After more than three years, the weathered Xu Xing saw the coast once again and could not hold back his tears.
He truly regretted it!
Had he known that going to sea would be so exhausting and difficult, he would not have spoken to the clan leader about it.
The risks of going to sea, apart from storms and extreme weather, were mainly due to the uncertainty one faced.
At first, most people on the Hao hai Tian Zhou, except for the sailors, were quite excited, as this was their first encounter with the sea. However, after half a month, their enthusiasm began to wane.
Looking around, there was no sign of land, only the deep blue expanse of water surrounding them, as if the entire world consisted solely of the Hao Hai Tian Zhou and the surrounding sea.
After three months, some people could no longer endure it, but Xu Xing, who had a somewhat dispirited will, managed to calm them down.
Six months later, Xu Xing himself could no longer tolerate it and even considered returning home. However, to return empty-handed, having found nothing, felt truly frustrating. They could only continue forward.
Eventually, they entered uncharted waters. When they tried to return, they were unsure of the direction. The sailors aboard, entering unknown territories, were also at a loss and somewhat bewildered.
Fortunately, the Hao Hai Tian Zhou was robust. Even when struck by soul beasts of a ten thousand year-level from the depths of the sea, it remained as solid as a rock, ensuring the safety of everyone on board.
However, as time went on, the food supplies on the Hao Hai Tian Zhou dwindled. Though sea fish were plentiful, frequent consumption led to physical weakness among the crew, with even soul masters unable to escape the adverse effects.
Fortunately, along the way, they had discovered some islands and collected a good amount of edible wild vegetables and fruits. They even set up a large farmland on the deck of the Hao Hai Tian Zhou.
Although they could not grow rice or wheat, growing some vegetables was manageable.
Thus, they sailed the seas for over three years. During this time, there were rebellions and attempts to escape among the crew, but Xu Xing managed to stop them, even resorting to severe measures as a deterrent.
In these three years, Xu Xing had grown significantly, becoming exceptionally decisive and ruthless. Anyone who dared to oppose him was killed, including members of the Xingguan Sect.
On the Hao Hai Tian Zhou, there was only one voice: Xu Xing's!
But now, seeing the coast that resembled the pale underbelly of a fish, Xu Xing was overcome with excitement and shouted to the people on board, "Increase speed! Get ashore!"
"Yes!"
The crew was also invigorated. Their desire for land was even greater than Xu Xing's—
The monotony of the sea voyage and Captain Xu Xing's pressure had left them powerless to resist. Now, seeing new land, it meant that their torment was finally coming to an end. The final tasks were:
First, some would return to report to the Xingguan Sect about the new continent, bring them over, and establish dominance here.
Second, the rest would stay on this new continent to lay the foundation for a new kingdom, ensuring their names would be recorded in history and revered by future generations.
Such a grand undertaking was indeed thrilling and invigorating!
As the Hao Hai Tian Zhou approached the shore, Xu Xing was the first to disembark. Standing on the solid ground, he felt an inexplicable thrill: humans were meant to live on solid earth!
"Everyone, our three-year journey was not in vain. We have found a new continent, a new future awaits us here!" Xu Xing proclaimed, his eyes shining with excitement.
This new continent must be the Sun-Moon Continent!
The Sun-Moon Continent from ten thousand years ago!
In "The Peerless Tangmen," the number and quality of soul masters on the Sun-Moon Continent were not as high as those on the Douluo Continent. The only advantage was significant research into soul-guiding devices.
Now, ten thousand years ago, the development of soul-guiding devices on this continent was certainly not as exaggerated as described in the second part. Moreover, whether the continent's nations were unified remained an unknown.
Therefore, the next step is clear: to investigate the forces on this continent and identify their strongest entities, in order to establish a foothold and gradually expand, eventually exerting control over the land...
...
