Chapter 196: Poseidon's Changes (Two in One)

"By the way, teacher, after leaving for the mainland, I went to a place."

"Where?"

Bo Saixi walked slowly to Su Cheng's side, her expression a little curious.

In fact, she had wanted to ask for a long time, but she had talked about Mingjiao before, and Su Cheng diverted the topic later, so she didn't have time to ask in detail.

"I went to the Wuhun Hall." Su Cheng turned to look at Bo Saixi and smiled.

"In Douluo Continent, the status of Wuhun Palace is somewhat like Poseidon Island on the sea. However, in addition to Wuhun Palace, there are two empires, Tiandou and Xingluo, which rule a large number of civilians. These three forces are relatively balanced among each other. , not quite like us.”

"Did you go to the Spirit Hall?" Bo Saixi's expression changed when he heard this.

"Yes, Qian Daoliu, the great priest of Wuhun Palace, is very powerful and is also a peerless Douluo at level ninety-nine. Does the teacher know anything about him?"

Facing Su Cheng's questioning gaze, Bo Saixi hesitated for a moment, then spoke slowly after a moment.

"Cheng'er, I once told you that it is difficult for ordinary soul masters to reach the sky after the ninety-fifth level. The reason why I can reach the ninety-ninth level is because of the top eight skills given by Lord Poseidon. Examine the gift.

"But in this world, besides me, there are two other people who have reached level ninety-nine. They are Qian Daoliu who was born in Wuhun Palace on Douluo Continent and Tang Chen from Haotian Sect.

"I have met these two people once, and we have had discussions and exchanges with each other for a period of time."

Bo Saixi's eyes were blank, as if she was lost in memories.

"Among the three of us, Qian Daoliu and I both have the strength we have today because of the shadow of our ancestors. As for Tang Chen, just like Lord Poseidon back then, he cultivated to the ninety-nine level entirely by relying on his own strength. class.

"I don't know how he and Lord Poseidon did it, but he may be the only person in the world who has the hope to become a god by relying on his own strength."

At this point, she suddenly paused and glanced at Su Cheng.

Looking at it now, maybe his apprentice also has the same opportunity.

Lorelai was not strong enough and could not see how powerful Su Cheng was. She only knew that he was stronger than her, but she had no idea how much stronger he was.

But when it comes to Bo Saixi's level, she can vaguely feel it.

But when she thought about the conversation and discussion between the two of them just now, she felt an inexplicable worry in her heart, which even diluted her heart's relief and joy of reunion.

After gathering her emotions for a moment, she continued: "Qiandaoliu and I are in similar situations, but he has been gifted by the God of Angels. Although the strength of the three of us is almost the same, if we look at it fairly, the most powerful But it’s Tang Chen, he is different from us, his strength comes entirely from his own cultivation.”

"It seems that you have a good relationship." Su Cheng said casually, "Tang Chen is indeed very strong and a rare genius in the world, but teacher, you don't need to underestimate yourself."

He stretched out his hand to summon his martial spirit.

Soul rings appeared at his feet, and three hundred thousand year soul rings among them were even more dazzling, making Bo Saixi's heart tremble slightly.

"The Poseidon Assessment has created you, and it has also shackled you. What I'm talking about is not that your status as a guardian of the gods prevents you from breaking through to level 100, but that it makes your state of mind clouded.

"Teacher, you once said that when a soul master reaches level ninety-five or above, the speed of absorbing soul power will become extremely slow, and it will be very difficult to upgrade. It can easily take dozens or hundreds of years.

"But the premise of all this is that you have had no understanding during this period. In these years, since you came down from the mountain, have you not had any understanding or been touched at all?"

Bo Saixi listened to Su Cheng's persuasion expressionlessly, feeling strange and helpless in her heart.

The kid is at it again.

Every time this conversation occurs, she feels like she doesn't look like a teacher at all.

Su Chengruo continued unconsciously: "Teacher, whether it is you or Senior Qian Daoliu, you are born in a high position and have a mission, so you naturally have resources that ordinary people do not have. But at the same time, you also It’s rare to have the opportunity to go through the hardships of the world.”

He looked at the sword in his hand.

"You know my gifted teacher. Even with the qualifications I had when I left Poseidon Island, I wouldn't have been able to reach my current level in just over ten years.

"With the innate conditions of you and Senior Qian Daoliu, what if you don't have these top eight exams? It just requires more insights and the improvement speed is a little slower, but in exchange it is a higher upper limit and infinite possibilities.

"Even if there is no sacrifice, you have actually paid some price for rapid improvement."

"... Just say what you have to say." Bo Saixi glanced at Su Cheng, knowing that the other party must have other ideas.

He had said similar words many years ago when he was persuading himself to walk down Poseidon Mountain.

