The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2361: Chapter 2361: Does the Sea God Really Exist?

”Let’s go!”

Samantha Tate stood eagerly at the bow of the Flying Boat, her arm stretched forward, shouting out loud like an excited child.

Carson Flores couldn’t help but laugh, but he understood her excitement. After all, Samantha hadn’t left Leisure Immortal Island for almost twenty years.

For an Immortal, twenty years isn’t that long—perhaps it passes in the blink of an eye. But Samantha grew up in the bustling cities of the Mortal Realm, a lifestyle deeply ingrained that couldn’t be easily changed by the experiences in the Immortal Realm.

To completely change, it might take thousands of years until those earliest memories become incredibly hazy.

Although Samantha traveled across the three realms with Carson, her environment was relatively simple. In Heavenly Mountain and Divine Wood Palace, she was nurtured as a core disciple and naturally hadn’t suffered much, so her lively nature remained.

Carson joked, ”Samantha, with that enthusiasm, we look like country bumpkins going to the city.”

Samantha chuckled, ”I haven’t shopped or bought new clothes for ages, but this time I’m going to shop till I drop!”

Carson laughed, ”True, it’s been ages since we’ve stayed on the island. Let’s have a good look around this time.”

After a bit of teasing, the group started discussing the sect disputes.

”Carson, who do you think will win the conflict between the Three Sects and the Sea God Sect?”

Carson sat cross-legged on the Flying Boat and casually replied, ”How would I know? Although the Three Sects are powerful, the Sea God Sect is the largest sect in the North Sea with numerous followers and many strong cultivators. Who can say who will win or lose?”

Samantha’s face was full of gossip, ”The Three Sects have a long history. The Dharma Lord, Path Lord, and Sect Hierarch they worship are most likely gone, but I’ve heard the Sea God of the Sea God Sect still exists...”

Carson raised an eyebrow and looked sideways, ”Who did you hear that from?”

”Lorne,” Samantha replied, ”You were busy at the time, and I was chatting with Cristopher Hopkins, Mr. Weaver, and Lorne when we talked about the Sea God Sect. I casually asked who the Sea God was. Initially, I thought the Sea God was an ancient belief like the Dharma Lord, Path Lord, and Sect Hierarch of the Three Sects, but Lorne told me the Sea God truly exists.”

Carson had never asked about this matter, so his curiosity piqued, ”The Sea God Sect has a long history too. Has the Sea God always been alive?”

Samantha shook her head, ”That part isn’t clear, but Lorne said the Sea God Sect and the Three Sects exist differently. It’s said that the Sea God is born from the faith of the followers; the more followers, the stronger the Sea God. After reaching a certain status, followers can invite the Sea God to appear under certain conditions. The higher the status of the followers, the greater the cost, and the more powerful the Sea God’s projection.”

Carson widened his eyes, ”Is it really that pragmatic? The higher the reward, the bigger the battle? The higher the payment, the harder they fight?”

Samantha was amused by Carson’s words, ”If the price is right, Immortals work to death. Haha, my first reaction was also like this. I’m also curious, when inviting the Sea God to appear, does the cost determine the power level of the Sea God’s projection?”

Lilianna Norman couldn’t help but laugh, ”Standard cost gets you a Peak Great Land Profound Immortal projection; ten times the cost, a Peak Great Land Supreme Immortal; a hundred or a thousand times the cost, directly to a Great Land Prime Immortal projection?”

Carson’s interest in the Sea God Sect grew, thinking of a previous sea attack, ”That being said, the attackers probably weren’t from the Sea God Sect. Otherwise, facing resistance, directly inviting a Peak Great Land Prime Immortal projection from the Sea God, wouldn’t that mean crushing the entire Ocean King in minutes, killing everyone with no escape...”

”The white-haired elder who chased us later, the Great Land Prime Immortal, was seriously injured by Flowing Cloud with one move. If it really were the Sea God Sect, they wouldn’t leave themselves vulnerable without inviting the Sea God to intervene, right?”

After a pause, Carson curiously asked, ”Did you ask what the cost you mentioned earlier is?”

Samantha shook her head, ”I didn’t ask in detail.”

Carson wasn’t disappointed, laughing, ”That’s fine, we’re going to watch them fight anyway. Even if others don’t know, the Three Sects fighting them surely know, let’s ask them then.”

The group didn’t delay along the way, flying straight through for a month and a half, reaching Moon God Island smoothly.

Moon God Island has countless residents who live by farming, mining, fishing, and more. There are many cities, but the most prosperous is naturally Moon City near the Moon God Sect.

The conflict between the Three Sects and the Sea God Sect is a clash between Eastern Radiance and the North Sea, naturally attracting countless cultivators to watch.

Though it’s a dispute, it has become a grand event in the North Sea.

Moon City is large, but every inn is already packed full. Many cultivators have no choice but to reside in Grolmar.

Carson and the others were also in the same situation, wandering through the city in search of accommodation, but unable to find any, they had no choice but to leave Moon City and settle in a wild mountain valley.

”More people came than expected, the inns are full, it seems we’ll have to camp in the wilderness...”
