"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, let's comprehend it together." Tang Shan secretly squeezed Gu Yue's soft little hand from behind and transmitted his voice to Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Golden Crocodile Douluo breathed a sigh of relief, and his spiritual power followed behind Di Tian, surging into the spatial passage to sense the changes in spatial power.
Gu Yue's lips curled up, and she deliberately tickled Tang Shan's palm with her little finger, a gesture full of provocation.
Zhu Zhuyun and the other girls, along with the other titled individuals, naturally didn't notice the two's underhanded actions, nor did they notice the mental energy of Golden Crocodile Douluo and Di Tian immersing themselves in the spatial passage to study spatial power. However, such strong mental fluctuations, coupled with the calm and collected Gu Yue, undoubtedly reminded them that this silver-haired girl was by no means simple.
Ghost Douluo and Yue Guan thought about it a step further. They were the ones who personally witnessed Tangshan split the Pope with an axe. Of course, they would not forget the terrifying silver dragon that tore through space and suppressed the entire city with a single roar. Looking at Gu Yue's long hair, which was like a silver river, a terrifying answer emerged in their minds.
Gu Yue was not in a hurry to penetrate the spatial passage. As she continued to open it up, she spread out the map in her hand and locked onto a city near the sea.
Boom!
The silver spatial tunnel rushed straight towards the target, without any brutality or violence, only exquisite micro-management.
The passage was formed, and the scene on the other side came into view. Di Tian took the lead and stepped in. He swept his vast spiritual power across the passage and quickly returned, shaking his head at Gu Yue.
Gu Yue withdrew some of her spatial power, allowing the unconnected spatial passage to open in another direction. Then, the scene opposite her came into view again.
The Golden Crocodile Douluo was indescribably shocked. He could only understand a small part of Gu Yue's actions, and there were still many mysteries he had not yet comprehended: Wait, can this spatial passage shrink back? Is this reasonable?
Trees, rocks, cliffs, high altitude...
Under the trembling gazes of everyone, Gu Yue displayed extraordinary spatial control, opening up spatial passages while comparing the map in her hand, without expending any excessive energy throughout.
Finally, after opening up space for what seemed like the umpteenth time, Di Tian saw a tall and majestic city wall in the distance. He stepped inside, scanned it with his spiritual power, and brought back good news: this was their destination.
Without further ado, the crowd entered one by one. Only when they reached the city gate did they realize that what they were seeing was real.
Ice Sea City is a coastal city of the Heaven Dou Empire. It is the closest city to the Sun Moon Continent and is where they will rest for the day.
Upon entering the city, ignoring the bustling city for the time being, I found a luxurious inn and paid for my stay with gold soul coins.
Back in his room, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan couldn't help but smile bitterly. He looked up at his old friend opposite him and asked, "Old Ghost, do you think Gu Yue is her?"
The ghostly figure, like a shadow, remained silent for a moment before giving a vague answer: "I'm not sure. Logically speaking, the gap between Title Douluos shouldn't be this big, but with the keen perception of my Martial Soul, I vaguely sensed during the process of opening up the space that the spiritual power emanating from the Second Elder and that mysterious middle-aged man surged into the spatial passage."
Yue Guan was somewhat surprised: "You mean those two were guiding her to open a spatial passage? But that doesn't make sense. It's better to give guidance one-on-one."
A ghostly, hoarse voice echoed eerily: "Tell me, is it possible that things are reversed? It's the two of them who are learning, and what they're teaching..."
The ghost didn't finish its sentence, but thanks to their years of tacit understanding, Yue Guan understood the ghost's unspoken meaning, and all that remained on his face was a bitter smile.
On one side, Yue Guan looked helpless, while on the other side, Salas and Hu Yanzhen were plunged into deep self-doubt.
Their relationship wasn't as close as Yue Guan's with Gui Mei's, so they naturally chose to book separate rooms. Given their strength and status, they could easily book an entire hotel for years, let alone just one room.
Even though they were in different rooms, their thoughts were surprisingly similar: Wait, is there really such a big difference between Title Douluos? Directly opening a spatial passage? Is this something a newly promoted Title Douluo could do?
