Arriving at the very center of Sea God Island, one sees shimmering waters. In the center of the sea lies a small island, upon which stands a majestic mountain. The Sea God Temple sits atop this mountain.
The Sea God Temple appears to be carved from white jade, its square dome supported by massive white jade pillars. At first glance, it's impossible to discern the temple's true material.
Sea God Island itself radiates a dazzling array of colors, reflecting off the surrounding ring of sea.
The Seven Sacred Pillars also stopped outside the island, their eyes filled with piety. Not daring to overstep their bounds, they halted and turned apologetically, saying, "This is the forbidden area of our Sea God Island, the true Sea God Island. Only Sea God guardians who have passed the Purple-level or higher divine test can enter the temple to worship."
"There are 1001 steps leading to the Sea God Temple. This is where you should be preparing for your test. We are sorry, we cannot go there; you will have to go through it yourself."
As they spoke, a staircase, as smooth as silk yet shimmering with an unusual light, descended before Qian Renchuan. The other end of the staircase led to the entrance of the Sea God Temple.
"Senior, I will go first."
With that, Qian Renchuan's gaze fixed on the staircase before him, the voice of the Sea God echoing in his mind.
"The first of the Nine Trials of the Sea God: Pass through the Sea God's Temple staircase, face the baptism of ten times the Sea God's light, and enter the Sea God's Temple."
"Reward: All Soul Rings' age increased by 1000 years, Sea God's affinity increased by 5%."
The voice flashed by, yet it was incredibly real. Qian Renchuan
's gaze sharpened, and he stepped onto the first step. A golden light immediately enveloped Qian Renchuan's body, and an indescribable, irresistible pressure suddenly pressed down on him.
"This seems similar to the gravity training my father used on us, only with the addition of mental strength trials,"
Qian Renchuan murmured, but he didn't let his guard down, remaining vigilant at all times, taking each step carefully.
As he moved forward, the resistance Qian Renchuan encountered increased, but for his body, now comparable to a Title Douluo, it was nothing more than a piece of cake.
He climbed a hundred steps in one go before feeling a slight resistance, but it still had little impact.
At this rate, it wouldn't be long before Qian Renchuan ascended the Sea God's Temple and began the Nine Trials of the Sea God.
"How could it be so easy?"
In Qian Renchuan's view, this was a divine trial; how could it be so easy? Something was amiss. He immediately calmed himself and observed the changes around him.
Just as Qian Renchuan continued forward, a sense of doubt arose in his heart. Suddenly, a blue light enveloped the entire staircase.
A strong sense of repulsion instantly enveloped Qian Renchuan, trying to throw him off the steps, but he resisted it, having anticipated it.
"There's definitely something fishy going on!"
Qian Renchuan's eyes lit up, secretly marveling at his foresight; otherwise, he might have truly been thrown off the steps by that mysterious force.
A short while later, water spears formed from divine power suddenly condensed above the steps. Anyone struck by them would be instantly expelled from the staircase.
"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow!"
Qian Renchuan immediately activated his Angel's Eye, his figure as elusive as a ghost, disappearing without a trace. In just a few flashes, he ascended dozens more steps.
With each step, the water spears shooting down from the steps became increasingly dense, making Qian Renchuan feel somewhat strained.
But his speed did not decrease; on the contrary, it became more and more proficient as time went on, sweat gradually beading on his forehead.
Qian Renchuan had never felt so exhilarated as he had today; this was true training.
His figure flashed continuously, and in the last few steps, he even leaped ten steps at a time, directly reaching the top and arriving outside the Sea God Temple.
Then, Qian Renchuan lay exhausted on the white jade floor, panting heavily. Although his body was utterly weary, his spirit remained undiminished.
Bearing his father's expectations, Xiao Wu's grudge, and the future of the Spirit Hall, he would not back down.
"The first of the Nine Trials of the Sea God has been passed. Reward: All spirit rings increased by 1000 years, Sea God affinity increased by 5%."
As the voice faded, information about the second trial followed.
"The second of the Nine Trials of the Sea God: Without relying on any spirit power, evade the attacks of ten ten-thousand-year-old sea spirit beast phantoms in the ring-shaped sea for one hour."
With that, Qian Renchuan vanished from his spot, leaving behind the ring-shaped sea below. The seawater surged forth, transforming into ten azure sea spirit beast phantoms.
However, because Qian Renchuan had not announced the trial, the ten sea spirit beasts did not attack, but simply awaited his reply.
After about an hour, Qian Renchuan finished his meditation, exhaled lightly, and said, "I'm ready. Let's begin the trial."
As soon as his voice fell, ten illusory sea spirit beasts attacked simultaneously, water blades and spears surging from all directions.
Qian Renchuan focused intently, not even using his Angel's Eye. His pupils slightly narrowed, and the surrounding attacks seemed to slow down several times.
With a quick crouch, he instantly dodged all ten attacks, water splashing past and wetting his hair.
Without any pause, the ten illusory sea spirit beasts attacked again, and this time Qian Renchuan skillfully used his movement technique to appear in front of one of the illusory beasts.
After dodging the attack from the nearest illusory beast, he saw the remaining nine attacks coming. Not daring to be careless, he hurriedly dodged them as well.
The nine attacks instantly struck the illusory sea spirit beast behind Qian Renchuan, causing it to scatter into a cloud of seawater and fall into the ocean.
"It really worked."
Qian Renchuan was panting heavily, having just pushed himself to his limit. Unable to use his soul power, his speed was now less than a tenth of what it used to be.
To survive an hour, ordinary methods were definitely not enough. He had thought of trying to see if the sea spirit beast phantoms were indestructible.
Now that he knew they could be destroyed, things were much simpler. He could easily destroy eight more phantoms by repeating his previous method.
Leaving only one would allow him to survive an hour without much trouble.
However, as if they had guessed Qian Renchuan's thoughts, the surrounding sea spirit beast phantoms began to move.
This thwarted Qian Renchuan's original plan, but he wasn't discouraged. He tried to find another way to block the attacks and destroy the phantoms.
But that didn't work either. Helpless, Qian Renchuan could only dodge the water spears that suddenly appeared from all directions. He
finally passed the test, gradually becoming exhausted, but he definitely couldn't continue with the third test today.
Dragging his aching muscles,
Qian Renchuan arrived outside the Sea God's Temple, where Sea Dragon Douluo and the other beasts had been waiting for some time. Seeing him emerge, they hurriedly went to greet him.
"Senior, I can't participate in the third trial today. Go and rest for a while,"
Qian Renchuan said with a wry smile. He had originally thought he could finish in three days, but now it seemed the God Trial was indeed not so simple.
"No rush. Even our Black-Level Seven Trials took a year and a half,"
Sea Dragon Douluo chuckled, comforting him. He then had someone settle Qian Renchuan down so he could rest properly.