"Teacher, let's take a closer look. It's not just Poseidon Island, and it's not just the fleets that go to and from Poseidon Island's market. It's more about walking around on the sea. Come with me, look at the sea outside Poseidon Island, look at those How ordinary people live."

Seeing that Bo Saixi was hesitant and silent, Su Cheng was not in a hurry. He knew that the other party would have to think more about this kind of thing.

After all, the rules of Poseidon Island are there.

Although as Bo Saixi, it doesn't really matter.

But it is unrealistic to really ask the other party to have no scruples.

But it doesn't matter, the rules are always broken little by little, and he still has several years.

"How have you been these past years, teacher?"

"Me?" Bo Saixi's eyes flickered, and many images flashed through his mind.

"Unlike you, I went to a vast continent and the scope of my activities was limited to Poseidon Island. However, there are many interesting people. I didn't realize it before. Although some games look childish, they are actually quite interesting to play.

"I don't know if you have heard of the 'Blue Sea Dragon', which is to seal one's own soul power, then select a shell of a suitable size, and simply rely on the force skills of the wrist and fingers to eject it, with the help of a few pieces of water floating on the sea While using the pedals, you also have to avoid various obstacles to see whose shell moves the farthest.

"Don't think this game is easy. It not only tests skills, but also depends on vision and prediction. It is very difficult for ordinary people. Of course, this is nothing to me. And..."

As she talked, a smile appeared on her face, and she talked more and more.

Regardless of the transactions in the market, the process of exchanging supplies with the merchants in the fleet, or the entertainment activities of the sea people, etc., everything is described in detail.

In the past, she had taken a quick look at some things on the mountain.

But now I realize that many things are much more interesting than they seem after personal experience.

When Bo Saixi spoke, Su Cheng never spoke, but listened quietly with a faint smile on his face.

The other party's expression at this moment made him more confident about his previous proposal.

Time passed by minute by second, and as he spoke, Bo Saixi's eyes were shining, and she seemed to be immersed in it.

Unlike the mainland, there are very few intrigues among the sea people.

Because there are sufficient resources here, there is no need to fight for resources.

People's social status is also relatively fixed. Poseidon warriors are stronger than sea spirit masters, and sea spirit masters are higher than ordinary people.

What everyone has to face on weekdays are sudden natural disasters and attacks by sea soul beasts, but the way people get along with each other is very simple.

"..."

Gradually, Bo Saixi's voice dropped.

She noticed the expression Su Cheng looked at her at this time, with a hint of embarrassment on his fair cheeks.

Seeing this, Su Cheng's smile became more obvious.

Most women are very emotional.

Even a peerless strong man like Bo Saixi would have a slightly different mentality from men.

Therefore, they will pay more attention to emotional feedback. Whether it is joy or excitement, even negative emotions such as anger and sadness, it is better to have it than not.

The quality of your mood is not the most important factor. The key lies in the ups and downs of the mood itself.

This can bring them a sense of freshness.

Seeing Bo Saixi's profile looking at the sea in the distance as if nothing had happened, Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh.

The sculptural curves of her cheeks and facial features, as well as the agility and purity in her eyes that have not yet dissipated, blend perfectly with her vast and deep aura belonging to a strong person, showing her unique style and temperament.

At this moment, she looked more like a living goddess than the rigid statue on Poseidon Mountain.

But being watched like this, Bo Saixi gradually found it difficult to maintain her composure.

Finally, she couldn't help but turned around and glared at him, "Why are you laughing?"

"Of course I'm happy." Su Cheng said with a smile, "Teacher, have you been very happy these years?"

Bo Saixi's eyes flashed and she softly said "hmm".

At this time, Su Cheng suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, Senior Qian Daoliu seems to have always been thinking about you."

"..." Hearing him talk about this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on Bo Saixi's face. She subconsciously turned her cheek to the side and looked into the distance.

After a long silence, he explained: "After we broke up, he and I never saw each other again. But before the three of us were together, Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen had pursued me together."

"You refused?"

"...Why are you asking about so many old things?"

"You are my teacher. Of course I am curious. If it is inconvenient to say it, forget it."

"Forget it, it's okay to tell you. It's not a secret anyway." Bo Saixi sighed and whispered, "I did reject them. I told them, who among them can break through level 100, I will Just accept anyone’s feelings.”

"Breaking through level 100..." Su Cheng repeated this sentence softly, and then asked: "Does it mean becoming a god? So you don't like both of them, or do you not like Qian Daoliu?"

Her condition is undoubtedly extremely difficult, but Tang Chen still has a glimmer of hope. Qian Daoliu, as the guardian of the angel god, definitely has no chance.

"..." Bo Saixi was silent for a moment before speaking again, but did not answer the question. He just said: "Tang Chen once told me when he left that if one day he can break through the hundredth level and become a real god, he will come again. Find me."

