After confirming the island where the Golden Crow was located, Xu Yang and Chen Xin returned to the ship and began their voyage back to Douluo Continent. However, as they left, Xu Yang turned his gaze to the southwest, not to look at the Golden Crow again, but to estimate the distance from that island to the Sun Moon Continent.
They had set out from Douluo Continent, first heading south for over a month, and then southwest for more than two months, with a total sailing distance exceeding forty thousand nautical miles. Despite such a long journey, they were still at sea, with no signs of human habitation.
It should be known that the Soul Tool technology of the Sun Moon Continent far surpassed that of Douluo Continent, and their shipbuilding technology must also be far superior. Even they had not explored this sea area, which showed that it was still a considerable distance from the Sun Moon Continent.
He estimated the distance to the Sun Moon Continent because he was thinking of making a trip there in the future. As his cultivation improved, his ambitions were also stimulated. Some unrealistic fantasies from his past life resurfaced in his mind—namely, longevity and becoming a god.
The pursuit of longevity has always been ingrained in the bones of the Chinese people, and Xu Yang was no exception. However, when he first transmigrated, the difficulty of becoming a god in Douluo Continent was extremely high. Without a corresponding divine inheritance, it was almost impossible, so Xu Yang suppressed this unrealistic fantasy in his heart.
But now, whether in terms of realm, spirit, or body, he had reached the pinnacle of the continent, with the possibility of impacting the god level. The unrealistic thoughts he had suppressed were validated and naturally resurfaced.
After searching through his memories, he found that the only god position suitable for him seemed to be the Elemental Fire God, but that one didn't seem to have left any inheritance on the continent. So, he was left with only one possibility: to interfere with the development of the continent like the Sea God and absorb the power of faith to create his own god position.
However, the current faith of the people in Douluo Continent was in the Angel God, and there was a behemoth like the Spirit Hall. It would take too long to absorb enough faith from Douluo Continent, and it would only be possible after the Spirit Hall fell.
Now the plot of Douluo was already messed up, and it would be extremely difficult to overthrow the Spirit Hall, which had the inheritance of the Angel God.
As for waiting for Tang San to become a god, Xu Yang had never considered it.
First of all, he had already disrupted the plot and intercepted the most important Immortal Herb. Whether Tang San could become a god was another matter; more importantly, he and Tang San were now on opposite sides. It seemed that the two sides had not yet reached the point of mortal enemies, but with Tang San's brain circuits, he might come up with some extreme ideas.
So, his only choice was the Sun Moon Continent. As long as there was no Soul Master organization similar to the Spirit Hall based on faith on that continent, then he would have time to unify that continent and create his own god position with the power of faith.
But it was too early to say all this now. What he had to do now was to seize the time to improve his strength. His Soul Power was only one step away from reaching level sixty-six. As long as he cultivated for another week or two, he could completely break through.
After another three months of sailing, Xu Yang, in addition to cultivation, taught Ning Fengzhi, Madam Ning, Dugu Bo, and Chen Xin the cultivation method of the Great Sun Golden Body. In fact, the cultivation method of the Great Sun Golden Body was to use one's own attribute-containing Soul Power to temper the bones of the whole body in the manner of the Mysterious Jade Hand, and then temper the Viscera, Muscle, Fascia, and Skin and other human tissues from the inside out.
Because Xu Yang's body contained Sun Soul Power, he named it Great Sun Golden Body. As for the four people in front of him, their attributes were different, so he would let them choose their own names!
"Sect Leader, we only have half a day's sailing before we can return to the mainland."
Soon, the group arrived at the port of Zhenchi City again. The feeling of being on solid ground made everyone feel at ease. Then, not wanting to stay by the sea for even a moment, they set off for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, while inquiring about the news during this time through the intelligence network.
Fortunately, nothing major had happened to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Nothing bad had happened because Ning Fengzhi was away.
It was just that when the group returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they were greeted by Ning Rongrong's unhappy expression. After seeing everyone, she snorted twice and turned her head away, ignoring them.
Ning Fengzhi, Xu Yang, and Chen Xin exchanged glances, their faces full of awkward smiles. They had been gone for a full half a year, and anyone would be worried and scared. Getting angry was a small matter, especially for Ning Rongrong, who had been spoiled since childhood.
"Rongrong, Daddy was wrong. It will definitely not be so long next time!"
"What?! Daddy, you still want a next time."
"No, how is that possible! There is no next time!"
...
This time Ning Rongrong was really angry, and even ignored Xu Yang. Several times Xu Yang wanted to reach out to comfort her, but Ning Rongrong dodged, turned her head away, and turned her back, ignoring him. Fortunately, Xu Yang, as a modern person, had many ways to coax people, and it took him a few days to make Ning Rongrong stop being angry, but he also agreed to some unequal conditions.
"Brother, I haven't been out since I came back from Shrek Academy last time. Take me to Heaven Dou City for a stroll!"
"Okay!"
Hearing Ning Rongrong's request, Xu Yang also stopped cultivating. After a simple tidying up, the two set off for Heaven Dou City, secretly followed by Ning Haiyan. The current Ning Haiyan was already an eighty-eighth level Soul Douluo, and his combat power was comparable to some ninety-one or two level Titled Douluos.
If the medicinal effect of the Ninth Grade Purple Ganoderma was not as good as the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, he might have become a Titled Douluo by now. However, he was not far from becoming a Titled Douluo at this time, and he would be able to break through after two more years of cultivation. Now he was already trying to condense a Soul Core.
"La la!"
Ning Rongrong was very happy, skipping and jumping on the streets of Heaven Dou City, looking at this and touching that, buying whatever she liked without hesitation, not caring about the price at all.
"Brother, pay up!"
"Brother, I want this too!"
...
And Xu Yang became a heartless money-extracting machine, honestly following beside Ning Rongrong. This was also one of the unequal conditions: to accompany Ning Rongrong shopping without complaint, unable to grumble. This also reminded him of the past, when he seemed to always start complaining after only a short time accompanying Ning Rongrong shopping.
"This time, I'll accompany her properly!"
Xu Yang abandoned the distracting thoughts in his heart, following behind Ning Rongrong with a relaxed expression. Just as the two were strolling, on a street in the distance, a girl with an explosive figure, an icy face, and dressed in black was walking down the street, but with a slightly lost look in her eyes, wandering aimlessly, clearly thinking about something.
"Zhu Qing, here..." Seeing the girl, Ning Rongrong was very happy, waving her little hand to greet her.