Tang Shan, Gu Yue, and Dugu Yan shared a room. To be honest, Zhu Zhuyun wanted to join, but she had a little tagalong following her, which was hard to get rid of.
"Zhuqing, why don't you rest first? I'll go for a walk outside." Inside the room, Zhu Zhuyun said softly, looking at Zhu Zhuqing, whose face was aloof but whose appearance was strikingly similar to her own.
Zhu Zhuqing blinked her bright black eyes and said meaningfully, "Sister, why don't we go for a walk together? Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back if you go out."
P.S.: I'm completely drained, but I'll keep posting. 6000 words tomorrow.
Sorry, leave request
Sorry, cough cough, my mind is blank. I'll rest for a day and will definitely update tomorrow. Of course, if I feel better, I might update in the evening, but please don't wait up for me today, my condition is unpredictable.
Chapter 539 Ice Sea and Vast Ocean
The sky was filled with starlight, casting a thin layer of starlight over the entire Ice Sea City. The city gradually fell silent, with only a few lights flickering in the deep night.
The hotel was neither too tall nor too short, yet it offered a panoramic view of most of Ice Sea City. Golden Crocodile Douluo stood with his hands behind his back, calm and composed.
Space was silently torn apart, and a burly figure emerged from it. His long, black hair that reached his waist and his pale golden eyes clearly revealed his identity—it was Di Tian, the Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King.
"You've arrived?" Golden Crocodile Douluo slowly turned around, meeting Di Tian's golden eyes. "Which god do you worship? I wonder if I know?"
Di Tiankuan gently stroked the black robe in his hand, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head slightly: "I cannot tell you now. You will know when the time is right."
However, you don't need to worry. We will never participate in the power struggles between the major forces on the continent. Whether the continent ends up with an empire or a Spirit Hall, it's none of our business.
"Good." Golden Crocodile Douluo breathed a sigh of relief. This was also the reason why he secretly contacted Di Tian today. The significance of Limit Douluo is really different. If the other party really wants to interfere in the process of the Spirit Hall or the Heaven Dou Empire unifying the continent, basically no one can stop him.
Feeling the tremor in his body, the Golden Crocodile Douluo, having finished his official business, had a fervent glint in his eyes. He looked up at Di Tian, who seemed to be one with the darkness, and bowed slightly, asking, "Would you and I have a simple spar?"
How long has it been? I really don't know how long. Golden Crocodile Douluo has actually felt a deadly sense of crisis from someone else again. You know, even when he was level 98, he didn't feel it from Qian Daoliu. Now that he is Limit Douluo, someone can bring him a deadly crisis. It's unbelievable.
A crisis can also be an opportunity. Since the other party can bring a deadly sense of crisis, it means that his current cultivation is far from reaching its true end. How could this not make Golden Crocodile Douluo happy?
Di Tian didn't speak, but gave the answer through his actions—his palm traversed space, and when it appeared in front of Golden Crocodile Douluo, it had transformed into a pitch-black dragon claw covered with dense black scales.
With a step back, the Golden Crocodile Douluo used the spatial power brought by his soul core to retreat directly to a height of several thousand meters in the sky. Di Tian followed closely behind, taking a step and arriving in front of the Golden Crocodile Douluo.
……
With even breathing around him, Tang Shan held Dugu Yan's waist with his left arm, while his mental energy pierced through numerous obstacles, silently watching the battle taking place thousands of meters in the sky.
Gu Yue nestled in Tang Shan's arms, her spiritual power also radiating out as she observed the battle above while explaining the mysteries of the fight between the two Limit Douluos to Tang Shan.
"The battle of a Limit Douluo is actually the integration of their own system. Whether it is a soul beast or a soul master, apart from the rule-based soul skills, the other soul skills are basically useless to them. As for the so-called spatial power, it is only a choice out of necessity. After all, their own path has already been chosen. If they rashly increase their spatial attributes, it will have some impact on their future cultivation."
Tang Shan pondered, "This is also why you didn't let me absorb spatial power before condensing the soul core. Speaking of which, isn't Di Tian the child of the Dark and Light Dragon Kings? Why did he end up condensing a spatial attribute soul core?"
