Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

So for the rest of the time, apart from Ning Xingchen and the other two, the others stayed in their rooms taking whale gelatin to improve themselves.

On the morning of the third day, Ning Xingchen and his group arrived at the dock of Hanhai City.

Ning Dingling glanced back and said, "It seems Yueyue's parents don't agree. Xingchen, let's get ready to go."

The ship is ready, the nautical chart is ready, showing the location of Poseidon Island; everything is prepared.

Ning Xingchen stood by the dock, also preparing to take out the Dragon Abyss Boat.

Just as he took it out, a large ship, about 100 meters long and 30 meters wide, began to slowly approach Ning Xingchen's direction.

On the large ship, a woman called out loudly, "Sister Ling, Brother Ning, I'm here."

Who else could be speaking but Hai Mingyue?

"The whaling ship of Hanhai Pavilion!"

Before Ning Xingchen could even speak, people nearby started talking about it.

"Xingchen, who is this?" Ah Yin and Liu Erlong both looked at Ning Xingchen with curiosity.

Ning Xingchen said, "Her name is Hai Mingyue. I met her when my sister and I went to buy whale glue."

About ten minutes later, the whaling boat docked.

"Sister Ling, Brother Ning, my dad and mom both agreed, and they even said they'd give us a ride." Hai Mingyue ran excitedly to Ning Xingchen and Ning Dingling after getting off the boat.

Following closely behind Hai Mingyue were three more people, two men and one woman.

The man in the lead looked to be in his forties, the woman to his left behind him was about thirty, and the man on the other side was older, looking to be in his fifties or sixties.

"Sister Ling, Brother Ning, let me introduce you. This is my father, Hai Dafu, a level 76 Soul Saint. Next to him is my mother, Xi Yun, a level 72 Soul Saint. And this is our family's enshrined servant, Luo Changtian, a level 85 Soul Douluo."

After Hai Mingyue finished her introduction, she noticed that her parents and the other two bowed to Ning Dingling, which puzzled her.

"Greetings, Sect Master Ning, Senior Sword Douluo, Senior Bone Douluo," the three said simultaneously.

Ning Dingling asked in surprise, "You know us?"

Hai Dafu said, "Xi Yun and I traveled inland many years ago and visited Tiandou City once. At that time, we saw Sect Master Ning and Senior Sword Douluo from a distance."

"I see!" Ning Dingling's doubts were finally dispelled.

It's not surprising that Hanhai Pavilion, being the largest merchant in Hanhai City, travels to various parts of the mainland.

So Ning Dingling introduced Ning Xingchen and the others to Hai Dafu and the others, but only mentioned their names and did not mention their soul power.

After exchanging greetings with everyone, Hai Dafu invited them to board the whale-hunting ship.

"Everyone, this is the whale-hunting ship that our Hanhai Pavilion spent nearly two million gold soul coins to build. It can be said to be the best and most sturdy ship in Hanhai City."

"The Whale Hunter Ship is 108 meters long and 32 meters wide at its widest point. It is equipped with a defensive array that can withstand the attacks of thousand-year-old soul beasts when activated. The hull and surface of the ship are covered with a special metal that can withstand the attacks of ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. These metal structures are the most expensive parts of my Whale Hunter Ship."

"We've heard that Sect Leader Ning is heading to Seagod Island. We can escort you there, but we won't dare get too close. At most, we'll take you to a point ten nautical miles from Seagod Island."

At Ning Xingchen's instruction, Ning Dingling replied, "Then thank you very much, Pavilion Master Hai."

Hai Dafu said, "No need to thank me. Actually... I also have a favor to ask. My daughter Yueyue should have told you all that my eldest daughter, Hai Minglan, went to Seagod Island six thousand years ago and we still don't know if she's alive or dead. Yueyue misses her sister and has been determined to go to Seagod Island for the past two years. I can stop her for a while, but I can't stop her forever. Even if she doesn't go today, she might sneak away someday."

"Please take my daughter with you, Sect Leader Ning, and while you're at it, could you please check on her sister's condition and, if possible, take care of her as well?"

"I know that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not short of gold soul coins. Here are fifty pieces of ten-thousand-year whale glue. I hope you can accept them, Sect Master Ning."

Fifty palm-sized pieces of the ancient whale glue are worth over a million gold soul coins.

Hai Dafu took out two large boxes, each containing twenty-five smaller boxes, and each box contained a piece of whale glue.

