Hearing Tang San speak of the contents of his seventh trial, everyone quieted down, and looked at him with intense disbelief. Divine weapon, pull out, Seagod's Trident. Even though it was only a few words, but what did it mean?
Ma Hongjun voiced out everyone's doubts, "Brother, your Seagod's Nine Trials, don't tell me you're really going to become Seagod? This divine weapon, is it a weapon used by gods? " Even though Tang San had already guessed a few things, when it came to it, he still couldn't help but feel his heart beat wildly. No wonder, no wonder the seven sacred pillar protectors Douluo and Bo Saixi all said that after the first six trials, the trials would be different. It seemed like his guess was correct.
At this time, as the big brother, Dai Mubai showed his proper calmness, "Let's not think too much for now, wait until little San truly tries this seventh trial. No matter what, this seventh trial is very important. "
Oscar said, "The most important thing right now is, after this Trident is pulled out, will it belong to little San, or is it just a trial? According to what we've seen and heard on Seagod Island, Seagod's Trident should be a true divine weapon. If we can get this thing, what's there to be afraid of in Martial Soul Palace? "
Tang San said, "Mubai is right, no matter what this trial means, we have to pass it to understand. Don't have too high of an expectation for now, otherwise, if we guess wrong, we'll be even more disappointed. "
Oscar lowered his voice, "Four of us seven have already finished the trials. After little San passes the seventh trial, Rongrong will also be done. Shouldn't we think about how to leave this place? Little San, tell us how you felt when you fought against Seagod Douluo and Bo Saixi that day. Zhuqing was a bystander after all. Although bystanders see things clearly, she didn't truly experience it, and definitely couldn't feel Bo Saixi's true strength. Do you think that after you finish the nine trials, with the strength of the seven of us, we can leave this place? "
Looking at Oscar's sneaky appearance, everyone couldn't help but smile. Only Tang San's expression was somewhat grim as he sternly said, "Before coming here, our estimations were still insufficient. Even though I had always thought highly of Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi's strength. However, after facing her in person, I finally understood how huge the gap between us and her was. I also understood how terrifying the level 99 Titled Douluo's power was. In my eyes, she was no different from a god. If we try to force our way through, we won't be able to do it even if we're Titled Douluo or above. "
The last sentence was said resolutely and decisively.
Everyone looked at each other. Ma Hongjun couldn't help but say, "It can't be, Brother. No matter how powerful she was, she was just one person. If you were a Titled Douluo, with so many hundred-thousand-year soul rings, would you still be afraid of her? "
Tang San sighed, "You don't understand. I can't say for sure how much my strength will increase after I reach Titled Douluo, but I can tell you for sure that with my current strength, if I were to fight her head on, she would only need one hit to easily crush me to pieces. I was able to pass the sixth trial purely because of calculations and luck, and not strength. Bo Saixi also suffered many restrictions in her battle with me. If she went all out, she could definitely destroy a city in one move. If she opened her domain, then none of us would be able to break free. Therefore, if we want to leave Seagod Island, we definitely can't force our way through. Right now, I just hope that my guess is correct. After pulling out that Seagod's Trident, everything should be clear. If things don't go our way, then we can only collectively cultivate here. One day, when everyone's strength rises above the ninety-fifth rank, then maybe we'll have a chance to leave. Or if both my spirits reach the ninth ring level, and I have a complete set of spirit bones, then I'll still have a chance. "
As he said this, Tang San couldn't help but think of Bo Saixi's casual attack when she flipped her hand to summon clouds and rain. In a situation where he didn't use his Martial Soul, just one attack from that light as a feather would be enough to render him powerless to retaliate. If not for the abnormal Invincible Golden Body, that palm might have taken his life. In front of her level of strength, even if his body was made of gold, he would still be smashed to pieces.
Tang San understood that after Dai Mubai, Oscar and Ma Hongjun had also reached the Hun Douluo level, their confidence was bursting. He had to remind them.
Sure enough, after hearing Tang San's words, everyone's expressions turned serious. Under the continuous rewards, Dai Mubai, whose spirit power had already reached the eighty third rank, said: "Strength is the hard truth. Don't waste time, everyone start cultivating. Little San, you definitely have to pull out that Seagod's Trident! "
Tang San rested for a full three days, not only to let his body and spirit recover to peak condition, but also to straighten out his thoughts after coming to Seagod Island. On the morning of the sixth day after passing the sixth trial, he brought Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu to the stairs leading to Seagod Hall.
As they climbed the one thousand and one steps, arriving in front of the grand Seagod Hall, the Seagod's seven sacred pillar protectors, Douluo, were already standing there waiting for them, as if already expecting them to come today.
