Chapter 287 · Sea God Grand Formation, the Divine Hidden Treasury

Sea God Island was a very magical place.

When Chen Ming had observed Sea God Island from far away before, he had not felt much. But after personally stepping onto the land of Sea God Island and sensing the energy flowing beneath his feet, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

"This energy flow… this gathering of energy… It's simply…"

Chen Ming turned his head and looked toward several directions of Sea God Island. Those were the places where the Seven Sacred Pillars stood.

Through the energy flow inside Sea God Island, Chen Ming could sense that the entire island was a huge formation.

Several large formation cores stood in the sea, forming an exquisite formation. It continuously drew power from the ocean, gathered it at the center of the formation, then slowly washed and filtered it. After refining the energy, it stored it inside the earth.

As for the foul energy, dead energy, and bad energy produced by life on Sea God Island, they would be washed away little by little during this process. In the end, they would follow the movement of the ocean currents and return to the sea together with the remaining energy, entering the ocean's cycle once more.

The core of Sea God Island was not on the island itself, but beneath it, in the sea below, among the countless layers of ocean currents flowing in different directions.

It was a three-dimensional formation built with Sea God Island as the formation core and the Seven Sacred Pillars as the formation legs.

The entire Sea God Island stood at the very center of the ocean's energy. The heaven and earth energy and life force contained in the sea would be washed through this formation, then poured into Sea God Island.

Around Sea God Island also lived a large number of Spirit Beasts.

Spirit Beasts themselves were symbols of life force. As long as Spirit Beasts continued to live in the sea, reproduce, fight, and die, they would constantly change the nature of this sea area, gather more life force, and keep the life force in the ocean stable instead of letting it fade away.

As long as the sea did not completely dry up, and as long as these ocean currents were not completely cut off, endless power would continue to flow into Sea God Island little by little.

Although the accumulation speed was very slow, and the energy gathered each time was tiny, if the time was stretched long enough, the upper limit of this formation would be terrifying.

Sea God Island, the Seven Sacred Pillars, the Spirit Beasts around Sea God Island, and even a much larger sea area nearby were all part of this formation.

And the very core of this formation was the Sea God Temple at the center of Sea God Island.

The Sea God's Light there was itself the symbol of these powers after they had condensed.

This Sea God's Light would continuously purify the energy and stabilize the entire flow of energy through Sea God Island.

Every bit of Sea God's Light was pure ocean power accumulated over countless years.

Every bit of Sea God's Light was the foundation Sea God had left behind for the so-called suppression by Sea God.

It could be said that the entire energy reserve of Sea God Island was the energy reserve of this Sea God's Light.

Even without a god, as long as a High Priest capable of controlling Sea God's Light still existed, they could control these accumulations and unleash power within Sea God Island that was no weaker than a true god.

"What an exquisite method. As expected of an inheritance left behind by a god."

Chen Ming sighed, while Bo Saixi and Xiao Bai—who had turned into her human form—both looked confused. Even Qian Daoliu rubbed his head and sensed the surrounding environment, but in the end, he still could not tell what Chen Ming was talking about.

"Heaven have pity. After all these years, someone finally sees through my arrangements."

Sea God's divine thought sighed inside the Sea God Trident. In his heart, he was beyond excited.

He was someone who played with technology.

Although he seemed unreliable, he had indeed studied all kinds of technology properly. Back then, the reason he chose Sea God Island as the place to pass down his inheritance was because the terrain here was very good. It allowed him to carry out deep modification and turn this place into an unprecedented treasure land upon the sea.

Even if Sea God's god position left them, even if divine power was cut off from this world, as long as the sea did not completely dry up, Sea God Island could still stand.

Unless one day, Sea God Island was directly destroyed by some huge force, and the terrain of the whole sea area suffered irreversible damage because of it, Sea God Island's foundation would remain extremely stable.

Ocean currents from all over the world would continuously bring heaven and earth energy and life force to Sea God Island, while carrying away its filth and impurities.

The Spirit Beasts around Sea God Island could improve the surrounding environment and also serve as a barrier for the island.

This was a treasure land that was easy to defend and hard to attack. Expanding outward was indeed difficult, but it could protect generation after generation, letting its people prosper and ensuring that the residents could steadily pass on their legacy.

But for so many years, no one had ever understood his work.

Everyone thought he had simply relied on brute force and divine power to forcibly reshape this place, completely ignoring all his careful and clever designs.

"I still have part of the Deep Sea Sunken Silver I left behind back then, as well as some things from when I conquered the sea. Take him to see them."

Sea God felt quite pleased, so he loosened his grip a little.

Under his instruction, Bo Saixi brought Chen Ming and Qian Daoliu to Sea God Island's treasury.

With Sea God's Light acting as the key, the seal left behind by Sea God slowly opened. Countless sealed treasures appeared before their eyes.

"In the past, there were also many Spirit Master families and sects upon the sea."

"Because the sea cut off many connections, some islands developed their own ecosystems and cultures. Countless small and scattered kingdoms were born this way. Many Spirit Master bloodlines took root and multiplied on these islands, forming many distinct Spirit Master sects and bloodline inheritances."

"In a sense, at the beginning, there were even more Spirit Master sects on the sea than on the continent."

"When I suppressed the sea back then, some sects chose to surrender and entered the sphere of Sea God Island's power."

"Some sects were completely destroyed during that process because they stubbornly resisted to the end."

"And some sects truly had countless blood debts on their hands. They had no possibility of being saved, so I directly wiped them out completely."

"I gathered a thousand years of faith from the sea and became a god. During that process, I also collected many things and left them here."

"Although not everything can be used, and not everything can be taken out, and quite a bit has been consumed over the years, there are still some good things stored here after all this time."
