[Shui Clan Prosperity Level Detected: Current Prosperity Level is 30 points!]

Inside the Shui Clan Leader's Grand Hall, Shui Wuya, seated cross-legged in meditation, slowly opened his eyes as the system notification echoed in his mind.

As expected, the key to restoring the Shui Clan's prosperity lies in creating a grand spectacle. The more renowned the Shui Clan becomes across the continent, the faster their prosperity will be restored.

However, Shui Wuya quickly realized that with over four months remaining until the Shui Clan's reemergence, he must make preparations to bolster their presence. The grander the display, the more lasting the impression it will leave.

Shui Wuya exited the Grand Hall and headed straight for the Shui Clan Soul Tool Sanctuary.

The newly rebuilt Shui Clan Soul Tool Sanctuary consists of a main hall and four side halls. Only soul masters of level six and above are permitted to enter the main hall.

"Clan Leader, you have arrived!"

Sensing Shui Wuya's presence, Han Feng hurried out to greet him. Since becoming the head of the Soul Tool Sanctuary, Han Feng has been busy constructing various foundational facilities for soul tools.

"I am here to forge soul tools," Shui Wuya declared.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng immediately led Shui Wuya to a fully equipped soul tool crafting room within the main hall.

"I will stand guard outside for you, Clan Leader."

After speaking, Han Feng respectfully exited the room, leaving Shui Wuya alone.

Shui Wuya released his spiritual power to inspect the crafting room. After confirming that all materials were in place and the room's structural integrity was sufficient, he was quite satisfied.

Before beginning the soul tool crafting, however, he decided to first check on Shui Bing'er.

"Soul Possession Activate!"

In an instant, Shui Wuya's thoughts shifted!

...

Ten thousand years ago, on the edge of Sea God Island.

Shui Bing'er and eight academy deans rode a giant ice turtle, halting at the shoreline, their faces tinged with melancholy.

"Bing'er, Bo Saixi's strength is overwhelmingly terrifying. She is likely a legendary rank ninety-nine peerless Douluo. Even if we combined our forces, we wouldn't stand a chance against her."

The dean of Tianshui Academy frowned slightly. She had previously landed quietly and scouted Sea God Island, clearly understanding that they couldn't contend with Bo Saixi.

"We don't even know if Tang San is on Sea God Island. If he is, and with Bo Saixi there, it will be nearly impossible to kill him."

Shui Bing'er sighed inwardly. She had anticipated the difficulty of the Ice God's eighth trial but hadn't expected it to be this challenging.

She couldn't help but think of Shui Wuya. If he were here, perhaps there would be a solution.

At that very moment, a familiar voice suddenly echoed in her mind.

"Bing'er, what trouble have you encountered?"

Using his soul possession ability, Shui Wuya's soul consciousness appeared within Shui Bing'er.

"Wuya, you're here!"

Shui Bing'er's face, previously filled with worry, now lit up with joy.

Immediately, she relayed all the difficulties they were facing to Shui Wuya.

After a moment, Shui Wuya pondered the content of Shui Bing'er's Ice God's eighth trial, gradually realizing that this trial was far from simple.

Originally, Shui Wuya thought that killing Tang San would allow Shui Bing'er to complete the Ice God's eighth trial. However, now it seemed that even killing Bo Saixi might not be enough to fulfill the requirements.

"Bing'er, the Tian Dou Empire's royal family possesses a treasure called the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. It is the key to unlocking the Sea God's inheritance. We should obtain it first," Shui Wuya suggested after some contemplation.

Given that the five-year period had not yet expired, Tang San likely hadn't acquired the Sea God's artifact. This timing could work in their favor.

Scanning Sea God Island with his spiritual power, Shui Wuya confirmed that Tang San was not present.

"Alright, let's follow your plan!" Shui Bing'er agreed immediately. Sometimes, a change in approach could lead to unexpected success.

"Change course, head towards the Tian Dou Empire!"

Shui Bing'er quickly made her decision. The giant ice turtle shifted its direction, slowly departing from the coast of Sea God Island and heading back towards the mainland.

Meanwhile, in a dense forest on the mainland, a man and a woman emerged, their figures shrouded in residual energy from their time in the City of Slaughter. These two figures were none other than Tang San and Hu Liena, having just completed their trials.

...

Shui Wuya's soul consciousness returned to the present, where he began crafting a soul tool.

His objective for the soul tool was straightforward: it had to be extraordinarily elaborate and ostentatious.

The more extravagant, the better. He intended to thoroughly impress and overwhelm the locals.

Nine dragons pulling the coffin, an apocalyptic red moon, the Immortal King descending from the Ninth Heaven, the entire sect ascending...

As these phenomena unfolded, even the Limit Douluo would tremble in fear.

Tossing a bundle of materials into the air to merge, Shui Wuya focused intently on controlling them.

Seconds turned into minutes.

"Ice Emperor, Dream, Bai Shan, Octagon, Evil Eye, Ice Phoenix!"

Half an hour later, as the crucial moment of the refining process approached, Shui Wuya swiftly summoned the five great spirit beasts and the Ice Phoenix hidden within himself.

"What an astonishing aura."

Octagon, after manifesting, cocked its head to gaze at the semi-finished soul tool in front of Shui Wuya, shimmering with iridescent light.

"What do you need us to do?" Ice Emperor spoke directly, inquiring about the reason for their summoning.

"Pour all of your spiritual power into this soul tool," Shui Wuya commanded with a low growl.

This was his first attempt at crafting this particular soul tool, and he would not tolerate any failures.

"It seems you only call upon us when you need assistance," Mirage Ice Worm grumbled, its chubby face looking pouty.

"We should lend a hand to our master immediately," the simple and honest White Mountain chimed in, having no further thoughts beyond helping Shui Wuya as soon as possible.

As the four great spirit beasts expressed their willingness to assist, Evil Eye remained silent. Not out of disdain, quite the opposite. Ever since becoming Shui Wuya's spirit beast, Evil Eye's admiration for him had deepened, especially upon learning that Shui Wuya had subdued the 700,000-year Snow Emperor and the 400,000-year Ice Emperor, dispelling any previous feelings of resentment.

"Let's begin!" At the critical moment, Shui Wuya's voice suddenly resounded.

Without hesitation, the five great spirit beasts and the Ice Phoenix erupted with their spiritual power, madly infusing it into the semi-finished soul tool that Shui Wuya was crafting!

Meanwhile, Shui Wuya himself condensed a spiritual flower, swiftly engraving a series of array patterns onto the semi-finished soul tool.

Hours passed in the blink of an eye.

As evening approached, with a terrifying burst of illusionary power emanating from the soul tool, the five great spirit beasts and the Ice Phoenix finally ceased their spiritual power transmission.

Shui Wuya's hands were bathed in shimmering colors as a ninth-level soul tool, resembling a scroll, took on its complete form!
