Chapter 2341: Chapter 2361: The Sea God Actually Exists?_1

"Let’s set sail!"

Gu Yuexi stood excitedly at the prow of the flying boat, stretching her arm forward and shouting loudly, like an ecstatic child.

Lin Chen could not help but smile, yet he understood her exuberance. After all, since she came to the Immortal Leisure Island, it had been almost twenty years since she had left the island.

For an immortal, twenty years isn’t really a long time; it could pass in the blink of an eye. But Gu Yuexi grew up in the Human World and was accustomed to the lively bustle of urban life. This was an impression deep in her bones, and it wasn’t something that could be changed just because she had experienced life in the Immortal Realm.

To truly change, it would probably take tens of thousands of years, long enough for the earliest memories to become incredibly vague.

Although Gu Yuexi had traveled across the Three Realms with Lin Chen, her upbringing was relatively sheltered. In the Cang Mountain and Divine Wood Palace, she was trained as a core disciple and naturally never experienced much hardship, allowing her lively nature to be preserved.

Lin Chen teased, "Xiaoxi, you’re so eager, we’re like country bumpkins heading into the city."

Gu Yuexi giggled, "I haven’t shopped for clothes in so long, this time I’m going to shop till I drop!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Yeah, that’s true. We’ve stayed on the island for quite a while. Let’s enjoy a good stroll this time."

After a bit of teasing, people started discussing the current sect rivalry.

"Brother Chen, who do you think will win the dispute between the Three Sects and the Sea God Sect?"

Lin Chen, sitting cross-legged on the flying boat, casually responded, "How would I know? The Three Sects are indeed formidable, but as the Northern Sea’s largest sect, the Sea God Sect has countless followers and many powerhouses. Who can say who will win or lose?"

Gu Yuexi wore a gossipy expression, "The Three Sects have a long history, their Buddha Master, Taoist Master, and Sect Hierarch should all be gone by now, right? But I heard that the Sea God of the Sea God Sect has always existed..."

Lin Chen turned his head in slight surprise, "Who told you that?"

"Aunt Lan," she replied.

Gu Yuexi continued, "At that time, while you guys were busy, I was chatting with Uncle Yao and Aunt Lan along with Xuan Ji. We talked about the Sea God Sect, and I casually asked who the Sea God was. I thought the Sea God was like the ancient beliefs of the Buddha Master, Taoist Master, and Sect Hierarch of the Three Sects, but Aunt Lan told me the Sea God truly exists."

Lin Chen had never inquired about this matter and asked curiously, "The Sea God Sect has a long history as well, right? Has the Sea God always been alive?"

Gu Yuexi shook her head, "I’m not sure about that, but Aunt Lan said the Sea God Sect operates differently from the Three Sects. Apparently, the Sea God is born from the worshippers’ faith. The more followers there are, the stronger the Sea God becomes. Moreover, once a follower reaches a certain status, they can request the Sea God’s intervention after offering certain conditions. The higher the follower’s status, the greater the required sacrifice, and the stronger the Sea God’s power that can be summoned."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened, "Is it really so transactional? The more reward you offer, the bigger the fight you get? The higher the reward, the fiercer the effort?"

Gu Yuexi was amused by his words, "If the price is right, immortals can be put to work, haha, I had the same reaction at first. I’m also curious, does requesting the Sea God’s intervention mean the Sea God’s combat strength is determined by the sacrifice made?"

Nalan Wushuang couldn’t help but chuckle, "Offer the standard price, get a projection of a peak Daluo Mysterious Immortal, ten times the price, get a projection of a peak Daluo Ultimate Immortal, a hundred times, a thousand times, starting directly with a Daluo Initial Immortal?"

Lin Chen became interested in the Sea God Sect and recalled the previous maritime assault, "In that case, the attackers back then probably weren’t from the Sea God Sect. Otherwise, even if they encountered resistance, they could just call upon a projection of the Sea God. If it were a peak Daluo Initial Immortal, wouldn’t they be able to crush the entire Sea King in minutes, killing everyone, with no one able to escape..."

"And that white-haired elder who was hunting and killing us, a Daluo Initial Immortal, was also severely wounded by Senior Liuyun in one move. If it really was the Sea God Sect, they wouldn’t have refrained from calling on the Sea God, allowing themselves to be blown up, would they?"

Pausing for a moment, Lin Chen curiously continued, "You just mentioned a sacrifice. Did you ask what the sacrifice was?"

Gu Yuexi shook her head, "I didn’t ask in detail."

Lin Chen didn’t seem disappointed and said with a laugh, "Well, there’s no rush. We’re going to watch them fight anyway. Even if others don’t understand, wouldn’t the Three Sects they’re going to fight know? We can ask them."

On their way, people didn’t delay, flying straight for a month and a half, and successfully arrived at Moon God Island.

The island had countless inhabitants, who lived off farming, mining, fishing, and so on. There were many cities, but the most prosperous naturally belonged to Moon City, near the Moon God Sect.

The clash between the Three Sects and the Sea God Sect was a collision between Eastern Brilliance and the Northern Sea and naturally attracted countless cultivators to watch the battle.

Although a conflict, it had become a major event in the Northern Sea.

Moon City was large, but all the inns were already full to the brim. A large number of cultivators had no choice but to reside in the wilderness areas.

Lin Chen and company did the same, strolling through the city for a while without finding accommodation and had to settle in a valley in the wilderness outside Moon City.

"There are more people than we thought. We can’t even find an inn, it seems we’ll have to sleep in the remote countryside..."