Su Cheng smacked his lips when he heard this and chuckled, "Does it matter whether you become a god or not?"

Bo Saixi looked back at him, a little dazed.

This seems important, but it also seems not so important.

When she lived on Poseidon Mountain all year round, it was her duty to serve Poseidon. Although Poseidon himself was far away in the God Realm, she actually did not need her service at all.

But at that time, it seemed that becoming a god was the biggest wish and ideal in life. As a peerless Douluo at level 99, what else was worth pursuing?

Maybe the reason why Tang Chen decided to leave back then was because of the same idea.

No, his will may be stronger than his own.

After all, he was destined to have no hope of becoming a god. The so-called "becoming a god" was just a thought, but Tang Chen was different. He really had this chance.

But now looking back, it seems not bad to be able to protect thousands of sea people. At least in these years, she has really gained unprecedented satisfaction and touched.

But with Su Cheng's qualifications and his progress in cultivation, it doesn't matter?

Bo Saixi shook his head and laughed, "It doesn't matter."

"So teacher, your life is still very long, you really should go out and see more. Sea God Island is such a small place, you can see too few scenery."

"You kid, you are educating me instead?" Bo Saixi said lightly, "Don't just talk about me, what are you going to do next? Haven't you met a girl you like on the mainland?"

Hearing this, Su Cheng was stunned for a moment, and Bibi Dong's face suddenly flashed in his mind.

Bo Saixi observed the expression and was suddenly surprised.

She was just asking casually, but she didn't expect that there seemed to be a real situation.

"Did I get it right?"

"I did meet someone very special, but I can't say I'm attracted to her."

"She's a very pretty girl, isn't she?"

Bo Saixi didn't believe Su Cheng's words. She could see that the other person looked different just now.

"Not as pretty as the teacher." Su Cheng's emotions were only revealed for a moment, and then he calmed down.

"You don't have to talk about me all the time." Bo Saixi looked at him, "You must have other outstanding qualities besides outstanding looks."

After spending many years with Su Cheng, she knew the temperament of her apprentice.

She was too opinionated, even to the point of excessive self-awareness.

When she just awakened her martial soul at the age of six, she was obviously born with very poor aptitude, but she resolutely gave up the opportunity to ascend to heaven in one step, and rejected her suggestion to accept her apprentice without any hesitation on the spot. This was simply beyond imagination.

She would not be arrogant, but she was also very confident in her strength and status. Any other person of the same age would never make such a move.

Later, when the two of them were getting along, this character of the other party became more and more obvious, which also created the special relationship between the two of them as both teacher and friend. In fact, in this process, she, as a teacher, benefited more.

"She is indeed different." Su Cheng said frankly, "or rather, her growth was beyond my expectations."

All along, strength and talent were not the criteria for Su Cheng to evaluate others.

When he first met Bibi Dong, he did look at her with tinted glasses for a long time.

The ultimate goal of getting to know her, contacting her, and cultivating her was just to make her a handy tool.

After all, in the eyes of Su Cheng in the past, Bibi Dong was too easy to use.

Outstanding talent, simple mind, extreme temperament, and unable to distinguish right from wrong.

But in fact, Bibi Dong is much better than imagined.

She has never been arrogant and complacent because of her own talent. She can see the strengths of others, recognize her own shortcomings, and is willing to learn and work hard.

She was naive in the past just because no one had ever taught her these things.

"Why didn't you bring it back to Poseidon Island?" Bo Saixi gently stroked her long blue hair that was blown by the sea breeze.

"It's impossible between us." Su Cheng said with a smile.

There was no regret in his words, but he seemed unusually calm.

Bo Saixi frowned when he saw this.

Logically speaking, at Su Cheng's current age, he should be interested in these things, how could he be so calm.

He was about to say a few words and establish his dignity as a teacher.

But Su Cheng interrupted him first, "Teacher, now is not the time for me to consider love between men and women, and even you don't have a home yet, how can I, as a disciple, take the lead."

Bo Saixi immediately closed her lips and stopped talking.

She had a hunch that if she continued to talk about this topic in depth, she would probably be squeezed by Su Cheng's words again.

She felt a little depressed but inexplicably happy at the same time.

There are too few people in the world who can communicate with her on an equal footing.

It can even be said that there are none at all.

Even those Saint Pillar Douluo spoke to her respectfully and respectfully.

For so many years, she could only hide her appearance and could not show her true face to others. After all, there was still a layer of separation in the senses.

Only in front of this disciple did she have the opportunity to show her true self.

Not to mention that Su Cheng's style of doing things has always been like this in the past, now even in terms of strength, the two are already at the same level.

She even felt that the fluctuations in her heart over the years combined were not as great as the emotional ups and downs brought about by the short half-day conversation after reuniting with Su Cheng today.

Time flies, and five years have passed quickly.