"The main problem is that the energies of light and darkness are too easily in conflict. At the time, I was seriously injured and in a deep sleep, so he had no choice but to condense a spatial soul core." Gu Yue's expression became somewhat unnatural as she spoke, and she once again involuntarily thought of the Dragon God's abstract behavior.
Having confirmed that the sparring between Golden Crocodile Douluo and Di Tian hadn't gone too far, Tang Shan and Gu Yue decided to stop paying attention and prepare to rest.
……
The next morning, just as the entire city of Icesea was awakening, two figures left the inn and strolled through the streets and alleys.
They prepared to set off at noon. Gu Yue, afraid of missing out on the delicious food in Binghai City, dragged Tang Shan out of bed early to start their "food hunt."
Although Icesea City is near the sea, the sun is not scorching, and the residents have skin between fair and wheat-colored, full of healthy vitality.
A soft halo of light fell, warming them. Gu Yue and Tang Shan, after many twists and turns, found a fragrant long street under the guidance of a kind person.
The street is only a hundred feet long from beginning to end. The shops on both sides are all open for business. The sounds of chopping meat, washing vegetables, and shouting blend into a delicious symphony, perfectly conquering people's senses.
Gu Yue unconsciously licked the corner of his lips, his eyes shining, eager to make a move.
Tang Shan, smelling the enticing aroma, felt his stomach rumble and readily led Gu Yue inside.
After entering the street, the two tacitly separated, with one of them targeting each shop on the side and sweeping them up one by one. Tang Shan squandered his gold soul coins, and the bags in his hands quickly increased.
Soon, they reached the end of the street, where Gu Yue and Tang Shan reunited. They found a table in front of a shop and put down the various takeout boxes they were carrying.
Located near the sea, Binghai City boasts the most abundant seafood delicacies, ranging from seafood noodles and seafood fried rice to various steamed, stir-fried, and deep-fried seafood, as well as seafood products such as fish balls and shrimp paste, offering a wide variety of options.
With seafood noodles as the main dish and other stir-fried dishes as side dishes, a seafood feast was easily laid out in front of the two of them.
The broth is flavorful yet not greasy, perfectly preserving the natural taste of the seafood. The noodles are chewy and springy, and when paired with fish balls and shrimp paste, it's absolutely delicious.
After the meal, the two hesitated for a moment, but still brought breakfast for everyone in the hotel. Regardless of whether they had eaten yet, bringing an extra portion was definitely a good idea. If all else failed, they could just eat it all at the end.
……
Hanhai City
The Shrek Five Monsters gathered at the city gate, paid their gold soul coins, and entered the city. Tang San looked around, his brows furrowed with endless disappointment and regret.
Dai Mubai glanced at Tang San, who seemed a little lost in thought, and naturally understood what the other was thinking at this moment. The Shrek Seven Devils, who were originally doing well, were now missing two people. Yu Tianheng was nowhere to be found, and Xiao Wu had chosen to sacrifice herself, leaving only the five of them to go to the unknown Seagod Island.
"Tang San, cheer up! Since he's the Sea God, reviving someone shouldn't be a big problem. Even if it's just for Xiao Wu, you have to pull yourself together," Dai Mubai said in a deep voice, patting Tang San's shoulder.
Tang San's lips moved slightly, but he ultimately said nothing. He had never felt so deeply how important Xiao Wu was to him.
I have never been afraid of the darkness, if I have never seen the light. Although I could not meet Xiao Wu before, she was always there. Now she is gone forever. How can I not feel regret?
And Yu Tianheng's words before Xiao Wu's sacrifice kept echoing in Tang San's mind, making him feel vaguely uneasy: What does it mean to give your soul to me and give your body to Tianheng after the sacrifice?
call!
Letting out a long breath, Tang San forced himself to calm down, patting his cheeks with both hands to regain a bit of composure—just as Dai Mubai said, since he was a god, he should be omnipotent, and resurrecting a person was definitely not difficult.
P.S.: There's one more chapter, but it'll be later.
