Since he already had Sea God's recognition, going to Sea God Island held no danger at all for Chen Ming.
Qian Daoliu felt that no matter how much a high priest did not want to die, they should still have some trust and devotion toward their own god. They would never mind offering everything for their god, right?
Chen Ming going to Sea God Island was simply a wonderful thing.
Qian Daoliu readily agreed to Chen Ming's request. He promised that once Chen Ming was ready, they would immediately head to Sea God Island.
Qian Daoliu would personally take Chen Ming there to ask for a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring. After all, the divine weapon was now in Chen Ming's hands. Taking a mere God-Bestowed Spirit Ring should be very simple, right?
Qian Daoliu knew very well that on Sea God Island, God-Bestowed Spirit Rings were not nearly as rare as they were in Spirit Hall.
Basically, as long as one had not made some huge mistake or performed so badly that it was unbearable to watch, any Spirit Master could go there and get one. Even land Spirit Masters who went there could accept divine trials. It was just that the difficulty would be higher.
However, compared to land Spirit Masters, the talent of sea Spirit Masters was much worse.
At the very least, if Spirit Hall could hand out God-Bestowed Spirit Rings in batches like Sea God Island did, then Qian Daoliu felt that the current Worships of Spirit Hall would each have at least one hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring as a baseline.
...
When Xiao Wu saw the person Chen Ming had brought, a trace of confusion appeared on her face.
Looking at the young Qian Daoliu, Xiao Wu felt puzzled from the bottom of her heart.
"Do we really need an outsider to watch this? Isn't that a little bad? Isn't this kind of private?"
Xiao Wu still remembered that she was a transformed hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast.
Although there was no need to hide anything from Chen Ming anymore, if an outsider saw her identity as a transformed hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, there was a high chance they would be tempted.
After all, even if the collar around her neck could block her hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast aura, even if it could stop a Titlde Douluo from seeing through her origin, the act of condensing a Spirit Ring was still far too obvious, right?
Even without any aura, basically anyone could directly guess that she was a transformed hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, right?
"This is Spirit Hall's strongest expert, Grand Worship Qian Daoliu. He has received divine trials and possesses demigod power. He is a level 99 Limit Douluo known throughout the world as invincible in the sky."
"He is the true strongest person on Douluo Continent right now. Someone like him won't covet your hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring or Spirit Bone."
"Spirit Hall's Grand Worship?"
Xiao Wu's pupils shrank, and she finally remembered something she had never thought about all this time.
Chen Ming's identity was still connected to Spirit Hall.
Although he did not attack her, if she wanted to take revenge on Spirit Hall's pope in the future, could Chen Ming really pretend not to see it?
Even if Chen Ming could turn a blind eye, could this Grand Worship really allow her, a transformed hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, to attack the pope?
"The relationship between the Grand Worship and the pope isn't very good. There are also some private grudges between them."
"Right now, the two sides can't exactly be called fire and water, but they're at least in a state where one cannot exist with the other."
Chen Ming spoke and gave Xiao Wu a reminder.
"Oh, oh, I get it. This is one of those adult matters, right?"
After spending so many years in the human world, Xiao Wu had seen plenty of humans fighting among themselves. With that connection, she naturally linked the matter to those dirty affairs between adults.
But the key point was, in a sense, Xiao Wu was actually not wrong.
Neither Chen Ming nor Qian Daoliu could open their mouths to deny it, because this really was something related to adult matters. If it had not involved that kind of adult topic, the two sides might not have reached this point today.
The credit Qian Daoliu had built up over a lifetime of good deeds had been completely wiped out in one go by that wasteful thing, Qian Xunji.
It could be said that if he had no child, Qian Daoliu would have no face to meet his ancestors after death.
But with an unlucky son like Qian Xunji, forget after death. Qian Daoliu already felt that he had lost face before his ancestors while still alive.
If not for his identity as the high priest, which meant he could not simply die and be done with it, and if not for the fact that he still had a granddaughter, Qian Daoliu might have already ended himself.
"Then I'll start advancing?" Xiao Wu confirmed again.
"Show us the process of condensing your Spirit Ring right here. The two of us will observe. I already have some guesses about the structure of Spirit Rings. By watching you directly condense one, I might gain some inspiration."
"After a while, I also need to look for a god's inheritance and see what difference there is between a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring and a Spirit Ring dropped by a Spirit Beast on Douluo Continent."
"Maybe one day, Spirit Beast Spirit Rings will be eliminated."
Although Spirit Rings from Spirit Beasts were good, they were definitely not the best method.
In the original story, as time passed, humans developed Spirit Rings further. First, Spirit Rings changed into Spirit Souls. Then came artificial Spirit Souls, Spirit Soul evolution, and a whole series of other technologies.
Artificial Spirit Souls, reviving ancient Spirit Beasts to use as Spirit Souls, creating special inherited Spirit Souls…
These things were completely different from normal Spirit Rings.
The Spirit Rings gained through these technologies were better than traditional Spirit Rings in both strength and efficiency, even when compared to Spirit Rings from the sacrifice of hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts.
The greatest advantage of Spirit Rings was that they were simple and convenient. They allowed a Spirit Master to take the essence of a Spirit Beast's cultivation and bloodline power in the simplest and most direct way, then merge it into themselves.
The weakness was that the conversion efficiency was far too low compared to the Spirit Beast's actual cultivation.
If he could figure out the principle behind how Spirit Rings gathered, then in the future, whatever Spirit Ring Chen Ming wanted, he could find a way to make it himself.
Under the intense attention of Chen Ming and Qian Daoliu, Xiao Wu removed the collar that hid her aura and began the process of condensing her Spirit Ring inside the quiet room.
Because a Spirit Ring condensed by a Spirit Beast itself placed far less burden on the body than absorbing an outside Spirit Ring, with the same physical quality, the age of the Spirit Ring Xiao Wu could carry was actually far beyond that of a normal Spirit Master.
It was just that because she worried her Spirit Rings would be too obvious and expose her identity, Xiao Wu still had some concerns when condensing them.
For example, this world's Xiao Wu had condensed a thousand-year second Spirit Ring because Chen Ming's existence proved that absorbing a thousand-year Spirit Ring as the second ring was possible.
Without Chen Ming's case, even if Xiao Wu could condense a thousand-year second Spirit Ring, she would not have stood out by doing it.
Instead, she would have honestly made a yellow Spirit Ring of eight or nine hundred years and acted more or less like a normal Spirit Master.