Sea Dragon Douluo stood in the middle, the other six Douluo standing on either side. Tang San brought the two girls to a stop in front of Sea Dragon Douluo, bowing slightly: "Greetings seniors."
Sea Dragon Douluo leaned to the side, not accepting his courtesy, looking at him with a somewhat complicated expression in his eyes, "You three, please follow me." Finished speaking, he took the lead to turn and walk into Seagod Hall.
They had already been on Seagod Island for four years, but this was still the first time Tang San and the others were so close to Seagod Hall.
The huge stone pillars in front of Seagod Hall were carved with all sorts of patterns, some of them sea spirit beasts that Tang San and the others had seen before, but even more of them were creatures they had never seen before, presumably also existences of the sea.
Walking into Seagod Hall, it was pitch black inside. There wasn't a single window in the entire hall, so naturally there was no light from outside. The hall seemed very spacious, without any buildings in sight. This hall could be described as simple and unadorned, or it could also be described as simple. Tang San hadn't expected that the grand Seagod Hall would have no decorations at all, and be so dark.
After just a few steps, Sea Dragon Douluo stopped, speaking respectfully inside: "Master, Tang San, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu have arrived."
"Mm, you can leave." Bo Saixi's voice came from inside.
"Yes." Sea Dragon Douluo bowed respectfully inside, then moved aside and walked out from the side. When he passed by Tang San, he gave a slight nod to Tang San, then walked out.
Without Sea Dragon Douluo's huge body blocking the way, Tang San could finally see the scene inside the hall. There were no other buildings in this hall, only eight platforms. The seven platforms outside formed a circle. Each platform had a different style. They were similar in appearance to the seven platforms that the seven sacred pillars were on. It was like a shrunken platform of the seven sacred pillars. However, there were no sacred pillars here, only seven platforms.
And in the center of these seven platforms, there was another huge platform, which could be seen from between the two outer platforms. This platform had a total of three levels, and was several meters taller than the seven outer platforms. The entire platform was circular, and the higher it was, the smaller it was. Due to the darkness in the hall, one could only vaguely see a long pole in the center of the highest platform, but it wasn't very regular. The top was larger, conical, and completely black.
Bo Saixi sat in the center of the first level of the platform, sitting cross-legged with her palms facing up, each making a strange gesture with her eyes closed. If it wasn't for Tang San's exceptional eyesight, he wouldn't even be able to see this.
"Tang San, come forward." Bo Saixi's faint voice rang out, echoing in the spacious hall.
"Yes." Tang San responded and walked forward with large strides. His eyes stared calmly at Bo Saixi, his heart as calm as an ancient well without any ripples. If Bo Saixi wanted to deal with him, it would be as easy as lifting a finger. Since he was already here, there was naturally nothing to worry about. However, in his heart, Tang San didn't like the feeling of having his fate in someone else's hands.
Passing through the outer platform, Tang San brought Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu to a spot five meters away from Bo Saixi before stopping.
"Greetings, senior." The three bowed.
Bo Saixi accepted their greetings. Tang San realized that the Bo Saixi he saw this time was a little different from the one he saw in the Sixth Trial a few days ago. If the Bo Saixi back then gave him the feeling of being as deep as the ocean, then the Bo Saixi now was just like a kind old lady. Although her appearance was still young, noble, and beautiful. However, her eyes that were filled with vicissitudes were filled with kindness. If the last time they met, she was like an insurmountable mountain, then the feeling she gave Tang San right now was more like how a Maestro who treated him like his own child often looked at him.
Bo Saixi smiled amiably, "Before you begin the Seventh Trial, I'll tell you the story of the ocean. Do you know how big the ocean is? "
Tang San shook his head blankly. This question was no longer within the scope of his knowledge.
Bo Saixi said, "The area of the ocean is four times that of the land. In other words, the ocean is as big as four Douluo continents. In this vast and boundless ocean, there were far more creatures living there than on land. If these creatures in the ocean lose their restraints and keep waging war, then it will be even more chaotic than on land. "
"Many, many years ago, the ocean was chaotic like that. As the saying goes, heroes are born in troubled times. Among the numerous Sea Soul Master, a stunning genius appeared. He relied on his own strength and his entire life's effort to travel to every corner of the ocean. With the trident in hand, he relied on his powerful strength and unparalleled charisma to conquer the races of the ocean one after another. After a thousand and one years, he finally unified the ocean and was revered as the Seagod by all the sea races, creating an immortal legend. "
"The Sea Soul Master is also a human. Senior, can humans live for a thousand years?" Tang San asked.