In these years, Su Cheng has also completed all the layouts including the Sea God Island.

After the previous persuasion, Bo Saixi finally went to sea.

In fact, she occasionally left the Sea God Island in the past, not strictly abiding by the so-called rule that members of the Sea God Island are not allowed to leave the island for life.

She is not so rigid. There are many powerful sea soul beasts that stir up trouble on the sea, and she personally dealt with them.

But this time was different from the past. This time, she left the island largely because of her own selfishness, and the time she spent outside exceeded the limit.

At this time, Su Cheng would accompany her.

Sometimes, the two of them would even observe the development of the Ming Cult together.

Su Cheng never avoided it.

This matter cannot be concealed by force, and the result of forcibly concealing it will only backfire.

The core spirit of the Ming Cult is actually hidden in the doctrine, hidden under everyone's eyes.

The so-called "Sea God" mentioned repeatedly in it is just an illusory shell.

If someone peels off this shell and removes the word "Sea God", they will find that it has no effect on the entire doctrine.

But Poseidon obviously doesn't realize this.

Or rather, it is difficult for anyone to realize this.

It is for this reason that Su Cheng will show everything without scruples.

Maybe those people on the mainland who are engaged in power struggles all day long can find something.

But with the ideas of the sea people, it is obvious that they can't think that deeply.

This has nothing to do with wisdom, but the so-called "knowledge and view obstacles".

Just like if someone has lived in a dark environment since birth, then even if there are ten lights in the room, because they have never seen light, the people in the room will certainly not think of actively looking for the switches of these ten lights.

If someone points out the problems in the teachings of the Ming Cult, it is estimated that many people will easily discover the hidden dangers, but if they are not reminded, it is difficult to realize this point on their own.

However, although he does not avoid it, Su Cheng has not appeared in the core group of the Ming Cult in front of Bo Saixi many times.

He will not go to the trouble of spreading the skills at this time to provoke the other party's sensitive nerves.

When the two are together, they mainly wander around the sea.

He even often hides his cultivation and mixes with ordinary sea people, goes out to sea with them, trades with them, and fishes for seafood together.

When facing ordinary people, there is no need to use masks and the like, and it is enough to easily create an illusion with the help of mental power.

With the strength of the two of them, their true bodies will never be discovered.

Su Cheng is certainly not doing useless work.

On the contrary, this matter is very important.

In this way, while deepening the emotional bond between Bo Saixi and the sea people, it also makes it easier for him to observe the changes in the other party's mentality from a closer distance.

Accompanying Poseidon to completely integrate into the civilian population is a key part of the plan.

From persuading him to go down the mountain at the beginning to going out to sea now, everything is progressive.

However, as the high priest of the Sea God Island, Poseidon does not follow Su Cheng around all day long. It is the limit for him to go out for a few months a year.

The rest of the time, Su Cheng is free to act.

At this time, he will teach the Xiantian Gong method to a large number of Mingjiao members.

Whenever he is present, with his strong soul power supplemented by a small amount of invisible drugs, the speed at which ordinary people breed soul power will be greatly accelerated.

As he personally wanders among the believers, the scale of the Mingjiao has begun to continue to expand.

But this is not the most important thing. After all, in the more than ten years since he left, the sphere of influence of the Mingjiao has already covered the entire sea.

The key lies in the spiritual firmness of these people, which can be said to have been leapfrogged, and the number of core members has increased dramatically.

In the past, although there were many peripheral members in the Mingjiao, many of them came only to seek shelter.

By now, the number of core members who truly recognized the teachings of the Ming Cult has reached nearly one million.

For Su Cheng, this is enough.

These people are determined and have pure beliefs, and they can play a key role in the future.

In addition, he had taken the time to sneak into the Sea God Island several times.

This action can be hidden from others, but not from Bo Saixi, so he always went to the Sea God Holy Pillar in the name of seeing Lorelai.

During these several visits to the island, he made a deeper analysis of the Seven Holy Pillars.

The function of the Seven Holy Pillars is to protect the island and provide a place for the Holy Pillar Douluo to recuperate.

They can form a huge formation with each other. Once connected, even if Su Cheng uses all his strength, he may not be able to destroy it. Even its defense is better than the Sea God Mountain in the center of the Sea God Island.

In an emergency, it is likely that the accumulated power of faith can be used to communicate with the Sea God, which is very dangerous.

However, the core of this thing lies in the power of faith. As for other structures, it is not difficult to destroy them from the inside, but it takes some time.

It's a pity that Su Cheng in the simulation doesn't have a weapon like the True Vision Eye, otherwise he wouldn't have to work so hard to study the Seven Sacred Pillars, and it would be much easier to destroy them.

I will make up for what I owe. I've been simulating the ending and transition plot these two days, so I'm writing slowly. I'll update later.
