—------------------—
Under Shi Quan's piloting, it wasn't long before Sea Soul Beasts began to appear around the diving dragon number.
The surrounding Sea Soul Beasts swam past, as if they didn't see a ship passing by them.
This was naturally due to Shi Quan's powerful mental force intervening.
Sailing in the sea was undoubtedly boring. After the initial excitement wore off, everyone began to Cultivate.
The diving dragon number's hull was very stable, so it wouldn't disturb anyone's Cultivation.
Days passed, and the diving dragon number continued to quietly roam beneath the sea, always staying within the reach of sunlight, yet able to avoid the sudden changes in weather on the surface.
Aside from taking a little extra time to bypass the Demon Whale Sea Area, the journey was very smooth.
In the early morning, the sea was still calm and sunny, with turquoise waves rippling.
However, a black speck appeared on the distant horizon.
The diving dragon number slowly surfaced. Shi Quan looked at the black speck in the distance, then at the sea chart in his hand, "That's Sea God Island ahead."
Everyone was a little excited upon hearing this and began to look around.
"Shi Quan, what are we waiting for then? Let's go straight there!" Dugu Yan said excitedly.
"No." Shi Quan shook his head, looked at Gu Yuena, and continued, "To avoid unnecessary trouble, the rest of the journey will have to rely on Lingling."
"Me?" Ye Lingling asked in confusion, "Shi Quan, what do you mean?"
"You'll understand in a moment." Shi Quan controlled the diving dragon number to descend slowly into the deep sea.
The deeper the diving dragon number went, the darker the surrounding light became. When the depth exceeded one hundred meters, the outside sea had already become completely dark.
Thump!
A low sound came. After descending about two hundred meters, the diving dragon number had already settled on the seabed, and everything around was as dark as night.
"Lingling, release the Vast Sea Protecting Shield." Shi Quan looked at Ye Lingling.
"Okay!" Ye Lingling nodded in response. As she spoke, her glabella lit up, and the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, shining with blue light, had already fallen into her palm.
With a flash of blue light, the diving dragon number was instantly enveloped within it. The brilliant blue light emitted by the Vast Sea Protecting Shield immediately illuminated everything around.
"This is?" Ye Lingling was a little stunned, feeling the power emanating from the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
"Did you feel it?" Shi Quan looked at the blue light around him and said slowly, "Don't forget the other name of the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, Sea God's Heart. Only in the great sea can the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud truly unleash its power."
"Alright, let's go out." Shi Quan smiled slightly, "For the rest of the journey, we need to walk."
"Walk?" Everyone looked at Shi Quan, unable to immediately grasp the meaning of his words.
"You'll know once you're out." Shi Quan was the first to walk out of the cabin.
Everyone followed closely. Even after walking out of the cabin and truly standing on the slippery, even somewhat soft corals on the seabed, everyone still couldn't believe that what they were seeing was real.
They were just standing on the seabed like that.
"Shi Quan, why do we have to do this?" Li Meili asked curiously.
"Mom, the Sea God Island's Domain is surrounded by a large number of protective Divine Beasts. The strongest among them are hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts. If we continue to go by boat, we will be attacked. However, Lingling's Vast Sea Protecting Shield has the ability to become invisible and repel water. With this protection, we can pass through the blockade of these Sea Soul Beasts and enter Sea God Island."
"Hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts?" Li Meili was startled and said with some concern, "If something goes wrong down here, wouldn't we all drown?"
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Shi Quan said helplessly, "You have to believe in your son's strength. And if your son isn't enough, there's still Gu Yuena; she's even more powerful than a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast."
"Actually, you could just sail directly. If that Sea Soul Great White Shark really came, I could just intimidate it," Gu Yuena said.
Shi Quan shook his head, "Unless absolutely necessary, it's better if you don't expose yourself, Gu Yuena. After all, this is the Sea God's territory. Being a little more cautious won't hurt."
"Alright, everyone, follow Lingling closely. Let's go." Shi Quan waved, signaling everyone to follow.
Under their feet, there were beautiful corals everywhere, appearing extremely splendid under the blue light of the Vast Sea Protecting Shield. Of course, this was only what they saw from inside the Vast Sea Protecting Shield; from the outside, it was still completely dark.
Traveling on the seabed was much more difficult than on land. The seabed was uneven, even giving a feeling of rolling mountains. Fortunately, everyone's strength was not weak. Even when encountering very difficult places to walk, they could move quickly as if on flat ground.
Gradually, everyone felt the terrain of the seabed gradually rising. Everyone knew Sea God Island was approaching.
"What's that?" Zhuqing's eyes narrowed slightly. She saw a huge white shadow speeding from a distance, having quietly swept past about twenty meters in front of them. Like a ghost in the ocean, it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"A Sea Soul Great White Shark, one of the most ferocious protective Sea Soul Beasts on the island." Shi Quan introduced, "Let's go. Don't worry, it won't discover us."
Everyone's previously tense hearts relaxed a bit.
They continued forward.
Finally, the ground beneath their feet gradually turned to sand, and the surrounding visibility greatly improved. Everyone slowly walked out of the great sea, step by step.
"We're out! We really walked out from the seabed!" Yu Feng burst into laughter.
Under the sunlight, the beach was pure white and delicate, like tiny crystal-like grains of sand shimmering with silver light. Upon arriving, the first thing one felt was tranquility. The sea and sky merged into one, and gulls soared in competition. The sky was an azure blue, a high and distant blue, a pure blue, a transparent blue.
Looking at the beautiful scenery of Sea God Island, everyone couldn't help but be a little enchanted.
"It's so beautiful here." Li Meili took Shi Jian's arm and gently rested her head on his shoulder.
"Didn't Shi Quan say we could live here? If you like it, we can stay here." Shi Jian said softly.
"Okay!" Li Meili nodded.
"Lingling can retract the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud now."
Ye Lingling nodded, her eyes shining. The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which had been protecting them, had quietly returned to the depths of her glabella. From the outside, their group seemed to have appeared out of thin air on the beach, their bodies becoming visible as the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was retracted.
As everyone took a few breaths of the refreshing, moist air, a slightly astonished voice came from the forest in front of the beach.
"Who's there?" Accompanied by a low shout, seven or eight figures suddenly darted out of the forest and appeared in front of everyone. These people had varied appearances, but they shared one common characteristic: their clothes, which were similar to close-fitting uniforms, were light yellow.
"The guide has arrived." Shi Quan murmured softly, a smile on his lips.