Chapter 540 Going to Sea
When Tang Shan and Gu Yue returned to the hotel, most people had just woken up. Only Di Tian and Golden Crocodile Douluo were in good spirits. If Tang Shan hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the two had fought fiercely a thousand feet in the sky.
"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, Senior Emperor Tian, we brought some breakfast." Tang Shan greeted them and gestured with the bag in his hand.
Di Tian glanced at Gu Yue without showing any emotion, and seeing her nod almost imperceptibly, he said calmly, "Then thank you very much."
Seeing that Di Tian agreed so readily, Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't stand on ceremony with Tang Shan: "Perfect timing, I'm a little hungry too."
One was an incarnation of a ferocious beast, and the other was a master whose martial soul was the Golden Crocodile King. Naturally, they had enormous appetites. The other titled masters who arrived later were very perceptive and headed to the hotel's cafeteria, showing no intention of having a meal with the Golden Crocodile Douluo and Di Tian.
After finishing his feast, Golden Crocodile Douluo actively spread his spiritual power, enveloping Tang Shan, Gu Yue, and Di Tian: "Tang Shan, do you have any ideas about how to proceed to the Sun Moon Continent?"
Tang Shan didn't speak, but looked at Gu Yue. Gu Yue said that she had been to the Sun and Moon Continent before, so it would be best for her to lead the expedition this time.
Gu Yue's voice was clear and cold, his expression calm yet dignified: "I know the direction to the Sun and Moon Continent. Just follow my instructions. All three of us have the ability to teleport, so we can travel directly by teleporting. As for resting at night, you can enter my demiplane."
Tang Shan's eyes flickered slightly as he involuntarily recalled the large green bed he had cleaved the Spirit Hall with his axe, and the world filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. It seemed that the existence of that demi-plane was similar to the undead demi-plane that Huo Yuhao would obtain in the future, both of which could be entered at any time.
Tang Shan was lost in thought, while Golden Crocodile Douluo became even more certain of his previous guess, even bringing out his personal demi-plane and saying that Tang Shan was not a god.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was certainly aware of the concept of demiplanes, as some of the trials of the Angel God were conducted in demiplanes created by the gods.
"Okay." Di Tian's answer was very straightforward. As Gu Yue's master, he would obey Gu Yue's orders 100% unless they endangered the soul beast's very foundation and put it in danger of destruction.
Once he came to his senses, Golden Crocodile Douluo quickly nodded, indicating his agreement with Gu Yue's opinion. This was not an admission of weakness, but rather the respect due to a deity.
However, this deity should know of Xiaoxue and the others' existence, yet it's still willing to be with Tang Shan. Could it be that this kid is truly exceptionally talented? Golden Crocodile Douluo unconsciously let his thoughts wander, thus relieving the immense psychological pressure of facing a deity.
After breakfast, the group did not regroup, but instead went their separate ways to explore the Ice Sea City.
For the vast majority of them, this was the first time seeing the sea. In their previous lives, they had either focused on cultivation or held great power, and had no time or leisure to travel around. Now, as they were about to travel to the Sun and Moon Continent with Tang Shan, it was a rare opportunity for them to relax.
Zhu Zhuyun wanted to follow Tang Shan, but she had a little tail following her, so in the end she could only take Zhu Zhuqing to see the sea alone.
"Shall we go to the beach? That way we can leave right away." Dugu Yan shook Tang Shan's arm, her amethyst eyes filled with anticipation.
Tang Shan nodded slightly, then turned to look at Gu Yue. Gu Yue's words, "Wherever you go, I'll go," shut down the question that Tang Shan was about to ask.
Tang Shan smiled helplessly, took the hands of the two women, and after spreading his mental energy to conceal the presence of the three of them, he walked along the main road towards the seaside.
A gentle sea breeze brought a touch of coolness, and the salty smell of the seawater entered the nasal cavity, causing a slight discomfort.
The beach in Icesea City is not just for playing. The golden sand is mixed with a lot of pebbles, and it can be a bit prickly to walk on it if you take off your shoes.
"Look, aren't those two Douluo, Ghost and Moon Guard?" Strolling on the beach, Dugu Yan looked around curiously, and soon spotted two somewhat familiar figures on the shallow shore in the distance.
