Chen also began to secretly tinker with one thing in this North Sea - spreading faith.

He used the North Sea as a testing ground in order to truly consolidate the faith of the people of Douluo Continent in the future.

However, he was not clear about the specific laws of the divine world, and whether his spreading of faith in the ocean would give Poseidon a reason to take action.

So he did not spread the news widely, but first let some of the sea soul beasts in the Crystal Palace begin to believe in him.

For the time being, You Chen doesn't dare to do most of the things that would plunder the faith of the Sea God.

His current goal is just to try and see if he can sense the existence of the so-called mental power of all living beings.

After many attempts, You Chen has found a good solution - building a statue.

I don’t know if it’s because his current strength is not enough, or for some other reason, he himself is unable to condense the thoughts of all living beings, or if he has already condensed it but cannot directly observe it with his naked eyes or spiritual consciousness.

However, through objects such as statues, one can indeed discover the condensed mental power of all living beings.

The reason why he could confirm that this energy was the mental power of all living beings was naturally because he held pure divine power in his hands and could use it as a reference for comparison.

A drop of pure divine power can be divided into 10081 strands of divine power. One strand is the smallest unit of divine power.

Under Youchen's spiritual observation, the mental power of all living beings condensed on the sculpture over this period of time was probably similar to the feeling given to him by a wisp of divine power.

The pure divine power sent by the system can be used directly by him or distributed to others.

But the mental power of the beings in this sculpture is different, and only he can call upon it.

This means that the thoughts of these sentient beings are directed directly at him.

Although he did not plan to waste the pure divine power for the time being, after discovering that there was already a way to condense the mental power of all living beings, You Chen was no longer so precious about the mental power of all living beings on this sculpture.

However, the mental power of all living beings condensed by these powerful sea soul beasts that are basically more than ten thousand years old is only a few strands.

Of course, there are only a few reasons that can be thought of. Youchen doesn't really care. After all, he can regenerate, so it doesn't matter if it's a little slower.

Only a strand of pure divine power was split and consumed as a comparison, but as for the mental power of all living beings, You Chen had no scruples and used all of it to try.

After trying it a little, he quickly discovered that although the energy properties of the telekinesis of all living beings were similar to a wisp of divine power, there was actually a huge difference.

The most notable difference is...intensity.

It was just a wisp, and You Chen didn't think about realizing the omnipotence of divine power, such as increasing the lifespan of his spirit ring or something like that.

What he mainly tried was to use divine power and the mental power of all living beings to replace or amplify the effect of soul power, and this resulted in an obvious difference.

What followed was the situation of simply using the mental power of all living beings to perform soul skills, or as a resource for cultivation, to improve soul power and physical fitness.

After completing these experiments, You Chen's curiosity was satisfied. He temporarily put aside the research on divine power and focused only on collecting the mental power of all living beings.

He was very curious about the situation where there were multiple statues. For example, would the telekinesis of all living beings converge? Or would the range of his direct dispatch of the telekinesis of all living beings be expanded?

For the time being, he just wanted to take good care of the three acres of land and did not want to attract unnecessary attention from the Sea God, so he could develop it peacefully for a while.

After all, the angel god who collects the faith of the continent is not still alive like the god of the sea. He can plunder the power of faith originally occupied by the Spirit Hall without any scruples, and even achieve a more exaggerated radiation range than the angel god of the past.

So what he said to Liya was his true thoughts.

It would be fine if Poseidon took the initiative to deal with him, but he had no intention of taking the initiative to attack Poseidon Island now.

"So the master has such deep considerations?"

When Liya heard You Chen's words, her eyes lit up and she nodded, "If that's the case, how do I deal with them? Should I show a tough attitude, or pretend to be as soft-hearted as I did in the past?"

You Chen smiled, walked towards the door of the retreat room, and said, "Since my practice has been interrupted, I might as well come out and take a walk. Liya, this time, I will personally entertain these two distinguished guests."

As he said this, a hint of hidden malice flashed in You Chen's eyes.

……

"Master Hailong, things may not be as you think?"

Having already stepped into the sea area controlled by the mermaids, Hai Nu Douluo smiled and said, "Look, didn't the mermaids welcome us very generously? They even specially chose the island as the venue for the meeting, instead of the underwater palace that they are more comfortable with. It doesn't look so solemn and formal, but I, who have mermaid blood, know that this is actually a reflection of their willingness to consider us!"