Bo Saixi smiled amiably, "Call me High Priestess. Normal humans obviously can't live that long, but when a human breaks through to the Title Douluo level, they can live for about three hundred years. After that, every time they advance a level, they can live for another hundred years. In other words, at my level, I can live for over a thousand years. And back then, the Lord Seagod relied on his level 99 strength to conquer the ocean. Speaking of which, I have to mention your great grandfather. Apart from the Lord Seagod, he is the person I admire the most. "
"Great grandfather? But, your strength ….. "
Bo Saixi laughed self-deprecatingly, "What? You think I could reach rank 99 completely by relying on my own strength? No, you're wrong. I don't have that ability. I'm only a hundred years old this year, how could I cultivate to rank 99. Don't think that just because you've broken through rank 80, your future path will be easy. When your spirit power surpasses rank 95, according to normal cultivation, each rank advancement will take a hundred years as the base. From rank 95 to rank 96, it will take a hundred years. From rank 96 to rank 97, it will take another hundred years. Unless there's a special opportunity, otherwise, to reach rank 97, it will take at least two hundred years. But, this isn't the hardest part. Your Continent's Soul Master should have quite a few experts as well. But what I can be sure of is that apart from Qian Daoliu and your great grandfather, no one can break through rank 97. That is an absolute bottleneck. According to normal calculations, humans simply can't cultivate to rank 99. Because from rank 97 to rank 98 requires a full three hundred years, and from rank 98 to rank 99, it requires a full six hundred years of sleepless bitter cultivation. And me and Qian Daoliu only have the strength we have today because of the shadow of our ancestors. Only your great grandfather, he was the same as Lord Seagod back then, completely relying on his own strength to cultivate to rank 99. Although I don't know how he and Lord Seagod did it, but when your great grandfather reached rank 99, he was three years earlier than Lord Seagod back then. He was also the only one who had the hope of becoming a god with his own strength. "
To Tang San, what Bo Saixi said before his eyes could be said to be secrets among secrets. He didn't interrupt again, and only listened quietly.
Bo Saixi continued, "Back then, after I passed the Peak Grade Eight Trials, I received the honor bestowed by Lord Seagod, and was promoted to High Priest. And my current strength was mostly bestowed by Lord Seagod. That was how I was able to cultivate to rank 99 in a short fifty years. Qian Daoliu's situation is pretty much the same as mine, except that he received the shadow of the God of Angels. It can be said that the three of us are pretty much the same in strength. However, on a fair platform, the strongest person would be your great-grandfather, because his strength was completely based on his own cultivation. But the competition between us can never be fair. In the sea, they are no match for me. On land, your great grandfather is the strongest. But in the sky, Qian Daoliu has a slight advantage. "
"Then do you know where my great grandfather is?" Tang San couldn't help but ask.
Bo Saixi sighed and shook her head, "I haven't seen him for many years after we parted that year. When he left, he told me that if one day he could break through rank 100 and become a true god, he would come find me again. "At this point, Tang San could clearly see a faint blush on Bo Saixi's face.
"Senior, you ….." Bo Saixi's gaze quickly became calm, and she smiled, "You're his descendant, so there's no harm in telling you. Back then, your great grandmother had already passed away, and your great grandfather and Qian Daoliu had pursued me together. But I rejected them. I told them that I would accept the feelings of whoever could break through rank 100. "
Tang San muttered: "Senior, the one you like is my great grandfather, right?"
Bo Saixi was surprised, "How did you guess?"
Tang San said, "You just said that among the three of you, my great grandfather has the highest chance of breaking through rank 100 and becoming a god. Plus, you and Qian Daoliu both received the shadow of the ancestor. Then, it's very likely that because of the shadow of the ancestor, you and Qian Daoliu will never have the chance to reach rank 100? Wouldn't you be rejecting Qian Daoliu by making such a request? If you only reject one out of the two, then it's certain that the one you like is my great grandfather. "
Hearing Tang San's words, Bo Saixi's entire person was a bit sluggish. Tang San also widened his eyes in shock, because he saw that Bo Saixi's hands, which had limitless magic power, were actually trembling slightly. For her to lose control of her emotions with her strength, it could be seen how agitated she was right now.
