Chapter 319 The Spiritual World
Over the ocean!!
Sitting leisurely on a wooden chair, Gui Mei suddenly stood up...
Then he walked to the cockpit and asked, "Xu Sheng, how much longer until we reach Sea God's Island? When I accompanied the other Elders of the Martial Soul Hall on a ship before, it didn't take this much time!!"
"Have you taken a wrong turn??"
He seriously suspected that the former didn't know how to navigate a ship or read a map at all!!
Otherwise, why would the voyage be so roundabout!
Xu Sheng patiently answered, "Elder Gui, rest assured, there is absolutely no mistake in our route. The reason it's taking longer is to avoid areas heavily infested with sea soul beasts!!"
"So, please bear with us a little longer!!"
After all, he was a "companion" who had come this far with him; he ought to understand his impatience!!
But Gui Mei didn't buy it at all, rebuking, "Bear with it, bear with it, you've already said these words so many times, and yet, up to now, there's still no sign of Sea God's Island!!"
"Otherwise, let's just turn back the way we came, while we still haven't completely lost our way!!"
He had lost the mood to mess around with the former!!
The only thought was to be able to return alive to Martial Soul City!!
Xu Sheng, somewhat helpless, again tried to reassure him, "Elder Gui, we've come this far; you should have a little more basic trust in me. If I didn't have confidence, how would I dare to come here on my own?"
"However, Elder Gui, if you really are worried, you can go back first!!"
Suppressing the urge to curse at the other, Gui Mei sneered, "You're focusing on the latter part of your sentence, aren't you?"
"But since you're so eager to urge me to leave, I'm just going to stay to see what you're planning to do once we get to Sea God's Island!!"
Leaving now would mean missing out on the former's true purpose of coming here!
If he vowed not to return to Martial Soul City, then he wouldn't be able to hold back from being punished!!
Therefore, it's better to stay by his side!!
Xu Sheng suppressed a smile, "In that case, Elder Gui, you should stop inquiring. You just need to know that our current route's end is Sea God's Island!!"
Upon hearing this, Gui Mei couldn't help but feel like he was being tricked, but he had no evidence...
After shaking his head, he couldn't help but warn, "Okay, but you better not cause any more trouble. If something like the last incident happens, I will leave without hesitation!"
"And let you perish here on your own!!"
Having said that, he turned and left...
It was then that Xu Sheng's eyes gradually grew cold...
There was something he hadn't told Gui Mei!!
That was indeed that the ship he was steering was headed for Sea God's Island!
But for some reason, it always deviated from its course, as if influenced by something!!
That's right, it wasn't that he wanted to stray with the ship aimlessly, but there was a significant problem with this part of the ocean!!!
"The only being capable of doing such a thing in the ocean would have to be of God Rank!!"
"However, in this world, no one has yet broken through to God Rank!"
"The answer is obvious then, it's the High Priest of Sea God's Island, Poseissi!!"
The reason is very simple. Although Poseissi is an Ultimate Douluo, with the buffs she receives in the ocean and the Martial Soul Sea God, she can definitely exhibit power comparable to a god's!!
Thus, doing something to this ocean area is a piece of cake for her!!
After reaching this conclusion, Xu Sheng took a deep breath and turned his gaze toward the vast ocean ahead...
If it was the ocean causing his deviation from the course, then that thing might be able to break through all this!!
With that, he took out the Boundless Universe Shield he hadn't used yet!!
After infusing Soul Power, his own spiritual power was immediately swallowed by a vortex and he was forcibly pulled into a space...
...
When he regained consciousness, Xu Sheng saw a giant apparition before him...
Almost instantaneously, the identity of the other was revealed!!
The Former Sea God!!
The figure looked at Xu Sheng with an emotionless gaze and whispered, "Strange... The Boundless Universe Shield has been triggered, yet this child is not the one I have chosen as the Sea God!!"
"Is there some mistake??"
He doubted that the Boundless Universe Shield, into which he had infused Divine Power, had a flaw!!
Xu Sheng's gaze did not waver, and he calmly stated, "Sea God, it seems there is no mistake."
The Sea God, interrupted in his thoughts, expressed surprise and said, "Oh?? You actually know my identity??"
The other's presence was merely that of an ordinary Titled Douluo, yet he could recognize his identity at a glance, which was indeed curious!!
Xu Sheng did not deny it, but continued, "If I am not mistaken, the Boundless Universe Shield is also something you left behind after your ascension to godhood, with the purpose of selecting the successor of the Sea God!!"
As these words were spoken, the Sea God's eyes narrowed slightly...
"You are not a common human, speak, who exactly are you!!"
As his words fell, an incredibly immense pressure descended straight down from the vault of this space, and struck Xu Sheng squarely...
However, the anticipated scene did not occur...
The moment the pressure touched Xu Sheng, it was neutralized by an invisible force...
The Sea God's expression changed dramatically, in disbelief he said, "This... How is this possible!! You can actually withstand my spiritual pressure!!"
Xu Sheng replied with a smile, "Sea God, you need not worry, I have no ill intentions!"
If it had been Divine Power at play, it might have been somewhat difficult for him to withstand at this moment!
But if it was just spiritual power, he had no fear at all!
Upon hearing this, the former was immediately dumbfounded...
Wasn't that line supposed to be said by him??
It seemed as if their positions had somehow reversed!!
The Sea God regained his composure, becoming cool-headed once again...
"Exactly who are you?? To withstand my pressure, your spiritual power must have also reached the God Rank!!"
A Title Douluo with God Rank spiritual power was simply unheard of!!
What was more terrifying was that he was still but a child!!
Xu Sheng chuckled lightly, "Worthy of being the Sea God, you've seen right through me!"
Seeing him admit it, the Sea God began to think rapidly...
Such a young age, yet possessing such terrifying strength and spiritual power...
Could it be...
He suddenly had an epiphany, "You are not from the Lower Realm at all, but from the Divine Realm!"
You might even be the child of one of the Divine Kings!!
Xu Sheng shook his head, "Who I am is not important, but... I now need to borrow the Boundless Universe Shield, would the Sea God be willing??"
The Sea God was stunned, "Borrow the Boundless Universe Shield?? With your strength, this object probably isn't of much use, right?"
