Chapter 164: Sea God Island
"Now that the excitement is over, what are your plans?"
Pei Qing looked at the woman beside him, shrugged, and asked directly.
With the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament concluded, everyone could go their separate ways.
A team is, after all, just a team. Their strength is temporary; only one's own power is truly one's own.
Constantly dwelling on the past won't make you stronger; it will only weaken you.
Therefore, Pei Qing planned to go into seclusion and travel across the continent. A true powerful individual must experience battles, kill, and fight bravely.
The birth of a strong person is inseparable from passionate battles after another.
"I plan to return to Sky Water City. Some matters at Sky Water Academy require my attention."
Shui Bing'er, from the Shui Family in Sky Water City, spoke. Sky Water Academy, one of the Five Element Academies, was their family's property. With Shui Bing'er's current strength, returning and becoming a teacher there wouldn't be an issue.
Of course, given her age and cultivation, she wouldn't waste her valuable time as a teacher. With her talent, it would be better for her to strive to become a Title Douluo—because, ultimately, without reaching that level, one is just an ant.
"I plan to go home and cultivate for a while, then learn some poison techniques from my grandfather!"
As the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, Dugu Yan naturally had to inherit her grandfather's poison cultivation techniques. She had been busy cultivating before, but now that the competition was over, she finally had free time to learn the passed-down poison techniques of the Dugu Family.
Soon, everyone shared their plans. Ye Lingling also intended to return to Heaven Dou City to learn medical skills from her grandfather.
Zhu Zhuqing was now completely alone. Unable to return to the Star Luo Empire, she decided to stay by Pei Qing's side. In her words, as a maid, it was her duty to serve and take care of her master.
Di Mingli also naturally stayed close to Pei Qing. As for Ah Yin... oh, she would rather die than leave Pei Qing. She had been overly transformed by his blood—so much so that she didn't want to be apart from him for even a moment.
Shui Bing'er, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling each had their own arrangements, which allowed Pei Qing to relax about them.
With their talent, even if they cultivated steadily now, becoming a Title Douluo in the future was practically guaranteed.
However, Pei Qing still held a certain opportunity that was indispensable for them.
Why could the Shrek Seven Devils in the original work become gods in just a few decades? This was partly due to the Immortal Herbs and Tang San's leadership, but Sea God Island was also an essential and crucial turning point.
Without Sea God Island, the Shrek Seven Devils' path to godhood would have been delayed by decades.
No, perhaps it's more accurate to say that without Sea God Island, their desire to become gods would have been nearly impossible.
"Bing'er, Sister Yan, and Sister Lingling, since you've made your decisions, I won't say much more. But before we part ways, I think we should set a time to meet again."
"I possess an opportunity that will be incredibly important to you."
"Have you perhaps heard of Sea God Island?"
Few young Soul Masters knew about Sea God Island, so when Pei Qing asked, he saw the women shake their heads in confusion.
"Sea God Island was left behind by a powerful individual who broke through to level 100 and achieved a divine position ten thousand years ago!"
"This island is located in the vast ocean and is extremely powerful—so much so that it's not even afraid of Spirit Hall."
Sea God Island indeed never feared Spirit Hall; it once annihilated Spirit Hall's army in the ocean.
Pei Qing learned this from Qian Renxue. Over two thousand Soul Masters were directly wiped out in a single battle, perishing in the vast sea.
Among them were two Title Douluo. While terrain played a role, it demonstrated that Sea God Island's strength should not be underestimated.
Much of this was because their Great Priest was a figure on the same level as Qian Daoliu.
"Could this opportunity be on Sea God Island?"
Shui Bing'er furrowed her delicate brows. Although she enjoyed reading various Soul Master-related books, she knew nothing about Sea God Island.
"Exactly. There is indeed a tremendous opportunity on Sea God Island. If your attributes are suitable, there's even a chance of becoming a god."
With the existence of the Vast Sea Universe Cover, it was likely that one among Pei Qing's group would inherit the Sea God's divine position.
Who would inherit the Sea God's divine position?
If it were a fair competition, Pei Qing felt there was a high probability that Shui Bing'er would be the chosen one.
After all, the attributes of the others are too different from those of the Sea God.
The Sea God was completely unpicky. In the original work, Tang San, with no connection to the Sea God except for his Blue Silver Emperor bloodline, inherited the divine position.
The Sea God simply wanted to escape, disregarding what attributes his successor possessed—so long as they could bear the divine position, anything was fine.
However, in a fair contest, Shui Bing'er, with her ultimate ice attribute, would likely be the Sea God's first choice.
After all, water and ice can be converted in some aspects.
"Becoming a god… an opportunity to break through to level 100!"
The women widened their eyes in surprise at Pei Qing's words.
Breaking through to level 100 and achieving godhood was the dream of countless Title Douluo.
Generation after generation, many searched but couldn't reach it. Now Pei Qing was telling them that the opportunity to become a god was right before them—how could they not be astonished?
"That's right. If everything goes as planned, one of us will inherit the Sea God's position. Of course, I won't be the one."
With the Great Sun Authority, even if the Sea God wanted to forcibly bestow the divine position on him, Pei Qing knew he couldn't inherit it.
Hearing this, the women, except Di Mingli, grew curious.
They understood their own talents—good, but not comparable to Pei Qing.
Pei Qing merely shook his head, indicating he had other opportunities.
"In that case, why don't we set a date three years from now? We'll gather in Heaven Dou City then and head to Sea God Island together!"
Dugu Yan suddenly spoke, already curious about what Sea God Island truly was, as described by Pei Qing.
"Three years from now?"
"Very well. In these three years, I ask everyone to diligently improve their cultivation."
