ALL NOVEL Chapter 134: Ruining Tang Chen's Love Luck
**Chapter 134: Ruining Tang Chen's Love Luck**
That night, Gu Ziyi went to see Li Chanfei.
The two reunited after a long time apart. For Li Chanfei, it had been a period of drought, so her enthusiasm was no less intense than Bibi Dong's.
During their time together, Li Chanfei revealed that Bibi Dong was already aware of their relationship.
"But don't worry, little brother, she didn't react much to the news!"
"Speaking of which, it's all thanks to your sister here that she was able to accept it so quickly!"
Li Chanfei then recounted how she had persuaded Bibi Dong, stopping her from confronting him. Otherwise, Bibi Dong would have gone after Gu Ziyi immediately after learning about Ning Shuangjiang.
"This is all thanks to you, sister. As your brother, I must properly comfort my sister as a reward for helping me!"
Only then did Gu Ziyi realize how much he had been helped, and he immediately did his best to make Li Chanfei even happier with their carnal interaction.
"Sister Fei, do you know what the Martial Soul Hall has been up to recently?"
During his moment of clarity, Gu Ziyi inquired about the recent activities of the Martial Soul Hall.
Qian Xunji had mentioned other tasks assigned to him when he returned.
"What actions has the Martial Soul Hall taken recently?"
Hearing his question, Li Chanfei frowned deeply in thought. She truly didn't know what might have been happening in the Martial Soul Hall recently that was relevant.
"By the way, the Martial Soul Hall seems to have discovered the location of Poseidon Island some time ago!"
Li Chanfei quickly recalled one significant event that had occurred recently.
"Poseidon Island?"
Gu Ziyi's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this, and he finally understood his teacher's intentions.
If Li Chanfei hadn't mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about the Martial Soul Hall's expedition to Poseidon Island.
After Li Chanfei brought it up, Gu Ziyi immediately realized that it was indeed time for the Martial Soul Hall to launch its expedition to Poseidon Island.
In the original story, Bibi Dong established a romantic relationship with Yu Xiaogang when she turned 18. Later, they participated in the Martial Soul Hall's expedition to Poseidon Island.
Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang confirmed their relationship during the Lantern Festival in Yelin City. The following year, Bibi Dong didn't attend, and the two parted ways.
In other words, the expedition to Poseidon Island took place a year after their relationship was officially established.
According to Gu Ziyi's earlier speculations, their relationship was discovered by Qian Xunji, likely during the expedition to Poseidon Island.
A total of about 2,000 Soul Masters joined the expedition to Poseidon Island, but only 200 returned.
Among them were Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang.
With Yu Xiaogang's strength, it was clear that Bibi Dong's desperate protection allowed him to return alive.
Their relationship was also exposed at this time!
Later, Qian Xunji used this as leverage to imprison Bibi Dong in his vile scheme.
By then, Bibi Dong was already 19 years old, and the timing was perfect.
...
"Xiao Yi, Dong'er, do you know about Poseidon Island?"
Sure enough, a few days later, after summoning his two disciples, Qian Xunji asked if they knew anything about Poseidon Island.
The Douluo Continent had always known about the existence of Poseidon Island, but in the past, only a few coastal Soul Masters had heard of it. The specific location of Poseidon Island remained unclear.
"Teacher, I know."
"It's the Poseidon Island that has always been relatively mysterious and that we didn't have much information about in the past."
After Qian Xunji finished speaking, Gu Ziyi responded directly.
Then he asked straightforwardly: "Teacher, you called me back this time to prepare for an expedition to Poseidon Island, didn't you?"
"Haha, it seems Xiao Yi has already figured it out. Yes, this time our Spirit Hall is preparing for an expedition to Poseidon Island to uncover its mysteries!"
When Qian Xunji heard his disciple's words, he immediately laughed, looked at him approvingly, and confirmed his speculation.
"An expedition to Poseidon Island?"
"Will this bring any benefit to our Spirit Hall?"
After hearing his teacher's confirmation, Gu Ziyi, who was already mentally prepared, asked him directly.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't oppose Qian Xunji's decision to undertake this expedition to Poseidon Island. However, if his teacher wanted him to join the expeditionary force, he would have to object.
It wasn't wise to directly refuse his teacher's request or deny his decision to lead an expedition to Poseidon Island.
Otherwise, Gu Ziyi couldn't think of a good reason to reject Qian Xunji's arrangement. He couldn't simply say he was scared, right?
But the truth was, he was deeply afraid of this expedition to Poseidon Island!
In the original story, Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang managed to return somehow. In his view, the main reason was that the plot wouldn't allow them to die.
So, they were fortunate to return alive.
