Xu Sheng, upon hearing this, explained truthfully, "I lost my way while navigating the sea, and it seems that this area has been subjected to magic, which is why I wanted to use the Boundless Universe Shield to conceal my presence and pass directly through this area!"
The Sea God became even more astonished; not only did the former know he was the Sea God, but he also knew the purpose of the Boundless Universe Shield was to conceal one's form...
This made him even more curious, and he decided to ask the other gods about it afterward!
With this thought in mind, he immediately gave an answer, "No problem, use the Boundless Universe Shield however you wish to use it!"
Xu Sheng nodded slightly, "Then thank you, Sea God. If there's a chance, I will pass this item on to your Successor!"
"If there's nothing else, then I will leave this space!"
The Sea God also knew that if the former wanted to leave this Spiritual Space, he himself had no way to stop him!
But he still couldn't help but say, "Wait, being able to obtain the Boundless Universe Shield indicates that you have a destiny with me, are you interested in inheriting my godhood?"
The talent and strength of the former had already far surpassed those whom he had considered!
Therefore, why not try to let him inherit the Sea God's godhood, perhaps he could even become a Divine King in the future!
Upon hearing this, Xu Sheng tactfully refused the request, "Sea God, thank you for your kindness, but someone has already prepared a godhood for me, so I must respectfully decline!"
The Sea God showed a look of regret, "As I thought, I've been refused. Then let's pretend I didn't say anything!"
Subsequently, his phantom began to dissipate gradually, and the whole Spiritual Space collapsed instantly...
Back in reality, Xu Sheng immediately felt someone shaking his shoulders vigorously...
Without a doubt, it was Gui Mei!
"Xu Sheng, Xu Sheng! What's wrong with you? Say something!"
Xu Sheng brushed his hand away, somewhat puzzled, "Elder Gui? What are you doing?"
Getting a response, Gui Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief, rolled his eyes, and explained, "You're asking me? Just now I sensed an extremely powerful spiritual power, so I specifically came to tell you!"
"After that, I saw you standing here like a fool, not responding no matter how much I called, as if you had lost your soul!"
Xu Sheng mused, "Is that so? I didn't sense any strong spiritual power; maybe it was just a misconception on your part, Elder Gui."
He guessed that he had been preoccupied with communicating with the Sea God in the Spiritual Space, thus blocking out his perception of the outside world...
Gui Mei gave him a suspicious look, "Really? Then why didn't you respond no matter how much I called you before?"
The state he was in almost scared Gui Mei witless!
If something had happened to Xu Sheng, how would he explain it to Your Holiness?
Xu Sheng coughed behind his hand and explained, "I... I was just fascinated by the sea and was daydreaming, that's all!"
Seeing that his expression was normal, Gui Mei decided not to pursue the matter further, "I hope so. But you should be careful; I really did sense a strong spiritual power before!"
Xu Sheng responded naturally to him, "Hmm, I'll take note of that. Thank you for the reminder, Elder Gui!"
That spiritual power was most likely the temporary release of the Sea God's Mark from the Boundless Universe Shield!
Having said that, he looked at the Boundless Universe Shield in his hand...
Slowly releasing his Soul Power afterward, it immediately emitted a beam of light, instantly covering the entire ship...
Although it seemed no different from before, in the eyes of the sea soul beasts, the entire ship's appearance and aura had vanished completely!
This action raised Gui Mei's eyebrows, "Oh? You've finally decided to use this thing?"
He hadn't used it even when they encountered a soul beast with nearly two hundred thousand Cultivation Level before, but now he had activated it voluntarily!
Xu Sheng used his spiritual power to confirm the effect of the Boundless Universe Shield, and then noncommittally said, "Hm, now is the time to use it. After all, the seas ahead will be mixed with even larger sea soul beasts. To be on the safe side, we must proceed with caution!"
The fear of the sea soul beasts launching an attack was a facade, the real purpose was for the spellcasters behind to lose their target!!
...
Sea God's Island!!
Poseissi looked at the image of the ships reflected in the crystal, which disappeared without warning...
She was somewhat astonished and said, "Hm? How could the target suddenly disappear? And there's not even a trace of their presence!"
It must be understood that she possessed the Sea God Martial Soul, capable of controlling everything in the ocean...
But now, the very ship she had her sights on had vanished into thin air, something that couldn't help but give rise to deep contemplation...
Seeing this, the maid beside her asked out of curiosity, "Grand Elder, what happened??"
If I didn't see wrong, a look of astonishment passed fleetingly across the Grand Elder's face...
Poseissi for once did not respond cryptically, but instead said with a light laugh, "I have discovered something very interesting!"
"Somebody in the ocean has eluded my search, even managing to hide the entire ship..."
The maid, having heard this, glanced towards the empty sea in the crystal...
She asked in surprise, "High Priest, could it be possible that they were killed by sea soul beasts in the ocean??"
If they died in the ocean, they would quickly sink to the depths...
Even someone as powerful as the High Priest could not monitor every single area!
Poseissi shook her head, "Impossible, the entire ship disappeared in an instant. They must have used some sort of method to accomplish this."
Moreover, it gave her a strong sense of familiarity...
The maid's gaze turned colder, "High Priest, allowing such a person to travel in our ocean seems dangerous. Should we send someone to deal with them??"
Anyone able to avoid the High Priest's detection and conceal their ship's form must be strong!
If their purpose is related to Sea God's Island, it could potentially have a significant impact!
However, Poseissi shook her head, rejecting the suggestion, "There's no need. If even I can't detect their presence, it would be a waste of time for others!"
"Forget it, let it be. I can sense that the other party probably has no ill intentions!"
Although she had lost sight of the target in the ocean, she would definitely be the first to know if they appeared on Sea God's Island!!
Therefore, she wasn't expecting any surprises...
Hearing this, the maid did not say anything more, "Yes, High Priest!"
If the High Priest said so, then there must be absolute confidence!
It was better not to speak up unnecessarily and avoid causing trouble!
Poseissi also changed the topic, "By the way, how are things with the Soul Masters coming and going from Sea God's Island??"
The other replied respectfully, "Reporting to the High Priest, there haven't been many Soul Masters coming and going to Sea God's Island recently, the majority have been turned away!"
"And those who wanted to try to sneak onto Sea God's Island have been punished!!"
"Very well, if someone has come to Sea God's Island unintentionally, send them away. However, if they come with a purpose, there is no need to hold back!!"
