Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Blue Silver Grass, Simulating Godhood

The simulation is still ongoing.

You rode your swift horse westward, traveling day and night, and after seven days, you finally arrived at Hanhai City, the largest coastal city on the west coast of Douluo Continent.

The air in this city is filled with the salty, damp scent of the sea. Merchants, fishermen, and soul masters come and go in an endless stream. Hundreds of ships of all sizes are moored in the harbor, their masts forming a forest, creating a bustling scene.

Instead of rushing out to sea, you found an inconspicuous inn in the city and settled in, beginning a month-long period of preparation.

You repeatedly studied the section about the isolated islands overseas from Zhao Wu's biography, confirming the coordinates, navigation routes, and potential dangers. Then you began a massive procurement spree: fresh water, dry rations, cured meat, medicine, ropes, flint, spare clothing… You stuffed your storage ring to the brim, ensuring that you wouldn't have any supply problems even if you were at sea for three months.

But you know, supplies alone aren't enough. The sea is different from land; it has undercurrents, storms, reefs, and countless sea monsters—any one of which could kill someone as small as you.

So you spent a fortune to find the most famous old helmsman in Hanhai City, surnamed Zheng, known as Old Devil Zheng, who was said to have made a living at sea for forty years without ever capsizing.

You lied, claiming to be the young master of a merchant guild, sent on a solo voyage to test his courage and skills. Old Master Zheng was skeptical, but his doubts vanished after you offered him fifty gold soul coins as tuition.

For the next month, you'll go out to sea with Old Man Zheng every day, learning to identify wind direction, judge tides, steer and sail, navigate by stargazing, and how to deal with the most dangerous sea monster hordes.

[You studied very diligently, even carving every key point onto the wooden board with a dagger. Back at the inn at night, you would repeatedly memorize and ponder it. At first, Old Zheng thought you were just a rich young master dabbling in this, but seeing your relentless effort, he took you to heart and taught you even more meticulously, even revealing some of his most treasured skills.]

A month later, you completed your apprenticeship. Old Master Zheng patted you on the shoulder and said, "Young Master, you are the most talented student I have ever taught. If you encounter any insurmountable obstacles at sea, remember that survival is the most important thing. You can buy another ship if you lose it, but if you lose your life, you lose everything."

You thanked him earnestly and gave him an extra ten gold soul coins as a token of your gratitude, which Old Ghost Zheng accepted with a smile.

The next day, you spent 300 gold soul coins at the port to buy a medium-sized sailboat. The hull was sturdy, the draft was deep, and most importantly, the hull was lined with iron plates, which could withstand the bites of low-level sea spirit beasts to some extent.

You named the ship "Wavebreaker," carefully inspected every knot in the mooring lines and every plank of the hull, and after confirming everything was in order, you set sail alone on the morning of the third day, heading towards the vast ocean.

As you left the port of Hanhai City, you glanced back at the receding coastline. Your heart felt no fear, only anticipation. You knew that ahead lay not only the treasure left by Zhao Wu, but also the starting point for your true rise.

For the first few days after setting sail, the seas were calm. You steered the ship according to the method taught by Old Man Zheng, using the sun to determine direction during the day and the stars to locate yourself at night. Everything went smoothly.

However, on the seventh day, trouble struck. A school of sawfish with sharp teeth targeted your boat. Each of these creatures was half a meter long, and several had a hundred years of cultivation. They frantically rammed the hull, trying to tear the metal sheeting apart.

You snorted coldly, calmly walked to the ship's side, raised your right hand, and several golden vines shot out like pythons—your first soul skill, Vajra Constriction. The vines precisely wrapped around the first few saw-toothed fish, twisting them violently, staining the sea red with blood. The other saw-toothed fish, smelling the blood of their own kind, not only did not retreat but instead charged forward even more frantically.

[You attacked in succession, killing more than twenty sawfish, including one that was three hundred years old. The sawfish under one hundred years old were finally frightened and scattered. You retracted the vines, scooped up a few sawfish with better meat and put them on the ship as provisions, washed the bloodstains on the deck with seawater, and continued sailing.]

In the days that followed, you encountered several more waves of sea spirit beasts. A hundred-year-old giant sea turtle tried to capsize your ship, but you used your Vajra Constrictor to entangle its limbs and kill it with a single strike. There was also a swarm of jellyfish that could spray venom, but you had already woven a large net with vines to block the venom from entering the ship. You then used the vines to strangle the jellyfish to death.

Although these battles were swift and safe, they also made you realize that the deeper you go into the sea, the older and more numerous the sea spirit beasts become, and the stronger they grow. You must reach that isolated island before they pose a truly deadly threat.

A month later, after countless small-scale battles, three storms, and a near-ship-shattering encounter with a group of reefs, you finally spot a lush, green island on the vast blue sea.

You excitedly gripped the helm, accelerating towards the island. As you approached, you discovered it was larger than you'd imagined, covered in lush vegetation, and surrounded by crystal-clear waters where you could see colorful corals and swimming fish.

You found a natural harbor, secured the Wavebreaker, and carefully checked the island for signs of large spirit beast activity before setting foot on its isolated land.

You take a deep breath of the sea breeze, carrying the fresh scent of plants, and a weight lifts from your heart. Taking out Zhao Wu's biography and comparing it with the terrain descriptions and coordinates, you spend half a day traversing dense jungles and climbing over a small hill, finally stopping before a moss-covered cliff face.

You reach out and push aside the thick vines, revealing a stone door sealed off by a giant boulder. A groove is carved into the doorway, its shape exactly matching your token.

You take a deep breath, press the token into the groove, and with a muffled rumble, the stone door slowly slides open to the sides, revealing a deep passage behind. You raise your hand and conjure a blue silver grass vine, letting it lead the way, and follow closely behind, step by step, into the passage.

At the end of the passage was a spacious stone chamber. The walls of the chamber were polished to a very smooth finish. In the corner were several wooden shelves and stone platforms of different sizes, and on them, neatly arranged, was the very thing you had been dreaming of.

On the far left stone platform, there are dozens of jade boxes and porcelain bottles, containing various dried or sealed spiritual herbs and medicines. Even through the boxes, you can smell the rich aroma of the herbs. In addition, there are some pills.