"This……"

Ning Dingling looked at the fifty pieces of whale glue and felt a little touched.

After all, she had already cleared out all the Ten Thousand Year Whale Glue at Hanhai Pavilion, which was only a dozen or so pieces.

Right now, Hai Dafu took out fifty yuan.

As Hai Mingyue had said before, if their whale-hunting ship was unlucky, they might not be able to hunt down a single ten-thousand-year-old whale soul beast in a year, and a ten-thousand-year-old whale soul beast only yielded one piece of whale glue.

Of course, this piece of whale glue is not just the size of a palm; this palm size is just the size that their Hanhai Pavilion cut it into.

Depending on the type of whale spirit beast, the size of the whale glue that condenses in its body varies. Just fifty palm-sized pieces of whale glue might require hunting down several ten-thousand-year-old whale spirit beasts.

"Please accept this, Sect Leader Ning. As long as you can bring my daughter back, I will give half of the whale glue that my Hanhai Pavilion obtains to Sect Leader Ning and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School." Hai Dafu said again, he was really going all out.

Ning Dingling said, "Sect Master Hai, there's no need for that. I promised to take Yueyue to Sea God Island. If your daughter is still here, we'll try our best to bring her back when we leave."

"Then thank you very much, Sect Master Ning!"

Ning Dingling smiled and said, "We can discuss cooperation later. Hunting whale-type soul beasts is not easy for you. My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not let anyone who cooperates with us suffer losses."

"Please accept these fifty pieces of whale glue, Sect Leader Ning," Hai Dafu and the two women behind him said once again.

“Alright, I’ll accept it for now. If I can’t bring your daughter back, I’ll return these fifty pieces of whale glue to you,” Ning Dingling said.

"Thank you, Sect Master Ning." Hai Dafu and the other two bowed and thanked him again.

"By the way, our trip to Poseidon Island is estimated to last about four years, so you'll have to wait a bit. Also, please don't reveal our whereabouts to anyone," Ning Dingling said.

"Sect Leader Ning, we are aware of this and will absolutely not reveal any information about you to anyone," Hai Dafu replied earnestly.

"In that case, we can set off. At the speed of my whaling ship, we should be able to get there in a little over two weeks."

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will first take you to the lounge of my whaling ship, and then my wife Xi Yun will tell you about the things you need to pay attention to when sailing at sea."

Hai Dafu took good care of Ning Xingchen and the others, perhaps because he knew that Ning Dingling had a powerful Sword Douluo by her side.

After all, there wasn't a single Title Douluo in their Hanhai City; the highest level they reached was only level 89, and this level 89 was already quite old.

Besides this Soul Douluo, there are two other Soul Douluos in the entire Hanhai City: one is their family's level 85 Elder, and the other is the level 82 Soul Douluo in the City Lord's Mansion.

There wasn't a single Title Douluo, and even one Title Douluo was enough to raze their Hanhai City to the ground, let alone a powerful Sword Douluo.

Having traveled the continent in his early years, he had naturally heard of Sword Douluo's reputation. In addition, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had a good reputation, so he was willing to take a gamble and let his youngest daughter, Hai Mingyue, go with him.

Besides searching for the eldest daughter, this might also be an opportunity for the younger daughter, since the place they went to was Poseidon Island.

On the enormous whale-hunting ship, everyone felt completely at ease. They weren't afraid of ordinary sea spirit beasts, and even less of the pirates. After all, those pirates weren't stupid; they knew that no one would dare to mess with the whale-hunting ship of the Vast Ocean Pavilion.

Thus, Ning Xingchen and his group of nine spent ten days peacefully on the whale-hunting ship.

However, on the morning of the eleventh day, the whaling ship suddenly shook violently, as if it had been hit by something.

"Oh no, it's a pod of whales! A pod of whales!"

Ning Xingchen and his group immediately went out of the cabin and onto the deck. They saw that the area beneath the whale-hunting ship was teeming with whale-like spirit beasts, which were systematically attacking the whale-hunting ship where Ning Xingchen was located.

Chapter 104 Arrival at Poseidon Island, the Sea Maiden's Sacred Pillar

There were about twenty whale-like spirit beasts under the ship, the longest being fifteen or sixteen meters long, and even the shortest was about ten meters long.

"Damn it, this is a pod of Angry Sea Gray Whales. A month ago, they hunted down a lone Angry Sea Gray Whale, and they've definitely come for revenge!" Hai Dafu shouted.