"Is this really the case?" Sea Dragon Douluo had a bad feeling.

The Sea Girl Douluo had a helpless expression on her face and said, "Alas, you are just exaggerating. I was saying, how could the Great Priest be defeated at sea? In my opinion, maybe it was just because the enemy did have two hands, so he was injured and temporarily stayed here with the mermaids to recuperate! The reason why the mermaids entertained us so warmly might be because the Great Priest had already arrived! Look, isn't everything rounded off?"

While the two were talking, they had already stepped onto the agreed island.

Led by a team of mermaid guards, headed by two Saint Pillar Douluo and followed by a group of Sea God Island soul masters, they officially arrived at the meeting place, an open-air courtyard in a huge manor that had been built in advance.

This island is not far from the Crystal Palace. Naturally, this island is where You Chen lives and practices on a daily basis.

The size of this open-air courtyard is comparable to the floor area of ​​an ordinary mansion. In a deep pond as huge as a lake, several beautiful mermaids are swimming happily, showing off their graceful underwater dance moves.

A few meters away from the pool, a mermaid wearing a golden crown and with scales more beautiful and delicate than those in the pond was standing silently with her back to them in a posture similar to that of a snake girl.

Sea Lady Douluo glanced quietly at the mermaid in the pond, who was performing like a dancer.

Hai Nu Douluo has half mermaid blood in her body. She was not very happy to see these mermaids posing in the water like actors on the stage.

Even felt a little offended.

Even if they are welcoming guests from Poseidon Island, there is no reason to perform such a show at the expense of the dignity of their own people, right?

She really wanted to ask the new queen how she could be a sea princess, and if she couldn't do it, she should find someone else to take the throne.

However, considering the purpose of this trip and the hidden dangers, Sea Girl Douluo did not get angry and silently glanced at Sea Dragon Douluo.

Although Sea Dragon Douluo could not empathize with the hidden meaning of the mermaid dance as well as Sea Girl Douluo, he also felt that it was a bit strange that the Sea Princess let her own people pose here.

But compared to all these, what he cared more about was the matter of the mysterious strong man. Seeing that it was the Sea Princess who showed up here, he felt relieved.

As the leader of this trip, of course, Sea Lady Douluo couldn't speak. He gave Sea Lady Douluo an affirmative look, stepped forward, and said solemnly: "Your Highness, Sea Princess, every time the Sea Princess's position rotates, Sea God Island will reconfirm the agreement with the Sea Princess and the mermaid clan. We are here for this reason."

rustle.

The fish's tail squirmed on the soft, moist grass, and its scales rubbed against the tender green grass, making a soft sound.

Liya turned around, revealing her stunning appearance that seemed to prove her identity as a sea princess.

There was no sign of fluctuation on that calm face that seemed to be indifferent to all emotions, but instead it displayed the majesty of a queen.

"The agreement between the mermaids and Poseidon Island has been destroyed from now on."

She spoke in a calm tone, words that shocked everyone on Poseidon Island.

"This……"

Although Sea Dragon Douluo was surprised, he managed to calm down. He used his eyes to comfort Sea Girl Douluo, who was already unable to control her irritability, and asked in a deep voice, "If this is what Her Royal Highness the Sea Princess meant, although it's a pity, we can only accept it. But before that, can I ask what the reason is?"

Ring ring ring~
Liya did not answer, but remained silent. Suddenly, the sound of a clear bell came from the direction of the corridor connecting the courtyard to the manor house.

The group from Poseidon Island came in in a mighty stream from the side door that directly connected the island to the courtyard, and did not pass through the main gate of the manor. The owner of the voice was clearly coming from inside the manor.

Sea Dragon Douluo frowned and looked over at the first moment, wanting to see which ignorant person from the mermaid clan suddenly barged in and interrupted such an important meeting between the two forces. Perhaps he could use this to question the Sea Princess and gain some room for mediation.

Then... Sea Dragon Douluo's body began to tremble, cold sweat broke out uncontrollably, and his anger boiled uncontrollably.

　After yesterday's experience, I always feel that the next chapter will also be shot... My driving skills are really bad. I am thinking whether to disrupt the order of some words. After all, as we all know, the order of words does not affect reading.