After a long while, Bo Saixi spoke again, "Tang Chen, oh Tang Chen, if you were half as smart as your great grandson, then I wouldn't have been alone for so many years. Even Qian Daoliu knew that I was rejecting him when he heard my words, and left sadly. But your great grandfather believed it, and left behind the words that if he didn't become a god, he wouldn't return, and left this place to search for the path to godhood. "
Bo Saixi didn't shed tears, but at this moment, Tang San could feel the deep sorrow in her voice. This wait had been decades! This incomparably powerful Seagod Douluo in front of him, was even more pitiful than his own parents in terms of emotions. Although his mother had once again become the Blue Silver Emperor, she could still be with his father, and the two of them truly loved each other. But his great grandfather didn't even understand Bo Saixi's feelings. The two of them clearly loved each other, but because of Bo Saixi's restraint and his great grandfather's persistence, they were never able to walk together.
Ning Rongrong, who was standing behind Tang San, and Xiao Wu, whose soul had returned to her body, looked at each other. The two girls felt that compared to Bo Saixi, they were much more fortunate.
"Senior, I think that great grandfather wasn't necessarily dumb. If he wasn't smart enough, how could he rely on his own strength to cultivate to rank 99? Perhaps it was because he was too obsessed with cultivation that he overlooked the meaning in your words. And you and him are both proud people. After leaving here, perhaps great grandfather understood your meaning. But, since he already said that he wouldn't return until he became a god, out of his own pride and the dignity of a man, he ….. "
Bo Saixi waved her hand, "You don't need to explain anything for him. It's too late to say anything now. Even if he returns, what can he do? With your appearance, all of this is meaningless to me. "
Tang San was stunned. This time, even he couldn't understand the meaning in Bo Saixi's words.
Bo Saixi said, "Back to the main topic. Even with Lord Seagod's strength, he still needs a thousand years to break through rank 100 and become a god. Do you know why? "
Tang San shook his head.
Bo Saixi said, "Because of the rules. Lord Seagod said that our world has its own rules, and the rank 99 Title Douluo's strength is the upper limit of these rules. At this level, don't even think about advancing an inch further. And breaking through this level is equivalent to breaking through the rules, surpassing the rules. That is the so-called god. That is no longer something that can be done with one person's strength. Lord Seagod relied on the faith power of millions and millions of sea spirit beasts and Sea Soul Master to break through. That's why he needed so many years. And as a believer of Seagod, and Qian Daoliu as a believer of Seraphim, we no longer have the qualifications to receive faith power, and naturally can't become gods. Only when faith power reaches a certain level can there be a chance of breaking through the rules. This is also why your great grandfather has the chance to become a god. But in reality, how slim is this chance? Of course, there is another shortcut to becoming a god. That is to obtain the recognition of the previous gods, and inherit the existing divinity. Gods won't die, but after becoming a god, they can only exist in this world for a hundred years. After a hundred years, they must leave this place. As for where to go, that's not something I know. And before they leave, they will leave a portion of their divine sense behind. Because their divinity is still there, and will remain in our world. When someone can completely obtain their recognition, then through a special method, they can inherit the divinity, and become a god again. There are only these two ways to become a god after reaching rank 100. Comparatively speaking, the second way is much easier. And you, the one who has accepted Seagod's Nine Trials, are the chosen one, the one chosen by Lord Seagod. When you pass Seagod's Nine Trials, you will inherit Seagod's divinity, and become the new generation Seagod, commanding the millions and millions of people in the ocean. "
At the end, Bo Saixi's emotions were clearly stirred up, and her voice also became louder, echoing in the shrine.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu were already stunned. Everything that Bo Saixi said was something they had never heard before. Xiao Wu covered her mouth in shock. She never would have thought that her lover would become the one chosen by god.
Bo Saixi's impassioned voice echoed in the shrine for a long time before slowly fading away. She also stood up from her original sitting position.
"Tang San, I'm telling you this now because you have already passed the first six trials of Seagod's Nine Trials, which are also the foundational trials of Seagod's Nine Trials. What you will face next will be a true trial from god. These last three trials may be much easier than the first six, but they may also be as difficult as ascending to heaven. It all depends on your luck. The weapon that has accompanied Lord Seagod's entire life on this Seagod's platform is also where a portion of Seagod's power is gathered. Pull it out, and that will be your seventh trial. With its recognition, you will be considered to have truly taken the crucial step to becoming Seagod. My hint to you is one word, faith. Lord Seagod's decree said that only those chosen by him have the chance to pull out Seagod's Trident with their persevering faith. Pull it out, and the three of you will pass all seven trials. Otherwise, your ending is not something I can control. "
Without Bo Saixi's explanation, Tang San understood what that ending meant. Bo Saixi had already revealed the secret of Seagod's Island. If they passed this trial, then the ones to know the secret would be the new Seagod's successor and his partner. If they couldn't pass, then the dead would naturally not reveal the secret.