However, the cost of their survival was steep—of the two thousand Soul Masters who participated in the expedition, only two hundred returned in the end.
And that was without Poseidon Douluo Bo Saixi personally intervening. Otherwise, no one from the Spirit Hall's expeditionary force would have survived.
Gu Ziyi couldn't guarantee that if he went alone this time, he'd be lucky enough to return alive.
So, he planned to cancel his teacher's expedition to Poseidon Island entirely.
This way, he wouldn't have to go.
As for the series of changes caused by the Spirit Hall not going to Poseidon Island?
Now that the timeline had already been completely altered due to his interference, Gu Ziyi didn't care about messing it up further.
If the Spirit Hall didn't attack Poseidon Island, Qian Daoliu wouldn't invite Tang Chen to explore the island together. The two wouldn't fall in love with Bo Saixi, and Tang Chen wouldn't return to the Slaughter City seeking divine inheritance. In the end, he wouldn't be parasitized by the Nine-Headed Blood Bat King and become the next King of Slaughter.
This change simply meant leaving Tang Chen behind, making the Clear Sky Sect more challenging to deal with in the future.
But as long as there were thousands of Soul Masters in the world, what was the harm in the Clear Sky Sect having one more Tang Chen in charge this time?
Moreover, this change was more beneficial to one person: Bo Saixi.
Bo Saixi wouldn't meet Tang Chen and naturally wouldn't fall in love with him. There'd be no need for her to wait decades for his return.
In any case, Gu Ziyi had no intention of risking his life on Poseidon Island.
In his view, attacking Poseidon Island was far more dangerous than attacking the Clear Sky Sect.
After all, the Clear Sky Sect was still on the mainland, and Qian Daoliu would exercise some caution. Unless it was a life-or-death battle, there was no immediate threat.
Poseidon Island, on the other hand, was different—it all depended on Bo Saixi's mood.
"Benefit?"
"As long as Poseidon Island is conquered, the prestige of our Spirit Hall will rise to an even higher level, and we can uncover the island's hidden secrets!"
When Qian Xunji heard his disciple's rhetorical question, he first explained to Gu Ziyi, then looked at him with a frown. "What's this? Xiao Yi, are you against the Spirit Hall's expedition to Poseidon Island?"
His disciple's rhetorical tone had already hinted at his attitude.
"Yes, teacher!"
Gu Ziyi openly admitted and then continued to ask, "Poseidon Island should be quite far from us, right?"
Qian Xunji nodded slightly. "That's true. After going out to sea, it takes about half a month to sail to Poseidon Island!"
"That's it, Master. Poseidon Island is quite far from us. Let's not even mention the possible strength of Poseidon Island. Even if our Spirit Hall successfully conquers the island, how useful would it really be to us?"
"One could argue that the benefit is minimal for such a labor-intensive operation!"
"Unless Poseidon Island is truly powerful and houses many strong Soul Masters of the sea."
"But if that's the case, our Spirit Hall won't be able to capture Poseidon Island so easily. In the end, we might suffer a major setback due to the lack of timely supplies and support on our side!"
"So I feel that the expedition to Poseidon Island is not worthy of the current Spirit Hall!"
"Either Poseidon Island is too weak, and we won't gain much by conquering it, or Poseidon Island is too powerful, and we're likely to face a lot of trouble!"
"If our Spirit Hall expedition to Poseidon Island fails, our efforts to unify the continent will be delayed once again!"
"So, Master, your disciple does not recommend this expedition to Poseidon Island!"
Gu Ziyi didn't hold back and spoke openly about his dissatisfaction with the expedition to Poseidon Island and the potential issues it could bring.
Not to mention whether they would succeed—even if they did, the benefits wouldn't be substantial for them!
And as Gu Ziyi mentioned, the effort and reward of the expedition to Poseidon Island are not proportional.
In the original work, the Spirit Hall failed, not only losing nearly two thousand elite Soul Masters but also two Titled Douluos in the expedition!
The Spirit Hall suffered such a severe setback in the canon!
This strength is already comparable to that of a high-level sect on the continent.
Certainly, they are far superior to the four lower sects, mainly because there isn't even a single Titled Douluo among them.
After hearing Gu Ziyi's words, Qian Xunji seemed a bit stunned. He didn't expect his plan to be so strongly rejected by his disciple.
However, he wasn't angry. He had already had discussions with his disciple before about how to make the Spirit Hall more powerful and how to unify the continent.
Even the idea of courting some of the sects was proposed by Gu Ziyi.
Thus, Qian Xunji highly recognized his disciple's wisdom.
Now that he said the expedition to Poseidon Island wasn't a good decision, Qian Xunji had to seriously consider it.
