The remaining Sacred Pillars also showed curiosity, wondering what kind of issue could prompt such statements!
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar heard this and continued, "High Priest, here's the situation: upon my return, I noticed a problem. It seems that the Sea Soul Masters of Sea God's Island are not enthusiastic about cultivation."
"Apart from a few exceptions, most Sea Soul Masters have very low soul power ranks. With such strength, it will be difficult to handle the numerous abyssal creatures in the future."
"Therefore, I propose that you issue an order for the Sea Soul Masters on Sea God's Island to focus on their cultivation!"
Poseissi understood the other party's concerns but still questioned, "Sea Dragon, why must I personally order it? You, too, are a Sacred Pillar of Sea God's Island, so surely..."
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar took a deep breath and interrupted with a very serious tone, "High Priest, we all know that in the eyes of the residents and Sea Soul Masters of Sea God's Island, your status is comparable to that of the Sea God!"
"Only if the order comes directly from you will these Sea Soul Masters wholeheartedly dedicate themselves to cultivation; the effect is far greater than if it came from us Sacred Pillars!"
At this moment, the other Sacred Pillars also realized the significance of Sea Dragon's proposal.
"It seems Sea Dragon has a point. Excluding us Sacred Pillars and the High Priest, the overall combat power of Sea God's Island is indeed too weak, with a large gap compared to external forces."
"Indeed, Sea Dragon proposed a good suggestion. High Priest, why not give it a try?"
"The High Priest's orders are indeed more impactful than us Sacred Pillars. I agree with Sea Dragon's proposal."
"I agree too. Although it's our responsibility as Sacred Pillars and the High Priest to protect Sea God's Island, the Sea Soul Masters must have the ability to protect themselves!"
Poseissi, seeing this, felt somewhat helpless...
Then, she sighed, "It seems you all think Sea Dragon's proposal is excellent..."
"Well then, for the future of Sea God's Island, let's give it a try!"
As her words ended, her entire body erupted with a terrifying soul power fluctuation to spread her upcoming words on a large scale...
"Sea Soul Masters of Sea God's Island, hear my command: from today onward, you must focus your entire efforts on cultivation, and strive to increase your soul power rank as much as possible!"
"In the days to come, Sea God's Island may be subjected to sudden attacks again, and by then, you must at least have the power to protect yourselves!"
With two short sentences, under Poseissi's vast soul power, the message instantly spread throughout the entire Sea God's Island, ringing in the ears of every Sea Soul Master...
Having done all this, Poseissi looked at the neighboring Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar, "Sea Dragon, is this sufficient?"
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar responded with gratitude, "Thank you, High Priest, for being willing to trust me!"
Poseissi nodded, "In that case, as you have been traveling these past days, you should first go back and rest well. We can discuss any matters tomorrow."
The Sea Dragon Sacred Pillar thought for a moment and chose to accept, "Yes, High Priest."
These past few days, his mental state was indeed not good, so a rest would be beneficial!
Having said this, he gestured to the other Sacred Pillars and resolutely departed...
Seeing the former leave just like that, the Sacred Pillars were somewhat surprised...
"Did he really just go like that? It seems this journey truly exhausted Sea Dragon."
"Indeed, I can even imagine the immense suppressed killing intent in his heart during interactions with Bi Bidong."
"No matter, with Sea Dragon's mindset, he will likely recover by tomorrow!!"
...
However, the next moment, Blood One's figure appeared directly in front of them...
Seeing this, all the Blood Gods suddenly appeared delighted,
Blood Four excitedly exclaimed, "Blood One! Why are you here? Does it mean you've already dealt with those guest elders of the Holy Spirit Cult?"
Blood Five squinted his eyes and said, "If the high-level combat power of the Holy Spirit Cult could be dealt with, these evil Soul Masters would surely retreat in face of difficulties!"
Blood Six also nodded and said, "That's right, in that case, the Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Masters' goal of breaking the Abyssal Seal has failed!"
Blood One glanced at them, "It's not that easy to resolve. Blood Two pulled Blood Three and two of the evil Soul Master guest elders into the virtual realm. As for the Ghost Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, Zhang Huanyun is watching over him!"
"I'm here to stop this skeleton in front of us because even if you all combine your efforts, you might not be its match!"
Upon hearing this, Blood Seven responded displeased, "Blood One, I don't agree with that. It's just an unintelligent creature. If we Blood Gods attack together, we can still deal with it!"
He felt Blood One had somewhat underestimated their strength!
Blood Eight frowned and said coldly, "Blood Seven, now is not the time for disputes. Blood One, what should we do?"
Blood One's gaze sharpened, and he spoke, "Immediately notify the surrounding soldiers to fall back two hundred meters and re-establish the line of defense to avoid being affected by the battle!!"
In order to deal with this skeleton, I will likely have to use my true strength. Once I unleash my full power, if there are other Soul Masters within the attack range, it's very likely they could be unintentionally injured!
Everyone nodded slightly and said in unison, "We understand!"
Thus, they began mobilizing the soldiers around them, guiding them to retreat...
Even though Blood Seven was not very willing, he did not disobey Blood One's command at this time!
After resolving all this, the pressure on Blood One eased considerably as he stared intently at the advancing Skeleton Giant, "Alright, now it's your turn!"
First Soul Skill, Ruthless Sword Qi!
With a wave of his hand, the colossal Ruthless Sword behind him unleashed an incredibly terrifying Sword Qi, slashing towards the front...
The precision strike landed on the skeleton's chest. Although it did not inflict substantial damage, the intense pain made it stomp frantically and continuously let out deafening roars...
Carefully observing Blood One, he pursed his dry lips, "Not even a slight breach, then, Eighth Soul Skill! Vast Sword Spirit!"
The eighth hundred-thousand-year soul ring suddenly lit up...
In an instant, the entire space displayed an extraordinarily terrifying anomaly...
...
On the other side, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue's battle with the three evil Soul Master deacons had entered a white-hot phase...
Only to see the latter's first soul ring light up beneath their feet, "First Soul Skill, Elemental Tide!!"
The power of elements harbored in the space, under Gu Yue's soul power manipulation, transformed into an overwhelming momentum, completely driving back the two Soul Douluo surrounding Gu Yue...
Taking advantage of the breather, she glanced sideways at Tang Wulin, who was still confronting an opponent with one hand not far away, "Wulin, how are things on your side?"
Even for her, attempting to resolve these two evil Soul Masters in a short time was nearly impossible, so she could not assist him!
Tang Wulin, who was being heavily pressed by another evil Soul Master and retreating step by step, replied through gritted teeth after hearing this, "I... I'm alright, just running low on soul power!"
Confronting the opponent with one hand, and this opponent being a Titled Douluo, his soul power was depleting too quickly!
If this continues, defeat is inevitable!
