"Inherited Spirit Rings are one aspect, as they provide almost fixed Spirit Skills and ensure an orderly inheritance."
However, the Spirit Master World still has newcomers, so the hunting of Spirit Beasts will not significantly decrease just because of the appearance of Inherited Spirit Rings. Moreover, with the rise of Su Wen's theories, will Spirit Masters really stick to conventional combinations of Martial Spirits and Spirit Rings?
Every Martial Spirit's development will inevitably follow different paths, each with its unique understanding. Spirit Rings are no longer just about the source from Spirit Beasts and the age of the Spirit Rings, but will instead focus on Spirit Skills and finding Spirit Skills that are suitable for oneself.
As Su Wen pondered the issues of Spirit Rings, Hai Da's voice pulled him back.
"Master Wen, we seem to be approaching our destination!" Hai Da's voice was filled with excitement.
During the previous voyage, he had learned from Su Wen that their destination was the legendary Sea God Island!
It was the holy land for all Sea Spirit Masters!
Previously, Hai Da only knew the legends of this island but had no idea about the routes leading to Sea God Island or how to find it. Now, he was fortunate enough to obtain a general route map to Sea God Island.
"Sea God Island is the holy land for Sea Spirit Masters and also for Sea Spirit Beasts. Therefore, there are many powerful Spirit Beast groups around Sea God Island. Master Wen, you must have directed us to avoid certain fierce Sea Spirit Beast clans. Fortunately, after our detour, we are now passing through the territory of the Sea Princess clan," Hai Da quickly realized.
"Be cautious for the last stretch of the journey; we don't know if there will be any dangers," Su Wen reminded them.
The final three days of the voyage passed without any further crises.
The Pioneer sailed smoothly, and after drifting in the ocean for two and a half months, it finally reached its destination.
Two and a half months were faster than Su Wen had anticipated.
This was mainly due to their strong momentum. When encountering wind and waves in the ocean, they not only did not avoid them but rather enjoyed the baptism of the wind and waves, continuously perceiving the changes in the Conceptual Design within them.
Their overall understanding of the Conceptual Design of the ocean, combined with Su Wen's intentional use of it, allowed them to enhance the Pioneer with the Conceptual Design through the barrier surrounding it. This made their sailing speed much faster than expected.
...
Sea God Island was very large, much bigger than the Sunset Forest.
From afar, Sea God Island was covered in green, and a rich life force greeted them. Among this life force was also a hint of the ocean's breath.
Despite being on the ocean, Sea God Island gave everyone the illusion of being in a different world.
"Everyone, landing on Sea God Island might be a bit troublesome. We'll need to act according to the situation."
Upon reaching the shore of Sea God Island, Su Wen and the others disembarked, storing the Pioneer in the storage spirit tool.
"Who are you people?"
Soon after their arrival, a group of Sea Spirit Masters rushed over and surrounded them.
"Land Spirit Masters?"
The unique aura of Su Wen and Fighting Heaven Douluo was immediately recognized by the Sea Spirit Masters from Sea God Island.
"This is Sea God Island; land Spirit Masters are not welcome here."
"However, the strong oceanic aura on you, and it seems there is even a blessing from Sea God."
Although the tone was harsh, the leader of the Sea Spirit Master team did not immediately order an attack on Su Wen and the others.
He looked at Su Wen and his companions, clearly puzzled.
How could there be a blessing from Sea God?
Su Wen knew what the Sea God's blessing mentioned by the Sea Spirit Masters actually was. It was the unique trait possessed by Hai Da before setting out to sea. However, after two and a half months of sailing, both Su Wen and Fighting Heaven Douluo had comprehended the Conceptual Design of the ocean.
They were more Sea Spirit Master than the Sea Spirit Masters themselves. This was why the leader of the Sea Spirit Masters was puzzled.
"We come from the Continent. Our visit to Sea God Island is to admire the Sea God's miracles. We understand that outsiders are not welcome here, but I still hope you can help us inform your Grand Priest."
As the leader was about to say something, he suddenly seemed to receive some information, and his expression changed slightly.
Su Wen's eyes flickered as he sensed the recent fluctuation of Spiritual Power. Following the direction of the fluctuation, he looked toward the highest peak on Sea God Island and saw the Temple.
"Apologies. The rules of Sea God Island have always been this way. We were a bit remiss earlier. The Grand Priest has informed us that you are esteemed guests of Sea God Island." The leader bowed in apology and then led Su Wen and the others into the island.
The other Sea Spirit Masters on Sea God Island looked at their leader in surprise.
The Grand Priest actually agreed to let these people into Sea God Island? And as esteemed guests?
In that case, they wouldn't hold them back.
So, these Sea Spirit Masters began to closely observe Su Wen and his group, especially focusing on Su Wen and Fighting Heaven Douluo, as if they wanted to find any distinguishing features about them.
"There doesn't seem to be anything different," they noted with a hint of disappointment.
Sea God Island is divided into Seven Holy Pillars, each corresponding to a city.
"The Seven Holy Pillars are where every Sea Spirit Master on Sea God Island must undergo their assessment after reaching adulthood. Under the arrangement of the Sea God, we take the assessment. Sea Spirit Masters who pass can continue to serve and guard the Sea God on Sea God Island, while those who fail either die during the assessment or are expelled from Sea God Island."
Hai Da and the sailors behind him nodded repeatedly, fascinated by everything on Sea God Island as they listened to the Sea Spirit Masters there introducing them to the island.
As a Sea Spirit Master, being able to come to Sea God Island and even undergo the Sea God's assessment is a tremendous honor, and they were very excited.
"We will be going to the Sea Woman City, corresponding to the Sea Woman Holy Pillar."
"Sea Woman Holy Pillar?"
"Yes, the Seven Holy Pillars correspond to seven cities, with each Holy Pillar guarded by a Titled Douluo. The guardian of the Sea Woman Holy Pillar is Sea Woman Douluo, who is also the lord of Sea Woman City," Liu Hai, the leader of the Sea Spirit Masters on Sea God Island, explained.
"So, there are seven Titled Douluos on Sea God Island!" Hai Da gasped in awe.
On the Continent, apart from Spirit Hall, no other force can rival Sea God Island.
Even the Clear Sky Sect, which emerged before, only had six Titled Douluos. Of course, if you count Tang Hao, the Clear Sky Douluo who was killed by Su Wen before he emerged, then there would indeed be seven.
The newly established Wisdom Palace is already a sanctuary on the Continent, a colossal entity, but it only has one Titled Douluo stationed there, with the others being guest Titled Douluos from other forces.
Among the guest Titled Douluos at Wisdom Palace, three top Douluos are closely related to Su Wen.
"No, Sea God Island has not only seven Titled Douluos guarding the Holy Pillars, but also the Grand Priest with a Soul Power of level ninety-nine!" Liu Hai looked at Su Wen and the others with a face full of pride.
Level ninety-nine!
That is indeed something to be proud of.