Ning Xingchen and the others have learned a lot about sea spirit beasts through the books provided by Hai Dafu these past few days, with whale-type spirit beasts being the most numerous.

The Grey Whale of the Angry Sea is one of them; those over ten meters long are all over ten thousand years old.

For every additional meter of length beyond ten meters, the lifespan increases by ten thousand years, meaning that the maximum lifespan of this group of Angry Sea Gray Whales is fifty to sixty thousand years.

And these twenty-odd animals are all over 10,000 years old.

Each of the ancient gray whales weighs over thirty tons. If the whaling boat hadn't been so sturdy, it might have been smashed to pieces upon impact with such a behemoth.

Even so, the whaling vessel was damaged by the impact of so many angry gray whales.

Fortunately, Hai Dafu and others intervened in time, and the damage did not seem to be too severe.

Aside from Luo Changtian and Xi Yun, whom Ning Xingchen had met, the entire whale-hunting ship also contained three Soul Saints and more than ten Soul Emperors.

The rest were all Soul Kings and Soul Masters, not a single Soul Venerable. The entire whale-hunting ship was filled with elites, and hundreds of Soul Masters were releasing Soul Skills all around to bombard the raging gray whales that were coming to crash into them.

One soul skill after another was unleashed, but it had no effect whatsoever on the raging gray whales below that were going berserk.

Seeing Hai Mingyue's serious expression, Ning Dingling asked, "Yueyue, is there a problem?"

Hai Mingyue said, "Sister Ling, this time the Angry Sea Gray Whale seems a bit different. It seems to have been ordered to attack like a madman, and it's willing to do anything to sink our whaling ship."

Just then, Sword Douluo, high above the whale-hunting ship, whispered, "They're here!"

A few hundred meters ahead, another huge gray whale appeared, swimming rapidly. This time, the gray whale was enormous, about twenty meters long.

Ning Xingchen also spotted the raging gray whale and said, "Could this be a hundred-thousand-year-old one?"

Just then, the entire whaling ship was surrounded by the raging gray whales on all sides.

"A hundred thousand years old?" Hai Mingyue thought to herself, "This is bad."

At this moment, Hai Dafu and the others also discovered the Angry Sea Gray Whale King.

"Sect Master, it's the 100,000-year-old Wrathful Sea Gray Whale King. We're surrounded by no less than fifty 10,000-year-old Wrathful Sea Gray Whales," said Luo Changtian, a retainer of the Hanhai Pavilion.

“Damn humans, how dare you hunt my son! You all deserve to die.”

"Da Fu, could it be that the ten-thousand-year-old raging gray whale we hunted a month ago was the child of this hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast?" Xi Yun looked at Hai Da Fu with a worried expression.

Even with five Soul Saints and one Soul Douluo, they couldn't stop so many ten-thousand-year-old Raging Sea Gray Whales, and even a ten-thousand-year-old Raging Sea Gray Whale King.

Looking at this raging gray whale king, Ning Xingchen was also certain of one thing: there must be a great many 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the ocean.

In particular, these powerful whale-like spirit beasts are easier to grow.

The ocean is probably several times larger than the land, and such a vast area is a paradise for sea spirit beasts. Ning Xingchen wouldn't be surprised if a hundred 100,000-year-old spirit beasts appeared in such a vast area.

"Changtian, you hold them off for a moment. I'll go ask Senior Sword Douluo and Senior Bone Douluo for help," Hai Dafu said.

There was really no other way; they definitely couldn't stop them, so we had to call in reinforcements.

Hai Dafu approached Sword Douluo and Ning Dingling and said, "Sect Leader Ning, please help save everyone on my whale-hunting ship."

"If you can save us, I am willing to offer the method of making whale glue to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School," Hai Dafu said directly, showing great decisiveness at this moment.

Knowing that this group of people wanted whale glue and had a need for it, he naturally brought out the most precious method for refining whale glue.

Even if they weren't sent to Poseidon Island this time, they would still be attacked by whales next time, and death would be inevitable.

Moreover, he had been considering not to continue the whale hunting operation, because Hai Dafu and others had always had the feeling of being targeted by powerful sea spirit beasts when they were hunting whale-type soul masters for the past two years.

Ning Dingling said, "Lord Hai, you are joking. We are also on the whaling ship now, and we should help each other."
