Tuoba Yan respectfully said to Bo Saixi, "Senior, thank you for your trouble!"
Throughout the year, Bo Saixi stayed by Tuoba Yan and the others' side through thick and thin.
Although Bo Saixi had mastered the power of the sea, making her clothes impervious to rain, she certainly deserved credit for her hard work, even if she didn't achieve anything significant.
For a whole year, they remained loyal and dedicated, always conducting assessments for Tuoba Yan and his group.
For this hard work alone, Bo Saixi deserves Tuoba Yan's respect.
Xie Yue, Zhang Ping, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and the others all bowed respectfully at a ninety-degree angle to Bo Saixi.
"Thank you for your hard work, senior!"
Based on everyone's abilities, they should have been able to complete their assessments six months ago.
After more than half a year, they were already able to complete double the tidal body tempering.
But they didn't.
Following Tuoba Yan's advice, they deliberately kept the time spent on the tidal body tempering within the assessment period each day.
Assessments are rules, but they can also be used reasonably.
By making good use of the time, each of them extended the duration of their tidal body tempering. Their physical strength is now far greater than before, and also far greater than when they were able to complete the assessment.
However, Bo Saixi was tireless. Even though she knew that Tuoba Yan and the others were playing tricks and deliberately dragging out the time to avoid completing the assessment, she still patiently continued to accompany them in their Tidal Body Refinement.
For this hard work alone, Tuoba Yan and others deserve respect.
"You're too kind! The future of Sea God Island still depends on you."
Bo Saixi waved her hand, and a blue light enveloped Xie Yue and the others. Xie Yue and the others landed on their respective silver pillars, continuing to endure the impact of the waves.
The only exception was Tuoba Yan.
Tuoba Yan asked, "Senior, is there something you want to say to me alone?"
Bo Saixi nodded, turned her back to Tuoba Yan, and gazed at the distant Seagod Island, saying, "I know you are a Soul Master from the Spirit Hall."
"Um."
"You come from the Tuoba family."
"Um."
"You are the former Pope of the Spirit Hall."
"Um."
"You are still an honorary elder of the Spirit Hall's Elder Hall!"
"Um!"
"Decades ago, our Seagod Island and the Spirit Hall fought a battle. In that battle, the Spirit Hall suffered a crushing defeat. Although we won, it was not a glorious victory. Seagod Island possesses the Light of the Seagod, and at that time, we used the seven sacred pillars of Seagod Island to ultimately annihilate everyone except Qian Xunji!"
"Um!"
Tuoba Yan looked toward the Seahorse Sacred Pillar.
Outsiders don't know much about Sea God Island.
Sea God Island is the land of the gods. Sea God is not dead.
The realm of gods has its own rules. The gods of the realm of gods cannot actively interfere with the mortal realm.
Even if the Spirit Hall attacks Seagod Island, the Seagod cannot intervene.
If the seven guardians of the Seagod Island were to unite with Bo Saixi and form a formation, then Bo Saixi would be invincible below the gods.
No one knows how brutal that battle was back then.
Sea God Island won, but also suffered heavy casualties.
Bo Saixi turned around and said in an annoyed tone, "All you can do is 'hmm'?"
Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "You are my senior, and I am your junior. Listening to your words is a virtue I should possess."
Bo Saixi smiled and said, "I thought you would be emotionally affected. But you remained calm even when you heard about the conflict between Seagod Island and the Spirit Hall. You really surprised me. You truly deserve to be called a person with divine power!"
Tuoba Yan said, "Senior, you flatter me!"
Bo Saixi shook her head and said, "It is very rare for someone your age to have such insight. Tuoba Yan, I hope that the Spirit Hall is the Spirit Hall and Seagod Island is Seagod Island."
Tuoba Yan immediately understood and promised, "Senior, I understand what you mean. The existence of Seagod Island will not threaten my Spirit Hall. Qian Daoliu was wrong; he shouldn't have attacked Seagod Island for your sake."
Bo Saixi stared blankly at Tuoba Yan, and asked, "Did he tell you that?"
He refers to Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu was always infatuated with Bo Saixi.
While the Spirit Hall appeared to be launching an attack on Seagod Island in an attempt to take it over, in reality, Qian Daoliu's aim was Bo Saixi.
Sea God Island is located in the sea.
Any Sea Spirit Master who passes the Sea God's Trial is forbidden from leaving Sea God Island for their entire life. In other words, Sea God Island is like an ordinary person or a monk in a temple; it poses no threat to the Spirit Hall and does not conflict with its interests.
Here's the problem.
Why did the Spirit Hall expend so much effort to attack Seagod Island?
The main reason was Qian Daoliu's desire for Bo Saixi. The Spirit Hall's public declaration that it wanted to recruit sea spirit masters from the ocean was merely a pretext.
It's important to know that there are numerous Sea Spirit Masters in the ocean, scattered across many islands. The number of Sea Spirit Masters on Seagod Island is actually less than the number outside the island!
If the Spirit Hall really wanted to recruit Sea Spirit Masters, they wouldn't need to tackle the tough challenge of Seagod Island; they could simply recruit other Sea Spirit Masters on the open sea. Wouldn't that be much easier?
If you want to take over Sea God Island, you should first recruit the Sea Soul Masters to strengthen your ability to fight at sea, and then attack Sea God Island.
This is the best course of action.
But the Spirit Hall did not do that.
The Spirit Hall is full of talented people. Yet they didn't do it. Why? Because Qian Daoliu attacked Seagod Island for Bo Saixi's sake.
Tuoba Yan smiled faintly and said, "Senior, don't worry. I'm not very interested in Seagod Island. If possible, I'd rather treat Seagod Island as a sacred place for cultivation."
"I'm afraid I won't agree," Bo Saixi politely declined Tuoba Yan's offer.
Tuoba Yan laughed and said, "Senior, please don't refuse so quickly. There are benefits. For every person our Spirit Hall sends to Seagod Island for cultivation, we have to pay Seagod Island something of equal value. It could be a soul bone, medicinal herbs, or living resources. Of course, we can also directly pay Seagod Island a certain amount of gold soul coins. Here's the money, you can buy whatever you need yourself!"
Bo Saixi hesitated.
Sea God Island is like a secluded island, isolated from the world. It indeed lacks many resources for daily life.
Previously, these resources were supplied by pirates who worshipped the sea god. Now that the Spirit Hall has recruited the pirates from the sea, Bo Saixi fears that Seagod Island will lack essential resources in the future.
Tuoba Yan continued, "Senior, you can use some of the Sea God's supernatural powers. As the High Priest of the Sea God, you should know that gods need the power of faith. If such an agreement is reached with our Spirit Hall, not only the Sea Spirit Masters on the sea, but also the Land Spirit Masters will worship the Sea God. This would also be a good thing for the Sea God you believe in."
"Say yes!"
A voice from the realm of the gods resounded in Bo Saixi's mind.
The voice belonged to the sea god. Clearly, the sea god was moved.
