God Realm.
The divine artifact of inheritance on the Douluo Continent was triggered, and the Seagod sensed it, casting his gaze down to the mortal world.
"This girl has decent talent, but she's clearly not quite there yet. Why did the wisp of divine consciousness I left choose her as the inheritor?"
But when he saw Li Xun, he instantly understood: "Was the divine consciousness meant to draw my attention? This level of talent is indeed impressive. Hiss~ But it's a pity he's already been to the Asura God's inheritance site."
"What to do..."
The Seagod's palace fell into silence.
...
Haiyang City was not far from Seagod Island, only a ten-day voyage away. However, due to the dangers of the Douluo Sea, this short journey felt like an eternity for countless Soul Masters.
But that was only true for ordinary Soul Masters. With two Super Douluo escorting Li Xun's group, the journey was relatively calm.
Some sea Soul Beasts were intimidated by the auras of the Sword Douluo and the Poison Douluo before they could even launch an attack.
Even the notorious pirates of the sea, who struck fear into the hearts of many, were now obediently scrubbing the deck.
Purple Pearl, the captain of the Purple Pearl Pirate Crew, had roamed these seas for over a decade. Never had she suffered such humiliation.
Crouching down, she scrubbed the last stain on the deck with a brush, then slowly stood up, rubbing her aching back. She looked toward the approaching Seagod Island and muttered, "Finally, we've arrived..."
Her heart filled with excitement, and she hurried to the cabin. Soon, she arrived at Li Xun's room. "Sir, Seagod Island is just ahead."
Hearing the call from outside, Li Xun awoke from his cultivation and quickly stepped out of his room, joining Purple Pearl at the bow of the ship.
On the vast sea, the lush Seagod Island stood out prominently. It was a small island, about 400 square kilometers in size, slightly smaller than the capital of South Korea.
At the center of the island stood a mountain, the Seagod Mountain, which all Soul Masters on the island revered.
"Once the ship docks, you and your crew can leave," Li Xun said indifferently.
Purple Pearl's emotions were mixed. Six days ago, when her attempt at piracy failed, she had prepared herself for death. To her surprise, the senior on this ship hadn't killed her but instead kept her and a few of her crew members to handle the ship and chores.
"Sir, are you really planning to land on the island? Seagod Island has a rule that all foreign Soul Masters, regardless of their strength, must undergo a trial. If they fail, they'll be immediately expelled. Only those who succeed can stay on the island, and they're forbidden from leaving for the rest of their lives, or they'll face the wrath of the Seagod."
"Don't worry, I've already prepared for this," Li Xun said with a smile, seeing that Purple Pearl still had some conscience.
As for the so-called lifelong confinement and the wrath of the Seagod, he treated it as a joke.
"As long as you're confident, sir," Purple Pearl said, not wanting to press further. She had already done her part.
The seemingly short distance took the Dragon Abyss Boat half an hour to finally dock.
Shrinking it and storing it in his Soul Guiding Device, Li Xun looked at the Purple Pearl ship, which had been following them for days.
Turning to Purple Pearl, he said, "It seems you're quite respected among your crew. Go back now. If you ever need anything, you can visit the Xunyang Pavilion in Haiyang City and speak to the innkeeper. Tell him I sent you. We can do business together. As for piracy, it's best to leave that behind."
"Thank you, sir," Purple Pearl replied with a smile.
The waters near Seagod Island were originally off-limits to outsiders, not only due to the resistance of the indigenous people but also because of the attacks from the sea Soul Beasts in the vicinity.
Among them, the most feared were undoubtedly the Devil Soul Great White Shark tribe.
There were rumors that the leader of this tribe, the King of the Devil Soul Great White Sharks, was once the mount of the Seagod. Therefore, despite being a 100,000 Year Soul Beast, no Soul Master dared to hunt it.
However, with the Sword Douluo and the Poison Douluo as escorts, it was unclear whether the little white shark understood the disparity in strength between the two sides. It merely followed from a distance, never approaching.
After chatting with Purple Pearl for a while about the precautions, Li Xun watched her safely board the ship, then turned and led the group deeper into Seagod Island.
Once they had moved a certain distance from the coast, the Sword Douluo suddenly unleashed a powerful aura. This act of revealing their position lasted only for a moment, but it was instantly detected by some powerful entities on Seagod Island.
"Who dares to trespass on Seagod Island?!" The seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod Island immediately went on high alert, each swiftly rushing towards the location of Li Xun and his companions.
On Seagod Mountain, Poseidon slowly opened her eyes from her throne, and through her spiritual power, she instantly detected Li Xun's group. Her body then abruptly vanished.
Two Super Douluos, one of whom was nearing the 98th level in cultivation. Judging by their auras, none of the seven Sacred Pillars would be a match for them.
"What brings you here?" Poseidon's figure slowly solidified in the air not far from Li Xun and his group.
Her ethereal presence, even surpassing that of Bibidong, was complemented by her silver-white hair and a stunning figure that overshadowed her delicate features.
As soon as Poseidon appeared, even girls like Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong were struck by her beauty. They both glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's chest, making a quick comparison.
"Greetings, High Priest. We are from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. We have come to allow our younger generation to gain some experience. We apologize for arriving uninvited," the Sword Douluo and Li Xun first paid their respects.
As one of the three Limit Douluos on the continent, her status and strength commanded absolute respect, especially here on the sea. Land-based Soul Masters naturally had no advantage in the ocean, and if they were to face this High Priest, who was said to be invincible at sea, the Sword Douluo believed that even escaping would be uncertain.
The reason they didn't mention the Spirit Hall was that the Spirit Hall had once sent forces to attack Seagod Island.
"Rongrong, take out the Vast Sea Cosmos Cover," Li Xun said, turning his head.
"Oh," Ning Rongrong obediently extended her hand, and a faint blue light shimmered.
"The Heart of the Seagod!" Poseidon's grip on her staff tightened, and she sighed inwardly. Had this day finally come?
At this moment, the seven Sacred Pillar Douluos also arrived one by one, though they didn't recognize what Ning Rongrong was holding. However, seeing the High Priest here, their tension eased somewhat.
On Seagod Island, the High Priest, as the representative of the Seagod, was an invincible presence.
"Since you have come prepared, I need not say more. Follow me," Poseidon looked up at the sky, lamenting the unpredictability of fate, then slowly turned and flew towards the nearest Sea Horse Sacred Pillar.
Seagod Island was like a tropical rainforest, with spring-like weather all year round. Li Xun and his group stood on Dugu Bo's giant snake, taking in the scenery below.
This area was filled with plants rarely seen in the outside world. Even though Li Xun had read extensively over the years, he could only recognize a few of them.
The Sea Within the Sea was one of the seven sacred pillars of Seagod Island, the domain of the Seahorse Douluo.
Though it was called a "land sea," it wasn't due to its size, but because the originally calm pool was as turbulent as the ocean.
The pool was surrounded by dense vegetation and, from a high vantage point, appeared to be only about 500 meters in diameter. At the center of the pool stood a triangular platform with a peculiar stone pillar erected on it.
"Seahorse Douluo, you are responsible for testing them," Poseidon said as she landed on the shore, speaking in a calm tone.
"Yes."
The black-robed Seahorse Douluo stepped forward from among the seven.