"In that case, I will carefully think about the feasibility of this plan, so please, you and Dong'er may return for now!"
In the end, Qian Xunji chose to postpone the plan because he wanted to carefully deliberate on Gu Ziyi's words.
"Understood, Master!"
Gu Ziyi was relieved to hear his master's decision.
He hoped that Qian Xunji would eventually change his mind about the expedition.
In any case, he would never be part of an expedition to Poseidon Island.
Gu Ziyi wouldn't go, knowing the potential risks.
Only if he obtained the approval of the Poseidon's Heart would he dare to venture to Poseidon Island.
Because if the Poseidon's Heart recognized him as its master, Bo Saixi wouldn't harm him.
Then again, if he succeeded in obtaining the Poseidon's Heart, Gu Ziyi would take the initiative to go to Poseidon Island without Qian Xunji's orders.
However, although he had obtained the Poseidon's Heart, it had not recognized him as its master.
After his last failure, Gu Ziyi didn't attempt it again.
Since his Soul Ring setup remained the same as before and his qualifications hadn't changed, he naturally wouldn't try again without any adjustments.
The attempt to refine the Poseidon's Heart wasn't pleasant, and he had no inclination to endure such abuse again.
"Elder Sister, come with me!"
After leaving the Papal Palace, Gu Ziyi took Bibi Dong straight back to his residence.
Buzz—
Gu Ziyi then took out the Poseidon's Heart from his soul guide.
"Stinky little brother, what is this?"
"Is this for me?"
When Bibi Dong saw the exquisite Poseidon's Heart in Gu Ziyi's hands, she was immediately captivated by its appearance and cheerfully asked what it was.
"If the elder sister can gain its approval, I'll give it to you!"
"If you can't, then there's nothing I can do about it. I'll have to keep it for myself."
Gu Ziyi said with a smile.
Long after his own failed attempt to refine the Poseidon's Heart, he had considered letting his elder sister try.
Arriving in the Douluo Continent, a world where one could ascend to godhood, his long-term goal was naturally to become a god.
However, if he couldn't find a suitable god's inheritance or ascend to godhood himself, then helping his wife become a goddess was also a viable path!
The main reason he wanted to become a god was for immortality. If he couldn't achieve it himself, he could still attain it by assisting his wife in becoming a goddess and following her to the Divine Realm as a family member, thereby fulfilling his goal.
Once in the Divine Realm, there would be ample time to contemplate other paths to divinity.
Only by living could one consider the future!
Thus, after failing to refine the Poseidon's Heart, Gu Ziyi didn't mind allowing his elder sister to give it a try.
If Bibi Dong could inherit the divine legacy of the Poseidon's Heart, it would be a great choice for her to take Poseidon's place.
Otherwise, she would have no choice but to go to the Slaughter City to inherit a divine position as in the original work.
It would be fine if she obtained the divine legacy of the God of Asura, but if she inherited the divine legacy of the Rakshasa God, Gu Ziyi truly wouldn't be optimistic about her path.
This was because the prerequisite for Bibi Dong to begin the divine legacy trial of the Rakshasa God was to kill the owner of a Seraphim Martial Soul.
In the Martial Soul Hall, there were many two-winged angel Martial Souls. The Martial Soul Hall even had an angel legion among its ranks. However, the only ones with Seraphim Martial Souls were those from Qian Daoliu's lineage.
"Gain its approval?"
"What is this? Is it powerful?"
After hearing her younger brother's words, Bibi Dong's curiosity grew.
It certainly wasn't simple for an item to require her approval!
"Well, it's a very powerful treasure. Elder sister, you'll know as soon as you try!"
Gu Ziyi nodded but didn't directly explain what the Poseidon's Heart was.
"Younger brother, did you try and fail?"
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes glanced at him intently.
"Yes!"
Gu Ziyi rolled his eyes at her. "It's tough to judge people, but just try and you'll understand."
"Hehe, now I really want to try!"
When Bibi Dong heard Gu Ziyi confirm it, she suddenly smiled.
This made her even more curious about the Poseidon's Heart in her hands. After all, it wasn't easy to stump her stinky younger brother!
Bibi Dong then took the Poseidon's Heart from Gu Ziyi's hands, examined it closely, and began attempting to refine it.
Buzz—
In mere moments, Bibi Dong entered a trance, and her consciousness plunged directly into the Poseidon's Heart.
Gu Ziyi stood guard by her side.
Looking at Bibi Dong, who had already started refining it, Gu Ziyi was also somewhat curious to see if she could gain the Poseidon's Heart approval.
Logically, with her qualifications, there shouldn't be any problem.
…
