Since the end of the Spirit Master Competition, Qian Renxue's spirit power has increased tremendously, and she has quickly completed the fourth and fifth Angel trials.
Having just begun the sixth Angel trial, the two of them were getting closer to becoming a Divinity.
At this moment, Qian Renxue's spirit power had reached level 89!
Her sixth Angel trial required her to endure for the duration of an incense stick (30 minutes) against Qian Daoliu, who could only use his sixth Spirit Ability.
This trial did not require staying in the Hall of Offerings or spending a lot of time on the assessment.
Therefore, Qian Daoliu had time to accompany Lin Yu to the sea to hunt the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Lin Yu immediately told Qian Daoliu and the others about his intention to hunt the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
"Deep Sea Demon Whale King?" A wave of memories instantly flooded Qian Daoliu's mind.
That was a very, very long time ago.
Back then, Qian Daoliu and the Clear Sky Sect's ancestor, Tang Chen, had traveled to Sea God Island together in their youth.
The events and people from that time flashed through Qian Daoliu's mind, and among those memories was one about the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Although he had never personally seen the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, the overlord of the deep sea, he had heard from the Sea God Island High Priest, Bo Saixi, that the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a Sea Spirit Beast with cultivation infinitely close to a million years, and its strength was extremely formidable.
Qian Daoliu said with some apprehension, "Xiao Yu, that Deep Sea Demon Whale King's cultivation is infinitely close to a million years. Are you sure you can absorb a spirit ring of that level now?"
"Teacher, this might be a bit risky, but I want to try!"
Lin Yu's eyes were firm.
For his subsequent eighth and ninth spirit rings, he had to acquire spirit rings of this level; otherwise, it would be very difficult for him to achieve his ultimate goal of Seven Gods Fusion.
"Alright, since you've decided, we will accompany you on this journey and help you hunt the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
Qian Daoliu nodded and immediately arranged, "Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, Lion, the three of you stay and guard Spirit City. Several of our Seven Great Enshrinements must remain to guard against Bibi Dong."
"Second Enshrinement, Qingluan, Light翎, the three of you will accompany us to the sea."
"Yes! High Priest!"
"Grandpa! Lin Yu, I'll go with you too." Qian Renxue also volunteered to join.
"Alright."
The team was officially set: Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, Gold Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, and Light Feather Douluo, six people in total.
Qian Daoliu and Gold Crocodile Douluo were level 99 in combat power, Azure Luan Douluo was level 98, and Light Feather Douluo was level 97.
Lin Yu's current combat power was equivalent to peak level 97, and Qian Renxue's combat power was equivalent to level 95.
And Qian Daoliu, as a High Priest of a Divinity, could borrow a portion of the Angel God's divine force to temporarily reach a demigod level of combat power.
However, there was a regional limitation, meaning Qian Daoliu could only borrow a portion of the Angel God's divine force within the vicinity of Spirit City to elevate his combat power to that of a demigod expert.
Once he went to the sea, Qian Daoliu would not be able to borrow the Angel God's divine force.
In other words, Qian Daoliu would not possess demigod combat power in the sea, and his strength would be inferior to that of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Therefore, in the sea, in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's home territory, it would not be easy for a team of experts like Lin Yu's to defeat the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
This would undoubtedly be a major battle.
"I hope we don't encounter old acquaintances on this trip," Qian Daoliu sighed.
"Old acquaintances? Who, Grandpa?" Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu with curiosity.
Qian Daoliu smiled and did not explain.
However, Lin Yu knew who Qian Daoliu's old acquaintance was: the Sea God Island High Priest, Bo Saixi.
But since Qian Daoliu didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't bring up these matters either.
So, everyone agreed to depart for the West Sea the next day.
But before departing, Lin Yu found Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Sui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Fire Wushuang, Gu Yuena, and others.
Lin Yu planned to take them to Sea God Island for training, but whether he would actually take them depended on whether they had the qualification, and he would verify this qualification soon.
"Hall Master Lin Yu, long time no see. Why did you suddenly summon us today?" Sui Bing'er asked.
Although these people had joined the Hall of Offerings, it was truly difficult for them to meet Lin Yu; it had been several months since they last saw him.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries with everyone, Lin Yu went straight to the point: "Have you heard of Sea God Island?"
"Sea God Island?"
Everyone looked at each other, clearly having never heard of this place.
Only Gu Yuena knew about this place; she voluntarily stood up and explained, "Sea God Island is a massive island from the west of Douluo Continent, located in the distant West Sea region."
"It is said to be the inheritance place of a Divinity, and also a place where danger and opportunity coexist."
"For land Spirit Masters, traveling to Sea God Island is very dangerous, but if one can obtain opportunities on Sea God Island and return alive, their strength will undoubtedly greatly improve."
"The inheritance place of a Divinity! There's actually such a place!?"
Sui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and the others were astonished upon hearing this. Huo Wu couldn't help but ask, "How dangerous is it to go to Sea God Island?"
Gu Yuena said seriously, "It can be said to be a near-certain death."
"Hiss! That dangerous…"
Everyone gasped.
Gu Yuena was right; going to Sea God Island was basically a nine-out-of-ten chance of death. Even low-level Titled Douluo experts might not be able to return 100% alive.
For land Spirit Masters, the sea was an unknown, mysterious, and dangerous place.
Because in the sea, land Spirit Masters' combat power would first be affected and restricted. Secondly, Sea Spirit Beasts, due to their home field advantage in the sea, were much more difficult to deal with than land Spirit Beasts of the same cultivation level for land Spirit Masters.
And in the vast ocean, there were countless Sea Spirit Beasts. Ten-thousand-year-level Spirit Beasts were innumerable, and it was extremely easy to encounter large groups of sea creatures.
Furthermore, there were many hundred-thousand-year Sea Spirit Beasts that had not been discovered, besides the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, Devil Spirit Great White Shark, Evil Spirit Orca King, and so on.
In the sea, one would also encounter various dangerous natural disasters, such as storms, tsunamis, and many other natural hazards in various sea regions.
Therefore, for land Spirit Masters who could not breathe underwater, the sea was actually very dangerous.
If one wanted to go to Sea God Island, they would also have to pass through a sea region inhabited by a very powerful sea clan in the sea to reach Sea God Island.
And this sea clan was one of the three major sea clans in the West Sea, the Devil Spirit Great White Shark clan!
They resided around Sea God Island, and their clan leader, the Devil Spirit Great White Shark King Xiao Bai, was a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
So, without some skill, land Spirit Masters truly couldn't get to the island.
Lin Yu nodded, then continued after Gu Yuena, "That's right, for land Spirit Masters to go to Sea God Island, it's almost a nine-out-of-ten chance of death."
