Two days later, the atmosphere inside the magnificent and solemn palace of the Sea God Cult branch was exceptionally enthusiastic.
The branch leader personally issued an edict, recalling the other elders who were scattered and stationed in various places, with only one purpose—to hold a grand celebration ceremony for the glorious return of the Third Elder.
The participants in this celebration were a formidable group, including the highly respected Elder Situ Feng.
He was tall and had a resolute face, exuding an aura of authority that commanded respect without anger.
There is also the wise and composed Second Elder, Wan Xiaochen, whose deep eyes seem to be able to see through everything in the world.
And the formidable Fourth Elder, Xu Qiang, whose muscles bulged and exuded power, making him a force to be reckoned with.
Finally, there is the gentle and elegant Fifth Elder, Bai Quanfen, whose every move exudes a refined air.
In addition to these highly respected core elders, ten ordinary elders were also invited to attend.
They were all experts with the strength of a fourth-grade master, each holding an important position in the Sea God Sect.
These elders, some with serious expressions and others with smiles, all had eyes that sparkled with joy and anticipation for the return of the Third Elder.
"The Third Elder has returned, and he even brought back Elder Feng with him. The power of our Sea God Sect has greatly increased. This is truly a cause for celebration."
"Elder Feng is actually a mid-stage fourth-rank expert. If he takes one more step, he can become a numbered elder."
"Although other religions have also had ordinary elders return, none of them are as powerful as our Sea God Religion, especially since the Third Elder brought back a Venerable Envoy."
The reason why so many elders were so enthusiastic about the Third Elder was actually due to a very important and noteworthy reason.
It turns out that, at some point, a rumor began to circulate among the people:
It is said that the mysterious Third Elder has an extraordinary and profound friendship with the terrifying third-grade sea beast, the Green Toad!
This rumor spread like wildfire throughout the entire Poseidon Cult branch, causing much discussion and astonishment among the members.
In recent days, people have often seen the Third Elder going to the seaside alone, and then disappearing into the vast sea.
According to insiders, the Third Elder would stay there for quite a while each time, as if he were having some kind of deep, unseen communication with the legendary green toad.
This sight aroused everyone's curiosity even more, and their reverence for the Third Elder grew even stronger.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Chen Feng, disguised as Feng Zhiqiang, kept to himself in seclusion, locking himself in his room and focusing on his secluded cultivation.
All of this was due to the fact that the sect leader, Fang Wuqing, generously gifted him a batch of invaluable fourth-grade resources.
After obtaining these treasures, Feng Zhiqiang was overjoyed and immediately devoted himself to cultivation.
After two days and nights of tireless hard work, he finally succeeded in breaking through to the mid-stage of the fourth rank!
With the significant improvement in his cultivation level, Feng Zhiqiang's strength advanced by leaps and bounds, progressing by leaps and bounds in a single day.
He has now become someone that ordinary elders can hardly match.
Naturally, his status rose accordingly, and he became increasingly important.
"Third Elder, Elder Feng, what are your plans for the future? Will you be in seclusion at headquarters for a period of time, or will you be going out to take on more important missions?" After the banquet, the sect leader Fang Wuqing asked the two of them.
"Master, we were able to return alive this time thanks to some brothers from other religions. Therefore, I plan to visit those brothers who returned to their respective religions with us, and then come back to follow the Master's arrangements," said Third Elder Mo Qinglin. This was something he and Chen Feng had discussed long ago.
"The Third Elder is truly a man of great loyalty and righteousness. Well then, I'll give you some free time to make your own arrangements."
Fang Wuqing nodded, and the other elders also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because if the Third Elder and Elder Feng were to be sent out, they would definitely take some of their resources.
Sure enough, the morning after the banquet, sunlight shone through the thin clouds and fell on Poseidon Island.
Third Elder Mo Qinglin looked solemn. Standing beside him was Feng Zhiqiang. The two were preparing to step onto a giant green toad and begin an important journey.
They traveled to other religions to visit their brothers who had shared hardships and dangers with them and were eventually able to return.
It's worth noting that some of these brothers who once fought side by side are now facing less than ideal circumstances.
Perhaps due to suppression from external forces, or perhaps due to some irreconcilable internal conflicts, their lives have not been smooth sailing.
However, as Mo Qinglin and Feng Zhiqiang slowly left Poseidon Island aboard the Green Toad, Chen Feng, who had been on high alert, suddenly noticed something amiss.
He looked back and saw a mysterious aura faintly visible in the distance.
This aura was not unfamiliar to Chen Feng, who was familiar with the environment around Poseidon Island. It was the aura emanating from another powerful third-grade sea beast that he had previously detected in the nearby waters!
At this moment, this aura followed them closely like a ghost, sending chills down their spines.
Why would this third-grade sea beast be interested in them? Is it simply out of curiosity, or does it harbor some ulterior motive?
How will Mo Qinglin and his companions respond to this potential threat...?
After a deep conversation with the Green Toad, Chen Feng finally learned an important piece of information: it turned out to be a giant octopus with the strength of a third-grade creature!