Raising his head, Tang San's gaze focused on the black long rod erected in the center of Seagod's platform. No wonder it looked like a rod, it was caused by Seagod's Trident being inserted upside down.
This was the long handle of the Trident.
Bo Saixi had already moved to the side, looking at Tang San with eyes full of encouragement.
With his gaze focused on Seagod's Trident, Tang San walked step by step towards the platform. Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu followed closely beside him, one on the left and one on the right.
There wasn't any pressure here, but Tang San's steps were very heavy. His gaze never left Seagod's Trident. The reason why his movements were slow was because he was concentrating all of his mental strength on the Trident.
Through the feeling of his mental strength, Tang San discovered that Seagod's Trident was like a piece of dead metal. It didn't have any aura, but its heavy feeling was very obvious. Tang San discovered that the Trident was inserted not only in the center of Seagod's platform, but also in the center of Seagod Hall, and at the same time in the center of Seagod Mountain. It was as if the entire mountain existed for it.
Stepping onto the third floor, he finally faced the weapon left behind by Seagod. The exposed handle of the Trident was about three meters long, as thick as a child's arm. It was pitch black without any light, and only a thin layer of veined patterns could be faintly seen on it.
"You two stop." Tang San said in a low voice.
Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong simultaneously stopped. At the same time, Ning Rongrong also released her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and unhesitatingly entered Nine Treasure Avatar state. Six eighty percent amplification spirit abilities simultaneously shone on Tang San.
Receiving Ning Rongrong's amplification, Tang San immediately felt all of his attributes rise, and his mental strength rose to the peak. With a loud shout, he suddenly took a large step forward. He was already in front of Seagod's Trident. Raising both hands, he forcefully grasped the handle of Seagod's Trident.
An electric shock feeling spread through his entire body. The heavy feeling from before appeared in his hands, and the veined patterns on the handle of Seagod's Trident seemed to completely fit in his palms. What Tang San didn't expect was that this long hilt was unexpectedly warm, as if it was flowing with blood.
Hum — —
Spirit Blue Silver Emperor released. In an instant, Tang San had already released Spirit Avatar, but he didn't release a domain. This was Seagod's weapon, and using any domain to cover it might instead have the opposite effect. However, that golden Seagod's Trident brand on his forehead brightened. A beam of Seagod's Light shone on the handle of the Trident in front of him.
Boom — —
The instant the Seagod's Light shone, Tang San felt two blazing temperatures abruptly enter his body, instantly engulfing it. The Seagod's Trident in his hand seemed to tremble a moment, an extremely excited mood spreading from it. Immediately afterwards, from where Tang San's hands gripped it, a faint golden color began to spread. On the originally dark handle, traces of golden veined patterns began to spread along with the release of golden aura.
The blazing flow of energy that entered Tang San's body flowed back, and in that instant, Tang San felt as if his hands were no longer gripping a metal handle, but lava. The high temperature caused him to scream, but his hand still firmly held onto the hilt. At this moment, Tang San had a feeling that if he let go now, then he would forever be unable to hold this handle again.
Mystic Jade Hand, unable to be used. A kind of special aura transmitted from the Seagod's Trident into Tang San's palm, suppressing his hundred times successful Mystic Jade Hand to the point where he was basically unable to use it. The blazing veined patterns constantly transmitted to Tang San, making him tremble in so much pain that he wished he was dead. Traces of blood already overflowed from his palm, soaking into the faint golden veined patterns on the handle.
Ever since Tang San underwent the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's tempering, it had already been a very long time since he had felt anything like heat. But this time, he once again possessed this kind of feeling. His body impervious to ice and fire was unexpectedly completely ineffective against the temperature of the Seagod's Trident.
Clenching his teeth, Tang San simultaneously exerted force in both arms, his eighty fourth rank spirit power completely erupting, even causing his bones to emit a burst of cracking sounds.
The Seagod's Trident moved. Tang San clearly felt it move. Even though the movement was so subtle, it still began to slowly move upwards in his all out movements.
Tang San's spiritual force completely merged into the trident brand on his forehead, transforming into Seagod's Light and pouring into the Seagod's Trident in front of him. Because he felt that the more Seagod's Light he poured in, the lighter the weight of the Seagod's Trident seemed to become.
At this time, he understood another use of the Seagod's Light, and that was its use in the seventh exam. Very clearly, the higher the Seagod affinity he achieved in the first six exams, the stronger the Seagod's Light he possessed, and thus the easier it would be to pull up the Trident.