Upon returning to Spirit City, Tang San reported his soul hunting results to Bibi Dong, while Zhu Zhuqing was taken shopping by Xiao Wu and Lan Yinzi.
"The seventh soul ring is half a million years old. You are so lucky."
Bibi Dong's eyes revealed a hint of bitterness. Before leaving, she had clearly stated that it was unlikely to encounter willingly sacrificial plant soul beasts. Now, how could she explain the five hundred thousand year soul ring? Furthermore, there was now an additional soul spirit named Ah Lan.
The evidence was overwhelming!
It was definitely a sacrificial act!
Why was it that whenever Tang San hunted souls, the soul beasts were always willing to sacrifice themselves? Did they not want to cultivate anymore, thinking that Tang San could help them break through the mortal level constraints?
"Your Majesty, it's not something I can prevent. They volunteered, and I couldn't do anything about it," Tang San shrugged with a nonchalant expression: ┓(`)┏.
It could be said that Tang San was increasingly testing Bibi Dong's limits, growing more "impudent."
His smug demeanor made Bibi Dong want to give him a good thrashing—this kid was inexplicably irritating!
"You mentioned that the Blue Silver Emperor you planted has undergone a mutation. There are misty clouds around the twelve main leaves. What is going on?" Bibi Dong inquired.
"After obtaining the seventh soul ring, my martial soul underwent another transformation and became the Blue Silver Emperor. The Blue Silver Emperor martial souls that were previously planted have also been affected by my transformation, gradually evolving into Blue Silver Emperors themselves. This has caused the roots underground to extend deeper and the Blue Silver network's range to expand further."
Tang San briefly explained the reason and then shared his insights on cultivating vitality, energy, and spirit.
"However, the greatest gain was that while consolidating the blood essence Golden Core, soul power heart nucleus, and mental spirit grid, I also shaped my primordial spirit. This is a form of existence similar to the divine soul but somewhat different."
"If a god controls certain laws while being constrained by them, then the primordial spirit can master all laws without restriction."
"When the cycle of vitality, energy, and spirit is complete, the human body becomes a primordial form of the universe. The primordial spirit then governs the universe's will."
"The path ahead involves continuously mastering all the substances and energies within the body, moving towards the microscopic level—from organs, to tissues, then cells, followed by the components within cells, genetic factors, genetic information, molecular structures, atoms, protons, electrons, and quantum information."
By the end, Bibi Dong struggled to follow, but she understood Tang San's intention: to continuously control the minute components within the body.
At her level, she was aware that the body is composed of countless tiny particles.
Those are cells.
Cells themselves contain various intricate structures, which in turn contain even finer structures, endlessly repeating...
Returning to reality, it's possible that their world is also one of the "tiny structural components" of some greater existence.
"How do you forge the primordial spirit?" Bibi Dong was more concerned with this point. Compared to consolidating the divine soul, she believed that the primordial spirit was the key to truly transforming one's life level.
She had learned about the concept of the Indestructible True Spirit through Tang San's Blue Silver Network.
That was the true essence of a soul! Even someone like her, who possessed the ability to devour souls, could not capture it. She could only glimpse the form of the Indestructible True Spirit in the moment of a soul's natural extinction through the illusory starlit world within the Blue Silver Network!
Although from a mortal perspective (including Bibi Dong and Tang San), memory was considered very important as proof of one's existence, both suspected that achieving true eternity—without the distortion of character due to excessive longevity—might be fundamentally tied to the Indestructible True Spirit.
Tang San and Bibi Dong were now contemplating the challenges that come after breaking through to the divine level...
"The transformation and circulation between vitality, energy, and spirit will naturally nourish the soul and forge the primordial spirit."
Tang San thought for a moment and said, "It's like the rotation of the sun and moon, the changing of seasons, and the growth and decay of all things—a natural process."
"Of course, improving the efficiency of the transformation and circulation between the blood essence Golden Core, soul power heart nucleus, and mental spirit grid can also accelerate this process."
